Chapter 2122 - 1630: Deployment (First Update)

Within Negativ God Star.

Independent ships equipped with mecha formations scattered like dandelions.

Star-Picking Tower atop Star Ring City.

Icaroya quietly gazes.

Green Ghost respectfully reports at the side: "The first round of deployment operation has begun. If successful, in seven hours, the first group will reach the nearest deployment point and conduct the operation."

"I understand."

Icaroya responds solemnly.

After reporting, Green Ghost hesitated, a rare sign of wanting to say more.

"Speak directly if there’s something!"

Icaroya, without turning her head, spoke.

"Lord Icaroya, the danger level of Negative God Star exceeds expectations. The deployment operation may not go smoothly. Estimated success rate for the first round is at most less than sixty percent, and that’s being optimistic."

Green Ghost takes a deep breath and responds.

"If it fails, just send more people to take over until it’s all successful. From now on, I don’t want to know the mortality rate, nor do I care about the process. I just want results!"

Icaroya says to Green Ghost.

"Understood!"

Green Ghost responds with a murderous seriousness.

...

Seven hours later.

Amidst undulating mountain ranges, two battleships and a swarm of mecha escort a level-4 transport ship moving at high speed!

Behind the ships, swarms of Type III Insect Race - Black Beetle - Negative God Cell Infection Bodies chase continuously.

The battleships constantly open the ejection ports in the stern, firing various submunition shells to kill those insects.

However, the insects seemed endless, becoming even fiercer as they charged.

A swarm of Black Beetles suddenly swarms a battleship, attacking the energy barrier frantically, causing the whole battleship to vibrate violently.

An anxious voice echoes in the public channel.

"Black Stone is being swarmed."

"Hold on."

...

Some mechas quickly turn back to defend, colliding with those Black Beetles.

Crunch~

Soon, the Black Beetles are efficiently eliminated.

But more insects keep flooding in.

"No good, there are getting more and more."

Just then, a calm voice rings through the public communication channel.

"I am Tony, Captain of Black Stone. Don’t worry about us, we’ll stay back to hold them off. Hurry to your destination."

"Captain Tony? You..."

"Enough with the nonsense."

Tony speaks solemnly in the communication channel.

The next moment, the Black Stone ship immediately slows down, firing all its weapons at the Black Beetles, pouring firepower to attract their attention.

"Understood, you all go!"

A strong female voice orders in the public communication channel.

At that moment, the remaining battleship and transport ship accelerate forward, leaving the insect swarm behind.

Soon after, the fleet reaches the designated coordinates.

The transport ship opens the belly ejection port, instantly dropping a giant mechanical container, whose special device activates.

The entire mechanical container disintegrates in mid-air.

A cone-shaped drill descends to the ground and drills into the Crimson Land.

In the distant sky, two IV generation Pure Mechanical Mecha - Chameleon Tigers emerge. After confirming the device is completely embedded underground and the coordinates are correct, they reengage their camouflage and turn to leave.

....

-----------------

Inside the God King Tomb.

Kavise piloting the VI generation Biological Mecha - Blood Red Demon God, leads many subordinates cautiously down the large staircase towards the underground tomb.

The staircase is spacious, making the mecha appear very small when walking on it.

Once Kavise and his team fully enter.

Clack!

The entrance behind them suddenly closes.

Bai Li and others are startled, turning to see the closed door, their expressions slightly changing as they say to Kavise.

"Sect Hierarch, the door closed."

"No matter."

Kavise remains indifferent, controlling the mecha to continue walking inside.

After hearing this, Bai Li and others say nothing but follow Kavise cautiously, surveying the surroundings alertly.

They then arrive at a gigantic passage.

Both sides of the passage are decorated with imposing, lifelike murals, still vibrant after weathering through long ages.

Also, the murals are embedded with various gems, emitting different colored lights.

"This is the God King Tomb, truly magnificent."

Morrick cannot help but say.

"We entered through the side entrance, not the main entrance, so this path is just an auxiliary route."

Kavise says with a slight shift in his gaze.

"Then wouldn’t the main entrance have even more treasures?"

"Indeed, but the danger would also be exponentially higher. Do you have the nerve to retrieve them?"

"Sect Hierarch is wise."

Bai Li replies respectfully.

Just then, Morrick and others notice something unusual. Ahead, the passage is littered with mecha and various defensive weapon remains, with traces of gunfire all over the ground and walls.

Looking closely, they see the destroyed mechas all bear the emblem of Star Ring City.

Xiao Jie and others instinctively tense up, clearly realizing danger is imminent.

They remain unscathed, only because the mechanisms and defense setups were demolished during Kavise’s initial exploration.

Kavise expressionlessly pilots the mecha, continuing to lead the group forward.

Then, in the dim passage, faint grey gases slowly encircle many mechas, infiltrating their filtration systems.

The deeper they go, the more mechanical remains accumulate, making many disciples extremely tense, fearing a sudden attack.

Before long, Kavise and others pause.

"Sect Hierarch?"

Bai Li and others inquire, puzzled.

Soon everyone inadvertently looks ahead and their minds are deeply shaken.

A golden gate appears before them.

"What is this? A Star Gate?"

Morrick asks curiously looking at the gate ahead.

However, Kavise does not answer him, instead continues heading forward.

After passing through the gate, the sight that meets everyone’s eyes leaves them completely stunned.

They seem to have arrived in a vast Star Sea, with stars radiant all around, and weaving, colorful galaxies in the distance.

At the same time, an endless staircase appears before them, with solemn stone statue guards standing on either side.

Bai Li first frowns and then, slightly losing her voice, says: "Am I seeing things, is this the starry sky?"

"Isn’t this too exaggerated?"

Morrick can’t quite believe it.

Xiao Jie and others are also deeply moved by the scene, instinctively asking.

"What’s going on? Why are we in the starry sky?"

"Could the God King Tomb be within this Star Sea?"
