Chapter 466: Meditation's Peeping, Horus's Past

"Indiscriminate attack. Anyone who attacks us is an enemy!"

Raymond's eyes were cold, issuing the command without hesitation.

On the contrary, the usually reckless Ted hesitated a bit regarding this command.

"Although those factions are Idiots, right now they clearly don't want to attack us, just being swept along by the United Fleet."

"They are also slacking off a lot in battle. If we launch an attack on them, it might actually make them make up their minds to deal with us."

Raymond shook his head: "They just don't want to be used as a gun, it doesn't mean they will stand on our side."

"Since they have come here, they are enemies. Furthermore, as long as we wait for that person to enter the field, everything will not be a problem."

Hearing this, Ted also couldn't help but nod, having no further objections, and echoed: "You're right."

Bang!

And the free-floating, dispersed Energy around it suddenly centered on the attack point and burst outwards, a scene like a Supernova Explosion.

The Super-Massive Energy Tsunami induced by the Troll Legion swallowed up large swathes of surrounding fleets all at once.

This was a weapon of mass destruction. It used the principle of deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces, drawing together the free Energy on the battlefield, and then detonating it through a medium, thereby causing highly efficient casualties.

However, this method could only be carried out when one's own side didn't have a large-scale fleet on the field, otherwise, it was easy to cause friendly Fire.

The instantly off-the-charts High-Energy Reaction startled the Radars of countless warships on this battlefield, instantly becoming the most eye-catching area in the battlefield.

Beams of light cannons continuously bombarded the outer Shield of the Troll Legion, but unable to pierce this layer of defense, they all exploded into specks of light on the Shield.

The two major Legions were like Turtle shells. Their outer Shields connected with each other, the thickness astonishing, and the defensive power jaw-dropping.

Yet their attacks could be fired out through the Shield, and there were also high-tier lifeforms operating on the periphery.

For a time, the offensive trend of the United Fleet was also halted, unable to advance an inch.

"Fuck, is the Star Glory Empire crazy? I'm just here to watch the show!" Callisius cursed loudly.

The place the Energy Inducer just attacked was exactly where the Black Net Organization's fleet was located. This strike caused them heavy losses.

Two-thirds of their fleet became shattered parts.

Callisius was extremely depressed. Since arriving here, there hadn't been a single piece of good news. First, he saw the betrayer Siegel.

Then he was forced to join the battle by Kuzar's Blade. Originally planning to Slack Off in the battle, the result was the Star Glory Empire directly taking out two-thirds of their fleet.

Although they only brought an elite fleet with a total scale of around five thousand ships, so the loss wasn't much, these successive unlucky events made him extremely irritable.

"If you're unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Full of pent-up anger, Callisius didn't hesitate to apply to Kuzar's Blade for joint Command Authority.

Integrating his remaining fleet under the other party's command, while he himself brought five or six A-Tier Lifeforms charging into the battlefield.

The target was very clear: exactly the high-tier lifeforms of the two major Legions wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

Wrapped in black radiance, Callisius circulated his Energy.

Raising his hand and throwing a punch, the fist flashing with dazzling light struck a tall armored head.

This Armor had four mechanical arms. The point of impact instantly exploded with a fierce Shockwave, producing a hum like a giant bell inside the Armor, ringing 'clang' right by the controller's ear.

The Metal Armor Helmet, made of special materials, actually had cracks appearing under this collision.

The oxygen leak alarm sounded, and the controller had absolutely no chance to react. The next strike followed immediately; a palm tore open the External Armor and pressed onto his head.

With a little exertion, the head, two sizes larger than a normal person's, directly burst open, the pitch-black Energy instantly extinguishing all his Vitality.

Callisius casually threw the corpse in his hand far away, then locked onto the next target and charged over.

The Armor of every high-tier lifeform was connected to the Legion's Combat System to Monitor their Vital Signs and issue missions.

The instantly disappearing Vital Signs immediately triggered a warning, and within a short time, a second high-tier lifeform also lost its Vital Signs.

