Chapter 232 – Florida Man Allegedly Released Pet Wolf to Hunt and Kill Stray Dogs in Neighborhood for Food – His Food.
Inside the cubic ship, the bridge continued to operate. Even though their ship was hit by the guardian's laser and lost 20% of its personnel, the sacred machine cells of the ship restored all components and repaired the ship to its former glory.
"Howl-14 is down!"
"We lost contact on Hyena 13!"
"Foxtrot unit is wiped out!"
"Howl 3 has sent an SOS! Their engine is down!"
At the bridge of the cubic warship, Ingof Jack sat on his seat, listening to the reports from the operators. A thousand monitors in this room showed the camera feeds of their spaceships. However, one-third of the screens only showed statics as the ships had been shot down.
One after another, battleships stopped replying to their status call.
Jack's expression turned dark. He had predicted this outcome, but he had no choice. After all, Overlord Mao Miaomiao's status was superior to the divine elf matriarch Eleanor.
"Tell all units to stop charging at that place head-on. Descend and surround that place. Then, use your superior range to bombard them! As for the ships in the orbit, tell them to navigate to the axis pole. Destroy the planet's magnetic field!"
"Aye-aye, sir!"
The order was relayed to the other warships. A few minutes later, the remaining spaceships stopped charging blindly at Leo's domain. Instead, they entered the atmosphere while avoiding the domain's airspace.
The death toll still rose, but it wasn't as fast as before. Jack counted the remaining warships and was relieved to see the number stopped rising.
But suddenly, a loud explosion erupted and shook the entire cube warship. They also received another report from the other artificial star.
"SIR! COLONY MILO HAS BEEN DESTROYED!!"
"What?!"
Jack stood up from his seat and turned his attention to the side monitor, which showed the status of their ally mothership.
One of the artificial planets exploded!
"WHAT HIT THEM?!" Jack was stunned. He thought that Leo didn't have enough personnel to counterattack or raid their motherships.
The monitor slowly zoomed toward the destroyed ship. The crews at the bridge turned their attention to the screen and were horrified by the scene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTen thousand grey 100-kilometer-long octopus tentacles pierced through the star from the inside and crushed the hull as if they were soft jelly.
A cat-face octopus emerged from the destroyed mothership. Its head was half the size of the artificial planet while its long tentacles were about a kilometer thick.
The cat-octopus opened its wide mouth and chewed the components and werewolves in glee. Its tentacles also dragged everything it caught into its mouth.
NOM-NOM MUNYA!
Jack recognized the creature well. This monster was from a race that the Fenrir Werewolves deemed as their nemesis.
"CATHULHU! WHY IS A CATHULHU HERE?!"
The nightmare didn't stop there. One of the operators trembled in fear as he just received a piece of terrifying news.
The news came from Overlord Max's artificial star.
"SIR! O-OVERLORD MAX's LIFE SIGNATURE… HAS CEASED!"
.

A few minutes earlier
While Overlord Milo infiltrated Leo's planet, Overlord Max remained in his mothership to command his troops. His forces detached from the others as they orbited around the planet to target the other side of the world.
Besides the Yan Dynasty's main continent, there were other minor continents in this world. Small islands surrounded a 15 million square-kilometer continent. In addition, the land was full of small towns and villages of cultivators.
Milo eyed on this continent. He sent his order to his minions.
"Send drone battalions down. Kill every nu'earthe there and set up a foothold!"
The artificial star quickly deployed a million drones, which dove into the atmosphere.
Overlord Milo relaxed on his captain's seat at the bridge and enjoyed the monitor screens of his ship. The cameras of the drones showed the footage of their hi-tech jets destroying the defenseless mortals.
His aide brought him a plate of raw steak, which Milo tossed the meat into his mouth. He then licked the plate to savor the taste.
"MORE!"
The aide, who had the face of a Chihuahua, received the empty plate and proceeded to the gate of the bridge.
Upon reaching the gate, the aide found a transparent energy wall, which separated the bridge from the corridor. However, on the other side of the corridor, the guards were on the floor and were soaked in their blood.
