Ch: 69-74
Chapter 69 Chapter 69
"No matter. But if anyone is found secretly colluding with alien forces, plotting mischief, or intentionally creating panic and instigating war, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Want to fight? I'll lead you against alien invasion! Want technology? Exchange it for military merits! If you want to open up colonies, whatever you conquer with your own abilities is yours!"
"I will not interfere with past grievances, but on the issue of Blue Star, my bottom line is absolutely not to be touched!"
Wang Haoyu's expression was stern as he clearly stated his position to everyone present.
When the five temporary staff officers in front of Wang Haoyu simultaneously saluted, their tone was exceptionally solemn:
"We cannot guarantee that we can fully realize your vision, but we will definitely do our best to persuade the leaders and always maintain a unified stance with you!"
At this moment, not only the staff officers in the command room, but also hundreds of generals and Commanders watching through the screen in the conference room stood up simultaneously and rendered a solemn military salute to Wang Haoyu.
Although Wang Haoyu's actions seemed to interfere with Blue Star's internal affairs, for these soldiers who had witnessed the vastness of the Universe, Blue Star precisely needed someone who could make a definitive decision.
"Relax, everyone." Wang Haoyu lazily leaned back in the sofa and waved his hand, "Report what needs to be reported, explain what needs to be explained. As long as Blue Star is not in chaos, you can handle it as you see fit."
"Those who are willing to venture into the Universe with me are welcome. If you seek stability, I will not force you."
As he stretched, he couldn't help but sigh: When did this idle person, lounging on the sofa and deciding the fate of Planets, become himself?
"We will follow your instructions, sir." General Xu agreed deeply.
As long as Blue Star's stability is maintained, there is room for maneuver. Among the thirty-odd allied nations, even if a minority objects, Umbrella and its allies possess absolute suppressive power—this is the true confidence.
"Forgive my extra question," General Xu suddenly asked with piercing eyes, "You just mentioned that we can still conquer the Universe with Umbrella in the future?"
He keenly caught the key information: Wang Haoyu mentioned the possibility of long-term cooperation, not the disbandment of the allied forces after this campaign.
"That's right." Wang Haoyu nodded lazily, "But it depends on data such as the casualty ratio and merit points of the 30,000 allied forces."
"If it's a mess..." He shrugged, "I can't help either."
"But I can use aliens for biochemical experiments, yet I can't just watch so many soldiers die in vain; my conscience wouldn't allow it!"
Wang Haoyu said these words to General Xu with a frank expression, not even blinking.
One must know that when Umbrella first started, he had abducted quite a few test subjects from the Marvel Universe, and now he was putting on this posture of caring for his Earth compatriots.
Heh, a politician's facade.
These words not only brought tears to the eyes of the five temporary staff officers, but all the generals in the conference room were deeply moved—this was a true big brother!
Mr. Wang, who wielded the power to destroy Earth, not only did not interfere with various **governments, but only made one request: maintain peace, prohibit war.
He also promised to help them cultivate local **cadets, though it had to be exchanged for military merits; allowed the exchange of military merits for technology; and now even thoughtfully considered the issue of soldier casualties.
Big Brother! From now on, you are our true big brother!
How could Wang Haoyu know the drama these people were imagining? Even if he knew, he would only smile. Cultivate cadets? Sure, anyway, at most they would only reach the level of the Aecia fleet. How much stronger could they get? They still couldn't beat him.
As long as there was an absolute crushing advantage, these people would have to honestly work as laborers. Want to exchange for technology? Bring military merits! Accumulate enough capital first. In short, he wouldn't do a losing business.
As for speaking blatant lies? That's called selective statement! Whether others believe it or not, he himself believes it.
While Wang Haoyu and General Xu were negotiating, the battle on Sandstone Planet was even more tragic than on Muteng Star—but for the Avengers members, the points earned were also more satisfying.
The massive number of enemy forces meant higher point rewards.
All the warriors were striving to achieve excellent rankings.
Although the punishment for the last three places was not explicitly stated, Wang Haoyu knew it would certainly not be a glorious matter.
Losing face in front of these colleagues? Absolutely not allowed!
Driven by this strong fighting spirit, the Avengers members completely cleared the main resistance forces on Sandstone Planet within 24 hours.
All that remained were scattered small armed groups and the remnants of the routed vassal armies.
At the same time, the First Exploration Fleet finally completed the mopping up of the resistance forces on Muteng Star.
They deployed about ten thousand Umbrella soldiers and more than ten captured Aecia warships on Muteng Star.
The superficial task was to maintain the safety of the garrison, clear out remaining resistance forces, and reorganize local military forces.
In fact, this detachment also received secret orders:
If they encountered a large-scale enemy, they were to immediately evacuate and abandon Muteng Star.
Carrying three to four hundred captured Aecia warships and a complete fleet organization,
The illustrious and Bismarck advanced in full force from the direction of Muteng Star.
As the exploration fleet arrived,
The Aecia forces on Sandstone Planet were also largely cleared out.
General Liang decisively withdrew the Main Fleet from the Sandstone Planet defense zone,
Handing it over to the exploration fleet,
And then led the First Main Fleet towards the remaining two colonial Planets.
The spatial and temporal scale of interstellar warfare often numbs one,
The long voyages of inter-planetary operations,
Like the arduous journey of the Ming Dynasty fleet from its homeland to Africa,
And then fighting its way to the Red Sea.
But under the excellent command of the strategic master Ling Liang,
The remaining two colonial Planets were quickly conquered with minimal cost.
"The enemy should have realized by now that all colonial Planets have fallen."
In the warship operations room,
General Liang unfurled the holographic star map.
Approximately five to six hundred Aecia warships in the colonial star system had been largely annihilated,
Nearly a hundred usable warships were captured,
And countless vassal armies and Aecia prisoners of war were assimilated.
Regarding these vassal armies and Aecia soldiers, Wang Haoyu and Ling Liang unanimously decided to detain them on the spot.
After defecting, would they turn their guns on the Aexian people?
Don't dream about it.
The vassal armies on these colonial Planets, the shortest had been enslaved for decades, the longest even close to two hundred years.
After such a long period of **control, how much loyalty could they possibly have left?
"Whether they detect the anomaly of this colonial Planet or not!"
"The Royal Fleet stationed in the Shattered Star Belt also cannot withstand the firepower of our First Main Fleet!"
After some planning, General Xu and the others finally caught General Liang's eye.
However, even with her approval, they still needed good training and tempering.
"As long as we eliminate this Royal Fleet, the next step should be to directly attack Esia Homeworld!"
"It's just... will Esia Homeworld be hiding some secret weapon capable of destroying Planets?"
"After all, they've been able to jump around under Asgard's nose for so long..."
"If they didn't have any trump cards, it would be unreasonable."
After a brief thought, General Liang no longer dwelled on these issues.
The Star-destroying Level combat power in her hands was not just for show—just that simpleton from Asgard possessed the power to destroy Earth.
Not to mention hundreds of Quasi-Star-Destroying Level Demon Vengeance Goddesses.
Plus Astraea and Icarus, who are genuine Star-destroying Level combat powers... General Liang was full of confidence!
Moreover, she still had Wang Haoyu, the ultimate trump card, yet to be used.
"Commander, we have a situation!"
Just as General Liang was about to mobilize the fleet to annihilate the enemy's more than five hundred Royal warships in one fell swoop, a messenger suddenly burst into the command room.
"What's going on?"
643 took the report and scanned it, General Liang's brows instantly furrowed.
Why now of all times!
"What happened?"
Seeing General Liang's expression, Wang Haoyu directly snatched the report.
Even the five temporary staff officers, who had just become familiar with them, noticed the anomaly—this female general, who had always been resourceful, had never shown such a grave expression.
It seems... they really ran into **trouble this time.
"Interesting, truly **interesting!"
"The Kree Empire's fleet chose to appear at such a time, it's truly damnable!"
Wang Haoyu quickly scanned the battle report, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"You all take a look."
Seeing the five temporary staff officers' inquiring looks, he casually tossed the battle report over.
The staff officers who received the battle report instantly turned ashen—
Three thousand warships? Kree Empire? What a joke!
After continuous battles with General Liang, they had deeply understood the terrifying combat power of Space Battleships. After General Liang's tactical explanations, everyone also knew that Blue Star's resources could at most form a fleet of a thousand ships.
But the Kree Empire deployed three thousand ships... How could this battle be fought?
