Ch: 100-105
Chapter 100 Chapter 100
"Inside the White Hole is the artillery fire we launched earlier!"
"That bastard!"
"Kill him!"
Witnessing three to four hundred Warships in the vanguard instantly turn into fragments, the thousand-plus fleet behind immediately retreated.
Or rather, everyone held their breath, intently watching the small spacecraft leisurely advancing.
That ability to turn a Black Hole into a White Hole nearly made these guys' hearts jump out of their throats!
"Report to Ronan immediately!"
"This kind of opponent is simply not someone we can deal with!"
"Ronan must send out Superpowered Warriors!"
"Otherwise, going up is just suicide!"
There were many astute individuals among the Raiders.
For example, Star-Lord's adoptive father—the Fin-Marked Raider.
This guy was quite clear-headed.
They absolutely could not clash head-on with Wang Haoyu!
They were simply not qualified!
Their opponents should be Xandar's fleet and space fighters. As for anything else? They begged to be excused!
"Agreed. This freak can only be handled by Ronan." Several leaders of the Temporary Alliance quickly approved Star-Lord's adoptive father's suggestion.
After all, this person was someone Ronan had personally invited.
Although no one understood why Ronan would specifically recruit such a person, surely they possessed extraordinary qualities? Perhaps some special talent?
"What? Someone single-handedly blocked the entire Raiders fleet?"
When Ronan, who was preparing to reap the benefits from the rear, received the news, the expression beneath his mask instantly became spectacular.
What the hell is going on? What you're saying makes me suspect you're messing with me!
But once the casualty report was presented, this Accuser Leader also had to take it seriously.
After all, facing this situation, even the most arrogant person had to measure their strength.
The situation became clear. There were clearly other individuals possessing Extraordinary Power on Shankanda Planet.
While thinking, Ronan couldn't help but recall his Superpowered Guard Corps that had been completely annihilated.
It was all the fault of Wang Haoyu, the Umbrella Controller from the Nine Realms!
If it weren't for him, how could my meticulously cultivated Superpowered Battle Team have been completely lost?
Whenever he recalled this matter, Ronan was consumed by rage.
But anger aside, Ronan cautiously dispatched one-third of the newly formed Superpowered Battle Team's forces.
The objective was simple—subdue or expel the blocker.
He absolutely could not let him interfere with his plan to seize the Infinity Stones!
"General, what if the opponent happens to be hiding an Infinity Stone?"
After the troops departed, the Adjutant suddenly raised this possibility.
Ronan instantly froze in place.
Damn it! If the opponent carried the Stone... if he also came for the Stone... why the hell would he let him go?!
"All forces attack!" Ronan's expression was grim; without any investigation, he immediately ordered the fleet to surround the target.
No matter who he was, surround him first. The Infinity Stones must belong to Ronan!
"Heh, is this an attempted robbery?" Looking at the small spacecraft surrounded by Superpowered Individuals,
Wang Haoyu raised an amused smile.
Quasi-Star-Destroying Level and Star-destroying Level combat power—where did Ronan recruit so many experts?
Even stranger, why did these Superpowered Individuals pledge allegiance to the Kree Empire?
One must know that even in the Umbrella World, top experts were few and far between.
Even Icarus, who had undergone modification using Angel Technology, could at most touch the threshold of the Father-level.
Strictly speaking, the current Icarus could not yet be considered quasi-Father-level.
This was already the result after Angel Technology modification!
Otherwise, her strength would forever stagnate at the Star-destroying Level.
Facing this team primarily composed of Quasi-Star-Destroying Level combat power, only two leaders had reached Star-destroying Level strength.
Wang Haoyu couldn't help but question: In this Vast Starry Sky, those who can travel freely are either special cosmic races or possess Quasi-Star-Destroying Level strength.
Otherwise, even the Laws of the Universe would reject you—if you can't even reach the Quasi-Star-Destroying Level, how can you dream of traversing the Universe? It's simply wishful thinking!
("I advise Your Excellency to hand over what does not belong to you." The leading Kree Star-Destroying Level Warrior looked down with cold eyes.
As for answering Wang Haoyu's question? They disdained to pay any attention.
In the eyes of this group of arrogant experts: So what if you can traverse the Universe? What is a mere Quasi-Star-Destroying Level? Even if you are Star-destroying Level, what can you do when surrounded?
"Interesting." Wang Haoyu curled his lip into a cold smile. "Want to reclaim things for your master? First, prove your capability!"
As he waved his hand, tearing open the starry sky, hundreds of mechanical soldiers suddenly poured out of the silver Spatial Rift.
Although these War Machines controlled by the Super Engine were individually only low-tier Quasi-Star-Destroying Level, when quantitative change triggered qualitative change...
"Charge! Kill him! Seize the treasure!"
Seeing those puppet-like mechanical soldiers, the leading Star-destroying Level Expert's face instantly darkened.
Now they could only fight head-on!
In the Marvel Universe, there was no shortage of precedents for manufacturing Quasi-Star-Destroying Level mechanical soldiers.
However, these types of mechanical soldiers, whether in Combat Consciousness or other aspects, were far inferior to experts who grew through individual Cultivation!
Not only was the resource consumption huge, but more critically, they were far less flexible and mobile than individual experts.
They were often kited by a single Quasi-Star-Destroying Level individual expert leading a few mechanical soldiers, or even hunted down one by one!
"Let's see what you've got!"
The Gigantic Mechanical Soldier that appeared last did not enter the battle but came behind Wang Haoyu and transformed into a magnificent Throne of the Starry Sky, standing tall in space.
Wang Haoyu sat leisurely upon this Throne of the Starry Sky, coldly observing the battlefield below.
"Annihilate them!"
Controlled by the Super Engine, these mechanical soldiers immediately acted. They formed small groups and once again began hunting Ronan's Elite Guard Corps.
If they could eliminate them once, they could kill them a second time now!
Facing this situation, Wang Haoyu showed no fear, adopting the posture of someone enjoying a good show.
Boom! Crackle! As the command was issued, the Super Engine in the Dark Matter Space immediately established a connection with the Angel knowledge vault.
For the Angel Civilization, the Three Great Treasures were: the Angel Terminal Database, the Super Engine, and the Angels themselves.
Now Wang Haoyu possessed all three; although far from the power of the entire Angel Civilization, it was enough to handle the current situation.
"Oh my god! What kind of terrifying power is this?"
"Why are these mechanical soldiers so ferocious?"
"What should we do now?"
"What can we do? Just watch the fight obediently; do you think you can win?"
In the battlefield where Xandar Planet and the Space Pirates were fighting, all factions tacitly chose to temporarily retreat.
Wang Haoyu's Mechanical Army clashed head-on with Ronan of the Kree Empire's Elite Guards.
At this moment, although Xandar Planet's Defense Fleet was completely confused, they quickly formed ranks, ready to support the battle at the front line at any time.
They were unaware of the high-level maneuvering, only knowing that Wang Haoyu was blocking the battlefield and confronting the enemy experts—he was an ally, and they must support him!
"What are you standing around for? Charge into Xandar!" Ronan's fleet sternly rebuked the Raiders and Space Pirates in the rear who were slow to attack.
Hearing the threat, this group of desperate individuals immediately retreated to the edge of the battlefield—Are you kidding? The guy over there can casually create Black Holes and White Holes; going up is just suicide!
As they cleared the path, Ronan's fleet finally saw the battle situation ahead clearly.
At this sight, Ronan nearly exploded with rage—Damn it! Why is Wang Haoyu here?
Could it be that this guy stole the Infinity Stone?!
Before he could recover, hundreds of Quasi-Star-Destroying Level mechanical soldiers had already annihilated all of the Elite Guards Ronan had sent out, sweeping them away like dry leaves.
—The combat data derived from the Angel knowledge vault allowed these Steel Warriors to display crushing combat power!
(Just based on this group of cannon fodder, they dare to challenge the Angel Civilization that has existed for billions of years?
The combat experience accumulated by the opponent is enough to crush all of you!
"We meet again, Ronan!"
"I warned you when I let you escape last time that next time I would surely take your life."
"I didn't expect you to deliver yourself right to my doorstep, and even bring a fleet."
"Truly, one searches high and low only to find it easily."
Looking at the hundreds of Warships before him, Wang Haoyu curved his lips into an arc of mockery.
