Chapter 1193: Chapter 916: The Composure of the Reality Manipulator

"Look! They’ve completely collapsed!" Pan Ruiyi advanced forward, seeing the defenses below being overtaken by the Eastern Hemisphere Allied Forces.

The people of New Taixi State desperately tried to fill the gaps in their defenses, but with tens of thousands of them being drawn out by Farosa’s Little Galaxy in an instant, it was impossible to shore up the frontline defenses. It was akin to moths flying into a flame; they lacked defensive support both on the ground and in the sky. Realizing this, they ceased their plans and relinquished the Anchorage frontline. As for the reinforcements they had previously dispatched, although it was a painful loss, they could only watch and abandon them.

"Watch out for their space motherships!" Storm Princess shouted.

In the distance, the fleet of the Lighthouse Core had already arrived. Numerous ships, using advanced technology akin to rapid translocation, swiftly came to provide reinforcements. Pan Ruiyi squinted to see; the Horizon, Orion, Tenacity, Epsilon, Enterprise, Hornet, Independence, Harley... this bloody battle would be endless!

She heard the roaring sound and turned her head to see the Combat Witches unfurl their Iron Wings and soar into the sky, battling the heavens!

The eldest Dominator Witches, Netherworld Thunder God and Storm Princess, had both become Supreme Witches. Now, they each entered a corner of the battlefield, beginning their violent destruction of the New Taixi State’s fleet.

"Fight for our Witch comrades who perished in New Taixi State — they didn’t even have a chance to ’live,’ deprived of their bodies, sent straight into the data black wall at birth... For their freedom, spread your wings and soar!" Netherworld Thunder God led the Combat Witch Brigade in charging; her loud voice cut through the sky, bringing a barrage of thunder.

"’Vortex Cannon!’" Storm Princess, shrouded in a storm, flashed across the battlefield, raising one hand high to unleash a powerful whirlwind that instantly targeted the incoming enemy aircraft formations.

The supersonic "Black Hawk" jets were thrown into disarray, suppressed by the erratic pressure turbulence, their fired machine guns and missiles all swept away by the fierce winds, rendered utterly powerless.

"We’re losing control!"

"Help! Help!"

"It’s Storm Princess!"

"The gale is picking up — the fleet can’t advance!"

"Can’t even retreat... Watch out!"

"The Nestor Corporation’s Combat Witch Assault Team!"

The Lighthouse Core deployed a massive formation of 20 space motherships in midair, arrayed over the vast earth, ready for battle.

"Launch a frontal assault with maximum storm power to clear the way for the ground troops and the Witches behind. The trained Witches can navigate your storm smoothly," Lila ordered through the communication device.

"Yes!" Storm Princess received the command and quickly began mobilizing her magic. "Prepare yourselves, and follow me into the storm!"

"Yes!" The Witches in the rear surged forward in the assault. Their movements were more refined, having trained for years to coordinate with Storm Princess.

"—Black Storm!" Storm Princess unleashed her magic, stirring up a massive whirlwind spanning over 100 kilometers in diameter!

Like a natural disaster, the torrent of winds surged up, pulling in countless enemy aircraft, causing them to lose control and crash to the ground, or get caught by the wind pressure and ultimately slammed into the terrain. Even the top-tier aircraft designed by Lighthouse Core couldn’t escape fate, tumbling helplessly in the gale and shattering to pieces.

"The weather’s too awful!"

"We need to retreat!"

"The weather’s unsuitable for combat—"

"With Storm Princess here, every day is unsuitable for combat! Keep advancing! Activate the shields!" The Lighthouse Core’s fleet struggled to break through the hurricane, aiming to suppress the Eastern Hemisphere Allied Forces’ ground troops.

Numerous missiles shot out from the storm, only to be caught by Storm Princess and hurled in all directions. Many smaller ships were hit by these redirected missiles, breaking apart under the anti-ship missile strikes, their pieces scattering through the air.