Raymond and Ted stared closely at that black shadow on the screen. Through high-magnification slow-motion playback, they quickly found out the other party's origin.

"Callisius, the chief training officer of the Black Net Organization. I didn't expect Black Net to actually send him out this time." Ted frowned slightly:

"This is an Old geezer who has experienced the peak era of the Black Net Organization?"

"Although according to the data, his Superpower has limitations and can only stop at A3-tier, he has probably developed it to its limits, and he has extremely numerous methods. He's not easy to deal with."

Although the factions present didn't dispatch many warships, basically every leader's Strength couldn't be underestimated.

Like Callisius, formerly the chief instructor of the Black Net Organization, proficient in various killing techniques, his own Strength also couldn't be underestimated.

"Have the enemy fleets completely entered the blockade line?" Raymond frowned slightly and asked.

"Not yet, at least half of the fleet is still outside." A subordinate reported quickly.

On the Radar detection map, there was a perfectly clear red line. Dense red dots were distributed on both sides of the red line, slowly advancing.

"Ponka, go intercept Callisius, don't let him be too unscrupulous." Hearing this, Raymond issued a dull command in the channel.

Ted glanced at Raymond and immediately also ordered: "Those who are idle, all go out and find opponents. The more you kill, the better."

It was foreseeable that with Callisius entering the field, more high-tier lifeforms would join the battle.

The intensity of this battlefield would rise another level again.

Callisius's figure was unpredictable. Disappearing and reappearing, he would be hundreds of kilometers away, making him hard to figure out.

He locked onto a Troll. Pitch-black Energy attached to his body. Just as he was about to strike, a fist the size of a sandbag suddenly attacked.

The astonishing sense of threat forced him to abandon the enemy in front of him and retreat quickly.

"High-tier Troll?" Callisius's eyes narrowed slightly, then suddenly his whole body shone brightly, and his speed abruptly increased.

His body shrouded in pitch-black Energy, he suddenly became indestructible, actually directly smashing through the enemy's armored Shield.

Bombarding the enemy Troll's abdominal Armor, smashing a dent and causing a large patch of cracks.

Immediately after, Callisius's fist pressed against the center of the dent, and the pitch-black Energy on it suddenly began to spin, as if turning into a drill, about to drill right through the opponent.

But at this moment, a large amount of Nanoparticles suddenly seeped out from the dent in the opponent's abdominal Armor, rapidly condensing and transforming into a thick mechanical fist, fiercely attacking Callisius.

Segment by segment of transmission devices conducted the force. The mechanical fist suddenly tightened, its front end also turning into a drill.

It squarely poked at Callisius's pitch-black energy Shield, instantly knocking him away.

Following that, Callisius, being well-prepared, freed a hand, Energy surged violently, and slapped the opponent with a palm.

That Troll instantly tumbled and flew far away.

This was just a microcosm of the battlefield. Accompanying the Star Glory Empire's indiscriminate attacks, the factions originally planning to Slack Off had to join the battle as well.

Numerous high-tier lifeforms crisscrossed the battlefield. Various energies surged out, and many people directly used Gene Liberation, becoming High-energy burst points.

………

"It's completely turned into a chaotic dogfight..." Li Yu was in the Command Center, looking at the massive Interstellar battlefield.

Husband's name was indeed very useful. Although Crimson Holy Fire didn't completely treat them as their own people, they didn't have a cold attitude like towards other factions.

They just let the Black Pupil Fleet provide assist attacks.

"The Star Glory Empire is at a huge disadvantage. Although they seized the initiative early on and set up various defensive measures, they will be broken through sooner or later." Horus observed the battle and easily came to a conclusion.

"Just waiting for their backup plan."

………

"It will probably be very difficult to snatch Gensokyo now."

The massive Pantheon stood in the Interstellar space, about half the size of a conventional Interstellar Fortress. Their position was relatively far back.

Therefore, they didn't attract targeted strikes from the two Legions. And due to the Pantheon's intimidating appearance, the Resistance Organization United Fleet didn't coerce them either.

