The player is playing like a god, and has already advanced to Space Marine level at the start.

Ato hovered high in the air, his wings flapping violently to barely maintain his balance. He stared intently at the blue giant emerging below.

fear.

Having followed the Queen in battles for eight thousand years, he thought he had long forgotten, but at this moment, a chill ran down his spine and straight to his scalp.

"Monster," Ato cursed.

The guy in the Terminator armor below isn't fighting; he's reaping.

Those newly transformed low-level demons, though lacking reason, possessed steely skeletons and a bloodthirsty instinct. But before the blue giant, they were as fragile as soaked paper.

There were no tactics, no evasion. The giant simply walked, its shoulder-mounted launchers tirelessly spitting out tongues of fire. Each miniature missile that fell created a mushroom cloud, the intense heat vaporizing everything, the shockwave shattering everything in its path.

"We can't fight head-on."

Ato made a quick judgment. His mission was to spread the virus and create chaos, not to fight a monster whose true nature was unknown. The Queen had said that if you encountered this blue-canned creature, run.

"withdraw!"

Ator suddenly turned around, his wings whipping up a whirlwind as he sped towards the edge of the atmosphere, leaving a trail of afterimages. Once he escaped the atmosphere, he could open a wormhole and jump back into the Demon Wings.

However, the moment he turned around, the steel giant below slowly raised its head. Beneath the Terminator armor helmet, red goggles locked onto the black dot in the air.

"Alien, trying to leave?"

Lu Xiao's voice was amplified by the loudspeaker, sounding like muffled thunder exploding over the city.

"Death is your only destination."

Click. The shoulder-mounted Cyclone missile launcher adjusts its angle, and the fire control radar locks on.

"For the Emperor."

call out!call out!

Two miniature nuclear fusion missiles tore through the air, trailing plumes of flame and emitting a piercing shriek.

Atto heard a whooshing sound behind him, turned around sharply, and his pupils contracted.

"Get out of here!"

He roared and swung his command sword backward in an attempt to detonate it, but the missile's trajectory twisted strangely—it was locked on by both heat source tracking and intelligent guidance.

Boom!!

Two fireballs exploded in mid-air. Although they did not directly hit each other, the shockwave from the close-range nuclear explosion instantly engulfed Ator.

"Cough!"

Atuo felt as if he had been struck on the back with a heavy hammer; his protective energy shattered, and his spine cracked. He plummeted straight down like a kite with a broken string, billowing black smoke.

boom!

The earth trembled violently. Ato smashed through an abandoned commercial building, reducing it to rubble. He struggled to crawl out of the dust and smoke, his demon armor tattered and black blood trickling from his mouth.

"Damn it... damn it!" He leaned on his command sword, trying to steady himself.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Heavy footsteps approached, each step sending boulders flying. Ator looked up; the blue giant was walking through the sea of ​​fire. Lu Xiao didn't raise his power axe, but calmly watched him, like looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

"Demon." Lu Xiao stopped fifty meters away. "Your life ends here."

Ato gritted his teeth, his fierce light blazing. Since there was no escape, then fight! He was the Queen's chief warrior, the ancient sword demon!

"Arrogant tin can makers!"

Ato roared, dark energy surged wildly, and red light covered the Command Sword.

"I am the Queen's blade! I have slaughtered countless civilizations!"

"Who do you think you are?!"

With a powerful leap, he launched himself into the air. Even injured, his charge still broke the sound barrier. The Command Sword, carrying the power to cleave mountains and split rocks, cleaved straight for Lu Xiao's head!

Lu Xiao remained motionless until the sword's edge was almost touching his head.

"I am Astartes."

He gripped the handle of the power axe tightly with his right hand.

hum!

An outburst of fury from the depths of the soul, the will bestowed by the Emperor—psychic power!

*Sizzle!* The blue disintegration field on the power axe instantly turned a blinding white. White lightning danced on the axe blade, and the explosion made the space tremble.

