Asakami Shion stood up and walked out of the strategy room holding her huge sickle.

She was not wearing shoes, and her bare feet, as white as jade, stepped on the rough floor.

Bumpy.

It has been used for too long and has not been repaired.

The floors are all polished moon-white granite.

The original surface was as smooth as a mirror, but it became roughened with use.

This cannot be forced too much.

The Empire did not send many warships to this world.

The local industrial system has not yet taken shape.

As the legion commander, it is a great honor for Asagami Shion to have the command of a warship.

The murals and statues along the way were all created by artists on board the ship.

There were also several recorders and artists on Asakami Shion's ship.

When it comes to history, empires have an equal attitude.

They wanted to record everything, and leave it to future generations to comment on it.

The interior of the battleship is not as sci-fi and neat as one might imagine.

Instead, it is very dark, with exposed steel everywhere, giving off a rugged industrial feel.

The tall ceiling is loaded with energy conduits and an intricate energy delivery network.

The Cogitators and Defense Servant were nestled into their recesses, connected by power tubes and data cables.

Immersed in cooling preservative fluid, the meditators have been specially programmed and connected to a large number of sensors and machine slaves.

When it senses an enemy, it will issue an order to the machine slave to attack the enemy.

The mechanical servants that receive the command will automatically adjust their weapons and launch devastating attacks on the enemy.

The ceiling was embedded with dim lights, so that the corridor was not completely dark.

After walking through the corridor, you will enter the bright bridge.

A captain from the Empire was examining the suspended holographic ball of light in front of him.

Asakami Shion walked towards the captain's seat.

She glanced at the situation on the bridge.

The staff are controlling the various systems of the battleship in an orderly manner.

Several players stood not far from them, observing and learning the crew's operations.

Judging from their expressions, they seem to have a great interest in operating the ship.

I want to learn from those staff members to perform the population interface surgery and use data cables to directly send the information I need to read into my brain.

The captain stood next to his work, with several cables connected to him, inputting all the data of the entire ship into his brain.

They have crossed the wall of the reincarnation game and are approaching a planetary world suspended in the void.

It is not the world where the earth is round and the sky is square, but the world where the celestial bodies are elliptical.

The world ecology of the reincarnation game is diverse.

Maybe it has something to do with their creators.

"Commander," the captain said.

Asakami Shion nodded.

"How is it going?"

"We have cut off the connection between this world and the reincarnation game and paralyzed their transmission. The Temple of the Gods and the organizations of the other two player forces are all here, but something seems wrong. Many places are shielded by the power of the subspace. I suspect they have a trick." The captain said as he swiped the holographic projection in front of him.

"Any trick will be defeated by the will of our Lord." Asagami Shiyin said calmly, "I will lead the players to launch a surprise attack. You prepare for orbital bombing. If the situation is not right, use saturation bombing."

"I understand," said the captain.

Asagami Shion walked towards the door of the bridge, "Gather all the players and go to the teleportation hall. It's time to work."

The players gathered quickly.

The huge transport deck was filled with people.

They talked to each other in low voices.

They all wore uniforms with the imperial double-headed eagle.

A world conquered by the Empire.

The surviving players have few choices: either give up their abilities or accept the call of the empire.

Like the reincarnation game, Empire also offers a large number of props for exchange.

Some of them are various relics excavated from the construction of the inter-universe tunnel.

They are all things left over from the destroyed universes or civilizations of ancient times, and they possess terrifying power of rules.

The other part was manufactured in the factory over in Universe 01.

Universe 01 has been completely eroded by chaos.

The Empire has unique conditions for manufacturing these supernatural props there.

With the help of a large number of props and the truth about the reincarnation game, the empire also recruited a group of game players to fight for them.

Hundreds of technical experts walked back and forth, providing a final check on the players' props and equipment.

When Shion Asakami arrived, the players belonging to the Purifier Legion she controlled were already ready.

They do not have the same discipline as the Imperial soldiers.

It looks very sloppy.

In a way, they are all just mercenaries.

Exchange salvation points through battles, redeem various props, and continue your evolution.

Even though they know the truth about God, they still want to become God.

Deputy Captain Gedewo walked up to Asakami Shion's side.

He is tall, has short, neat hair, is very self-disciplined and pays attention to exercise. He is an S-level player.

When Asakami Shion looked at the other person, she revealed her contempt without any concealment.

After the Empire conquered his world, Gedvo chose to surrender to the Empire without hesitation.