In the current situation, it was clearly not a simple matter of fighting for Gensokyo.

In such a war, Meditation's power could hardly gain an advantage, let alone win the final victory.

Reinhardt was not blindly confident; rather, he had an extremely clear self-awareness.

But this didn't mean he had no goals in this war.

He cast his gaze to another place, that black fleet wrapped among the numerous red warships——

The Black Pupil Fleet!

Li Yu!

Since they couldn't snatch Gensokyo, then settling for the next best thing and completing a previously uncompleted goal was also fine.

No matter what, the Heart of the Titan and Gensokyo, these two things that could allow Meditation to rise, he must obtain one of them.

It was just that Horus's presence made him feel it was tricky.

……

"That is..."

Horus's eyes scanned the real-time Star Map, but his gaze abruptly froze, as if discovering something in a certain corner of the battlefield?

"I am preparing to join the battle." Horus's words attracted the attention of the others.

Li Yu was somewhat surprised. Such an active Horus was truly rare.

Did he meet his fated enemy? Or what was going on?

However, Horus and Li Yu were not in a superior-subordinate relationship. Horus wasn't seeking Li Yu's permission, just informing him.

"The current battlefield isn't very suitable to join. How about you wait a bit longer?" Li Yu still reminded him.

"No need. Moreover, isn't there still the Potion you gave me?" Horus shook his head, clearly having made up his mind.

"That's true..." Li Yu hesitated for a moment, ultimately just smiling and watching Horus leave.

He turned into a streak of light flame in the Starry Sky, charging towards a certain direction.

"What exactly is going on with this guy? Like he ate gunpowder, so Impatient." Li Yu was somewhat curious.

The Combat System marked all the factions along Horus's movement trajectory.

And Codri focused his gaze on a certain faction and smiled: "So that's how it is..."

"You know again?" Li Yu glanced at Codri.

"You don't know?" Codri asked back.

"I don't know." Li Yu shook his head. Codri's little probe returned without success.

Hearing this, he didn't hide it either, explaining: "Then you should know that what caused Horus to fall from being the supreme commander of the Guixing Military stemmed from a failed war."

"And the instigator of that war was Nightmare. They are an Ally of Black Net, originally just a small organization attached to Black Net."

"After Black Net rapidly disintegrated, they expanded rapidly, eventually reaching their current state. What made them rise to fame in the Interstellar space was that war that framed Horus."

"Oh..." Li Yu realized. So he met an enemy, no wonder he was so proactive.

The Sevia Campaign, Return Star's most disastrously losing war in a century.

Hundreds of thousands of warships were damaged, nearly ten million soldiers were casualties, and the Columbur Interstellar Fortress was severely damaged, almost equivalent to being unusable.

And the cause was originally because of the [Sevia Crystal Mine] in a certain Star Sector. Return Star went to support their Little Brother and wasn't prepared for a major war.

However, in the end, due to Nightmare fueling the flames in it, it developed into a large-scale Interstellar campaign.

Horus fought against the allied forces of over sixteen large civilizations, resulting in heavy losses.

And the Nightmare organization, however, entrenched itself in the sixteen large civilizations that also suffered heavy losses, Absorbing nutrients, growing stronger again, and rising to fame.

Li Yu didn't know the specific details very clearly; they had been sealed by Return Star.

It was precisely because of this war that gave Digor a reason to dismiss Horus, and furthermore caused the reputation he had accumulated over a millennium to be almost entirely lost overnight.

Seeing Nightmare now, how could Horus swallow this anger.

On the other side, Reinhardt, who was hesitating, saw the suddenly departing Horus, and a trace of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Horus left!?

He hurriedly checked what exactly happened. When he saw Horus charge into the fleet of the Nightmare faction, he immediately understood what was going on.

As the leader of Meditation, he naturally also knew about that campaign that caused Horus's decline.

"It's simply a godsend opportunity!"

Reinhardt ordered the Pantheon to approach Crimson Holy Fire's sphere of influence and issued a docking request.
