Chapter 381, Star Region 19
Chapter 381, Star Region 19
……
Inside the Great Insect Bridge tunnel leading to the Angel Nebula, Sky Armor IV and the Taotie Fleet are anchored at node H8TT29, waiting.
At the bow of the Tiankai No. 4 ship, Sumari had just finalized the identification codes for the Taotie fleet.
However, this only earned him a disdainful look from Hua Ye.
"Tsk, hey, I mean, that's cheesy, really cheesy."
Although Hua Ye enjoys indulging in pleasure, he was utterly speechless at Su Mali's recognition command to forcefully kiss He Xi.
The main problem is that they came here to fight, and they've turned wartime codes into such inappropriate terms.
Hua Ye also felt it was inappropriate.
"Wang, there's no way around it. I'm a sentimental person, all about nostalgia."
Sitting on the red leather sofa, Sumari flicked his slicked-back hair, striking a pose that made him look like he was very handsome.
Just as Hua Ye was about to say something to him, a wormhole appeared at the bow of the Sky Armor IV.
"Hmm? Ruoning, come, come, we've been waiting for you."
Upon seeing Ruoning emerge from the wormhole, Hua Ye immediately waved to greet her.
She even moved to the middle of the sofa, making room for Ruoning on the left.
After all, they were about to enter the Angel Nebula's range, so even if he was dissatisfied with Ruoning, he had to restrain himself at this point.
Moreover, he had just earned merit in battle. [Kill the left-wing pursuer]
"I heard about it. They just killed a Winged Guard. Pretty impressive, though he looked rather pathetic."
Seeing the injury on Ruoning's face, Sumari, sitting on the right side of the sofa, couldn't help but mock her.
You should know that "competitors" are enemies.
That old woman was vying for his favor with the king; no wonder he wouldn't give her a kind look.
Ruoning didn't stand on ceremony with Hua Ye and went straight over to sit on the left side of the red leather sofa.
He also made a few sarcastic remarks about Sumari.
"Ha, you can't compare to me. You had so many gluttons helping you in battle, but you got hacked to pieces by a kid from Earth and are now crippled. You still have the nerve to come back?"
Ruoning knew that Sumari had lost to that guy named Dawn of Light, whom she had once "crushed".
Now that sissy dares to mock her, she's going to retaliate fiercely.
"you!"
Sumari gritted her teeth in anger after being exposed like that by that old woman.
But since he couldn't find a reason to refute it, he could only feel angry.
"What? Isn't that right? A year ago, I beat that kid so badly on Earth's North Star that he was completely disoriented. If the Heavenly King hadn't called me back at the last minute, I would have killed him long ago. But he's gotten back on his feet here, huh? You've helped that kid regain his confidence, you know that?"
Ruoning completely ignored Sumari's resentful gaze and continued to rub salt into the other's wounds.
"Don't go too far!"
Finally, Sumali couldn't take it anymore and pointed to Ruoning on his left across the king's gaze.
His face was full of anger.
"Alright, you two, calm down, are you fighting?"
As he spoke, Hua Ye raised his hand, grabbed Su Mali's wrist, and forcibly put his arm down.
Sumari snorted and turned her head away from the old woman.
With Ruoning's return, the Sky Armor IV and the Taotie Fleet continued their journey.
They quickly passed through node H8TT29 and entered their target star system.
At this moment, the captain of the Sky Armor IV came over and reported to Hua Ye.
"My lord, we have arrived."
"Oh? We're here already? Okay, let me take a look."
Hua Ye was momentarily stunned when he heard the news that he had arrived at the target location just as he passed through the node gate of the Great Insect Bridge Tunnel.
However, he still waved his hand to activate the Divine Eye Monitoring Device on the Sky Armor IV, connecting it to the external images.
All that could be seen on the dark matter display screen were seven or eight fiery red stars and many meteorites; there wasn't a single planet!
This completely baffled Hua Ye.
"Wait, what's this? Where is everyone?"
Hua Ye turned his head to look at Ruoning beside him, seemingly doubting whether the coordinates of the Angel Nebula that Ruoning had given him were wrong.
"That doesn't make sense. In my memory, the outer perimeter has landing points for each giant worm bridge, and those landing points are designed to be random? If you weren't someone who knew it inside and out, there would be no way you could remember all the paths."
Ruoning quickly deduced why she had led the wrong way.
However, the fleet still flew towards the star system ahead.
As the fleet drew nearer to the burning stars, Ruoning called out to the operators at the bow of the Sky Armor IV.
"Give me a chance to check the coordinates."
