章 286: Chapter 286

The 'golden space cube' that was just thrown out is the crystallization of Teyvat's small universe, designed to protect the entire planet. A war is about to break out, and it may lead to the planet's destruction. Thus, it is necessary to protect the planet and the humans on it at the spatial level. To Esdeath, this planet is already part of the 'Teyvat Universe,' and she cannot allow it to be destroyed due to the impending battle, or else the entire plan will fail.

Buzz buzz.

Golden, soft light emanated from the 'World Gate,' and figures passed through the 'light film.' In a matter of seconds, hundreds of figures had arrived on the planet.

Esdeath, with her ice-blue, knee-length hair and dressed in white attire resembling a navy uniform, licked her lips. A substantial, ominous, and murderous aura radiated from her.

"Boros... the overlord of the universe who can destroy stars, I wonder if you can satisfy my desire for battle," she said with a cold laugh.

The ominous killing intent sent shivers down the spines of the 'Teyvat Army' behind her, even though the intent was not directed at them. Diluc wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and tightly gripped 'Wolf's Gravestone,' a weapon he had obtained from the 'Wolf King' after passing the trial.

As the weakest among the seven nations, Mondstadt had the responsibility of becoming a backbone. Otherwise, relying solely on the "Knights of Favonius" to compete in the "Teyvat Universe" was just a fantasy. Therefore, Diluc had to at least become a high-level god. Only by doing so would he have an advantage. He looked at his half-brother Kaeya, and then at the librarian Lisa. At the very least, Mondstadt would gain three lower gods this time.

Asmodeus spoke with a deadpan expression: "I have cast a space barrier over this planet. Once the power capacity reaches its peak, the space barrier will activate, allowing you to fight without worry." After saying that, he walked into the 'World Gate' coldly.

Esdeath smiled coldly. "Fight to your heart's content; that's exactly what I want," she said as she pulled the saber from her waist and pointed in the direction of City A. "The enemy is right in front of us, and it's time to make a contribution."

After becoming a 'Supreme God,' the aura of a general commanding millions of troops did not diminish; instead, it grew stronger. At this moment, the troops she commanded were no longer mortals, but at least quasi-gods.

"My soldiers, ravage them as you wish, hahahaha."

The general's commanding aura instantly boosted the morale of the 'Teyvat Army,' and they involuntarily became part of the 'collective.'

"Yes!"

Even though everyone present was proud and arrogant, they willingly followed the leadership of those whose strength, momentum, and purpose surpassed theirs.

"Go ahead."

Esdeath commanded, and the army of hundreds of gods behind her turned into meteors, rushing towards City A. Esdeath herself stepped on the air with her high heels, walking slowly towards City A while her aura gradually spread out.

Despite being the weakest among the 'Supreme Gods,' she was still at the 'surface level.' As her presence spread, the clouds in the sky quickly moved away. From space, it looked as if clouds were being pushed towards one end of the planet at incredible speed, creating a spectacular view where half of the planet had no clouds.

Above City A

A pitch-black space battleship, over twenty kilometers long and resembling an asteroid, slowly descended from the atmosphere, stopping ten kilometers above the ground. The entire city looked minuscule compared to the massive spaceship. People in the city were terrified, creating chaos and panic.

Inside the spaceship's operations room, an alien resembling a Japanese octopus asked, "Lord Boros, we have arrived at the city on this planet. Shall we send a large army to invade and plunder next?"

In the power room, a one-eyed alien resembling an emperor sat on the throne. He replied, "Destroy this city first and make a statement to the representatives of this planet." He had come to this remote planet because a fortune teller predicted that someone on this world could provide him with an exciting battle.

As the leader of the 'Dark Matter Army' that plundered the universe, Boros knew how to attract the planet's strongest representatives quickly.

"Yes, Lord Boros..."

"Prepare the entire ship to bombard the city below."

The order was just given when a dazzling purple light illuminated the entire bottom of the spaceship.

Buzz buzz—

The sound of the air shattering resounded instantly across the planet, and the purple light was more dazzling than the sun's rays.

Rumble, rumble—

The people looking up in horror at the spaceship were instantly blinded by the light. The entire city was enveloped in explosive brilliance, as clouds of evaporated moisture filled the sky.

Hero Association Headquarters

"What's going on?! What just happened outside?!"

[Retrieving surveillance footage.]

[It's an attack. The spaceship launched a city-wide attack!]

"What?! Was the entire city wiped out?!" Xiqi held his head in disbelief, unable to accept what had happened.

"The prophecy that the earth would end is actually happening now!"

The heroes' faces turned grim.

The third-ranked 'S-Class' hero, Silver Fang (Bang), had sharp eyes. "Was the entire city destroyed?"

The second-ranked 'S-Class' hero, Tatsumaki, crossed her arms, her voice cold. "Stop talking and go out to take a look already!"

[No... The city wasn't destroyed. It was protected by a golden barrier! Is it some unknown technology or someone with powerful superpowers?]

"What?"

The S-Class heroes, who were about to head out, stopped in their tracks and looked at the projector screen. A golden barrier covered the city, blocking the attack from the spaceship. Except for the shaking of the ground, everything else in the city was unharmed.

"What... what's happening?" Xiqi's eyes widened.

[Look! The spaceship is under attack! Someone is attacking the spaceship. Wait, it's not just one person, it's a group of people. They flew over from outside City A like meteors and are attacking the spaceship!]

[Their attacks are so powerful! They have to be S-Class heroes! There are so many S-Class heroes!]

An excited and shocked voice came from the intercom, leaving the S-Class heroes in the conference room stunned. Tatsumaki's eyes also widened as she watched the projection screen.

The surveillance footage showed unknown figures flying through the sky, attacking the spaceship. The destructive power of their attacks was tremendous, comparable to Tatsumaki's own superpowers.

Tatsumaki, her eyes full of curiosity, muttered, "What?! Those strange abilities... are they superpowers? So many S-Class superpowers?"
