Chapter 1520: Chaos Sanguinius

On the orbit, inside the bridge of the flagship of the Kaoquanzao Free Territory.

Delin stood before the main display screen, watching the outline of the rift that was continuously expanding on the planet's surface below.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from behind him; the Adjutant ran over from the communications console on the side.

Commander! The energy fluctuations on the surface of the Third Colonial Star are still climbing! The sensors can no longer precisely detect the internal structure of the rift; we only know that the rift is continuing to expand and has already exceeded three times the width previously estimated!

Furthermore, the number of units pouring out of the rift is still increasing. The ground is covered with those red armed units; they have already covered the entire area outside the Shengfu Chengqu and are moving toward the Orbital Port!

Delin's lips parted slightly, and he asked.

How many ground troops are still alive? Is there any signal coming back from the Xikushi United Nations?

The Adjutant looked down at the Data Pad and shook his head, saying.

Communications with the ground troops were cut off after the field reactor detonated.

Delin withdrew his gaze from the rift still expanding on the planet's surface and ordered.

Record the situation here in full; pack and encode all sensor data, communication logs, and combat footage, and send it to the Kaoquanzao Free Territory General Command.

Mark it with Highest Priority, label it as an urgent military situation, and suggest an immediate high-level meeting. I fear we won't be able to return either; these Kazili Zerg are much stronger than before and even harder to deal with!

The Communications Officer's fingers operated rapidly on the console and said.

Commander, our fleet has been surrounded by Zerg escort units. Even if we send all the data back, we might not hold out until the upload is complete.

Delin steadied his tone.

Send as much as you can; letting the Free Territory know what happened here is more important than us returning alive.

"Yes!"

On the surface of the Third Colonial Star, in front of the rift.

The gravel ground was strewn with the wreckage of Zerg and Xikushi soldiers. These Chaos Space Marines had already established a perimeter with a radius of about five hundred meters in this area; any living thing that attempted to approach the rift was sliced into unrecognizable fragments by Chainswords or Chainaxes.

The width of the rift had stabilized at about fifty meters.

At this moment, a tall figure walked completely out of the rift.

The nearest few red-armored warriors stopped moving simultaneously; that figure's height exceeded three and a half meters.

A pair of wings stained red with blood unfolded behind him. The contours of his facial features could vaguely reveal the bone structure of a once-handsome and upright face, but now it looked extremely ugly and terrifying.

After Hun-dun Shengjiliesi walked out of the rift, he sensed the environment around him.

Then he lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Chaos Blood Angels who were kneeling on one knee.

The Chaos Blood Angel who had rushed out of the rift first knelt on one knee and said in a sincere voice.

Father, we are clearing all threat units around the rift. There were originally two warring forces on this planet: one was the Alien defense force on the ground, and the other was the Alien fleet in orbit.

The Zerg were a third party that appeared midway; they had already caused massive destruction before we arrived. Currently, the ground battlefield is being brought under our control.

Hun-dun Shengjiliesi's lips moved slightly, and his scar-covered face pulled into a smile.

Can the Alien fleet in orbit still hold off the Zerg?

The warrior kneeling on the ground wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth and replied.

According to the intelligence gathered after our arrival, the Kaoquanzao Free Territory fleet has already had most of its area surrounded by Zerg escort units, and the remaining ships are attempting to retreat along a route that has not been completely blocked.

They cannot hold out for long; the Xikushi United Nations ground troops have all been cleared, and no more signals of their organized resistance have been detected on the surface.

Hun-dun Shengjiliesi raised his head and looked at the starry sky.

I seem to have sensed something interesting. When the spatial structure of this planet was torn open, I perceived something—something very far away but approaching this direction.

I cannot fully describe what it is yet, but its very existence is worth noting. Before that, I need to prepare.

He lowered his gaze and said in a calm tone.

First, take full control of this planet, then stabilize the rift and make it a gateway.

Yes, Father.

Meanwhile, at the Kaoquanzao Free Territory Zhongshu Xing, at the headquarters' emergency Meeting Room.

A massive Holographic Star Map hovered in the center of the Meeting Room, with the location of the Third Colonial Star marked as a flashing red dot.

More than a dozen high-ranking officials of the Kaoquanzao Free Territory sat around the star map.

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a staff member wearing the light-colored uniform of the diplomatic department walked in quickly, bowed his head, and said something to the Military Chief sitting nearby.

After hearing those words, the Military Chief's expression changed, and he stood up and said.

Secretary-General Jiadelin of the Xikushi United Nations has just sent a communication request via an emergency channel. He said that they also detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the direction of the Third Colonial Star and have confirmed that all signals from the Xikushi United Nations garrison on the ground have disappeared. He suggests that both sides should temporarily cease fire and immediately convene a joint meeting to discuss response plans.

The Meeting Room was quiet for a moment, then someone spoke up.

A joint meeting with them? We were just bombing each other, and now we are going to have a meeting together?

The Military Chief said.

The situation on the Third Colonial Star has exceeded the scope of conventional warfare. According to the last video log sent back by Commander Delin, some kind of power we have never seen before has appeared on that planet.

The armed units pouring out of that rift cleared both the Zerg and the ground troops, and they are fast, with their scale still expanding.

If this power continues to spread to surrounding planets, it will not distinguish between the Kaoquanzao Free Territory and the Xikushi United Nations; it will attack everything in its path indiscriminately.

It is meaningless to continue dealing with this separately at this time; we at least need to know what information the other side possesses.

Seeing that no one else raised any objections, the Military Chief began to make arrangements.

A few minutes later, a holographic communication window rose above the star map in the center of the Meeting Room, and Jiadelin's image appeared in the window.

Jiadelin spoke directly.

You should have already received the data from the direction of the Third Colonial Star. All ground troops deployed by the Xikushi United Nations on that planet have lost contact. Spectral analysis of the energy fluctuations shows that it was an unnatural spatial structure collapse event.

I want to know if you have any more sensor data regarding the internal structure of that rift.
