My Space-Time System

With the appearance of the king rank killer earthworms and the tunnels they had made, it was clear that underground wasn't safe. So 2 teams of special ops demigods were teleported not too far from the tier 2 king rank armored hippos.

One of the 5 demigods in each team was enough to take care of a king-rank armored hippo, while the others were meant to deal with the beasts and other king rank beasts around them.

The only reason they had a chance of killing the armored hippos was that most of the beast army were already attacking the wall, and for them to turn back would give the humans a breathing space and leave the beasts open.

To ensure that their mission was successful, some of the mana cannons were to support them in their attacks, and although it would make things harder for those within the city barrier it was very necessary.

If the armored hippos as well as other ranged beasts weren't eliminated, it was just a matter of time before the entire city barrier at the southern gate was destroyed.

…

With the mortars behind the wall being activated, explosions rang out as the area in front of the city barrier was turned into deep craters killing thousands of beasts at once.

They were twice as powerful as the mana cannons, but they needed quite some time to cool off and they had only one form of attack that was useless against aerial beasts.

The intervals needed to cool off were a serious downside because once the beasts timed the attacks and got through the city barrier, they were as good as saved from it. The mortars couldn't fire within the city barrier because some humans would be caught in the explosion of their shells.

'Does the special ops and mortars affect the analysis?' Blake asked.

[Not that much. The ranged beasts were the ones meant to destroy the city barrier, while the insects and land beasts destroy the wall's barrier. Now, much of the city's barrier wouldn't be destroyed, but the pressure on the insects has been reduced.] The system explained.

Just like the system had predicted, the insects along with other aerial beasts had freely swarmed through all the holes at the top of the city barrier, attacking both those below and the wall's barrier.

Thousands of insects were currently attacking the wall's barrier, and although they were being killed in batches of hundreds by the humans, flames from the wall's barrier, and magical weapons, they never seemed to finish. They were instantly being replaced by more insect-type beasts.

'I have never liked insects and will surely not.' Blake, felt his skin crawling as his view was entirely covered by both the swarm of insects and the sea of fire spells being fired at them.

[Just as I thought, they are focusing more on the cracked parts of the wall's barrier!] The system pointed out the 3 spots of the wall's barrier that had been cracked by the killer earthworms.

'Fuck me sideways!' Blake cursed when he saw the ingenious plan of the insects. Those in the cracked areas were their heavy hitters, and as for the others, their purpose was to attack the barrier to reduce its regeneration speed, but even at that, they couldn't be left alone.

This wasn't the first time humans have dealt with swarms of insect-type beasts. Although they had increased their firepower at the cracked areas. They knew they couldn't switch their total attention to these hotspots because the insects would instantly use the beast tide's connection to create new hotspots.

"What of those below?" Tessie asked. Their job was to take care of aerial beasts and make sure those below could focus mainly on the land beasts, but now they couldn't even see them talk more of protect them.

"They should have retreated into the wall's barrier by now, but if they haven't, most of the insects are focusing on the wall. So they aren't that helpless." Luciano said as he continuously shot down insects after insects with the elemental cannon array.

Luciano was right, most of the human army had retreated into the wall's barrier, but only a few demigods were still out.

"You guys can go rest, I will take over from here." Oliver said to his summons as they left the battlefield through a spatial corridor.

"Other people see swarms of insects, I see a pool of gold coins." With the dominance domain still active, Oliver was not afraid of getting overran by insects as he was searching for a perfect spot for his next act.

"This should be okay." Oliver dropped a thorny seed on the floor and it began digging into the ground.

mother tree!

The ground began to violently quake as hundreds of thin tree trunks began erupting from the ground and twisting around each other to form a trunk that covered 200 meters (656ft). The trunks grew to a height of 50 meters sprouting thousands of aerial roots and a canopy that was 400 meters (1312ft) wide.

"Time to get to work." Oliver who was at the top of the canopy began sinking into the huge trunks that were hidden by branches and trees.

Just like in the champion realm, the mother tree could be set to attack automatically but with him in control, it would be more efficient and he wouldn't be in the open.

On the ground, thousands of large roots erupted from below ensnaring, crushing, and impaling every living thing that came within its range.

At the top, Oliver had made the mother tree to release sweet scents that attracted insects to it. In a matter of seconds, they began swarming toward the tree, instantly reducing their numbers at the crack at the center of the southern wall.