Through brutal means, he massacred hundreds of players who tried to oppose the empire, and suppressed several riots of tens of thousands of people, using cruelty and blood to prove his "loyalty" to the empire.

Become the deputy commander of the Purifier Corps under Shion Asakami.

This guy is a wolf, hungry and full of danger.

As long as he finds an opportunity, he will tear apart anyone who gets in his way by any means necessary.

A sophisticated egoist.

Asakami Shion could see the other party's ambition and did not hide her dislike for him.

But she still promoted this guy.

Because this guy's ambition and greed can boost the master's career and accelerate the collapse of the reincarnation game.

The Lord's cause is above everything else, including one's own emotions.

"Are you ready? Godewo." A faint smile appeared on Asakami Shion's face, pure and beautiful, so beautiful that it was beyond words.

Paired with a dark Gothic long skirt, it has a feminine charm.

Gedewo did not dare to show any disrespect.

He knew that this seemingly harmless girl had another title, the Kiss of Death, the Witch of Destruction.

The number of players who died at her hands is countless.

The once-powerful top player force, Shura Palace, was slaughtered by her alone.

"Commander, everything is ready. We will set out in six teams. This time the enemy will have no way to escape." said Gedewo.

"Very good, fight for the empire, start the teleportation." Asakami Shion tightly grasped the sickle in her hand, signaling the technical priest to prepare to teleport all players.

Following Asakami Shion's command, all the machines on the transmission deck began to hum.

The huge piston reciprocated back and forth.

The thick energy pipeline is filled with the glow of energy flow.

The gauge and the reading needle began to move.

The reaction columns embedded in the bulkhead crackled, providing energy to the space device to distort the space structure and allow two space coordinates to overlap.

Countless machines were like an ensemble, and as the rhythm reached a climax, the light released by the reaction columns became increasingly intense.

There were bursts of low groaning sounds coming from the spatial structure.

It was as if the sound was distorted by an invisible force.

With the chorus of the transmission machines, the distortion of the space structure reached its extreme.

The two space-time coordinates overlapped.

Accompanied by a flash of light, Asakami Shion and others were already standing in front of a magnificent palace, standing on a stone floor.

A statue several hundred meters high with two hands gripping a sword hilt pointing upwards and the tip of the sword pointing downwards.

On the sword were three large gold-plated characters "Temple of the Gods" written in a flamboyant style.

This player organization is one of the most terrifying forces in this reincarnation world.

The founder of the organization is the dreaded SS-level player - Xiao Tian.

He claims to be omnipotent and in control of everything.

Under his command are three top S-level players: Dragon Marshal, Tiger Marshal, and Phoenix Marshal.

There are also three thousand top generals.

The strength is terrifying.

The Temple of the Gods had long known that the invaders were coming.

Many members of the Temple of the Gods are already on high alert.

The three warmasters, wearing armor and cloaks, sat on chairs on a high platform, staring fiercely at the invaders who appeared in the main hall square along with the teleportation.

"Anyone who offends the Temple of the Gods will die." General Hu, who was sitting in the middle, stood up, with his hands behind his back, revealing his kingly and domineering aura. He spoke in a domineering manner, with an air of looking down on the world and laughing at the heroes.

"die."

"die."

"die."

Many members of the Temple of the Gods all shouted.

"Special fluctuations detected. Be careful, they have hidden tricks."

The captain's warning came over the communicator.

"Is there an ambush?" asked Asakami Shion.

"Yes, the Mechanical Sage analyzed those hidden places and found that the fluctuations increased after you landed. They tried to cut off the warp function of the ship. They wanted to take away or destroy the ship. Don't underestimate those players. They are just ignorant, which doesn't mean they are really stupid."

"How is the preparation for orbital bombardment going?" Asakami Shion casually waved her sickle, creating cracks in the air and causing tension among everyone in the Temple of Heaven.

The three war marshals also stared at each other.

The Palace Master had other plans, to take down the invaders in one fell swoop.

The three of them and many members of the Temple of the Gods were responsible for delaying the other party.

The other party was silent for a moment before speaking, "All weapon systems have been fully charged and are currently locking and scanning the enemy. We are also determining the bombing location."

"No need to confirm, just bomb in front of me." Asakami Shion looked at the members of the Temple of the Gods who were holding props, ready for battle, and showed a slightly morbid smile.

"The weapons used in orbital bombardment are very powerful. You are too close and could easily be injured by mistake."

