313 Offers Echoes to the Beautiful Star Abyss

A piercing shriek echoed from the sky, and a blinding crimson streak plummeted rapidly. From the perspective of the inhabitants of the Tomb Stars, it looked as if the universe had been torn open, with ominous blood gushing out.

"Uncertain celestial body is approaching at high speed. Activate the Megastructure Interception System!"

Bang bang bang! The defense system of the Tomb Stars immediately detected something was wrong and dispatched a large number of mechs into space to prepare for terminal interception. The surrounding defense satellites activated their accelerators and rushed toward Li Aoz at high speed.

Generally speaking, planetary defense systems are one of the means to demonstrate the defense capabilities of Interstellar Civilization, but this is not applicable to the dome-shaped megastructure.

The dome-shaped structure is not a planet. It does not have a strong planetary magnetic field to resist the solar wind, nor an atmosphere to shield it from radiation. It relies entirely on its external armor to withstand the elements. If it weren't for an internal gravity generator, living here for a long time would only result in rickets.

Especially for City of Sin like the Tomb Stars and space nomads, order is basically based on self-discipline. There is no unified government, and gangs and warlords are fighting each other. When faced with natural disasters from the outside world, they have no way to respond or coordinate.

Faced with this dazzling crimson celestial body, only the warlord Atalai, who had a vested interest in the matter, reacted. He hurriedly dispatched mech units and organized his air defense forces to launch a counterattack. Ion cannons fired continuously, and the mechanics worked hard to calculate the trajectory curve.

At first, they thought it was just an ordinary natural disaster.

Until the fiery crimson trail tore through the sky, the artificial meteorite blocking its path was directly pulverized, and the mech troops that had taken off were scattered by the residual shockwave before they could even get close.

"Holy crap! What the hell is that?!"

"Wasn't it supposed to be an asteroid impact? If it was a meteorite, the speed is just too incredible!"

"Activate the Guard Interception immediately and launch Hyperspeed Missile!"

Accelerating relentlessly, despite the close-in weapon systems relentlessly unleashing a barrage of ammunition, the crimson object shifted between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, gradually releasing rings as it fell, locking onto the ground.

"... Where are the Lioz people?" Ailiya glanced around. "How would I know?"

Dugen said irritably:

"That guy's mobility is outrageous, I can't catch him at all."

The two looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"I have a bad feeling," she said.

Dugen shrugged. "What a coincidence, me too."

The next moment, the two of them ran towards the Nightclub's entrance.

Nalia also realized what was happening, placing a hand on the shoulder of the Gambler beside her while shouting to the crowd:

"Something's not right here, scatter!"

The people in the Nightclub realized something was wrong and rushed outside. Just as several people stepped outside, half their bodies vanished instantly, spreading out evenly on the flat ground.

"Damn, it's Dimensional Barrier!"

The people who followed got goosebumps all over. Just then, a piercing shriek cut through the sky. The people who had escaped instinctively looked up and saw rings falling down, imprisoning the Nightclub building layer by layer.

Smack

[Gambler] Dundee's body emerged from the corner. He raised his hand and opened his chest. Nalia's body immediately jumped out from inside. As soon as she landed, she saw the scarlet trail descending from the sky.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and all she could manage to mutter was, "It's over."

boom!!!!! The grand scarlet color bloomed brilliantly on the earth like a cheering salute, and the roaring sound continuously shook the entire giant system. Even passers-by on the other side of the planet would feel their bones softening and their eardrums bleeding from the continuous echo.

Then came crimson blood, carrying Li Aoz's genetic information, which transformed into a flood and tsunami, flowing across the land. With the spread of the bloodline, that supreme and oppressive aura spread across the earth.

Even from outer space, one can see the entire structure of the Tomb Stars trembling in an instant, with mournful and painful sounds echoing from its metal skeleton.

Megastructures do not possess a planetary will; they merely represent a signal of mechanical fatigue.

All those who walk on the ground are now prostrate and kneeling. The crashing sound of the blood tsunami and the booming of the impact explosions cause countless people to be annihilated and swallowed up in an instant, letting out painful and desperate screams. The Echo Power carries these sounds and continues to spread outward in the universe!

"United Company" · Verrazzi Security Co., Ltd.. · Verrazzi Neon

"Thank you so much for choosing Verrazzi Security. I assure you, within the Abyss, we are the most professional—"

Andrew Verrazzi warmly welcomed his clients and successfully secured a large order, propelling the company's business to new heights.

Buzz—

The next moment, a violent roar swept across the planet. Andrew's smile froze, and he immediately pressed the button on his headset to listen to the report.

"Please... wait a moment."

Andrew turned his head and whispered, "What happened? What? The operation failed? Was this Lioz's doing? Where are you...?"

As the explanations increased, Andrew's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, he couldn't listen to any more explanations and slammed the headset on the ground!

Snap!

The documents destined for the presidential palace fell to the ground. The woman, Lioz's assistant, slowly lowered her head, about to pick them up, when she suddenly paused. "Hmm?"

