Chapter 83: An Unexpected Voice
Chapter 83: An Unexpected Voice
"Is that so?" Manina’s expression darkened even more.
Currently, the Kosiasko Spring has four Seventh Stage and fifty-five Sixth Stage powerhouses. If all these strong individuals were to perish, it would be a devastating blow to the expeditionary force!
Moreover, it would trigger a series of chain reactions, leading to a loss of morale and even a complete breakdown of the military.
But Manina had no choice.
Elisabeth had sealed the spatial rift, and unless these high-stage powerhouses rebelled, they definitely couldn’t return.
This meant they were on a one-way path to death.
"Ah!" Manina sighed, furrowing his brow and shaking his head.
Forget it. If the sacrifice of these dozens of high-stage powerhouses can ensure Elisabeth’s survival, then their sacrifice won’t be in vain.
If Elisabeth were to die at the Kosiasko Spring, the consequences would be unimaginable! It’s barely acceptable for them to serve as cannon fodder.
"Let’s shift our focus to the other springs." Manina changed the subject, "The situation at the Kosiasko Spring is temporarily stable. We need to quickly organize the expeditionary forces at other springs to accelerate the extraction of spiritual energy and expedite evacuation. We can’t let the tragedy of this spring repeat elsewhere."
"Understood." The others in the meeting room responded.
...
The scene returned to the Kosiasko Spring.
The low-intensity war of attrition continued, and time slowly passed as the battle raged on.
After about twenty-five minutes, the battlefield situation finally changed. Su Yu, using his mental power, sensed that the venerable Yang Jian had finally arrived! He was still quite far away, about 300 kilometers.
Yang Jian, standing on a trident, had activated the Eight-Nine Profound Art to its utmost, moving like a meteor.
Su Yu quickly used his mental power to inform Alyssa, Tiana, and Dawnstar, "The venerable Yang Jian is almost here. He’s about 300 kilometers away and can reach us in half a minute if he goes all out.
"Prepare your burst skills. We’ll start our full assault in three minutes, aiming to take down Elisabeth!"
"Understood." Dawnstar, Alyssa, and Tiana responded simultaneously and began their preparations.
However, they showed no outward change, continuing to cast low-cost spells at the Skrulls as before.
Su Yu also hurriedly contacted Yang Jian with his mental power, informing him of the current battlefield situation and what he needed to do.
Receiving Su Yu’s mental message, Yang Jian temporarily halted his advance, stopping in the sky and taking out a spiritual energy canister to restore the mana he had expended while traveling.
Yang Jian’s stopping point was very clever.
He stopped 285 kilometers away from Elisabeth, just outside her mental probing range, ensuring she wouldn’t detect him.
...
Time ticked by, second by second.
Finally, after two and a half minutes, Yang Jian fully unleashed his trident, reaching his maximum speed and charging towards Elisabeth.
His protective spell generated intense sparks as it rubbed against the air, making him look like a massive fireball from a distance.
Su Yu, Alyssa, and Dawnstar also burst into action.
They activated all their burst skills, releasing powerful spells in quick succession, aiming them at Elisabeth’s position.
Tiana also channeled her anger to the extreme, with golden and blue beams of light swirling around her like ribbons.
With a "whoosh," she broke away from their formation and charged into the Skrull high-stage formation, moving as fast as Su Yu’s teleportation.
...
Faced with Su Yu and his allies’ sudden burst, Elisabeth and the Skrull high-stages were well-prepared.
They knew Su Yu was waiting for reinforcements, and now that they had arrived, the burst was inevitable.
In a flash, Elisabeth donned a pale yellow robe.
This pale yellow robe was of much higher quality than the blue robe she had worn earlier, with dense spiritual energy swirling around it like a solid substance.
It was one of her best and strongest pieces of equipment, on par with Su Yu’s [Spatial Lord Robe].
"Divine Trace Barrier!" As Elisabeth cast the spell, a divine-level defensive spell quickly formed in front of her.
This defensive spell could only be cast by divine-level mentalists, and its defensive power was extraordinary.
The powerful spells released by Su Yu, Alyssa, and Dawnstar hit the barrier, but it didn’t even ripple, easily deflecting them.
