Supreme speed brought supreme pressure! The air was compressed at high speed, forming a visible white shock cone!
The piercing sonic boom was like the shriek of the God of Death. Before the lightning reached them, it had already slammed into the fortress's lower armor, eliciting a teeth-grinding metallic groan! The lights in the command room flickered violently, and the alarms began to scream shrilly!
Too fast! So fast that even thought seemed frozen! So fast that even the warning talismans Neji had set around the fortress only emitted their piercing buzz an instant before the attack was launched!

The terrifying impact was like colliding stars!
The first crystal wall was instantly covered
