Chapter 572: Gift

Elosatin and the others on the side also looked at Herares uneasily, fearing that they would be implicated in the next second, in which case they would be dead for sure!

Before Clan Leader Herares evolved into the Star Lord level, it was difficult for them to resist; now that the evolution was successful, there was even less hope.

At this moment, Herares swept its gaze over everyone present, its golden metal spark swaying continuously, and then it spoke majestically.

“Elosatin.”

“Clan Leader, what are your orders?”

After being named, Elosatin spoke with extreme unease.

“Elosatin, although your offensive has been ineffective and you still haven’t broken through the Federation’s defense line to this day, considering that you are the most loyal among everyone, if not meritorious, you have at least worked hard, and I am very gratified.”

Herares suddenly changed its usual demeanor and praised Elosatin.

“Clan Leader! It is my honor to serve you.”

Elosatin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and expressed its loyalty to Clan Leader Herares.

“Very good. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, so I have decided to reward you.”

Herares praised Elosatin.

Elosatin was also taken aback upon hearing Herares’ words; it did not expect there to be a reward.

At this moment, the metal spark inside Herares suddenly flared up, and then a captured black metal spark emerged.

“Fire, Spark!”

Upon seeing that black metal spark, Elosatin’s face revealed an incomparably excited expression; this metal spark belonged to it.

Pamier and the others were also shocked, looking at Herares in disbelief.

“That’s right, this is your metal spark. As a reward, I am now returning it to you!”

Herares directly lifted the restraint on the spark, and the entire black metal spark immediately flew towards Elosatin.

“Thank you, Clan Leader!”

Elosatin immediately went to meet it with great joy.

The entire black metal spark merged into Elosatin’s body, fusing with its own metal spark.

The black metal spark instantly exploded with flames, and the Klein biological reaction soared exponentially, emitting powerful waves of force.

Deputy Patriarch Elosatin instantly stepped one foot into the Emperor level.

At this moment, Herares suddenly erupted with power, extending a golden thorny tentacle that pierced straight into Elosatin’s body.

Endless power surged into Elosatin’s body, and in an instant, Elosatin’s Klein biological reaction soared again.

“Ah!”

With a loud roar, Elosatin’s ugly body grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, beginning to break through the Hero level and enter the Emperor level.

Seeing that it was enough, Herares directly severed the golden thorny chain, leaving a portion inside Elosatin’s body.

At this moment, the surface of Deputy Patriarch Elosatin began to change; python-like black patterns emerged, then turned into dark gold. The scarlet mechanical eyes on its head turned dark red, emitting incomparably powerful force, and the surrounding space twisted violently.

Herares looked at Elosatin, who had entered the Emperor level, and spoke with satisfaction.

“Not bad, you’ve advanced!”

“Thank you, Clan Leader!”

Elosatin said to Herares with great gratitude.

Elder Temxi and the others, seeing Herares return Elosatin’s metal spark and even help it advance to the Emperor level, were all envious to the extreme.

Herares looked at everyone and promised.

“You have all seen it. As long as you are loyal to me and fight bravely! Not only can I return the sparks to you and grant you freedom, but I can also help you evolve. Elosatin is the best example!”

At this moment, Elder Temxi could not help it and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Clan Leader Herares.

“Clan Leader, I am truly loyal to you. Look, the other four elders have fled, but I alone remain.”

“Very good. I have seen your loyalty.”

Clan Leader Herares immediately released a red metal spark and returned it to Elder Temxi.

“Thank you, Clan Leader!”

Elder Temxi went to meet it with great excitement.

The red metal spark merged into Temxi’s body, and suddenly, dark red patterns appeared on Temxi’s body. The Klein biological reaction surged, and its power skyrocketed by a large margin!

Fadar, Blade Dragon · Hamikas, and the others, seeing that Elder Temxi had also obtained his spark, spoke one after another to Clan Leader Herares.

“Clan Leader, we are also very loyal to you. We have done our utmost to complete the tasks you assigned.”

“Rewards for everyone!”

Herares very generously returned the sparks to Fadar, Blade Dragon · Hamikas, and the others.

Fadar, Blade Dragon · Hamikas, and the others immediately went to meet their own sparks.

With the integration of the metal spark, the power of VI Type Lord Class · Fadar instantly surged, barely entering the Hero form.

As for Blade Dragon · Hamikas, it was even more exaggerated. Its suppressed power erupted like a fountain, the blades and sharp edges all over its body became longer and sharper, its Klein biological reaction skyrocketed explosively, and it instantly evolved into the VI Type Lord Class form.

