Light Fortress Chapter 1944 - 21: Shattered Throat

"After tonight, the Heavenly Sheath weapon will commence its strike officially."

The Initial floated in the void.

Gu Shen lay before the porthole, watching the darkness ahead with a complex expression.

He was still a "baby," unable to reach the minimum height of the porthole, but he had grown a bit in the temporal turbulence, able to utilize a portion of his spiritual power, which supported his body, keeping him afloat...

The Heavenly Sheath strike plan was a conclusive proposal put forth by Gu Nanfeng.

This plan sounded very "ruthless."

But on the contrary, it was the most effective and quickest means for all of humanity against the war.

Gu Shen was not part of that meeting; if he were...

Perhaps the person who proposed the Heavenly Sheath strike wouldn’t have been Gu Nanfeng, but him.

He cared even less about his reputation than Gu Nanfeng.

He was already the Netherworld King, a traitor to the Ancient Literature Society, an unforgivable fugitive.

All the negative impacts brought by the Heavenly Sheath strike, to Gu Shen...

Were nothing, as long as it could end the war with the Deep Sea, then everything was worth it.

But after the Heavenly Sheath strike, is it the end?

Gu Shen did not believe so.

He had initially relied on the Traveller’s abilities to alleviate the negative effects brought by the Heavenly Sheath fragments.

If the Deep Sea could also achieve such a thing.

Then... this strike would just be the beginning of the war.

The Heavenly Sheath strike could only bring a certain advantage to the Three-Continent Alliance, insufficient to directly end it all.

Gu Shen did not know what exact relationship the Deep Sea currently had with the Traveller Tribe, and the Silver Fox General’s whereabouts remained unknown, but according to his previous speculations, the Deep Sea could complete the eleventh upgrade under Qinglong’s limitations relying on... it must be the spiritual power beyond the Five Continents.

This power could only possibly be provided by the Traveller Tribe.

"You humans really are crazy when it comes to killing each other."

Alf floated beside Gu Shen, stating emotionally: "Even back in those days, the Heavenly Sheath weapon was an extremely terrifying attack method..."

The Starship Civilization was very united and powerful too.

But the corrosive nature of the Heavenly Sheath fragments on Extraordinary Power was unprecedented.

To resist the Heavenly Sheath weapon, one must at least be at the fourth tier, possessing a complete external domain, to ensure the body is not hit.

Facing such stringent defense conditions, even the Starship Civilization would have a headache.

Alf chuckled: "I have to say... the guy who researched this thing is really a genius."

"Tomb Ghost... truly is a genius."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and smiled as well.

After the last Chanyi City incident ended, Tomb Ghost was sent to the Tundra to recuperate; his spirit had suffered severe trauma, often in a state of sleep and Dream.

Just as Gu Shen and Alf were conversing.

A slight tremor spread throughout the cabin.

"Thud!"

Gu Shen froze for a second... The Initial, this level of giant ship, sailing in the Old World, was as smooth as walking on flat ground; even encountering some small Source Material Storms would pose no trouble, but at this moment, an obvious shockwave swept over, hitting the Divine Miracle Silver outer hull with a dull sound.

"What is this?"

He looked at the distant void outside the porthole, suddenly seeing a flash of white.

That fleck of white, like snow, tore open the dark void, as if tearing open a portal...

No.

What it tore open was indeed a portal.

The Old World void contained many portals; passing through one could teleport thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, or even further.

This bleak white, like a meteor, streaked across the sky, flying rapidly towards the Northern Border.

In an instant, it erupted and burned, exploding like fireworks, expanding hundreds of times, thousands of times per second.

"This is... a Source Material Storm! A Super Giant Source Material Storm!"

Alf’s tone became sharp at this moment, and it instantly activated the Initial’s defense system, even though that snowy meteor wasn’t aimed at the Initial at all, and was extremely far away... yet at this moment, it still made the highest level of defense!

Rumble!

A massive Source Material Shield enveloped the Initial.

Across nearly a thousand miles, the meteor flashed away, seemingly crashing into something, the dark void illuminated brilliantly at that moment, countless streams of light shooting in all directions, a few seconds later "aftershocks" arrived, and the Initial was engulfed in severe turbulence!

Gu Shen continued to cling tightly to the porthole position.

He stared intently at the location where the meteor struck.

In the instant of countless white light splendidly blooming, he saw the scene clearly there...

It was the most prominent fortress at the Northern Border.

The throat of humanity’s fate.

Also where he first executed the mission beyond the frontier.

Gu Castle.

...

...

One minute before the Super Giant Source Material Storm descended.

Gu Castle Fortress, the long night was about to end, dawn had yet to arrive, and the cold wind was as sharp as a knife.

Zou Hai walked alone on the snow, treading deeply and shallowly.

He held an electronic chain in his hand, taut now, as the labrador evil dog faced the snow "running," but due to Zou Hai’s firm grip on the chain, it moved very slowly.

"I know you miss Lord Lin Lin, but the Lord went to Central City."

Zou Hai softly comforted: "It might be a long time before returning."

He held a very small ring seal in his hand, a "Spiritual Link item" left by Lin Lin before departing, employing the Ancient Literature Society’s Array Box Technology here, carrying a small Spiritual Link network for transmitting messages, if this were a year ago, this ring would be quite the redundancy, because there was no more convenient or quicker transmission tool than the Deep Sea.
