From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

There is an asteroid with a diameter of 130 kilometers in an area 10,000 kilometers away from the defense perimeter of the Nebula City satellite city.

Asteroids of this diameter are considered relatively large within the asteroid belt of this world.

This asteroid contains a large amount of metallic elements and has a relatively high density. Its overall mass is about one three-thousandth that of the moon.

Lu Heng used the Xavier Matrix-assembled probe to fly through the asteroid belt for most of the day before finally finding this asteroid rich in metallic elements.

After the probe detected the asteroid, its indicator light came on.

A hologram of Xavier's Matrix then appeared, confirming that the asteroid was suitable for building a mechanical factory.

Lu Heng then landed on the asteroid and opened the seventh stargate.

The stargate opened, and a new batch of nanobots passed through it to begin excavating the asteroid.

After Su Muyu arrived, Lu Heng rested on the spot to recover his source energy and continued to use the stargate to teleport the nanorobots to speed up the construction of the mechanical factory.

Three days.

Lu Heng opened the star gate a total of twenty times, five more than expected.

Send more nanobots over to speed up the process.

Xavier Matrix controlled the nanobots to dig a tunnel into the asteroid's interior from its surface.

Then, inside the asteroid, they built a mechanical factory to prepare for smelting metals.

Having reached this point, Xavier Matrix proactively asked, "The factory needs energy for metal smelting. Are you ready?"

"We have both fission and fusion raw materials. Can we use these two materials now?" Lu Heng was unsure whether the construction progress of the mechanical factory had reached the point where fission raw materials could be used.

Xavier Matrix gave an affirmative answer: "Fission fuels are already usable, and fusion fuels will be usable in two days."

"But there's one thing I need to remind you: machine factories don't do proper radiation protection because that would take a lot of time."

Lu Heng nodded: "I understand, I can resist radiation."

Xavier Matrix added, "Then send the fission raw materials over as soon as possible and get them into the metal smelting stage."

It must be said that the mechanical civilization builds factories at a really fast speed.

Only five days after the opening of the Abyss Battlefield, Xavier Matrix has already completed the first phase of the mechanical factory, which is now ready to use fission materials.

Lu Heng summoned Su Muyu to share source energy and open a stargate to Blue Star.

The star gate opened, and Lu Heng patted her on the back and said, "This time we're sending fission materials over, so stay away from us."

In fact, Su Muyu also has the ability to protect against radiation, but she still obediently flew further away.

Subsequently, a one-cubic-meter radiation-proof alloy box passed through the stargate and drifted into the mechanical factory inside the asteroid.

Xavier Matrix controls the robotic arm to open the fission fuel tank, remove the fission fuel inside, obtain nuclear energy, and supply the mechanical plant with it.

The energy provided by fission feedstock is so vast that only a small amount of its mass is needed to power an entire mechanical plant.

The speed of metal smelting increased, resulting in the production of more and more mechanical units.

Currently, the machinery factory is still in its early stages, and the machinery units it manufactures are mainly used for production.

Tens of millions of robots throughout the factory work under a unified program, continuing to excavate asteroids, smelt metals, and expand the scale of the mechanical factory.

Over the next two days, Lu Heng transmitted all the fission and fusion materials prepared by Blue Star over.

Having completed this step, it was already the seventh day of the Abyss Battlefield.

According to the reports that have been sent back, there have been clashes between the Summoners and the Shadow Fiend, with both sides winning and losing.

It must have been the [Survival Mode] that alerted the recruits, preventing the recruit teams from forcibly storming the Shadowfiend satellite city fortress.

As more and more information came back, it confirmed the previous speculation that this Abyss Battlefield was indeed a battle involving thousands of people.

The recruitment of a thousand people can be said to have gathered the highest-level superhumans on Earth.

Most of the people who can become top-tier superhumans have their own survival skills.

Moreover, it is difficult to unite people with such powerful abilities.

After all, many teams are considered "god-like" in their own countries and are unlikely to take orders from others.

Lu Heng did not initially intend to rely on their strength.

These people have already achieved their goal by surviving this Abyss Battlefield.

……

After Xavier Matrix's mechanical factory was running smoothly, Lu Heng began to transfer Swordholders from other civilizations.

First, there are the elves.

