Chapter 930, The Destruction of the Calamity Fleet

Zakaria is not dead.

But he didn't live a very good life either.

He had one arm severed and both legs broken. He was dragged away from his guards, handed over to a fighter jet, and taken to the location of the church.

He was captured.

This is outrageous, even more outrageous than him being killed.

In the final battle, after realizing he couldn't escape, Zakaria turned and fought desperately, using the evil artifact given to him by Bassol.

These divinely bestowed artifacts were indeed powerful enough that even with two Unfailing Beings suppressing them directly, they couldn't completely stop the release of the warp magic. The three Imperial Guards, who possessed near-immunity to psionic and warp forces, were also severely burned on the spot when they were engulfed by the flames of the evil magic and could not be saved.

This clearly shows that Bassol was not lying; the reward he bestowed was indeed powerful enough. The power of a single strike even exceeded the full-force attack of an average Alpha-level psionicist, which is why it could penetrate the subspace black hole of the Unyielding One and still possess the power to burn the Imperial Guard to death.

But that's about it.

Although Martins, who was engulfed in flames, suffered some injuries, it did not significantly affect his combat effectiveness.

He charged at the enemy and with a swift slash, Zakaria was drenched in cold sweat.

He did manage to catch the blow, but... the pressure was immense.

Martins' sword strike was so fast that Zakaria barely managed to react; after he had reacted, Martins changed his move, the blade's trajectory subtly shifting, and Zakaria reacted again, catching the blow.

However, the force was so great that his power armor was creaking and howling in pain!
Despite the physical blessing bestowed upon him by the evil god, he still lacked the strength, agility, reflexes, and speed to contend with Martins.

The power armor bestowed by the evil god is extremely powerful, top-notch in both power and protection; the battle axe named 'Frosty Bite' is also extraordinary.

But so what? The entire set of equipment on Martins was crafted with the help of Gu Hang, and it was no less than what Bassor had bestowed upon him—in fact, it was even better.

This does not mean that Gu Hang is better than Bassor in terms of equipment and tools.

However, Gu Hang also has many mechanical sages who provide assistance from the side.

Most importantly, what is Zakaria to Bassor? At best, he's a decent henchman, while Gu Hang treats Mattins like his own son, giving him as many good things as possible, afraid that he might suffer a loss.

The difference in effort put in between the two sides widened the gap in equipment.

What chance does he still have of winning?
With his basic strength as the chosen champion, plus a series of blessings from Bassor, Zakaria is finally no longer the kind of person who can be instantly killed.

But that's all there is to it.

His true strength didn't even reach the level of the Bone Shattering King, so how could he possibly fight against a 'Son of God' who was armed to the teeth?

He simply held out a little longer in Martins' hands.

He couldn't withstand the attack and lost his arm.

The Nirvana Blade in Martins's hands is also an excellent relic meticulously crafted by Gu Hang. It contains a portion of the subspace essence from the Storm Kingdom. Combined with the power in Martins's hands, cutting through power armor is no problem.

After losing his arm, Zakaria was even less of a threat.

Martins deliberately spared the man's life, severing his legs and having him dragged away.

Then, he led his team to break through the encirclement. Actually, breaking through the encirclement was much easier than when he had fought his way in.

The White Wolf Guards, already terrified, were only able to keep fighting under Zakaria's orders. Now, with Zakaria, their strongest member and the leader of their war gang who had dominated them for thousands of years, being dragged away like a dead dog, what more could they ask for?

They risked their lives, knowing they were no match for the enemy, to try every possible way to save their fleet commander.

Give me a break.

They've already done a great job by sticking to the current situation.

The real issue is figuring out how the White Wolves can elect a new leader from within themselves after Zakaria's capture.

The White Wolf has suffered a severe blow. How to maintain its position in the entire Calamity Fleet and whether it can continue to have a White Wolf as the leader of the fleet instead of being usurped by other warbands or other ambitious individuals are also crucial issues.

Hmm... they haven't thought about what to do if their calamity fleet is also destroyed.

……

The battle was effectively over once Mattins brought back Zakaria, the Lord of the White Wolves and master of the Calamity Fleet.

The Chaos Legion no longer possesses the capacity to launch another offensive. Their command center has been decapitated, plunging them into chaos. Even setting aside the infighting that ensues after the loss of their authoritative leader, the very issue of how to reorganize the command center after losing unified command will keep them scrambling for some time.

When the enemy stops attacking, their leader is captured, and the most crucial 'thing' remains safely under the alliance's control, then the alliance has no need to provoke trouble.

Waiting, waiting, another wave of air reinforcements arrived.

Martins' forces are gradually becoming more sufficient.

More importantly, ships from other star sectors that originally belonged to the main fleet of the Southern Front Army also returned to provide support.

In the Paparil system, the size of the Alliance fleet gradually changed from the initial situation where they dared not confront the Calamity fleet head-on.

But Martins is very patient.

He did not allow the approaching fleet to rush into battle.

The situation isn't critical, so let's keep a backup plan.

When the number of returning warships reached over a thousand, Martins believed the time was right.

The main fleet, which had been hiding on the back of the planet Papalil and not confronting the Calamity Fleet head-on, immediately launched an attack, with the Glory Queen's warship of the Southern Army showing off its power.

Not far away, thousands of Alliance reinforcement warships, having assembled, broke their silence and sped off at full speed, surrounding the entire Calamity Fleet from behind.

Didn't the Calamity Fleet discover the large-scale gathering and reinforcement of the human fleet?

Yes, it has been discovered.

However, the fleet was in charge of the Space Marines, while the majority of their main force remained on the ground; their command center was still in chaos, and the chaos had not been resolved for several days; there was also internal strife among them...

These factors all prevented the Calamity Fleet from making a decision.

Now, they don't have to make any decisions at all.