It should be known that when Ilyinas devoured the VI Type Lord Class Buchen, it only reached the General level.

From this, one can also see how high the potential of Blade Dragon · Hamikas is.

Herares looked at its reinforced subordinates and was also very satisfied.

In fact, the reason Herares was willing to return the sparks to them was not because it had a change of heart, but purely because it had advanced to Star Lord and possessed absolutely overwhelming power.

Another aspect was that it urgently needed Emperor level combat power and high-level combat power to attack the Federation for it.

The reason it did not attack the Federation itself was because it feared Dragon String.

Although, judging from the intelligence obtained so far, there was a high probability that Dragon String had not fused with the dimension stone and was in a half-dead state.

However, Herares did not believe this intelligence at all. It could not resist the temptation of the dimension stone, let alone others, especially a formidable figure like Dragon String, who would be even less likely to give up.

Therefore, there was a high probability that Dragon String’s fusion was not going well, or that he was releasing a smoke bomb.

If it rashly attacked the Federation, it would be dangerous if Dragon String caught it off guard.

However, Herares still kept a wary eye; it returned the metal sparks to everyone, but it did not return the spark to Pamier.

Because Pamier was the only intelligence-type in the Mechanical Clan, and it had risen so high.

Among everyone, it posed the greatest threat to itself; once the spark was returned, it would not be so easy to enslave it again.

At this moment, Pamier’s electronic eyes blinked continuously, and then it lowered its posture and requested.

“Clan Leader, can you please look at the fact that if not meritorious, I have at least worked hard, and bestow the metal spark upon me?”

“Pamier, there is of course no problem if you want the spark, but I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and your recent actions have disappointed me too much. But I am always the most merciful person, so I will give you one more chance. As for whether you can grasp it, it depends on your performance in the next battle.”

Herares said to Pamier.

“Clan Leader, without the metal spark, I cannot exert my maximum power.”

Pamier explained hoarsely to Herares.

“It doesn’t matter. You just need to command; leave the rest of the combat matters to others!”

“But.”

“But what? Are you questioning my decision?”

Herares said coldly.

“I dare not.”

Pamier lowered its head and replied.

At this moment, Herares looked at everyone present and promised.

“Listen to me, everyone. As long as you fight bravely, I will not be stingy; I will bestow upon you stronger power and help you evolve!”

“Yes, we will launch an attack on the Federation right now!”

Elosatin and the others immediately expressed their stance impatiently.

Although Pamier also chimed in, it did not believe Herares’ nonsense at all.

This guy would never let them go. Don’t look at how Elosatin and the others got their sparks back and are free; in fact, they are still puppets as always.

Because Herares is staring at them from behind; if you try to escape, it will be the first to destroy you.

“No need to rush the attack. You stabilize your power first, and let the Kirami and others attack first.”

Clan Leader Herares said in a pleasant mood.

“Yes!”

Elosatin and the others replied happily.

“You must perform well and not disappoint me.”

After Clan Leader Herares finished speaking, it erupted with powerful force, ripples appeared in space, and its star-like body slowly merged into the void.

“Respectfully send off, Clan Leader.”

Elosatin and the others said respectfully.

Soon, Clan Leader Herares completely disappeared.

At this moment, Elosatin said to Pamier, incomparably smug.

“Pamier, see that? My loyalty has been rewarded. Clan Leader not only returned my metal spark but also helped me break through to the Emperor level.”

“Hmph, I don’t know who it was that wanted to run away earlier.”

Pamier replied coldly.

“You!”

Elosatin looked at Pamier with great annoyance, as if its tail had been stepped on.

“Alright, we are in the same boat now; don’t hurt our harmony because of arguing. If things get messed up and the Clan Leader becomes furious and takes back our sparks again, it will be too late to regret it.”

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Elder Temxi hurriedly stood in the middle to persuade them.

“Hmph.”

Upon hearing this, Elosatin snorted coldly and did not say anything more.

——

Starlight City · Xiguang Laboratory Private Training Area.

Click~

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

A contamination training pod opened, Su Ming exhaled slightly, then got up and walked down to check the training data.

During these days of Ilyinas’ renovation, Su Ming was not idle, but was training for anti-contamination as much as possible.

At this moment, a harsh alarm sounded, followed by a broadcast.

