Chapter 164 A Little Shock from the Planet Destroyer! Ember: There are so many Fallen Ones here!
Universe starry sky.

Inside the Y-03 small interstellar fortress.

Wearing an ill-fitting commander's uniform, Tang Yunxuan, who was sitting imposingly in the main seat of the control cabin, suddenly widened his eyes as he looked at the scene outside the porthole.

"Me Cao?"

Tang Yunxuan cried out in surprise.

"That is……"

"Reinforcements from the Celsa Fleet?"

"Such a huge warship! It's even bigger than Lady Carol's medium-sized fortress! It's practically on the moon!"

Tang Yunxuan's expression changed repeatedly, and his gaze fell on the five 10,000-meter-tall mechs next to the star destroyer.

The mecha was enveloped in a faint blue-white glow, its eyes were deep blue, and plasma beams shot out incessantly from its feet.

Just by looking at it from afar, Tang Yunxuan knew that 'this mecha is absolutely terrifyingly powerful!'
same moment.

Inside the Y-01 interstellar fortress, Commander Leng Feng's sharply defined face was taut.

Inside the Y-02 interstellar fortress, Yin Zhenzhong, with a solemn expression, continuously communicated with the fortress's advanced AI to learn about the newly appeared warships and mechs.

[Under evaluation...]

[Assessment complete!]

[Energy Level: Extremely High!]

[Threat Level: Extremely High!]

[Defense Level: Extremely High!]

【…】

Inside the fortress, red lights flashed incessantly, and mechanical sounds rang out rapidly.

Yin Zhenzhong took a deep breath, preparing to contact Commander-in-Chief Carol.

but……

next second.

Before Yin Zhenzhong could even send a communication.

Carol's voice could be heard in Y-02 and the other nine interstellar fortresses.

Although the voice tried to maintain its composure and dignity, a slight tremor could be clearly heard.

"Commenders!"

"Appearing deep in the starry sky and approaching us..."

"Not enemy troops!"

"But... it's the armed support given to us by the Supreme Lord!"

"That's a star-destroying interstellar warship, a combat mech comparable to a level 16 evolved being!"

For a while.

All ten fortresses were completely silent.

Inside the X-01 medium fortress.

Carol's usually stern face was now flushed.

"Lord Lord!"

She no longer knew how to describe her emotions.

The lord has already deployed a full 10 small fortresses, 1 medium fortress, and dozens of drone armor fleets...

Yet, when the Celsa fleet attacked, it still provided more and stronger military support!
this moment.

Carol wished the lord would descend upon them immediately.

And she will give him everything!
Loyalty, combat, ability, and herself...

hum-

Deep in the starry sky.

New spatial fluctuations spread.

This time, however, what appeared was an interstellar fortress similar to the S-6 fortress, bearing a huge Celsa mark.

There are a total of 3 small fortresses and 1 medium fortress.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Inside the S-6 fortress.

Toby Calvin, who was originally in despair, saw a glimmer of hope after witnessing this scene.

Although the enemy reinforcements looked terrifying, ...

boom--!
The star destroyer mothership suddenly opened fire!
A vast beam of energy roared out from beneath the warship, almost illuminating the entire starry sky!
then……

"Eh?"

Inside the S-6 fortress, Toby Calvin looked completely bewildered.

No, where are my reinforcements?
With such a large medium-sized fortress, what about the reinforcements from three smaller fortresses?
How come it’s gone!

Toby Calvin wasn't the only one feeling lost at that moment.

Inside the interstellar fortress where the Blue Star players are located.

Tang Yunxuan, Yin Zhenzhong, Leng Feng, Peng Siyi...

The newly appointed commanders and the tens of thousands of fleet members inside the fortress all remained in place.

Even Carol inside the X-01 fortress was stunned.

She didn't control the star destroyer to fire its cannons, so how come...

[Beep beep——]

[Automatic attack program activated...]

【Whether to continue? 】

A mechanical voice echoed in Carol's mind.

This was the connection established between the lord and her, and it was through this connection that Carol was able to 'receive' wave after wave of fleet weapons deployed by the lord.

"closure!"

Carol quickly issued the order.

She was still planning to capture these interstellar fortresses, but then the star destroyer carrier fired a single shot...

All four fortresses vanished without a trace, leaving not even a single remnant behind!
Such a terrifying energy beam truly deserves the name 'Star Destroyer'.

Carroll even felt—

Provided there is enough energy, this star destroyer mothership is capable of fighting against large or even super-large fortresses!
[Beep beep——]

[S-6 Star Fortress Requests Communication]

"Connect!"

