Chapter 669: A Heartening Turn of Events
"He actually surrendered!"
Manina's teacup shattered with a crack as he watched the 3D projection of Haiden and his subordinates surrender without any resistance.
According to his original plan, Haiden was likely to return with the sixth-stage core personnel. Even if they couldn't return, they should have at least put up a fierce fight and destroyed all the base's defensive facilities.
But now, their clean and simple surrender, without any resistance, had handed over all the base's defenses, including the antimatter railguns, to the humans of Blue Star.
Soon, these weapons would turn their firepower against the Skrulls!
"Damn waste of a life! That old man is just too cowardly!" Manina stood up and threw the steel pen in his hand onto the table with great force.
Lanqi's face turned red with embarrassment.
Haiden was, after all, his teacher, and the emperor's words were a direct insult to him as well.
However, he couldn't argue. His teacher had indeed mishandled the situation.
After smashing the pen, Manina glared at the 3D projection and stomped angrily toward the door of the command room.
Lanqi was startled and quickly stood up to ask, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Of course, to call for reinforcements," Manina glared back. "I'm going to invite Lady Cecilia, Dragon King Kadrigos, and other deities to help guard the remaining giant springs. We can't just sit by and watch the Blue Star humans replicate this and seize the remaining 14 springs!"
Manina planned to invite other deities outside of G2 for assistance.
This would inevitably mean sharing some of the benefits with them, but it was better than letting the Blue Star humans take everything.
And he needed to act fast. Negotiating the distribution of benefits would take time, and he needed to finalize the deal before the Blue Star humans occupied another spring.
The scene shifted back to Blue Star.
After Haiden's surrender, Chancellor Cao swiftly descended from the sky and approached the Skrull high-ranking officials.
Using the power of his sword hilt, he sealed the spiritual energy within these high-ranking officials.
Haiden and the others didn't resist in the slightest, allowing their spiritual energy to be sealed without a fight.
The Great Cultivators also quickly descended, sealing the spiritual energy of the fifth-stage and lower-ranked Skrull soldiers and using magical artifacts like the "Immortal Shackles" to restrict their movements to a designated area.
Outside the spring, the Blue Star United Government's army was still unable to reach the base.
The energy shockwaves from the Great Cultivators' combined attack on the base's force field were too massive. Now, the area around the base was filled with rampant spiritual energy.
The United Government's army had to neutralize this chaotic spiritual energy before they could enter the base.
The task of "neutralizing the chaotic spiritual energy" was mainly carried out by Zhong Feng, Xu Xiaotian, and other fifth-stage players, along with third and fourth-stage players. The work was progressing at a decent speed.
According to the information received by Su Yu, they would be able to enter the giant spring within about an hour.
Fortunately, the monitoring satellites launched by the Blue Star government had captured the scene inside the base.
After the Great Cultivators successfully seized the spring, the United Government immediately published the news on the "Singer" website.
The "Singer" website was the highest-traffic site on the internet, with almost every internet-using Blue Star citizen spending some time each day to check the latest news.
Just half a day earlier, the United Government had published a news article in the top news section: "All 2,400 Skrull armies in the springs have withdrawn. These springs have all withered and become barren mountains."
This news sparked intense debate online, with the entire internet world brimming with despair.
But when the United Government suddenly released a piece of good news, the netizens browsing the site quickly clicked through.
The headline of the good news read: "Blue Star's High-Rank Cultivators Fight for 7 Hours, Travel 28,000 Kilometers, and Seize the Greater Caucasus Mega Spring Without Shedding a Drop of Blood!"
The article provided a detailed account of the actions taken by Blue Star's high-rank cultivators.
A distance of 28,000 kilometers is roughly equivalent to running around the equator for more than half its length (the equator is approximately 40,000 kilometers long).
The article meticulously described why the cultivators needed to quickly transfer between springs, how they managed to break through the force field shields of the mega base, and the entire process of capturing the Greater Caucasus Mega Spring and the Seventh-Stage Skrull top-tier strongman.
Every netizen who clicked and read the news was stunned!
They had just been wallowing in self-pity, contemplating whether to surrender to the Skrulls.
But they never expected that someone was silently fighting on their behalf, daring to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and helping Blue Star reclaim a glimmer of hope!
The news spread like wildfire across the internet as soon as it was released.
Official forums and major social media platforms were flooded with links to the post.
Soon, the entire world was in an uproar!
Cheers erupted from residential areas in cities around the world, mingled with the barely contained sobs of joy.
At the foot of the main peak of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, where the squad was neutralizing the rampant psychic energy, a massive cheer rose.
They couldn't see clearly through the violent purple psychic energy what had happened inside the spring, but seeing this news, they knew they had won, and won big!
Even Zhong Feng, standing in the sky, had red-rimmed eyes.
On the official forum, the discussion was off the charts:
"I almost cried, this news came at just the right time!"
"I feel the same, hearing about the 2,400 springs withering almost broke me, but thankfully, President Ke and the high-rank cultivators didn't give up."
"Seven hours, 28,000 kilometers. This is absolutely a first in human history!"
"It's definitely the first. Tang Sanzang's journey to fetch the scriptures was only 24,000 kilometers round trip, but it took him 19 years."
"The output of a single mega spring is at least equivalent to 150 small springs. The Greater Caucasus, being the fourth-largest spring in Asia, has a high output. This time, we finally turned the tide!"
"President Ke is awesome! All the seniors are awesome!"
The official forum was a sea of joy!
The news uplifted countless Blue Star inhabitants, and Su Yu and the other high-rank cultivators were also overjoyed.
Not long after Haidun's surrender, Linke's portal appeared in the sky, and the spatial rift was completely sealed.
Seeing the spatial rift disappear, the Blue Star cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces breaking into long-lost smiles.
"Ah!" Su Yu, disregarding his appearance, sprawled out on the ground of a square in the base.
The intense 7-hour battle and rapid transfers had exhausted him!
Alyssa, Tina, and Morning Star came over and sat beside him. The high-rank cultivators who had sealed the Skrulls also gathered spontaneously in the square, forming a circle around Su Yu.
With the mega spring secured, they could finally take a well-deserved break!