Not only were the staff officers internally collapsing, but the generals in the conference room who saw the battle report on the large screen also became agitated—the Royal Fleet still had over five hundred warships, and it was not impossible to completely annihilate them.
But the problem was—the Base in the Star Shattering Passage was facing annihilation! Not only were Wang Haoyu's troops stationed there, but also elite talents transported by various countries. If they didn't return to reinforce, the Kree Empire would wipe out their main Base; if they did return, the Royal Fleet would surely stab them in the back.
Even more critically, the Kree Empire was actually flying the banner of "aiding the Aecia Civilization plagued by demons"... It was obvious who these "demons" referred to.
"Commander," the staff officer said in a deep voice, "No matter what decision you make, we will follow you to the death."
General Xu and the other five exchanged glances, then solemnly said to Wang Haoyu.
Although they said that, their hearts were bleeding.
Those elites in the Spaceport were the pillars of the nation! To abandon them like this was truly unbearable.
But if they didn't abandon them, and the Royal Fleet stabbed them in the back, even if the Umbrellafleet won, they would probably pay a terrible price!
In desperation, the five generals could only harden their hearts and abandon the more than ten thousand people in the Star Shattering Passage Spaceport.
In the conference room, although hundreds of generals were discussing animatedly, the vast majority held the same attitude—
Sacrifice the elites in the Spaceport, and completely annihilate the Aecia Royal Fleet!
"What to think? There's nothing to think about!"
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Haoyu's mouth as he turned to General Liang: "If I'm not here, can you completely annihilate the Aecia Civilization with just Icarus and Astraea?"
Suffer a loss?
Sorry, Wang Haoyu never suffers a loss!
And there's no need to!
By now, he had accumulated more than ten check-in chances.
Couldn't these check-ins draw out a force sufficient to completely annihilate the enemy?
Damn Kree and Empire! If I don't destroy you, my name isn't Wang Haoyu!
"Absolutely."
General Liang, who understood the Commander, nodded seriously.
In this situation, she had a ninety-nine percent certainty of annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop with minimal cost!
No problem at all!
But she also understood Wang Haoyu—
He was probably going to face them alone!
"Sir, are you...?"
General Xu asked, puzzled.
"Nothing. Since the Kree and Empire fleets are looking for death, I'll grant them their wish!"
Wang Haoyu shook his head slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "I'll return to the Star Shattering Passage alone. Those guys are my problem, the Spaceport will be absolutely safe!"
These Kree and Empire guys really know how to pick their timing... Not too early, not too late, but precisely now!
"Hiss—"
"Hiss!"
Chapter 70
"Gasp!"
Hearing that Wang Haoyu intended to face the Kree and Empire fleets alone,
whether it was General Xu and the five temporary staff officers, or the restless generals in the conference room, everyone gasped in shock.
At that moment, everyone simultaneously drew a sharp breath.
What... did this mean?
This meant that Wang Haoyu, relying solely on his own strength, could completely destroy three thousand enemy warships!
To destroy the Blue Star, a few hundred ships from the Aixia Civilization would be enough to severely damage it, let alone facing three thousand warships of the Kree Empire.
Wang Haoyu alone was enough to reach the Star-destroying Level!
"I'm leaving. Focus on your own battles; leave the Kreegen warships to me."
Saying this, Wang Haoyu raised his hand and waved, directly opening a spatial gate to the Void Dimension.
To cover such a vast distance and reach the Spaceport of the Star Shattering Passage, they could only rely on the power of the Void Dimension.
"May I ask... exactly what level of strength does this gentleman possess..."
Although Quasi-Star-Destroying Level combat power had appeared in the Umbrella Army, that standard could at most be considered Nation-Destroying Level or Continent-Destroying Level. But Wang Haoyu could single-handedly fight three thousand Kreegen warships—what kind of existence was that?
"The Commander's strength? Even the Demon Vengeance Goddesses couldn't withstand his punch!"
After a slight pause, Ling Liang immediately brought up Wang Haoyu's past achievement—he had single-handedly fought hundreds of Demon Vengeance Goddesses in space until he completely defeated them!
Seeing this footage, the many generals changed color and secretly clicked their tongues in amazement.
They were very clear about the power of the Demon Vengeance Goddesses.
In a previous fierce battle, just a few Demon Vengeance Goddesses were dispatched and succeeded in surrounding and killing an enemy's Quasi-Star-Destroying combatant. From that moment, the generals of the Punitive Force truly realized the terror of individual power.
One person annihilating an Aircraft Carrier Battle Group? This was no longer fantasy, but a genuine fact.
Although that was only a modern Aircraft Carrier formation from Earth's Surface.
But at this moment, everyone had only one thought—they hoped the Kree Empire's fleet wouldn't provoke Wang Haoyu, otherwise... they still wanted to study their technology!
"Then, the next step—is our war!"
With the threat to the Star Shattering Passage removed, fierce fighting intent ignited in Ling Liang's eyes.
After the Exploration Fleet and the Main Fleet rendezvoused, she decisively gave the order—Full-scale Attack!
Hiding near the Shattered Star Belt, foolishly attempting to rely on hundreds of Cosmic Fortresses to block our army's advance?
Simply wishful thinking!
Following Ling Liang's command, the First Main Fleet and the First Exploration Fleet simultaneously bared their sharp fangs!
At the same time, Wang Haoyu directly arrived at the Spaceport of the Star Shattering Passage via the Void Dimension Teleportation Gate.
The person responsible for guarding this location was a Brigadier General, a Commander recently promoted by Ling Liang.
"Commander! The enemy has reached the entrance of the Star Shattering Passage and is advancing toward us!"
Upon seeing Wang Haoyu appear, the Brigadier General immediately stood at attention and reported.
"They've reached the passage entrance?"
"Understood. Your mission is to hold the line!"
"Do not launch unauthorized attacks!"
"I will handle these invaders."
After all, this was Wang Haoyu's territory.
How could he tolerate the Kree fleet acting presumptuously here!
Having finished his instructions, Wang Haoyu flashed away, heading straight for the entrance at the other end of the passage.
The Star Shattering Passage was extremely vast.
If one were navigating through the Shattered Star Belt, it would take at least ten days to half a month to cross.
But after this passage was opened, the journey was shortened and could be completed within two or three days.
Wang Haoyu's goal was clear right now—to completely annihilate the enemy forces within the passage!
"Although my current personal combat strength is decent..."
"In the Marvel Universe, I'm only considered second-rate at best."
"By this standard, Thanos should be considered a First-Rate Expert..."
"Tsk, what a headache!"
Thinking of this, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but rub his temples.
After all, the Marvel Universe was full of hidden masters.
Wang Haoyu vaguely remembered that people stronger than Odin and Ancient One definitely existed, but he couldn't recall the details.
"System, sign in!"
No longer overthinking it, Wang Haoyu immediately called up the system, ready to try his luck.
"Ding! Sign-in successful. Obtained Special Building: Interstellar Fortress!"
As the system prompt sounded.
A gigantic structure resembling a War Fortress suddenly appeared in Wang Haoyu's Storage Space.
Wang Haoyu gazed at the magnificent Space Fortress before him, lightly swiping his finger to pull up its basic parameters.
"Damn it!" The moment the data interface unfolded, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but curse.
This wasn't because the Space Fortress performed poorly; quite the opposite—its technological level far surpassed the current era! What was more irritating was that he was given a complete Interstellar Fortress, yet it stubbornly refused to provide the corresponding Technical Data.
What kind of Interstellar Joke was this!
Tens of thousands of Orbital Star-Destroying Cannons stood proudly, with muzzle diameters alone exceeding a hundred kilometers. And that wasn't all—Dimensional Collapse Cannon? Causal Law Weapon? Two-Dimensional Foil Strike System? These Super Weapons, whose very names reeked of danger, were now untouchable ornaments.
Most ironically, the internal operating system of this behemoth, dubbed the "Mobile War Fortress," was outrageously complex. Basic maintenance required thirty thousand personnel coordinating thirty subsystems, and full-power operation needed one hundred and fifty thousand officers and soldiers working with over two hundred control systems.
The interior of the fortress was spacious: three hundred berths for Main Ships, or ten times that capacity if docking Aixia-class Small Warships. As for the garrison size? Squeezing in seven or eight million was barely an issue.
"Nonsense!" Wang Haoyu rubbed his temples. Right now, he couldn't even gather three hundred Sailors, let alone an army of a million. This War Machine, which should have been sweeping all before it, could only continue gathering dust in the System Warehouse.
