Chapter 1085 955: Hand It Over!

"Broken Star Sea" East Two Islands, the sea battle arena between Galliot Duchy and Golden Palm Federation.

Boom——!

At this moment, the magic element has been sealed, completely belonging to the mundane world's war machinery. Thick smoke billowed over the sea, where the strongest fleets maneuvered back and forth in line formation.

The line formation tactic, which shone brilliantly in the era of sailing battleships, remains far from obsolete even thirty years later.

In fact, this tactic has gained even greater life force in the hands of the [All-Heavy Cannon Battleship], which does not require external power.

At 10:50 AM, under pressure from the [Mythical Battleship: Nagilfa], the forward cruiser fleets of both sides launched probing artillery attacks.

At 11:12 AM, Federation Fleet Commander Edi Ernest ordered a change in formation to facilitate combat.

He commanded the main fleet's first and second detachments to accelerate to 15 knots, moving ahead of the fourth detachment.

However, due to the "communication failure" (actually orchestrated by the Duchy's [Electrical Engineer] in an information war), the order to slow down the fourth column was not timely issued, causing some chaos in the Federation fleet's formation.

Around 11:20 AM, to secure an advantageous attack position, Duchy Fleet Commander Aiven ordered the entire fleet to make a large turn in front of the enemy.

In the "Giant Ship Cannon Era," without the influence of sea winds and currents, the importance of battleships seizing the head of the "T" formation became increasingly prominent.

Like sailing battleships, modern battleships and cruisers also maximize their firepower when attacking from the flanks.

Thus, presenting the flank of one's own formation against the front of the enemy's line has always been a dream combat state for fleet commanders.

In such a state, one's firepower can be maximized, while the enemy's firepower is obstructed by the forward ships and unable to fully be exerted, naturally holding the advantage.

Contesting the "T-head" in naval artillery battles logically has become a necessary step, even written into the textbooks and naval manuals of major institutes and navy protocols.

However, at 11:35 AM, when the Federation flagship [Light of Democracy] took advantage of a temporarily advantageous position from formation adjustments, it opened fire on the Duchy fleet.

Boom——!

Standing on the bridge of the [Super Dreadnought: Prince], Fleet Vice Commander Elante was sweating profusely:

"Hey! Hey! Call [Spear of Royal Authority], what's going on? Why has our radio signal suddenly cut out too?

Order: [Electrical Engineer] immediately diagnose the fault, notify the entire fleet, complete the predetermined tactical movement! Signal the second detachment not to chaos!"

In fact, this very moment was when the second impact arrived, only unobservable by mortals.

Twenty years ago when the first impact arrived, it had almost no effect on mortals, but this second impact has significantly affected the Material World.

When the Sun God "Tonatiuh," resembling a natural phenomenon, manifested in the Material World, His authority directly triggered disasters in the Material World.

On the sun facing Herag Star, near a complex sunspot group, two extremely bright white lights suddenly erupted.

Their brightness increased rapidly, even far surpassing the light sphere background.

Although the bright white light only lasted a few minutes before quickly disappearing without a trace.

Yet, with the violent solar flare eruption, the howling solar wind caused ionization in Herag Star's atmosphere, stirring the magic elements in the Material World dramatically.

On Herag Star, most regions experiencing daytime saw almost all short-wave radio communications declared interrupted, leading both fleets to inevitably fall into fighting independently.

However, luck sided with the Duchy.

The Duchy's 151 various warships disrupted the opposing command with "information warfare," having just completed a "U-turn," perfectly positioned at the head of the "T" shape.

And with short-wave communications fully interrupted, any reaction attempts by the Federation fleet would be severely inefficient.

On the right wing of the "U," the fleet flagship [Spear of Royal Authority] had completed calibration while underway.

This battleship was equipped with the largest caliber naval guns in human history, nine 45-caliber 460 mm main guns installed in three turrets weighing 2,774 tons.

Each gun barrel measured 21.13 meters in length, weighed 178 tons, capable of firing 1,460 kg high-explosive shells over 44,000 meters away.

Even a distant glance at the turrets could make one's eyes sting from the gun's fierce aura.

Aiven's Tier 3 Clone waved his hand forcefully.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The volley from the main guns, seemingly able to tear through the waves, with just one shot sent the heavy cruiser named "Milbrook" directly to the seabed.

