Chapter 398 Julian Falls
No fireworks lit the battlefield.
No roaring flames marked the strike.
Only three silent lines of death crossed the void.
Finished
ہو
From the Siren, the Ursus, and the Gaia, the gamma-ray bursts cut through the swarm from three separate angles, invisible and merciless.
Low-level insectoids froze in sheets.
Their shells looked untouched.
But inside those intact bodies, flesh and organs had already broken into pale glowing dust, scattering into the lonely dark of space.
Under that cold, faint light, humanity advanced.
Warships pressed forward.
Mechas and spirit forms tore open the way.
The desperate grief from earlier was gone.
In its place came pride.
A pride that had been buried for more than two hundred years.
“Roar!”
The Blazingwing Gold Scorpion roared.
This time, it was not ordering another reckless charge.
It was ordering retreat.
All S-rank and above insectoids were to pull back and preserve their strength.
The Caitlyn Monarch did not object.
Because the instant it realized that even it might be hunted, the butterfly had already spread its wings and fled with the two Helena morphos.
The butterfly ran first.
The butterfly was safest.
Once the Caitlyn Monarch fled, how could the Blazingwing Gold Scorpion, the Giant-Jawed Stag Beetle, and the Demonflower Blood Mantis stay behind?
They withdrew quickly.

But what about the S-rank and 2S insectoids they had previously pushed forward to tighten the encirclement around humanity’s high-ranking fighters?
Those bugs were too close to the human line.
Too close to escape.
So they became prey.
“Hit me now! Come on, hit me now, you dead longhorn! Still think you can rebel against me?”
Finished
First Prince Isolde Mulholland’s thunder lion roared like a maniac, swinging giant cat punches at the 25 Titan Longhorn in front of it.
Adrian Whitmore drove Everfrost straight into the swarm.
His frost crocodile charged beside him. The crescent glaive in his hand swept down at a 25 Golden Tarric Scorpion in close combat.
Victory was right there.
And when victory stood within reach, it was the best time to temper oneself.
Major General Mercer’s veterans released the hatred they had carried for more than a century, charging in and out of the retreating swarm again and again.
Only Ruin did not continue forward.
The wolf did not pursue the Blazingwing Gold Scorpion.
It did not chase the other royal insectoids either.
The moment the situation steadied, it turned around with the 3S insectoid core still clenched in its mouth and ran for Ninefold, howling the entire way.
The wolf had gotten an insectoid core.
The wolf wanted to give it to its beloved Julian.
Inside Ninefold’s command room, however, bright red blood kept spilling from Julian’s mouth.
The Ninefold Reversal Array had finally reached its limit.
Then it shattered into powder.
Everyone understood the rule.
Any technique, array, or forbidden art that forced strength beyond its limit would bite back once it ended.
There was no exception.
Unless someone gave you the chance to grow stronger…

and took every consequence in your place.
Unless that person loved you more than they loved themself.
The silver wolf ran with everything it had.
Ninefold recognized it and opened the protective shield at once.
All so the wolf carrying the core could reach Julian faster.
Faster.
Finished
A little faster.
Ruin wanted to use Starpath Flash again.
But the grand array was gone.
The foundation might be damaged.
The future might be severed.
The body and mind might be wounded until madness took root.
And the worst outcome…
was karma fastening itself to the person who interfered.
A killing calamity born from cause and effect.
Julian had drawn the worst one.
He had saved people.
Thousands and thousands of them.
But who could save Julian?
No one.
Pain tore through him.

His psychic sea hurt.
His reproductive cavity hurt.
Yet both together were not even one ten-thousandth of the agony of his soul splitting apart.
“Awoo!”
Ruin finally burst into the command room.
It was not the only one rushing in.
Eleanor Hart and the other Omegas arrived as well.
Dr. Quill’s entire medical team followed close behind.
But Julian never received the insectoid core the wolf had hunted for him.
He did not answer Orion again.
The hand clutching Orion’s clothes slowly loosened, no longer under his control.
Orion, it hurts so much.
I think…
I cannot hold on anymore.
At the very moment humanity declared its counterattack…
Julian fell.
