Chapter 1076: The Green-Skinned Ones
Chapter 1076: The Green-Skinned Ones
“I’ll head back.” Ailijie appeared beside Su Yu and Tina through a portal. “You two are already busy with the command, so it’s better for me to return to see Morningstar.”
“Alright, tell Morningstar I’ll take care of this Alice for her!” Su Yu said seriously.
Su Yu could tell that Morningstar had developed a significant psychological shadow from the battle with Alice. If he were in her shoes, being bullied so badly by someone of the same rank would definitely leave a deep scar.
So, he had to find a way to deal with Alice, to prevent Morningstar from being too heavily affected by the psychological trauma.
“Alright, you two continue with the command.” Ailijie nodded gently. She then cast another portal and left the Xuanwu node, heading to the second line of defense where the game helmets were located.
...
Meanwhile, in the Skrull army formation.
Alice pushed aside the chaotic psychic energy waves and quickly reached the location where Morningstar had fallen. She extended her small hand and waved it lightly, and a palm-sized, completely transparent crystalline object, resembling a large droplet of water, appeared in her palm.
She slowly placed the crystal at the spot where Morningstar had fallen and input several streams of psychic energy into it. After the energy was input, the crystal immediately exploded, transforming into countless tiny particles that quickly dispersed over a hundred-meter radius.
Each particle was about the size of a raindrop, crystal clear, and quite beautiful. After dispersing over the surrounding area, the particles began to spiral, as if they were absorbing something.
Once they had absorbed enough, the particles quickly returned and reformed into the palm-sized, completely transparent crystal in front of Alice. However, this crystal was now different from the original one.
While both were transparent, the original crystal had no color, like a large droplet of water. The new crystal, however, was filled with a starlight-like color, identical to the color of Morningstar’s fur!
The crystal Alice used was called a "Polymer Absorption Crystal." In their Melrand Academy, it was a common item that could be obtained for 100 academic points.
She used this crystal to collect all the residual matter, aura, and psychic energy information left behind by Morningstar after her fall. This information was incredibly useful, as deeper analysis in the future could provide valuable insights into the top-tier mechanics of the "Evolution" game.
Feeling the specks of starlight in the crystal, Alice closed her eyes in satisfaction.
At the same time, she noticed that the nearby Skrull army and the Skrull deities were all watching her. The soldiers in the army often looked at her with a mix of fear and anger, while the Skrull deities had more complex expressions, mostly filled with awe.
Alice’s performance had far exceeded the Skrull deities’ expectations. Even the four deities who had acted alongside her—Hiber, Stym, Othas, and the Mermaid Queen—admitted to themselves that they couldn’t have achieved the same results.
Hiber, Othas, and the Mermaid Queen, being lower-tier deities, would likely have been outmaneuvered if they had pursued Morningstar, as demonstrated by Lei’s failure.
Stym, a mid-tier deity close to breaking through to the upper tier, would also have found it difficult to achieve the same results if he had been in Alice’s position. He wouldn’t have been able to push Morningstar to such a desperate state.
This led the four deities to simultaneously wonder: "Is Alice’s strength really just that of a lower-tier deity?"
"Could she be hiding her true strength?"
Elys watched the Skrull soldiers' curious gazes and almost opened her mouth to spin a few more lies, such as, "My technique is particularly effective against Morning Star," or "The weapon I use is very effective against Morning Star, which is why I could suppress her so easily."
But after a moment of consideration, she realized that the more she explained, the more suspicious the Skrulls would become. So, Elys decided not to explain at all and let their imagination run wild.
She lazily waved her hand, "Alright, my job is done. I need to head back to HQ to rest and recover. Skrulls, don't forget the reward you promised!"
"Don't worry, we won't forget," AI Syblue's emotionless voice echoed beside her.
Of course, Manina had instructed it to say that.
In the command center, Manina heard the term "green-skinned people" and felt a twinge of irritation. He really disliked that term. Why not call us Skrulls? "Green-skinned people" sounds so derogatory!
But he had too many pressing issues to dwell on this for too long.
"Your Majesty, Miss Elys's strength might not be as simple as it seems!" Lanchi said, his eyes fixed on the screen where Elys had just disappeared, a worried expression on his face.
"I can see that," Manina said gravely. "To force Morning Star into such a desperate situation, her strength can't be as simple as she appears."
"But didn't Saint Song clearly state that she was a lower-level deity?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's secretly hiding her true strength, or perhaps her technique is particularly effective against Morning Star."
After a moment of thought, Manina concluded, "Regardless, Elys's strength being high is a good thing for us. And with Morning Star's problem solved, she won't dare to act so recklessly after her resurrection."
"True," Lanchi agreed.
Elys's formidable strength was indeed beneficial for them, though it was unfortunate for the allied soldiers who were caught in the crossfire.
"Let's not dwell on this. Let's focus on the main battlefield," Manina changed the subject.
Discussing this further was pointless now. It was better to talk about other matters.
"Syblue, have you finished the calculation I asked you to do?" Manina inquired.
Just ten minutes ago, Manina had instructed AI Syblue to estimate the approximate time it would take for the Skrull Alliance to breach the first line of defense.
Given the current war situation, Manina couldn't estimate this himself, so he had to rely on the AI for a rough calculation.
At the time, Syblue had said it would take ten minutes to compute the result, and now that the time had passed, the calculation should be complete.
"Your Majesty," Syblue's unchanging voice sounded beside him. "The calculation is complete.
The Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array is augmenting the enemy more than we anticipated, while our fleet's offensive against such an array is somewhat weak. According to my calculations, it will take approximately 15 Earth days to break through the first line of defense of the Blue Star people."
"15 days?" Manina furrowed his brow.
That was too long for him. He didn't want to waste so much time on the first line of defense.
"Since that's the case..." Manina thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "Inform Morgan and the Student Association to execute the 'Fission Plan.' Using this should significantly speed up the process."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
