Chapter 563: Chaos and Death Mission

“Doron, the more time passes, the more I’m convinced that commander Otto’s decision was wise.”

Inside a big co-shared house, Nara said to the grown Doron next to him. Doron also sighed with wonder on his face. He is actually one of the culprits that led to the fame of the giant serpent.

Sometimes, he can’t help but wonder. What would have happened if he didn’t report Drummond’s death and ask the school to take revenge. Would it have led to an entirely different development?

“Yeah, if it weren’t for Commander Otto’s original decision, our eighth heaven might have been destroyed or have fallen into war by now.”

“Sigh…”

Both of them sighed while nodding. Fortunately, they have a wise general who can see through the surface situation and make critical decisions.

At this moment, they are browsing the news about the seventh heaven. According to the latest news, the seventh heaven is filled with the smoke of wars now.

Fleets in various places are fighting each other, competing for territory, resources, populations, and independence!

In addition, many pollutants started acting up. Such a place is the best environment for them.

In short, the current Seventh Heaven is a war-torn place. Gone was the peace and prosperity, now it can’t even defend itself.

The council and citizens of the eighth heaven trembled a bit upon receiving the news because they were so close to falling into such chaos before.

Currently, commander Otto, the general who led the vanguard fleet to fight against the giant serpent before has become the highest military figure in the eighth heaven, a war god.

Countless people are grateful for his wise decisions and management that saved the eighth heaven from disaster.

While the people in the Eighth Horizon were celebrating their survival, in the seventh heaven, a giant fleet was galloping across the dark space.

This fleet is the allied fleet led by Lu Ming, and it’s still searching for the giant serpent at this moment.

They received a new order from the top. They must find the giant serpent and contain it in the seventh heaven, the headquarters will continue to send more troops. This is a mission they can’t fail!

The leaders of the fifth and sixth heaven along with their people are very nervous now.

Although there is the sixth heaven between the fifth and seventh heaven, this sixth heaven has no way to stop the giant serpent. They suffer a disastrous loss if the giant serpent is allowed to leave the seventh heaven.

Don’t mention the sixth heaven, even their fifth heaven will suffer greatly if the giant serpent is allowed to enter it.

Of course, the sixth heaven is the most concerned about this matter.

At the moment, countless battleships and starships appeared in the boundary between the seventh and sixth heaven. The sixth heaven even started building bases and transporting Battlestars and fortresses there.

This is to prevent the giant serpent from passing through the boundary and entering their sixth heaven.

In fact, in that boundary, quite a few fifth heaven ships appeared. They also contributed power to stop the giant serpent from moving forward.

Of course, deploying such a massive army and manpower to the boundary has caused a great strain on the sixth heaven, giving the aboriginal pollutants an even greater chance to act and riot.

In short, traces of instability appeared in the sixth heaven. Many low-level civilizations have been either destroyed or enslaved by various pollutants.

The intelligent creatures of the seventh heaven are miserable, but the citizens of the sixth heaven are also unhappy.

“The higher-ups gave us a death mission. We must find the giant serpent before it can leave the seventh heaven!”

Lu Ming stood in the control center, speaking to the small leaders and captains of his fleet.

“So, everyone must work harder to find the trace of the giant serpent.”

“There’s no trace of the giant serpent in the boundary between the sixth and seventh heaven, so it’s likely still in the seventh heaven.”

Lu Ming had an extremely solemn expression on his face.

“The fate of both the sixth and fifth heaven is on the line. Everyone in this fleet is concerned, so everyone must give their best!”

“I hope that we can all work together to deal with this disaster.”

“Now I announce that the work time has been doubled! We will turn the detection equipment to the maximum extent at all times! If you find any suspicious object or creature, you must immediately report it! We must let go of any suspicious object!”

After the lecture, Lu Ming rubbed his eyebrows, the mission he received is the highest level 1 mission. Which is a mission that must be completed at all costs, even if he sacrifices the entire fleet! This put him under great pressure.

Of course, if they can find the tracks of the giant serpent, the rewards they will receive will be extremely generous.

