Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1057 - 1057: Section 1038 - Notification

The blockade position was not aimed at the three who had just returned, but was in preparation for an emergency response.

At the same time, various weapons were aimed at the Stargate Ring that reappeared.

The "Wall of Sighs" task force suddenly returned to Blue Star, and the sovereigns had the task force temporarily stationed on Socotra Island, waiting for further instructions.

A long whistle sounded from afar as three green signal flares screamed toward the sky.

"Stand still!"

The single soldier tactical armor on the three automatically connected to the battlefield data link of the "Wall of Sighs" task force.

"What's going on? Hey, hey, we're not parasitized! Nor are we controlled!"

The S-Class Space Ability User paused, then quickly realized the situation.

Breaking away from the main group of the "Wall of Sighs" for such a short time, they've already lost trust. Can we still enjoy "playing" together?

"Calm down! Mr. Brown, it's standard procedure!"

Chen Fei was accustomed to it, having dealt with parasitic species often and understanding some measures are necessary.

If the roles were reversed, Chen Fei would be just as cautious.

"Sorry, it's the process. Please be patient, it will be quick."

Communications personnel who were in sync with the three expressed understanding and comforted Heseman Brown's unease.

"Can I put away the Stargate first?"

Chen Fei looked back at the towering Stargate, having broken through McKenny's blockade on spatial rules, allowing the "Wall of Sighs" task force to fully return to Blue Star; it was indispensable.

"Yes!"

Storing the Stargate in "Spatial Branding" was safer, less prone to accidents, and the "Wall of Sighs" task force's communications personnel agreed without hesitation.

Chen Fei waved his hand, and the Stargate instantly vanished from its place.

He now had two storage spaces, one is the complete form of "Spatial Branding," the other is the "Boundary Pearl." The former is a mark, the latter is an entity, and because the rules contained within are different, they are incompatible; neither can be stored within the other.

Compared to "Spatial Branding," the "Boundary Pearl" requires careful keeping, for if lost, it would be...

Actually, it's not so easy to lose, since it's bound by a spiritual power mark, Chen Fei can somewhat sense the position of the "Boundary Pearl," though there is still a risk of being snatched.

However, "Spatial Branding" and "Boundary Pearl" can easily be confused.

A small airship descended from the sky, landing beside Chen Fei and the others, and a dozen medical personnel donned in specialized sealed single soldier armor jumped down, surrounding them and scanning them thoroughly from head to toe using various equipment.

AI "Adam" impatiently flickered lines of text in the AR visual assistance interface, indicating detected fluctuations and devices scanning Chen Fei, all of which were useless information.

Unless pre-set, AI struggles to distinguish importance, as much information that's meaningful to humans makes no difference to AI.

Minutes later, Chen Fei, Heseman Brown, and Dang Wei Jun finally heard the alert clearance signal; it was a false alarm after routine security checks.

"Welcome back to Blue Star!"

The group boarded the small airship, quickly reaching a temporary military camp 15 kilometers away.

The "Wall of Sighs" task force had just arrived at Socotra Island not long ago and had already set up the camp efficiently in such a short time.

Initially, the ready-made city of "Atlantis" meant that many camp supplies had not yet been used, now they could be utilized properly.

The three were directly led to the central command of the camp, where Huang Xiulun personally greeted them, arranged for tea and seating, and straightforwardly asked, "Tell me about your situation. Why were you late?"

Everyone was familiar, once fellow alien strays, so no need for excessive politeness.

Once back to Blue Star, Huang Xiulun again became the commander of the "Wall of Sighs" task force; the former "Atlantis" king Chen Xiao'er was now irrelevant.

Didn't have to put up with this punk anymore, all military heads collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Packed up and returned! Oh, I picked up something as well, needs reporting to Sky Dragon City, preferably done officially."

Chen Fei took out the Fire Dragon Crystal stored in "Spatial Branding," its emitted heat rapidly raised the temperature in the command room just cooled by air conditioning.

"Huh? What is it? A Magical Beast's Heart Core? Could it be..."

Huang Xiulun's gaze fell on the hot crystal, unable to control his imagination running wild, mistakenly thinking it was McKenny's... Chen Fei interrupted his rambles.

"Fire Dragon's, unknown name, Dragon Crystal found outside should be reported to Sky Dragon City."

This Dragon Crystal, unlike the Metallic Dragon Osmium Osiris's Dragon Crystals that were useful to Chen Fei, was openly displayed; submitting or returning it to Sky Dragon City was fine.

The usual practice of reporting to Sky Dragon City was introduced to Chen Fei by the female Metallic Dragon Yilan, who often shared this information.

Thus, Chen Fei voluntarily offered up the Dragon Crystal, avoiding unnecessary disputes.

"Dragon Crystal? There's a Fire Dragon in Antalu?"

Huang Xiulun incredulously stared at the olive-shaped cut gem-like crystal in Chen Fei's hand.

They've been on Antalu Planet for so long, with reconnaissance drones and satellites forming a tight surveillance net, monitoring every inch of the surface, yet never saw a trace of a dragon, how could there be a Fire Dragon? If it existed, it would have been discovered long ago, not waited until now.

Nonetheless, reporting to Cangqiong Star's Sky Dragon City is necessary; in the battle against the "Sagali" civilization, gaining support from the dragons required complete transparency.

"'Sagali's puppet, vanguard of supermassive biological space mothership, luckily withdrew early. Well, receive the data."

Chen Fei stored the Dragon Crystal in "Spatial Branding" again, though tactical gloves isolated high temperatures, the heat radiation would roast his face, eventually baking him like a pig's head.

Taking advantage of the battlefield data link being connected, uploaded all information prior to entering the Stargate, letting the higher-ups view it themselves; he was too lazy to explain repeatedly.

The final scene on Antalu Planet, countless "Meteors" overwhelmed the sky, even "Atlantis's" "Skylight" and Protective Barrier would struggle to resist!

Having watched the video, the "Wall of Sighs" task force's command center fell silent.

Everyone was relieved, just as Chen Fei said, had they not retreated quickly, they might have been wiped out at the moment of returning to Blue Star, a true example of joy turning into sorrow, and hell would be filled with resentment!

"Indeed, 'Sagali' can't be underestimated!"

Huang Xiulun echoed Chen Fei's past sentiment; no civilization can be overlooked.

He then continued to ask, "What about McKenny? Any news about him?"

Uploaded information naturally included the massive creature soaring from the earth, even larger than the supermassive biological space mothership approaching Antalu Planet.

"No! Only tracked its departure from the atmosphere, estimated not yet engaged with the supermassive biological space mothership, at least 14 hours away."

Chen Fei spread his hands; traversing the void physically isn't easy.

The vast distance would make their confrontation a long-drawn-out affair, and Chen Fei doubted McKenny's ability to defeat the invaders.

The near 110,000-year timespan had irreversibly affected McKenny's "Seed Nest" entity, the fossil traces seen while traversing the underground Little World indicated McKenny was far from his prime now.
