Chapter 394: 394: Arrival of the Black Pearl (3rd update)

Following Ya Xuan’s orders, the squadron crossed the Indian Ocean and arrived above the Australian mainland.

“Captain, ahead is the Sydney Ancient City Ruins, the place where we discovered the shadow.”

“Lock onto the coordinates and speed up. I want to see what’s hiding under that shadow!”

The spaceship accelerated, emitting a piercing sound in the air as it rapidly approached the old city area of Sydney.

Sydney was once the largest city here, but after the God Transformation Day began, the people of Australia were confined on the island with nowhere to escape, eventually leading to the nation’s demise. The once-prosperous Sydney became a wasteland.

“It’s right there, the Olympic Center. It is said that this stadium hosted some Olympic Games. This is the location of the shadow.”

“Land.”

The spaceship slowly descended.

However, before they could land, something unexpected happened!

A strong Holy Light suddenly burst out from inside the stadium and directly hit the descending spaceship!

Although this spaceship was small, it was still a product of the technology of the Tianhe Empire, far stronger than any Earth aircraft. Even ordinary missiles could hardly bring it down, but the intensity of this Holy Light exceeded their expectations!

Boom!

“Alert! Alert, the spaceship has suffered a heavy blow, the control system is damaged, and it will self-destruct in thirty seconds. Please evacuate as soon as possible!”

“Damn it! Who are these people? This Holy Light’s power is something that even an ordinary Satellite Stage has a hard time emitting. Is there a Satellite Stage person guarding here?”

The Satellite Stage squadron leader and his team broke open the cabin door to escape, but as soon as they came out, another intense Holy Light bombarded them.

“Judgment of Light!”

This time, only the Satellite Stage squad leader and three Comet Stage experts managed to escape while the remaining seven at Comet Stage were reduced to ashes under the impact of the Judgment of Light.

“Who the hell are you?”

The squadron leader was furious, with his Star Power pouring out around him. He pulled out his weapon and entered a combat mode.

Inside the stadium, a group of people in white robes rose into the air.

One of the people in white robes was Baggio. Now a Comet Level 9, Baggio was followed by twenty Ascetic monks who had reached the Comet Stage. As they floated in the air, their powerful Holy Light energy stirred around them, causing the squadron leader to secretly feel alarmed.

“Who are you? Are Lin Zhen’s family here?”

“No comment. Your only choice is to leave.”

Baggio’s mission was to protect Lin Zhen’s parents and two girlfriends here. Now that the aliens had arrived, he naturally had to fight.

“You Earth people have just killed citizens of a higher civilization, committing an unforgivable sin! Don’t think that your combined attack skill is invincible. You only gained an advantage because you launched a sneak attack earlier; there won’t be such an opportunity next time. Let’s go.”

The Satellite Stage squad leader was not afraid. At most, these Earth people were only Comet Level 9, absolutely not his match.

Along with three Comet Late Stage warriors, the four of them pounced violently on Baggio and the Ascetic monks.

The battle between the two sides began in the old city area of Sydney. However, the combat was not as one-sided as the squadron leader had imagined, but rather turned into a stalemate.

The Ascetic monks fought systematically and demonstrated powerful combined attacks. Centered on Baggio, they never acted recklessly. Relying on their strong Holy Light power, they clashed with their opponents, like a porcupine bristling with spikes, leaving them unable to find an opening to attack.

At this time, three groups of people were rushing towards Sydney.

One was Lin Zhen’s main body, rapidly approaching from the Bermuda marine area, less than a thousand kilometers away from here.

Another group had set out from Hua Xia, led by Ya Xuan himself. As soon as the squadron’s spacecraft was destroyed, he realized something was wrong and immediately led his troops to attack from Hua Xia.

The last group was on the Black Pearl.

At this time, the Black Pearl had reached its maximum speed of 1,500 kilometers per second, which was unmatched by any Earth aircraft.

The azure blue planet ahead had already appeared on the radar coordinates.

“Master, we’re still 1.5 star miles from Earth.”

One star mile was a million kilometers, so 1.5 star miles meant the Black Pearl needed nearly seventeen more minutes to reach Earth.

“Hmm, maintain the speed and adjust the coordinates to the old city of Sydney on the Australian mainland.”

Ten minutes later, Lin Zhen’s main body was the first to arrive at the battlefield in Sydney.

The Ascetic monks were almost unable to hold on any longer. Although they had killed the three Comet Stage opponents, they couldn’t stand against the Satellite Level 4 Squadron leader. Ten Ascetic monks had already been killed in battle.

Lin Zhen’s main body did not escape the notice of the Satellite Stage expert. When he saw Lin Zhen, his face even showed an incredulous delight.

“Hahaha! Lin Zhen, you finally appeared. Perfect, this time we’ll catch you all in one net.”

Lin Zhen sneered, suddenly teleporting and quickly appearing before the Satellite Stage expert.

He didn’t use his Yin-Yang Spear, but directly threw himself at the Satellite Stage expert with open arms.

“Seeking death!”

The Satellite Stage expert raised his sword, intending to slay Lin Zhen.

But at this moment, the speed of Lin Zhen in front of him suddenly increased!

