Chapter 71 Into the Zerg Hive! The Core of the Core!
"Sorry! I just feel that there's definitely some huge secret within this ruin that we haven't discovered."
"If this secret were to be annihilated here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rest easy in the future!"
Seeing Lu Jin's unwavering resolve, High Priestess Yu Xin sighed deeply after a moment of silence.
As the High Priestess, Yu Xin had to consider the overall situation.
This often made her overlook many details that only others could notice.
Now, Lu Jin's persistence was perhaps due to his identity as a Blessing Bearer.
"I will try my best to buy you time, but no matter what, you must evacuate this planet within 5 hours!"
The annihilation plan had already been set, and even High Priestess Yu Xin could only slightly delay its execution.
Lu Jin was also well aware of this, so time was extremely pressing.
After hanging up the communication, Lu Jin looked at Yu Tiancang and the others and informed them of the plan.
But facing the ferocious Void Zerg, and a situation where they might not return, Yu Tiancang was the first to speak.
"The time we've spent with you, our experiences have been even more dangerous and crazy than this plan!"
"I, Silver Moon, swear my undying loyalty. No matter where you go, Captain, or what situation you fall into, I will surely protect you!"
"Void Zerg? Those are excellent food. As a Star Hunting Dragon, I'm not afraid of these little bugs!"
Undoubtedly, none of Lu Jin's crew members chose to retreat.
Even Yu Tiancang, who shared the same human form as Lu Jin, now directly donned his psionic armor.
The silver long spear danced in his hand; clearly, he was ready!
Without further ado, as everyone else began to retreat towards the ruin entrance, Lu Jin headed in the opposite direction, re-entering the abandoned underground city.
Without needing to concern himself with the other Golden Humans, Lu Jin quickly rushed towards the core area at the back of the underground city, relying on the route in his memory.
Soon, they passed through the underground city.
Surprisingly, they did not suffer any attacks from the Void Zerg while traversing the underground city.
These Void Zerg seemed to have vanished, no longer appearing in their sight.
Of course, it was not ruled out that these Void Zerg, seeing their team composition, had actively concealed themselves to prepare for a sneak attack.
The intelligence of the Void Zerg was not comparable to ordinary Zerg!
At this moment, an entrance appeared before Lu Jin.
Stepping into this entrance, a foul stench immediately wafted out continuously from within.
After a slight frown, Lu Jin resolutely stepped into the entrance.
This entrance led to the core area of this underground ruin.
And there were a total of ten such entrances in the entire underground city!
Each entrance and the internal passages intertwined, and Lu Jin had spent a considerable amount of time exploring the entire passage back then!
However, precisely because of this, Lu Jin was able to find the quickest and most accurate route to the innermost core area.
Soon, Lu Jin and his group arrived at a fork in the road.
Before them was a three-way intersection.
Shelia sniffed, her gaze falling on the leftmost entrance.
"I can smell it; the scent from this leftmost entrance is the strongest. It's highly likely a large number of Void Zerg are gathered there!"
And Silver Moon showed no weakness; she closed her eyes and used her psionic power to cover the rightmost entrance.
Soon, her psionic power detected something unusual.
"Deep within the right entrance, I detected psionic fluctuations!"
Psionic fluctuations?
The moment he received this news, Yu Tiancang, who was in the team, couldn't help but frown deeply.
Could it be that the Void Zerg had already evolved Void Zerg with psionic power within their ranks?
If that were truly the case, their journey would be extraordinarily perilous!
Lu Jin's gaze swept across the three entrances, and after some thought, he decisively chose the rightmost passage!
In his memory, the middle passage led to an entrance to the outer area.
The left passage led to a spacious cavern, and based on Shelia's information, that was very likely a gathering point for the Void Zerg.
As for the rightmost passage, there was nothing unusual in Lu Jin's memory.
In fact, by following one of its paths, one could even enter a more core area.
After deciding on the entrance to take, Lu Jin was the first to step inside.