【Zizi——】

[I am Toby Calvin, commander of Fortress S-6!]

[We request to surrender! We request to surrender!]

【…】

……

……

Solar system, Mars.

Mariners Canyon.

This is a massive canyon that is 4500 kilometers long and 10 kilometers deep.

It is like a hideous scar, looming over the endless, desolate Martian landscape.

At the center of the Grand Canyon.

Energy Hub No. 13 stands silently.

It emitted a faint blue-white light, interspersed with wisps of thick black mist.

Tens of thousands of people were gathered around the energy hub.

Each figure was enveloped in black mist.

Camp center.

A young man with an effeminate and sinister aura stood in the air.

Unlike the corrupt people who live in the 'smoky and chaotic' land below.

There was not a trace of black mist on his body.

Apart from his strange, jet-black pupils without a trace of white, he looked no different from any other human evolved being.

Inside and outside the camp, there was an eerie silence, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.

Among the tens of thousands of fallen ones, none dared to provoke this 'Prince' at this moment.

Everyone knows...

Beneath His Highness's seemingly calm exterior lies a volcanic rage and violence.

The army of the fallen has been waiting here for nearly two days.

Two whole days have passed, and the 'despicable human leader' that His Highness is waiting for still has not arrived.

Time passes slowly.

On Mars, the sun rises in the east.

And this time.

At the end of the Grand Canyon, along with the sun, tens of thousands of blurry figures appeared.

"coming!"

The Fallen Prince, suspended in mid-air, suddenly spoke.

His voice was soft, yet it carried throughout the entire camp.

For a while.

Tens of thousands of Fallen Ones inside and outside the camp all looked up, gazing towards the end of the canyon.

"finally come!"

"These despicable humans!"

"..."

The fallen ones sighed with relief.

They would much rather fight humans than endure this oppressive and suffocating atmosphere.

"Your Highness!"

"Your decision is so wise!"

"We just need to wait here and wait for the humans to come to us!"

Beside the effeminate young man, the captain of the Fallen Ones opportunely began to flatter him.

The young man remained silent, simply gazing quietly into the distance.

His anger had been building up for a very long time.

He hoped, he desperately hoped...

These reckless humans can endure a little longer instead of shattering at the slightest touch.

thump—

boom-boom—!
The earth shook violently, and the canyon trembled slightly.

The rapid march of tens of thousands of human unlockers caused a great stir.

Not long after.

Tens of thousands of people arrived outside the No. 13 Energy Hub camp.

The two sides are far apart, only a dozen kilometers apart.

whoosh-

The effeminate young man flew out of the camp alone.

He stood in the air, looking down at the human army not far away.

Who is the leader?

The effeminate young man spoke softly.

He had a very short temper, so he had no patience whatsoever and was ready to take action right away.

Swah——

Athena appeared in the sky in a flash.

Behind her, divine wings fluttered gently, exuding an aura of supreme nobility. "Hmm?"

The effeminate young man was slightly taken aback when he saw Athena.

"you?"

"The leader of the human faction?"

The effeminate young man frowned.

In the intelligence he received—

The one who killed squads of Fallen Ones and stole 12 Fallen Ones energy hubs was a young human!
But what about right now?
A flashy woman who appeared out of nowhere.

Although he looked exquisite and perfect, he didn't care about appearance at all at this moment.

All he wanted was to crush that damned 'human youth' with his own hands!
above the sky.

Athena's golden eyes glanced at the effeminate young man with a detached gaze.

"noble?"

"Fallen nobles?"

"He seems to have a fairly high social standing and background."

With just one glance, Athena made her judgment.

Simultaneously.

She also sensed the special 'limit-breaking' aura emanating from this young man.

Clearly, he, like himself, also possesses the 'limit-breaking' talent, enabling him to unleash limit-breaking values ​​far exceeding those of a second-tier, ninth-level character on Mars Online.

Athena had anticipated this and was not surprised.

Swah——

She shook her head, flapped her wings, and returned to the human camp.

She came here not for a final battle, nor to seize the 13th energy hub.

Athena was only looking for embers.

"Wait, wait for him to come."

Athena relayed this order to the tens of thousands of human liberators in the camp.

at the same time.

After confirming that the leaders and army of the Fallen were stationed there, she also notified the squads of the other energy hubs.

"Assemble outside Energy Hub 13!"

"Specific coordinates..."

the other side.

The effeminate young man was ignored by Athena, and his expression darkened even more.

But he didn't rush to lash out, nor did he act rashly.

His opponent's strength might not be inferior to his.

For the effeminate young man, the outcome of this Mars Online game is no longer so important.