“This giant serpent is really difficult to handle. I wonder where this monster is hiding now?”

Lu Ming had a deep frown on his face.

In fact, even if he didn’t receive the death mission, he would still try his best to find the giant serpent. He has great confidence in his fleet and the fourth heaven’s battleships.

In addition, his best friend died at the hands of the giant serpent. Revenge must be reported!

“Gu Li, don’t worry, I will kill that monster for you.”

Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes were firm.

“Now, the most important thing to do is to find the trace of the giant serpent.“

Following Lu Ming’s order, the entire fleet started spreading out, covering a much larger range than before, looking for any suspicious trace around.

However, what Lu Ming didn’t know was that the giant serpent they were looking for was hiding in the deep space far above them.

“Hmph!”

In the distant space above, Fang Yun observed the huge fleet below. He quickly spotted the fourth heaven starships he was looking for.

They were quite easy to find as they were quite different from any other ships in the fleet.

Through visual observation, Fang Yun judged that there are roughly 50,000 of these ships in the allied fleet.

This number is insignificant in comparison to the rest of the fleet, but considering the combat capabilities of these ships, this number is actually very big.

Of course, Fang Yun didn’t know their specific information and abilities, because he hadn’t fought against them yet.

“I have to find a way to swallow this batch of ships.”

Fang Yun was very excited. From the system’s reminder, each one of these ships can provide him with several billion bio-energy points.

The evolution requirement is getting more and more outrageous. It’s already 3 trillion points now and it will continue to increase exponentially in the future.

Although he gathered more than 1 trillion points now, he still needs a lot of time to gather the rest.

However, if he swallows this fleet, he won’t need to worry about bio-energy for a while. He will directly evolve a few times. Of course, provided that he eats the entire fleet.

It’s worth mentioning that now his reputation value has increased a lot.

At the moment, his reputation value has reached 1.34 trillion points. With the skill points he received, he upgraded “Space Devour” a few times.

The range and depth of space that can be devoured have increased by almost ten times. Now, opening his mouth, he can devour everything within the range of ten million kilometers. That means that he can technically devour stars, but he doesn’t dare do so now.

Fang Yun observed the fleet below, quietly creating a suitable attack plan.

This “Space Devour” skill is very powerful, after all, he can easily use it to devour thousands of ships, and they won’t be able to resist no matter their power. However, the problem is that he can’t get any bio-energy using this skill.

Otherwise, his evolution speed would have been as fast as a rocket.

The fleet underneath, as a whole, is in a square formation, but the ships are more spread out.

“Well, let’s try that place first.”

Fang Yun chose an area, which was very close to the small fourth heaven fleet. It’s close enough to attack and also far enough for him to escape.

It wasn’t that Fang Yun was scared, he is just cautious and unwilling to take risks. He knows nothing about the power of these ships after all.

After making up his mind, Fang Yun got closer to there. This is of course with the help of the giant turtle, his most important and trusty ally.

Soon, they reached the area that Fang Yun had previously selected, but the ships in that area are still acting as usual. They didn’t detect anything.

“By the way, can we use the special detectors to scan the surrounding area now?”

In the control center of the command ship, Lu Ming suddenly remembered something. He suddenly asked a soldier next to him, and the soldier immediately replied.

“Commander, the special detector is ready. It can be used at any time.”

This detector is very special as it can detect the fluctuations hidden in the depth of space, but it requires a tremendous amount of energy every time it’s turned on.

Without a reliable station to recover energy, it’s a big burden on their fleet. They can only use it occasionally.

“Hum!!”

Next to the command center, inside a big cold room, a huge instrument was turned on. The sound of buzzing continuously sounded in this room, making the staff very uncomfortable. They worked in this incredibly cold room that can instantly freeze a mortal for five days, without rest.

Their line of work is very hard and tiring, they must relax from time to time otherwise their body will start breaking down. It doesn’t matter that they are genetically enhanced superhumans.

Even so, the law stipulates that no one can work in this line for more than ten years, otherwise, their lifespan will be affected.

