Luo Luo observed the racial attributes of the invaders.

Description: A gifted Behemoth.

The Behemoths encountered this time were much weaker compared to the Golden Behemoth that Luo Luo faced during his demigod trial, but from their talents and skills, it was clear that these Behemoths were a weakened version of the Golden Behemoth. The heroic Behemoth leading the charge had the same occupation as the Golden Behemoth.

This was the enemy that Luo Luo valued the most; as for the other cannon fodder, they were hardly worth mentioning. If others knew that various half-orc legions, which could be considered main forces elsewhere, were being looked down upon by Luo Luo, it would surely infuriate them.

The Worg's attribute panel did not look impressive, befitting their role as cannon fodder. In contrast, the Lion, Tiger, and Leopard races were different; they were the backbone of the half-orc race.

With clearly defined roles, there were magic types, strength types, and agility types. Not to mention there were also aerial units; with such a configuration, anyone encountering them would undoubtedly be overwhelmed.

Race Name: Eaglekin

Constitution: 10

Strength: 12

Agility: 15

Spirit: 13

Talents:

1. Flight: An intelligent race among the half-orcs, they naturally possess the ability to fly.

"Ding, Behemoths invading your divine realm detected."

"Ding, Worgs invading your divine realm detected."

"Ding, Lionkin invading your divine realm detected."

"Ding, Tigerkin invading your divine realm detected."

"Ding, Leopardkin invading your divine realm detected."

"Ding, Eaglekin invading your divine realm detected."

The notifications from the divine realm continued without pause.

Seeing that the enemy numbers had already reached 20,000, Luo Luo felt immense pressure, with a continuous stream of enemies stepping into his divine realm.

Luo Luo thought that relying solely on 20,000 armed robots and 100 psionic tanks was not secure, so he ordered the 100,000 industrial robots on standby to equip themselves with Flame Rifle No. 1 from Warehouse C001 and head to the battlefield.

Before they could arrive, the armed robots had already launched a fierce attack against the enemies.

The Behemoths at the front, with their tough skin and flesh, attracted the most damage but suffered the least casualties. Instead, the subsequent burning damage from the fireballs eliminated many of the surrounding auxiliary races.

Sada did not sit idly by; his Leopardkin suddenly accelerated, clearly activating their Dash skill.

At the same time, the Eaglekin had also gathered, with a base of 2,000 Eaglekin charging towards the war robots. Luo Luo had no choice but to command some armed robots to defend against the aerial units.

At this point, the enemy units gathered at the spatial gate had exceeded 100,000.

At the forefront were the Behemoths, followed by the Lionkin and Tigerkin, with Worgs flanking them, while Leopardkin were already charging ahead, and the Eaglekin hovered nearby, ready to strike.

Fortunately, the industrial robots that Luo Luo arranged had arrived. 100,000 Flame Rifles fired simultaneously at the targets, coupled with the attacks from the war robots, resulting in 120,000 fireballs flying towards Sada's formation. For a moment, it was a scene of devastation. The Lionkin, Tigerkin, and Worgs suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this situation, Sada was also taken aback. He had never seen subjects equipped so lavishly, and Luo Luo was merely a small third-tier demigod, which surprised him even more. However, there was no time for him to ponder this on the battlefield. The attacks continued to cause casualties among his subjects.

Sada quickly issued a divine decree, activating the Bloodthirst skill for all Worgs and instructing the Lionkin to gather magical energy.

He prepared to launch a counterattack to relieve some pressure on his warriors.

But as he waited, the Lionkin's skills did not activate.

"What's going on? It's been 10 minutes, why haven't you released the Magic Flame spell?"

Hearing the deity's accusations, the leader of the Lionkin tribe immediately explained nervously, "Great God, we don't know what's happening, but we truly cannot use the Magic Flame skill."

At this moment, Sada realized that something was wrong with Luo Luo's divine realm.

