113: Attack Core Area

"Die!"

In the void, the sky-obscuring gale transformed into cyan chains, tightly binding the last SSS-Rank Star River Beast.

Sailos's true body and six clones flew forward simultaneously, and seven sword beams that pierced through heaven and earth slashed down under spatial acceleration, instantly piercing the thick skin of that massive monster.

Countless sword auras rampaged within its body, annihilating its internal organs and flesh.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After dozens of consecutive explosions, those sword auras broke out of the body simultaneously, and the flesh of that SSS-Rank Star River Beast instantly turned into fragments of meat, completely ceasing to breathe.

"Hey, I say Sailos, you really have to thank me properly this time. If I hadn't bound it, you wouldn't have been able to kill this guy."

The gale reconverged into human form, and Kols, with zero decorum, found a floating meteorite to lie on, repeatedly injecting himself with seven or eight needles of specialized recovery serum.

"No problem. After we get out, I will announce on my personal social media platform that you are the Class 3S Expert in the Star Alliance second only to me."

Sailos stood in place, face pale, his gaze fixed on the monster's flesh floating in the void, a mix of sorrow and joy.

The joy was that this monster had finally been killed by his own hands.

The sorrow was that the sacrificed Spear of the Sky legion would never return.

"Statue of Liberty, maintain vigilance. Set the detector to the highest level to prevent these monsters from taking advantage of the opportunity to ambush us."

Unlike the soldiers who were immersed in joy, Zhang Huaiyuan's expression grew increasingly cautious; the True Sight effect had almost never been turned off.

After all, in reality, those monsters had not been dealt with.

"Understood, Your Excellency. I have been maintaining vigilance; there are no powerful life fluctuations within a hundred million kilometers for the time being."

"Hmm, after the repairs are complete, we can truly advance toward the core zone. That SSS-Rank Star River Beast with special abilities shouldn't be very strong in terms of frontal combat power, but we cannot rule out the existence of other 3S-Class monsters. You will need to put in more effort; connect to the virtual reality environment in a timely manner and set up the battle."

Zhang Huaiyuan gave instructions one by one.

Ever since the Statue of Liberty integrated the "Miracle" algorithm, her abilities had become stronger and stronger, completely surpassing the level limit of this world.

The real-time virtual projection she upgraded was something even SSS-Class Strongest like Sailos and Kols could not distinguish as abnormal; various transcendent abilities were simulated almost indistinguishably from reality.

"It seems the optimal solution is still to develop technological levels..."

Zhang Huaiyuan sighed slightly.

If one had weapons of Rule Level 2 or higher, why bother caring what abilities the opponent had? Just nuke them directly!

There would be no need to be as troubled as now.

He shook his head, turned around, and returned to his room to continue learning new knowledge.

The sea of learning has no bounds; even the most gifted masters need sufficient accumulation and cannot waste any time.

...

Three days later.

With the support of various cutting-edge medical technologies, everyone's condition had returned to its peak level.

And unlike when they first arrived, the entire temporary legion was permeated with a joyful atmosphere.

"Hey, I killed a total of three monsters above A-Rank. I'll be able to get promoted at least one rank when I go back. From now on, when you all see me, you'll have to call me 'Sir'."

A soldier shouted excitedly.

"Damn it, I only killed one. Dammit, can we encounter some more scattered monsters? It's all the fault of the previous Spear of the Sky legion for cleaning up the outer perimeter too thoroughly."

"It's fine, at least we are all veterans who have taken down a Cataclysm-level Disaster Zone. When we go back to be instructors, we'll have plenty to brag about to those rookies!"

Everyone discussed it heatedly; even those who hadn't contributed much showed smiles because they could finally return.

"It's fortunate that the Statue of Liberty could take over the battle situation and achieve precise command for everyone; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to play this hand."

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head slightly as he looked at the state of the soldiers on the various starships.

This was actually extremely dangerous. If not for her powerful performance, even if she could offset part of that monster's abilities, such a state would be suicide when encountering the beast horde in the core zone.

Under this strange atmosphere, the entire fleet docked at the edge slowly advanced toward the core area.

More and more wrecks of Level 7 and even Level 8 starships appeared in the void.

However, the number of Galaxy Beasts was not large; it was possible that most had been dealt with by the Spear of the Sky legion during the previous great battle.

The sporadic few were also quietly sniped by cluster weapons controlled by the Statue of Liberty.

Soon, the fleet crossed the boundary where the War Fortress had fallen.

Almost simultaneously.

Rapid red lights flashed on the detector.

"Warning! A large number of unknown powerful lifeforms detected!"

"Warning! A large number of unknown powerful lifeforms detected!"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

A cyan-white light flashed by, and two figures appeared in the command room.

"We encountered some Galaxy Beasts in the outer perimeter that weren't cleaned up; you might need to take action."

Zhang Huaiyuan's expression remained unchanged as he explained.

"Easy, just leave it to us."

Hearing this, the two relaxed and laughed.

After experiencing the battle in the virtual reality environment, their favorability had greatly increased, and there was much less formality in their speech.

"Then I will trouble you both."

Zhang Huaiyuan responded while looking at the images fed back by the detector. A sky-obscuring powerful beast horde was approaching head-on. However, unlike the previous virtual illusions, these were all real.

All starships and interstellar weapons were firing at full power under the control of the Statue of Liberty, forming a dense web of fire.

However, under the influence of the damage reduction rules of the Cataclysm-level Disaster Zone, relying solely on technological weapons was clearly insufficient to deal with all of them.

Many monsters broke through the blockade and attacked the fleet.

Zhang Huaiyuan activated True Sight and scanned quickly; pieces of information were rapidly fed back into his mind.

S-Class... SS-Class... S-Class...

"Fortunately, no other SSS-Rank ones have been discovered for the time being."

Zhang Huaiyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and synchronized the ability defects and weaknesses of the S-Class and above monsters he saw in his mind to the Statue of Liberty to reduce her defensive pressure.

Meanwhile, the two 3S-Class Strongest also rushed to the battlefield.

Just like in the previous virtual reality environment, without Galaxy Beasts of the same level to block them, even SS-Class ones were vulnerable before them.

The cyan storm and the sword shadows filling the void were slaughtering the monsters as if chopping melons and vegetables.

The kill efficiency of just these two people far exceeded the firepower output of these 8 million starships; a casual aftermath from their attacks could completely annihilate a planet ten thousand miles away.

"It seems that if it weren't for the influence of that monster's ability earlier, this Disaster Zone should have been cleared long ago. The strength of Gods Chosen 3S-Class Transcendent is truly terrifying."

Watching their strength, Zhang Huaiyuan's confidence increased significantly.

"However, those SSS-Rank Star River Beasts should be unable to sit still."

Through True Sight, he could feel the "Fear Invasion" ability being urged with full force, but for the two people currently in an atmosphere of victory, the degree of influence was far less than before.

It was almost impossible to win by relying on the methods used previously.

Sure enough, after another moment, two low roars approached from the depths of the core.

The SSS-Rank Star River Beasts, watching their subordinates being slaughtered, finally couldn't sit still.

"Eh... these are two monsters not in the intelligence report... It looks like, counting that Fear-Eating Spirit, there are three in total."

Zhang Huaiyuan's expression grew serious, and he activated his ability simultaneously.

"Let me see what you are made of."
