The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Somewhere in the Yan Yun Star Underworld, a substantial population of the Ghost Clan resided. However, the dynamics of power and servitude had shifted drastically.

The former Ghost Clan, under the leadership of Libra, had seized control of the entire Underworld. Now, the former Ghost Clan members enjoyed the status of nobility, while the Latter Ghost Clan had been reduced to mere slaves.

One day, the region was suddenly rocked by violent tremors. In the eyes of the Ghost Clan, such occurrences were somewhat common, as the Underworld often experienced earthquakes that claimed the lives of many Ghost Clan members. Yet, they remained unaware that the cause of this particular earthquake was different.

Roar!

A tremendous roar echoed through the area, and in an instant, all Ghost Clan members were violently shaken to death. Their consciousnesses dispersed into tiny specks of light, drifting towards a specific location and entering a pitch-black opening.

Gulp!

A scarlet beam of light flashed, but there was no sound.

Before long, a colossal creature, comparable in size to a warship, appeared in the airspace above a Red Alert Base. Its massive form immediately drew the attention of all Red Alert units.

The news was relayed instantly, and all weapons within the base were brought online, aimed at the colossal intruder, ready to open fire at a moment's notice.

However, before Su Chen could issue any commands, the gigantic creature made its move.

A thick beam of light shot forth from its mouth and struck the sub-base.

Instantly, a massive Psychic shield materialized, a specialized defense mechanism designed for base protection. This shield, a product of Yun Ru's research, had received System approval and was included in the deluxe package, allowing its construction using Energy Points.

Though it was a somewhat watered-down version of the Iron Curtain Device, its defensive capabilities were far from adequate.

In less than five seconds, the Psychic shield developed cracks. Nevertheless, all manner of weapons within the base, including Patriot missiles, Anti-Aircraft Infantry's anti-air cannons, and Apocalypse Tank missiles, erupted in a storm of explosive firepower. This explosive might finally met the beam of light as the Psychic shield shattered.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion reverberated across a radius of several tens of kilometers. Fortunately, the base had been constructed in an inexpensive location devoid of civilian populations. Otherwise, this explosion alone would have caused widespread panic.

Furthermore, all flying units and aerial weaponry were deployed, ready to bring down the colossal creature in the sky.

The creature resembled an oversized version of a caterpillar, covered in unsettling tentacles that gave it a soft, eerie appearance.

Surprisingly, it was not the flying units and weaponry that acted first; it was the Chronolegionair Troops!

The first to take action was the Hyperspace Sniper, who stood on the ground and fired at the colossal creature. A bullet reached it in the blink of an eye, but it seemed to have no effect, leaving no visible damage.

Next, the Space-Time Assault Team hurled a pseudo-C4 bomb directly at the creature, causing a small wound to appear upon its body. However, the wound quickly healed.

The Psychic Commando coordinated with all units capable of using Psychic powers and directed a Psychic shockwave at the colossal creature. The invisible force of Psychic power seemed to inflict some damage, prompting the creature to bellow in fury and strengthen the power of its beam, suppressing all the firepower from the sub-base.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the sub-base suffered heavy losses. Most of its structures were obliterated, with only a few remaining intact. The units and weapons were nearly wiped out. The power of the colossal creature's beam was no less than that of a superweapon!

At this moment, Su Chen received a notification from the System: "Sub-base No. 1567 severely damaged."

Su Chen clenched his fist. This was the first time, after all this time, that one of his bases had been destroyed.

"Who's the enemy?" he asked.

"The Cosmic Behemoth, Spectral Moth."

"Summon all the Super Soldiers back to Yan Yun Star. We're going to wipe out this unruly bastard!"

Su Chen didn't know why Spectral Moth had launched an attack on his base, but that wasn't important. What mattered was that it had annihilated one of his sub-bases, and for that, it would pay with its own life!

Upon receiving Su Chen's command, all the Super Soldiers dropped what they were doing and assembled in front of Su Chen. Using the base's teleportation function, they arrived at Yan Yun Star's main base.

"Locate Spectral Moth."

In the next moment, an interface appeared, displaying the location of Spectral Moth.

"Spectral Moth is heading towards the next Red Alert Base. Given its speed, it will arrive in just one hour. Commander, please issue your orders."

All the Super Soldiers looked to Su Chen, their eyes brimming with readiness.

As Super Soldiers, the battlefield was where they truly belonged. Each of them was filled with a deep desire for combat.

"Do we have an estimate of Spectral Moth's strength?" Su Chen asked Alice.

"After analysis, Spectral Moth's previous combat performance suggests it's around the fifth tier of Small Galaxy, but we can't rule out the possibility of it hiding its true power."

Su Chen recalled the various pieces of information he had about Spectral Moth. This creature was difficult to deal with, as physical attacks had no effect on it, and only certain types of attacks could harm it.

Initially, he had considered luring Big White Rabbit to engage Spectral Moth in battle, but the plan hadn't been put into action yet, and Spectral Moth had unexpectedly emerged on its own.

"Could it be that it has discovered that I've taken control of the Ghost Clan and cut off its food supply?" Su Chen wondered aloud.

Otherwise, he couldn't fathom why Spectral Moth would target his Red Alert Base. To err on the side of caution, Su Chen had Taru covertly deal with all the Ghost Clan members who had been devout followers of Spectral Moth. Perhaps this action had incited Spectral Moth's rebellion.

It wasn't surprising; anyone would be angered when their food supply was cut off.

The only thing that surprised Su Chen was how quickly Spectral Moth had awakened.

"Come on, let's see if the Cosmic Behemoth is truly as formidable as it's claimed to be!"

Su Chen was brimming with confidence. He had a one-time opportunity to temporarily fuse with a Superweapon. While it wasn't a surefire success, he had at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of killing the Cosmic Behemoth.

All the Super Soldiers were teleported to the sub-base where Spectral Moth was heading, ready for action.

"Natasha, is this your first time participating in such a large-scale battle? Are you nervous?" Yun Ru looked at Natasha's physique, compared it to her own, and pursed her lips.

"Nervous? Not at all. Commander had me go out to deal with the Zerg before, and it was just fine. Maybe it's because I haven't encountered any formidable opponents," Natasha replied with a faint smile, looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Yun Ru didn't expect Natasha to be such a battle enthusiast. It reminded her of someone she hadn't seen in a long time—Guangtou Qiang.

He was also a battle fanatic, and his demeanor during battles was completely different from his usual self.

"They're here!"

In an instant, the Super Soldiers took to the skies, and the massive body of Spectral Moth in the distance became visible to the naked eye. (To be continued...)