After the stargate opened, Queen Orianna, Fiona, and Tyrese arrived with a squad of royal guards.

Having already explained the situation of the Abyss Battlefield in advance, Alleanna knew perfectly well that the world she was to attack was the territory of the Shadowfiends.

The key to defeating the Shadow Demon lies in the magical energy of the Elves.

Therefore, there are quite a few druids in this royal guard.

Oriana gently landed on the asteroid's surface, looked around, and commented, "A very desolate world."

The asteroid belt is indeed desolate in comparison.

Despite the abundance of meteorites and asteroids in the asteroid belt, it is actually very empty; you might not see a single asteroid for hundreds of kilometers.

Furthermore, these asteroids lack the conditions necessary for life to arise; if the Shadow Demons hadn't inhabited these areas, there would be no signs of any life activity whatsoever.

Lu Heng greeted the familiar elves, such as Tyrese and Fiona, and noticed that Elder Serene of the Forest was not there.

Orianna casually replied, "Teacher Therien asked me to give you his regards. He needs to stay in Quel'dorei to guard his homeland. If I am unable to return, Teacher Therien will temporarily take over the tribe."

Actually, Lu Heng was slightly surprised to see Queen Aureanna come in person.

After all, as the queen of the elves, her safety is of utmost importance.

This is a cross-world offensive operation, extremely dangerous. If it fails, we might die here.

This was an unbearable blow to the Elven race.

Fiona added, "It was the Queen who insisted on coming in person. I was supposed to lead the team, but this battle was too dangerous."

Lu Heng and Queen Oriana exchanged a smile, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

Queen Orianna smiled and said, "I was the one who joined the Swordholders. I should have come in person. Even if I can't go back, the Elven race will continue to rise again."

The reason she insisted on coming in person was because of what Lu Heng said to her by the Pawprint Lake.

The Elven race has been fighting the Abyss for seven hundred years, but has yet to find a way to purify it.

Continuing to passively resist will not give us any chance to turn the tide.

Therefore, she chose to trust Lu Heng, at least to try a radical approach, hoping it might break the deadlock.

Moreover, her level has reached a bottleneck, and it will be difficult for her to advance to demigod status by relying solely on the water from the Moon Well.

The elves have only one Moonwell left, and they can't use its water indiscriminately. Therefore, to gain something, they need to pay a corresponding price.

After considering all factors, she ultimately decided to lead the team herself.

The druids in the Queen's guard began trying to plant golden trees in the asteroid belt, but the success rate was very low.

After all, it's difficult to find suitable soil and water for the growth of golden trees in the asteroid belt.

……

The elves have assembled; the second to assemble is the siren.

Lu Heng opened the star gate connecting to the Sea of ​​Tides, and Sona led a group of siren priests over.

The elves and the sirens had some contact before; they weren't exactly allied races, but they were not strangers.

This was the official meeting between the Elf Queen and the High Priest of the Siren Clan.

Both women were very proud, shook hands with human etiquette, and wore the same smile on their faces.

"I've heard Lu Heng mention the High Priestess of the Siren Clan; she is indeed very beautiful," Queen Oriana said, tilting her long neck in praise.

“I’ve also heard Lu Heng mention the Queen, and she is as noble and beautiful as I imagined,” Sona replied with praise.

"Thank you," Queen Aureanna said with a smile.

The leaders of the two tribes met in a desolate world, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Normally, even in the territories of the elves and sirens, it is not easy to see their queen, let alone in a desolate world full of dangers.

After the Siren arrived, they began searching for water in the asteroid belt.

After searching for several days, water was finally found on a relatively low-density asteroid.

Water is the source of life; with water, other conditions are easily met.

Using the water on this asteroid, the elven druid finally managed to grow three golden saplings.

The Siren race took most of the water they found, which coalesced into a giant water sphere with a diameter of ten kilometers.

A water sphere ten kilometers in size might be a spectacular sight in other worlds, but it's not particularly remarkable in the asteroid belt.

From a distance, it looks like just a slightly larger asteroid.

The Sirens still prefer to stay in the water, so this ten-kilometer-diameter water sphere became their temporary habitat.

……

Next to gather are the Black Iron Dwarves and the Bancel tribe.

