"The power of this missile… it's truly worthy of being on par with monarch-level strength," Bai Ze muttered with difficulty.
His Meteorite Beetles evolved twice from their original form as beetles, were known for their extraordinary defense.
Yet under this relentless bombardment, they had been annihilated, with even the Cosmic Insect Emperor barely clinging to life.
"Tianshu City… that's it!"
"All forces, immediately launch an assault on the surface of Tianshu City!"
Seizing the opportunity during the enemy's attack, Bai Ze issued a divine decree.
Earlier observations had revealed that the surface of Tianshu City was a weak point for the massive entity. Exploiting this weakness could potentially deal significant damage.
"Bai Ze's creatures aren't all dead? Could it be that this time the insects have a defense even stronger than Goddess Tang's dragons?"
"Forget that for now look! The creatures are attacking Tianshu City!"
The loss of his generals filled Death Scythe Jed with fury. Leading the charge, the three factions rushed toward Tianshu City.
Without hesitation, Death Scythe Jed raised its twin scythes high and slammed them into the ground.
In an instant, the tough metallic surface was breached with two massive gouges. It seemed the Endbringer had sensed the threat, causing the entire planet to tremble violently.
Hundreds of transparent laser beams and a hail of bullets rained down from the skies above Tianshu City.
"Roar!"
"Skywing Tigers, follow me! Block these attacks and buy them time!"
Taotie roared and led by example, using its own body to shield against the laser beams.
Not to be outdone, Gatanothor and the Sea Sovereigns joined in.
Taking advantage of the moment, Kunpeng and Death Scythe Jed worked together, unleashing beams of white and yellow light against the ground.
With each Skywing Tiger and Sea Sovereign that fell, their attacks only became fiercer.
Finally, large chunks of metal debris were blasted away, and a visible breach was forcefully opened by the two creatures.
"It's injured! It's injured!"
"Bai Ze managed to damage that creature. It's already wounded!"
"No way! That armor was so tough, yet Bai Ze managed to break through. Could he stand a chance against it?!"
Seeing the Endbringer momentarily suppressed, hope flared among the onlookers, especially those from Tianzhou Academy.
However, in the preparation room, the teachers remained grim-faced.
They knew all too well that the Endbringer was merely warming up it had yet to unleash its full power.
"This isn't going to work. This is only the first wave of attacks, and the casualties are already this high."
"As expected, a peak Commander-level creature is not something a freshman can defeat."
As they shook their heads in regret, Pang De Xingjiang stroked his well-groomed mustache and smirked slightly.
"Well, it's over now!"
No sooner had he spoken than disaster struck for Bai Ze.
In the distance, atop a hill of pure metal, a colossal cannon hundreds of meters tall began to rise.
The barrel swiveled, locking directly onto Bai Ze's remaining forces.
"That's…" Bai Ze froze, his pupils contracting as he shouted urgently, "Dodge! Quickly, everyone, dodge!"
With a wave of his hand, he issued the highest divine command.
But it was too late. The massive cannon unleashed a burst of energy at speeds beyond perception.
The sheer scale and scope of the attack left no room for escape.
In a desperate move, Taotie created a black hole before it, sacrificing itself to absorb the brunt of the blast.
But against such overwhelming power, all resistance proved futile.
The raging energy engulfed the army, obliterating Taotie and leaving no haven within Tianshu City.
A sandstorm of destruction erupted, piercing through the dim sun above and sending beams of light shooting skyward.
When the chaos subsided, Taotie was nowhere to be seen.
All of Bai Ze's creatures lay lifeless or gravely injured, scattered across the battlefield.
Death Scythe Jed struggled to lift itself with its scythes, but the unbearable pain left it paralyzed.
"Zzzzz~~"
A mechanical hum echoed from within the machine-planet as if mocking the creatures' incompetence and ridiculing Bai Ze's weakness.
The scene fell into dead silence. It was clear that Bai Ze had reached the end of the road.
"Bai Ze, can you hear me?"
Suddenly, a voice broke through the mechanical cacophony.
"Is that Teacher Zhou?" Bai Ze recognized it instantly.
Outside, Teacher Zhou Qing stood at the forefront of the preparation room, holding a microphone-like device to communicate with Bai Ze.
"Bai Ze, that's enough. You've already done very well."
"Concede. You've managed to damage the Endbringer this achievement alone is enough to surpass Tang Qingcheng. There's no need to push further."
"Conceding now is the best choice. It will prevent your creatures from developing psychological scars that could hinder their future growth."
Listening to Zhou Qing's earnest words, Teacher Su, sitting nearby, scowled but remained silent.
A single Heavenfall had wiped out 20,000 troops. The swift strikes had destroyed 10 core nerve systems.
Bai Ze also perfectly suppressed the Mechanical Godzilla and even wounded the Endbringer.
Though Teacher Su was reluctant to admit it, Bai Ze had indeed outperformed Tang Qingcheng.
"Concede…"
Looking at the fallen creatures, Bai Ze's expression turned grim.
"Teacher Zhou, this is a one-time opportunity. I want to try one more time." Bai Ze replied firmly.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing grew anxious.
"Bai Ze, you don't need to force yourself!"
"The Endbringer is a peak Commander-level creature, its sheer size rivaling that of a Monarch-level being! You've exhausted every tactic; it's impossible to defeat it!"
"Moreover, its appearance is practically an extra credit question. Defeating the Mechanical Godzilla was already a victory there's no need to…"
Before Zhou Qing could finish, Bai Ze cut off the communication through the system.
He lowered his head, his face shadowed with determination.
The entire province fell silent, holding their breath for Bai Ze.
Suddenly, the camera shifted, and a few sharp-eyed students noticed something unusual.
"Wait… something's not right!"
"Look! Look at Bai Ze's planet!"
"His planet… it's being overrun by some kind of green substance! It's almost completely covered! What is that?!"
A shocked roar erupted, drawing everyone's attention to Bai Ze's planet.
In that instant, the system's alarm rang out repeatedly in their ears.
