Chapter 165: Evil Eye Modified: Gluttony Evil Eye × 8 Million
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the peculiar look on his face, Shiraori cast a puzzled glance from beside him.
"Nothing, just a minor issue."
Shirazawa did not pay much attention to the situation over on Sophia's end, shifting his gaze instead to focus on the immediate battlefront.
Ariel, Gulie, Shirazawa, Shiraori, and Wrath—these five made up the core force, augmented by the Ninth Army composed of the Dragon Race and the Tenth Army led by White Two.
The Demon Lord faction's combat power was pushed to its absolute limit; it could be described as an entirely one-sided stomp with zero suspense.
However, the main characters this time around were not Shirazawa and the others, but Ariel and Gulie, who were single-mindedly seeking vengeance against Potimas.
"It's strange. The elves should have received news of the invasion long ago, so why hasn't there been any movement?"
The goblin scouts under the Goblin King, Wrath, sent back word that the Elf Village was currently uncannily quiet, showing no signs of intent to resist.
"Advance directly. In the face of absolute power, all petty tricks are nothing but illusions."
Ariel was brimming with murderous intent and had no desire to waste words, commanding the vanguard to push forward and sweep away any entity that dared to block her path.
Soon, a massive green barrier manifested before the grand army.
That was a magnified, reinforced version of the
With this turtle shell in place, even the Administrator Gulie had been left entirely helpless against Potimas over the years; the MA energy contained within it surpassed everyone's imagination. Otherwise, after all these centuries, the old fairy would have been snuffed out by Gulie long ago.
This was also the reason why Potimas always dispatched mere clones; his true body remained constantly holed up beneath the Elf Village, which was as sly as it got.
Gulie frowned slightly and asked coldly, "How do we handle this?"
According to his line of thought, if everyone present struck together, they should be able to breach this turtle shell. However, Gulie was not entirely clear on the true combat capacities of the individuals here at this moment.
Take Ariel, for instance, who had stepped into the divine realm and obtained D's personal protection—her current strength was an unfathomable abyss.
"Let me do it. I've been researching a new topic lately, and I happen to need some energy."
Shiraori spoke in her soft, quiet whisper, slowly stepping forward.
During this recent period, she would always glean inspiration whenever she analyzed the system, allowing her to develop all sorts of new moves. It had to be said that the system D had casually put together was truly effective.
And that
How to deal with this type of completely unreasonable barrier?
Lo and behold, she had actually managed to figure it out.
"Combat-Specialized Clones!"
"Alternate Dimension Phantom!"
"Energy conduction, clone reinforcement, all Evil Eyes fully open..."
Shiraori held both hands toward the sky. Accompanied by her low, whispered murmurs, the sky became completely obscured by her alternate dimension.
Deep within the far reaches of the starry expanse, countless pairs of crimson eyes snapped open, radiating an eerie, sinister light.
"Evil Eye Modified: Gluttony Evil Eye × 8 Million!"
In an instant, countless crimson shooting stars pierced through the night curtain, slamming directly onto the barrier.
This was a brand-new Evil Eye achieved by modifying Ariel's Gluttony skill and combining it with the Evil Eye series, which could be executed under any circumstance.
Millions of clones simultaneously activated Gluttony, directly devouring the magic-nullification formulas applied to the surface of the barrier until nothing remained. Utilizing the trait of absolute consumption, the massive green glass dome gradually grew dim and lusterless.
The little spiders were finally able to enjoy a hearty feast. Although the energy was only temporarily stored within their bodies and would ultimately be drawn away by Mother Shiraori, they at least didn't have to go hungry at this stage.
*Bang!*
With its energy support broken, the spell formula collapsed, and the barrier shattered right on cue.
Peeking silently from deep underground, Potimas's eyes instantly threatened to split from rage.
"This... this is a barrier I spent nearly a century gathering MA energy to construct, and it's... it's just gone like that?"
He found it utterly beyond belief.
"Go! Bring those reincarnations to me! Deploy the mecha force to the battlefield immediately!"
Potimas realized the severity of the situation, a frantic light flashing in his eyes as he barked orders to the elven guards behind him.
The reincarnations, who had originally been mere experimental subjects, might unexpectedly turn out to be his bargaining chips to threaten the enemy today. The old fairy felt a wave of emotion; he truly was getting old, living his life backward the longer it went on. Once upon a time, he actually needed to rely on threatening his enemies just to stay alive.
The guards who received the order immediately notified the various divisions to take action, and then...
"My Lord, there is a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
An elven clan member sitting at the control console suddenly blurted out a sentence that caused Potimas's blood pressure to skyrocket, nearly making him black out.
If you have a situation to report, then report it properly. What the hell do you mean by pulling this stunt on me?
Forget it. He would listen to the intel first before slaughtering this absolute idiot.
"...Give me the bad news first."
He suppressed his raging fury, trying his best to answer in a level tone.
"Right. The bad news is that spies have infiltrated the Elf Village, and these spies happen to be incredibly powerful."
The moment these words left the worker's mouth, Potimas nearly coughed up blood.
Why the hell couldn't you say something this important sooner?! Making me choose, you piece of—
"...And the good news?"
He asked through gritted teeth, hoping it wouldn't bring him any more surprises.
"The good news is that the spies only took away those reincarnations, without causing too much destruction to the Elf Village."
*Bam!*
Potimas lunged forward and smashed the elven worker's head to pieces.
"Useless trash! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"
He cursed venomously, slamming a fist onto the control console.
Looking at Ariel and the others who were currently invading across the screens, Potimas's face grew so dark it looked as though it could drip ink. His various measures were being dismantled one by one, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"This can't go on. I must evacuate immediately."
He didn't have much lifespan left. He had originally plotted to seize the energy generated when the system was destroyed, thereby stepping into the divine realm. But now that his meager life wasn't even secure, things like eternal youth could only be pushed to the back burner for now.
Potimas began to hammer frantically away at the operations desk, and all sorts of machinery were deployed into the battlefield. These were all research fruits he had accumulated over more than half his lifetime; unleashing them all at once made his heart ache subtly. But at this point, he could no longer care about that much.
If his life was gone, what was the point of keeping any of this?
Having finished these tasks, he quickly left the control room, heading toward the deepest section of the underground.
...
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Densely packed mecha tanks were deployed from beneath the earth, completely blanketing the battlefield.
"A mass-produced mechanized unit?"
"Monsters comparable to a stat value of ten thousand?"
"Competing to see who has more numbers?"
Shirazawa smiled faintly, continuing to slack off.
Wrath, meanwhile, charged forward at the head of the Eighth Army.
With a massive wave of Gulie's hand, the Dragon Race behind him toggled back into their true Dragon forms one after another. Wind Dragon Hyuvan flew the fastest, followed closely by the Thunder Dragon and Dark Dragon clans.
The Earth Dragons, who had rested and recuperated for several years, also made their grand return to the world, alongside the Ice Dragons, Water Dragons, Light Dragons, and so forth.
Terrifying waves of energy ravaged the battlefield.
Wrath went so far as to activate his Ruler skill,
His own role in this story was about to wrap up, yet he hadn't even unleashed his ultimate move until now. This time, no matter what, he was going to show off properly.
Gulie, who had originally intended to make a move, silently stepped back, relinquishing the stage to the young Goblin King who was progressively losing his sanity and hacking away in a frenzy.
"Master, I'm back."
Exuding an elegant grace, Leest had arrived at the rear of the battlefield with the group of reincarnations at some unknown point.
"Shirazawa-kun?!"
"Wakaba-san?!"
Very quickly, the two of them were recognized by their former classmates...
