Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

After confirming that everything was in place, Aker slowly turned around, his body suspended in mid-air.

Its cold gaze swept over the Pangu Ship flying in from all directions.

One hundred mechs.

Each one is equipped with a self-destruct device powerful enough to threaten the Demon Lord.

If they all surround it and self-destruct, even if it can withstand the attack, it will come at a great cost and suffer enormous losses.

Akel, naturally unwilling to be wasted here, quickly locked onto the northeast direction.

The interceptor mechs on that side have the fewest numbers. Several Pangu mechs are moving to the side at high speed, trying to block its escape route and completely surround it!

Its figure flashed, unleashing a sonic boom, and it broke through in this direction.

At the same time, a tentacle suddenly lashed out.

The bony protrusions at the ends of the tentacles cracked layer by layer, and a black bone spur more than two meters long detached from the flesh and shot forward with a piercing explosion.

The two sides were only three kilometers apart.

The moment the bone spike detached from the body, Aker's own flight speed, the force of the tentacles being flung out, and the speed of the Pangu flying head-on were combined.

The Pangu AI had just detected the danger and hadn't even had time to react when the bone spikes slammed into the breastplate.

puff!

The high-strength Zhengjin armor was hit instantly, revealing a huge dent. Combined with the enormous impact, all the internal devices were destroyed, and it was sent flying backward!

The cockpit was empty, but the AI ​​system inside made a judgment immediately.

[The power furnace in the chest area was damaged.]

[Main propulsion system failure.]

[Unable to maintain combat stance.]

[Enemy main target breakthrough probability: 97%]

Wang Ce and Shen Minghe were at the safe distance for the self-destruction.

[The conditions for self-destruction have been met.]

Aker was about to pass by the wrecked mech.

Suddenly, a blinding red light shone from the chest of the Pangu.

boom--!

It was as if another sun had appeared high in the sky.

The blazing white fireball instantly engulfed everything, and the terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, forcibly tearing apart the clouds and sending dust and rubble from the wasteland flying into the sky.

A mushroom cloud rose rapidly.

The two Pangu ships closest to the epicenter were unable to evacuate in time. Their magical shields and armor shattered simultaneously, and the machines lost control, plummeting into the distance trailing thick smoke.

The other mechs were spaced far enough apart.

The mech's magical shield blocked the most dangerous electromagnetic shock, and the navigation and communication systems were restored after a brief fluctuation.

[Loss of units: Three.]

[Number of combat-ready units remaining: 97.]

[Main target status detection in progress.]

Wang Ce, piloting the Pangu, was positioned further out, searching for an opportunity.

As the shockwave swept across the machine, he was thrown backward, the surface of the shield flashing continuously, and his chest felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, his breath suddenly caught in his throat.

The holographic field of vision was covered by strong light, but the brightness was reduced by the intelligent system to prevent damage to the driver's retina.

Wang Ce gritted his teeth and stared intently at the blast center.

"Did it hit?"

Shen Minghe's voice came immediately.

"Don't get your hopes up, the Demon God can ignore nuclear bombs!"

next second.

The fireball at the center of the explosion was forcefully smashed apart by a huge black shadow.

Akel rushed out.

Its shield remained bright, and it was not only unharmed, but also moved even faster!

It didn't even look back, using the cover of the explosion to continue its journey toward the Kona base.

Wang Ce's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, chase them!"

Shen Minghe controlled the mecha to change direction, and the thrusters on its back and feet spewed out bright flames.

"It's too fast!!"

After several upgrades, the maximum flight speed of the Pangu can only be stabilized at about one kilometer per second.

Aker's speed is nearly three times that of them.

The distance between the two sides is widening.

Wang Ce gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't catch up.

But he knew even more that he couldn't stop.

If Aker were to breach the base's defenses, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"All units, maintain pursuit!"

"Don't let it escape the surveillance!"

"Send the real-time situation back to the command center!"

Ninety-seven Pangu ships adjusted their formation and chased after the distant horizon, trailing long, fiery tails.

……

Kona Base.

A massive magical barrier enveloped the entire base.

Particles of plasma kept falling from the sky.

They trailed blinding blue light, like fireballs falling at high speed.

Close-in weapon systems (CIWS) missiles were launched continuously from behind the city wall to intercept targets outside the barrier.

The plasma fragments generated by the explosion scattered and fell, turning into large patches of blue-purple flames upon impacting the barrier, which then slowly slid down the surface of the barrier.

On the city wall, heavy electromagnetic cannons and plasma cannons roared in turn.

The cannon muzzle flashed repeatedly.

The charging demonic tide fell in droves, yet a steady stream of monsters continued to advance over the wreckage.

Laser weapons, along with Land Shield 3000, anti-aircraft missiles, drones, and other weapons, continuously swept through the dark mass of Winged Demons and Gargoyles in the air.

Large numbers of flying units fell like rain, their cries echoing amidst the flames.

The underground battles also continued unabated.

The Earth Dragon Type 1 drilling robot continuously transmitted explosion signals, easing the Earth Dragon's offensive.

However, there were too many burrowing dragons, and they were now nearly 100 kilometers away from the base.

Those demons on the ground were released by these burrowing dragons, launching a full-scale attack on the base!

In space, the remaining orbital platform continues to fight against the plasma swarm.

Long-range missiles were constantly being launched from the base and sent into space.

Underground, on the ground, in the sky, and in outer space—all four battlefields are firing at full speed!

Commands from each division continuously issued instructions.

Inside the main command center, everyone's eyes were fixed on the same screen.

Aker!

On the screen, the massive red target is rapidly approaching.

[The main target has broken through the mech's interception.]

[Distance from base: 500 kilometers.]

Current speed: 2,500 meters per second.

Estimated arrival time: 200 seconds.

On another screen, eight high-ranking targets who had originally followed Aker had disappeared.

They do not produce the vibrations that occur during digging, so they cannot be observed.

One of the staff officers looked grim.

"The eight demon lords disappeared after entering the underground."

"They've most likely come to the base via the tunnels!"

Another staff officer stared at Aker's trajectory, scratching his head anxiously.

"The most troublesome one is Aker."

"Its target is also the base."

"The outer mechs can't stop it, and nuclear weapons are useless. Damn it, it's too powerful!"

A brief silence fell over the command center.

How can we fight like this?

Zheng Jinren remained calm, his emotions unreadable, and said:

"Activate the inner city evacuation plan and close all access routes from the first to the fourth defense zones."

"Close-range firepower switched to direct fire mode, barrier fully activated!"

"Notify Commander Lin and the elves to evacuate the Kona base immediately!"

Orders were issued one after another, and the staff officers acted swiftly.

An alarm sounded inside the base.

One by one, heavy alloy doors began to fall, and transport vehicles and logistics personnel quickly evacuated from the city wall.

on the big screen.

Akel's red dot is still rapidly approaching.

Zheng Jinren's gaze swept over the anxious crowd, and he said:

"Cheer up, everyone!"

"We have one last trump card: antimatter bombs in the base!"

Inside the command center, everyone stopped moving.

The power of the antimatter bomb was enough to take down Aker, but the cost would be equally staggering.

If detonated within the base's defense zone, the painstakingly built Kona base could be completely destroyed.

This most important outpost for humanity on the Kona satellite will also cease to exist.

Those who can sit in this position and come here are not people who are afraid of death.

What truly made them hesitate was the value that this base represented.

The price is too high!

Is it really the only option to perish together with the other party?