"Proofreading complete. Coordinates displayed: This is the Nine Star Region, the outer perimeter of the Merlo Heavenly Court."
One of the scum operators responded to Ruoning without even turning his head.
"is there a problem?"
Sumali also began to suspect that Ruoning had remembered the wrong way, otherwise why would she need to check the coordinates?
"Check the coordinates again"
Ruoning ignored Sumari and continued issuing orders to the operators.
"Outer perimeter of the Heavenly Court of Merlo, Star Region 19"
At this moment, the captain of the Sky Armor IV responded to Ruoning.
"Huh? Intense stellar activity detected in the Nine Star Region, wow, this..."
Upon noticing an anomaly on the control panel, a young general with stunted growth immediately reported it to Ruoning and his king.
Moreover, before he could finish his report, the alarm system of Tiankai No. 4 started beeping.
"Stop all warships immediately! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Upon learning that there had been a problem ahead, Ruoning immediately got up from the sofa.
He shouted to the white-armored Taotie below who were responsible for contacting the various ships of the Taotie fleet.
Although Ruoning made timely adjustments, it was still too late.
A giant spherical object in this star system detected an enemy intrusion and immediately began operations!
It accelerated the speed of the surrounding stars, causing those fiery red stars to burst out with intense stellar energy!
The energy from those stars formed a massive solar storm that rapidly spread outwards!
Without a doubt, the vanguard of the Taotie escort ships was directly burned up by the burst of stellar heat!
Especially the Taotie on the frigate, which was completely evaporated into nothingness!
Hua Ye also saw the scene of those pioneering Taotie being evaporated on the display screen of the Divine Eye Monitoring Device.
Even he was startled by the bizarre scene and stood up from the sofa.
"What...what kind of sorcery is this?!"
"Your Majesty, this... is beyond our comprehension."
The captain of the Sky Armor IV responded to Hua Ye.
But at this moment, he was also stunned by what he saw on the monitoring screen.
"I...I...I remember Ruoning saying that there are several layers of defense around the Heavenly Court of Merlo?"
Faced with such incomprehensible methods, Hua Ye felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, even his speech became slurred.
"It's said there are nine layers of defense, but for us, that doesn't necessarily mean there are nine. The outcome will vary depending on the level of the civilization."
When Hua Ye asked, Ruoning naturally answered honestly.
However, because she understood that this was the moment when she was needed, Ruoning crossed her arms and adopted an arrogant attitude.
"for example?"
"For example, against the Blazing Sun Civilization, this defense wouldn't be considered a defense at all."
As she spoke, Ruoning sat back down on the sofa.
"Why?"
Seeing Ruoning sit down, Hua Ye also sat back down in the middle of the red leather sofa.
"Your knowledge is shallow, and there are many things you simply cannot learn. I don't intend to teach you; just leave it to me to direct."
Ruoning still crossed her arms and continued to speak disparagingly of Hua Ye without any hesitation.
She was clearly trying to use this opportunity to tell the other person that she was important.
"Hehehehe~ I need a god like you, Ruoning~"
Hua Ye understood Ruoning's meaning, but he wouldn't turn against her at this time.
He even reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, chuckling lewdly a few times.
"Alright, follow my instructions. This is the Nine Star Region, the only way to reach the Heavenly Court of Merlo. Otherwise, we'd have to go through several star systems."
"Those star systems have neither intelligent civilizations nor worm bridges. Apart from us second and third generation angels who can use the Wings of Time to cruise quickly, it would take the entire fleet tens of thousands of years to go around them."
Ruoning was busy "seizing power" and had no time to let Hua Ye seduce her, so she got up from the sofa.
"Quick, quick, tell me how to break through this defense!"
Hua Ye didn't care that Ruoning avoided him; he needed this "stepping stone" to get into the Mero Heavenly Court.
Naturally, everything will go her way.
"What's the rush? The density of stars here is quite high. Queen Keisha has instructed He Xi to research stellar drive technology."
"A large-scale celestial engineering project was set up in this region to intensify stellar activity, causing the temperature to rise so drastically that even the Taotie's warships could not withstand it, and thus they were vaporized."
Considering that Hua Ye had given her authority, Ruoning naturally wanted to share the information she knew.
"Oh, what about our angels?"
After obtaining a correct analysis of that sorcery, Hua Ye's fear of the unknown lessened.
"Ha, it's you angels, not us angels. We angels are more resistant to high temperatures than you. Our second and third generation female angels have optimized their genes for this defense, so we can get through it safely, but you can't."
Ruoning saw Hua Ye get up from the sofa, looking eager to try.
She decisively poured cold water on the other party.
