“Dali.” On Tuka Planet, at night, Tang Muxin came quietly to Hong Dali. She sat down slowly and watched the moon in the night sky with him as she asked softly, “What are you thinking?”
“I’m not thinking about anything, I just feel a little bit stressed.” Hong Dali shook his head with a chuckle and said, “This time, the enemy is very powerful. To be honest, I’m quite nervous.”
Although Hong Dali said that he was nervous, Tang Muxin felt that he was already very awesome as he did not wet his pants from fear…
“This time your opponent is really very strong.” Tang Muxin leaned her head gently on Hong Dali’s shoulder and said, “He’s unbelievably strong and highly ingenious. It’s okay even if you fail. You’re not God. There’s no guarantee that things will always go smoothly for you, right?”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if I fail. I never cared about success or failure anyway.” Hong Dali sighed softly. “It’s just that I hate war. As long as there is war, people will die. Especially wars of such scale, the death count will be in the hundreds of millions. Anyone would be depressed by such a thing. Sigh.”
Tang Muxin understood clearly what Hong Dali meant.
Hong Dali was a very kind person. He would stop to play with a kitten or a puppy when he met one back on Earth. If an animal was injured, he would definitely do his best to treat it. When he met a beggar, he would definitely give him one or two thousand yuan. It was really hard for him to be involved in such a brutal dimension war now.
“Alright, Dali. Stop thinking. We’ll just do our best.” Tang Muxin tidied Hong Dali’s hair that was messed up by the night breeze gently and said, “At least you won’t regret it. You will say that you’ve tried your best and your conscience is clear. That will be good enough!”
“En, don’t worry.” Hong Dali let out a long breath and smiled. “Our enemy is very strong this time, but I don’t think Tang Zhen will attack us personally. He should have a disciple or something. Otherwise, it will not be justifiable for him to attack younger generations like me at his level, hehe.”
“That’s true.” Tang Muxin nodded and smiled. “As long as he doesn’t fight us in person, we still stand a chance. Hehe.”
With such thoughts, their mood changed for the better. Hong Dali suddenly felt something in his heart and he smiled. “Hehe, my Golden Emperor Beetle has been teleported over via the Inter-sector Teleportation. Aiyo, Sister Zining is here as well.”
Indeed, once he said that the communicator rang. He opened to see Ji Zining’s face and heard her shout. “Little rascal, did you get into trouble again? I heard your opponent is very strong this time?”
“He’s not just very strong, he’s almost invincible,” Hong Dali said with a frown. “Sister Zining, can you help me summon the Zerg? This time, the opponent is very strong, I have to use all the power that I can summon.”
“Humph, so what if he’s strong? Who can defy your exceeding luck? We’ll talk again when we’re there.” Ji Zining ended the communication.
“Uh…” Hong Dali touched his nose. “My luck is not bad, but I don’t think it’s that powerful, right? Can it kill Tang Zhen? I don’t think so…”
“Even if you can’t kill Tang Zhen, there might be a chance of defeating his disciple.” Tang Muxin smiled. “You can do it, Dali. You’re the best, always!”
“I know. Don’t worry.” Hong Dali chuckled and returned to the command center for a short break with Tang Muxin.
Soon, Ji Zining landed in a small spacecraft on the square of Tuka Planet’s headquarters. She made her way to the command center hurriedly once she disembarked. As she walked, she mumbled, “Dali did not even show this expression when he fused with the Golden Emperor Beetle. It seems the enemy is really powerful this time.”
As she thought that, Ji Zining entered the command center. Once she entered, she shouted, “Where’s Hong Dali? What’s the current situation? Is the enemy really so powerful?”
She was just a Galaxy Aristocrat. The information that she received was not as detailed as the other Astral-level officers like Lei Zhe. She was unsure of how powerful the enemy was this time.
She soon found out…
“My God, how did such an enemy appear?!” Ji Zining looked at the move that Tang Zhen made with his finger on the holographic projection. She said in shock, “This person’s strength, en… what level is it?”
“At least the pinnacle of the astral world, maybe sub-god level,” Lei Zhe said slowly. “You are the Queen of Blades Dali mentioned?”
“En, that’s me.” Ji Zining nodded. She was now part of the Zerg camp, not an aristocrat. Hence, there was no need for her to bow and greet Lei Zhe.
“Sister Zining,” Hong Dali asked, “if you used all your power, how many Zergs can you summon?”
“Summon with all my power?” Ji Zining thought carefully, then replied with certainty, “Thirty billion is the limit. This is referring to ordinary Zergs and Mutated Zergs. The King Zergs have not appeared, neither has the Golden Emperor Beetle.”
