Normally, Selena wouldn't fail to see that the entire Impossible City had fallen into Salus's hands.
Moreover, she and the two accompanying guards, who were blocked outside the hall, posed no threat to him at all.
So why did she dare to utter such harsh words in public?
Did she truly possess some unknown trump card?
How could that be?
One must know that before entering Impossible City, the old butler Alfred had strictly inspected everyone's personal belongings.
Everyone's weapons had been confiscated at that time.
So even if Selena really wanted to play a one-for-one extreme exchange with Salus, she could only choose to do so bare-handed.
Setting aside Salus's own combat prowess for a moment.
Just the squad of armed guards in the hall would be enough to riddle Selena with bullets in an instant!
So...
What exactly was this woman planning to use to turn the tables?
Wait a minute, she couldn't be a lunatic, could she?
Salus keenly sensed that something seemed a little off.
But he just couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Only a strong sense of unease inexplicably rose in his heart.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then don't blame me. I did give you a chance."
Although he felt some reluctance, Salus quickly made a decision.
In the choice between women and power, he decisively chose the latter.
Because for someone who yearned for power, nothing was more important than it!
If you can't be used by me, then just go and die!
Immediately, Salus slowly raised his arm and ordered the guards behind him, "Execute her and the two accompanying personnel outside..."
However.
Before he could utter the word "die."
A sudden change occurred.
Rumble—
Roar—
The entire castle suddenly shook violently, as if it had been hit by an earthquake.
At the same time, an earth-shattering beast roar echoed throughout the Pocket Dimension.
"Ah ha, so the ace in My Lord's mouth refers to the handsome young man, does it?"
Upon hearing the familiar beast roar, a look of joy instantly appeared on Selena's pretty face.
It seemed her previous worries were somewhat unnecessary.
Although there was a huge disparity in military strength.
But as long as there was Kong's support, then neither the numbers nor the Heavy Armored Knights in Impossible City were to be feared at all.
"Your Highness... oh no, Ghost King, a giant ape nearly a hundred meters tall suddenly appeared in the castle, and now the building in the northeast direction has largely collapsed..."
At this moment, a Vampire guard ran in, panting, to report, "Also, we found a large number of unknown Invaders on the second floor, numbering about twenty or so. We can confirm they are all humans... They are currently engaged in a firefight with the Royal Guard!"
"What did you say?"
Salus's eyes widened in disbelief.
Impossible City was actually invaded from the outside?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
If this Pocket Dimension was so easy to invade, then Lilith, as a Demon Lord, wouldn't have needed to cooperate with him.
She probably would have just directly killed her way in hundreds of years ago.
So...
The most likely possibility now was that all of this was Selena's doing!
"Damn it, this woman actually came prepared?"
Salus had already gotten the answer from the defiant smile on her face.
Although he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how the other party had managed to bring those humans into Impossible City.
But now was clearly not the time to consider that question.
He had to eliminate those Invaders first.
So Salus raised his hand, pointed at Selena, and ordered the guards, "Keep an eye on her and the two guards outside. Perhaps they might still be useful later."
With that, he led a group of Cult leaders who supported him and rushed towards the floor where the incident occurred.
However, as he passed by Selena, he heard the Moon Goddess say faintly, "Good luck!"
...
In the hall on the second floor.
Frank was leading a special tactical squadron, composed of Vampire Thunder Warriors from Phase II and Werewolf Thunder Warriors from Phase III, in a fierce engagement with hundreds of elite Vampire guards.
Even though the enemy had an absolute advantage in numbers and had secured advantageous positions after the battle began, they were still being slaughtered by the Thunder Warriors team.
This time, before the battle, Karl had specially equipped the Thunder Warriors with a large number of advanced weapons modified from Chitauri technology.
And the two weapons that the Thunder Warriors found most indispensable were:
The high-frequency energy pistols and rifles, which possessed extremely high penetration and could even ignore bulletproof vests!