He originally thought the other party’s speed had reached its limit, but it could actually double again, reaching him in an instant, and holding him tightly with both arms!

“Baggio! Judgment of Light!”

Lin Zhen gave Baggio an order, and Baggio had already prepared as well, gathering the power of the remaining ten ascetic monks to unleash a powerful Judgment of Light upon Lin Zhen and the Satellite Stage!

“You can’t take me down with you! You can’t hold me!”

The Satellite Stage was shocked, thinking that Lin Zhen was trying to bring him down together with him. He had participated in many battles to conquer other planets, but he didn’t want to be Lin Zhen’s backup. He was a high-ranking civilization citizen, and his life was worth more than Lin Zhen’s.

It was already too late to shake off Lin Zhen, so he rushed towards the side, with his Star Power, he should be able to break free from Lin Zhen’s grasp.

Lin Zhen showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: “Don’t struggle, you are dead.”

Foldable Space!

Dark Star operated the Foldable Space, trapping both Lin Zhen and the captain within.

The captain’s efforts to escape slammed into the Space Barrier, achieving nothing.

With a thought, Lin Zhen removed the Foldable Space, and at this moment, Baggio’s Holy Light arrived.

The huge pillar of light shot towards the sky, and the captain closed his eyes in pain before he died, thinking that he had ended up as a back-up for Lin Zhen, and it wasn’t worth it.

However, he didn’t know that Lin Zhen had already mastered the Light Quantum, and was immune to Holy Light. The only person who was truly vaporized by the Holy Light was him.

It was precisely because Baggio knew this that he didn’t hesitate to use the Judgment of Light against Lin Zhen.

Watching his body disintegrating in mid-air, Lin Zhen clapped his hands: “You thought I wanted to die with you, yet you didn’t realize that your life was truly worthless compared to mine.”

After accomplishing the feat, Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate and immediately rushed into the gymnasium.

Inside the gymnasium, Lin Liye and Li Qin, were anxiously watching the battle outside with An Ning and Yue’er by their side.

Seeing Lin Zhen enter, the four of them let out a long sigh of relief.

Parents, two girlfriends, everyone’s eyes were a bit red, looking at Lin Zhen, they saw the backbone.

Unknowingly, Lin Zhen had become the support of everyone, and in the face of a powerful Extraterrestrial Civilization, Lin Zhen was the only hope of Earth’s people.

Feeling apologetic, Lin Zhen walked to his loved ones: “Uh… Dad, Mom, Ah Ning, and Yue’er, I’m really sorry, but I promise this kind of thing won’t happen again in the future.”

Lin Liye nodded, “It’s okay, your mother and the two of them have been worried.”

Li Qin shook her head: “Don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense, I’m a War General now, I’m not as fragile as before.”

An Ning and Su Mingyue gazed at Lin Zhen with love-filled eyes, making Lin Zhen’s heart warm.

However, now isn’t the time for these things. Lin Zhen asked his family: “Is the Black Ghost still there?”

“Yes, it’s in the warehouse.”

“Come on, let’s go up. Those aliens from Hua Xia are coming, they’ll be here in a minute. We have to buy a few minutes.”

“Will buying a few minutes be useful?” Li Qin was worried.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

Everyone, including Baggio and the ascetic monks, boarded the Black Ghost, Earth’s best-performing flying vehicle, and flew straight towards the atmosphere.

As soon as they took off, Ya Xuan’s fleet arrived.

“Lord Ya Xuan, look, that flying vehicle belongs to Lin Zhen, they seem to be trying to break through the atmosphere and escape!”

“Thinking of running? Can they escape? Give chase, and try to catch them alive. As long as we catch Lin Zhen, Hua Xia will completely submit to us.”

Ya Xuan’s fleet immediately chased after Lin Zhen’s Black Ghost.

Although the Black Ghost was the best flying vehicle on Earth, it was far behind the technology of the Tianhe Empire. In less than a minute, it was caught up by Ya Xuan’s fleet.

“Prepare the Trap Web, catch this little fly, and make it a fish in a barrel!” Ya Xuan sneered.

The Trap Web was a huge metal net projected by the energy cannons, capable of enveloping small flying vehicles.

Just as they were about to fire, a huge shadow came from the sky above.

“Warning! Warning! All personnel, please be aware of an unidentified flying object is approaching us!”

“Warning! Warning! Unidentified flying object identified as the Black Pearl…”

Beep Beep Beep Beep!!!

The harsh alarm kept ringing; the name “Black Pearl” shocked everyone, including Ya Xuan.

“Damn it! How did those bastards from the Black Pearl get to this star domain? Even the Empire hasn’t fully explored here yet, how could they be here?”

“It’s over! It’s over, I haven’t even gotten married yet. I’m a soldier of the Empire, I don’t want to be a pirate’s slave!”

“I knew I should have brought the war fortress. At least there would be some resistance. Take a look at this place; this shitty firepower can’t compete with them.”

“Look closely! Lin Zhen’s flying vehicle is being captured by the Black Pearl!”

Ya Xuan looked up and saw that Lin Zhen’s Black Ghost had flown straight into the huge hull of the Black Pearl!
