Chapter 164 Crisis

On the other side, Su Mo's expression also turned serious when he saw the monster through Luthermi's perspective. He couldn't explain why, but this type of monster he had never seen before made him feel uneasy.

The live broadcast was filled with various comments.

"What is that monster? It's disgusting!"

"A new type of mutation?"

"Nothing strange about it. With negative energy distortion, anything can happen."

...

Fortunately, the Star Ring City forum used special quantum entanglement technology as its transmission framework. In the main signal coverage area, it could reduce latency to a very low level.

This allowed everyone to experience the live situation firsthand.

At this moment, Luthermi repeatedly confirmed that the opponent's bio-reaction value was only IV-type. He decisively maneuvered the Wraith mech into stealth mode, approaching silently. Once within range, he lowered the shoulder-mounted beam cannon without hesitation.

A blast was fired fiercely at the ugly monster.

Remember the URL .xxs.

Bang!

Unsurprisingly, the sneak attack was successful. The beam instantly pierced its abdomen, creating a shocking hole.

After a brief pause, the monster slowly twisted around, revealing a hideous head.

However, the hideous and ugly monster did not die. Instead, it flapped its wings and charged at Luthermi with blood-red eyes.

Seeing that he had easily pierced the opponent's body with a single shot, Luthermi waved his dual particle light blades and charged forward, sweeping fiercely at the monster.

Ka!

The two particle light blades plunged straight into the monster's body. Pus and blood splattered from the surface of its body onto the Wraith mech.

In an instant, the smooth armor of the entire Wraith mech was severely corroded.

Immediately, red warning boxes popped up on Luthermi's virtual interface! xxs one.

Luthermi immediately realized something was wrong. He activated full power, trying to break away from the monster, but it was too late!

The hideous monster grabbed the Wraith tightly with its sharp claws. Its rotten Black Torasque head let out a distorted roar.

The monster's entire body began to corrode the Wraith mech, as if trying to merge the mech into its own body.

Tzz...

In an instant, the entire live broadcast画面 began to distort.

"Damn, I can't break free."

"No... ah..."

The Wraith mech's cockpit turned blood red. Then, everyone heard Luthermi's painful scream.

The sudden change and scream sent chills down everyone's spines.

Then the live broadcast was interrupted, leaving only a black screen with the message "Signal Interrupted."

The once lively atmosphere fell into silence.

Seeing this, Su Mo frowned, his expression becoming even more solemn.

"A pseudo-V-generation mech, the Wraith, was taken down by a IV-type monster. What kind of monster is that?"

"That's not a monster from the Valley God Star, but a negative energy pollution hybrid from the Negative God Star, also known as a fusion beast. Its vitality and combat power cannot be viewed with conventional thinking. Normally, a well-trained expert piloting a biological machine made from a IV-type general-level monster, should be able to kill a IV-type general-level monster without special interference. But the fusion beasts on the Negative God Star can't be viewed that way. They can almost instantly kill mechs of the same level, and even kill enemies above their level. That Luthermi was also careless; he shouldn't have let it get close. He should have activated the energy barrier and bombarded it from a distance."

The Creator Devourer explained in a low voice.

"I see."

"But that's not the most difficult or the most important thing to pay attention to."

The Creator Devourer suddenly changed his tone.

"Then what is the most difficult and important thing to pay attention to?"

Hearing this, Su Mo asked with a twitch of his brow.

"Did you see the pustules and disgusting tumors on that fusion beast? Those are the key."

"Those are?"

"That's the second state of negative energy pollution, also known as Negative God Cells, Negative God Virus, or Negative God Seeds. These pustules have strong amplification, erosion, and infectivity, and can even erode and assimilate machinery. It can turn the corpses of dead monsters into fusion beasts, or infect ordinary monsters, turning them into enhanced versions of infected bodies. So, the most troublesome things aren't those fusion beasts, but those monsters covered in pustules. Their strength will soar significantly."