Lu Xiao swung his axe, striking first despite being the last to move!

clang!!!

The clang of metal against metal resounded through the sky. White psionic lightning collided violently with dark energy, the shockwave sweeping across hundreds of meters, leveling the ruins to the ground.

Ato felt an irresistible force surge through him, and his hand split open. White lightning pierced his body along the sword, frantically burning his nerves.

"What kind of power is this?!" Ato cried out in terror. This power was actually suppressing his dark energy!

Lu Xiao didn't answer, but took a step forward with his axe in one hand, and the servo motor roared.

The second blow!

clang!

Ato barely managed to block the attack, but was forced to kneel on one knee, the cement beneath his knee shattering.

The third blow!

clang!

The command sword let out a mournful cry, and deep marks appeared on its blade.

"Your sword is too fragile." Lu Xiao's voice was icy as he raised his power axe high, as if holding lightning in his hand. "Your spirit is too weak."

The fourth axe!

Click!

The command sword snapped. The power axe, having severed the blade, continued its momentum, striking Atto squarely in the shoulder.

puff!

Blood splattered as half of his shoulder and arm were severed.

"ah"

Ato screamed and staggered backward, clutching his severed arm as his fighting spirit crumbled. Invincible! This monster was a demon's nemesis!

"Wormhole! Activate wormhole!"

Ator frantically mobilized the dark data computation space. He only needed a second to escape back to the Demon Wings!

Buzz! A black wormhole vortex formed behind him. Ator's face lit up with joy as he turned to enter.

"Trying to run away?"

Lu Xiao sneered. Playing with space in front of him?

"In the name of the Emperor."

He clenched his left hand tightly into the void.

"Space lock!"

boom!

A burst of white psionic energy erupted, transforming into an invisible shockwave that struck the structural points of the wormhole. The forming wormhole crumbled and vanished with a soft "poof," as if crushed by a giant hand.

Ato bumped his head into thin air and froze.

"Solution failed?"

"Is the space locked?"

He turned around in disbelief and saw a scene that froze him: Lu Xiao was bathed in white psionic lightning, like a war god descended to earth, his power axe raised again, aimed at his head.

"This is Earth," Lu Xiao declared, "not your filthy alien backyard."

"die."

No fancy moves, just pure violence. The power axe cleaved down with destructive force.

The white psionic energy bound his body, rendering Ator unable to move, and he could only watch helplessly as the white light grew larger.

puff!

The blade pierced flesh. From the top of his head to his groin, Atto's tall body stiffened instantly, a line of blood spreading downwards from his brow.

Lu Xiao sheathed his axe and turned around. Behind him, Ato's body lay neatly split in two, the demon's blood staining the ruins. Indeed, Lu Xiao's psionic power had increased compared to Huang Cun; last time it was completely insufficient to interfere with Morgana.

……

Demon Wings, Command Hall.

All the demons stared blankly at the screen. Their god of war, Ator, was cleaved in two like a chicken being slaughtered.

"Depend on!!!"

Morgana jumped up suddenly, crushed the wine glass, and the wine flowed between her fingers like blood.

"Ato!!"

She rushed to the screen, her hands trembling as she touched the corpse in the image. It was her brother who had followed her for eight thousand years!

"Queen! Ato's vital signs have disappeared!" Atai cried, "His supergenes have been destroyed, that white energy... that energy is still corroding his remains!"

"I know! I can see it!"

"It's psionic again."

Atai, sweating profusely, said, "Queen, we don't have enough data to analyze it! But that energy directly affects the mental and material boundary; it's incredibly powerful!"

Morgana forced herself to remain calm. She was the queen; she couldn't afford to lose her composure.

"Luckily," she said, looking at the data storage device, "Luckily, I just made a full backup for him."

"As long as the dark data remains, as long as the memories remain, I can recreate him. Although resurrection is costly, Ator isn't completely dead."