Theoretically, nearly ten thousand troops could be stationed in the Aexian people's Space Fortresses, but Wang Haoyu had only arranged minimal Garrison Personnel.
Lack of personnel—this ironic reality forced a bitter smile from Wang Haoyu. Even possessing the two major weapons, the Co-Brilliance Base and the Shenzhou Base, resources were still stretched thin. Mining, manufacturing vehicles, frantic collecting, yet consumption always outpaced replenishment.
"Sign in again! I don't believe I can't draw anything good!" Wang Haoyu gritted his teeth and activated the system. Obtaining the Interstellar Fortress earlier was already a surprise, barely qualifying as fifty-fifty luck. He clicked'Sign In' again without hesitation.
[Ding! Obtained Yuri Faction Base Vehicle x1!]
Wang Haoyu's eye twitched: "Are you messing with me?! I want a Yuri Vehicle, but not right now!" With powerful enemies surrounding him, this Mental Control Faction was completely useless. He could only temporarily store it in his backpack—only after dealing with the Kree Empire and the Aixia Vassal Armywould using Yuri troops to control prisoners be the right application for this vehicle. After all, the joint effort by the Eagle and the Bear to suppress Yuri back then showed how dangerous he was.
"Keep signing!" Wang Haoyu had a premonition that he was sliding into the Abyss of the African Chief.
[Ding! Obtained Empire of the Rising Sun Base Vehicle x1!]
"Sign in again!"
[Ding! Obtained Red Soviet Base Vehicle x1!]
"Continue!"
[Ding! Obtained Allied Forces Base Vehicle x1!]
The system seemed to be having a clearance sale, throwing strings of Base Vehicles at Wang Haoyu. He finally stopped in a fit of rage:
"You dog system! Can you act like a person?!"
Wang Haoyu randomly chose a floating Meteorite to land on and cursed the dormant monthly sign-in system inside him.
This broken system was utterly frustrating!
Giving him an Interstellar Fortress that couldn't be activated was bad enough, but it kept stuffing Red Alert Series Base Vehicles at him one after another. Was this the time to play a strategy game? He needed an Interstellar Fleet that could immediately enter battle, even a Space Marine Corps would be fine!
The system remained silent, completely playing dead.
The exasperated Wang Haoyu glanced at the Base Vehicles. According to his memory, he was close to gathering the Base Vehicles from all the Major Red Alert Factions. If he let these factions "borrow" technology from each other, perhaps he could piece together a complete red alert Technology Tree?
This thought was immediately suppressed—distant water couldn't quench a nearby fire.
"Continue signing in!"
After calming down, Wang Haoyu decided to use up his remaining sign-in attempts. He had to try his luck; the current situation was too stifling.
[Ding! Sign-in successful. Obtained Super God Universe Angel Legion x1]
He didn't expect cursing to actually work; the system, for once, gave him a proper army.
"Angels from the Super God Universe? And from the period of the Merovingian Heavenly Court?" Wang Haoyu hurriedly pulled up the legion data. Although the size was only a hundred people, the uniformly Silver-Armored, Red-Robed Winged Warriors holding Swords of Flame were shocking enough.
When he activated the Summoning Procedure, the void engine inside him suddenly generated a Data Resonance with this group of Angels.
**Void Engine Network construction complete!
Following the Mechanical Electronic Sound from within, one hundred silent Angels simultaneously raised their heads.
They knelt on one knee in the starry sky, offering Wang Haoyu the most solemn ceremony.
"Greetings to the Angel Commander-in-Chief!"
The neat sound of their oath reverberated throughout the entire Star Debris Belt.
Wang Haoyu gazed at this group of Angels, the frustration caused by the Red Alert Base Vehicles instantly vanishing.
African (Bad Luck)? Doesn't exist! See? This Angel Legion is the best proof!
"All stand up. Who is your Commander?"
Wang Haoyu smiled as he surveyed the graceful and charming Angels before him.
In the Aesthetic Spectrum of the Super God Universe, if the Angel Civilization claimed the second-best Appearance, no one would dare claim the first.
A uniform line of Angel Big Sisters was simply too pleasing to the eye.
"Reporting, Commander-in-Chief, I am the Commander."
A slender Angel spread her wings and flew over, her voice, clear as a spring, ringing in Wang Haoyu's ear.
"Good. Now I have a mission for you—"
"Come with me on this campaign!"
"Sisters, are you ready?"
Wang Haoyu spread his arms, issuing the call to arms to the Angels like a sermon.
"Fight for Justice!"
"Fight for Light!"
One hundred Swords of Flame simultaneously pointed toward the starry sky.
Watching this group of passionate Angel Warriors, Wang Haoyu muttered internally: Are you sure you know what justice is?
However, this group of cute and loyal Angels was very much to his liking.
Who cares about the definition of justice?
Where I stand is Justice!
My will is Light!
"Move out!"
Wang Haoyu waved his arm, leading this Divine Legion toward the Stellar Rift.
Wings spread across the sky, one hundred Combat Angels followed closely.
During the journey, Wang Haoyu engaged in an in-depth conversation with the Angel LegionCommander.
The latest intelligence was shocking:
All members of this Angel Legion were First-Order Divine Bodies.
Even more astonishingly, within the Angel Civilization,
there were several Elite Units composed of Second-Order Divine Body Warriors,
and some of those powerhouses had even been promoted to Third-Order Divine Bodies.
This news made Wang Haoyu gasp.
What was even more terrifying was that when the Angels were equipped with Standardized Battle Armor and Swords of Flame,
their combat power would increase geometrically.
Group combat was always the truth of the battlefield,
and the Angel Civilization understood this deeply.
When the numbers reached a Critical Point,
they could unleash devastating Combination Skills.
"Amazing! Truly amazing!"
After listening to the Commander's explanation, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.
The Super God Universe truly lived up to its reputation!
"Target sighted!"
Wang Haoyu, who was flying, suddenly stopped.
The void engine transmitted a warning:
The Kree Empire fleet was approaching.
The Angel Warriors uniformly hovered in the starry sky,
forming a Combat Formation behind Wang Haoyu.
"My Lord, what is the enemy's intelligence?"
The Legion Commander asked cautiously.
Chapter 71 Chapter 71
Although Angel Warriors have always been fearless,
after losing the support of their Mother Star in this unfamiliar Universe,
caution became a necessary choice.
I will help you.
The enemy's identity is not critical. Fear of battle never exists in the dictionary of an Angel.
She must be loyal to her duty and responsible for this Angel Unit.
In a World without the Angel Civilization, meaningless sacrifice cannot bring rebirth!
"Enemy intelligence? Combat system?"
"Wait a moment..."
Hearing the Commander speak, Wang Haoyu realized that he had not yet explained the opponent's information to these Angel Warriors.
Although for these Angels, the identity of the opponent was indeed irrelevant.
Any existence that blocks the path of the Angels will surely be eliminated and purified!
Wang Haoyu quickly uploaded the Kree intelligence he had gathered to the Angel Unit's operational network, along with the data on the enemy's Space Battleships.
When this information appeared in the shared network,
Wang Haoyu clearly noticed many Angel Warriors suddenly relaxing.
This feeling was like:
originally thinking they were going to challenge a powerful enemy far exceeding their own strength,
but then realizing the opponent was utterly vulnerable.
"Is that all?"
After quickly reviewing the data, the Angel Commander raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Wang Haoyu with a hint of doubt.
"That's right, this is our operational target this time."
Facing the inquiry, Wang Haoyu simply shrugged casually.
"These are your opponents.
Do you have any other questions?"
"Understood! Please rest assured, these enemies will be completely annihilated by us!"
After confirming the intelligence was accurate, the Angel Commander solemnly promised Wang Haoyu.
One hundred Angel Warriors,
meant one hundred fighting forces capable of destroying planets.
Facing merely a few thousand Kree Space Battleships,
there was absolutely nothing to fear.
In their original Universe,
even stronger Space Battleships were commonplace.
Even overwhelming fleets,
were nothing new to these Angel Warriors.
A mere few Space Battleships,
were simply vulnerable!
"Report, the enemy has entered our range, but still hasn't detected our presence!"
After locking onto the target, all Angel Warriors immediately activated their void engines,
firmly locking onto the attack target.
This Angel Legion clearly knew that they were the only Angel Faction present in this star field.
Therefore, many Angel Soldiers were vigilantly observing the surroundings.
"Wait a little longer..."
