The Eternal Night Star System, Planet Avitan.
This planet is not the home planet or capital of the Star Pupil Protoss, but a very prosperous and important administrative planet. It is a top-tier large colony planet of the entire civilization, with a superior location, similar to a trading port, and is an important economic center. It has a permanent population of over 12 billion and handles a huge number of foreign people every day.
In a major city on the Planet Avitan, hovercrafts shuttle between towering skyscrapers, and the Star Pupil Protoss, born with the ability to fly, come and go along the flight routes planned by the transportation system. The city (https://m. hetushu. com. com) is a place of prosperity and peace.
However, on this very day, the peace of Planet Avitan was shattered.
A blackish-red meteorite suddenly appeared in outer space, falling at high speed. The observation radar could not detect the meteorite's previous trajectory at all, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
The meteorite was falling at an extremely high speed, heading straight for the main city, leaving the Planet Avitan- based fleet very little time to react.
Countless fully automated planetary floating air defense arrays deployed in the atmosphere reacted swiftly, releasing massive amounts of dark energy that condensed into an outer orbital capture net stretching for hundreds of miles, blocking the meteorite's path.
This device is generally used to capture meteorite clusters. Dark energy is almost materialized and has extremely strong elasticity, toughness and ductility. It can use the tens of thousands of meters of distance between the atmosphere and the ground as a buffer zone to cover the meteorite and eliminate its kinetic energy.
However, the meteorite pierced through the outer orbit capture net as easily as a knife cutting through silk.
The planetary floating air defense array immediately implemented the second plan, firing countless tracking annihilation rays in preparation to intercept the meteorite at high altitude and reduce it to ashes. However, this also failed. The meteorite seemed indestructible and also possessed some kind of anti-targeting capability, misleading the radar's judgment, and a large number of annihilation rays missed their target.
Looking up at the sky from the ground, one can see numerous eerie black spots of light formed by annihilation rays dissolving the air.
Waaaaah--
At the same time, air raid sirens sounded throughout the city where the meteorite was about to fall. Countless entrances to underground Sanctuary were exposed on the city's surface, and a large number of citizens took refuge in nearby underground Sanctuary. The streets quickly became deserted and empty.
At this moment, the city also activated its super-large protective shield, protecting the entire city and preparing to withstand the impact of the falling meteorite. Thousands upon thousands of anti-aircraft dark energy cannons extended from the ground at the city's edge, firing in unison towards the sky, like black rain falling from the earth.
Outside the city's protective shield, the Calamity Grade Star Pupil Protoss, who guarded the city, floated in mid-air.
The dark red meteorite, wreathed in raging flames, rapidly magnified in his deep blue pupils.
"The flames are too thick to see the meteorite's exact shape. It's about to hit the ground; I have to intercept it!"
This Protector was a Calamity Grade telekinetic master. He looked up at the meteorite, which was falling faster and faster, and frantically released his telekinetic power, stacking it in front of the meteorite, hoping to stop it or deflect it from its trajectory.
But he was shocked to discover that his telekinetic energy would dissipate on its own once it came into contact with the meteorite, and it could not form an obstacle at all.
"What on earth is this thing...?"
The meteorite accelerated rapidly in the next second, crashing through the city's protective shield and landing in the city center.
Bang!!
The ground was blasted open, creating a crater hundreds of meters wide. The tornado-like flames quickly dissipated, revealing the full appearance of the "meteorite." It was a pitch-black humanoid creature, as if formed from condensed mist, with billowing black smoke rising from its body. It had no facial features, but its face was a vortex with a red point of light at its center, which seemed to be its core.
It is an avatar of the Sorokin!
The observation satellites of Planet Avitan looked down from high altitude and broadcast the situation to other cities on the planet. The actions of the Sorokin's avatar were witnessed by billions of people.
The garrison on Planet Avitan had already sensed something was wrong. The city's Protector, along with their superhuman guards, attempted to surround the Sorokin avatar, while the garrison fleet was also in action. Ships resembling shuttles were rapidly assembling, and most of Planet Avitan's armed forces were rushing to the attacked city.
However, the next moment, the actions of the Sorokin's avatar directly caused global panic.
He spread his arms to the sides, his energy level surged dramatically, and terrifying energy rapidly condensed, like a supernova about to explode!
Buzz!!
The next instant, a blinding light forced all the people of Planet Avitan watching the satellite broadcast to close their eyes, and then a burst of radiation interference forcibly cut off the satellite's observation.
Even without a broadcast, the entire population of Planet Avitan felt it...
The ground beneath our feet trembled!
A black and red energy sphere, centered on the Sorokin's avatar, rapidly expanded, becoming enormous and engulfing the entire city. From outer space, it looked like a black pimple growing on the earth.
