Chapter 2077 - 1611: Sorrow (Part 2)

"Oh....."

Su Mo was about to say something.

Suddenly, a crew member responsible for operations, exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh?"

Su Mo turned his head to look over, only to see a white notification box pop up.

"Notification: Collision detected."

"What happened?"

Su Mo immediately inquired.

"I’m not sure, Lord Su Mo, the ship seems to have collided with something."

The operator quickly responded.

"That’s not difficult, I’ll open the image capture device to replay it."

Sun Duoxiang, feeling bored, took the initiative to input commands.

Soon, a holographic image appeared, and everyone looked over. They could clearly see Catastrophe Shadow speeding along, followed by a black dot crashing into it, which immediately shattered into pieces.

Sun Duoxiang, increasingly intrigued, immediately rewound and zoomed in on the image.

A very primitive, low-level probe appeared, using the most basic solar panels. There was a nozzle at the end, and its size was quite bulky.

"Haha, I thought it was something significant, turns out it’s just a probe. So low-level, looks like a toy."

Sun Duoxiang burst into laughter.

At this moment, Derim reported: "Lord Su Mo, we’ve spotted a low-level Suitable Star up ahead, civilization level at 0.7."

"This probe must have been launched by them, cracks me up."

Thinking of the low-level gadget made Sun Duoxiang laugh heartily again.

"Alright, stop laughing. It’s as if we didn’t come from that level of civilization."

Su Mo frowned slightly and said.

Hearing this, Sun Duoxiang’s smile froze, and he quickly replied: "Boss is right."

"Continue the journey, ignore the trivial matters."

Su Mo waved his hand and gave the command.

"Understood!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Revalclus Base outer space.

Star Ring City floated in space, in front of it Magic Cube Fortress, Dust Fortress, Kedora Fortress, and Black and White Limit Fortress floated, with each fortress backed by an array of Standard Level Star Destroyers, and behind them were rows of Battleships and masses of Mecha.

All elite forces of Star Ring City were fully assembled, with these troops having undergone strict selection.

At this moment, Icaroya appeared in Divine Grace Square as the entire square began to rise.

Icaroya sat on the high platform of the square, gazing coldly at the assembled forces before her, her piercing eyes slightly shifting.

Her holographic image was now displayed in front of all NCOs and soldiers.

Icaroya declared sternly: "Standing here signifies you are the most excellent personnel of Star Ring City, and I am proud of you. We are about to engage on Negative God Star, concluding Heavenly Cup with a definitive end. Before that, let me repeat: this operation contains extreme risks, so profound that you must bear the resolve of certain death, putting life aside. If any of you waver now, don’t feel ashamed, immediately step back. This is your last chance I offer, if you don’t withdraw now and retreat during battle, that equates to death!"

"We shall follow Lady Icaroya unto death, unwavering!"

Countless NCOs and soldiers shouted with determined eyes.

Icaroya gazed at all the returned images, seeing their steadfast eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved her hand.

"Set off, Negative God Star!"

Radiant City · City Lord’s Mansion

Lady Goli sat at the desk, reviewing the submitted casualty summary sheet.

Looking at the numbers on it, Lady Goli felt her breath become somewhat constrained.

At this time, vague sounds of protest reached her ears, further unsettling her, prompting her to lift her electronic bracelet and send a voice message.

"Kunna, come in for a moment."

Shortly after, the door was pushed open, and Kunna walked in sternly.

"The protests outside still ongoing?"

"Impossible to stop completely, but don’t worry, Lady Goli, they won’t make any waves. Besides, we owe them nothing, there’s no reason to give them massive ships free of charge. They only feel safe causing a fuss in front of you due to your good nature, if it were Lady Icaroya, they wouldn’t dare shout at the doorstep."

Talking about it made Kunna so angry, ever since the Negative Energy Tide Impact ended, nations started a fresh wave of escape frenzy.

Due to insufficient ships, many gathered at the City Lord’s Mansion protesting, demanding Lady Goli donate all ships freely.

"That’s not how it should be said, they merely seek survival, no right or wrong. Alas, I indeed have no spare ships, otherwise gifting them would be acceptable. Furthermore, such large-scale migration isn’t necessarily the right choice, one must consider the Zero Star Domain isn’t the safest place."

Lady Goli sighed gently and remarked.

"Well...."

Kunna also listened, headache looming, unsure what to do.

At this moment, urgent footsteps approached, and soon an NCO rushed in excitedly.

"Lady Goli, bad news!"

"What happened?"

Lady Goli’s heart sank, she asked.

"Someone posted coordinates of a region within Zero Star Domain on the Star Ring Forum; it’s very safe without threats, and there’s a stable star suitable for habitation, allowing large artificial planets. Now the entire forum exploded, citizens from various nations are in turmoil, petitioning for Radiant City to provide ships for departure, things are spiraling out of control."