The Creator Devourer then explained.

Hearing this, Su Mo frowned tightly. He then looked at other war updates from Radiance City.

He saw a series of gray posts being pinned to the top.

"The outer defense forces of Radiance City are suffering heavy casualties while fighting the monsters."

"The attacking monsters are exceptionally ferocious and cannot be measured by normal standards."

...

The crowd watching the war in Radiance City felt their hearts clench. It was clear that the defense of Radiance City was starting to have problems.

Within the public channel of the Radiance City area.

Desperate cries echoed continuously.

"What kind of perverted monster is this? Why is it so strong! Isn't it just a bug?"

"Ah!"

...

One mech after another was taken down by monsters covered in pustules. Those monsters corroded and tore apart the cockpits, devouring the people inside alive.

Moreover, on the battlefield, a large number of slain monsters were touched by the pustules on some monsters, instantly becoming infected and devoured. They pieced themselves together, forming disgusting fusion beasts, regaining their combat power.

In the Radiance City War Command Center, Goli stood on the command platform.

Artificial intelligence Guangying projected the various regional war situations, showing fusion beasts breaking through the mobile unit defense lines and attacking the fixed weapons like crazy.

After the fixed defense weapons were damaged, massive numbers of monsters poured in like a tide.

Of the 2,321 defense zones on the outer perimeter of Radiance City, more than 593 were in critical condition, and 722 were in unfavorable situations.

"The current number of casualties is 122,112 and still rising."

"A large number of Negative God Cell-infected monsters have appeared in the monster groups, which has never happened before."

...

While reporting, artificial intelligence Guangying also presented a series of photos, showing a very strange scene.

A series of hideous bugs, Qiju Zi, aliens, and Star Eaters were covered with pustules.

Their eyes were blood red, devoid of reason.

Goli was silent for a moment, then looked up at artificial intelligence Guangying and said.

"Notify all defense soldiers to be careful of those monsters with pustules on their bodies that are infected by Negative God Cells. These monsters' strength skyrockets after infection! They have no reason and will continue to fight until they are completely dead, so do not underestimate them. Also, load Radiance City's weapons and prepare for fire support."

"Yes!"

Artificial intelligence Guangying replied.

Standing to the side, Xia Weiya frowned slightly. She said to Goli, "Lord Goli, isn't it a little too soon to engage Radiance City in the war? Although the situation isn't optimistic right now, it's still within our capacity. We can reinforce the areas with problems."

"I know what you're thinking, but if we wait until the outer perimeter defense lines are all in trouble before acting, it will be too late."

Goli directly rejected Xia Weiya's proposal.

Xia Weiya didn't say anything more after hearing this.

At this time, artificial intelligence Guangying acted, using the manipulators of Radiance City to deploy all weapons, locking onto the troubled war zones from a long distance.

A prompt box popped up.

"Defense Zone 114 locked!"

"Defense Zone 729 locked!"

....

"Attack!"

Without saying a word, Goli waved her hand and gave the order.

In an instant, Radiance City launched a fierce and terrifying attack. Countless missiles poured out from countless launch ports, and beams of light filled with destructive power shot out like a storm.

Rumble!

The monsters flooding into the defense zones were instantly cleared on a large scale.

The precarious situation was immediately stabilized after Radiance City took action.

...

The next day, inside the command room of the Legendary Star Destroyer Immortal Blade.

Su Mo pondered how long it would take for this monster tide to subside while browsing the war situation in Radiance City.

Just then, Su Mo's wristband vibrated.

Su Mo curiously glanced at it, and a prompt popped up.

"Prompt: You have been invited by Qian Chengxue to join the Dawn chat group."

Seeing this prompt, Su Mo was surprised! He didn't expect the company to have its own group, and he was only joining so late. Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but show a rather strange expression on his face.

He then carefully looked at the Dawn chat group.

There were about five thousand people in the group, all of whom were senior executives of the Dawn Group.

