The Nirvana Tower's Second Miracle Advancement, the Allied Forces and the Guta Federation
The ascension of the Nirvana Tower has begun!
Because Logo's soul and body have been deeply integrated with the Nirvana Tower, he is able to completely control the series of changes that occur during the Nirvana Tower's ascension process.
As the Abyss Power was drawn, this energy, representing the supreme power of the chaotic side, began to flow into the limbs, bones, and internal organs of the Nirvana Tower.
Within the hundreds of millions of energy circuits, the pale purple Abyss Power, like ink stains, began to climb upwards from the base.
During this process, the Miracle Trait the Nirvana Tower, which had been dormant deep within, were also stirred by Logo and began to slowly emerge.
Under the influence of these two forces, the Nirvana Tower advanced in an orderly manner.
Logo activated his Eye of Insight to the fullest extent, observing every minute corner of the entire Nirvana Tower. He also divided his computing power into tiny blocks, carefully observing the series of changes that occurred during this process.
Purple light and firelight collided and merged, space and Abyss opposed each other and then returned to unity, the process was smooth and natural, just like nature itself.
Logo's prediction was correct.
The "Freedom" characteristic, belonging to the chaotic side, has a high compatibility with the Abyss Power. It quickly merged with the power of the abyss and together they became the driving force for the quality advancement of the Nirvana Tower.
Buzz buzz buzz~!!
Rings of energy nested around the Nirvana Tower resembled expanding arcs of light, appearing beautiful and magnificent, yet also carrying an extreme sense of danger.
Turbulent currents of space blew past, but were swallowed and absorbed by the Nirvana Tower, turning into energy for its own advancement. The tower began to expand rapidly, filling the sky and earth, as if it wanted to occupy the entire world.
Wings of Freedom unfurled from nothingness and continued to spread, as if reaching the ends of space.
One after another, Void vortexes shimmering with silver-gray flames appeared, their shimmering energy light twinkling like stars. From afar, it seemed as if the deep Starry Sky had descended into the dimensional interlayer, mysterious and ancient.
Rumble--
The massive flow of Void Energy, like raging dragons, roared as it burst forth from the vortex, only to be devoured and absorbed by the Nirvana Tower, transforming into the power to advance to higher levels.
After an unknown amount of time, the Wings of Freedom trembled violently, and the Miracle Trait accumulated within the Nirvana Tower became even more profound, signifying that this alchemical tower, built by Logo himself, had finally completed its second upgrade in Miracle quality.
"It's not over yet, continue..."
Not satisfied, Logo intensified his energy absorption, creating more and more Void vortexes that grew larger and larger, forming an extremely terrifying sea of energy that enveloped the Nirvana Tower. As it rose and fell, it shimmered with dazzling arcs of energy, like an Eternity sun that never sets.
Just as Logo was about to ascend to the Nirvana Tower.
Planet Saila.
In the vast universe, glittering with starlight, a formidable array of cosmic warships, like a torrent of steel, trailing long, meteor-like tails of energy, patrols the high-magic planet like loyal guardians.
These spaceships vary in type and have distinct characteristics.
There are warships forged by the alchemical industry, as well as magical warships, but most of them are warships with technological features.
Frigates, destroyers, battleships, assault ships, speedboats, planetary fortresses... they have everything, countless in number, forming a vast ocean of warships, numbering over a million. A single salvo from them would likely overwhelm even a high-magic planet.
In the main control room of the planetary fortress codenamed "Oathkeeper," Marshal Lide Morgan of the Saila Empire solemnly surveyed the dozen or so figures seated there.
These people were representatives sent by the various imperial powers in the Elven Plane.
Vin, Iridescent Light, Soaring Dragon, Radiance...
They surrounded the silver-white metal table, behind which were representatives of other forces participating in the coalition. Because they did not meet the threshold for Imperial status, they were not qualified to sit at the table.
Above the metal table was a three-dimensional star map with a pale green glow, showing the territories of the major star systems under the Guta Federation. The locations of numerous war outposts, fortresses, and main fleets were marked with dots of different colors according to their level of danger. The most dangerous was the black dot representing Planet Saila itself, which at first glance looked like a vortex leading to Hell, emitting a ghostly black light.
"Based on the results of the summit discussions, I will assume the role of commander-in-chief for this campaign. I hope everyone will obey my orders without ulterior motives, and work together to defeat the evil Guta Federation, slay the evil god, and restore a bright future to the Elven Plane!"
Commander Lide spoke in a calm and steady voice.
He has a standard Saila People, an ordinary human face, and is no more than 1.7 meters tall. He is thin but strong. Because he follows the mechanical Transcendent system, his muscle fibers and internal organs have been modified and filled with various high-strength alloy materials. His weight even exceeds that of an asteroid, making him extremely fierce in combat. He also belongs to the Peak Demigod category.
The Saila People, once staunch allies of the Guta Star People, have now become the dominant force in the coalition. It must be said that the situation in the Elven Plane has changed far too quickly, catching everyone off guard.
Not long after Lide finished speaking, Nawaer, the representative of the Veyin Empire, spoke calmly, "Your command is sound, and we will naturally obey. But if the orders you give are different from the actual situation on the battlefield, are we obligated to follow them without question?"
