Chapter 2840 - Crazy Warfare

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Escorted by dozens of priests, soldiers, and technicians, Li Yao was sent to a maintenance workshop that could almost be called ‘vast’.

As far as one’s eyes could see, sparks were popping up on almost a thousand maintenance platforms. Countless mechanics and crystal processor experts were operating their artificial arms and performing maintenance, maintenance, and examination like a dancing centipede.

Most of the magical equipment on the maintenance platform were Spiritual Towers for communication and enhancement of the Spiritual Nexus. They were the nodes of the enormous war network.

It was not hard to understand. ‘Ultimate Rescue’ was a strengthened version of the communication command starship. Keeping the Spiritual Nexus unimpeded was its life. Therefore, it did not need to carry too many weapons, ammunition, or crystal suits. Instead, it carried a lot of Spiritual Towers, which

could be released when it reached the battlefield, The Spiritual Nexus would be the strongest in space at the highest speed, ensuring that the stability and efficiency of the Spiritual Nexus would not be affected no matter how the enemy attacked, jammed, or even destroyed more than two thirds of the

Spiritual Nexus. It was the key to the outcome of the war that allowed the commands of the five great masters to reach every nerve in the fleet.

But for Li Yao, falling into such a place was like a mouse falling into a tank of rice. There was nothing better.

As long as his telepathic thoughts could hack the Spiritual Towers, he would be able to corrupt and control the core battle network of the fleet of the Fuxi Clan, At the most critical moment of the battle, he could block and tamper with the commands of the Great Sage. He could even kidnap the entire fleet

of the Fuxi Clan in his name and pretend to be the Great Sage.

A few mechanics, whose heads were protected by fully-reflective helmets and whose limbs had been specially modified with multiple artificial arms connected to their shoulders, pushed Li Yao to a particularly spacious maintenance platform and inserted several thick crystal cables into the data

transmission holes on Li Yao’s back.

Then, they restarted the Spider Tank.

Although Li Yao could move freely without them activating him, the spiritual energy and data flooding in through the crystal cables still made him so comfortable that he was about to scream.

Several crystal processor experts retrieved dozens of 3D light beams from the maintenance platform. Hundreds of streams of information flooded down like a waterfall. Their hands were moving fast, retrieving all the data of the Spider Tank in the past 72 hours.

If it were an ordinary virus implanted by the puppet king, it would certainly have nowhere to hide under their airtight scanning.

But who was Li Yao? He could be said to be the ancestor of the Puppet King—Lu Qingchen’s uncle. He was the source of the life of information and an unparalleled expert in lurking and hiding. How could he be discovered so easily?

The virtual shell that the mental devil wrote lazily was enough to fool the ‘crystal processor experts’.

Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts, on the other hand, extended to the maintenance platform below him along the crystal cables and jumped from one maintenance platform to another. They flowed among the hundreds of maintenance platforms and planted a set of his personal imprints in all the crystal chips

of the Spiritual Towers. Then, they flooded into the super crystal processors that boasted the highest computational ability in the workshop.

In the blink of an eye, the entire maintenance workshop became part of Li Yao’s body.

He could clearly scan the database of 1,425 crystal processors in the workshop as well as the brains of more than a thousand mechanics and crystal processor experts.

As he expected, 1% of the mechanics and crystal processor experts were black pieces that could be easily corrupted by him.

Right now, he was not interested in invading the brain of ‘Blackie’, but these ‘Blackies’ might as well serve as a springboard to help him control a broader world.

Li Yao smiled. The continuous improvement of his computational ability made him feel that the entire world was a chess board under his control. It was truly awesome!

His soul was spreading and expanding. It was no longer limited to the mainframe crystal processor of the spider tank but hijacked all the crystal processors inside the workshop.

Every crystal processor was like a neuron. As more and more neurons were absorbed into his body, his soul experienced a marvelous change from quantity to quality. His telepathic thoughts were expanding faster and faster, and the distance between them was longer and longer. The data and information

that he absorbed were close to astronomical, too.

He could scan almost every detail of Ultimate Rescue.

In the complicated tubes and crystal cables, glittering data constituted the nerves and veins of the ‘chief flagship’ in his soul, making the barrier between the mist and the cabin completely fail and unveiling all the secrets to him.

His telepathic thoughts were even transmitted to the Spiritual Towers that had been sent out of Ultimate Rescue and joined the space battle network along with the other starships of the Fuxi fleet, such as the arsenals that were packed with aggressive soldiers, and even the star fortresses that looked like

mountains and islands.

