The Last Commander of the Red Alert -
Chapter 782: The Shadow Hall Plan (5)
"All members have failed, and the only one who came close to success ultimately died," a cold voice rang out.
"Heh, those were just pawns, they didn't have enough strength to complete this mission. Only we are capable!" another voice, sounding like it was scraping against glass, retorted.
"I've called you here this time to discuss the mission, and there's only one reward for it, which I want," said a Shadow Hall member who had undergone five evolutions. Without waiting for others to speak, he continued, "I know you all want this reward, but I can offer something else in exchange."
"What do you have to offer for a chance at stable evolution?" another voice sneered.
"A chance to go to another Empire!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining four Shadow Hall members shivered. If Shadow Hall were to be ranked, they would undoubtedly be the lowest-ranking members, even though they were considered high-ranking within the Rota Empire.
In the human star system, the Rota Empire's strength was among the weakest. They couldn't make significant contributions in this small region and were always overshadowed by other Shadow Halls in different areas.
Who wouldn't want to break free from the confines of this Empire? If they could enter another Shadow Hall elsewhere, perhaps they could advance further.
It could be said that this opportunity was equally crucial to them.
Between the Large Galaxy and Large Galaxy, there existed a vast expanse of interstellar space. In this space, there was only boundless darkness, with not a single planet in sight. Even a warship would find it challenging to navigate in such an environment, and the ultimate fate of those who got lost here was death.This made it extremely difficult to travel to other Empires, making this opportunity highly attractive.
"We have four people here, and one opportunity isn't enough."
This was a practical problem, but the person seemed to have already made up their mind. "You're mistaken; this opportunity is reserved for this brother here."
He pointed to another member among the five, who had also undergone five evolutions.
As Shadow Hall members, they didn't know each other's identities, but that didn't matter. As long as they were of the same race, they were comrades.
"Of course, you three, I also have something enticing enough to make you interested. It's an evolution elixir I used in the past, enough for three people, with a 35% success rate. Is that sufficient?"
An elixir with a 35% success rate was considered a priceless treasure anywhere, something that even money couldn't buy.
The three of them looked at each other, feeling tempted. After all, they had their own means, and even if evolution failed, they wouldn't lose too much strength at once, but there would be some backlash.
After careful consideration, they agreed to the trade. Even if they wanted the mission reward, they needed the strength to back it up, and the three of them were slightly inferior to the other two.
"Can we confirm this mission reward? What if we risk everything and end up with a fake?" someone asked.
"Heh, I've already confirmed it. The other party sent a full holographic recording, with no tampering. You can clearly see an ordinary human completing the evolution!" the member who wanted the reward said with a grin.
"In that case, I need this opportunity to go to another Shadow Hall. When do we strike?" asked another member who had undergone five evolutions.
"The opportunity to strike is now!"
Speaking, he took out something, which turned out to be a small Spatial Folding Device.
"Are you suggesting that we directly shuttle through the folded space and enter the interior of Rota Star?" someone speculated.
Generally speaking, ordinary people couldn't possibly do this. Even a Warship had to activate an energy shield before daring to enter. But as Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses, their physical strength surpassed that of Warships!
In other words, they could absolutely accomplish this!
"Yes, we can completely disregard the spatial compression and smoothly enter Rota Star. Once inside Rota Star, the rest becomes much simpler. The three of you need to create chaos around, preferably attracting most of the Powerhouses. Meanwhile, my brother and I will enter the Emperor's Palace and assassinate Emperor!" They discussed the rough plan and then opened the folded space, one by one, entering it.
They had no idea that every action of theirs was being observed by Su Chen.
"I never expected Shadow Hall to have five Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses, using Spatial Folding Devices to directly enter Rota Star. What a brilliant idea," Su Chen stroked his chin.
Since Shadow Hall was making a major move this time, there was no reason for the Red Alert Empire not to support them.
"Send orders to the front lines, let them launch a full-scale attack on the five major battlefronts, forcing the enemy to allocate all their resources. We must not give them any chance to escape!"
As long as there were no Powerhouses returning to the Rota Empire, this mission would be essentially secured. Once the Emperor of Rota Empire died, Su Chen had no idea how the empire would react, whether they would support a puppet leader or face collapse.
Regardless of the situation, it was good news for Su Chen.
"Libra, I hope you're safe."
At the same time, at the moment Libra was in, she was experiencing the destruction of the Qiluo Civilization!
She knew that the Qiluo Civilization had been accused of being human traitors due to their discovery of the secret of high-ranking humans and was being destroyed. But she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
In her research institute, a tremendously powerful Powerhouse had appeared. This was undoubtedly a Large Galaxy Ninth-level Peak who had completed the Cocoon Evolution, and the suffocating feeling left Libra struggling to resist.
"Oh, such a small research institute, yet it harbors a Large Galaxy-level powerhouse. Quite interesting."
As he spoke, the figure reached out directly, attempting to grab Libra.
Faced with this situation, even the second personality wouldn't be of any help.
Just as Libra was about to unleash her full power, the little beast she had been searching for suddenly appeared in front of her, emitting a burst of light. She and the little beast disappeared simultaneously.
Strangely, after she disappeared, the Powerhouse seemed to forget her existence, casually exterminating all life in the area before leaving.
Just a mere research institute was beneath his notice.
When Libra opened her eyes, she found herself in a dark environment, seemingly inside a cave, though she couldn't determine when she had arrived there.
"Did you bring me here? Can you take me back?" Libra asked softly while holding the little beast.
But the little beast still looked at her with an innocent expression, completely unaware of what she was saying.
Libra sighed. The little beast was her only way back. She had no choice but to carry it and move forward.
It wasn't until she emerged from the cave and saw a group of... Ghost Clan!
