Chapter 403 / Chapter 404
Their teamwork was far from perfect, or rather, incredibly poor.
Even though the seven teams were working together and trying to combine the power of seven different Emotional Spectrum during this process, the results were not very significant.
They were once seven different Legion, each going its own way, with different concepts and doing different things.
Now that they've been suddenly put together, there's nothing to discuss about their lack of genuine cooperation.
Simply gathering together for attack and defense is laughable. What's more important is to leverage the characteristics of different Emotional Spectrum to mutually benefit and complement each other. This is something they cannot do, and it's the most difficult thing for them to do.
With no achievements to show for it in the First, the entire Legion Incident was reorganized into seven parts. The seven small teams dispersed, and members with the same Emotional Spectrum of energy subconsciously gathered together, attempting to unleash even greater power to retaliate against the past.
However, this is also the most ironic thing: when members with the same amount of Spectrum energy gather together, their power does increase significantly, but their power becomes quite singular.
Such a singularity is laughable in the face of the First. For the First, the energy of a singular Emotional Spectrum is simply something that society has become more adept at absorbing.
Although the entire Fourth Legion was aware that something seemed amiss, there was no time for them to make significant corrections. They were now facing a life-or-death crisis; they had no time to indulge in thoughts of coordination.
However, the very next moment, the First, who was still chasing the Fourth Legion, suddenly stopped and looked out into the pitch-black outer space.
No, suddenly some small red dots appeared in this space, as if a meteor shower had appeared on the distant horizon!
But then, these meteors suddenly turned into raindrops, falling towards this small planet!
What followed was an incredibly intense feeling!
When the Sentinels reached the outer reaches of the asteroid, they did not land directly on it, but instead gathered together, Sentinels doing the exact same thing.
The heads were opened again, and beams of scorching particles continued to converge on them!
"Control their direction, don't let them all converge on one point, evenly surround the First, isolating him from the Fourth Legion!"
Meanwhile, on Earth, Emma Frost was methodically issuing her orders.
"This time, it's not just about using Sentinels to eliminate the First; more importantly, it's about solving the problems of the Fourth Legion!"
With a refreshed and energetic Emma Frost, she was able to command more and think of more things.
The overwhelming chestnut trees descended from the sky, striking the surface of this asteroid head-on. The particles emitted by countless Sentinels (Wang Zhao) converged into a dazzling river, firmly enveloping the First within it!
From above, the chestnut trees formed a circle around the First, yet they did not cause him any harm whatsoever!
The First was enveloped in the intense beam of particles, completely cut off from contact with the Fourth Legion, thus finally giving the Fourth Legion a chance to catch its breath.
The Fourth Legion, which had been divided into seven parts, finally came together.
We need to cooperate!
The seven squad leaders from different units exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts almost without needing to say a word!
This is a tacit understanding forged in the face of life and death, a shared and sole thought; any other thought will only lead to death!
Chapter 403
"Shouldn't we have the Sentinels launch the attack directly?"
The staff member next to him hesitated before asking.
At this moment, the particle beam gathered by the Sentinels formed a complete circle, firmly trapping the First within it, completely covering it like a long tube of light.
To others, this was a golden opportunity to attack. All they had to do was control the Sentinels in a circle and direct it toward the giant dragon in the center. Eventually, all the light would converge on the First, leaving him with nowhere to escape!
Imagine the power of a particle beam emitted by an entire Legion of Sentinels.
"There's no need to do that. Firstly, we don't know if the First had a way to defend against it, and secondly, this time the Sentinels aren't going to take over the main attack positions; the Fourth Legion will still be in charge of the main attack positions!"
But Emma Frost shook her head and refused.
"Their arrival this time is timely. On the one hand, it provides a powerful opportunity for several military units to coordinate their operations; on the other hand, it allows each Legion to identify its own weaknesses."
Emma Frost's eyes were resolute.
"Even if all Legion suffer some losses as a result, these losses are acceptable to us. Only in this way can the true value of the Legion be demonstrated. Perhaps it is for this reason that His Supreme has recognized this point, which is why he has only been observing quietly without intervening until now!"
As Emma Frost spoke, she glanced at a separate computer placed beside her.
Whether on the battlefield on Earth or on the battlefield on asteroids, each has its own observation equipment, and the data streams compiled by these observation equipment are all gathered at the command center of the Utopia Alliance headquarters.
