Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi accepted missions to eliminate all ninety-three identified Star Core-level Abyssal Beasts as Dawn Operation began. The allied forces rapidly overran the large nest, defeating a powerful Leader-level beast and clearing most of its territory, while Lin Yi remained poised to handle the highest-level threats.

• Lin Yi accepted all ninety-three highest-priority extermination missions, each targeting a Star Core-level Abyssal Beast.
• Seven days later, Nie Chang directed Dawn Operation as the allied forces launched a coordinated assault on the large nest using conventional and Source Energy weapons.

• The allied forces occupied the nest territory in less than two days and cleared more than ninety percent of its Abyssal Beasts.

The Source Martial Army activated Source Energy Neutralization at the Iron Wall, provoking a massive Abyss Beast tide that attacked the defensive line. As the allied forces fought to hold their positions, Lin Yi continued intercepting the Star Core-level beasts alone above them.

• The army completed the Iron Wall fortifications, and fifty Source Martial Army officers began neutralizing the large Nest Vortex.

After the giant Abyssal Tide’s reinforcements retreated, Nie Chang ordered the Iron Wall forces to pursue and destroy them, turning the battle into a human counterattack.

Aurelia reported Blue Star’s Level 5 civilization rating and Lin Yi’s Level 7 individual rating to Xuchen, who reviewed the assessment and recognized how Lin Yi had harnessed Blue Star’s competitive culture.