Utilizing the void engine's detection, Wang Haoyu confirmed that the enemy had entered the attack range.
But he was not eager to strike—
he planned to lure the enemy Space Battleships closer.
Although the Angel Warriors were powerful,
directly confronting the firepower of Space Battleships would still result in significant damage.
Wang Haoyu, who considered himself a gentleman, believed that
he should be considerate toward these Angel Warriors.
"Lord of Angels, do we need to annihilate the entire enemy force?"
The Angel Legion Commander suddenly requested instructions from Wang Haoyu,
her tone revealing absolute control—
as if victory or defeat depended solely on Wang Haoyu's decision.
"Total annihilation? Unnecessary. Letting a few Space Battleships escape intentionally is more valuable."
Wang Haoyu quickly made his judgment.
The Kree Empire, being a notorious pirate faction,
could be used to spread the news of this devastating defeat.
Even if the enemy chose to conceal the facts,
given the Kreegen's vindictive nature,
they would inevitably send more fleets for revenge.
They could then be annihilated in batches, gradually weakening the enemy—
this was clearly Wang Haoyu's carefully designed 'fishing' tactic!
"As you command!"
The Angel Legion Commander nodded knowingly,
and immediately relayed the latest instructions to her warriors.
Although they had grasped the weaknesses of the enemy Space Battleships,
it would be too ironic if they lost due to underestimating the enemy.
"Attack!"
When the Kreegen fleet swaggered into the Ambush Zone,
following Wang Haoyu's roar,
hundreds of Angels suddenly transformed into streaks of deadly light!
Under the cover of the Shattered Star Belt's concealment,
this lightning assault gave the Kreegen no time to react.
Boom!
Accompanied by the explosion of the Angel Warriors wielding their Flame Holy Swords,
Dark Matter Energy was activated by the Flame Sword, instantly slicing two Kreegen destroyers in half!
Witnessing this scene, Wang Haoyu, who was originally preparing to charge, suddenly stopped.
The Angel Sisters of the Super God Universe were actually this powerful?
The leading Angel Sister had just destroyed an Enemy Ship when the rest of the Angels immediately followed. Flaming longswords were drawn!
Boom! Clang! Snap!
Utilizing the void engine and the shared positioning system, every Angel accurately locked onto their target.
81⑺376⑥6
In a short moment, the Kreegen fleet lost two to three hundred Space Battleships, all of which were the units closest to the Angel Legion.
Only then did the Kreegen fleet wake up as if from a dream.
"Enemy attack!"
"We are being ambushed!"
Panicked shouts echoed through the fleet. Many soldiers who hadn't managed to put on their Space Gear were instantly killed in the star sea—after all, not everyone can survive in a vacuum.
"What's going on? Where did the attack come from?"
Watching one-tenth of his fleet instantly vaporize, the seemingly composed Ronan finally lost his cool. These three thousand Space Battleships were his private armed force. He had set out this time under the guise of aiding the Aixia Civilization, but his real intention was to use this opportunity to gain influence over the Nine Realms and increase his standing within the Kree Empire.
Losing three hundred Space Battleships in the first battle was unacceptable to anyone!
"General, the individual combat strength of the enemy has reached Star-destroying Level..."
"Our Space Battleships can't hurt them at all!"
While Ronan was furious... his subordinate Generals frantically organized a counterattack.
To their great disappointment, however, all these attackers possessed the power to destroy planets.
Given the capabilities of the Kree and their Space Battleships, they could not launch an effective strike against them.
Bastards!
"How large is the enemy force?"
Hearing that those deployed were all powerhouses whose individual strength reached the Star-destroying Level, Ronan's brow furrowed instantly.
None of these beings were easy to deal with; they were all extremely troublesome!
"About one hundred!"
Gathering intelligence through the Kree Space Battleship data system, the Generals reported solemnly to Ronan.
"Send out all Special Attack Teams!"
As Ronan—one of the future successors of the Kree Empire—he naturally had powerhouses with Star-destroying Level combat strength under his command.
Under his iron fist, these individuals were all organized into Special Attack Teams.
"Yes, General!"
As soon as the order was given, nearly two hundred Special Operations队员 flew out from several Space Battleships near the Kree fleet Flagship.
"The enemy has committed seventy percent of their high-end combat strength."
"Thirty-five Star-destroying Level combatants, and one hundred seventy-two Quasi-Star-Destroying Level individuals!"
"First Squad will contain the Star-destroying Level targets, Second and Third Squads will hold back the Quasi-Star-Destroying Level targets, and the remaining Six Squads will annihilate the fleet as quickly as possible!"
Above the Meteor, the Angel Legion Commander quickly deployed the battlefield using the Data Virtualization Function.
Beside Wang Haoyu, in addition to the Commander, an Angel Squad was stationed.
"Received! First Squad is about to engage the Star-destroying Level targets!"
"Second and Third Squads have engaged the Quasi-Star-Destroying Level targets!"
"Fourth through Ninth Squads request Strategic authorization!"
Once the command was relayed, ninety Angel Warriors inside the Space Battleship immediately took action.
The strongest combat unit, First Squad, rushed directly toward the thirty-five Kree Special Operations队员. For the Angels, killing was not the primary goal; the key was to pull them away from the Main Battlefield.
(
As the Angels of First Squad brandished their Flame Swords, the thirty-five Kreegen Special Attack Team members who had reached Star-destroying Level strength fell into a difficult situation.
These Angels neither allowed the enemy to break out nor did they try to finish the fight quickly. If a single Kreegen member tried to escape, they would immediately be repulsed. If they acted collectively, it was difficult to break through the Angels' encirclement. This dilemma made the entire Special Attack Team extremely anxious.
Meanwhile, over a hundred Quasi-Star-Destroying Level Kreegen Special Operations队员 faced a more severe situation. They were completely surrounded by twenty Angels, and any member attempting to break out was mercilessly hunted down.
"Requesting authorization!" After the Angel Legion Commander sought instructions from Wang Haoyu, she issued combat orders to the Fourth through Ninth Squads. The approved Angels immediately dispersed, forming an encirclement around the Kreegen fleet.
Within each squad, some Angels used the Flame Sword to manipulate Dark Matter Energy, while the remaining members provided protection. Wang Haoyu, witnessing this sight, curiously asked: "Is this a Strategic-Level Attack?"
"Yes, Lord of Angels," the Commander replied, "This is a Level Four Strategic Attack."
Hearing this, Wang Haoyu was slightly stunned.
The Angel Legion was actually this strong in the Super God Universe?
"Understood, King of Angels!"
"Our combat system is divided into two tiers: Strategic and Tactical, with five levels in each tier. The Tactical tier is mainly used for planetary surface combat, while the Strategic tier is specifically designed for interstellar warfare."
The Angel Legion Commander nodded, explaining in detail to Wang Haoyu.
"Something is wrong!"
"Alert! Extremely high energy reaction detected!"
The Technician on Ronan's Flagship suddenly cried out in alarm.
"These lunatics!"
"Are they trying to annihilate all of us?"
Inside the two-thousand-meter-long Flagship, Ronan's face was ashen.
"General, immediate retreat is recommended."
At this moment, the energy gathering around the six Angels grew stronger and stronger. The surrounding enemy Space Battleships were firing frantically at them, but all attacks were intercepted by the Angels on the perimeter.
"Charging complete, requesting authorization to attack!"
"Charging complete, requesting authorization to attack!"
The Angels, who had been floating with their eyes closed, suddenly opened them, requesting permission to fight from the Commander via the Angel Communication Network.
"Authorization granted to attack!"
As all Combat Angels were ready, the Commander decisively issued the order.
"Execute attack command!"
"Activate Dark Matter Channel!"
"Release Primordial Fire!"
The Angels shouted in unison, and the Dark Matter Energy erupted from the Flaming Swords in their hands. Streaks of fire cut through space, blooming like fireworks in the star sea. The scorching flames instantly consumed nearly five hundred Kree Space Battleships.
Flames burned the sky, nothing could escape!
The power of this fire was far more than that.
In the vast starry space, the scorching currents swept out in all directions like a tide.
"This is what you call a Level Four Strategic Strike?"
Looking at the Ultimate Weapon of the Angel Civilization that instantly wiped out the entire Kreegenfleet.
Wang Haoyu looked at the Angel Legion Commander beside him, his face full of shock.
"That is correct, My King. This is indeed a Level Four Strategic Strike."
"And it's a weakened version!"
The Commander replied solemnly through her mask.
