Chapter 17: The Battle to Defend Earth! An Epic Showdown of Millions of Soldiers

The sky split open, and ten thousand warships blotted out the sun.

The army of the Zeta Civilization poured out like a tide: mechanical soldiers, combat robots, Star Destroyers...

Numbering over ten million, they covered the entire atmosphere.

[Zeta Civilization Main Force]

[Warships: 10,000]

[Army: 10,000,000]

[BOSS: General Zeta × 100]

[Ultimate BOSS: Emperor Zeta (Lv.100)]

On Earth's side, ten million players had already assembled.

"Everyone, hear my command!" Lin Feng's voice echoed through heaven and earth, "Deploy formations!"

The players immediately fanned out, forming a massive battle array.

Tank classes in the front, DPS classes in the middle, healers in the rear, and long-range classes at the very back.

"Battle Array Buff activated!"

[All players' attributes +100%]

[All players' damage +50%]

[All players' defense +50%]

"Fire!"

Countless skills soared into the sky: fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, arrows...

They converged into a massive stream of energy, blasting toward the alien fleet in the sky.

"BOOM—!!!"

Hundreds of warships were hit, exploding in mid-air and turning into countless fragments.

"Counterattack!" a General Zeta roared.

The alien fleet opened fire simultaneously, and countless laser beams poured down.

"Shields!"

All healer classes cast their shield skills at once, and a massive curtain of light enveloped the entire battlefield.

The laser beams struck the shield, stirring up countless ripples, but the shield remained unmoved.

"Good!" Lin Feng stepped into the air, his fallen blade radiating a blood-red light, "Now, watch me!"

He charged toward the alien fleet in the sky, swinging the fallen blade.

"Universe Ruler!"

Space split open, and countless warships poured out from within.

[Summon Cosmic Warships × 100]

[Summon Cosmic Warriors × 10,000]

The cosmic fleet summoned by Lin Feng consisted of giant ships, each a thousand meters long, their muzzles flickering with terrifying energy.

"Fire!"

The cosmic warships fired simultaneously, and devastating energy beams pierced through the Zeta fleet.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Thousands of alien warships were destroyed, exploding into fireballs in the sky.

The General Zetas were terrified.

"This... what kind of power is this?!"

"This is the power of Earth!" Lin Feng sneered, swinging the fallen blade repeatedly.

Every sword strike could cleave a warship, and every hit could instantly kill thousands of enemy troops.

[Kills × 1,000]

[Kills × 5,000]

[Kills × 10,000]

The players on the ground also began their frenzied battle.

"Kill!"

Tank classes charged at the very front, slamming into mechanical soldiers with their shields.

DPS classes followed closely behind, with all sorts of skills flying everywhere.

Healer classes in the rear continuously restored health, ensuring the safety of their comrades.

"Fireball Barrage!"

"Freezing Spell Lockdown!"

"Chain Lightning!"

Countless skills bloomed on the battlefield, and the alien army retreated steadily.

Emperor Zeta could finally sit still no longer.

He flew out from the fleet group aboard his flagship.

He was a mechanical giant over ten meters tall, his entire body covered in golden armor, holding a longsword burning with flames.

[Discovered Ultimate BOSS: Emperor Zeta (Lv.100)]

[HP: 100,000,000/100,000,000]

[Skills: Destruction Beam, Time Stop, Space Tear, Sword of Divine Punishment]

"Earthlings!" Emperor Zeta's voice rolled like thunder, "Do you think you can defeat me with such insignificant power?"

"I have conquered countless civilizations and destroyed countless planets!"

"You are nothing more than another prey for me!"

He raised his longsword, and a terrifying energy surged from the tip.

"Destruction Beam!"

A beam a thousand meters wide blasted toward Earth; wherever it passed, space itself collapsed.

Lin Feng stood in front of Earth, holding the fallen blade across his chest.

"Want to destroy Earth? You'll have to get through me first!"

"Abyssal End: Ultimate Form!"

The fallen blade erupted with an unprecedented blood-red light, forming a massive sword qi that met the Destruction Beam.

"BOOM—!!!"

