Following Old Mist's Sacrifice Line, Feng Qi had learned many invaluable lessons.

One crucial aspect of making decisions is carefully considering all potential consequences.

Take, for example, the advancement of this battle line.

If he hadn't chosen to reveal the truth and launch a war directly, let alone whether anyone would have supported him, he would likely have been executed prematurely.

The warriors following him needed a reason, and the residents of Star City needed an even stronger justification to support him.

When the City Defense Soldiers saw Feng Qi activate his Blood Source Form, their faces betrayed a sense of confirmation.

Before the war began, they couldn't understand Star City's sudden aggression.

Historically, Star City had made significant contributions to Future City's development.

The two cities had repeatedly supported each other, earning them the title of "sister cities." The massive investment in manpower and resources to construct the subway connecting them served as proof of this bond.

Facing Star City, they too needed a reason.

The black shadow provided them with a plausible explanation.

As other cities had been propagating, the black shadow claimed that the super virtual game within Star City harbored a hidden danger. This game, secretly crafted by the Domain Force, could subtly manipulate human minds at a spiritual level.

Star City's decision to wage war against Future City was, therefore, the result of manipulation by the Behind-the-Scenes Domain Faction.

Seeing Feng Qi, their leader, transform into a Blood Giant only strengthened their resolve to defend Future City.

The rain intensified, shrouding the entire Star City in a curtain of water.

At that moment, Feng Qi threw a punch.

Crimson energy enveloped his body, followed by surging dark green flames. The punch, charged with momentum, tore through the rain, unleashing a roar like a dragon's bellow and a tiger's roar. The fist's shadow hurtled forward, striking the City Defense Soldiers blocking his path.

The instantaneous burst of energy sent countless figures flying.

The terrifying force caused the airborne soldiers to cough up blood, their spirit energy armor buckling inward.

"Kill!"

The brutal clash erupted.

From above, two vast steel tides converged at the center, the battle lines twisting as countless figures weaved through the chaos.

The marble-paved ground gradually became slick with blood.

Before the battle, every Dawn warrior had received a single order: advance without regard for casualties and seize Future City as quickly as possible.

Thus, they charged fearlessly toward the City Defense Soldiers who stood their ground.

The City Defense Soldiers of Future City likewise refused to yield.

On their first day as City Defense Soldiers, they had sworn an oath at the Heroes' Cemetery, vowing to protect Future City with their lives.

This battle was the fulfillment of that solemn vow.

Figures clashed, cold steel met, and warriors fell on both sides, yet neither side yielded an inch.

Even the torrential rain couldn't wash away the blood staining the ground.

The brutality of war was laid bare in all its stark horror.

West Gate of Future City.

Mu Qing and her soldiers were immediately greeted by a barrage of artillery fire as they marched toward the gate.

Future City's true strength lay not in its cultivation system.

Victory City and Star City far surpassed Future City in their research into cultivation studies.

Future City's most formidable weapons had always been technological, a strategic direction established from its very founding.

Spirit energy missiles and cannons lit up the night sky, turning it into a blinding day.

A dense rain of projectiles instantly blanketed the western gate's entrance.

Faced with this overwhelming bombardment, many of the vanguard soldiers fell within moments. Yet more warriors surged forward to fill the gaps, following Mu Qing as she charged toward the city gate.

As Mu Qing reached the western gate, she unleashed a fully charged punch.

Jade-colored light instantly enveloped her, and after a brief contraction, the surging energy erupted in the direction of her fist.

The terrifying pressure reversed the rain's trajectory as the jade-colored light collided with the city gate.

The metal used to construct Future City's four main gates had been supplied by the Star City Military Department in its early days.

Historically, this mysterious, special metal had been brought back from the Heaven-Reaching Road by Tian Shu and gifted to the Star City Military Department.

According to the normal course of history, this same metal would later be used for the entrances to the metal passageways outside the Star City Shelter, 1,500 years in the future.

Its defensive capabilities were extraordinary.

Yet under Mu Qing's overwhelming force, the gate visibly buckled inward.

As her power surged further, the gate's deformation accelerated, the paint peeling away as the metal warped.

Before the incredulous eyes of the City Defense Soldiers, a deafening roar erupted as the once-impregnable gate collapsed inward with a thunderous crash.

Immediately afterward, Dawn warrior, enduring heavy fire, poured through the breach in a steady stream.

At that moment, Mu Qing leaped onto the city wall, her figure flashing as she smashed spirit energy cannon in half with each strike.

Countless figures followed Mu Qing onto the wall, working in tandem to destroy the technological weaponry and disrupt the City Defense Soldiers' suppressive fire, minimizing casualties.

Below, dawn warrior seized the opportunity to cross the breached city gate and clashed head-on with the City Defense Legion soldiers rushing to meet them.

A brutal battle erupted at the western gate.

Meanwhile, at the eastern gate, the Prajna Battle Group, leading the charge, had reached the city gate.

Lacking Mu Qing's terrifying combat prowess, they couldn't breach the gate quickly. As Zong Ming broke through the gate, waves of warriors scaled the walls, prioritizing the destruction of technological weapons to disrupt the City Defense Soldiers' firepower and reduce casualties.

The battle lines stretched simultaneously across the eastern, western, and southern gates of Future City.

A torrential downpour lashed the city, as if the heavens wept for humanity's self-destruction. Blood-red became the dominant color of the battle.

Amidst the chaotic clash of figures, each life flickered like a candle in the wind, poised to be extinguished at any moment.

Both sides held an unwavering belief that they could not retreat, yet it was precisely this conviction that made the war all the more brutal.

Under the cloak of night, Future City had transformed into a living hell.

At this moment, in the central district of Future City, a black shadow hovered in the night sky, its gaze fixed on the northern part of the city, a hint of helplessness on its face.

Though all the dead were human, these humans were meant to die for its future plan, not prematurely in this inexplicable war. In its eyes, the City Defense Soldiers should have had far greater strategic value.

With a sigh, the black shadow shook its head. It retrieved its communicator, pressed the intercom button, and spoke in a cold voice:

"Activate the war machine!"

"Understood."

Shortly after the command was issued, massive circular metal platforms rose from multiple districts within Future City. Atop each platform stood a war machine, dozens of meters tall.

Their forms varied greatly. Unlike the sleek, humanoid mechs seen in movies and anime, these war machine possessed no aesthetic appeal, nor were they designed to resemble human figures. Conceived solely for war, their grotesque steel bodies bristled with advanced weaponry, resembling monstrous beasts crouching on their metal platforms in the rain.

As blue lights flickered across their surfaces, the beasts stirred to life...
