Chapter 984: Destruction

All the Captain Rank Members and the Generals gave it their all to protect themselves from all attacks like that, but their barrier couldn't resist it.

Like a thin sheet of gla.s.s, the barrier shattered, not lasting even a second before this uncontrollable power.

Even Lucifer couldn't control this power inside his body. It was as if all his abilities had gone out of control. The decay also lost control, mixing in that uncontrollable attack.

The bodies of everyone who came in contact with that burst of energy wave were destroyed. Even the Generals couldn't protect themselves against this kind of Power. They just couldn't believe how a young man was able to possess this power.

Even the Shackles that were placed on him to stop him from using his powers were destroyed. This power was something out of this world.

At the same time, the teams on the other side of the portal also came to this world to check things, only to come straight before this uncontrollable beastly energy that destroyed them and the portal at the same time.

Within seconds, the entire team that was sent to this world was destroyed.

The s.h.i.+p lost contact with the people that went to search the world. All the s.h.i.+ps were giving warnings as a strange power was sensed.

The Vice Leaders of the s.h.i.+ps kept trying to establish contact with the people of the world, only to fail.

"Deploy s.h.i.+elds!"

All the s.h.i.+ps deployed their s.h.i.+elds. Even if this was an attack, they didn't believe it could destroy their defenses.

Lucifer's body floated in the air as he lost consciousness again. His screams finally stopped. The world around him was destroyed by the strange power, actually disintegrating.

The strange pulse of energy even reached the s.h.i.+ps, clas.h.i.+ng with the energy barriers around the s.h.i.+p.

"Sir, the barriers are on overload. They can't resist this attack for long!"

"How long can they last? We don't have an opportunity to retreat. If we managed to hold on, we might get through unscathed."

"How long? A few seconds at this rate..." The crew exclaimed as their faces went pale. It was the first time that they had seen an attack like that, which was like an uncontrollable force of nature that destroyed everything in its path.

"What?!" The Acting Commander of the s.h.i.+p exclaimed in shock. Just a few seconds? Even if another General Rank s.h.i.+p attacked them with full force, their barrier would've lasted longer. But this...?

He couldn't do anything anymore. They could only watch silently. It was too late to pull back.

As their last act, they could only send one message to the Headquarters... A message that they faced a powerful attack and they were all going to die. In the message, they told the Alliance to be careful."

Fortunately for Lucifer, these people didn't know that the attack was done by him. Since the Generals had underestimated him so much after arresting him, they didn't even tell the s.h.i.+ps above about Lucifer yet. They weren't in any hurry. The s.h.i.+ps had no idea who had attacked, even as their barriers broke.

The destructive energy hit all the s.h.i.+ps at the same time, destroying the s.h.i.+ps particle by particle, leaving nothing behind.

Within the next ten minutes, everything was finished. The world that had just appeared was gone, this time destroyed forever. The s.h.i.+ps that were there were also gone. Even their rubble wasn't left behind.

In the entire s.p.a.ce, only one person could be seen... A young man who was unconscious, floating in s.p.a.ce. Fortunately, his strange energy had started to calm down again.

"They were destroyed?"

The Star Alliance Headquarters was in chaos. This was news that they couldn't have expected, even in their dreams. An entire fleet consisting of Five Generals was destroyed with such ease?

"According to the report, only one attack was enough to destroy everyone! How could this be possible?" General Nimel stood up, shocked.

He had just arrived at the headquarters, only to get this news.

General Ostrin was also stunned. This level of strength? Was this truly someone from the Ancient Clan? But even if that were the case, how could that person be so strong? It was one thing to destroy the world of the Baltics, and it was an entirely different thing to destroy five General Rank s.h.i.+ps and kill the Generals. And the latter was much stronger.

Even the Queen's face was dark. This news was definitely not optimistic. They had lost one-third of their forces at once.

"Could this be a trap set up for us?" One of the Generals asked. "They lured us to a place where they had already set up a weapon of ma.s.s destruction, only to wait for us?"

"Yes, that makes more sense!" Another General agreed. "This can't be the strength of a person. This was definitely a treasure weapon that was used! We fell straight for the enemy's trap! Good thing we didn't send half our forces to this trap!"

"The Queen was very wise in dividing the teams!"

The Generals couldn't change the past. They could only be happy that some of their forces were saved.

"If it's really a treasure weapon, why didn't they use it on the Star Alliance headquarters or in the previous war? I think it should be an item that takes a lot of preparation and can't be used regularly. If I'm not wrong, that person waited for so long, preparing for this trap!"

"If I'm not wrong, he didn't destroy the world of Baltics and hid it. Then he started creating this trap for us. He wanted to make us lose as much of our strength as possible. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d waited for hundreds of years just for this one moment! That makes me think that this weapon can only be used once every hundred years."

"Agreed. If that wasn't the case, he could've used it a few more times in the last hundred years and destroyed the Star Alliance. That should be the case!"

The Generals tried to find reasons behind this long wait.

"It doesn't matter what he can do. What matters is what we can do. We have suffered heavy losses. Should we send another team there to investigate? I believe that guy would've already left that place by now."

The Queen agreed. "The chances are high, but we still need to see if we can find some clues to what happened there. General Ostrin, I'll have to ask you to go there and check. If you think it's risky, you can return. Don't engage with the enemy."

"Your Majesty." General Ostrin stood up respectfully. "I'll depart right away."

General Ostrin left. This kind of mission was dangerous, especially since he was the only one being sent to the place where five Generals had been killed, but he still felt that it was an excellent opportunity. He also wanted to know more about what happened there. And this just showed the Queen's trust in him.

General Ostrin left the Palace and went to his s.h.i.+p, which departed right away.

Meanwhile, the Queen left instructions to everyone else to be more careful when patrolling.

"Increase the defenses of the Headquarters and be careful. We might already be at war now! We can't afford to lose this war!"

****

Back inside the Domain of Nimel Clan, everyone was waiting for Lucifer to finish his meditation and come out so they could inform him about what had just happened.

Fortunately, none of them thought about disturbing Lucifer for now.

****

Lucifer's body floated in the vast emptiness of the s.p.a.ce. There was not even a speck of blood on his body. However, all his clothes had also burned. He was completely bare.

Despite being unconscious in s.p.a.ce, he still didn't have any problem in breathing. His breaths were constant and firm. Looking at him, it was impossible for anyone to find out if he was really unconscious or if he was just sleeping.

After floating in s.p.a.ce for two hours, Lucifer's eyes finally opened. He remembered everything he saw in those memories, along with a few glimpses of what happened when he was attacked by the Star Alliance.

He could also remember that terrifying pain. He glanced at his hands. Everything was just like before, but his strength... It was the same strength that he had borrowed to kill the King of the Baltics. If anything, it was even more powerful now.

With this strength in his body, he was sure that if his body were scanned again by the Star Alliance, this time, they were going to be completely sure that he was from the Ancient Clan.

"This strength is very powerful, but that burst of destructive energy..."

He didn't even know why that pulse of energy came out. It was as if he didn't have control of that power, and it came out on its own.

This power was strange, but it was also very powerful. It was the most destructive attack that he had ever seen.
