Shadows of the Deep Space

“What agreement?”

“Each of us breaks into the Federation by our own abilities. Whoever gets the Dimension Stone first, it belongs to them!”

“Alright, it’s a deal!”

Herares immediately agreed.

Of course, how reliable this agreement was, maybe only the two of them knew.

After Mirrog Clan Leader finished making the pact, he tore open space and stepped through it to leave.

At this moment Herares’ dignified voice rang out again.

“Pami, come out!”

“Clan Leader, sir.”

Pami immediately walked out and spoke respectfully.

“Isn’t it about time for your little performance?”

Herares Clan Leader asked coldly.

Pami’s heart sank at once, and he answered unwillingly.

“Yes!”

…

———————————————-

To the rear of the Black Flame Star Defense Line.

The starry sky suddenly rippled faintly out of nowhere, and then the Void Eye Fortress silently surfaced.

Inside the Void Fortress central control room.

Pami stood on the observation deck, looking toward the distant Black Flame Star Defense Line, his electronic eyes flashing nonstop.

At this time Kross, the Mechanic Master, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, walked up beside Pami, glanced toward the distant Black Flame Star Defense Line, and asked in some confusion.

“What are we here for? Don’t tell me you’re going to attack the Black Flame Star Defense Line?”

“All four forces are loitering outside and won’t go in. How is this game supposed to continue like that? So I can only make a move and give them a little help.”

Pami was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a hoarse voice.

Of course Pami would never tell Kroos that the reason he was acting now was because Mirog had forced his hand.

In fact, breaking the balance now and letting all the forces pour in did not fit his plan at all, but at this point it was no longer up to him.

“Fair enough.”

Kroos replied with a grin.

Pami didn’t say anything more. He walked down from the observation deck and headed straight for the central control console.

Fizz~

Pami’s eyes lit up.

The Void Eye Fortress slowly opened a large number of honeycomb ports.

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless Mechanical Octopus drones flew out, spreading around the Void Eye to unfold a gigantic camouflage firmament.

At this moment the Void Eye shed its own cloak; the massive fortress surface split open like a flower bud, revealing a gigantic Mechanical Eye within.

Then Pami instantly erupted with power, one purple halo after another appearing around his whole body.

The entire Void Eye Fortress pushed its power output to maximum.

In an instant the huge Mechanical Eye burst with dazzling radiance, and the surrounding space twisted violently.

Kroos was stunned by the sight as well, watching on with great anticipation.

The next second!

The virtual interface in Pami’s eyes instantly locked onto Black Flame Star and all defensive weapons around it.

Shua!

The Void Eye Fortress suddenly pulsed, sending out an invisible wave spreading toward the Black Flame Star Defense Line, and then everything returned to calm.

Kroos was slightly taken aback and asked.

“What kind of attack was that? Doesn’t look like it did anything.”

Pami did not answer Kroos; he just quietly watched the distance.

…

Black Flame Star Defense Line.

At this moment the Dark Star Empire soldiers surged forward like a tide, shouting slogans as they charged the Black Flame Star Defense Line like moths to a flame.

On the Black Flame Star Defense Line, the densely packed Crystal Origin Fortresses, Light Annihilation cannons and other defensive weapons were spewing out frenzied barrages!

Swish swish!

Beams and missiles filled the sky, lashing down on the Imperial Army like a storm of rain.

Rumble~

Mecha of the Dark Star Empire exploded one after another.

But even with their comrades being blown apart beside them, the Dark Star Empire soldiers still charged forward fearlessly.

“Quick, stop them!”

The Sky Dome City soldiers in charge of defense piloted their Mecha to intercept.

Some of the Dark Star Empire soldiers who were blocked, seeing no hope of breaking through, directly activated the heavy bombs they carried and died together with the Sky Dome City soldiers.

Even so, the Sky Dome City soldiers were not cowed; instead they fought even more desperately to block the advance.

But there were still some Dark Star Empire soldiers who slipped through the net, breaking past layer after layer of obstruction, managing to get close to those defensive weapons. They then detonated the explosive bomb they carried, destroying some of the defenses, though the overall result was far from ideal.

Sakari, piloting the Blade of Death, was locked in combat with Mo Xiu while watching the frontal battlefield out of the corner of his eye. Seeing how poor the results of the assault were, his expression turned extremely ugly.

At this moment Black Flame Star’s main cannon lit up again, countless launch ports opening once more, like a terrifying steel behemoth opening its maw to bare its sharp fangs.

Sakari saw this and immediately shouted a warning over the comms channel.

“Everyone, get clear!”

The many Dark Star Empire soldiers were all shocked. Every time Black Flame Star went berserk, it was like a doomsday baptism.

Yet just then, a sudden change occurred: the light of Black Flame Star’s main cannon abruptly went out, and a huge number of weapons along the defense line suddenly went offline and ceased firing!

Inside Black Flame Star’s central control room.

On the operation screens, error pop-up windows suddenly started flickering everywhere.

“What’s going on? Why is the system malfunctioning?”

The many operators were startled.

Lord Rosaga and the others were dumbfounded as well, and immediately shouted.

“Quick, fix the errors!”

“Yes!”

The operators hurriedly keyed in emergency commands.

Bang~

In an instant the console short-circuited, sparks flying everywhere.

The operation screens went dark.

“It’s over, it’s shorted out!”

The operators cried out in panic.

…

In the starry sky.

The many Dark Star Empire soldiers were all stunned by the sudden turn of events.

The Federation soldiers were also dumbstruck.

Sakari reacted at once and gave an order over the comms channel.

“The Federation’s weapons are malfunctioning. This is our chance, everyone attack with everything you’ve got!”
