The battle for the Male Soldiers' Squad was anything but easy.
Especially with Morgan not interfering or restricting Tao Tie and the Giant Wolf Civilization from using planet-killer level weapons and advanced nuclear armaments.
Fighting back desperately, both Tao Tie and the Giant Wolf fleet relied on their energy shields to resist most of the blast damage. Even at dangerously close range, they all activated their ultimate weapons!
[They all activated their ultimate weapons!]
Only Reina, empowered by the full unleashing of the Light of the Sun, could hold her ground.
The recently-awakened super-soldier genes within the members of the Male Soldiers' Squad were still insufficient, and they began falling into a disadvantage!
Across the four spatial battlefields, the conflict had settled into a stalemate.
While observing the battlefield, Kei Yamanaka turned his gaze toward his own system interface.

Kei hesitated slightly, glancing at [A Strong One Doesn't Fall to the Cleaver], but ultimately decided to use the Purple-Tier upgrade on [Planet Devourer], which offered a major power boost.
After all, the stronger he became, the less likely he'd be to die from some cleaver.
Besides, he already had an unlimited lifespan.
No rush!
[Ding~ Congratulations, Host! The Purple-tier trait 'Planet Devourer' has been successfully upgraded, obtaining the Red-tier skill 'Star Devourer'.]
[Star Devourer] (Red): Can consume any energy equal to or weaker than that of stellar explosions or cosmic black holes, greatly increasing your personal energy capacity limit; if the user's internal energy ranks below High-Tier Cosmic Energy, it will automatically upgrade to that level; energy absorption efficiency and conversion efficiency are significantly enhanced; consuming one unit of stellar energy causes this skill to advance.
Inside Kei's body, the planetary energy limit—previously capped at only twenty-six units—began surging rapidly in an extremely dramatic way.
The Heavenly Earth Primordial Realm also rapidly expanded due to the surge in total energy.
It was like a quantitative shift had triggered a qualitative leap.
Previously flowing like galaxies inside him, yuan energy now gathered intensely, condensing and radiating brilliant light!
Tiny grains of energy crystals began forming continuously, eventually filling his entire Primordial Realm!
Since the last upgrade, although its size had once been enough to contain the entire Blue Planet, this time the expansion was only double—yet its dimensional strength and quality surged over tenfold!
[Dimensional Realm – Heavenly Earth Primordial Realm – Has Been Upgraded, energy intensity increased, and the processing speed of the Dimensional Overclocked Intelligence Core improved. Current core processing rate: 800 operations per second.]
With the refinement of dimensional realms, various concepts and special effects received slight enhancements, enabling upward simulation and structuring.
The fundamental laws of this dimension remain incomplete. It is recommended to obtain the Power Stone, Reality Stone, and Mind Stone to recreate and complete them.
"Transforming from a mere dimension into a fully-realized world?" Kei Yamanaka felt his yuan energy surge tenfold, looking at the prompt from the Quantum Engine, falling into deep thought.
There was no Time Stone, nor Space Stone.
Was it because his understanding of time and space, enhanced by Soaring Through All Heavens, had already reached a rudimentary level capable of supporting world operations?
"I'll try it once I get back."
Kei muttered inwardly.
He had left the Time Stone in Wong's care before arriving in the Superman Realm.
That artifact held tremendous influence over the Marvel Realm.
Who knew what consequences might arise if he took it away with him.
He definitely didn't want to come back after just a few days away, only to discover that years had passed in the Marvel Realm.
Desert, island, snowfield, rainforest—four battlefronts. While Kei focused on self-improvement, these areas had already been reduced to ruins beneath waves of ultra-high-intensity weaponry.
One personal experience outweighs ten thousand theoretical simulations when it comes to growth.
Facing alien civilizations' advanced weaponry,
Even with the Black Armor absorbing most of the damage, every member of the Male Soldiers' Squad was gravely injured, almost dying.
After all, they had only just awakened their genetic potential.
Far from fully matured.
As time passed, the combat situations across the four battlefronts grew increasingly dire.
