Chapter 576 - - 490 Shi stirs up a thousand waves_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Following that, Xiang Jiaojiao and the others took turns to demonstrate their abilities, leaving Du Jianming and his companions utterly astounded.

Whether Du Jianming truly had the bigger picture in mind or he was cunningly planning to deal with Duge in secret, no one mentioned the slapping incident again, as if it had already been glossed over.

The military personnel didn’t bring it up, and neither did Xu Wan and the rest, who didn’t dwell on such minor episodes. When more than a dozen Alien Warriors gather together, they form an invincible group. Not to mention a trivial slap—if it helped them grow, what did it matter even if it cost him his life?

It was only because Duge didn’t wish to usurp the position this time; otherwise, with his capabilities, he could have possibly taken the President’s seat by now.

Among them all, only Nalan Li worried for Lin Hong. The military was never easy to deal with, and she was deeply concerned that someday on the battlefield, Lin Hong might be sabotaged by his own people.

But these worries she dared not voice. She feared that after speaking out, Lin Hong would root out the problem completely, which would only cause more trouble.

…

With the addition of Duge and others, Du Jianming had no more excuses for delay, and the Seventh Group Army marched mightily towards Marta Country.

At the same time.

The Sect Hierarch of the Doomsday Church, Tung Nia, suddenly made a high-profile announcement about Duge’s identity, calling for all scattered compatriots from Qiyuan Star on Green Star to unite.

The Doomsday Church also began a new round of expansion, first launching a propaganda war. Gao Ming skillfully exploited the disaster in New Goldflower City to spread doomsday theories widely on the war network.

Genetic technology was described by the Doomsday Church as opening a Pandora’s box, claiming that once it spread unhindered, Green Star would be overrun with demons and monsters;

Green Star had no good way of dealing with the Hill people;

The arrival of Alien Warriors was because Green Star had been chosen by a higher civilization as a battleground, and even if they survived the invasion of the Hill civilization, they couldn’t escape the ensuing disasters…

Meanwhile, centered around Seaside City, Gao Ming extensively used his skill, Doomsday Illusion, to plant visions of impending disaster in many people’s minds throughout nearby cities, and with Despair of all Minds, he crushed their will to fight;

The Doomsday Church called this a divine revelation.

Many officials brainwashed by Gao Ming came forward to corroborate the reality of doomsday, further deepening people’s fear. In just two days, the Doomsday Church grew like a snowball…

Gao Ming’s arrogant actions drew the attention of all Alien Warriors, of course, the main reason being that he invoked Duge’s name.

Usually, once Duge revealed his name, it often meant that the harvest was about to begin.

…

The Third Group Army.

Lu Tingjie browsed the news on the war network with a cautious expression. After a long pause, he finally asked, “Ke Ye, do you think Tung Nia is really Duge?”

“The style is somewhat similar,” Ke Ye said.

These past few days.

They had recruited about a dozen Alien Warriors from Pulo Star, but they were mostly offensive and defensive types. Nobody had awakened control or mental skills, which was why they had stopped their expansion, fearing they might hit a snag.

But relying on Ke Ye’s gentle persuasion, they had also indirectly taken control of the Third Group Army.

“So, the buzzword this time is ‘despair’?” Lu Tingjie said, “At best, it’s a secondary keyword; it won’t awaken any good skills, right?”

“Maybe that’s why Duge has kept a low profile for so many days, not daring to show himself,” Ke Ye said.

“But why has he suddenly emerged now?” Lu Tingjie asked in confusion.

“Probably because the National Defense Bureau’s harvesting in New Goldflower City made him feel threatened, so he took a risk to grow quickly and attract more people from Qiyuan Star to band together,” Ke Ye said.

“If Tung Nia is really Duge, then who is behind the National Defense Bureau?” Lu Tingjie asked.

“Who knows, but nine times out of ten it’s not Duge. The person behind the National Defense Bureau has a completely different style from Duge,” Ke Ye scoffed and said, “Moreover, his methods are somewhat low-level, lacking the ability to control the situation, yet he’s trying to force control, turning everything into a mess. Now, he doesn’t even dare to admit that New Goldflower City was his doing. A complete fool.”

“Now that Duge has emerged, what do we do?” Lu Tingjie asked.

“Brother Jie, what’s your current ranking?” A girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, twirling a shield in her hand, suddenly interrupted.

“Fifth,” Lu Tingjie said.

“Brother Jie, I think the key lies in the outer space battlefront,” the girl smiled and said, “It’s perfect that Duge has come out now. Let him attract the attention of others while we try to control the President and get into outer space. With the weapons from the space battlefront, let’s just destroy Green Star directly. Then this Alien Battlefield will basically be over. Regardless of the National Defense Bureau or Duge, nobody can survive the explosion of a planet.”

“The National Defense Bureau has Black Cat Hero and Kill One Every Ten Steps,” Lu Tingjie hesitated for a moment and said, “Black Cat Hero is too fast. I’m afraid I can’t keep up with her speed.”

“My Shield of No Harm should be able to protect a few of us,” the girl said.

“The Bell Star Alliance once restrained Black Cat Hero with gravity control, but the person controlling gravity was forcibly summoned away,” Ke Ye said, “Xia Rong, even if you raise the shield, once someone summons you forcibly, we will lose terribly. Going head-to-head against the National Defense Bureau is too risky.”

“Ke Ye, have Cao Taihua issue a statement saying that the tragedy in New Goldflower City was caused by the incompetence of the National Defense Bureau, and then raise our flag, declaring that the Third Group Army will replace the National Defense Bureau in striking at the Doomsday Church,” Xia Rong said, “Once we lure the National Defense Bureau over, we’ll make a beeline for the Imperial Capital.”
