Chapter 606: Omniscient Anthem

The gap between the guys from Ring 207 and people like Haosen, Defatandisi, and the Dragon Lady is not just a simple matter of Anthem level; in terms of influence and mature teams, the difference is even more vast.

Li Hao arrived at the Anthem Arbitration Center. The staff he saw were all Mechanical Race. This is not a specific trait of the Arbitration Center, but rather the same for all Anthems; the staff at the arbitration centers are all staffed by the Mechanical Race. This is to keep the Anthem Center free from interference, and the Mechanical Race, by adhering to set laws, are the most reliable. In some respects, this also grants benefits to the Mechanical Race, as they shoulder a great deal within the Star River Alliance.

The Anthem arbitration is directed at the Three Laws of the Mechanical Race:

One, abide by the Submarine Convention;

Two, abide by the established Shengge Law;

Three, protect the privacy of Anthem Warriors;

Upon entering the Anthem Arbitration Center, he did not wait long before receiving service from the Mechanical Race.

"Sergeant Li Hao, is there anything I can help you with?" After becoming a Sergeant, the attitude of the Mechanical Race was exceptionally good.

"I completed a few tasks and would like to hand them in. I'm not sure how to go about it," Li Hao asked, as he didn't even know if what he did would count.

Li Hao was completely dumbfounded. It was over. What tasks did he accept? At the time, he didn't know if the Anthem was a rock or an egg. He had been fumbling in the dark—had he been working for nothing?

The disparity was a bit large, and Li Hao knew very well the weight of the things he had done if they corresponded to tasks.

Seeing Li Hao's ugly expression, the Mechanical Race showed no reaction. "Is there anything else you need?"

"Cough, cough. If I didn't accept a task but completed it anyway, how is that situation handled?"

"That situation is relatively complex. You need to provide evidence for the Shengge System to make a primary judgment. If it is judged as qualified, it must then be submitted to the Sacred Song Committee for a secondary judgment. However, if it is discovered during the process that you did not accept the task, you will be subject to severe punishment based on the circumstances," the Mechanical Race replied.

Not all Mechanical Race are as personable as Kashika. Seeing Li Hao stunned, the Mechanical Race immediately went to serve others. Li Hao originally wanted to leave, but thinking that since he was already here, it would be a good thing if even one of them qualified.

Li Hao entered the task handover system and immediately appeared in a virtual space. A pleasant voice sounded in his ears, and a beautiful Celestial woman appeared. This was formed by the "Machine Lord" of the Mechanical Race. The Machine Lord is equivalent to the "host" of all Mechanical Race, similar to the Ghost Spring of the Ghost Race or the Insect Emperor of the Insectoid. Because of their life forms, their composition is fundamentally different from Celestials and Sea People; for instance, things like "freedom" or "equality" are quite laughable concepts to these races.

"Very well, Sergeant Li Hao," the Celestial woman waved her fair hand, and a 3D screen appeared. "You have one SSS Ji task, two SS-level tasks, nine S-Class tasks, and two A-Class tasks available for submission."

But after all, he had seen the world. Li Hao still controlled his emotions to prevent a hollow joy. If he were being teased, Li Hao would truly break down. Then, he checked the task list in detail. They were actually all the tasks Bleem had told him to do. He had complained infinitely at the time, but now... he found them sweet.

Under normal circumstances, tasks of these levels require considerable qualifications to be accepted, and they would always require mobilizing a fleet. It is very likely that Bleem is not a ghost or god, but a force that possesses power.

Li Hao's favorability toward Bleem +10!

Currently at -99990.......

Li Hao took out the items from his backpack and placed them in the designated positions, canceling the tasks one by one. As he did so, his mind raced. Either Bleem had hacked the Shengge System, or Bleem had made preparations in advance. Therefore, it was certain that Bleem must exist within the Star Alliance and was very knowledgeable about the Anthem. This time, he had truly gotten close.

Not all task targets perfectly matched the requirements, but Li Hao didn't care. He handed in as many as he had and answered the system's questions as needed. One of them was a real pity; because he went to get that sword, he didn't have time to recover the Void creature's bone core. He originally thought he had profited, but now he felt a bit distressed.

Handing in the tasks was quite cumbersome; Li Hao spent over an hour on it. "Alpha Tilisi, who accepted these tasks?"

Li Hao knew himself that he hadn't accepted these tasks at all. Either the rules were broken, or there was something else. But the reason the Anthem Center is controlled by the Mechanical Race is that rules cannot be broken; if the Mechanical Race violates the laws, large-scale chaos will occur. If that were the case, then Bleem would be related to the Machine Lord of the Mechanical Race. If the rules weren't broken, then the person who accepted the tasks would be closer to the truth.

