"In eight days, we have lost fifty-three cities, and even the entire continent of Black Africa has been occupied. The situation is becoming increasingly dire."

"Since that enormous crack appeared in the sky three days ago, many powerful beings from beyond the heavens have descended..."

"We can't win a fight, and there's nowhere to retreat. Sigh."

On the floating island in the sky above the Earth Federation Parliament, one powerful figure after another arrived, and countless fighter jets took off, obscuring the sky, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene.

Each powerful figure wore a solemn expression, filled with deep worry and despair, as if the end of the world had arrived.

These extraterrestrial powerhouses are all super martial artists from various continents, each a hope and backbone of their respective nations.

At this moment, in the council hall, many powerful figures sat in their chairs, each with their own thoughts and solemn expressions.

"What kind of monster caused this sudden crack in the sky?"

"To be able to cleave such a huge crack in the sky, that's terrifying strength!"

"Tell me, who exactly is this visitor from outer space?"

"I don't know, but I personally witnessed people descending from outer space. They weren't the three-headed, six-armed beings we imagine. I think, in terms of appearance, they weren't much different from us..."

The councilors whispered among themselves, but could not reach an answer.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the parliament hall trembled, and ripples spread through the void.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted, startling them awake. Everyone shuddered, their hair stood on end, and they stared in astonishment.

Suddenly, a councilor's body exploded, turning into a shower of light.

This scene terrified many lawmakers, who screamed in horror.

"Gentlemen, do not be afraid. We will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. This person insulted us and deserves to die."

A hoarse voice rang out.

A ghostly green light flickered, and an old woman appeared in the conference hall. She had loose, silver-gray hair, wrinkled skin that resembled tree bark, and dull, lifeless eyes. She stood there eerily, like a skeleton, sending chills down one's spine.

"A visitor from outer space?"

A group of councilors were terrified and huddled together in a corner.

"May I ask who you are?"

One of the lawmakers asked cautiously, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"I am the Second Protector of the Black Palace—the Night Demon!"

The old woman grinned, revealing a set of uneven, yellow teeth, and said in a sinister tone, "I've come here today to persuade you all to submit to my Black Palace and join me in resisting the extraterrestrial enemy. If you agree, I guarantee your safety!"

hiss!

"To submit to you?"

The lawmakers' expressions changed drastically.

"impossible!"

Some protested vehemently: "The Black Palace is a foreign power. We would rather die in battle than submit."

"good."

Some people echoed this sentiment, their attitude resolute.

An enemy from outer space—who dares to surrender?!

The Night Demon coldly stared at them: "Do not be so stubborn! A woman has cleaved a crack in the protective barrier of this Earth. Now the divine sons and holy daughters of the major powers have descended. You are too weak. If you do not submit, your death is not far off!"

"You're threatening us?!"

One of the lawmakers was furious.

"good."

The Night Witch said arrogantly, "You have no choice but to submit. Otherwise, you will die!"

"We will fight to the death."

"We must protect the last piece of land on Earth."

Representatives expressed their positions one after another.

The Black Palace is a powerful force from another race, but even they have their dignity!

"Hehe, you are all right. Of course we cannot submit to their Black Palace. What are they, a mere inferior civilization? Let me introduce you to the overlord of our Ice Star—the Frost Empire! We are a mid-level civilization!"

Just then, a hearty laugh came from the gate.

A man dressed in black armor walked into the council hall, looking dashing and imposing with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes!

With his hands behind his back, exuding an air of arrogance, he glanced at the crowd in the hall and said disdainfully, "Gentlemen, our leader, His Majesty the Frost King, is currently in seclusion. He will emerge soon. You shall all submit to him!"

"Surrender? Dream on! We would rather die than submit."

A member of parliament roared angrily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the man in black armor glared at him, and with just that one glance, the councilor, who was at the early stage of the Saint Realm, exploded and died.

hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock.

To instantly kill a Saint Realm expert in a single encounter—what terrifying strength is that?

"Is there anyone else who disagrees?"

The man in black armor looked around, and wherever his gaze fell, the councilors fell silent, filled with fear.

"Wow, it's so lively here!"

"They come really fast when it comes to taking over territory!"

Several more figures rushed in, each exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed the entire area, as if the might of heaven had descended.