To be honest, Ronan's ability to reorganize a fleet was quite surprising.
"It's you! Wang Haoyu, the Nine Realms Venerable!" Seeing the familiar face on the screen, Ronanunconsciously gritted his teeth.
To say he held no hatred toward Wang Haoyu? That would be pure fantasy.
Precisely because of this man, Ronan's prestige within the Kree Empire suffered greatly, and large numbers of followers left.
How could he swallow such humiliation!
"What? Did you come specifically to demand this?" Wang Haoyu, leaning casually on the throne, casually pulled the Power Stone out of The Void.
This Infinity Stone, containing the Origin of the Universe, was thus displayed defenselessly before everyone.
The so-called Infinity Stones are marvelous objects that existed since the dawn of the Marvel Universe.
They carry a portion of the World's Rule Power, and their might is incalculable.
"Hand over the Stone, and the matter of annihilating my fleet earlier can be written off!"
Staring at the Stone flipping between Wang Haoyu's fingers, Ronan's breathing grew heavy.
To harness the power of the Stone, one must at least reach quasi-Father-level strength.
And Wang Haoyu's casual posture, toying with the treasure like this, further highlighted his unfathomable Cultivation.
"Refused! This was my objective all along, why should I hand it over to you?"
"Moreover..." A cold light flashed in Wang Haoyu's eyes, "Who gave you the courage to negotiate terms with me?"
"Who gave you the nerve to attack my territory? Ronan, you are too arrogant!"
Wang Haoyu's face was cold as he harshly rebuked Ronan.
You're simply pushing your luck. Ronan, you've gotten too big for your britches!
"Your Angel Legion isn't here, is it?" Ronan suddenly grew wary, worried that Wang Haoyu had set an ambush, and questioned him darkly.
Hundreds of Warships surrounded Wang Haoyu but dared not open fire, precisely because they wanted to find traces of those Angels. They were the nightmare in Ronan's heart.
If it weren't for that group of Angels with astonishing combat power, his previous fleet wouldn't have been annihilated!
"Guess?" Wang Haoyu rested his chin on his hand, leaning lazily on the Throne of the Starry Sky, responding with an amused smile.
Hearing this frivolous answer, Ronan nearly exploded with rage. Guess? Guess your head!
"It seems Ronan has a grudge against this Nine Realms Supreme?"
"Do you want to interfere?"
"Interfere my ass! Neither the Kree nor the Nine Realms Supreme are people we can afford to provoke."
"Then why did you ask?"
"I was wondering what we should do if Ronan ordered us to attack?"
"If you want to go, you go. I'm not going! Absolutely not going!"
"Ultimately, Ronan is only relying on the reputation of the Kree Empire. But this Lord Wang Haoyu is a genuinely ruthless character!"
"He directly seized a World from Odin's hands and was even granted the Supreme title!"
"I heard this Supreme is extremely vengeful. If he finds out we participated in the battle today, what will happen later?"
"Hiss... You're right. But just now we..."
"Just now we didn't know the situation. Besides, didn't the cannon fodder who charged first all die? Just wait and watch the show!"
Just as the Space Pirates were discussing animatedly, the flames of war between Ronan and Wang Haoyu were on the verge of erupting.
"Guess? I just patrolled this Star Field! Your Angel Legion is nowhere to be found!"
"You came alone, didn't you?"
Chapter 101 Chapter 101
Ronan's face showed an expression of complete control, and he suddenly flashed a ferocious smile at Wang Haoyu!
As for the elite members of Ronan's Guard who were subdued next to Wang Haoyu, he didn't care at all. Because if these mechanical soldiers didn't display their combat power, it would be impossible to tell that they were Quasi-Star-Destroying Level entities.
So what if Unit 723 detected the massive energy within the soldiers? As mentioned before, mechanical soldiers are acceptable on low-end battlefields, but investing huge sums to create Quasi-Star-Destroying Level mechanical units is purely a waste of resources, accelerating their downfall!
After all, this is the Marvel Universe, where individual strength often crushes technological creations. The technological level here is far from reaching the height of the Super God Universe; that is the essential difference.
"Do you want to try?"
Facing the arrogant Ronan, Wang Haoyu propped his chin with one hand, sitting calmly upon the Starry Sky Throne. Rows of mechanical soldiers guarded him like loyal sentinels.
The members of the Pirate Group and Raiders fleet, who were huddled on the other side, exchanged confused glances—had Ronan's brain been kicked loose? Or was he truly ignorant of what was good for him? How could the mechanical legion of this lord of the nine realms be inferior goods? They were the ones who instantly killed your guard just now!
But since Ronan didn't inquire about them, they were happy to remain silent. The resentment from being coerced here was still stuck in their chests!
The equally silent Xandar Defense Fleet was even more justified: You are our enemy and want to attack Xandar, so should we actively leak your strength to seek our own demise?
Holding such thoughts, both the Xandar Fleet and the Pirates and Raiders tacitly shut down their communication channels with Ronan.
Everyone found a good spot to sit down, eating snacks while waiting for the show—to see how Wang Haoyu would deal with Ronan.
"Have a spar? Those words really make me furious!"
"I refuse to believe that you alone can contend against my entire fleet!"
Ronan showed a ferocious expression and suddenly waved his hand!
Following his movement, hundreds of warships belonging to Ronan simultaneously revealed their weapons!
Seeing the opposing fleet take up formation, the Xandar Defense Fleet behind Wang Haoyuimmediately grew nervous.
The reason was simple—Wang Haoyu was blocking them.
If the enemy's artillery fire bypassed Wang Haoyu, they would be the first to bear the brunt!
Could they tolerate this?
They must prepare their defenses!
At the Commander's order, energy shields and force fields immediately deployed, and the ship's cannons began charging, ready to intercept any stray attacks.
But Wang Haoyu paid no attention to the commotion behind him.
He didn't take it to heart at all!
"Do you think you're the only one with a fleet?"
Looking at Ronan's fleet, Wang Haoyu slightly quirked the corner of his mouth.
Fleets are certainly not Ronan's exclusive patent!
One must know that Wang Haoyu daring to leave the Nine Realms alone and step out of Umbrella's sphere of influence single-handedly naturally meant he had something to rely on.
Or rather, the firepower he carried with him was definitely strong enough!
Following Wang Haoyu's casual remark,
a huge spatial rift slowly unfolded behind him.
When this spatial rift, nearly ten thousand meters long, appeared,
everyone was stunned!
Heavens! What is happening? What are you going to do, big shot?
The size of cosmic warships is generally around three thousand meters,
this is the conventional standard.
But the spatial rift opening behind Wang Haoyu was nearly ten thousand meters wide!
Through the rift, whether Raiders or the Defense Fleet,
they clearly saw the scene inside.
The moment they saw it clearly, everyone gasped—
This... this is too exaggerated!
The oppressive feeling rushing forth was like the vast galactic river bearing down—thousands of ship cannons clung to the surface of the colossal warship, which obscured the sky and sun like an ant colony, and the chilling metallic sheen reflected a spectrum of death in the vacuum.
"Damn it..."
"This scale of armament... I'm afraid it would empty the resource vaults of ten star systems?"
"I'm more concerned about the yield of its main cannon, it couldn't possibly be..."
The Raiders huddled in the corner had chattering teeth, and the helmets and masks of the Pirates were already covered in frost. When the salvo parameters flashed across the screens, everyone understood the prophecy of doom: the roar of these cannon barrels was enough to vaporize their flesh into stardust in a thousandth of a second.
"You think a few toy cannons can show off your might?"
The moment Wang Haoyu clenched his knuckles, the spatial folds were brutally torn apart like animal hide. When that colossal vessel, shaped like a mobile War Fortress, crushed the dimensional barrier, the brightness alarm on the observation screen instantly spiked red—the entire hull was an exhibit of violent aesthetics, with thousands of cannon barrels of varying designs resembling the sharp teeth of an ancient behemoth; the smallest secondary cannon's caliber was comparable to a cruiser's main weapon.
"All fleet units! Lock onto that metal monster!"
In Ronan's flagship command hall, the tactical light screen was refreshing casualty estimates three times per second. But this Commander preferred to choose the most magnificent end—at least the wreckage dancing in the cannon fire would become a footnote on the star charts sung by future bards.
"Beifang, clear the area."
