Let's start by analyzing the sun

In the halo screen.

As the God-slaying Mantis of the Divine level rapidly ascended to an altitude of several hundred kilometers, its body suddenly changed.

It flashed all over, and black gas surged from its body, instantly forming a dark, illusory image of a mantis.

Compared to its main body.

The illusion was several times larger, with a body length exceeding ten kilometers.

Subsequently.

The mantis illusion transformed into a stream of light, streaking across the sky like a thunderbolt, and crashed headlong into the Myriad Puppet God General above the firmament.

Most bizarrely, the illusion actually shrunk as it flew.

Originally ten thousand meters long, it later shrunk to less than one meter, turning into a miniature mantis.

Not only that.

This thing's black gas was as solid as substance, and layers of ripples rippled around it for thousands of meters.

This was undoubtedly the reason why powerful divine power was affecting the real space.

All of this happened extremely quickly.

It wasn't until the distance between them was reduced to less than a hundred kilometers that the Myriad Puppet God General reacted, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

From this, it can be seen.

Just how fast this strike of the God-slaying Mantis was.

At the critical moment.

The figure of the Myriad Puppet God General suddenly blurred, and another divine puppet quickly emerged from his body, stiffly facing the mantis illusion.

The God General himself disappeared.

This was precisely – the Divine Puppet Substitute Technique.

In the next instant.

The mantis illusion swept over like lightning, opening its mouthparts to reveal an extremely sharp needle.

That's right.

It was a needle!

Cheng Han merely saw it through the halo, and his entire person immediately felt a chill down his spine.

It was as if his soul was about to be annihilated, ceasing to exist.

He instantly understood that this needle was an attack aimed at the soul.

Even a God General, if stabbed by this thing, would probably not escape unscathed.

The All-Knowing Eye immediately provided a piece of information, informing him of the origin of this needle – the Godfall Needle.

"Mantis" is God-slaying;

"Needle" is God-falling;

From these two names alone, it can be seen that the God-slaying Mantis is a terrifying insect used by the swarm to deal with Divine-level powerhouses.

Above the halo.

The Godfall Needle flashed and disappeared, instantly piercing through a hundred kilometers, accurately hitting the divine puppet's forehead.

The latter didn't even have time to make a dodging action.

Then.

A small hole appeared in the divine puppet's forehead, and it silently dissipated.

Cheng Han knew at a glance that this was because a trace of divine soul power within the divine puppet had been annihilated, which caused this situation.

Then again.

A shocking thing appeared.

The halo screen changed, revealing the scene of the boundless void.

The figure of the Myriad Puppet God General actually appeared in the void.

His complexion looked a little pale, which should be because he had lost a trace of his divine soul.

Just then.

A slender black needle appeared out of thin air next to the Myriad Puppet God General.

A look of shock flashed in his divine eyes.

The God General never expected that even after using the Divine Puppet Substitute Secret Technique, this needle would destroy the substitute and actually chase him into the void.

Unfortunately, because the distance was too close, he couldn't do anything.

The Godfall Needle flickered, and another small hole appeared in the God General's forehead.

"Ah～"

A scream.

The Myriad Puppet God General turned into a corpse.

"Puff!"

The Godfall Needle exploded into a cloud of black gas, covering the corpse and turning it into a cloud of ashes.

The only fortunate thing was that this was just an avatar.

The Myriad Puppet God General did not fall.

Cheng Han shook his head: "This should be a powerful avatar. The Myriad Puppet God General has lost a large amount of divine soul and divine essence this time, and his strength is probably severely reduced."

In a word.

The construct strategy went bankrupt, and an avatar was also beheaded. The Myriad Puppet God General simply suffered a huge loss.

More importantly, in the eyes of the Supreme Divine Court, the Myriad Puppet God General has already been labeled as "incompetent".

Unless a miracle happens next, this God General will definitely have no chance to turn the tables in the future.

*

Five minutes later.

Another of Cheng Han's guesses became a reality.

"Boom!"

A earth-shattering loud noise.

The world seemed to shake.

An extremely vast transcendent wave spread throughout every corner of this world.

The sky quickly turned emerald green.

Tens of thousands of green light pillars descended from the firmament, each light pillar accurately hitting a giant firmwood tree.

In the green light filling the sky.

The firmwood trees quickly became blurred, then disappeared, leaving only a large water pit in the swamp.

"哗啦~"

Dark black waves surged up.

Clearly.

The Heaven Slaughter Divine Sovereign, who was in charge of the Southern Departure Star Cluster, officially issued the order for a full evacuation.

However.

The Calamity Swarm did not sit idly by.

Large masses of black gas rose from every corner of the swamp, flying in groups towards the light pillars, trying to stop the Myriad Hao Clan from retreating.

Looking out.

Light pillars rose and fell one after another.

Black gas flew all over the sky.

The scene looked extraordinarily spectacular.

Cheng Han glanced at it a few times and quickly did an analysis.

Another halo emerged.

A picture appeared on it:

This was a giant insect with a body length of over two hundred meters, its shape a bit like an elongated toad, its body surface covered with fleshy bumps, looking quite disgusting.

This thing lurked in the depths of the mud, its mouth wide open.

"Gudu~"

As the giant insect's throat churned, a large mass of black gas spurted out, instantly rushing out of the swamp's surface and rapidly flying towards a light pillar.

A piece of information flashed out.

It contained the name of this thing – Calamity Toad.

