Chapter 979: Raid
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Blood Dragon Research Institute.
A blood-red, ferocious mecha forty meters tall was clear behind a huge scaffold.
“It’s finally almost done!”
Wu Wudi stood on the scaffold and looked at the mecha with a smile.
“Yes! It’s just about complete, while the other Blood Dragon mechas are already being mass-produced. However, this is definitely the strongest Blood Dragon mecha I have ever built! I’m going to name it… Blood Dragon Emperor!”
Fu Hongxue walked over, his face full of emotion. “I can’t believe… you obtained a rare material like the Broken Star Gold Ring. It’d damage my reputation if I were to make it crudely. Therefore, the Momon armor used on this Blood Dragon Emperor was purified nine times. Its performance is the best among all Emperor-grade armors. It even has the potential for improvement! After the Blood Dragon Emperor is complete, I believe it won’t be far behind top mechas such as the Wuhou Star, if not the same!”
“Thank you, Professor!” Wu Wudi bowed deeply, but there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
“Don’t stand on ceremony. After all, you are a student of our school, and this is the military’s order. I will naturally do my best!”
Fu Hongxue turned to walk away slowly with his hands behind his back. “I still have to check the various assembly lines… In fact, the Blood Dragon series aren’t top mechas, but no company can compare to them in terms of volume and price. My dream is to make it the Gundam of high-end mechas!”
“Of course I know…”
After he was certain that the professor had left, Wu Wudi raised his head, looking a little hesitant. “The quality of the armor determines 50% of the mecha’s performance! Although the evolved Momon mecha is good, and I may not have a better choice…”
The laboratory bridge activated even though it was late at night.
Wu Wudi arrived at the Blood Sea and stared at the blood palace. “The fusion of mecha and flesh will be the mainstay of the future… What’s better than the Momon flesh is the original tissues here! As long as I can obtain some, my Blood Dragon Emperor will immediately become on par the Wuhou Star, and even break through the Emperor-grade!
“It’s impossible for the military to let such strategic technologies fall into the hands of East Dragon University… I’ll have a chance after the Blood Dragon Emperor is complete!”
His plan was clear at this point in it. He was actually assisting the military so that it could obtain the strategic technologies of the Blood Dragon Research Institute, and he would take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits at the same time. If he could obtain some of the original tissues, it would be his profit.
As for directly snatching them, Wu Wudi was not that bold!
Bloop! Bloop!
Right at that moment, a large amount of meat started squirming in the flesh nest. The middle muscles tossed and turned, and a purple eye suddenly appeared!
“Wh-what’s happening?”
Wu Wudi stepped back, feeling his Nascent Soul curl up in fear.
Swoosh!
Fu Hongxue appeared after a flash of light. “Wu Wudi, what did you do?”
“I… I didn’t do anything!”
Wu Wudi felt wronged. Although he might have harbored evil thoughts, he had had no time to carry it out.
“How is this possible?” The next moment, Fu Hongxue was drawn to the huge eye, and shock covered his face. “H-how did it evolve to have self-consciousness?”
Buzz!
The huge eye seemed to sneer at them and immediately turned red.
Kaboom!
After an explosion, a deep red fist broke through the wall and violently slammed on the isolation glass. A large number of spiderweb-like cracks appeared.
“Blood… Blood Dragon Emperor!!” Wu Wudi’s eyeball nearly popped out of its sockets. “H-h-how is it moving on its own?”
The wall broke at that moment. The Blood Dragon Emperor’s enormous body squeezed in, and two blood-red rays shot out from its eyes like flying arrows.
“It was… a trap! How could such a powerful consciousness hide at the genetic level? It’s even spread onto every piece of Momon flesh!”
Fu Hongxue appeared to age upon immediately realizing the mistake he had made. “I-I am the sinner of all of humanity!”
…
Outside Planet East Dragon.
Giant wormholes were forming one after another.
The first things that appeared were large numbers of Zerg, coming in waves like an ocean.
They had wings and flew freely through space toward the satellites in orbit.
Of course, the lower-level Zerg turned into ashes in the face of the orbital railguns.
But special existences began to reveal themselves among them.
They were black Zergs with a strange human form but a Zerg head and wings. They swung their arm blades at will, slicing the alloy-made satellites in two.
This was a Zerg King! The high ranks of the Zerg and also the direct guards of a Zerg Empress!
After clearing the field, several wormholes fused, and the passage became gargantuan. Bloated worms spilled out.
