Chapter 941: Chapter 655: Huge Loss! Chapter 941: Chapter 655: Huge Loss! The originally pure white center of the Milky Way began to darken gradually, as the enormous black hole devoured everything at the center of the galaxy, not even the rays of light could escape its grasp.
When the Tribunal Fleet withdrew from the Orion Arm, the core of the Milky Way had completely turned pitch black–with only a white halo remaining at the edges.
As for the cosmic monsters within, they were naturally all wiped out.
Upon receiving the news that all monsters had been destroyed and that Amano Kazumi and Takano Fuji had also safely returned, everyone was ecstatic, cheering loudly.
However, Duanmu Huai at this moment was……
“What a huge loss ahhhhhhhh!!”
Falling to his knees in his own room, Duanmu Huai was utterly defeated.
The reason was quite simple, it lay in the system notification before his eyes.
[Main Mission “Omen of Destruction” Complete]
[Mission Evaluation: C]
[Mission Reward: Fleet, Exelion Prestige Elevated to Worship]
[Additional Mission Reward (Technology Increase +1): Steelpasta Neural Sensor]
Seeing the mission rewards, Duanmu Huai was brought to his knees.
The so-called Steelpasta Neural Sensor was the cockpit that Takano Fuji and Amano Kazumi used. Their cockpit was not like those in mechas such as Gundam, where the pilot sits inside manipulating remote controls and keyboards to move the mecha. Instead, their cockpit contained a construction of several neural sensors connected to form something like an iron hoop. The two of them would stand inside it.
Simply put, it was like a neural synchronization device–whatever move the pilot inside made, Steelpasta would do the same; whatever skill the pilot wanted to use, Steelpasta would use it too. If the pilot inside performed Swan Lake live, the Steelpasta outside would also spin on the spot for you.
Compared to a mecha system that required keyboard, mouse, and remote control, which might even throw up a blue screen with the words “System upgrade, automatic restart in ten seconds” during battle, Steelpasta's control system was leagues ahead.
But for Duanmu Huai, what the hell use did he have for this thing!?
You could at least give me a Contraction Furnace, or Arutelimu particle manufacturing technology… giving me this thing, I don't even pilot mechas…
Duanmu Huai felt like crying.
This time the Tribunal had lost nearly three fleets, and continuously “reshuffling from the graveyard” had cost him a lot of experience, so the experience gained from Rose was now only half. Duanmu Huai even began to doubt whether this expedition had been worth it at all… Well, of course, it was still worthwhile considering the objective alone.
With that thought, Duanmu Huai reached out to swipe through the system, and another line of system notifications appeared in front of him.
[Ascension Catastrophe First Phase Complete!]
[Player has reached the “Somewhat Threatening” stage]
[Opening Second Phase “Not to be Ignored” Challenge]
[Activating Ascension Mission “Resetter”]
[Mission Objective: Destroy and annihilate at least five civilized races (imagine an entire species full of vitality and ambition–such existence must be contained)]
[Mission Completion: 1/5 (Drow Elf has been annihilated)]
“Need to take the second phase slowly,” Duanmu Huai said.
Looking at the mission notifications before him, Duanmu Huai sighed. Unfortunately, the races annihilated by the Reapers from the Divine Assembly did not count towards his record, whereas the Drow did–well, since he had even taken down the Drow's racial deity, that race naturally bit the dust as well.
From this viewpoint, to accomplish the second target, the best course of action was to head to Faelun. After all, most races on Faelun had their Guardian Gods. If he declared war on a race and then took down their Guardian Gods, he would be able to complete the mission… Yes, that fits perfectly with the Tribunal's purpose. That's the plan then.
However……
Duanmu Huai glanced over the progress of the “Ascension Catastrophe,” finding the challenges “Not to be Ignored” and “Thorn in Back” manageable, but “Star Ocean Punishment” was going to be troublesome since, in this mission, Duanmu Huai would have to face three calamities of the same level–[The Solemn Accord], [High-Dimensional Invasion], and [Void Swarm]–and must fully exterminate them to prove his power as [The Fourth Disaster], and then proceed to the final stage [Life and Death Foe]……
…It's still a long way off, take it slow.
Even though he didn't meet his expectations, Duanmu Huai didn't particularly mind. It was like pulling ten consecutive gacha rolls; everyone hopes for three golds from ten pulls, but the reality is it's good enough if you just get a guaranteed minimum without any errors…
Ultimately, Duanmu Huai, though with regret, exchanged for a blueprint to manufacture a Contraction Furnace from the Prestige Shop. Although it was expensive, the Contraction Furnace was indeed a great item. Not only could it power individual soldiers, but it could also drive warships, and if beaten in battle, it could even be used as a critical Black Hole Bomb; three birds with one stone. Of course, the thing wasn't easy to manufacture… But for Duanmu Huai, the raw materials were not too difficult to obtain.
For now, it was best to send it to the library for analysis.
After celebrating another escape from catastrophe for humanity, it was time for everyone to part ways.
“Well then, it's all up to you guys now. Good luck,” Duanmu Huai said.
Looking at the people before him, Duanmu Huai reached out to pat their shoulders; Jiezi, Amari, and Yaz's mechas had also been considerably damaged in the previous fights, needing repair and maintenance at the fleet. As Duanmu Huai was going to take his fleet back to rest and recuperate for a while, the three girls decided to stay aboard the fleet for the time being. Of course, Yaz was overjoyed–at least aboard the fleet, she didn't have to follow the orders of PLANT.
