Chapter 368: The Enemy Not Only Refuses to Surrender, But Dares to Counterattack Us

The sky shattered like glass, one piece after another, with dense cracks spreading across the firmament; from time to time, fissures would tear open, revealing the pitch-black, ink-like abyss beneath.

Countless spaceships cast from silver metal flew out from the fissures in an orderly fashion, sweeping across the heavens in a grand, imposing procession.

"What is that?" Countless people looked up in terror, staring at the warships in the sky with expressions of confusion and bewilderment.

Has the end of the world come? Or have aliens invaded?

At this moment, the ordinary daily life constructed by the joint efforts of the major pantheons was torn apart; ordinary people could only hide in their houses, trembling, waiting for the arrival of the natural disaster.

This was a true natural disaster, a disaster that transcended mortal understanding, a disaster that no one could resist.

"Hmm, so it's finally time, is it?"

In Kyoto, Su Nian looked up at the distant fleet, a look of anticipation on his face.

It was worth the effort he spent manually crafting a passage, and even deliberately letting certain fellows enter the DXD World.

"It was worth all the time I spent preparing."

Su Nian stretched his limbs and said.

Just then, a golden figure shrouded in holy light appeared abruptly by Su Nian's side.

Through the hazy glow, the God of the Bible, hidden beneath the holy light, revealed a graceful form.

At the same moment, the petite Great Red, still unfamiliar with a human body, also appeared by Su Nian's side.

She looked at the sky with a grave expression.

The two stood by Su Nian's side, gazing at the sky, gazing at the incoming spaceships, their expressions heavy.

"In the end, we still let them in..."

The God of the Bible let out a sigh of regret; after all, her thousands of years of preparation were meant to prevent an invasion by the Mechanical Empire.

On the other side, Great Red was angrily making threats toward Su Nian.

"Su Nian, if you fail and get everyone killed, I will haunt you even if I become a ghost."

"Now that you mention it, I'm actually a bit tempted to give up."

Su Nian curled his lips, saying it heartlessly.

"Come to think of it, I haven't tried what a ghost tastes like yet."

"You!"

Great Red was furious.

At this moment, the God of the Bible warned.

"They are starting to disperse their forces, preparing to take action."

Above the sky, apart from the most luxurious and largest flagship leading the way, the other spaceships flew toward different locations.

——

Inside the spaceship.

【Ghost God】 Regalzeva sat on his throne, looking at the display screen sent by the forward detectors.

Seeing the signals appearing everywhere on the screen, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"This was dismantled quite thoroughly; I really don't know how they managed to take apart Brother Rahu."

Regalzeva looked at the six locations with the strongest signals on the map and couldn't help but shake his head.

"It seems Brother Rahu didn't suffer too serious damage; although he was dismantled, the components are still complete. We can just find them and reassemble them later."

"Have the other ships go search for Brother Rahu's parts."

"Yes, Lord Regalzeva."

Moon King Hazu knelt on the ground and asked in a low voice.

"Then how should we handle the ordinary life forms of this world?"

"How else would we handle them?"

Regalwaze was surprised for a moment and said quite unhappily.

"Handle them according to past practice: send out soldiers to clear them, collect data, and if you encounter any valuable samples, capture them and send them to the research department to serve as a reference for our country's new models!"

"Yes!"

The crew inside the spaceship answered loudly in electronic voices, and then the countless spaceships behind them flew toward different locations.

While the crew was taking action, Regalzeva sat in his seat, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, his face heavy.

"Strange, a sense of crisis has been appearing since just now; where exactly is it coming from?"

——

Kyoto, Yasaka Shrine.

Watching the spaceships disperse their forces and fly to all parts of the world, the God of the Bible could not help but remind him.

"Su Nian, if you don't act now, the mechanical soldiers will be deployed."

"By then, the casualties will be too great to clean up..."

"What are you panicking about? If the commotion isn't big enough, how am I supposed to earn Merit? How am I supposed to cover up the truth that you have been resurrected?"

Su Nian shook his head helplessly and gave the God of the Bible an unhappy look.

"Rest assured, other than the fact that the commotion might be a bit loud this time, I can guarantee that not a single mortal will be harmed."

Having said this, Su Nian looked up at the largest spaceship and couldn't help but nod.

"Why didn't I notice before that that spaceship seems quite nice?"

"Don't tell me you're thinking of robbing their spaceship..."

The God of the Bible muttered in a low voice.

"I'm not just thinking of robbing their spaceship, I'm also thinking of robbing their empire."

Su Nian curled his lip and said; if he just gave up on such a massive Mechanical Empire that spanned hundreds of worlds, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Besides, when did you become such a fussbudget? I didn't even notice."

Su Nian looked at the God of the Bible, who still seemed to want to say something, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Given the current situation, he didn't even know how he could possibly lose, so why was the God of the Bible still being so cautious?

Not to mention the already upgraded and enhanced system, which could fully exert a limited World Domination Right in this world.

As long as one was on Earth, within the system's coverage, even a Four-Digit Exceptional wielding an Authority would inevitably be suppressed.

Not to mention Great Red and Ophis, who, under Su Nian's training, had already developed their own unique Authorities; it wouldn't be very difficult for the two of them to join forces and defeat that Mechanical Evil God.

