Chapter 303
These S-class clones have no self-awareness, only fighting instincts and absolute obedience, and they attacked simultaneously at this moment.
Space freezing, time distortion, gravity reversal, energy extraction... all are rule-level suppressions!
The war Clone were simultaneously locked on multiple dimensions. Under the design of the Mastermind, the forty-three S-class abilities coordinated to form a nested sealing Matrix, trapping her and the swarm in a shrinking cage.
The spread of the insect swarm has been effectively contained.
However, the War Personality, which was firmly 'locked', did not show any emotion and simply 'watched' the forty-three S-rank individuals.
Among them was Bai Ling's clone, the one who had dealt Wen Jing the fatal blow. Beneath the black robe billowing in the blast wave, cracked skin was revealed—a sign that the clone was about to succumb to the energy.
"One, three, two... a total of one hundred and four rule-level attacks need to be broken."
She calculated methodically.
As the Zerg swarm was surrounded, the situation on the four habitable planets was no better.
"Aaaaaah! It's coming at us!"
New 'moons' have appeared on all four Federation habitable planets.
The sky darkened in the part of the day hemisphere, while the moonlight was brighter than ever before in the part of the night hemisphere.
At this point, people standing on the ground could already see the surface of these resource planets with the naked eye.
Some are crisscrossed with rift valleys and impact craters; some are entirely covered in blue ice, chilling to the bone; some are shrouded in mist, with endless storms...
To the Federation, they were uninhabited resource planets that were difficult to transform into habitable ones, but in reality, they were completely under the control of the Mastermind.
At this moment, before any actual collision has occurred, the mere proximity of these celestial bodies has already caused drastic changes in the natural phenomena on the four habitable planets.
On the Azure Jade Star, the tides are in disarray.
The tide began to recede as the entire sea was sucked into the sky by the approaching planet, exposing the seabed. Schools of fish struggled in the mud, and various marine vehicles were stranded in the dried-up harbor.
The planet's gravity is pulling the seawater into the mountains, which are constantly rising higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye they are approaching 10,000 meters.
If this tsunami is unleashed, billions of tons of seawater will crash onto the ground, destroying everything in its path.
At this moment, no one has the energy to focus on the battle in space; the immediate crisis is what truly matters.
"Run!"
Many Awakened instinctively retreated into the Ancient Wilderness immediately.
Meanwhile, the unawakened ordinary people searched for cover, but quickly realized that no cover could be of any use at this time, and fell into despair.
Where else can we hide?
On School District Planet inhabited entirely by ordinary people, alarms blared in every corner.
This satellite, which has been transformed into Giant academy, is now facing the biggest crisis since its construction.
The entire planet was slightly deforming, buildings were creaking under the influence of gravity, and cracks were appearing on the training ground floor.
The students were evacuated to underground shelters, but many still stood by the windows, staring blankly at the sky.
The approaching planet was so large that it occupied half the sky.
On the nearby Red Earth Star, a dust storm blotted out the sun.
"We're doomed! The end of the world has come!"
The gravitational disturbance caused the Earth's crust to deform slightly, and sand grains were thrown into the air, forming sand walls as high as 10,000 meters, which moved in all directions.
People hid inside the building, listening to the roar outside, like a thousand horses galloping.
The approaching planet grew larger and brighter, illuminating the dust with an eerie white glow.
There are two resource stars heading towards Mystic Radiance Star.
The equatorial storm belt on Mystic Radiance Star began to churn violently, with wind speeds soaring from hundreds of kilometers per hour to thousands of kilometers per hour, and thunderstorms connecting in the clouds.
On the continents at the North and South Poles, buildings swayed in the resonance, and cities began to tremble.
The edge of the closest planet to the east appears blurred because Mystic Radiance's atmosphere has been stripped away by gravity, turning into a thin veil of mist.
Inside the Mystic Radiance Academy venue, many people had already entered the Ancient Wilderness.
Among the Federation's high-ranking officials, most of the wealthy and powerful have disappeared, and most of the mission members have already traveled back to the Empire. Of the three deans, only Ailin and Fu Yuan remain.
Xie Ming had no choice but to interrupt Wen Jing, who was closing his eyes and seemingly concentrating on something.
"Wen Jing, what should we do? What can we do? Should we enter the Ancient Wilderness?"
Wen Jing opened his eyes two seconds later, a glint of data flashing in them.
"Everything will be alright, trust me."
Her voice was clearly transmitted throughout the entire Federation via the live broadcast.
"How could nothing be wrong?"
Faced with the pressure of the apocalypse, most of humanity inevitably descended into chaos.
Some screamed, some cried, some went into a frenzy, and some stood frozen in place. Fear weighed heavily on everyone's heart, and few could remain rational at this moment.
