159: The unfortunate Fifth Legion, connected to the Celestial Race world
Central Plaza, underground space.
A colossal object, gleaming with metallic luster, filled Lin Xingyu’s entire vision.
“Giant goblin bomb”
“Note: 10 minutes and 32 seconds remaining until detonation.”
“Sir… Sir, we should leave quickly!”
Morin’s face was ashen, looking at the giant bomb in front of him, his voice trembling slightly.
He completely didn't understand what Lin Xingyu wanted to do by bringing him here.
Was it to disarm the bomb? To seek excitement?
Or was it curiosity?
What kind of time was this to be doing such things!
Damn it, he wasn't going to die with him, was he?
He now regretted seeking Lin Xingyu.
However, before he could think further, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Lin Xingyu placed his hand on the bomb, and the giant bomb instantly vanished.
“This… this…”
Morin rubbed his eyes, suspecting he was hallucinating.
“There’s still time!”
Lin Xingyu ignored Morin’s shock, and after storing the bomb in his Inner World, he dashed out.
“Let’s go!”
Returning to the surface, he leaped onto the Dark Fiend Dragon that was already waiting.
“Whoosh—”
The strong wind howled as the Dark Fiend Dragon carried Lin Xingyu soaring into the sky, flying towards outside the city.
The Dark Fiend Dragon was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it carried Lin Xingyu away from Giant Mine City and into the wilderness.
Just as he was about to throw the bomb, Lin Xingyu’s gaze sharpened, seeing numerous black dots appearing in the distance.
“Dark Evil, go over there!”
...Not far from Lin Xingyu, the Empire’s Fifth Legion was on a forced march.
“Prepare for battle! We must annihilate the enemy while they are still unstable!”
The Legion Commander’s voice echoed through the communication channel.
They were not far from Giant Mine City; at their speed, they would arrive in fifteen minutes.
He wanted to catch the enemy off guard.
“Report, Legion Commander, an exotic beast is rapidly approaching in the air!”
The scout’s voice rang out in the communication channel.
A screen projected an image: an exaggeratedly shaped exotic beast was flying towards them.
Its entire body was as black as ink, with giant claws and Fangs… “Fire! Shoot it down!”
The Legion Commander gave the order without hesitation.
The opponent clearly wasn't to be trifled with; whatever its intentions, shoot it down first.
The “sky guardian” units all switched from forced march mode to combat mode.
They extended, opening their back weapon bays to reveal huge cannon barrels inside.
Pale blue energy gathered at the muzzles, aiming at the rapidly approaching Dark Fiend Dragon.
However, before they could finish charging, the Dark Fiend Dragon had already flown over the Legion.
Immediately after, a colossal object appeared out of thin air, plummeting rapidly downwards.
“This is…”
The moment he clearly saw the object, the Legion Commander’s face drastically changed.
“Don’t fire! Retreat quickly!”
He roared hoarsely, pushing his engine power to the maximum, frantically fleeing into the distance.
It was a giant bomb!
Such a massive volume was enough to completely obliterate the entire Fifth Legion.
There was no time for anything else now, escaping was paramount!
“Damn it, don’t attack! That’s a bomb!”
“Damn it, why is it so big?”
“Run! Don’t block me!”
“It’s over, it’s over…”
The Fifth Legion fell into chaos; they scattered in terror, but it was too late.
Before they could flee much further, the bomb detonated with a roar.
“Boom—”
A deafening roar tore through the heavens and earth, and a huge mushroom cloud shot into the sky.
The shockwave swept out like a tsunami.
The Fifth Legion was like ants falling into a furnace; their proud mechs were fragile andUnbearable in the face of this world-destroying explosion.
Mechs at the center of the explosion were instantly vaporized, disappearing without a trace.
Those slightly on the periphery were also torn to shreds by the shockwave.
The Fifth Legion was completely wiped out, with no survivors, and even the Legion Commander failed to escape this catastrophe… The moment he threw the bomb, Lin Xingyu teleported back to his Inner World with the Dark Fiend Dragon.