Wang Haoyu's Starry Sky Throne was suspended at the highest point of the colossal ship's spine, and Little Rocket's scout vessels circled like satellites. When this order, transformed into an encrypted radio wave, spread throughout the entire ship, the entire War Fortress seemed to be injected with berserk genes—layers of cannon matrices began shooting calibration, and the screech of compressed hydraulic buffers even shattered nearby floating asteroid fragments.
Little Beifang flew lightly in front of Wang Haoyu!
This Little Fellow, dressed in black and white striped clothing and holding a toy airplane, happily pounced toward Wang Haoyu.
"Commander! Commander!" Little Beifang exclaimed excitedly, "Beifang missed you super much!"
Seeing Wang Haoyu appear, this lively Little Fellow immediately burrowed into his embrace.
"Alright, good girl," Wang Haoyu said gently, "The battle is about to start now."
Looking at the cute Little Fellow nestled sweetly in his arms, Wang Haoyu smiled, hugged her, and gently rubbed her small head.
"Mhm mhm! Beifang will definitely defeat the bad guys!" Little Beifang curled up in Wang Haoyu's arms like a kitten and promised seriously.
The surrounding Defense Fleet and Space Pirates were dumbfounded. What exactly was the origin of this little girl who could move freely in space? Was she extraordinarily powerful or a special race?
However, this also confirmed the rumor in the Universe... regarding the Umbrella Commander's special preferences... after all, he did have many such cute and powerful young girls under his command.
Although everyone exchanged constant glances, no one dared to speak up. After all, everyone was aware of this Commander's methods regarding network surveillance.
"Prepare to accept your punishment! Bad guys!"
Little Beifang, who was sweet and obedient in front of Wang Haoyu, was completely transformed now. After leaving the Commander's embrace, she instantly became a headache-inducing little devil.
If you were to ask which unit in the Deep Sea Fleet was the most unpredictable, it would definitely be the Beifang Fleet!
Simply because the flagship of this Beifang Fleet was an exceptionally willful and pampered loli.
Those Hime were purely cleaning up Little Beifang's messes!
The truth is that simple.
When Little Beifang truly went berserk, no one could stop her!
After leaving Wang Haoyu's embrace, Little Beifang completely let loose.
She suddenly stretched her hands forward—
The entire gigantic War Island immediately opened up its dense, fang-like cannon array!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ronan's fleet fired first!
The artillery fire from thousands of warships slammed into the War Island like a torrential rain.
Although sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space... everyone still felt their eardrums trembling.
This was completely different from the feeling brought by holographic images—
Through the ship's multilayer observation windows, countless dazzling artillery trajectories could be clearly seen exploding in the void.
At this moment, the same question flashed in everyone's minds:
Will this steel behemoth be blasted into pieces?
If it explodes, will the Impact affect us?
The Wakanda Defenders, Space Pirates, and Raiders simultaneously began to retreat, deploying energy shields at the same time.
No one wanted to be affected by the possible residual Impact.
Wang Haoyu didn't even bother to look at these little movements.
Pointless.
"Ahhh, so painful! You bunch of idiots!"
Although the neural link between the War Island and Little Beifang would not cause physical harm, the pain feedback was real.
The enraged Little Beifang was completely flustered!
She angrily waved her arms—
All muzzles simultaneously let out a deafening roar!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunderous roaring exploded in the Universe like the shrieks of hungry ghosts!
The so-called War Island was, in fact, a gigantic warship.
The previous artillery fire from Ronan's fleet only destroyed some defensive facilities and shattered sporadic ship cannons.
But for Little Beifang, who possessed thousands of cannons, this was negligible!
The cannon light flashed!
Wang Haoyu watched Ronan's fleet continuously explode in the starry sky, their wreckage scattering like fireworks.
With just one salvo, Little Beifang destroyed two-fifths of Ronan's fleet strength—nearly four hundred warships turned into scrap metal!
Hiss—
Sparks flew from the observation screen at the Xandar Defense Center.
They already knew Wang Haoyu was immensely powerful and dared to venture into the Universealone.
Rumors even claimed he held other Cosmic Gems... no wonder he was so reckless!
Just think about it—
How many civilizations can build warships? And how many possess fleets of over a hundred ships?
Yet this person destroyed three or four hundred ships with just one bombardment!
If a full war broke out, wouldn't he be able to crush a large fleet of a thousand ships?
Xandar's total warships numbered just over three hundred... Wang Haoyu could wipe out the entire Planet's fleet in a single round!
Terrifying!
Truly terrifying!
No wonder the Universe rumor says, "Do not provoke the lord of the nine realms."
Petty, ruthless, and utterly brutal... The observers' uniforms were already soaked with cold sweat.
How should they express their apologies to the ruler of the Umbrella World?
Or rather, how could they gain his forgiveness?
This truly was a tricky problem!
"This... damn it!"
Watching three or four hundred warships under his command instantly destroyed, Ronan's expression became extremely grim.
How should he deal with this feeling of humiliation?
The fleet I painstakingly assembled was so easily defeated by you?
Are you mocking me!
Damn it!
Even Thanos's War Citadel couldn't destroy this many warships in one go!
Mixed with fear and anger, Ronan ordered all remaining warships to launch a suicidal charge!
He must survive!
This was Ronan's only obsession.
"Capture Ronan alive! Don't let him escape!"
Facing this suicidal charge, Wang Haoyu immediately saw through Ronan's intentions.
After all, having fought Ronan before, he was all too familiar with this trick.
He wants to abandon his subordinates and flee alone again!
But what confused Wang Haoyu was:
Why were the soldiers of the Kree Empire so loyal?
Even when treated as pawns, they had no complaints?
They would still strongly assist Ronan when he needed to rebuild his fleet?
It was truly baffling!
"Understood, Commander!"
Little Beifang, upon receiving the order, instantly showed a devilish smile.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of ship cannons simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar.
The dense network of firepower devoured Ronan's fleet along its path, like machine guns sweeping cavalry.
Allowing the warship to unleash its strongest combat power.
Chapter 102
Usually, these tasks are handled by intelligent AIs. They maintain the daily operation of the ship.
Once war begins, these AIs must obey the commands of the Ship Girls and dedicate themselves fully to battle!
As a colossal War Fortress, the number of AIs carried by Little Beifang is not as high as that of the Starry Sky Fortress.
But it is still significantly more than the Southern Flagship.
After all, this is a genuine aircraft carrier!
That's right, the ship cannons are merely Little Beifang's toys.
Its true trump card is the modified Space Fighter.
Utilizing Compression Spheres and Spatial Capsule technology,
The number of fighters stockpiled in this War Fortress is at least seventy to eighty thousand!
A fleet of this scale,
is a devastating force on any battlefield.
Even if Ronan's fleet could fight with a 1:100 advantage,
facing twenty thousand fighters would still be futile.
Although the fighters' launch speed cannot match the enemy warships' acceleration,
it depends on who they are compared to.
100 fighters per wave, one wave per second—
This takeoff efficiency alone is enough to crush all surrounding military power!
After handing the ship cannons over to the Fortress AI control,
Little Beifang personally controlled the air wing with the assistance of multiple AIs.
Although the fighters had undergone countless updates and iterations,
she still shouted that classic slogan:
"Reppū, sortie!"
In her heart, Reppū would always be her most cherished partner.
As the command was issued,
swarms of fighters swept past the enemy ships engaged in combat below,
sweeping across the sky like a gale!
The Space Fighter squadron charged directly toward Ronan's flagship.
Near this flagship, a small warship suddenly detached from the main vessel.
Little Beifang, witnessing this scene, didn't even intend to report it to Wang Haoyu.
She immediately left the flagship to the continuously launching fighter swarm behind her, personally controlling thousands of fighters to pounce on the small warship attempting to flee.
Perhaps Little Beifang is not as clever as the Southern Deep Sea, nor as sweet and adorable as the Azur Lane Ship Girls.
But the reason she could ascend to the throne of the Northern Deep Sea Flagship in her youthful form was her—
almost terrifying battlefield intuition!
If she wished, she could sweep through armies in any battle relying on this instinct.
This is Little Beifang!
"As expected, she's formidable."
Wang Haoyu took in Ronan's small maneuver but did not alert Little Beifang.
