Last Struggles

It was clear that the time-slowing effect of the Bhasa Time Realm had not had a minor impact on the two Serpent Demon Overlords. At the very least, under these circumstances, several Song Family warships had successfully held them back.

The Sky Ruins Firmament held one of them off by itself, while the Calm Sea Ascending Dragon, together with several battleships, held back the other.

Inside the Sky Ruins Firmament's main control room, Song Chi, its captain, was far less flustered than outsiders imagined. His expression was calm, without the slightest sign of pressure.

With the Sky Ruins Firmament's current configuration, facing a Rank 7 Overlord head-on was not difficult. If he were willing to pay an excessive price, he could even kill one directly.

The reason he had not done so was not only because, with the Market Projection Token unusable directly, the cost of achieving that would be far too great. More importantly, as he had said before, he needed to avoid drawing the attention of Rank 8 Serpent Demon Overlords.

Not long ago, they had tested this with warship avatars. Even with five warship avatars going all out and Market Projections assisting them, they had still been utterly wiped out before a Rank 8 Serpent Demon.

Because of this, Song Chi understood perfectly well that if a Rank 8 Serpent Demon Overlord truly set its sights on them, the Song Family's fate would be miserable.

Song Chi's plan this time was simple: hold these two Serpent Demon Overlords back as long as possible and buy time for the family fleet below to retreat.

The idea was naturally reasonable, but reality was cruel.

In less than ten minutes, an earth-shattering reversal occurred on the distant high-intensity battlefield.

It was not simply that some Star Destroyer had been sunk.
