Chapter 587: Chapter587-Loyalty — The Fearless Imperial Legions
As they watched a lord of a major power be surrounded, hunted down, and killed, all the cosmic experts observing the battle were utterly dumbfounded.
A bunch of soldiers had actually killed a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum-level ruler?
Wh-What kind of absurdity was this?
On the battlefield, the nearly one thousand quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts were all shaken to the core.
“We can’t retreat—we have no way out now!”
The War God of Dark Keep was furious to the extreme.
He activated the Dark Keep Divine Body, unleashing without reservation the full power of a being capable of battling a supreme sage rank, and began slaughtering the surging sage lord and Sage Master legions in a frenzy.
A blood-red war spear transformed into a divine pillar that pierced through entire starfields, brutally staking itself into the Star Sea.
In a single instant, the starfield shattered!
Not a single world within it was spared. Worlds cracked apart, and hundreds of millions of stars were reduced to dust beneath the aftermath!
Large numbers of the imperial legions, the primary targets, were buried within the devastation.
Seeing this, Suggwoth frowned. He expanded his army-formation domain, continuously absorbing the battlefield’s bloodshed and slaughter aura, forcefully raising his strength to the peak of the quasi-Empyrean Sanctum level!
Harnessing the power of slaughter through Slayer, he moved to intercept that blood-red spear head-on!
Within his armor, Ares’s eyes blazed. Wielding a colossal crimson axe, he brought it down in a savage vertical cleave toward the War God of Dark Keep!
Within the Styx Sector—
The starfield magic arrays controlled by Alvin formed a powerful defensive barrier, constantly neutralizing the shockwaves of battle.
The Darkmoon Hunter, the Star-Orbit God-King, the Solstar God King, the Commander of the Star Armies…
Nearly a thousand quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts voluntarily followed the War God of Dark Keep, attempting to use their overwhelming rank advantage to massacre the Empire’s sage lord and Sage Master legions on a massive scale, relieving as much pressure from the allied forces as possible.
But that very act enraged the imperial generals.
“You want to slaughter our people?”
Suggwoth’s eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
He stared at those quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts who were butchering imperial soldiers through sheer rank superiority, his voice as cold as a blade.
“Then let me see just how many warriors of the Crossbridge Empire you can kill. Since that’s how it is…”
He raised his sword and gave the order.
“All imperial legions, hear my command—prioritize the encirclement and extermination of the enemy’s quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts!”
“Kill—!”
In an instant, billions of troops rapidly disengaged from the front lines and closed in on those quasi-Empyrean Sanctum enemies.
“May the glory of the Empire endure forever—!”
“KILL!”
With a thunderous roar, the imperial army—tens of billions strong—attacked with all its might.
That terrifying killing intent condensed into an incomparable force, so overwhelming that even a considerable portion of the allied soldiers were frightened out of their wits!
After all, quite a few among the allied factions had come here simply to plunder resources. From the very beginning, they had arrived with the mindset of fighting a war of annihilation.
Even if they possessed the resolve to die, it was not the resolve to face a force like this—nor to face these imperial legions who feared no death!
That was right. These imperial troops fought as if they did not value their lives at all, willing to sacrifice millions, even tens of millions, just to bring down a single quasi-Empyrean Sanctum.
They were utterly insane.
Had they all been brainwashed into stupidity by the Crossbridge Empire?
Pfft—!
The Slaughter Angel broke out of the encirclement and fled madly toward the distant reaches of the Star Sea.
He glanced back once at the battlefield, his lips trembling violently, then turned away and continued fleeing deeper into the Star Sea.
“Ahhh—!”
“No way! Are these people really not afraid of death?!”
The screams of quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts rose and fell one after another.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of millions—up to tens of millions—of sage lord and Sage Lord rank imperial troops were being destroyed.
But at the same time, one quasi-Empyrean Sanctum after another also began to fall!
Under the overwhelming tide of the imperial army, even if they resurrected, they would soon be locked onto again, only to be surrounded and hunted down once more until they met true and final death!
“Ah—impossible!”
After killing several million imperial soldiers in a single strike, Lindsey was finally torn to pieces by billions of converging attacks.
Her soul and Threads of Fate were shattered, and amid desperate, shrill screams, she was completely erased.
Suggwoth had become ruthless as well. War was merciless.