“Attention all personnel, Xiguang Laboratory has entered a Level 1 alert state. It is strictly forbidden for any unauthorized personnel to approach the underground first floor · No. 2 Biological Hangar.”

The surrounding staff heard the broadcast and moved one after another.

Su Ming saw this and stopped training, calling out to Dr. Lin Jie, who was walking by in a hurry, to ask.

“Dr. Lin Jie, what happened? Why did the Level 1 alert suddenly sound?”

“Lord Su Ming, Xiguang Laboratory is preparing to conduct a test of the latest Pseudo VI Generation Biological Mecha.”

“Who is the pilot?”

“It is Lord Aris.”

Lin Jie said respectfully.

“Hmm, I’ll go take a look too.”

Su Ming immediately became interested and walked towards the No. 2 hangar.

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the transparent viewing area on the second floor.

Throughout the viewing area, hundreds of biological mecha pilots wearing protective suits had gathered.

Su Ming glanced over; these pilots were basically unfamiliar faces, and he had no impression of them.

It seems that Xiguang Laboratory has expanded quite a bit over the years.

Su Ming walked to the transparent protective glass and looked at the giant biological hangar.

He saw a Pseudo VI Generation Mecha · Pale Disciple, standing a hundred meters tall, covered in pale metal armor that emitted a special metallic luster. Half of its head was metalized, while the other half retained a monster’s skull. Its ugly eyes were incomparably scarlet, its hands were as sharp as eagle claws, and three pairs of white mechanical light wings were embedded in its back. It sat on a circular metal platform, emitting a suffocatingly terrifying aura.

Numerous researchers in protective suits were conducting final checks on it.

Su Ming was also a bit surprised; he did not expect Aris’s Pseudo V Generation Mecha to have been cultivated to a Pseudo VI Generation. It was simply incredible.

No. 2 Hangar control console.

Dr. Diluka spoke seriously.

“Have all data been re-verified?”

“Verified.”

Numerous research doctors nodded and replied.

“Then let’s begin!”

Dr. Diluka directly gave the order.

A hurried notification sound rang out from the broadcast in the hangar.

“All operational personnel, please end operations immediately and evacuate the hangar!”

“Repeat, all operational personnel must evacuate the hangar immediately.”

“Pilot, prepare to board!”

Many staff members in the hangar evacuated one after another.

He saw Aris, wearing colonization armor, walk to the front of the Pale Disciple and slowly float up.

Su Ming watched with great interest.

At this moment, other pilots watching on the side said very excitedly.

“It’s starting!”

“Do you think Lord Aris will be able to pass the test smoothly? You know, this test is for Xiguang Laboratory’s strongest Pseudo VI Generation Biological Mecha. What if it goes berserk?”

“It won’t. You probably don’t know, but this biological mecha was long ago tamed by Senior Aris and has already reached the point of human-machine unity. I heard from those seniors that Lord Aris can even control this mecha in its beast form without boarding it.”

“Wow, is that powerful?”

Just as everyone was talking, the eyes of the Pseudo VI Generation Biological Mecha · Pale Disciple lit up.

Rows of data appeared on the huge virtual projection screen.

Among them, the synchronization rate soared directly to 95%, and it was still rising!

“Wow, 95% synchronization rate, that’s really amazing!”

“As expected of Lord Aris!”

The scene suddenly erupted in exclamation, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Su Ming saw this and applauded along with them, saying admiringly.

“Not bad!”

At this moment, some pilots watching on the side heard Su Ming’s admiring words, felt a bit strange, and turned their heads to look at him.

They saw Su Ming and were also taken aback, feeling he looked very familiar.

At this moment, a young pilot seemed to think of something, hurriedly raised his wristband to pull up a photo to compare, and spoke in disbelief.

“General Su Ming!”

“General Su Ming!”

The surrounding companions heard this, all reacted, immediately stood straight, and bowed respectfully in greeting.

If their feeling towards Aris was worship, then for them, Su Ming was a legendary existence, a god-like existence in Xiguang Laboratory.

Ever since they entered Xiguang Laboratory, they had been hearing various versions of Su Ming’s legendary experiences.

“Hmm.”

Su Ming nodded slightly in response and continued watching Aris perform the test.

The many newcomers on the side watched with tense expressions, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Su Ming while he watched the test.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed. Aris perfectly finished the test, opened the cockpit, and floated down.

Martha and Fumson went to meet him very happily.

“Aris, how do you feel?”

“It’s okay. Because of the compatibility, the contamination is lighter than imagined.”