"Incredible... truly incredibly boundless..."
Wang Haoyu was speechless at this moment.
How spectacular was the massive fleet composed of three thousand Kreegen Space Battleships?
He couldn't estimate, but at this moment, the entire Star Shattering Passage, which could accommodate a hundred Space Battleships side by side, had turned into a purgatory of flames.
At least two thousand enemy Space Battleships were annihilated in this sea of fire.
And this was only the ** version of a Level Four Strike?
Wang Haoyu was completely dumbfounded.
This level of power was probably comparable to a single Star Destroyer Cannon, right?
Perhaps even more exaggerated?
Sure enough, his knowledge was limited... Wang Haoyu shook his head, laughing bitterly at himself.
Although he didn't know much about the Super God Universe, he was very clear that—
this World and the Marvel Universe were equally unfathomable.
Which one was stronger or weaker was not something he could assert.
Chapter 72 Chapter 72
"My King, an enemy ship has broken through the Fire of Genesis!"
The Angel Legion Commander suddenly reminded him in a low voice.
"It actually managed to escape from the Fire of Genesis?"
Wang Haoyu raised an eyebrow.
A small warship was seen fleeing frantically towards the depths of the Shattered Star Belt.
After a brief thought, he guessed the identity of the opponent—
The Commander of this fleet!
But who exactly was it?
Wait... it seems he forgot to use the void engine to infiltrate the enemy system and gather intelligence?
"Immediately clean up the battlefield!"
With the escape of that warship,
The remaining Kreegen fleet completely lost its will to fight.
============
Those Angel Warriors would not let the enemy escape right under their noses.
This situation was simply intolerable!
Under the relentless pursuit of the Angels, all enemy ships were forced to retreat to one location.
The number was quite considerable.
After the battle, the battlefield was tallied:
Nearly a hundred Quasi-Star-Destroying Level Kree Special Operations队员 and ten Star-destroying Level Kree Special Operations队员 chose to surrender.
Additionally, over four hundred Kree warships also surrendered.
The number of surviving Kree reached hundreds of thousands.
But for Wang Haoyu, none of this mattered.
"I want to see who led this attack!"
Watching the surrendered warships and Star-destroying Level combatants, Wang Haoyu's lips curled into a slight smile.
With the power of the void engine, even with the Kree's numerous data encryptions, infiltration was unstoppable.
What?
The Kree Empire's royal heir?
And a General... Ronan?
What an unexpected discovery!
After recognizing these key pieces of information, Wang Haoyu was momentarily stunned.
The one who just escaped was actually Ronan the Accuser, the most infamous tyrant among the Kree!
Information about Ronan was something Wang Haoyu had seen in the data provided by the previous Supreme Odin.
It was said that in this Universe, Ronan was one of the individuals with the greatest potential to become a tyrant.
He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, a true overlord.
However, since he had become an opponent, Wang Haoyu would make him a dead bear!
"I miscalculated! If I had known it was Ronan, I would never have let him escape!"
Thinking of the missed opportunity, Wang Haoyu felt deep regret.
The bounty on Ronan in the interstellar was quite substantial.
Like Odin, there was also a bounty, but no one dared to take the order.
If he could capture Ronan, the bounty would be secondary—
The most important thing was to gain the goodwill of most forces in the entire Universe.
This would be equivalent to eliminating a major scourge for the Marvel Universe.
However, Wang Haoyu actually held an indifferent attitude towards Ronan.
It would be best if he could catch him.
If not... then so be it.
"Black out the data center! Immediately lock down their shipborne weapon systems!"
With the void engine, Wang Haoyu shuttled through the network space of the Kreegen warships.
He quickly tampered with the systems of these warships, and before long, the weapon systems of over four hundred Kreegen warships were all locked down.
Unless the Kreegen directly dismantled the ship's cannons, they would not be able to fire again—of course, they would never do that!
Wang Haoyu also guided the void engines of several Angel comrades to access the warship network, using the shipborne monitoring system to control the movements of these Kreegen warships in real-time.
For Wang Haoyu, why would he ever discard spoils of war he had acquired?
Destroying them all would be too much of a waste!
Even if he couldn't use them himself, wouldn't it be better to exchange them for needed supplies?
Waste was the greatest crime!
Adhering to the principle of frugality, Wang Haoyu directly packed up all four hundred-plus Kreegenwarships, along with hundreds of Quasi-Star-Destroying Level and Star-destroying Level Special Operations队员.
He glanced back at the Kreegen Special Operations队员 being escorted by the Angel Legion and suddenly realized that the Yuri faction's abilities might come in handy—
He just wasn't sure if he could change their loyalty targets.
However, in the Super God Universe, this technology should be feasible, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Haoyu directly asked the Angel Legion Commander next to him. After all, he was not yet familiar enough with the Angel Civilization's power system.
"Change the allegiance of these people?"
The Angel Legion Commander pondered for a moment in the internal communication network: "If my King wishes to implement this, it would either require using the Angel Civilization's knowledge vault. With the power of the vault, let alone modifying individual loyalty, even reorienting the faith of an entire civilization can be achieved."
"It's just..." she added hesitantly, "This would consume a large amount of dark matter energy."
The dark matter reserves of this Angel Legion were currently limited. With the low efficiency of dark matter resupply, the Legion Commander was truly unwilling to waste resources on these prisoners.
"So that's how it is." Wang Haoyu nodded knowingly.
Wang Haoyu had researched the dark matter energy of the Super God Universe, speculating that it might originate from the energy of the Dark Dimension. However, this made him feel tricky.
Currently, Wang Haoyu dared not venture into the Dark Dimension, as he was already being targeted by Dormammu. Rashly going there to extract energy would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
If Kaisha, Hexi, and others were by his side, the situation might be different. But Wang Haoyu knew that he was still far from summoning them. Once they could be summoned, Wang Haoyu would have the confidence to go all out in the Marvel Universe.
As top powerhouses in the Super God World, it was not impossible for Kaisha to clash with Odin and others. Wang Haoyu firmly believed this.
As this thought deepened, Wang Haoyu's desire to summon Hexi and Kaisha grew stronger. But he knew the time was not yet ripe and he still needed to accumulate enough luck.
Amidst his thoughts, the Angel Legion escorted the prisoner fleet back to the Spaceport. Wang Haoyuconfined the Kree and warship prisoners separately in modified transport ships, while the Star-destroying Level enemies were personally guarded by the Angels—after all, there was currently a lack of high-end combat power.
Upon returning to the Spaceport by the Star Shattering Passage, Wang Haoyu dispatched the last small fleet to clear the warship wreckage within the passage. This passage, as an important route between the Nine Realms and the outside World, saw countless ships coming and going.

[
A moment's pause
In this situation, how could Wang Haoyu miss the opportunity to collect tolls?
Time flew by!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed!
General Ling Liang, stationed near the Esia Homeworld, fully utilized her strategic talent.
She annihilated the Aixia Royal Fleet at minimal cost.
Countless enemy troops were captured. Coupled with the First Main Fleet's fierce bombardment of the Esia Homeworld!
The isolated Aixia Civilization could not wait for the Kree Empire's reinforcements.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to submit a letter of surrender to the Umbrella forces.
This surrender was not only a victory for Umbrella but also a shared achievement of the allied forces!
"We won!"
As Tony's feet touched the Aixia Royal Capital, he smiled solemnly at his Avengers companions.
"Yes, we won!"
"So tired, I really want to get some good sleep."
"I didn't expect we could actually win this expedition."
"Isn't that obvious? You all know Umbrella's military strength."
"You're right, we just rode on their coattails."
The Battle of Aixia allowed these Avengers to grow considerably.
Listening to their companions' exclamations, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Even the battle-hardened Steve and Natasha appeared utterly weary.
"You guys, how many points do you think this surrender letter will give us?"
Su, holding the surrender letter, asked doubtfully.
Looking at the document in his hand, everyone's expressions were complex.
Su had actually claimed the top credit for the final battle.
It was truly dissatisfying!
With Umbrella's technology, Su obtained battle armor that could turn invisible along with his body.
There was no need for him to strip to turn invisible, as Wang Haoyu had guessed.
This battle suit allowed him to enter stealth mode at any time.
"It should add quite a few points, right?"
Dr. Banner pushed up his glasses and answered with a smile.
Su was undoubtedly the biggest winner of this battle.
While Thor was fiercely battling Aixia's Star-destroying Level powerhouse... Su teleported next to Aixia's leader and, as an Umbrella envoy, ordered the opponent to sign the surrender agreement.
