Duality of Shadows-Chapter 981: Unstoppable March
In a corner of that planet, Meru and Ruri were working side by side. Ruri was focused on controlling the formation while being protected by her pets. Obviously, the people on the planet noticed she was the one responsible for the reinforcements not coming, but an army of draconic and mutated beasts kept any attack at bay.
By her side, Meru waited for her mother to open the formation’s gates, then used her tattoos to quickly draw out all the Qi and energy from the planet. Everything had to be done as fast as possible. Meru and the whale were the only ones capable of mastering and moving the energy rapidly.
In just a few minutes, that first planet was reduced to ruins. Once it was done, the whale made a move and stored everything from the planet that had been prepared by Meru. It was a perfect three-way raid.
"Next."
The whale spoke quickly through the array. The entire army was covered in blood, but no one had any major injuries. The few damages were quickly healed, so everyone roared and moved toward Ruri.
She moved the formation and opened a channel. In the next instant, everyone jumped and arrived at the second planet.
*BOOM!*
As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by a horn sharper than a legendary immortal weapon. It exploded through the army’s ranks. But in the end, it couldn’t hurt anyone.
All fifty thousand were ready, with no risk, all 34 thousand who were integrated into the army and born in their universe moved forward. All of them practiced Anima cultivation alongside their common cultivation.
They had all reached the peak of this alternate cultivation and had a micro-universe within their core. Because of this, they carried a subtle version of the heavenly will inside them. This power was unique and different from that of regular cultivators. With everyone using it through the array and connecting... it became possible to subtly alter even reality.
Of course, they could only do this two or three times. And it was really limited to simple things like defense or an abnormal attack. But with perfect synchronization and used at the right moment, the entire army benefited.
An ethereal barrier appeared and magically dispersed the entire energy from the attack. The attacker was a beast that resembled a huge black fish with a sharp, massive horn on its head.
It was an immortal demonic beast, slightly weaker than the previous Infrit. The difference was that its offensive power was much stronger, but it lacked speed and other things.
After the block, terrifying energies unfurled. The people in the front roared and then threw the attack energy aside with precision.
*BOOM!*
The power was enough to destroy half of the planet. Those soldiers used the attacker’s own power to cause the same kind of destruction the two goddesses had done to the other planet.
When the dust settled, they drew their weapons and directly attacked the surviving enemies.

The whale snorted and moved Fides, attacking that beast with unstoppable momentum. They were just testing the new power of their weapons; if they used a bit more, the whole planet would easily collapse, and that would cause more problems than it would solve.
With a simple move of Fides toward the beast, it slaughtered thousands of enemies in its path. The weaker ones couldn’t even withstand the residual winds from the weapon’s movement.
But this made all the stronger enemies focus on him. These people knew he was the biggest threat and used everything they had. He, however, willingly allowed their attacks to approach.
In a second, thousands of attacks landed on him, but the whale paid no attention, and it hit him like a tsunami, distorting the space around him. There were almost a hundred thousand figures at the peak of cultivation attacking a single figure...
All the enemies were stunned and confused. He was suicidal for charging alone... but in the next second, he emerged without a scratch, and that terrified everyone’s hearts. He had a lower cultivation than them, but they had never seen such a terrifying figure before.
The whale approached the beast, and his army attacked as a new macabre battle unfolded.
Even the elders were horrified. They were all comrades of the heroes and considered the most powerful beneath them. But now, they seemed like ants attacking, with most of them being killed in a single move.
On the whale’s side, he didn’t even bother blocking the immortal’s attacks. He just let him strike and waste his energy uselessly. This allowed his allies to eliminate the others, and this immortal, out of energy, couldn’t pull off any unexpected moves and cause trouble.
After he lost two-thirds of his energy, the whale attacked, and a blood rain began to pour. Below, the people saw everything, and this kind of dominant and brutal style terrified them.
In five seconds, the glorious immortal beast protecting the planet was killed like all the others, like cattle. Its body and blood fell from the sky, creating a bloody and terrifying sight.
Except for Ruri and Meru, all the generals were successfully eliminating their targets. They focused on blocking a hundred of the most powerful enemies on their own, and did so with ease.
In terms of kills and battle highlights, Thea was the main one. She was surrounded by mountains of corpses, with her entire robotic body soaked in blood. Wherever she pointed, everything vanished.
There were no longer any big explosions in her attacks. They were shots using the energies of the environment, with bullets made of runes. When a target died from her bullets, the runes absorbed the energies from the body and returned to their owner. With this, she gained more power, becoming even more unstoppable.
In a large-scale battle, Thea just kept getting stronger and stronger. In second place for prominence was Calirer. His soul techniques were equally supreme in this kind of environment. Each death generated souls, whose energies were devoured and used by him, creating devastating strikes.
In third place were Corin and Maelik. The first was an impenetrable shield; everyone who attacked him had their blows nullified and were turned into bloody mist. As for Maelik, he controlled the bodies of a third of the enemies—all demons—forcing them to explode in the middle of their own allies, causing huge damage.
Of course, this was just the visible highlight. Secretly, many figures were moving and acting. Without the support of Rehvka, Nixis, and Kaiyka, for example, these others wouldn’t be able to do what they were doing so freely.
After a few minutes, everything repeated. Meru and Ruri kept working to make everything fast and perfect. Shortly after, the group was already on the third planet.
In just two hours, the twelfth planet had been visited.
Each battle felt like an unstoppable march. Moving in a coordinated killing formation, they swept through the enemies like a machine made of flesh and bone.
Unless immortals appeared, there was no one capable of frightening them. However, all the immortal guardians of the planets were eliminated by the whale. And even if something unexpected happened, the generals had hidden cards to deal with any situation on their own.
*BOOM!*
Suddenly, in the middle of the battle on the last planet, a shocking change took over the battlefield.
After a devastating move, with the detonation of several talismans from Yue, everyone felt their minds clouded. Enemies and allies alike, without distinction, were affected and stopped fighting.
The whale immediately turned its attention to a region between the planets. There, a distortion began to slowly emerge.
"The calamity is very close. End this immediately." The whale ordered through the array.
Anizu and Ciceya were called and sprang into action. Until then, the two immortals had been focused on recovering, staying on standby for exactly this kind of situation.
Both used their most powerful moves once again. The enemies tried to flee, but the calamity’s influence over their minds, combined with the sound of a zither affecting their bodies and souls, left them completely defenseless. They could barely move their bodies.
All the enemies quickly disappeared. But soon after, everyone’s vision suddenly darkened.
The whale was the only one who didn’t suffer any effect from this. He clearly observed the region from which it was coming... it seemed like a pulsating slash from a blade, writhing and taking the shape of an enormous ethereal weapon.
Its presence caused a disturbance in space-time, and everything around it became enveloped in a sharp, suffocating feeling. It perfectly represented the item known as the Blade of Devotion.
Meanwhile, everyone on the planet simply collapsed to the ground before that thing could fully manifest. Alm and Bruno widened their eyes, unable to feel the souls of the people around them.
