The assembled forces were exceptionally powerful, forming an impenetrable barrier.
…
Within the central command hub of the Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters.
Commander Soraya rose, poised to depart the command room and personally direct the engagement in defense zone No. 5.
Long Chen observed Soraya, then lowered his voice, speaking to Commander Fulaya at his side.
“Commander Fulaya, instruct your defense forces to relieve Commander Soraya’s contingent for this upcoming engagement.”
“Understood, but what is the reason for this reassignment?”
Commander Fulaya inquired, a hint of confusion in her voice.
“Soraya’s troops are capable fighters, yet they should not be placed in such a precarious position. Humans are susceptible to emotions; even in victory, the battle's aftermath could inflict deep psychological wounds.”
Long Chen offered his explanation to Commander Fulaya.
Fulaya nodded in understanding, then rose and moved to intercept Soraya, who was on the verge of departure.
“Wait a moment!”
“What is it?”
Soraya turned to Fulaya, her expression solemn.
“Soraya, allow me to handle this. It would be more beneficial for both you and the soldiers on the front lines.”
Fulaya stated calmly.
Soraya fell silent upon hearing this, a subtle tremor passing over her aged features before she replied.
“Very well.”
…
The directives were swiftly issued, and Commander Fulaya’s forces began their rapid mobilization.
A squadron of Mecha Formation approached Mia and her group, opening a communication channel.
“General Mia, Commander Fulaya has ordered our detachment to assume defensive duties. We will engage in the initial phase of combat.”
“Why the sudden change in defensive assignments?”
Mia expressed her surprise, considering the battle was imminent.
“The specifics are unclear.”
The accompanying general responded with a deep tone.
“Understood!”
Mia considered the situation for a moment, a suspicion dawning upon her, and then directed her subordinates to withdraw from the defensive perimeter.
…
Inside the central control room of the Legendary Level Star Destroyer Guang Xiao.
Emperor Fanluo occupied the command chair, his face alight with anticipation as he observed the holographic display before him.
The image clearly depicted Commander Misya leading her fleet, on the cusp of entering the engagement range of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line.
At this juncture, Archbishop Bulotto voiced his concern.
“Lord Fanluo, are we certain this course of action is prudent?”
“What could possibly go awry? Those driven by avarice must be enticed with grand rewards; the apathetic require a firm hand and vigilant oversight!”
Emperor Fanluo chuckled heartily.
“Your profound wisdom, Lord Fanluo God Emperor.”
Archbishop Bulotto felt a shiver trace his spine, acutely aware of Emperor Fanluo’s masterful manipulation of human nature, his unparalleled ability to control individuals.
Emperor Fanluo let out a soft chuckle, his gaze fixed upon the preceding optical display.
In the vast expanse of the cosmos.
Commander Misya’s fleet advanced with unwavering resolve.
Within the control center of the Star Destroyer Praise Light.
The operators maintained an extreme level of tension, relaying continuous updates.
“Star Destroyer Praise Light Main Cannon charged, all 1-100W firing ports are armed!”
“Star Destroyer Sky Trace Main Cannon charged, all 1-100W firing ports are armed!”
…
“120 seconds until contact!”
…
Commander Misya rose from her command seat, addressing the multitude of virtual avatars connected on the operational screen with profound seriousness.
“I am aware of the fervor burning within each of you, but in these times, we have no alternative. For the sake of our kin, we must fight with all our might!”
“Fight to the end!”
The assembled voices responded in unison, their tones resonating with determination.
As the countdown reached zero, Commander Misya raised her hand, issuing the decisive order.
“Engage!”
The primary cannons of the Star Destroyer Praise Light, Star Destroyer Sky Trace, and numerous other vessels unleashed their formidable power, a dazzling spectacle as countless firing ports opened.
Whoosh!
Two beams crackling with destructive energy, complemented by a torrent of smaller projectiles and missiles, surged like an overwhelming tide toward the Nether Moon Star Defense Line.
Simultaneously, within the Nether Moon Star Defense Line, immense, geometrically shaped shields rapidly maneuvered, deploying formidable energy barriers.
Boom!
A sequence of brilliant explosions, akin to burgeoning suns, erupted, accompanied by a cascade of dazzling fireworks.
The Guardian Shields were obliterated, and even the defensive installations situated behind them sustained significant damage.
Commander Misya’s initial assault incorporated a substantial deployment of nuclear ordnance.
At this moment, the Nether Moon Star Defense Line’s Crystal Origin Fortresses, Light Annihilation weaponry, and defensive vessels unleashed their full offensive capabilities!
Whoosh!
Beams and missiles converged like a tempest of destruction, raining down upon Misya’s fleet.
Boom!
An innumerable array of radiant explosions and brilliant flares illuminated the void, engulfing both ships and Mecha.
Instantly, the darkness of space was rendered as bright as day.
