Chapter 613: Damaging Morale

~12 min read 2,279 words

In the Kazil Star System, a massive Dimensional Rift stood in the center of the city. The originally prosperous city had been completely calmed down.

In front of the Dimensional Rift, the queue was divided into two columns.

Heavy trucks, full five meters tall, carried a massive amount of luggage and parcels, continuously pouring into the rift.

And the other was a long dragon-like queue. The citizens of the Benfir Civilization all stared at the massive rift before them with some curiosity.

Below the Dimensional Rift were Transformers wielded Energy Firearms. Their height generally ranged from three to five meters, and they were focused on executing their tasks.

The crowd was moving slowly. The steps to enter the Dimensional Rift were not complicated; they only needed to wear an Electronic Wristband on their wrists.

In the queue, Ponka looked excited and said: "Hey, Dad, those are the famous Transformation Legion. It's said this is a special ability of Your Excellency Dragon Lord, able to turn any electronic device into a Humanoid Machine."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

The Man beside him looked somewhat vigilant. Even though he had great respect for the Dragon Sovereign, it was very difficult for him to let down his guard against these Mechanical Lifeforms armed with live ammunition.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The crowd couldn't help but look up. Those were drop pods, their front ends rubbing against the air to form crimson arc-shaped shields.

Boom!

These drop pods smashed into the tall buildings on both sides. After the roar, thick smoke billowed.

"Warning, unknown threat detected, entering alert state."

The mechanical pupils of the Transformers present contracted and rotated, having already locked onto the locations where those drop pods fell.

"What's going on!?"

"What exactly happened?"

"..."

The queue at the scene suddenly fell into a commotion, and everyone's faces were filled with terrified expressions.

"Everyone, please do not panic. Stay where you are and do not move around. We will handle everything as soon as possible." A mechanical voice spread throughout this area.

"Go to hell!"

A native language of the Benfir Civilization came from the thick smoke. A cold blade light flashed. A play of light and shadow flashed and vanished, piercing through the body of the nearest Transformer. The cross-section was crimson, and the mechanical structures within were still running.

Boom!

The two halves of the mechanical remains exploded directly, causing a massive explosion.

"High-level threat detected, requesting backup!"

The other Transformers rapidly reacted. Energy Barriers popped up on their bodies, and they shared their combat vision to obtain multi-directional vigilance.

Bang!

A figure descended. It was a lean, muscular Man, wearing thick Mechanical Exoskeletons on his arms, seemingly some kind of auxiliary combat equipment.

"I'll deal with these cannon fodder, you guys find a way to shut down the Dimensional Rift!" He raised his fists and slammed them together in front of his chest. Gears turned, spewing out sparks, looking confident of victory.

"Alright!"

Someone else responded from the surroundings. Subsequently, the massive Dimensional Rift actually produced slight distortions. The Spatial Channel was affected and temporarily couldn't accommodate the passage of any objects.

The rest of the Transformation Legion attempted to charge up, but a figure wielding a Mechanical Combat Blade blocked their way. He pulled out a silver-white Mechanical Restraint from his chest.

He pinched it hard from the middle. The two ends instantly popped open, and a large amount of blue-gray smoke mixed with Electric Arcs began to diffuse.

Affected by this smoke, warning sounds constantly rang out within the bodies of the numerous Transformers. Their bodies even swayed unsteadily, like drunken humans.

"Electromagnetic Bombs, specially prepared for you robots!" The guy holding the Mechanical Combat Blade threw the Bomb in his hand at his feet, wiped the back of the blade across the crook of his arm, and immediately charged forward.

Nothing could be seen clearly in the smoke. Only the continuous clanging and rhythmic sounds could be heard, as well as sounds similar to metal dropping on the ground.

The Man held Ponka and hid in a corner, shivering.

"Dad, who are they..." Ponka's young mind held not only fear, but also irrepressible curiosity.

"Shh!" The Man hurriedly covered Ponka's mouth, signaling him not to make any sound.

The person in charge of the Transformer squad at the scene was a blue and white Mechanical Body. His Strength was the strongest, but amidst this electromagnetic Bomb, his Strength was also reduced by more than half.