On the other side of the transparent energy curtain, a grey Fenrir werewolf stood there with his arms crossed. He stared down at the Chihuahua aide.
The aide widened his eyes in shock. The face of this man was well-known among all Fenrirs.
"O-Overlord Lucky!"
The wolf grinned. He ordered the little werewolf.
"Open the curtain for me, woof!"
"Y-Yes, Your Excellency!"
The Chihuahua opened the bridge's protective curtain for the werewolf lord.
WHOOSH
The energy curtain disappeared. The warlord strolled toward the bridge and patted the Chihuahua's head.
"Good job, woof."
The aide trembled in fear. He gazed at the corpses in front of the bridge and mustered the courage to ask him.
"W-What happened to the guards, Your Excellency?"
The conversation caught the attention of busy operators in the room. Some of them turned around to look at the Chihuahua.
As the curtain was open, the scent of blood entered the bridge. Every werewolf detected the scent and was alarmed.
The giant warlord swept his gaze over everybody. Vice versa, Overlord Max turned toward the infamous person. Their eyes met.
"Overlord Lucky? Wait, BLOOD SCENT?! DAMMIT! WHO LET AN IMPOSTER HERE?! KARMIC RIVER LAW! COME OUT, BLOODHOUNDS! EAT HIS SOUL!"
Overlord Max bellowed and activated his domain ability. A dozen blood wolves manifested from nothingness and bit Overlord Lucky's neck, arms, and legs. Their fangs sunk into Overlord Lucky's flesh, but they didn't cause any external wounds. Instead, they caught his soul.
Strong mortals relied on dao domains. Immortals could use soul domains while deities upgraded their power into providence domains.
On the other hand, sages borrowed power from the river of karma and called their power "Karmic Law".
But the imposter, who was Leo's wolf statue, exceeded those realms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe imposter ignored the threat and sneered at Overlord Max. He sentenced Max's demise with a revelation.
"A measly karmic law? My master doesn't need to lower his status to deal with a sage like you, woof! I can handle this… SOVEREIGN JUDGMENT!"
The imposter revealed himself as one of Leo's guardian statues. He reverted to his statue appearance and unveiled countless transparent strings in the bridge.
These transparent strings were the karmic bonds between souls and the river of karma. Everybody had one string connected to the invisible river of karma of this universe.
Overlord Max's string was the largest among the crewmates. The thread treaded beyond the mothership into the void where nobody could see.
Max widened his eyes in disbelief. He bellowed in desperation and commanded his hounds.
"TEAR HIS SOUL NOW! KILL THAT IMPOSTER! HE'S NOT OVERLORD LUCKY!!"
The hounds exerted more force. However, their spiritual teeth and fangs failed to tear the imposter's soul apart. They got stuck with something.
The wolf statue who had Overlord Lucky's face snickered. He calmly extended his hand and grabbed the string of Overlord Max. He cut it with his finger and attached it to his chest.
"Our cultivation base gap is too large, woof! You can't expect to harm my master's soul with this much strength, do you, woof?"
Overlord Max screamed in desperation. Although he didn't understand or measure how strong this imposter was, he cursed at the statue.
"I SWEAR BY THE NAME OF HIS EXCELLENCY LUCKY! YOU IMPOSTER WILL FACE HIS WRATH!!"
"That doesn't change your fate, woof. Goodbye."
The transparent string flashed and sucked Overlord Max's soul into the statue's chest. The soul let out a desperate cry before he vanished into the statue's body forever.
CRUNCH!
The sound of a shattering glass echoed in the werewolf statue's mind. He licked his lips and burped.
"Delicious, woof! Anyway, y'all need to die, too."
The wolf howled and sang the silent requiem.
PLOP
PLOP
The confused and shocked crewmates stared at the statue in a daze. Their eyes, dantians, and internal organs melted into goo while their flesh and bones remained intact. Everybody collapsed in their pools of blood.
The bridge was not the only place where the crewmates were killed. The other subordinate warships of Overlord Max also suffered from the statue's domain power, aka the sovereign law.
Countless werewolves in all ships fell without realizing what had hit them. The drones stopped functioning while warships descended and crashed on the ground.
"Hehe. Done, woof! I should go help the others."
