Super Mechanic: The God of Superpowers!

Chapter 193 Confrontation
A starship slowly left the desolate star field, and the colorful starlight outside the porthole filled the field of vision like broken diamonds.

Stephanie leaned on the observation deck with her chin supported by one hand, gazing at the star clusters pouring out like the Milky Way ahead, and raised the corners of her mouth lazily:
"Finally, we're here. This pile of glass-like star rings is our destination?"

"With over a million players logging off en masse, the size of the group has shrunk threefold. We need to rethink things."

In the dark blue cockpit of the Blacklight Mecha, Ye Xiu rubbed his temples.

He glanced at the too-young face reflected in the dashboard.

He is less than 3.0 years old physically, but by the time version is released, people will call him uncle.

However, as an A-class super-powered being and a Void hybrid, with a lifespan of two to three hundred years at the very least, he would still be an interstellar young hunk in ten years.

Calling up the holographic star map, he began to outline the blueprint for the next ten years.

The wealth accumulated by version 2.0 is quite substantial: more than secret bases in the Garton sector, more than modified ships, and nearly million Enas in the account, not to mention the legion reputation accumulated by players through countless tasks.

Now that we don’t have that group of players who come with their own resurrection armor, we have to treat NPC mercenaries like treasures.

Not only do they have to recruit freelance mercenaries at high prices, but they also have to spend money to build training bases to support new recruits.

He paused as his fingertips slid across the combat power report. Currently, he and the talkative adjutant Laki were the only ones holding the A-level.

Ye Xiu wrote down a few names on the memo: Those troublemakers of Fording needed to be disciplined, and it was time to urge Sylvia to speed up her progress.

Thinking of his secretary who always spilled coffee on documents, he suddenly felt a little stomachache.

This girl's 3.0 version is going to transform into an A-level combat force, so we have to hurry up and let her evolve from a rookie to a reliable assistant.

The star map suddenly popped up an encrypted communication from the Amethyst Civilization, and Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes.

The secret war in the Krent star field is like a piece of sizzling barbecue, hot but very delicious.

Joining the Zero Organization can not only obtain cutting-edge technology, but also increase Amethyst's favorability, and the most important thing is.

The rewards of war are much faster than simply farming. Once you've accumulated enough merit to secure a long-term contract at the Star Cluster level, you can begin transforming your legion.

However, those old organizations are not easy to deal with. Arc Light and Hero Group are both eyeing them covetously.

Ye Xiu pulled up the arms list and calculated: With two thousand warships as a trump card, we should be able to grab a good first victory at the beginning of the war.

The experience points stored in the personal panel are about to overflow. Once the job transfer task is completed, I can reach level 200 in minutes.

Although the threshold of Super A-level is still far away, it should not be a problem to beat ordinary A-level by maxing out the dozen or so legendary specialties in stock.

"The respect relationship needs to be raised to 6,000"

Seeing the Purple Crystal Civilization progress bar stuck at 5800, Ye Xiu sent an encrypted message to Sylvia:
"Donate 30% of the black market supplies you looted last time to the Amethyst Relief Agency. Remember to find a reporter to film the video."

The mecha vibrated slightly as he chuckled, and the starlight outside the porthole flowed like a pile of chips on the gambling table pouring towards him.

……

After formulating the development plan, Ye Xiu quickly issued a number of instructions as soon as he returned to the base.

The first priority was to narrow the scope of business. Having lost millions of high-quality workers, Ye Xiu significantly reduced the frequency of commissions the Alien Legion accepted.

Another part of the funds is used to recruit external forces.

Currently, the Alien Legion has more than 100,000 official mercenaries. Ye Xiu plans to expand this scale by another 40% to 50%. Funding is not a problem at all.

The collective disappearance of millions of players also attracted the attention of other mercenaries. Although everyone was full of questions, Ye Xiu did not give any explanation.

No matter how much they speculated, it couldn't change the established facts. Although the higher-ups, aware of the Inhuman's special nature, were surprised, they didn't lose their composure.

After all, the old subordinates who have followed Ye Xiu for many years have long been accustomed to the immortality of the players. What they are more worried about is the challenges the legion will face after the disappearance of the aliens.

Ye Xiu summoned all senior officials for this purpose. Inside the meeting room, from Caroline, the earliest follower, to Laki, the latest to join, all the senior officials arrived one after another.

Ye Xiu went straight to the point: "The aliens have disappeared en masse again, and their return date is uncertain.

However, the invasion of the Krent Civilization could break out at any time. We must accept the employment of the Amethyst Civilization as members of Organization Zero and participate in the war. Everyone must be fully prepared for the war."

"Laky, you are the only Calamity-level fighter besides me. If the battle becomes stalemate, we may need to split up."

Ye Xiu said as he looked at the gloomy Laki, who was muttering, "Every time I fight, I feel like I'm going to die here. This time, I'm sure I won't be able to escape."

