Chapter 368 [Bonus ]A War Of Supers And Battleships

6 Grade C Superhumans hovered in the air silently.

At this moment, it was like a pause switch was suddenly hit as it called an end to all the clash and skirmishes in this massive battlefield.

Despite the bombardment and targeted attacks from the enemy troops that they were unfamiliar with, accompanied by Daemon's army of undead skeletons and undead spirits, the protectors of the core stood their ground.

Hundreds of them may have died, but the survivors never lost heart.

After so long of fighting, it all suddenly stopped.

The reason why their battle against the alien warriors suddenly stopped was the attack from the Battle Cruiser. That attack showed the true hegemon on this battlefield, it did not only humble the Grade C Superhumans, it also shocked them.

All 6 Grade C Superhumans remained silent, they had witnessed the might of the Battle Cruiser from afar. They knew it was powerful but not to this extent.

HUM!

The constant humming sound vibrating from the active Battle Cruiser in the air reminded all 6 of them about the damage that they just received, they stayed still as they glared at the enemy Grade C warrior.

Captain Miyamoto Chan stared back at them.

"Mission accomplished". He communicated to his warriors.

"Consolidate".

Instantly after this warrior captain said this, the Combat Carrier and the gigantic Battle Cruiser finally moved again. Despite having fought against it in battle already, the sight of these gigantic war machines was still intimidating.

The humans watched silently as both Spaceships descended with their weapons still pointed at the humans to deter them from doing anything stupid.

While they descended, the workers in the just erected war fortress of the Nak Navy prepared the docking site for the Spaceships.

In no time, like the Logistic Ship, the Combat Carrier touched ground.

Instantly, more Nak warriors were dispatched from the Carrier as they surrounded it, forming an additional layer of security around it.

As for the Battle Cruiser, it didn't touch ground, it levitated close to the ground as it kept all it's main armaments aimed at the enemies.

In an instant, the Nak war fortress gained the real edge of a proper defensive and offensive powerhouse, it suddenly seemed inviolable.

As soon as this happened, the Nak Captain floated closer to the Battle Cruiser before throwing one last look of defiance at the humans.

"This is your last chance, surrender".

"Never". Core Protector Daemon literally growled.

The Nak Captain looked at the others, noting their silence, he nodded.

"So be it".

On his signal, the war fortress activated a shield generator as a massive blue shield was erected that covered the just constructed war fortress, including the Fiery Gorgonion in its protective embrace.

With that, Captain Miyamoto Chan retreated inside his new base.

'A ripple effect of my actions'.

As Legolas watched everything that happened, this was the first thought that came to him. 'Another deviation from the main storyline'.

In his previous life, version 2 was pretty straightforward.

With Blade dead after saving Planet Darvis from the wrath of the Clown Society, the Nak Navy didn't even need to make an appearance, the remnants of the Clown Society did the rest, unleashing the cataclysm on the planet.

This time though, due to his intervention, Alexander and the Nak Navy's true motive was detected ahead of time, changing the course of history.

After everything that happened during version 1, Legolas already expected history to change but not to this extent.

After his reforms, he thought he had enough time to work with President Shanks to shape Planet Darvis into a behemoth that was sturdy enough to resist the cataclysm but he was wrong.

'I never expected an invasion to come so fast'.

'All my calculations were wrong'. He felt conflicted.

Having been a space farer as a player in his previous world, he completely understood the rational of the Nak Navy and was why he felt the pressure.

'They no longer want to play nice and follow the rules'.

'They no longer respect the laws of the Azure Pantheon'.

He frowned; this was close to the worst-case scenario that he predicted.

'Battles involving battleships are different from those only including Supers. By introducing battleships, the whole paradigm changes'.

'Battleships are metallic war machines that excel at long ranges. Originally, they are supposed to be unmatched in battle but this scale is voided as supers grow stronger, developing more supernatural strength to defy reality'.

'Despite their raw power, battleships have their disadvantages'.

'One, a battle involving battleships require a lot of resources'.

'Fuel to keep the battleships running, exotic minerals to replace spent ammunition of the battleships, enough minerals to engage repairs in the case of unexpected damage, and enough spare parts to replace worn out parts'.

'All these are hard to obtain'. Legolas' eyes gleamed. 'In essence, a battle involving Battleships is incredibly expensive'.

'This is why their General called for this approach, bringing his base to Planet Darvis through a single Battle Cruiser to build his foundation'.

'Planet Darvis is rich in Arcanite metal, that is his gamble'.

'By violating the rules of the Azure Pantheon, General Aztog intends to get a foothold in Planet Darvis, creating the foundation to fund a war involving battleships to thoroughly wipe out the natives of the planet'.

Even as Legolas deduced this, he also deduced the causes.

'It is all because of me'.

'Originally, meeting backwater planets like this, a warlord like General Aztog would have opted for overrunning the planet with overwhelming firepower but our performance against Alexander intimidated him'.

'He now has respect for us, he now sees us as equals'.

His expression turned grave. 'This is no longer a war of Supers'.

'This is now a war of Supers and Battleships'.

Bzzz!

After retreating into their war fortress, as they fortified their defenses more in preparation for an attack, the effects of their space-time stabilizers also wore out and now, President Shanks and the other Grade C Superhumans finally arrived.

Despite the fact that the core of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance remained intact, seeing the amount of destruction made the President scowl. Seeing the alien war fortress only increased his distress.

"What happened here?" President Shanks demanded in a grave tone.

"We need to convene a meeting". Legolas said seriously.

No one objected, all the Grade C Superhumans knew that they couldn't force their enemies out of their Planet immediately, they had no chance but to agree that the only step forward was to meet and thoroughly strategize.

For the now, the invasion temporarily stopped.

The Core Protection Alliance survived but in exchange, the Nak Navy gained a foothold in Planet Darvis, the foundation that they needed to expand.
