"This is war. Why bother with a code of honor?"

"There’s nothing left to say. Let’s just all go at once. According to the Oracle, this world isn’t weak. If we drag this out, there’s no telling what might happen!"

"That’s right. We also have to buy time for our forces in the Chongxing Realm. There are twenty-six Blood Race Princes here. Even if we can’t kill them, just tying them down will mean less resistance for our Deities when they open the Star Realm Gate!"

"Let’s get ’em, brothers! Don’t overthink it, just go!"

"Um, right. The Dragon Race has no objections, right?"

At that moment, beside the Mortal Star Gate, one hundred and fourteen Saint Tier Players were gathered. They were the ones who had accepted the mission to guard the gate.

That was why they hadn’t left with the rest of the Empire Army.

Instead, the moment the initial three-day battle ended, a stir of excitement passed through them. They were already eyeing the Blood Race Princes greedily, ready to make a move.

Their leader, a Saint Tier Peak Player, called out to his friends while addressing the leader of the Dragon Race contingent.

"Our mission is only to defend the Star Gate. If you Divine Favored are willing to strike first, we certainly have no objections."

The leader of the Dragon Race was none other than Angelina, a descendant of the Silver Dragon Camilla and once a Dragon Descendant on the Oakland Continent.

Now, this Dragon Descendant had completely transformed into a pure-blooded Silver Dragon.

And she had long possessed the power of a Saint Tier Peak expert.

"Lady Angelina herself has said so. What is there to hesitate about, everyone?"

"Let’s go!"

The lead Player grinned.

The surrounding Players immediately began rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Every Player who reached Saint Tier was an incredibly proud and arrogant person at heart.

During the peaceful years of the Star Empire, they had found it far too difficult to find opportunities to advance further.

But now, things were different.

Putting aside the massive rewards from the True Game they could get for completing the Star Gate defense mission, just killing a few Blood Race Princes right now would definitely earn them a ton of War Points.

The next step after Saint Tier was Demigod!

And Divinity was the reward these Saint Tier experts coveted most from war missions!

For that reason, they couldn’t possibly pass up this mountain of points that seemed to be right within their grasp.

"The enemy has challenged us!"

"Ha, you can’t say we’re ganging up on them now!"

"They brought this on themselves!"

"Let’s rush them all at once!"

With that, the lead Player instantly transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the sky, where the Blood Race had issued their challenge.

The other Saint Tier Players were, of course, not far behind!

While charging, the lead Saint Tier Player immediately began his Elementalization.

And so, in the next moment, the phantom of a ferocious tiger-like Demon Beast nearly five thousand meters long manifested in the sky!

Evidently, this Player’s true form was that of a tiger-shaped Demon Beast.

It was just that after reaching Saint Tier, he could use Elementalization to take on a human appearance, which explained why he had looked human before.

Following this Saint Tier Player, various forms of Elementalization occurred one after another.

A giant phantom of a Human Race warrior!

A massive phantom of a Sea Race being.

A hulking Beastman Behemoth.

There was even the giant phantom of an Elf Player, brimming with the aura of nature.

In short, at this moment, in this very space...

One hundred Saint Tier beings manifested their true forms and underwent Elementalization, all charging toward the Blood Race.

No discussion was necessary—it was time to fight!

Meanwhile, on the Blood Race’s side, the twenty-six Blood Race Princes were clearly astonished to see so many different Races among the Players.

"I originally thought this so-called Star Empire had merely enslaved many different races, but the appearance of so many Saint Tier experts from different Races speaks volumes."

"This civilization, this world... their Deities seem to treat mortals of different Races quite fairly."

The Blood Race Prince Zeverin remarked, slightly taken aback.

"Different worlds have different ways. Who knows how many civilizations exist in the Star Realm? Any kind of world is possible."

"However, now is clearly not the time for such talk. Alright, everyone, let’s stretch our legs a bit!"

"It’s time we let these foreign, Prince-Level beings understand the Mighty Power of our Blood Race."

With that, in the very next instant, as the group of Players charged toward them, the Blood Race Prince Anos’s entire figure was completely enveloped in a blood-red mist.

The blood-red mist enshrouded his body as it grew taller and taller.

In a flash, his form had already surpassed ten thousand meters!

Red eyes, sharp fangs, bat-like wings, and a suit of nobleman’s attire.

It had to be said, his presentation was quite impressive.

Moreover, his Elemental Body was clearly far larger than that of an average Saint Tier Player!

Following Anos’s Blood Origin Transformation, the other Blood Race Princes naturally did not fall behind.

And so, the sky on the Blood Race’s side was instantly filled with a tide of red mist.

Within that blood-swathed sky, the transformed bodies of the Blood Race, similar to Elementalization, were all clearly powerful.

"What the hell? They’re all this huge?"

"Are these guys really a variant of the Human Race? A Human Race Saint Tier without a special Bloodline is considered pretty good if their Elementalization reaches three to five thousand meters, right?"

"Why overthink it? What’s the damn use of being big! Can a human-like elemental form like that even compare to mine?"

"It’s just a bluff. I refuse to believe it. We’re both Upper-Rank Species, so there’s no way my Demon Beast Bloodline is weaker than theirs!"

And so, in the next moment, the leading ferocious tiger led all the Saint Tier Players charging headfirst into the blood-red mist!
