What a despair-inducing sight it was.
Kinetic bullets could not harm the Holy Adjudicators in their protective gear, yet a mere gesture from them tore through the Peacekeeping Forces' defensive line as though it were made of paper.
How could the combat capabilities of second-stage psionic energy be described?
The combat armor worn by the Peacekeeping Forces was torn apart as easily as ordinary cotton. Frost and flames intertwined, dark clouds shrouded even the sky, and lightning blasted through the high walls the Peacekeeping Forces had painstakingly built. Bullets could advance no farther, as if blocked by an invisible wall.
The second stage of psionic energy... in terms of raw power, it could only crush an aluminum can. But this invisible force required no medium, so its applications were endless.
When this footage reached the Peacekeeping Forces' headquarters, everyone's expressions became quite a sight.
They had long considered that Psionics might play an important role in actual battles, but they had never expected that role to change the nature of every battle from then on.
Most of the Peacekeeping Forces' research into psionic energy came from the Federation. Even the Alt Corporation's research was ahead of theirs.
This was no longer merely a question of how to deal with the Void Realm Church. If their research into Psionics continued to lag behind, the very purpose of the Peacekeeping Forces' existence would be challenged.
