Chapter 1053: The Defense Net Sealed
Chapter 1053: The Defense Net Sealed
"Should these materials satisfy Lord Darak?"
Alyss nimbly hopped off her seat and let out a cute yawn. "Ah! I hope Lord Darak comes soon. It’s such a bother to act so lively when you’re my age."
Ding~ Ding~
At that moment, her wrist communicator suddenly beeped.
Glancing at the display, she saw it was her student, Morgen Leysun, calling.
Without much thought, Alyss directly answered the call.
"Teacher," Morgen Leysun's voice came through the line, a bit nervous. "Is the plan going smoothly?"
"Everything is going smoothly." Alyss squinted her eyes and lazily replied, "The modified probe successfully crashed into the Yan Mountain Base’s defense shield and obtained a lot of data."
"Really? That’s great!" Morgen Leysun's spirits lifted.
If the teacher said she got "a lot," that basically meant she had a full view of the headquarters.
Before, the Yan Mountain Base had a shield, and the Skrullians had no idea what was inside.
Morgen Leysun's ambition wasn't just to usurp a position; he wanted to sit in the "Skrullian Leader" seat and win this war.
That's why the data from the Yan Mountain Base was so valuable.
I didn't expect the teacher to pull it off so easily!
"Thank you, Teacher!" Morgen Leysun hurriedly thanked.
"No need to thank me." Alyss lazily responded. "By the way, where are you now?"
"I'm already back on Skrull, just emerged from the spatial rift not long ago."
"Then come to me, and we'll look at the data together."
"Sure, I'll be right there."
After finishing the call, Alyss hung up.
As for her controlling the micro-robots to observe the Saint Silver Fleet, she had completely concealed it.
When her adorable student eventually finds out she’s an undercover agent sent by the Dark Energy Rebellion, his jaw will drop, Alyss merrily thought.
...
On the Human side of the Blue Star.
Two hours later, over twenty Blue Star high-ranking cultivators from various regions gathered in the sky above Tokyo in Rainbow Island.
They had just pursued the Skrullians' probes.
These small probes and micro-robots had extremely high speed and magical resistance, requiring cultivators of at least the Seventh Rank to successfully chase them down.
After a significant effort, the over twenty Seventh Rank and above cultivators from the Blue Star finally managed to destroy all the probes and robots.
With everything cleared, they returned to the sky above Tokyo to discuss the next steps.
Above Tokyo, looking down at the desolate city, Fuji Chihana's expression turned grim.
Two years ago, this was a bustling city, ranking among the top in the world.
But now, the Tokyo area is filled with ruins.
Six months ago, during the "Gravity Leak" incident, Tokyo suffered a heavy blow, and most of the residents were killed by the monsters.
Now, the remaining survivors have left the city, moving to the vast, sparsely populated continent in North America, leaving the entire city a ghost town.
Looking down at the desolate Tokyo, all she could see was a wasteland, devoid of any human activity. Every time she saw the city's tragic state, Fuji Chihana felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Standing not far from her, Xu Xiaotian could clearly sense her pain.
Xiaotian gently flew over, beside her, and softly consoled, "Don't be sad, big sister with pink hair. We must look forward. Once we defeat the Skrullians, I believe this place will come back to life."
"Thank you," Fujiwara Chika managed to force a smile, but tears still slipped down her cheeks.
But for the as as the Prime Minister of Nihong, she needed to pull herself together! Fujiwara Chika took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the negative emotions in her heart.
She looked at the silent Su Yu at the front of the crowd and asked, "Mr. Ke, what should we do next?"
Su Yu stroked his chin and replied, "Of course, we wait for the Tashin Defense Web to form. Once it's complete, we'll familiarize ourselves with the web and test its strength."
"Alright," Fujiwara Chika nodded slightly, glancing around.
At this moment, the golden threads extending from the Tashin Defense Web were almost touching the ground.
Fujiwara Chika activated the Vision Skill of her Shaman class, allowing her to clearly see that the ends of the golden threads were only a couple of hundred meters from the ground and sea level. It would take about a minute or two for them to make contact.
She turned back to Su Yu, "So, once the golden threads touch the ground, the defense web will be fully formed, right?"
"No, that's not the case. Touching the ground is only half the process," Su Yu immediately shook his head.
He looked at everyone and explained, "After the Tashin Defense Web touches the ground, the golden threads need to pass through the surface and form a closed loop underground. Only then will the defense web be completely formed.
Imagine a birdcag in the Imperial Capital of Huaxia. Right now, the defense web is like having only the net of the birdcage without the bottom. Once the bottom is also fully connected, that's when the defense web will be completely formed."
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing Su Yu's birdcage analogy, everyone immediately understood.
Actually, if you think about it.
If the defense web only had the net and no bottom, the Skrell could easily dig tunnels to break through the defense. With the Skrell's technology, digging dozens or even a hundred tunnels in a short time would be no problem at all, making the Tashin Defense Web a laughingstock.
The defense web only has meaning when it's completely enclosed underground.
"Mr. Ke," after understanding, Fujiwara Chika asked again, "how long will it take for the defense web to be fully enclosed?"
"Hmm..." Su Yu thought for a moment and answered, "Probably another two hours or so."
"Ah, then we'll just have to wait," Fujiwara Chika sighed softly.
She turned to face all the high-ranking cultivators present and respectfully said, "Since the defense web still needs two hours to be fully enclosed, why don't all of you head to the Kyoto headquarters to rest first? Those who haven't used up today's game time can log in and avoid wasting time."
Fujiwara Chika spoke these words in Huaxian, but with a heavy Nihong accent, making it clear she was from Nihong.
"Very well," many of the seniors readily agreed.
These two hours, they could log into the game, after all, two hours in the game equaled one day in the real world.
But right then, Su Yu suddenly said, "Everyone, why don't we wait a moment. I'll take you all to a place. Once we see it, we can log into the game afterward without any delay."
"A place? Where are we going?" Zhong Feng interjected with a hint of curiosity.
Su Yu smiled and responded, "To the southwest coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture."
...
Five minutes later, the southwest coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Seventh-stage cultivators' flight speed was very fast. Even newly ascended seventh-stage cultivators could fly at six times the speed of sound.
Tokyo was about 830 kilometers away from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
With Su Yu and the other eighth-stage experts leading the way, the group smoothly arrived at the southwestern corner of Yamaguchi Prefecture's coastline in just five minutes.
