A few hours later;
A battle report was transmitted to every corner of human society.
[Nineteen King Beasts besieged Fortress No. 76 in the Ancient Basin of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone. Black Storm died of exhaustion while defending Human Civilization.]
Several battle videos were distributed alongside the report.
—Videos carefully selected and edited by the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.
The first video vividly conveyed the overwhelming pressure of the Blade Beasts besieging the fortress.
It began with an aerial view:
A terrifying colossal beast swam beneath the sea of sand, the bamboo-joint-like exoskeleton on its back glinting with black light. Shells, rocket launchers, and missiles bombarded it from every direction, yet they left only faint scorch marks on its body.
Then the radar display flashed past. Behind the colossal beast were countless dense red dots—the Blade Beast Swarm it led.
After that, the image pulled upward, bringing fifteen King-Class Blade Beasts tunneling through the sand into frame at once.
A holographic map of the entire human front flashed by, with raging flames burning everywhere.
Background audio began to play: Wang Jixuan's earlier speech declaring war on the Blade Beasts—minus the profanity.
A red circle appeared in the middle of the screen.
The camera zoomed downward. Within that red circle was a figure clad in full-coverage armor, quietly floating in the air with a lightning-wreathed spear in hand.
A note appeared in the corner of the screen:
[Black Storm possesses strength beyond the reach of Psionicists and Spiritual Practitioners.]
The camera continued descending before finally locking onto the space above Black Storm's head.
Black Storm suddenly moved.
With spear in hand, he charged forward without hesitation, streaking across the sky like a meteor toward one of the colossal beasts.
Human firepower erupted in full!
