Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 982: Joint Assault

…

"Step aside, this Canglan World has been marked by us, the Abyssal Demons! If you dare to snatch it from us, you are declaring war on the Abyss!"

The colossal beast let out a hoarse roar from its maw.

Its language was completely different from that of the Canglan Realm, yet everyone could understand its meaning.

"Ridiculous!"

A low-frequency fluctuation came from the fleet that had just emerged from the black hole in the distance.

A mechanical, emotionless voice echoed in the minds of Poseidon and the other deities.

"Flesh and blood dare to contend with the God of Intelligent Machinery? This Canglan World is fair game for all who see it!

You want to swallow it whole? Then get ready to taste the dark matter annihilation cannon from my M78 Nebula!"

Some of the barrels aimed at the demons.

Others aimed at the Canglan Realm's boundary wall.

Clearly, this intelligent mechanical race was extremely confident, believing it could fight on two fronts simultaneously.

At the same time, a sharp, piercing howl rose from within the countless shadowy planets.

Crimson eyes, one after another, surfaced on the planet's surfaces, brimming with such malice that merely meeting their gaze caused mental confusion.

The sonic wave swept over the fleet cluster, instantly throwing it into disarray.

Even the massive Abyssal Lord shook its groggy head, its gaze towards the fleet and the shadowy planets now tinged with caution and wariness.

The demons were used to running rampant through the small universe, rarely encountering true opposition.

Perhaps the Laws overflowing from the Canglan World were simply too enticing, for the invaders attracted this time were clearly no pushovers.

One intelligent mechanical race, possessing weaponry powerful enough to annihilate civilizations.

A cluster of beings known as the Cosmic Sharks, Star Devourers drifting in from who-knows-where.

Each was more troublesome than the last.

"In that case, let's conquer the Canglan World first."

It snorted coldly, taking the initiative to concede:

"After we have completely overrun the Canglan World, we can then discuss how to divide the spoils. Agreed?"

Neither the intelligent mechanical race nor the Star Devourer cluster voiced opposition, tacitly accepting the proposal for now.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Since they were all invaders now, they would wait until after subjugating this world and seizing all its resources before redistributing them.

The Abyssal Lord took action first. It spread its arms, and a massive crimson magic formation unfolded between its claws, like a giant opening eye.

The center of the formation reflected the scene of another plane—countless demons roaring on scorched earth, wings blotting out the sky, claws tearing the land.

With the Abyssal Lord's low, guttural incantation, the mirror-like surface began to ripple, distort, and gradually solidify into substance.

"Abyssal Invasion!" Poseidon's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, the Twilight of the Gods from ten thousand years ago flashing through his mind once more.

Though he hadn't witnessed the Abyssal Lord summoning the Abyssal Plane back then, he had seen the result—the entire Canglan World reduced to scorched earth.

"Stop it! We cannot let it open a passage between the Abyssal Plane and the Canglan Realm!"

Poseidon's roar still echoed in the air as the various gods sprang into action.

Eve was the first to deploy her Divine Kingdom.

An emerald green radiance erupted from her body, and the Divine Kingdom of Life slowly unfolded in the void—it was a colossal tree connected to the Canglan World.

Its canopy resembled a giant green umbrella, or a shield inverted over the world's barrier, forcefully blocking the entrance to the Abyssal passage.

Hades followed closely—the Divine Kingdom of the Netherworld rose from below, a river of deathly stillness and darkness enveloping half the sky. The Styx flowed through the void, the wails of lost souls reverberating at the passage's mouth, forming a strange equilibrium with Eve's power of life.

After Eve and Hades.

The Divine Kingdoms of the various gods unfolded one after another, layer upon layer, piling up before the Abyssal passage. They were using themselves and their Divine Kingdoms to form a wall to intercept the Abyssal invasion.

At this moment, personal grievances among the gods had become utterly insignificant.

Everyone had only one goal—to protect the Canglan World, to defend their home.

Poseidon was the last to deploy his Divine Kingdom.

The Divine Kingdom of the Endless Sea spread over all the other Divine Kingdoms, amethyst-gold lightning churning across its surface, linking the gods' kingdoms into a unified whole.

Watching this scene, the Abyssal Lord's lips twisted into a ferocious grin.

"Useless." Its voice rumbled like subterranean thunder. "You have so few deities. How long can you hold?

One day? Two? Once your divine essence is exhausted, this passage will still open."

Despite its words, it had no intention of waiting for the gods' essence to deplete.

The reason the Abyssal invasion failed ten thousand years ago was precisely because the Canglan Realm deities managed to stall for enough time.

The longer the delay, the more unexpected variables arise.

This time, it would not give the Canglan World any chance!

The Abyssal Lord turned its head towards the intelligent mechanical fleet and the Star Devourer cluster: "Hey! What are you waiting for? Don't you want the resources of the Canglan World?"

The intelligent mechanical fleet gave no verbal response.

But its cannons glowed.

The radiance of the dark matter annihilation cannon spread through the void, a bizarrely iridescent yet black ray capable of annihilating all material existence.

From condensation to ray eruption took barely a blink.

The gods, led by Poseidon, were all focused on intercepting the Abyssal Plane and failed to react in time.

The black ray slammed into the Canglan World's world barrier.

The already riddled barrier tore like paper, fragments scattering in all directions.

*BOOM—!*

A breach larger than all previous cracks combined appeared in the sky.

Chaotic void currents surged into the Canglan World like a burst dam, evaporating seas, cracking land, and thinning the air in their wake.

With the breach open, the intelligent mechanical fleet began to move.

Countless warships poured in one after another, their hulls reflecting cold light under the suns, their cannons uniformly aimed at the Canglan World's lands.

"Not good!"

Poseidon's heart lurched with alarm, and he immediately tried to disengage to intercept them.

But the Abyssal Lord had already stepped in front of him, sneering with a grating laugh: "Little bug, where do you think you're going?!"

With a casual wave of its hand, a cage of searing flames enveloped Poseidon, woven from Chief God-level divine Laws.

"I am your opponent… Now, either you die, or I live. Until then, you're going nowhere!"

"Damn it!" Poseidon gripped the Sea God's Trident tightly, thrusting it backwards into the cage, straining with all his might to break free.

But he had just suffered grave injuries, and his divine power was mostly depleted; he was no match for the Abyssal Lord.

Watching helplessly as the Canglan World was about to be ravaged under the annihilation cannon's bombardment.

Right at that moment.

A figure clad in pristine white shot up from the surface of the Endless Sea.

Li Qingran, holding a longsword, with seven Auspicious Beasts following behind her, streaked like meteors into the intelligent mechanical fleet.

The White Tiger charged at the forefront.

Its body swelled dramatically mid-flight, its white fur now covered in black patterns. A single tiger's roar cracked the hulls of the nearest warships.

One swipe of its paw cleaved a warship clean in two, metal fragments and components exploding in the air.

The Azure Dragon spewed thunderbolts, purple lightning erupting amidst the fleet, short-circuiting and detonating the mechanical beings within the electric currents.

The Vermilion Bird's flames dyed half the sky crimson, while the Qilin rampaged through the fleet, treading upon auspicious clouds.

The Black Tortoise erected a watery blue shield around Li Qingran, blocking incoming cannon fire from the flanks.

The tide of battle reversed in an instant.

Led by Li Qingran, the seven Auspicious Beasts were like seven sharp blades, brutally tearing a hole in the intelligent mechanical fleet's formation.
