In Starry Sky tranquil universe, death becomes silent.

Over 100,000 space warships clashed fiercely outside Planet Amethyst, depicting a magnificent and vast war scene.

Brilliant beams of energy of various colors pierced through the boundless space against the backdrop of darkness, crisscrossing and silently carrying the chilling killing intent unique to interstellar warfare. Ship after ship had its outer armor pierced, turning into fireworks blooming in the universe.

On this brutal battlefield, a chaotic maelstrom of interlocking blades and a veritable furnace of death, over a hundred Demigod, like tigers and leopards fighting among sheep, darted back and forth through the fleet, fiercely battling amidst a rain of energy rays.

Whenever these Demigod pass by, both enemy and friendly spaceships will scramble to evade them amidst the captain's desperate screams.

Those unlucky souls who couldn't dodge in time would often be reduced to scrap metal and minced meat in an instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Despite being besieged by three High-Rank Demigod, the Moon Breaker Maxwell forcefully pierced through more than a dozen warships of the Saila Empire, leaving behind a series of hideous and twisted holes in the steel along the way. The combat personnel inside the warships were silently turned into dust by the powerful shockwaves accompanying the attack, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.

However, Maxwell, who brought about this victory, felt no joy, only Endless gloom.

There are too many enemies!

A total of 120 Demigod experts, nearly three times the number of Demigod mobilized by the Crimson Alliance.

In terms of the fleet, after two reinforcements, it far surpasses the Alliance in both quality and quantity.

In addition, there is mecha technology.

The Saila Empire's knight mechs far surpass those of the Crimson Alliance in both cost-effectiveness and production volume.

After all, it is an empire that occupies an entire high-magic planet. Although Planet Saila is the worst in terms of environment and resources among the five high-magic planets, far inferior to Planet Oklo, it is far superior to the Crimson Continent if compared only.

In conclusion, this was a contest between nations with vastly different strengths.

If it were the Crimson Alliance at its peak, they could barely put up a fight, but now...

"There will be a chance. The old man has never lied to me. There will definitely be a turning point. Hang in there, just hold on..."

Maxwell gritted his teeth, several energy vortexes swirling around his body, pulverizing the attacks of the High-Rank Demigod surrounding him. His powerful physique was like an iron block, rampaging through the enemy ranks. Despite being the one being besieged, he had seized the initiative in the battle, causing the High-Rank Demigod from the Saila Empire to frown repeatedly, feeling they had lost face. So they all unleashed their most powerful techniques, taking turns attacking Maxwell.

On the other side of the battlefield, Mechanical Bishop Belotti commanded his mechanical troops, fighting against the siege of several Demigod. He also released a blue-gold domain, which enhanced the mechanical troops amidst lightning and thunder, greatly increasing the performance of hundreds of thousands of mechanical warriors. They released a series of focused beams of energy, blasting open clusters of dark blue chain-like explosive energy balls.

On large-scale battlefields, the role of mechanical Transcendent has been dramatically amplified. Since the start of the war, Belotti alone has destroyed more than three thousand spaceships, achieving brilliant results.

After the battlefield commanders of the Saila Empire noticed this, they continuously reinforced their troops and deployed forces to join the siege of Belotti, intending to take down this troublesome Mechanics first.

In the battle to defend Planet Amethyst, three of the Pillar of the Nation of the Crimson Alliance have arrived.

Besides Moon Breaker Maxwell and Mechanical Bishop Belotti, there is also Star Vein Eusius, a Peak Demigod Sublimation School Ability Energy.

In contrast to the one-on-one battles of Maxwell and Belotti, Eusius's side had gathered all the remaining Demigod of the Crimson Alliance.

The term ' Star Vein ' refers to someone who controls the energy channels of the stars.

Eusius's Ability Energy is called "Star Gathering Technique".

This is an all-around Ability Energy; it can condense a sword of stars to attack, or transform into a sea of Astral Spirits to control enemies.

At the same time, the "Star Gathering Technique" can also transform other Transcendent beings into stars and incorporate them into the magic circle, unifying chaotic forces into one.

It was precisely because of this move that the Crimson Alliance was able to avoid being crushed despite such a huge disadvantage and Miracle persevered.

However, the oppression of the "Star Gathering Technique" on Eusius grew stronger over time.

Eusius's once magnificent and neat Mage robes had long since turned into strips, hanging unceremoniously on his bare upper body.

Blood trickled down from the corner of his eye, his skin cracked, and the Magical Energy circuits engraved in his body collapsed one by one. Eusius had reached his limit; he was about to give up.

Upon realizing this, the Demigod of the Saila Empire were greatly encouraged and increased their power output.

Meanwhile, the Demigod of the Crimson Alliance felt their hearts sink to the bottom, sensing the overwhelming and resolute killing intent of their enemies. Despair, like a heavy fog, pressed down on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

The initial passion began to cool under the chilling silence of death, and the fighting spirit of some Demigod began to waver.

They shouldn't have participated in the Planet Amethyst Battle...

Some Demigod couldn't help but have this thought, and some even started thinking about how to escape.

Even Demigod, high above all others, can become deserters one day. This was something they had never imagined before. They always thought that death was nothing serious, but only by facing death directly could they feel that profound terror that penetrated their very souls.

Eusius noticed the psychological shift among some of his Demigod, and his heart sank.

The experienced Eusius understood perfectly what the appearance of deserters meant.

One deserter will take ten with him, ten will take a hundred, a hundred will take a thousand... At this point, the image of the enemy, which was not so strong to begin with, will expand Infinity in the deserters' minds, becoming a ferocious, terrifying, and invincible demon. If someone then proposes a counterattack, in the eyes of the other deserters, that person is deliberately courting death. These deserters will display a cruelty and terror they have never shown on the battlefield, tearing the person who proposed the counterattack apart alive...

This is a real battlefield, a clash of blood and fire, an ultimate test of morality and will. Any retreat or cowardice must be nipped in the bud.

Then Eusius roared menacingly, "Don't overthink it! They won't let you go. Ask yourselves honestly, would you let go of the chance to annihilate the enemy?"

These words, coupled with a strong mental fluctuation, acted like a shot of adrenaline, invigorating the Demigod within the magic circle.

Yes, running is useless; how could you possibly escape?

Eusius, despite his injuries, hasn't retreated an inch. If we back down, would we be doing justice to the Alliance's investment of their talent?

Those Demigod who had considered fleeing felt even more guilty and quickly suppressed their inner turmoil, gritting their teeth and persevering.

Looking at the Demigod who had been temporarily appeased, Eusius's face was grim, but his despair grew stronger. If things continued like this, the entire army would surely be wiped out.

Alternatively, he could use his life to activate the spatial magic array, teleporting all the Demigod back to the Crimson Continent, but that would mean abandoning the entire Alliance's space fleet...

Whew! Whew! Whew!

A fierce energy storm swept over Eusius's body, chilling and deadly. His blood was rapidly cooling, and the Magic Power energy within every cell was being squeezed out. His body was already pushed to its limit...

"It seems there's no other choice..."

With his eyelids slightly closed, Eusius was about to use his final trump card: abandoning the Alliance fleet.

At that moment, space fluctuated violently, and a huge vortex appeared above the battlefield, attracting the attention of all the Demigod.

Under the watchful eyes of all, golden light flowed down in a mighty torrent, eventually transforming into a giant golden bird that roared proudly through the Starry Sky.