As the fierce engagement subsided, Misya’s fleet bore the brunt of the assault, with vessels sustaining damage and the energy shields of two star destroyers flickering precariously.
At this critical juncture, Limi and the Mecha Formation, displaying absolute fearlessness, charged directly towards the defense line.
The armaments of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line unleashed a relentless barrage of fire!
A dense concentration of beams and missiles pounded Limi and his comrades, wave after wave.
Boom!
The Mechas, in their determined advance, detonated spectacularly, reminiscent of fireworks.
“Argh!”
A sharp cry of agony echoed relentlessly through the communication channel.
Limi's eyes narrowed, the Divine Grace Mecha at full throttle, transforming into a white streak of light as it sliced through beam barriers, heading directly for the defense line.
"Quick, concentrate fire and stop her!"
Eighth Corps Commander Xiluo immediately issued the order.
Swoosh!
Countless beams and missiles enveloped Limi.
Limi's pupils contracted. With a Light Speed Fold Flash, she vanished at the moment of impact, reappearing near the defense line and opening her abdomen's launch port.
Swoosh!
An anti-matter missile was launched!
The anti-matter missile flew directly into defense zone number 5 of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line.
The defender on duty suddenly saw his screen flicker, and a terrifying, fatal light flashed past. The defense zone No. 5 suddenly exploded with overwhelming power, completely disintegrating into nothingness.
Other defense zones were shocked by the sight.
"What the hell?!"
"An anti-matter missile!"
"It's Limi!"
"That lunatic!"
"I knew she wouldn't let us off easily!"
"Report this to the higher-ups immediately!"
"The Nether Moon Star Defense Line has been breached!"
"Notify Sector Command!"
At this moment, the command center was in utter chaos.
Within the Divine Grace Mecha, Limi was focused.
She watched as the defense line was torn open, and then quickly closed back up.
"Okay, let's go!"
She skillfully maneuvered the Divine Grace Mecha, squeezing through the gap.
"Limi, you absolute psycho!"
The commander of the Eighth Corps, Xiluo, was furious. "All ships, prepare to move out! We need to intercept her and destroy her!"
A squad of heavily armed battleships immediately moved out.
"These guys are really persistent," Limi muttered.
She activated the Divine Grace Mecha's combat system.
A wave of terrifying energy rapidly surged.
In the command room, everyone watched Limi's trajectory.
She was heading straight for the planet's capital!
"Sector Command, Limi has breached the defense line," Xiluo reported, his voice grim.
"Understood. We will dispatch the Fourth Fleet to intercept and eliminate her," a voice replied from the comms.
"She’s heading for the capital! If she reaches it, the consequences will be dire!"
"Don't worry, the Fourth Fleet is already on its way."
At this moment, a new alert flashed on the screen.
"Commander! A new fleet has appeared!"
"Who?" Xiluo demanded.
"Unknown fleet..."
"What?"
"This fleet... it's moving at an extremely high speed, and it's heading directly towards Limi!"
Xiluo stared at the screen, his eyes wide with disbelief.
This fleet was unknown, but its speed was astonishing.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the command center.
"The Azure Dragons!"
"The Azure Dragons have arrived!"
Xiluo gasped.
The Azure Dragons were a legendary fleet, known for their overwhelming power.
"They're here to stop Limi?"
"It seems so."
"But why?"
"I don't know."
Inside the Divine Grace Mecha, Limi felt a sudden chill.
She looked ahead and saw a fleet of ships appearing out of nowhere.
They were sleek, powerful warships, exuding an aura of conquest.
"The Azure Dragons..." Limi whispered.
She recognized them immediately.
"So, you've finally decided to show yourselves," she said, a grim smile on her face.
The Azure Dragons formed a battle formation, their cannons aimed directly at Limi.
"Limi, surrender now!" a voice boomed from the lead ship.
"You can't escape!"
Limi scoffed.
"Surrender? You must be joking!" she retorted.
She activated the Divine Grace Mecha's ultimate weapon.
"Let's see if you can handle this!"
A blinding beam of energy shot out from the Mecha, striking the lead Azure Dragon ship.
The ship exploded in a fiery inferno.
"What?!"
"She destroyed the lead ship!"
"Impossible!"
The Azure Dragons were stunned.
They had underestimated Limi.
"Open fire!" Limi commanded.
The Divine Grace Mecha unleashed a barrage of anti-matter missiles.
The Azure Dragon fleet was caught off guard.
Ship after ship was destroyed, their hulls twisting and breaking apart.
Chaos erupted within the Azure Dragon ranks.
"Retreat!"
"We must retreat!"
The Azure Dragons turned and fled, their once formidable fleet in disarray.
Limi watched them go, a triumphant grin on her face.
"Hah! Cowards!"
She then turned the Divine Grace Mecha towards the planet's capital.
"Now, for the main event!"
Her eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.
The fate of the Nether Moon Star was about to change.