"Unknown attack encountered. Squad annihilation probability up to 90%. Dimensional Rift Disrupted. Activate Dimension Legion!"

The intelligent program within his body, after weighing the battlefield situation, prepared to launch the most appropriate counterattack.

His chest armor cracked open, and a transparent Crystal rolled out from it. Inside, there was a swirling mass of colors flashing incessantly.

He violently smashed it onto the ground. In an instant, a large amount of Elemental Power surged out from the edge of the Dimensional Rift, rapidly condensing into individual elemental lifeforms.

"F*ck, what the hell is this thing? The Dimensional Rift has clearly been Disrupted, how can they still have backup coming over!?"

An angry curse rang out in the attackers' channel.

"Who knows what's going on. The plan has changed, retreat quickly!"

"How can we retreat now, we're almost successful!"

Boom!

These elemental lifeforms were very purposeful. First, they surrounded the battlefield from all directions. Then, the wind elementals among them used their own energy to rapidly blow away the smoke in the battlefield.

Appearing before them was a five-person squad. Some drew aggro head-on, some launched attacks from the flank, and some specialized in destroying the Dimensional Rift.

The five stood back-to-back, staring vigilantly at these elementals before them.

A crackling Thunder elemental stepped out, and then other elementals began to continuously walk towards it. Their bodies underwent fusion, and their colors became dreamlike.

More importantly, the Aura on its body became increasingly powerful.

"This, what exactly is this!?" The figure wielding the Mechanical Combat Blade held the blade horizontally.

The Aura on this fused elemental had already made him feel threatened.

The fused elemental extended a finger, and a massive amount of Thunder shot out. Seeing this, the muscular Man abruptly took a step forward and threw a punch with his mechanical gauntlet.

"Yah, ha!"

Boom!

The violent explosion caused the Earth to vibrate slightly. The muscular Man flew backwards, his whole body charred black, twitching uncontrollably.

The expressions of the several people changed, unable to help becoming somewhat terrified. One of the guys fiddling with a Smart Device said in fear: "What's going on, why is it different from what the intelligence stated."

"Didn't it say that as long as we temporarily cause Disruption to the Dimensional Rift, they wouldn't be able to provide backup?"

"Calm down!" The blade Man shouted coldly.

There were elementals in all directions, and they were still continuously fusing. This surprise attack could already be declared a failure.

The Transformer Captain crushed a Circular Device. The Dimensional Rift, which had been distorted by some unknown influence, instantly returned to its original state.

Shortly after, a group of people walked out from the Dimensional Rift. The one leading was precisely Anthony. This old snake's eyes were fierce as he stared at the tightly surrounded few people. Flicking snake-like tongue, he let out an extremely eerie voice.

"Just now, in the spatial nodes across the entire Benfir Civilization, over one hundred and fifty-seven locations were attacked."

"I'm very curious, how do you C-Class and B-Class Lifeforms have the guts to launch an attack?"

"Why do you guys want to sabotage this migration? Are you enemies of the Benfir Civilization, wanting to watch helplessly as the Benfir Civilization is completely wiped out by the Black Exile?"

This was clearly a premeditated attack. As the main person in charge of this migration operation, if any accidents occurred, Li Yu would hold him directly accountable.

This group of people was simply harming his life. How could he not be furious.

"Pah!" The Man holding the combat blade shouted coldly: "We wipe out the Benfir Civilization?"

"It's clearly you guys. You harbor ill intentions, manipulate Public Opinion, and deceive the citizens of the civilization of their trust. We are here to save them!"

Anthony remained unperturbed. His guess was indeed correct. This group of people were Indigenous Inhabitants of the Benfir Civilization.

This group of people indeed had been causing trouble behind the scenes all along.

"Still dare to quibble. Take them all away, process them together!" Anthony waved his hand.

"If you have the guts, then come. Fellow compatriots, this migration event is completely a Trap. This is the revenge of that Demon Li Yu."

"Once you enter the Dimensional Rift, your lives will no longer be under your own control!" he shouted loudly, holding the combat blade.