As they delved deeper, Silver Moon and the others could sense that the psionic fluctuations grew more intense!
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion echoed in the passage.
The entire passage trembled.
Lu Jin immediately stopped, looking at the exit before him. He lowered his foot and took his weapon in hand.
Silver Moon, meanwhile, constantly guarded Lu Jin's side, her gaze also fixed on the passage exit.
But just as they approached the exit, a roar of Void Zerg came from inside the cave!
"Damn Void Zerg!"
"Filthy creatures, I shall slay them here with my sword!"
"Do you think you can kill me?!"
In the vast underground cavern, the power armor Lu Jin had seen before reappeared.
Only now, he was like a god of war.
Facing the encirclement of hundreds of Void Zerg, every swing of his chainsword tore a Void Zerg to shreds.
And when a Void Zerg tried to sneak attack, before it could even act,
the power armor directly raised its arm, and the armor-piercing bolter equipped on its arm directly blew its head off!
More and more Void Zerg swarmed around him, and Lu Jin could tell that while this power armor was formidable,
its movements all indicated that its energy was about to run out.
"Shelia, it's time for you to act!"
Upon seeing so many Void Zerg, Shelia had already been somewhat unable to suppress the agitation in her heart.
Upon hearing Lu Jin's command, Shelia's eyes lit up.
Then, she directly transformed into her true form and attacked the Void Zerg before her!
Roar!
Shelia gathered a mouthful of psionic power, and a dragon's breath directly landed in the midst of the Void Zerg ranks.
The Void Zerg formation was instantly scattered.
Seizing this opportunity, Shelia devoured Void Zerg one by one, directly beginning her gluttonous feast.
And the besieged power armor, seeing a Star Hunting Dragon appear, was also somewhat surprised for a moment.
He immediately noticed Lu Jin nearby, and upon sensing the rich Blessing Bearer power on Lu Jin, the entity within the power armor was clearly surprised.
"Such abundant blessings! I knew that His Majesty the God-Emperor never abandoned us!"
"Sleeper Legion, Centurion Liao Fan, greets the Blessing Bearer!"
Sleeper Legion!
Upon hearing the name of this legion, Lu Jin once again recalled the translated text at the entrance of the ruin!
+++
Chapter 72 A Powerful Legion! The Source of the Spark!
"Suppress… disaster… honor belongs to… the Legion."
The suppressed disaster must be the Void Zerg here.
And the so-called Legion must be the Sleeper Legion before them!
Just then, Shelia transformed back into human form and returned to Lu Jin's side. She patted her stomach and let out a very contented burp.
"I haven't eaten this much in a long time!"
Liao Fan glanced at Shelia, then at Lu Jin.
At this moment, his admiration for Lu Jin as a Blessing Bearer was deeply evident.
To be able to command a Star Hunting Dragon, this Blessing Bearer was simply unfathomable.
Star Hunting Dragons are the proudest race in the Star Sea; for one to willingly obey a human's command...
If he had known about this before, he would have thought it was a fantasy!
At this time, Lu Jin looked at Liao Fan and began to inquire about the Sleeper Legion.
"Did any of our brothers come to you before?"
"I'm not aware of that. I can help you ask others."
"But the Blessing power on you is the strongest I've ever seen. Perhaps one of our brothers found you while on patrol and communicated with you."
"To be honest, if you had arrived any later, our Sleeper Legion might have been annihilated."
Immediately after, Liao Fan told Lu Jin.
In earlier years, they followed His Majesty the Sacred Emperor on campaigns, suppressing countless disasters.
It was precisely because these disasters were suppressed that the order of the entire Star Sea could be established.
But until they arrived at this planet, they discovered an extremely severe Zerg plague on it.
His Majesty the Sacred Emperor ordered them to guard here, and they could not leave until all Void Zerg were eliminated.
Originally, according to their plan, they would be able to annihilate all Void Zerg within about a hundred years.