"It's okay. For the sake of my Lord's cause, sacrifice is not something that is difficult to accept. I also have a tool that can take refuge in another dimension. Just don't use space weapons."

"Then I understand. The first round of attacks will be launched in ten seconds."

"Witch, drop your weapon immediately and surrender to the Temple of Heaven, and I will spare your life." Long Shuai also stood up, his eyes cold and he shouted loudly.

The terrifying aura was fully released.

Many players of the Temple of the Gods held their breath.

This is the power of Long Shuai.

Every move he made carried a terrible sense of oppression, which made them feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"I am really worried about your stupidity." Asakami Shion jumped up and stood in the air, as if the air had turned into a solid, and her flawless white jade feet walked like that, effortlessly.

"How arrogant." Feng Shuai also stood up, looking heroic and brave, a woman is as good as any man.

"Go to hell, you idiots." said Shion Asakami.

Wild wolves have a keen sense of smell and vision.

It is very difficult for hunters with bows and spears to attack them by surprise.

But things were completely different in the industrial age.

The hunter holds a hunting rifle that can hit targets hundreds of meters away, which can make the wolf's sense of smell and vision useless. The wolf stands there stupidly and is shot by the hunter, but has no idea where the enemy is.

Imperial ships conducted orbital bombardments thousands of kilometers above the surface.

The many players of the Temple of the Gods were like a wild wolf with keen vision and hearing. They stood there in confusion and waited for the attack from the Empire.

The player's combat effectiveness is beyond doubt.

He also possesses a variety of incredible abilities.

Danger intuition, sixth sense and many other means allow them to predict enemy attacks and take the initiative.

But it would be very difficult for them to predict an attack thousands of kilometers away.

S-level players may have this ability.

But such players are only a minority after all.

Only Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix have such ability.

Besides, having such ability and being able to dodge such attacks are two different things.

The clouds were lit up.

A tower-like light descended from the sky, instantly connecting the sky and the ground.

The magnificent palace was covered with spears of light.

The flames rushed out like a sky, the earth shook, the sky collapsed, and the earth collapsed. What a terrifying scene it was.

Everything disappeared in the cloud of fire.

The surface of the earth instantly vitrified, and only billowing steam was left within a radius of thousands of meters from the impact point.

The magnificent statue with the three big characters "Temple of the Gods" inscribed on it also disappeared.

Asakami Shion activated the space barrier, and took all the members of her Purifier Corps to another dimension, avoiding the orbital bombardment.

Rays of light fell one after another, completely covering the huge palace complex.

The bombing lasted for seven or eight minutes. Thousands of light spears fell, completely submerging the magnificent palace.

The entire palace was submerged in brilliant light.

The sounds of explosions and rising steam mixed together to create a melody of destruction.

When the bombing was over, Asakami Shion released all the members.

The palace complex that had been so majestic just now has now turned into ruins emitting heat.

The huge number of members of the Temple of the Gods have also disappeared.

There were some charred remains of corpses that were emitting heat.

Bang!

There was a loud noise.

The glazed surface was shattered and Tiger General rushed out from underground.

He used a ground prop to avoid the orbital bombardment and survived.

At this moment, he was in a miserable state, with red eyes.

The cloak was carbonized by the high temperature and turned extremely black.

The domineering word "tiger" above has also disappeared.

But this is the best ending.

Long Shuai and Feng Shuai had died tragically in the continuous bombing just now.

No remains are left.

Among the assembled members of the Temple of the Gods, only a few relied on space props to avoid the terrible bombing and survived by chance.

When they reappeared, all they saw were ruins and a surface that had been vitrified by the high temperature.

There is one player who has no means of protection from the heat and flying.

The rocks melted under the high temperature, and before they completely solidified, the player suddenly appeared and stood on them.

ah!

After a few screams, he died.

The surviving players of the Temple of the Gods looked at each other in confusion, and then looked up at the sky.

Their companions died just like that.

It's over before it even begins.

Ah! Ah!

"You have invaded the territory of the Heavenly Temple and killed so many people from our Heavenly Temple. I want you to die."

General Hu roared to the sky, let out an extremely shrill roar, shed tears of blood, and all his aura was unleashed.

"Can you scream a little quieter? I'm so scared." Asakami Shion laughed like a clear bell.

"Die." Tiger General rushed towards Qian Shang Shiyin, his aura oppressive and terrifying.

He used his S-level item, the Bloodstained Holy Armor.

An ancient, blood-stained armor covered his body, exuding a barbaric aura.