Even facing numerous enemies, he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, like a martyred warrior.

"Malicious False Accusation!" Anthony roared furiously, except his Snake pupils were filled with coldness. "Your Excellency Dragon Lord exhausted his efforts, trying every possible means to save you, yet you actually frame him like this!"

"What save? Li Yu's evil deeds are known to all. It's just that, intimidated by his Strength, no one dares to speak out. You running dogs will also Curse You to a Miserable End!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Before Anthony could speak, a tender voice came from a corner on the other side.

The corners of Anthony's mouth curled up slightly. Here it comes!

He turned his head to look, and sure enough, from behind a collapsed floor slab, a seemingly very young teenager stood up.

Beside him was a Middle-Aged Man, who seemed to be constantly pulling at this teenager.

"How could Your Excellency Dragon Lord harm us!" Ponka's emotions were intense. The chests of youths always held power that could burst forth infinitely.

Ponka's voice was loud: "Don't think we don't know, Your Excellency Dragon Lord originally came to deal with the Black Exile. If the High Echelon of the civilization hadn't deliberately led him into a Trap, that ambush battle wouldn't have happened!"

"If Your Excellency Dragon Lord really wanted to deal with us, how could he spend such a huge price."

Ponka's words were well-founded. This was also one of the focal points of the Public Opinion propaganda. Li Yu was lured into the ambush circle by the High Echelon of the Benfir Civilization.

This gave the citizens of the Benfir Civilization an innate sense of guilt towards Li Yu.

"That's right, who exactly are you people, why are you harboring ill intentions under the banner of the Benfir Civilization!?"

With Ponka taking the lead, more and more people stood up and accused the few people.

Looking at the clearly visible disgust and accusation in their eyes, the expression of the Man holding the combat blade gradually changed.

From his initial resoluteness to the later disbelief, his face turned pale.

At the very beginning, he hadn't retreated the slightest bit when facing numerous enemies, but now he was stumbling incessantly, seemingly unable to even stand straight.

Anthony watched quietly. For these people who styled themselves as Heroes, artillery fire from the enemy would never make them submit.

It would only make them believe they were walking a sacred path.

But they would be crushed by a single glance from those they were trying to protect.

Of course, there were also some people with higher awareness, who wouldn't even be harmed by this.

But Anthony believed that these few people didn't possess such a strong mentality.

"Kill them!"

It was unknown who shouted this, but it immediately triggered overwhelming whistling sounds. Amidst these whistling sounds, the few people holding combat blades huddled together, looking extremely pitiful.

.........

"My Lord, they don't know much either. They were originally a newly established organization, but I set my sights on them as soon as I arrived." Anthony was reporting in a low voice.

Li Yu's expression was strange as he looked at the Holographic Screen before him. The sound of "kill them" continuously came from the footage.

"Mmm..." Li Yu pondered for a moment and said: "They came to cause trouble. Kill those who should be killed, interrogate those who should be interrogated. Use less of these Damaging Morale methods."

Motherf*cker, this old snake was too perverted. Those few little guys had probably gone crazy, being demanded to be executed by the very people they earnestly wanted to protect.

"Yes, My Lord, you are merciful. I was too cruel." Anthony immediately lowered his head and said.

"It's not mercy, mainly..." Li Yu paused and said: "Don't let me see it, I will condemn myself."

"Understood."

"Also, a newly established Secret Organization shouldn't have these kinds of methods." On the Table in front of Li Yu lay a pile of fragments. It was exactly the device they used to temporarily cause Disruption to the Dimensional Rift.

This was an extremely advanced Technology, clearly not something this group of people could possess.

"Yes, there is a secret faction secretly funding them, but these Idiots don't know much either." Anthony continued his report: "I've already sent people to investigate. Since they took action, they will definitely leave traces."

"No need to waste too much energy. I have quite a few enemies, anyone is possible. They likely just want to casually disgust me." Li Yu shook his head, not wanting to invest too many resources into the migration of the Benfir Civilization.

The entire migration time wouldn't last too long. It would be fine as long as protections were in place during this period.