Ye Xiu's mouth twitched slightly. Just for this reverse poisonous healing, it could at least reduce Laki's chance of death by half.

Suddenly, Caroline's cold voice rang out: "Commander, he may not be the only Calamity-level one."

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the usually serious female officer smiled for the first time:

"Five days ago, I successfully broke through to the Calamity Level and officially became an A-rank superpower. This is all thanks to the leader's careful guidance."

The sudden good news lifted Ye Xiu's spirits. Including Caroline, the Legion now boasted three Calamity-grade fighters, more than half of the total number of members of Agency Zero.

This capable young man who joined the team several years ago finally completed his transformation at this critical juncture, which can be regarded as timely relief.

An undercurrent suddenly surged in the conference room: Fording maintained his signature smile, Sylvia clenched her fists in a secret rivalry, and Aroshia was still immersed in her own world, lost in thought.

Ye Xiu's gaze swept over the mechanical girl.

The [Restart] mission is still in the second stage. Previously, the coordinates of most memory fragments have been locked by players, and only the last fragment located in a remote star field has not been recovered.

It wasn't that Ye Xiu was delaying, but the ultimate mission goal revealed by Ruisida was really difficult: to face the Beyond Grade A old monster like Manison from the "Mechanical Country".

Before he gained enough strength, he would rather put this mission on hold temporarily. After all, no one wanted to provoke members of the Ancient Alliance.

……

In addition to the alien army, all members of Agency Zero are stepping up preparations and frantically expanding their combat forces.

Just half a month later, the entire Shattered Star Ring was suddenly detonated by heavy news, and all parts of the star field fell into violent shock.

The war domain suddenly crossed the desolate universe belt and launched a surprise attack on the Colton Star Cluster!

This attack completely tore apart the peaceful appearance that had been maintained between Krent and Amethyst for many years, and the secret war between the two civilizations finally came to a head!

Like the ignition of a chain reaction fuse, the turbulent situation brought about by the red tide is completely out of control!
The friction among the seven star cluster-level civilizations came out from the shadows, and countless forces started fighting in various parts of the star field.

The entire Broken Star Ring fell into a vortex of chaos, and the survivors huddled together for warmth.

The most dangerous era of chaos in nearly a hundred years has officially begun!
All members of Agency Zero received an emergency call-up order from Amethyst, requiring them to rush to the front line immediately.

As Ye Xiu checked the transfer order, a system prompt popped up in front of him. [Triggered S-rank strategic mission [Secret War - Amethyst Faction]!]
[Mission Description: The Krent Empire launches a surprise attack on the Amethyst Civilization. You have chosen to join the Amethyst camp to resist.]
[Operation Objective: Obey the command of Unit Zero and annihilate all enemy forces invading the Colton Star Cluster]
[Task rewards will be distributed according to the final evaluation level]
[Special note: This strategic task can be evaluated in three ways]
[1. Complete special tactical instructions]
[2. Destroy/capture enemy combat units]
[3. Achieve overall strategic goals]
"It is indeed the main storyline of version 3.0." Ye Xiu showed an expected smile.

This S-level mission was originally an epic battle that players could participate in by choosing the Krent or Amethyst camp after the version update.

Now that he has joined Agency Zero in advance, he has been automatically bound to the Amethyst Camp.

According to previous life memories, when the player returned to the game after the version update, the war had already entered the decisive stage.

Although the mission will be evaluated differently depending on the outcome, even the loser will receive basic rewards. Of course, no one wants to be a loser.

According to the summary of the player community, there are three major suicidal behaviors that will seriously affect the evaluation: disobeying military orders, switching sides in the battle, and failing to defend/capture the target galaxy before the intervention of interstellar civilization.

"The mission is now activated ten years in advance." Ye Xiu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

This means that his mission cycle will span the entire version update period, and it will take at least ten years to complete the settlement.

But on the other hand, this also means that he has a full ten years more to gain military merit than ordinary players.

"It seems I'll have to spend the next ten years on the battlefield, but that's just as well. I've had enough leisure time these past few years."

Ye Xiu grabbed the tactical windbreaker hanging on the back of the chair, and the communicator in his palm flashed silver light: "Pipijia, notify everyone to enter combat readiness and gather in orbit in three hours."

……

Between the Sol Cluster controlled by Krent and the Colton Cluster controlled by Amethyst lies a vast, desolate cosmic vacuum zone.

After the conflict between the two sides escalated, the official star gate channel has been temporarily blocked, and now only "gray shuttle" can be carried out through the wasteland.

The huge fleet sent by the War Realm has just broken through the Desolate Belt and quietly entered the West Wind Galaxy on the border of Colton.

This vanguard force, serving as a test force, has a luxurious lineup.

