The fog over Snow Valley in Piyue City was dispersed by steam, and the Red Emperor's old troops from the previous century arrived at this fortress once again.
But what they faced was the New World's "Steel Fortress"!
"Prepare for battle."
Rustbone decisively gave the order. "Anyone bearing the Red Emperor's banner will be killed without mercy."
There was no suspense as to the outcome of this war. The only thing was that he had to face Golden Ape, the strongest warrior under the Red Emperor's command back then!
Two gazes met across a distance of a thousand meters.
Following the psychic sensation in his heart, Rustbone searched through the fog at the end of Snow Valley. He saw Golden Ape holding the banner high, but Golden Ape was not the one who truly made him feel "danger." There was a red-robed swordsman standing in front of Golden Ape, his sword tip pointed directly at Rustbone's position.
The Red Emperor?!
Before Rustbone could react, a massive, glaring warning symbol appeared on the Main Boat's screen!
A deafening boom rang out!
An incomparably vast surge of energy slammed into the Main Boat's protective barrier! The vessel immediately began to shake!
"Protect Zhou Jiren and Zhong Wei! Don't let them die!"
Rustbone turned back to give the order, then charged out of the Main Boat. He hovered high in the air, prepared to counter the Red Emperor's sword energy with the Bronze Sword—
But at that moment, time suddenly became very "slow"!
Rustbone saw a shadow dart out from behind him and come shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Bai Zhu...?!"
His pupils narrowed slightly, but he immediately realized that Bai Zhu in this restarted world had not yet refined the Fighting Fire Seed and become the Throne of God of Nagano.
