Sky-cracking Rider

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" found that the approaching aircraft detected by ten reconnaissance drones were essentially relying on optical modules, while the radar modules had no response at all.

The active-duty military equipment is almost invisible in the face of top civilian gear, and it is invisible in various ways. This is a deliberate maintenance of technological disparity.

Just as the standard of military contractors' armaments is more than sufficient to deal with mutants and out-of-control magical beasts, there is at least a half-century gap compared to active-duty military equipment.

Not long after Chen Fei and the local ability users started heading for the city center to meet the enemy, the neighboring sovereign military zone began to operate fully like a war machine.

After the first wave of conventional ballistic missiles completed their strikes, the army aviation troops formed an attack echelon and rapidly approached the area of the incident.

"Rookie, permission to use the 'Dragon Slayer Missile'!"

The rapid response center of the Public Security Bureau made a decision that surprised Chen Fei. It seemed that someone had quite a bit of courage.

After a thorough assessment of the direct hit results of the three conventional ballistic missiles, unless tactical nuclear weapons were used, it seemed that the only option would be the Element Annihilation Bomb, which is the core standard name for the combat unit of the "Dragon Slayer Missile."

"Received, launch complete!"

The Element Annihilation Bomb prepared for Chen Fei by the big boss didn't have that many conventional unlocking procedures; it could enter the combat state after a few settings.

A trail of white smoke shot straight up into the sky, and countless people's eyes were fixed on this scene.

Adam: Crown Prince Lin Zio and Louis Landon, president of Louis Industrial Company, have left messages. Do you wish to view them?

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" almost found a gap to report to Chen Fei.

"First look at the Crown Prince's message, display it in text form."

Chen Fei no longer cared about the state of the KDK-1 air-breathing hypersonic intelligent missile carrying the Element Annihilation combat unit after its launch.

For such a short distance, and with the Vortex Cloud not dodging, the trajectory of the "Dragon Slayer Missile" is nearly a straight line, entirely dependent on the artificial intelligence AI and ten reconnaissance drones for joint guidance, with an almost one hundred percent hit rate.

As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, a flash of blue light streaked across the sky, and a deafening roar swept across the city like a tsunami, still clearly audible 15 kilometers away.

The glass windows and glass curtain walls of the buildings in the city center, and all other fragile objects, were shattered by the spreading shockwave, with pieces of glass the size of fingers falling like hail. But this financial loss was negligible compared to the casualties among the citizens. Since ballistic missiles were already used, the residual power of the "Dragon Slayer Missile" was not a concern.

Adam: The abnormal state clouds have dissipated.

The reconnaissance drones could only recognize the existence of the clouds through optical modules; other technical means were of no use.

Chen Fei had just finished reading the translated text of the message sent by the crown prince of the Slan Dynasty, which was roughly a thank you for this invaluable important intelligence.

He had personally arranged for it to be addressed, and he believed it would be soon possible to eliminate these threats and thoroughly drive out the remnants of the parasitic species from Cangqiong Star.

Eliminating the "Seed Nest" early would prevent the "Doomsday of Civilization" prophesied from coming to pass.

However, when Chen Fei saw Louis Landon's message, his expression gradually darkened.

The black Vortex Cloud appeared in more than one location. Almost simultaneously, three appeared within the atmosphere of Blue Star, one each in Asia, Africa, and Antarctica. The one in Asia was exactly over the city where Chen Fei was.

Additionally, another had just been discovered, shortly before leaving a message for Chen Fei, 70 million kilometers from the sun's surface and on the far side of the Moon.

The Vortex Cloud 70 million kilometers from the sun was precisely in the near-Sun region of the Lagrangian Point (L1). The fate of those monsters could almost be predicted. As soon as they appeared, they were killed by the vacuum of space, the heat radiation from the sun, and the strong cosmic rays. Then their bodies were dragged towards the sun, "drifting" on a trajectory for several tens of days before eventually evaporating into plasma in the sun's scorching heat.

The monsters that fell on the far side of the Moon didn't fare much better—vacuum, low gravity, and the severe cold of nearly minus two hundred degrees Celsius meant they left the stage as soon as they entered. Their bodies rained down and piled up like mountains, never decaying and staying forever in the darkest parts of the far side of the Moon, with only extremely formidable beings possibly able to cling to life for a while before quickly facing the threat of starvation. Those frozen bodies as hard as steel were not so easy to nibble on. Besides that, there was only lunar dust and impact craters, and the human permanent bases on the near side of the Moon were probably too insignificant even to fill the gaps between their teeth.