Even if he fails in this Mars Online game, he will definitely kill that 'human youth'!
No, not by slapping them to death, but by repeatedly torturing them to death!

From childhood to adulthood, as a 'prince', he had never been humiliated or teased by anyone like this before!

Until now.

This prince has no idea that Yu Jin actually had no plan to 'lure the tiger away from the mountain and launch a surprise attack on the rear' at all.

It's just...

They just stumbled upon things by chance, going wherever they went.

Whoosh-!
The effeminate young man flashed back to the camp.

"Wait!"

"Wait for him to come!"

The effeminate young man's cold and sharp voice reached the ears of tens of thousands of fallen people.

……

……

Martian desert.

Unlike Mariners Canyon, where the sun has just risen, it is still early morning.

The embers are still in the darkness.

"Depend on……"

“I can’t find it at all!”

Yu Jin was somewhat depressed.

He circled around Energy Hub 10 several times, teleporting in all directions several times.

Can be biased.

We just can't find that final energy hub, number 13.

"You have to hurry up."

"Can't waste too much time on Wasteland Online..."

Ember remembered a line in the description of the High Dimension Helmet: "Time flows differently."

Although in his view, Venus and Earth are both in the solar system, their time should be the same.

According to previous information, the time flow rate is the same for both Blue Star and Planet A3.

Rounding off, the time for Venus and A3 should be consistent.

but……

Since the introduction specifically mentions this, there's a high probability that there are some special aspects that you're unaware of.

Yu Jin didn't like that kind of "Chess Fate" plot.

He didn't want to have only spent a few days on Mars, only to find that several months had passed when he returned to A3.

Swah——

A semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of Yu Jin.

[System Prompt]

[Your commander Carol has captured one small interstellar fortress, Celsa (S-6), for you.]

[Carol has sent you an application—]

She hopes you will arrive in the galactic wasteland as soon as possible; she is willing to give everything for you, including herself!

"Uh……"

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

The capture of the interstellar fortress was not too surprising, considering that he had already distributed the star destroyer mothership and the Tier 16 combat mechs.

Yu Jin never expected that he would receive good news from the Star System Wasteland so soon after he sent it out.

"Looks like this airdrop actually came in handy?"

"Carol is currently embroiled in the war."

As Yu Jin thought to himself, he looked at the application Carol had sent.

This application...

It looks a bit strange, almost frivolous.

"Once we get to the galactic wasteland, I'll have a deep conversation with Carol to see what's going on."

Yu Jin muttered to himself, pulling his attention back.

"Coordinate Imprint, Teleport!"

With a thought, Yu Jin vanished once more.

He decided to change his plans—to overtake the night and chase the day.

While darkness is conducive to finding the light of energy hubs, the daytime environment is more suitable for the 'Light Touch lv9' ability to exert itself.

Om-!
Spatial fluctuations spread, and Ember appeared.

"Ok?"

"No."

Om-!
The embers disappeared again.

Repeated targeted teleportation.

The embers are getting closer and closer to 'daylight'.

at last.

At the end of his vision, a hazy white light appeared.

"continue!"

Ember spared no effort and activated the teleportation once more.

This time.

He deliberately charged up his energy for a longer time so that he could teleport a greater distance in one go.

He wants to go straight into 'daytime'.

Om-!
Intense spatial fluctuations swept outwards.

……

……

Outside Energy Hub No. 13.

The center of a camp where tens of thousands of fallen ones gather.

Om-!
A sudden, extremely intense spatial fluctuation began to spread.

"Um?!"

The effeminate young man, who was gazing at the distant sky, suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp and piercing.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

While tens of thousands of fallen individuals were bewildered, they all showed expressions of fear.

The fear stemmed from the dread of His Highness's anger.

They quickly dispersed.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Within the camp, a wide-open area came into view.

After everyone dispersed.

Everyone then discovered—

The intense spatial fluctuations originated from the center of the zone.

Om-!
After a breath.

A small teleportation channel, visible to the naked eye, appeared in the void.

The tens of thousands of fallen people in the camp were stunned by what they saw.

Meanwhile, in mid-air, the effeminate young man's eyes kept shifting.

He stared intently at the undulating void.

Om-!
In the void.

Finally, a figure emerged.

one……

Human youth!

"Eh?"

The one who was teleported here was none other than Ember.

After he appeared, he looked around and was surprised to see tens of thousands of fallen people surrounding him.

"A lot of people."

"No, there are so many fallen ones."

Ember's voice was not deliberately lowered, and all the tens of thousands of fallen ones in the camp could hear it clearly.

For a while.

The camp was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
