Chapter 1381: Desperate Measures
Chapter 1381: Desperate Measures
The voice came from Ashley.
This purple crystal was the same one Su Yu had used against Lelin.
After using it once, Su Yu couldn't actively summon Ashley. However, if Ashley wanted to be by Su Yu's side, she could use the crystal as a medium to appear.
In the mysterious purple light, Ashley's true form appeared before Jared.
Jared's heart had already plummeted like a rock down a cliff.
"Everything is over!" He felt a crushing despair, his limbs turning cold as he stared at Ashley.
Wait, he didn't have legs.
Even Jared's mind had already started replaying the events of the past like a slideshow.
Ever since the Fall of the Hymn, Jared had already had the idea of defecting.
He believed the Saint Silver Federation had no hope left. Instead of struggling on a sinking ship, he thought it would be better to join the rebels, preferably a galactic-level power like the Crystal Blue Commonwealth.
Over the next month, he secretly contacted the rebel organizations.
Through a covert channel, he reached out to the largest rebel group, the "Glorious Rebels," offering top-secret information from the Fig Hub as a token of his sincerity to join.
For a promising planetary-level Tier 5 powerhouse like Jared, the "Glorious Rebels" naturally didn't refuse.
However, they didn't have him join them directly. Instead, they had him stay at the Fig Hub as an inside man.
Finally, three years later, Jared, as an inside man, was about to have his moment of glory. The destruction of the AI Blue Whale was the best gift he could give to the organization!
And at first, the plan was running perfectly—Omeril was instantly severely injured, and the destructive data from the blue crystal was injected into the Hymn Tower without any hindrance.
But everything changed when Su Yu appeared!
Jared's mental replay ended here.
He snapped back to reality, his desperate gaze passing over Ashley to focus on Su Yu behind her.
Why did everything fall apart the moment Su Yu showed up? His plan was so perfect!
And he lost so badly.
Where did Su Yu get such powerful attack methods? How could a newcomer to the planetary level nearly kill him?!
He looked at Su Yu, feeling utterly bewildered.
...
Facing the dazed and still flying toward her Jared, Ashley's expression was unusually cold.
This traitor must be dealt with, but it would be better to wait for her colleagues to arrive.
She extended her hand and cast a spell. Four silver-white glowing crosses appeared around Jared, sealing him inside.
This was a stellar-level sealing spell, the "Radiant Crosses." With this seal, Jared had no chance of escape.
"Hahaha!" Despite being sealed, Jared suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
He made no attempt to resist, but his face twisted into a grotesque grin: "Haha! What if I die here? The destruction program has already been injected into the AI Blue Whale, and we still win!
Wait for the hub to be occupied by the great intelligences! Protein bugs! Hahaha!"
Jared's laughter was so rampant that it echoed throughout the 170th Star Sector.
"Protein bugs..." Hearing this term, Su Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Jared had really gone mad. Was this a term he could say?
Glancing at Ashley, he saw her face had turned ashen.
"Protein bugs?" The cat Chenxing, in the pet space, asked, "That's a strange name. I've never heard of it before. Is it a forbidden word?"
"Indeed, it is a forbidden word." Su Yu nodded. "You can look it up in the Think Tank."
"Okay." Chenxing opened the Think Tank provided by AI Blue Whale and started searching for an explanation.
After reading just a few lines, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Good grief! This guy is asking for death!"
According to the Think Tank, "protein bugs" was the highest-level forbidden word in the Saint Silver Federation. It was the most humiliating term used by the intelligences of the Crystal Blue Commonwealth to refer to the Federation's inhabitants.
The residents of the Saint Silver Federation were mostly carbon-based life forms, primarily composed of water, proteins, fats, and calcium. The most distinctive feature of carbon-based life forms was the protein, a large biological molecule.
"Protein bugs" was the most humiliating term, and the Federation had officially banned its use in all contexts over a billion years ago.
Now, Jared had brazenly shouted this term, clearly showing he had lost his mind and was acting in a desperate, reckless manner.
...
Ashley, though furious, didn't do anything more to Jared.
She first glanced at the slowly closing portal.
She didn't dare to chase after it directly, as the other side might be the enemy's headquarters. She could only watch as the portal closed.
She flashed to the Hymn Tower, probing its interior with her mental power to see if there was any way to salvage the situation.
Su Yu didn't react much to the term "protein bugs." Watching the portal disappear, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he had a trump card. Otherwise, his people would have suffered heavy casualties this time.
"Counter, we need to enhance the defenses of our headquarters," the cat Chenxing suggested.
"Right. I need to do that before I leave," Su Yu nodded. "The current defenses are practically nonexistent. They need to be reinforced to the point where even a planetary-level attack would be difficult."
He instructed AI Blue Whale, "Blue Whale, help me come up with a plan."
"Of course, Administrator Su Yu," AI Blue Whale replied.