Although the prefix was "Calamity", not the more powerful "Destruction", the strength of this insectoid was not weak at all, judging from the intensity of the black gas fluctuations.

Cheng Han muttered, "So the Calamity Swarm also has artillery units?"

On the battlefield.

The Calamity Toad's interception did have some effect.

After a green light pillar was hit by a mass of black gas, it seemed to be interfered with, and the speed at which the firmwood tree enveloped by the light pillar disappeared slowed down significantly.

If it was hit by multiple masses of black gas, its form would become unstable, unable to take away the giant firmwood tree, and could only teleport the personnel and constructs on it.

If the black gas attack was more fierce, the light pillar would actually be directly dispersed.

Cheng Han personally saw a firmwood tree being teleported halfway, the light pillar unable to withstand the black gas attack, and collapsing all at once.

A terrifying scene appeared.

The firmwood tree instantly shattered.

The personnel stationed on it died instantly.

A quarter of an hour later.

The battlefield returned to calm.

All the light pillars disappeared.

This represented the end of the retreat.

Cheng Han sighed softly, his figure disappearing along with it.

Although this full army retreat from the Death Swamp Realm preserved most of the living forces, the price paid was not small.

At least three thousand firmwood trees, along with millions of Mystic Masters and warriors, were laid to rest in this world.

Before long.

Cheng Han shuttled to the edge of the void.

He overlooked groups of small black dots, which were the Calamity Midge Swarms, circling back and forth in the sky, seemingly celebrating their victory.

A trace of coldness flowed in Cheng Han's eyes: "So many Myriad Hao people died in vain, this matter must not be left like this!"

Through this battle.

He suddenly realized one thing.

The initial Death Swamp Realm was definitely not a desolate scene.

It must have been that the Calamity Nest devoured a large amount of life force and hatched an extremely large swarm, which led to the dead silence in the swamp.

Cheng Han whispered, "I can sense that this world's will is weakened to the extreme, and is already on the verge of collapse."

The corners of his mouth curved slightly: "This may be a place that can be utilized."

Just like the cloud light of the Cloud Sea Realm that lasted for tens of thousands of years.

No world's will is willing to disappear like this.

Since the Sand-Bewildering Vine can be used to help the ant swarm's pan-consciousness advance to world will, a similar method may be taken to help the Death Swamp Realm's world will regain its vitality.

And with the assistance of the world will, it is equivalent to planting a nail in this world.

Cheng Han fell into a long period of contemplation: "Where should I start specifically?"

*

Sand-Bewildering Realm.

A terrifying sandstorm had already appeared on the horizon.

Another avatar of the Myriad Puppet God General stood on the top of a giant tower, quietly watching the distant sky full of yellow sand.

The great rout on the swamp battlefield gave this God General an extremely heavy blow.

His mood also changed from the original high spirits to the current full of dejection.

He worked hard for a long time.

In the end, it turned into a joke.

After a while.

The sandstorm in the distance clearly advanced a large distance towards this side.

The Myriad Puppet God General suddenly asked, "By the way, how is the rectification on the God City side progressing?"

The so-called "rectification" naturally refers to the comprehensive rectification action carried out by the various Mystic Palaces of the Cloud Sea Realm on the numerous factories.

The dignified God General lost a lot of face, and those unlucky stewards became the object of the God General's anger.

A Mystic Master standing beside him said with a trembling face: "As of this afternoon, more than 60,000 dereliction of duty personnel have been arrested, and it is expected that the comprehensive rectification work can be completed within two days."

A hint of coldness flashed in the Myriad Puppet God General's divine eyes: "Send these garbage to the front line labor camps as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

With the current situation in the Southern Departure Star Cluster, once these prisoners are sent over, they will definitely not have a chance to leave alive.

The God General casually said a word and plunged tens of thousands of people into the abyss.

The Mystic Master carefully asked, "May I ask, what else do you have to order?"

The Myriad Puppet God General was silent for a moment, and said a little listlessly: "Notify the God City, make some adjustments to the construct's production plan."

The results on the swamp battlefield have already proved that the constructs are indeed not very useful, and the God General will naturally not go down a dark path.

The Mystic Master mustered his courage and asked, "Please tell me, how should the plan be adjusted."

The Myriad Puppet God General slowly said: "In small-scale battles, the construct legion has some use, reduce the plan to 10% of the original."

Cutting the production capacity by "90%" in one breath, this represents that the God General officially admitted that the plan failed.

The reason for retaining "10%" of the production capacity is more out of his own face issues, and "has some use" is just an excuse.

The Mystic Master quickly responded: "Understood!"

The Myriad Puppet God General then issued another order: "Use all the spare production capacity to produce war eagles and guided mystic weapons."

"Yes!"

Subsequently.

The Mystic Master respectfully left.

The Myriad Puppet God General stood quietly in place, letting out a long sigh.

He was very unwilling.

But he was helpless.

*

Cloud Sea Realm.

Inside the factory.

Cheng Han completed a design drawing, and a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes: "Constructs are not useless, as long as you change to a new way of thinking, their use is actually very extensive."

He paused for a moment, and whispered, "The Myriad Puppet God General's idea is actually correct, it's just that the path is a little off."

These past few days.

Cheng Han carefully studied it and discovered another application method for constructs.

Using the terminology of another space-time, it is – drones.

This is the real path suitable for constructs.

Cheng Han changed to a new drawing and smiled: "But it doesn't matter, I'll help the God General correct it."
