The Martial Unity

Chapter 4108: New Destination

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!

Kane gritted his teeth as he rushed through the onslaught of attacks mounted by the countless golems across the surface of the planet. His green eyes flared with a profound intensity as he turned into a blinding blur, shooting through the battlefield at high speeds.

Even running had become a challenge.

The very ground beneath their feet had been turned into a golem. They emerged from the loose soil within the ground as the hard bedrock within them had been molded into a humanoid shape, making it rather untenable for the future monsters in the world to grow more and more interesting.

They were vaguely humanoid in their anatomy, even though the hard edges of the rock and the colorful, studded esoteric ores across their bodies took away from that. Time slowed down in his eyes as he could even faintly detect a sense of consciousness and intelligence in them. .

Were they the same as the golems of the Beast Domain?

He didn’t know.

He didn’t care.

He simply had one priority.

He needed to survive.

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook violently as it sentient, humanoid rock formations erupted from deep within the depths of the ground. His focus shifted from heating the planet to surviving at all costs. He whipped his hand-crafted dwarven daggers out, turning them into arcs of destruction as he sliced away at anything that entered his strike range.

RUMBLE!!!!!

A wave of golems jumped at him, erupting from the ground.

And yet, in the face of his destructive attacks, they didn’t so much as even stand a chance. The issue, of course, wasn’t the individual prowess of the golems. They weren’t very strong, compared to Martial Sages.

However, there were many more of them than there were pathwalkers.

Martial Sages and Martial Masters had partaken in the battle, and the same was true for the equivalents of those two Realms among other pathwalkers, but even with the sheer numbers they had, there were millions of times as many golems emerging from the soil in the ground, erupting towards them in a hail of attacks.

A wave of golems leaped towards Kane, threatening to drown him under a mountain of rock.

His green eyes sharpened as his grip over his dagger tightened. His arms blurred as his dagger disappeared, flying around at blinding speed.

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!!

He unleashed an onslaught of sharp attacks, cleaving golems into rock fragments, threatening to overwhelm them before they could overwhelm him. Materia prima coursed through his veins as he became a fiend of destruction, slicing through everything that came in his path.

Indeed, when there was no way out, the only way to evade was to destroy what stood in his path.

”Destruction is evasion.”

His green eyes flared with a fierce light as the enlightenment dawned on him, bringing him one step closer towards phenomenological uniformity.

Whether he liked it or not.

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!!!

It helped him survive the onslaught that had already claimed the lives of pathwalkers and Martial Artists.

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook as the surface began to fully crumble apart into a tide of golems. The planet no longer resembled a planet; it instead resembled a vaguely spherical army of golems from outer space, causing tremendous panic to settle upon the commanders of the operation and the supreme general himself.

”Sir! The surface of Garg has fragmented into golems!”

”The heating dissipation has increased tenfold as the amount of surface area for heat to radiate away has increased manyfold!”

”The gravitational fluctuations are increasing!”

Rasmarck’s expression lost all of its laxness as he grew profoundly serious. ”Increase the intensity of the laser beams! The pathwalkers are strong enough to withstand greater heat, but the rocks should start melting more quickly. We don’t need to save for stamina at this point if the planet’s exterior has already been weaponized in battle.”

Now that the surface of the planet had been fragmented, Rasmarck knew that it was only a matter of time before the planet would be captured. The dwarves were mobilizing the Darthourne planetary engine even as they witnessed the battle.

The golems were an anomaly, but they didn’t disrupt the outcome.

Or so he thought.

”Sir, we are detecting an intensification of gravity!”

”What?” His eyes widened as he focused on the gravitational sensor data.

Indeed, it had begun spiking.

”What...” Rasmarck’s tone of voice was one of uncertainty. ”What is it trying to do?”

RUMBLE!!!!!

The planet shook violently as the very fabric of space and time quaked, bending under the power of Garg, as they grew more and more terrified of what was coming.

Then, it happened.

WHOOSH

The inner depths of the planet simply disappeared.

The thermal sensors simply showed that the heat signature that came from the mantle and the core was gone. While the gravitational sensors showed that a large chunk of the mass of the planet had disappeared.

Just like that.

Rasmarck’s eyes widened with shock as he beheld an unfathomable event. ”It’s... It’s gone?”

Just like that, it was gone.

And the consequences were immediate. One moment, there was a solid foundation beneath the army of golems that the surface and crust had transformed into. The very next moment, the entirety of the mantle and the core of the planet.

”Th-The heart of the planet is gone, sir! The geometry of space-time is consistent with that of a wormhole! We believe that the planet had ’shed’ its surface and tore a hole through reality to teleport through!”

Rasmarck’s eyes widened with shock. ”You’re telling me the planet can teleport?!”

It was a shocking discovery that none of the intelligence prior had managed to scry. It had completely caught all of them off guard. This, along with the golems alone were enough to make it so that he would have chosen a different strategy.

”Where did it go?!” Rasmarck clenched his fists. ”Scour the cosmos! See if you can detect anything that would point to—”

”Sir!” An analyst cried out with a shocked tone of voice. ”We found it!”

BZZZT!

A live feed was transmitted to the supreme general.

His eyes widened with shock as the feed displayed a smoldering molten planet with its crust completely shed.

What shook him, however, was not the visage of the planet.

But rather, its location.

[Sol.]

Garg had teleported to their solar system.

To their home.

The planet moved towards Gaia at a shockingly high speed.