However, the two humans and the cat didn’t stop, continuing to cast powerful single-target spells to overwhelm Elisabeth.
Half a minute later, the venerable Yang Jian arrived on the scene.
The third eye on his forehead glared furiously, shooting a blinding golden light towards Eliza's shield.
At the same time, the trident in his hand shot out like a bolt of lightning, striking Eliza's shield with precision.
Boom!
The deafening explosion echoed as the trident hit the shield's weakest point.
Unfortunately, the trident failed to break through the shield and was deflected instead.
However, due to the trident striking the weakest spot, the shield trembled violently, its thickness significantly reduced.
Su Yu and his companions seized the opportunity, continuing their full-force assault on Eliza's shield.
As for the other high-ranking Skrulls, Tina alone was enough to keep them at bay.
...
It wasn't that Su Yu was intentionally overestimating Tina's strength.
Tina had just ascended to the middle tier of the seventh rank, while the Skrull battle formation included four seventh-rank and fifty-nine sixth-rank members. Theoretically, Tina should have been no match for them.
However, in reality, Tina single-handedly "restrained" all the high-ranking Skrulls!
Of course, this was partly due to the Skrulls' "cooperation."
These high-ranking Skrulls were all sly and cunning.
They didn't want to be used as cannon fodder by Eliza, nor did they wish to fight the Blue Star humans to the death.
When they saw Tina charging over alone, they surrounded her, seemingly attacking her with all their might, as if trying to take her down quickly before aiding Eliza.
In reality, they were just going through the motions.
After surrounding Tina, they appeared to be attacking her vigorously, but after a full five minutes, Tina's protective aura remained unharmed.
At this rate, it would take them three hours to kill Tina!
This allowed Tina to "restrain" all the high-ranking Skrulls, freeing her teammates to focus their full strength on Eliza.
...
Eliza, of course, noticed these lazy cowards and felt a surge of rage.
She quickly issued orders, telling the high-ranking Skrulls to abandon Tina and come to the front to help her defend.
However, the high-ranking Skrulls completely ignored her commands, insisting they would "focus all their efforts on killing Tina, and then help her share the pressure once Tina was dead."
Eliza was infuriated by these words but could do nothing about it.
At that moment, Su Yu and his companions had activated their burst skills, their magical damage soaring to unprecedented heights!
To maintain her defenses and dodge fatal attacks, Eliza had to stay on constant alert, barely managing to withstand the pressure from Su Yu and his team.
At this point, she had no capacity to deal with the lazy cowards.
...
Fortunately, while Su Yu, Morning Star, and Elia's burst output was high, it didn't last long.
After a minute, the burst period ended for the two humans and the cat, and their skill power returned to normal levels.
From a "Blue Devouring Index" perspective, Su Yu's output briefly spiked to over 8000 during his burst, but quickly dropped back to around 3200 after the burst ended.
Morning Star and Elia had similar patterns.
The only one who was slightly different was Senior Yang Jian.
Senior Yang Jian didn't have a "burst skill" concept; his output remained steady at around 2000 without much fluctuation.
However, as the battle dragged on, it seemed that some seal on his trident was broken, and its power grew increasingly formidable!
After a minute, Senior Yang Jian's Blue Devouring Index not only didn't drop but increased from 2000 to around 2100, with a continuing upward trend!
With Su Yu, Morning Star, and Elia's burst periods ending, Eliza finally breathed a sigh of relief.
During that minute, she had sacrificed two of her prized artifacts to barely withstand the damage.
Fortunately, she still had plenty of resources left, enough to last for three hours.
With Su Yu and his companions' magical damage reduced, she now had more time to deal with the lazy cowards.
Eliza didn't waste any words. Seizing a gap in Su Yu's skill, she immediately issued a stern command to the lazy high-ranking Skrulls.
The command was simple: "Hurry over and help me defend. If I die, you won't live either!"
Threatened, the high-ranking Skrulls knew they couldn't keep slacking off.
They gradually abandoned their attack on Tina, returning to Eliza's side and each using their defensive abilities to help her withstand the assault.
