Chapter 652: Blue Star's Counterattack
When Emperor Liu Che left the fighter jet, he used his magical powers to stabilize it in mid-air, as there was no place to land. To set an example, he set up a camera on the side of the jet facing the spring before he left. The camera faithfully captured the entire process.
After destroying the crystal drill, Emperor Liu Che returned to the jet and transferred the video footage to his phone. He then posted a video, less than a minute long, to the group chat.
He waited a minute for everyone in the group to watch the video. Then, Emperor Liu Che spoke:
"This is the video of my attack on a small Skrull base. As you can see, we only need to prevent the Skrulls from transporting psychic energy back to their home planet. If possible, we can destroy the 'psychic energy collection plants' and 'anti-gravity crystal drills' in these bases. Once these are destroyed, even if the Skrulls bring another 'anti-gravity crystal drill,' the cleanup will be a major headache for them.
If conditions are not favorable, such as if the Skrulls quickly send reinforcements of Sixth Stage or higher, we can destroy their 'psychic energy storage tanks' and 'psychic energy transport ships.' As long as they can't transport the energy, it remains ours. Although it's a shame for the energy to disperse around the world, it's better than letting the Skrulls take it.
There are currently over 2,800 springs erupting violently, and the Skrulls' Sixth Stage or higher powerhouses can't possibly guard all of them. If they don't send reinforcements, we can even occupy these springs directly. That's all I have to say."
...
After watching Emperor Liu Che's video and reading his message, the other Grand Cultivators expressed their agreement:
"Yes, I agree with this strategy, Brother Liu Che."
"I agree as well."
"Preventing the Skrulls from taking the psychic energy is much simpler than occupying the springs. Unless Sixth Stage or higher Skrull reinforcements are already guarding the springs, they can't stop us from destroying the critical facilities in the bases."
"It's time for us to play our part! It's better than just doing menial tasks as we did before."
Seeing everyone's agreement, Chancellor Cao made the final decision:
"Since everyone agrees, we will proceed with this strategy. We will all disperse to the smaller springs around the world. However, everyone must be cautious. If there are any fluctuations in the spatial rifts above the springs, leave immediately to avoid giving the enemy a chance. Your lives come first."
"Understood."
"Got it."
"We'll be careful."
Chancellor Cao added, "There's one more thing. If any of you have extra life-saving or powerful magical artifacts, please share them with those who don't. This is not the time to keep things to ourselves. To encourage this, after this operation, those who voluntarily share their life-saving, powerful, or even Heaven-defying artifacts will receive a higher share of the psychic energy. I'll start. My life-bound artifacts are the 'Heavenly Sword' and the 'Green Spear,' also known as the 'Two Supreme Swords.' I don't need them right now, so I can lend them to others."
Emperor Liu Che quickly responded, "The 'Savage Ten Thousand Spirits Stele' I used in the video can also be shared. If anyone needs it, contact me."
In the following period, the Grand Cultivators exchanged unused magical artifacts in the group chat, boosting the combat capabilities of those who were not as strong.
After the transfer, the 6th-stage cultivators dispersed to various parts of the globe.
Some went to Europe, others to Africa, and still more crossed the oceans to reach the American continent and Antarctica.
They spread out across the world, working tirelessly to prevent the Skrulls from taking the psychic energy back to their homeworld.
The United Government, of course, did not remain idle.
Fifteen minutes after the global psychic energy surge began, an order from Chairman Hu Jing was relayed to every branch of the military.
First, the United Government had to ensure a steady supply of psychic energy for the high-stage cultivators.
These cultivators were working around the clock to disrupt the Skrulls' plans, each consuming vast amounts of psychic energy in the process.
To ensure they could continue their efforts without running out of energy and losing their combat capabilities, the government instructed relevant departments to coordinate and use all available supersonic jets to deliver sufficient psychic energy canisters to the cultivators.
Second, the Blue Planet United Army had to take action.
In the past, the Blue Planet United Army had been largely passive, mainly stationed around Skrull bases.
However, with the current urgent situation, the United Army had to take decisive action!
Under Chairman Hu Jing's command, nuclear missile silos around the world began to operate at full capacity, and intercontinental ballistic missiles were placed on the brink of launch.
The Blue Planet troops surrounding each Skrull base were on high alert, ready to attack at a moment's notice.
The entire Blue Planet was once again in a state of major crisis, reminiscent of the last "Gravity Funnel" incident.
Meanwhile, on Skrul.
Emperor Manina XIII was not in his palace today.
It was a special day, and he had brought his trusted ministers to the "Skrull Expeditionary Force Headquarters" floating above the capital.
The global psychic energy surge on Blue Planet had been ongoing for 15 minutes. From the expeditionary force headquarters, Manina could clearly see the "Psychic Transport Ships" loaded with energy canisters emerging from the spatial rifts and heading to the energy storage bases below.
Before today, on average, one "Psychic Transport Ship" would pass through the spatial rift every three minutes.
But now, a ship returned to Skrul every ten seconds, increasing the rate of energy acquisition by more than 20 times!
Manina watched the ships through the window, a faint smile playing on his lips.
While the "Explosive Extraction" plan might be detrimental to the Skrulls in the long run, as it would cause many of the energy springs to dry up once they occupied Blue Planet, in the short term, it significantly boosted their chances of victory against the Blue Planet inhabitants.
Through the exhaustive extraction methods of the "Anti-Gravity Diamond Instruments," the Skrulls could obtain vast amounts of psychic energy, while the Blue Planet inhabitants could only watch helplessly as their energy sources dried up.
This imbalance would slowly lead to the Blue Planet inhabitants' demise due to a lack of psychic energy.
"Moreover, the massive amount of energy extracted at once has completely offset the energy consumption from the 'Gravity Funnel' plan.
I can use this energy to cultivate high-stage cultivators who will be loyal to me alone.
Once we fully occupy Blue Planet, I might even attempt to unify the entire Skrul world, incorporating all nations, including the Lankte Federation, into the Solar Empire."
Manina's thoughts drifted far away.