What if he escaped? At worst, he would lead his great army to flatten the Kree Empire. Wang Haoyudidn't care what repercussions civilizations friendly with the Kree Empire might face—he even looked forward to someone actively declaring war.
The power in his hands only grows stronger the more it fights. Disobedient? Then hold it in! If you push him too far, he will crush you directly!
"How was I discovered?!"
Ronan stared grimly at the thousands of fighters pursuing him. This escape vessel was equipped with a full stealth system: optical, sonic, radar, visual... all emergency configurations added after he was defeated by the Angel back then.
But Little Beifang didn't fall for it.
After gaining control of the Space Fighters,
Little Beifang immediately launched a fierce assault on Ronan's warship using her excellent combat instincts.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the continuous barrage of cannon fire,
Ronan's small warship was instantly covered in scars!
"You guys go too!"
Looking at Little Beifang, who was focused on the fight,
Wang Haoyu suddenly gave a quiet order to those beside him.
"Go? Go where, Boss?"
Rocket Raccoon in the spacecraft was full of confusion.
What's happening?
Boss?
Before the words fell,
hundreds of mechanical soldiers had already soared into the sky.
Although their speed was inferior to the rapidly ascending Space Fighters,
their combat power far exceeded these flying vehicles.
It wasn't that Wang Haoyu hadn't considered using fighters to carry the mechanical soldiers—
But these soldiers were about the same size as the fighters,
and after being loaded, their speed was slower than the soldiers flying alone,
How could they fight like that?
8⒈17３seven666
After weighing the options,
the mechanical soldiers decisively chose to sortie independently!
At the same time,
the intelligent AIs controlling the ship cannons were fully focused on annihilating all the warships in Ronan's fleet.
"Damn! Isn't this too ruthless?"
"Shut up! If you want to die, don't drag us down!"
"What 'this guy'? You must respectfully call him Lord Wang Haoyu, ruler of the nine realms!"
"Right, you must call him Lord Wang Haoyu! Otherwise, if you die, there won't even be anyone to collect your corpse!"
"Collect your corpse? You'll probably be turned directly into cosmic dust!"
"But this War Carrier is truly amazing!"
"Of course! Crushing five or six hundred enemy ships while simultaneously dispatching fighters for cleanup!"
"Luckily we didn't get involved, or we'd suffer the same fate!"
"Have you noticed how many fighters this warship has launched?"
"Roughly... four or five thousand?"
(
That's 8,900 fighters! An average of 100 fighters released per second! The current total has reached 9,200!
After this conversation was transmitted across the communication channels of the Raiders and Space Pirates—
everyone fell into a deathly silence!
This is outrageous!
How could so many fighters be deployed in such a short time?
What exactly are they trying to do?
How large is this group's fleet size?
Having such massive ship-mounted firepower wasn't enough; they were also equipped with a shocking number of fighters?
The troop deployment configuration of this War Carrier is simply beyond imagination!
It's insane!
At this moment, whether Space Pirates or Raiders, all were in a state of shock.
As one of the rulers of the Nine Realms, the strength and methods displayed by Wang Haoyu were terrifying!
"What is the fighter count now?"
"12,300!"
"So many Space Fighters... the capacity of this mothership is completely unscientific!"
"Latest discovery: The dozen or so fighters we are tracking are all unmanned! It's likely that Little Loli is controlling them remotely!"
Saying this, everyone simultaneously looked toward Little Beifang, who was focused on the operations.
This Little Fellow... actually possesses such terrifying abilities?
Perhaps it is true.
Wang Haoyu didn't care about what these people thought.
The only thing he was certain of now was that Ronan was absolutely doomed this time!
"Intercept those fighters coming from the rear with full force!"
Facing the continuously increasing swarm of Space Fighters, Ronan roared at the Transcendental Guard Corps beside him.
Upon receiving the order, most of the guards immediately deployed.
The few remaining guards inside the command ship all possessed Planet-Destroying Level strength.
Bang!
A fighter arrived in a sudden attack—
The Quasi-Planet-Level expert under Ronan was about to counterattack,
Suddenly!
A streak of light flashed from behind!
Amidst a tremendous explosion, the mechanical soldiers descended in the smoke of the fighter's impact!
(
Aided by the Space Fighters, the Mechanical Legion engaged the enemy fiercely.
This steel warrior charged directly toward the Quasi-Star-Destroying Level opponent in front of him.
Subsequently, more mechanical warriors joined the battlefield via fighter energy beams, launching an assault on Ronan's Personal Guard.
Amidst the roar, every mechanical warrior tied down a Quasi-Star-Destroying Level enemy.
At the same time, Little Beifang commanded hundreds of Space Fighters to pursue the fleeing Ronan.
The target was clear!
The will was resolute!
No one could stop the target Little Beifang was determined to capture!
Strength is truth!
When absolute power is held, Wang Haoyu's will is the supreme command!
"Boom!"
When Ronan's escape vessel, the fighter swarm led by Little Beifang, and the pursuing mechanical warriors all broke away from the main battlefield, their speeds suddenly increased.
Within the main battlefield, explosions were frequent and debris was dense, making full-speed travel difficult.
After breaking away, the pursuit force immediately accelerated!
The mechanical warriors knew their own weakness—
Speed!
For this reason, they burst forth with 120% of their maximum speed in a full-force charge!
Amidst clanging sounds, the warriors leaped onto the enemy ship one after another.
Where the sharp blades struck, the warship's outer shell instantly cracked.
Even the sturdiest armor could not withstand the destructive power of these specialized weapons.
The warship was forcibly ripped open with several gashes by the mechanical warriors.
The mechanical soldiers rushed into the interior of the warship without hesitation.
"These iron lumps!"
Little Beifang watched their actions, stamping her feet in frustration.
Although these mechanical soldiers were products personally forged by Wang Haoyu, Little Beifangwas not very familiar with them.
It was only out of respect for Wang Haoyu that Little Beifang refrained from directly attacking the warship.
If it were those modified fighters, she would have launched a fierce assault long ago—and an extremely vicious one at that.
As the former Flagship commanding billions of Deep Sea Ship Girls, Little Beifang's combat philosophy was simple: a problem that can be solved with the least cost is no problem at all.
She was completely unconcerned about sacrifices on the battlefield, and would even actively choose to sacrifice enemy units.
This is Little Beifang—possessing extraordinary combat intuition, and sufficiently ruthless even toward her own side.
In this situation, the Hime of the Northern Fleet could only scramble to cover gaps and clean up the mess left by Little Beifang.
After all, when she became ruthless, no one could stop her.
"Stop right there!"
Seeing that the warship was still moving after the mechanical soldiers rushed in, Little Beifangnarrowed her eyes.
She controlled dozens of Space Fighters to crash at full speed into the warship's tail wing—the location of the Power Core!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst successive explosions, these fighters were decisively sacrificed by Little Beifang.
The effect was immediate: Ronan's warship finally ceased its forward movement.
Little Beifang thought briefly, then released the Grappling Hooks from all the fighters.
Clack, clack—
Two thousand Space Fighters surrounded the warship like a swarm of bees.
The Cables firmly gripped the interstellar warship!
With a mighty pull!
Little Beifang exerted force, forcibly dragging the powerless warship back!
Commander Wang Haoyu wanted the target captured alive.
Little Beifang wasn't sure if Thanos could survive in a vacuum.
Since she wasn't sure, she would bring the entire warship back!
A perfect solution!
During the towing process, countless interstellar fighters launched.
They formed a Three-Dimensional Net of Fire, strangling Ronan's fleet!
Attacked from front and back—
The front was the heavy artillery battery of the War Island,
while the rear consisted of mobile fighters swarming like bees.
These fighters employed Wolfpack Tactics.
Whenever a damaged unit appeared,
Immediately, three to five fighters formed a suicide echelon.
They executed a Kamikaze Attack under friendly fire cover!
Suicide attacks were not exclusive to Ronan's fleet,
Little Beifang's AI fighters were equally proficient!
After all, the controllers were Virtual Intelligent Life Forms,
being able to experience real combat using mechanical bodies,
was practically a carnival for them!
The entire Annihilation Battle lasted only 20 minutes!
That's right, Little Beifang only deployed fifty thousand fighters—
If she continued to increase troop deployment,
the battlefield would turn into a horrifying scene of swarming hives,
enough to make trypophobics faint!