She gritted her teeth and looked at the screen.

Lu Xiao stepped over the corpses and walked towards the tens of thousands of newly transformed demon elites in the distance. They were the most promising individuals selected by Ator before his death.

"Queen! That tin can is heading towards the recruits!" Atai shouted. "He's going to wipe them all out!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Morgana's eyes. With Ator down, and those tens of thousands of elite troops gone, the Demon Legion would be left with nothing on Earth!

"Open a wormhole!" Morgana ordered. "Bring back all those tens of thousands of elite troops! Now!"

"But Queen," Atai said, looking at the map, "there are still hundreds of millions of low-level demons on the island! Those are all newly converted civilians; there are too many of them, and the wormhole's carrying capacity is limited. It simply can't transport them all in one go!"

"If we can't finish shipping it all, we won't ship it!"

Morgana stated unequivocally, "Only the elite will be deployed!"

"Those low-level trash, those scum who only know how to bite, stay there!"

Atai froze: "But Queen, if that happens, they'll be... by that Astartes..."

"That's their fate!"

Morgana's eyes revealed a pragmatic coldness. "For demons, weakness is the original sin. The people of that island nation were originally a bunch of inferior products. It's already a pleasant surprise that tens of thousands of elites could be transformed."

"The rest are just cannon fodder, expendable resources. Let's leave them for that tin can."

She sat back on her throne, crossed her legs, and said, "Let him kill to his heart's content. We can use those good-for-nothings' lives to slow him down and buy us time to retreat. Execute the order!"

"yes!"

……

Above the island nation, space was violently distorted.

Giant wormholes opened up throughout the city, appearing precisely next to those strong and fierce "elite" soldiers.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Tens of thousands of elite demons had no time to enjoy the carnage before they were sucked into the wormhole and vanished without a trace. The battlefield was instantly empty.

Lu Xiao stopped and looked at the closed wormhole.

"They escaped?"

He scoffed, "Morgana, you truly are a coward devoid of any sense of honor. Abandoning the weak and taking only valuable tools. This is the behavior of a demon."

Looking down and around, although the elite troops had fled, the land was still teeming with hundreds of millions of monsters.

Those abandoned low-ranking demons were gnawing on corpses and tearing each other apart, retaining the greedy and twisted faces they had in life. Even after becoming demons, this quality remained etched into their very bones.

In the tactical field of vision, red dots densely cover the island. They represent hundreds of millions of lives, and also hundreds of millions of filth.

"Survivors?"

Lu Xiao's gaze swept over a building, where several trembling humans hid behind the curtains.

But in Lu Xiao's eyes, their souls had already been corrupted by Morgana. On this land covered in a high concentration of the virus, there were no innocent victims. Even if they hadn't mutated now, they would have mutated in the next second.

"To the emperor's enemies, mercy is the greatest cruelty. To the corrupted land, destruction is the only salvation."

Lu Xiao took another step.

Click. The shoulder compartment cover of the Terminator armor popped open, and the system resupply was completed instantly.

Unlimited ammunition. This is the system's most generous gift, and also its deepest "care" for the island nation.

"Let's get to work."

Lu Xiao said calmly.

boom!

The nth wave of twelve miniature nuclear fusion missiles roared out in a fan shape, covering three city blocks ahead.

A flash of white light, followed by an explosion that swallowed the clamor. Tens of thousands of low-level demons instantly vaporized.

Lu Xiao did not stop.

shhhhhhhh

Missiles rained down, mushroom clouds rose every second, and thousands of demons turned to ashes.

Lu Xiao remained unhurried, stepping steadily onto the scorching, vitreous ground. He casually swung his power axe, cleaving the stragglers into pieces.

"You are animals."

Seeing a young demon pounce on him, he didn't hesitate at all and stomped it into a bloody pulp.

"It mutated, it became an alien. To keep it alive is to desecrate humanity. So be it, kill it."
