The Fall of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters

Aside from a few Imperial Arms that piqued Selene's interest, most of them were nothing more than toys or decorative items to her. She wasn't impressed by the staff that could summon danger beasts, which the enemy had been wielding. So, when faced with his provocation, and recognizing him as an enemy, Selene instinctively struck without mercy, crushing both him and his Imperial Arm into dust...

As the imaginary number claw dissipated, Selene looked at the mangled remains of the corpse and suddenly felt a pang of regret. "Ugh... I think I was too hasty. That Imperial Arm is probably beyond repair now..."

But to the Revolutionary Army leaders, who had just resurfaced from the underground, Selene's momentary hesitation appeared to be a sign of the aftereffects of using her Imperial Arm's secret technique. They instantly grew ecstatic.

"This is our chance! Attack and kill her! Don't waste the opportunity Buhr created!"

Buzzing—

Seizing the moment when Selene was "weakened," one of the Revolutionary Army leaders dashed forward, closing the distance to Selene in an instant.

The metal gauntlet on his hand transformed into a rapidly spinning drill, with the terrifying speed of rotation whipping the surrounding air into a vortex of gas.

"Die!"

With a shout, the Revolutionary Army leader thrust the long, slender drill toward Selene's face, determined to take advantage of this perfect opportunity to kill her.

But.

BOOM—CLANG—ZZZZ...

"Impossible!"

He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The drill, a ministerial weapon with pinpoint attack power surpassing even some Imperial Arms, could normally pierce several meters of steel without resistance. Yet, this seemingly delicate finger, adorned with what looked like an extravagant ornament, had effortlessly stopped his spinning drill.

No leverage, no technique—just sheer, raw power had halted his ministerial weapon. "You... you can't be human, can you?" The Revolutionary Army leader fell into a brief stupor.

"Ah... maybe not."

Selene replied coldly, and without changing her expression, she pointed her finger.

Simulation—Repulsive Force, Instantaneous Single Point Release!

BOOM!!!

The ground beneath them instantly cracked as the repulsive force shattered the drill weapon at Selene's fingertip. The man wielding it was instantly reduced to dust.

The only downside was that, with Selene's heightened vision, she witnessed the entire gruesome scene in vivid detail when the repulsive force tore the enemy apart.

In her eyes, there was never anything like "artistic beauty." First, the skin was stripped away, followed by the exposure of internal organs. Then, only a bare skeleton remained, until finally, everything was ground into dust by the overwhelming force.

Although it was grotesque, Selene had seen it so many times that she had grown numb to it... She could turn off her enhanced vision, but there was no need.

From her vantage point in the sky, Selene observed the devastation below. Starting from the point where her finger had touched, a terrifyingly deep trench had formed, fanning out in front of her. The average depth of this chasm was an astounding fifty meters.

This concentrated burst of power required even more control than the indiscriminate shockwave of repulsive force she could generate from her body.

"She's used such a powerful Imperial Arm secret technique... yet she still has this much energy left? Is she a monster?"

Seeing yet another one of his top fighters killed, the Revolutionary Army leader finally understood the origin of the great calamity foretold by their diviner.

At that moment, the Revolutionary Army guards stationed on the outskirts of the fortress arrived. They looked upon the devastation of their headquarters and Selene, who was calmly retracting her hand.

"Attack!"

The newly arrived Revolutionary Army soldiers instantly grasped the situation. They showed no fear as they charged toward Selene with their weapons raised.

"Retreat... cough, cough... Everyone fall back... don't engage! You're throwing your lives away... cough, cough..."

Tim, the head of the Revolutionary Army's intelligence division, was on his knees, coughing up blood. The Imperial Arm he wielded, Immovable Fortress·[Defender], had been destroyed, and his physical and mental energy were severely depleted.

As the head of intelligence, Tim immediately recognized who they were dealing with—white hair, crimson diamond-shaped pupils, and a silver armor-like Imperial Arm. These distinguishing features could only belong to one person.

"She's the second-in-command of the Empire's military, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Selene."

"Run for your lives!"

Selene responded coldly, "Oh... even at death's door, you still care about others... Don't worry, none of you are getting out alive. You'll all die here."

"Abyssal Chain!"

From within the depths of imaginary number energy, Selene materialized a black and white spear, adorned with streaks of gold and red, appearing out of thin air.

Under her control, the Abyssal Spear morphed into a flexible, razor-sharp ribbon.

"No, stop!" Seeing the impending attack, Tim dragged his weakened body, screaming in desperation.

In the last remaining Revolutionary Army leaders' eyes, wide with terror, the Abyssal Chain silently swept through the charging Revolutionary Army soldiers.

...

Wherever it passed, there was no sound, and the soldiers who had been charging forward suddenly froze.

The scene became eerily silent. Then, all of a sudden—

BOOM————!

A continuous series of thunderous crashes erupted. The entire fortress complex of the Revolutionary Army headquarters, the vast stretches of the ancient forest, and even the towering mountains in the distance, all began to tilt and collapse!

As if triggered by a signal, along with the crashing trees and collapsing terrain, the towering figures of the Revolutionary Army soldiers also began to fall one by one. The ground was littered with blood-soaked limbs and bodies—a truly horrifying sight.

"No..."

Tim, the Revolutionary Army leader, and the few remaining Revolutionary Army commanders who had survived could only stand there, mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.

It was all over. The Revolutionary Army's well-trained elite forces, cultivated over many years, were completely wiped out. There were no survivors left in their headquarters.

Watching this horrific display from the shadows, Esdeath's face was filled with admiration. When she grew up, she was determined to become as powerful as General Selene!

"You monster!" Trembling, one of the surviving Revolutionary Army leaders pointed at Selene and screamed with all his might.

Knowing there was no chance of escaping from Selene, the Revolutionary Army leader calmed down, his emotions settling as he spoke. "Selene, do you think that by destroying our headquarters, you can wipe out the Revolutionary Army?"

"Our comrades have already spread across the world. The Empire will fall one day, and the Revolutionary Army will prevail!"

"Oh, we'll see about that... but everything ends here." With that, Selene raised her right hand, and a thousand violet-red orbs materialized in the sky.

"Strong Nuclear Force: Void Domain Descent!"

As her cold voice echoed, all the violet-red orbs burst into motion simultaneously, exploding with blinding light that turned the sky above the Revolutionary Army's headquarters as bright as day.

Under the violet-red sky, the blood-soaked and shattered fortress looked even more terrifying and eerie.

In the next instant, each orb sprouted thousands of slender violet-red beams, cutting through the air with a sharp whistle.

Like a torrential downpour, the beams rained down upon the ground in a wild barrage.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

An endless series of explosions erupted, causing the surrounding air to shudder violently.

From a distance, it looked as if a rain of lasers had begun to fall from the sky—beautiful yet deadly beyond measure.