Witnessing the fighter swarm that blotted out the sky,
the Wakandan defenders, Raiders, and Space Pirates,
fell completely into despair.
This was impossible to fight against!
Were the pirate and Raider fleets small in number?
A full two to three thousand ships!
Yet, if an attack force of two to three thousand ships were aimed at Shankanda Planet, it would definitely suffer considerable losses!
Chapter 103 Chapter 103
It wasn't because the Xandar Garrison Fleet possessed superior combat power. The key was the massive number of Anti-air Railguns densely covering the Planet's surface!
These were the truly troublesome guys.
Yet Ronan's fleet was able to clash head-on with the Xandar defenders.
The reason was simply that both sides possessed regular military structures.
Both were battle-hardened, iron-blooded armies?
Those Space Vagrants and raiding ships were, at best, a disorganized rabble!
Losing to them was practically inevitable!
But accidents always happen unexpectedly.
Wang Haoyu, alone, broke through the encirclement.
He actually blasted Ronan's entire fleet into space junk.
Although a thousand Starfighters were lost during the fierce battle.
But for a massive army possessing fifty thousand fighters, this loss wasn't even a drop in the ocean!
The most terrifying thing was that destroying Ronan's entire fleet only took twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes?
Even if those Space Pirates were given thirty minutes to escape, they still wouldn't be able to flee!
This strength is truly terrifying!
When everyone witnessed Ronan's Flagship being towed back by two thousand fighters.
Everyone knew clearly: Ronan had completely fallen this time!
He had become a living captive!
Facing Wang Haoyu, people only felt the suffocating pressure brought by overwhelming combat power. Everything else was insignificant! 730?
"Drag him out!" Towed by over a hundred fighters, Ronan's Escape Ship was pulled before Wang Haoyu's Throne.
Following the cold command.
Several mechanical soldiers violently tore open the escape ship's hull.
The sound of metal snapping and loud crashes continued non-stop.
The ship's armor was shredded like paper.
The air inside the cabin was instantly sucked out, creating a deadly vacuum.
The few surviving Kree and soldiers died agonizingly in the vacuum.
What a pathetic end!
Clang!
A Humanoid Terminator-like Mechanical Warrior grabbed the heavily armored Ronan, flew out of the wreckage, and smashed him heavily before Wang Haoyu's Starry Sky Throne.
The Zenith of the Star Sea
Under the brilliant star dome, tens of thousands of vessels swirled and ascended like a swarm of bees, completely surrounding the Xandar Legion and the Space Raiders. These steel hunters gleamed with cold light, like a pack of wolves that had found their prey.
The oppressive presence emanating from the Warship Beifang sent shivers down the spines of all hostile forces. The Xandar warriors gripped their control sticks, and sweat beaded on the foreheads of the Raiders—why would this War Devil turn his attention towards us?
Fear silently spread in the vacuum.
Setting aside the chances of defeating Wang Haoyu head-on, the Warship Island alone, comparable to a mobile galaxy, plunged them into despair. Millions of cannon muzzles glowed with faint blue light, and one hundred thousand Carrier-based aircraft continued to pour out of the Mother Ship Hive... This far exceeded the space armament scale of two thousand vessels typically maintained by a conventional Planet.
"Cough, cough..."
Ronan, restrained by the Mechanical Guards, weakly lifted his head. The former overlord of the star sea now only had shattered dignity and utter despair in his eyes. He gazed at the figure on the Throne—Wang Haoyu, the Co-ruler of the Nine Realms, who had forged his reputation through iron-blooded conquest.
Within the territory of the Nine Realms, he destroyed civilizations without punishment from the Divine Realm, instead being granted the Venerable position. His authority rivaled that of the All-Father, making him the Uncrowned King of the Umbrella World.
"Finally remembered me?" Wang Haoyu lightly tapped the armrest of the Throne, looking down at his opponent who resembled a defeated dog. This former Kree Empire Successor was now being dragged around like a piece of loot.
"Hahaha... Might makes right." Ronan coughed out a bloody, miserable laugh. "You won."
"Don't rush, we're not finished yet! I quite like the look of your Kree and the Empire."
A low whisper came from the starry sky, laced with danger beneath its laziness.
Ronan's pupils suddenly contracted, his knuckles turning white.
He likes the look of the Kree and the Empire?
Is he... going to use me as an excuse to attack our Homeworld?
Madman!
Others fight over the Infinity Stones, but this guy is obsessed with tearing apart the order of the Universe—
"Surprised?" The voice from the Throne was mocking. "You were the one who started it."
He enjoyed watching Ronan's trembling eyes,
like watching a beast caught in a trap.
War has always been like this:
The winner takes all, the loser perishes.
"No..." Ronan's mask cracked open,
despair mixed with his ambition.
He was only one step away from sitting on the Throne—
Crack!
The alloy arm of the mechanical soldiers smashed down,
and the unconscious body was dragged away like a sack of grain.
The bargaining chip was secured.
"Admiral! Admiral!"
The silver-haired girl crashed into his arms,
the wreckage of warships silently burning behind her.
Wang Haoyu smiled and ruffled the tuft of antenna hair sticking up,
not even sparing a glance for the fleeing pirates.
—Why would a lion care about mosquitoes and flies?
When the last Kree warship turned into fireworks,
Little Beifang looked up:
"We won!"
Wang Haoyu supported her jumping body,
his fingertips passing through her hair,
like brushing a nascent Nebula.
As long as they didn't cross his bottom line, he chose to completely ignore them.
"Hehe, Beifang is the best. Beifang is much stronger than Elder Sister Nanfang."
"When we go back, Beifang will definitely brag to Elder Sister Nanfang. Hehe."
Little Beifang, having been comforted by Wang Haoyu, smiled radiantly.
It seemed she also planned to get some treats from Nanfang.
This little clever girl is quite mischievous.
Watching Little Beifang, Wang Haoyu gently curved his lips into a smile.
"Dispatch a cruiser."
He ruffled Little Beifang's head, then transferred a cruiser out of the Warship Island.
The mechanical soldiers immediately boarded the vessel with Ronan.
This cruiser would serve as Wang Haoyu's transportation for the next leg of the journey.
"Recall the Space Fighters."
Wang Haoyu chuckled, watching the one hundred thousand Space Fighters swaggering in space, and ruffled Little Beifang's head again.
These fighters had already terrified the Interstellar Defense Fleet of Shankanda Planet, the pirates, and the Raiders, leaving them trembling.
Everyone had turned off their weapon safeties, terrified of accidentally provoking Wang Haoyu.
If his massive army pressed down, no matter who he attacked, the other side wouldn't dare make a move.
A person who can tear open the starry sky and summon the Warship Island can do it again at any time.
At that time... hmph, who would have a chance of winning?
"Understood, Admiral."
Little Beifang nodded, directing the fighters to return one by one.
As the fighters gradually returned to the Warship Island, the Space Pirates and the Xandar military personnel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His Excellency, the lord of the nine realms Wang Haoyu, had finally sheathed his sharpness.
He was truly terrifying.
Filled with awe, everyone collectively performed the Highest Universal Etiquette towards him.
Both in status and strength, he was fully deserving.
Soon, after all the fighters were recalled, Wang Haoyu tore open the starry sky again—
The Warship Island slowly submerged into it.
Countless soldiers from Xandar Starships and Space Pirates gazed at the fractured starry sky, shock flashing in their eyes.
811737666
Ship silhouettes overlapped, like points of light in the endless star river.
One, two, three... more colossal warships silently arranged themselves in the void.
Those sleeping steel behemoths seemed restrained by some power, awaiting the command to awaken.
It was practically a mobile arsenal!
Could he possibly carry an entire armory with him?
They might not be as huge as the legendary "Warship Island,"
but they were definitely several times larger than the Frigates currently visible.
"Rocket, time to go."
Wang Haoyu softly reminded Little Rocket, who was stunned stiff.
"Oh! Coming, Boss!"
Little Rocket finally snapped out of it and hurriedly started his Miniature spaceship,
speeding towards the cruiser.
The cruiser's hatch slowly closed,
Little Rocket's spaceship was stored inside the hangar.
Beifang still clung to Wang Haoyu like a koala.
Wang Haoyu wasn't averse to this kind of intimate gesture—
Who would reject a cute loli clinging to them?
"Boss, what's the plan next?"
