A beam of blinding crimson intertwined with deep violet tore through the void—a lance of destruction piercing the stars... heading toward Heavenly Sky Realm's main planet.
In its path, space itself tore.
The first Aegis Satellite shield it touched… collapsed instantly.
Due to the attack's speed and scale, Platinum General couldn't abandon his duel. Golden General and Golden Troops lacked the mass and formation to stop something like that.
In the command center, silence hung like fog.
Some officers forgot to breathe.
The beam streaked forward.
Approaching the outer atmosphere, if it broke through, an entire surface city would vanish without trace.
Then…
The sky trembled.
. . .
Between the red beam and the main planet, something appeared.
Not a warship.
Not a satellite.
A colossal shadow, like a titanic figure forged from pure energy, projected itself, its back facing the planet, its body facing the incoming beam.
An energy avatar.
