As he watched the smoke and water vapor gradually dissipate, Iktun realized the real damage Minos had caused outside of the area protected by the last defenses of his base.

Aside from those defenses, which were as strong as high-level grade-4 defense barriers, virtually everything had been destroyed for a few dozen kilometers away from the blast center.

The surface of two of the three islands in the area had been completely obliterated. At the same time, the surroundings of the main island, where the defensive barrier was located, had also disintegrated.

The sea had lost a ridiculous amount of water and was gradually covering the spaces left by the evaporated water.

The explosion had evaporated all the water within a certain distance, temporarily turning the area around these three islands into what looked like a dome of water, as the evaporated water had left the space in the shape of a hemisphere.

But as the water vapor rose, the seawater that hadn't evaporated moved to cover the spaces left behind.

A lot of water had evaporated there, but compared to the great sea, it was nothing. In the next few moments, the sea level would return to its previous level, with a difference in height of only a few millimeters.

But it wouldn't be tranquil!

As terrifying waves formed a few kilometers away from the islands, the sky above the area turned dark, and heavy clouds formed.

The winds in that area were extremely strong, and the spiritual energy there was chaotic.

Seeing what was happening outside the area protected by his barrier, Iktun knew that even if Minos' entire group had died in the previous attack, he would still be in trouble.historical

Such an extreme phenomenon would attract the attention of the powers of the Spiritual World!

Not only that, but the disaster brewing in this area alone would cause problems for them as their defenses were about to collapse.

"Damned Minos! I curse your name and your family!" Iktun shouted as he grabbed the universal communicator in his hand to send another message to his people.

This communicator wasn't as efficient as the holographic one in the facility's center. But once the information was sent, it would reach his empire in a matter of days, even if the device in his hands was later destroyed.

"This is Commander Iktun. I am sending you a warning regarding the attack you were warned about in the previous warning. Minos Stuart has succeeded in his plans and has managed to destroy all of our Protectors." He said as he held the object in his hands while his companions around him trembled with fear.

Gulp!

If the Commander is sending this message... One of them wondered, sensing that their leader no longer had any hope of survival.

Sending such a message now was a sign that they would probably die in the next few hours or days!

Iktun continued. "I don't know what happened to Minos. He may or may not be dead. In any case, I don't expect to be able to withstand the enemy's pressure for much longer.

By the time this message reaches the headquarters, my men and I will probably be dead!

lightsΝοvel.cοm So please come as soon as possible, and when you arrive, look for Minos Stuart. If he's still alive, he'll be our main enemy!I think you should take a look at lightsnovel.cοm

That's all there is to say. It's been an honor to serve the Mechanic Empire!" He said aloud before striking a military pose and said with his men. "Glory to the Mechanic Empire!"

As they said this, the power of the communication device ran out, and their last message to their people was sent.

At that moment, silence fell over the entire interior of the area protected by the cracked barriers until a black glow appeared in the sky.

Ka-Booooom!

Then, as everyone felt the horror of the moment they were in, Black Lightning descended from the sky, cutting its way at lightning speed to what was left of the strongest Protector.

The level 96 creature didn't stand a chance and was vaporized in an instant as the space explorers of the Mechanic Empire watched the Spiritual World put an end to the last of these combat robots.

But this was what their theories had predicted would happen if their robotic technologies were exposed without protection.

As they watched, they could only sigh in defeat as the defensive barrier above their island began to emit louder and louder cracking sounds.

At that moment, a violent storm was already beginning in the area, as large and powerful waves were crashing towards them.

With no way to control the climate of the North Sea and with the consequences of Minos' actions added to the natural phenomena of the area, it was only a matter of time before their defenses collapsed!

Iktun clenched his fists and commanded his men. "Put on your armor and grab your weapons! We will fight to the death!"

"Yes, Commander!" All the men who hadn't been frozen in the cryogenic units on the island said and quickly materialized armor over their bodies.

They weren't powerful, but they had special armor and weapons that could boost their powers a bit. Even if it didn't put them on the same level as their Protectors, it was something that made their combat skills 1 or 2 levels higher than their cultivations!

While they were doing this as their last hope to kill enemies before they fell, several shadows appeared on the sea's surface near that island.

At that moment, Minos and his group finally returned to the surface and noticed the result of the bomb explosion.

"It seems that those outside the 'tortoise shell' have been completely wiped out. But we still have living enemies." The surviving Phoenix, Minos' old acquaintance who had been with him in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom, commented as he returned to his bestial form, eager to avenge his friend's death.

The Arctic Whale was also eager to fight due to the injuries he had suffered earlier. Since he wasn't seriously injured, this being was eager to fight the lower beings hiding behind the barrier that was about to break.

Minos looked in the direction of the strongest of the enemies, seeing how strong the defenses of this place were, but without much concern. If the enemy had been hiding during the entire conflict, letting them destroy so many things, it could only mean they weren't strong enough to deal with them.

Otherwise, there would have been no point in hiding. Joining the battle would have been best for them.

With that in mind, he said, feeling a little better as he saw those beings preparing for them. "My friends, take care of these bastards on my behalf. But leave some survivors for us to interrogate in Dry City. As for the others, just leave their bodies intact. Today, we will win this confrontation!"