"My genes contain elements of female angels and galactic power. Do you think I'm up to the task?"
At this moment, Sumari, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke up.
"Then you'll have to go through a lot too. Here's the deal: I'm the commander, I'll be in command. Sumari, you'll have to risk going deep into the location I've given you and sabotage that celestial project, but there are angel soldiers guarding it."
Seeing that the brainless sissy was interrupting at this moment, Ruoning decisively pushed this dangerous task onto that pretentious idiot who didn't pay attention to the situation.
When Sumali saw that Ruoning wanted to push him to be the first to go, he was a little unwilling and could only get up and ask his king with his eyes.
As a result, Hua Ye nodded to him, indicating that he could be the vanguard (suicide squad).
Sumari was helpless about this, so he asked the so-called commander.
"How many can I kill?"
"You can't estimate it right now; the problem is how you plan to destroy that celestial body."
Ruoning knew that Sumari possessed a silver blade, but a single silver blade could not possibly destroy such a colossal celestial engineering project.
Their Angel Nebula's celestial structure is much tougher than the Taotie's spaceship hull.
It is not something that Silver Blade can destroy at will.
Please enlighten me.
Sumari also knew that those female angels were much more powerful than the Taotie fleet, so at this point he could only rely on Ruoning, the sixth-generation left-wing guard.
Ruoning pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Hua Ye beside her.
"Do you dare participate? That's your heavenly palace!"
Hua Ye was extremely displeased to learn that Ruoning planned to send him, the king, to be a suicide squad.
He remained silent for more than ten seconds before speaking.
Will I die there?
Hua Ye wore a forced smile, and it was obvious that he was secretly plotting how to break this "stepping stone."
"You've been with me for so long, you already have some of the genes of a third-generation female angel in you, so at least you won't be killed by those high temperatures."
Seeing that Hua Ye seemed reluctant to take action, Ruoning reassured him.
Her main reason for wanting to take this opportunity was to see how effective the black hole engine was in actual combat.
We definitely need to find a way to get Hua Ye to fight.
"Then I'll be killed by those female angel warriors~"
Hua Ye continued to make excuses, clearly indicating that he was unwilling to join the suicide squad.
Besides, what kind of logic is it for the king to lead the charge and the soldiers to hide behind and watch the show?
This is very inappropriate!
Are you going or not? If not, fine.
Seeing that Hua Ye absolutely refused to go, Ruoning also lowered her hands, which were crossed in front of her chest.
"Go ahead, go ahead, no problem~"
Seeing that Ruoning seemed a little angry, Hua Ye immediately changed his tune.
"Okay, one of the offensive capabilities of your black hole engine is its ability to simulate miniature black holes, which should be enough to destroy that celestial body."
Ruoning had some prior knowledge of the black hole engine's capabilities and immediately devised a suitable plan for deployment.
"Hmm~ I like this move~"
Hua Ye chuckled lewdly, seemingly recalling his Black Hole Engine, a powerful technique he had never tested.
"Then let's go"
Urged on by Ruoning, Hua Ye and Su Mali finally took action.
After determining the location of the target celestial body, it transformed into two long white streaks and disappeared on the top of the Sky Armor IV ship.
On a meteorite near that giant spherical celestial body, six angel warriors stood ready, spears in hand.
Suddenly, another angel warrior landed on the meteorite and called away the six angel warriors who were responsible for guarding the celestial bodies.
The main reason is that Hua Ye's every move in the Nine Star Region was clearly seen by He Xi, who was far away in Meiluo Tiancheng.
She certainly wouldn't let the angel warriors sacrifice themselves in vain.
After Hua Ye and Su Mali flew to the target location and found that there were no female angels left behind, they immediately got down to business.
Hua Ye opened the operation page of the black hole engine and used space compression in conjunction with void energy.
Create a miniature black hole in the distance that can devour everything!
As soon as the black hole appeared, some meteorites that were relatively close to it were pulled away by its gravity.
Because it was Hua Ye's first time creating a black hole, he set the black hole's operating speed too high.
So the black hole quickly affected their side.
"Your Majesty, could this thing also pose a danger to us?"
Seeing that the smaller meteorites around him were being sucked away by the black hole's gravity, Sumari panicked a little.
He could feel his body was trying to fly away uncontrollably.
He strongly suspected that his king had created a black hole that couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
"Obviously, I feel like I'm being... being... being sucked away a little."
Hua Ye also sensed the terrifying gravity of the black hole, and at this moment he could barely speak.
Fortunately, his black hole engine can manipulate gravity, allowing him to firmly "stick" to the meteorite beneath his feet.
