163: Defection
Just as Lin Fei's earth-shattering words echoed across the battlefield and were broadcast to every corner of Saka Star, Lu Zhifei moved.
There was no longer any feigned weakness in her eyes; in its place was a calmness as profound as the Universe and absolute control!
Her right arm, which had undergone Fusion with Dawn Morningstar, was raised horizontally, and countless silvery-white nano-particles flowed from her fingertips, transforming into an invisible torrent of data that instantly invaded the Alliance's official live-streaming drone network, which was still hovering above the battlefield!
Subsequently, using this as a springboard, this torrent of data, like the most terrifying digital virus, surged crazily into the fragile global network of the Saka Star Human Alliance in a manner that was unstoppable and untraceable!
The next second!
The whole world fell silent.
Whether it was the giant holographic screens in the Tianshu City council hall, the public information screens on the streets of Yuheng City, the experimental terminals inside the Kaiyang City research institute, or the small personal communicators in the homes of countless citizens...
Every screen broadcasting the live battle was forced to switch at the same moment!
In their place appeared shocking, top-secret footage that was enough to overturn everyone's perception!
The footage showed a heavily guarded secret conference room.
Several generals of the giant cities, who usually appeared righteous, underwent terrifying distortions after their secret meeting!
Their skin tore, their bones shifted, and they eventually transformed into hideous, foul-smelling, half-human, half-insect monsters!
Using an inhuman, hoarse insect language, they reported on the Alliance's military deployments and technological progress!
The scene changed.
It showed battlefield data backtracking of the War of Fallen Heavens, which had been slowed down and technically analyzed.
It clearly marked how several Star Core Divine Weapons had fallen into the hands of the insectoids at critical moments!
And the culprits behind these incidents were precisely those generals who had just revealed their true forms in the secret conference room!
The scene changed again.
It was ironclad proof recorded by Lu Zhifei inside the S-Class secret research institute when she initially obtained the Star Core Divine Weapon, showing Dr. Allen, the chief scientist, being mentally replaced by the insectoid high command, as well as more researchers being assimilated!
Video after video, encrypted file after encrypted file, data charts after data charts compared and analyzed...
Like the sharpest scalpel, it mercilessly dissected the shiny, beautiful exterior of the Saka Star Human Alliance.
Revealing the bloody truth beneath, which had long been corroded, festered, and crawled with maggots by the insectoids!
"Pseudo-humans..."
"They... they are actually insects!"
"My god! We have been ruled by insects all this time?!"
"No wonder! No wonder the War of Fallen Heavens was lost so miserably! No wonder our heroes were betrayed!"
After the dead silence came a volcanic eruption of anger and panic sweeping across the globe!
Inside the command centers of the seven giant cities, the generals watched their own hideous true faces exposed on the screens, each one struck as if by lightning, falling into a brief stupor.
Immediately after, there was boundless shock, anger, and hysterical madness!
"You are actually pseudo-humans!"
Chris had not been corrupted by the insectoids, because the insectoids had long seen that he was just a piece of trash coveting power, with no personal ability.
"I have actually been working with you guys all this time!!"
"Hahaha, Your Excellency, General," the general of Tianquan City said, the hypocritical smile on his face now completely gone, replaced by a twisted ferocity, his cheek already beginning to uncontrollably insectify, cracking open with carapace fissures, "our identities have been exposed."
"But it doesn't matter, the game of playing house really should stop."
Swoosh!
Chris was finished off by an insectoid claw.
They were already prepared to openly occupy the entire planet.
And the ironclad evidence burst forth by Lu Zhifei had thoroughly detonated the entire Human Alliance!
On the battlefield, those Alliance soldiers who had originally been firing at Lin Fei and the others stopped their actions the moment they saw the truth, falling into immense confusion and struggle.
They finally understood that the generals they were loyal to were actually humanity's greatest enemies!
Their proud battles were nothing more than a tragedy of fratricide, played in the palms of insects!
"We have been working for insects all this time?" A young soldier lowered his energy rifle in despair, his eyes filled with hopelessness.
Yet some veteran soldiers and low-to-mid-level officers in the army, after experiencing the initial shock, felt a raging fire of revenge ignite in their eyes!
"Bastards! So that's how it is!"
"Stop! Brothers! Our enemy is not them!" a small team leader roared.
"We absolutely cannot execute the insects' orders!"
"Right!"
The wave of defection spread across the battlefields like a prairie fire!
At this moment of chaos, above the ruins, Lin Fei raised the Judgment Blade high in his hand!
He did not care about the giant city top brass who had gone completely mad, nor did he pay attention to the ordinary soldiers caught in confusion.
His voice, through the energy resonance of the great sword, clearly reached the entire battlefield and also reached the ears of the whole world!
"Fellow humans of Saka Star!"
"You have seen the truth! The decaying Alliance has long since become a Puppet of the insect nest! Continuing to be loyal to them is to be an enemy of all humanity!"
He pointed at the main forces of the giant cities still putting up a desperate resistance, his voice cold and domineering:
"Now, I announce! Crusade against the pseudo-humans! Cleanse the Universe! All Star Core Divine Weapons stolen by the insectoids will be reclaimed by us! All land occupied by the insectoids will be recovered by us!"
His gaze finally fell toward the distant horizon, as if he could pierce through the clouds and look directly at the ultimate Black Hand hidden behind the scenes.
"As for you, the insect queen hiding in the shadows! Wash your neck clean and wait for me to come and take your dog life!"
This domineering declaration, like that of a monarch, completely ignited everyone's passion!
Immediately after, he and Lu Zhifei no longer held anything back, and the light of two Star Core Divine Weapons soared into the sky!
