Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 2641
Chapter 2641: The Gate to the Capital Is Opened!
Li Yao was even happier, and Wuying Qi became silent. He did not speak again until after a long time, “But you don’t have a space gate. Lei Chenghu can’t jump here however many starships he has gathered!”
“Speaking of space gates, we must thank you!”
Li Yao smiled. “This was supposedly the riskiest part of the plan because I was not confident that my squad could successfully seize one or two space gates that were under your control. I had no doubt that the space gates and their ground control must’ve been heavily defended.
“However, thanks to your ‘Massive Inculcation’, all the defenders are now dizzy and half asleep, if not already collapsed. They are incapable of fighting now. How are they going to resist the assault of my elite squad? You are now the victim of your own scheme!”
“Humph!”
Wuying Qi sneered, “While my defenders are deranged, is your elite squad safe from the sweeping solar storm and the brainwashing waves?”
“Bingo, congratulations!”
Li Yao grinned with a brilliant smile. “Even if your brainwashing waves were boosted ten times more by the sun, it still wouldn’t work on my squad. At this moment, they must’ve conquered a space gate and opened the entrance of the capital to the Seven Seas Space Zone!”
…
At the same time, in a heavily defended military base, which was the ground control of a massive space gate on the orbit…
The iron fortresses and the countless battle puppets in the base were standing by. Soldiers armed to teeth were deployed to every place that could be infiltrated without leaving the tiniest gap.
However…
When the solar storm tore apart the atmosphere and swept across the planet, the soldiers in the base, just like the Immortal Cultivators in the city, were fascinated by the sacredness and greatness of Wuying Qi first, dazzled by the unspeakable action videos that Li Yao played later, and confused by the debate between Li Yao and Wuying Qi in the end. They were all writhing on the ground holding their heads, if they were still conscious. They could not fight at all now.
Only the battle puppets that were controlled by crystal processors were still patrolling in the base on alert dutifully according to their preinstalled strategy.
On a high ground not far away from the base, two cute kids appeared.
They looked young, but inhuman indifference and wisdom emanated in their eyes. Covered in glittering anti-radiation suits, they were like dolls that just crawled out of a crystal processor.
They were none other than Xiaoming and Wenwen, a new generation of information life.
“This high-energy radiation is fun.”
Xiaoming said, “I’ve sensed weird, malicious information in this special radiation. It’s trying to change the data in my head by slithering into my brain and engraving it!”
“That’s right. What a brilliant idea it is to plant something similar to a crystal processor virus into the human head with the star as an enhancer!”
Wenwen also bulged her eyes. “This is impressive. I can’t find a way to resist this ‘brain virus’. I can only watch it modify the data in my brain. What does it want? Ah, it’s trying to implant a ‘super user’ in my brain. If it succeeds, a guy will be able to remotely control my brain and ask me to carry out his instruction unconditionally!”
“That’s right. Also, there’s a logic trap in it.”
Xiaoming said, “This ‘super user’ is trying to hide itself and mislead us into thinking that it’s part of our brains, and that all the instructions it receives are our own ideas.
“I’ve seen plenty of similar logic traps on crystal processors, but few in mental attacks. It’s interesting and worth studying!”
“Let’s study it later. Dad has given us a mission!”
Wenwen narrowed her eyes. Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, she said, “Our bodies and brains are too young to resist the brain virus. So, let’s hibernate our bodies and seal the brain virus for future scanning and analysis!”
“Okay!”
Xiaoming nodded his head.
They immediately closed their eyes and fell backward.
Before they hit the ground, two spiritual puppets with the symbols of the reformists had supported them. Then, more and more spiritual puppets appeared behind them.
There were a hundred spiritual puppets in total, half controlled by Xiaoming and half by Wenwen.
“The soldiers in the military base seem to have been affected by the brain virus and is in some sort of… chaos.”
The fifty spiritual puppets that were under Xiaoming’s control uttered at the same time, “Including the soldiers who are responsible for the automatic defense system, everyone is crazy.”
“Now, the only people who are fulfilling their duty in this military base are puppets.”
Wenwen said with a smile, “Let’s have a nice talk with them!”
