Chapter 791: Leng Yuwei's Transformation (4th Update) |
Su Chen had been waiting outside for five days. During this time, he remained stationed here, yet the radiance before him showed no signs of diminishing.
Outside, the Red Alert Empire and Rota Empire had already engaged in battle. However, no one had discovered the traces of Marshal and Zhenyuan; it seemed like the two of them had managed to conceal themselves.
Su Chen could speculate that they were certainly attempting to assassinate the high-ranking members of the Red Alert Empire. Once the high-ranking officials were eliminated, the combat strength of the Red Alert Empire would undoubtedly plummet, delivering a significant blow.
"Fortunately, I had Number 13 Spy prepare a contingency plan in advance; otherwise, it would have been a bit troublesome," Su Chen muttered to himself.
Just then, Su Chen noticed the radiance before him gradually weakening, revealing the figure of Leng Yuwei. The fragments in her hands had disappeared.
However, this didn't necessarily mean that Leng Yuwei had succeeded; it was also possible that the other woman had taken possession of Leng Yuwei's body!
"Yuwei, is that you?" Su Chen called out softly.
Leng Yuwei gradually opened her eyes, their coldness enough to freeze one's body.
A chill ran through Su Chen's heart. Could it be that Yuwei had failed?
Su Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he realized that if Leng Yuwei had indeed failed, the first one to alert him would have been the System.
"How do you feel?"
"Very good, as if I've undergone a rebirth."
"How much has your strength increased?"
"Well, about that..."
At this moment on the battlefield, fighting was rampant everywhere. Whether in Celestial Space or on those uninhabited planets, the armies of the Red Alert Empire and Rota Empire clashed head-on!
In the starry sky, the battles belonged to the Warships!
Perhaps stimulated by the Red Alert Empire, Rota Empire's Warship technology soared, though it still couldn't match the Warships of the Red Alert Empire. Nevertheless, it could at least hold its ground.
On the surface of the planets, various troops and weapons of the Rota Empire were fully deployed. Numerous high-energy weapons emerged, causing considerable damage to the Red Alert Empire.
"The people of the Rota Empire are also insane, fearless of death, resorting to suicidal tactics," Zhu Hui remarked as he observed the brutal scenes on the battlefield through various displays.
If not for every member of the Red Alert Empire having a Psychic shield, the casualties would likely have been even greater.
Even in such a situation, the soldiers of the Red Alert Empire did not retreat. Killing enemies on the battlefield was the best way for someone to stand out in the Red Alert Empire!
For an ordinary soldier, as long as they could kill enemies a hundred times their number, they could directly increase their military rank!
Not only military rank but also various rewards!
If someone lost a limb, the Empire would be responsible for manufacturing a new one, ensuring it was identical to the original!
If only the head remained, the Empire could use the person's cells to create a completely new body, perform a head transplant, and there would be absolutely no aftereffects!
If someone died in battle, the Empire would raise their descendants until adulthood, providing various opportunities for them. Partners would also be nurtured by the Empire, ensuring a lifetime of security.
With such an Empire, who wouldn't be willing to fight to the death?
Those cosmic races that were originally considered experimental materials, even ones that could be killed at any time, were promised by the Empire that if they killed enough enemies on the battlefield, their death sentences would be waived. If they performed well, there was a chance they could become residents of the Empire!
Just this promise alone was enough to make those cosmic races fight to the death. After all, they had seen precedents.
The Mutant Beasts, especially the Ghost Clan on Yan Yun Star, were the best examples!
Facing the surging Red Alert Empire, Rota Empire could only stimulate their soldiers to fight in various ways, but they were still being suppressed.
"Marshal, where is the Marshal?" Some generals began to panic, wanting to find the marshal. Unfortunately, despite searching many places, they found no trace of the marshal.
The marshal left without telling anyone.
The generals privately speculated whether the marshal had escaped.
But soon, they found it unlikely. If the marshal had escaped, the first person who wouldn't forgive him would be the Emperor!
But the Emperor was currently not taking any action. The possibility of the marshal escaping was low. Since it wasn't an escape, could it be some kind of plan?
Thinking about this, the generals remained composed, pretending that the marshal was still there, continuing to command the soldiers in battle.
Once the Red Alert Empire's powerhouses appeared, they would also join the fight, though each time they went out, it was extremely dangerous.
The powerhouses of the Red Alert Empire were becoming more and more abnormal. Even though they seemed to be at a similar level, the problem was that the opponents were powerhouses who had evolved at least several times. How could they fight against that?
These generals, at most, underwent two evolutions, with the majority only having undergone one evolution. Some hadn't even undergone one evolution. Every time they fought, they felt frustrated.
Does having more evolution cycles allow one to do whatever they want?
Yes, having more evolution cycles really does allow one to do whatever they want!
If they had the opportunity, they would also like to have four or even five cycles of evolution, but unfortunately, they didn't have that chance.
The most conspicuous figures on the battlefield were not the clashes of Warships but three Cosmic Behemoths: the Spectral Moth, Giant Bear, and Mutant Ghost Rabbit!
The Spectral Moth reverted to its original form. Although it wasn't the size of a real planet, it was several times larger than a Stellar Spacecraft Carrier!
Its numerous tentacles swayed back and forth. With a single touch, it could wrap around a Warship, toss it into its mouth, and crunch it like crispy chicken.
As for the attacks from Warships, they felt like scratching an itch to it.
The Starry Sky Giant Bear was even more domineering. Its body was slightly larger than the Spectral Moth's. A swipe of its paw flattened Warships. With a roar, the surrounding Warships disintegrated. Except for the Small Galaxy-level powerhouses, everyone else died in the vacuum.
Finally, there was the recently grown Mutant Ghost Rabbit. This guy, who liked to freeload in combat laboratories, was eventually chased out by Su Chen and couldn't play the role of a couch potato.
Its method was simple. It just opened its mouth and swallowed a Warship whole, even more impressive than the Starry Sky Giant Bear.
If Warship attacks landed on it, the strange patterns on its body would move, directly reflecting the attacks back, causing the Warships to explode on the spot.
The three major Cosmic Behemoths teamed up, tearing through a defensive line!
"Hold them back!" Rota Empire's generals roared. Warships were gathering energy, preparing to use powerful main cannons!
In general, main cannons were rarely used in battle. While powerful, the problem was that it took a bit too long to gather energy. Who would give you that time in the midst of battle?
But at this moment, not using them wasn't an option. Once the three Cosmic Behemoths truly broke through the defensive line, Rota Star would be facing its doom!
