Chapter 1766: Chapter 552: Return Voyage_5
A terrifying beam of lightning suddenly ripped through the vast expanse of stars, instantly clashing with the Blade of Death.
Mo Xiu, piloting the Thunder Angel, emerged as a cataclysmic impact swept across the celestial expanse. The image then violently shook before vanishing.
An avalanche of messages flooded the screen.
“Lord Mo Xiu is truly magnificent!”
“Hmph, the Emperor hasn't even made a move, and they've already revealed the Thunder Angel. Sky Dome City is nothing special.”
“Nonsense! Even if the Emperor were to intervene, he wouldn't stand a chance against Lord Mo Xiu.”
…
Upon witnessing this, Su Ming drew a deep breath and deactivated the post.
At this juncture, Timi inquired with utmost respect.
“Lord Su Ming, to which defense line shall we proceed to offer support?”
“Indeed! Boss, where are we headed to render aid?”
Ankaga and the others likewise turned their attention to Su Ming, seeking his direction.
“The Black Flame Star Defense Line remains stable; the forces from Sky Dome City are engaged in a valiant struggle, and the situation should not escalate significantly. The sole uncertainty lies in the Emperor's inaction, but I have full confidence that Mo Xiu and his allies have made adequate preparations! As for the Cui Lan Star Defense Line, it is, to be frank, the most challenging of the three major fronts. However, with Commander Alekde, General Gabres, and General Sigurd present, the difficulties should be manageable. Therefore, our destination will be the Nether Moon Star Defense Line!”
Su Ming's expression flickered momentarily before he declared his decision.
“Understood.”
Timi and the others promptly acknowledged his command.

—————————————–
Nether Moon Star Defense Line.
Myriad octopus-ghouls known as Chilanmi swarmed the defensive zone 5, their assault akin to an unending tide.
Whoosh whoosh!
Missiles and energy beams crisscrossed the sky, descending relentlessly.
Rumble~
The entire starscape erupted in a spectacular, albeit deadly, display of fireworks.
Numerous Chilami were annihilated.
Mia, commanding the Red Angel, plunged into the fray like a harbinger of death towards an IV-type Chilami, unleashing her dual super particle light blades.
Crack!
The IV-type Chilami was cleanly bisected.
Yet, this moment of triumph lasted scarcely three seconds.
With a deafening bang!
The Red Angel was immediately struck by a potent Kais Beam.
Mia whirled around, her gaze filled with indignation.
She spotted several III-type Chilami advancing rapidly.
Without hesitation, she directed her mecha to charge its energy reserves and unleash a devastating sweeping attack.
Rumble~
Massive swarms of Chilami were eradicated.
At this instant, urgent voices clamored through the public communication channel.
“Lady Mia, the enemy forces are overwhelming.”
“Acknowledged. Instruct the defensive weaponry to intensify their firepower and purge them!”
Mia immediately relayed the order.
Subsequently, clusters of Light Annihilation weapons illuminated the sector, and numerous fortresses revealed their launch bays.
Whoosh whoosh!
Streams of energy and volleys of missiles rained down from above.
These unleashed barrages washed over the black Chilami assault force, effectively halting their offensive advance.
In the wake of the Chilami army's ranks, a colossal figure loomed.
Standing over a hundred meters tall, a Chilami with the visage of a demon, a humanoid frame, and chitinous plating adorned with grotesque patterns, its clawed hands gleamed with malevolent intent. Three pairs of fleshy wings sprouted from its back. Beside it floated another, a thousand meters in stature, its body a mass of bulbous, seaweed-like flesh, a contorted human face at its center, and a multitude of dangling tentacles. These two monstrous entities surveyed the unfolding battle.
These were, in fact, VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Elder Milk and VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Elder Adimo.
“The Federation's defense line is proving remarkably resilient; despite our prolonged assault, we have yet to breach a single opening,”
Adimo remarked in a low tone to Milk.
“Patience, there is no need for haste!”
Milk responded with disinterest.
“Is this truly advisable? We are tasked with leading the primary assault, yet we find ourselves merely observing.”
Adimo questioned with a hint of hesitation.
“What is the issue with that? Should we succeed in breaching the Federation's defenses without the Clan Leader's direct involvement, would it not attract the attention of the Dragon String Council President? Such scrutiny would undoubtedly imperil our lives. Although Vice Clan Leader Komih has attained Emperor Level, he is insignificant before the Dragon String Council President. Recall, the Dragon String Council President once confronted and vanquished two Emperor Level Clan Leaders single-handedly!”
Milk retorted with a chilling smil
“That logic holds, but was it not stated that the Dragon String Council President was already deceased, or on the verge of it?”
“If such a scenario were indeed true, why has our Clan Leader refrained from entering Federation territory all these years?”
“I comprehend.”
Adimo nodded in understanding.
At that moment, VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Remwaco arrived, fixing Milk with a challenging grin.
“What are you two doing dawdling here instead of engaging in combat?”
“We are assessing the overall battle situation, awaiting an opportune moment to strike,”
Milk explained to Remwaco.
“You had best be truthful. If you jeopardize Lord Komih's objectives, you will face severe repercussions,”
Remwaco stated coldly.
“Understood. Perhaps you should proceed first?”
Milk suggested to Remwaco.
“Hmph!”
Without another word spoken, Remwaco became a terrifying streak of light, hurtling directly towards the fifth zone of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line.
…
The central control room of the Legendary Level Star Destroyer, Guang Xiao.
Emperor Fanluo watched the battle visuals unfold before him, a look of interest on his face.
Bulotto spoke in a hushed tone.
“Lord Emperor Fanluo, after all this time, these Chilami have been attacking for so long without breaching even a single opening, and their main force remains stationary. It appears they harbor different intentions!”
“Do you think I wouldn’t know? They are waiting for other defense lines to falter first, unwilling to be the ones to take the initial risk.”
“What you say is indeed true, Lord Emperor, but could there be an issue with such a delay?”
“There’s no need to rush; let it take its course. I have ample time.”
Emperor Fanluo stated with a slight smile.
The very reason he had allied with the Chilami Clan was to leverage them, and thus, he would not make his move at this juncture.
At that precise moment, the scanning device suddenly highlighted a colossal gray anomaly.
A notification appeared on screen.
“Alert: VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Remwaco detected.”
The operator reported with palpable excitement.
“Lord Emperor Fanluo, the VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Remwaco has entered the battlefield and is rapidly approaching defensive line zone five.”
“Excellent.”
A brilliant smile spread across Emperor Fanluo’s face.
