The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"because……"

Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the data on the screen: "According to the monitoring instruments of the command headquarters, among the enemy troops that crossed the boundary, there are seventeen... no, at least seventeen unknown units that surpass the source level."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the entire conference room froze.

Even the breathing of the crowd stopped for a few seconds, everyone's eyes widened, and many people even stood up from their seats.

What the hell?

Units beyond the source level?

To reiterate, the Source level is already the ceiling for professionals on Earth.

Now, Jiang Shu is saying "at least seventeen" or "beyond the Origin level."

Li Tiezhu felt his head buzzing: "Staff Officer Jiang, are you sure you didn't misread the data? It's seventeen, not one? Not seven?"

"The peak value of the monitoring band has been highlighted in red."

Jiang Shu pushed the tablet towards everyone, and the light screen projected an energy trend chart of the Northwest Defense Line above the conference table.

The beams of light representing high-energy reactions were so dense they resembled a thicket of thorns.

Gu Xu stared at the chart, tapping his fingers twice on the table.

For a brief moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

The fact that units surpassing the Source level came in groups is clearly not something that native elves could do.

Even if those pointy-eared people dug up their ancestral graves, they still couldn't gather this many high-end combatants.

"Are they those guys from Star Ocean?"

After a moment, Gu Xu leaned back in his chair and spoke calmly.

Previously, he had a head-on fight with the projection of the Lord of the Dimensions, Zogra, summoned by the agent of the Dimensional Gods, Munedimi, in the Northern Alliance.

Admittedly, he had indeed destroyed the false god projection, but he had also been exposed to those guys' watchful eyes.

You see, those guys are always trying to devour it and gain the authority of the Old Ones.

Therefore, the other side gathered a powerful army to cross over and annihilate them.

Logically, it makes perfect sense.

However… the efficiency was really high. I hadn’t even settled in my seat before the other party arrived?

Of course, they went astray and ended up on the northwest defense line, where they attacked the Qiongqi Legion.

"What are the instructions from the Supreme Command? Has Commander Li been withdrawn?"

Thinking of this, Gu Xu stopped tapping his fingers on the table and looked at Jiang Shu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu quickly lowered her head and refreshed the intelligence page again: "No, that's all for now, there's no further information."

What does "there's no follow-up" mean?

Li Tiezhu pressed for an answer.

"It means exactly what it says."

Jiang Shu shook his head: "The subsequent report from the command headquarters shows that all signal sources on the northwest defense line disappeared five minutes ago."

"The Qiongqi Legion command headquarters... and all communication base stations within the defense zone have lost contact. The command headquarters' communications department attempted to establish backup links, but all attempts were forcibly blocked by an unknown energy field."

These words caused silence to fall over the meeting room once again.

Because two words popped into everyone's head at the same time.

Lost contact.

In a dimensional warfare system, the complete loss of communication between the command headquarters and the supreme command of a main force often means only one thing.

That is, the command post no longer exists.

In other words, those high-energy units not only tore through the defenses, but also carried out a decapitation strike in a very short time, directly shattering the brain of the Qiongqi Legion.

Admittedly, Li Suyuan is a genuine ninth-tier Saint-level professional.

However, facing more than a dozen beings who surpassed the Origin level, the Qiongqi Legion only lasted for a few minutes.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu stood up.

With swift and decisive movements, he grabbed the military jacket draped over the back of the chair and put it on.

The training exercise has been cancelled.

As he spoke, Gu Xu pulled his military cap over his head: "Chief of Staff Jiang, immediately notify Elder Li and the elders of the Supreme Command. I'll go check the situation first and confirm if it's those false god scum!"

"Also, everyone has it!"

"arrive!"

Su Qiong, Li Tiezhu, and the others stood at attention in unison.

"Immediately organize the troops, place them on standby, and await orders from headquarters!"

"Once the orders are received, proceed to provide support immediately!"

"yes!!!"

……

Moving slightly forward in time, just as the Star Hunters appeared across dimensions and were preparing to launch their attack.

Two thousand miles away from the Qiongqi Legion's defense zone, in the far west of Shenxia, ​​lies a place that has been rated as an SSS-level high-risk alien plane by all the countries in the entire Blue Star plane—the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

Looking out, across the desolate land, a fissure stretching for hundreds of miles stretched outwards, constantly spewing out black energy fluctuations.

It resembles a festering wound.

Deep within the rift, countless alien races surged forth like a tide, constantly trying to break free.

Leading the charge were a group of bipedal dragon-like monsters, with wingspans reaching over ten meters, spewing green venom from their mouths.

Following behind was a five-meter-tall one-eyed troll, wielding a rough stone club, gripping the rock face as it climbed upwards.

Meanwhile, countless six-legged monsters passed by the troll, climbing rapidly upwards.

These alien races are mostly at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level. Individually, they do not pose a fatal threat to the defense line, but their numbers are too great, densely packed, and stretch as far as the eye can see.

This is why Chen Zhenyuan, as a Source-level expert of Shenxia, ​​has been guarding this place for many years and dares not leave even for a moment.

At this moment, Chen Zhenyuan, dressed in a green robe, stood in the middle of the rift, his brows furrowed.

He had one hand behind his back and the other outstretched in front of him; beneath his palm, the space within a radius of hundreds of kilometers sank.

The alien race that rushed into the area didn't even have time to roar before their bodies were pressed deeper into the area.

The dragon's wings were broken, the troll's knees were smashed, and the six-legged monster was crushed into a pile of mangled flesh. Black blood flowed down the rock wall, but as soon as this wave was knocked down, the next wave rushed up over the pile of corpses.

"These things have been getting more and more aggressive lately."

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhenyuan murmured softly.

Unfortunately, his words were swallowed up by the black mist in the rift abyss as soon as he spoke.

Having guarded this place for many years, he knew the rhythm of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons better than anyone else.

The alien races here are brutal, greedy, and fearless, but they also have instincts.

In the past, every time they attacked the defensive line, they would retreat deeper into the enemy territory after suffering a certain number of casualties, waiting to accumulate strength for the next attack.

But these past few days have been different.

Ever since the battle between Gu Xu and Zogra's projection ended, the monsters at the bottom of the Rift Abyss have been driven by some force, rushing out day and night.

The previous batch had barely fallen when the next batch took its place, giving them no chance to even catch their breath.

Their attacks were haphazard, yet utterly frenzied.

So much so that he has been standing here for a whole day and night.

The expansion of the source-level domain has been quite taxing on mental energy.

Anyone else would have been worn down by this kind of attrition long ago. It's only because he has guarded the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons for so long and has become accustomed to this tug-of-war that he has been able to hold on until now.
