Chapter 2624: Chapter 1761: Rearguard Meeting (Egg Custard Is My Favorite Breakfast)

This is absolutely terrible!

This was the first thought in Duanmu Huai’s mind when he received Aikute’s report.

The appearance of the Chaos Legion did not surprise Duanmu Huai; the Eye of Fear is the Chaos stronghold, anything happening outside the gate would bring them out to take a look. However, the chaotic situation now made Duanmu Huai feel extremely disordered and angry.

This Titanium Clan really knows how to choose a place!

Fighting over territory with the Green Skin, mixing Chicken Thieves within themselves, and building cities on the Space Undead’s tomb!

Mad, is there anything you won’t do!?

If I knew this Titanium Clan was so stupid, I shouldn’t have come and let them deal with their own demise!

But unfortunately, it’s too late for that now.

It’s like setting fire to a powder keg; the whole powder keg has been completely ignited, and things are now completely out of control.

Despite so many unexpected events, the situation hasn’t changed.

The Green Skin continues to desire destruction to make themselves more WAAAAGH.

The Chicken Thieves also attempt to kill anything that obstructs their goals.

The Space Undead firmly eradicates all life.

The Tribunal is also eliminating all Aliens.

As for the Titanium Clan... well, they’re only getting killed by everything.

Language is meaningless, communication is worthless, only the weapon in hand is the best negotiation.

Victory or defeat, life or death.

Since that’s the case, why not let it become even more chaotic!

Having barely escaped from the melee, Duanmu Huai’s face was exceedingly gloomy; he had just taken down eighty Orcs, then eliminated a formation of Undead Guard, and crushed two hundred Chicken Thieves before barely returning to the city. Of course, he didn’t even bother to count how many Titanium Clan he had stomped to death along the way.

You wouldn’t calculate how many pieces of bread you’ve eaten.

Duanmu Huai reached out, exhaled deeply, and then lifted his right hand—a Soul Card appeared in his hand, shimmering before fading away.

[Profane Sphere]

"Boom rumble rumble rumble!!"

The ground roared, trembling, as a spiral-shaped High Tower of intertwined red and black emerged from the earth, towering like a tower reaching to the heavens at the city’s center.

"—————————"

The divine seal’s power began to resonate, awakening the once dead flesh. They started to twist, deform, with bones transforming into Sharp Blades piercing the flesh, becoming machines craving all slaughter and destruction. They joined the war, starting to butcher everything that moved. And they would not be killed, nor could they be killed.

Because they were already dead.

Meanwhile, within the Tribunal, everyone felt puzzled by the sudden complex state of affairs.

"Uwah........."

Upon hearing the intelligence Gavi obtained through a mental connection from Ogis, Ann couldn’t help but sigh.

"It’s my first time encountering such a chaotic and complex scene......"

"Me too........."

Mary nodded in agreement, they had fought together with Duanmu Huai for quite a while, but it was truly the first time facing such a chaotic and complex situation. Just thinking about this immensely complex melee made them feel a headache.

"So what should we do now?"

Greiya asked uneasily; the original plan was for the Tribunal to eliminate the Titanium Clan in the shortest time, then occupy that planet. Subsequently, the Tribunal would send all three Planet Fortresses to the forefront of the Eye of Fear, then commence the construction work of the Ether Synchronous Engine.

However, the issue now becomes that, given the current situation, it’s unlikely that the planet can be seized in a short time, and there’s no way to use the extinction order. Furthermore, with the arrival of the Chaos Legion, things become even further complicated. This operation was a large-scale coordination action for the Tribunal, even arguably the largest operation since Duanmu Huai established the Tribunal.

"........."

Mary fell silent for a moment, then turned her head to look at Hei Chuan Chi Yin beside her.

"Miss Chi Yin, what is your opinion?"

"Eh? Me, me?"

"Yes, in your view... what would Mr. Duanmu do?"

When Duanmu Huai went to attack the Titanium Clan, Hei Chuan Chi Yin also showed her abilities to the others. It must be said, her ability to summon the Gods onto herself, fully embodying Duanmu Huai, indeed left the girls in awe. Though differing in gender and appearance, her aura and personality were exactly the same as the Duanmu Huai they were familiar with, now the girls understood why Duanmu Huai would place Hei Chuan Chi Yin in this position.

According to Hei Chuan Chi Yin, through this role-playing, she can mimic Duanmu Huai’s thought patterns and preferences almost completely. So, when Duanmu Huai is absent, she can at least provide suggestions on what he might do, and combined with Ann and Mary’s understanding of Duanmu Huai, the three of them can roughly discuss a suitable proposal.

"Hmm........."

Hei Chuan Chi Yin reached out her hand to support her chin, thought for a moment, then opened her eyes.

