The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Su Chen immediately checked the effectiveness of this brand-new Superweapon. The displayed effect indicated an instant upgrade device capable of temporarily enhancing the strength of any Red Alert unit of the Third Order.

Upon seeing this effect, Su Chen was utterly astounded. What kind of artifact was this?

"System, are you sure there's no mistake with this effect?" Su Chen felt that the Superweapon was proving itself to be even more impressive than expected, as if it truly lived up to its reputation as a civilian version. The effect was simply incredible.

It's worth noting that there were no restrictions on the types of Red Alert units mentioned here, whether they were infantry, weapons, buildings, or even Superweapons; this device worked for all of them.

The fact that a Superweapon could enhance another Superweapon left Su Chen feeling he was still too young in this world.

"Please, Master, rest assured. There is no issue with the Superweapon's effect. However, Master should remember that the duration of the Superweapon's instant upgrade device effect varies depending on the level of enhancement. If Master enhances the Third Order strength of First-tier Red Alert soldiers, the enhancement will last for several days. But if Master enhances the Third Order strength of Super Soldiers, like those with the current Second-tier Small Galaxy strength, it will only last for a maximum of one hour."

Su Chen understood; this meant that the stronger the unit being enhanced, the shorter the duration of the effect.

Even so, it was more than enough. Sometimes, battles came down to that crucial moment, and in such cases, not only would his Superweapon's power multiply, but his own Super Soldiers would also receive a temporary boost in strength.

Second-tier Small Galaxy Super Soldiers could instantly become Fifth-tier Small Galaxy, more than doubling their power.

"I wonder what goodies the next nine cards will bring," Su Chen said with great anticipation.

He clicked on the second card, revealing an image of a person holding a hoe.

Farmer: Increases land cultivation speed by 0% and slightly boosts crop yield.

Su Chen: "???"

"System, don't tell me that farmers are also units in Red Alert. I've been playing Red Alert for so many years, and I've never seen a farmer as a unit!"

Su Chen felt like his mentality was about to explode. The first reward left him speechless, and the second one was equally baffling.

"Master, please don't get agitated. Do you forget the rewards you received in your last ten-pull gacha, such as the villa? There are indeed farmers in the units on the Red Alert map, but these are part of the civilian version, which is why Master hasn't encountered them before," the System explained.

Su Chen took a deep breath and continued to click on the cards. To his surprise, the next eight rewards were all related to farming, leaving Su Chen utterly speechless.

What did this mean? Was he supposed to go from dominating the galaxy to farming in space?

As he clicked on the final card, Su Chen didn't hold out much hope. However, the moment he clicked it, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared!

He remembered the System saying that there would be a guaranteed reward in a ten-pull gacha, indicated by the appearance of golden light.

Could it be that the first Superweapon card was not the guaranteed reward?

Su Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at the card, only to see a massive three-headed mechanical figure named "General Executioner."

"General Executioner? What on earth is this?"

"Master, General Executioner comes from the secret Weapons of the Red Alert Empire of the Rising Sun. However, Master does not have the qualification to construct it until you have drawn the General Executioner," the System explained.

Su Chen thought for a moment, realizing that General Executioner was probably similar to Dr. Einstein, an entity from the background of the game. No wonder he had no recollection of it.

Until he could construct it, he wouldn't be able to witness the true power of General Executioner.

The ten-pull gacha came to an end, and Su Chen returned to reality.

"Now is Spectral Moth's weakest moment. Libra and I will attempt to exert Psychic control on it," Su Chen said.

Libra, who had just regained some power, nodded. Two streams of Psychic power surged toward Spectral Moth, gradually gaining control over its mind.

Just when success seemed imminent, Spectral Moth's body trembled, and it unexpectedly revealed a strong Psychic defense from within, resisting the joint Psychic control of Su Chen and Libra.

"What's going on?" Su Chen was puzzled. Spectral Moth was on the verge of death, yet it had not succumbed to their control.

Did he really have to kill Spectral Moth? This was his first encounter with a Cosmic Behemoth, making it a significant memory. However, in reality, Su Chen only wanted to complete the subquest of subduing the Cosmic Behemoth.

"Commander, Spectral Moth is changing," Ju Ling suddenly spoke up, catching Su Chen's attention.

He saw Spectral Moth, which had looked extremely pitiful, spew something from its mouth—a broken painting. On the painting, there was an image of a woman's left foot wearing bright red high heels.

The moment he saw this, Su Chen felt a sense of familiarity.

"Could this be a part of Yuwei's painting?" Su Chen had not forgotten that Leng Yuwei had touched a fragment of the painting from the Moon, absorbing vast Psychic power and falling into a deep slumber. It was not surprising that other parts of the painting could be found elsewhere.

However, he had never expected that one of these fragments would be inside Spectral Moth.

"How can Spectral Moth use the Psychic power from the painting?" Su Chen remembered very clearly that this item was just an ordinary fragment in the hands of regular people. Its effects could only be triggered when in Leng Yuwei's possession. However, he quickly realized he was mistaken.

Spectral Moth was not using the Psychic power from the painting; it knew that the fragment contained immense energy. Using some unknown method, it had activated the power within the fragment, creating a Psychic shield that protected its body, and now it was slowly trying to escape.

"We mustn't let it get away!" The Super Soldiers wouldn't allow a captured prey to escape. They chased after Spectral Moth, launching their final attacks.

To everyone's surprise, despite the barrage of attacks hitting the Psychic shield, it only created slight ripples and failed to break through. Spectral Moth, as if it had anticipated this, emitted an eerie cry, almost mocking in nature.

"Why is this Psychic shield so tough? It bears a resemblance to what put our Lady to sleep," Su Chen noticed this, and a few Super Soldiers also picked up on it. However, Lily and Natasha, who had been born on Yan Yun Star, were unaware of this.

"Our Lady? Commander already has a wife?" Both of them were surprised.

"Yes, our Lady is still in slumber. It's best not to mention this matter in front of the Commander," Yun Ru cautioned.

Lily and Natasha nodded, looking down at the slowly moving Spectral Moth with a helpless expression.

The Psychic shield was incredibly resilient, beyond their current capabilities to penetrate unless...

They had a qualitative breakthrough in their strength! (To be continued...)
