Chapter 1 Legendary-Class Star Destroyer: Immortal Blade

Su Mo was fast asleep in his bed when a terrifying negative energy tide swept through.

The next second, Su Mo's eyes snapped open, and he sat up.

Su Mo subconsciously clutched his heart, which was beating rapidly. He felt inexplicably irritable.

Just then, another wave of red light swept past.

Su Mo felt even more uncomfortable.

"Not good, it's a continuous surge of negative energy tides!"

The Creator-Devourer said to Su Mo.

"It erupted again so soon?"

Su Mo's expression shifted, and he replied gravely.

Just then, the electronic bracelet on Su Mo's wrist vibrated. He glanced at it and saw that Qian Chengxue was calling.

He immediately answered the call.

Qian Chengxue began by asking worriedly, "Su Mo, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"I'm fine here, but I just received information that there's a problem at the Prison of Hearts."

Qian Chengxue quickly reported to Su Mo.

Hearing this, Su Mo flipped out of bed and asked,

"How serious is it?"

"Not optimistic. Many laborers are having problems, attacking each other, and even destroying equipment."

Qian Chengxue explained to him.

"What about our legion? What's the situation now?"

Su Mo immediately asked.

"Right now, only the First Division is fine. The others have more or less run into problems. Many people have lost control, and we're doing our best to suppress them. Lan Xi has already taken the doctors to start treating them."

Qian Chengxue gave Su Mo a brief overview of the situation.

"Order Kendi to gather personnel and come with me to the Prison of Hearts."

Su Mo immediately made a decision. The top priority now was to stabilize the situation at the Prison of Hearts. The internal turmoil within the legion could be quelled quickly as long as Sun Duoxiang, Xiao Wen, and the others were given some time.

"Alright!"

Qian Chengxue nodded in response.

...

At the same time, whether it was the Machine Empire, Laurel Kingdom, etc. in the First Cradle, the countries in the Second Cradle and Third Cradle, or even all the residents in the City of Star Rings, they were all affected by the negative energy tide.

Many of the people who had been feeling apprehensive, uneasy, and angry after listening to Icarus's speech instantly had their negative emotions collapse and mutated in an instant.

They began attacking everywhere in a frenzy!

Overnight, chaos erupted in every country.

Including within the City of Star Rings, quite a few people had problems, and the defense teams were all mobilized.

Inside the Central Administrative Council Building, Icarus stood by the window, gazing at the agitated City of Star Rings, the light in her eyes constantly changing.

The sound of footsteps came, and Qing Gui walked in and reported to Icarus.

"Lord City Master, Negative God Star has erupted again, and this time the negative energy tide it caused is even stronger than before. It has already caused serious riots..."

Icarus interrupted Qing Gui and said indifferently,

"Leave those matters to the people below. I only care about whether the transport of those star drills is safe."

"I understand, I'll go take care of it."

Qing Gui took a deep breath and then retreated.

Icarus quietly gazed at the agitated City of Star Rings. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

...

Prison of Hearts.

Lin Zinuo, Dr. Abick, and other important personnel were all gathered together.

Guards who had not mutated were piloting mechas, wielding alloy blades to kill the attacking mutated personnel.

Blood splattered everywhere!

At this moment, Su Mo arrived with people, piloting the Mad-Eye Reinock.

"Su Mo!"

Lin Zinuo saw Su Mo and quickly called out.

Su Mo was relieved to see that Lin Zinuo and the others were alright and quickly walked over.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but we're in big trouble."

Lin Zinuo said to Su Mo anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the mutated people. After all, most of the laborers don't have weapons. It should be easy to handle. I'll take them all down as soon as possible. Those who can be saved will be sent for rescue. We won't give up on anyone."

Su Mo comforted her.

"No, it's not as simple as you think. They don't have weapons, but after they mutated, many of them scattered to various areas of the Prison of Hearts. The Prison of Hearts is so big, there are too many places to hide. If it's not handled properly, subsequent construction will definitely be affected."

Lin Zinuo immediately explained the key point.

Hearing this, Su Mo immediately reacted and understood the crux of the problem.

He immediately felt somewhat棘手(jí shǒu-棘手 means difficult to handle, thorny), if these mutated people scattered and hid, it would be extremely troublesome to deal with.

At this time, Kendi, who was beside him, said, "Boss, the matter has already happened. What we need to do now is to minimize the impact and casualties. Let's immediately set up a safe zone, protect the people who haven't mutated, and then start a large-scale cleanup."

"Alright!"

Su Mo replied in agreement.

.......

Migak Star Sea.

After relying on spiritual energy to refresh and withstand the impact of the negative energy tide, many troops of the Eternal Sleep Clan began to disconnect and disperse.

At this time, Vice Clan Leaders such as Amilek and Brunann flew out of the fortress. They scanned the troops that had survived, their expressions exceptionally gloomy.

"Still, many people died."

Brunann said in a low voice.

Mogasi said in a deep voice, "That little sacrifice is nothing. The only trouble is that our current forces are still difficult to launch a fatal attack on that woman Icarus!"

"Don't worry, the situation will change soon."

Amilek said with confidence.

"Oh? What's the opportunity or method?"

Brunann and the others all looked at Amilek.

Before Amilek could speak, a huge gap suddenly cracked open in the distant starry sky.

Then, countless Spirit Touched, Dandelion Fortresses, and Wind Shuttle-class ships poured out like a tide, their numbers staggering.

At this moment, a terrifying stream of light pierced through from within, instantly appearing in front of Amilek and the others.

Looking closely, it was a Spirit Touched that was 500 meters tall, its huge body densely covered with turbid nerve circuits. A jet-black eyeball was embedded in its huge, teardrop-shaped head, and its open mouth revealed sharp fangs. Spiral claws exuding a chilling light and countless special circuits glowing with strange light emerged from its entire body.

This Spirit Touched was none other than the First Vice Clan Leader of the Eternal Sleep Clan, the VI-type Star Lord-class Spirit Touched, Patgali.

The aura of power on his body was completely restrained, not giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Patgali, you actually came?"

Brunann said in surprise.

"After Kalorne was severely injured, the Clan Leader was extremely angry and sent me to lead the troops to support you first. The Clan Leader is mobilizing troops from various colonial star seas and star regions. Once the gathering is complete, he will personally descend upon the Negative Universe!"

Patgali replied proudly.

"With the Clan Leader's personal arrival, everything will be settled."

Mogasi said excitedly.

At this time, Patgali said, "With the Clan Leader's personal arrival, naturally everything will be solved, but is that good? Shouldn't we wipe out the troublesome City of Star Rings before the Clan Leader arrives, as a gift to welcome the Clan Leader?"

"It's not that we're unwilling, but the City of Star Rings is indeed a tough nut to crack. Moreover, the Second Child's attitude is extremely ambiguous, and he refuses to turn against them."

Brunann replied with difficulty.

"You don't have to worry about that. This time, I brought a total of 1 trillion units of troops, as well as several strategic fortresses. Most importantly, I also brought Alleck's strongest shell. With this body, Alleck will be able to exert his true strength. Can't I still take down a small City of Star Rings?"

Patgali said proudly.

Hearing this, Alleck was also extremely excited.

"You brought my new shell? That's great! Who else will be able to stop us this time!"