By then, the Golden Gate would also open, and they would be able to return to the embrace of Holy Terra.
But an accident happened; a mutant appeared among the Void Zerg.
This mutant quickly became the Insect Emperor form of the Void Zerg. Void Zerg with zerg queen consciousness were no longer ordinary Void Zerg.
The original hundred-year suppression plan was directly extended to over a thousand years!
But over these thousands of years, they, the Sleepers, were constantly eroded by the Void Zerg, eventually reaching their current state.
The underground city outside was originally their Sleeper recruitment source.
But the current situation, Lu Jin had also seen.
"The resources of this planet have been drained by us and the Void Zerg!"
"If this continues, we will be the first to be completely depleted!"
"However, it's a good thing you've come. Perhaps you can help us break out of the current situation!"
As he spoke, Liao Fan led Lu Jin to the gathering place of the Sleeper Legion.
At this moment, there were many Sleepers in the gathering place.
They seemed tireless, with various tactical maps laid out in the stronghold!
And each small team was discussing tactics or exchanging various resource intelligence.
But the moment Lu Jin stepped into this stronghold, they felt the Blessing power on Lu Jin!
At this moment, Lu Jin felt as if he were Tang Sanzang, targeted by monsters.
"Such powerful Blessing power! It's a human favored by His Majesty the Sacred Emperor!"
"A thousand years have passed. Is His Majesty still well?"
"Great Blessing Bearer, Centurion Long Quan of the Sleeper Legion, extends his highest respect to you!"
Centurion Long Quan walked up to Lu Jin.
Looking at the Sleeper Centurion before him, Lu Jin couldn't help but size him up.
The Centurion's power armor was not only larger than others' power armor, but it also had more cracks and scratches.
It was clear that he became this Centurion entirely by relying on his own strength.
"Liao Fan, you did very well!"
"You can rest now; we still have a tough battle ahead."
Centurion Long Quan glanced at Liao Fan.
Liao Fan nodded; having gone through a fierce battle, he was already exhausted.
Under Lu Jin's gaze, Decurion Liao Fan, just like the Sleeper he had seen before, twisted his body and transformed into a wisp of smoke, disappearing from the spot.
Seeing such a miraculous scene, Yu Tiancang couldn't help but ask.
"He just disappeared like that?"
"Are you people or ghosts?"
Hearing these words, Centurion Long Quan burst into laughter.
The surrounding Sleepers also seemed to have heard some joke, and they all laughed in unison.
Yu Tiancang was confused, but Lu Jin quickly guessed the identity of these Sleepers.
"It is rumored that there is a device that can enhance the psionic energy within the human body, thereby obtaining a semi-real projection in reality."
"So what you are using should be this technology. Your true bodies are actually within a device."
"What is presented before us now is merely a projection you've condensed from psionic energy."
After hearing Lu Jin's words, Centurion Long Quan couldn't help but cast a look of admiration at him.
Because everything Lu Jin said was true.
Their true bodies were all lying in a psionic enhancement device; what was presented now was merely their psionic projection.
"When His Majesty the Sacred Emperor led us on campaigns, this was the question we heard most often."
"It's just a pity that we have been dormant for too long, and I estimate that there is little information left about us in the outside world."
"Blessing Bearer, we now need a large amount of energy. If you can solve our energy shortage problem, we will be able to slaughter all the Void Zerg here!"
Energy!
On other planets, even burning wood for hot water could yield a considerable energy income.
But on this already drained planet, energy had become something that swayed the balance of the battlefield.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang frowned tightly.
"There's less than 2 hours left until the extermination plan is executed."
"Even if we rush back in that amount of time, it will be too late!"
"The most crucial thing is, even if we go back and inform the Holy City of the situation here, will they believe us?"
At this very moment, time became the most critical issue.
Lu Jin stroked his chin, and after a moment of thought, he decisively formulated a series of plans.
"Shelia, Yu Tiancang, both of you immediately return to the surface."
