Admiral Su Ming's elite unit, led by General Rhein in the V Generation Mecha Dragon Soul Messenger, arrives unexpectedly with a massive fleet of advanced mechas to reinforce the collapsing defense line. Their sudden appearance shocks both allies and enemies, bolstering the Federation's position against the invading Chilami forces.

Su Ming and the Fanluo God Emperor were left in stunned silence upon hearing Celeste’s voice.

Suddenly, the expanse of stars behind the Legendary Level Star Destroyer Grey Angel and the Sea God Fortress began to writhe as if in turbulence. The entire celestial panorama transformed into a digital grid, with space warping into a mirror-like surface of crimson honeycomb.

Crack~

In the subsequent moment, the nexus of this mirrored surface instantly fractured.

Then, a spectral, conical bow materialized gradually from the Subspace, its form intermittently flashing with potent arcs of scarlet lightning.

In an instant!

All vessels and Mechas had their scanning devices blaring with piercingly acute alarms.

"Warning: High-intensity Klein Creature reaction detected!"

...

An entire battlefield held its breath, every soul startled and turning their gazes towards the phenomenon.

War reporters, equally astonished, pivoted their cameras toward the spectacle, their voices trailing off in speechlessness.

"Quick, look! It appears an extraordinary vessel is entering the fray."

"My heavens, what is that?"

"Unknown."

"Never before encountered!"

...

The collective hearts of every citizen glued to the live broadcast were now lodged firmly in their throats.

Observing the unfolding event, the Fanluo God Emperor’s brow furrowed in profound consternation.

Chilami’s Vice Clan Leader, Komih, experienced a chilling premonition, a sinking sensation in his core that instinctively signaled extreme peril.

Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters.

Critical red warning indicators cascaded across the virtual control interfaces.

"Warning: Remote jump detected!"

"Warning: Curvature Interference Device compromised!"

"Warning: High-intensity Klein Creature reaction detected!"

"Notification: Target identity confirmed via safety authentication code!"

...

Optical systems automatically engaged, capturing the visual feed and projecting the image.

"This… the Curvature Interference Device has been breached."

Gwen, staring at the scrolling alerts, seemed dreamlike, uncertain how to convey this information to Long Chen and the others.

"How could this be? What kind of weapon is this?"

Long Chen and his companions sprang from their seats in shock; such a scenario was utterly unprecedented in their experience.

Soon, the Ancient Legendary Level Star Destroyer Grey Angel, spanning 210 kilometers, its hull shaped like an ethereal cone, bearing a surface marked by wear and flickering with fierce lightning discharges, manifested from the Subspace, becoming visible to all present.

The war reporters commenced their broadcasts, a clear note of bewilderment coloring their words.

"What Star Destroyer is this? It appears severely weathered, yet its sheer presence is overwhelming!"

"Never seen it! But it feels strangely familiar!"

"Indeed!"

...

A wave of murmurs rippled through the awestruck spectators.

Within the command center of the Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters.

Long Chen’s eyes widened in recognition upon glimpsing the Grey Angel, his voice laced with utter disbelief.

"This, this is?"

"Why does this vessel bear such a striking resemblance to the Grey Angel?"

...

Commander Soraya and the other high-ranking officers were equally dumbfounded.

Long Ying’s brows drew together tightly, his expression shifting to one of extreme gravity.

"Pfft, cough! Isn't that the Grey Angel?"

Principal Mirrog, seeing the Grey Angel, expelled his drink, coughing forcefully as he managed to articulate his astonishment.

"Grey Angel! Are we referring to the Grey Angel that vanished in the Mist Star Sea?"

Long Chen’s mind raced, and he immediately posed the question.

"Precisely, though its form has undergone minor alterations. But examine it closely, and you’ll see that bow still carries some of the Grey Angel’s distinctive markings," Principal Mirrog explained.

Gwen promptly initiated a verification process, then announced her findings.

"Confirmed, its identification beacon model matches that of the Grey Angel!"

"Then, if that is the case, could those Advanced Mechas possibly be the United Army that was lost during the Red Light Campaign in the mists?" Long Chen’s mind connected the dots, a sudden realization dawning.

"I couldn’t quite place why those Mechas looked so familiar!"

...

Commander Soraya and the others displayed remarkably animated expressions upon hearing this conjecture.

Federation Government·Dawn Hall.

A multitude of lawmakers were similarly thrown into a state of excited turmoil by the abrupt appearance of the Ancient Legendary Level Star Destroyer Grey Angel.

"Does this Star Destroyer belong to Admiral Su Ming?"

"It would appear so; the Thirteenth Legion’s insignia is emblazoned on its hull."

"Doesn't anyone else find this ship's appearance eerily familiar?"

"Indeed!"

"It strongly resembles that other Grey Angel, doesn’t it?"

....

City Lord Alicia wore an expression of profound surprise, her words imbued with a touch of disbelief.

"Could this possibly be *that* Grey Angel?"

"No need to investigate further. It is undoubtedly that vessel," Farren responded with unwavering certainty.

Although the Federation had officially suppressed knowledge of the Grey Angel’s demise, it was hardly a secret amongst those in the know.

At that precise moment, Long Bai, observing the Grey Angel, displayed a subtle, almost imperceptible shift in his usually impassive countenance.

...

At the epicenter of the battlefield, nearer to Moon Star.

Su Ming watched as Celeste maneuvered the Ancient Legendary Level Star Destroyer Grey Angel into position, his lips twitching slightly.

"Celeste, what prompted you to bring this particular vessel here?"

"I noticed you were struggling over there and taking quite a beating, so I brought this over to assist you!"

"But wasn't this vessel still in the midst of repairs?"

"It's no issue, all primary conduits have been linked, and repair completion has reached 82.3%."

"You are certain it's functional?"

"Absolutely, let them witness the ship's ultimate manifestation—the Light of God's Destruction!"

Celeste declared with unwavering confidence.

"Excellent!"

...

Within the command center of the Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer, the Grey Angel.

Celeste, adorned in a black lace gown, hovered before the main console.

Her fair left hand gracefully ascended, accompanied by the emergence of brilliant halos.

"Combat initiation!"

"Annihilation protocol engaged!"

...

Celeste exclaimed with fervor, and a sequence of automated commands materialized on the holographic control interface.

Swish!