Little Rocket watched the mechanical soldiers escort Ronan into the Confinement Pod,
and couldn't help but ask quietly.
These elite warriors, completely different from the mass-produced models,
were individually modified by Wang Haoyu himself,
and could be called the most reliable Guard Legion.
"Go to The Ring to pick up Groot, then return to Earth."
Wang Haoyu pondered his established goals:
The Time, Space, and Power Stones were already in hand,
the remaining Mind, Soul, and Reality Stones,
would be the focus of the next journey.
Among these, the Soul Stone requires sacrificing the most important person to obtain. Wang Haoyuhad already given up hope on that. As for the Mind Stone and Reality Stone, he had a vague premonition, but wasn't sure if they were in Thanos's hands.
"Alright, Boss! I can't wait!" Looking at the excited Little Rocket, Wang Haoyu's mouth curved slightly upward.
"Depart!" With the command given, the cruiser immediately activated and sped toward the Lawless Zone. The defense fleet of Shankanda Planet and the Space Pirates nervously watched them leave. Once Wang Haoyu and his group were far away, the two sides quickly resumed their standoff. Before long, they tacitly withdrew—the Space Pirates retreated back to the Lawless Zone, and the defense fleet returned to their respective posts.
On the other side, the campaign commanded by Ling Liang was proceeding methodically. When psychic power was combined with Technology Magic power, Umbrella's Colonial Army erupted with astonishing combat power. Their combat level was comparable to the Blue Star Expeditionary Force. In terms of combat will, due to the addition of a certain rabbit, they far surpassed ordinary troops; perhaps only Ling Liang's Co-Brilliance Lineal Forces could contend with them.
Through a series of battles, both the Colonial Army and the Expeditionary Force earned Ling Liang's approval. In her view, although these soldiers lacked combat technique, their tenacious fighting will was more valuable. After all, gaps in technical equipment could be compensated for by superior armament—and in this regard, Umbrella was always far ahead.
"Reporting, General, the enemy is mobilizing large forces in an attempt to ambush our logistics line."
A Chief of Staff hastily handed over intelligence data acquired by the Intelligent AI from the Virtual Network.
Ling Liang examined the data and nodded slightly.
This civilization had gathered the vast majority of its remaining forces, attempting to sever General Ling Liang's rear supply line and eliminate the Expeditionary Force and Colonial Army stationed on the Planet.
This plan seemed decent, but in the eyes of General Ling Liang, it was insignificant.
"Issue the order: The First Main Fleet will head straight for the enemy Imperial Capital Planet. Dispatch the First Exploration Fleet to tie down the ambushing forces."
"The goal is merely to contain the enemy. The Colonial Army may be sacrificed if necessary."
The five Punitive Force generals standing behind Ling Liang exchanged glances.
The Joint Expeditionary Force's goal in this campaign was originally just to follow Umbrella and get a piece of the pie. In terms of military philosophy, trading second and third tier forces for the destruction of the enemy capital was a worthwhile transaction.
But when it involved their own troops, it was inevitably difficult to accept.
However, after hearing Ling Liang specifically emphasize "Colonial Army," these generals were unsure whether to be happy or worried—did this mean the Joint Expeditionary Force wouldn't have to be the sacrificial lambs?
"Understood, General!"
Chapter 104
The Chief of Staff understood the deeper meaning in Ling Liang's words: not sacrificing the Punitive Force meant the First Exploration Fleet would suffer even heavier losses.
"So, are you ready to face my wrath?"
Ling Liang gazed at the Civilized Imperial Capital Planet marked on the star map, tossed aside her command stick, and leaned back on the sofa, quietly awaiting the battle report... "Everyone, there is news: the Commander is on his way. I received instructions that he will take you back to Blue Star."
"Please prepare yourselves."
After occupying several Cosmic Fortress Bases, Nagama Shinzo took over these strongholds. Inside one of the fortress Bases, just as the Avengers members were celebrating, Nagama Shinzo suddenly appeared, leading his subordinates.
---
"Huh? Is the Admiral coming?"
Ink Jade blinked, an unconcealable joy appearing on her face.
"That's right. The Commander is hurrying this way."
Nagama Shinzo looked at the delighted girl and nodded seriously in confirmation.
Although Nagama Shinzo usually treated everyone equally, Ink Jade was clearly an exception—as Wang Haoyu's exclusive Ship Girl, her status was destined to be unique.
From a faction standpoint, Nagama Shinzo represented the red alert Forces, while Ink Jade was one of the invisible leaders of the Ship Girl Faction. Even though both sides were currently allied, this disparity still existed.
"Then let's hurry up and leave!"
Ink Jade chewed on a snack and looked excitedly at the Avengers members before her. After delaying for so long outside, it was time to return.
Everyone exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus: it was indeed time to return to Earth. But before returning, they had to meet up with Wang Haoyu first.
After bidding farewell to Nagama Shinzo, Tony, Steve, and the others boarded Ink Jade's vessel with their respective spoils—supplies "confiscated" in the Universe.
For Tony, the biggest gain this time was access to Wang Haoyu's Mech Technology. Obsessed with it, he even applied to enter the Mechanist Academy for further study.
(It is worth mentioning that Wang Haoyu readily agreed to this. After all, the intellectual property always remained in his hands. In fact, students from the Umbrella World accounted for up to 70% of the enrollment in various academies, with the remaining slots open to Earthlings.)
When one's strength is enough to crush everything, the so-called "monopoly" ceases to be an issue.
---
When you have the ability to monopolize everything but choose to share, people will praise your selflessness and nobility.
You will become a saint in their eyes.
This is human nature.
Because of this, Wang Haoyu did not mind spreading some of his knowledge.
If he could use this to bring Blue Star under his control,
it would not be a bad thing.
Although the people of the Umbrella World were loyal,
they lacked the greed of the Blue Star people.
Wang Haoyu needed an excuse,
he needed greed.
He wanted to use greed as a fuse to ignite the flames of war,
and launch a conquest.
This was the plan in his heart.
Time flew by. Soon after, the two sides exchanged location information,
The cruiser piloted by Little Northern successfully rendezvoused with the Warship commanded by Ink Jade.
Once the two ships met,
Wang Haoyu unhesitatingly tossed the ordinary cruiser into the space he casually ripped open.
The performance of that vessel was [censored],
but in terms of luxury and comfort,
the Warship commanded by Ink Jade was the optimal choice.
"Admiral, I missed you so much!"
As soon as they met, Ink Jade, the silly girl, pounced into Wang Haoyu's arms like a kitten.
"Alright, I missed you too."
Looking at the cat-like Ink Jade, Wang Haoyu's lips curled slightly,
saying nothing more, only gently stroking her cheek.
Feeling his touch, Ink Jade's cheeks flushed red,
her eyes filled with joy, burning like Fire.
"Ahhh! Are you two trying to suffocate me?"
Little Northern, caught between the two, was unhappy.
As one of the Four Great Deep Sea Grand Flagships,
Little Northern was the only flat-chested loli,
while the other three were all "well-endowed" individuals.
As for Ink Jade,
although she was not particularly "spectacular,"
when embracing Wang Haoyu,
she still managed to bury Little Northern's head in the "rice cakes."
Looking up meant seeing two soft masses,
Little Northern pouted angrily,
her small face drooping like a hung soy sauce bottle.
"Alright, you're a Grand Flagship, don't be so petty. Let's go, we're heading back!"
Wang Haoyu said with a smile, while comforting Little Northern in his arms.
Wang Haoyu gently embraced Ink Jade as he stepped into the Hovercraft, nodding in greeting to the Avengers members along the way.
"Gentlemen, I trust you are all well."
Looking at the familiar faces of his old friends, Wang Haoyu's lips curved into a warm smile. While on Shankanda Planet, all he received was respect and deference, but only when facing this group of comrades could he lower his guard and show his true self.
"Hahaha, you brat! I missed you terribly!"
Tony sprang up from the sofa, lollipop dangling from his mouth, and opened his arms for a bear hug. Wang Haoyu swiftly dodged, took the opportunity to lightly kick Tony's backside, and watched him tumble back into the sofa.
"Get lost! Wanda, come here for a hug!"
He turned towards the other Red-Haired lady and spread his arms.
The Scarlet Witch smiled slyly and deliberately tugged at her black undershirt. Her soft curves subtly swayed with the motion, faintly visible beneath the fabric.