Led by fifteen expedition-class battleships, supplemented by thousands of various frigates, assault ships and special ships, the total number of ships has exceeded five digits.

The lineup of powerful warriors accompanying the army was equally dazzling. Among the twenty-six disaster-level super-powered people, seven of the eight vanguard officers under the Tyrant were included.

Commander-in-chief Qiao De, who is in charge of the rear, is the number one figure in the war field staff. He is not only an A-level strongman, but also a confidant who has followed the Tyrant for many years.

"The latest intelligence shows that Amethyst has begun mobilizing troops."

Jode, in the holographic projection, was presiding over a remote combat meeting. "Your first priority is to seize the pre-marked uninhabited planets and establish bases using the war fortress modules supported by the Scarlet Empire. Remember, the native forces of the West Wind Galaxy have neither the position nor the courage to intervene in this secret war."

The only person missing from the meeting at this time was the Chief Pioneer Officer, but everyone had already gotten used to it.

That being has always placed great emphasis on cultivation, and as long as it does not interfere with the battle, no one would ask him to attend such a routine meeting.

Joad pulled up the star map and continued his analysis: “Not all galaxies in the Colton Cluster are loyal to Amethyst, and most civilizations are neutral about the change of power.

We need to show goodwill and avoid friction with local forces."

Due to the Peace Treaty, cluster-level civilizations cannot go to war directly.

Krent's real strategy is to gradually erode through proxies. As long as the war domain can take root in the target galaxy, it will continue to weaken Amethyst's control and eventually make these areas out of Amethyst's actual control.

This model is like gangs fighting for territory. They have to defend it after grabbing it, and it is destined to be a long-lasting tug-of-war.

Regarding the question of combat power that everyone was concerned about, Second Vanguard Officer Shu Ren stroked his chin and pondered, "Unit Zero has at least a hundred Calamity-class soldiers, and we have so few."

"Amethyst's troop deployment speed is no faster than ours." Jode interrupted confidently, "The first round of confrontations is just a test of each other. The brother forces in other galaxies will disperse their forces."

In fact, the war field has long been different from what it used to be. With Krent's secret support, they are fully capable of opening up battlefields in multiple galaxies at the same time.

After the holographic image went off, the commanders of each ship returned to their posts one after another.

Outside the porthole, the stars of the West Wind Galaxy were casting their cold light on the metal fleet, giving the impending collision a pale background.

The conference screen suddenly flashed, and a holographic image was connected to the channel without warning.

All the officers present raised their heads, and the combat staff straightened their backs and saluted at the same time.

"The boss is here."

The man in the projection exuded an aura of formidable character. His dark red skin looked like solidified plasma, and his entire face looked like the edges of a rock chopped out by an axe.

The most eye-catching thing was the scales on his face, which spread from his temples to the base of his neck, making him look like a Tyrannosaurus Rex wearing human skin.

The tendon meat that couldn't even be covered by the mecha was half a head taller than Mazaks.

Frost Slott. The Tyrant's top fighter, a man whose name alone could make a child stop crying.

People on the street called him "War Mad Dragon" or "Iron Fist of the Tyrant", and he had done a lot of dirty work for Heber over the years.

"Do you have any ideas?" Joad raised half an eyebrow.

The dragon-blooded hybrid didn't even look at him, and spoke with a fiery tone: "I don't care about others, but I have to deal with that bastard from the alien planet."

That fierce look was a spitting image of Tyrant. Ye Xiu in the Amethyst camp narrowed his eyes. The people in the War Domain had been eyeing him for a long time.

Although Tyrant himself didn't care about the last time Kylo was beaten on Heber's territory, the man before him was a mad dog who worshipped his master as a god.

Wizard Austin was floating in his own lair, teaching his apprentices, his round body swaying under his red robe.

While there was chaos outside, he, as a neutral person, had a lot of free time.

When talking about the construction of magic circuits, the fat wizard suddenly got stuck. He turned his chubby face to the window, his eyes seemed to be looking through the entire starry sea.

The inexplicable palpitations just now came out of nowhere. The image of the Colton Cluster and that alien planet that always caused trouble kept lingering in my mind.

At his level, his sixth sense is more accurate than the prophecy crystal.

"Amethyst and Krent are at each other's throats," he muttered, pulling at his goatee. "What the hell does it have to do with me?"

The two civilizations were openly fighting for territory, but secretly they were both cleaning up the civilian armed forces. He knew all the twists and turns. So when the two sides sent people to discuss cooperation, he simply had his apprentices splash the other party with magic tea.

After counting on his fat fingers for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and the fat on his face trembled: "So that's what's going on!"

He casually pointed to a few black-robed apprentices who looked like they were silent: "Go, bring my people back. If that kid doesn't let go..."

He took out a biscuit with a spell on it and took a bite. "Just say it was Old Ao's idea. He knows the rules."