"After delivering the news here to High Priest Yu Xin, then pilot the prometheus over!"
"I will stay here to help the Sleeper Legion fight against the Void Zerg."
Fight against the Void Zerg?
Although he knew Lu Jin had quite a few frost spirit crystals.
But with just these frost spirit crystals, could he help the Sleepers break the current situation?
As if seeing the doubt in Yu Tiancang's heart, Lu Jin, in full view of everyone, directly took out a spark source from his backpack.
+++
Chapter 73 Two-pronged attack! The Silent Coffin!
"The spark source?!"
Yu Tiancang stared in disbelief at the spark source in Lu Jin's hand.
Why would Lu Jin carry something like this in his backpack?
Lu Jin, of course, had his own considerations; when he realized there was something suspicious about the planet's geothermic energy depletion.
He took a certain amount of the spark source from the prometheus.
On a planet with depleted energy, it was wise to carry some energy-rich material.
This was an experience Lu Jin had accumulated from countless adventures in his previous life, and now, this experience proved useful.
The spark source, in a way, could be considered a special energy material.
Not only could it transform machinery into Apocalypse Creatures, but it also contained an immense amount of energy within!
It could be said that one spark source was enough to match the energy contained in several tons of energy ore!
Now, Centurion Long Quan's surprise was unconcealable after seeing the spark source.
"Excellent! With this, at least we won't be so passive."
"Blessing Bearer, I'll take you to our Sleeper base right now!"
"As long as there's enough energy, we Sleepers can possess endless combat power!"
At this, Centurion Long Quan was already impatient to take Lu Jin to the Sleeper base.
Yu Tiancang and Shelia also received orders from Lu Jin.
The two parties split up; Yu Tiancang and Shelia were responsible for relaying intelligence and mobilizing the prometheus.
Lu Jin, on the other hand, followed Centurion Long Quan to the Sleeper base to transfer the spark source's energy into the Sleeper base!
Along the way, Centurion Long Quan moved back and forth through the passages.
After opening one alloy door after another, Lu Jin finally arrived at the Sleeper base.
Even Lu Jin was unaware of the base's location.
Because the path to this base, in Lu Jin's memory, had been covered by a pile of rubble.
It was this unexplored area that housed the Sleeper Legion's base!
Looking around, Lu Jin first saw various clearly defined compartments.
Most of these compartments were in a sealed state, and inside them were the psionic amplification instruments used by the Sleepers.
As he walked, Lu Jin noticed that many functional compartments had been shut down.
This was due to the energy shortage; psionic amplification instruments also required energy to operate.
Therefore, in a state of energy scarcity, the Sleepers could only shut down some functional compartments and concentrate all energy on the psionic amplification instruments!
Upon reaching the energy compartment, Lu Jin decisively placed the spark source he had brought in his backpack inside it.
The energy converter in the energy compartment, after years of dormancy, began to operate again.
All the energy within the spark source was extracted, and the entire Sleeper base, just like its name, was awakening from its slumber!
More and more compartments lit up again, and Centurion Long Quan's power armor began to tremble slightly as he watched the gradually illuminating compartments.
The Sleeper Legion could finally go all out against the Void Zerg!
Meanwhile, Yu Tiancang and Shelia accelerated their departure from the ruins.
Upon reaching the surface, they saw that the original base had been dismantled.
The dismantled parts were being transported to a small vessel, and the remaining Golden Humans began to gradually evacuate.
"Quickly contact the High Priest!"
But at this moment, Yu Tiancang found that the High Priest's communication signal could not be connected.
What was going on?
On the Moon Shadow's bridge, High Priest Yu Xin was currently under immense pressure.
Because standing before her were the leaders of several other Holy Cities!
"Yu Xin! You're really bold now!"
"Heh heh, you want us to delay the annihilation plan, do you know what you're saying?"
"Have you been in the Holy City for too long and are unaware of the Void Zerg's danger?"
