I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 211 Tang Yunxuan: The Supreme Lord is actually my brother, Lao Yu!?
"Then, what is that..."

Inside Moonlight Fortress.

Diana stood frozen in place, staring at the unimaginably enormous phantom emerging from the outermost nebula of the P-8808 star system.

The silhouette gave her a strong sense of familiarity.

"A galaxy-level mutant beast?"

"That terrifying galaxy-level mutated beast!?"

Diana's heart nearly stopped as she recalled the scene she had witnessed when she left the star system.

"Not only did it successfully conceive, but it also tracked it beyond the star field..."

Diana murmured, her tone tinged with a hint of bewilderment, and the despair she had felt earlier seemed to have faded somewhat.

For her, and for Moonlight Fortress.

Faced with a host of advanced civilizations, the original outcome would have been certain death.

And now?
The appearance of that terrifying galaxy-level mutated beast might make even advanced civilizations feel troubled, or even cause them to retreat.

"Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope..."

"Take advantage of the chaos..."

Diana's mind raced.

Beyond the star system.

Deep in the starry sky.

Hundreds of massive fortresses fell silent.

Inside the thirteenth fortress of the Kloster civilization.

Fortress Commander-in-Chief Sean Gardner stared intently at the enormous phantom emerging from the nebula.

"A galaxy-level mutant beast?"

"No, it's a fortress..."

"But why is this fortress so massive and has such a high energy level?"

"It's several times stronger than a typical super-large fortress!"

The Thirteenth Fortress, where Sheen Gardner is located, is also a super-large fortress.

Besides this one, the fourteenth and fifteenth fortresses on either side are also of the super-large scale.

but……

Before that enormous phantom.

The colossal fortress on the ceiling of the wasteland galaxy, however, seemed rather tiny compared to an adult, like an infant.

"Lucky player?"

"The player who secured a permanent promotion spot?"

This idea not only arose in Sheen Gardner's mind, but also in the minds of the other commanders of advanced civilizations.

It was just a fleeting moment.

All eyes, including those from the fortress's detection devices, locked onto the fortress fleet where Carol was located.

"Moved!"

"After a month of silence, this is the first time we've taken action!"

They saw—

Carol's fortress fleet, awakened from its silence, rushed toward the outer reaches of the star system at full speed without warning!

this moment.

The civilizations of Kloster and others completely ignored the Moonlight Fortress that had appeared earlier.

A mere medium-sized fortress is nothing compared to players with fixed promotion quotas.

"Follow!"

"We can't let Carol beat us to it!"

The same command was issued to all the fortress fleets of the major advanced civilizations within a single second.

boom--

Boom——!
In the blink of an eye.

In the boundless starry sky beyond the star field, beams of brilliant particle light appeared—the engine trails of fortresses and fleets.

The large and super-large fortresses of the major advanced civilizations stationed in the rear have all taken action.

Like Carol's fleet, they accelerated at full power and roared towards the outermost edge of the star field!

although……

The newly appeared fortress was enormous and exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

but……

It had to face hundreds of super-large fortresses!

this moment.

In advanced civilizations like Kloster, no one felt fear or apprehension; only excitement and greed surged through their hearts!

……

……

Dawn Fortress.

Sky Tower, top of the tower.

Yu Jin stood in front of the wide French windows, gazing at the distant starry sky.

He saw—

Carol's fortress and fleet are advancing at full speed toward Dawn Fortress.

Behind it, hundreds or thousands of fortresses and fleets of varying sizes followed closely.

"Ah--"

"So you're in such a hurry to deliver to my door?"

Yu Jin shook his head and chuckled softly.

He clearly understood the thoughts of Kloster and other civilizations.

And this is exactly the scene he hoped to see.

We will capture them all in one fell swoop and accomplish our goal in one fell swoop!
Now, there are less than five months left until the promotion date.

To break into the top 10,000 in the galaxy within five months, it's clearly impossible without some unconventional methods.

"President..."

Yin Yao, who was standing behind Yu Jin, was not so relaxed at this moment.

She gazed at the vast fortress and fleet hurtling towards her in the distance, a hint of tension showing on her delicate face.

She knew that Yu Jin was very strong and that he had all sorts of cheat-like abilities.

but……

Isn't the number of fortress fleets a bit too much?

"Damn, this is putting some pressure on me!"

On the other side behind the embers.

Chen Gang muttered to himself, but he was already rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

Even before leaving the star system, Ember had told them—

Beyond the star field, a war awaits everyone.

