The Undead Legion Showed Its Might Again

Ripples spread across the dark matter belt surrounding the N7 Galaxy as Lister's fleet pierced the galaxy's border defenses like a sharp blade.

This star system, known as the "Hive Corridor," is filled with miniature probe stations, which are currently frantically transmitting alarm signals back to the main star system.

"Space wrinkling reaction detected!"

Sariel's voice echoed in the flagship's command center, and hundreds of red dots suddenly exploded on the holographic star map.

Behind those previously hidden asteroid belts, void fortresses made of rhomboid crystals have emerged—the unique defensive works of the Void Corridor faction.

Lister's fingertips traced the projection, Killing Intent Wave instantly enveloped the entire army via the mental network.

"Proceed in three routes as originally planned."

The first battleground erupted in the Gamma-331 Star Region.

The vanguard fleet of the Mechanical Civilization suddenly emerged from the warp tunnel, and the phase cannon modified by Kavin tore through the void barrier, blasting the three rhomboid fortresses into crystal fragments.

But those fragments reassembled in the vacuum, transforming into countless tiny crystalline creatures that rushed towards the fleet.

On the battlefield, before the afterglow of the Mechanical Civilization's phase cannons had faded, the reconstituted crystalline beings suddenly came to a standstill.

A high-frequency tremor came from the depths of the void, and countless rhomboid crystals emerged from the subspace rift, instantly forming a crystalline Great Wall spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

"As expected, they were prepared."

Lister's Shadowless Blade hummed softly in its sheath.

He never underestimated the information-gathering capabilities of the Void Corridor.

He would naturally not let this battle plan go unchecked.

In the holographic image, the right flank of the Seventh Army Group, led by Sariel, was already embroiled in a fierce battle.

Fragments continuously peeled off the surface of those crystal walls, and each fragment that landed transformed into a void warrior wielding a light blade.

Even more deadly, these warriors could penetrate the warship's armor directly through phase jumps.

Sure enough, when it comes to the vast universe, especially to such a super-powerful force...

Combat will ultimately come down to individual strength.

The players remained completely unfazed by the invasion of their warships.

"War God of Jiangling Prefecture" had already gathered players to fight inside the warship, and the main force had already jumped out of the warship to engage in direct confrontation.

What might be a dangerous battle for others is, in the eyes of players, a brand new experience pack for the new version.

This feeling of starting with a major battle, especially a battle between cosmic forces, is exactly what many players want.

The warriors stationed by the Void Corridor in the N7 Galaxy are not of high rank, mainly between rank 16 and 18, with an average combat strength of around D level.

As for the allied forces affiliated with the N7 Galaxy, their ranks are even more complex, ranging from rank 14 to 22, and their combat strength varies greatly.

In comparison, although the players' ranks are somewhat lower, their combat power is not inferior.

Especially in their unique coordination, even when separated from the warship, they can quickly form familiar squads to attack.

For a time, the two sides fought back and forth.

"Damn, are these guys really that hard to beat?"

A heavily armed soldier is currently under pressure on the front lines of the battlefield.

Pure tanks, or shield warriors, have long since disappeared from the market.

Even if a squad is short of front-line tanks, it will prioritize heavy armor warriors, who are both tanky and damage dealers.

"Gong Lao'er! Are you ready?"

"I can't hold on much longer."

At the back of the group, a green fluorescent light enveloped him.

The team's healers were replenishing his health.

However, he was not facing an ordinary void warrior made of crystals.

Not far away, a member of the Void Clan with an inscrutable appearance had already set his sights on him.

The soldier immediately shared the information detected by the system within the channel.

[Target: Laksh (Void Clan)]

[Level: LV174]

[Class: Seiya Mage (Magic)]

[Health Points: 1251209/1251209]

[Strength: 413417/413417]

[Attributes: Strength: 170, Stamina: 169, Intelligence: 274, Agility: 225]

[Skill:...]

[Overall Rating: Grade A]

The space around the heavily armored warrior suddenly began to fluctuate.

The entire space seemed to have been softened.

He probed with a single elbow strike, only to find that the space fluctuated with his movements, as if it were imprisoned.

His body moved swiftly through the space, quickly passing through the front line of battle with the Void Warriors, and arrived in front of the Void Race.

The space immediately began to shrink and harden.

The space transforms into a special rhombus-shaped area, where a rhombus-shaped energy crystal appears before the player.