Aris replied in a very good mood.

“That’s great. I wonder when it will be our turn.”

Martha and the other nodded.

“Soon, you two will be able to test as well,” Aris said to the two of them.

Of course, his words were not just comfort. Due to the all-out war with the Qilami Clan, the Federation had collected many corpses of high-level Kirami, and these corpses could all be devoured.

By utilizing the purified cells of the captured VI Type Hero Class · Adimo and the VI Type Hero Class · Kirami · Brooklyn, and injecting them, they could help them rank up and generate brand-new Pseudo VI Generation Biological Mecha.

“Understood.” Martha and the other nodded.

At this moment, Aris suddenly noticed that the trainees watching and learning around them were all whispering in one direction.

They turned their heads to look and saw that many people were gathered around an area on the second-floor observation deck.

“Let’s go take a look.” Aris led Martha and the other over.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the second-floor observation deck.

When the crowd saw Aris approaching, they stepped aside.

At this moment, Aris was very surprised when he saw Su Ming and spoke up.

“Su Ming, when did you get back?”

“A few days ago. Your biological mecha operation just now was quite good; your synchronization rate and other data were also excellent!” Su Ming smiled and patted Aris on the shoulder as he spoke.

“Are you complimenting me or putting me down? I’m still far behind you.” Aris knew his data very well; compared to Su Ming, it was like heaven and earth.

“Haha, of course I’m complimenting you.” Su Ming replied with a smile.

“I will work hard to catch up to you,” Aris said very seriously.

“Good, keep it up!” Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Understood, then I’ll go prepare for the next round of testing.” After Aris finished speaking, he turned and left coldly.

Martha and her companion saluted Su Ming and followed Aris away.

Su Ming watched the three of them walk away with a smile, then turned and left for the Central Laboratory.

He intended to find Dr. Blackes and ask how the modifications to Ilyinas were going.

A moment later, Su Ming walked out of the Central Laboratory with a puzzled expression.

Dr. Blackes was actually not in the Central Laboratory, and after asking several people, none of them knew where he had gone, nor had he left the facility.

Su Ming thought for a moment, then raised his wristband and sent a message to Dr. Blackes, asking where he was.

As it turned out, he waited for a long time without receiving any reply.

Su Ming became increasingly surprised, so he began searching everywhere for Dr. Blackes.

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the second basement level of the Xiguang Laboratory.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Dragon White and Dr. Blackes walking out of a distant corridor, and then they arrived in front of an inconspicuous wall.

Click! The wall immediately split open, revealing a secret passage.

Dragon White walked straight into the secret passage and left.

Su Ming was slightly stunned. Dragon White had actually come to the Xiguang Laboratory? One had to know that Dragon White was currently extremely busy.

Also, that corridor Dragon White and Dr. Blackes walked from, if he remembered correctly, led to the containment room where the VI Type Hero Class · Kirami · Brooklyn had once been imprisoned.

Su Ming immediately recalled Old Fei’s experience and the time he had seen General Kabunofa in the Xiguang Laboratory, causing his eyelids to twitch, and a conjecture involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Su Ming took a deep breath, calming his turbulent heart, and immediately chased after Dr. Blackes and called out.

“Dr. Blackes!”

Dr. Blackes stopped, turned to look at Su Ming, and said indifferently.

“Su Ming, why are you here?”

“I was looking for you. I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply,” Su Ming said to Dr. Blackes.

“I was busy and didn’t check my messages,” Dr. Blackes said calmly, glancing at the message on his wristband.

“I see. So, what were you busy with just now?” Su Ming asked with a chuckle.

Dr. Blackes heard Su Ming’s words and replied with a slight change in expression.

“It seems you saw everything.”

“Hehe. By the way, why did Lord Long Bai suddenly come to the Xiguang Laboratory? What did she want with you?”

“If someone else had asked that question, they would only be able to be more careful in their next life.” A strange smile flashed across Dr. Blackes’s indifferent expression.

“Uh, then I won’t ask,” Su Ming said, awkwardly changing the subject after hearing that.

At this moment, Dr. Blackes said coldly to Su Ming.

“Lord Long Bai came to inquire about the VI Type Gene Agent.”

“VI Type Gene Agent? It’s been developed so quickly?” Su Ming asked, looking at Dr. Blackes in disbelief.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to develop the V Type Gene Agent and how dangerous the injection was. Had the VI Type Gene Agent actually been developed now?

