271: Chapter 273 Everyone Unleashes Their Power! The Will of Earthlings is Invincible
Inside the bridge of the luan niao starship, the red alarm lights were already flashing like a hellish sea of fire.
It was an absolute dead end.
The core of the God-level Civilization's mothership, that pair of cold, golden giant eyes, was piercing through the void, projecting a destructive strike directly onto the coordinates of Earth's civilization.
All the surrounding space was collapsing, and every defensive shield was emitting creaking sounds of being overloaded.
"Jiang Chen, the shields are at 0.5%!"
Academician Chen Shuyin's fingertips were bleeding from overexertion, but she had no time to care; her voice carried a hoarse, desperate tone, "We can't hold them off anymore. If this continues, everyone will be crushed into elementary particles!"
Jiang Chen stood before the control console.
He did not retreat, nor did he open any escape channels.
He turned around and looked at the massive and heavy holographic image behind him.
That was the terminal connecting billions of people on Earth.
"Open it."
Jiang Chen's voice was soft, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"Activate all terminal links."
"Not just the bases, but the civilian ships, and even..."
He looked at Zhao Gang, "Those working on the Mars Base, those practicing radio calisthenics in the squares on Earth, connect them all to me."
"What does this mean?" Academician Chen Shuyin looked up.
"This is the trump card."
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and pressed his hand onto the matrix of the main console, "They want to harvest our energy, thinking we are meat in a cattle pen."
"But they forgot..."
"Livestock have tempers too."
"And when billions of 'cattle and horses' are angry at the same time, that resentment... is enough to blow this universe to smithereens."
"Activate, 'Will Conduction Circuit'."
"Boom!"
The moment he pressed the switch, Earth changed.
Whether it was programmers working overtime late at night, shopkeepers busy in front of food stalls, or elderly people practicing in the squares.
A voice suddenly echoed in everyone's mind.
It wasn't the sound of electricity; it was a person's will.
"I am Jiang Chen."
"Now, I need your strength."
"Not for money, and not for status."
"It is for our home, for our children, for this planet where we personally grow sweet potatoes, no matter how crappy it may be."
"Those willing to contribute a sliver of will, just... shout in your hearts."
It was almost instantaneous.
On the streets of Tianhai City, thousands of people stopped in their tracks simultaneously.
The strong men working on the construction sites dropped their shovels and closed their eyes.
The engineers working at the Mars Base put down their wrenches and stood up straight.
In the distant Hope City, countless Wasteland warriors gripped their guns tightly.
"Good Luck Coming!"
That addictive melody actually turned into a resonance for billions of people at this moment.
Golden light spots began to appear in every corner of Earth.
That was not electricity.
Nor was it heat.
It was pure, unyielding human willpower, that obsession of "biting off a piece of flesh from the gods even if we die."
"Rise!"
Jiang Chen felt the power surging madly from the void, and his entire being seemed to be ignited.
His hair began to grow wildly, golden light flickered in his pupils, and that power belonging to Earth's civilization, which had never been taken seriously before, reached its limit at this moment.
"luan bird! Overload!"
Jiang Chen gripped the Law of Causality remote control and let out a final roar at the high-and-mighty golden eyes on the screen:
"This is the will of humanity!"
"Didn't you say we were bugs?!"
"Then let you high-and-mighty gods taste the feeling of being bitten back by bugs!"
"Explode—for me!!!"
That originally dim blue shield suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light at this moment.
That was the color of the anger of billions of people.
That terrifying golden torrent ignored the obstruction of space and turned into a tangible battle spear, piercing fiercely into the energy hub of The Sweepers' mothership.
No dodging.
No suspense.
In the eyes of all civilization observers.
The God-level mothership that had ruled this star sector for ten thousand years actually let out a shrill, human-like scream under this blow.
It was collapsing.
It was disintegrating.
Its proud dimensional shields shattered inch by inch under the torrent of the Earthlings' anger, like snowflakes poured over with boiling water.
"This... this is impossible..."
In the command room, the main brain of The Sweepers' mothership emitted a series of garbled, terrified wails:
"Why..."
"Why is the energy reading of these ants higher than ours?!"
"Logic collapse! Unable to understand! Unable to calculate!"
"What is inside this? Why..."
"Why do I feel fear?!"
It looked at the young man on the screen who was smiling slightly at it.
It suddenly realized.
In this backward, remote galaxy where even intergalactic colonization had just begun.
What it encountered was not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
What it encountered.
Was a group of lunatics with the craziest willpower and the most unreasonable... madness.
"Stop looking."
Jiang Chen made a "throat-slitting" gesture toward the screen.
"Your energy belongs to me."
"Your ship belongs to me."
"And you..."
"Can go to hell and continue your dream of being The Keeper."
He pressed the final command with his backhand.
A dazzling white light instantly swallowed the entire mothership, and together with all the dignity of that so-called "advanced civilization," it turned into the most brilliant wreckage in the universe.
In the command room.
Zhao Gang slumped in his chair, watching the data on the screen return to zero.
He tremblingly took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.
"Boss."
"We... actually won."
"Not actually."
Jiang Chen stood up from his chair, looking at the starry sky that had returned to calm, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful smile.
"It was always going to win."
"It's just that this time, the commotion was a bit too big."
"Remember to tell the finance department later."
He patted the dust off his clothes, "Drag this mothership wreckage back for me and polish it up."
"The company happens to be short of a large-scale waste disposal station."
"Since these guys like cleaning, let them spend their next life... reflecting in the trash pile."
Academician Chen Shuyin looked at his nonchalant appearance, and her internal defense line completely collapsed.
This man.
This planet.
This war.
Where was there any conventional logic to speak of?
He was just a monster walking outside the rules.
"Jiang Chen..."
Academician Chen Shuyin walked over, gently took his arm, her eyes complex.
"Now, the entire Milky Way Galaxy knows we are not to be trifled with."
"What do you plan to do? Continue to expand outward?"
Jiang Chen glanced at the star map.
On it, there were countless civilization coordinates with red dots.
Those were all more powerful predators in this "Dark Forest."
"Expand?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth.
He picked up the rusty remote control again and spoke toward the void, as if issuing a final notice to the whole world:
"No, no need to expand."
"As long as they dare to come."
"Just leave them all behind."
"After all..."
Jiang Chen looked at Academician Chen Shuyin, smiling gently:
"Our galaxy still has hundreds of spots left unfilled."
"If they want to be laborers, I welcome them."
"If they want to cause trouble..."
"Then please..."
"Choose their graves at our doorstep, don't add trouble to the sanitation workers."
After speaking, Jiang Chen strode toward the bridge exit, and the warship engines behind him sounded the battle song of the expedition once again.
This cross-dimensional game had only just reached the most exciting part.
And Earth, this "newbie village."
Finally ushered in its most glorious, and most trembling moment in the universe.
After this battle, the entire Milky Way Galaxy had no more opponents.
Jiang Chen looked at the vast starry sea and whispered to himself:
"Who else?"
"Who else dares to say I am just a village chief who only knows how to livestream goods?"
"Since you like to play so much, then all of you... line up!"
"One by one!"
"I'm in a good mood today, I'm prepared to send you all to—transcendence at once!"
The warship shuttled through the galaxy, tearing through billions of years of darkness.
And at the end of that distant galaxy, a larger, crazier sweeping was brewing.
But he was no longer afraid.
Even if the road ahead was an abyss, he only needed to take a light step.
Because he was Jiang Chen.
The master of Earth.
And the most unreasonable... daddy in this universe.
The hatch slowly closed.
The figure of the luan bird disappeared completely light-years away.
The story continued to gallop.