"I'm truly unwilling!"
Natasha and Wanda stared at the surrender letter held aloft in Su's hand, their faces grim. But the defeat was already decided, and any more resentment could only be swallowed.
"Time to return."
Tony stretched his joints, calling everyone to prepare for departure. After all, they had been away from Earth for a long time; it was time to go home.
In the dingyuan warship's conference room, the generals' expressions were complex upon hearing the news of the battle's conclusion. A general's value lay on the battlefield; the cessation of hostilities left them with a sense of loss. Everyone immediately plunged into writing post-battle reports, racing against time to submit their experiences and achievements to their respective countries.
"Allocate thirty percent of the First Fleet's forces to assist the exploration fleet in garrisoning Aixia."
Ling Liang issued instructions to the staff. Although the opponent had surrendered, it was still far from Wang Haoyu's civilization enslavement—the fleet must remain to suppress potential rebellions.
"Understood, Commander!"
The staff quickly grasped the intention, and five temporary staff members exchanged emotional glances. The biggest winner of this battle was truly the allied forces: Wang Haoyu gained four colony Planets and an integrated army, while the allied forces acquired the core tactical system of interstellar warfare. These invaluable experiences were now quietly settling on Red Alert Planet.
(
A bald man stood on a hovering scooter, his body tightly clad in a brown leather suit, and the mind amplifier on his earlobe glowed with a faint blue light. His calculating eyes narrowed slightly, and a subtle smile played on his lips.
"A pleasure to meet you, Commander." Yuri bowed, his voice like honeyed, "It is an honor to serve you."
If an ordinary person were to meet his gaze at this moment, perhaps that look alone would be enough to turn them into a fanatical follower. But Wang Haoyu, standing before him, revealed an even more triumphant smile: "The time has come for you to show your great skill."
As Yuri appeared, a sharp glint flashed in Wang Haoyu's eyes. Even without the Angel knowledge vault's assistance, as long as this mind master made a move—those so-called Star-destroying Levelpowerhouses would eventually become his sharpest blades.
"Gladly at your service." Yuri stepped off the hovercraft, his metal boot soles clanking on the ground.
Wang Haoyu raised his hand and tore open a dimensional rift, and the two instantly appeared at the Spaceport beside the Star Shattering Passage. Outside the viewport, the rainbow light formed by shattered stars cascaded like a waterfall.
"Star-destroying Level targets..." Yuri stroked his mind amplifier, a rare hesitation showing, "I need to confirm with my own eyes."
"Follow me!" Wang Haoyu's cloak flapped in the ion storm.
Yuri seemed to not quite understand this Planet-destroying level of power.
Without another word, Wang Haoyu directly brought him to the place where the Quasi-Star-Destroying Level prisoners were held.
Around this area, dozens of Angel Warriors monitored these prisoners closely, 24/7.
And these prisoners were unusually well-behaved—after all, they were well aware of the Angels' strength.
More importantly, the surrounding deployed fleet had already scared them out of their wits.
Although individual combat power, to a certain extent, could contend with warships, if facing fleet-level power, unless composed of super-individuals forming a legion, they would basically be hard-pressed to escape annihilation.
Of course, top powerhouses could indeed inflict significant damage on a fleet—but the question was, how much opportunity and talent were needed to reach that level of strength?
Chapter 73 Chapter 73
In contrast, as long as a fleet has a stable government and resources, it can be continuously produced. This is the advantage of military power.
Although individual strength is powerful, military power possesses the characteristic of being mass-producible.
Otherwise, why would a ruthless character like Thanos need to assemble a massive fleet when he wanted to enforce population control across the entire Universe? Wasn't he strong enough?
His strength is absolutely terrifying—it is said to be close to the Quasi-Father-level. Wang Haoyu broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Only if Hexi or Kaisha personally stepped forward could they possibly suppress Thanos.
Moreover, Wang Haoyu was certain that Kaisha and Hexi were at least Father-level, and even the mad Morgana was at least at the peak of Quasi-Father-level strength.
"These people..." Yuri felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead as he faced the Quasi-Star-Destroying Level prisoners guarded by the Angels.
Commander, is your World that terrifying?
You actually captured over a hundred Quasi-Star-Destroying Level combatants!
In the Red Alert Civilization, any one of these people could be pulled out and become a Superhero... "That's right, it's them." Wang Haoyu glanced at the cold sweat on Yuri's forehead. "Interested in giving it a try?"
Wang Haoyu sighed inwardly.
Yuri was indeed hesitant about facing the power of these Quasi-Star-Destroying Level individuals.
But if this is already so difficult, how should they deal with true Star-destroying Level power?
Should he really let the Angels serve as jailers to guard these prisoners? That would be an enormous waste of resources!
"I can try, but I can't guarantee success. After all, these guys possess at least the strength of Superheroes."
"And Superheroes can usually resist psychic attacks. I'm not sure if it will be effective against them," Yuri explained to Wang Haoyu.
Although it was tricky, it wasn't entirely impossible.
"Alright, then give it a try. If it works, convert all of them into our people."
"If you have any needs, find General Ling Liang. If she can't solve it, come directly to me."
After careful consideration, Wang Haoyu agreed to Yuri's proposal.
Wang Haoyu could not easily abandon this existing combat power; he had to find a way to make them useful.
Wang Haoyu began contemplating another question: Since Yuri could use psychic attacks, could the Mind Stone brought by Loki also be effective?
But the power on that staff seemed to be only temporary, supplementary energy... This thought led Wang Haoyu to shift his focus to the research of the Mind Stone.
After integrating the Aether Particle into the void engine and mastering the Space Stone, Wang Haoyuspent a lot of time researching the Mind Stone.
He ultimately found that it was not a true divine artifact, but merely carried a portion of the Mind Stone's power, which would gradually deplete.
"Understood!"
Yuri accepted the command and immediately made a request to the Angel beside him:
"Please help me extract the weakest Quasi-Star-Destroying Level captive."
After receiving Wang Haoyu's approval, the Angel extracted a captive and handed him over to Yuri.
Yuri took the captive into the adjacent room and began his experiment.
Yuri's safety required special attention; he absolutely could not suffer any mishaps. His experimental needs had to be met as much as possible. Watching Yuri excitedly immerse himself in research, Wang Haoyu pondered briefly before issuing instructions to the Angels beside him.
"Yes, Lord of Angels!" The loyal Angels immediately responded. To them, Wang Haoyu's command was the highest decree.
After giving his instructions, Wang Haoyu left the Spaceport. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never make the resource-wasting decision of having Angels guard these Star-destroying Levelcombatants. Although he had the assistance of the Demon Vengeance Goddess, supervising the powerful individuals from the Kree, the Aixia Civilization, and some Colonies was still not easy. These nearly three hundred powerful individuals were all concentrated and imprisoned here, with the battleships' guns constantly aimed at them.
"What should I do next?" Returning to the Red Alert Planet, Wang Haoyu quickly organized his thoughts: "I must have the Warship Design Institute quickly modify existing battleships and design blueprints for a batch of small warships."
Assembling a small fleet became the top priority, requiring them to be organized into Patrol Fleets and Colonial Fleets. Due to insufficient military strength, the First Main Fleet and the First Exploration Fleetwere still carrying out deterrence missions in the Aixia Civilization.
"Furthermore, we must accelerate the technological development of the Yuri Base Vehicle." Thinking of the five Planets, including Aecia, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but get a headache. These Planets had a total population of nearly ten billion, while Umbrella only had a population of ten million, even counting Academy City and Magic City.
"We must fully increase the intensity of mineral extraction!" Realizing the absurd ratio of ten million people managing ten billion, Wang Haoyu immediately halted all production tasks in the Red Alert Space.
Wang Haoyu began concentrating all efforts on producing chrono miners and other mining equipment.
Mining tasks suitable for operation within the atmosphere were entrusted to Yuri's mining vehicles. Meanwhile, resource-rich Planets without atmospheres were entirely mined by the Transformers' mining legions.
Thinking of these plans, Wang Haoyu immediately ordered Zhang Ya and Zhang Yu to dedicate all efforts to manufacturing chrono miners. Although he currently had nearly ten thousand mining vehicles, he still felt it was far from enough.
At this moment, the adjutant reported: "Commander, the generals of the Blue Star Joint Expeditionary Force wish to see you."
