NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25: Greetings from Earth
Frost Plating Federation, Otrahan Mine, these are the remnants of a Stellar Path left by the old Yamiriko Federation. In the past, it was always abandoned, buried, and ignored.
Frost Plated spent forty years opening up this Stellar Path, not for anything else, but to eliminate Lord Entropy.
Now, everything is complete.
"The particle accelerator is in position, all personnel are ready."
A Frost Plated engineer made the call, solemnly saying:
"Calling Sky Ring, calling Sky Ring! This is Frost Plated, preparations complete."
Soon after, a response came from Sky Ring:
"Calling Frost Plated, calling Frost Plated! This is Sky Ring, we have completed deployment and are ready to launch at any time. However, we cannot reach Gretto and the comrades of the Phantom Palace, please make the decision."
At a moment involving national secrets and determining the fate of humanity, the People of Sky Ring chose to unconditionally trust Frost Plated.
This trust transcended species and culture, tightly binding humanity's fate together.
"Frost Plated received, I will consult Sir David Lyn immediately."
"Understood, we are on standby at any time," the people from Sky Ring shouted, "Good luck, compatriots of Frost Plated."
The Frost Plated engineer nodded heavily:
"Good luck to you too, comrades of Sky Ring."
After speaking, he immediately switched to the President's direct line:
"Please inform Sir David Lyn, our particle accelerators with the Sky Ring Republic are all in place, everything is calibrated and ready for activation."
"Understood," the assistant looked at David Lyn, "Sir, the pregnancy is stable, ready to deliver at any moment."
"Give me the phone."
David Lyn in the bunker took over the phone; at this moment, he appeared no different than usual and calmly said:
"Sing the birthday song for the baby's arrival."
.........
An obsidian matte metal cylinder penetrated the earth, approximately several stories high. This solid metal body was made of unknown materials, but judging by the recent efficacy, it exceeded at least twenty thousand tons.
Even though Caramel Snail, having been to space, knew that this kind of pure high-mass kinetic strike could, at any time, achieve significant destructive effect.
But…
Staring at the familiar id turned gray, Caramel Snail's mind went blank.
"What on earth happened?"
Li Aozi arrived on the scene, a familiar aura lingered in the air around.
"The account of Cumin Powder shows as deleted and canceled—it's the 'Lai Anding Protocol' that's been directly penetrated."
Lanan summarized, while her eyes glowed in a faint silver-gray, activating her Spirit Realm vision and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
"Can something penetrate the 'Lai Anding Medical Protocol'?"
Severston picked up a nano rifle, exchanging a look with Li Aozi:
"Then it has to be Society..."
"To be precise," Li Aozi clenched his fist, Qi energy coursing through his body, "It's the Secret Society."
Caramel Snail was momentarily dazed, but quickly regained combat vigilance. He deployed a row of sensing mines around him, gripping his knife with one hand, and rapidly morphed with the other, ejecting an implant gear rifle. Leaning against cover, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings.
"Detected hostile approach."
Lanan slightly lifted her head, swiftly reporting:
"At the 7 o'clock direction, altitude 230 meters, 90 meters ahead—take evasive action!"
Even before she announced the positions, the three had already moved.
"Move aside!"
Dragon Sect - Immovable Body
Li Aozi's eyes enkindled with a red blaze, activating a Gang Qi Shield in place, funneling Qi energy through his entire body's meridians, instantly locking all his nerves—an advanced state of 'Immovable Body' within Dominator Body.
Clang!
The Gang Qi Shield rippled with waves, a pale claw grazed his forehead, spinning once in the air before quietly landing, transforming into a slender young man.
"Did you react before being informed?"
The latter, with cobalt blue short hair, dressed like a noble gentleman from the early Industrial Era, casually sharpened his claws, eyes indifferent, and said to Li Aozi:
"Your alertness is commendable, even as an Astrologer like myself, only relying on omens can match up to it."
Entering battle readiness—
Information acquisition failed
Target is hidden
"Indeed a secret senator, isn't it?"
Severston squinted, Lanan timely relayed:
"Severston, 11 o'clock position, speed 349m/s, quickly dodge!"
Severston nonchalantly tilted his head, dodging the swift impact while turning and drawing a large-caliber revolver, firing continuously at the woman who brushed past.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Appraisal
The rapidly passing woman tossed her hair back, revealing a face of mad greed. Simultaneously, a massive pink tongue swiftly protruded from the Void, quickly extending, wrapping up all the bullets, swallowing them back into the Void, as the woman immediately cradled her face, revealing a satisfied expression.
"Delicious life force bullets—indeed, being a Gourmet is the happiest!"
Bang!
While she was indulged in the taste, Severston immediately swung a pink-blue pathway tentacle, lashing it toward her!
Impromptu Creation
"…And just then, the wheels of fate started turning—a bolt of lightning descended from the clear sky, precisely dispersing the tentacle. Hence, our lovely Gourmet Ms. Chen Xiaochen was so lucky to be saved."
