Chapter 263: What

As one of the only two major clusters in the galaxy now.

When Xisi led the allied forces out of Markurag, officially leaving the Eastern star sector and entering the Core Area, the already turbulent galaxy began to grow even more ambiguous.

Helusu both intensified reconnaissance on Xisi and accelerated the advance on Terra.

At the same time, a substantial portion of forces was dispatched to place heavy defenses along Xisi's inevitable path.

They hoped to delay Xisi as much as possible, buying precious time to seize Terra for themselves.

And as Helusu's executor of the will to stall Xisi, the task fell to the steel warrior war smith Fulikes.

At this moment, the portal of the Solar star sector, Galmon star region.

Fulikes led a contingent of steel warriors and a large number of mortal auxiliary troops, carrying out massive defensive construction throughout the star region.

On the main planet, Fulikes, faced with the engineering report sent by his subordinates, showed obvious displeasure.

"We must not only repair the defensive facilities left by the former false emperor's lackeys, but also, according to my plan, fully optimize the entire star region's defense system."

"War General pays special attention to our defensive work, providing us with ample manpower, and even the Subspace gods will help us defend."

"I've already sent a promise to War General: as long as I'm here, that pack of lackeys won't get within a step of Terra!"

Fulikes shouted to his troops, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of the front line.

In fact, what Fulikes was preparing at this moment was the ultimate upgraded version originally meant to counter Kiriman.

In this defensive system, Fulikes does not seek to defeat Xisi, nor even to inflict damage; he only aims to slow Xisi as much as possible, and his hindering ability is already more than sufficient in Fulikes' and Helusu's eyes.

Besides the entire star region's defenses, there are also Subspace storms and a super illusion directly deployed by the Four Gods, conjuring countless vengeful souls!

It can be said that under the almost shameless obstruction of the Four Gods, Kiriman's tardiness is quite understandable.

Now, with numerous reports indicating that the arriving reinforcements far exceed expectations, Helusu's side has also prepared defenses for Xisi far beyond the original plan.

Even Fulikes, who leads the whole delaying operation, has boasted before Helusu more than once, and has shown ultimate confidence before his subordinates as well.

"So the same old line."

"As long as I'm here, I'll deal with whatever."

"No one thinks they can get past me!"

"Thus the Fulikes stationed at the front has turned the entire star region into a delaying stronghold."

"You'll find it hard to cross this area quickly."

Aolake Bridge.

Kanglade stood before the projected sand table, recounting Helusu's plan in detail.

Though it wasn't the latest deployment plan, it was at least close to the mark.

At that moment on the bridge, Kiriman displayed the Loyalist faction's deployment directly before Kanglade.

Kanglade, indifferent to the details, also laid out the plan previously conveyed by Helusu in front of Xisi.

The current Aolake command room exuded a kind of unabashed "candor."

After all, large‑scale army operations are essentially open cards.

It's not about who's smarter, but whose hand is bigger!

Although Xisi's hand is still overall weaker than Helusu's, at the top‑tier power level he already outmatches Helusu by a head.

Yet Kanglade can see clearly that Xisi still has second‑ and third‑round cards up his sleeve!

As one of the few in the galaxy who knows both Helusu's and Xisi's details, for Kanglade this great rebellion has essentially already ended.

Therefore Kanglade speaks of Helusu's plan now without any mental burden.

"When we return to the real universe later, the first obstacle will be a defense position entirely reshaped from meteors."

"Just these meteors alone will be hard to get through for a while."

After Kanglade finished speaking, he even watched Kiriman hurriedly follow his words, marking a new defensive line on the star map; Kanglade thought carefully and meticulously made micro‑adjustments for Kiriman.

Seeing the meteor fortress almost directly thrust into the Leap exit, Kiriman grew a bit irritated.

"Helusu, you're so scheming!"

"If there's no defense, the front leg goes out and the rear leg gets smashed!"

Kiriman, looking at the precise defensive line Kanglade drew, retorted outright.

Luojia also watched the sand‑table projection, remained silent for a moment, did not alter his deployment, and turned to look at Xisi.

"Sir, we have only the last ten‑odd minutes before leaving Subspace; should we still follow the original plan?"

Original plan?

Not that Kanglade hasn't heard of it; some are curious, and even Kiriman wonders what original plan Xisi still has here.

Xisi, looking at the projected defenses, confirmed they were purely physical forces, with no Subspace involvement yet, and silently nodded.

"Let Aolake retreat to the second line; additionally, we'll prepare to transfer the flagship."

Xisi spoke, leaving Kanglade and Kiriman even more puzzled.

They didn't understand why the flagship should be transferred at this moment.

Although there are ten star‑craft vessels on the outskirts, nine of them are Green Skin battle moons.

It's not that we look down on battle moons, but is that environment really suitable for commanding the whole army?

And if we avoid the battle moons, must we move the flagship to the demon‑infested Longlin Star?

Kiriman and Kanglade grew increasingly confused; moving to Longlin Star isn't impossible, but is it necessary?

The two couldn't figure it out, while Washituoer, who had been waiting bitterly, thought it was very necessary.

Because even Washituoer was curious: after a Hundredfold, how shameless will Longlin Star become!

The Four Gods, to give Helusu a chance to decide the final battle on Terra, directly staged a shameless act?

Then what face should Xisi talk to them about? Isn't it already shameless?

Then today I'll be completely shameless.

Very quickly, after a direct burst of teleportation, Xisi and his companions arrived at the control room of Longlin Star.

Then, looking at the Longlin Star control room that Washituoer had thoughtfully refurbished, Xisi statues stood everywhere.

Luojia gave Washituoer a speechless glance, and Kanglade and Kiriman were also amazed; they had only heard that mortals worship an evil god, but this evil god worshipping mortals was a first.

Xisi, meanwhile, watched as Longlin Star surged out of Subspace, and after a dense cluster of meteorite fortresses appeared ahead, he finally settled his body into Longlin Star's pilot seat.

Then, the scene unfolding before them made Kanglade and Kiriman stare with eyes wide open......

At the same time, the urgent report from the meteorite fortresses was expedited and delivered to Fulikes, who was further back.

Just a second earlier, Fulikes had been bragging loudly about how impenetrable his defenses were; a second later, faced with the urgent intelligence, he suddenly raised the report and stood upright:

"What do you mean......"

"... trampled over you???"
