Behind him, the phantom of a Great Demon with a gold-feathered blue flame birdâs head recklessly spread its wings, assisting Gu Jing in fully unleashing his Spiritual Energy.
Its core function was to enhance the power of Gu Jingâs every Psychic Spell, and simultaneously, it could also act as another initiator of Psychic Spells, performing dual casting.
From the wings of the Great Demonâs phantom, clusters of azure Spiritual Fire traced elusive arcs in the air, targeting one enemy after another and blasting them to death.
Gu Jingâs mighty power significantly altered the battlefieldâs dynamics.
In the past, although many high-ranking members of the Expeditionary Force knew the extent of Gu Jingâs strength and that he could command a purified Great Demon, he rarely used this power fully.
On one hand, because it was both exhausting and dangerous; on the battlefield, blades and bullets showed no mercy, and even the strongest could have mishaps. Itâs safer and more sensible to preserve energy when possible.
Another more important reason was that this power was somewhat taboo. Because of his special status, many had to hold their noses and tolerate it, but unless necessary, he preferred not to flaunt it in othersâ faces.
But today was different.
This battle was of immense significance.
Even though Gu Jing was just a consultant, a guest of the Expeditionary Force, he could not afford to hold back at all.
Not only him, but all the experts of the Expeditionary Force were also vigorously fighting on the front lines.
The Battle Group Leader Nero of the Infinite Corps was leading the trusted aide unit, fighting in the toughest places; Telyoet wielding his top Grade S Psychic power was assisting the groupâs advancement. The experts from the Infinite Sub-group, summoned by the Father of Genetics, were also courageously fighting.
All of this was because his genetic father, the true Son of God, Robert himself, was also wielding the Emperorâs Sword, fighting at the forefront of the battlefield.
Not far away, the fleet of the Human Expeditionary Army was frantically unleashing firepower upon Queen Rose Port and its surrounding areas, bombarding them. They destroyed the defensive capability at the enemyâs core front line, blocking reinforcements.
Of course, such close support from the fleet came at a price. Although Comoros had not experienced such a large-scale enemy attack for a long time, the Dark Spirit Race had never slackened in their defensive preparations for their stronghold. This race, which lived under the constant threat of extinction, was far from dying in its sleep.
Their resistance was resolute and strong, and although restricted by angles and the human fleetâs attack zones, their external firepower on Comoros, even if only partially effective, was still a terrifying threat.
One by one, human battleships were blasted into scrap metal.
And assault boats, aircraft, and warships from other ports of Comoros were continuously supporting the battlefield. The human fleetâs critical task was to intercept these enemies.
The Glory Queen-class Battleship inherited by the Infinite Corps from ten thousand years ago, acting as the flagship and keystone of the entire fleet, was doing just that.
This Glory Queen already bore numerous scars. Its powerful Void Shield had been extinguished and restarted twice. Yet despite being in such a perilous situation, the precious battleship did not retreat a single step, because their leader, their Son of God had commanded them to hold the front line with their mighty bodies and sharp artillery, sustaining the human fleetâs formation.
However, Gu Jing still felt concerned. He could see that although the human attack came suddenly and fiercely, suppressing the Dark Spirit Race fighting on their home ground.
But this was merely a flash in the pan, the final frenzy.
Without backup forces, with personnel and supplies impossible to replenish, the Human Expeditionary Army had only this one overwhelming assault capability. If they failed to succeed, the peak of battle to the fleetâs destruction would be but a moment.
Refocusing, worrying about these things was useless.
Right now, only battle matters!
He continued to rally his Spiritual Energy, and this time his target was distinctly chosenâthe Veil Induction Tower at Queen Rose Port!
This building was a core strategic target, mentioned in whispers from his father and must be captured. Only by utilizing the Spirit Raceâs technology within this tower could the Veil Gate linking the real universe be opened.
This position had been conquered. The enemy was launching a frantic counterattack, and Gu Jingâs Spiritual Energy was a crucial force in quelling the enemyâs counteroffensive.
With full firepower, he was not at ease. The enemy contained some highly formidable units, whether those Great Witch Spirits, those accursed flesh constructs, or the extraordinarily strong individual units among the alien races employed by the Dark Spirit Race... all were exceedingly difficult to kill, and letting them through would put immense pressure on the human troopsâ defensive lines.
He had to exert considerable effort to clear them out one by one.
And in this process, his conspicuous fighting style naturally became a target for enemy focus fire.
Relentless shelling, heavy unit assaults, and swift raids from assault boats forced him to expend energy in defense.
Even he was gradually feeling overwhelmed, inevitably growing anxious.
"We must be quick..."
Inside the Induction Tower, already seized by the human troops, the Sages of the Sect of Mechanics and scholars from the Psychic Cultivatorâs Association, under the leadership of the Great Sage Kaoâer, were striving to decrypt Spirit Race technology.
The Judges were working hard to extract information from captured prisoners directly from the battlefield to help the Great Sages speed up the decryption process.
However, humanityâs efforts in decrypting the Veil Spirit Gate, the Dark Spirit Raceâs highest level technology, continued to encounter numerous difficulties.
Even with the presence of Divine Envoy-Meifenier, progress was limited.
The Ark Eldar had some understanding of their dark counterpartsâ technology, but the two sidesâ technological routes were not entirely the same, and could only offer limited assistance rather than directly solving the issues.
The Great Sage kept stating that he needed more time, more information, urging all forces to strive to earn it for him.
Robert was also coolly issuing orders one after another, enabling the forces to remain unshaken amidst the Dark Spirit Raceâs stormy counterattacks.
Yet, the situation continued to worsen little by little.
Even now, reports were coming in from some units stating they had used their last bullet, fixed bayonets, and were ready for a decisive struggle once the enemy came. Within minutes, they were silent, unable to send any further information.
In these circumstances, Gu Jing suddenly noticed a peculiar âenemyâ approaching.
A group of energy beings generating electric discharges all over their bodies, seemingly driven by a squad of Dark Spirit Race elites, were launching another strike towards the Induction Tower.
From these energy beings, Gu Jing sensed a strength that felt oddly familiar.
Could it be...
His thoughts shifted, Spiritual Energy roared forth, and head-sized blue fireballs exploded amid the enemy formation, deliberately avoiding the energy beings.
When the Spirit Race elites driving them were blown into chaos, these electric energy beings suddenly turned against their allies, attacking the Spirit Race forces nearby!
