Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1796 - 558: Lord of Death_4

"What agreement?"

"Each of us breaks into the Federation by our own abilities. Whoever gets the Dimension Stone first, it belongs to them!"

"Alright, it’s a deal!"

Herares promptly agreed.

Naturally, the reliability of this pact was something only the two of them truly understood.

After the Mirrog Clan Leader concluded their deal, he tore through space and vanished.

At this moment, Herares’ imposing voice boomed once more.

"Pami, come out!"

"Clan Leader, sir."

Pami emerged immediately, speaking with deference.

"Isn’t it about time for your little stunt?"

Clan Leader Herares inquired coldly.

Pami's heart sank instantly, and he responded grudgingly.

"Yes!"

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

To the rear of the Black Flame Star Defense Line.

The expanse of the starry sky rippled subtly without warning, and then the Void Eye Fortress silently materialized.

Within the central control room of the Void Fortress.

Pami stood upon the observation deck, gazing towards the distant Black Flame Star Defense Line, his electronic eyes flashing incessantly.

Just then, Kross, the Mechanic Master, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, approached Pami and, glancing towards the distant Black Flame Star Defense Line, asked with some bewilderment.

"What are we doing here? You’re not planning to assault the Black Flame Star Defense Line, are you?"

"All four forces are hesitating outside, unwilling to advance. How can this game continue under such circumstances? So, I must intervene and offer them a little assistance."

Pami remained silent for a few seconds before replying in a raspy voice.

Of course, Pami would never reveal to Kroos that his current actions were prompted by Mirog's coercion.

In truth, disrupting the current stalemate and allowing all forces to flood in did not align with his master plan at all, but at this juncture, the decision was no longer his to make.

"Fair enough."

Kroos responded with a grin.

Pami offered no further words. He descended from the observation deck and proceeded directly to the central control console.

Fizz~

Pami’s eyes brightened.

The Void Eye Fortress gradually unfurled a multitude of honeycomb-like ports.

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless Mechanical Octopus drones were deployed, extending outwards from the Void Eye to erect a colossal camouflage canopy.

At this precise moment, the Void Eye divested itself of its cloaking; the massive surface of the fortress parted like a blooming flower, unveiling a colossal Mechanical Eye within.

Then, Pami instantly unleashed his power, with one purple halo after another materializing around his entire being.

The entire Void Eye Fortress surged its power output to its absolute maximum.

In a flash, the enormous Mechanical Eye erupted with blinding radiance, and the surrounding space warped violently.

Kroos, witnessing this spectacle, was likewise astonished, observing with considerable anticipation.

In the subsequent second!

The virtual interface within Pami’s vision instantly acquired locks on Black Flame Star and all the surrounding defensive armaments.

Shua!

The Void Eye Fortress emitted a sudden pulse, unleashing an imperceptible wave that propagated towards the Black Flame Star Defense Line, after which everything lapsed back into tranquility.

Kroos appeared slightly bewildered and inquired.

"What sort of assault was that? It didn’t seem to accomplish anything."

Pami offered no response to Kroos; he merely continued to observe the distant scene in silence.

...

Black Flame Star Defense Line.

At this very moment, the soldiers of the Dark Star Empire advanced like an overwhelming tide, their war cries echoing as they surged towards the Black Flame Star Defense Line like moths drawn to a flame.

On the Black Flame Star Defense Line, the densely packed Crystal Origin Fortresses, Light Annihilation cannons, and other defensive armaments unleashed furious barrages!

Swish swish!

Beams of energy and missiles saturated the sky, pelting the Imperial Army with the ferocity of a downpour.

Rumble~

Mechas belonging to the Dark Star Empire detonated one after another.

Yet, even as their comrades were obliterated beside them, the Dark Star Empire soldiers pressed forward with unwavering courage.

"Quick, stop them!"

The soldiers of Sky Dome City, tasked with the defense, piloted their Mechas to intercept.

A portion of the Dark Star Empire soldiers, finding their advance impeded and seeing no hope of breakthrough, directly activated the heavy explosives they carried, perishing alongside the Sky Dome City soldiers in a mutual destruction.

Despite these sacrifices, the Sky Dome City soldiers remained undeterred; instead, they fought with even greater desperation to impede the advance.

However, a contingent of Dark Star Empire soldiers managed to slip through the net, bypassing layers upon layers of resistance to get perilously close to the defensive armaments. They then detonated the explosive charges they carried, neutralizing some of the defenses, though the overall outcome was far from satisfactory.

Sakari, piloting the Blade of Death, found himself locked in combat with Mo Xiu while casting a peripheral glance at the battlefield unfolding ahead. Upon observing the meager results of the assault, his expression contorted into one of extreme displeasure.

Once more the formidable main cannon of Black Flame Star ignited, its countless launch ports gaping open like the terrifying fangs of a colossal steel beast preparing to strike.

Witnessing this, Sakari urgently broadcast a warning through the comms channel.

"Everyone, fall back!"

The soldiers of the Dark Star Empire were thrown into shock. Each time Black Flame Star unleashed its fury, it was akin to a cataclysmic baptism of destruction.

But precisely at this critical juncture, an abrupt shift occurred: the brilliance from Black Flame Star’s main cannon suddenly extinguished, and a vast array of armaments along the defense perimeter abruptly powered down, silencing their barrage!

Within the central command chamber of Black Flame Star.

The operational displays were suddenly inundated with cascading error messages.

"What in the cosmos is happening? Why is the system failing?"

The operators were visibly startled by the sudden malfunction.

Lord Rosaga and his subordinates stared in disbelief, barking immediate orders.

"Hurry, clear these errors!"

"Understood!"

The operators frantically input emergency directives.

Bang~

Instantly, the main console short-circuited, erupting in a shower of sparks.

The screens went black, signifying total system failure.

"It's finished, the systems are fried!"

The operators cried out in sheer panic.

...

Out amidst the cosmic expanse.

The soldiers of the Dark Star Empire stood dumbfounded by this sudden turn of fortune.

Federation soldiers, too, were utterly bewildered.

Sakari, however, seized the moment and issued a swift command over the comms.

"The Federation's armaments are offline. This is our golden opportunity, launch a full-scale assault!"