“En, thirty billion is not bad. Sister Zining, summon them first. I’ll think of something else.” Hong Dali nodded. Thirty billion Ordinary Zergs and Mutated Zergs in total. That was considered a good number.
“Deal. Since we’re tight on time, I’ll go right now.” Then, she left immediately.
“Alright, everyone. Go get ready as well.” Hong Dali looked at the others in the command center. “The ordinary folks may all evacuate. Soldiers who are not powerful enough may leave too. We only want the elites. The Zerg will be cannon fodder. Uncle Lei Zhe, how many people can we send away in this case?”
“If we send away all the ordinary soldiers and people, that will be about 12 billion people.” Lei Zhe calculated and gave Hong Dali the numbers. Then, he said worriedly, “If we do that, we won’t have enough soldiers. Will the Zergs and space carriers controlled by mechanical butlers be enough to withstand the other party’s attack?”
Twelve billion, Hong Dali was satisfied with that number.
“Don’t worry.” Hong Dali laughed. He had it all worked out. “Tang Zhen will not attack us personally. He will definitely send his disciple first. Like master, like disciple. Tang Zhen is so broad-minded, his disciple will not be any different.”
“En, that makes sense. Okay, I’ll do what you say.” Lei Zhe went off to make arrangements.
…
Among the stars in space.
“Roar—” The Golden Emperor Beetle stood on a planet on the stellar system Tuka Planet was on. It raised its head and burst out in roars.
It was summoning all the Zergs in the galaxy. As the absolute king of the Zergs, the call of the Golden Emperor Beetle, all other Zergs must obey.
All over the galaxy where Zergs existed, they began to respond. “Wuu—” “Gaa—” “Roar—” “Zhi zhi—”
After they had responded, countless Zergs flew into the cosmic sky toward an asteroid. There was a Zerg wormhole portal that allowed them to gather where the Golden Emperor Beetle was at the fastest speed.
Ooh la la—The Zerg began to transmit, and the scale was overwhelming. Even the locust plague on the Earth was child’s play compared to this. If one was to say that these Zerg could eat up a planet, there was no doubt about it.
…
On the other end, countless space carriers converge at Tuka Planet.
These spacecraft were bought by Hong Dali to be controlled by mechanical butlers. All the spacecraft was empty. They were truly consumables and their sole purpose was to stall time.
“Young Master, the 30,000 space carriers we ordered are heading here and will arrive in about two days.” Ling Xiaoyi reported to Hong Dali. “In addition, Star Sector-level warriors from major astrals have arrived and are currently merging with the Mutated Zergs, which will take about 48 hours to complete.”
The space carriers and the Star Sector-level Sky Knights were Hong Dali’s biggest trump card in this battle.
The space carriers could only be considered cannon fodder. They were just money, it did not matter if they became waste. Those Star Sector-level Sky Knights were the main force that was really suitable for tough battles. Especially since they had gathered all the Star Sector-level warriors from almost the entire Shenglong Astral—good things should be kept for their own people. This was specially requested by Hong Dali…
“En, not bad, not bad. Now, we will just wait for Tang Zhen’s disciple to come.” Hong Dali smiled. “We should at least get acquainted and find out his name. Hehe.”
…
Three days passed quickly.
In the universe, tens of thousands of magic spaceships flew towards Tuka Planet, and at this time, they had entered the Tuka Planet’s range—magic spaceships were slower, after all. It was incomparable to Tang Zhen’s speed of walking freely in the universe.
“Venerable Lord, we have entered the command center’s range.” A Cultivator knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Shili and reported. “It’s heavily guarded within the star sector. We await your instructions.”
“En, since we’re here, we should meet up with them first.” Jiang Shili nodded and said, “Stop approaching and convey my message to them. It’s up to the young man whether he dares to come out. Hehe.”
A talisman appeared between his fingers. He flicked it gently and it slowly disappeared after floating in the air briefly.
…
In the Tuka Planet command center.
Hong Dali was lying on Li Nianwei’s thigh when a golden light suddenly flashed in the middle of the hall. A paper talisman appeared in front of Hong Dali.
“Oh? This thing is interesting.” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly got up and took the paper talisman. When he came in contact with the talisman, a young deep voice sounded. “Jiang Shili, the head disciple of the Devil Lord, heard there is a young man here who is highly valued by my master. I wonder if we can have a chat? I will be waiting in the universe for three days, and I hope that you will accede my little request.”