The whole group was very lively, and everyone was talking about the battle situation in Radiance City.

"The fighting in Radiance City is fierce!"

"Did you guys watch the battle for Defense Zone 8? I saw Lord Wenluosi's battle there, it was so cool. No matter how many monsters came up, she was able to kill them calmly."

"Lord Wenluosi's battle is good to watch, but it's not as awesome as the Royal Knights · Bagger. He guards Defense Zone 1, which is the central battlefield. The number of monsters there is so numbingly high that he personally killed two V-type monsters yesterday alone."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. One of them seemed to be very special, what was it called?"

"The official announcement said it was called a fusion beast."

...

Just as everyone was discussing it lively, Sun Li saw Su Mo joining the group and excitedly shouted.

"Su Mo!"

"Lord Su Mo has joined the group?"

"Where? My idol!"

...

In an instant, the girls who were originally discussing the front line battle all changed their targets and frantically spammed the screen with excitement!

Su Mo also had a bit of a headache, but he still chimed in with a sentence.

"Hello everyone."

As a result, the whole group exploded even more as soon as he said that, with countless people frantically spamming the screen.

"Lord Su Mo, where are you? Are you also on the front line?"

"You're stupid, Lord Su Mo definitely isn't on the front line. If he was, where would anyone else have a chance to perform?"

...

In just a few seconds, the group spammed tens of thousands of messages. Su Mo's eyes were dazzled, so he replied.

"Everyone has worked hard. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Then Su Mo quickly closed the group chat and took a deep breath.

Before he could even catch his breath, his wristband vibrated again.

Su Mo looked over with surprise, and two prompts popped up.

"Prompt: Congratulations on receiving an invitation from City Lord Yin Kaluoya to join the Star Ring City General Group."

"Prompt: Congratulations on receiving an invitation from City Lord Yin Kaluoya to join the Halo Group."

...

Su Mo was stunned by these two prompts, an invitation from City Lord Yin Kaluoya?

He quickly opened the Star Ring City General Group to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the whole group was quiet.

Su Mo scrolled up a bit to look at the history of the chat log, and found that the last message was two months ago, said by a Major General Lai Kafa, who notified everyone.

Recently, the Fallen God Church has been unusually active, so everyone should pay attention.

Su Mo scrolled up the chat log all the way up. Good heavens, this general group, which had been established for so long, only had tens of thousands of chat logs, and every single one discussed serious matters.

Su Mo then opened the Halo Group. This group was even quieter, with even less historical information.

However, Su Mo discovered that the members of this group were incredibly impressive. All twelve knights of the Royal Knights were in the group. At the same time, the leaders of the various legions were also inside, as well as some people Su Mo didn't recognize, who seemed to be from special departments, such as Qinggui and the like.

Su Mo touched his chin and said to the Creator Devourer with some emotion.

"As expected, everyone sees City Lord Yin Kaluoya like a mouse sees a cat."

"I told you long ago, she's a crazy woman."

"Cough cough, it's okay. But with her around, the group is really not lively at all. Not to mention anything else, the Radiance City group is much more lively than this."

As Su Mo said this, he glanced at Radiance City subconsciously, and his eyelids jumped.

"I haven't looked at the Radiance City information for too long, there are tens of thousands of messages."

Saying this, Su Mo opened the Radiance City information, only to see that it was full of communications from various officers exchanging information about the battlefield.

"Monsters in Battlefield Area 762 have signs of shifting to Battlefield Area 763, pay more attention over there."

"Battlefield Area 88 is under a bit of pressure, can anyone nearby spare manpower to come and help?"

...

In addition to that, Goli's messages could also be seen.

"Everyone, don't panic, stabilize your respective areas. Those with extra power can provide nearby support to the surrounding defense zones. Notify Radiance City as soon as possible if you encounter any special circumstances. Also, you can request remote fire support from Radiance City when you really can't hold on."

