And so, in the instant these hydrogen bombs were activated—even though they were high above the ground and far away.

But their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

Then came the moment that over two thousand fusion bombs detonated in succession.

For an instant, looking up from the surface of the Crimson World, it was as if the entire world had been bleached pure white in a sudden flash!

This terrifying scene left vast numbers of the Blood Race stunned.

At the same time, this was the moment the Mana Will—the planet’s collective ecological consciousness—sensed the imminent risk of total ecological extinction.

Its ruling mechanism instantly withdrew the protective Barrier.

Simultaneously, it mobilized the entire planet’s Power to immediately block the impact of the resulting nuclear radiation on the world!

Thus, from the ground, one could see a much stronger Barrier suddenly appear in the upper atmosphere.

This Barrier blocked the heat and radiation from the hydrogen bombs.

The Crimson World’s internal ecosystem was saved.

But on the other side of the Star Realm, even though the Thirteen Blood Ancestors acted the instant they snapped out of their stupor, some Saint Tier Players, and even a dozen or so Aerospace Fighters, still managed to break through into the Star Realm!

Even Deities have their limits.

The planet was vast. While the Thirteen Blood Ancestors had the Power to deal with all the Saint Tier Players and Aerospace Fighters, they couldn’t possibly kill everyone and everything in a single instant.

Moreover, the unexpected turn of events—the Mana Will slipping from their control—had indeed distracted them for a crucial moment.

Thus, the breakthrough of the Saint Tier Players and Aerospace Fighters into the Star Realm became inevitable.

"Damn it!!!"

"Despicable mortals!!!"

This was the first time nuclear bombs had revealed their power in the Crimson World, and the first time the Blood Race learned just how terrifying mortal ingenuity could be.

Logically, Deities who had reached the level of Powerful Divine Power, or even the Main God Level, should have a Spiritual premonition that warns them of any impending threat.

However, as it happened, a fusion bomb was not powerful enough to kill a being of Powerful Divine Power or Main God Level in a surprise attack.

Furthermore, the Star Empire’s nuclear bombs were never aimed at these Deities to begin with.

As a result, these Blood Race Deities had no premonition of what was to come.

It must be said, Intelligent Brain Anita had truly achieved a great victory this time.

Using information about the Crimson World provided by the Players, Intelligent Brain Anita had devised this tactic specifically to break through the greatest obstacle: the world’s Mana Will.

In fact, Intelligent Brain Anita never intended to kill the Deities with nuclear bombs.

So, from the very beginning, this plan was aimed directly at the Mana Will!

Even from the start, Intelligent Brain Anita had calculated the plan’s success rate at just over thirty percent.

But it had to be said, because the Blood Race had never encountered a nuclear-capable civilization, they were caught completely off guard, allowing Intelligent Brain Anita’s plan to have such a stunningly effective result.

The Thirteen Blood Ancestors’ expressions were incredibly grim.

They could even be described as utterly furious!

After all, in their eyes, they were great Deities who had lived for ages untold, yet they had just been played by mere mortal contraptions.

Worse, their creations had broken the Star Realm blockade that they had jointly established.

This was a slap in the face!

But unfortunately, anger was pointless now.

Because in the next instant, outside the Star Core World, in the void near the planet, something suddenly slashed through the blackness of Space.

On closer inspection, it was revealed to be a claw wreathed in terrifying flames!

A giant, flaming Dragon Claw. With just a single talon, it seemed to casually swipe through the Star Sea, tearing a fiery rift in Space over ten thousand kilometers long!

Then, in a flash.

Just as the Thirteen Blood Ancestors’ Spiritual senses screamed with extreme danger, and as they watched in horror...

Two giant claws suddenly gripped the edges of the horrifying, fiery rift—one from above, one from below! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In that moment, the rift in Space, as if it were a physical object, was violently torn wide open in an instant!!!

As Space was torn asunder...

...in the next instant, streaks of light began to pour through the torn rift into this world.

Leading them was none other than the recently awakened Main God, the Storm Goddess.

After her came Deities of Powerful Divine Power, along with those of Medium and Weak Divine Power. In that instant, sixty-seven of Lince’s Deities flooded into the world, leaving only ten behind to stand guard!