Will this data be processed optimally here? But at the same time, this data is also backed up and sent to another location, namely the city of Manhattan, where the initial request to receive it was made.
Such an application, originating from the residence of the Supreme Being, is so obvious that it requires almost no thought to understand who is seeking this information.
After all, all Su Chen could see while staying at home were Sentry robots and the New Mutants from the Third Legion flying around. He had no idea how far things had progressed.
This request can both obtain accurate data and express a clear attitude.
This time, you're in charge of the battle!
In Su Chen's home, several large monitors are simultaneously turned on, and Su Chen is sitting on the sofa with his sister and Hit-Girl in his arms, watching the video feeds sent back from these large screens as if watching a movie.
"That big guy looked really scary."
Su Shan chattered on and on while eating popcorn.
Compared to each other, the two battlefields each had their own distinct characteristics in the eyes of these two girls.
The battlefield in outer space is complete with sound, light, and color effects. Seven different colored energies are clashing with each other, and the addition of Sentinels makes it an apocalyptic scene.
While there aren't as many special effects on Earth, the intense, head-to-head action still looks quite exciting. However, judging from the slightly furrowed brows of the two girls, it seems that the battle on Earth isn't quite to their liking.
In particular, Steppenwolf's wrinkled and scarred face clearly doesn't fit the aesthetic of a young girl.
"This guy's fighting ability is not bad. He's the Legion of the Third Legion. If I remember correctly, he gets stronger as the battle goes on. It's quite remarkable that he's been able to hold out against the Legion commander until now. But he seems to still have some energy left."
Su Chen, sitting in the center of the sofa, offered his objective evaluation.
"The Third Legion is really going all out this time, and their power is truly astonishing. Even I didn't expect that as New Mutants, they could unleash such immense power."
Su Chen nodded again, his tone revealing a hint of satisfaction.
"However, because they haven't participated in as many battles as other Legion, they seem to have overlooked one thing..."
Su Chen looked at the information transmitted back from the battlefield on Earth, carefully examining the battle situation, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I wonder when they'll realize this..."
As Su Chen spoke, he leaned back on the sofa in a more comfortable position.
It was unclear whether the Third Legion had discovered what Su Chen had said, but Emma Frost, in the Utopia Alliance's operations command center, seemed lost in thought.
"It's strange. This army that has arrived on Earth seems to be single-mindedly fighting us, which doesn't seem to fit the concept of invasion..."
Emma Frost shook her head, looking somewhat puzzled, and said...
"Logically speaking, if they found themselves unable to occupy this planet, or even if they might not win, they would never have stayed for so long. The Third Legion could fight them to a standstill, but it couldn't stop their retreat. What exactly are they trying to do by staying on Earth?"
Emma Frost continued, her brow furrowed, as she spoke.
On the battlefield, after a head-on clash with the Legion of the Third Legion, Steppenwolf retreated again, his legs carving two deep scars into the ground.
"Find them for me right now! If there are soldiers stationed nearby, don't just rob them; try to steal them!"
Steppenwolf turned around and spoke loudly in a language only Parademons could hear!
The Parademons have a more important mission, and Steppenwolf only needs to hold out until this mission is completed, after which he can retire gracefully!
It seems that if the Parademons fail to complete this mission, even I might not be able to hold out for much longer!
That mad dog on the other side is incredibly ferocious, and it seems to be getting stronger!
After understanding Steppenwolf's words, the surrounding Parademons seemed to become even more restless!
Meanwhile, in places unnoticed, some Parademons had already quietly escaped!
The Parademons dispersed too quickly; the Utopia Alliance only managed to stop the main body of them, while a small portion escaped in other directions around Earth.
Chapter 404
From the very first order, whether it was the First Legion or the Third Legion, their ultimate goal was the battlefield where the Steppenwolf were located.
Of course, the root cause of all this was the previous angry female commander. It was also because of this reason that the First Legion arrived at the battlefield at the fastest speed, and then the Third Legion relentlessly eroded this Parademons Corps with a frenzied attitude.
In this way, all the Parademons on the entire battlefield were contained. However, because some Parademons had already escaped and temporarily fled to various parts of the world, they were beyond the reach of the Third Legion, which had now fully assembled.