...

Su Mo kept scrolling up, suddenly seeing a message, his expression froze.

"What's wrong?"

The Creator Devourer asked in a low voice.

"It's over, it's over, I'm really dead this time."

The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched non-stop.

The Creator Devourer was also very curious, so he took a look.

On the day Su Mo successfully advanced to the Royal Knights, Goli @ed Su Mo in the group.

"Congratulations to Su Mo on successfully advancing to one of the Royal Knights, everyone applaud!"

At the same time, Goli also sent a super-sized merit red envelope to express her congratulations.

Countless officers below claimed the red envelope, and congratulated Su Mo on his promotion at the same time.

However, because Su Mo had set the Radiance City group to not display notifications and be on silent mode. So he hadn't seen it all along, hadn't replied, and hadn't claimed the red envelope.

Therefore, in the following days, Major General Kuna, Bagger, and others were all @ing Su Mo.

"Su Mo, come out and claim the red envelope."

"Su Mo, say something."

...

Scrolling down further, some officers could be seen discussing in the group.

Lieutenant Colonel Odan: What's the situation, why hasn't Officer Su Mo come out to claim the red envelope? His injuries should be almost healed, right?

Major Maize: He's probably busy with tomorrow's ceremony.

Major General Kuna: "So busy huh."

Major Maize: "Hard to say."

...

Su Mo's entire face froze as he looked at the discussions of the many officers.

Although no one openly stated that he was showing off his status, he could see that that was what they meant.

"It's over, it's over, I've offended Goli this time."

Su Mo immediately had a headache at the thought of offending the Vice City Lord.

"Interesting."

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

"Hey, don't gloat, do you think Goli will be angry?"

"How would I know? Some humans are broad-minded, while others are petty."

"Hey, how did I not see that? That Bagger is really something, he didn't even send me a private message."

Su Mo was about to vomit blood.

"It's already old news, what's done is done."

The Creator Devourer replied without thinking much of it.

"Do you think I should claim the red envelope now, and then jump out and say a few words?"

"Do you think that's appropriate? Radiance City is currently at war, Goli is already busy and overwhelmed, and the officers are all fighting. You jump out at this time and say, thank you everyone? That's extremely amusing!"

"Never mind."

Su Mo replied with a very wonderful expression. It was clear that it was not appropriate to speak at this time at all.

At this time, the chief operator of the Star Destroyer walked over and reported to Su Mo.

"We have entered the Gray Domain, your identity authentication is required."

After hearing this, Su Mo waved his hand and brought up the virtual interface, and a identification communication link appeared.

"Connect!"

At that time, an officer with a gloomy face and wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform appeared.

"This is the Gray Domain defense zone, unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching, please identify yourself."

"I am Su Mo of the Royal Knights, I am now going to the Endless Deep Space Prison, and this Star Destroyer is my ship."

Su Mo replied simply and neatly.

The lieutenant colonel raised his hand and saluted Su Mo: "Officer, please open remote permissions, we need to verify your identity."

"No problem."

Su Mo nodded in response.

In just tens of seconds, the lieutenant colonel successfully verified Su Mo's identity, and he said: "Officer, your ship can enter the Gray Domain, but please be sure to proceed according to the planned route, do not deviate from the orbit, otherwise you will be attacked."

"Okay!"

Su Mo nodded, then terminated the communication.

After entering the Gray Domain, the sailing speed slowed down. But the distance to the Endless Deep Space Prison was getting closer and closer. If there were no accidents, they would be able to arrive by evening.

...

Radiance City · War Command Center.

Goli was listening to feedback from artificial intelligence Guangying.

"The major defense zones are currently stable. The engineering teams that are rushing to repair are repairing the damaged area's defense weapons. The estimated operation time is 48 hours."

"Radiance City has currently completed 7 rounds of fire support, 4,922 times of partial fire support, the overall fire load is still within a controllable range."