Notification: You have discovered the Void Crystal.

[Void Crystal (Rank B): This is a natural ability of the Void Clan, capable of condensing a special energy crystal of the Void Clan and implanting it into other life forms to enslave and control them. (Note: The intensity and duration of control depend primarily on the difference in strength between the two parties and the strength of their souls.)]

"Damn it, is this some kind of attempt to enslave me?!"

Seeing the crystal flying towards his forehead, the warrior couldn't help but curse angrily.

This was the first time he had encountered such an opponent in all the games he had played.

The feeling of being about to be controlled and enslaved by the other party was, in particular, an insult to him.

The soldier only breathed a sigh of relief after the crystal had entered his brain.

Nothing more, all consciousness was present, and the system also popped up an announcement.

"Notice: Due to special regulations, control over the Void Crystal is invalid."

The Void Crystal in his mind was ejected perfectly intact in the next instant.

This relieved the soldier; he could accept his death, and at worst, he could be resurrected.

But he couldn't bear the shame of being enslaved by the other party, the feeling of being controlled by a monster!

The orthodox mage of the Void Clan before him also had a strange expression on his face.

As if they had seen something filthy, how could a mere 15th-tier trash like them withstand the innate abilities of the Void Clan?

The intact Void Crystal was ejected by the opponent, as if it had touched a special rule.

In the eyes of this Void Mage, everything at that moment was utterly perplexing.

Suddenly, a sharp red blade of light slashed from afar.

With an indescribable aura of power, domineering and sharp, it swept across the space around the heavily armored warrior.

Instantly, the solidified crystalline space was severed in half by a single stroke.

"Captain of the God of War?"

The man turned his head and saw that the person who had drawn the knife was the captain of his own warship.

The current top player on the server, and a renowned swordsmanship master in God's Rise Games – "War God of Jiangling Prefecture"!

"Let me handle this; you go help out in the back."

Having said that, the "War God of Jiangling Prefecture" twirled his sword.

While looking stylish, the way he holds the knife and the direction he strikes it have also undergone new changes.

Get up close to this high-ranking mage.

Even with the difference in rank, with S-level combat power, especially with the enhancement of several passive abilities, the War God of Jiangling Prefecture's Merrick Saber Technique was just like that of a true God of War.

On this frontline battlefield, they moved as if they were in an empty field.

With a single strike, he severed the opponent's staff and brought them to the brink of death.

Seeing that the opponent had activated the temporary chaos, the War God of Jiangling Prefecture was not surprised and slashed with his sword.

The Merrick Saber Technique, taught by Lister, was already an SS-level skill.

It comes with an uncounterable Super Armor effect and the characteristic of dealing some true damage.

The mere shield was utterly ineffective, and the Void Clan instantly perished on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, countless sword-wielding players on the battlefield are also shining brightly.

While the mage players behind them possess strong area-of-effect attacks, they can only reduce the enemy warriors' health, but often fail to kill them.

The truly dominant professions are actually the martial arts-based skill-based players and the mechanical-based players.

It's a skill that demands exceptional execution, and it boasts the advantage of true damage from Merrick Saber Technique.

They are graceful and powerful on the battlefield, but many players with poor skills also die.

However, the martial arts players who can appear on the enemy's battlefield, especially those specializing in swordsmanship, are all incredibly powerful.

The same applies to mechanical players, who endlessly summon mechanical creatures.

A brutal, unstoppable onslaught, more efficient than magic-based players, and equally fearless in close combat.

Meanwhile, at the command center of the Void Spirit Clan, a group of people were going in and out of the front-line command room.

The initial stages of the war will be temporarily led by Rhein and Damon.

At this moment, everyone's expression was extremely solemn in the face of this battle situation.

"How is this possible? Our Void Clan's Void Crystals can't control the opponent?"

When Rhein received the message from his people, his first reaction was disbelief.

Subconsciously, they assumed that the enemy's rank or combat strength far exceeded that clansman's expectations.

Only after a series of reports did he finally have to believe it.

In this initial test of the battlefield, neither side fully engaged in combat.

But for the Void Clan, a war of this magnitude should theoretically be unlikely to reach such a stalemate.

After all, their innate ability is to control and enslave. Unless the opponent's top combat power overwhelms them, the battle often goes more smoothly and their numbers increase as the fighting progresses.

