hear, from all directions of Naiya City, the earth-shaking roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More Level 8 Shelter Cities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in the short time just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 8 Shelter City Ghost King City, Quel City, Shili City, appeared all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following closely behind were Meng City, Wusi City, Heluo

warning at all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reya’s delicate little face was full of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This siege was too sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s no exaggeration to say—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Level 8 Shelter Cities on this A3 Planet were present!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their target was Naiya City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reya and the other Moore Star People had no time to ponder why these Level 8 Cities would simultaneously besiege Naiya City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she had to consider was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to secure a sliver of hope for Naiya City in this siege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negotiation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Quel City Lord’s attitude, Reya could tell there was no room for maneuver in this siege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the palace of the City Lord’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao and others appeared as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never expected that, after flying Dawn City to find Yu Jin, in the end...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d be pulled into this ’Level 8 Shelter City Showdown.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, even though Ghost King City and other powers were all coming for Naiya City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of Dawn City in the skies was too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ghost King City and others showed up, Dawn City came under attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks came from several figures clad in Mechanical Battle Armor, their auras terrifying, slashing out with a sword that nearly shattered Dawn City’s energy shield in one strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, Dawn City had to descend above Naiya City, seeking shelter under Naiya City’s energy shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, a few more assaults and Dawn City would crash from the sky and be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City’s sky trait was powerful, but ultimately it was only a Level 6 Shelter City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City and Naiya City had truly become like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a bit guilty; Yu Jin had only been absent a short time and it seemed she had messed everything up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City being dragged into such a war was undoubtedly extremely dangerous...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most important thing now is to ensure the President’s safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao and others met Yu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter was still in deep sleep, and that right arm which vanished at the shoulder was so conspicuous...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Reya and the Moore Star People had welcomed back their king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our king!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven Tier Eight Evolvers of Naiya City called out in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Naiya remained asleep, gave no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the palace was heavy and oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it Dawn City or Naiya City, their strongest had yet to awaken...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost King City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin Zorn, led tens of millions of Evolvers, storming out the city gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasha and Aili were among them as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both their faces were grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for their heaviness...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked up at the four guards behind Austin Zorn, always sticking close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just yesterday,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Ghost King City’s Tier Eight Evolvers, for reasons unknown, was slain by the four guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Austin Zorn watched coldly the whole time, never intervening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slain Tier Eight Evolver was once Zorn’s most capable subordinate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zorn valued him more than his own sister Nasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Tier Eight Evolver still died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how you looked at this, it reeked of the bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zorn’s behavior was becoming less and less like himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasha even wondered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that figure ahead really still her own brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aili’s mood was even heavier and more depressed than Nasha’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used ’Farsightedness’ to see the other Level 8 Shelter Cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, the status of the other Tier Eight Extreme City Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aili discovered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it Quel City Lord, Ten Li City Lord, the other Level 8 Shelter City Lords, each had four figures in Mechanical Battle Armor and sci-fi masks right behind them—’guards.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aili didn’t believe they were guards at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the ’guard’ acted in Ghost King City earlier, their aura made Aili suspect they far surpassed the power of a Tier Nine Evolver...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What on earth happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems everything changed in such a short time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aili fell silent, unable to help recalling Yu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were here—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, even if he were, he could never stop this group of mysterious ’guards.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aili didn’t even know what these ’guards’ were after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to destroy and suppress Naiya City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be that simple...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time crept by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half day passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this half day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armies of Evolvers from every Level 8 Shelter City converged on all sides of Naiya City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking from the city walls, the numbers of incoming enemies approached a hundred million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This half day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost King City and others didn’t launch an attack right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to deliberately give Naiya City time to prepare for war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya City, too, mobilized all its Evolvers—tens of millions of Moore Star People picked up their weapons, ready to defend their city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City, dragged into a terrifying life-or-death war, had no way to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Naiya City with a century of accumulated power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City now had only a little over two million subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most had just joined Dawn City, only recently awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Tiers were mostly only Tier Two or Tier Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of Dawn City’s subordinates weren’t high Tier either, mostly Tier Three or Tier Four, with Tier Five Evolvers already counted as elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Dawn City’s top combatants——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao, Chen Gang, Neil, were all Tier Seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yunpeng and other long-term core members of Dawn City were still at Tier Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power was far, far less than the 8 Level Shelter Cities like Ghost King City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn City had developed rapidly, but since Yu Jin took charge, it had only been, at most, twenty days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty days of rapid growth still couldn’t hope to match the decades or nearly a century of accumulation by Ghost King City and other Level 8 Shelter Cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only the President would wake up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Yin Yao and others realize how much Yu Jin meant to Dawn City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only our king would awaken...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moore Star subordinates in Naiya City now knew about Naiya’s slumber, and shared that same hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half day passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange thing was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost King City and the other Level 8 Shelter Cities still didn’t attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply surrounded Naiya City layer upon layer, as if waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are they waiting for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the people of Naiya City and Dawn City, even Nasha, Aili and others of Ghost King City couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at the four guards behind Austin Zorn, unable to help guessing, but found no answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The A337 Area, Naiya City and its surroundings, became immersed in an extremely bizarre atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Naiya City, over a hundred million Evolvers sharpened their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Naiya City, tens of millions resolved to fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just couldn’t start the fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost King City and others wouldn’t attack, Naiya City certainly couldn’t strike out first—it’d be suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This great showdown seemed to be silently woven into a net by some unseen hand, waiting for something to enter the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the second day since Naiya City was surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the sixth day Yu Jin had been in deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Naiya City, an utterly terrifying aura erupted towards the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice and fire intertwined, prophecy peered at fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our king!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The king of Naiya City, the leader of Moore Star—has awakened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Naiya City, tens of millions of subordinates were ecstatic, many Moore Star People weeping from joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naiya has awoken...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Dawn City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao, Chen Gang and the others looked up at the small figure wrapped in ice and fire in the sky, feeling a surge of excitement themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya’s awakening clearly gave them more hope of winning this showdown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bizarre happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Naiya awoke, actively revealing their Tier Nine aura—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Ghost King City and other Level 8 Shelter Cities still didn’t retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither retreat nor attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were waiting, waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Ghost King City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasha and Aili were now utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just them—Quel City, Shili City and the other Level 8 Shelter Cities’ Tier Eight Evolvers were all demanding answers from their City Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wait?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Tier Eight Evolvers were executed on the spot by ’guards.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Tier Eight Evolvers, except Nasha and Aili, finally realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind this bizarre siege, there seemed to be hidden puppet-masters pulling the strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So powerful, powerful enough to mobilize all Level 8 Shelter Cities on A3 Planet, strong enough to make Zorn, Quel, Javin and the other Tier Eight Extreme City Lords ’obedient.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost King City, deep within the City Lord’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the core area, a figure in a Commander’s uniform quietly gazed at Naiya City in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sensing, sensing the aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya’s Tier Nine aura made him a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By rights, with such a high baseline pollution level on A3 Planet, Tier Nine Evolvers shouldn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya’s Tier Nine actually further proved his initial plan and assessment was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmured, his hands gently stirring the air in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void, it seemed there were invisible, fine threads, twisting with each movement of his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet another full day passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the threads in his hand broke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sounded a quiet surprise, stood up, stared intently at Naiya City nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving on A3 Planet, Holland Benitez, this Salsa High-Level Fleet Commander, wore a smile for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you were always in Naiya City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you live up to the
