The laboratory suddenly felt much colder.
The air around No Name trembled faintly, not out of anger, but because his absolute instinct had detected an anomaly from beyond Earth's atmosphere.
The Nameless Devil tapped his finger against the table.
"They never learn from the past," No Name muttered, his ice-cold eyes staring straight ahead as if piercing through the laboratory's steel walls.
"The Axiom… years ago, only two of them came here. Now, I can feel a massive energy distortion in orbit. They're gathering a far larger fleet."
The four Pawns standing before him immediately smiled.
"Oh? New toys?" Scyte spun his scythe excitedly, his eyes gleaming like a child just promised a gift.
"Let me guess, No Name… you want us to greet them first?" Tora cracked his knuckles, the sharp sounds echoing loudly.
No Name raised his hand. The space to the right side of the room instantly tore apart, forming a pitch-black dimensional portal connected directly to the interior of The Axiom's massive satellite station.
"Destroy their main base before their main fleet finishes assembling," No Name ordered flatly. "And one more thing… steal all the data from their primary server. Whether it's important or not, bring everything to me."
"Understood, Boss," Rare replied, bowing politely with a gentle smile.
Tora grinned widely, hoisting his axe over his shoulder as he stepped in first. "Let's move, team. Time for some cleaning."
Outside Earth's atmosphere, inside the Main Hangar of The Axiom's satellite station
Hundreds of elite cyborg soldiers and giant combat robots stood in perfect formation, preparing for a massive invasion of Earth.
The atmosphere was disciplined and silent, filled only with the hum of energy reactors from their machines.
Suddenly, in the middle of the vast hangar, a black crack appeared in the air.
Before any security alarm could sound, a massive axe shot out of the portal at bullet speed, smashing into the chest of a ten-meter-tall combat robot and shattering it to pieces!
BOOOOOOMMM!
The massive explosion instantly threw everything into chaos.
"Intruders! Intruders in the Main Hangar!" a cyborg commander shouted in panic.
From within the smoke, Tora stepped out casually, pulling back his axe, which was connected to a thin energy chain.
Scyte burst out of the portal like a flash of light.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in the middle of the elite formation.
His scythe spun wildly, creating a storm of slashes that cut through steel armor and advanced weapons as if slicing through butter.
Oil and sparks sprayed everywhere.
"Arrow! Handle the data!" Tora shouted while leaping to avoid plasma cannon fire, then decapitating three cyborgs in a single swing.
Arrow stepped out of the portal, his eyes scanning the entire hangar structure within seconds.
He located the towering main server at the far end of the room.
Swiftly, he drew his bow and nocked a special arrow, its tip modified with an infinite-capacity data extraction drive created by No Name.
ZRAASH!
The arrow shot forward, piercing through the triple-layered protective glass and embedding itself directly into the mainframe core.
All screens across the satellite instantly flickered red the data extraction had begun on a massive scale.
"Download started. Five minutes until completion!" Arrow called out, turning around to fire dozens of energy arrows that exploded among reinforcement troops pouring in from the northern gate.
Meanwhile, Rare stepped out last.
He saw thousands of soldiers and dozens of combat mechs surrounding them from all directions.
The hangar ceiling opened, revealing the darkness of space, where the station's laser weapon systems began locking onto the four of them.
Rare simply smiled sweetly. He planted his Excalibur into the metal floor.
"Sorry, but if you're too noisy, Arrow won't be able to focus on downloading the data," Rare said softly.
His eyes began to glow brightly. The gravitational field across the entire satellite station suddenly went haywire!
This time, he didn't summon meteors he altered the gravity point within the room itself.
Dozens of giant combat robots suddenly floated uncontrollably into the air, crashing into each other and exploding.
Cyborg soldiers screamed in confusion as their bodies were hurled into walls, ceilings, and into each other at terrifying speeds.
"HAHAHA! Hold back a little, Rare! I'm not done smashing things yet!" Tora roared from the middle of the chaos.
The giant man leapt toward a floating mech, then drove his bare fist straight into its head, sending it crashing through the satellite floor.
In the Main Command Room on the upper level, Vega stared at the monitors with a pale face, his mechanical body trembling violently.
Only three minutes had passed since the alarm sounded, and half of the frontline forces he had prepared for years… had already been reduced to scrap metal.
The station's data was being drained at an insane rate, and the satellite itself was slowly collapsing from within due to the gravitational distortion.
"Monsters… those kids are no longer human…" Vega muttered, realizing that provoking No Name once again was the most fatal mistake The Axiom had ever made.