"Sergeant Li Hao, there is a record of you in the task acceptance list. I do not have the authority to view the others," Alpha Tilisi smiled.

Though she looked like a Celestial, she was actually a virtual image formed by the Mechanical Race.

"Can I see it myself?" Li Hao asked. "There are some details I'd like to look at."

"I'm sorry, you are not the Team Leader of the task, so you currently do not have the authority to view it."

Li Hao already knew what he wanted, and he knew he couldn't get more from here. "When will the task judgment come down?"

"Because your task levels are extremely high and belong to a confidential grade, they will be judged sequentially according to the different levels of the tasks. Please wait with peace of mind. Of course, if you have any objections to the progress, you may file an appeal," Alpha Tilisi answered very patiently.

"Thank you." Li Hao was in a great mood.

"You are too kind. It is my honor to serve you," Alpha Tilisi bowed elegantly.

Not long after, Li Hao whistled a rogue tune as he walked out of the Anthem Arbitration Center. This was the happiest day he had had in over a year. If they could really be judged—he didn't even need all of them, just two or three would feel like a massive boost. Even if he didn't reach Sergeant Major, he would likely be very close. He needed to quickly become a Sergeant Major capable of entering the Heavenly Ladder so that his brothers scattered across the universe could see him.

For a moment, the excited Li Hao decided to condemn his own high-mindedness and continue to harvest some alien leeks; mosquito meat is meat, too.

Depuya, Perkins, Taichen, and Weijia were in the Omniscient Anthem of the Charks Mechanical Empire. Life was originally decent enough; the Mechanical Race's Anthem also provided ways for other races to use Universe Power, though the intensity was indeed inferior to those well-known Anthems. Of course, the technology here was the best in the entire Star River, each with its own characteristics. Besides Depuya and his group, the Solar System had also sent many technical personnel, and the existence of Depuya and the others was, to some extent, to maintain these people.

The past year had been fine, and while the slow progress made them anxious, it was much better than being with the Insectoids. That was until the recent arrival of a group of over fifty Orcs, and the situation changed instantly. Since the Orcs arrived, they had clashed more than ten times. The Orcs' strikes grew heavier each time. They had protested to the Anthem, but because no one had died, the Mechanical Race ignored these matters. Of course, the Orcs cleaned up the evidence as much as possible each time, and if they really couldn't hide it, they would find someone to take the fall, so there was never any serious punishment. In terms of the ratio of combat personnel here, the Orcs held an absolute advantage.

This was the Orcs' new plan. Although there were warships patrolling near Kepler, it was mainly to apply pressure. I am here; whether I strike or not, no one knows, and no one can be sure they really won't strike. This kind of unresolved pressure was definitely a threat to Kepler.

And just this alone wasn't enough. The high-level officials of the Lalutu Empire had already formulated an "Expulsion Plan," which was to send Orc warriors to the Anthems where Humans were present. By applying pressure to the Human Anthem Warriors, they would force the Solar System to submit. Warship deterrence, while simultaneously cutting off the channels for Humans to quickly integrate into the Star Alliance—they didn't believe the Humans wouldn't submit. The blade of the Arbitration Anthem had also received orders, but the blade-library direct support sent to him was simply wiped out, and the blade-jackal dropped by 8 levels. This loss was huge. The plan against Li Hao had to be considered long-term; the Orcs also realized that Li Hao dared to be so "presumptuous" because he had the strength, but one person was useless. They could first eliminate all the opposition around Li Hao.

Let's see if he feels despair, and whether he submits or not!

Perkins, Depuya, Taichen, and Weijia were all experts of the Apocalypse. The battles with the Orcs during this period also kept them under high pressure. They basically traveled in groups to prevent sneak attacks by the Orcs.

Fadi Gu's vertical pupils also revealed a fierce look. In order to kill these few Humans, he had put in quite a bit of effort. It was extremely

dangerous within the Anthem, so it had to be done cleanly and beautifully. When the time came, he would just find two Orcs to take the blame. He was determined to exterminate the Humans. Not all Anthems were like this; the Mechanical Race had always been indifferent to the struggles of other races, so the high-level officials decided to strike hard under the Omniscient Anthem.

Although they had the protection of the Celestial Armament, the injuries on the four of them were worsening. More than ten Orcs had set up a combat barrier; the Orcs had also invested heavily, but half of the Orcs were already injured. They hadn't expected that at the moment of life and death, these four people could erupt with such terrifying power, but they were already at the end of their rope.

"Depuya, this won't work. We'll cover you; find a way to break out! Damn it, we can't all die here!" Perkins roared.

"Screw it, remember to have Li Ge avenge us!" Weijia's Celestial Armament was already shattered, and his right arm was broken.
