”Master Dark Star, Planet D-7025 is in front!”
A starship was sailing quietly through space when someone who looked like a liaison officer stepped forward to report respectfully.
There was a cultivator other than this liaison officer on the bridge.
He was wearing a wide-sleeved robe over a very vintage shirt. This was a top player in the Human Alliance, Venerable Dark Star.
Venerable Dark Star waved the liaison officer away and opened a communication channel. ”How is the Wuhou Star?”
”Very bad. The Wuhou Star's armor is 40% damaged!”
On the screen, a giant mecha was in the background. An engineer in a white coat spread his hands. ”Sorry… Doctor, we've done our best, but we are still only at 66.7% of the restoration plan!”
”That's enough!” Venerable Dark Star's eyebrows lifted. ”Insert the psionic crystal and get ready to start! I'll take the responsibility if anything happens!”
”Understood!” The engineer agreed helplessly.
After some time, a few mechas dragged long tails of flame away from the ship and gazed at the planet below them.
”Doctor Dark Star, I didn't expect you and the Crimson Knights to end up like this…” A voice came from one of the other two mechas.
They seemed to have means to monitor the chaos in the planet's mines.
All the personnel were being manipulated and made subservient to the Seven Emotions Overmind.
Some Seven Emotions Zerg had even drilled themselves directly into the miner's bodies and became parasitic.
”Target locked. There's no doubt it's the Seven Emotions Overmind!”
Dark Star gazed at this scene with a calm expression, though his eyes were burning with fury.
”Our sacrifice of a planet's resources was not wasted. We have finally lured it out!”
A dry and hoarse voice came from another mecha. ”This time, I brought the 'Zero Lock' device. It won't be able to run away!”
”Be careful. This Seven Emotions Overmind is extremely strong, and its ability to escape is equally strong!”
The past might be unbearable, but Doctor Dark Star still reminded him seriously. ”It's rather cunning. I even suspect that it's intelligence has surpassed its mother for it to be able to entrap us previously!”
To be able to outwit Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists, it was naturally not easy.
”Fortunately, it seems to really need psionic crystals, so we could lure it out this time…” said another mecha with blue lightning surrounding it. ”According to the calculations of our photon computer, the potential of this Seven Emotions Overmind surpasses its mother's limit. It could even… even bring disaster to the universe! We must eliminate it now!”
”That's why it was all right to sacrifice a planet with plenty of resources!” A dark mecha growled, and a ball of light appeared from its hand. ”Zero Lock!”
Swoosh!
The ball of light divided into two instantly before splitting into four, then into eight, forming a huge plane in space and blocking the planet below.
This was the 'Zero Lock' created by Western Grand Arcanists. This locking array would even restrict a wormhole.
”We've already made arrangements on this planet. The core will explode once it receives a specific external stimulus!”
Dark Star raised his palm and swiftly set the plan in motion. ”Activate the planet destruction plan!”
Several high-level Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists controlled their top mechas and performed legendary arcane spells and immortal techniques. There was enough power to annihilate the planet!
But at this moment, three mechas did not do the same. They were carefully observing the surroundings and sending out signals.
Rumble!
From the starship at the rare, a huge cannon aimed at the planet. The robotic voice echoed continuously. ”The star cannon is ready! Locked on to the target!
”Countdown to attack: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”
The next instant…
Flash!
A dazzling ray of light bombarded the planet with unparalleled speed.
An astonishing explosion happened without any leakage of power.
This scene looked very strange.
The planet instantly flared into a huge fireball. The explosion spread within the boundaries of the Zero Lock, making it look like a fiery red cube.
The Zero Lock was even shrinking to converge the explosion's might.
For a moment, the planet was compressed to ten-thousandth of its original size, but the light in the middle became even more dazzling.
”The power of the Zero Lock is always so admirable, no matter how many times I see it!” Dark Star sighed.
The mecha by his side stayed silent, its eyes fixated in the direction of the explosion.
”Even a Planet Destroyer can't withstand such an attack. The survival rate of the Seven Emotions Overmind won't be greater than 2%!”
Laughter roared from the black mecha.
But he suddenly stopped, as though someone grabbed his neck.
”Black Death God, Thunder God, look!”
Venerable Dark Star turned toward the Zero Lock. The mecha immediately captured a picture and zoomed in.
A black shadow appeared in the fiery flames.
It was the Seven Emotions Overmind!
