its second cycle, and I saw the moment it happened with a kind of clarity that stuck in my mind longer than I wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, he was standing there with his weapon half-raised, and the next, there was a clean hole through his chest where his divine core had been, the compression blast having passed straight through him without resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say anything, didn’t even have time to react properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body simply dropped onto the stone courtyard like something that had been cut loose, blood already spreading beneath him in a dark, widening pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move forward, now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We broke into a run toward the gates, and more defenders started appearing along the walls above us, first a handful, then more behind them until dozens were lining the height of the structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hands lit up with charged divine energy, the glow casting sharp light across their faces as they prepared to fire, and I could see the exact moment they understood what we were and why we were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get the barrier up, now!\" Torres’s voice cut through everything, sharp and controlled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three soldiers activated their arrays at the same time, and the shield formed over us just as the first wave of attacks came down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolts hit hard, sending bright flashes rippling across the barrier’s surface, the light forcing my eyes to narrow as the impacts stacked one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield held, but I could feel the strain running through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breaching team, on the gates!\" Christina’s voice came through my earpiece, steady in a way that felt almost unreal compared to the chaos around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four soldiers broke formation and sprinted ahead, reaching the massive doors in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They placed the charges quickly, hands moving with the confidence of people who had done this so many times that it no longer required thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosions followed, not wide or loud in the way normal blasts would be, but tight and focused, punching inward through the reinforced metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edges of the breach glowed red as the material warped under the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gates gave way with a deep, grinding sound, and we pushed through the opening before the defenders could reorganize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the courtyard was already filling with Court soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were at least fifty of them, forming up in proper lines, their movements controlled and disciplined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore real divine-grade armor, not ceremonial pieces, and their weapons carried a steady hum of contained divine energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Counter-resonance rifles, fire!\" I ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six rifles discharged together, the sound sharp and unnatural, like something tearing through the air itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect spread across the enemy formation in a wave that had no visible shape, yet its impact was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their energy destabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw it in their reactions, in the way their expressions shifted from focus to confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barriers flickered and collapsed before they could form properly, weapons lost their charge, and techniques failed mid-activation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a few minutes, they were stripped down to nothing but their bodies and whatever skill they could manage without divine support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Push forward!\" I was already moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We hit them before they could recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLAT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first soldier in front of me barely had time to react before my blade went through his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt the resistance of flesh, then the give as it pushed through, and when I pulled it free, the blood came with it, hot and immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed, hands going to his neck, trying to hold something that couldn’t be held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another opponent stepped in, trying to form a weapon that kept breaking apart in her hands as the disruption interfered with her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at me with panic starting to show, and I ended it quickly, one clean strike that dropped her before she could even finish forming the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around me, our soldiers moved in pairs, one disrupting, the other finishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t need to speak or hesitate, as months of training had turned them into something that worked without needing explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Court soldier managed to stabilize his energy enough to form a barrier, pushing back against us with a surge of force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torres reacted immediately, throwing a containment array in a smooth motion that sent it spinning across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The device activated just as the soldier tried to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The field locked around him, his own energy turning inward, tightening the hold the more he struggled against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"UAGRGH... HEEEELPP!!!!!!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HELP!!!!!!!2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started shouting, panic clear in his voice, and then one of our soldiers stepped in and drove a blade through his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gamma Squad, move to the inner courtyard!\" Christina’s voice came through again. \"Delta Squad, secure this area. Epsilon, cover the rear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a second to look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard was covered in bodies already, most of them in Court armor, though a few of ours lay among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t time to count, and there wasn’t time to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We moved on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner courtyard opened ahead of us, larger, more open, and filled with even more defenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least a hundred this time, and at the center of them stood two figures who didn’t need an introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven-star True Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their presence alone made the air feel heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rifles won’t hold them for long!\" Torres called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t need to!