In the hearts of every warrior of the Empire’s various attributes, everything could be sacrificed for the glory of the Empire!
Loyalty!
He was willing to throw billions of fearless troops before the enemy’s blades—just to see how many they could kill before they died!
At this moment, the imperial army had gone mad.
No cost was too great!
“What kind of joke is this?! Arthas, Lord of the Illusory Realm, has fallen!”
Experts from all the cosmic powers cried out in alarm.
The primordial dragons, along with countless powerful beings of the Star Sea, stared fixedly at the core of the battlefield.
That place was now completely veiled in blood mist. At every moment, thousands upon thousands of imperial soldiers died there.
And yet, in stark contrast, endless streams of imperial troops continued charging into that death zone one after another!
Compared with the horrifying scale of the legions, it was that absolute resolve—that utter fearlessness in the face of death—that truly made countless experts shudder in terror.
“Damn it—even the Solstar God King has fallen?!”
“The Darkmoon Hunter has fallen too!”
“Heavens! Even Nat, Commander of the Star Armies, has fallen!”
Amid one shocked cry after another, names that had once shone across the Star Sea cosmos were extinguished one by one in this war.
No matter how powerful they were as individuals, they were still beaten to death under the siege of the Crossbridge Empire’s legions.
This scene perfectly illustrated the meaning of ants biting an elephant to death.
The sight plunged all living beings of the cosmos into silence and dread.
The Star-Orbit God-King was blasted out of the battle zone. His body shattered, then reformed.
Shattered again, reformed again…
His aura weakened without end.
After reviving once more, even his teeth were chattering, his face deathly pale.
For the first time, he felt the power of “mere ants.”
As far as the eye could see, endless imperial troops—uncountable, impossible to kill off—were charging toward him. That sense of helplessness and despair could not be put into words.
“If this battle fails to destroy the Crossbridge Empire…”
A terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
“Then the entire Star Sea will face doomsday!”
In the eyes of those imperial soldiers, he could see only three words:
Loyalty. Loyalty. Still loyalty.
A faith so absolute that they would rather die than yield for the sake of the Empire—it was terrifying beyond measure.
“Ahhh—!”
“You insects, get the hell away from me—!”
Many quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts were beaten into panicked flight, only to be sent back into the battlefield by reversals of time and space.
They cursed furiously. Everyone understood that if they could not break out of this encirclement, then even a pile of tens of billions of soldiers could bury them alive.
Even the War God of Dark Keep had been beaten into a miserable state.
No matter how powerful his Dark Keep Divine Body was, it could not withstand wave after wave of coordinated attacks.
The slightest carelessness, and the attacks would land directly on his true body.
At this point, half his body had already been blasted away, and even his head had been torn apart many times.
Yet his combat power truly was monstrous. Even while being besieged by countless imperial troops at once, he still managed to kill Suggwoth and Ares multiple times!
Under the murderous empowerment of the blood spear, he stood firm against the combined siege of countless legions, Cyriel, Suggwoth, and Ares, refusing to fall!
But the quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts around him were dropping one after another.
The number of companions at his side dwindled more and more, yet the pressure on the survivors did not lessen in the slightest.
Of the nearly one thousand quasi-Empyrean Sanctum experts who had arrived, only one or two hundred remained!
They were no longer fighting.
They were now doing everything in their power just to survive.
The troops from several starfields began pulling away to deal specifically with the War God of Dark Keep.
Seeing that the tide had turned against them, the elite allied forces started fleeing in all directions across the cosmos.
The Crossbridge Empire’s legions gave chase throughout the universe.
The starry cosmos of the myriad races erupted into total chaos!
Nearly twenty billion allied soldiers scattered and fled, yet they were still caught by the imperial army and destroyed one by one.
Countless factions were slaughtered. The allied host of over ten billion was reduced to almost nothing!
Even the remaining elite forces of the Divine Court had no choice but to flee toward the strongholds of the Starfont Divine Court and the Cycle Divine Court.
In this cosmic war, the two great Divine Courts had been utterly defeated.
The alliance of the myriad-race cosmos had been shattered—crippled beyond repair!
Every powerful observer watching the battle had already seen that clearly.
But compared to all this, what concerned them even more was the sage rank battle beyond the Styx Sector!
Only the outcome there could truly decide the course of this war.
And so, all eyes turned toward that battlefield.