She looked up at the window, revealing her golden vertical pupils:

"This is Lioz's echo..."

"Secretary-General Dia Lan. So you've been here."

Just as Dia Lan was lost in thought, an official from the Ministry of Defense approached and, without even saluting, said directly, "Come quickly, Lord Lioz has given the signal; it's time to take action."

"Yes, I heard that too."

Dia Lan nodded, then glanced back at the azure deep space: spaceships were launched into the air by Electromagnetic Catapult, rushing toward the Star Abyss at top speed.

Five years ago, Lioz almost single-handedly turned the tide, saved White Candle Star, and expelled [Society].

Dia Lan murmured, "Five years later, just how powerful have you become?"

Thump—

In the Red Eye System, a small asteroid belt, sounds from hundreds of light-seconds away echoed continuously. This extraordinary sight attracted the attention of many players.

Everyone put down their work and started discussing the sound issue, except for one inconspicuous miner who continued working.

"... Li Aoz is stronger than before."

Caramel Snail merely glanced in the direction of the echo.

After calming down for a while, he was no longer so conflicted and confused.

Regardless, Li Aoz had helped him a lot, and once he had repaid his debt of gratitude, he would leave to find a way to descend into the Star Abyss.

"I will never rely on you again, Li Aoz."

He thought to himself and continued pressing the pneumatic pick against the surface of the meteorite.

splat—

Grina Vortex took a small bite of the juicy planet, squinted her eyes slightly, and listened intently to the sound echoing through the universe.

"What a rare path, Vulcan."

She smiled, then lazily summoned the dragon-human butler, resting her chin on her hand:

What do you think?

"This seems to be a kind of development and utilization of Gravity Wave. By using Gravity Wave to transmit information, Aoneng's access information can also be transmitted. In terms of computer information technology, it is to use the access certificate that could originally only be used on a single terminal on the entire local area network. And as more and more users access the local area network, the access capability of this permission becomes stronger and stronger."

After thinking it over carefully, Vulcan added:

"However, this ability has two fatal flaws."

"Firstly, this ability overlooks the fact that the universe itself is not an excellent carrier of information. The vacuum is not empty. No matter how much information is continuously transmitted, there will eventually be losses. Therefore, it cannot achieve the effect of 'hitting a cow through a mountain.' At most, it can only have a miraculous effect within the range of ship combat."

"Secondly, this ability is almost useless to individual units. It does not amplify the power of Aoneng, nor does it encrypt information. Therefore, whether it is interception, tampering, or obstruction, as long as its essence is understood, it can be controlled."

"Pretty much the same."

Grina crossed her long legs and parted her cherry lips slightly. "However, what I asked you about is not this path."

"You mean... Lioz?"

"I've been sending him invitations for a long time, but he still hasn't chosen to come."

Grina Vortex said with slight displeasure, "It seems that either he is tactless or he doesn't know my name."

"I think it must be the latter," Butler Vulcan said respectfully. "No one can escape your charm; after all, you are the most mysterious miracle, the most fiery beauty, the most eternal jewel in these Sixth Layer Star Abyss ..."

Grina rested her chin on her hand, her gaze drifting, completely unconcerned about Vulcan's lavish praise of her, "... the only true choice of the dragon leader, the first life, the great daughter of the Radiant Dragon —Miss Grina Vortex."

"Vulcan, I want something."

"Grina suddenly said."

Vulcan quickly offered his praise, "You are the only dragon princess in the world, and it is only natural that you want anything."

"Is that so?" Grina stood up, her beautiful eyes shining with expectation. "I want freedom."

"That's certainly no problem—what did you say?"

"I've had enough of being confined to the museum, operating day after day, like a canary for people to watch and play with."

With a wave of her hand, Grina conjured a simple white veil from thin air and said calmly:

"Now, I want to go find that cute little guy named Lioz."

"...You should know that I cannot disobey His will, can you?" Vulcan said with difficulty.

"Him? Red King, he's not your master, I am."

Grina glanced at the other person. "Besides, that old woman hasn't spoken for hundreds of years."

"Perhaps, they have already died on the path to eternity."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, that person is yours..."

"No one can refuse what I want."

Grina coldly declared, "I am Grina Vortex, daughter of Red King, the Plunder Soul, the Greedy Chairman, and the Jewel Dragon King!"

"I have never missed out on treasures. If I want something, I just shout it out, and someone will bring it to me."

"This world is mine! I will get whatever I want, and no one can stop me."

The butler Vulcan, opened his mouth, then said helplessly, "If you really want to leave, that's fine, I can't stop you, but the exhibition is still going on..."

"You can take care of them yourself. They're just a bunch of ordinary people anyway, so you can just go through the motions."

As Grina Vortex spoke, she stretched and her eyes lit up with excitement:

"Now, Grina's wondrous adventure begins!"

"Lioz, I've come to play with you!"
