Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1736: 547: Rescue

Old Galaxy·Black Flame Star Defense Line.

Space rippled dramatically as the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Wind Dome, Star Destroyer·Wind Fang, Star Destroyer·Scarlet Blade, Star Destroyer·Gray Whale, alongside countless battleships and transport vessels, burst forth from subspace.

Every one of these ships displayed the Sky Dome City emblem.

Right then, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Wind Dome advanced toward Black Flame Star. It passed through the oversized ship passage and secured itself at Dock 1.

A metal walkway swiftly extended from the dock walls, linking up to Dock 1's entryway.

Clack!

The entryway swung open.

Wearing a Grand General Uniform with a grave expression, Mo Xiu strode out at the head of General Helagar, Legion Commander Fakadis, Legion Commander Luo Kui, Legion Commander Parakeent, and the rest.

Lord Rosaga rushed ahead alongside his numerous followers, bowing deeply in respect.

“Lord Mo Xiu!”

Mo Xiu ignored Lord Rosaga entirely, marching right by him alongside his group.

A hint of awkwardness crossed Lord Rosaga's face, yet he swiftly trailed after Mo Xiu with his team.

In short order, the group reached Black Flame Star's central command center.

The command center formed a perfect square layout, featuring consoles lined up at the front and a massive command dais in the center. Hovering over it was a throne draped in white tiger pelt.

Countless officers bustling in the central command center spotted Mo Xiu and his followers entering and rose to offer salutes.

“Lord Mo Xiu!”

…

Mo Xiu proceeded straight to the command dais, claimed the throne, and declared to Lord Rosaga and the others.

“From now on, I will take over all matters concerning the Black Flame Star Defense Line!”

“Yes!”

Lord Rosaga responded without delay.

“Start organizing all forces immediately.”

Mo Xiu stated in a frosty tone.

Operators across the room promptly gathered intelligence, delivering swift updates to Mo Xiu.

“Black Flame Star commands 230 million soldiers in total, including Main Fortress (Black Flame Star)*1, War Fortresses*3, Legendary Star Destroyer*1, Star Destroyers*4, Level 5 Mother Ships*15, Level 5 Battleships*42, Level 4 Battleships*213, Mechanical Army 8.23 million….”

“Relay my commands: deploy additional defensive armaments….”

Mo Xiu ordered with chilling authority.

“Yes!”

Lord Rosaga and the rest affirmed gravely.

Following Mo Xiu’s directives, the gem-like mechanical Fortress·Crystal Origin, the sunflower-form Sky-based Weapon·Light Annihilation, and other defenses were hauled into position across the defense line's zones.

Teams of enhanced Iron Heads, operating in twos, transported rectangular crates, spreading them uniformly over the defense line's sectors.

…

In the meantime, Commander Alekde seized control of the Cui Lan Star Defense Line, as Commander Soraya together with Long Chen and Long Ying headed to the Moon Star Defense Line to take charge.

The Federation Government bolstered the trio of primary defense lines with reinforcements, placing every planet on high alert, mobilizing all reserves for readiness, and summoning back all former soldiers.

Deployed manpower hit an unprecedented peak, surpassing 1 billion.

…

Right now, the Dark Star Empire's massive fleet converged on the Main Star forsaken by Woguo Country in the Danube Star Sea, just as the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country's vast armada arrived at the Tidal Kingdom's deserted territory in the Tidal Star Sea.

Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Guang Xiao.

Within the central command center.

Fanluo God Emperor occupied the command throne, a subtle smirk playing on his face as he addressed a withered elder sporting a mane of white hair, black-spotted skin, hollowed eyes, clad in a Holy Robe that radiated peril.

“Bulotto, have all the troops arrived?”

“Lord God Emperor, 80% of our 430 million forces have gathered, while the last 20% are still traveling.”

Bulotto rasped in reply.

This elder was none other than Heavenly Revelation Divine Country's top Archbishop, Bulotto.

Fanluo God Emperor mulled it over briefly before declaring,

“We can’t wait—get ready for combat!”

“Is that wise, Lord God Emperor?”

“No issue; the stragglers' vessels underperform, offering little real fighting power, suited only as mere fodder.”

“You are correct, Lord God Emperor!”

Archbishop Bulotto concurred with utmost seriousness.

Just then, Edrigge Vice Patriarch stepped into the central command center, drew near Fanluo God Emperor, and murmured something quietly into his ear.

“Haha, it's finally here!”

Fanluo God Emperor burst into laughter, gripped the armrests, rose to his feet, and headed toward an adjacent mobile platform.

Clack!

The mobile platform lowered.

Before long, Fanluo God Emperor reached Hangar 0, an enormous vacant hangar bay holding just a single round docking station.

A towering 120-meter humanoid metallic giant with dark red gemstone eyes stood upon the berth, forged completely from crimson metal adorned with complex and arcane patterns across its surface. A black light ring was inset into its chest, six pairs of red Light Wings protruded from its back, and it clutched a white lance while emanating a malevolent aura—the VI Generation Mecha·Purgatory Angel.

Fanluo drew near the Holy Angel, causing the mecha's eyes to illuminate on their own, followed by the cockpit sliding open.

The Fanluo God Emperor drifted smoothly into the cockpit.

With the cockpit sealing shut, the mecha's eyes flared brightly once more, propelling it instantly toward the exit.

Amid the starry expanse.

The Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Guang Xiao parted its entryway.

A crimson beam of light burst forth, hurtling swiftly toward the far-off stars.

Soon enough, Fanluo God Emperor spotted hordes of Chilami massing in the distant void, swarming in all directions.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he guided the mecha straight into the heart of the Chilami forces, pressing onward deeper inside.
