Without a doubt, this day was the darkest in Justin’s life. It was also an unprecedented blow to the League of Gods since its establishment, all because of one person - Waldo!

The once unforgettable super-villain who had disappeared for so long had now returned and dealt a massive blow to the League of Gods. Justin couldn’t believe it. In his eyes, Waldo was a thing of the past, powerless and obsolete in this era.

Surprisingly, Waldo managed to convince the Victory League and the Sun League to stand by him and protect his Dawn Noah’s Ark.

Then, with audacity beyond measure, he invaded their headquarters, detonating dozens of warships, shooting down four fighter jets, causing unimaginable casualties and enormous losses.

Honestly, things had escalated beyond Justin’s expectations. He even had some regrets about going after Waldo. But once the bow is drawn, the arrow must be released.

With no way back, Waldo had to die by his hand for the glory of the League of Gods. Otherwise, the League’s reputation would be tarnished forever, and they might even be expelled from the ranks of the Seven Great Leagues. Justin couldn’t accept that!

Although Justin was furious, he hadn’t lost his sanity. He thought clearly about what he should do next.

"All aircraft, deploy immediately and support the front lines! Be extremely cautious; the enemy’s warships have state-of-the-art weapon systems, immense firepower, and pose a significant threat. Launch your attacks while ensuring your safety!"

Soon, more fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier, all in the hope of eliminating Waldo. "I never thought I’d be under attack in our own headquarters!" Justin sighed.

"Who could have imagined such a day? We, the League of Gods, are the undisputed rulers of the seas! And yet, our headquarters was raided by a mere escort ship? If we tell others, they might not even believe it!"

Someone chuckled bitterly, expressing their helplessness.

Once, the League of Gods was their pride. Now, even their headquarters had been infiltrated. The losses were devastating, and they were struggling to eliminate the enemy.

This, to some extent, had dealt a significant blow to them. Their disappointment in the Alliance’s adaptability was undeniable.

"Oh, I feel like, regardless of the outcome of this incident, even if Waldo is killed, the status of our League of Gods will plummet," one sighed.

"Yes, in everyone’s eyes, our strength is far from what was imagined; we’re nothing more than paper tigers. Moreover, after this battle, our losses are immense, far worse than before. A steep decline in status is inevitable. I just wonder if our situation will change."

"If only we hadn’t provoked Waldo, this cunning character, in the first place. I always thought Waldo was extraordinary and not to be trifled with. Now, seeing this, it’s true! I don’t know what to say!"

"Waldo is Waldo after all. He became a legend of an era, making everyone remember him with his own strength. It’s reasonable. Even today, his position should not be easily challenged."

"What can we do? At this point, there’s no room for reconciliation between the two sides."

"Yes, we must unite and confront Waldo together," the survivors of the League of Gods discussed passionately.

At first, the discussion was relatively harmonious, but soon enough, it escalated into an argument.

"I think we should stop immediately; otherwise, our losses will be even greater," someone suggested.

Upon hearing this, many people got angry. "You are a member of the League of Gods! How can you speak up for Waldo? Stop? Spare Waldo? Are you kidding me? Do you know what you’re saying? Shut up!"

Both sides got into a heated argument.

Before long, some bad news arrived.

It was a very grim message! One of their fighter jets had been destroyed once again.

They were all heroes of the League of Gods, and we will always remember them!

That’s right, the pilots sacrificed themselves to deal with the enemy, and we need to remember them!

At that moment, many were filled with deep sorrow.

At the same time, their anger towards Waldo and the invincible ship was soaring.

At this moment, someone brought up the past again.

"I’ve said it before, continuing to confront Waldo will only lead to greater losses! I think, to avoid unnecessary casualties and prevent more soldiers from dying, it’s best to stop all actions immediately. We don’t want to see more and more of our brothers and sisters dying in front of us."

They were strongly opposed to the war and couldn’t bear such immense losses. Moreover, they had inside information. In reality, Waldo had no initial intentions of targeting the League of Gods.

It was entirely certain powerful individuals who acted against Waldo for their selfish reasons. Ultimately, the consequences were self-inflicted. Therefore, they advocated for stopping the operation.

Of course, others wouldn’t agree. The two sides started another endless argument. If not for someone mediating, they might have resorted to violence.

The next day, the League of Gods’ warships closely followed the invincible ship, venturing deep into the boundless sea.

However, despite the time that had passed, no good news had come through. Instead, bad news kept coming, one after another. This made all the survivors of the League of Gods doubt their own ears.

"Waldo is actually this terrifying? Why are the warships and fighter jets we’re losing all ours? I can’t accept this!"

"What exactly happened at the front? Why, in just one day, did the number of our fighter jet losses rise to fifteen? That’s more than half of our jet count!"

"Fifteen fighter jets! You see, the total number of the League of Gods’ fighter jets is only thirty. And in just twenty-four hours, half of them were destroyed! For all the survivors of the League of Gods, this result is completely unacceptable. The losses are too severe."

