P.S. Something awful happened yesterday, and I felt terrible. I didn't even have time to ask for a day off. Sigh~~ I owe everyone an update; I'll make it up with a burst of chapters when I can. Demon God is getting harder and harder to write as it reaches its later stages. Sixue needs to account for all the loose ends from earlier, and with work on top of that, updates have been a little slow. I'm truly sorry, everyone!
On the far side of the vast, empty starfield, darkness gathered. Light was gathering too.
Warships no bigger than thumbs, gleaming with a mysterious sheen, emerged from the void. They came in dense swarms, like bees pouring from a hive.
"First escort formation, second escort formation, third escort formation—spread out!"
At the center of the fleet, a grand, mechanical voice rang out from a fist-sized, saucer-shaped craft.
Boom!
At its command, the densely packed fleet split into three groups and surged in three directions. Each warship steered well clear of the others, scattering the once-massive fleet across the starfield.
A moment later, as though they had received another order, the warships abruptly expanded. They grew out of empty space until terrifying, seemingly invincible vessels tens or even hundreds of thousands of meters long blazed into view, their might bearing down on everything.
Every warship bristled with weapons that radiated strange colors. The weapons seemed alive. Some twisted and writhed on their own, while others extended and rotated, apparently searching for targets.
A few of the warships carried an enormous main cannon nearly a kilometer long.
This was the Rune World's famed Rune Main Cannon. Legend held that a single shot could destroy an ordinary World Lord, while a combined barrage from several warships could overwhelm even a World Lord