Soon, this machine began to run at full capacity, scanning the surrounding area. Because the object they are searching for has been set in advance, they quickly filtered through all irrelevant organisms, searching for the target.

“Have you still not found anything?”

Lu Ming can also directly see the results of the scan.

Seeing the empty scan, the look of disappointment on his face couldn’t be hidden, but his expression soon froze after.

“This… have you found the target organism?”

He couldn’t hide his surprise. Of course, it’s not certain that it’s the great serpent. They only found a suspicious object now, they have to conduct a more detailed search to determine whether it’s their target or not.

A few moments later, the shape of the suspicious object was gradually mapped out.

“Serpent!!!”

After seeing the shape of the suspicious creature, Lu Ming exclaimed. He quickly gave orders to the fleet.

“25th Fleet! Listen to my order! the giant serpent is approaching your location, immediately organize manpower and trap it!”

Afterward, he quickly gave orders to the rest of the fleet, preparing to give a fatal blow to the serpent.

“Boom!!”

The moment Fang Yun jumped out of the deep space, what greeted him was fierce artillery and laser attacks. All kinds of attacks fell on Fang Yun’s body, creating countless shallow blood pits on him, turning him into a ‘pseudo moon’.

Thankfully, his body strength is extremely high right now, after all, he has experienced over 100 evolutions. Even the hardest alloys are like fragile paper compared to his scales.

“Roar!!!”

Fang Yun roared angrily. He furiously glanced at the big fleet, then quickly turned around and ran away.

“Damn it! My whereabouts have been discovered!”

Fang Yun had a look of disbelief. His stealth tactic has always been successful. Since the giant turtle had unlocked its stealth abilities, they had been rampant across several heavens, this is the first time the stealth plan failed.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

While fleeing, a lot of energy and material attacks fell on Fang Yun’s body, blowing a quarter of his body and severely injuring him. Fortunately, the injury is not life-threatening. He can quickly recuperate.

“Bastard thing! Chase behind! We can’t allow that monster to escape!”

In the command ship, Lu Ming immediately issued the order to chase and said.

“All teams assume the sharp sword formation! Use your maximum speed to chase the giant serpent!”

The captains of all the teams and small fleets responded together. At the next moment, the big fleets started galloping forward.

In the process of flying, the fleet’s formation quickly transformed into a flying sword, causing its speed to increase several times. A moment later, the fleet disappeared into the dark space.

“Shit…”

In the process of fleeing, Fang Yun was paying attention to the situation behind. He naturally detected the chasing fleet and their increase in speed.

“Damn it, they actually chased me!”

A cold light flashed across Fang Yun’s pupils. Does he look that easy to bully?

The previous accident was due to his rashness, carelessness, and overconfidence in his stealth, causing him to get injured and flee. Do these guys think he is afraid of them?

He certainly can’t fight the fleet head-on now, but he can use guerilla and harassment tactics…

Fang Yun smiled coldly. He started thinking about how to use this opportunity to get revenge on these guys.

“Woo!!”

Suddenly, the giant turtle appeared next to Fang Yun’s side and whimpered while looking at his injuries. It seemed to think that Fang Yun got injured because of its incompetence, causing it to blame itself.

Fang Yun gently touched the body of the giant turtle, telling it to not blame itself. Even he didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

It was due to his overconfidence and arrogance.

“The speed of the giant turtle is a bit slow.”

Fang Yun wrapped the giant turtle with his tail, then quickly flew forward. Because the giant turtle’s body isn’t as strong as Fang Yun’s body, he couldn’t use his maximum speed.

Even so, he quickly threw the fleet chasing behind in the dust. Fang Yun’s speed has long surpassed the limits of the material universe. By condensing a space field around him, his speed can reach a terrifying level.

During this period, Fang Yun took a turn, then approached from the side of the fleet. Since they have a way to detect him, then there’s no need to bring the giant turtle.

After putting the giant turtle in a safe place, Fang Yun started acting alone.

Of course, he isn’t planning to fight head-on against the fleet. He is planning to use guerilla and harassment tactics against the fleet relying on his speed.
