Chapter 569: Chapter 298: The Action Begins - Scattering EMP_2 Everywhere

Wu Yanqing thought it was enough that he specifically came to unlock the gene inhibitor for him, preventing him from being killed due to the tremors of the ship.

After some thoughts, the words that came to his mouth were only four: "Be careful."

Li Ming nodded, then quickly left the place. Wu Yanqing still hadn’t fully reacted until the cabin violently shook again, causing the metal walls to begin compressing and deforming.

His complexion slightly changed, a blue storm surged around him, and he rose into the air, floating in midair.

When leaving the room, Li Ming’s figure was no longer in the corridor, only the red flashing lights of the emergency alarm were visible.

With countless doubts in his mind, he unconsciously came to the door of Li Ming’s prison cell. Peering through the cracks in the metal prison door, he saw a crimson scene.

...

Meanwhile, in the command center of the Circular Crown Guard’s flagship, it was pitch-dark, lit only by the constantly flashing red lights of alarms, sweeping across the faces of many commanders filled with fright and unease.

Finally, the trembling ship gradually stabilized.

"We... held them off!" a commander suppressed his excitement of surviving the ordeal and let out a deep shout.

Asimara still stood straight in front of the window. Almost no light was present among the United Fleet’s ranks; the warships floated silently, resembling dead ships.

The Star Stream Dark Tide brought not only powerful energy shocks but also brutal electromagnetic disturbances.

Because, in the last moments, they tightened their formation into a cone shape, which greatly intensified the localized defense strength.

Therefore, only some warships on the periphery of the formation were engulfed in the Dark Tide, torn into pieces, with aftershocks still occurring.

But the majority only suffered system crashes due to electromagnetic interference.

"Quickly restart!" Asimara’s face showed no excitement; she knew this was the most dangerous time. The completely defenseless United Fleet could allow the enemy to break through immediately.

Without her saying, the command center became busy. Accompanied by a deep humming sound, systems began to restart, and the energy distribution system was the first to come online, with extinguished lights gradually flickering.

"Skip self-check, rebuild the regional communication network!" Asimara said in a stern voice, staring fixedly at the distant desolate starry sky.

"Prince Bai Jiang, please head to the starry sky first. With the Yitelan emergency command, gather all Level-A life forms. Before the defensive lines are fully reinstated, do not let any enemy Level-A life form launch an attack."

Asimara turned to look at Prince Bai Jiang.

Prince Bai Jiang, also aware of the urgency, didn’t hesitate at all, solemnly nodded, and turned to leave immediately.

Just two or three minutes later, a purple Flowing Light flew out from below, already clad in heavy combat armor, lifting an Energy Cannon on its shoulder, quickly charging up.

It emitted a purple Energy Light Column, which was not for attack but exploded into a radiant thorn flower, dazzling and conspicuous.

Soon, numerous lights converged from fleets in all directions, totaling thirteen radiances.

These Level-A life forms, not only from the Yitelan Civilization, but several also from other civilizations of the Silver Star Cluster.

Asimara finally breathed a sigh of relief. By this time, the entire command center was already lit up, with various data appearing on the screens.

"Regional communication network is being constructed, calculating losses..."

"...Your Highness!" Suddenly someone shouted, Asimara’s gaze sharpened immediately, and just as she looked over, her vision suddenly went dark.

Buzz--

The command center went dark again.

"What’s going on?" Asimara’s complexion changed, she suddenly turned her head to look, only to find other warships were fine, restarting in an orderly fashion.

The many operators were also clueless, raising their hands, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What now?" the commanders tightened, as the system restart wasn’t complete, and the warning monitoring mechanism was not yet online.

The sudden occurrence left everyone baffled.

"Did you find anything?" Asimara pondered for a moment, then looked towards the soldier who had just shouted.

"Just now, the system was self-checking, though it wasn’t complete, yet the prison doors of the restricted area showed a breach status."

"The Restricted Area?" Asimara’s face changed dramatically; the two individuals inside the restricted area were extremely important and could not be compromised.

