Chapter 974 - Setback



According to Qi Yunshan, the Human Alliance and the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance had several borders. These borders were now battlefields, and the Devil Galaxy was the most representative of all.

However, in the sector where East Dragon University was, new wormholes had somehow suddenly burst open, causing cosmic lifeforms to emerge from them and attack the rear.

Mobilizing starships on the sneak attacks of these low-level cosmic lifeforms was akin to using cannons to battle mosquitoes. It was not even worth the trouble of transferring the mecha units.

Therefore, they activated the reserve service students from Planet East Dragon and mixed them in with some elites to encircle them.

“Actually... this is similar to a military exercise...” Qi Yunshan was holding a glass of wine inside a large villa. “There isn’t much danger, yet it’s possible to obtain merits. I don’t need it, but you can apply for it!”

“I don’t want to either!” Fang Yuan had no interest in becoming a digit in someone else’s army.

Orders from a senior officer were everything on a battlefield. Would Fang Yuan obediently die if he was ordered to do so? What about becoming an enemy to all of human society? Both choices did not seem particularly wonderful.

The possibility was rather low, but that did not mean it was zero, especially when there were still enemies.

“What about Wu Wudi? What is he up to now?” Fang Yuan asked all of a sudden.

“He participated in a certain military department’s special recruitment and became a member of a secret unit. He isn’t on Planet East Dragon currently...”

Qi Yunshan sighed. “This person is absolutely an outstanding talent. He stops at nothing and is quite terrifying! Do you know that even though you stopped him from obtaining the Wings of the Sky, he was already prepared and had collected materials in secret to manufacture an Emperor-grade mecha! It’s even under construction now...”

“Oh?” That piqued Fang Yuan’s interest.

In fact, he knew that this Wu Wudi was certainly the main character in this universe. His luck was superb since he was young, the kind that never stopped.

He would definitely be able to obtain quite a bit of benefits if he were to follow behind him.

Of course, Fang Yuan scorned such petty things. He would start directly and snatch the lucky chances of the Son of the World!

The mecha materials that Wu Wudi has obtained must be rare given his great destiny... Fang Yuan thought. If I can get my hands on them, my mecha would have a general framework and not just stay a concept on paper...

He did not know why, but he suddenly felt a lot of pity for Wu Wudi, collecting all these treasures only to deliver them to him.

“President Qi!” As sympathetic as he was, Fang Yuan did not hesitate one bit. “Do you know... what materials Wu Wudi has prepared and where he’s making the mecha?”

...

With the vast universe as the backdrop, countless mechas soared and confronted the Zerg.

Ya Ge piloted the Black Moon and landed on an earthy yellow planet.

Poof!

The ground split, and a huge Zerg wiggled out.

“Arc Blade!”

The black mecha swung its right hand, and a blade exuding an electric light appeared, slashing horizontally.

The huge Zerg split in the middle, and acid spilled onto the ground, eroding a large hole. The two halves wiggled continuously until they finally became two independent entities.

“Target locked. Laser cannon, fire!”

Ya Ge’s expression was grave as the shoulder-mounted laser cannon fired two shots.

Rumble! Rumble!

After two spherical explosions, dust fell, and the Zerg immediately dissipated in smoke.

“This elite Zerg should be the last we missed!” He raised his head and looked around at the students. “What are you still waiting for? Clean the battlefield!”

“Yes, Sir!”

The many Gundam series saluted as though they were whipped and started moving at lightning speed.

“A wormhole appeared in East Dragon’s star sector... And it was actually used by the Zerg to go behind us. Fortunately, only a few of them broke through, and their energy level is very low...”

Ya Ge looked on with a rare sense of loss.

“These temporarily-opened wormholes are very unstable, which is why only some low-level cosmic lifeforms could pass through... equivalent to cannon fodder. But even so, this is a very bad sign! The Cosmic Lifeform Alliance might have mastered wormhole technology earlier than us. It might not be mature yet, but it’ll make our future defense very difficult.”

He looked at the students beside him, and he had to admit that even Jonas was too immature. They could even lose their footing when facing Zerg drones.

That elite Zerg would have caused some casualties if he were not here.

“Well... I hope these rookies will grow up quickly after experiencing battle!” Ya Ge sighed and suddenly thought of Lin Meng.

That monster’s growth was incredibly fast. It was not necessary for him to accumulate actual combat experience given his judgment and calculation power.

“Sir!” Jonas brought his K9999 in front of Ya Ge. “I feel like I’ve improved a lot through actual battle...”