Now, the soldiers sent by the other side are either life forms from Mechanical Civilization, puppets, or other special life forms, and only a very small number of them can be controlled and enslaved.

For a moment, Rhein found the situation extremely troublesome.

"It seems this Lister came prepared."

"There's another point, I wonder if Elder Rhein has noticed it?"

Damon was also keeping a close eye on the battle, observing the situation.

Although he is much younger than Rhein, Damon is indeed more composed in terms of personality.

"What?"

"Some of the enemy's soldiers are special."

Having said that, Rhein frowned again and stood up to stand beside Damon.

Even though he initially didn't think highly of Damon, the new elder, and didn't like him.

However, he had to admit that the other party was indeed better prepared and had observed things more meticulously than him.

Fortunately, he was in command this time, and so far, the Void Clan has not launched a large-scale attack, with losses remaining within an acceptable range.

What's so special about it?

Within the void projection, endless void warriors and players clashed continuously.

Void Warriors are not true, complete life forms; they are merely consumables created by the Void Clan through the combination of partially enslaved souls and stored energy crystals.

Commonly known as cannon fodder, they use their clan's mages as cover.

Even so, the Void Warriors still held a slight advantage in the overall battle.

Rhein did not notice anything special about it.

Instead, Damon waved his hand, and the projection screen instantly changed, dispersing into hundreds of parts.

Then several faces were categorized and separated.

Looking at it now, Rhein immediately realized something was wrong.

"How come they're all the same person?"

"Is it a mechanical android? Or can it be resurrected after being killed?"

"It's not a mechanical simulator; I've had it sensed, it's a real living being."

"They can be resurrected repeatedly after death, but their aura will be weaker than before."

"Occasionally, after killing an enemy, their aura would strengthen, showing rapid progress!"

The unique aspects of the players' combat style were not easily observed by Damon.

However, the very first test of combat has revealed something amiss.

"What's going on? An army of undead?"

Rhein finally realized, or rather, he had long considered this possibility but was unwilling to admit it.

The undead are an extremely special race in the universe, a minority Void Clan race.

Of course, most of the undead races are not strong in combat, which is where the Void Clan has an advantage.

However, in terms of lifespan, it is the other party's advantage.

Especially in terms of death, they are virtually impossible to kill.

And to be able to gather so many undead together and form a dedicated legion.

This is... simply unbelievable.

How much can an Undead Legion accomplish?

That creature has virtually no natural enemies!

"Damon, didn't you detect this intelligence when you were monitoring the Milky Way Galaxy?"

"It's mentioned in the information history of their galaxy!"

"But we've never actually found this legion. We initially thought it was fake intelligence, but unexpectedly..."

Damon couldn't help but regret it at that moment.

He had browsed through all the past information about the Milky Way Galaxy, and there was information about this particular military unit.

However, we hadn't actually observed it before; who knew the enemy would suddenly appear during this operation?

"It seems this Lister was holding back a trick up his sleeve!"

"Two Lord of World Annihilation, an Undead Legion!"

"This is troublesome!"

At this moment, Rhein's expression was extremely solemn, and for the first time, he began to feel the pressure of this operation.

At the same time, he began to resent Morris, wondering why he had to meddle in the affairs of the Milky Way Galaxy!

The secrets of the other star system were not transmitted back in time, instead causing such a big problem.

On the battlefield, players relentlessly charged forward, constantly respawning and rejoining the fray.

At first, the battle was somewhat suppressed, with the enemy on the back foot.

Fortunately, with the help of Kavin's mechanical army, the players were given a chance to catch their breath.

As you gradually kill enemies, your experience points increase, and the more you fight, the stronger you become.

The experience points lost upon death are generally greater than the experience points gained from killing enemies.

Top players and elite players, in particular, grow faster.

Both their level and combat power increased rapidly.

The War God of Jiangling Prefecture has already leveled up 3 times, and all his skills and passives have been maxed out, resulting in a rapid increase in combat power!

Lister in the command room was pleased to see this.

This time, Kavin, Hoffman, and others did not come to participate in leading the expedition.

His aim was twofold: to demonstrate the strength of his faction and, in turn, to indirectly help players level up.

This is also the key reason why he came in person this time.

Otherwise, he could wipe out these warriors with Killing Intent Wave.

Now it's used for training troops while also providing resources for players.

This also makes it easier for him to gain greater benefits from it!