And the Pulse Blaster Cannon, which, after a certain period of charging, could easily blast through heavy tank armor!
The former was jokingly called "flashlights" by the Thunder Warriors, while the latter was simply and crudely referred to as "big killers"!
As for others, like the simple exoskeleton power units that could provide soldiers with running, jumping, and low-altitude flight capabilities far beyond ordinary people.
And black technologies like the anti-gravity gun, which, after a certain period of charging, could generate a powerful tractor beam within its effective range, thereby locking onto and dragging objects weighing several tons.
These were directly rejected by the Thunder Warriors with reasons full of provocative meaning, such as "not fitting our fighting style, better leave them for the unremarkable guys in Phase I and Phase IV to use for self-defense."
Karl was not angry about this; he just smiled without speaking.
As long as these Thunder Warriors didn't engage in internal strife, he couldn't be bothered to manage appropriate provocations.
Bang bang bang—
At a corner on the second floor, a combat team consisting of two Werewolf Thunder Warriors and one Vampire Thunder Warrior used high-frequency energy pistols to suppress the Vampire guards hiding behind the corner wall about ten meters ahead, while rapidly advancing with agile movements.
Although the bullets used by these members of the Royal Guard were all specially modified high-explosive and armor-piercing rounds.
Their power was still significantly inferior to the "flashlights"!
So, during the firefight, they were so suppressed that they dared not show their heads.
Often, only when the Thunder Warriors paused their firing due to their gun bodies overheating would they dare to pop out and fire a few shots into the empty space opposite to vent their frustration!
And this time, this three-person combat team had successfully rushed to the corner where the enemy was hiding in just a few breaths.
As a Vampire guard, crouching low, poked his head out and raised his gun over his head, preparing for a round of "faith shooting," he was directly smashed to pieces by a punch from the Werewolf Thunder Warrior at the very front.
For the "Wolf Soldiers" of Phase III.
They often preferred to engage in close-quarters combat using the most primitive and brutal methods after successfully closing in on the enemy!
This not only further stimulated the Werewolf Extraordinary Factors in their blood, thereby releasing even more powerful strength.
It also allowed them to inflict the maximum psychological intimidation and deterrence on the enemy through this method!
Puff puff puff—
Just as the attention of the other Vampire guards behind the corner wall was all drawn to the two Werewolf Thunder Warriors, and they were all turning their guns to prepare to fire.
The Vampire Thunder Warrior, who had already silently climbed onto the ceiling above them, suddenly pounced down, using his dagger-sharp claws to cut off all their heads!
And scenes like these were continuously unfolding in different areas on the second floor of the castle.
Although this so-called Royal Guard was once hailed as the strongest fighting force in Impossible City, second only to the First Royal Guard Legion, the Heavy Armored Knights.
But in front of the Thunder Warriors, they were simply no match!
So much so that Frank didn't even have a chance to make a move; the Vampire guards blocking them were already largely dead or wounded.
A small remaining portion was still stubbornly resisting, but it was completely useless.
"Report, Officer, the north corridor and the guest rooms on both sides have been cleared!"
"Report, Officer, the west hall has been cleared!"
As voices sounded one after another from the communicator, Frank pressed his wrist-worn stopwatch several times, marking down the times one by one.
"Not bad. Except for the battle at the main staircase in the south, the enemies in other areas were all cleared within the stipulated 5 minutes."
Frank nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the female researcher beside him, who had a fair, doll-like face, wore a white lab coat, and was currently staring at an instrument, continuously recording the changes in various physical indicators of the Thunder Warriors during combat.
"Dr. Chambers, have you completed your recording?"
"If so, then I will lead my men to continue advancing to the next floor!"
If it weren't to cooperate with the scientific researchers' experimental studies, Frank would never have allowed the tactical squadron to disperse and clear enemies in different areas on the second floor.
Instead, he would have carried out a "decapitation strike" immediately, capturing the leader first, heading directly to the Lord's Hall on the third floor, and eliminating Salus, who had successfully seized power.