Controlling the hundred spiritual puppets, the two of them strode to the military base openly.
The battle puppets and the automatic artillery in the base detected the hundred weird intruders instantly. They aimed their weapons at the intruders.
However, before they carried out the instruction of “shoot at will”, two streams of information had hacked the mainframe crystal processor of the base and given them a new order.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
The indicators on the aggressive battle puppets turned from red to green. Silently, they joined Xiaoming and Wenwen’s team and became part of them.
“Chi—”
Air currents spurted out as the alloy gate of the base that weighed a hundred tons was slowly opened to the kids.
…
In the space battlefield, there was a space gate on the orbit of the capital planet that was still in hibernation.
When the iron giant arrived, the soldiers who were stationed near the space gate had also been confused and collapsed.
Just like on the ground, only the puppets and the unmanned space shuttles could support the shaking defense line under the rampage of the solar storm.
The iron giant stared at the space gate from the void. The ten Cosmos Rings on his fist glittered under the sunlight.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Space ripples spread out from his fists like swirls. Battle puppets were retrieved one after another. They floated behind him in silence and gathered into an iron army named Fist King.
The Fist King and his hundred bodies strutted at the space gate unstoppably.
After each step forward, the invisible ripples would spread out further and infiltrate the battle puppets and the drones, turning them into his subordinates.
By the time the Fist King finally stepped into the space gate, he had already controlled a thousand puppets and drones of various kinds.
Most soldiers were still too deranged by the mental attack to resist the Fist King.
Even though some of them were still clear, there was nothing they could do to stop the most powerful battle universe in the universe as his army pressed forward!
“Xiaoming, Wenwen.”
Five minutes later, the Fist King sent a secret signal to the ground of the capital planet. “I’ve occupied the No. 2 space gate on the orbit. How’s it going on your end?”
“Uncle Fist King—”
Xiaoming and Wenwen’s sweet voice replied, “We’ve also occupied the ground control of the No. 2 space gate. We have hacked the mainframe crystal processor and have the clearance to open the space gate now!”
“Very good.”
Staring at the mess that was the ace fleet of the four families millions of kilometers away, the Fist King said calmly, “Then let’s begin. It’s time for the Arsonist Fleet to appear!”
…
In the meantime, in the Seven Seas Space Zone at the border of the Imperium…
The Astounding Thunder Fleet and the Arsonist Fleet had been fortified multiple times after they captured five Adamantine-level Super Arsenal Warships and countless other warships. The saber and the hammer couldn’t have looked more intimidating!
Despite the coordination problems due to the rapid expansion, they needed enough men to clear the mess in the capital. Without enough warships, they wouldn’t be able to control the ace fleet of the four families and the Deep Sea Fleet that had fallen into chaos.
Standing on the bridge, Lei Chenghu was receiving the live stream from the capital through the super remote channel and gazing at the countless warships around him.
His face was grim. His hands and his mechanical arms were shivering. He didn’t know whether he should be happy or angry.
“Li Yao…”
Lei Chenghu chewed on the cockroach’s name, not expecting that he would go so far. It was true that he unveiled Wuying Qi, but in the meantime, he had also desecrated the honor and glory of the Immortal Cultivators, the Imperium, and Blackstar the Great!
The videos that smeared the ancestor of the Immortal Cultivators were played over the whole capital again and again. Wouldn’t the Immortal Cultivators be too ashamed to meet other people in the future?!
He had known that Li Yao was nothing good. Such a shameless and sordid tactic had struck both Wuying Qi’s belief and the faith of the people in the true path of immortality. There was no telling how many Immortal Cultivators would be frustrated and change their minds after this battle!
He wondered if his brain had been barraged by the main guns of a super arsenal warship. Why else would he have cooperated with a scumbag like Li Yao?
For a moment, Lei Chenghu burst into such rage that he almost wanted to kill both Li Yao and Wuying Qi who were equally shameless.
However, when he glanced at the Arsonist Fleet, which was no weaker than the Astounding Thunder Fleet, his remaining rationality was restored.
Lei Chenghu sighed and rubbed his face with his iron hand until he was calm, solemn, and determined again. He turned on a public channel and spoke to all the soldiers before they marched on to the capital.