"If we are even one step late and let a single Void Zerg escape, in due time it will become an endless insect plague!"
"I'm very clear, so I'm only suggesting a delay to the annihilation plan; perhaps there are crucial details on this planet that we haven't yet explored!"
To buy Lu Jin time, High Priest Yu Xin was doing her utmost.
But even so, the leaders of the other Holy Cities completely disregarded Yu Xin.
They were well aware of the Void Zerg's danger, so they could not allow these insects to continue to exist!
"Captain Yu Xin, His Majesty the Sacred Emperor's guidance to us might be to hope that we completely eradicate these insects!"
"Exactly! We cannot, because of one Blessing Bearer, ignore the entire galactic crisis!"
But before these leaders could finish speaking, Li Cheng rushed into the bridge.
At this moment, Li Cheng was clutching a recording tablet made of alloy.
His expression was extremely excited, as if he had discovered something extraordinary!
"No! We cannot execute the annihilation plan!"
"I know... I know who the legion in the underground ruins is!"
"The annihilation plan cannot be executed, we cannot..."
Looking at the breathless Li Cheng, the many leaders frowned.
Cannot execute the annihilation plan?
Why couldn't the annihilation plan be executed?
And what was the legion in the underground ruins?
High Priest Yu Xin immediately sent someone to support Li Cheng and told him to calm down and explain his discovery properly.
"It's the Sleeper Legion!"
"The Sleeper Legion established by His Majesty the Sacred Emperor!"
"This underground ruin, besides the Void Zerg, also contains the Sleeper Legion established by His Majesty the Sacred Emperor!"
"It's them! For such a long time, it has always been them fighting against the Void Zerg!"
"They are the heroes of the Golden Humans, the subjects of His Majesty the Sacred Emperor; we cannot just obliterate them!"
What?!
The Sleeper Legion?!
Upon learning of Li Cheng's discovery, the leaders of the many Holy Cities all changed their expressions.
This underground ruin actually contained a legion established by the Sacred Emperor?
"I remember, the Sleeper Legion was an expeditionary legion established by the Sacred Emperor."
"This legion disappeared during its expedition; I didn't expect them to be here suppressing the insect plague!"
"But if the Sleepers haven't suppressed the insect plague for so many years, doesn't that indicate the severity of these insect plagues?"
Because of the appearance of the Sleepers, all the leaders began to feel uneasy.
At this moment, a Holy City Guard detected an anomaly on the radar.
The radar showed that a vessel had appeared on the surface of this barren planet?
And a large vessel at that?
"Reporting, Captain! We've detected traces of a large vessel on the planet's surface!"
Immediately, everyone's attention was drawn.
And amidst the swirling sand on the surface, a massive and magnificent vessel broke through the sand!
This enormous vessel was the Sleeper Legion's flagship.
The sarcophagus of silence!
+++
Chapter 74 The Awakening Flagship! The Holy Emperor's Sword!
"Hahaha, I never thought that after so many years, this old fellow could fly into the Star Sea again!"
On the bridge, Centurion Long Quan burst into laughter.
Even he hadn't expected that the spark source Lu Jin possessed contained such immense energy.
The injection of this energy not only resurrected the Sleeper Legion but also reactivated the legion's flagship, which had been dormant for a long time!
Lu Jin also hadn't expected that this so-called legion base was actually a large-scale legion flagship.
No wonder when he first entered, he noticed that the base's hatch looked a bit like a ship's hatch.
The internal layout was also extremely similar to that of a ship!
It turned out that this so-called base was a genuine ship!
Just then, the sarcophagus of silence's radar system emitted a series of alarm sounds.
On the radar display, a red dot appeared.
Immediately after, more and more red dots appeared, filling the entire radar interface like a rainstorm within a few breaths!
"It's the Void Zerg!"
"These bugs must have smelled the energy fluctuations of the sarcophagus of silence."
Looking at the red dots on the radar, Centurion Long Quan snorted coldly.