However, even by Eliza's side, the high-ranking Skrulls didn't use their full strength. They still tried to minimize their spiritual energy consumption, prioritizing their own safety, as their lives were the most important.
And Su Yu and his companions completely ignored these high-ranking Skrulls.
Despite these high-ranking Skrulls returning to Elizabeth’s side, Su Yu and his team continued their relentless attacks and spells aimed at Elizabeth.
The majority of the pressure still fell on Elizabeth herself.
After a prolonged battle, Elizabeth realized that while these incompetent Skrulls could help alleviate some of the pressure, their contribution was minimal at best.
...
Time continued to pass, and the battle raged on.
Su Yu, Aijie, and Morningstar all adopted the game’s combat pattern: a minor burst every 10 minutes and a major burst every 60 minutes.
However, after enduring for 60 minutes, Elizabeth began to sense that something was amiss!
This issue wasn’t coming from Su Yu, Morningstar, or Aijie. Although their skill bursts caused a sudden spike in "Blue Devouring Index," their overall output remained relatively stable.
The real problem lay with Yang Jian, the ancient Earth cultivator, who was acting far too unpredictably!
At the start, Yang Jian’s "Blue Devouring Index" was quite steady, without the sudden spikes seen with Su Yu.
However, gradually, Yang Jian’s "Blue Devouring Index" began to climb. It reached 2300 after 10 minutes of battle, 2800 after 30 minutes, and now, after a full hour, it had soared to over 3600—surpassing the normalized output of a peak god-tier being!
Elizabeth and the high-ranking Skrulls felt the pressure intensify, and Elizabeth began to panic!
Yang Jian’s trident grew stronger with each passing moment, now radiating an overwhelming light that made it impossible to look directly at it.
Without a doubt, Yang Jian’s "Blue Devouring Index" would continue to rise.
But Elizabeth couldn’t hold out much longer!
She quickly calculated the remaining resources she had and was dismayed to realize that, if the current trend continued, her collection of top-tier items, gathered over centuries, would be depleted in just one hour!
Although she had dozens of high-ranking Skrulls at her disposal who could be used as "expendables," even if they were willing to be used, she doubted she could last more than three hours!
Moreover, the main Earth forces would arrive in about an hour, which would hasten her downfall.
This realization filled Elizabeth with extreme terror!
What was she supposed to do?
There was no place to retreat. Was she doomed to perish here?
...
The top brass in the Skrull Star’s highest-level meeting room were also acutely aware of Elizabeth’s dire situation, as they could see the "Blue Devouring Index" in real-time.
Seeing Yang Jian’s "Blue Devouring Index" soar to 3600+ and continue to rise, everyone’s faces turned ashen.
They all realized a terrifying fact—Elizabeth was likely to fall!
This would be the first time a god-tier being had fallen before their eyes, a shock that would be deeply felt.
Moreover, how would they deal with Earth humans in the future?
"Lord Stym, is there any way to save Lady Elizabeth? Is there any method we can use to rescue her?" Lunker Tskusman asked anxiously in the meeting room.
If Elizabeth truly fell, it would be a devastating blow to the Lunker Alliance, potentially even undermining their very foundation!
Then, they would no longer be a "G2" power, but relegated to a second-rate nation, a fate he could not accept.
Stym was well aware of the stakes.
After considering countless possibilities, he could only shake his head helplessly with a grim expression: "I’m afraid it’s not possible. The three-hour limit is a rule that cannot be changed.
If Earth’s strong continue to maintain this level of offensive, I see no way for Elizabeth to survive."
"This…" Tskusman opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Was a terrifying god-tier being truly about to fall like this?
After a moment, Emperor Manina of the Solar Empire spoke in a heavy voice: "I just contacted the Ancestor and Lord Plante. They also say there’s no way. I’m afraid… we must accept the reality."
"…" The meeting room fell into complete silence.
...
Kosiasco Spring.
Just as Elizabeth was completely enveloped in despair, an unexpected voice rang in her ears: "Hey, isn’t that Elizabeth? You look pretty rough. Want big sister to save you and bring you back to Skrul?"
