291: Warden

He did not lead the main force, only selecting the most core combat personnel, including Li Xue凝 and her Royal Guards, as well as elite special forces handpicked from the Federal Fleet.

Their target was precisely the secret warehouse marked on Charon's map, hidden within the Dead Asteroid Belt.

That place was a natural radar blind spot and navigation exclusion zone; without precise coordinates and a navigation chart, any fleet venturing in would only meet with destruction.

"Shadow Engine, formation synchronization," Su Lei's command echoed through the fleet's communication channel.

At the same time, the space around the thirty warships began to violently distort, transforming them into ripples undetectable by the naked eye. They moved with near-teleportation speed, making dazzling, millisecond-level transits between countless high-speed asteroids and randomly generated spatial rifts.

This was one of the most powerful capabilities of the upgraded Federal Fleet: Formation Space Warp.

The deadly zone, which would have taken several hours to barely pass through, was successfully traversed in less than ten minutes under their feet.

The moment the fleet exited the asteroid belt, a completely different scene appeared before everyone.

At the center of the asteroid belt's storm was a perfectly calm Void Realm.

A majestic celestial body, entirely polished from obsidian, floated silently there.

It had a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, its surface as smooth as a mirror, perfectly reflecting the surrounding stars, yet it had no doors, windows, or seams.

If not for the map's guidance, no one could have imagined such a magnificent and perfect creation hidden at the heart of this deadly abyss.

"This is it," Li Xue凝 said on the flagship's bridge, looking at the giant black sphere, her eyes filled with shock.

"All fleet, maintain Level One alert! Special forces, prepare to board!"

However, Su Lei raised his hand to stop her command.

"No need for such trouble."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already vanished from the bridge.

The next second, he appeared alone on the surface of the black sphere.

He reached out and gently pressed his hand against the cold, smooth stone wall.

In an instant, the Soul Core within him, which had fused with three copies of the original code, began to vibrate violently. A supreme authority command, originating from the same source as Kindling but bearing his strong personal imprint, was transmitted through his palm.

Buzz... The giant black sphere seemed to sense a familiar key, and its mirror-smooth surface began to display countless brilliant golden patterns.

These patterns rapidly intertwined and combined like living things, finally outlining a giant archway, a hundred meters tall, before Su Lei!

Accompanied by a low roar from ancient times, the archway silently opened inward, revealing a deep passage.

"Come in," Su Lei's voice rang out in the fleet channel.

The fleet slowly entered.

When the last warship also entered the passage, the giant stone gate quietly closed behind them.

At the end of the passage was a vast space, large enough to accommodate a massive army.

When the warships' searchlights tore through the darkness, illuminating this space that had slept for billions of years, everyone was too shocked to speak at the sight before them.

Before them was a silent steel forest composed of giant humanoid creations.

Thousands of colossal figures were neatly arranged.

They were about ten meters tall, made entirely of an unknown dark golden alloy, and covered in incredibly thick armor. Every flat surface of the armor was inscribed with dense defensive runes.

They held giant axes in one hand and were equipped with massive energy shields, large enough to serve as city walls, in the other.

They stood silently in place, like an invincible legion that had slept for billions of years, awaiting their king's command.

Titan Guardians!

The ultimate war Puppets, created with the full might of civilization in the last epoch to counter the most brutal wars!

"My goodness..." Dean Li looked at these war machines, so excited he was incoherent, almost on the verge of kneeling: "This, this is simply a perfect work of war art! The ultimate combination of power and beauty!"

Su Lei's Divine Soul Power swept over these sleeping Puppets like a warm tide.

He could clearly perceive that each Puppet contained a vast and pure energy, its intensity no less than that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the Federal world!

Thousands of Grandmaster-level combat powers!

This was a terrifying force capable of easily sweeping away any current power!

More importantly, in the core hub of these Puppets, he discovered a special linking module that could directly resonate with Soul Power.

This meant that these Puppets did not act based on cold programming; they could be directly controlled through the Divine Soul!

For Su Lei, who possessed vast Divine Soul Power, this was simply the most perfect legion tailor-made for him!

"Charon didn't lie to us," Li Xue凝 couldn't help but exclaim.

"Governor, how do we activate them?"

Su Lei's gaze fell on the very center of this enormous space.

There stood a towering control console, and at its top, a crystal scepter, like a king's staff, floated.

That was the supreme control core of this Puppet army.

Su Lei's figure flickered, and he appeared before the control console.

He reached out his hand, slowly grasping towards the crystal scepter that symbolized absolute control.

As long as he held it, this sleeping Titan Legion would be entirely at his disposal!

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the scepter, an unexpected change occurred!

Buzz!

The entire enormous space was suddenly enveloped in a blood-red alarm light! A piercing alarm, loud enough to tear the Soul, echoed in everyone's ears!

"Warning! Unknown Soul imprint intrusion detected!"

"Supreme control core illegally touched!"

"Activating ultimate defense protocol: Warden!"

As the cold mechanical voice sounded, the ground beneath the towering control console violently cracked open!

A terrifying aura, hundreds or thousands of times more dreadful than those Titan Guardians, filled with destruction, slaughter, and the will to protect, surged from the depths of the earth!

A hopelessly massive figure slowly rose from the cracked ground.

It was also a Puppet, but its body was a hundred meters tall, like a moving dark mountain!

Its body was forged from an even deeper dark alloy, and its four thick arms held four colossal weapons that reached the sky: a sword, a shield, a spear, and an axe!

In its chest, a Fusion furnace like a small sun was emitting a heavy thumping sound, like a heartbeat!

It lowered its head, its eyes, made of pure destructive energy, locked firmly onto Su Lei, who was floating before the control console.

A cold judgment echoed throughout the entire space.
