Chapter 600: Chapter 315: Rising Reputation, Azure Dragon and Li Ming

Star Network is a comprehensive service-oriented software, similar to many interstellar social media platforms like Balten’s.

Thanks to the exaggerated popularity of Star Network, some accounts can easily amass tens, even hundreds of billions of followers.

But he is just an ordinary account, with only seven or eight million followers, and that too because he is an interstellar human.

In the Northern Crown Star Ring, over 56% of the species belong to humans, humanoid, and subhuman types, making the audience quite broad.

Balten’s five videos, from simple introduction of the situation, the causes to the turns, and then to the climax, are progressively pushed forward.

Moreover, Balcan has cut out a lot of redundant footage, leaving only the most central and essential parts.

The initial video views were rising in a very steady manner, but soon they exploded into a geometric multiplication, with all metrics surging.

"Damn, such a large fleet array, so many fleets..."

This is the first video, which starts with an overwhelming display of the grand United Fleet array, creating a huge impact, with barrage of comments gradually appearing.

"H-Tianluan Bombardment Ship, Stealth Reconnaissance Ship, damn, Ring Star Crown Guard... seems like the United Fleet..." Some military enthusiasts enumerated the fleet models, causing astonishment.

"United Fleet? Whose fleet?"

The formation of United Fleet isn’t much followed by ordinary people, only military enthusiasts knew, as the video played, someone in the comments explained.

"This is a special United Fleet formed by the Yitelan Civilization leading several civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster."

Balten’s edited video only highlights key points, the comments swiftly passed after a few lines, and the scene abruptly shifts to the overwhelming Star Stream Dark Tide.

Initially pitch dark, some were unsure what was being filmed, but as soon as the main cannons of the United Fleet fired, igniting a curtain-like bright blue flame, the barrage stopped, everyone was stunned by the oppressive feeling that hit them.

The observations with a five million worth ultra-long-distance optical binoculars is definitely value for money in accuracy and breadth.

"Starting with something so big?"

The vast scale of the Star Stream Dark Tide causes everyone who saw it to have their adrenaline surging, and the United Fleet’s response and resistance are even more thrilling.

The collision of technological civilization and cosmic disasters stimulate the vision of every life form.

After the Star Stream Dark Tide passes, the final scene is a quiet United Fleet, with sporadic explosions at the edges.

But the comments were still full of cheers, because the United Fleet withstood this terrifying disaster, a victory for civilization.

But as the scene switches to the second video, it starts with a series of exploding warship sparks, making one’s breath catch in their throat.

When the ambushing Judger Fleet bursts forth, many curse at their shamelessness, taking advantage by surprise.

But others believe that in war, deceitfulness is acceptable; in interstellar warfare, there is no shame, only victory or defeat.

Some already lose hope: "How can they even fight like this, the United Fleet is clearly all malfunctioning due to the magnetic burst from the Star Stream Dark Tide, even skipping self-check, system reboot takes three to five minutes, time is money, what a pity..."

But soon the situation reverses again, Princess Asmara bursts forth, the scene quickly zooms in, the grand unfolding of the Folding Fortress is dazzling.

"That is... Princess Asmara, right?"

Under a specific magnified view, Princess Asmara stands at the base of the Folding Fortress, clearly visible, her deep purple close-fitting combat armor not bulky, outlines a graceful figure, her gorgeous face filled with determination, her gaze icy and full of murderous intent, the barrage started increasing.

There is also a special textual annotation by Balten -- Member of the Royal Family of the Yitelan Civilization: Princess Asmara, to avoid confusion among non-human races.

"Wife is mighty!"

"Kill me!"

As a princess of the Silver Star Cluster, a high-level civilization, Asmara’s prestige is not low.

Even if it’s purple skin, in the human-like aesthetic of interstellar society, she is considered upper class, plus her status has garnered numerous followers, barrage like rain.

The Folding Fortress unfurls, the Judgers flee in disarray, the comments burst into cheers.

Although the spectators were largely not from Yitelan, the Judgers appeared as if taking advantage of others, directly being branded as "the bad guys," plus Asmara’s beauty allied many with the United Fleet.

"With the folding fortress, then definitely there wouldn’t be a problem, its quiescence field can suppress energy inertia, the Judgers were unprepared, what a pity..."

"Damn, you were just saying the United Fleet was done for, and now you change your tune?"

As the screen transitions to black, a font indicating thirty-two hours later flashes by.

What comes at them is a black meteor cutting through the battlefield, whose trajectory is hard to catch; in the blink of an eye, only the exploding Circular Crown Guard can be seen.

A moment of silence, no one expected such a sudden turn.

"Who is that, so fierce, directly charging into the battlefield? Isn’t anyone stopping them? What about A-level life forms?"

The video is too short, it’s hard to estimate how fast Reina is, people keep questioning.

At this moment, a sudden silver light emerges, Albert attacks, the screen blazes brightly, nothing else can be seen.

Voice-over starts, "The black meteor is an S-level life form--Sky Split, Reina."

"The silver brilliance is an S-level life form--Silver Holy Light, Albert."

The comments are similarly dead silent.

"S-level life form? There’s this level of life?"

Someone asks in the comments, immediately causing a burst of scoffs.

"Previous comment, which backwater civilization are you from? An S-level life form is the evolutionary level above A-level life forms."
