2116. Missing Grand Duke of Dawn

An extremely strange void vortex was generated out of thin air, swallowing up Oola-Khan and Sola-A Dark Templar almost instantly. Then the vortex suddenly shrank, followed by an extremely terrifying force at the other end of the vortex!

The bright red color began to spread in the vortex. It was a bright red flame. This flame burned continuously, but it could not feel any temperature at all. This bright red flame dances in mid-air as if it is alive, and its energy is getting stronger and its color is getting darker and darker!

Even later, this bright red flame had solidified into a plasma state! But I still couldn't feel any temperature, and even the ground was not damaged.

Immediately afterwards, a hand wearing pitch black armor suddenly stretched out from the other side of the vortex! This hand actually grabbed the energy of nothingness, tearing the vortex out into a larger channel, and then came the second hand, the dark shoulder armor...

This figure tore into the void vortex, and at the same time, his body gradually squeezed out from the vortex. The bright red flame seemed to be integrated with this person, always surrounding him.

As the energy became stronger and stronger, this person finally came out from the other side of the vortex!

"We are as one! (We are like one!)" A voice that seemed to come from the void sounded. This voice sounded like both Oola-Khan and Sola-ah. It seemed like two voices merged into one and dispersed in the void.

Boom~~~~~The bright red plasma flames surged instantly! The black figure in the flames opened his eyes, and blood-red Blitz was flowing in his eyes. These eyes with no visible pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see the other side of the universe.

At this moment, in this bright red flame, stood the shadow of Protoss. He wore pitch black armor and covered his head with a hood. However, except for his head and palms, the rest of his body was completely composed of energy, integrated with the bright red flame.

It looked like he was a pair of ferocious armor floating in mid-air.

He just stood in the flames and let out a painful groan, "Ah..." The powerful Psionics moaned and spread around, even the space was shaking.

Dark Archon! This is a taboo even among Dark Templar Nerazim.

When two Dark Templar are willing to sacrifice their lives, they can fuse their consciousnesses together, and then awaken the power of the void through a mysterious ritual, thereby accepting the baptism of the void and becoming a powerful energy body between reality and higher dimensions.

This is Dark Archon!

The fusion of Dark Templar can give Dark Archon overwhelming mental power. They can almost instinctively use this extremely powerful power to do whatever they want - such as easily playing with each other's soul and the Will.

However, such power also comes at a price. Dark Archon can only exist for a short period of time, and after that, it will completely die. And even in the short period of Dark Archon's existence, it was an extremely painful torture for both himself and Psionics.

Because of this, among Dark Templar Nerazim, the appearance of Dark Archon is absolutely prohibited, and will only be briefly opened when they are threatened with destruction.

Faced with the current situation, Oola-Khan and Sola-A, two Dark Templar members of the Sali-Gal tribe, believe that the situation has indeed endangered the safety of the galaxy. Because if Tang Xiao is allowed to continue in its current state without stopping it, and if he cannot persevere in those several different consciousnesses, then what will be born here will be an unimaginably terrifying monster!

All living things will be ruined.

Dark Archon's powerful and profound gaze fell on Tang Xiao in front of him, "The chaotic the Will... This will be an irreparable scar on the void."

He floated towards Tang Xiao. The huge figure of more than three meters stood in front of Tang Xiao, filled with a terrible sense of oppression.

At this moment, Tang Xiao is in chaos, and Dark Side Force is chaotic and disorderly, devouring everything around it. At this time, if an ordinary person, even an ordinary Protoss, even approaches, the result will be nothing but ashes.

However, Dark Archon remained motionless under such a dark storm. He slowly approached Tang Xiao, and the bright red flames around his body resisted all damage from Dark Side Force.

His power does not come from himself, but after fusing the Will and soul of two Dark Templar, he is able to contact the deep void and directly use the power of the void. Of course, the price for using such a powerful force is that it will be completely destroyed in a short time, and even the remaining soul will not exist.

"Darkness... will annihilate everything!" Dark Archon said, directly covering Tang Xiao's forehead with a big hand.

Boom~~~~~~~ An extremely powerful force burst out instantly! Even the structure of the surrounding Relics began to have countless cracks. This was an extremely chaotic force, including death, darkness, soul, void, instinct... It was as if countless powerful beings without any rules had exploded all their power at the same time. It was even impossible to describe what this power was.

A whirlpool of black and red rose into the sky, reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters! At the same time, the bright red flames around Dark Archon's body were completely blown away by this force!

Bang, bang, bang... The empty black armors lost their support and fell to the ground one after another. Then even these armors began to disintegrate, shatter, and finally turned into nothingness.

At the same time, the distant Taris land Lower City.

A woman with an abnormally gray-white complexion and a gorgeous mask on her face was standing on top of countless Rakghoul corpses. She suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Unknown Regions. Then, her whole body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, becoming silent for a moment.

At the same time, a total of 15 Consul-class aircraft carriers in service among Duchy of Dawn Navy, including Tang Xiao's own Red Comet III modified Luukri-Hok-class battleship, all malfunctioned at the same moment, and the battleship's control system failed to respond.

The engineers inside the battleship immediately began to check, and soon they discovered that Force-sensitive, which was connected to the battleship as the drone control system and also assumed part of the host task, all lost response. In other words... they were dead.

These people were all killed by Tang Xiao and then resurrected with Death Force.

Aberla Planet In the outer battlefield, fierce fighting is still going on.