"What is the core of an aircraft carrier? It’s the fighter jets on it! Losing half of the fighter jets is like cutting off our own arm! The deterrence of the Godship aircraft carrier has greatly weakened."

"Not only that, out of the thirty-three participating warships, four were sunk!" someone added.

Following that, someone sighed softly and said, "I’ve said it before, don’t provoke Waldo again; we should stop the action immediately. Otherwise, it will bring us even heavier losses. Look, our words have proven true!"

"We should have known this outcome. We shouldn’t have gone all out to confront Waldo; in the end, we gained nothing. This time, everyone fell silent in response to such comments. Even those who had previously loudly criticized couldn’t find words. The losses of the League of Gods were too devastating."

"At the same time, despair completely overtook the top echelons of the League of Gods. I admit it, Waldo, I indeed underestimated you. If there’s a chance to start over, I will never listen to Hadden and will absolutely not lay a hand on you."

Justin’s eyes were bloodshot. The past twenty-four hours could be said to be the most agonizing in his life. He was overwhelmed with deep regret.

At this point, even drinking a glass of water made his hands tremble. Simultaneously, he was engaged in a fierce internal struggle. Should he continue to confront Waldo or stop the action and swallow his pride?

Although he found it hard to swallow his pride, if he continued, perhaps his final losses would be even more devastating.

At this moment, the deputy said, "Commander, the reason Waldo and the invincible ship have caused us such significant losses while we are helpless against them is because the invincible ship can enter stealth mode, making it impossible for us to detect. The information we initially obtained was actually false; the invincible ship can enter stealth mode at any time. However, we’ve already placed the relevant tracking devices on the invincible ship! Next, we just need to wait for the invincible ship’s ammunition to be depleted, and then we can engage directly."

"After a day and night of consumption, I believe the invincible ship’s missiles must be almost depleted," the deputy analyzed. "Generally speaking, missiles are a scarce resource, especially various anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles. After the previous consumption, regardless of how many missile reserves Waldo had, by now, they must have been significantly depleted."

Hearing this, Justin nodded, finding the analysis quite reasonable. He then ordered, "Find a way to deplete Waldo’s missiles. Once we notice a shortage of ammunition, destroy them immediately!"

Meanwhile, aboard the invincible ship, everyone appeared very fatigued. Fortunately, the majority of the members on the invincible ship were combat robots. Others could take turns to rest for a while. Compared to the enemies on the League of Gods’ warships, their condition was relatively good.

After a day and night of intense battles, the fear among the people had subsided. The invincible ship’s formidable firepower far exceeded their imagination.

It was not of the same era compared to other warships, the gap was too significant. Given the sufficient missile supply, regular fighter jets couldn’t get close to them. The limited number of missiles fired by the fighter jets posed little threat to them.

On the contrary, their anti-aircraft missiles posed a significant threat to the fighter jets in the sky. Moreover, during the intense battle, they periodically launched anti-ship missiles, attacking the fleet in the distance, successfully sinking many warships.

In addition, several warships were hit and severely damaged, forcing them to return to their main base. Consequently, the current enemy warship count had significantly decreased, to less than twenty-five.

"It’s strange. They’ve suffered such heavy losses, yet they persistently pursue us. Could it be that they’re not afraid of losing all their fighter jets? If all the fighter jets are shot down, the Godship aircraft carrier will be nearly useless, and the League of Gods will fall from a first-tier power to a third-rate one," Calvert said in confusion and disbelief.

"If it were me, after such a devastating loss, I’d unequivocally choose to retreat. I couldn’t bear any more significant losses," he added.

Upon hearing this, Waldo smiled. "Them persistently pursuing us is exactly what we want! I was worried they’d be too afraid to chase us."

Calvert was momentarily puzzled. "Why? Waldo, I still don’t understand. How can they persist in pursuing us despite such heavy losses? Could this be a trap?"

"A trap? What kind of trap could they possibly set?" Waldo sneered. "They dare to chase us because they’ve likely calculated that we have very few missiles left. Once our missiles are depleted, they plan to finish us off."

"But they have no idea that I still have plenty of missiles!" Waldo laughed coldly. He had a keen understanding of the League of Gods’ mindset.

At this moment, a plan targeting the League of Gods was slowly taking shape in his mind. The sneer on his face grew, and the intent to kill intensified.

"If you want to push me to my limits, don’t blame me for being ruthless and unforgiving. If you want to exterminate me thoroughly, you’ll regret it! I never had any intention of sparing the League of Gods. Even if they retreat this time, I will find an opportunity to destroy them. However, them fearlessly pursuing us now makes things a lot easier."

In no time, Waldo’s plan had taken shape in his mind. Subsequently, he began meticulously arranging the specifics according to his plan.

"The League of Gods? Ocean dominators? One of the Seven Great Leagues? No matter how powerful your forces are, no matter how many warships and fighter jets you possess, as long as you provoke me, you will pay a heavy price!" Waldo declared coldly.