The Dark Iron dwarves are rebuilding the Lava Crown and cannot spare much manpower for expeditions.

However, the Dwarf King Thaurisser Bronzeforge personally led the Dark Iron Guard through the Stargate to participate in the battle.

The Banser people are in a similar situation.

Mia and her father had an argument about who should lead the team.

Mia is already the leader of the Bancel tribe, and under normal circumstances, she would not personally participate in such a dangerous battle.

Ironarm wanted to lead the expedition, leaving Mia to stay in Stonehammer Castle to take care of her people.

Mia refused and insisted on joining the battle herself.

The father and daughter had a fight, and in the end, Iron Arm had no choice but to admit his age and agree to Mia's insistence.

After Mia led the team away, Ironarm stayed in Stonehammer Keep to take care of his granddaughter, Little Daisy, and to make long-term plans for the future of the tribe.

The Dark Iron Dwarves and the Bancel were allies centuries ago.

Therefore, after Soreville Copper Furnace and Mia met, and through Lu Heng's introduction, they exchanged friendly greetings and expressed their intention to learn forging techniques from each other in the future.

Mia then met Queen Aureanna and expressed her sincere gratitude.

It was the Elven race that helped the Bancel race plant golden trees on the west side of Stonehammer Valley, preventing the abyss pollution from spreading further.

The one in charge of planting the golden trees at the time was Serene; Mia had never met Queen Oriana.

I am naturally grateful to have met you in person this time.

Queen Orianna approved of the plan to help the Bancel tribe plant the Golden Tree, and it was with her approval that Serene stepped in to help.

Of course, Queen Oriana only helped because of Lu Heng.

Now that she had met the leader of the Banser tribe, she was quite pleased with her. She took off a bracelet, put it on Mia's wrist, then patted her head and praised her:
"As Lu Heng said, the girls of the Banser tribe are indeed very lovely. I hope you can revive them."

Mia quickly thanked them, clenching her fist and saying, "We will."

The sword bearers from all civilizations have assembled.

Lu Heng introduced everyone to the group, then said with emotion, "I never imagined that one day I could bring everyone together, to work side by side for a common ideal and goal."

"Walk side by side," everyone responded in unison.

Soreville Copperfurnace laughed heartily, "A glass of ale would be just like this."

Because stargate teleportation has quality limitations, everyone can only carry weapons and cannot carry beverages like ale.

Queen Orianna replied in an elegant voice, "After this battle is over, I invite you all to Quel'dorei to taste the fruit wine brewed with the water of the Moonwell."

"Okay, I'll definitely try it then."

The Dark Iron Dwarves have a great fondness for alcohol, though they prefer strong spirits. However, fruit wine is also a novel experience, especially fruit wine brewed with Moonwell spring water.

Xavier Matrix interjected at the opportune moment: "Yes, I have no way of tasting it."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Looking at this group of leaders from different civilizations, gathered together for the same goal, Lu Heng was filled with emotion.

At this moment, Lu Heng became even more determined in his beliefs.

If our previous insistence on uniting with other civilizations to fight against the Abyss was merely a beautiful vision, we don't know whether the outcome will be good or bad.

It is now certain that this idea is correct, at least it has brought together a group of people who share the same idea.

With such a group of strong individuals working side by side, what difficulties can't we overcome?
After everyone had laughed for a while, Lu Heng returned to the main topic:
"Before gathering everyone, I revealed that the objective of this campaign was to raid the Shadow Fiend's territory, but I didn't specify it in detail."

"Now I'll tell you our true goal, which is... to destroy the entire Shadow Demon world."

Upon hearing this, Mia, Soreville Copperfurnace, and the others showed expressions of surprise.

Especially Mia.

The Bancel race has just been saved from the brink of annihilation, and now they're about to destroy a demon world?
This was something she never dared to even imagine.

Queen Orianna and High Priestess Sona of the Siren Clan were more composed, having seen much of the world and experienced the power of the gods.

Lu Heng continued, "Next, let Professor Xavier introduce the progress of this world-destroying plan."

The Abyss Battlefield is displayed in [Survival Mode], but Lu Heng's real goal is "Apocalypse Mode." If he's going to do it, he'll go all the way and completely destroy this world. (End of Chapter)
