Chapter 547 - - 480 Chaos_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Who would let him heal?

When Gao Ming saw his two abilities, he almost despaired.

They were utterly useless.

Even if his first ability could temporarily control the opponent, the effect would vanish as soon as they looked away. Alien warriors had perception; they could fight with their eyes closed. Who would keep looking at his flag?

The moment the list was exposed, Gao Ming thought about hiding away, quietly surviving to the end. But damned Duge, he had revealed everyone’s information.

If he were caught, there would always be a way to counter him!

He thought over and over again.

Gao Ming dialed the National Strategic Defense Bureau’s number.

To seek out Duge.

Wasn’t Duge’s purpose in doing this to force people to the National Defense Bureau?

With his protection, surviving to the end shouldn’t be difficult.

Moreover, his “The Extremes Must Oppose” could turn his attacking power into a boost. At a critical moment, it could be used as a battery…

…

“Director Luo, another person wants to join the National Strategic Defense Bureau,” Xu Wan said with a smile, putting down the phone and speaking to Luo Yan, “I must say, your move was brilliant. Now everyone thinks Duge is in the National Defense Bureau, so they’re all rushing to us for refuge. But the keywords of these people are more laughable than the next!”

Praise, contradiction, stupor, foul mouth, self-elation, ordinary, twist, make-do, just do it…

Luo Yan frowned as he looked at the alien warriors who had volunteered to join him after the list was made public. He had once thought all alien warriors were formidable, but these keywords made him realize how cruel this game really was.

What’s the use of a foul mouth or being stupified!

These keywords were about as useful as those in movies who could precisely predict the amount of rain after a storm or control their own heartbeat: good for a laugh and nothing else!

What did these people take the National Defense Bureau for?

A garbage shelter?

Seeing these keywords, Luo Yan was tempted to hand them all over to the scientific community for research once they arrived.

“Too naïve,” said a girl about the same age as Xu Wan, wearing a cat-faced mask, “How do you know that the keywords they report are real? I’ll bet that among this group, there definitely are people from Qiyuan Star. They’re coming to the National Defense Bureau to find Duge. When they discover he’s not here, who knows what trouble they’ll stir up!”

The Black Cat Hero, real name Xiang Jiaojiao, with the keyword agility, came from the same planet as Xu Wan, and was the first to meet up with her after being summoned.

“Indeed,” Xu Wan nodded and then smiled at Luo Yan, “Director Luo, why don’t we just kill these people for the experience? Only people from the same planet can maintain the team’s unity.”

“These people are targeting the National Defense Bureau. If everyone who comes to the National Defense Bureau dies, our credibility will be gone too,” Luo Yan glanced back at her and replied, “Besides, you also guessed that there might be people from Qiyuan Star among them. If we kill them, aren’t you afraid of retaliation from Duge?”

“…” Xu Wan was stunned.

After a long moment, she exchanged a glance with Xiang Jiaojiao and asked, “Director Luo, are you sure Duge isn’t the one controlling everything behind the scenes? Is the ‘Kill One Every Ten Steps’ that went to the science academy really Duge?”

“Just do your own job; that’s not for you to know,” Luo Yan huffed, “How many more people from your planet are coming? Why is there no movement?”

“The leak of the list must have made some people wait and see,” Xu Wan sighed, “Unless we make a name for ourselves, many won’t come. After all, anything can happen between alien warriors, and you can’t fully trust your own people.”

…

The Doomsday Church.

An old man with white hair and a young woman in her twenties stood on a platform in a huge warehouse, looking down at the mecha being modified below.

The old man wore a black sacrificial robe adorned with a black sun rapidly plunging toward the ground.

The young woman wore a pure white long dress, on which was painted a Green Star split in two by a sword.

“Brother Ming, do you think Brother Du is behind the National Defense Bureau?” The old man asked in a hushed tone, standing behind the young woman.

“It does look like his style to flip the table, but it doesn’t match his personality. If it were Duge, he would have revealed his name by now. Even if he didn’t reveal his name, he should at least have shown the secret codes of Qiyuan Star!”

The young woman was Gao Ming, who had possessed another body. On Green Star, her name was Tong Anni, and her keyword was despair.