...

Goli looked at the feedback from artificial intelligence Guangying, and her heart eased slightly.

However, at this moment, artificial intelligence Guangying suddenly interrupted the report and issued a harsh warning.

"Warning, super-strong negative energy bio-reaction detected."

"Calculating..."

...

Goli and Xia Weiya's expressions changed drastically. They looked up and saw a huge red dot emerging in the red tide presented by the scanning device. The red dot was so red that it was almost black.

"Confirm that the target's negative energy bio-reaction is a VI-type fortress level, issue a special danger warning!"

"Activating the stealth nano-imaging capture device!"

"Activation successful, performing image capture."

Artificial intelligence Guangying replied.

Immediately, a virtual image popped up, showing a giant object about the size of Radiance City, with a dark red body, rapidly approaching. On its huge, bloated body were countless limbs and heads of all kinds, these heads kept letting out distorted wails, and the limbs swayed. Embedded in its head were scarlet eyeballs, and those eyeballs were like living things, wriggling non-stop. In addition to this, its entire body was covered with countless huge pustules, and these pustules would explode from time to time, turning into blood and filth, staining the surrounding monsters.

The monsters that were touched were instantly infected and strengthened, and pustules grew on their bodies.

"Identification successful! The target is a VI-type fortress-level · Fusion Beast · Negative God Cell Infected Body."

Xia Weiya's expression changed drastically when she saw this scene, and she said: "How could this monster appear here, shouldn't it be in the Negative God Star?"

"It should have escaped from the Negative God Star during this negative energy surge."

Goli immediately felt very棘手.

"Warning, the target has locked onto Radiance City!"

"Warning, the target's negative energy reaction is soaring, the opponent is gathering power!"

...

Artificial intelligence Guangying kept issuing harsh warnings.

"Enhance the energy barrier output of Radiance City, and issue a war danger level upgrade order at the same time."

"Calculate the enemy's attack trajectory and issue an evacuation order to all defense personnel along the way!"

Goli immediately issued the order.

In the starry sky, Defense Area 18.

The Eighth Squadron of the Seventh Legion of Star Ring City was stationed here.

The leader, Major Frankell, was piloting a pseudo-V-generation biological mech, Fangui, and was fighting hard to kill the incoming stragglers.

Suddenly, a red warning box popped up on their virtual image interface.

"Emergency order, abandon the defense zone and evacuate."

After seeing this, Frankell's eyelids jumped, and he immediately issued an order to his teammates.

"Everyone, abandon the defense area and retreat with me immediately."

"But Officer, we finally stabilized this area, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to evacuate at this time?"

"Execute the order."

Frankell replied without hesitation.

"Ah, yes!"

The many subordinates responded one after another.

Then Frankell immediately led everyone to evacuate to the right.

At this time, the pustules on the VI-type hero-level · Fusion Beast's body wriggled rapidly, and countless polluted bloodstains appeared on its body, then a bottomless giant mouth cracked open, frantically accumulating power.

The entire red giant mouth was flashing with lightning.

With a buzzing sound.

A dark red beam of destruction shot directly towards Radiance City.

All the monsters along the way were directly melted away, and soon the beam came to Defense Area 18.

At this time, Frankell, who was leading his subordinates to evacuate, saw the giant beam coming, and his entire face stiffened. He roared in the communication channel.

"Quick, run!"

But it was too late. The giant beam crushed the entire Defense Area 18. Some of the subordinates and ships that were slower to retreat were instantly covered by the beam and evaporated directly.

Finally, the entire beam of destruction, with unparalleled momentum, bombarded the energy barrier of Radiance City.

Light splashed everywhere!

The entire Radiance City was shaking violently.

The residents living inside were suddenly stumbling, and everyone showed extremely fearful expressions.

"Ah, what's going on?"

...

ps: Sorry ha, I have something urgent, I will continue to add more updates tomorrow ha (*^▽^*)!
