The worst has happened...

After hearing Colonel Jansett's description, Alvin's heart sank completely, and his expression became solemn.

Just half a day ago, Warp Astropathic Message came from Tingel, the chief Commissar stationed in Tartarus, a defensive world near the Stygian System.

In the Death World, the Tartarus defense system is on the verge of complete collapse under the fierce attack of the Hive Fleet Leviathan. He, along with the local Defense Force, the Cadian Shock Troops, and 30,000 residents, will fight the Tyran to the death, vowing to delay the Tyran's advance for the sake of the Imperium and its rear.

Meanwhile, the Flesh Tearers and the Blood Angels Chapter suffered heavy losses, with almost one-tenth of the Chapter remaining. Dante forced them to retreat to the rear to regroup.

"Too fast--." Alvin stared at the battle report, his spirits plummeting. He had anticipated that Tyran might launch a furious attack, but he never expected that they would break through several lines of defense in less than a week!

The fact that dozens of Space Marine Chapter, tens of thousands of Blood Angels, and the local Defense Force and Cadian Shock Troops were breached so quickly can only mean one thing— the Leviathan Bio-ship's offensive and numbers are far more swift than imagined.

More importantly, Tyran's Leviathan Bio-ship has landed on the surface of Aeros and is attacking Aeros's mining platforms.

To relocate the Promethium on Aeros, mining platforms are essential large-scale equipment. If they are damaged, it means that the mining platforms and the workers must be protected.

Protecting workers and mining platforms while resisting the invasion of the Tyrannosaurus bio-fleet is an incredibly difficult task.

Even tens of thousands of experienced interstellar warriors and Cadian's elite assault force couldn't stop the Leviathan Bio-ship, let alone them?

Time is too short!

His original plan was to gain at least a month, so that he could collect as many Promethium as possible.

But now, let alone a month, with the Tartarus defenses fallen, they only have less than a week at most, and that's under the most optimistic scenario.

Alvin's expression was extremely grave as he gazed at Aeros, who was completely surrounded by the red dot symbolizing Tyran.

His brow remained furrowed. "If we start now and have workers collect Promethium day and night, how long would it take to complete the strategic reserve?"

Colonel Jansett did some mental calculations and said, "It will take at least fourteen days to collect enough Promethium."

Fourteen days!

Hearing this number still made Alvin's heart sink, even though he was mentally prepared.

At the current rate of attack by the Zergling Hive Fleet Leviathan, let alone fourteen days, even five days is questionable!

But looking at Aeros with its astonishing reserves of Promethium, Alvin was truly unwilling to give up just like that!

This gas giant contains enough Promethium to supply the entire Baal System, making it crucial for future wars against Leviathan!

Giving up like this would be tantamount to throwing such a huge "gold mine" to the Hive Fleet Leviathan for nothing.

"I will have the entire fleet assist you in capturing the airspace as much as possible, and I also ask the workers of Aeros..."

"Speed up the mining of Promethium." After much deliberation, Alvin issued this order to Jansett, "At all costs, collect as much Promethium as possible within three days. I'm counting on you."

Colonel Jansett!

He knew very well that this was a case of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Even so, we must stockpile as many resources as possible before the main force of the Tyranid Swarm arrives.

After ending the call, Alvin rubbed his temples, pondering his next plan.

Aeros is a gas giant, and the slow extraction speed is primarily due to human intervention. Humans cannot operate on the surface of a gas giant for extended periods. However, Silicon-based lifeform have absolutely no need to worry about this!

He could allocate a batch of low-level Transformers specifically for mining, which would speed up the collection of Promethium.

But this was not enough to satisfy Alvin's requirements, so he turned his attention to Torzak, who was disguised as a human.

If this lord of the Necron could be lent an army, it would likely greatly benefit him.

Let's slow down Tyran's attack a bit, shall we?

Thinking of this, Alvin looked at Torzak: "Great Lord Torzak, there is something—"

I hope you can help me.

Torzak, who was being watched, knew exactly what he was thinking, and sneered, "Don't even think about it."

Don't tell me I can't help you. Even if I were willing, the army in my Pocket Dimension couldn't possibly stop an entire Tyranid creature fleet.

Upon hearing this, Alvin was somewhat frustrated. Did this really mean they had no choice but to draw troops from other worlds?

That's unrealistic. After all, it's not about protecting their own world. Even bio- Bioroid and bio-armies couldn't stop Tyran!

The difference between the two is too great.

But Torzak paused, seemingly in thought, and after a moment, said meaningfully, "Although I can't stop Tyran for you, there should be something you want on the planet Pertita."

Pertita?

Upon hearing this, Alvin confirmed it, then turned his gaze to the punctuation mark on the star map. "Pertita?"

Isn't this the "Death World"?

Pertita, as early as M36.439, was considered Death World by the Imperium and had no value, and had already been excluded from the Imperium's defense zone.

However, considering that the Necron, Alvin's eyes darted around.

He asked, "Is there anything special about this place?"

"Have."

Torzak gave a mysterious smile, "Pertita is what you humans call it, but in our past records, this planet was a 'cage'."

"Cage?"

Alvin was stunned for a few seconds, not quite reacting yet.

"The Hyperdimensional Cube," Torzak said calmly. "That's what we call it. What does 'cage' mean?"

"Alvin asked."

"In our records, the Hyperdimensional Cube is mostly used as a tool to seal the 'C'tan'," Torzak said calmly. "If you're lucky enough to encounter Hyperdimensional Cube that seals the 'C'tan,' the Tyranid Swarm fleet will naturally be no problem."

Hyperdimensional Cube? Star God Fragment?!

Alvin's eyes lit up instantly; this was something that could only be encountered once in a lifetime!

If we had Star God Fragment, let alone the Leviathan Bio-ship, even the tentacles of the Tyranid Swarm would be no match.

It's impossible to stop them!

Pertita, it seems he absolutely has to go!

Without further hesitation, Alvin ordered, "It's decided then, go to Pertita!"

If he could find Star God Fragment, he'd be rich!