Except for Reina—who had never removed her gene limiter—all the others were practically cornered!
When faced with desperation, humanity has only two choices.
Either [Outburst]... or death!
Not one member of the Male Soldiers' Squad chose to accept death at this moment.
As they roared defiantly at their enemies, Kei regained focus and silently activated [The Competition to Amuse the Divine], boosting their power output by 1%!
Under normal circumstances, this 1% boost would mean nothing.
So slight that even dull individuals wouldn't notice any difference.
But at this critical moment, that small boost was enough to help them break through their individual bottlenecks!
Everyone began evolving—rapidly growing stronger through real life-or-death combat!
"Galactic Power, Noxing War God...Energy output surged 300%, Invincible Body fully awakened, Void Techniques control improved fourfold, God-Slaying Power control enhanced fivefold..."
Looking at the stats displayed by the Quantum Engine, Kei couldn't help but feel impressed.
Approaching death was terrifying.
For the Male Soldiers' Squad, this battlefield debut facing Tao Tie and Giant Wolf fleet's full assault was clearly somewhat overwhelming.
Yet these people somehow endured anyway, annihilating both Tao Tie and the Giant Wolf Star fleet.
The Demigod Trials came to a halt.
When the group reappeared in Huang Village, everyone except Reina collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Xin was battered and bruised all over, his left arm bent at a grotesque ninety-degree angle backward with bone shards visible through the torn skin.
Ge Xiaolun looked like a boiled lobster, his skin scorched and damaged from the intense nuclear bombardment, exposing raw, glistening muscle tissue beneath.
Although his Invincible Body had already started repairing itself rapidly, a lack of physical energy slowed his regeneration maddeningly.
Liu Chuan was now bald—every strand of hair on his entire body gone.
One eye remained tightly closed, blood crusted at the corner, as he gasped for breath, staring up at the star-strewn night sky while chuckling deliriously.
Cheng Yaowen, Mengmeng, Rin, Rose, and the others weren't faring any better.
Firing at full capacity and without restraint, the Tao Tie Civilization and the Giant Wolf Civilization displayed combat power unlike anything seen in the original storyline, where they were restricted by constraints.
Clap clap clap~
Kei Yamanaka gave a light round of applause.
The Quantum Engine activated, simultaneously affecting both Void and Anti-Void concepts. In under ten seconds, every one of their wounds had healed completely.
"Technically speaking, by my own rules, the winner of the Demigod Trials is entitled to a reward. But given your unique circumstances, I'll make an exception this time. As for your war spoils, I've placed them outside the village—just call someone to clean it up yourselves."
The moment Kei Yamanaka finished speaking, the wreckage of the Tao Tie and Giant Wolf civilization warships materialized on the open wasteland beyond Huang Village.
"What the hell... Is this... Mine? My war spoils? Seriously...?"
Liu Chuan scrambled to his feet, staring at the massive pile of alien warship debris in the distance, nearly brought to tears.
Alien warships!
This must be worth a ridiculous amount of cash!
"God, your place is totally destroyed," Reina stood there awkwardly.
The Divine Competition space once housed many village structures, and now, after that battle, all of it was gone.
"It will repair itself automatically."
A light chuckle escaped Kei Yamanaka's lips as he casually waved his hand.
As long as there wasn't Conceptual-Tier annihilation of its core essence, the space within The Competition to Amuse the Divine would quickly reconfigure itself.
With total mass unchanged, the consumed energy was minimal.
"Master, thank you."
Ge Xiaolun stayed lying on the ground, unwilling to move just yet.
On his face—now showing signs of resolve and determination—genuine gratitude glimmered.
At the moment of deepest despair,
he could distinctly feel a figure gently patting his shoulder, infusing him with limitless power!
Beside him, Liu Chuan, Zhao Xin, Cheng Yaowen, and the others also began expressing their thanks.
"Great Master, I, Liu Chuan, might not be what you'd call a good guy, but when it comes to action, I never fall short. If you ever need anything, just give me a shout!"
"Same here, same here! Great Master, we're men of our word—one promise, one deed. You can count on us, no questions asked!"