Therefore, few people have realized one thing—why did the live broadcast continue smoothly despite such a large planetary disturbance?
On Mystic Radiance Star, the emperor's Clone closed his eyes again, raised his arm, and gently plucked the strings like a conductor.
If observed from a distance on a stellar scale, one can see four habitable stars: Mystic Radiance Star, Azure Jade Star, Red Earth Star, and School District Planet, each of which is also moving out of its original orbit.
The desperate people on the planet cannot feel this movement because the planet is too large, so large that any acceleration cannot be perceived by the human body.
But they can see the changes in the sky.
At its closest, that grayish-white rocky planet was less than 100 kilometers away from Mystic Radiance Star, and people on the surface could see its impact craters, abandoned mines, and factory ruins.
Then, it passed.
The grayish-white disc slid from one side of the sky to the other, growing smaller and smaller until it finally became a point of light and disappeared into the sea of stars.
"Huh? What's going on with the tsunami?"
On Azure Jade Star, the people gathered on various islands stared blankly at the enormous sea-mountain that seemed to stretch across the sky, and could even see the shadows of some Giant marine creatures within it.
But it seemed to have frozen in time, and did not fall for a long time.
The next moment, the mountain of seawater began to slowly descend, as if supported by some invisible force, falling inch by inch back to the sea surface.
On the Red Earth Star, beneath the towering sand walls, the massive shield that had been teetering on the brink of collapse stabilized.
The people gathered inside the shield watched as the sand outside slowly settled, falling like snowflakes.
On the School District Planet, the buildings no longer swayed, and the cracks in the ground stopped spreading.
The students emerged from the shelter and looked up at the distant planet, now only the size of a fist and still shrinking.
Suddenly, someone pointed to the other side of the sky. "Look! Over there—"
Everyone looked up.
On the sky above the School District Planet, a reddish-brown planet is slowly growing larger.
Not again?
The teachers' hearts tightened, and they instinctively looked at the students around them. "Quick, hide inside!"
However, a student quickly said, "There are people up there!"
It's not actually people, but rather city buildings.
Through the lingering effects of the sandstorm, one can clearly see the major highways and rows of high-rise buildings.
"That's... Ocher Soil?"
The teachers immediately recognized the planet before them and froze in place.
This same situation occurred on the other three habitable planets.
As the uninhabited planet receded into the distance, the four habitable planets moved closer together.
Because Wen Jing had cracked the Mastermind technology on the habitable planet, he was able to control the movement of the habitable planet in the same way that the other party controlled the resource planet.
However, compared to the Mastermind's indiscriminate destruction, she also needed to protect the humans on habitable planets. Therefore, this seemingly simple scene actually involved mobilizing various defense devices on habitable planets, Wen Jing's own various special abilities, and the support of the unified force field controlling the Alaya Stars.
Thus, while the War Personality were surrounded by S-rank individuals, an unprecedented spectacle was unfolding in the Federation Starfield.
Apart from the Tenth Mastermind Star, which was under attack and sealed off by the star field, the nine planets were like nine bouncing marbles, completely disregarding their orbits, constantly bouncing and crisscrossing within a spherical star field.
Meanwhile, the people on the planet's surface witnessed all sorts of magnificent sights that they could never have imagined in their dreams because of this 'planetary' war.
When habitable planets are closest to each other, if you look up at the sky, the sky above you will no longer be filled with clouds and stars, but will instead resemble the ground of other habitable planets.
Sometimes, you can even see three other habitable planets in the same sky at the same time, with equally eager and excited people hanging upside down there.
"Hello, everyone!"
The Azure Jade seawater, pulled by gravity, forms a water curtain stretching across the sky for thousands of miles. Sunlight shines through the water curtain, refracting into a seven-colored halo, turning the entire sky into a flowing rainbow.
Schools of fish swam in the water curtain, wagging their tails blankly, unaware that they were 'flying' in the sky.
Some of the seawater turned into rain and fell onto the opposite planet.
"Oh, wow! There are fish too!"
On the School District Planet, students reached out to catch the rainwater.
Most of those remaining on the surface are ordinary people, with a few Awakened, for various reasons, did not enter the Ancient Wilderness.
"Hahaha, this life has been worth it! I knew it! Wen Jing didn't call us into the Ancient Wilderness, which means everything will be alright!"
On the Red Earth Star, Wan Ling excitedly looked up at the Mystic Radiance Star that were passing by in the sky, and vigorously patted Yu Yang beside her.
The people who remained on the planet experienced initial panic, but after discovering they were safe and sound, their mindset shifted, and they fell into an indescribable frenzy, with all sorts of inspirations and ideas bursting forth.