"Cheater!" Tony yelled, eyes wide.
Su's expression instantly froze when she pushed open the door.
The tight jeans perfectly outlined her slender legs; if she changed into [censored], it would definitely be an eye-catching weapon.
"Hmph, you come over here too!"
Seeing this, Wanda immediately pulled Wang Haoyu into a hug, a strong scent of rice cakes wafting towards him. Although this sweet scent was intoxicating, Wang Haoyu muttered internally: Shouldn't I be the one taking the initiative? But this soft, glutinous feeling was truly addictive... When Su saw Wang Haoyu's entire face buried in Wanda's chest, and then looked down at her own flat curves, she unconsciously pouted. She stamped her foot and moved closer to Wanda, causing the Avengers to show playful smiles. Even Little Northern was stunned, forgetting to lick her lollipop.
"So jealous..."
"The Admiral is so lucky..."
"Why am I just..."
Little Northern looked back and forth at Wanda and Ink Jade's figures, then suddenly burst into loud sobs.
"What's wrong?" Wang Haoyu quickly broke free from the embrace. Even if the hug was tempting, he couldn't just let a child cry. Seeing this, Wanda let out a soft "hmph" but released her hold contentedly.
Ink Jade quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "What happened?" Although Little Northern was not her direct Ship Girl, as a senior member of the Deep Sea Faction, comforting a junior was her duty.
Little Northern watched Ink Jade approach, bearing two moderately sized rice cakes on her chest.
Little Northern sniffled.
Then she burst into even fiercer sobs.
Baby feels bitter inside.
Baby feels terrible and wants to cry.
Baby is so wronged.
Little Northern, her face covered in tears, cried loud enough to shake the heavens!
"Don't cry, why are you crying, Little Northern?"
Seeing Little Northern cry harder and harder, coupled with the Avengers covering their ears,
Wang Haoyu felt a bit helpless.
Little Northern was a child, after all.
What was there to blame her for?
If it were a boy, Wang Haoyu would have already scolded him.
But for a girl—
Just coax her!
Thinking this, Wang Haoyu directly picked up Little Northern and gently comforted her.
Little Northern, held in his arms, bare feet dangling, clutching her lollipop, buried her small face deep into Wang Haoyu's chest.
The crying stopped abruptly.
Looking at the Little Fellow who was fiercely clutching his clothes and refusing to let go,
Wang Haoyu's mouth twitched slightly.
This Little Thing... if she wants a hug, she can have a hug!
Just like that, Wang Haoyu, holding Little Northern in his arms, slumped lazily onto the sofa, watching the Avengers members brag without restraint.
These guys really knew how to talk.
"However, given the current situation, traveling is simply too time-consuming."
From Shankanda Planet to the Shattered Star Belt, and then back to the edge of the Nine Realms.
Wang Haoyu rubbed his temples.
This journey indeed took a lot of time.
Thinking of this, he became interested in Asgard's Bifrost Bridge.
In Wang Haoyu's view, the Bifrost Bridge was essentially a construction of a Spatial Tunnel.
It directly connected two locations, shortening a journey of ten days or half a month to just a few minutes.
"Are you going straight back, or are you coming with me to find Ling Liang?"
After returning to the Base near the Star Shattering Passage.
Wang Haoyu turned his head and asked the Avengers members beside him.
Hearing this question, everyone fell into thought—
Go back to Earth? Or go find General Ling Liang?
Was there even a need to hesitate?
Contact General Ling Liang directly!
Maybe they could score another wave of Military Merits.
In the Umbrella World, Military Merits were the hard currency.
Social niceties and favors were useless.
Military Merits could exchange for everything.
Actually, this Military Merit System was copied by Wang Haoyu from the system of the Great Qin Empire.
However, he made many changes!
The core philosophy remained unchanged, but the specific details were greatly modified.
"Of course we're going! We missed those old friends terribly!"
Tony put down his red wine glass and explained with a smile to Wang Haoyu.
The old friends he referred to were the five generals of the Punitive Force.
"Alright, since you all agree, let's depart!"
Wang Haoyu immediately ordered Ink Jade to set the course.
The target was straight for General Ling Liang's location.
After the order was given,
Ink Jade immediately piloted the Warship forward at full speed!
... "General, report! Multiple Warships destroyed on the front line!"
"General... the enemy seems to have powerful reinforcements, possibly Super Experts!"
"General, several Quasi-Star-Destroying Level Experts have been killed on the front line!"
General Ling Liang was waiting for the battle report with her eyes closed,
when she suddenly received a series of urgent military reports!
"What is the situation?"
If it were only Warship losses,
General Ling Liang could completely accept it!
Her battle bottom line was a 5% casualty rate, absolutely not exceeding 10%.
And the damage inflicted on the enemy must be at least 50% greater than their own losses.
This was the source of Ling Liang's confidence.
But now the front line reported an unknown expert?
The enemy experts were already within her calculations!
Whether they were colonial experts or experts converted from prisoners of war,
they were nothing to fear in front of the top expert of the Yuri Faction.
The front line had deployed over a dozen Quasi-Star-Destroying Level Experts and multiple Star-Destroying Level Experts.
"General, the enemy is still causing destruction! Front line losses continue to expand!"
While General Ling Liang was still hesitating, the latest battle report arrived from the front line.
The casualty figures continued to climb.
Even the transcendent beings of the Star-destroying Level failed to stop the enemy's advance.
This sudden news made Ling Liang's face instantly turn frosty.
"Order the front line to evacuate immediately! Subsequent echelons are to provide fire cover!"
The continuous increase in casualties meant that Ling Liang's operational losses had exceeded the red line, which was absolutely intolerable.
As the order was given, hundreds of Warships began alternating their retreat in an orderly fashion. Even during the evacuation, the Umbrella fleet maintained a precise fire support system.
That transcendent expert slightly frowned, crushing a Quasi-Star-Destroying Level opponent with a raise of his hand.
"Where exactly did this well-trained force come from?"
Chapter 105
Captain Marvel stared at the fleet, which advanced and retreated with perfect discipline, both shocked and bewildered. She hadn't returned to the Nine Realms in years; when had such an elite force emerged?
What puzzled her even more was Nick Fury's previous warning—that Blue Star had been taken over by some terrorist organization, and all humans had bowed in submission? It was absolutely preposterous.
Carol couldn't help but rub her forehead. Getting caught in such a large-scale conflict right after returning to the Nine Realms, what exactly was Odin, the ruler, doing? Whose deployment was this armed force? Why could they operate freely here?
"Are they starting to retreat?"
She did not pursue the perfectly formed fleet. Although the enemy was withdrawing, their tight defensive formation left no opening. Rushing in rashly would likely lead to being heavily encircled.
Even with her extraordinary strength, Carol didn't believe she could escape unscathed. This was the fundamental difference between individual might and legion warfare—if one could sweep through an army alone, why bother forming a fleet?
"I really should have a good talk with Fury."
She helplessly looked at the system residents holding their home Planet: "But I'm afraid I can't get away for now."
Since she took on this mission, she couldn't expect to get out easily.
"What happened at the front line?"
Wang Haoyu arrived from the rear with the Avengers members, noticing that the atmosphere in the command center was somewhat unusual.
He led everyone steadily into the command room.
"Commander!"
On the Flagship, the illustrious, General Ling Liang's Flagship, Captain Radiance enthusiastically greeted Wang Haoyu as soon as she saw him.
The joy of their long-awaited reunion was evident.
Radiance showed full maternal care, burying Wang Haoyu's face deep into her ample embrace.
This intimacy made Wang Haoyu both happy and embarrassed.
After all, being so close in front of everyone, wouldn't it be too ostentatious?
Seeing this, whether it was the staff in the command room, the five generals of the Punitive Force, or the members of the Avengers, they all tactfully looked away.
Who didn't know that Wang Haoyu, the leader of Umbrella, was an extremely possessive man? This possessiveness already far exceeded that of ordinary people.
"Let go first, everyone's watching. I'll find you later."
Wang Haoyu gently patted Radiance's silken long skirt, his voice a little muffled.
Indeed muffled—he was entirely enveloped in Radiance's embrace.
"Mhm, I'll be waiting for you, Commander!"
