Chapter 229: Sky Ladder, Activate!

The sun rises, its light covering the earth.

At this moment, crowds of people entered the city full of hope; nearly everyone in the Tokyo area had gathered together, looking up at the screen in the city centre.

If it had been a day earlier, these sallow, thin people rushing into the city would certainly have been expelled by the defence forces.

But today is different; after the Sky Ladder was completed, Jiahemei Lu immediately announced to Tokyo that they would soon regain the ocean.

Therefore, the people who originally lived in the Gobi encountered no obstacles along the way and simply gathered together.

Under these circumstances, everyone hopes that ZECT's Sky Ladder plan will succeed.

As the leader of ZECT, Jiahemei Lu sat expressionless in a high position, while SanDaoZhengRen explained the current situation to him.

According to the latest reports, the massive acceleration system is ready, all systems are normal, and it can be activated at any time to draw the water source in space down to complete humanity's salvation.

Earth will be completely occupied by the Alien Insects within the next 72 hours, at the fastest in 48 hours,

The Alien Insects will wipe out most of humanity, and the vast majority of countries in this world will be completely unified, becoming a heaven without war or slaughter.

What pleases the higher-ups even more is that the rebel army has been completely wiped out, and all the Insect Instruments have been recovered,

Thanks to that unidentified knight, who defeated them one by one, they were able to smoothly control the remaining people.

There is actually no need for the Golden Knight to act, but as a precaution the Golden Knight is ready, waiting for the remaining Jia Dou to appear…

It's unclear why the Insect Instrument would accept a stranger, but they have already adjusted it,

The current Insect Instrument cannot be removed; one must fight until death with it, thus avoiding loss of combat ability due to the Instrument.

All Ant Soldiers have gathered at the Sky Ladder Command, with all gun muzzles pointed outward; helicopters equipped with various weapons are ready to take off, and the entire area is sealed off.

The Heavenly Dao Chief was riding the knight's special motorcycle, heading to Rixia Bu Xi's home; the news of obtaining the water source cannot compare to Xiao Xi's condition.

He vaguely sensed that the Sky Ladder plan might have hidden details, and the news about the Golden Knight was also questionable; after visiting Rixia Bu Xi, he intended to investigate further.

"Kagami, is everything alright?"

Tashiro Xiu Yi, wearing an earpiece and a suit, looked at the orange‑suited Kagami before him and asked.

"Well, I will successfully complete the mission." Kagami, now bursting with confidence, said, "No one can stop me."

If Xiao Xi knew that Earth's oceans would recover, she would surely be pleased.

He entered the Sky Ladder, opened the protective door, and gradually installed the device that secures his body.

"Sky Ladder, activate!"

Countless technicians' fingers flew over the keyboards as they performed final system checks and debugging, recording the data completely.

Soon, these precious records will become further capital for their organization.

Their hearts now hold only one purpose: that Earth be saved by ZECT.

Watching the numbers constantly jumping on the screen, the scientists who completed this system felt filled with joy,

Being able to participate in such an event to save Earth is a great honor for them.

Kagami was tightly bound to his seat; the rapid ascent in altitude made his body feel slightly uncomfortable.

He instinctively clenched his hands; without special space ascent‑descent training, he would probably have vomited already.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, the entire ascent corridor now has only him.

Even all personnel aboard the space station had completed evacuation days earlier; they believed the chance for humans to become Alien Insects should be given to everyone.

Jiang Xia felt his body rising rapidly; he was not strapped to a chair like Kagami.

Instead, he stood aside, waiting quietly; without the rapidly changing scenery outside, one could hardly imagine that he was now on a high‑speed space elevator.

The energy within him also began to churn, and Jiang Xia sensed that the Alien Insect's aura had become extremely close.

The surrounding spacetime particles also began to show some abnormal reactions, becoming more active.

Jiang Xia's expression remained normal, as if he were attending a friend's gathering; his tall body stood before the now pitch‑black window, his gaze calm.

This might succeed or might not, but when the event is about to happen, he becomes remarkably calm—just calm, not cold‑hearted or like an icy heart, none of which exist.

It's like a peaceful morning; the sun outside the window has been up for a while, you just woke up from bed and lazily stretched,

the fan that blew all night is now creaking as it turns; you indifferent‑ly get out of bed and put on your clothes.

At this moment, your classmate or friend—or someone else—is calling you, and you merely smile,

Just like countless times before, you grab your clothes, go downstairs, no need to think or hesitate—just walk.

With a click, the space elevator that had broken free of Earth's gravity came to a stop; Kagami pressed the buckle beside him and freed himself from his bindings.

Kagami took a deep breath, steadied himself, and pressed the button beside him, saying, "Safe arrival; now preparing to open the acceleration system."

"Understood, the coordinates are locked." JiaYouYue said firmly.

She is now the member in charge of proofreading; different choices bring different opportunities and abilities.

"The new era for humanity has now opened; prepare to welcome hope—this is a great moment."

Jiahemei Lu slowly rose to his feet and addressed all the members around him.

Jiahemei Xin also pressed the red start button.

In an instant, countless streams of energy surged from the prepared channels toward the space station at high speed.

The surrounding spacetime particles also began to expand rapidly, and a massive energy channel was opened.

This is the crystallization of Jia Dou World's highest technology, the only tech that can rival the Sea Pa Worm, and in some aspects even surpasses it.

The spacetime channel opened; at this moment the Alien Insect Queen had successfully broken free from another timeline's constraints, leading her army into the Godspeed Love World by controlling spacetime particles.

At this moment Jiang Xia's eyes grew brighter, his pupils slowly vertical, golden runes trickled beneath them, and fine scales began to appear on his body.

The Hundred Insect Sword appeared out of nowhere with the energy surge; several beams of light shot from Jiang Xia's body and fell upon the already broadened blade of the Hundred Insect Sword.

The Jia Dou Insect Instrument and the Haipa Insect Instrument at his waist returned to their places one after another.

Kival bit down on Jiang Xia's wrist, arousing the demonic emperor power within him, and supreme power surged through his body.
