The vast hordes of Biochemical Beasts, skeleton legions, elemental creatures, and steel constructs that had long since gathered their strength surged forth like a breached flood.
They let out deafening roars and jostled to rush toward the deep, dark, circular tunnel entrance.
They were probing stones cast into an unknown world, as well as cannon fodder meant to drain the enemy's strength.
Seeing that most of the cannon fodder and wizards had already burrowed inside, Benjamin took a deep breath and stopped hesitating.
He controlled two towering Black Giants and followed closely behind the Vanguard Army's flood, plunging headfirst into the spatial gate that seemed capable of swallowing every ray of light.
The crossing proved far more difficult than expected.
Dionysius Spencer had already warned him that some powerful seal or suppressive force field seemed to exist on the other side, obstructing the spatial gate's full expansion.
He needed to control the Floating City's power to continuously resist and widen the passage, but during the initial stage, those who crossed first would probably encounter some "minor trouble."
Benjamin soon learned exactly what the so-called "minor trouble" was.
The instant he stepped into the passage, Benjamin felt powerful stickiness coming from every direction, as though he were walking through glue. Instead of the radiance of an ordinary spatial passage, the surroundings were filled with chaotic darkness and distorted energy currents.
These currents were mixed with shattered spatial fragments and alien energies, constantly battering the travelers within the spatial gate.
Bang!
Crack—...?
The dense energy currents struck the Black Giant's enormous body, producing all sorts of strange noises.
However, after more than thirty years of warfare, the Black Giant's Body Tempering Method had continuously undergone Adaptive Evolution, granting it extremely high resistance to spatial distortion damage related to the Wind Element.
Moreover,