Finally getting a promise, Radiance reluctantly hugged Wang Haoyu tightly, embracing him for a good while before letting go.
Her eyes were full of reluctance—it had been a long time since she had been able to spend quality time with her beloved Commander.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Wang Haoyu, having extricated himself from Radiance's embrace, walked up to General Ling Liang and calmly inquired about the details.
Although Wang Haoyu was now equipped with a void engine with nearly a hundred frequencies and a third-generation body, he could grasp the entire situation with a slight scan.
But as the leader of Umbrella, he had to give his subordinates enough respect and value their work.
On that note, that would really dampen their enthusiasm!
"We ran into a tough opponent during the attack," Ling Liang called up the holographic combat map. "This guy is too formidable; our vanguard lost nearly 20% of its forces."
Wang Haoyu stared at the figure in the 3D projection—golden hair flowing, red and blue battle armorshimmering, her combat stance like a Valkyrie descended.
"Captain Marvel?" He frowned and flicked away his cigarette butt.
In the Marvel Universe, this woman was definitely a force to be reckoned with, her combat power easily surpassing Odin and Ancient One. Although she hadn't reached Father-level, she could easily beat a normal Thanos. The most frustrating thing was that this woman was protecting thousands of Planets outside the Nine Realms, which was purely inviting disaster for Earth.
"Relying on Ancient One to hold the fort on Earth, and running off to be a space saint?" Wang Haoyusneered. He understood Danvers' intentions perfectly—she merely wanted to pave the way for humanity's interstellar era, so that when they left the solar system, they would have more allies.
But he only found this woman ridiculously naive. Where was the tenderness in the Universe? So-called pacifists were either weaklings pretending or hegemonies sugarcoating. Resources were limited; when civilizations across star systems discovered new lands, their first thought was always to plant flags and seize territory.
Whether through domineering plunder, military invasion, or resource exploitation, methods would always be found to acquire resources.
Behind these methods, the support of military force was indispensable.
Danvers' original intention was indeed commendable, but what if Blue Star people truly ventured into the Universe and Danvers was no longer there?
Among the thousands of Planets she protected, at least half would stand by and watch Blue Star's future predicament, and some would even seize the opportunity to annex it.
If Blue Star could produce one Danvers, why couldn't it produce a second? Ultimately, annexation was the most realistic choice.
This was the dark forest law of the Universe.
"Does Commander know this person?"
Wang Haoyu's reaction clearly indicated that he knew her.
Since the Commander understood the situation, it would be easy to handle; just leave it to him.
"Something like that." Wang Haoyu nodded in response to General Ling Liang.
Saying he knew her was true in a way, and saying he didn't know her was also true—he knew of her unilaterally, but she might not know of him.
More importantly, Danvers belonged to the peace faction, while his own methods were more… aggressive.
Forget it, let Danvers' old acquaintance handle it.
"Thor, you should know this guy, right?"
Wang Haoyu's forehead twitched as he watched Thor, who was guzzling wine from a bottle in the command room.
Could these guys not be so indulgent?
"*Hiccup*... Danvers? She's alright. But I don't want to deal with her!"
At the mention of Danvers, Thor shivered instantly.
Wang Haoyu narrowed his eyes—there was definitely something fishy going on here.
Since they knew each other, why was he avoiding her?
Although the current Thor was not yet quasi-Father-level in strength, he was not far off.
It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he possessed quasi-Father-level combat power, though he was still far inferior to his sister, Hela, the God of Death.
Hela, the God of Death, once battled Odin for days without a clear victor,
and was ultimately sealed deep within the underworld.
Even if Hela hadn't reached Father-level, she possessed at least peak quasi-Father-level combat power.
And Odin was a genuine Father-level powerhouse.
Above this,
only the Celestials and the five original Gods were more powerful.
These five ancient Gods were the primordial existences of the Marvel Universe.
These two major forces always kept Wang Haoyu from underestimating them,
their power capable of destroying the heavens and Earth.
"Are you going or not? If you dare to refuse,
I'll let you taste my 'caring special training'."
Wang Haoyu flexed his wrists and gave Thor a devilish smile,
"I presume you'll make a wise choice?"
This eerie smile sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"Just agree, Thor!
This is for the Avengers!"
The members urged him in the communication channel, chattering away,
with anticipation shining in each of their eyes,
as if ready to forcibly escort Thor there at any moment.
"You guys are outright coercing me!"
Thor whined aggrievedly,
"It's not you guys who are getting hurt..."
"Then it's happily decided that you will go and negotiate with Danvers.
If you can't come to an agreement, I will personally intervene."
Wang Haoyu finished speaking and turned to walk towards another compartment of the illustrious,
his figure gradually disappearing before the automatic door of the command room.
The tasks he had to deal with now were piling up:
He needed to build a void weapon arsenal for the Angel Legion,
and also equip his elite subordinates with various combat engines—
Although it was temporarily impossible to equip everyone with void engines,
the research and development of secondary biological engines or biological engines was already imminent.
Whether it was General Ling Liang, Southern of the Deep Sea Fleet,
or Alice and Shionogizono Tabane's team on Red Alert Planet... these people were all key cultivation targets for Wang Haoyu.
If he didn't equip them with enough power, Wang Haoyu always felt uneasy.
"What exactly happened? Why are you so afraid of seeing that person?"
Tony, holding a bottle of red wine, walked up to Thor, who was scratching his head in frustration.
As Wang Haoyu left, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
After all, being in a high position for a long time, even if Wang Haoyu didn't deliberately display his authority, that inherent aura would still make everyone unconsciously reserved.
"Can you tell us the specifics?"
General Xu walked over with the four Punitive Force generals, a kind smile on his face. They knew that although the Avengers and the Punitive Force were both Earth forces, the former directly belonged to Wang Haoyu.
"Everyone knows I'm from Asgard, right?"
"Before I came to Earth, Carol, as a powerful Earthling, was introduced by Sorcerer Ancient One to meet my father, the King, in Asgard."
"And then..."
A pained expression appeared on Thor's face, giving everyone present an ominous premonition.
"Because my brother Loki played a trick, I was used as a sparring partner by Carol for a month! She called it 'training the Crown Prince of Asgard'!"
"This was clearly personal revenge! Damn it!"
At the painful part, Thor's eyes reddened as he chugged red wine.
"Wait a minute..." Tony showed a cunning smile, "Even if you were framed by your brother, it shouldn't have lasted that long, right?"
"You must be hiding something else."
General Ling Liang on the command platform also pricked up her ears.
General Ling Liang had no time for gossip; she was focused on important intelligence. The vanguard had lost a fifth of its forces, and she absolutely could not let this slide.
As Wang Haoyu walked away, Sue of the Fantastic Four casually asked, "What happened? You didn't happen to peek at someone bathing, did you?"
Thor nearly spat out the wine he had just drunk, thinking to himself that he had never told anyone about this, so how could it have spread?
"Hey, hey, it can't be true, can it?" Tony noticed Thor's changed expression and immediately became alert. If it were true, Thor getting beaten made sense. More seriously, his image in the team would be completely ruined.
Thor wiped his tears and explained, "It's all Loki's fault for setting me up! He tricked me into thinking Danvers was waiting in the room to spar, wanting to test how strong the warrior my father valued was. Who knew she was actually taking a bath! There are so many hot springs in Asgard, who would hide in their room to bathe?"
After hearing the explanation, everyone fell silent. This guy was too unlucky to encounter such a blunder. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed strange; bathing places were everywhere in Asgard, yet Danvers chose to bathe in her room... "Too tragic."
"He's really unlucky."
The revised text is as follows:
"Hmph!"
"Lewd!"
"Disgusting!"
Well, these comments either came from the male members or the female team.
But regardless, the members of the Avengers had to admit Thor's unintentional act.
"Time to go. Enough wine, enough stories! We've got work to do!"
"No matter what, the vanguard troops are our people. With such heavy losses, we have to negotiate!"
Tony said as he flexed his wrists and stood up.
The interstellar battle armor covered his entire body like flowing water.
This set of battle armor had long surpassed his early flashy Mark series.
What was so great about fighting on the ground?
This was interstellar battle armor capable of directly confronting Warships in space.
That was true skill.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Amidst a dragging commotion,
the Avengers members successively boarded small Warships and headed for the front line.
Although General Ling Liang's station was in the front-line area,