However, he also knew deeply that his boss placed great importance on the stability of the Thunder Warriors.
Therefore, these precious data collected during actual combat could be said to be crucial for whether the scale of the Thunder Warriors Legion would be expanded in the future!
Frank naturally dared not take it lightly.
So he personally led two Thunder Warriors to guard the safety of this female researcher.
And this female researcher who came with them this time was Rebecca Chambers!
In order to obtain the most precise data on the Thunder Warriors in actual combat, Rebecca Chambers volunteered to accompany the army before the battle.
As a former member of the S.T.A.R.S. Special Tactics and Rescue Team, indeed no one was more suitable to complete this arduous task than her.
What else could Samuel Sterns do?
Of course, he agreed... with great enthusiasm!
It's just that Rebecca Chambers never expected that her cognition and worldview would be repeatedly overturned with the start of this operation!
Soon, for the first time in her life, she saw a large magic teleportation array, which was not even common in blockbuster movies...
And for the first time in her life, she stepped into a special dimensional space outside the real World...
However.
Before she could recover from these bizarre events that broke her cognition and even subverted humanity's existing scientific system, she was deeply shocked by the bloody battle that followed.
It's no exaggeration to say.
The battle between the Thunder Warriors and the Royal Guard had already exceeded the scope of human beings.
Although the Royal Guard, which had a numerical advantage, had been unilaterally crushed by the Thunder Warriors since the beginning of the battle.
But even if the elites of the S.T.A.R.S. Special Tactics and Rescue Team were to engage the Royal Guard, the outcome would surely be nine deaths and no life!
From this, one could indirectly see how powerful the Thunder Warriors were.
And then, through the various data collected during the battle, Rebecca Chambers became even more convinced of this view.
"Officer Frank, my data collection task is basically complete."
Rebecca Chambers then put the instrument into a specially made bulletproof briefcase, then pulled out an exquisite pistol from her waist, and said with an extremely firm tone:
"Please rest assured, I was once a soldier, so I will definitely not hold you back in battle!"
Frank looked at the woman in front of him, whose height was still below his shoulder, with some surprise, and nodded slightly in appreciation, "Very good, soldier, just try your best to keep up with us from now on!"
Although he said so, Frank still subtly glanced at the two Thunder Warriors responsible for guarding the rear, signaling them to protect Rebecca Chambers.
After all, his boss valued these scientific researchers quite a lot!
The two Thunder Warriors immediately understood and nodded, closely guarding her behind her.
Thus, under Frank's command, the battle at the main staircase in the south also quickly drew to a close.
Just as the tactical squadron was preparing to go up the stairs to the third floor, they saw Salus leading a large group of people rushing down the stairs in a hurry.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you in Impossible City?"
Salus looked at the piles of corpses and severed limbs from the Royal Guard near the stairs, filled with both shock and anger!
He absolutely refused to believe that mere humans could be stronger than the most elite Royal Guard!
But the most important thing now was to first figure out how these people got into Impossible City, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.
That's why he didn't order to open fire immediately.
Frank, upon hearing this, while using hand gestures to order the Thunder Warriors behind him to find cover and strategically deploy for a counterattack based on the enemy's current positions, responded calmly:
"Who we are isn't important. What's important is... from today onwards, Impossible City and this Pocket Dimension all belong to the Hyperspace Group!"
"Hyperspace Group?"
Salus was slightly startled. The name sounded somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't recall where he had heard it.
However, Frank's recent answer undoubtedly hit him where it hurt, so he roared hysterically:
"No one can take Impossible City from me... Open fire, kill all these bastard humans!"
The guards standing beside Salus and the Cult leaders who supported him all turned their guns and unleashed a furious barrage of gunfire towards Frank and the others.
Frank, who had already been prepared, and the members of the Thunder Warriors squadron quickly ducked behind different covers and returned fire.
Bang bang bang—