Yet one warship gritted its teeth to push through the storm, intending to bomb the Eastern Hemisphere Allied Forces.

Netherworld Thunder God transformed into a bolt of lightning, intercepting it in a flash.

"Hmph! Come on!" Netherworld Thunder God spread her arms wide, launching a massive lightning strike at the Orion warship that broke through the storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lightning poured out, instantly punching through Orion’s defensive grid, enveloping it in crackling lightning. Numerous carrier units were instantly incinerated, the hull charred and damaged in large sections. The supermassive warship, over 2000 meters in diameter, seemed like nothing more than an oversized balloon in front of the diminutive Netherworld Thunder God, ready to pop with a single strike!

"Orion! Orion! Report your status!" Lighthouse Core’s command post urgently contacted the besieged Orion warship.

The voice echoed, only to be met with silence. Inside the Orion warship, everything had been hollowed out; people and machinery alike were penetrated by a massive electric current, either turned to charcoal or blown apart by overloading explosions. The 10,000 personnel on board, the 450 billion cost of the Orion warship, were all obliterated in a single thunderbolt by Netherworld Thunder God!

It roared, spinning out of control, plummeting toward the ground, ultimately erupting in towering flames and black smoke.

Netherworld Thunder God laughed heartily, raising morale. The people of New Taixi State considered Witches taboo, mere tools for brainwork, and this would lead to their defeat today — against the formidable combat power of the Supreme Witch cluster, they stood no chance!

"We’ve lost Orion!"

"How could it be—"

"Do we still advance?"

"Deploy our Witches!" The Lighthouse Core fleet swiftly responded.

The Witches in the Goddess of Peace Series, along with the Angels, joined the battle. Delaney, the Witch contracted by Lighthouse Core, entered the fray, regarded as the world’s second most powerful Witch. Delaney’s magic is "Nature Collapse," easily obliterating the very nature of the existence of both beings and events, erasing them from the world.

"Delaney! The deity has bestowed upon you a mission, go pursue the revelation! The revelation of the god is with you!" The Lighthouse Core command station issued their order.

With a vacant gaze, Delaney activated the wings of her Witch Armor and leaped into the battlefield. As an externally contracted Dominator-Level Witch by Lighthouse Core, she was one of the few Witch Powers in New Taixi State, quickly manipulated by Dilnai after the Heavenly Tribulation, becoming an elite Witch under her command.

"Delaney has been deployed!"

"Watch out!"

"Alert! All members be careful of the enemy’s ’Messenger of Peace’ mercenary witch corps!"

"Damn it—those witches fighting for money!"

"Delaney used to be the world’s second strongest witch, now she’s probably the Supreme Witch too, be careful! She’s the strongest one left," Pan Ruiyi shouted.

Delaney’s gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield, her single hand aimed at the vast Anchorage Isthmus, the blood-soaked battlefield now covered by her power.

"In the name of the divine—unveil the veil!" She locked onto the ’magic power’ in the Anchorage Isthmus, destroying their essence of existence.

In an instant, the storm that swept the heavens and earth rapidly faded, the Storm Princess was astounded to find her magic power, reliant on controlling the gale, vanished, and the enemy warships broke through the storm, quickly advancing towards them.

Pan Ruiyi also felt the magic power within her vanish in an instant, even faintly aching.

"Delaney is a Reality Manipulator! And the strongest kind— we have to avoid her edge!" Pan Ruiyi had to pull back.

"Damn—" The Storm Princess also hurriedly retreated.

"Our fleet is here too, retreat quickly!" The Netherworld Thunder God retreated to within the range of their own warplanes and shuttle machines for cover.

"The enemy’s magic power has been destroyed!"

"As expected from our Reality Manipulator!"

Countless missiles, bullets, and sniper ammunition rained down on the now vulnerable Nestor Corporation Witch Assault Team in the sky, they retreated in disarray, and many witches were hit and fell!

"In the name of Lord Dilnai, expel all unclean souls!" Delaney reached forward, a halo of holiness appearing behind her head.

