World-saving Plan: The Only Savior
Chapter 1862 - 7: Hive Project (3)
The blinding light flickered violently as Li Zixuan and the others traversed several light-years in an instant, arriving at the other end of the wormhole in the Prism Star System.
"Is this the Prism Star System, the homeland of the Guleng Star People..."
As they looked at the environment displayed on the projection interface in front of them, the members of the Mad Bee Team all fell silent.
This star system, just as the legends said, was on the brink of death. The Constant Star Luminous was constantly emitting a Crimson Light, giving a bizarre feeling.
"This is the Crimson Light, right? It’s said that any creature exposed to it will turn into a mindless Mutant. This thing seems to have appeared on our planet before, and it seemed to have caused quite an impact. I remember that back then in Bali, there was a large outbreak of mutant rats, and they say traces of them can still be found in some dark sewers."
The few people there had a certain understanding of the Crimson Light, as this event in human history was something they were obligated to study as members of the Anti-Demon Alliance.
The ships of the Third Fleet activated the Spiritual Shield to avoid being affected by the Crimson Light.
In the central command room of the flagship, Li Xiang looked seriously at a bright mirror surface in front of him, the pattern displayed on it making his brows furrow deeply.
"Commander, the situation this time is not optimistic. Things seem more serious than we imagined."
Beside him, a middle-aged white-haired man in white Daring Clothes spoke. He was Li Xiang’s deputy, the leader of the Third Fleet’s Intelligent Group, Chu He.
"According to the readings from the Spirit Measuring Compass, the Emperor’s status is now very unstable, and the frequency of spiritual power fluctuations has increased by 585% compared to before. At this rate, it is likely to awaken soon, and then I’m afraid the entire Prism System cannot be preserved."
Li Xiang nodded slightly. Now in his forties, after twenty years of training, he had become an exceptionally outstanding fleet commander.
Like Li Zixuan, he also had an astonishing talent in this area. In the past, he joined the organization as logistics personnel, initially just aiming to be a qualified driver.
However, the world is unpredictable, and life holds no absolutes. While Li Xiang’s innate talent in cultivation was mediocre, he was a genius in controlling space battleships.
He was also a founding figure. Zhang Xiaoman, remembering their friendship, gave him some support. Li Xiang obtained ample resources for study and advanced learning, and with his own hard work, he eventually reached his current position.
"The situation indeed cannot afford any delay. The Emperor’s abnormal burst this time was very sudden, with previous signs being very weak and almost undetectable. What we can do now is, according to the Inspector’s requirements, complete the defense deployment in our designated area to prevent the Emperor from escaping immediately upon awakening, to avoid threatening our safety."
White-haired Chu He nodded agreeably and said:
"To prevent it from awakening, we’ve indeed put a lot of suppression on the Emperor over these decades. If it were allowed to leave, then Water Blue Star might not have any peaceful days ahead. The threat of a Level 7 Alien Species is indeed a huge hidden danger..."
"Chu He, notify them to have the Godslayer Team quickly set up the firepower network. These guys, holding the most precious resources yet doing nothing all day, I want to see today whether this Godslayer Team can truly slay gods."
Chu He left with the order. This time, the situation required more than just the Third Fleet, and having foreseen this before departure, he suggested the commander borrow the Godslayer Team from the organization for further assurance.
The Godslayer Team members were all a bunch of lunatics, at least in the eyes of others within the organization.
Their origins were quite mysterious, seemingly brought back by the Extreme Star Lord from the Second Universe. These people were powerful, well-equipped, and it was said that once they jointly set up a killing formation, even Transcendent-level Alien Species could be wiped out.
Usually, the Godslayer Team had almost no tasks to execute. They spent all their days nesting in the spiritually rich areas of Rebirth Island cultivation. In their words, those with too weak abilities were not even worthy of their action; it should be handed to others of similar level for practice, which indeed made quite a few people discontented.
But despite the resentment, there was nothing that could be done. The gap in strength was there, and Chu He remembered that several Control-Level veterans once couldn’t stand them being idle all day and planned to compete with them.
The outcome was self-evident. A seemingly harmless young girl from the Godslayer Team stood out and easily knocked them all down, hardly breaking a sweat.
It was then that people first witnessed the strength of the Godslayer Team members, and thereafter, no one mentioned challenging them again. Although they didn’t do much, their skills were genuine, and they simply couldn’t be defeated.
Thus, everyone turned a blind eye to the Godslayer Team. Despite occupying the spiritual eruption points on Rebirth Island, their numbers were thankfully small, not exceeding twenty overall, and they were allowed to be.
In fact, the Godslayer Team hadn’t been established for long, with only less than two years of operation, perhaps due to this reason, and coupled with their lack of frequent interactions with others, they were somewhat isolated.