This is a piece of armor stained with the blood of gods and possesses extraordinary power.

Once power is injected into it and activated, it will reveal a terrifying aura that will shake the heaven and earth.

The breath alone is enough to crush those pathetic mortals.

The armor itself has unparalleled defensive capabilities.

Even facing a nuclear bomb attack is as easy as a breeze blowing on your face.

At this moment, with Tiger Marshal as the center, powerful energy fluctuations surged out like a roaring river, wreaking havoc in all directions.

The blood-stained armor released a dazzling light, and countless spells carrying the mysteries of ancient civilization emerged, intertwined like chains.

"Die for me." Tiger General's eyes were red and he shouted loudly. His aura swallowed up mountains and rivers for three thousand miles and his punch shocked the sixteen continents of Yanyun. He was truly terrifying.

With just one step, he shortened the distance between the two. His fists were so powerful that endless cracks appeared in the space.

His fists shone with brilliance and his aura was terrifying.

A punch landed.

With a loud bang, a large pit several meters deep appeared on the ground.

The wild and domineering aura of destruction swept through the rubble, shot through the air, leaving behind countless sounds of breaking through the air, and rushed in all directions.

The power of one punch is so terrifying.

If other members of the Temple of the Gods were still alive, I'm afraid they would all be shocked and marvel at General Hu's invincible power.

Hu Shuai's eyes shot out two sharp rays of light, and he looked through the rolling smoke and dust, trying to find the opponent's body that was beaten to pieces by him.

However, nothing was seen.

There was only a deep pit with nothing in it.

"It's amazing, what a big pit, what a powerful fist." Asakami Shion's voice came from behind Tiger Commander, full of ridicule and teasing, "Being able to pry such a powerful subspace force is quite good for a mortal creature."

"Kill." General Hu shouted in his heart and slammed out with both fists. The surging fist intent was like the ocean, terrifying and shocking, as if it was pushing endless stars, rumbling and stunning the world.

The set of holy armor on his body also shone with unparalleled light, with a power of eternal immortality, which frightened ghosts and gods and made all spirits tremble.

This time, Asakami Shion did not dodge and swung out with the sickle in her hand.

He cut off the opponent's hands at the shoulders.

Her sickle is endowed with anti-subspace force field and high-frequency vibration force field, and comes with concept rewriting, time locking, and can directly locate space coordinates.

Even if Tiger Marshal could mobilize more subspace power, he would not be able to withstand Asakami Shion's sickle.

The severe pain made Hu Shuai roar in agony.

"You don't even take a weapon? Do you think your arm is made of neutron star material!

"Asakami Shion said sarcastically, and then swung the sickle in her hand and chopped off the opponent's head.

Before his head hit the ground, Asakami Shion kicked him and sent him flying into the depths of the palace.

"Search every place and kill them all." Asakami Shion issued the cruel order in the most gentle and lovely voice.

Many players smiled.

The enemy has been stunned, and the only two or three remaining cats and dogs are still a big gift pack for them.

If you grab it, you earn it.

"Quick, for the Empire."

"It is our duty to wipe out the remnants of the reincarnation."

"Kill one, grab one."

Many players of the Purifier Corps rushed forward with excited faces.

The faces of the players from the Temple of the Gods suddenly turned ugly.

Turn around and run.

Many players chased after them and hacked and killed them, using all kinds of props to attack those unlucky guys.

Exchange heads for points.

The battleships also carried out orbital bombardment of different areas at the same time, using fighter planes to drop bombs and torpedoes to those dangerous areas.

Clear the way for the Purifier Legion.

Towers of flames shot up into the sky, and the huge mushroom cloud could be seen even in outer space.

In any designated area that is bombed, only ruins and rubble remain, and all living things will be crushed by the terrible shock wave.

The difference is that those areas often use space bombs to blow out players who try to hide in the dimensional space.

There are many types of space bombs. One type uses the dimension of space to kill the enemy using the characteristics of regional dimensionality reduction and automatic repair of space and time.

The bomb will reduce the space to two dimensions. When the player falls into it, he will be sucked into the second dimension. Then the space-time structure will automatically repair the reduced dimension and restore the space-time continuity.

Players will experience changes in their atomic structure during these drastic changes in space, and their bodies will be torn into mud or some strange shapes.

The other is to create space-time ripples through the space-time continuity, crushing all the creatures in a certain area.

These two are commonly used methods by the empire.

Enough to clear out most of the enemies hiding in the dimensional space.