For a Pure-blooded Dragon Species, fighting above one's rank is not difficult.

"Uh..."

The God of the Bible fell silent upon hearing this, her cheeks, hidden beneath the holy light, flushing slightly for a moment.

"After all, this is my homeland; it's only right for me to make whatever preparations I can, isn't it?"

Although she was already well-prepared, the God of the Bible always wondered if she could be even more prepared.

For this reason, she had troubled Su Nian quite a bit.

As of now, she already owed Su Nian tens of billions of Thousand Eyes Gold Coins, having practically sold herself entirely to him.

"Alright, alright."

Su Nian waved his hand speechlessly; he finally understood what those who follow the 'Way of Caution' were like.

"They are almost here; it's time to go activate the system."

Su Nian narrowed his eyes and looked toward the spaceship that was preparing to dock at the Gate of Heaven.

Then, Su Nian took a step forward and appeared at the entrance of the Gate of Heaven.

Rumble!

The massive and heavy Gate of Heaven slowly pulled open!

A tall, giant figure that seemed to cover the sun stood there, leading a mechanical servant, looking at Su Nian with a solemn expression.

"I thought I would need to blast open this gate forged from rare materials."

Regalwaze gazed at Su Nian, his tone slightly surprised.

"I didn't expect you to open the gate voluntarily. Is your so-called reliance these creatures behind you that look like High Elves and are called Angels?"

As a Mechanical Life form, Regalwaze's five eyes were all the latest Life Detectors from the Exe World.

When he looked at Su Nian, streams of observational data continuously flooded into his Data Core; just from a preliminary analysis, he could gradually grasp Su Nian's status.

"Physical strength, energy fluctuations, body composition... unable to detect."

"What kind of new concealment technology did you use? I'm curious, can you tell me?"

"Just a common Anti-reconnaissance Gift."

Su Nian said indifferently, looking at Regalzeva with some boredom, pondering how to deal with the other party.

Should he control him? Sell him? Or dismantle him?

After all, Su Nian had no interest in this guy; he wasn't even as good as Rahu, the head of the Seven Luminaries.

At least he carried the name of a Demon Ancestor, which piqued his interest.

"Gift? What kind of new technology is that?"

Regalwaze showed a curious expression. He took a step forward, his seven-meter-tall figure blocking the sunlight and casting Su Nian into shadow.

"Honestly, this technology of yours has piqued my interest. It feels like a waste to kill you."

"Oh?"

Su Nian raised an eyebrow and looked at Regalzeva with a slightly strange expression.

The latter pondered for a moment, looked Su Nian up and down, and then said in a deep voice.

"How about this."

"You provide this technology to us, and in return, you can join the Imperial Academy of Sciences. I will also give up on occupying this world and only exterminate 90% of the life forms."

"How is this condition?"

Regalzeva said this, and without waiting for Su Nian's reply, he looked indifferently at the Angels behind Su Nian.

"Of course, you can freely decide the scope of the remaining 10%. I assume your forces shouldn't exceed ten percent, right?"

"In this way, you can become the ruler of this world without any effort. What do you think of this?"

"Sounds like a pretty good deal."

Su Nian stroked his chin; no wonder Indra was tempted.

However, he still asked with some curiosity.

"But why exterminate ninety percent of the life forms? Does that have any meaning?"

"Of course it has meaning."

Regalwaze said with a firm tone.

"Although I said 'exterminate' verbally, in reality, it means bringing the combat data and experimental subjects of these life forms back to the Empire to serve as research material."

"And besides, compared to managing troublesome living bodies, corpses are easier to study."

"Do you understand now?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian revealed an expression of sudden realization.

"It seems you understand."

Regalwaze lowered his head slightly, looking down at Su Nian below, and asked solemnly.

"So, what is your answer?"

"I refuse."

Su Nian grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said with a languid expression.

"I think you seem to have misunderstood the power dynamic."

Su Nian raised his hand at this moment, pointing at the silver-white spaceship full of sci-fi aesthetics parked nearby.

"I want this spaceship, and as for you all, I want you too."

"Kneel and submit now, and there is still time."

"Uh..."

Regalwaze was silent for two seconds, then finally let out a sigh.

"Why must you refuse me?"

"Actually, we quite need your technology."

Regalzeva raised that massive mechanical arm high, opening a giant palm.

"It is rare that I wanted to try a peaceful invasion, why did you have to refuse?"

Black-purple mist emerged from his massive palm; the moment that mist appeared, it distorted the atmosphere, causing the surrounding space to hum, and faintly, cracks like those on glass appeared.

"Since you refused me..."

"Then go die!!"

With a boom! Regalzeva's giant hand pressed down!

Su Nian shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"I gave you a chance."

Then he curled the corners of his mouth again and said.

"The enemy not only refuses to surrender, but dares to fight back against us."

"So I will accept your Mechanical Empire; I will thank you for such a great gift you have delivered to me."

Su Nian tapped lightly to catch the descending palm and smiled.

"Do you have any objections? Regalzeva?"

The next moment, Regalwaze's electronic eyes flickered a few times, and he raised his hand, knelt on one knee, and said to Su Nian.

"Your Holiness the Holy Son, I have no objections; all of this is what our Mechanical Empire deserves!"

"Done!!"

Su Nian clapped his hands happily.
