Chapter 1378: The Traitor is Him!
Chapter 1378: The Traitor is Him!
The Haminis City Chant Tower, like other Chant Towers, was under attack.
However, the Haminis City Chant Tower remained stable, with two Fifth-Rank Planetary defenders. What could possibly go wrong?
But suddenly, the AI Blue Whale discovered that one of them was a traitor!
Worse still, due to the presence of two Fifth-Rank Planetary defenders, Blue Whale had left the core of the city's Chant Tower here, feeling secure.
Everything had been as stable as a mountain—until the traitor appeared...
---
Meanwhile, the scene shifted, and the Chant Tower Su Yu was facing changed from the Laitke City Chant Tower to the Haminis City Chant Tower.
"Traitor?" At the word, both Su Yu and the cat Chenxing's hearts skipped a beat.
They hurriedly looked at the scene.
But after seeing it, both the human and the cat frowned, as it was utter chaos.
In other cities, the conflicts were minor, with the main battles fought by Eighth-Rank cultivators.
But Haminis City was different, with two Fifth-Rank Planetary defenders, and the rebel organization had sent equally powerful adversaries. The intensity of the battle here far exceeded the norm.
The screen was filled with pitch-black darkness, endless black smoke swirling, and occasional blinding flashes of light. It was nearly impossible to discern the situation through visual means.
"Blue Whale, who's the traitor?" Su Yu asked urgently.
But then a spark of realization hit him: "Wait, could it be Jared?!"
The AI Blue Whale's tone had been very urgent, indicating that either Jared or Omer had suddenly betrayed.
Omer's betrayal wouldn't have caused such a strong reaction from Blue Whale, given his history and notorious past.
That left only one answer—Jared must have betrayed!
Su Yu's guess was spot on.
Indeed, the AI Blue Whale replied, "Correct, Administrator Su Yu. The traitor is Jared Manchelick.
I have always recorded Jared's actions, but I could never analyze any signs of betrayal from them.
It seems he has been planning this for a long time, hiding his intentions since I took over the hub. He managed to deceive everyone."
The AI Blue Whale's tone returned to calm, no longer as urgent as before.
It had been genuinely shocked.
But upon reflection, even though Jared was close to its core, the Chant would not leave it unprotected.
With the Chant's protection, Jared posed no real threat, and Blue Whale's emotions stabilized.
"What? Jared!" Chenxing exclaimed in surprise.
"Really, it's Jared!" Su Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
Chenxing and Su Yu exchanged glances, both seeing the deep shock in each other's eyes.
They still harbored resentment towards Omer, given that one of Su Yu's avatars had died at his hands.
But Jared...
Jared was a prominent figure in the hub, the most well-known Planetary-level individual, a top-tier scientist, and trusted by all the Stellar-level leaders.
And this person had betrayed!
What had happened to him? Did he think defecting to the Crystalline Commonwealth offered a better future?
But the Crystalline Commonwealth was a silicon-based civilization. Could he really achieve anything there?
---
But there was no time to ponder Jared's motives now.
"Can't worry about that now," Su Yu said urgently. "Blue Whale, quickly teleport me back to Haminis City!"
Using the interstellar portal now would be too late; he needed Blue Whale's emergency teleportation.
But the AI Blue Whale did not immediately comply with Su Yu's command.
"Wait, Administrator Su Yu, are you sure you want to return?" Blue Whale's tone was filled with surprise. "It's extremely dangerous! Omer has already been ambushed by Jared, and Haminis City now has three Fifth-Rank Planetary enemies!"
While they were speaking, Omer had been caught between three enemies of the same rank.
If Su Yu returned to Haminis City now, he would be the only First-Rank Planetary defender, facing three Fifth-Rank Planetary enemies.
This was a suicidal move!
"I know it's dangerous, but... I have to go back," Su Yu said with determination. "Don't forget, our Blue Star headquarters is there."
"Alright," the AI Blue Whale conceded. "Administrator Su Yu, please prepare all your trump cards. We're leaving now."
---
Three seconds later, Su Yu's figure appeared in the Blue Star Mercenary Group headquarters building.
He didn't have time to think as he immediately looked outside.
Outside, the air was filled with swirling black winds, and the sky seemed to be collapsing, showing only a black, apocalyptic scene.
The protective array of the current building was already activated, enveloping it in a faint blue light.
Despite the protection, the building still shook violently, as if in an earthquake.
Sensing inside the building, Su Yu found that the Blue Star high-ranking members had been alarmed and were gathering in the top-floor meeting room.
Due to the chaos outside, Su Yu could clearly feel their panic and unease.
So, Su Yu immediately sent calming mental messages to them.
Receiving Su Yu's mental messages, the Blue Star high-ranking members' panic subsided.
With Su Yu present, they felt much more at ease.
---
After calming his comrades inside the building, Su Yu extended his mental senses to understand the situation outside.
But as soon as his mental senses left the building, his expression changed.
Immediately, he cast the [Spatial Slice] spell and released [Spatial Barrier] to protect the building.
A gray, wave-like [Spatial Barrier] enveloped the entire building.
Moments later, Su Yu's [Spatial Slice] took effect 20 kilometers away.
There, a red "disk" carrying an extremely violent energy was hurtling toward the Blue Star headquarters at a speed of 3 kilometers per second!
This was clearly a Planetary-level attack.
If Su Yu hadn't intervened, and it had struck the building directly, the entire structure would have been split in two, and the high-ranking members inside would have been killed instantly!
