Wasteland's Only King

Oak City.

Because of the Pulse Emitter’s interference, what was once a brightly lit city now lay in complete darkness.

Only in the sky, clusters of glaring red lights flickered.

These points of light all came from the Lambert Clan’s mechas, warships, and fortresses.

In the past brief moments,

it was precisely these thousands upon thousands of crimson lights that pressed an unbearable oppression upon the millions of people in Oak City.

Yet, right now.

At this very moment.

The deep, dark sky was illuminated to blinding brilliance by a streak of dazzling radiance.

That streak of light came from the cosmic starry sky beyond Gangval Star.

That stream of light was roaring straight toward Oak City!

“What is that…?”

Countless citizens of Oak City stared, stunned.

On the seventeenth floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building, Ed’s eyes widened, his soul seemingly leaving his body.

Ordinary people couldn’t recognize it, but as the Young Master of the Lambert Clan, how could he not know?

That was clearly…

The mark of an Extraordinary Unlimiter!

Two minutes earlier—

He and over a dozen of the Lambert Clan’s Extraordinary Unlimiters had arrived piercing the sky in just such a manner.

But…

The difference in their entrance was like the faintest fluorescence compared to a radiant moon!

“What Tier?”

“What Tier is this Unlimiter?”

“There isn’t a single Unlimiter of such high Tier on all of Gangval Star!”

Ed screamed inwardly in utter panic.

Inside a bunker a hundred miles away—

His father, the patriarch of the Lambert Clan, the moment he witnessed that stream of light, collapsed utterly to the ground.

He no longer pushed Ed for the command to open fire with the warship fortresses.

Because—

It was completely meaningless.

It wasn’t that this sudden Extraordinary Unlimiter could single-handedly withstand thousands of mechas, warships, and fortresses.

Rather—

Following that shimmer, hot on its heels—so many that they now filled the entire celestial vault—were countless mechas, warships, and fortresses!

Their numbers far surpassed the Lambert Clan’s!

Or rather,

the two sides weren’t even on the same scale for comparison!

Even more terrifying—

was the sheer scale of the warship fortresses!

Through the projection, Lambert watched as fortresses even larger than Oak City itself—colossal enough to blot out the sky—came thundering down onto Gangval Star!

At such a scale, the smallest had to be at least Large, and there might even be Super Large Interstellar Fortresses!

And the Lambert Clan?

Their greatest Interstellar Fortress was barely even medium-sized!

The rest of their fortresses were mostly small or even micro-sized…

“Finished!”

Funi’s father-in-law muttered in despair, lost in a daze.

He had somewhat anticipated a scene like this, which was why he hid in a secret bunker a hundred miles out.

But…

He never imagined—

that Yu Jin’s trump card would be so immense!

The fleet now on the cusp of descending upon Oak City—without exaggeration, even if Gangval Star’s every fleet mobilized, they would be no match!

This had utterly surpassed the Lambert Clan’s comprehension.

This was, through and through…

Dimensional descent!

…

…

Oak City.

Swoosh—!

Under the gaze of countless witnesses,

that awe-inspiring, brilliant light finally arrived!

The radiance halted in midair, just outside the seventeenth floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building.

The brilliance faded.

What emerged was a slender silhouette.

“A woman?”

“An actual female boss-level powerful being?”

The million residents of Oak City were shocked again.

And atop the seventeenth floor,

Funi, Ed, Aliya, and the others unconsciously held their breath tight.

They carefully sized up the woman stepping lightly through empty air nearby.

She had a head of snow-white hair cascading down to her waist.

Though it was deep night, yet by moonlight, one could still see her beauty—a flawless, exquisite face almost too perfect to behold.

But more than her looks,

what left a deeper impression was the innate aura of holiness she seemed to carry in her very bones.

She stood there—as if an Angel from legend had descended upon the mortal world.

Buzz—

BZZZZ—!

The ’Angel’ was none other than Venicca, from Heaven Star, who had crossed countless light-years just to follow Yu Jin.

At that moment, also entering Gangval Star from the distant starry sky, was the Celestial Fleet under her command.

The night was silent; all fell speechless.

Ed’s heart pounded madly; he dared not look again upon Venicca.

Funi stared with wide eyes, turning to Yu Jin.

Aliya covered her mouth, emotions surging tumultuously in her eyes.

But—

The next moment,

all their reactions turned to utter shock and numbness.

Shock and numbness that ran from head to toe.

For—

After Venicca appeared, and her gaze locked onto Yu Jin before the sofa,

“My Lord—!”

She actually bowed and shouted out before millions in Oak City.

On that angelic face was utter devotion and fanaticism.

Her two simple words echoed throughout all of Oak City.

No—not just there!

Even high above, the Celestial Fleet about to descend upon Oak City, all heard that earth-shattering cry.

“Lady Venicca!”

“This…”

“My Lord?”

“Who is that young man?!”

“Is this… the one Lady Venicca spoke of…?”

“The future even more radiant and brilliant than a central star…?”

Countless members of the Celestial Fleet were even more bewildered than Oak City’s citizens.

But…

It was only confusion—not disloyalty.

Because before departing Heaven Star, Venicca had already screened the fleet.

The disloyal had long since been purged.

Those who remained were mostly absolutely loyal combat mechas, and diehard warriors nurtured by the Riel Clan for years.

Seventeenth floor of the building.

Yu Jin’s gaze also landed on this Governor of Heaven Star.

Long ago, the moment he’d received the reward, he’d known of Venicca’s existence.

But…

This was their first time meeting face-to-face.