General Ling Liang, stationed in the direction of the Aixia Civilization, also received a request from the Joint Expeditionary Force—their mission to participate in the war was nearing completion, with only minor cleanup remaining. As the war concluded, these Joint Expeditionary Force units were gradually being taken over by the legions continuously dispatched by the Red Alert Planet.
The military strength of the Umbrella Army is mainly divided into several parts:
1. The Main Fleet capable of space travel
2. The marines within the fleet
In addition, there are also massive conventional ground forces within the Umbrella Army.
Not all soldiers trained in the Red Alert Barracks are suitable for space combat. Some are limited by physical conditions, and like those who are inherently seasick but want to be in the navy, they ultimately can only become ground forces.
Therefore, Wang Haoyu maintained a reserve of approximately one million ground troops in the Umbrella World.
On the five Colonial Planets occupied, General Ling Liang established Chrono Transfer Devices on each Planet. Troops were being teleported over, unit after unit, from the Umbrella World.
Every Planet that was once colonized by the Aexian people is now garrisoned by an army group of 100,000 soldiers. Simultaneously, a batch of battleships captured from the Aixia Civilization and the Kreeg people are deployed in orbit around the Planets for space defense.
Military Briefing
The scale of the remaining enemy fleet is limited, with only dozens of vessels left.
The four Planets previously colonized by the Aexian people have been brought under our control.
Among them, the Aecia Main Planet is densely populated, with a total population exceeding three billion.
General Ling Liang deployed nearly 500,000 ground troops and a hundred light vessels in that star sector.
Although the resistance on the Aecia Main Planet was the most intense, the domestication plan spearheaded by Wang Haoyu has achieved phased progress.
Through military deterrence, cultural infiltration, and cognitive intervention, the Umbrella Army is gradually clearing out resistance forces.
** Action frequency is significantly higher than appeasement speeches.
"Those people are looking for me? Understood."
Wang Haoyu frowned slightly, only then remembering that the Joint Forces were still stranded on Warship 657.
If General Ling Liang hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about these personnel.
As the resources under his control grew increasingly vast, Wang Haoyu had to personally handle more affairs.
He temporarily set aside other plans and opened the transfer channel to the Void Dimension.
In the conference room, five temporary staff officers and the representatives of the Joint Expeditionary Force were already seated.
"How have your endeavors progressed?"
Wang Haoyu showed a look of approval. This Joint Expeditionary Force did not drag down the war effort; instead, they paid a significant sacrifice—
Of the original 30,000 Punitive Force troops, only slightly more than 20,000 remained after the war.
Such a casualty rate is rare in modern warfare, especially for elite units.
The main casualties were concentrated during the airborne phase, resulting in structural losses due to repeated encounters with anti-air firepower.
"This campaign yielded considerable gains."
General Xu spoke as the representative: "We are preparing to bid you farewell. A long-term stay here may be inconvenient."
"I heard you accumulated quite a few military merits," Wang Haoyu inquired, "Do you have any requirements for exchange?"
(
Wang Haoyu casually pulled up a chair and sat down.
Facing the generals before him, his expression was calm and unpressured.
"About that..." General Xu hesitated slightly, pondering for a moment before speaking:
"Regarding the exchange matters, we certainly have intentions, but the decision-making power rests with the higher ups. Could the military merit exchange be handled after we return to Blue Star?"
"It doesn't matter." Wang Haoyu shrugged. "Once you've decided, just find Wang Yuyan. You should be familiar with her."
He knew perfectly well—these people were both coveting Umbrella's Technology and vying for Academy slots. Their intentions couldn't be hidden from him.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Wang!" General Xu's smile broadened.
This was the best possible outcome.
"Oh, right," Wang Haoyu suddenly added, "As the top scorer on the Joint Forces merit board, I will grant you an extra captured Aixia Warship. You may select the specific model yourselves."
He casually shrugged his shoulder.
The Aixia Warships, which had been disassembled and researched by the red alert Engineers, were now considered obsolete Technology. In the eyes of those genius Engineers, basic work like reverse engineering was practically an insult to their intelligence.
"This..." The generals' breathing suddenly grew heavy, their gazes fixed intently on General Xu—after all, the bulk of the military merits belonged to the few major powers.
Considering the neat layout, I have organized the following text for you (original segmentation and punctuation, only optimizing content expression):
The situation was clear; the opposing party's advantage in quotas was obvious.
The Joint Expeditionary Force sent their most elite troops.
Among them, the troops commanded by General Xu were the most valiant and skilled in combat.
Truly worthy of being the orthodox leader of Blue Star!
Of course, the Umbrella Forces were a different matter entirely.
Everyone had long experienced the terrifying combat power of Umbrella.
Trying to compare with them? That would be seeking death!
"We are truly grateful, Mr. Wang!"
Seeing how straightforward Wang Haoyu was, General Xu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
This clearly meant he was viewing them as close allies!
Using the privilege of topping the military merit board, he directly offered the grand gift of a battleship.
Although, overall, this battleship would most likely be used for Technology research.
But at least the possibility of stepping out of Blue Star had greatly increased.
Just watch, we disdain being confined to this tiny piece of land.
Under the guidance of Wang, our journey is the vast sea of stars!
"We choose the Colonial-class Destroyer of the Aixia Civilization!"
"We will trouble Mr. Wang to select the specific model."
General Xu said this while rubbing his hands somewhat bashfully.
"Oh? Only Colonial-class? Are you sure?"
Wang Haoyu looked at the other party meaningfully.
It should be known that battleships also have distinctions between superior and inferior quality.
Among the Aixia Fleet, the Royal Fleet was the most elite.
Next were the Main Battleships guarding the Stargate.
The Colonial-class belonged to the most basic combat units.
However, precisely because the technical threshold was low enough, it was the most suitable for imitation.
Even if General Xu had asked for a Royal Battleship, Wang Haoyu would have generously gifted it.
It was just that the reverse engineering process would require a long time.
Today, this usually shrewd "Rabbit" had unexpectedly become practical.
Below is
——————
"I am certain!"
Facing Wang Haoyu's inquiry, General Xu nodded gravely in response.
Chapter 74 Chapter 74
This General had his own considerations. Although the Royal Fleet's battleship was indeed tempting, General Xu always clearly understood that the Joint Expeditionary Force's ability to participate in alien operations relied entirely on Wang Haoyu.
Even if they exchanged the first-place reward for the battleship, what then? The subsequent problems were truly thorny—how long would it take the nation to digest this technology? How many years would it take to go from reverse engineering to independent manufacturing? Such a long wait was unacceptable to General Xu.
He decisively chose to exchange for the more practical Colony-Class Destroyer. This type of vessel was easy to quickly replicate and mass-produce. As long as they kept pace with the Umbrella Army, acquiring more advanced Warships and technology in the future would naturally follow. If they couldn't even leave Earth, how could they talk about accumulating military merits?
More importantly, General Xu understood the way of the world: excessive greed would only cause the Umbrella Army to abandon partners who didn't follow the rules.
"Since it is General Xu's request, I can fulfill it immediately." Wang Haoyu shrugged easily and agreed. Working with partners who knew when to advance and retreat was truly hassle-free—they understood their position and contentedly played a supporting role.
The other generals cast envious glances, and a few seemed slightly puzzled by the decision to forgo the battleship. But these seasoned veterans quickly grasped General Xu's profound meaning: rather than slowly reverse-engineering in a lab, it was better to first ensure they could follow Wang Haoyu's strategic deployment to campaign across the Universe. Everyone fell silent in unison.
"Regarding the previously discussed matters concerning the Joint Expeditionary Force, I have decided to first establish an army of 100,000 to 200,000 troops."
"The Army Command Center will be established by yourselves; Umbrella will not interfere with internal affairs."
"As long as you cooperate with the operational deployment, no mandatory requirements will be placed on other matters."
"During mission intervals, autonomous Universe exploration activities are permitted, but wartime operations must follow unified command."
"Additionally, a paid rental service is offered: 10 Aixia Civilization Colony-Class Warships, which can be leased using military merits or supplies."
"Umbrella will only station a few liaison officers at the Command Center, responsible for conveying necessary operational orders."
Wang Haoyu elaborated on the structure of the Joint Expeditionary Force, allowing nations to form space forces of 100,000 to 200,000 troops, but they must accept Umbrella's strategic deployment. During non-combat periods, this army could freely conduct interstellar exploration or resource extraction; however, they must obey command when coordinated combat is required.
