Shadows of the Deep Space

Apocalypse Divine Country·Abyss of Descent Defense Line·Light Star Shield Fortress.

In the steamy hot spring pool, Andro closed his eyes, leaning against the edge of the spring.

Surrounding him stood subordinates wearing the third-generation exoskeleton armor, their eyes sharp and exuding a powerful aura.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gray and white fourth-generation prosthetic armor, with a well-defined face and composed demeanor, approached with a tray.

On the tray lay a crimson syringe, the red liquid inside seeming to wriggle as if alive.

This was the type V gene injection developed by the Tianqi Empire, requiring three injections to succeed.

"Lord Andro, this is the last shot."

"Give it to me!"

Andro suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a sinister smile.

"Yes."

Hoffrey respectfully handed over the injection.

Andro reached out, took the injection, and directly injected it into his neck, releasing the medicine into his body, discarding the syringe casually.

The next moment, Andro’s eyes turned blood-red, his skin revealing red streaks as if something was wriggling beneath.

Andro slowly stood up from the hot spring pool, clenching his fists, his bones cracking, exuding a monstrous and terrifying aura. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I feel full of power, like killing someone!"

Andro spoke, his blood boiling with excitement.

Upon hearing Andro’s words, Hoffrey and the others shuddered, retreating in fear.

Fortunately, Andro suppressed his bloodthirsty impulse, stepping out of the hot spring pool.

Two beautiful female attendants quickly bent over, approached to dry Andro’s body, and dressed him in luxurious clothes.

At this moment, Hoffrey respectfully spoke to Andro.

"Lord Andro, there is something I’m unsure whether to say or not."

"Speak!"

"After you announced a full-scale attack on the Federation, the commanders and soldiers within the defense line are all very resistant, morale is extremely low, and it might be difficult to drive them to battle this time."

"It’s not surprising, these guys have been lounging in the Abyss of Descent for so many years, each one getting fatter, having long thrown away their beliefs and even forgotten that the Abyss of Descent is ours, of course, they don’t want to fight."

Andro sneered mockingly.

"What should we do now? If they refuse to fight, how can we drive the Federation out and reclaim the Abyss of Descent?"

Hoffrey asked anxiously.

"I have my ways, raise the full combat alert, let’s head to the operations room."

After dressing, Andro grimly told Hoffrey.

"Yes!"

Hoffrey was slightly stunned, then quickly responded.

Andro, with many of his subordinates, walked straight out.

....

At this moment, the entire fortress blared with sharp combat alarms.

The originally calm fortress suddenly bustled with activity, with numerous soldiers rushing towards the hangar.

Eta, Aeto, and other officers hurriedly ran to the mobile platform.

"What happened?"

"Not sure, someone sounded the emergency combat alarm, I received a notice to head to the operations room for a meeting."

"Could it be Commander Misya who issued it?"

"Don’t know, we’ll find out when we get there!"

...

Before long, Eta and many generals hurried to the enormous circular operations room.

The entire operations room spanned thousands of square meters, the center featuring a circular metal command platform.

At this time, Andro, with his subordinates, arrogantly sat on the command platform.

Commander Misya and numerous generals stood below the platform.

Aeto and others, upon seeing this scene, all had somber expressions, it was obvious that the alarm was pulled by that lunatic Andro.

Seeing that all high-level officers had arrived, Andro twisted his neck, showing a manic smile to everyone as he spoke.

"You should know very well why I’ve gathered you all here, right?"

"Isn’t it to go to full-scale war with the Federation."

Admiral Aeto replied irritably.

Andro turned to look at Admiral Aeto, grimly asking.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"I don’t have a problem, I just don’t understand why we need to clash to the death with the Federation, wouldn’t it be better to co-exist peacefully and dig together?"

Admiral Aeto replied with great resistance.

"Peaceful coexistence? Dig together? Haha! Don’t you all find it ridiculous? Have your brains gone bad? Abyss of Descent was discovered by us, it’s our territory, not the Federation’s. It’s been lost for so many years, it’s time to reclaim it!"

Andro snarled with a distorted expression.

"Easy for you to say, we want to reclaim it too, the problem is the Federation is so strong, we can’t beat them at all."

Admiral Aeto replied, not looking good.

"The Federation strong? I think it’s you all that are too useless!"

Andro sneered at everyone, mocking them without restraint.

Everyone present showed a hint of anger on their faces upon hearing Andro’s words, the insults were harsh, but they couldn’t retort.

After all, they had indeed been repeatedly defeated.

At this moment, Aeto grumbled.

"Hmph, Andro, anyone can talk bravely, as if you could win."

"Of course I can win, from now on I’ll be in command, I’ll lead you fools to drive out the Federation and completely reclaim the Abyss of Descent."

Andro spoke with boundless confidence.

"Alright, so how are we going to fight?"

Eta stared at Andro and asked.

Andro glanced at Hoffrey from the corner of his eye.