However, neither Chen Gang nor anyone else in the fortress expected that the 'war' that Ember had so casually mentioned would actually be so massive in scale.

The sheer number of large, super-large fortresses...

Enough to easily annihilate any powerful civilization in the galactic wasteland.

And Dawn Fortress?
After all, they're just a newbie faction that recently joined...

"Nyarlathotep will always believe in the Lord!"

Naya, whose little face was still slightly flushed, wasn't thinking about that much at the moment.

She was neither nervous nor excited.

She was still savoring the experience of 'freedom' she had over the past three days...

[Beep!]

Suddenly.

A crisp mechanical notification sound rang out inside the Sky Tower.

[S-1 Super Fortress, requesting communication!]

The Sky Tower is not only the dwelling place of the Embers, but also the main control room of the fortress.

"communication?"

Yin Yao and the others were all stunned when they heard this.

"Is it possible..."

"You still want to persuade us to surrender?"

Hearing their discussion, Yu Jin smiled but remained silent.

Today it is today.

He has not yet revealed the existence of the Carol fleet to Yin Yao and the others.

as well as……

The Carol Fleet is composed of five million players from Earth.

Among them were not only his best friend Lao Tang, but also relatives and friends of Yin Yao and others.

E.g……

Yin Yao's father, Yin Zhenzhong, should also be in the fleet, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Even Yu Jin wasn't sure what position Yin Zhenzhong held in the fleet—commander? Squad leader? Or crew member?

Carol's communications did not mention this information.

boom--

Boom——!
While everyone was discussing it.

Carole's S-1 fortress has arrived at the foot of Dawn Fortress.

Besides.

The other two super-large fortresses, S-2 and S-3, ten medium-sized fortresses including Y-01, the Star Destroyer fleet, the Sigma mech fleet, and the Disintegration Launcher protected in the center by the fortress fleet all arrived at the Dawn Fortress.

"hiss--"

"This fleet, these mechs, they look pretty fierce?"

Chen Gang and his colleagues were on high alert.

Meanwhile, Ember had already activated communication.

【Di-】

[Communication channel established!]

Join now?

A crisp mechanical sound echoed through the Sky Tower.

"join in."

Yu Jin nodded slightly.

The words fell.

Swah——

A huge projection screen appeared in mid-air in front of him. Within the screen were small squares.

Each cell corresponds to an object that has joined the communication channel.

now.

The Sky Tower scene where the embers are located appears at the very top, in the largest grid.

The remaining cells are still in a snowy state for now.

"Eh?"

Yin Yao and the others were stunned once again upon seeing this scene.

【Di-】

[Carol joins the team!]

[A commander under Carol's command has joined!]

【…】

The crisp notification sounds rang out one after another.

The projected image on the light screen was also filled with individual frames.

Ember's gaze fell on the second square.

There, he saw the face of a woman with a striking and heroic air.

It was none other than Carol Alexis.

This commander, whom I had obtained from the eleventh-tier widow's blind box, had done quite a lot for me during the time I hadn't landed in the star system wasteland.

Putting aside everything else, its function as an airdrop coordinate point alone is enough to prove its value.

now.

on the screen.

Carol's face was flushed with excitement and devotion.

"Supreme Lord!"

"Carol, we've finally been waiting for you to arrive!"

These two sentences.

Carol practically shouted it out.

The moment the words fell.

In the picture, she is kneeling on one knee with one hand placed in front of her chest—a gesture that symbolizes the highest respect in her Celtic culture.

"what?"

Carol's two sentences made Yu Jin laugh, but left Yin Yao and the others speechless.

especially……

Jiang Haochuan and the others, who had previously thought that establishing communication was a way to 'persuade' him to surrender, now stared wide-eyed and held their breath.

This direction, this style...

After all that, it turns out the commander of this so-called S-1 super-large fortress is one of our own.
"Supreme Lord!"

"We await your arrival!"

Following Carol, about a dozen other voices came from within the light screen.

"They are the commanders of the Y-01 and other fortress fleets!"

"Lord Lord!"

Carol bowed her head, but did not forget to introduce herself to Ember.

"I know."

The smile on Yu Jin's face deepened.

Just because——

In the light screen, he saw a face that was all too familiar to him.

That was the communications screen of the commander of Y-03 Fortress.

in the screen.

Tang Yunxuan lowered his head, knelt on one knee, and placed one hand in front of his chest, making the same welcoming gesture as Carol.