The Sleeper Legion and the Void Zerg had been fighting for thousands of years; no one understood these damned bugs better than them.
Centurion Long Quan then looked at Lu Jin and stated solemnly,
"The former Sleepers, due to energy scarcity, have always been contending with the Void Zerg."
"But today is different; we have energy replenishment."
"It's time to let these bugs witness the true power of the Sleeper Legion!"
"Blessing Bearer, please witness the reawakening of our Sleeper Legion!"
The Sleeper Legion, which had been dormant deep underground for a long time, would now reappear in the Star Sea's view.
And this time, they would demonstrate, letting the world know, why they became a sharp sword in the hands of the Sacred Emperor!
Under Lu Jin's gaze, Centurion Long Quan transformed into a quietgreen light and vanished from his spot.
On the planet's surface, countless Swarms surged out from the ground like a tide.
Their dense numbers made High Priest Yu Xin and other Holy City leaders feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.
"This... this planet's underground actually has so many Void Zerg!"
"Such a terrifying scale, their numbers must have exceeded hundreds of millions!"
"No wonder this planet is so barren; it turns out it was all drained by these bugs!"
"No, we must immediately launch the annihilation plan; we absolutely cannot let these Void Zerg leave this planet."
At this moment, a large number of green beams appeared at the bottom of the sarcophagus of silence.
These beams, like waterfalls, fell directly onto the surface.
Each beam represented a warrior of the Sleeper Legion!
Centurion Long Quan stood among the ranks, looking at the Void Swarm, which was approaching like a black tide.
"Brothers, it's time to complete the mission given to us by His Majesty, the Sacred Emperor!"
Kill!
At his command, all Sleepers immediately pulled out their ranged firearms.
Large-caliber explosive bullet guns, each bullet easily piercing through the Void Zerg's armor.
Molten guns that sprayed lava, each spray transforming an entire area into a scorching inferno.
Even the Void Zerg found such high temperatures unbearable!
And the Sleepers at the very rear of the formation held a psionic amplifier, composed of various electronic parts, resembling a scepter!
With the activation of the psionic amplifier, the entire battlefield was instantly covered by the Sleepers' psionic energy.
The psionic energy, almost materialized, enveloped the entire battlefield in their domain like a white mist!
The advancing Void Zerg, upon entering the psionic domain, immediately felt a wave of drowsiness.
Their movements gradually became sluggish, and their thoughts gradually became rigid.
Some Void Zerg with poor resistance even collapsed on the spot, falling into a state of slumber.
And these Void Zerg were ruthlessly trampled to death by the Void Zerg charging from behind!
Seizing this opportunity, the Sleepers began a large-scale counterattack!
The surging Swarm was suppressed so easily?
"What a powerful legion, suppressing the Swarm with just a few thousand people?"
"The Sleepers, the Sacred Emperor's sharp sword, are indeed so formidable!"
"It seems we don't need to intervene; these brave warriors alone are enough to annihilate these Void Zerg!"
"Sacred Emperor above! This is simply a treasure left for us Golden Humans!"
While the Holy City leaders were still immersed in the might of the Sleeper Legion, Yu Tiancang had already followed Lu Jin's command.
The prometheus arrived on the planet's surface and gradually successfully docked with the sarcophagus of silence!
With the two ships successfully docked, Yu Tiancang immediately dispatched all the dragon flame mecha infantry and Fang Drones to transfer all the energy minerals from his ship into the sarcophagus of silence's energy chambers.
As a large amount of energy minerals were fed into the energy chambers, Lu Jin opened the sarcophagus of silence's data panel.
"Ship Function Restart Progress 50%..."
Only half the progress after putting all the ship's energy into it?
At this moment, High Priest Yu Xin's communication signal popped up.
Lu Jin decisively answered the call, and High Priest Yu Xin's figure appeared in his view.
Seeing Lu Jin safe and sound, High Priest Yu Xin finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Lu Jin, what is the situation with the Sleeper Legion and the Void Swarm now?"