"May I ask, if that planet were destroyed, to what extent could the Eye of Fear expand?"

"Hmm... Let me ask."

Ann quickly connected to Lani and Frieren, and after hearing Ann’s inquiry, they discussed and subsequently Frieren gave an answer.

"It’s hard to say, as this is just a prediction, and we’ve never seen the expansion of the Eye of Fear with our own eyes, making it difficult to estimate."

"Ah, right."

Upon saying this, Mary seemed to have thought of something, clapped her hands.

"I remember Mr. Duanmu mentioned that this galaxy once had something called an obelisk, which could be used to curb the expansion of the Eye of Fear. Back then, when the Chaos Legion attempted to attack Cadia and destroy everything. If we can activate these obelisks, could it somewhat alleviate or curb the expansion of the Eye of Fear?"

"Theoretically feasible, but where is the obelisk?"

"Well........."

Mary didn’t know either, she was merely recording Duanmu Huai’s conversation at that time, as for the obelisk......

"Seems to be on a planet called Cadia?"

"But that planet has been annihilated, at least on the current star map there’s no trace of that planet in the future after that."

"But the direction is good."

It was then that Lani spoke up.

"Although we can’t find the obelisk, we do have alternatives."

"You mean the reality stabilizer anchor?"

Ann frowned slightly.

"Yes, in the original plan, didn’t we intend to use the reality stabilizer anchor to stabilize the Eye of Fear and prevent Chaos erosion?"

"But those large reality stabilizing anchors are installed on the planet fortress."

Ann had no choice but to remind.

"Once we launch the planet fortress, it signifies the start of the combat plan. The current situation is extremely chaotic, making it difficult to ascertain if all this will affect the further execution of the combat plan."

Titanium Clan, Orcs, Insect Swarm, Space Undead, Chaos Legion—who knows what else will appear?

Duanmu Huai’s plan initially addressed responses to the Chaos Legion and demon attacks at the start of the Ether Synchronous Engine construction but did not anticipate so many enemies arriving at once.

Moreover, since there’s a Space Undead tomb here, it’s possible there could be Star God fragments inside. Everyone present knows how powerful the Star Gods are. And unlike demons, their power is also effective in the real space.

"The plan can be postponed."

Hei Chuan Chi Yin clenched her hands, frowning.

"Based on my understanding of Mr. Duanmu, he can tolerate a delay in the plan. The current situation is overly chaotic, beyond our control."

"But what about that planet?"

Facing Ann’s questioning, Hei Chuan Chi Yin shifted her thinking, remaining silent for a moment.

"Leave it be."

Then she decisively answered.

"Since those damn alien rascals will slaughter each other, just let them kill each other, at least Space Undead... that race definitely won’t tolerate other races invading their territory. The Titanium Clan has lost its fighting power, now only awaits slaughter. Orcs and Genetic Thieves can’t join forces, and the Chaos Legion has already realized things aren’t right, so continuing to stand off isn’t beneficial."

"But they might attempt to destroy that planet or enhance defense if we evacuate."

Ann raised her opinion.

"Certainly, but the Space Undead won’t sit idly by either."

The group remained silent for a while. Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s suggestion was based on the premise that these alien species don’t cooperate with each other. In fact, this was true; the notion that an enemy’s enemy is a friend doesn’t apply here. In this world, this universe, an enemy’s enemy is still an enemy.

And that planet is also the Space Undead’s tomb empire. Even if the Chaos Legion wants to destroy that planet, they must see whether the Space Undead agree or not.

"I think this idea is good."

As the representative of being cautious rather than rash, Aikute was the first to choose support.

"Then let’s submit our opinion to Mr. Knight."

"However, I’m somewhat uneasy."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, everyone curiously looked at Hei Chuan Chi Yin, who hesitated for a moment and then expressed her worry.

"I’m worried that Mr. Duanmu might get too carried away and directly wipe out the Space Undead, then... things would become more cumbersome."

"..........."

One has to admit, this concern is indeed very reasonable.

Especially considering it’s Duanmu Huai, it seems even more reasonable.

"Quickly inform him, before it’s too late!"

It turned out Ann’s judgment was correct.

After Duanmu Huai received the meeting content from Ogis, he nearly charged into the Space Undead’s lair.

"Phew......that was close, almost got carried away."

Duanmu Huai took a deep breath, put down the War Hammer in his hand, and kicked away a nearby undead guard like a dead dog.

"I also think this idea is good, it’s better to retreat, Great Judge."

Lumiaire, who was now pale-faced, was perched on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder. Although she was absolutely safe under Duanmu Huai’s protection, witnessing Duanmu Huai’s combat up close did give Lumiaire a slight tribunal shock.

"..........Seems like we have to go with that."

Duanmu Huai remained silent momentarily and made his decision.

"Let’s retreat temporarily."