This arrangement essentially integrated the space forces of various nations into a unified combat system. By offering advanced Warship rental services, it satisfied the space development needs of all parties while ensuring Umbrella's strategic dominance.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. We will immediately report back to our nations. We look forward to your continued support in the future," the representatives of the various nations responded.
Upon hearing that Wang Haoyu could organize this Joint Expeditionary Force into a formal army, everyone present was overjoyed, each person excitedly gesticulating.
"Alright, that's all for now. I'm leaving!" Wang Haoyu waved his hand and walked out of the conference room without looking back. He still had mountains of work to deal with.
After leaving the Joint Force conference room, Wang Haoyu headed straight for the Avengers' exclusive council hall. When he pushed the door open, he found the members had been waiting for a long time, chatting happily in small groups.
"Alright, what brilliant ideas do you all have?" Wang Haoyu scanned his leisurely chatting colleagues, his temples throbbing—he was busy non-stop, yet this group was quite relaxed.
"Hey!" Tony sprang up from the sofa, his eyes glinting mischievously, "How are you planning to handle the champion's reward?" He pointedly glanced toward the corner—Wanda and Natasha wore expressions of utter despair, while Su Rui was quietly sipping coffee, behaving as meekly as a quail.
Wang Haoyu's face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot: "I heard you were quite 'active' on Muteng Star? Having 'in-depth exchanges' with the local girls?" He suddenly grinned, "If I send the surveillance video to Pepper..."
"Wait!" Tony instantly panicked, "That was academic research! I just asked a few questions!" He was so angry his hair nearly stood on end, but he saw Wang Haoyu had already settled comfortably into the main seat.
Tony was full of curiosity about these beast-eared girls.
Taking a beast-eared girl to a hotel... "A hotel? Not coming back all night?"
Wang Haoyu stared calmly at Tony, saying nothing more.
Tony immediately realized he was being monitored.
This feeling was truly annoying!
He secretly decided that when he got back, he must ask Jarvis if he was being monitored.
"Are you thinking of going back and asking Jarvis?"
Wang Haoyu saw through Tony's thoughts instantly and shrugged indifferently.
"Don't bother asking. It would be one thing if you did something else, but why did you have to go to a hotel?"
"Every place on Muteng Star that can be hacked has long been under my control. Otherwise, how would I manage this place?"
Leaning back on the sofa, Wang Haoyu glanced at Tony.
Tony suddenly realized—he had walked right into the muzzle of the gun!
"Wang Haoyu, how will the first-place reward be handled?"
Wanda couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.
Although she wore an expression of utter despair, she still cared about the reward.
"The rewards will be distributed as promised."
"As for the first place, let Su ask for it herself."
Wang Haoyu gave a helpless bitter smile.
He had to own up to his own words.
Now, there was no escaping it.
His scalp tingled, and he could only face the situation honestly.
After all, they had agreed that the first-place winner could choose the reward freely.
Moreover, Wanda, Su, and perhaps even Natasha, all seemed to want to "sing a duet" with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Haoyu felt confused.
His face wasn't outstanding by Western aesthetics, so why was he so popular?
It was truly baffling!
"Are you sure I can ask for anything?"
Su stared intently at Wang Haoyu, a peculiar light flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Wanda's heart sank suddenly: Oh no, this girl couldn't possibly want to genuinely "sing a duet" with Wang Haoyu, could she? They all knew that such an excellent man was still single and had never even dated—it was simply lethal.
Natasha narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze like a lioness surveying her territory.
Su completely ignored the looks from the two women, secretly thinking: Watch my performance, you two, and wait to eat my dust! This wasn't three women in a play; it was clearly a smoke-filled battlefield.
Tony, Stephen, and the others quietly retreated, leaving the battlefield to Wang Haoyu and these three thorny roses. Quicksilver and Thunderbolt hid directly behind the bar—as relatives of two of the women, they knew exactly what was about to happen.
"You bunch of disloyal bastards!" Wang Haoyu glared at his retreating companions, his face dark, wishing he could throw them onto a battlefield for three hundred rounds of training.
"Don't worry about them," Wanda smiled and came to Wang Haoyu's right side, placing a slender hand lightly on his shoulder, "Let's hear what Su has to say?"
"That's right, the champion's reward is what matters now." Natasha also smiled brightly and took the position on the left. Among the three, she was the least confident, yet this very suppression caused her to erupt the most fiercely.
"Could you listen to my request first?" Su slowly walked around behind Wang Haoyu, gently stroking his cheek with both hands.
Even Wang Haoyu, a veteran of countless battles, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat under this three-pronged attack. This situation—things were looking bad!
Wang Haoyu's Adam's apple bobbed. He spoke softly to Su behind him, his voice trembling: "You state your condition first... If I can do it... I will definitely do it!"
"It's a very simple little request~"
Su's breath brushed his nape like a feather, "The Master of the Umbrella Army... surely he can manage it?"
This warm breath made Wang Haoyu's back tense up; the ominous feeling grew stronger.
"Tell me the details." He stiffly turned his neck. "Even if it requires mobilizing the full strength of Umbrella... I will certainly accomplish it. A man keeps his word."
At this moment, he deeply regretted his previous promise—dealing with the pressure from the three ladies was more suffocating than facing the Kree Fleet directly.
"Don't worry~" Su's voice was like honey, "How could I bear to make you exert yourself..."
Her fingertip traced the line of Wang Haoyu's shoulder, "After all... you are the man I chose."
Sudden sharp pain came from both sides—Wanda and Natasha simultaneously applied subtle pressure points to Wang Haoyu's arms, making his eye twitch, yet he dared not utter a sound.
"Pfft!"
Tony's stifled laughter suddenly burst out near the door, followed immediately by all the watching Avengers whose shoulders began to shake.
At this moment, Wang Haoyu only wanted to stuff these gloating bastards into the Quantum Realm.
"I'm very weak..." Su suddenly pressed against his back, "How about... giving me special training in private?"
(
Hearing Su's words, Natasha and Wanda, standing beside Wang Haoyu, simultaneously clenched their fists.
The stinging sensation caused by feminine jealousy shot across Wang Haoyu's nape like an electric current.
This is bad!
Boom!
The flagship dingyuan warship suddenly shook violently, as an enamel giant cannons shell whistled past the conference room window.
The floating meteorites outside the window were instantly shattered by the artillery fire.
Warning.
This was a blatant threat!
"Please remain calm. This shelling is part of the dingyuan warship's routine weapon system testing."
"Please remain calm. This shelling is part of the dingyuan warship's routine weapon system testing."
The voice of Warship on the broadcast carried a subtle tone, seemingly intending to respond to the commotion on the ship, and also acting as a silent declaration to the three women.
The tone was exactly like someone had overturned a jar of vinegar.
Hearing this, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but grimace.
The scene looked exactly like being caught cheating.
And regarding this declaration from Warship—
Whether it was Su, Wanda, or Natasha, they all sneered inwardly in unison.
Heh.
Another rival had appeared.
In their eyes, Ship Girls were definitely not War Machines or intelligent programs,
but were regarded as a brand new intelligent species.
After all, who could ignore these special beings who possessed both human emotions
and extraordinary combat power?
"So annoying! This is truly annoying! So annoying!"
Su complained softly from behind Wang Haoyu.
As long as they were on the dingyuan warship,
trying to be alone with Wang Haoyu was practically impossible.
"Looks like the fuss is over?"
"Probably?"
"That was close!"
Quicksilver and Johnny exchanged glances from behind the bar,
both reading the relief of having survived a disaster.
"Everyone settle down!"
Taking advantage of the lull created by Warship's deterrent shelling,
Wang Haoyu finally broke free from the encirclement of the three women.
"What should be given will be given. As for Su—"
He turned and smiled at the coquettish girl,
"Later, I'll use the ability crystal to see if I can enhance your invisibility ability."
"Fine..."
Su pouted and replied reluctantly.
Okay, I understand. I will follow
Thinking about a duet when Warship is around? Be careful of the Warship suddenly shaking or outside artillery fire interrupting you.
Failing that, an emergency alarm might suddenly sound. In short, there are various ways to obstruct Su's duet plan, and Warship certainly won't be absent from these disruptive activities.
"As for you three who came in last place, the punishment mission is very simple!"
"After returning to Blue Star, you must closely monitor the situation there. While I am away, I don't want anything strange happening on Blue Star."
Wang Haoyu said this while scanning the rest of the Avengers.
"Leaving Blue Star?"
Everyone immediately understood the implication and looked up at Wang Haoyu.
"More or less."
