Shadows of the Deep Space

“Indeed, to show off is to court death!”

Roglian nodded in agreement.

The starry sky outside the Cui Lan Star Defense Line.

Inside the center of the Erosion Sun Fortress.

Fadale reported to Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader.

“Lord Elorazad, the latest news! Forces from the Chilami and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country were injured at the Nether Moon Star Defense Line, and the Federation’s Admiral Su Ming has killed Asya Captain of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.”

“What did you say? Asya has been killed by Su Ming?”

Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader was also quite surprised upon hearing this news.

“That’s right.”

Fadale replied in a deep voice.

“Not killing that Su Ming bastard at the time was a mistake.”

“Lord, the Federation is growing faster and faster, we need to seize the time to attack.”

“Nonsense, do you think I don’t know?”

Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader said irritably.

At this moment, a VI-type Heroic Level Elder Temshi flew in. It had a horrifying hundred-meter-tall mechanical flying insect form, its sinister head covered with ruby-like mechanical eyes, a mouth split open revealing rows of mechanical fangs, its entire body made of special black metal, and special patterns covering its body, with a dark red spark embedded in its chest and sharp claws emitting a special glow.

Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader turned his head and saw Elder Temshi, speaking with a ferocious tone.

“Temshi, why are you just arriving now?”

“I was delayed by some matters.”

Temshi replied hoarsely.

“Humph, I won’t hold it against you now, where are Cattan and the others?”

Elorazad turned to look around but didn’t see any other elders, so he asked.

The Mechanical Clan, like the Chilami Clan, had a total of five elders, all VI-type Heroic Level beings.

“Stop looking, they won’t be coming.”

Temshi replied hoarsely.

“What did you say?”

Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader asked angrily upon hearing Temshi’s words.

“They’ve gone to another universe.”

Temshi replied in a deep voice.

“What? Daring to ignore the Clan Leader’s orders!”

Elorazad almost spat out blood upon hearing Temshi’s words; those bastards had actually fled.

Of course, Elorazad himself wanted to escape too, but unfortunately, his Mechanical Spark was being held by the Clan Leader; if he abandoned that part of the Mechanical Spark, he would either die or be crippled, essentially ruining any hopes of promotion for his lifetime.

“Talking about it now is pointless, they might have run far away by now.”

Elder Temshi was also quite frustrated; those fellows had fled without him.

“Damned Golden Giant God·Kemovaniu then!”

Elorazad furiously asked.

“I can’t reach him, I’ve tried sending multiple messages with no response.”

Elder Temshi replied in a deep voice.

Fadale was a bit stunned hearing Elder Temshi’s words; with only one of the five elders from the Mechanical Clan showing up, how were they supposed to fight this battle?

Elorazad immediately roared angrily.

“That bastard Kemovaniu!”

“Lord Elorazad, being angry now won’t help, think about what to do next?”

Temshi urged Elorazad.

“You’re asking me, who should I ask? The war has reached this point, and only one of the five elders has come; Pamie, responsible for command, hasn’t been seen at all.”

Elorazad was about to explode in rage; with no one in place, he was the only one foolishly leading the troops to attack, suffering massive losses.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded.

“Elorazad, why are you in a hurry?”

As Elorazad and Temshi heard that voice, they turned to see Pamie entering.

“Pamie, what are you playing at, showing up now when the war has been going on for so long?”

“What’s the rush to fight in? The first to enter the heartland of the Federation is just a target. Let the Dark Star Empire, the Chilami, and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country play cannon fodder, why not?”

Pamie replied coldly.

“Humph, Asya has been killed, and you still expect those two groups of fools to break in?”

Elorazad said disdainfully.

“They’re not as weak as you think; they’ll eventually break in, we just need to wait.”

“Pamie, I warn you, if this war goes wrong and the Clan Leader blames us, not even you will be spared.”

“If you’re already this lacking in confidence, what’s the point of fighting?”

Pamie replied unmoved.

“You!”

Elorazad was even more enraged upon hearing Pamie’s words, feeling belittled.

Seeing the two about to argue, Temshi quickly intervened to persuade them.

“Lord Elorazad, Lord Pamie, don’t argue, calm down! We’re all in this together; if things go wrong and we can’t answer to the Clan Leader, our sparks will all be in jeopardy!”

“Fine, I’ll do as you suggest. I want to see what tricks you, the reputedly omnipotent God of Wisdom, can pull off. If this goes wrong, I won’t even wait for the Clan Leader to act; I’ll deal with you first!”

Elorazad warned viciously.

“Suit yourself.”

Pamie replied coldly.