“Alas, what a pity…”
Looking at the ravaged landscape outside, Lin Xingyu showed a look of regret.
An entire Legion, tens of thousands of troops, were annihilated just like that.
How many mechs, how many evolution fruit were lost!
“Never mind, let’s sweep Giant Mine City first.”
Lin Xingyu shook his head, casting aside his thoughts, and teleported to Wang Ledian’s side.
“Crisis averted! Continue the sweep!”
With the order given, the army moved again.
They poured out of the teleportation channels, rushing to various parts of Giant Mine City to collect valuable items.
Mechanical equipment, various supplies, goblins… “Haha, Brother Yu, leave this kind of thing to me from now on!”
Wang Ledian sidled over, his face filled with excitement.
He had seen that earth-shattering scene from afar.
It was just like dropping a nuclear bomb; just watching it made one’s blood boil.
He also wanted to experience it firsthand.
“OK!”
Lin Xingyu made a gesture.
Wang Ledian could also store bombs in his Inner World, so he could indeed take over next time.
“Bring Morin over and have him persuade the goblins to surrender.”
Morin was the Vice City Lord of Giant Mine City; with him present, it could save a lot of trouble.
Now that the crisis was averted, it was time for harvest.
Fortunately, there was a minefield outside, and not a single goblin escaped, all becoming his spoils of war… Otherworld Battlefield, Garrison Fortress.
The shouts of battle shook the heavens, and dense alien warriors swarmed towards the fortress like a tide.
On the city walls, various defensive weapons roared, tearing enemies to shreds.
Occasionally, a few enemies would rush onto the city walls, but they would be swiftly killed by the Puppets already on standby.
This was the Human Race’s first fortress, the frontline blocking alien invasion.
However, throughout the entire battlefield, not a single human figure could be seen.
It relied entirely on automated city defenses and combat Puppets to resist the aliens’ frenzied attacks.
This was a special fortress; it was itself the Border-Guarding Supreme’s SSS-Rank Spirit Seed, the “War Fortress.”
And those combat Puppets were controlled by the Puppet Sea Supreme; he commanded thousands of Puppets.
The two Supremes cooperated, forming the Human Race’s most solid defense line.
Inside the fortress, a massive logistics team provided comprehensive logistical support to the two Supremes.
Recharging, maintenance, intelligence support… In the command room, the two Supremes were discussing the recent situation.
“The Heavenly Spirit Clan has two God-rank Experts!”
The Puppet Sea Supreme frowned.
Currently, the Human Race was at a disadvantage on the Otherworld Battlefield.
The Three-Eyed Clan and the Four-Armed Clan had already allied, showing signs of engulfing the Human Race.
Some time ago, a new spatial rift appeared on the Otherworld Battlefield, connecting to the Heavenly Spirit Clan’s world.
This gave the Human Race a glimmer of hope, perhaps they could unite with the Heavenly Spirit Clan to jointly resist the Three-Eyed Clan and the Four-Armed Clan.
However, just now, they received bad news:
The Heavenly Spirit Clan refused to cooperate and expelled the envoys sent by the Human Race.
They claimed to possess two God-rank Experts and did not need to ally with any race.
The appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Clan created a three-way standoff on the Otherworld Battlefield.
The Human Race was undoubtedly the weakest party.
The other two forces each had two God-rank Experts, while the Human Race had none.
The days to come would likely be even more difficult.
“The appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Clan is not necessarily all bad.”
The Border-Guarding Supreme said thoughtfully.
Although the Human Race was currently the weakest, the other two forces were evenly matched.
Perhaps they would check each other, unable to bother with the Human Race.
“I hope the Blazing Sun Supreme achieves Breakthrough soon.”
The Puppet Sea Supreme sighed.
Without God-rank Experts, it was the Human Race’s biggest weakness.
No matter how the situation changed, the Human Race would ultimately find it difficult to escape the fate of being slowly devoured…