On top of their heads, beautiful young girls, seeming like flower fairies, were exuding amazing charm.
These were the absolute rulers of the Zerg—the empresses!
There was only one empress in every Zerg tribe!
The current situation could only mean that numerous Zerg tribes had allied together to fight against humans in human territory!
Bang! Bang!
After crossing through the wormhole, the large, bloated worms exploded into flesh nests, and the Zerg Empresses flew into them.
The massive nests squirmed after a short while, and Zerg drones flew out one-by-one, forming an army in an instant.
The Zerg were displaying their amazing reproductive power at this exact moment.
The wormhole was continuously spewing out large armies.
The first thing that came into sight were seas of silvery-white mechas.
This was the Gaias People’s mecha army that could even compete with human mechas.
Alarms went off in succession on Planet East Dragon.
What was more difficult to control were the Blood Dragon mechas coming from various production lines.
The cosmic lifeforms’ target was very obvious now!
This sudden attack was to behead Planet East Dragon, the Human Alliance’s technological capital!
…
“Hehe…”
Chaos ensued in East Dragon University.
A great number of students raised their heads and gazed at the fight happening in space. The meteor showers added on to the feeling that it was the end of the world.
Fang Yuan nodded his head in secret as he felt what was happening. “Was the previous wormhole just an attempt at locating? They only sent out low-level Zerg to confuse us and give us the illusion that their wormhole technology was still immature and that they could only send low-level Zerg through!
“The destruction of the Seven Emotions Overmind was also bait. It buried its consciousness in its gene, and it spread to every one of the Blood Dragon mechas… All the Blood Dragon mechas have now become the enemy’s vanguard!
“The military chose to place the production lines in various universities since they were the ones with the most abundant resources. There should be more than a hundred Blood Dragon mechas manufactured now. Hehe… It’s equivalent to having hundreds of special forces at about Soul Transformation! Any other planet would face destruction with just this!”
This was not entirely Fu Hongxue’s fault.
The military had given its orders too fast, too hurried. It invested heavily and could not wait to build as many production lines as possible.
But now, these pseudo Emperor-grade Blood Dragons were going to be the biggest nightmare of this planet.
Rumble!
Out of nowhere, an energy shell struck the training room beside him.
The surrounding villas turned into ashes in an instant!
Suddenly, the cruelty of blood and fire enveloped the entire campus.
“Now!” Fang Yuan turned his focus onto his wristband and began exchanging for magical powers and immortal techniques.
Obviously, the rest of his credits would have no use if East Dragon University were destroyed.
The storehouse might have been destroyed at this point anyway.
Therefore, the most cost-effective way was to exchange for immortal techniques.
Which professor could control him even if any trace was left?
“Yin-Yang Fusion Magical Power! Nine Heavens Flying Sword Magical Power! Immortal Sword Tactics! Exchange!
“Grand Sleeve Space-Void, Xiantian Capturing Qi, Five Elements Restriction magical powers, Xiantian Qi Five Elements Restriction Void Immortal Technique! Exchange!”
…
His consciousness was moving fast, exhausting the mountains of credit he had accumulated.
At this time, the battleground extended to him.
Blood-red mechas, which had red rays from their eyes and blood vessel-like things surfacing, were destroying the campus as though they had a life of their own.
“Damn! There’s also a production line in East Dragon University!”
Fang Yuan shook his head as his body slowly disappeared.
Swoosh!
A blade appeared and instantly split a Blood Dragon mecha in half. “All students, go to emergency shelters immediately. Mentors, maintain order!
“All professors who own mechas, gather!
“You few, go to the Blood Dragon Research Institute. The rest of you follow me!”
The ground split open. The Gemini Star flew out, gathered numerous Undead Immortals, delegated their missions, and then immediately flew into the sky. “We can’t let the Zerg multiply smoothly. Otherwise, it will spell disaster for our star sector!”
Fang Yuan did not concern himself with this but went to the Blood Dragon Research Institute.
It was now a ruin, and many researchers were either hurt or dead.
A few mechas were besieging the Blood Dragon Emperor in midair.
This mecha also had blood vessels squirming, and it showcased shocking combat power.
Most importantly, there was a round ball of meat attached to its right shoulder, spreading out numerous ever-moving tentacles.
The meat cracked open, and a purple eye appeared in the middle. “Foolish humans!”
“That’s… Seven Emotions Overmind?”
Fu Hongxue had a look of horror on his face as the mechas retreated.
