Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 597 Everyone has their own agenda
"Initiate the final jump and abandon the main star."

The command spread throughout the fleet, which was powerful enough to suppress an entire star system, within seconds. The fleet then uniformly reduced other energy consumption, even cut off communication with the host star, and pushed the warp drive to its maximum power.

The vast cosmic plane, theoretically without boundaries, became a hollow sphere riddled with holes at this moment. The fleet easily tore apart distances measured in light-years, then sent the fleet to one transit point after another, getting closer and closer to its destination.

Within the Synesthetic Ethernet network, the conversations between several high-level executives were not communicated externally.

“Abandoning the main star… the last time we made this decision was three generations ago.”

"It's alright. We are not a backward civilization bound to our home planet... If we cling to our home planet, we will be no different from those other civilizations."

"Last time, abandoning the main planet allowed us to establish our dominant position... And this time? It's just to take over a tiny Earth."

"Is it really just about taking over Earth...? You yourselves know the real reason for abandoning the main planet."

Then came a long silence, as if everyone was afraid of something.

"No matter how terrifying that creature was, it couldn't possibly withstand the combined attack of three Supreme Beings... Its body would naturally be used by the three Supreme Beings to refine magical artifacts, but even a scrap of it would be enough for our race to reach a new level..."

"No, it's not a step... This is a leap that is many times stronger than the evolution from a mollusk to the Dao Body we have today."

Greed overcame fear, and within the synesthetic ether, there were repeated low laughs.

"Let the three Supreme Beings destroy him... We only need to take over Earth with minimal damage."

If an outsider were listening, they might think that the damage refers to the damage to the fleet... but in reality, the damage refers to the damage to the Earth.

Earth is a rather good habitat for the Celestials. Planets capable of producing and nurturing carbon-based civilizations with space travel capabilities are generally not bad; and the Celestials have already used Earthling DNA to shape their own bodies—they call this the Dao Body, quoting the Three Supreme Beings—therefore, Earth is even more suitable for them.

In the eyes of the Celestials, this battle wouldn't even become a true war. The rebellion launched by Earthlings came later than they had originally predicted, and their technological level hadn't reached a dangerous threshold. Considering the Celestials' borrowing of Earth's human form and their development of mecha technology, even a mecha legion alone would be enough to crush Earth's living forces.

Earth, which has been colonized by the invisible for half a century... is much weaker than Earth was back then!

"Then let those guys stay put... The resistance forces on Earth's own soil are not a concern. What we're most worried about is those idiots taking matters into their own hands and worsening Earth's condition, which would be a waste of resources for us to rebuild it."

"Instructions have been conveyed to them... Although the remnants of a certain country's power have been discovered, the harmfulness of that plot is something that only existed fifty years ago."

"Until we achieve complete and utter overwhelming power, all conspiracies are a joke!" It would take considerable time for Celestial Being's orders to reach Earth. This was one reason the fleet was deployed at full strength: the Earth-centric communication network had been destroyed. Previously extremely fast information transmission was now incredibly slow… an anomaly that would make Celestial Being consider a colonial rebellion.

However, it soon became clear that although Earthlings had achieved the strongest military record among all their colonies against the Celestials who had developed into dominant powers, their native rulers were indeed all loyal traitors. After the communication network was destroyed, the Earth's tribunal was even more panicked than they were, and even reported the situation to them through Adam's program backdoor.

Looking back now, it's clear that Earthlings weren't capable of destroying this communication network, which far exceeded their technological level and even their comprehension. All of this should be attributed to that terrifying creature.

The reason we've always referred to it as a living being is because the celestial beings are simply unwilling to admit that the creature is an Earthling...

When the instructions reached Earth, the referee committee, which was originally planning a major operation, had no choice but to obediently halt its actions.

No one expected Logandao to be able to crush Achilles to such an extent. By the time Hercules's backdoor was activated, the mech's condition was already unbearable to look at. Although the referee committee's expectation for Hercules wasn't that it would actually unleash overwhelming combat power and destroy Logandao along with the Allied command center, this mech was still quite a hindrance.

Their expectation was merely to create an accidental gladiatorial contest, causing considerable casualties. Ideally, the casualties would be important figures from the Allies; but if not, they had their own ways of plunging the Allies into crisis.

The referee committee has a complete chain of evidence, and the live broadcast of the event is enough to make the Allies the villains who control the mechs and slaughter the audience.

However, Hercules's machine was in such poor condition that it failed to cause the expected casualties, was repeatedly and severely damaged by Divana, and was even forced to self-destruct by Achilles. In this light, the Allied Mech Dragon, like the deceased Achilles, became the hero who averted the disaster?
These casualties are less severe than most major incidents in gladiatorial history. While we should express deep condolences, they are completely insufficient as a pretext for war.

Just as the adjudication committee was fretting about whether to bring out other evidence first, the Celestial Beings' instructions arrived, forcing them to back down.

The arena was in complete chaos. Medical units were dispatched, but they could only treat a small number of spectators who were slightly affected... Those in the center of Hercules's cannon fire, as well as Achilles himself, were already beyond dead.

No, Achilles at least had a complete body.

Just as the tribunal abandoned its action, a tremendous explosion suddenly erupted in the hangar on the United States side... Flames burst forth, but this was not what most people immediately thought: the hangar had been attacked.

On the contrary, it was the mechs inside the hangar that, disregarding their own damage, forcibly blasted open the hangar and walked out!

A barrage of artillery fire rained down on the command centers of the United States and the Allies. Almost instantly, the United States command center, visible on the live broadcast, was engulfed in the flames.

In fact, the referee committee doesn't need to overthink things and come up with all sorts of flawless or flawed tricks... Even if they don't want to escalate the conflict, the Central Continent team will still lend them a hand.

“Luo Gandao, begin your performance…” Zhang Jie said.