This sounds reasonable, but anyone who understands the basic logic of how war works will realize that Nawaer is simply being nonsensical.
But Lide had no choice. In terms of overall national strength, the Veyin Empire was even stronger than the Saila Empire. If it weren't for the fact that its internal turmoil had not yet subsided, he probably wouldn't have gotten the position of commander-in-chief. It was normal for the other side to have some resentment.
So after thinking it over, Lide had no choice but to grant the major imperial powers corresponding autonomous command authority in order to ensure the smooth progress of the campaign. As for the kingdom-level powers below them, sorry, you are not qualified to make demands; just follow orders.
The meeting ended quickly because the issues that needed to be discussed had already been addressed at the previous summit, and once the allied forces were assembled, they could simply begin fighting.
Many people believe that even if the combined forces of so many imperial-level powers are dispersed, they can still overwhelm the Guta Federation with overwhelming force.
After all, the Guta Federation is currently rife with rebellions and filled with the smoke of war. With the existence of the evil god confirmed by Hefeisi, the Guta Star People chose to believe the words of this disciple of Elven, and many chose to rise up in resistance. This undoubtedly gave the allied forces a great boost in morale.
Looking at the empty conference table, a look of helplessness flashed in Lide's eyes. As a veteran of the battlefield, he certainly understood the harm of decentralizing command, but there was no other way. If they did not do so, the Allied forces would be in danger of collapsing and splitting on the spot.
"Hopefully... when the real fighting breaks out, nothing unexpected will happen!"
On the other side, Nawaer, the representative of the Veyin Empire, walked out of the conference room with a cold expression. His attendant, understanding his leader's mood, said indignantly, "The Saila Empire is no match for our Veyin Empire in terms of national strength, yet it has dared to usurp the position of commander-in-chief. It's laughable! Only you, sir, are magnanimous. Anyone else would have overturned the table long ago!"
Nawaer's expression softened slightly at his attendant's words, but he was still furious. He was never one to hold a grudge, and seeing Lide was on the same level as him, standing above him and giving orders was an insult to Nawaer.
"Hmph, just wait and see. If Lide makes a mistake in command after the war starts, we'll abandon him and go it alone!" Nawaer said resentfully.
The follower nodded hastily, a greedy glint in his eyes, and licked his lips, saying, "The Guta Federation is the richest nation in the entire plane. I've heard they have seven super-large resource vaults, filled with all sorts of strategic resources. If we could seize just one, we'd be rolling in it!"
Nawaer didn't say anything this time, but his eyes also gleamed with a light of greed.
Not only the Veyin Empire, but other imperial-level powers, and even kingdom-level powers, were all scheming about their own interests after the last military conference. In their hearts, the most important thing was never the victory of the war, but how to seize the greatest benefits. The massive allied fleet made many people put aside their fear of the appearance of the evil god, and at the same time greatly suppressed the hegemonic power of the Guta Federation that it had maintained for thousands of years.
Guta Federation!
Faced with the massive fleet that had gathered outside of Planet Saila, the Federation's top brass, including Baisuo Krashov, took the situation very seriously and mobilized troops to respond.
"How's the suppression of the internal rebellion going?" Baisuo clasped his hands together on the table and looked at a young-looking Guta Star People in front of him, who was none other than Akesiman, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
"According to the will of our God, aside from a few remnants left as bait, all the remaining traitors have been eliminated. Their resistance and Slaughter within their own races allowed our God to completely seize control of all the Guta Star People. Now, the entire Federation is in our hands. Next, we must help our God escape and Destruction the Elven Plane, making it a part of our Divine Power!"
Akesiman grinned maliciously, his words laced with a bloodthirsty, Slaughter aura. Such words would never have been heard in the past of the Ancient Guta Federation, but now, the high-ranking officials who heard his words all nodded in agreement with smiles, creating a scene of chaotic disarray.
Judging from this situation, the Guta Federation is not troubled by the rebels as the Allied Forces predicted. It has clearly united all its forces into Iron Fist, just waiting for the Allied Forces to crash into it.
Baisuo nodded slightly after hearing Akesiman's words, and then said, "In this war, my god will not interfere; I will have complete command. Do you have any objections?"
"No!" Even the unruly and wicked Akesiman bowed their heads simultaneously.
After Baisuo nodded in satisfaction, he said, "The strategic objective this time is to completely crush the Allied Forces and eliminate their main fleet. In terms of fleet numbers, we are at a significant disadvantage, but in terms of quality, we can overwhelm the Allied forces, especially the Nebula Class motherships. This is our trump card, and we must make good use of it. At the same time, the internal divisions within the Allied Forces are also a huge weakness. We can use counter-espionage to split them up internally, and then coordinate with military means to divide and conquer them, defend and counterattack, and devour these blasphemers who dare to offend our gods one by one."
As soon as he finished speaking, the high-ranking members of the Guta Star People present nodded in agreement. Among them, the Federation's Grand Marshal Leikesimai said, "We have set up a full twelve lines of defense in the surrounding star systems, with Nebula Class mothership stationed on each line, and we have also deployed the Crystal Energy Academy's latest technology, the ' Freezing Barrier.' It is absolutely capable of withstanding the Allied Forces' advance."
