The Last Commander of the Red Alert

The piercing alarm blared throughout the Red Alert Base, and this alarm—it was the Red Alert!

Since the establishment of peace on Earth, not a single ordinary alarm had sounded at the Base, let alone a Red Alert. An enemy had appeared, and not just any enemy but an incredibly powerful one!

Su Chen heard the voice of the System, "Alert, alert, Red Alert! A trace of consciousness from the Winged ClanMother Star has hidden within an ordinary Winged Clan member, crossing dimensions to prepare the destruction of Earth. Master needs to withstand the enemy's attack. If the mission succeeds, rewards await. If it fails, Master dies."

Su Chen's expression changed immediately. This was the first time the System had issued a mission with no rewards, and if he failed, he would die!

Clearly, this enemy surpassed the System's evaluation. To the System, survival itself was the reward. Once failed, any rewards were meaningless.

Su Chen quickly opened the map and focused on the Space Channel.

At first glance, he saw a young Winged Clan boy, surrounded by concentric circles of Winged Clan members kneeling around him. Their respectful demeanor was genuine; this was the Divine Envoy possessed by a trace of the Winged ClanMother Star's consciousness.

"Didn't they say the Divine Envoy wouldn't arrive for another two hours? Did the Winged Clan spread false information?" Su Chen's face darkened. If given some time, he could destroy the Space Channel, making it impossible for the enemy to descend here.

But it was too late now; the enemy had already appeared, and he had to deal with it. Otherwise, once the enemy began their assault, no one on Earth could resist!

"Ju Ling, issue the command for everyone to evacuate as quickly as possible!"

Ju Ling didn't hesitate for a second and immediately conveyed the Commander's order.

"Yun Ru, I'm giving you permissions to deploy all Superweapons, any useful weapons, do whatever it takes."

"Understood."

Finally, Su Chen took a deep breath and ordered, "Bring Yuan Yizhong and Les here."

This situation was extremely dire, to the point where Su Chen had to use all the power he had at his disposal. Yuan Yizhong was already under his command, but Les wasn't. If Les had any ulterior motives, it would be troublesome.

Soon, the two of them arrived, and Su Chen didn't waste any time.

"The consciousness of the Winged ClanMother Star has descended. Bring out all your abilities; otherwise, we will all die together!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yizhong had no immediate reaction, but Les jumped up with a drastic change in his expression.

"What? The consciousness of the Winged ClanMother Star has descended? How is that possible? Back when we Protoss fought against the Winged Clan, it caused earthquakes and cataclysms, but we never saw the consciousness of the Winged ClanMother Star appear. How could it happen this time?" Les's voice quivered with fear.

You see, when the Protoss and the Winged Clan fought, it wasn't just the Winged Clan's reckless use of a Neutron Star that scared them. What was even more crucial was the intelligence they had obtained about the Winged ClanMother Star.

The Winged ClanMother Star, seemingly only capable of nurturing the Winged Clan, had no other apparent abilities. However, in reality, on the planet of the Winged ClanMother Star, Mother Star consciousness was a god-like existence.

According to the Protoss' estimations, if the Winged ClanMother Star were to transform into combat power, its strength would undoubtedly reach Constellation-level, and not just any Constellation-level, but one of the strongest among them!

Such an overwhelmingly powerful being, if it were to appear, would spell disaster for the Protoss. This was the main reason why the Protoss had abandoned the war.

As an elite of the Protoss, Les naturally knew this information. Suddenly hearing that the consciousness of the Winged ClanMother Star had descended, he was almost scared out of his wits.

"We don't know the reason..." Su Chen began, but then he suddenly realized something. Not long ago, he had dropped a Nuclear Bomb on the Winged ClanMother Star. Could it be...

Su Chen could think it, and naturally, others could too. Super Soldiers might not blame the Commander, but Les was not one to easily let things go.

"I can't believe it! Su Chen, you bastard! Why did you toss a Nuclear Bomb over there? The Winged ClanMother Star must have been provoked by you to take action!" Les's consciousness immediately grasped this point.

The Protoss and the Winged Clan had fought for so long, and they had never encountered even a hint of the Winged ClanMother Star's consciousness. But what had Su Chen done? He had obliterated a substantial number of Winged Clan members with a single Nuclear Bomb, leaving behind a highly irradiated area on the Mother Star. It was as if he had ruthlessly scarred someone's face!

The enmity from such disfigurement was greater than anything else!

"No disrespect to Commander!" All the Super Soldiers glared coldly at Les.

Les was truly furious. He was locked up by Su Chen, and while his life was temporarily safe, the intervention of the Winged ClanMother Star put his life in real jeopardy.

Even if the enemy didn't manifest its entire consciousness, Earth was no match for it.

Les realized that his time was running out.

"It's too late to say anything now. We might as well wait for death," Les sat on the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"I didn't expect Les, the Death Reaper of the Protoss, to be such a coward," a mocking voice chimed in.

"What did you say?" Les glared fiercely at the speaker, who was none other than Yuan Yizhong.

Yuan Yizhong remained expressionless. "Did I say something wrong? It's just a more formidable enemy, and you're giving up the chance to live. What does that make you if not a coward?"

"You know nothing! The consciousness of the Winged ClanMother Star is classified by the Protoss as a Constellation-level powerhouse. Even in my prime, I wouldn't have stood a chance. How are we supposed to fight it now?" Les protested.

"Is the one that came this time the complete form of the Winged ClanMother Star?" Yuan Yizhong's tone remained unchanged.

"I know it's not, but even a trace of its consciousness could potentially reach Large Galaxy-level strength. We still can't defeat it. What choice do we have other than waiting for death?" Les yelled.

"So, you're a coward. Look at them, who's afraid here?" Yuan Yizhong pointed around.

Les looked around and indeed, not a single person among those around him showed fear on their faces. In fact, a few of them even displayed a hint of excitement—excitement in the face of a powerful adversary!

"Madmen! You're all a bunch of madmen!" Les was bewildered, wondering if he had wasted all these years of his life. His courage was even less than these humans.

The Protoss had always held themselves in high regard, considering themselves superior. But now, Les felt that he was inferior to these humans.

"Hehe... Hahaha... Ahahaha!" Les burst into laughter, his body emanating intense energy fluctuations. Su Yi was about to make a move, but Su Chen stopped him.

"Good! So, it's just the Winged Clan Mother Star, right? What's there to fear? I used to make the Winged Clan cry for their mothers. This time, let their ancestors handle it!"

Les was spirited, and his eyes seemed to hold the brilliance of a starry sky as he looked at Su Chen. "Su Chen, if I survive this, I'm willing to be your subordinate, but I demand the same treatment as them!"

Su Chen grinned, "Agreed." (To be continued...)