The two energies collided in mid-air, stirring up a terrifying shockwave that shook the entire atmosphere.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and was knocked back several hundred meters.

"Such strong power..." He steadied himself, the fighting intent in his eyes growing even stronger, "A Lv.100 BOSS is indeed not simple."

"But you forgot," Lin Feng smiled, "I have System Administrator permissions."

He entered a command, and the system core responded immediately.

[System Administrator Permissions Activated]

[All players' damage +200%]

[All players' defense +200%]

[Lin Feng's all attributes +500%]

Terrifying power surged through his body, and Lin Feng's aura instantly skyrocketed.

"Now, let me show you true power!"

He stepped into the air and charged at Emperor Zeta, swinging the fallen blade repeatedly.

"Slash— Slash— Slash—"

Every sword strike landed on Emperor Zeta's armor, kicking up countless sparks.

[Damage Dealt: 1,000,000]

[Damage Dealt: 1,500,000]

[Damage Dealt: 2,000,000]

Emperor Zeta let out a roar and swept his longsword across.

"Time Stop!"

Time on the entire battlefield suddenly froze; everyone was unable to move.

Only Lin Feng could still move.

"Time Stop?" He sneered, "System Administrator permissions, Override!"

[Time Stop effect dispelled]

Time resumed its flow, and everyone was stunned.

"This... how is this possible?" Emperor Zeta was terrified, "You can break my time ability?"

"I told you, I am the System's Highest Administrator." Lin Feng raised the fallen blade, the blade absorbing the surrounding cosmic energy as the red light grew brighter and brighter, "Here, I am the law!"

"Cosmic End: Heaven-Splitting Strike!"

A sword qi ten thousand meters long soared into the sky, slashing toward Emperor Zeta.

"No—!!!"

The sword qi pierced through Emperor Zeta's body, and the golden armor instantly collapsed.

[Fatal Damage Dealt: 50,000,000]

[Emperor Zeta HP: 50,000,000/100,000,000]

"Still half his health left..." Lin Feng did not stop and continued to swing his sword.

But just then, Emperor Zeta suddenly laughed.

"You think defeating me will end the war?"

"Naive!"

He pressed a button, and the self-destruct mechanism on the flagship activated.

"In ten seconds, this warship will explode! The antimatter energy released will be enough to destroy the entire Earth!"

"Lin Feng, you've lost!"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the System Administrator interface.

[Antimatter self-destruct device detected]

[Suggestion: Evacuate immediately]

"Evacuate?" Lin Feng smiled, "I won't evacuate."

He charged toward the flagship and plunged the fallen blade into the hull.

"System Administrator permissions, Matter Conversion!"

[Converting antimatter...]

[Conversion successful!]

The antimatter in the flagship was instantly converted into ordinary matter, and the self-destruct device failed.

Emperor Zeta's eyes widened.

"This... this is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible." Lin Feng pulled out the fallen blade and decapitated him with one strike.

[Congratulations Lin Feng, for defeating Lv.100 Emperor Zeta]

[Experience Gained: 10,000,000]

[Level increased to Lv.85]

[Obtained Equipment: Zeta Emperor's Sword (Orange Artifact)]

[Unlocked Ultimate Title: Civilization Terminator]

Emperor Zeta's corpse dissipated into points of light. The remaining alien fleet lost its command and began to collapse.

The players took the opportunity to launch a general offensive, annihilating all remaining enemy forces.

Finally, the last warship exploded. The Battle for Earth was won!

[Server-wide Announcement: The Battle for Earth is won!]

[All participating players receive rewards]

[Experience +1,000,000]

[Random Artifact × 1]

In the square, players cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating the victory.

Lin Feng landed on the ground, and Li Xue threw herself into his arms.

"Lin Feng, we won! We won!"

"Yeah, we won." Lin Feng held her tight and looked toward the sky.

The rift was slowly healing, and the alien fleet had completely disappeared.

"But this is only the beginning," he muttered to himself. "The Zeta Civilization is only a Level 3 civilization. There are even more powerful existences in the universe."

"In the future, there are even more challenges waiting for us."
