Chapter 272: Crushing Through Subspace
A star body composed entirely of metal, its mass and hardness already far exceed those of a planet whose core is rock.
Moreover, with Xisi personally stationed to provide Hundredfold Amplification, one could say that along the way there's no need to speak of having to confront the Longlin Star rebel forces with a face of utter despair.
Even the reinforcements watching from behind, who were initially exhilarated, have gradually become numb by now.
Even the Green Skin Frenzy on the battle moon, at this moment, watches Longlin Star crush forward, completely lacking the frenzied Waaagh it had at departure.
Because of the exaggerated power disparity, the entire battle becomes utterly dull.
The thing the Sith Kids have done most along the way is, after each victory, habitually fire a few empty cannon blasts.
Besides that, the greatest casualties on this trip are that the Sith Kids couldn't hold back, picking fights among themselves and killing some.
The Green Skin fighting is not a civil war, but a trait inherent to the Green Skin species.
If they don't fight, they regress, so when Dead Spirits stopped battling Green Skin, the Ancient Beastmen, having lost opponents and facing other vulnerable foes, gradually regressed into the present Green Skin.
Only ever more brutal and grand wars can usher evolution for the Green Skin.
Thus this kind of brawling among the Sith Kids is actually a very routine matter for the Green Skin.
Nevertheless, this also shows that Xisi's journey has indeed been overly smooth.
But the smoothness on Xisi's side, when seen by Helusu and others, finally lets them see what Fulikes and his group have actually encountered!
Watching Longlin Star too lazy to fire, it simply rolls straight over the fleet they had arranged.
The entire fortress world ahead was forcibly shattered by Longlin Star.
Helusu, who never saw Longlin Star fire from start to finish, froze completely in place.
Some unknown number of shattered fortress worlds later, the broken star body rolls in lava; Longlin Star's massive form, under the stunned garrison, slowly squeezes through the magma, continuing without any slowdown toward Terra.
Behind Longlin Star lies an equally boundless massive fleet from Outramar and the Xisi Empire.
Even under Helusu's gaze, massive Green Skin waste bays are ejected from the battle moon.
They fall onto those fortress worlds littered with wreckage and the remains of warships.
The warship wreckage is dragged back to the battle moon, then visibly transforms into new garbage ships that slowly rise from the surface.
Some already‑formed garbage ships then charge wildly at the wreckage, slamming all of it onto themselves in a haphazard fashion, reshaping into a highly irregular form that upgrades their warship class from escort to light cruiser.
Even larger stone ships rush into fortress worlds, absorbing rocks and fortresses into their hulls, then continue expanding their size.
At this moment, beside several battle moons, one can see several stone ships that have already taken on a hint of the battle moon's shape!
All of this even unfolds right under the eyes of the Rebel Forces and Helusu.
At this moment, watching Xisi, who never fired from start to finish, incur no losses after the battle, and even conjure more fleets on the spot.
Helusu's widened eyes finally register why Fulikes and his people would rather come back to face him rather than face Xisi!
Such a scene leaves anyone who sees it with nothing but despair!
"What shall we do next?"
Finally, Fugureimu, still harboring a hint of dread, coldly looks at Helusu.
Fugureimu, the long worm, now has no trace of the previous nonchalance on his face.
On his face now even appears the sternness that only appears before Ascending Demon!
On the other side, Angelon, unusually, does not rage and say something about cutting Xisi down.
Instead, after holding back for a while, he follows Fugureimu to look at Helusu:
"If you ask me, we should attack Terra immediately, cut down the false emperor first, then turn back to cut down this bunch of traitors who dared to cooperate with the Alien Form!"
Angelon, unusually, utters a rare rational sentence.
Helusu, seeing Fugureimu and Angelon both intentionally and unintentionally avoid Xisi, his eyes flash a brief expression, then his face remains calm as he looks at the two.
These two aren't entirely unwilling to oppose Xisi; it's also because a two‑front war makes any approach a grave mistake.
Helusu pauses briefly, then turns back to look at the projection of Xisi, who has rolled in unimpeded, and finally nods:
"Go, let the false emperor truly feel our wrath."
Angelon's eyes brighten; without further words, he turns to lead his Devourer straight down onto Terra.
Although Fugureimu is also having his subordinates prepare, before departing he looks at the projection where Xisi has already crushed the last line of defense, the next stop being Terra's Xisi, and asks with slight worry:
"What about that group?"
"They still have one final jump; from here to Terra takes only nine hours."
Helusu's gaze remains on Xisi in the projection; hearing Fugureimu's question, he answers without hesitation:
"In those nine hours, they cannot exit Subspace!"
Helusu is confident, and Fugureimu knows Helusu means the Four Gods will intervene directly.
Besides ambushing some rebel fleets in Subspace, the Four Gods will, according to plan, raise towering waves that completely obscure the Star Torch, while also conjuring thousands of vengeful souls.
Causing Xisi, without the Star Torch's guidance, to never break out of Subspace!
This is precisely the part arranged for Kiriman; Helusu believes Xisi will also be left by the Four Gods.
After all, in Helusu's view at this moment, this galaxy's fleet has no Coordinates for any guiding fleet to traverse Subspace beyond the Star Torch.
Nor could anyone be bold enough to charge head‑on into thousands of vengeful souls!
Even Xisi's ten starships would be drowned outright by those thousands of vengeful souls.
Unless the Four Gods' meticulously prepared illusion is seen through by Xisi at a glance!
Without the Star Torch and unable to see through the illusion, Helusu still doesn't believe Xisi could break out so quickly!
After Fugureimu grasps the situation, he finally feels a bit reassured, turns and leads his legion to the ground to officially engage Terra.
Seeing two massive fleets begin to split from the main fleet, moving toward both sides of Terra to spread the flames worldwide, Helusu is about to issue another order when a harsh alarm suddenly blares from his Bridge.
Before Helusu can wonder what's happening, a Four Gods demon standing beside him, after briefly listening, suddenly widens his eyes.
Then he speaks a line that leaves Helusu's face full of endless confusion:
"Subspace transmission says… says…"
They say there's a Star Torch that directly crushed through Subspace!!!