Here at Duchy of Dawn, all the cargo ships used to load those Togot Swarm have been shot down. The corpses of various bugs floated out from the wreckage of the cargo ships, densely packed, almost spreading throughout the entire area.

The fleet of Grysk Hegemony is chasing the remaining fleet of Duchy of Dawn. In the previous battle, five Kohl-class Battlecruisers had been destroyed, and the remaining two Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers and three Kohl-class Battlecruisers were fleeing at full speed in the other direction of the galaxy.

The reason why these remaining warships did not fall into a tight siege was because those cargo ships became the best human shields.

Although the Togot Swarm bugs stuffed in those cargo ships were the best thing to sacrifice for the two Protoss High Templar who commanded the fleet, for Grysk Hegemony, all Kilik Swarm are absolutely not allowed to appear in their own territory.

So after spending some time destroying these cargo ships, High Templar finally gave the remaining warships a chance to break out and escape.

Of course, Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser's solid defense also played a key role. Grysk Hegemony's battleship simply does not have enough means to penetrate Hell Angel-class's main armor belt with thermal armor.

On the bridge of one of the Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser ships, some B-1 combat robots were carrying out corpses one by one. Those are the bodies of 'Joiner', people controlled by Togot Swarm's erosion. But with the death of Togurt Mother Nest, these 'Joiner' also lost their lives.

"Sir, the navigation data for the hyperspace jump has been calculated. We estimate that we can start jumping in ten minutes." A B-1 combat robot came over and said to High Templar Rassidan.

"Start jumping as soon as you are ready. There is no need to report to me. First we need to get out of here." Rassidan waved his hand and made a sound through the vibration of Psionics in the air.

After all, telepathy cannot be conveyed to robots.

"Roger Roger!" The B-1 combat robot gave a funny military salute, turned around and walked back.

Rassidan turned back to the other High Templar Rosales and said, "After leaving the battle, I went to find the planet Tang Xiao went to. This will probably take some time. Although Tang Xiao left the coordinates, I just arranged for a navigator to do the calculation, but the calculation failed."

Rosales nodded, "I will return to Chiss territory and gather more fleets. According to the size of Grysk Hegemony's main fleet, we need at least 100 capital ships to ensure that they are defeated."

"I leave this matter to you. The fleet of Grysk Hegemony must not be allowed to roam in the starry sky. The number of Grysks carried in this fleet is unknown. In the worst case, this fleet may have the ability to control 10 or even more Draon Planets." Rassidan said.

"The same goes for you, Rassidan. At least come back alive." Rosales said.

Rassidan raised his left hand, Sith artifact Kresh's Gauntlet was already worn on his hand, "Tang Xiao handed this thing to me even in a crazy state. Maybe that's what he meant. At least, I can't let his efforts go in vain."

However, while they were talking, the Grysk Hegemony main fleet that was chasing after them suddenly changed!

The fleet suddenly reduced its speed and stopped pursuing. Immediately afterwards, the remaining more than a thousand warships turned on their hyperspace engines and entered the hyperspace channel. After bursts of dazzling white light, they disappeared into the universe.

"They retreated?" Rosales looked at the space battlefield where only countless battleships and insect wreckage were left, feeling a little confused.

"This makes no sense. They should eliminate us all here, which is the best choice." Rassidan said.

Rosales thought for a while and said, "Maybe the senior Grysk who commanded this fleet was killed by Tang Xiao?"

Rassidan nodded, "It's very possible."

He thought for a while and said, "We still act according to the original plan. But since Grysk Hegemony's fleet has retreated, I think we don't need to gather too many fleets to come. We can just mobilize the existing fleet on Chiss territory. Then come here as soon as possible and adapt to changes."

"I will do it." Rosales nodded in agreement.

Rassidan went to Hangar Platform, and drove his Protoss shuttle to another Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser. Soon, the two warships parted ways and went in different directions.

Meanwhile, Dawn Star Planet, Supreme Military Command.

An urgent encrypted communication was sent, and it came with the highest level of authority. Among the entire Duchy of Dawn, no more than ten people have this authority.

Although it was rest time, Supreme Military Command responded immediately. Communication was forwarded to Chief of Staff Qi Jian.

A woman wearing a brown robe, dark complexion, and a gorgeous mask on her face appeared in the holographic projection - the principal of Twilight Covenant, Priestess.

"What happened? Your Excellency Priestess." Qi Jian was arranging his clothes and taking a refreshing drink from his assistant.

"Immediately put the entire Duchy of Dawn army into the highest combat readiness state!" Priestess said in a very solemn tone, "At the same time, we need to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. We cannot be discovered by the Galactic Empire that we are improving the combat readiness level. Can we do it?"

"Yes, we have such a combat readiness plan. I can issue orders immediately." Qi Jian nodded and asked, "But... why? Did you get any information?"

"Tang Xiao, may be missing. Or maybe... dead." Priestess said.

"What did you say!!" Qi Jian jumped up almost immediately, "This is impossible!! You'd better not make such a joke!!"

Priestess shook his head and said in a very serious tone, "I'm not joking. Just now, I lost contact with Tang Xiao among Force sense."

"Maybe Grand Duke is in a more complicated environment now?" Qi Jian still retains the last hope.

Priestess shook his head again, "The Force is different from communication equipment. This sense is very vague, but at least it is there or not. At this point, there is absolutely no mistake. Among those who have established the Force contact, losing contact among Force sense often means... death."
