Chapter 1195: Unyielding Barriers

Once again, the man-eaters lunged at her.

But this time, Amalia neither dodged nor counterattacked.

Those who cared for her safety were filled with dread, wanting to shout warnings, but their voices were too slow.

By the time their cries reached her, it was already too late—the man-eaters moved faster than sound itself.

Yet, instead of an explosion, a black vortex suddenly materialized.

The creatures didn’t hesitate; they charged straight into it—and vanished.

The aliens controlling them broke into a cold sweat, frantically trying to halt the advance.

But the man-eaters were too fast.

By the time the order was relayed, only a dozen remained on the battlefield.

The vortex, as if possessing a will of its own, reappeared and devoured the stragglers.

It repeated this process several times.

Within moments, every last one of the hundreds of man-eaters had been erased.

Inside the battleship, hidden in a dark corner, an alien collapsed to the floor, drenched in sweat.

"Found you," Kenny Lin’s sinister voice whispered into the alien’s ear.

The alien’s eyes widened in terror.

He tried to flee, but before he could react, a hand clamped down on his head.

It was like iron—no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

"Interesting... spiritual sense?" Kenny Lin muttered, sensing something in the alien’s mind—a small, seed-like core pulsing with spiritual energy.

Yet, this creature was not a cultivator.

"So this is the secret behind controlling the man-eaters."

A wicked smile spread across his face.

Without hesitation, he cast Soul Search.

Moments later, he had extracted every memory.

Then, with a flick of his spiritual power, he crushed the alien’s core.

Kenny transmitted a message to Amalia.

"Amalia, don’t be so quick to dismantle the man-eaters. I have a very interesting proposition."

She had just been about to break down the creatures within her small world when his words made her raise an eyebrow.

"You’re not suggesting I keep them, are you?"

"Smart. Their combat abilities are impressive. I just learned how to control them. Some sneaky little rat thought they could keep this secret from us."

"Maybe they weren’t trying to deceive us—just ensuring no one else ever found out."

Amalia could roughly guess what the Prince of Doomsday had been thinking.

"Who cares?" Kenny Lin declared arrogantly.

"Suit yourself."

Amalia knew that the drama king would be interested.

With the Prince of Doomsday losing his final trump card—even the man-eaters had been defeated—there was no way they could turn the tide.

The aliens’ morale plummeted, and signs of retreat appeared among them.

In contrast, humanity’s spirits soared.

They fought side by side, seizing the initiative at last.

The Emperor, piloting his mecha, fought fiercely on the battlefield.

He did not hide behind his subordinates for protection; instead, he coordinated with Sharif and managed to take down several aliens himself.

However, their mechas quickly became little more than scrap metal.

In less than half an hour, the battle had turned from humanity’s desperate struggle to a stunning reversal.

Even the most experienced warriors couldn’t help but wonder if they were dreaming.

With his mecha destroyed, the Emperor had no choice but to step out of the cockpit.

Immediately, his guards surrounded him protectively.

"Your Majesty, the battle is nearly won. You should withdraw to the rear," Sharif advised as he approached.

"No. I want to witness humanity’s victory with my own eyes," the Emperor declared, his gaze shining with an uncontainable brilliance.

Half an hour ago, he had thought the Draconis Empire was finished—that the vast empire built by generations before him would be destroyed in his hands.

Now, in the blink of an eye, it felt as if he had soared straight to the heavens.

If he didn’t see humanity’s triumph for himself, he would think this was all a dream.

Then again, even seeing it, it still felt like a dream.

He looked up at the sky, his pupils reflecting the dazzling colors above.

The sight of alien bodies plummeting from the heavens was unexpectedly beautiful.

With the man-eaters gone, the Prince of Doomsday attempted to flee in battleship.

However, just as it initiated a space jump, it was forcibly interrupted.

Major General Rafiq intended to seize the battleship, but the Prince of Doomsday seemed to realize their intentions.

Upon understanding that escape was impossible, he activated a self-destructive counterattack.

By the time they wiped out the aliens aboard, the battleship was already in ruins.

Over two hours later, only a handful of aliens managed to escape in small spacecraft.

"Rafiq greets Your Majesty."

Major General Rafiq led Officer Khan and the others to formally pay respects to the Emperor.

"Good, good, good! You are all heroes of the empire!" the Emperor’s voice trembled with emotion as he looked around. "Where are the two great heroes?"

Amalia and Kenny Lin had not come.

The two of them were busy assessing the spoils of war.

Amalia had received an immense amount of faith power.

Over three million humans had participated in this battle—not just the armies of Planet Veloxia but also Major General Rafiq’s million-strong forces.

Their devotion had contributed an overwhelming amount of faith power to Amalia.

It should have been enough for her to break through to the next realm.

She could even feel the barrier of the Body Integration Stage growing thin—so thin it was almost nonexistent.

Yet, for some reason, she found herself unable to break through.

It felt as if something was missing.

Meanwhile, Kenny Lin’s Reincarnation Pearl had absorbed the souls of countless fallen beings on the battlefield, especially the aliens.

The number had surpassed a million.

By all logic, the sheer amount of energy gathered should have been more than enough for him to ascend—but he, too, found himself unable to break through.

"It seems there’s something wrong with this universe."

Seeing that Amalia hadn’t broken through either, Kenny Lin immediately suspected that she was experiencing the same problem as he was.

"You encountered the same problem?" Amalia furrowed her brows slightly. "Let me ask Wealth. Maybe he knows the reason."
