When the Miniature Nuclear Bomb hidden within the body of the Battle Droid finally detonated, everyone watching the battle instantly felt a terrifying and dangerous aura. It was an oppressive force far beyond the ultra-high-speed Railgun from before, and the enemy side felt it most clearly.
No matter how optimistic or confident the Demons had been moments ago, their expressions changed one after another. A trace of fear appeared in their eyes, and even Eric could not help but feel slightly nervous.
Although the Aura radiating from the battlefield was terrifying, Eric remained extremely confident in the units he had created. As one of the leaders of the younger generation of the Abyss, the forces under his command were the Elite of the Elite. Otherwise, they would never have been capable of instantly killing the Golden Dragon. Even after the Demons had undergone group evolution, they still could not achieve such a feat so effortlessly.
"Hmph! It's just self-destruction. I want to see just how terrifying it can be!" A sneer flashed across Eric's eyes.
By this point, everyone could already see what the enemy's strategy for this battle was. Trap the enemy, then use the puppets to self-destruct. Eric had thought of this possibility as well, and he immediately realized that he had been somewhat careless. He had underestimated Jiang Fan and suffered a small loss because of it.
But that didn't matter as Eric had already been prepared to pay a certain price. But what he never expected was that he had still underestimated the true power of the Battle Droid's self-destruction.
Because this time, it wasn't just one. It wasn't ten. It wasn't one hundred. It was 5,000 detonating simultaneously. The terrifying power erupted in an instant.
Not only Eric but everyone watching the battle felt an overwhelming sense of danger. None of them had expected the result to be this terrifying. Then...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
5,000 miniature suns suddenly rose into the sky as the entire battlefield was swallowed by an unimaginable explosion. The Battle Droids and the Demons disappeared in an instant. There was no struggle. No resistance. No opportunity to escape.
The battlefield was thoroughly plowed by the terrifying, destructive force, leaving nothing behind. Not even a trace of the battlefield remained. The overwhelming heat swept through everything, vaporizing and annihilating whatever stood within its range until nothing was left. Everything was turned into nothingness.
Inside both ships, everyone fell into complete silence as they were dumbfounded. Countless people stared at the scene before them in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened. It had been destroyed too quickly and too thoroughly.
Some people had already guessed that the Battle Droid's self-destruction would be unusual. After all, Sebastian would never use such a tactic without having something to rely on, but nobody had expected it to be this terrifying. The enemy had not even been given the slightest room to resist as they had been directly evaporated.
Eric's eyes widened. The disdainful expression that had previously remained on his face disappeared completely, replaced by shock and horror. Deep within those widened eyes was also a trace of disbelief. It wasn't one. It wasn't ten. It wasn't one hundred. It was a full 1,000 Elite Demons.
In the previous battle, only 300 of them had been enough to slaughter an army of 10,000 on one side. Yet now... They had disappeared. Completely.
Eric couldn't even see exactly how they had disappeared. His hands began to tremble. His entire body shook slightly, and for the first time, a genuine trace of fear gradually surfaced within his heart.
It wasn't only Eric; everyone around him had fallen silent. The other Demons were equally shocked, their minds struggling to process the scene before them. There was even a faint sense of absurdity growing in their minds.
Eric had just lost?! The thought itself seemed ridiculous. Although they had heard Sebastian's name before, they all knew that he was the most powerful newcomer in the history of the Endless Star Territory. His strength was definitely greater than that of Augustus, Iris, Sergey, and the others.
Therefore, they had never dared to underestimate him. Eric had even sent out all 1,000 Demons at once. He had considered this battle an opportunity to crush the enemy forces with overwhelming strength.
But unexpectedly... The champion wasn't merely a little stronger than the runner-up, the third-place contender, or the others ranked below him. The gap was simply enormous. An army of 1,000 Elite Demons that Eric had painstakingly cultivated had vanished without leaving even the slightest trace. The result was so overwhelming that it almost seemed unreal.
"This... how is this possible?" After a long moment, someone finally recovered from the shock. His voice trembled as he spoke, his eyes still fixed upon the annihilated battlefield.
"Just..." Another Demon swallowed hard, unable to hide the astonishment in his voice. "Was that really the self-destruction of those puppets? What kind of puppet could possess such terrifying power?"
No one answered because nobody knew such a thing had never happened before. On the Demon side, the atmosphere had completely frozen. But on the other side...
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the entire ship suddenly erupted into cheers.
"We won!"
"We actually won!"
"Sebastian won!"
Excitement spread throughout the ship like a tidal wave. Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief and exhilaration. Compared with the stunned Demon side, Sergey was far more familiar with Sebastian and his methods. After the initial shock, he quickly began to speculate about the source of this terrifying self-destruction power.
"This is..." Jörn's eyes narrowed as he stared at the battlefield. "The kind of weapon that wiped out the Five-Headed Dragon during the finals of the Stars Competition?!"
He had naturally watched that highly anticipated final, so had Kanna and the others. The weapon that had been capable of killing the Five-Headed Dragon had left an extremely deep impression on them.
However, during the battle just now, nobody had immediately thought of it. The reason was simple: the Nuclear Bomb used during the finals had been enormous. There was no way such a massive weapon could possibly be hidden inside the body of a Battle Droid.
That was the limitation of everyone's knowledge. Their understanding of Supernatural Creatures was already sufficient to comprehend many unimaginable powers and abilities. But the Nuclear Bomb was an entirely different concept; it was something completely outside their established knowledge. Even the Battle Droid itself was something that could not be understood through their knowledge.
"It should be." Sergey nodded slowly. After saying that, he couldn't help but glance toward Augustus.
When it came to this weapon, there was probably no one in the entire field whose knowledge of it was greater than Augustus's, except Sebastian himself. After all, Augustus had personally experienced the terrifying power of that weapon during the finals.
And now, for the first time, everyone was beginning to realize something even more frightening. The weapon that had once been capable of killing a Five-Headed Dragon... Had now been miniaturized to the point where it could be hidden inside a single Battle Droid, and there were 5,000 of them.
