This Stellar Warrior legion looked powerful, but in reality, it had no cohesion whatsoever.
In a favorable battle, that was one thing; they would naturally grow braver as they fought.
But in an unfavorable battle, especially one that began at a disadvantage, all sorts of selfish thoughts would arise within the legion.
Jiang Ming had not expected that the legion would show signs of collapse the moment he made his move.
Squads on the outskirts of the legion had already broken away and fled into the distance.
Stellar Warriors possessed powerful senses. Even from the center of the legion, they could see what was happening at its edges.
At the sight of this, morale within the legion began to waver violently.
"How could this happen?"
Brolyn, who was inside the safe house, was observing the situation outside through an exterior simulation. When he saw Jiang Ming evade the nine laser attacks, he could no longer remain seated.
A legion forcibly gathered without professional training was nothing more than a rabble.
Jiang Ming understood this principle, and Brolyn naturally understood it as well.
He had never relied on these people. His only expectation was that they would distract God and create a greater commotion.
But he had not expected his greatest card to have no effect at all.
"How could this happen? C-grade laser guns require almost no charging time. Even Universe-level Experts can only rely on instinct or observe the muzzles beforehand to dodge.
How did God evade them so easily?"
Brolyn could accept that laser guns posed little threat to Jiang Ming. After all, it was perfectly normal for a genius like God to be harder to kill than a Universe-level Expert.
But he could not accept God dodging them without suffering so much as a scratch!
As long as he was injured! As long as he bled!
Even if it was only an insignificant wound!
It would still shatter God's invincible image and destroy the impression he had left in everyone's hearts!
No matter how powerful God was, he was still Stellar level. His Origin Power was limited, and so was his stamina. The stronger the attack, the greater the consumption.
As long as he showed even the slightest sign of decline, others would see hope.
Then Brolyn could have the team he had arranged long ago blanket the area with artillery fire, force God away from the entrance to the World within a World, and people would naturally dare to charge into the entrance themselves.
Rumble, rumble~
At that moment, several thousand people within the legion simultaneously took out all kinds of energy weapons and launched a saturated barrage at the entrance to the World within a World.
Dense beams of energy bombarded Jiang Ming's position in unison, yet Jiang Ming showed no intention of dodging these attacks!
He remained where he was.
After one round of bombardment, the energy weapons entered cooldown. Everyone could clearly see that Jiang Ming had not left his original spot when those energy beams arrived.
Faced with such a dense carpet bombing of energy attacks, even a Universe-level Expert wearing a third-order Origin Power Battle Suit would frown and evade, let alone someone at Stellar level.
As the dust from the bombardment dispersed, searing heat spread outward from the entrance to the World within a World.
A terrifying figure emerged from the smoke and dust.
The golden-red Origin Power Battle Suit had become tattered, with large portions melted away.
Beneath the battle suit's cover, golden-white Sun God Marks shone across his body, while the ground beneath his feet gradually melted into a pool of magma.
Forcing him to hover in the air.
The damaged, melted remnants of the golden red armor hung from Jiang Ming's body, yet they did not make him seem the least bit bedraggled.
Instead, they only added several degrees of savage terror to him!
Feeling the surging heat within his body, the golden-white flames inside Jiang Ming were gradually transforming toward pure white.
Jiang Ming even had the illusion that he could not contain the heat inside him, as though a true star existed within his body.
Providing him with endless power.
I didn't expect that Shine Upon All in merely its second form could reach this level.
Jiang Ming had not dared to take those nine laser attacks head-on earlier. The energy they contained was too vast, so he could only evade.
But these energy attacks, at most B9-grade, or Stellar level ninth stage, were easy for Jiang Ming to handle.
After seeing the legion form a barrage of artillery fire, Jiang Ming had suddenly wanted to test something.
The result surprised him somewhat. Those dense energy beams were like one charge after another to Jiang Ming, continuously increasing the power within his body.
Though Jiang Ming had not actually endured the process so easily. When the immense energy poured into him, he had also suffered injuries.
But those injuries healed again in an instant.
"It seems you've exhausted all your methods."
There was a faint note of regret in Jiang Ming's low voice, as if he found it a pity.
"In that case, it's my turn."
The moment Jiang Ming's voice fell, light shone from within his body.
It was as if a true star were hidden within him, suspended in the sky.
The light descended, Shine Upon All!
The bodies of every Stellar Warrior present gradually began to melt. The blazing, terrifying heat rapidly consumed their Origin Power and burned their flesh.
The first parts to melt were the eyes of those staring directly at him. The instant every Stellar Warrior present looked at that figure, their eyes dissolved.
It was as if they were gazing directly upon a terrifying existence that could not be profaned.
Sensing the terrifying transformation in Jiang Ming, the already teetering morale and fighting spirit completely crumbled.
"Run! Run! That's not human! That absolutely can't be human!"
"Is he really God? What kind of existence are we even fighting?"
"Help! Save me! Take me away!"
The collapsing battlefield was thrown into chaos, and countless wails rang in Jiang Ming's ears.
Jiang Ming was not moved in the slightest by those cries.
He was like an exquisitely carved marble statue, calm and indifferent.
Jiang Ming coldly watched the warriors struggle in agony beneath his radiance, his heart entirely untouched.
The scene before him was merely a microcosm of the universe's cruel side. Things even more brutal and horrifying happened every moment.
Bathed in the light, all the warriors fled desperately and frantically. Fortunately, that terrifying figure merely hung high in the sky, guarding the entrance to the World within a World without showing any sign of moving.
This allowed most Stellar Warriors to escape.
But after escaping, they began using Origin Power to restore their melted bodies. Only then did they discover that recovery was incredibly slow. They first had to gradually eliminate the foreign energy lingering within their bodies before they could heal.
"It's over."
The divine marks on Jiang Ming's body disappeared. He tapped several times on the Personal Light Brain at his wrist, and the sentry robots in the mountains began to move, clearing the battlefield.
The materials used in different parts of the Second-order Origin Power Battle Suit were not all the same. Critical sections contained third-order materials, which also ensured that Jiang Ming's intelligent light brain remained unaffected.
"Hm, Teacher is looking for me?"