“Improved? Haha...” Ya Ge sneered. “None of you would survive if this was an actual battlefield!”

“What about Lin Meng?” Jonas could not help himself.

“You’re no match for him!”

Ya Ge was about to continue when a red warning sign floated on his screen. “High energy activity detected. Coordinate...”

“What’s happening? Didn’t we clean them all up?”

Ya Ge shuddered all over as he piloted the Black Moon to soar into the air and toward said coordinates.

He immediately saw a large area of space collapsing and twisting inwards. Then a translucent circle emerged.

Buzz buzz!

A dense pack of black dots appeared and descended onto this planet.

“Wormhole? And so many elite Zerg?”

Ya Ge shouted, “Ninth formation. And call for backup immediately!”

Kaboom!

Laser cannon blasts shot out immediately, and the Zerg also started their retaliation...

...

East Dragon University, dormitory.

Fang Yuan was cultivating when he opened his eyes suddenly and looked outside.

“Emergency notice! All students, please get online!”

A low, somber voice echoed throughout the campus. It was Venerable Three Star!

“Seems like... something big happened!”

Fang Yuan did not seem too surprised as he switched on his wristband.

“I’m saddened to announce that our second-year reserve mecha unit met with an attack from a temporary wormhole. Everyone perished. The list of those who died...” Venerable Three Star’s face was solemn as he spit out each and every name.

“The cosmic lifeforms have mastered wormhole technology. They are now a great threat to humanity. However, we will never compromise nor yield!

“Victory will definitely be ours as long as we persevere!

“I hereby announce that East Dragon University is now under martial law. No student is allowed to leave the school, and a curfew is being imposed at night!”

...

“Seems like the wormhole issue is getting serious!”

Fang Yuan listened thoughtfully.

There was no doubt that this wormhole technology was extremely terrifying. It made a joke of the Human Alliance’s heavy defense lines. As long as the opposite side wanted to, it could send its forces to a specific area.

However, some shortcomings were still present. The amount of time the wormhole could be maintained was very short, and only low-level existences could pass through, which was a blessing in this misfortune.

“The war situation has changed abruptly. The Human Alliance suffered a great defeat in the Devil Galaxy, and humanity’s frontlines are scorching everywhere. Everything came too fast and too sudden...”

Fang Yuan associated it with that Seven Emotions Overmind instinctively.

The Cosmic Lifeform Alliance launched one offensive after another ever since it appeared. It even broke through the previous bottlenecks and successfully developed wormhole technology. It was impossible for it not to be linked.

If his suspicion that it was the Abominable Lord was at twenty percent previously, it had now increased to at least seventy percent!

“Even if the Seven Emotions Overmind isn’t the Abominable Lord, this existence must be hiding within the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance... If not, he should have been here on Planet East Dragon long ago...

“Is the current situation forcing me to choose sides? Help the Human Alliance destroy the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance?”

Since the Abominable Lord was hiding in the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance and seemed to grasp a certain amount of authority, he was stirring up the situation.

Of course, Fang Yuan would not stupidly fight head-on with such a strength. He would borrow the power of the Human Alliance.

“It seems like... I need to activate many of my plans prematurely!”

Fang Yuan thought about it and immediately contacted Han Yunfeng. “Teacher!”

“What’s the matter, Lin Meng?” Han Yunfeng’s reply came swiftly. “I taught two new students. It proved that the ancient refinement method for high-tier medicine really does have certain advantages regarding the condensing of Aural Dao!”

“Although I’m only the second author of the paper, as part of the Human Alliance, I feel we can make our patent public and let more pharmacists see it!” Fang Yuan said calmly.

“What did you say?” Han Yunfeng widened his eyes before breaking into a smile. “Sure, Student Lin Meng! I feel a little ashamed by your noble conduct! Indeed... we shouldn’t care too much now. It will certainly help the war effort if more high-level cultivators could make up for their shortcomings and advance to Undead Immortal!”

“Does that mean you agree?”

“Naturally. How can my awareness be lower than yours?” Han Yunfeng replied. “I enjoy the process of research, and I don’t necessarily need it to earn star dollars. However, I would suggest finding the school to collaborate with on this lest you mess up in the end!”

The intentions might be good, but the results might be completely different.

Fang Yuan nodded, knowing that that Han Yunfeng’s words were wise. “Teacher, please do it then. I won’t take it up personally in this case!”

Medicine was a trivial matter. His real intentions still lay in mechas!
