Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1805 - 560: Cutting Off the Source (Part 3)

"Yes!"

Hofffrey could only reply, his voice laced with affirmation.

Immediately, a dense phalanx of Mechas advanced relentlessly, their sights set on Defense Position No. 2.

Within the central command hub of the Star Destroyer·Deep Blue.

The operator reported to Qianluo, his tone urgent.

"Legion Commander, the enemy’s Mechanical Army is charging, approaching at high speed."

"Courting death! Release the suicide drone swarm·Water Jellyfish!"

Qianluo commanded with chilling ruthlessness.

"Yes!"

The operator responded instantly.

Ka!

The Star Destroyer·Deep Blue and its accompanying vessels unleashed a torrent from countless launch bays. A swarm of triangular, spike-shaped suicide drones, known as Water Jellyfish, surged forth, hurtling towards the Mecha army of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.

Miraculously, the charging Mechas managed to evade the overwhelming aerial assault. However, just as they were on the verge of breaching the defense line, they met a head-on collision with the dense swarm of Water Jellyfish, despair gripping each pilot.

Boom boom boom~

Amidst the cacophony of explosions, Mecha after Mecha succumbed to the onslaught.

"Ah!"

"Quick, dodge away!"

"No, we can’t possibly dodge it!"

...

The public communication channel erupted with piercing screams.

Inside the central command hub of the Star Destroyer·Holy Sleep.

Witnessing this horrifying display, Vice Patriarch Edrigge's countenance grew grim. His initial assessment of Defense Zone No. 2 as a simple assignment was proving to be a grave miscalculation.

"My lord, what are our orders now?"

Hofffrey inquired, his voice tight with anxiety.

"Hmph, continue the assault. I wish to see whether Rain Capital possesses more wealth or if we have an inexhaustible supply of troops."

Vice Patriarch Edrigge declared defiantly.

"Yes!"

Hofffrey quickly concurred.

...

Meanwhile, the engagement in Defense Zone No. 4 had also escalated into a fevered pitch.

Admiral Xinlad, piloting the Fake VI Generation Mecha·Black Dragon’s Tooth, held the frontline alongside his troops, ferociously dispatching the encroaching cannon fodder Mechas. He bellowed to his subordinates,

"Brothers, slay them! Do not permit them to cross our line unless it is over our lifeless bodies."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded with fervent determination.

.....

Aboard the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Guang Xiao.

Fanluo God Emperor reclined in his command chair, observing the unfolding battles across Defense Zones 2, 4, and 5 displayed on a vast holographic projection. A subtle smirk played on his lips.

"Lord Fanluo God Emperor, the assaults on three fronts do not appear to be yielding promising results."

Yakes remarked respectfully.

"No need for haste; this is merely the appetizer."

Fanluo God Emperor replied with unflustered composure.

"Understood."

Yakes bowed his head in acknowledgment.

...

Aboard the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme.

Su Ming observed the ferocious battlefield, his heart churning with anxiety. An intense desire to intervene warred with the dictates of reason, holding his impulses in check.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Su Ming’s wristband vibrated.

He glanced down swiftly at his wristband, where a private message from the Star Cluster Forum had materialized.

"It is done."

"Timi, the rest is up to you."

Upon reading the message, Su Ming immediately rose from his pilot seat and strode towards the side platform.

The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme swiftly extended an exit hatch.

Swish!

Su Ming, piloting Ilyas, transformed into a terrifying black streak of light, accelerating towards the very heart of the conflict.

At this very moment, Admiral Doser, commanding a sixty-meter tall Mecha clad in formidable gray heavy armor, equipped with a large-caliber super particle beam cannon mounted on its left shoulder and wielding a colossal mechanical axe, bore two pairs of mechanical light wings affixed to its back. The shoulders were emblazoned with the markings of seven Red Moons and eleven Black Moons, exuding the overwhelming might of a V Generation Mecha·Earth Shaking Messenger. He addressed Aifulin,

"Let us attack together!"

"Understood!"

Aifulin, piloting the Wandering Spirit Messenger, charged alongside Admiral Doser.

Limi's eyes narrowed, and she piloted the Divine Grace Mecha, transforming into a flash of white light to intercept them.

Ka!

The three combatants collided,

unleashing a colossal shockwave that rippled outwards.

Both the Earth Shaking Messenger and the Wandering Spirit Messenger were forcefully propelled backward.

Admiral Doser's expression darkened; even their combined might proved insufficient to gain an advantage.

At this critical juncture, Limi, controlling the Divine Grace Mecha, raised her lance and charged once more towards Doser and his associate.

Admiral Doser and Aifulin engaged without hesitation.

Just as their paths were about to converge again, a terrifying black streak of light sliced through the starry expanse, interposing itself between the three and deploying an AT Barrier, powerfully arresting the onslaught from Limi, Doser, and Aifulin.

"Su Ming?"

Limi, Doser, and Aifulin stood dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of Ilyas.

Su Ming promptly activated the full-channel communication and broadcasted to all present,

"Everyone, cease fire!"

Inside the central command hub of the Star Destroyer·Praying Light.

Archbishop Deshier, equally bewildered, turned to Commander Misar.

"What is Su Ming planning now?"

"Stop! Immediately order everyone to cease fire!"

Commander Misar’s eyelid twitched as he issued the command.

Although the ceasefire order seemed foolish and risked heavy losses for his troops, Commander Misar instinctively chose to place his trust in Su Ming.

"Yes, sir!"

The operator immediately acknowledged.

Within the central control room of the Star Destroyer·Star Hidden,

Mia, taken aback by Su Ming’s order to halt, quickly turned to Shari.

"Shari, cease the attack at once!"

Shari complied without hesitation, promptly relaying the order.

"All units, cease fire!"

"Yes, sir!"

The operator confirmed the command.

In that instant, all forces within Defense Zone No. 5 ceased their offensive actions.

Inside the command room at the Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters,

Gwen, her mouth slightly agape in disbelief, delivered her report.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Su Ming has called off the battle in Defense Zone No. 5."

"What is happening? Why would he call it off at such a crucial moment?"

Long Chen stood up, his voice laced with disbelief.

"Is he attempting some form of mediation? That seems highly unrealistic, doesn't it?"
