Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1821 - 886: When the Dust Settles (Part 2)

The exact cause for holding back until this point stems directly from this [Sleeve Universe Realm] part.

This [Sleeve Universe Realm] got picked up by chance by a captain of an Annihilation Starship from the Holy Hall Federation some 130,000 years back. Because of its somewhat underwhelming traits, along with its shockingly long recharge period, the part ended up getting swapped to the Aclemon Family.

Through the ages, the Four Great Empires deployed it on a few occasions, yet its impact remained quite limited.

Naturally, that doesn't imply the part lacks any real value. Right now, at least, it acts as the ultimate hidden ace for the Torch Civilization amid the fight in Human Emperor City.

Without the timely intervention of Song Chi and Ying Yi, Ferdinand would've triggered this part long ago.

In truth, upon activation, more than eighty percent of the remaining Torch Army up there would get sucked straight into this [Sleeve Universe Realm]. Then, the Heavenly Light could dash forward into the Chaos Transmission Platform, heading right back to the Torch Domain.

Even though that would involve forfeiting the Chaos Divine Land—the prime hub for top-tier resources—and forcing a big chunk of the Torch Civilization's forces to defend the Chaos Transmission Platform's outlet in the Torch Domain against any retaliation from the top clans in the Heavenly Ape Star Realm, it's still way preferable to letting the Torch's elite fighters drop entirely in the Chaos Divine Land, severing the civilization's core a thousandfold worse.

Right at that moment, with the outer conflict heating up to an intense frenzy, Ferdinand's gaze sharpened in an instant.

Swish!

Right then, a rushing noise erupted just behind him. Upon catching it, Ferdinand clenched his jaw and safely detached the [Sleeve Universe Realm].

At once, the area surrounding the Heavenly Light warped wildly, as a Blink Device aboard the vessel kicked in.

Once the Heavenly Light blinked out of existence, the rushing noise from behind gradually took shape, revealing itself as Wilson Aclemon's main flagship.

Wilson caught no glimpse of the Heavenly Light. From his perspective, only the multicolored [Sleeve Universe Realm] part hung silently in place.

Using the frame of the superdimensional mothership, it could boost this [Sleeve Universe Realm] to Level 119 at best, which would surely weaken the part's power a lot. Still, Ferdinand had little option right now.

Following the earlier upgrade's success, he'd quietly called forth a warship avatar, venturing beyond the city walls to track the Alien Race Alliance Army's actions, only to run into a huge super chaos storm by surprise, and even now, the warship avatar part's recharge hadn't finished.

...

Beneath the celestial dome, it looked like the second Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect was on the verge of storming the zone held by the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant, injecting yet more chaos into the fray.

Yet right as the second Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect neared breaking past barriers and slamming hard into the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant's domain—

An abrupt twist unfolded.

Buzz!

A faint but razor-sharp ripple of spatial distortion burst forth precisely along the path of its advance.

Reality bent like waves on water, and moments later, a vessel radiating sacred glow, its exterior etched with enigmatic spatial rule symbols, materialized from nowhere.

It turned out to be Ferdinand's [Heavenly Light]!

The arrival's precision in time and spot was flawless, slicing right into the peak of the Primordial Emperor Insect's rush where turning was toughest.

"Heavenly Light Rule Realm!"

"Holy Light Angel Eternal Guardian!"

From deep inside the vessel, Ferdinand's icy command resounded, as rule energies swirled around the [Heavenly Light], finally forming a governing domain that cloaked the whole craft.

Differing from the Shenxia Jiuli Ship's [Martial Arts Dynasty Realm] or the Profound Yellow Red Yu's [Chi Yu Divine Realm], this governing domain didn't come from installed parts but embodied the essence of a genuine mythical immortal ship's might.

Just as Star-Annihilating Starships, Star River Ships, and superdimensional motherships naturally produce law force fields, superdimensional zones, and the like, the [Rule Realm] here represents a fresh capability unlocked by the mythical immortal ship.

