Furious battle intent surged like a tide.

A middle-aged man clad in heavy armor and carrying a giant axe stepped through the air.

Berserker Frank, the strongest warrior of the Rage Starfield!

Despite standing alone, no one dared to underestimate him. This was because, in ancient times, Rage Starfield had once birthed a Fury God, whose battle prowess shook countless star domains.

Though countless years had passed since then, the legend of that Fury God still echoed through many star domains.

Aoweir excitedly asked, "Frank, have you... achieved Supreme Sanctuary rank?"

All eyes turned to him.

Frank flashed a meaningful smile and slowly replied, "Of course…"

He deliberately dragged out his words, "Not yet!"

"Pff—then what are you pretending for!" Ignis couldn't help but scold. "You haven't even reached a higher rank, what are you showing off for?"

Frank cleared his throat and replied seriously, "Though I haven't reached Supreme Sanctuary rank, I am not far off. I'm more than enough to deal with them."

He pointed his giant axe toward the imperial army, exuding confidence.

The Sigcon side all shook their heads.

The Zisen Empire… was not so easy to handle!

Steadfast's cold voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Are you done with your nonsense?" He raised his arm suddenly, commanding loudly, "Formation—assemble!"

The imperial army's momentum changed instantly, forming into a united spear of destruction aimed straight at the Sigcon border!

Boom—!

The explosion reverberated throughout the star domain.

An invisible, ancient barrier rose from the boundary, barely blocking the first wave of the empire's charge.

"The Empire's eagle, tear it apart!" Steadfast seemed to have anticipated this and roared again.

Aoweir and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"Quick! Stop them!"

This natural barrier would not hold long against the imperial forces, especially with Steadfast and the other imperial generals yet to strike.

The Sigcon coalition no longer hesitated. Aoweir, Ignis, and others joined the fray.

The battle was about to erupt!

Countless spells, sacred techniques, and mysteries poured down like a torrential rain, slowing the imperial army's advance.

Steadfast snorted, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Brothers, fight for the eternal glory of the Empire!"

"Fight!"

Several terrifying presences surged into the air within the army.

Among them, Steadfast was the most powerful, his peak Sanctuary Lord rank strength nearly invincible!

Seeing Steadfast's unstoppable march, Aoweir and the others looked grim.

At that moment, Frank stepped forward, his giant axe blocking Steadfast's path.

"Steadfast! You imperial lapdog, your opponent is me!"

He cleaved through the Imperial soldiers in his way, his battle intent boiling over.

"Let me see if the so-called Empire God of War is truly as terrifying as the legends say!"

It was rumored that the Zisen Empire had twelve Gods of War, each with Sanctuary Lord rank strength, all mighty beings found among billions.

However, Steadfast wasn't even ranked in the top five.

Because of this, Frank was confident.

Just a lower-ranked God of War? How could he, the future Fury God, lose?

"Come on, face me in battle!"

"I'll show you the power of a Fury God!"

His giant axe pointed straight at Steadfast.

Steadfast merely sneered.

"As you wish."

Before he finished speaking, Steadfast transformed into a streak of light, charging toward Frank.

From afar, Aoweir and Ignis looked at Frank, who was standing alone against Steadfast, and both their hearts sank.

Although their alliance was built on mutual interests, if Frank died, the Zisen Empire would be the sole victor, and the coalition would suffer irreparable losses.

"Someone must help him."

Aoweir's voice was low.

Ignis was about to act when the black-robed elder from the Land of Rest slowly spoke.

"Though he likes to talk big, his strength is not weak. Let's wait and see."

The others were skeptical but halted their movements.

The battle raged on, but their eyes were fixed on this crucial duel.

Frank and Steadfast's fight continued, with each clash of weapons sending blinding sparks flying.

As the battle wore on, Frank became increasingly shocked.

The strength of this Empire God of War far exceeded his expectations. Even though he was ranked low among the Zisen Gods of War, he was still able to match Frank blow for blow!

...

In the void above the battlefield, Fiona silently watched all of this.

She had a mission and couldn't reveal the true form of her Astral Ancient Dragon. Otherwise, she would have joined the battle by now.

"That Steadfast guy," she murmured to herself, "hides his power well."

Her gaze was fixed on Steadfast, who was engaged in battle with Frank.

She felt a sense of doubt. Since he had absolute power, why was he stalling for time?

The battle continued.

Although the coalition's strong forces fought valiantly, the Zisen Empire's army continued to advance step by step.

Aoweir felt a flicker of hope.

If things continued like this, the Zisen Empire might retreat due to the high cost of battle.

Just then, a piercing scream tore through the battlefield!

"No—! This can't be!"

Aoweir and the others trembled, quickly turning their heads.

They saw Frank, covered in blood, sent flying by a powerful force. Clearly, he had been severely injured.

"My gods!"

No one could believe their eyes.

Wasn't it even?

At first, they hadn't believed Frank could withstand the Empire's God of War, but the intense battle and his confident declaration had made them start to believe.

After all, he was the most likely to inherit the title of Fury God in Rage Starfield.

But now, it seemed they were wrong.

Frank didn't have the strength to compete with a God of War. Steadfast had been hiding his power all along!

"How despicable!"

Before they could voice their outrage, Steadfast had already transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the heavily injured Frank to deliver the final blow.

Frank's face turned pale as he screamed, "Help me!!"

Aoweir and Ignis no longer hesitated and rushed toward Steadfast with all their might.

Boom!

Steadfast fought against three opponents, his divine power erupting without losing an inch!

It was only at this moment that everyone truly realized the terrifying power of the Zisen Empire's Gods of War.

This was a monster!

In the distance, Frank staggered backward, hastily swallowing a healing potion.

Feeling his injuries ease slightly, his wildly beating heart began to calm down.

In that moment, he truly sensed death, and his once-proud battle spirit almost shattered.

He struggled to suppress the chaotic battle intent within him.

A voice suddenly rang out nearby.

"Lord Frank!"

He opened his eyes wide, seeing a Sigcon Council member, a trusted aide of Aoweir, approaching quickly.

"Is the frontline unable to hold?" Frank asked hoarsely.

The aide quickly waved his hand, his face filled with concern.

"The chairman sent me to deliver a Holy Light Healing potion. They are doing their best to hold back the Imperial army."

Frank nodded, his eyes falling on the bottle of the glowing, life-infused potion in the aide's hand.

This was truly a high-quality item!

Without hesitation, he took the potion and drank it in one gulp.

The potion instantly turned into a warm current, nourishing his body.

However, this comfort didn't last long, and Frank suddenly sensed something was wrong!

"Something's not right!"

The potion was poisoned!

His face changed drastically as he tried to get up.

Pffft!

A dagger wrapped in shadow pierced his heart.

The violent shadow energy instantly tore away his life force.

As he felt his life slipping away, Frank's face twisted with unwillingness and fear.

As the strongest in Rage Starfield, the future Fury God, he was going to die from such a vile conspiracy?!

"I... I won't accept this..." he whispered in despair, his consciousness fading into darkness.

The aide beside him sneered.

"Accept your fate. Opposing the Zisen Holy Empire is a dead end."

"Your fate was sealed long ago."

Frank collapsed heavily to the ground.

In a sense, Rage Starfield was now finished.
