"It’s starting!"

"The war of Deities has begun! And our war has begun as well!"

The moment the great sun and the blood moon began to press against each other, the two Blood Race Princes below Damian City couldn’t help but murmur aloud.

"It’s just a bit unexpected that the Deity of your world is a god who draws Divinity from the great sun."

"And he doesn’t seem to be much weaker than the Blood God."

"That being the case, it’s no wonder you three little ones are so calm and collected. It seems you have great confidence in your Deity."

"If I’m not mistaken, this must be the so-called ’Dragon God’ you three were proclaiming on the Brighton border, right?"

The Blood Race Prince, Anos, said with admiration.

After all, judging by the current situation, the celestial omen they witnessed was indeed the great sun and the blood moon shining with equal brilliance. Their initial clash ended in a stalemate.

From this, many things could be deduced.

He’an waved his hand dismissively.

"Who knows about the Dragon God? In any case, our mission is now complete."

"From here on, you two excellencies will have to fend for yourselves."

"Look, the people of our Star Empire have arrived."

Indeed, at the very moment the great sun and the blood moon shone together, a vertical, golden portal appeared in the Wilderness outside Damian City.

At the same time, more than a dozen figures suddenly leaped out from the golden portal first.

And these first arrivals were not from any other Race.

They were the true Pure-blooded Dragon Clan.

Reinforcements from Dragon Island!

Eighteen Saint Tier Peak Giant Dragons!

Each one of them appeared in a human form, manifested through Elementalization.

Then, these eighteen seemingly unremarkable ’humans’ could be seen quickly taking up guard positions around the Star Gate.

And in the very next moment, a ceaseless torrent of things began to appear!

First came a massive number of drones, similar to FPV racers, capable of rapid flight.

These drones were only about the size of a palm.

But every single one carried a high-explosive Magic Crystal Bomb.

A thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand.

Soon, in what seemed like just a few breaths, a canopy of drones formed high above the Star Gate. Like a terrifying storm cloud, it instantly blanketed the area nearly ten kilometers to the east of Damian City.

They filled the Space, packed together layer upon layer.

Like a moving, giant wall of black and gold!

The giant wall was ten thousand meters high, nearly five kilometers wide, and extended over six kilometers deep.

At that moment, they faced the terrifying swarm of crimson bats from the direction of Damian City. The two sides were clearly and distinctly drawn.

Of course, even more drones were still pouring out of the Star Gate in massive numbers.

Meanwhile, on the ground below, killing machines rapidly formed into arrays.

Some of these killing machines had a humanoid Body Type, some resembled an Octopus, and others looked like Sea Race Demon Beasts.

In short, the variety was immense, and they all looked incredibly intimidating!

The two Blood Race Princes and the eighteen ’Giant Dragons’ in their elemental human forms stared at each other indifferently.

At that moment, as the commanders, none of them moved.

"How interesting."

"They have no life force at all. They look more like intricate pieces of machinery."

"It seems your Star Empire has reached a high level of attainment in, hmm, the industrial systems of mortals!"

"However, I wonder what the actual Power of these things from your world is."

The Blood Race Prince, Anos, remarked with admiration once again.

At the same time, a look of great interest appeared on his face.

And so, in the next instant, with a light wave of his hand,

instantly, the crimson bats that had been besieging Damian City—swarming behind and even beneath him—began to screech and shriek like a crimson cloud as they charged the drone formation.

As for the drones, they certainly weren’t going to sit back and wait for the swarm of crimson bats to charge.

Thus, the first clash between the Star Empire and the Crimson World began.

"BOOM!!!"

"BOOM! BOOM!!!"

The moment the drones and the swarm of crimson bats collided,

the high-explosive Magic Crystal Bombs immediately showed the Blood Race what the power of technology truly was!

Vast swathes of crimson bats were turned into mangled corpses, continuously falling from the sky.

The successive explosions and roars made the eastern sky above Damian City seem to transform into a terrifying wall of fire.

There, the flashes of the explosions constantly generated what looked like a giant wall of flame.

And the crimson bats, like moths to a flame, crashed into that wall of fire one after another.

Of course, throughout the entire Space, the battle was mostly comprised of drones and crimson bats chasing and colliding with one another.

"A little interesting, but how many of these things do you have?"

"Besides, these little trinkets won’t be very effective against members of the Blood Race with even a bit of strength."

This was the Blood Race Prince’s assessment.

Meanwhile, He’an and his two companions stood to the side of the two Blood Race Princes like diplomatic envoys, quietly watching the battle unfold before them.

"It can’t be helped. These small drones were designed specifically to precisely hunt individual Tierless, Apprentice Level Transcendents."

"However, in our Empire, we can have as many of these as we want. Speaking of which, is your swarm of bats going to be enough?"

The Blood Race Prince, Anos, said nothing, but the prince at his side, Zeverin Madison, gave a disdainful laugh.

"You whelps underestimate our Blood Race far too much."

With that, Zeverin gave a slight wave of his hand.
