Chapter 186: The Metal Enova of Level-Seven

Yuri started by tuning into the military’s live stream. Right away, he saw a giant beast standing at the front lines of the insectoid army, casually batting away human-fired artillery with a flick of its claw—

"Holy moly, those cannons are like toy guns in its eyes, barely scratching an itch for it."

"Have we used our maximum firepower?"

"It’s been escalating from level-seven, now we are at level-nine. The next round should be level-ten."

"Yuri managed to obliterate a level-eight insectoid with level-ten firepower. Even if it doesn’t kill this insectoid queen, it should severely injure it, right?"

"Well, you might not know, but Yuri had to slice open the hard shell of that level-eight insectoid and place the barrel right against its wound before firing the level-ten artillery. So, from such a distance, a completely unscathed level-nine insectoid queen facing level-ten firepower, it’s hard to say if it will be seriously wounded."

"Level-ten firepower is coming, let’s hold our breath and wait."

Suddenly, the screen fell silent.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, several level-ten cannons simultaneously launched towards the level-nine insectoid queen. They detonated before even reaching the queen.

The insectoid queen swiped at nothing but air.

The screen was left filled with a gray haze.

Everyone outside the screen held their breath, their eyes practically glued to the display. The soldiers on the ground were just the same.

A furious roar echoed.

The level-nine insectoid queen opened her massive mouth and blew away the smoke.

"Dang, it’s unscathed."

"Only a faint black ash on its body indicates the level-ten artillery was there at all."

"Can you imagine? Several level-ten cannons, all ineffective."

"Hey, although it’s okay, look, the insectoids behind it are dead from the shockwave. Quick, look."

"No wonder it’s furious. Look, it’s about to attack."

"...."

Inside the warship’s command room, Officer Lyao sternly ordered, "Keep bombarding it with level-ten firepower, lure it in. Notify our fleet, as soon as the level-nine insectoid queen moves, immediately rescue the people on the ore planet."

"Yes, sir." The soldiers promptly issued orders to the various ships and mecha fighters.

"Sir, the level-nine insectoids are approaching."

"Fall back. Don’t stop the bombardment."

"Sir, the level-nine insectoid queen is moving too fast."

"Don’t stop the fire, keep bombarding."

"It’s caught up to us."

The massive warship was toppled over by the level-nine insectoid queen’s enormous head.

Inside the warship, people felt the world spin. Some hastily clung to whatever was nearby to steady themselves, while others tumbled around with the rolling ship, crashing from side to side, bloodied and bruised.

"All personnel retreat, the level-nine insectoid queen is coming back." Amidst the chaos, Officer Lyao’s anxious voice echoed.

"Sir, we’re about to breach."

"Don’t care, retreat quickly."

"Yes, sir."

"It’s too late, it’s here."

Hiss hiss hiss—

The line went dead.

In the live stream room, tears streamed down the faces of the audience.

"It swallowed our soldiers, our warship, in one gulp..."

"That was a medium-sized warship."

"My older brother was on that battleship. Oh God, I have to go back and be with my parents, they must be devastated. Even though we were mentally prepared, they probably can’t take it when it actually happened."

"I just enlisted. I’m undergoing training and will be on the battlefield soon. When that day comes, I hope my family and friends won’t grieve. I will die honorably, for the Alliance, for our homeland. I have no regrets."

"I’m just an omega. Your words moved me to tears. I can only bow in respect."

"The Alliance loses hundreds of thousands of soldiers every year. It’s terrifying when you think about it."

"The stability and peace of the Alliance costs countless lives."

"..."

Seeing this, Yuri felt a heavy burden in her heart.

She switched to another broadcast, which was from the ore planet.

There were miners and soldiers stranded there.

Yuri saw the soldiers using artillery to keep the insectoids from landing, saw Perseman and Boan’s mechas; she also saw the miners sitting together, faces ashen, hands tightly clasped. Some of the miners were using opticomputers to contact their families, crying face to face with their loved ones...

Yuri’s eyes stung, and she quickly switched back to the previous screen. She needed to observe the level-nine insectoid and find its weaknesses.

It was still squatting in front of the insectoid army, with two green eyes as big as Yuri’s mecha.

Suddenly, a bolded line appeared on the screen.

"The level-ten firepower didn’t kill it. I wonder if Yuri could make a difference."

"Yuri is pregnant. Don’t make such assumptions."

"Yuri is pregnant, not sick."

"If it’s just using psychic power, being pregnant or not doesn’t make much of a difference, right?"

"Be a human, please. Before you ask Yuri to do something, why don’t you go do it yourself?"

"If I had the power, would I wait for you to tell me what to do? I would have gone a long time ago."

"I heard from a reliable source that Yuri’s child has been transferred to an artificial womb, and she’s currently on her way to the energy stone ore planet."

"Yuri has given up so much for the Alliance."

"The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"..."

Seeing this, Yuri frowned, "Who leaked the information?"

Tuss’s expression also cooled down, "Probably a spy from the Empire. I will message Xiva and Commander Ho and tell them to be careful."

Yuri felt a little uneasy, but she didn’t say anything.

Tuss hugged her and said, "They will protect our child, don’t worry."

Yuri nodded and said, "This is a queen insectoid, its psychic power should not be weak. I will enhance your Sea of Consciousness shield first."

After fully connecting, it was as easy for Yuri to enter Tuss’s Sea of Consciousness as it was to enter her own backyard. Whether it was cleaning up his Sea of Consciousness or constructing a shield for his Sea of Consciousness, it was a piece of cake for her.

After enhancing Tuss’s Sea of Consciousness shield, Yuri took out the metal from her dimensional button and used Enova to transform them into thin strands.

Seeing this, Tuss joined her in her work. After they finished one strand, they would store it in the dimensional button.

"Considering the size of the level-nine insectoid, we need at least a thousand meters of this wire to pierce through it," Tuss said.

"Then let’s make two thousand meters of it. You take one side, I take the other, and we’ll cut it in half," Yuri said, gritting her teeth.

Tuss imagined the scene and nodded, "That could work."

"I have to admit something, after your months of feeding, my metal Enova has reached level-seven. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to discourage you," Yuri said while watching Tuss’s reaction.

"I know. I have to admit something too. Mine has also reached level-seven. The level-six facade was something I deliberately showed you," Tuss said calmly.

In those months, in order to provide Yuri with metal genesis, he had been frantically looking for metal mines. He used up all of his Enova every day, leading to his breakthrough.

Yuri’s eyes widened, "Why did you hide it?"

"You were the one who hid it from me first. I just wanted to see what you were up to," Tuss said innocently.
