Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1764 - 552: Return Voyage (3)

However, the detention chamber was completely vacant; the Deputy Clan Leader of Brooklyn had already been moved to another location.

At this juncture, Dr. Blakes proceeded to the deepest section of the detention room, extending a hand to tap on the stone wall multiple times.

Rumble~

With a profound tremor, a fissure appeared in the stone wall, revealing an opening.

Upon reaching their destination, they observed Admiral Kabunofa, drowsily nodding off while leaning against a stone portal.

At this moment, Admiral Kabunofa lifted his head, casting his gaze upon Dr. Blakes and Long Bai, before uttering with deference:

"President Dragon White."

"Hmm, unveil the passage," Long Bai commanded with a measured tone.

"Understood!"

Admiral Kabunofa promptly swung open the stone door.

Long Bai ushered Blakes inside, venturing into the dimly illuminated circular chamber.

The corporeal form of President Dragon String, the Divine Artifact, and the entirety of the palace had been surreptitiously transported from Starshine Fortress to the Xi Guang Laboratory—a transfer known only to a select few.

Long Bai advanced to the front of the icy sarcophagus, his gaze fixed upon Dragon String within, his amethyst eyes growing increasingly somber.

Blakes remained stationed silently at his side.

Several minutes elapsed before Long Bai inquired with chilling finality:

"Have all arrangements been finalized?"

"Mm, everything is in readiness. Nevertheless, the refinement of the Sixth Generation Divine Prohibition Potion remains somewhat suboptimal. Although the Star Spirit Blood and the flora that Su Ming procured can mitigate adverse reactions, and I have incorporated them, it amounts to but a pittance. However, I have already dispatched Su Ming to secure additional components, though time is likely insufficient."

Blakes reached out, retrieving a dark vial of Genetic Potion from beside the ice coffin. Through the specialized crystal containment, a writhing mass of black substance could be discerned.

"No matter. Should the defensive perimeter hold, this concoction will be unnecessary. Yet, if circumstances devolve into the direst possibilities, we shall have no recourse but to embrace the peril."

Long Bai declared icily, his eyes fixed on the ebony Genetic Potion.

This particular Genetic Potion had been derived from the very essence of President Dragon String.

"I comprehend."

Blakes acknowledged with a nod.

----------------------------------------

The Cui Lan Star Defense Line.

A vast, menacing swarm of Mechanical Flying Insects and Mechanical Octopuses descended upon Defense Zone 3, resembling a plague of locusts.

Within Defense Zone 3, an imposing array of fortresses, Light Annihilators, formidable Battleships, towering Mechas, and numerous manually repositioned meteorites were densely clustered.

Upon these meteorites, a variety of Fixed Launching Racks and potent Light Cannons had been ingeniously mounted.

Whoosh whoosh!

A relentless barrage of missiles and energy beams rained down, akin to a cataclysmic meteor shower.

Rumble!

Merged with incessant explosions, countless mechanical entities were violently pulverized.

At this moment, razor-sharp projectile weapons pierced through the fiery explosions, impacting defense fortresses, vessels, and mechas, aggressively eroding their surface armor and attempting to breach weapon systems.

"Ah!"

...

This time, agonized shrieks resounded continuously through the communication network.

"Damnation, it’s the Sharp Arrows! Everyone, exercise extreme caution to evade and neutralize them!"

Admiral Alifei commanded with palpable fury.

"Acknowledged!"

A unified chorus of responses echoed back.

At this critical juncture, one by one, Spiritual Mechanisms emerged from the deceptively innocuous Sharp Arrows, endeavoring to seize control of the colossal Crystal Origin Fortresses.

Simultaneously, meticulously concealed electronic pulse bombs embedded in the surface of the Crystal Origin Fortresses detonated.

Crackle!

Electric blue arcs surged outwards.

In an instant, the Spiritual Mechanisms were struck and rendered immobile.

"Swiftly, there are Spiritual Mechanisms! Eliminate them!"

...

Urgent voices clamored incessantly within the communication channel.

Mecha units scrambled to the scene, unleashing volleys of fire upon the intruding Spiritual Mechanisms.

Whoosh whoosh!

In a fleeting moment, all the Spiritual Mechanisms were annihilated.

...

At this point, the VI-type Lord Level entity, the Sky Splitting Beast known as Fadale, observed the failure of the latest assault and erupted in immense rage. Immediately, it unfurled its wings, transforming into a stream of black light, and plummeted towards the 3rd defense zone with ferocious intensity, creating violent ruptures in its wake.

Instantly, all scanning devices operated by the defense personnel of the 3rd defense zone blared with urgent red alerts.

"Warning: VI-type Lord Level entity, the Sky Splitting Beast, Fadale, has been detected."

"Warning: Target is approaching at high velocity."

...

"This is most unfavorable!"

"Quickly, intercept it!"

...

Amidst frantic exhortations, the elite Iron Guards, Green Wings, and Shadow Slayers charged forward with unyielding bravery, aiming to impede Fadale's advance.

Crunch!

The mechas that dared to intercept were effortlessly bisected as if mere paper.

Rumble~

A series of explosive fireworks erupted.

"Fools!"

Fadale derided with contemptuous sneering.

At that precise instant, a streak of black light hurtled from a distant point, colliding head-on with Fadale, generating a colossal impact wave that swept across the area.

Boom~

A tremendous collision reverberated through the surroundings.

Fadale, not only halted but sent reeling backward, swiftly steadied its immense form. Angrily, it turned its gaze towards the newcomer.

A towering, humanoid figure, one hundred twenty meters tall and forged entirely from gleaming white metal, manifested with a distinctive radiance. A golden circle was emblazoned upon its chest, and in its formidable claws, it wielded twin golden blades. Three pairs of luminous golden wings sprouted from its back, projecting an aura that sent shivers down the spine—an Original Series Mecha, the VI Generation Standard Mecha·White Night, had arrived.

"Fadale, we finally meet again."

Sigurd's voice was a chilling monotone.

"So it was you. You managed to escape that encounter. I never expected you would have the audacity to show yourself before me once more," Fadale scoffed.

"Hmph, as I declared before, the moment I upgraded my mecha, your life would be the first I would claim. Prepare yourself for oblivion!"

Sigurd declared with utter ruthlessness.

"Presumptuous," Fadale retorted. Suddenly, its maw gaped open, unleashing a potent energy beam that surged directly towards Sigurd.

In that critical instant, Sigurd, piloting the White Night, artfully evaded the onslaught. He then pursued the beam's trajectory, heading straight for Fadale, raising the blade in his grasp for a ferocious downward slash.

Fadale raised its metallic scorpion claws to intercept the blow.
