Chapter 291: Charging Straight at the Obelisk

Glass ground.

A cold, icy wind rushed over the smooth mirror surface.

The orbit above fell quiet again; no sign of the Empire Fleet, only Dead Spirits warships roamed the void.

In the distant horizon, lone plumes of smoke rose.

It was so far that the scene beneath the lone smoke, hidden by the horizon, could not be seen.

But everyone knew that beneath the lone smoke was either human ash fully disintegrated, or quasi‑human ash not yet fully broken down.

Bang!

A single bomb shattered a dozen Dead Spirits infantry into fragments.

In response, a massive Gaussian beam from a floating Obelisk shot straight at Xisi.

The Gaussian beam scarcely had a notion of flight; the front foot fired, and the rear foot appeared before Xisi's eyes.

Then a flash of golden light flickered, and Xisi could only brace himself against the beam.

He then raised the Black Spear and unleashed a barrage of over a dozen shots at the floating Obelisk.

A violent explosion rang on the Obelisk, scattering massive debris, even toppling several nearby Dead Spirits infantry.

Afterward Xisi retreated while firing even more barrages at that floating Obelisk.

Meanwhile, as Xisi's squad exchanged fire, the Dead Spirits unit that was supposed to assault the refugee shelter was driven farther away by Xisi.

Then Xisi was cut off, repeatedly replaying the just‑fought battle over and over.

Watching the suicidal human squad ahead, a Dead Spirits noble in the giant Obelisk behind the team raised a staff and watched silently.

As the commander of this unit, the Dead Spirits noble possessed a full personality rare among other Dead Spirits.

"Lord, the phase‑shift teleport is ready."

A Dead Spirits technician respectfully approached the noble from behind; hearing the readiness, the noble lifted the staff, preparing to teleport.

Seeing the noble's resolve, the technician couldn't help but object:

"They're just a bunch of humans; Lord, there's no need for you to go personally to cleanse them."

"Leave it to the subordinates."

Hearing the technician's counsel, the noble's stiff mechanical visage stared dead‑silently at the technician, then, while walking toward the phase‑shift, said:

"The Unified Accord is about to be restored; the continent of the Alert Star's Silent King is now under my charge, and I must show sufficient attitude to the Silent King."

After speaking, the noble stepped into the phase‑shift, and the technician, hearing that, said nothing more.

In the final gap of the teleport, the noble's communicator emitted a clear emotional fluctuation:

"A bunch of monkeys, yet they keep resisting my army time after time."

"I will personally show them what..."

Before the words finished, the phase‑shift activated.

The technician was too lazy to continue flattering his superior, and turned his gaze to the projection.

Then a green light screen appeared before the human commander.

Yes, the commander clad in Gilded Silver Armor.

Before the technician could play the noble's introduction, proudly announcing his many titles,

the noble stepped out of the teleportation array, and the human commander behind him raised a hand and blasted the noble into fragments with a single shot!

Technician: "???"

Behind him, the noble's backup body's eyes lit up.

Then the mechanical body descended from the tomb chamber, its eyes staring blankly at the ground.

Noble: "???"

"Is there a problem with the phase‑shift?"

The noble blinked, then voiced the question.

The technician, hearing this, was stunned and looked speechlessly at the noble.

The noble then seemed to think the remark odd, and without asking the technician, walked toward the phase‑shift again.

"It must be that the opening method just now was incorrect."

The figure vanished, and on the distant ground, a green light screen reappeared before Xisi.

This time, without waiting for the noble to emerge, Xisi fired a shot directly.

Its speed was such that, again, the technician had no chance to read out the noble's titles.

Soon, a third body stepped out of the tomb chamber.

This time, the noble's form finally moved; red light flickered in its eyes a few times.

"Humans, you lack martial virtue!"

Undeterred, the noble entered the phase‑shift a third time, this time fully activating all defenses and staring straight at the floating Obelisk ahead, unleashing a barrage of Gaussian light to sweep the ground at Xisi.

Only after completing all this did the noble step back into the phase‑shift.

This time, the technician felt confident, his hand already on the control console, ready to immediately announce the noble's titles.

And then......

The same routine, the same raised hand and shot~

Meanwhile, that floating Obelisk that dared to sweep the ground directly at Xisi remained.

The Gaussian light faded, and another floating Obelisk flickered with green lightning, struggling before crashing to the ground.

A fourth backup body stood in the control room, watching the projection of Xisi as if nothing were wrong.

The Dead Spirits noble, using his incomplete communicator, filled with strong electromagnetic noise, thought for a while before exclaiming in surprise:

"Star God has returned?"

"Not..."

"Why didn't the Silent King notify us?"

The Dead Spirits Nobility couldn't understand; he didn't doubt Xisi's noble identity as a 'Star God'.

After all, being blown up three times in a row was one thing, but how could you, kid, even blow up a floating Obelisk???

Brother, that thing among you humans is almost catching up to the Titan!

The Nobility fell silent; even though his massive Obelisk had many spare bodies prepared, it still couldn't withstand this method of delivery.

The Nobility stood dumbfounded, truly unable to understand how they had run into a Star God.

And why does this Star God look like a human!

The Nobility couldn't make sense of it, and the humans who had been running ahead with the Dead Spirits also suddenly stopped at this moment.

Seeing this, the Nobility was startled, then overjoyed, and quickly pointed a finger at Xisi:

"Quick!"

"Focus fire!"

But when faced with orders from their own superior, this time the technician didn't respond immediately.

Instead, he glanced at the current direction and then projected an image directly in front of the Nobility.

It was an image that kept pulling Xisi higher; in the picture, Xisi and his group didn't seem to be caught up to, but rather seemed to have arrived!

Because directly ahead of Xisi stood a towering black stone Obelisk, standing silently.

At the same time, watching the Nobility's troops continuously fire Gauss at Xisi, there was a considerable risk of stray shots.

Within the black stone Obelisk's guard unit, a local technician was frantically sending a message to the Nobility, urging them not to use high‑power Gauss.

Seeing this, the Nobility finally halted and ordered the technician to shut down all the massive Obelisks.

Only the Dead Spirits powered down, but the humans ahead, after a brief silence, suddenly pulled the trigger on the Dead Spirits inside the Obelisk ahead.

Because beneath the Obelisk, a crowd of human women and children were cramped together.

And on the platform ahead, adjusting the Obelisk's effect,

was already filled with a stunned crowd, tens of thousands of soulless women and children turned into living corpses!!!
