On the first line of defenses, twenty-four Chakra Rapid-Fire Cannons opened fire at once.
The Amplification Matrices lining their barrels overloaded on the spot, unleashing a blinding blue light.
Twenty-four beams tore through the night sky and joined into a Reaper Light Wall, sweeping across the Allied Forces' first three ranks like a scythe through wheat.
The Iwagakure heavy infantry in the front rank did not even have time to form Hand Seals. Their heavy armor vaporized in the heat as if it were made of paper.
Those caught in the beams could not even scream. Their bodies turned to white mist in the blue light.
Three seconds.
Of the Vanguard Battalion's two thousand soldiers, four hundred had vanished.
And it was not over.
At the rear of the First Warzone, three hundred Heavy Chakra Supercannons roared in unison!
The Yamato Cannon Engine's Prototype Auxiliary Cannons spat out three purple beams as thick as barrels!
The snowy night lit up like noon in the height of summer.
The purple light plowed savagely across the frozen ground.
The snow, the rocks, and the thousands of Allied Forces soldiers charging at the front were erased from existence without a trace.
No severed limbs. No screams. Nothing.
This was annihilation on another level.
After the beams swept past, three glassy trenches remained on the battlefield, each ten meters wide and too deep to see the bottom.
The soil along their edges had been baked into transparent crystal by the extreme heat. It was still hissing and giving off white smoke.
Ōnoki hovered in midair, his old bones stiff as stone.
What the hell was that?!
An army of a hundred thousand had not even touched the Konoha Main Barrier, and three thousand vanguard troops were gone in the first clash?!
