At the same time, the other three battlefields also showed a fierce situation of "blooming on three fronts".
The four superior forces no longer simply defended themselves, but chose to take the initiative.
They were seen leading the charge like brave and fearless pioneers, resolutely leading the reinforcements behind them and advancing vigorously forward.
The courageous advancement of the four major forces caused the entire battlefield situation to change in an instant.
The invaders seemed to be caught off guard by this sudden counterattack, and the defense line that seemed to be on the offensive began to waver.
However, as the invaders' orders were quickly conveyed, the situation changed quietly.
They gradually stabilized their position and immediately launched the tactic of ship-to-ship bombardment.
In an instant, the void of the universe was illuminated by artillery fire as bright as day. Ships were destroyed one after another in the fierce exchange of fire, bursting out with brilliant and deadly light.
However, the major forces responded quickly, and other ships quickly filled the vacancies and continued to engage in fierce fighting.
The invaders' ships were already limited in number and had not been replenished. Under such high-intensity bombardment, the losses became increasingly serious and they gradually showed signs of exhaustion.
Soon, they were almost completely wiped out. When the last intruder ship was successfully destroyed, the ships of each faction uniformly turned their main ship's guns and pointed them towards the ruins.
For a moment, energy cannons were like a torrential rain, firing continuously at the ruins without any regard for their lives. The sound of cannons roared with almost no pause.
What’s strange is that among the invaders on the opposite side, those star-cluster-level strongmen did not intervene from beginning to end.
This unusual behavior undoubtedly confirmed everyone's speculation: the invaders' top leaders intended to use them to clean up the low-end races on the periphery.
Although everyone knew that they were being used, they had to do it because of the situation.
Under the continuous bombardment of powerful energy cannons, the outer populations were simply unable to resist and were quickly wiped out, as if they had never existed in this universe.
When the outer populations were cleared out, the battlefield fell into a brief silence.
Ships from various forces were suspended in the void, their energy cannons still pointed at the ruins, ready to deal with any new invaders at any time.
"Why haven't their star cluster-level powerhouses shown up yet? There must be something fishy going on." The Father of Giants spoke through the communication channel, his voice resonating among the various forces like a huge bell.
"Whatever the conspiracy, we've come this far."
The God of Light had a solemn expression on his face, his eyes fixed firmly in the direction of the ruins.
"According to the original plan, Seven and the others should have already gone deep into the ruins. We must buy them more time."
At this moment, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the ruins, as if some terrifying existence was awakening.
Immediately afterwards, a huge beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds and distorting the surrounding space beyond recognition.
"Oh no! What kind of power is this?" The old wizard's voice was filled with a rare hint of tension.
At this moment, the depths of the ruins were shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
The leaders of dozens of races stared at the direction where the black fog was spreading. Intense feelings of uneasiness, like turbulent undercurrents, surged in their hearts, and they kept issuing warnings.
Originally, they had made careful plans, hoping to use the four major forces to clean up those troublesome low-level populations and prevent future troubles.
But who could have expected that the four major forces would so decisively form a "suicide squad" composed of star-cluster-level strongmen, directly penetrate into the core area of the ruins, and alarm the monster. Damn it.
A few minutes ago, beside the cosmic rift deep in the ruins that connected to the unknown horror, more than forty star cluster-level powerhouses stood like ghosts.
Their eyes were cold and full of mockery as they looked down at the twelve people who had sneaked in.
Zero and others suddenly felt as if they were on the edge of an abyss and their situation was precarious.
Zero never expected that the other party would concentrate all the star cluster-level powerhouses at the crack of the universe. As a result, they were instantly trapped in a desperate situation.
Zero frowned slightly and quickly glanced at his companions around him. Although there was tension in their eyes, there was more determination.
Zero knew very well that he must not panic at this moment and must come up with a response plan as soon as possible.
He thought to himself that although the enemy had an absolute advantage in numbers.
But these twelve people on our side are elites carefully selected by major forces. Each of them has unique and powerful abilities. If they can be used properly, there may still be a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, a strong man leading the opposite side let out a sinister laugh, breaking the brief silence.
"You think you can stop us with just a dozen of you? That's wishful thinking!"
Zero snorted coldly and replied fearlessly: "It's still uncertain who will win!"
After he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared around him, and a powerful energy wave spread out from him, as if announcing to the enemy that they would never sit still and wait for death.
The other eleven people also released their own strength. For a moment, light shone in the depths of the ruins, and two completely different and powerful forces confronted each other.
However, the huge gap in the number of people on both sides was like an insurmountable chasm. After just a few minutes, four of Zero and his companions had been killed.
Those invaders were like hunters playing with their prey, their eyes full of mockery and cruelty.
Zero was extremely anxious and looked around eagerly, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
At this extremely critical moment, for some unknown reason.
His sight was involuntarily attracted by a huge black fog, as if it was firmly locked by an invisible force and could no longer be moved away.
Then, a strange female voice suddenly sounded in his mind without any warning: "Use the rule props in your hand to attack the black fog."
"Activate it and you can save the fifth universe. Go, quickly unseal it."
Zero was startled, and the strange sound made him instinctively alert.
But the situation was too critical at the moment to allow him to think too much.
The black fog seemed to hide some powerful force, and perhaps it was really as the voice said, the key to saving the current predicament.
Zero gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He clenched the rule prop that emitted a mysterious light in his hand and threw it at the black fog with all his strength.
The rule prop flew out of his hand, turned into a stream of light, and instantly disappeared into the black fog.
In an instant, the black fog rolled and surged violently like a lake with a huge rock thrown into it.
A dazzling light burst out from the center of the black fog, like a rising sun, illuminating the entire depths of the ruins as bright as day.
Those invaders who were still there, joking around at will, were thrown into disarray by this sudden change.