Having awakened the skill Doomsday Illusion, she could project the disastrous scenes from her own mind into the minds of others, making them experience the catastrophe as if it were real.

With this skill, she founded the Doomsday Church and amassed considerable power in Seaside City, the capital of what was once the second most powerful nation on Green Star.

Many politicians in Seaside City were her devout followers. Through the Doomsday Church, she almost had control over the entire city’s defensive forces.

“Is it possible that Brother Du’s keyword this time is inconvenient to reveal?” The white-haired old man, Dai Sheng, asked.

Dai Sheng, also from Qiyuan Star, had the keyword transformation. His awakened skill was Change of Tune, which could force a change in someone’s stance or position; Gao Ming’s Doomsday Church was able to expand so quickly in large part due to his cooperation.

“It’s possible,” Gao Ming furrowed her brow, “but either way, let’s treat the National Defense Bureau as an enemy for now! If it’s not Brother Du on the other side, once they get their affairs in order, they’ll likely turn on us first. Both of us lack offensive skills; we need to figure out a way to gather more people from Qiyuan Star.”

“Send out the secret codes to the outside?” Dai Sheng asked, “Right now, Qiyuan Star is a public enemy. If our identities are exposed, we’ll be in a tight spot.”

“Send it!” Gao Ming shook her head and said, “Now that the list is leaked, everyone is too busy protecting themselves. Everyone wants to find their own organization. If we don’t recruit now, by the time the others gather together, we’ll truly have no chance left. Duge will definitely respond once he sees our codes.”

…

Before the list was released.

There were over one thousand four hundred Alien Warriors on Green Star.

But within two days after the list was released, that number rapidly dropped to just over eight hundred. More than five hundred Alien Warriors were eliminated.

Many were taken out by Mechas.

What’s worse is that the 16th Military Group directly used intercontinental missiles to bombard and cover Marta Country, which had declared its withdrawal from the Federation to regain autonomy.

The missiles were also launched at Imperial Capital, Seaside City, and other cities where Alien Warriors were confirmed to be present.

The missiles targeting Imperial Capital and Seaside City were intercepted.

But Marta Country lacked the capability to intercept missiles; within just two hours, it caused hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, causing an uproar on the war network.

Afterward,

In order to prevent the 16th Military Group from going mad, the 13th and 14th Military Groups stationed on its flanks retaliated immediately with intercontinental missiles, destroying Red Ridge, Green Sun, and several other super strongholds…

The three military groups clashed at close quarters, fighting furiously.

Then after that,

Commander Yin Feng of the 16th Military Group issued a call to arms on the war network, calling for warriors from Nine Dragon Star to converge in the northern Federation for a war of vengeance.

…

“Lin Hong, what do we do now? It’s chaos, all chaos,” Nalan Li’s call came through to Duge’s phone like a death knell. “Alien Warriors have too much destructive power. At this rate, Green Star will be gone before the people from the Hil Civilization even attack us. Green Star’s weapons are enough to destroy humanity three hundred times over…”

Although Duge was at the Academy of Sciences, he kept an eye on the outside world. Aside from the situation with the 16th Military Group controlled by Nine Dragon Star, which had gotten somewhat out of control, the Alien Warriors from other planets were still relatively restrained. However, the distribution of powers was also becoming increasingly clear.

Each planet had basically formed their own team.

Duge had found people from Qiyuan Star—it was the Doomsday Church, across the planet. He confirmed through secret codes that the Sect Hierarch of the Doomsday Church was Gao Ming.

“Nalan, how many people do you have now?” Duge asked.

“Six,” Nalan Li said. “Two more have arrived from Sirius, a man and a woman. The man’s keyword is distortion; the woman’s keyword is compromise. Another one from Midday Star has joined us, her keyword is turning point. Most of the others have gathered at Luo Yan’s side…”

“How many people are there with Luo Yan?” Duge asked.

“Maybe around a dozen,” Nalan Li said. “But I don’t know their exact keywords. It’s very chaotic over there with Luo Yan. He doesn’t know what to do and hopes you can go and stabilize them…”
