He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 494. Fire over HQ base 323 part 4

Jackson Bloodfallen’s spear glowed with a crimson hue.

He swung the spear with extreme dexterity.

A tornado of blood blades spiraled around his figure and shot towards the approaching vimodial contractors, drowning them in the attacks and killing them.

Vimodial contractors had already launched attacks towards Bianca, but their attacks assumed a plummeting descent due to the gravitational energy she had directed towards them.

At the same time, the gravity around the vimodial contractors intensified. It was as if a colossal mountain had crushed into them. They were sent plummeting down towards the ground. Their crash caused the void to ripple, and the sounds of bones cracking spread everywhere.

A shield of wood materialised around Cyco’s figure, blocking an ice attack hurtled towards him by a vimodial contractor.

A ginormous leg made of wood appeared in the sky and cast shadows everywhere. The leg fell down towards the approaching vimodial contractors, slamming into them and killing them.

Nuel moved with extreme speed. His figure whizzed across the skies, knife in hand. His affinity was just pure, overwhelming speed. The only thing that passed the eyes of an enemy before their heads were severed from their necks was a trace of light in the line of their vision.

Like this, he fell enemies like felling grass.

This sense of domination on the battlefield caused several operatives to look up at Captain Bloodfallen and team members in awe.

These guys were this strong?

Kailen Darkhaven. No one around him was ordinary.

The awakeners fought with more vigor against the vimodial contractors.

Kailen continued to use zither weaponry arts to slaughter vimodial contractors.

The battle between Fred and Floyd reached its peak.

Each had various wounds on different parts of their bodies. Their battlesuits were shredded with gaping holes and wounds on various parts of their bodies.

At the same time, their gazes interlocked, and they coughed mouthfuls of blood at the same time.

Both knew that this last attack would determine the outcome of everything.

The gauntlet in Floyd’s hand disappeared. At the same time, Fred put his spear away.

Suddenly, the space trembled. An extremely large canoe made of wind appeared above Floyd’s figure. The canoe blotted out the skies. A whirlwind was sweeping across, in the middle of the canoe.

Extreme color drained from the face of Floyd. This attack had drained a lot of his universe energy reserves. Everything on the battlefield depended on this last strike.

Fred was not idle either. The silhouette of a mountain shimmered to life. The mountain was made entirely of lightning. It blotted out the sky.

Fred’s breathing was unsteady, eyes calm.

At the same time, the two attacks blinked towards the other. As this happened, the battlefield seemed to have assumed silence for a moment, as a whooshing sound was made.

The colossal canoe, with a whirlwind sweeping across its centre, and the mountain of lightning crashed into each other.

A cataclysmic sound rippled across the skies and towered towards the battlefield, leaving devastation everywhere. The two attacks fought for dominance for a while, until both attacks seemed to be swallowing each other.

The onlookers observed in shock. So this was the strength of rank 7 intermediate stage galactic level lifeforms.

At the moment, Kailen had used umbral replacement to retreat with Jackson, Cyco, Nuel, and Bianca to somewhere very far away on the battlefield, where the impact of the collision above didn’t have any effect.

Several vimodial contractors and operatives had stopped battling and had also retreated far away. The outcome of this battle would determine everything on the battlefield.

The two attacks swallowed each other for a while, and both seemed to implode into each other.

At the same time, Fred and Floyd both coughed mouthfuls of blood.

Fred scanned the battlefield. He had lost a lot of comrades in this battle.

And the outcome was not to his expectation—none in the base was supposed to survive.

Also, he was not in good condition to keep fighting. He hated how things had turned out. But the only option was to retreat for now.

At least he had done significant damage to the empire. Even though he had failed to claim the base and push into empire territory. The punishment he would receive for this outcome would not be too severe. However, he had to report on Kailen Darkhaven to the higher-ups when he got back. This fucker had been one of the reasons why the outcome of this invasion had not been satisfactory. He had to die. He was too dangerous to be allowed to grow.

Floyd also assessed the situation on the battlefield. The number of operatives lost was staggering. The base had been flattened into rubble, and the scent of blood and scorched flesh of dead operatives permeated the air.

There had been survivors, some extremely wounded, and a couple had even become crippled awakeners. Not many were in good shape. The outcome was not favorable. Also, he was in no condition to fight anymore.

He stared at Fred, and Fred stared back at him.

Each grimaced.

Fred sighed.

"Retreat."

As soon as he spoke, the vimodial contractors turned into streaks of light and left as quickly as they came.

"Don’t chase,"

Floyd commanded.

They had secured too many losses to continue engaging with the enemy. The outcome wouldn’t be favorable for the Astral Empire.

No one cheered. The aftermath left many sighing as their gazes scanned across.

Not long ago, the base was extremely peaceful. But no one had anticipated something like this would happen.

At the moment healers had already gotten to work, trying to do the best they could to heal wounded awakeners who were not beyond help. The casualties were very severe.

Everyone knew that the vimodial contractors may not have achieved the outcome they wanted in this battle, but one thing had been made clear to every single operative present on the battlefield, and to those watching via satellite, operatives and empire citizens alike:

This war had just gotten more serious.