If it really doesn't work, the Empire will erase that area and destroy all space-time data, so as to make the enemy's concept of non-existence and death.

"The space-time blockade has been reduced by 3.214%. Please bomb the following locations to break the enemy's attempt to blockade the battleship's space-time and maintain the battleship's space-time jump function." The mechanical sage on the ship whispered.

The captain entered the coordinates given by the sage.

The enemies of this world are not that simple.

They are secretly using the subspace to create a space-time blockade in an attempt to disable the battleship's jump function.

The purpose is self-evident.

Want to keep the entire Purifier Corps here.

By the way, take away the Empire's warships and see the true level of the Empire.

The global bombing is still going on.

Many places were bombed into ruins.

Realizing that continuing would only result in more casualties.

The enemy no longer adhered to the original strategy, but chose to attack head-on.

Accompanied by a terrible roar.

A magnificent giant city appeared in the ocean of the planet, which was completely incompatible with human aesthetics.

Its body was as shapeless as burnt oil, with white children's eyes very conspicuous on it, constantly decomposing and forming.

Countless tentacles were dancing in the air.

Horrible subspace fluctuations emanated from the monster.

Next to the monsters, there is a group of players exuding a strong aura.

It was obvious that they had been lying in ambush here all the time.

I want to wait for the time and space blockade to be completed so that I can catch all the invaders in one fell swoop.

However, seeing the Empire's crazy bombing, they had to come out early.

With the appearance of the huge city, endless darkness rolled out, covering the entire world.

A series of alarms sounded inside the battleship, extremely noisy and mixed with the sound of the engine.

The existence of severely catastrophic subspace creatures was discovered and confirmed to be local "gods".

The existence of severely catastrophic subspace creatures was discovered and confirmed to be local "gods".

The existence of severely catastrophic subspace creatures was discovered and confirmed to be local "gods".

The captain's face darkened when he saw the message that popped up.

"We have to ask for the assistance of the Primaris, then retreat to a safe distance and wait for reinforcements. If nothing goes wrong, a regiment will come to support us in three hours. Players do not have the ability to fight against gods." The Mechanical Sage on the side said, "They hid a god here. This is something that the battle plan could not foresee."

"What about them?" The captain pointed to the screen, at the Purifiers who were maintaining a tenuous connection with the battleship. The legion commander was also on the surface at this time.

"That subspace creature built a space-time barrier, and they are trapped inside. The cost of rescuing them is too high. If we bomb them forcefully, they will all be killed. Leaving their lives and deaths to fate will also allow that god to escape and bring even greater disasters. If support arrives quickly enough, we can still rescue some people." said the Mechanical Sage.

The captain was silent for a moment. "We can't just abandon them like this. We are asked to fight together. If we survive and they die tragically on the surface, there will be no honor in that. Go to the communication strategy room and send a message for help, Sage."

"Send out the planes, fly them at high altitudes, and have them bring repeaters with them to see if they can contact the legion commander."

"I understand." After looking at the captain with his electronic prosthetic eyes, the sage shook his head, turned and walked out to debug the space-time equipment to send a request for help to the nearest regiment.

... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... .

When darkness emerges.

Asakami Shion and her subordinates were all pulled into another space.

Appeared in a huge city that did not belong to humans.

"Your Excellency is so cruel. I am the Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix War Marshal, plus three thousand generals, hundreds of thousands of members, but you destroyed us with just a wave of your hand. How cruel."

A tall and thin man with an imposing appearance appeared in front of Asakami Shion, with murderous eyes.

He is the terrifying SS-level player, the man who controls everything and calls himself the sky, Xiao Tian.

In addition to him, several other top players also came out.

It's either S-level or SS-level.

They all have top-notch props in their hands.

Su Xiao was also among them, with a ferocious smile on his face.

This siege had been planned for a long time.

The Empire must pay a heavy price, and those who dare to betray this universe must pay the price.

A strange roar was heard.

A terrifying figure approached from afar.

The "God" who blocked the entire world has also come.

Thousands of strange eyes stared at Asakami Shion, without concealing the madness and confusion in their eyes.

"You can defeat me with more people?"

Faced with such a scene, Asakami Shion tightly grasped the sickle in her hand. There was no fear on her face, but instead a smile appeared.

"I will kill you today." Xiao Tian took out an old, yellowed notebook and said in a domineering tone.

When Lidya Su saw the notebook in Xiao Tian’s hand, her eyes widened.

"SS-level item, cursed diary, causality item."
