"Are you kidding me?"
"The Divine Attendant... The Divine Attendant was just killed like that?!!"
"How is this possible! If heās also a Demigod, shouldnāt he be suppressed by the rules of the world? Why is this happening?!!"
The dozen or so Saint Tier Insect People and over one hundred High Tier Insect People felt as if they were trapped in a dream.
In their eyes, despite the Giant Dragon Linceās massive size, his power had to be heavily suppressed by the rules of the world.
Otherwise, how could they explain why a creature of such an enormous size only gave off the aura of a Tier Nine?
After the five Demigods made their Descent, these Insect People had assumed everything was settled.
But who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, the Demigod Divine Attendant who had just been boasting would be so easily crushed to death?
That was a Demigod! Not just some random nobody!
The surrounding Insect People were profoundly shaken; even their own Spiritual instincts began screaming warnings at them.
āStay here and youāll die, and it will be a gruesome death!ā
Even the powerful Spiritual instincts of the four remaining Demigods began screaming at them.
Initially, when Lince had not used the Power of Space, the Demigodsā instincts and Spiritual senses had been unable to gauge his threat level.
But now that Lince had displayed his outrageous Space Power and sheer physical strength, the Demigods understood perfectly!
"You!!! What in the world are you?!!"
"You clearly only have the aura of a Tier Nine. Even if you were a powerful Demigod before, you should be suppressed now, unable to use your full strength."
"I understand! Everyone, be careful! This being from the Otherworld is definitely one of their Deities!"
"Only Deities are so heavily suppressed upon their Descent into our mortal world, and the Tier Nine aura is definitive proof!"
"As for why heās so powerfulāhaha, everyone, this Deity is incredibly bold! He actually dared to use his true body for his Descent into our world."
"His physical body is undeniably powerful, and his methods are beyond our imagination, but ultimately, his power is only at Tier Nine!!"
"He must have paid a steep price to kill Paisley in a single blow! This is our chance! A Deity from an Otherworld! If we take him down, weāll have secured a decisive victory in this war!!"
A Demigod Insect Person with horns like a longhorn beetle was laughing heartily.
It was as if he had just uncovered some monumental secret.
Then, in the next moment, his laughter came to an abrupt halt.
"Noisy!"
Because in the next instant, unnoticed by anyone, the Giant Dragonās long, massive tail once again pierced through space and abruptly ran through the Demigodās chest.
The Demigod barely had time to conjure a shield of Magic Power over his body.
But it made no difference.
The moment the Giant Dragonās terrifying tail spike touched the Magic Power shield, it was like a needle piercing through paper, running him clean through!
With the Power of Space coating his body, his lethality against Lower-Rank Species was simply unstoppable.
In the blink of an eye, two Demigods had fallen just like that?
"Run! Quick, run!"
Needing no further explanation, the terrified High Tier and Saint Tier Insect People alike immediately scattered, shooting off in all directions to flee for their lives.
However, what they didnāt know was that the moment the five Demigods had made their Descent, Lince had already sealed all of the Space within a fifty-kilometer radius.
Never mind the High Tier and Saint Tier Insect People; they had no hope of escaping.
Even the three remaining Demigods were just as trapped!
And so, with a single thought, under the Giant Dragonās indifferent gaze, a terrifying wave of fire instantly erupted, centered on the Giant Dragonās body!
Incredible heat and flames swept through the entire area.
The entire cubic space, fifty kilometers in length, width, and height, was filled with a dazzling golden-yellow blaze.
Like a blazing sun, the fire evaporated all it touched and burned the rest to cinders.
"No!!!"
"How can we die here?!!"
"I have so much wealth, so much time left to live! I canāt die here! I refuse to accept this!!!"
"..."
The High Tier Insect People were incinerated in an instant.
The Saint Tier Insect People, however, were still holding on. They used their Magic Power to defend against the scorching flames while concentrating their power to bombard the walls of the sealed Space.
As for the three remaining Demigod Insect People, although they had been terrified by Lince, faced with this situation, all three immediately charged toward him.
āAs expected. Confronting Demigods with only Tier Nine Power is a bit of an overreach.ā
Indeed, while Lince had seemingly killed two Demigods with ease, the Power he had consumed was not to be underestimated.
Lince appeared calm and nonchalant on the surface, but he had used his full strength for both attacks.
The consumption of Magic Power had been astronomical.
And now, maintaining this massive spatial prison while also sustaining the blazing inferno... this level of consumption was proving to be too much, even for the body of a Giant Dragon.
As for Magic Crystals, Lince was already devouring them.
But for the current Lince, the energy replenished by the Magic Crystals was a drop in the bucket.
Even with High Tier Magic Crystals, a thousand of them might not restore even one percent of what Lince had consumed.
Every advancement in Tier was a sublimation of life itself, a quantum leap.
As a member of the Ancient Dragon Species, Linceās Power was immense, but his energy consumption and replenishment were not so easily managed.
These things took time.
It was just as many High Tier and Saint Tier beings needed to rest or even hibernate for years, sometimes decades, after a major battle.