"It’s the Saints!"

"Divine intervention!"

"Lord Dilnai’s protection has arrived!"

"No one can surpass Lord Dilnai’s retribution... Truth stands with us!" The morale of the Lighthouse Core’s troops soared.

The music of the Sky Kingdom echoed across the sky.

After defeating the Nestor Corporation for a while, reinforcements from the Lighthouse Core rushed in. Though the first line of defense was lost, they could prepare in the heavily fortified areas that followed, and without the Storm Princess controlling the skies, their fleet, missiles, and air superiority were significantly boosted.

"Well done!" Commander Sebastian Delacruz of New Taixi State nodded excitedly.

"Does righteousness stand with us?"

"Indeed, the power of the divine is endless!" The staff room of New Taixi State was equally elated.

"Damn it..."

"Reality Manipulator..." The witches of Nestor Corporation could not sense the slightest presence of magic power, forced to retreat, unable to pursue aggressively.

Dilnai’s angels soared in the sky, continuing to stabilize the Anchorage Isthmus, barely holding the defensive line, forming a heavenly army wall of angels that descended from the sky, guarding the line, blocking Nestor Corporation’s missile bombardment, yet allowing their long-range weapons to launch back, bombarding the Eastern Hemisphere Allied Forces’ front lines fiercely.

Countless newly established facilities were shattered to pieces, many areas were bombed into scorched earth by nukes, forcing the living forces to retreat.

The first day of battle was indeed intense, and for the soldiers on both sides, used to bloody conflict, such a grand scene was a first in six years.

Commander Sebastian sat in his flagship command post contemplating the next strategic move. The Eastern Hemisphere Allied Forces came with the attitude of reigning over and controlling the New Taixi State, and they had no choice but to fight back with all their might, no matter the sacrifice of soldiers, they must protect their "Manifest Destiny."

The corporate system was perfected in the New Taixi State, they developed the most superior civilization on this God-given fertile land...!

"Their transport planes are very vulnerable when descending, we can launch a night assault when night falls," one staff member suggested.

"I’m afraid today will be very long," Sebastian checked the sky.

At this moment, a fiery war chariot traversed the sky, with a blazing warhorse pulling the vehicle across the skies, a Titan giant in heavy armor arrived on the battlefield, it was Yan Duo. Perhaps it wouldn’t act, but it would illuminate the battlefield, leaving no place for plots and schemes to hide, bringing perpetual daylight to the entire battlefield.

Clerics poured silver holy water on the table, the flow traces on the surface subtly changing, forming some mysterious symbols that only professional priests could decipher.

"We will hunt the sun itself, cutting off the huge hand covering our homeland," the priest conveyed Dilnai’s will.

"Deploy the Repulsion Beam to attack it," Sebastian ordered quickly, the repulsion weapon was one of the Lighthouse Core’s important secret technologies, the emitted repulsion stream could decompose everything, tearing apart all matter on an atomic scale along its path.

Dilnai himself refined it with star technology, making it a weapon sufficient to kill a Star Deity.

Sebastian was well familiar with the power of the Repulsion Beam, once anything was hit, it would turn into a thin mist of energy and dust. In combating the giant lifeforms of the Mist Forbidden Zone, many conventional weapons couldn’t cause damage, only the repulsion beam could pierce them, even tearing them apart completely, leaving scattered material fragments, marking a significant technological victory for the Lighthouse Core.

Repulsion Beam main cannons burst forth from the warships, targeting Yan Duo, unaware in the sky.

...

At this moment, at the other end of the Anchorage Isthmus, within the Nestor Corporation’s line, Farosa reappeared, quickly walking to the camp.

A figure sat cross-legged quietly on the mat, its demeanor serene, attitude solemn.

"They used a Reality Manipulator, let me use your body, with my control, you can be more effective. But only this time, after that, I won’t care about you. Go wherever you want," Farosa said calmly.

"...Yes." Huang Feng opened his eyes.
