Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1767 - 553: Clash

"The Chilami Clan, finally willing to make a move."

Bulotto Archbishop stated solemnly to the Fanluo God Emperor.

"Haha, the show is about to begin."

The Fanluo God Emperor spoke with obvious delight.

At this significant moment, an urgent communication suddenly surfaced.

The operator, upon witnessing it, was momentarily startled before reporting to the Fanluo God Emperor.

"Lord God Emperor, an emergency communication request has been received from Elder Gedemono."

"Connect it, immediately."

The Fanluo God Emperor commanded with a smile upon hearing his subordinate's words.

"Yes, sir!"

The operator responded without delay.

At this very instant, Elder Gedemono's virtual image materialized.

"Gedemono, what is the matter?"

The Fanluo God Emperor inquired cheerfully.

"Lord Fanluo God Emperor, I bring grave tidings! Vice Archbishop Dusaka has been apprehended by the Old King’s Army. Captain Fei Alu of the Garrison, Holy Temple Knight Doran, and others, including Froco and Misak, have all perished in battle! The Ancania Planetary Sea is now in chaos..."

Elder Gedemono reported the devastating news to the Fanluo God Emperor.

Upon absorbing Gedemono's report, the Fanluo God Emperor's smile vanished, replaced by a rare display of fury. His icy gaze caused Elder Gedemono to tremble involuntarily.

Meanwhile, Bulotto Archbishop and Asya, among others present, reacted with shock, their voices laced with disbelief.

"How could this possibly happen? How could the Old King’s Army possess the strength to capture Dusaka and the others simultaneously? And wasn’t Emkain already captured?"

"What precisely is unfolding?"

The Fanluo God Emperor demanded, his voice like chilling steel.

He had allocated substantial forces under Dusaka's command to secure the rear production zones. A Fake VI Generation Mecha, the Light Judge, was even stationed there, yet despite these measures, calamity had struck.

"Admiral Su Ming of the Federation intervened."

Elder Gedemono hastily explained.

"Su Ming? How could he possibly reach our rear defenses?"

Asya and the others expressed even greater astonishment upon hearing this revelation, though it did provide an explanation for the unfolding disaster.

"I do not have the precise details. I received this information from the fleeing officers who managed to escape the battle."

Elder Gedemono himself was in the dark regarding the full extent of the situation. This turmoil had been brewing for many days; if it hadn't been impossible to conceal any longer, no one would have dared to deliver such dire news, not even him.

"A collection of utterly useless fools!"

The Fanluo God Emperor roared in anger.

"Lord God Emperor, please calm yourself!"

Elder Gedemono responded, his voice trembling with fear.

"Gedemono, immediately dispatch word to the General Commander of the Garrison, Ikafata. He must hold the production area of the Light Kawei Star Sea at all costs; no further breaches are permissible. As for the rear Ancania Planetary Sea production area, we shall address it after my current engagement concludes! Should there be any more trouble, you might as well cease to exist!"

The Fanluo God Emperor issued these cold instructions to Elder Gedemono.

It was entirely understandable why the Fanluo God Emperor was incandescent with rage. He was currently engaged in an assault against the Federation, only to have his strategic rear undermined at such a critical juncture. If all his rear production zones were compromised, severe supply shortages would inevitably arise.

Without ammunition, fuel, medicine, or sustenance, his main forces would be incapable of sustaining prolonged combat. Furthermore, if he were compelled to retreat, the Chilami Clan would undoubtedly pursue, potentially triggering a rapid collapse of his campaign and allowing the Federation to regroup, possibly even turning the tide of the war.

"Understood!"

Elder Gedemono affirmed swiftly before severing the communication link.

An eerie silence descended upon the central control room. Bulotto Archbishop and the others remained reticent, terrified of further provoking the Fanluo God Emperor's wrath.

They had not witnessed the Fanluo God Emperor display such overt anger in many years; their Lord God Emperor typically maintained an unflappable demeanor.

"Su Ming, very well, very well!"

The Fanluo God Emperor murmured, his lips curling into a chilling smile, his eyes blazing with a fierce, killing intent.

Bulotto Archbishop and the others felt a distinct shiver, a wave of coldness washing over them from the depths of their hearts.

Nether Moon Star Defense Line · Zone 5 Defensive Sector.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The densely packed Chilami forces were engulfed by a barrage of concentrated energy beams and missiles, falling from the sky one by one.

Suddenly, swarms of Chilami began coalescing and twisting together, forming an attack resembling a doomsday tornado.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

At the vortex of each doomsday tornado, potent black lightning crackled, and immense destructive energy accumulated at its core.

Sizzle!

Beams of Kais fired unerringly towards the Crystal Origin Fortress and the supporting fleet.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ships and fortress armaments detonated spectacularly.

Yet, in the very next second, sub-light-speed nuclear warheads streaked across the cosmic expanse, penetrating the doomsday tornadoes formed by the Chilami.

Boom!

With each blinding detonation resembling a newly born sun, countless Chilami were annihilated, and the destructive tornados were torn asunder.

Mia and her comrades, seizing the advantage, guided their mecha forward, their formidable weapons cleaving through the remaining Chilami.Seeing the attacking fleet on the verge of annihilation, the V-type Fortress-class Chilami Hegrud advanced. Its colossal form contorted, sprouting menacing, black, tumor-like spikes. The central mass then fractured, unfurling a horrifying spike exceeding one hundred kilometers in length. Sizzle, sizzle~ The entirety of this monstrous appendage crackled with an oppressive, dark lightning. Swish! A fearsome Kais Light Pillar, accompanied by a multitude of Kais Beams, assaulted Zone 5's Defense Area. Boom, boom, boom! Transformed meteors, fortresses, and defensive armaments detonated in explosive bursts. "Ah!" Shrieks flooded the communication channels. "A swarm of insects!" The V-type Fortress-class Chilami Hegrud unleashed a frenzied onslaught, shattering defenses and barreling towards the front line. Swish! At that critical juncture, a colossal pillar of azure light tore through the celestial expanse, striking Hegrud directly. Boom! A resplendent blue sun seemed to ignite in the void. Subsequently, barrages of missiles and beams descended, erupting in dazzling, glittering fireworks.
