The Martial Unity

Chapter 3607: Erupting War

NOVA was not pleased by the declaration of war and the hastened mobilization of the therianthropes. She was especially displeased by their immediate subsequent attack.

And yet, it was entirely within her predictions.

[Although therianthropic consolidation has exceeded my calculations, it is largely following my Kiriket Model.]

NOVA had known from the very get-go that the Continent of Kiriket would come to the rescue of the Panama Continent shortly after she began her assault upon the Kandrian Empire.

However, Lord Vakratunda had managed to get more people on his side than she had expected.

[I suppose elephants really are wise. He might prove to be more of a thorn in my side than I expected. (≖_≖ )]

It was impressive that, in just a span of five days, he had managed to get many of the clans that were his enemies to jump ship and join his side by making decent negatron matter offers.

Once a handful jumped ship, it created a powerful FOMO effect where not a single person wanted to be the one to be left behind in the era of the future with negatron matter.

This way, he had managed to erode through the inertia when it was stacked against him. He completely tore down the old Shenlong Coalition before it could consolidate and instead made it his own growing faction as the new strongest therianthrope on the continent.

And now, with that consolidated power, he launched an army against the Continent of Acherialis. Based on his political maneuvering and his timing, NOVA realized that she needed to enhance the threat profile she had compiled on Lord Vakratunda.

[He may fall short of top-ten combat power, but that shouldn’t be a reason to underestimate his broader threat level as a leader. As of right now, he is among the top ten most dangerous individuals in the world to me. I will have to take him and his attack on Greater Tekvoria very seriously.]

And she did.

As much as she hated to, she was forced to divert resources and military power assigned to the Kandrian Empire towards dealing with the incoming force from the Continent of Kiriket.

RUMBLE...

The highly technologized and terraformed seaports of the Acherialis Continent began moving as pathwalkers across the entire nation, rapidly gathering on the western seaboard.

By stimulating their brains with electrodes, she managed to essentially guide them into ships and submarines, following protocols with reward and punishment, creating an unmovable path for all of them to follow.

The siege weapons arming the defense line that ran along the perimeter of the continent mobilized with power, preparing to intercept the whallic vessels of the therianthropes as they prepared, soon to dispatch, while tekvores of all classes rapidly mobilized into ships and submarines intended to intercept the soon-to-come wave of whales.

Unlike the therianthropes, however, the tekvores mobilized at an alarming pace, each controlled by NOVA through her brain stimulation system, each moving with machine-like coordination.

NOVA did not dare underestimate the therianthropes just because they no longer had the Dragon Emperor. She even went as far as to deploy one of the most powerful tekvores she had, an asset on par with Argenton.

[Most likely, while Lord Vakratunda will not partake in this conflict yet, he will have deployed some of his more powerful converged beasts like Lord Maruthi and Lord Narsimha. They cannot be defeated by ordinary assets, and you yourself will need to take them on. Thankfully, ascendant tekvores, while much less common than converged beasts, are much stronger than converged beasts, you should be able to fight them head on, Transentia.]

The female tekvore opened her crystalline eyes as her bare crystalline body sparkled with light even in the darkness of the night sky. Within the depths of her transparent chest was a tiny singularity that generated power through black hole radiation while being fed matter at the same rate it radiated energy.

It essentially converted matter into energy, something that Martial Sages could do by virtue of efficiency alone, but what set her apart was the fact that she converted many tons of highly compressed matter into energy, while Martial Artists were limited to much smaller.

”I will exterminate those filthy beasts,” Transentia vowed with a devoted tone.

Unlike Argenton, she had completely accepted NOVA as her ultimate master even in her heart and soul.

[Good. The whallic vessels have just dispatched from the eastern seaboard of the Continent of Kiriket. I will leave the command of the forces to you, while providing pattern recognition and SOUL model tactical support. Do not fail me, Transentia.]

”Yes, My Lady.”

Transentia’s crystal eyes shifted to the sea separating the two continents as her extremely powerful vision spotted the rapidly approaching whales and the tremendous tsunami they brought along with them, despite the darkness of night.

The air tingled with anticipation while the atmosphere grew electric.

War had come.

”Commence the siege.” Transentia’s crystalline eyes sparkled with bloodlust. ”Ensure not a single one of those disgusting organic creatures touches our pristine land.”

”Commencing siege!”

”Fire!”

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!

Countless gigantic barrels pointed at sea unleashed an onslaught of lasers and explosive projectiles, while gigantic missile launchers unleashed a wave of intercontinental ballistic missiles that moved at lightning-fast speeds as they coursed through the air.

The first wave of sieges coursed through the world, crossing thousands and thousands of kilometers in the span of ten seconds, finding their approaching target.

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!

RUMBLE!!!

The first wave of attacks crashed into the tsunami that the whales generated and maintained, using their energy and momentum to serve as a battering ram and shield.

The blubber of the whales was engineered to be able to absorb impacts and reuse the energy within their own systems, allowing them to move faster through the ocean floor as countless defensive projectiles were launched to intercept the projectiles and missiles before they could reach them.

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!

RUMBLE!!!

The world shook as war erupted between Acherialis and Kiriket.