"As long as we can withstand the first wave of attacks, we can deploy an assault fleet to outflank and attack the coalition's rear stronghold planets. With the superior performance of our warships, we can defeat them one by one, destroy their supply depots and space stations, and disable their ability to fight continuously. We can also use the strategy of besieging strongholds and attacking reinforcements to gradually erode their support forces."
Marshal's words made Baisuo nod repeatedly. With a wave of his hand, he said decisively, "I'll leave the war to you. Don't worry about logistics. The Federation's various supply depots have enough resources of all types to last us for a thousand years. Just fight as fiercely as you can, don't be afraid of wasting them."
At this moment, Central Intelligence Agency Director Akesiman smiled slyly and said, "I suggest we set up several disguised fleets, pretending to be the fleets of different factions within the coalition, and launch a surprise attack while the other coalition forces are retreating, luring them into fighting each other!"
"That's a good idea." Baisuo's eyes lit up. Before he was corrupted by the Divine Power, his pride as Guta Star People wouldn't allow him to use such despicable means. But now, having completely fallen into demonic Baisuo, Byso felt no shame, but rather pride. We, the evil god's minions, are all about being as despicable as possible, aren't we?!
Upon realizing this, Baisuo immediately ordered Marshal Leikesimai to cooperate fully.
Leikesimai agreed without hesitation. He was in the same situation as Baisuo; his former war spirit had long since vanished.
With the conclusion of the highest-level meeting of the Guta Federation, the entire Federation has entered a state of full-scale war.
The two forces confronted each other across the Milky Way, with Endless cosmic fleets gathering like a mighty storm, flowing towards each other along the scattered veins of stars, and finally colliding with a deafening roar.
The low-magic planet called Sound Spirit Star, belonging to the Guta Federation, was once a famous travel destination, attracting tourists from all over the world. But now, this beautiful planet is like a withered flower, dying in the iron-blooded tide of steel and fire.
Through the wide-angle projection porthole of the Sound Spirit Star Space Station, one can see dense blue-green rays of light leaping from distant space, transforming into the majestic silhouettes of spaceships.
A piercing alarm blared in my ears, as if to tear my eardrums apart.
The Guta Star People officer stationed there had cold, bloodshot eyes, showing no fear whatsoever. He licked his lips and issued a series of orders, deploying his troops according to common offensive and defensive battle cases recorded in the tactics manual.
"Great, the war has finally begun! These cowardly bastards have kept me waiting for so long, my bones are practically rusting!" The garrison officer grinned cruelly, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust as he activated his crystal armor.
Meanwhile, the allied fleet on the other side launched an attack the moment it arrived.
"Fire! Smash them!"
This fleet belongs to the Saila Empire, designated as the 085th Guards Fleet. It is a first-class fleet of the Saila People and possesses formidable combat power.
As the order was given, the Saila fleet released countless assault boats and launched high-energy particle cannon attacks. In an instant, light cannons rained down across the Starry Sky, and the dazzling light instantly filled the outer space of the Sound Spirit Star. The colorful lights gave birth to flowers of death amidst the beauty.
Outside the Sound Spirit Star, six armed fortresses had already activated war mode. Their originally round bodies transformed, extending into a dense array of cannons that fired countless light particle cannons. At the same time, countless fearless crystal warriors split into three groups and swarmed out from the bottom of the armed fortresses to meet the dense array of assault boats, beginning a fierce battle.
"Activate, Freezing Barrier!"
The garrison officer of the Guta Star People gave another order, and outside the Sound Spirit Star, a curtain-like wave barrier quietly rose, like a mirror with imperceptible edges.
However, when the Saila fleet's attacks touched this seemingly thin barrier, most of the attacks seemed to Spatial Stasis, their speed greatly reduced. As a spiral-like wave rose, these attacks were reflected back, and the remaining ones were far from enough to break through the barrier's defenses.
Although the reflected rays lost their aim, they still caused some damage to the unsuspecting Saila fleet.
But what made the Saila People even angrier was that they had not received any prior notice and knew nothing about the Freezing Barrier.
"What kind of technology is this?" the commander of the Saila fleet asked, his face ashen.
The technical consultant he'd grabbed beside him hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know. It seems to be a combination of crystal technology and space science, but it also seems to involve some technological aspects..."
Is there a way to crack this?
"Not yet!" The technician was sweating profusely.
"Useless trash! What good are you?" Commander Saila roared, then immediately ordered, "Full power! Avoid the barrier of Sound Spirit Star! Clear out the outer armed fortresses first!"
Upon receiving the order, the Saila fleet immediately shifted its firepower. However, the Guta Federation also adjusted its tactics. Relying on its abundant resources and technological advantages, they actually managed to defeat the Saila fleet, forcing it to retreat in panic.
Meanwhile, a fleet belonging to the Central Intelligence Agency, hidden outside the Sound Spirit Star, disguised as the Veyin Empire fleet, dropped its disguise and, like a shark with its jaws wide open, chased after the retreating Saila fleet.
