Chapter 310 Suppressing the Great Rift, Beginning

Outside the city, dark clouds loomed, lightning flashed and thunder roared, visibility was no more than fifty meters. Through this fog, the thirteen cities continued their advance.

"The main objective of this operation is singular: to suppress this Great Rift operational area." In the conference room of the Thirteen Cities, all the operators were seated. Seventh Sister and Hatch, as always, stood before the display screen explaining the mission details: "Currently, the Fourth Joint Operation Squadron is launching an attack; however, the Klaxosaurs' counterattack is fierce, and the battle has reached a stalemate. The Thirteenth Unit will next join forces with the units of the other four cities, becoming the Sixth Joint Operation Squadron."

Xin raised her hand and asked, "What's in that big crack?"

Seventh Sister and Hachi exchanged a glance, then nodded to each other. Seventh Sister explained, "You might need to be mentally prepared about this."

The scene shifts on the screen, revealing buildings barely visible amidst a thick fog. These buildings appear remarkably like black walls.

"What? Black walls?" He stared in shock.

The screen then shifted again, showing a continuous stream of dragons bursting out of the black wall to fight against the human forces outside.

"What happened? What on earth happened?" Future asked in shock.

The scene finally froze in the sky, revealing the black wall seen through the mist—it was the Great Eco-Fortress! The Great Eco-Fortress that protected humanity had become a habitat for Klaxosaurs? On the battlefield, one or two mechs were desperately fighting off hordes of Klaxosaurs, while others lay completely destroyed. Everyone who witnessed this was stunned, their hearts pounding in their chests.

"This is clearly on a completely different scale compared to previous battles," Man said calmly, despite his shock.

"Suppressing the Great Rift has been a long-held wish of our fathers, and for us humans, this will be the most important battle ever," Hatch said.

"Hey, look!" Goro seemed to have seen something even more shocking, and he made everyone look at the big screen.

Jing Chen, who usually paid no attention to such things, looked up and saw a large group of mechs approaching the battlefield through the mist. Leading them was a mech with golden eyes. Jing Chen was surprised; wasn't that… Strelitzia? Behind Strelitzia were four Type 9 mechs, exclusive to Type 9!

"As expected, she tore all the enemies to pieces. What a disobedient wild girl." Inside the mobile aerial fortress, the Doctor, along with his "fathers," watched the battle. Seeing Strelitzia's condition, the Doctor said in a tone that said, "I knew it."

"Finally... if we can break through the great rift, our long-cherished wish will be within reach!"

"The construction of the spirit ship is also progressing smoothly."

"As long as both conditions are met, they can be returned to dust."

"The time has finally come."

"What about codename Zero? If we send him, the Great Rift will be no problem at all," the doctor asked.

"The uncertainty surrounding the code name Zero is too great. Rather than choosing someone with such a high degree of uncertainty, it's better to use Zero Two."

The doctor didn't speak, but turned and left. A voice sounded behind him again: "Where are you going, Berno?"

The doctor didn't stop, continuing to walk and saying, "How can I stay here at a time like this? I need to have a good look around in first class."

……

On the battlefield, the Strelitzia roared and charged into the horde of Klaxosaurs. It leaped high, bit into one of the Klaxosaurs, and tore it apart, killing it instantly.

"Zero Two?" Jing Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Mei placed her hand on the back of Jing Chen's hand, holding it tightly. Jing Chen glanced at it, couldn't help but chuckle, and looked up at the screen, saying, "This looks so fun, I want to go too!"

"No, Zero, you can't drive the Strelitzia. It's too dangerous in a place like that," said Seventh Sister.

Jing Chen smiled. "Dangerous? I wouldn't go if it wasn't dangerous."

……

"Operations Headquarters has ordered the Sixth Joint Squadron to prepare for attack," a staff member said in the command room.

Seventh Sister gave the order: "Everyone, prepare to attack!"

Everyone gathered in the corridor; except for Jing Chen, everyone else had already changed into their combat uniforms. The man sitting above the head stood up, crossed his arms behind his head, and said, "Okay, I'll go take out a few and come back."

Tai walked up to Jing Chen, put a hand on Jing Chen's shoulder and said, "Ling, don't steal my food."

Watching everyone leave one by one, Jing Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Indeed, he didn't have much strength left, and going to the Great Rift wouldn't be of much help. Since that was the case, he would focus on recovering his soul power. Once his soul power was restored, the Great Rift would be his stage.

"Don't look so down. We'll be fine. You don't need to worry about anything." The group stood in the corridor, turning back to look at Jing Chen with confidence. Wu Lang also said.

"Mm." Jing Chen nodded gently.

Mei said, "Jingchen, you have to stay here obediently. After the battle, I'll teach you how to control it from the beginning."

Jing Chen chuckled softly, "Okay, everyone, come back safely."

On the battlefield, the three large ecological fortresses were parked together, and all the mechs in the three large ecological fortresses were ready. Sister Seven's voice came: "Target, coordinates F2, all mechs move out!" All the mechs in the three large ecological fortresses rushed towards coordinates F2.

The four Type 9 mechs moved with ease amidst the massive horde of Klaxosaurs. They were even able to split up and launch coordinated attacks, eliminating a large number of Klaxosaurs in one fell swoop.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's like having several Strelitzia!" Mirai exclaimed in amazement after witnessing the 9s' battle.

"Let's go too!" Ichigo said with great enthusiasm.

……

Inside the Great Eco-Fortress, Jing Chen walked through the dormitory area, looking around at everything, and shook his head helplessly. "No, there's absolutely no spiritual energy here. Although the vegetation is growing very well, it seems magma energy is far too important to this world. Without magma energy, this world is a dead star... right?"

Jing Chen glanced at it a few more times, then turned and walked into the newly opened portal. Stepping through the portal, Jing Chen returned to the Hundred Flowers Garden. This time, only Xiao Wu was there; the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Xiao Wu, why are you alone? Where are the others?" Jing Chen asked.

"Brother! You're back! They went to soak in the hot springs behind there." Xiao Wu said, pointing to a large mountain in the distance behind Jing Chen.

Jing Chen turned around in surprise. "There's a hot spring over there? How come I didn't know?"

Xiao Wu, resting her chin on her hand, said, "It was Icarus, Nymph, and Astraea who discovered it. They were busy preparing for the hot springs just a few days ago, and they only finished yesterday before going there today."

Jing Chen asked, "Then why aren't you going?"

Xiao Wu shook her head, "I don't want to go."

Jing Chen smiled wickedly, "Don't want to go? Then..." With that, he picked up Xiao Wu and carried her into the house.

"elder brother……!"

When Jing Chen emerged again, ten hours had passed. He estimated the time, slightly adjusted the flow of time, found a mountain with exceptionally beautiful scenery, and at the summit, had the system set up a spirit-gathering array. He then sat in meditation at the center of the array to begin recovering his soul power.
