Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1759: Chapter 998: All Things Thunder

Gu Hang’s appearance lasted only for an instant.

After he electrocuted Zebert, whom he had longed to see, his figure quickly became transparent and eventually dissipated.

The impression he left on people was just that silhouette suspended in mid-air, and the explosion akin to the blossoming of All Things Thunder.

However, just this scene was enough to leave a deep impression.

Countless brave warriors have spilled their blood on this battlefield, fighting to this day, all for the goal of killing that hateful traitor, right?

He was hateful and powerful, sitting on the throne of decay, seemingly very close, yet appearing incredibly distant due to the countless demons and dozens of Great Demons blocking his way.

Even the most resilient warriors couldn’t help but have a thread of doubt deep in their hearts: Would the victor of this war definitely be us?

This doubt wouldn’t affect their bloody battle. Even if the end is defeat or death, there can be no slackening, so that they can remain true to their conscience even in death.

But when they saw the victory that wasn’t guaranteed even at the cost of their lives, come so easily at Gu Hang’s appearance, they were inevitably a bit dazed.

However, there’s no need for self-pity.

The time Gu Hang could appear was only for that brief moment.

Looking at Gu Jing’s pale face now, one could tell that this psychic far surpassing Alpha-level paid a steep price to summon his father for just a moment with the synergy of Divine Status and cleansing the essence of the Great Demon.

Only one chance, only one moment, what to do? Recklessly using this move, if it didn’t succeed, would lead to disaster.

Thus, even though Gu Hang had indicated a distance, Gu Jing still opted for safety and made arrangements to get as close as possible.

Even when later an unexpected comment from his father about ’the proximity being unnecessary’ came, it mattered little.

Though several excellent Yulin warriors were sacrificed, securing victory made their sacrifice worthwhile.

Besides them, everyone on the battlefield contributed to the final blooming of All Things Thunder.

Without numerous Titans, top-tier experts, interstellar warriors, or human soldiers battling fiercely and putting immense pressure on the Nagor demons, forcing Zebert to make sacrifices to strengthen the Great Demon’s power and leaving the defense lines vulnerable, Gu Jing would have found it difficult to get close enough to release his father.

But regardless, the battle has indeed been won.

...

The death of Zebert does not signify the complete end of the war.

Yet it doesn’t affect the fact that killing him has already settled the state of the war.

The nearest battlefield was the first to be cleared.

After Zebert’s death, the presence of this benevolent father who bestowed many blessings couldn’t be maintained, causing the semi-subspace nature of the whole area to falter.

The Great Demons who had been strengthened not long ago by the sacrifice of lesser demons began to rapidly decline.

They roared angrily with deep voices, but it was meaningless, for they couldn’t reverse the drain of power from their bodies.

Weakening was just the beginning; soon, they couldn’t even maintain their forms.

At this stage, human troops no longer aggressively attempted to eliminate these Great Demons.

There was simply no need.

Protecting oneself was the most important thing.

As for these previously mighty foes, no need to bother with them; given time, they would be finished.

All this lasted for more than half an hour. All the Great Demons disappeared without a trace.

The remaining mid-to-low-level demons, under the onslaught from the Titans and the most elite interstellar warrior units, were quickly annihilated.

Nagor’s losses weren’t limited to just the army.

Those ominous yellow-green mists were also dissipating.

Considering the entire vast battlefield, all Nagor demons and Plague Walkers would be affected and weakened in the ensuing time.

Meanwhile, their entire command structure and combat morale would suffer significantly.

Already under the joint assault from the Slaughter Demon Army and human forces, these Nagor forces weren’t truly a threat anymore.

As for the remaining forces on the battlefield, the Terror Demon Army still posed a problem.

Particularly the Copper Bull Knight Order.

Overall, in the vast strategic battlefield stretching tens of thousands of square kilometers, the biggest threat remained Nagor—they were numerous and widespread, being the main force in the previous Terra Imperial Palace siege.

After defeating them, dealing with the remaining Slaughter Demon Army becomes relatively manageable.

Even the mightiest Copper Bull Knight Order can be handled once humanity’s forces come into focus—at least better than dealing with seventy-seven assembled Great Demons.

Indeed, that’s the reality.

At Corruption Cauldron, human forces now have time for a proper rest.

They would have about six hours of recuperation. During this time, aerial forces were constantly delivering supply materials and reinforcing troops. As planned, two alliance airborne divisions would arrive with ample supplies during this period.

Relying solely on these airborne divisions’ combat power wouldn’t suffice to significantly alter the course of events. The primary fighting strength remained the elite forces like the interstellar warriors already present.

However, they had their uses.

Occupying regions, coordinating with other units, scouting enemy situations... all valuable roles.

While waiting for reinforcements and troops to regroup, as the highest-ranking present figures, Martins, Robert, Yan Xinzhen, Dante, and others held a meeting—Saints Battle Group Leader Raymond Vis was absent, as he was severely injured and still unconscious.

The meeting’s contents were straightforwardly discussed. They were talking about how to proceed with the war’s next steps, which was essentially to regroup forces, rebuild the army’s command structure, and eliminate the Copper Bull Knight Order in this process.

The Copper Bull Knight Order, trying to create chaos, was scattered, gathered in small groups around to cause havoc.

With the elite forces at their disposal now, they could swiftly and efficiently eliminate one group after another without much loss.

It’s worth mentioning that during the meeting, there were two major focus points.

Firstly, Martins.

Robert and Yan Xinzhen frequently looked at him, their gazes growing increasingly peculiar.

Secondly, were the few Yulin troops standing behind Gu Jing.

This mainly concerned Yan Xinzhen.