The explosion from the ammunition depot illuminated the entire battlefield.

...

One hour later.

In the high sky, holding a long spear, the "War Demon God" Lelakin (Chapter 945), still fanning the flames everywhere, watched the fireballs bursting continuously on the sea surface and the rolling thick smoke, dancing with joy.

"Hahaha! I've finally returned to the position of Demigod! To show my gratitude, let me spice things up a bit more for you!"

At this moment, the rust-red Divine Light around Him faintly erupted, echoing with countless warriors' screams, shouts, and battles before their death... His power had indeed returned to the level of a Demigod.

He took the long bow from his shoulder, drew it to a full circle, and an arrow with a rust-red, ominous aura automatically appeared, aimed at the naval battlefield below.

Given its appearance, it was certainly not a good sign.

It's hard to say whether this guy was really lucky or unlucky; within just a couple of hours, Lelakin had perfectly missed the recruitment meeting for Demigods held by the "Violence Angels."

Yet, He didn't need to worry about that.

Just as the arrow swayed, sometimes locking onto the Federation Fleet, sometimes onto the Duchy Fleet.

The Divine Light in Lelakin's pupils suddenly wavered, revealing a beautiful noblewoman in a black dress.

[Authority: Dream Reporting God]

Suddenly.

Whish! Whish! Whish!...

The sky was filled with a dazzling golden light, sturdy as giant wood, covered with thorns of iron-colored rose stems, and upon them blossomed millions of red roses large as wash basins, vibrant as blood.

Transformed into a sharp stream of light, it firmly locked down the stunned Demon God.

[Heartbroken Red Rose: Astraea]

Rip——!

Nine hideous dragon heads larger than houses, surrounded by clouds of Sword Qi, came viciously biting towards Him.

[Authority: Nine-Headed Dragon Bite]

Boom!

The rust-red Divine Light exploded.

The suddenly attacked Lelakin, after being torn apart into three forms: "Archer," "Sword and Shield Soldier," and "Cavalry," had transformed into a short "Lancer" with a long spear on His shoulder.

Cursing under His breath, He turned to rush towards the depths of the "Broken Star Sea."

For a moment, He didn't realize that His flying speed was significantly slower than usual.

[Authority: Close as Hand and Far as Heaven]

After scattering and fleeing, the group from the Duchy split again, with Aiven taking Olivia and Angie to intercept the "Nagilfa."

Anita, Milan, Nymph, and Liweina took a detour and returned to the "Broken Star Sea."

With Milan, a "Clock Tower" expert, at the helm, no one could catch them if they decided to run.

Apart from the "Möbius Ring" area of effect, even the Death Demon Environment couldn't hinder His spatial teleportation.

Just as the group was preparing to seize the Evil God to serve as Aiven's "fertilizer".

A strand of golden-red hair from Liweina's head suddenly fell off, and amidst the flashing Divine Light, it had already transformed into the figure of Aiven.

This "God of All Things Fertile" existed in every corner of this world; wherever there were creatures, there was His presence, making the phrase "the grass and trees are all soldiers" a reality long ago.

Unless every living thing in this world could be exterminated in an instant, He could never truly be killed.

Oh, after spreading His genetic material across more than twenty stars, the difficulty of killing Him had risen exponentially.

Moreover, with the "Mythical Form: Native Species," His soul essence was as if it had already been uploaded to the cloud, existing in the Material World as a terminal that can be switched at will.

Dying three to five times in a short period was not a big deal at all.

As Aiven's essential Beloved, Her Majesty the Queen, a Divine Creature whose body and mind had long been completely transformed, was His thickest root, showing the strongest adaptability to His Divine Power.

So, with the Feast at hand, He naturally wouldn't resort to plain meals, and instead, completed resurrection directly on Liweina.

Seeing Lelakin fleeing, Aiven widened His grin and reached out towards Him.

"Come here, you!"

Countless roots shot out electrically from the void around Aiven, like man-eating tree demons, quickly plunging into Lelakin's body.

In the blink of an eye, they hollowed out this Demon God's essence, sending it into the Spiritual Cycle of the Netherworld.

"Hmm, what a generous person! He even left the [War Divine Position]?"
