Inside the Order Beacon's main base, Bohaus was live-streaming, looking utterly confident of victory.
He was currently atop the newly built, two-hundred-meter-high tower at the main base. From the very top, the view was incredibly expansive.
He sat on a high platform at the tower's summit, aiming his live stream at the sky. In the footage, a translucent, film-like layer could be faintly seen, shimmering with rainbow colors under the sunlight.
This was precisely the Perfect-Level Defensive Barrier that Bohaus had activated, and it was also the source of his confidence that he could ignore Rockets attacks.
With the Perfect-Level Barrier, he was confident that the Order Beacon's main base, within a hundred-kilometer radius, would not be breached by any enemy!
Not even the Great Lord Bei Ming, whom other Survivors had praised to the heavens, was an exception!
"Hmph, Bei Ming, is it? This leader will now show you what true impregnability means!"
"With the Perfect-Level Barrier bestowed by my Lord, a mere few Rockets are simply not worth mentioning!"
Bohaus wore a mocking smile as he gazed at the distant sky.
At the edge of his vision, he could already faintly discern some flickering firelights approaching.
"Heh, have they finally arrived?"
"The show is about to begin! After this battle, the name 'Order Beacon' will resound throughout the entire Survival World!"
"By then... my Lord's glory will envelop the entire world!"
"And I... as the Lord's spokesperson, will also obtain unimaginable wealth and power!"
"Indeed... that Bei Ming is merely a slightly stronger ant compared to me."
"Only I! Bohaus! Am the true king of this Survival World! The sole overlord!"
"Hahahahaha—!!!"
Bohaus's eyes were fanatic, and a vision of himself ruling the world flashed through his mind.
At this moment, his confidence was soaring!
He quickly adjusted the live stream, pointing the camera at the approaching firelights on the horizon, then placed the camera behind him, allowing his profound and mysterious silhouette to appear in the live stream.
He looked up at the sky, striking a pose of a lonely master.
"Invincibility... truly is lonely."
"Everyone, you are about to witness the complete process of a new dynasty being established!"
"And I, Bohaus, leader of the Order Beacon, will seize this opportunity to act on behalf of my Lord, to execute Heaven's will, eliminate all heretics! And spread the renown of our Order!"
"My Lord above, please witness this, for what comes next... is the first gift offered to You by Your most loyal servant!"
Bohaus spread his arms to the sky, as if embracing it.
He closed his eyes tightly, feeling the gentle breeze caress his cheeks, a faint smile playing on his lips.
This war, devoid of suspense, was destined to have its final chapter written by his victory.
As for Bei Ming, the supporting character, his death was already predetermined.
"You pathetic insect, once the Defensive Barrier intercepts your Rockets, I will immediately dispatch an Excellent Grade Warship to personally send you on your way!"
"Heh, after all... you are a sacrifice personally designated by my Lord!"
"I hope you can struggle a little longer then, otherwise... I will be disappointed."
Bohaus opened his eyes, a playful smile on his face as he watched the firelights in the sky grow increasingly dazzling.
Meanwhile, in the public chat channel, many Survivors held their breath, intently watching everything unfolding in the live stream.
"The Rockets are about to breach the Order Beacon's Defensive Barrier! Do you think... Great Lord Bei Ming can succeed this time?"
"Alas, I think it's unlikely! Haven't you seen it? That's a Perfect-Level Defensive Barrier! With our current development speed as Survivors, how could we possibly have missiles capable of breaking through a Perfect-Level Barrier?"
"So, are we just going to watch the Order Beacon people act arrogantly? Damn it! These people are completely crazy! They're using the guise of establishing order, but all they do is suppress and exploit other Survivors!"
"There's nothing we can do, our strength isn't even as good as Great Lord Bei Ming's! And didn't that Order Beacon leader say before? They have a 'Lord' helping them from behind, and those warships and the current Defensive Barrier were all created by that entity!"
"Damn it! I'm unwilling! If the Order Beacon truly holds out this time, what awaits everyone will be a life of utter darkness!"
"Indeed! Life in Island Survival is already hard enough! If we're further oppressed and exploited by those people... I, I might as well just die!"
In the chat channel, most people were worried about their future.
However, there were also many members of the Order Beacon and their supporters cheering and constantly mocking other Survivors.
"Hahahaha! You trash deserve this!"
"That's right! Haven't you been barking about how amazing that heretic named Bei Ming is? Now, all of you better open your eyes and see! Your so-called savior... is nothing but a pathetic joke in the face of my Lord's power!"
"Oh-ho! I've just applied and received permission to deploy with the escort warships! When the time comes, I'll also live stream it, so you pieces of trash can personally witness how our Order Beacon fleet takes down your so-called 'Great Lord'!"
"Exactly! If you're smart, hurry up and pay your protection fees to our Order Beacon! Otherwise... just wait to be liquidated one by one! Hahahaha!"
The public chat channel had descended into chaos.
But without exception, almost all Survivors' eyes were fixed on Bohaus's live stream, awaiting the final outcome.
In the footage, Bohaus took out a bottle of champagne from his storage item, shook it twice, and aimed the bottle's mouth at the sky.
At the edge of his vision, a streak of fire rapidly crossed the sky, already colliding with the rainbow-colored Defensive Barrier!
Boom—!!!
In the sky, a flash of fire erupted, followed by a massive shockwave that rapidly spread outwards from the explosion's epicenter!
Crack!
A loud crack echoed in the sky.
In the live stream, the powerful Barrier, touted as having Perfect defense, lasted less than three seconds before shattering into countless colorful fragments, dissipating in the aftermath of the explosion.
Bang!
At that moment, the champagne sprayed out, forming a graceful arc as it fell from the high tower.
However, Bohaus's smile had long since frozen; his face was deathly pale, clearly transmitted through the live stream to every Survivor watching.
"This... this is impossible! How can this be? This is the Perfect Defensive Barrier bestowed by my Lord! A mere few Rockets... it's impossible for them to break through its defense!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"I must be hallucinating!"
"It's all fake!"
"It's all fake!!!"
Bohaus screamed hysterically, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, like a beast ready to devour someone.
However, his response was a giant mushroom cloud rapidly rising in the distance.
And... the Stronghold Island, shattered into countless fragments.
The live stream room fell into a dead silence.
The previously noisy comments completely vanished at this moment.
Whether they were members of the Order Beacon or supporters of Bei Ming, they were all shocked into a daze, their brains crashing, by the scene displayed in the live stream.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought.
"What... what just happened?"
