Crusading with Emperor Sirzechs (2)

Sirzechs was aware that with his power, they could practically fight anything below the Tier 12 and even multiple Tier 11 experts.

Of course, there was still a chance to encounter somebody with the Heaven Defying Battle Power, but chances for that were very low.

Heaven Defying Battle Power was a term typically used in the cultivation-based Universes, but across the Void, it became a common standard.

It was basically a name for anyone with combat prowess that is able to fight high above his own power tier.

For example, Sirzechs, while was Tier 9, could fight against Tier 10, and that was his own power system, which is based on the comprehension of Laws.

So compared to other weaker cultivation systems, his combat prowess would be even higher.

"Attention to all personnel! Enemy incoming! Everyone at their positions!"

Sounded the voice of the ship's A.I. across the Void ship, and similar scenes occurred around the entire Fleet as everyone was getting ready for the upcoming fight with the incoming enemies.

"And it appears that the peaceful time has ended."

Sirzechs stated Cleria agreed with him on that thing before they went to combat.

As they were energy signatures approaching the Expeditionary Fleet, they needed to act appropriately because there was almost guaranteed that enemies would have minimally one Tier 11 powerhouse.

With Sirzechs, 9th Army Yesod Keepers were present, under the leadership of their Lord General Feng Xiu, who had already reached Tier 10.

And a few others also reached Tier 10 across many of the Military Branches of the Empire or the Major Noble Houses.

"Lord Admiral, they are already in range of our weapons."

Reported one of the staff to the Lord Admiral from the Navis Imperialis, who was dressed in the standard navy uniform, heavily decorated with various medals and awards, as he smoked a cigar.

"To all ships, you are free to fire; focus on the sure-to-kill ones."

The Lord Admiral puffed out smoke as he gave out the order, and not even a second later, all hundreds of the Voidships of different Classes started bombarding the incoming enemy at their top power.

Sure-to-kill targets were a designation for the enemies that the artillery could kill surely.

So, for example, if the Voidship can kill at least a Tier 9 enemy, it won't be attacking the Tier 10 enemy, whom it doesn't have a chance to injure.

"10% of the enemies have been eliminated, and the number is increasing, though those are mostly from the vassal species of the Venan Race. The Venans themselves are mainly unbothered by our artillery barrage."

Reported one of the staff once more, as the Lord Admiral nodded, predicting such an outcome.

Yet even this was a good result because the battlefield was cleared for their experts to fight, and they considerably lowered their numbers.

It was clear that the Venans planned to engage them in the space for whatever reason, but the one which was the most probable was the fact that any fight between them would result in large collateral damage on the plane itself, something that Venans wanted to prevent.

Meanwhile, during the time, the Voidfleets were bombarding the incoming experts of the Venan Race and their vassals to intercept them.

Sirzecchs was already levitating in the vast emptiness of the space, together with some of the high Tier experts from the Chthonian Empire.

Aside from Sirzechs, a few notable individuals of the Chthonian Empire were Feng Xiu, Ddraig Y. Goch or Diehauser Belial, who were all Tier 10 individuals with fearsome combat prowess to back them up.

Soon enough, the artillery barrage of the Voidfleet stopped because the incoming enemies were already pretty close to them, and right now, the fight would be moving in the close-combat direction.

"There is only one Tier 11 expert... one from the Venans; I will be taking care of him; the rest of you take care of Venans or other species."

Sirzechs ordered the people around him, as he soon saw the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race. It was a purple-skinned muscular humanoid with shining blue eyes, wearing golden armor that fitted him very well, not covering his entire body, but only mainly the weak parts.

Without any warning and before they could reach, Sirzechs unleashed the full might of his Path, as endless waves of crimson-black energy of destruction materialized all around them, and like enormous tsunamis, they attacked incoming enemies.

Sirzech's Path was named The Star Extinguisher, a combination of Law of Destruction, Devour, Darklight, and a few other Laws, and because of that, the crimson-black energy of pure uncontained destruction was sparkling.

Compared to Zekram's own variant due to his Path as Incarnation of Destruction, which was refined, perfectly contained, and controlled, but Sirzech's own was nothing like that.

It was wild and uncontained, a primal form of the destruction itself, taking along everything it touched.

Seeing what was coming for them, the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race stepped forward, and with the greatsword he was holding in his hand, with a swift wave, sent a slash of energy, which cut the destruction like a tsunami in half, in attempt to dissipate it.

Unfortunately for him, while he split it in half, he didn't stop or disperse, so he decided to use a special technique to protect himself from the destructive energy, which had already annihilated a few weaker experts under his command.

Other experts on his side instantly hurried behind him, where they took cover, not anticipating that the tsunami of the crimson-black energy suddenly turn around and attack them from the back, forcing the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race to take out some protective artifact.

When he took out that small orb, he threw it above his head, and instantly a translucent barrier appeared around them, which was effortlessly blocking the attacks from the Sirzech's Path.

Sirzechs knew that it was something that his Ancestor created, and it was a futile attempt to break it through the raw force.