Perhaps it was Carol's prior instruction to show respect to the 'Supreme Lord', Tang Yunxuan and the other dozen or so commanders all looked down at the ground, none of them daring to look directly at the embers in the light screen.

only……

They dared not look at Yu Jin, but on Yu Jin's side, Yin Yao and the others could see the scene in the picture clearly.

"Holy crap!?"

"Old, Old Tang?"

Chen Gang practically screamed at the top of his lungs.

As Yu Jin's roommate, Chen Gang and his best friend Tang Yunxuan were also very close.

That's why, even though Tang Yunxuan had his head down and only half his face was visible, Chen Gang recognized him at a glance.

"Father, father..."

Inside the Sky Tower, besides Chen Gang, the most shocked person was Yin Yao.

She was completely speechless at this point.

Her eyes were fixed on the Y-02 commander's communications screen.

In the picture, a middle-aged man with a square face is kneeling on one knee with a solemn expression.

That was Yin Zhenzhong, the commander of Y-02 Fortress, and also her biological father!

Jiang Haochuan also recognized Yin Zhenzhong.

"Sister, brother-in-law?!"

Jiang Haochuan was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that he would meet his brother-in-law here, after leaving the star field!
and……

Judging from this situation, it seems that my brother-in-law has become one of Yu Jin's subordinates.

In their words, he is 'the supreme lord'.

At the moment when Yin Yao, Jiang Haochuan, and others lost their composure and spoke out in Chen Gang.

Among the stars.

Inside the Y-02 and Y-03 fortresses.

Tang Yunxuan and Yin Zhenzhong, who had been trembling and keeping their heads down, were now filled with a storm of emotions!
"This, this sound..."

Tang Yunxuan's body trembled slightly.

He recognized Chen Gang's voice.

The nickname "Old Tang" further confirmed his claim.

but……

How come Chen Gang's voice is coming from the Supreme Lord's communication channel?

Tang Yunxuan didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked!

If Carol hadn't repeatedly told him that he absolutely must not look directly at the lord without permission, Tang Yunxuan would have loved to see for himself what was going on!

the other side.

Inside Y-02 Fortress.

Yin Zhenzhong's reaction was much stronger than Tang Yunxuan's.

This usually composed fortress commander, who had received numerous praises from Carol, couldn't hold back any longer after hearing his daughter's voice.

For the first time ever.

He wanted to break the rule Carol had set, so he secretly looked up at the communication screen to see what was going on...

"Ok?"

Inside the Sky Tower, Ember raised an eyebrow slightly as he observed the reactions of the two.

Why aren't you looking up? Aren't you looking at me?

As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking.

Carol then spoke respectfully:
"Without permission, we dare not look directly at Your Lordship's face!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin silently rubbed his forehead.

"Look up."

He spoke helplessly.

The words fell.

Swah——

Swish-

In the light projection, Tang Yunxuan and Yin Zhenzhong looked up at almost the speed of light.

Just for a moment.

The two stared wide-eyed, their minds completely blank!
What Tang Yunxuan saw was not Chen Gang, but the embers in front of Chen Gang!
What Yin Zhenzhong saw was not Yin Yao, but the embers in front of Yin Yao!
In the largest image on the light screen, symbolizing the highest status, standing at the very center and foremost position is Ember!
And the words 'Look up' just now came from Yu Jin!

"Lord, Lord?"

Tang Yunxuan was stuttering when he spoke.

He never would have imagined this...

The Supreme Lord whom Carol has always revered as a god is her good brother, Ember!

"Long time no see, Lao Tang."

Yu Jin responded with a smile.

A sentence fell.

Tang Yunxuan sobbed and couldn't utter a single word.

Even Carol, upon hearing their conversation, widened her eyes and stood frozen in place.

boom--

Boom——!
This reunion did not continue.

The roar of the fortress fleet echoed throughout the entire starry sky.

but it is……

The fortresses of advanced civilizations such as Kloster have already been reached.

They surrounded the Dawn Fortress from all sides.

even……

Even the Carroll Fortress fleet was surrounded.

"That's a bit of a letdown."

Ember turned his head and looked at the vast array of fortresses of all sizes in the starry sky, and sighed softly.

The words fell.

boom--

Boom——!
In the void.

The commotion was even greater than the arrival of hundreds of super-large fortresses.

Three enormous phantoms, even larger than those of Dawn Fortress, slowly emerged from the void.

And these three illusory figures...

It will surround hundreds of fortresses of civilizations such as Kloster that are surrounding Dawn Fortress!
