Sorry posted the wrong chapter!!!! The correct one is this!!
---------------------
Although he didn't fully grasp Belobog's military strength, with the Xianzhou joining the battle, let alone an Antimatter Legion from centuries ago— even a upgraded one would have to struggle.
Unless the forces of Destruction officially declared war on the Xianzhou.
Then the Hunt's Revenge would kick in again, boosting its power against Destruction.
Such small skirmishes didn't interest him in the slightest.
Most importantly, the Antimatter Legion was just that— an Antimatter Legion.
No one was leading them.
No loot to collect after wiping them out.
If he had free time, he'd rather take another nap.
-----------------------------
People are always afraid of natural disasters, yet they still chase after their traces.
...
"Supervisor Topaz, it has been 72 hours since we detected traces of the swarm. At their speed, they should be approaching the Jarilo region by now."
"Hmm, I know. Keep observing."
"Yes!"
"Oh, by the way, send the message to the Xianzhou Luofu—let them owe us a favor."
"Luofu has responded; they have received the message."
A massive spaceship hovered silently in space, its bow pointing straight at Jarilo. "Tsk, what exactly is on Jarilo that makes both the swarm and Luofu come one after another?"
Swirling her wine glass, Topaz's eyes were filled with doubt.
She couldn't quite understand why a planet with such a disastrous environment was so sought after, even to the extent that Xianzhou Luofu personally stepped in.
The swarm, especially, kept attacking relentlessly even after their vanguard was eliminated.
Well, the swarm's objective was easy to guess. A beautiful and habitable planet was an irresistible temptation for them.
"Forget it, I'll wait until the outcome of this battle is clear before making any plans."
Topaz's strategy was simple.
If Jarilo won, she would enter the planet to see what made it worth such a great effort.
If Jarilo was on the brink of defeat, she would step in, earning Luofu's gratitude while also collecting on this debt.
A win-win situation.
"Oh, right, there's also the threat from the frozen Antimatter Legion—trouble inside and out."
...
A storm was brewing, and tension filled the air.
With everything in place, they stood ready for battle.
Cocolia donned her armor and took to the battlefield. Bronya, still unaccustomed to a command role in the rear, was best suited as a front-line warrior, boosting morale by charging ahead.
As she gazed at the dark, surging mass approaching from afar, she took a deep breath.
"Even though the Beast Lord have not responded to us this time, we must defend Jarilo with our own actions!"
"Luofu will not retreat either. It has been a long time since we faced such a large-scale conflict with the Antimatter Legion."
Yanqing radiated an unstoppable fighting spirit—youthful and full of hope.
A swordsman's sharpness could not be contained.
"Lady Cocolia, all modified heavy artillery is in position, along with various weapons and equipment. The city walls have been reinforced and should withstand simultaneous attacks from thirty Stormbringers on a single front. The evacuation of civilians is complete, with the Silvermane Iron Guards providing protection." Pela reported meticulously. Despite the immense pressure, she had great confidence in their side.
The Belobog of today was no longer the trembling child struggling through the cold wave of the past.
They were strong now, with the most formidable support behind them.
She fully agreed with Lady Cocolia's words, "If we need to seek divine intervention for something this simple, then Belobog might as well have perished in the cold wave back then."
"Everyone, the enemy has arrived."
Yukong gazed ahead, her pilot's vision allowing her to clearly spot the tide of enemies surging forward.
These were the remnants of the Antimatter Legion, gathering on the other side of Jarilo.
Unsealed from underground, they had slowly amassed into a terrifying flood.
Cocolia's expression was grave as she stepped onto the city walls, raising her arm, ready to give the order to attack at any moment.
At this critical juncture, Yukong's jade communicator suddenly rang. She opened it and saw a message from the fleet stationed outside Jarilo.
"Lady Yukong, a massive wave of the swarm is heading toward Jarilo! We can only hold off a small portion—the rest have already broken through our defenses and are advancing on Jarilo!"
"What?!" Yukong's face changed instantly.
The threat of the Disaster swarm was on a completely different level compared to the remnants of the Antimatter Legion.
At the same time, one of the main reasons for her confidence was the fleet stationed outside, ready to strike inward from the starry sky at any moment.
"Luofu has already contacted us. Reinforcements have been dispatched. Lord Yukong, you and Lord Yanqing must be careful!"
The communication was cut off.
A fleet capable of clearing small swarms of insects was insignificant in the face of an overwhelming tide of them.
They could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
There was no point in rushing to Jarilo just to pick people up and escape.
It would be meaningless—an overwhelming swarm of insects would only rush to Jarilo at an even more terrifying speed, cutting off their retreat.
For now, retreat was the only correct course of action.
"Look at the sky!"
Just as the communication ended, Seele looked up and saw a scene that made her scalp tingle.
A rustling sound came from above. Ordinary people couldn't see it clearly, but those blessed with the power of destiny could.
It wasn't that the sky had darkened—it was a swarm of hideous, terrifying insects descending from above.
Their numbers were incomparable to the small clusters from before.
"This is trouble." Even Yanqing wore a serious expression as he gripped his sword tightly.
"Everyone, look over there!"
Just as they were contemplating their next move, Clara suddenly cried out in surprise and pointed into the distance.
Everyone looked over, and their spirits were instantly lifted.
In the distance, the Voidrangers of the Antimatter Legion pulled their bows, firing the arrows they formed at the insect swarm blanketing the sky!
The swarm changed direction, surging toward the Antimatter Legion!
It was well known that Voidrangers had no intelligence—they destroyed everything in their path!
The insect swarm, on the other hand, moved purely for propagation!
The screeches of the insects and the roars of the Voidrangers blended into the most exhilarating melody of the battlefield.
Yanqing gazed at the scene—so shocking it would remain in his mind for a whole year—and was momentarily speechless. After a while, he turned to Yukong, who was also in a daze.
"Lord Yukong, have you ever seen such a sight before?"
"I don't think... I have."
Yukong shook his head slightly, a helpless expression on his face.
No one could have expected that, despite both being threats to Jarilo, these two forces would start fighting each other first.
It was truly unexpected.
However, this development had bought Jarilo a sliver of opportunity.
When two tigers fight, both are bound to be wounded!
…
"Insects? Quite a commotion."
Lying on his gemstone bed, Godzilla slowly opened his eyes. His emotionless vertical pupils stared at the seemingly endless insect swarm, stretching like a sky curtain. Gradually, a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes, growing stronger and stronger.
He had allowed the Antimatter Legion to attack Belobog because they were insignificant threats. As long as they didn't provoke him and offered no benefits, he had no interest in them.
But the Disaster Swarm was different.
They would devour an entire planet, allowing their swarm to develop until the planet was completely devoid of value.
"Roooaaaaarrrrr" This is my domain! Who gave you permission to act so brazenly?!!
His furious roar turned into a powerful shockwave, dispersing the clouds!
Rumble—his colossal body rose, and an aura of savage brutality erupted across this planet that had once been redeemed.
Seeing the insect swarm, both Tingyun and Serval, who had initially wanted to seek Godzilla's help, hesitated and stopped in their tracks.
"No offense, but, uh… if you're gonna make big moves like this, could you give us a heads-up next time? We're hanging on for dear life here!"
Serval's face darkened. Like Tingyun, she clung to Godzilla's dorsal fins, swaying along with his movements. Their brightly colored clothing made them particularly eye-catching.