Sure enough, it meshes well with those unique rule-world parts; they can layer atop each other. Back when the Shenxia Jiuli Ship and Profound Yellow Red Yu warship avatars struck the alien outpost, the rule domains they ignited came from such layering. Without that, the direct onslaught of the Eleventh Rank Rule World alone wouldn't have let them pull off the third explosion.

On top of that, a spectral image of a Thirty-Six-winged Holy Angel swiftly formed. Even with this double shield, Ferdinand felt uneasy and triggered the vessel's armor active shield mode.

Everything unfolded in a mere heartbeat.

Boom!!!

The unsuspecting Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect smashed straight into the Heavenly Light's stacked defenses with horrifying momentum.

A star-shattering clash exploded outward, reality fracturing like brittle panes, weaving a huge network of rifts that extended endlessly.

The [Heavenly Light] shook fiercely, its sacred glow fading sharply overhead, while the governing domain broke apart from the overwhelming strain.

Cracks spread quickly across the Heavenly Light's outer plating too.

Regardless of the Heavenly Light's battered condition, it managed to halt the head-on strike from this Eleventh Rank Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect, grinding its wild lunge to a stop.

Though the clash lasted only seconds, on a field this grand, it proved more than enough.

"Now is the time!"

Within the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant, Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and Ying Yi reacted in perfect unison.

Grasping the split-second chance, the six limbs of the Mecha Giant gripped their Miracle Weapons, which blazed with unmatched splendor, unleashing chaotic floods that swallowed the wounded Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect ahead whole.

"Hiss——!!!"

A piercing cry of agony and defiance rang out, as the enormous form of the Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect writhed and broke down wildly amid the chaotic deluge, its tough shell and faux-energy innards brutally smashed and erased by the nightmarish blend of triple powers.

The demise of yet another Eleventh Rank Mythical Creature stirred eerie omens anew, laws lamenting as energy surges raged everywhere.

The second Eleventh Rank legend, brought low!

Nearly at the same instant, the other Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect facing Ferdinand's [Heavenly Light] saw its partner's end and sensed the chilling stare from the overpowering Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant, fresh from the takedown, fixating on it. Its forward surge halted abruptly, a spark of terror flashing in its huge multifaceted eyes.

Truth be told, this fear wasn't the insect's alone, but echoed from the Corrosive Primordial Mother Queen hidden far up in the heavens, who had stayed concealed amid endless bug hordes, pulling strings on the two Eleventh Rank Corrosive Emperor Insects, several Tenth Rank Corrosive Emperor Insects, and hordes of standard Corrosive Insect Swarm.

Likely from its inexperience in fights, this Corrosive Mother Queen hadn't joined the fray personally, and the dread in its eyes hinted at the pivotal turn the battle was taking right then.

Having shelled out dearly, the Torch Civilization at last seized control in the top-tier forces.

"You’re next!"

As though on purpose, the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant under Jiang Yuan and the rest pivoted deliberately, its disorderly mechanical gaze pinning the final unharmed Eleventh Rank Corrosive Primordial Emperor Insect, radiating immense murderous aura.

Seeing this, the already wavering Corrosive Primordial Mother Queen lost its cool entirely. Driven by its mighty sovereign command, the endless Corrosive Insect Swarm blanketing Human Emperor City's skies dispersed like an ebbing wave, vanishing rapidly with the surviving Eleventh Rank Corrosive Emperor Insect toward the far-off turbulent heavens.

The Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant held back from chasing, since avoiding pursuit was their key aim from the start.

Chasing after these bottomless swarms for real could spell unknown havoc and casualties for Human Emperor City, whose barriers stood broken.

Meanwhile, as the Corrosive Insect Swarm pulled away, the Five Races United Army—already hammered hard in the prior outpost assault—lay nearly wiped out.

Now, the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant set its sights on the new mark: the Eleventh Rank Chaos Giant Elephant.