He carefully observed his subjects and found that neither the Eaglekin's Wind Blade nor the Lionkin's Magic Flame could be used normally.

This directly caused the damage dealt by Sada's subjects to plummet.

Now, only the skills of the Behemoths remained usable, along with the martial skills of the other races and the Worgs' Bloodthirst skill.

Although the primary force remained the Behemoths, the absence of support from the other half-orcs steadily diminished their sustained combat ability.

This made Sada feel a headache; he was indeed the target that the god wanted eliminated. The first encounter had already left him in a mess, and this second encounter had completely thwarted his plans.

War on the battlefield would not stop for anyone. While he was still thinking of strategies, the Behemoths had already collided with the armed robots' defenses.

Relying on their tough skin and flesh, and not being restricted by Luo Luo's divine powers, they rampaged through the robots.

Although they had engaged in close combat with the robots, the cost was tremendous. The initial attacking force of 100,000 had dwindled to fewer than 300 Behemoths and around 10,000 other race warriors.

Among them, the Behemoth at the forefront was visibly larger than its kin. Luo Luo speculated that it should be a heroic unit and immediately ordered the psionic tanks to focus fire on this target.

The heroic Behemoth, feeling the sudden increase in pressure, realized that the enemy was paying special attention to it.

Looking around, it discovered that its kind were few and far between, prompting the heroic Behemoth to let out a furious roar.

"False god, accept the wrath of the Beast God's followers!"

With that, it activated its Armor Break skill.

A large number of armed robots were killed in an instant, and it simultaneously unleashed its Earthsplit skill, clearing a hundred-meter radius around it.

"What a powerful hero," thought Luo Luo as he watched the Behemoth's slaughter of robots, yet he remained calm. No matter how strong one individual was, they could only eliminate a portion of the robots. Meanwhile, the Flamewalker tanks positioned far away were unaffected and continued their relentless bombardment. Luo Luo sensed that the heroic Behemoth's vitality was rapidly declining and was nearing its critical point, meaning it was not far from death.

Once this big trouble was resolved, the other enemies would be much easier to deal with.

"God! I am unwilling!" With its final roar, the heroic Behemoth fell to the ground, clearly lifeless.

Around it, the half-orcs were being slaughtered in droves; although reinforcements were still coming, they could not keep pace with the robots' killing speed, and most of the damage had already overflowed. But it was fine; Luo Luo had plenty of energy.

Many half-orcs prayed to their deity in their last moments, hoping that their Beast God could grant them strength and lead them to victory. Many times before, they had turned the tide and breached the enemy's defenses. This time, however, they could not wait for divine grace to arrive.

So what was really happening? In fact, these half-orcs were waiting for Sada's divine art. As the deity of the Beast God, his divine art could significantly enhance the attack power, defense, and recovery capabilities of the half-orc race, making it a powerful and comprehensive divine skill.

This was one of the reasons he had chosen to confront Luo Luo head-on despite witnessing the armed robots and Flamewalker No. 1. Another reason was his strongest warrior among his subjects, the heroic Behemoth. The combination of the two could create a terrifying being far beyond the demigod stage.

It could be said to be an invincible existence below the demigod level.

However, his tragic fate was to encounter the restrictions of Luo Luo's divine powers. Not only did they limit Luo Luo's divine art, but any deity using divine art while within Luo Luo's divine realm would also be restricted. This was why the half-orcs had not waited for Sada's support.

In fact, he had tried many times to use it, but had failed each time, leading him to realize that Luo Luo's divine realm did not merely restrict the magical attacks of his subjects but also restricted his own divine art.

With his abilities restricted, Sada had no choice but to watch his subjects being slaughtered by robots. When the heroic Behemoth fell, he was filled with despair, regret, and guilt. Losing his life for a moment's performance was not worth it at all.

Some might wonder why he didn't run under such circumstances. This was the third restriction that the Earth source continent imposed on those initiating a divine war: those who forcefully launched a holy war could not retreat. In the end, the victor would claim the loser's divine essence.

