Chapter 558 Fight for Time (2/2)

”There is this possibility. However, the entire planet is so large. How will they be able to find it?”

”We cannot rule out this possibility. It can't be that they created equipment to help search for the Mutation Source, right?”

”We can't be sure yet. Record it for now.”

”If they continue with their search, there is a chance of them finding our hiding spot. Godora's fleet is outside the atmosphere, and we won't be able to retreat. Our situation is extremely dangerous.”

The members of the DarkStar squad fell silent. When they received their mission, they had all known that chance of survival was slim and could only pray that their disguise would not be seen through. Their small spaceship was currently disguised as a rock, and there was a certain degree of concealment.

Every calamity planet had a small team to report on the planet's developments.

”We should just report this matter to our higher ups anyway,” the captain, who was the only Grade B Super, said.

…

The report of the Planet Aquamarine squad passed through many hands before finally entering the hands of the upper echelons. However, Degulish and the head of the intelligence department only briefly went through it before placing the report to the side.

This was not the first time that those on the calamity planets had tried to search for the Mutation Source. The way Degulish saw it, it was no more than a waste of time, and such a report was of no significance.

Godora had managed to maintain a high level of confidentiality, and news of them developing an antidote had not slipped out. They kept up with appearances and pretended to be extremely anxious and fatigued.

Thus, DarkStar did not notice anything out of the blue and was kept in the dark.

Degulish naturally was not be able to see any problems from the report of the squad left on Planet Aquamarine. His attention was not on the calamity planets but on another important event.

During this period of time, DarkStar was preparing for their next step, and Degulish's attention was focused on this matter.

Their target this time was Planet Golden Gate!

Planet Golden Gate was a Grade A colony planet and was located near Juberly Hub. Furthermore, Juberly Hub was the central transportation hub that led to the different Star Zones and Star Systems. Thus, Planet Golden Gate was like Godora's bridgehead and had strategic importance. At the same time, the security was extremely tight.

This time, DarkStar's plan was not just to massacre the inhabitants of the planet but to destroy the entire planet!

Without Planet Golden Gate, the Godoran fleet would waste more time traveling to the various Star Zones.

”As long as this mission is a success, we will be able to severely wound Godora and create even more fear!”

Degulish's eyes glowed ferociously.

The assault was a very important part of their plan, and the DarkStar leader had allowed him to mobilize more than half of their fleet!

They were truly going all out!

Coincidentally, Black Star's base was also on Planet Golden Gate. In the past, they did not destroy the base due to considerations for their plan. Now that they no longer had to be wary, they could destroy it to their heart's content.

At the meeting table, a figure who was half concealed in the shadows asked, ”Are you in charge of this operation?”

Degulish glanced at him and said in a deep voice, ”That's right. Including you, everyone participating in the mission has to listen to my orders regardless of their rank and status.”

This figure leaned forward, and his face was revealed from the shadows. He was Ember. The aura emanating from him was even colder than before. After massacring millions in their previous operation, he had become extremely silent, making everyone wary of him.

During the Noriosse incident, Degulish had once mocked Ember for returning in defeat, but now, he did not wish to provoke Ember. This was the deterrent effect of massacring millions.

”Call me when you take action.” Ember nodded slowly. He then stood up and left the meeting room, not bothering about the fact that the meeting was not over.

Looking at Ember's back, Degulish began to frown, and the other upper echelons looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes.

Ever since the Long Arc massacre, Ember's personality had slightly changed. He had become extremely cold, and even the upper echelons could not grasp his thoughts.

”Then let the meeting end here,” Degulish said without allowing any disagreement. ”The fleet is already on their way, and we shall attack Planet Golden Gate in three days!”
