2025-11-14 08:00:36Kael Ardyn’s eyes swept over the battlefield. A chaotic mass of writhing bodies, broken terrain, and dust clouds stretching as far as he could see. Impatience coiled in his chest like a living thing. This wasn’t a warzone—it was a giant meat grinder. Every step forward screamed death, yet he felt an irresistible pull, a need to dive straight into the heart of the chaos.
“Charge in?” His voice was low, almost a growl, as he turned to the Stitching Granny, the wizened entity controlling the Aether Combat Division’s Cretaceous Demon Sky. “What are the odds we actually take down the Voidspawn Queen?”
A sharp, piercing voice echoed in his mind. “This Cretaceous Demon Sky has six legs, and I control six tentacles. I can wield about eighty percent of its power. Since it doesn’t fear damage, add another twenty. In a head-to-head fight with the Voidspawn Queen, it’s roughly fifty-fifty. Strike at the right moment

Chapter 83: The Aether Combat Division Game Restarts
Kael Ardyn gripped the bottle of Spiritwine, knuckles white, his mind tangled in the Ripper Woman’s words.“Going outside Glory Base to fight the Voidspawn Swarm for months, avoiding the commander’s wrath… not a terrible idea,” he muttered to himself. Still, that unfinished ten-win streak in the Aether Combat Division nagged at him. Over twenty days left, and he had won just once. If he left now, the massive game pod wouldn’t follow. No deployment meant no streak.And failure carried the sharpest edge—the Warlord System’s punishment was unforgiving.Even running to another Celestial Dominion base on the Dark Moon Planet offered no true safety. The commander’s anger would follow him, and whether he could even use the game pod then was anyone’s guess.A voice echoed in his mind—cold, sharp, impossible to ignore.“Reminder to the host: defeating a minor commander and fleeing undermines your prestige. A true Warlord does not run.”“Damn you!” Kael Ardyn growled, cutting the thought off. H
Chapter 82: Finish Beating Her, Then Get Ready to Run
The ten soldiers in the corner stirred slowly, each movement careful, almost hesitant. None dared open their eyes fully. They stayed down, pretending, because it was safer that way. Safer than risking a glance from the Commander. Safer than revealing they were awake.Across the room, the young warrior swung his wooden staff with terrifying precision. The Commander, once proud and untouchable, was restrained and helpless. Strike after strike landed, yet he spoke softly, almost casually, as if nothing violent were happening.These soldiers had seen his power before. Tossing a few bottles of spiritwine had shattered energy guns like they were toys. They knew better than to interfere. Even together, they were nothing. Pretending to be unconscious was the only smart move.Big Bear flinched at every hit, finally turning his eyes away. The screams that filled the room were punctuated by the rhythm of the staff, echoing over and over. It was relentless and terrifying."Commander!" he said aga
Chapter 81: Beating the Commander
The command room of Glory Base was oppressively quiet. Shadows clung to the corners, thicker than usual, and the faint hum of the control panels did little to ease the tension. Kael Ardyn stood near the center, perfectly still, eyes scanning the room with sharp precision. The Butcher Girl hovered nearby, uncertain. Should she step in? Or stay silent? Every instinct in her body screamed caution, yet Kael’s calm confidence made hesitation almost impossible.“Captain, bring a basin of cold water,” Kael said softly, but there was no mistaking the command behind his words. “I want a proper conversation with the commander once she’s awake. She needs to understand… really understand her mistakes.”The Butcher Girl paused, studying him. Calm. Too calm. Almost unnervingly so. Only hours ago, chaos had reigned in this very room. And now, here he was, steady as a stone. She could feel the weight of his intent. With a reluctant sigh, she obeyed, returning quickly with a basin full to the brim.In
Chapter 80: Do People Have Principles?
Da Xiong felt like his mind was on fire. The Butcher Girl, after a night of being restrained and beaten, was about to apologize to Vice-Captain Kael Ardyn. Just thinking about it made his worldview wobble. How could someone so fierce admit fault? Yet there she was, calm, composed, even a little nervous.He hesitated, unsure if he should follow the captain’s orders to fetch Kael. The Butcher Girl noticed and gave a slight, knowing smile.“Forget it. Don’t go looking for him alone,” she said softly. “I hit Kael hard enough that he needs time to recover. You and I will head to the outskirts of Moonspire Academy. Let’s hunt a few lone Voidspawn. We’ll be back early, and I’ll apologize properly at the table. You can even talk to him—make sure he leaves without any psychological scars.”Da Xiong blinked. “He won’t have any psychological scars, don’t worry, Big Sis!” he said, but inwardly he shivered at what had really happened the night before. If she knew the truth, she might be the one sc
Chapter 79: You Shouldn’t Have Come
The main command room of Glory Base felt unusually tense. Elara Myrin, the Skyward Empire’s Darkmoon Star Operations Commander, sat behind the holographic console, a detailed report floating in front of her like a window into last night’s chaos. She scanned each line carefully, her eyes sharp, calculating. The Black Bat Squad… that mess they’d gotten themselves into.Kael Ardyn. She let herself smile a little. He’d actually restrained the Berserk Butcher Girl. Fought her. Held his ground. Bold. Reckless. And, she had to admit, impressive.Her fingers drummed lightly on the console. No wonder he had chased Wan’er and even forced that kiss. The boy’s combat skills clearly exceeded all records. Still, he’d probably needed some trick to keep the Butcher Girl in check.Leaning back, she let a slow smile spread across her face. “I have to see this myself. Tonight, when she wakes from her berserk state… he’s going to face her again. This is going to be entertaining.”She called her guards wi
Chapter 78: Do People Have Principles?
Big Bear thought about how the Butcher Girl had been tied up and beaten all night, and now, waking up, she was supposed to go apologise to Vice-Captain Kael Ardyn!At this moment, Big Bear’s worldview had completely collapsed. He didn’t know whether he should follow the captain’s orders and go fetch Kael Ardyn.The Butcher Girl noticed the hesitation on Big Bear’s face.“Forget it. Don’t go find him alone. I hit Kael Ardyn so badly that he needs some time to cool down. You and I will go to the outskirts of Moonspire Academy and hunt a few lone Voidspawn.We’ll come back early today. You can get extra dishes at the cafeteria, and I’ll apologise to Kael Ardyn at the table. While I do that, you help me have a proper chat with him—don’t let him get any psychological trauma!” After thinking for a moment, the Butcher Girl said to Big Bear.“He won’t have any trauma, don’t worry, Big Sis!” Big Bear said out loud, though in his mind he thought that if Big Sis knew what really happened last ni