Li Yao felt that he had turned into a giant, one that was millions of kilometers tall, sitting cross-legged in the sea of stars and looking down at the toy-like fleet below his feet.

suddenly, he turned into ten thousand invisible ghosts and crawled into every starship of the fleet through the Spiritual Nexus, observing the details of the preparations carefully.

He ‘saw’ that, on the arsenals that looked like iron hedgehogs, emotionless soldiers were loading the last batch of ammunition and fuel in an orderly manner and checking and preheating the cannons that were more than ten meters in diameter. Many of the cannons were humming like hungry animals

that were roaring anxiously before smelling the blood of their prey.

The way the cannons were operated, their performance, power, and the damage they could cause in simulated battles were all transmitted to Li Yao’s soul in the form of information streams.

Li Yao did not want the cannons to roar in front of his fleet. Well, even if they did, it would be an out-and-out disaster.

Li Yao also ‘saw’ that countless indifferent soldiers on the assault starship were kneeling and praying like rigid chess pieces, hoping that the ‘supreme master’ created by the illusionary shadows in front of them could bring victory and glory.

Then, the soldiers were sent to crystal suits one after another.

Maybe because they were in too much of a hurry to prepare, or maybe because they had to gather as many soldiers as possible, many of the crystal suits of the soldiers of the Star Glory Federation were poorly-made. They replaced the expensive strengthening alloys with the weak alloys and replaced the

delicate connections with the rough ones. As a result, the structural weakness was resolved by welding.

It was true that, when a soldier of the Star Glory Federation was sent into a crystal suit, the logistic staff would weld his crystal suit and add a few layers of plate armor to the joints of the crystal suit in order to solve the problem of the lack of hardness with the appalling technology.

Many soldiers, who had just woken up from their hibernation chambers and were still in the recovery phase, were injected with a lot of strengthening drugs and sealed into dangerous iron tanks.

The iron cans were sent to assault capsules less than two meters in diameter. They crouched like babies and waited for launch, battle, and destruction in silence.

“Are human lives… that worthless?”

Li Yao could not bear to look at the details inside the starship anymore. He tured his eyes back to the universe where the data and information were densest and the brightness the brightest, except for the Ultimate Rescue.

They were the five ‘Supreme Battle Fortresses’, the vehicles of the Great Master.

Every one of the supreme fortresses was several times larger than the most advanced carriers. They were essentially hollowed asteroids in all kinds of shapes and sizes, with strong traces of the primeval civilization.

Master Phantom Sea’s supreme fortress was azure in color. Its surface seemed to be covered in a layer of hazy mist, in which countless swirls were swirling slowly. All the attacks would be swallowed by it.

The supreme fortress of the Sky Burning Master, on the other hand, seemed to be burning forever. It was like a miniature version of a star that was releasing raging fire snakes nonstop.

Master Sharp Gold’s supreme fortress was like an enormous saber that was shrieking silently in the silent vacuum of the universe. It could even cut open three-dimensional space.

Master Dry Wood’s supreme fortress was like a weird giant tree in the middle of the sea of stars. Countless vines that looked like vines were tied to the tree, which were growing even though there was no wind.

The supreme fortress of the masters of the earth was an earthy-yellow planet. However, the mountains, basins, and ravines on the surface of the planet constituted a sleeping face. The face was clearly visible, with the features of both human beings and the primeval species. It was natural and did not

seem to be man-made at all.

It was like… a giant’s head was sleeping soundly. There was no telling what it would look like when it woke up.

There was no doubt that the five supreme fortresses carried a lot of the most advanced and mysterious technologies. Some of them were even prehistoric starships that had been excavated from the primeval relics and repaired and strengthened directly.

According to the data flooding out of the five supreme fortresses, their combat ability was equal to that of five fleets, not to mention that they were protected by so many intimidating starships.

Li Yao had thought that he would be able to execute the decapitation strategy by summoning the assault team from the Star Ocean Imperium by locking onto the coordinates of the five supreme masters. But now that he thought about it, he had been too naive.

However, the investigation confirmed one thing.

“The main fleet of the Star Glory Federation has been deployed. All the main guns have been replaced with precious crystal barrels that can only be fired once. A large batch of soldiers have been sealed inside their crystal suits and made into ‘canned iron’. Even the vehicles of the five supreme masters have

been gathered in this place and activated in their strongest combat form.. The people of the Star Glory Federation are truly doomed! Are they going to have a’strategic final battle’, or are they going to perish together with the enemy and suffer heavy losses? Why do I feel that their air of death and their

murderous aura are both ‘suicidal’? Are they trying to drag the imperium down with them?”