“It’s not that easy to develop. The VI Type Gene Agent that Lord Long Bai was asking about was extracted from Council Speaker Long Xian. It contains the power of the dimension stone and is extremely polluting. Although I used Star Spirit Blood and the plant you brought back to reduce the negative effects, even so, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

“I see. I understand.” Su Ming’s brows furrowed instantly. At this critical moment, for her to be so concerned about this gene agent inevitably raised an ominous premonition in him.

“Su Ming, Su Ming,” Dr. Blackes called out at this moment.

“Ah!” Su Ming immediately snapped back to reality and replied subconsciously.

Dr. Blackes looked at the somewhat distracted Su Ming and asked.

“What did you come to find me for?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to ask how the modifications to Ilyinas were going,” Su Ming replied immediately.

“It will be finished in seven days.” Dr. Blackes gave a specific timeframe.

“Good.” Su Ming nodded and replied.

—— Old Galaxy. At this moment, outside Wu Shuang Star, which was located between Di Yan Star and Black Flame Star.

The pitch-black starry sky rippled, and a massive fleet of the Empire emerged from hyperspace.

These Imperial warships sailed into the space outside Wu Shuang Star and opened rows of boarding exits.

Countless mechas flew out, rushing into the interior of Wu Shuang Star like locusts.

At this moment, rows of ejection ports on the warships opened, and drop pods were ejected one after another.

At this time, inside the Wu Shuang Base City.

A sturdy, middle-aged male gold prospector walked out of a residential building, excited, carrying various looted jewelry and ornaments in his hands.

“You can’t do this! This is robbery!” At this moment, a middle-aged woman rushed out, grabbing the gold prospector who had struck it rich, and accused him angrily.

“Get lost!” The gold prospector kicked the woman in the stomach without hesitation, knocking her to the ground.

Although the Federation had organized an evacuation, there were still some people who were reluctant to abandon their homes and refused to leave despite all persuasion; therefore, quite a few Federation citizens remained on Wu Shuang Star.

Additionally, because the Federation withdrew very hastily, many supplies were left behind, which attracted many gold prospectors who risked danger to come and get rich illegally.

At this moment, a huge roar suddenly resounded in the sky.

The gold prospector and the woman were both stunned and instinctively looked up at the sky.

Dark masses of mechas and drop pods were descending toward Wu Shuang City.

“It’s over! The Imperial Army is here! Run!” The gold prospector ran for his life in terror.

Looking at the rapidly descending Imperial Army, these gold prospectors were all pale with fear. They had spent a lot of money to hire strategic experts to analyze the situation and purchase intelligence, which indicated that the Imperial Army would not attack so quickly, which was why they had just come to scavenge and prospect for gold.

As it turned out, they hadn’t expected the Dark Star Empire to attack so quickly.

“Bastards! Those lying experts!” The gold prospector cursed through gritted teeth.

In fact, the reason the Dark Star Empire was so anxious to attack was that their home territory had been raided by the Holy Army, leading to a disruption in supplies, so they had no choice but to fight a quick war.

Bang! Bang! The Dark Star Empire’s troops forcibly entered the desolate base city.

Mechas and soldiers activated thermal imaging search modes and began a massive sweep of the entire city.

Soon they discovered the remaining personnel. Those Imperial soldiers fanatically strafed the houses, roaring excitedly.

“Come out if you don’t want to die!”

“Don’t kill us.” Some of the remaining civilians walked out of the houses tremblingly, begging for mercy.

“Take them all away!” The Dark Star Empire soldiers revealed bloodthirsty smiles and dragged them away brutally.

“Ah!” For a time, desperate screams were heard everywhere.

At this moment, a squad of soldiers excitedly rushed into the commercial shops along the street.

Looking at the silk and high-end clothing displayed on the shop counters, they shouted in extreme excitement.

“We’re rich!”

They swarmed up and began to loot frantically.

Numerous Dark Star Empire soldiers came out of the shops carrying all kinds of goods; some were even holding an automatic washing machine, with various electronic products chained to their bodies.

Some Dark Star Empire soldiers even snatched so much that they had no hands left, and finding their sidearms cumbersome, they simply threw them away.

At this moment, a captain walked in, saw his soldiers moving things, and went up to slap them on the head, saying angrily.

“What are you moving these for?”

“Boss, these things are worth a lot of money,” the soldiers said excitedly.

One had to know that the Empire focused on heavy industry, which led to underdeveloped light industry, making the prices exorbitantly expensive.