"The Restricted Area? Li Ming?" Feder could not help but look over.

The usually silent Gabriel’s eyes flickered urgently, asking: "Which cell was breached first?"

The soldier on duty shook his head: "Because the system was offline at the time of breach, there’s no timestamp."

"I’ll go check." Gabriel said in a deep voice, Luo Nan furrowed his brows.

Asimara hesitated, knowing Gabriel’s special identity, she didn’t want him to be too troubled,

but currently, there was no one else available, both Li Ming and Wu Yanqing were only Level B Life Forms, with Luo Nan around, it should...

Gabriel didn’t ask for permission, he had already walked out, and Luo Nan followed closely behind.

"Remember, neither Li Ming nor Wu Yanqing can be killed!" Asimara commanded coldly.

Feder hesitated to speak, yet he felt a bad premonition inside.

Outside the door, Gabriel looked at Luo Nan, "It’s up to you now."

Luo Nan nodded, extending his palm, as if lightly swiping at something.

The space rippled like water waves under his touch, spreading out in all directions.

...

"Hey, how could I let you restart so easily..."

In a corridor, Li Ming casually tossed down a blue metal disc the size of a millstone, cracking open in the center, emitting blue light from the gap.

Invisible electromagnetic waves spread rapidly.

EMP bomb, the good thing Conner wanted, brought a pile with him into Folded Space.

For a warship of this level, staging external electromagnetic interference of this strength would require more than ordinary EMP bombs can offer, but it’s much simpler from the inside.

"Core Relics, should be in this direction..." Li Ming walked along the corridor, recalling the images observed by the Torch Organization, calm and composed.

There were almost no soldiers in the corridor; the whole warship was already on alert, not allowing anyone to move around freely, easy to cause unintended harm when the command system is offline.

Turning at an intersection, he seemed to have arrived at the warship’s outermost thick metal wall, with a glass line through which he could clearly see the outside.

The silent formation of the United Fleet, floating ruins, and streams of Flowing Light patrolling everywhere, clearly Level A Life Forms.

No fleet, no matter how powerful, would dare let powerful individual life forms charge, as even main cannons capable of harming Level A Life Forms are essentially just a bunch of precise metal structures.

Not to mention Level A, even Level B could easily destroy them.

"Hmm?" Li Ming frowned slightly, the scene in front of him wasn’t quite what he had imagined.

He had spread the coordinates here and the treasures in the Core Relics widely on the Black Hole Network to attract a large number of greedy interstellar desperados.

He knew those people wouldn’t amount to much, but the Judgers Civilization’s Judgement Fleet certainly wouldn’t sit idly by and would definitely take this opportunity to create trouble.

He had thought that the two sides would already be fighting fiercely, but it didn’t seem like it.

Where’s the enemy?

And so many warships seemed to be down.

Something’s not right, Li Ming pondered, but suddenly paused, his expression stern, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Li Ming..."

Ahead, space twisted and then flickered, suddenly revealing two people, the leader being the indifferent Gabriel with Luo Nan standing behind him.

Gabriel’s gaze was icy, sweeping over him, evaluating: "You’ve actually unlocked the gene inhibitor on your body, interesting..."

"Asimara’s caution was indeed not misplaced."

Luo Nan kept a close watch on Li Ming, knowing a Level A gene inhibitor wasn’t easy to unlock, and was unaware of how Li Ming had managed it, thus he raised his alertness.

But the genetic test showed that the other party was only a Level B Life Form after all, and this could not be faked.

Perhaps it was just some small trick; after all, his teacher was the Great Mechanic, who specialized in manipulating mechanical creations, having a way to unlock gene inhibitors wasn’t so surprising.

But as a Level A Life Form, he would surely overpower a lower-level Evolved Body.

Li Ming remained silent, Gabriel still spoke, his expression indifferent, with a trace of disdain and annoyance:

"I don’t know what your plan is, but it all ends here, go back to your cell and I can spare your life."

At this point, the fact that he still had to leave Li Ming alive really irked Gabriel.
