Without the slightest pause—accelerating, diving, and self-destructing—all executed in one seamless motion.

  The massive explosions sent up clouds of dust, shrouding the entrance to the invasion passage. This obscured the vision of all the four-armed werewolves, creating an excellent cover for the troops that followed closely behind.

  The next wave of self-destructing Zerglings surged forward under the cover of the dust, entering Darius's divine domain without any obstacles. They scattered like intelligent missiles, freely seeking their ideal targets in the sky.

  Then came the merciless dive. As they ended their own lives, they delivered a dazzling explosion to their enemies.

  The explosions of the self-destructing Zerglings, in both power and range, far surpassed the fireball spells of the Hydralisks. They were something neither ordinary nor extraordinary four-armed werewolves could withstand.

  A continuous series of deafening explosions echoed across the land, heralding the arrival of war and death. It was a spectacle of destruction performed for Darius, and the price of admission was the lives of his followers.

  At the entrance to the invasion passage, where his forces had been densely gathered, the Zerglings specifically targeted the most crowded areas.

  In an instant, Darius's followers suffered devastating losses. In his perception, faith connections were snapping apart in vast numbers.

  Yet, Darius could only watch helplessly. Even though he had given the order to retreat, the sheer concentration of his troops outside the invasion passage made it impossible for them to disperse quickly.

  William’s relentless counterattacks had not only wiped out all of Darius’s high-end forces but had also inflicted a severe blow to his mid-tier forces.

  By the time all three million self-destructing Zerglings had been expended within Darius’s divine domain, at least thirty million of his followers had perished, including more than eight million extraordinary-level followers.

  Darius’s demigod projection stood frozen, his mind completely blank.

  This was not the power a newly ascended demigod should possess.

  Before he could recover from the shock, Darius—through his remaining demigod projection inside William’s divine domain—witnessed an overwhelming swarm of Zerg converging once more, blanketing the already scorched land.

  Meanwhile, the airborne units that had largely survived the previous explosions descended from the sky to exterminate the remaining tens of thousands of four-armed werewolves that had entered William’s divine domain.

  For the third time, Darius had lost all his invading forces within William’s territory.

  Hovering above his own divine domain, Darius remained silent, making no further attempts to send more troops into William’s realm.

  Because before his demigod projection dissipated, William, wearing a crazed expression, had sent him a message:

  “Come on, destroy my divine domain. Are you ready for the price?”

  From those words alone, Darius could clearly sense William’s resolve.

  This young demigod was fully prepared to fight to the death, even at the cost of his own divine domain shattering.

  Darius knew he had suffered a major setback. There was no way he could eliminate this opponent in a short amount of time. Even if he eventually succeeded in killing William, the cost and time required would far exceed his expectations.

  As he contemplated his next move, Darius suddenly sensed a massive distortion in the distant void beyond his divine domain.

  A colossal, rapidly approaching void distortion.

  From its sheer size alone, he could tell that the divine domain moving toward them was far too vast to belong in this region.

  William, too, immediately noticed the anomaly.

  “They’re finally here.”

  He exhaled deeply.

  The crazed look in his eyes and the exaggerated grin on his face gradually faded, restoring his usual demeanor.

  With a single thought, William’s demigod spirit form appeared beyond his divine domain’s barrier, gazing into the distance at the approaching void distortion.

  He didn’t need to think twice—he already knew.

  That was Zous’s divine domain. They had arrived ahead of schedule.

  As he observed carefully, he noticed a small, incongruous section within the vast distortion.

  If he hadn’t known that Lex would also be coming, he might have overlooked it.

  That tiny, misplaced distortion was caused by his homeroom teacher’s divine domain moving through space, appearing minuscule in comparison.

  In just over ten seconds, Zous and Lex’s divine domains arrived beside William’s, coming to a steady halt. The turbulent void distortions around them gradually subsided.

  Within those few seconds, the battles raging within the connected divine domains had already ceased, thanks to the unspoken understanding between William and the newcomers.

  Zous and Lex’s demigod spirit forms appeared in the void simultaneously.

  Darius, Kenir, Bobo, and Henir—four demigod spirit forms—also emerged outside the divine domain barriers.

  Upon seeing the five demigods appear in the void, three of whom were from the Longwa race, the expressions of the newcomers instantly darkened.

  Especially when they saw Darius’s massive divine domain, spanning three million square kilometers, connected directly to William’s.

  In that moment, their hearts sank.

  They both had the same terrifying thought—William had already been captured by the enemy.

  For a brief moment, the two hesitated to make any rash moves.

  Just as Lex was about to ask William about the situation, William didn’t wait for Zous or Lex to speak. Instead, he put on a pitiful expression and cried out first:

  “Director Wang! Lex! You’re finally here! They ganged up on me—four against one! My losses are catastrophic!”

  As he spoke, he pointed straight at Darius, continuing his lament:

  “Especially that guy! Not only did he break the rules, but as a veteran demigod, he personally intervened in the battle! He even tried to destroy my divine domain core!”

  “If I hadn’t kept my cool and managed to protect myself, you would’ve been picking up the fragments of my divine domain by now!”

  Zous, who wasn’t too familiar with William, immediately grew anxious upon hearing his desperate cries. His voice took on a sharper edge as he asked:

  “How is your divine domain holding up?”

  At the same time, his gaze followed William’s pointed finger to Darius, his eyes turning ice-cold.

  From Darius’s divine domain, semi-transparent invasion tendrils trembled slightly, disrupting the concealment effect of his domain.

  A staggering 250 million square kilometers of divine territory flickered into view before them.

  The sight sent shockwaves through the four demigods on the opposite side.

  Darius panicked, hurriedly trying to explain:

  “Honored human powerhouses, please remain calm! It was all just a misunderstanding! I only meant to capture him!”

  “Our two races have always maintained close cooperation! We have a pact—demigods do not destroy each other’s divine domain cores, nor do we exterminate each other’s core followers. I would never break that agreement!”

  “Besides, I never even breached his divine domain! How could I have possibly destroyed his core?”