Fortunately, although some escaped, they were a minority, a very small number of individuals. Such a small number of Parademons did not pose a significant danger.
A single Parademons can be dealt with by ordinary members of the Utopia Alliance; sometimes, even members of the Headless King Alliance aren't needed, as ordinary civilians can inflict some effective damage on them.
After all, their greatest danger may not come from the individuals themselves, but from their numbers. When their numbers are all combined, their attack is considerable.
With this biggest danger factor removed, individual Parademons are unlikely to cause much of a stir on Earth.
It's important to understand that while the power of Parademons far surpasses that of ordinary humans, ordinary people on Earth have become a rare species. The majority of people on Earth now are New Mutants!
Although their offensive power is not as strong as that of the members of the Third Legion, each member of the Third Legion is a carefully selected group of the most combat-capable New Mutants or those who can best enhance the strength of the Legion.
But at least they are Mutants who possess mutant abilities!
Aside from casualties caused by panicked escapes, there were almost no civilian casualties. Three to five residents working together, their mutant abilities were more than enough to deal with a single Parademons.
These scattered Parademons, like snowflakes on the sea, immediately disappeared into the turbulent ocean once they entered the sea.
It seems they didn't play a very significant role.
However, what no one noticed was that a small group of Parademons had secretly gathered and were heading towards several designated locations without stopping!
Those scattered, isolated Parademons are nothing but a smokescreen. Even the Legion currently engaged in fierce fighting are just a diversion. The most important thing is these small squads, who have come to Earth to complete the most crucial mission that the entire Legion must accomplish!
One of the small teams came to the surface of the sea and circled for a long time, seemingly to determine their location. After finally confirming their location, they plunged into the sea!
Despite the turbulent underwater currents and the numerous casualties suffered by the small team, they eventually reached the seabed, where the underwater world seemed exceptionally different.
It wasn't just some boring sand and gravel and shipwrecks, but a cluster of ancient buildings that looked incredibly exotic!
Judging from the messy traces above, it seems that this community once suffered some kind of fierce battle, and now the community is completely deserted.
If any members of the Utopia Alliance were here, they would be astonished to discover that there were even some of the Sentinels remains among them.
When Su Chen first arrived on this Earth, his first order to the Sentinels was to eliminate all threatening armed forces.
This includes all human kingdoms on Earth, as well as the kingdoms of other races closely related to humans!
For example, the Atlantis Clan have now truly become eternally resting underwater.
Their technology far surpassed that of ordinary human nations, so they naturally suffered a merciless attack from the Sentinels!
The Sentinels' streamlined bodies allow them to move freely not only in the air but also in the water. Furthermore, their exceptional adaptability has enabled them to evolve unique skills specific to the water.
···Requesting 0 flowers ·····
The most critical point is that although the Sentinels cannot emit flames underwater, the high-energy particle beams from their heads can still attack this ancient architectural complex with impunity, and most of the damage is attributed to these high-energy particle beams.
The Kingdom of Atlantis, which disappeared from human history, has truly vanished from the earth without a trace this time.
Their technology, their weapons, and their wealth remain, but this is unknown to ordinary people, and even to the Utopia Alliance.
In the dim underwater environment, the small team exchanged hand signals and then, as if following some clue, rushed towards a pile of ruins!
0...
Pulling, tugging, hugging, and embracing, the scattered stones on the ruins were quickly cleared away. It was a building that was solid on the outside but hollow inside, like a tower.
Inside the central control building, the Parademons carefully took out a square box embedded with a certain nail!
Upon seeing this box Parademons' faces lit up with joy!
This was the first time they had ever shown such an expression.
Immediately afterwards, they triggered some kind of command device, and the terrifying Boom Tube beside them re-formed. They had gone through countless hardships to get here, but to return, they only needed to press a small signal transmission switch.
After all, they are secondary; the box in their hands is the main thing!
With a tremendous roar, the ancient architectural complex, which had long been dilapidated, returned to silence once again.
It was as if no living being had ever been here, nor had any living being taken anything...
As for the fresh traces of destruction left by the Parademons moving things, they will soon be covered with various marine creatures over time and eventually be completely covered up.
After all, the former owners of this city have long since vanished into the annals of history. Without an owner, the entire complex has long lost its true meaning. V.