What was the situation?
Lu Jin glanced at the battlefield; the Sleepers now seemed fierce, constantly pushing back the Swarm's front lines.
But Lu Jin knew very well that the Void Swarm, which had given birth to the zerg queen consciousness, would definitely not be so easily defeated.
Therefore, he now needed to fully awaken the entire sarcophagus of silence!
Lu Jin had just checked; there were at least a thousand Sleeper chambers still in hibernation!
Centurion Long Quan had told him that these Sleepers were the backbone of the legion, and also the first batch to run out of energy and fall into hibernation.
If there was enough energy to awaken these Sleepers, their legion could truly be considered fully awake.
So, Lu Jin looked at High Priest Yu Xin.
"Although the Sleeper Legion currently has the upper hand, the Swarm will definitely quickly organize a counterattack!"
"I need a large amount of energy minerals; with enough energy minerals, I can fully activate the Sleeper Legion."
After hearing Lu Jin's words, the other Holy City leaders chuckled softly.
They felt that Lu Jin underestimated the Sleeper Legion too much!
The current Void Swarm was completely being overwhelmed by the Sleeper Legion; it was only a matter of time before the Sleeper Legion annihilated the Swarm.
"The Sleepers are the sharp sword of the Sacred Emperor; this young man is still not devout enough towards His Majesty, the Sacred Emperor!"
+++
Chapter 75 The Weakness of Arrogance! The Titans Descend!
After witnessing the power of the Sleeper, many leaders of the Holy City were greatly emboldened.
What about the terrifying Void Zerg, which strikes fear into the hearts of many?
Now, facing the Sleeper Legion, are they not still being suppressed, unable to raise their heads?
"This young man is still too young; he doesn't understand the Sleeper Legion enough."
"I just checked the data. His Majesty the Sacred Emperor once established countless legions, and these legions were all composed of warriors personally trained by His Majesty the Sacred Emperor!"
"Personally trained by His Majesty the Sacred Emperor? Then these warriors are absolutely the elite of the elite!"
"Everyone, the crisis has been resolved. With the Sleeper Legion, we will no longer fear any powerful enemy!"
Facing the inexplicable confidence of the many Holy City leaders, Lu Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.
It wasn't that he didn't know the power of the Sleeper Legion.
But he also never underestimated the terrifying extent of the Void Zerg!
The Void Zerg emerging from the ground now couldn't even be considered the main force of the Void Zerg.
If these Void Zerg were the main force, the zerg queen consciousness would not have been able to be born.
Nor would the Sleeper Legion have been entangled with it for so many years!
Arrogance is the greatest weakness!
Meanwhile, High Priest Yu Xin frowned slightly; even she believed that with the Sleeper Legion stationed in this battle, victory was only a matter of time.
But seeing Lu Jin's expression so serious, she also cleared her throat and said,
"I will dispatch a resource transport ship to transport a portion of the Holy City's resource reserves over."
"High Priest Yu Xin, do you not believe in these brave warriors either?"
"The Holy City's resource inventory isn't just conjured out of thin air. Are you really giving a ship's worth of resources to a greenhorn?"
"Hmph, even if he is a Blessing Bearer, what of it? He is not one of us Golden Humans after all!"
"Enough! I am the captain of the Moon Shadow Holy City, and how these resources are allocated is not for you to dictate."
At this moment, High Priest Yu Xin recalled what Lu Jin had said earlier.
If not for Lu Jin's insistence, they would have almost annihilated the Sleeper Legion along with the Void Zerg.
Such a matter made High Priest Yu Xin, at this moment, even more determined to stand with Lu Jin!
As soon as her voice fell, the battle situation on the planet's surface underwent a drastic change.
The entire battlefield began to tremble, as if some colossal creature was moving beneath the sandy surface.
Boom!
A massive figure burst out from the sand.
