Various pieces of information flashed through his mind in an instant, eventually converging into a single sentence. Vlad didn’t hold back and immediately used his strongest ability. The dark sky unfolded, and a scarlet moon hung at the top of the curtain—Scarlet Arrival! Almost at the same time, Katrina’s magic power erupted in mid-air. The surging magic power poured from the energy core along the mecha’s magic power line into the mecha’s cannon. The scattered magic power, centered on the mecha, sprayed out light wings in all directions, like a burst of a new star! The next moment, the fully activated cannon immediately changed direction, and the violent barrage covered below. With the amplification of the Mechanical Master’s abilities, those barrages were actually no less powerful than the original giant cannon of Xuanxing, plowing a deep crater in the warehouse and splitting it in half, raising a cloud of smoke and dust. The Tier 5 soldiers by Katrina’s side were eager to join the fight, each displaying their abilities. The Mechanical Warriors and Mecha Masters directly charged down the battlefield, while the remaining Mechanical Masters and Rune Puppet Masters each threw out various machines and puppets. But at this moment, they all felt a threat and immediately began evasive maneuvers. The next moment, several attacks descended from the sky, landing on their original positions. The sudden change made them immediately look up at the sky. They saw that from the scarlet moon, which had originally seemed like a decoration, four familiar Tier 5 auras burst out wantonly. They instantly recognized that these were none other than their colleagues who had been controlled in previous raids. "Weren’t they sent out? Before taking action, we clearly confirmed their positions. How did they suddenly return?" One of the Mechanical Masters immediately became nervous. Being from the mechanical control faction, he instantly redirected various mechanical soldiers around him to intercept the enemies in the sky. Meanwhile, he tried to contact the rear using mechanical control to get an understanding of the situation. Yet he soon discovered that this black sky severed the battlefield entirely, blocking any signals. His heart sank, realizing that the opponent was well-prepared. They certainly knew that their previous raids ended with their allies being sent to their deaths, controlled by spiritual means to become the opponent’s combat power. Therefore, they had stopped engaging directly, opting instead to attack low-tier power they sent out. Having interacted with God believers for a long time, they were well aware of how these believers cared about their followers and would inevitably send people to intervene. After all, if they didn’t dispatch anyone, they would have to bear the consequence of damaging their sect’s reputation, something those God believers couldn’t accept—except for those from [Order] and [Chaos]. And once they were sent out, they would inevitably weaken their own strength, which was the opportunity they had been waiting for. Only when it was confirmed that their controlled Tier 5 colleagues were dispatched and couldn’t return quickly, did they officially plan to take action. Originally, they thought that as long as those controlled Tier 5 colleagues weren’t around. With only one person on the opponent’s side, even if the opponent had advanced to Tier Six, with their one Tier Six leading the team and seven Tier 5 soldiers setting up the formation, they were assuredly secure. They even had enough leeway to handle any special means the opponent as a follower of a certain God might employ. Therefore, when they confirmed the opponent’s promotion, they didn’t feel any ripple. But now, the opponent had unexpectedly summoned those controlled colleagues back, instantly dissipating their combat power advantage, leaving them uneasy. Immediately, they focused their gaze on Tier Six Katrina. "Don’t worry, I’m here. It’s just those God believers relying on external forces; as long as we eliminate the leader controlling them, they won’t be a threat! You three are responsible for blocking them, and the rest will come directly with me! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 The intelligence suggests the opponent excels at long-term battles, so make sure to act swiftly!" Despite the unforeseen changes, after a brief hesitation, she made a decisive decision, pointing out three individuals: two Puppet Masters skilled in outnumbered fights and the Mechanical Master, as well as the front-line Mechanical Warrior. With that said, Katrina took the lead, scanning the area with her eyes, locking onto targets in the smoke with various detection methods, and once more directing the cannon on her mecha to unleash firepower toward the lingering smoke below. But this time, Vlad wouldn’t just take hits passively! While their attention was drawn to the summoned Blood Puppets, under the smoke, he immediately threw out a handful of plant seeds. Utilizing the accelerated growth ability he had gained at Tier Two, he caused them to rapidly expand. Facing the falling barrage, the smoke suddenly sprouted several vines imbued with scarlet magic power. Light beams that could easily tear the ground could only rip open Blood Flesh on these. A large amount of energy was absorbed and intercepted by the vines themselves, unable to inflict effective damage. For a moment, the fierce firepower was blocked by a mere few vines. "Fungus Blanket Plant—Energy Absorption Type Thorns 042, possessing strong defensive capabilities against energy attacks, especially technological-side damage, personally cultivated by His Highness..." Information about the vines swiftly flashed through Vlad’s mind, and the vine’s effect was far better than he had anticipated. They were indeed worthy of being cultivated by His Highness!
