Chapter 626 - 393: Siblings Parting

At the Celestial Gate Patrol Station, the elite interception unit led by Luo had already arrived overhead on transport aircraft.

Fenrir the Wolf King attacked the Celestial Gate, and the frontline was in an emergency...

When they received this intelligence, everyone was shocked.

No one knew how Fenrir managed to escape from the encirclement of New Moon City.

The reason was not important for now.

What they would face next was an unprecedented bitter battle.

Celestial Gate, a border patrol station that had once fallen during the beast crisis, was now falling for a second time.

Looking down from high above, the remnants of defensive facilities were strewn about, cracked concrete blocks and twisted steel bars scattered everywhere, resembling the skeletal remains of a dismembered giant beast.

The ground was littered with shattered equipment and electronic components blown apart; the machines that once operated precisely were now a heap of worthless scrap metal.

The wreckage of armored units and corpses of soldiers were mixed together, smoke billowing up amidst the burning, forming large black fog in the sky.

Soon, the red light in the transport aircraft cabin turned on, and the pilot’s loud voice came over the broadcast: "Detected still-active lifeforms, highly suspected hostile targets, prepare for forced landing!"

Luo stood at the rear of the cabin, behind her were a thousand elite troops ready to deploy. She calmly watched the as-yet-unopened cabin door, the indicator light spilling red onto her face, as if blood was flowing.

With a sensation of weightlessness, the transport aircraft slowed its descent to a near-ground position, the deployment hatch opened, and the elite troops followed Luo out in single file, surrounding the four individuals on the battlefield.

The four people were Su Mo, Nuobai, Dongdong, and Hibell.

"It’s people from the Edge!"

The three main forces of the Edge were unmasked at this moment, their true faces exposed, and someone quickly recognized them.

As the elite troops surrounded these four people, they suddenly noticed something strange.

First, the intelligence mentioned Fenrir attacking the Celestial Gate, so why wasn’t she present?

Secondly, these four were stained with a lot of blood, but it had already dried, indicating that the battle at the Celestial Gate Patrol Station had ended a long time ago.

If so, why hadn’t they fled?

Staying here wasn’t just waiting to be captured?

The adjutant looked at Luo, urgently asking: "Commander, should we immediately contact the Capital City and inform them about the Edge’s involvement in the rebellion?"

Luo didn’t speak, only smiled at him, her golden eyes full of indescribable depth.

"Commander?" The adjutant didn’t understand what this smile meant.

At this time, someone else discovered an anomaly: "Our communication systems are down..."

All communication equipment on them, including the transport aircraft’s onboard communication systems, had unknowingly gone completely offline, unable to receive or send signals, as if gripped by an invisible black hand.

Every person here had become an isolated island disconnected from the outside world.

While the adjutant was bewildered, the response was not a command from Luo, but the small hand gently landing on his shoulder.

The adjutant instinctively raised his head, seeing Luo’s face as usual with that gentle smile, and meeting her gaze always felt like a breath of fresh air.

But her next words left the adjutant utterly bewildered: "You’ve worked hard following me all these years, take care."

Adjutant: "... Commander?"

"Slash!" Blood flashed before him suddenly, he looked in horror at his chest, only to see Luo’s hand reverse through his heart, crushing the beating organ.

The adjutant fell, his face forever frozen in disbelief; in his dreams, he never imagined he wouldn’t die gloriously before the enemy, but at the hands of the commander he’d followed for so many years!

At this moment, the surrounding soldiers were all shocked, stunned and unsure of what to do.

"Commander! What are you doing?!"

Luo crouched down, using her clean hand to close the adjutant’s unseeing eyes, then raised those golden eyes to look at the crowd, each person who met her gaze involuntarily trembled.

"Colleagues, please offer your lives to me for a moment."

With those words, immeasurable scarlet radiance erupted from her fingertips, the "Divine Protection High Tier" Crimson Rose Blood Code began to rage.

The soldiers hadn’t come to terms with Luo’s sudden betrayal, when disaster struck.

Luo waved her hand, the scarlet radiance scattered like crushed water droplets splattering outward, blood controlled by the Crimson Rose Blood Code turned into thousands of sharp blades, attacking the surrounding soldiers.

These soldiers were all elite forces, their prowess had reached the Fourth Stage of the Extraordinary System, and even the Fifth Stage individuals were present, each one a top-tier existence.

But faced with the overwhelming might of the Divine Protection High Tier, they were like paper; they had no power to resist.

"Slash, slash, slash——" Amidst dense rain-like sounds of flesh being torn, countless scarlet blades pierced through the bodies of surrounding soldiers; those standing one moment were immediately shredded the next, turned into remains.

Some soldiers, further away, screamed in panic trying to retaliate, either raising their guns to frantically fire bullets at Luo, or using the remote abilities of their Resurrected Bodies and Blood Codes.

But such attacks were either blocked by the scarlet radiance condensed around Luo, or even if they managed to hit her body, the wounds healed within milliseconds.

Centered around Luo, countless scarlet blades harvested lives like the Scythe of Death, bodies fell like ripe wheat.

Faced with these subordinates who had followed her for years, Luo only silently watched their lives fade away.

The only mercy she offered them was delivering fatal blows, painless.

Minutes later, with the last sound of flesh tearing, the final elite troop died.