Seeing this figure, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Because what appeared before them was an enormous Zerg, over 10 meters tall, with several spear-like tentacles growing from its back!
The moment this gigantic Void Zerg appeared, it immediately launched an attack on the Sleeper Legion, leveraging its powerful physical advantage.
The Sleeper Legion's weapons, when they struck its body, could only produce a series of sparks on its carapace.
Pfft...
The giant Zerg directly impaled a Sleeper's body with the tentacles on its back.
As its body was pierced, that Sleeper, like willow catkins in the wind, gradually transformed into specks of psionic energy and vanished from its spot.
Immediately after, the giant Zerg attacked again!
Each attack resulted in a Sleeper being killed!
Seeing the Sleeper instantly fall into a disadvantage, everyone's eyes widened, simply unable to believe their own eyes.
"This... how is this possible?"
"Why is there such a massive Void Zerg!"
"This is bad, the Sleeper Legion can't withstand this monster's attacks at all!"
"Records concerning the Void Zerg have never mentioned that the Void Zerg could grow this large!"
Clearly, the appearance of the giant Zerg caught everyone off guard.
The battle line that had just been pushed forward was now once again controlled by the Void Zerg!
On the ship, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the giant Zerg below.
Seeing this, Yin Yue, who was beside him, voluntarily offered to fight.
"Captain, should I go down and slay this monster!"
"No need!"
Lu Jin opened the control panel of the sarcophagus of silence, displaying all the data of the compartments before him.
And when his gaze fell on one of the compartments, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly upwards.
He redirected energy into the compartment's pipelines.
The Sleeper in this compartment gradually awoke from its dormant state, activated by the energy.
Lu Jin smiled faintly and directly pressed the activation button.
"Big problems should be solved with big solutions!"
Immediately after, another deployment beam appeared at the bottom of the sarcophagus of silence.
But unlike before, this deployment beam was much thicker than the beam that deployed the Sleeper!
The moment the deployment beam dissipated, a colossal titan mech, as massive as a war chariot, appeared in the center of the battlefield.
The Sleeper inside the titan mech looked at the battlefield, which was covered with Void Zerg.
Finally, his gaze fell upon that giant Zerg.
At this moment, the gazes of the two behemoths collided!
Roar!
The giant Zerg let out a roar and charged directly towards the titan mech.
Meanwhile, the Sleeper inside the titan mech snorted coldly.
"I've been in slumber for so long, I didn't expect to wake up today."
"It's time to make you insects remember again."
"The fear of being dominated by my iron fist!"
Surging energy circulated within the titan mech.
The Sleeper inside manipulated the titan mech, directly raising its right fist!
The titan mech's right fist had long been reinforced, becoming terrifyingly powerful!
Boom!
A punch slammed into the giant Zerg's head.
The fierce alloy fist directly smashed the giant Zerg's head into a bloody mess.
But the Zerg, possessing tenacious vitality, not only did not die but instead manipulated the tentacles on its back to strike at the titan mech.
The Zerg tentacles, as hard as metal, pierced through the titan mech like a spear.
But just then, the Sleeper's titan mech, like a phantom, directly dematerialized and broke free from the giant Zerg's restraint.
Immediately after, a large amount of psionic energy erupted from the titan mech like steam.
The giant Zerg, enveloped by the psionic steam, also began to fall into a dazed state.
The titan mech seized this opportunity and immediately initiated a barrage of punches, one after another.
In less than a minute, the giant Zerg collapsed directly.
And the Sleeper inside the titan mech gave the giant Zerg no chance at all, spreading his arms, and a flamethrower was immediately unleashed.
Flames engulfed the entire battlefield, and the giant Zerg's corpse was directly charred.
Even with such strong vitality, it would not be able to stand up again.
With the addition of the titan mech to the battlefield, the Sleeper Legion gained even more power and immediately began to counterattack the Swarm.
The zerg queen consciousness inside the Swarm, at this moment, also realized the seriousness of the problem.
