Chapter 1098: No Way
Chapter 1098: No Way
"Uh, I didn't mean to..." Su Yu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.
He had just casually used a common saying, but it seemed to have been inappropriate.
He had to be more careful in the future; otherwise, Prime Minister Cao would likely be displeased.
Quickly connecting a video call with Tang Na, Su Yu got straight to the point, "Sister Tang Na, what did Saint Song say?"
Tang Na's tone was peculiar, "Saint Song only replied with one word."
"What word? Is it the name of some advanced defensive technology?"
Su Yu had already begun imagining Saint Song providing them with the most advanced defensive technology, even planning out how to use it.
"It's not that. Saint Song used a very ordinary word."
"Which word?"
"It's 'No Way.'" Tang Na replied, "Saint Song's response was just this one word—'No Way.'"
Su Yu: "..."
Not only was Su Yu speechless, but so were Zhong Feng, Tina, and Prime Minister Cao, who were all watching the situation.
Was Saint Song being too capricious? The tone of the response felt like that of a spoiled girlfriend.
"Uh..." It took Su Yu a moment to react, "Did Saint Song really say that?"
"Of course, do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke around like that?" Tang Na rolled her eyes, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I'll contact you again if anything else happens."
With that, Tang Na ended the call.
...
Staring at the now blank video call screen, Su Yu was speechless for a long time.
After a while, his expression changed several times before he sighed, "Sigh, it looks like we have no choice but to accept it."
As the highest judge, if Saint Song said no, then no it was. They had no way to change it.
The only way to challenge Saint Song would be to contact a civilization even higher, a Super-Galactic Civilization, the Singer Civilization. However, Su Yu didn't have their contact information, so there was nothing he could do.
"Yeah, we have no choice." Zhong Feng agreed, "We'll just have to act like there was no compensation."
"It's not just the lack of compensation," Tina interjected, "We also lost an AI system, which is a significant loss!"
The AI Blue Whale had cost Su Yu 2500 credits and, after extensive training, had a deep understanding of most of Blue Star's knowledge. It played an irreplaceable role in large-scale command across continents and the overall planning of the planet.
One could even say that the AI Blue Whale was more useful than a team of ten thousand elite advisors!
Now, all that remained was its communication function, and their loss was truly significant.
"But not necessarily," Su Yu murmured, looking at the electronic terminal on his wrist. The cover image was a curve graph given to him by Blue Whale, clearly noting that the probability of the AI system upgrading within a month was 0.04%.
What if a miracle happened? What if Blue Whale really did complete its upgrade within a month?
...
Just as Su Yu was lost in thought, Zhong Feng suddenly patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry about that now, look at those towers!"
Zhong Feng pointed ahead.
He was pointing to the six disintegration ray towers built by the Skrullians.
Now, the "big eyes" at the tops of the six towers were slowly rotating due to the towers' bodies, and the core of these "big eyes" was emitting a dense, dark green light.
This indicated that the six disintegration ray towers were nearly fully charged, and an attack was imminent!
"Enemy disintegration ray towers are about to complete their charging. Everyone, start the evacuation according to the plan!" Su Yu used his psychic power to broadcast this message, and all the high-level experts at the eastern, western, and southern nodes quickly received it.
Upon receiving the message, everyone's hearts sank, and they swiftly began to retreat according to the original plan.
It wasn't long before the first line of defense was completely abandoned, with all high-ranking powerhouses evacuating.
...
On the Skrull side, the moment the six disintegration ray towers completed their charging, Manina wasted no time in issuing the command to release.
Six massive, yellow-green beams erupted from the giant "eyes" atop the towers, their jagged lines converging on the Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array.
At the same time, Manina issued the order for a full-scale assault.
The Skrull fleet and high-ranking powerhouses unleashed their attacks simultaneously, all aimed at the Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array.
Meanwhile, the humans of Earth had already evacuated from the first line of defense.
The outcome was predictable.
The "well-worn" Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array could not withstand the Skrulls' concentrated and devastating firepower.
Under the relentless bombardment of energy, the array held for less than a minute before shattering with a deafening boom. The massive defensive wall constructed by the humans crumbled into dust under the violent energy assault.
Boom—Boom—
From a position over ten kilometers behind the front lines, Su Yu and the high-ranking powerhouses who had retreated could feel the astonishing release of energy behind them. The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, and even the sky and clouds above trembled.
In the past, the energy and explosions from the battles had been contained within the 100 square kilometers of the Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array. No matter how intense the fighting, the outside world remained peaceful and serene.
But now, things were different.
The rupture of the Four Symbols Array was like igniting a massive firecracker inside a sealed bottle. The explosion shattered the bottle, sending fragments flying in all directions, wreaking havoc over a vast area.
The accumulated energy within the Four Symbols Array erupted, causing the entire country of Nihon to tremble.
Soon, a powerful earthquake with its epicenter at Mount Fuji erupted, and if there had been seismometers, they would have recorded a magnitude of over 12! The ground was moving up and down at a speed of 400 meters per second.
The earthquake shockwaves spread rapidly underground in all directions, only stopping when they collided with the Tashin Defense Network.
The Tashin Defense Network covered the entire Nihon Island, absorbing the majority of the shockwaves and preventing the earthquake from spreading beyond its borders.
At the epicenter of the earthquake, the Skrulls were also setting up defensive shields to protect themselves from the explosion's shockwaves and the earthquake.
With the first line of defense breached, it was time for them to press their advantage!
"Ancestor, clear a path for the warships to pass," Manina communicated telepathically with his ancestor, Manina III, who hovered overhead.
"Understood!" Manina III responded.
As he spoke, he withdrew a massive sword from his spatial ring.
The sword was about two meters long and about thirty to forty centimeters wide, its blade covered in a layer of silver metal that shimmered with a brilliant silver light under Manina III's control.
"Go!"
With his command, the silver sword shot out with a whistling sound, piercing through the first line of defense in an instant and creating a hole.
After the first line of defense was destroyed, the remnants were filled with chaotic spiritual energy and wild explosions.
Now, with the silver sword having created an opening, the fleet could pass through.