“Is that something you can just carry? Move it all onto my mecha!” The captain said to them brutally.

“Yes.” Although these soldiers were very unwilling, they still replied obediently.

At this time, in the plantation in the western district of Wu Shuang City.

A group of Imperial soldiers rushed into the plantation, and looking at the apple trees laden with fruit, their eyes turned green, and they shouted excitedly.

“Fruit!”

They rushed over like wolves, picked apple after apple, and stuffed them into their mouths frantically.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

“I’ve never eaten anything this good in my life.”

At this moment, a man standing 3 meters tall, wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor, walked in. Seeing the numerous soldiers holding piles of apples and gnawing on them, he roared ferociously.

“Stop, all of you!”

However, unfortunately, these soldiers were starving crazy, as if they hadn’t heard the order.

The big man immediately pulled out a large-caliber golden mechanical gun and fired at one of the soldiers who was gnawing frantically.

Bang! The soldier’s head exploded like a watermelon, blood mixed with white matter splattering everywhere.

The numerous soldiers at the scene were instantly intimidated, looking at the big man in terror.

“Get lost, all of you!” the big man roared violently.

The numerous soldiers reluctantly put down the apples in their hands and left.

At this moment, the big man in front stepped forward, picked up the apple the soldier hadn’t finished eating, and began to eat it in large bites.

However, before he could finish eating.

A Major General wearing third-generation exoskeleton armor, with an ugly scar on his face, walked in.

The big man was startled, immediately walked up fearfully, and offered the apple in his hand to the General, saying.

“General, please eat!”

The General snatched the apple, kicked him down directly, and cursed viciously.

“Get lost!”

At this time, in the starry sky outside Wu Shuang Star, behind the Imperial fleet.

The sterns of three Level 5 Battleships · Colossus were connected to an ultra-long alloy chain, which extended and embedded into a huge square metal cube.

Countless Imperial soldiers were operating mechas, escorting this weapon.

If one looked closely, one could see that the direction these warships were sailing was precisely toward the Di Yan Star defense line.

—— Xiguang Laboratory · Private Training Area.

Inside the pollution creature training pod, bubbles rose one after another.

Su Ming was lying inside quietly; he had already persisted for four hours and fifty-five minutes, on the verge of breaking through the five-hour mark.

This was his best record ever; compared to his first time conducting training in the pollution creature pod, it was already a qualitative leap.

However, Su Ming still felt it wasn’t enough; at this moment, he had a strong desire to become stronger in his heart.

This was something he had never had before. In the past, although he would also train to become stronger, it was more of a casual attitude.

Just when there was one minute left until five hours, a knocking sound rang out.

Su Ming opened his eyes and looked over; he saw a maintenance robot raising its arm to knock on the training pod.

Following this, the maintenance robot projected an image of Celes, who shouted.

“Su Ming, it’s bad!”

Pfft~ Su Ming was also startled and was immediately choked by the pollution fluid.

Immediately after, Su Ming interrupted his training, opened the pollution creature training pod, coughed frantically, and then said to Celes with a dark face.

“Celes, what are you doing?”

“It’s bad! The Dark Star Empire has attacked! What should we do?” Celes shouted very dramatically.

“If they attacked, they attacked. What does that have to do with you? Didn’t I tell you to repair the ship?” Su Ming replied with a headache.

“I was just bored, so I went surfing the internet,” Celes said, tilting her little head.

Just as Su Ming was about to speak to her, his wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.

“Respected General Su Ming, Di Yan Star has entered the highest level of combat readiness. Please return to the Di Yan Star defense line immediately.”

Su Ming took a look at the message, and his heart sank instantly.

He hadn’t expected to be summoned back so quickly; this was trouble, Ilyinas was still undergoing upgrades and modifications.

“What’s wrong with you?” Celes asked curiously, seeing Su Ming suddenly stop talking.

“Summons message. I need to rush back to the Di Yan Star defense line now!” Su Ming immediately hurriedly got up; he prepared to rush back to Di Yan Star first to check the situation.

“Alright!” Celes replied helplessly.

Soon, Su Ming returned to the central control room of the Fallen Light.

Li Menghan saw Su Ming come in and immediately stood up to greet him.

“Lord Su Ming, you’re back.”

“Yes, set sail immediately for the Cosmic Military Headquarters at Di Yan Star,” Su Ming said to Li Menghan.

“Yes!” Li Menghan immediately executed the order.

The Fallen Light quickly set sail and flew toward the sky.