The energy sphere expanded throughout the entire city, seemingly reaching its maximum extent.
Suddenly, the energy sphere split into two layers. The outer layer decayed, its color lightened, and it maintained its original size, while the inner layer began to shrink rapidly, looking like a large, light black hemisphere covering a small, dark red hemisphere.
When the inner layer shrank to half its original size, the entire energy sphere seemed to lose its balance. Both the inner and outer layers exploded with a deafening roar, turning into radioactive explosive energy, and the shockwave swept everything away!
Boom--
The earth groaned, and a network of deep rift valleys was born from the city. The city's Protector, the ground troops, and all the citizens of the underground Sanctuary were reduced to ashes in this cataclysmic explosion.
It's like the end of the world!
After an unknown amount of time, the aftershocks of the explosion finally subsided, and the main city was erased from the map, no longer existing.
All the skyscrapers were leveled, leaving only enormous sinkholes and crisscrossing rift valleys.
The entire city was wiped out.
The Sorokin's avatar slowly rose from the bottom of the sinkhole, bursting through the dust and being exposed in the satellite imagery.
He paused briefly in mid-air, then suddenly flew off in one direction, towards the location of another city.
The satellite broadcast resumed, and everyone on Planet Avitan saw the scene; everyone seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
An overwhelming panic gripped everyone's heart.
Just minutes after the "Big Bang," every interstellar news channel of the Star Pupil Protoss immediately interrupted its broadcast with emergency news, reporting the events that had occurred on Planet Avitan to the entire civilization.
Meanwhile, a fleet escorting Sisko's vehicle set sail from the Star Pupil Protoss's homeworld to support Planet Avitan.
Three "Light Fox" spaceships, maintaining stealth mode, are quietly hovering in an area not far from the Star Pupil Protoss's home planet.
"Sisko has been deployed; the first step was a success!"
Eklin grinned menacingly and clenched his fist excitedly.
Sisko is based on the home planet, and the Evolution Cube is stored there. Only by luring Sisko away can one have a chance to steal the Evolution Cube.
Sisko's weakness lies in his emphasis on his race. If a Beyond Grade A Sorokin avatar is deployed to an important colony and massacres the Star Pupil Protoss, Sisko will definitely leave his home planet to provide support. This is a clever, albeit deceptive, strategy.
Unless Sisko disregards the lives of the people on that planet, he has no other choice.
The first clone was endowed with extremely destructive powers by the Sorokin.
The Sorokin can create countless clones, but this is not without limitations. Although he possesses countless supernatural abilities, his clones cannot use them all. Only when the main body transfers the supernatural abilities to the clones can the clones possess these abilities. The main body cannot use the supernatural abilities that have been transferred to the clones until the clones are destroyed or actively deactivated.
For example, if he gives ten superpowers to his clones, those ten superpowers are temporarily frozen. The original body cannot use them, nor can they be given to a second clone. Simply put, different individuals cannot use the same superpower at the same time.
Therefore, the Sorokin tirelessly collect supernatural abilities, not even letting go of duplicates, not just to synthesize Extremely Hazardous Esper Ability List.
"Once Sisko arrives on Planet Avitan, it will be time for us to make our move," Orosen chuckled.
Eklin nodded, looked at the second Sorokin avatar beside him, and asked, "Your Sorokin, please wait a moment. We will act when the time is right."
"Um."
The second Sorokin avatar nodded.
This clone is controlled by the original body, whose main consciousness has been projected here. Eklin and the others are directly communicating with the Sorokin far away in the Central Galaxy.
This second clone was endowed with numerous supernatural abilities, including invisibility, regional teleportation, shielding from detection, and mental manipulation.
He had been using his powers to conceal everyone's presence and his psychic abilities to shield Sisko from the vast telekinetic perception covering their home planet. This allowed them to remain hidden right under Sisko's nose, lingering near their home planet undetected.
The main force behind stealing the Evolution Cube was this second Sorokin avatar; only he could silently send Eklin and the others to the Evolution Cube's storage location.
As for the third clone, it had been lying in ambush on Planet Avitan for a long time, and its mission was to cooperate with the first clone to hold off Sisko.
The abilities of the third clone are mostly control-type superpowers.
Although the clone is at the Beyond Grade A, it is still just a clone and is no match for Sisko. One clone alone cannot hold out for long, but two clones working together can hold Sisko off for enough time to prevent him from returning to his home planet.
As for the reason why the Sorokin was so confident in his scheme to obtain the Evolution Cube, it was because he possessed the only detailed information on the Evolution Cube.
Evolution Cube are no small items.
Without instructions, nobody knows how to carry the Evolution Cube around!