Given the current situation, the situation was already very clear. Even if he sent all his subjects from the divine realm over, it would be futile, as his main combat race was all present on this battlefield, and they were about to be slaughtered completely. The logistical units and the weak would only be marching to their deaths.

Sada had already given up all hope.

An hour later, there was not a single breath left among Sada's subjects, and the will of the Earth source continent declared Luo Luo victorious.

At this point, as the defeated party, Sada lost all his power.

But he still wanted to fight for something; who wants to die if they can live? He had not yet experienced the beauty of life; he was still young.

He looked at Luo Luo with a pleading expression.

Luo Luo certainly knew what he was pleading for, but he calmly asked, "Why did you want to kill me? Who sent you?"

Sada wanted to speak, but every person who had infiltrated the Earth source continent had been cursed by the god. Anyone who tried to reveal secrets would die instantly. He had seen a companion nearby trying to disclose the god's plans and dying in an instant, so he understood that he could not say anything now. But remaining silent would also lead to his death at Luo Luo's hands, putting him in a dilemma, and it all depended on what choice he would make.

To say he would die immediately, or not speak and still die. Sada had no choice, but he wanted to exchange other information for his life.

"I dare not say. But I can only tell you that this time I did not kill you, and there will be others coming to kill you later."

Luo Luo perceived the implications behind Sada's words; he did not dare to speak rather than he did not want to speak, meaning the person behind him had significant power or some form of constraint over him.

Luo Luo was indeed a smart person, deducing Sada's specific situation from just a few words, but this did not satisfy him. After all, he still did not know who his enemy was, leaving him with the feeling of striking at thin air, unable to find a point of leverage while having to remain vigilant against further attacks from the enemy. He believed that after this defeat, the opponent sent by the enemy would be even stronger and more challenging to deal with.

This made Luo Luo feel somewhat troubled; only thieves could steal from afar; how could one always be on guard against thieves?

"In that case, you are of no use to me anymore."

"I am useful! I know many locations of treasures and some unique portals to other realms."

"I already have those. What you mentioned is of no use to me. You cannot use these things to bargain for your life." Luo Luo did not lie; as the first in line of the Luo family, his resources were beyond ordinary imagination. If there was a need, Luo Zhenguo would personally look for them for him.

Thus, a treasure or portal known only to a ninth-tier demigod did not entice him.

Seeing the expression on Luo Luo's face, Sada realized that Luo Luo was not lying, and his heart sank. This had been his bargaining chip all along. But seeing Luo Luo's attitude, those things seemed insignificant in his eyes. Thinking of the strange aspects of Luo Luo's divine realm and his powerful subjects and monstrous weapons, Sada understood that Luo Luo was not an ordinary person, and ordinary things held no appeal for him.

But he had nothing better to offer; after all, he had come to the Earth source continent as an undercover agent, not to bring warmth to the people there. The god would not allow him to carry valuable items; he only had some conventional resources, and those treasures and portals were things he had painstakingly found in the Star Academy.

Seeing the look of regret on Luo Luo's face, Sada knew that he was in danger of losing his life at any moment.

"You can't kill me; I'm a student of the Star Academy. You can't kill me." Sada cried out in despair.

Luo Luo recognized the Star Academy, which ranked among the top ten schools on the Earth source continent, but he didn't believe Sada was sent by the academy. The institutions on the Earth source continent were committed to the development of humanity and were filled with a sense of civilizational mission. If they learned of Luo Luo's talents, they would only strive to protect him, not send someone to eliminate him. Therefore, Sada must represent another organization—either one hostile to the Luo family or one that was antagonistic toward the geniuses of the Earth source continent.

Unexpectedly, Luo Luo had nearly deduced the mastermind through simple inference.

This was no ordinary divine conflict; it was not just an assassination attempt on Luo Luo but also an invasion of the Luo family.

Looking at the mad opponent before him, Luo Luo felt bored and casually wiped him out.