\" I answered, already moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Focus on the others. Leave them to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went straight for the first one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to bring out his domain, and I felt the pressure of it starting to form, space itself shifting as his authority pushed outward to reshape everything around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, our interference devices were activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His domain faltered, instability spreading through it before it could fully form. His expression changed, confusion replacing confidence as he tried to adjust, but it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure collapsed back in on itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backlash hit him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered, his body reacting to the internal damage, and I closed the distance before he could recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLAT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My blade drove up through his jaw and into his head, ending it before he could even understand what had gone wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second one didn’t make the same mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t try to form a domain. Instead, she shaped raw energy into a weapon and came at me with speed that spoke of long experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I barely avoided the first strike, the blade passing close enough that I felt the air move with it. It cut straight through a stone pillar behind me as if it had been nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She attacked again without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blocked, but the force traveled through my arms, heavy enough to make it clear she had the advantage in raw strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I didn’t meet her head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let her push me back, let her believe she was forcing me into a losing position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She committed to a full strike, putting everything behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I waited until the last moment, until there was no room left for adjustment, and then I triggered the compression device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast hit her mid-swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her attack broke apart instantly, her defenses collapsing under the impact as she stumbled back, her guard completely open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I moved in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike took her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She screamed, the sound sharp and filled with anger more than fear, and before she could recover, I finished it, ending the fight before she had the chance to adapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Dammit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that my power is currently lower than that of an ordinary 7✯ Intermediate True God... tsk, unfortunately, it’s a risk I need to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around me, the battle had turned into complete chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our forces were cutting through the defenders, pushing forward with a level of coordination that came from preparation, from knowing exactly what to do and when to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was slick with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air smelled of energy discharge and iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Command, this is Alpha Squad,\" Kiera’s voice came through suddenly. \"We’ve secured the Records Department. Accessing the database now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirmed,\" Christina replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beta Squad, report.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still engaged,\" Rax answered, his voice strained, sounds of fighting clear behind him. \"Heavy resistance, and we’ve already...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transmission cut off with an explosion loud enough to carry through the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beta Squad, respond,\" Christina said, and there was a tight edge to her voice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a few seconds, there was only static.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Rax came back, breathing heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re still here. Lost four in that last hit. Reinforcements are coming from the main stronghold. We don’t have much time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold your position,\" Christina ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extraction in twenty minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could almost hear her thinking, adjusting everything in real time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gamma Squad, move to the High Chamber,\" I ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We pushed forward again, deeper into the structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fighting didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every hallway, every turn, more defenders were trying to slow us down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We cut through them quickly, not stopping, not giving them the chance to regroup. Some of them tried to hold positions, others tried to retreat, and a few even tried to talk when they realized they were losing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of it changed the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We reached the High Chamber entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four guards stood there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight-star True Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maximum output on the rifles!\" I called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shots hit all four at once, and for a brief moment, I saw them stagger, their control slipping as the disruption took hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interference units, activate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devices came online, and two of them tried to bring out their domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backlash hit them hard enough to drop one to a knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two didn’t even try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came at us directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them reached a soldier before anyone could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw it happen, and there was nothing I could do in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLAT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tore the man apart with his hands, the motion quick and brutal, leaving nothing behind that could be saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fired a compression blast at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowed him enough that he turned toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOMP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot towards me, throwing a hard punch that, because of my current power, I couldn’t react to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force sent me back hard, my body slamming into the wall with enough impact to crack the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain spread through my chest immediately, making it hard to breathe, but I pushed myself up anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping wasn’t exactly an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Containment arrays, now!\" Christina’s voice cut through again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several devices hit the ground, activating in quick succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three of the guards were caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fought it immediately, pushing back with everything they had, and I could see the strain on the arrays as they struggled to hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth was still free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He killed two more of our soldiers before Torres got behind him and drove a blade through his back, not stopping until he was sure the fight was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others weakened as the containment fields did their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Finish it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our soldiers moved in and ended it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t quick or clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time it was done, we had lost more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the entrance was ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Command to all squads,\" Christina said, and there was relief under the control now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Primary objective secured.
