Over ten thousand heavy dreadnoughts, three hundred Titan-Class flagships, and five million elite soldiers were a force capable of flattening a solar sector with ease.
Therefore, a newly developed Type 1 world such as Zenith was completely beyond consideration of offering any resistance.
Epos did not sit inside the ships like other Dominators would.
He floated at the very forefront, like a meteor of Celestial Light.
His very being radiated a light energy so intense that the surrounding celestial bodies illuminated in his wake.
In his hand, he held the famous Jörmungandr spear. The same weapon he had stolen after subjugating the Ancient Naga World known as Virsalis.
The story of stealing such a world treasure was quite an interesting one, but today he was not here to speak about that.
His serpentine eyes locked onto the tiny blue planet before his armada.
A protective Planetary shield covered it, but it was barely a matter of concern for Epos, who was a Type 4 Legendary Beyonder and a Marquis as a Dominator.
He held the Jörmungandr spear tightly in his hand, then infused it with intense light energy, making it come to life.
Then, like throwing a javelin, he domineeringly threw it toward the glowing blue shield.
"Destroy!"
BUZZZ!
The Jörmungandr spear buzzed through the vacuum of space, expanding rapidly until it transformed into a colossal, ethereal serpent composed of blinding white light.
"SSSSSSSSS..."
The ancient world treasure bared its radiant fangs, threatening to swallow the entire blue planet whole.
It cut through the void like a hot knife through butter, leaving a trail of fractured space in its wake.
Down on the surface, the sky lit up with a
horrifying apocalyptic brightness.
It felt like the end of the world.
However, before the spear could even touch the planet’s baseline atmospheric barrier, the five planetary-scale LORD Class warships reacted.
HUMMMMMMM!
With world shattering hum, the mechanical leviathans took a defensive star formation.
It formed an impenetrable dome over Zenith, completely eclipsing the incoming light.
The light-infused serpent slammed directly into the black barrier.
"Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
An explosion of cataclysmic proportions rippled across the solar sector.
The shockwave was so immense that it shattered several nearby asteroids into dust, sending blinding waves of energy cascading across the dark void.
Yet, the black shield did not even ripple.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSS!"
The Jörmungandr spear groaned under the absolute resistance.
Defeated, It spun through space, then reverted back to its weapon form.
It flew straight back into Epos’s outstretched hand.
Epos caught the spear, but the sheer kinetic back-force slid him back several kilometres through the void.
"How is this possible? This is a World class artifact!"
His serpentine eyes widened with shock.
As the blinding smoke from the explosion cleared, the true scene was finally revealed to the Spider Expanse armada.
"OH LORD, HAVE MERCY!" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Five mechanical mayhems, each incomprehensible in scale, floated beside Zenith like artificial planets forged for doom.
Their colossal hulls stretched across the void, so vast that each resembled the gaping maw of a stellar leviathan ready to devour worlds.
Countless Void Cannons protruded from every section of their bodies, twisting outward like the grotesque limbs of terrifying space worms.
They looked like five mechanical apocalypses, silently drifting through the cosmos.
Inside the flagship of the Spider Expanse vanguard, the commamders who had been preparing for an easy slaughter went dead silent.
The holographic scanners on their command bridges were flashing frantically, completely unable to calculate the power levels of the targets in front of them.
"What... what is that? That is just a Type 1 Civilisation! So where did they get five planetary-class warship?"
Floating at the very front of his armada, Epos’ face turned dark.
He realized that the intelligence he had received about Zenith was completely worthless.
This was not a regular human world waiting to be plundered, it was a slumbering dragon lair.
From the bridge of the central LORD Class warship, Neo’s image was suddenly projected directly into the cold void of space, standing thousands of feet tall for the entire enemy armada to see.
"Is that the best the Spider Expanse can do? Pathetic! Lord Epos, since you went through the trouble of bringing your entire vanguard to my doorstep, I hope you are prepared to leave every single one of your ships behind."
Epos clenched his fist so hard that the veins were about to burst apart.

Commander Aeliana offered a crisp military salute.
"Supreme Commander. The enemy Vanguard is completely stalled in their tracks. Our automated Void Sentinels are standing by for boarding countermeasures. Should we open fire?"
Neo replied with absolute grace:
"Not yet, Aeliana. Let them realize the depth of their mistake first. I want them to truly feel the teeth of the wolf."
Just then, the heavy blast doors of the bridge slid open. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Noir and Zestia walked in. Noir wore a sleek, pitch black combat suit that perfectly clung to her curves, while Zestia was adorned in flowing golden battle suit.
"Darling, you are simply too cruel. Look at the poor snake’s face. You completely ruined his grand entrance. I bet he practiced that little spear throw in front of a mirror for days."
Zestia rolled her eyes, "This is not a joke, Noir! That is Lord Epos. He just threw a world class treasure at us. If Neo had not built these ridiculous ships, Zenith would be a pile of ash right now."
"But he did build them, Little Zestia. And now we get to play with five million elite soldiers. I have not had a proper workout in centuries. Darling, do I have permission to take the shadow units and board their Titan ships?"
Neo laughed and said, "Patience Noir. You will get your bloodbath soon enough."
He turned back to his Elven Commanders. "Vaelar, what is the status on the planetary healing array?"
"Fully operational, Supreme Commander. Nyx’ dark healing arrays will help us minimise the losses."
Nyxaris puffed out her chest slightly, "I did my absolute best, My Emperor. The array will hold on, even if they breach the outer atmosphere. Nobody on Zenith is going to die today."
"Good. Let the battle begin."
