Chapter 4969: At this very moment, the more technologically advanced a country on Earth, the more panicked it feels!

The equally massive swarm of bat armor crashed into the insectoid horde with a thunderous roar, like an egg striking a stone. The insectoid army was instantly torn apart, purple fluid flooding the Martian surface.

Liu Mei and Xia Donghai entered with Xia Xue and Liu Xing and immediately saw this scene. Liu Mei rolled her eyes and nearly fainted from shock. Luckily, Xia Donghai moved quickly and caught her just in time.

"Uh… didn't expect Mars to look like this. Haha!" Xia Donghai forced out a weak smile. He was just as panicked as she was.

"Don't worry—you're perfectly safe," Liu Xing sensed their unease and immediately reassured them. "And if you truly can't accept this, you can still go back right now!"

"…No." Though her legs still trembled, Liu Mei clenched her teeth, summoned her strength, and forced herself to stand. She stared intently at the opposite side.

At this moment, Xia Xue and Liu Xing stood here, watching the terrifying scene across from them—with complete calmness. What did this indicate?

It indicated they had likely participated in such events before… they just hadn't known it until now.

Though terrified of the monsters across from her, Liu Mei feared losing her two children even more. The moment she imagined the life-threatening dangers Xia Xue and Liu Xing might have faced before, her whole body shook—so much so that even the monsters across from her no longer frightened her…

027 Su Han glanced at Liu Mei but said nothing. He continued watching the battlefield with interest, while also diverting part of his attention to the society chatroom.

Let the world feel pain: "That's terrifying."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "…Isn't this level of battle nothing to you?"

Wugeng Liuli's expression was strangely odd.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "The 'terrifying' he's talking about? Probably one punch = super terrifying, one kick = super base."

Yuan Da Gu: "Hmm… are you also Huang Yuan?"

Gao Ban realm: "Huang Yuan is so damn ridiculous."

Sakata Gintoki: "I'm pondering a very serious question! Why doesn't Batman just deploy his full army right now and obliterate the enemy's two bases?"

Gao Ban Tongnai's brows were tightly furrowed. He couldn't fathom it.

Gao Ban Tongnai: "Look—the number of insects and star spirits here, though large… is still just that. After Batman and Ni Hui Shiyeye both struck, the enemy's bases spilled out enemies like a dam breaking."

Gao Ban Tongnai: "At this point, severing the enemy's source of reinforcements and then surrounding and annihilating the remnants—that's the most straightforward, correct strategy, right?"

Yuki Yukinoshita: "I'm also puzzled by this! But considering Batman's intelligence… I believe he has his reasons."

Yuki Yukinoshita remained utterly calm.

Edogawa Conan: "Simple! Right now, only large-scale enemies have appeared—these enemies pose too little threat to Ni Hui Shiyeye and Batman."

Oosaka Taiga: "????"

Oosaka Taiga was completely stunned. If the threat is small, shouldn't you press the advantage? Wasting time only lets the enemy grow stronger and pose a greater threat later.

L: "Conan didn't explain clearly… I'll clarify: the main reason is, the true enemy—the Star Soul—hasn't appeared yet. It's possible the opponent is hiding in another world…"

L: "Under these circumstances, if we display overwhelming power, that guy might just blow up the portal between the two worlds and retreat into the other world entirely."

L: "Then… this mission would essentially be a failure. Unless the president acts…"

L gave a bitter laugh and added one final remark.

L: "But given Batman and Ni Hui Shiyeye's personalities, their prior actions must have already ruled out the president stepping in. They're plotting on their own."

Gudako: "I see."

Gudako's face lit up with sudden understanding.

Sazex: "This is probably… the fundamental reason Batman and Ni Hui Shiyeye haven't deployed their full strength yet?"

Ni Hui Shiyeye: "Partly… but another part is—the enemy is genuinely strong."

Ni Hui Shiyeye: "The Divine Race soldiers—even the lowest-ranking ones—could match a Three-Digit in the Box World. As for the heroes among them, even the weakest are at the peak of Three-Digit, and some of their attacks have already touched Two-Digit."

Ni Hui Shiyeye: "Individually, the insects are far weaker than the Divine Race. But collectively, the insectoid horde is terrifying. Their powers merge—every attack is a coordinated strike."

Though the society chatroom spoke of terror, Ni Hui Shiyeye's face was filled with arrogance and exhilaration.

Every movement of his radiated a terrifying sense of pressure and destruction… vast, surging energy surged outward, obliterating everything in its path.

Hatsune Miku: "!!!!!!"

Ryūgū Rina: "…If fighting the enemy is this hard, why are you still typing in the society chat?"

Ryūgū Rina's expression was subtly odd.

Batman: "Multitasking… is that hard?"

Izumi Saya: "?!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "…"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Pfft, Bruce—you're just piloting the Batman armor with AI assistance! What the hell are you talking about?"

Tony Stark ranted furiously. Batman had the nerve to say that, without even looking at how different his situation was from Ni Hui Shiyeye's.

Gao Ban Tongnai: "Tsk tsk… I'm curious… if this battle happened on Earth…"

Gao Ban Tongnai: "Dead. Three-Digit Divine Race basic soldiers… what does that even mean? In other words, one single ordinary Divine Race soldier could destroy Earth. Not to mention if the battle took place on Earth…"

Gao Ban Tongnai: "F***, even basic soldiers can destroy planets… this power system description made me almost think this was Long Zhu."

Gao Ban realm: "??? Long Zhu got dissed again?"

Oosaka Taiga: "Angry, trembling, cold—when will my Long Zhu world finally rise up?"

One-Way Street: "Isn't it already risen? After fusing with my Mahou Tsukai no Index world!"

One-Way Street dropped a deadpan joke.

Hatsune Miku: "…"

Elneist: "That gave me goosebumps."

Fujiwara no Saa: "Long Zhu weeps."

Minako Nanakori: "Though shocking, I figured it's normal. These are enemies worth 350,000 points! If they didn't have this power, that'd be weird."

Chu Zihang: "If not for the president strengthening the Solar System, the battle's aftershocks would've reached Earth—even the Sun."

Chu Zihang: "Shattering every planet in the Solar System—including the Sun—would be perfectly normal."

Hakkai Kenxin: "Hmm… I remember! The human tech in Liu Xing's world has reached quite an advanced stage, right?"

Hakkai Kenxin: "They should be able to observe everything in the Solar System… meaning they can also see the battle on Mars?"

Ju Bei Ling Yin: "!!!!"

Mahou Shoujo Naito: "... Probably, maybe, perhaps it's like that."

Aikawa Ayumu: "That depends on whether the president happened to block the information earlier... but personally, I think the president didn't block the information."

Su Xiao Xiao: "That's true."

Tsuchimikado Ume: "!!!"

Kafuu Chino: "Terrifying."

Lelouch: "On Earth today, the more advanced a nation's technology, the more Martian information it can control... and its inner anxiety must also be greater."