The Vortex Cloud in Asia had already been directly dispersed by a "Dragon Slayer Missile" fired by Chen Fei, but the ones in Antarctica and Africa were more troublesome.

Antarctica belonged to a continent shared by sovereign rights, covered in ice and snow and without military bases. There was no need for troops on a regular basis, so sending troops would take time. Other than continuous long-range ballistic missiles, the first echelon to depart mainly consisted of ability users dispatched by the headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee. After all, Hablav City was relatively close to the Antarctic Continent and fell within the appropriate jurisdiction.

The situation in Africa was even worse, with a sluggish response from the Sovereignty, slow mobilization of military forces, and poor combat strength, the price to stabilize the situation would inevitably be substantial.

On the other hand, Chen Fei's side must have made other Sovereignties sigh, "As expected of the First Sovereign," for within less than an hour, the threat had been neutralized.

But what truly made Chen Fei feel oppressed was Louis Landon's prophecy, which mentioned that the first stage of the doomsday of Blue Star civilization was the emergence of a large number of black vortex clouds.

The prophecy's doomsday initiation depicted not just three, but hundreds of vortex clouds appearing simultaneously, countless monsters descending from the sky, catching the Blue Star Humans completely off guard. By the time they reacted, several Sovereignties had been utterly annihilated, wiped from existence without leaving a single survivor.

According to the predictions of the powerful, the existence of the "Seed Nest" is probably not just a hiding place and incubator for the Parasitic Species, but also a sort of dimensional coordinate in the vast sea of stars, pinpointing the location of Blue Star for the parasites. When the time is ripe, they would open the vortex clouds, establish the channels, and release a large number of monsters continuously to complete a preliminary occupation.

This time, the black vortex clouds Chen Fei encountered appeared a full three years ahead of the "Doomsday Prophecy," as if in the dark, a pair of colossal hands were manipulating the once-unpredictable fate.

Touting himself as a Reincarnator, Louis Landon made his prophecy based on visions of the "future" and, using Chen Fei as a variable, attempted to change events, striving to prevent the advent of doomsday.

The rebellion on the continent of Zilu in Cangqiong Star erupted as expected, and Louis Landon personally witnessed history unfold. However, the rebels failed to capture the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation as the prophecy foretold, preventing the dimensional coordinate "Longinus" from falling into the hands of the Parasitic Species.

The future seemed to have changed, yet it hadn't shifted toward the bright path Louis Landon had hoped for, and the threat of doomsday remained unshaken.

The black vortex clouds appeared suddenly without warning, some mysterious force causing the future to realign with the prophecy's doomsday scenario. This correcting force deeply unsettled Louis Landon; he and the Silan Dynasty's Crown Prince reached out to Chen Fei almost simultaneously, but neither expected Chen Fei to be confronting the vortex clouds head-on.

"'Adam,' send a text message back to Mr. Landon, let him know the vortex clouds that appeared in Asia have been eliminated, and confirm the effectiveness of the Elemental Annihilation Bomb he provided, which has an effect on space channels. The vortex clouds that may be composed of some space power are also considered,"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei issued the instruction to the artificial intelligence AI.

The core of the Elemental Annihilation Bomb is the Magical Beast Crystal Core and Crystalline Block, two radically different forms of energy that trigger a violent elemental eradication in a unique way, causing the elemental energy within a certain range to collapse or even annihilate completely; therefore, the vortex clouds that were suspected to be formed by some space energy instantly dissipated, which wasn't surprising at all.

This weapon was originally developed specifically against the Parasitic Species, so it was expected to be particularly effective.

Adam: Message sent!

"'Adam,' has Miyoshi Monk called again?"

Adam: No!

Miyoshi Xuesen had called earlier, but Chen Fei, preoccupied with handling notifications from the Rapid Response Center, hadn't had the chance to respond. Now there was silence on the other end, whereas the Crown Prince and Mr. Landon had called again, receiving Chen Fei's voicemail, moving to text messages to communicate.

"Got it!"

Wrapped in the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Combat Mobile Armor, Chen Fei scanned his surroundings—the battle within the city was far from over. He had just stopped the continuous arrival of monsters since reaching the city center, but a large number had already breached the city, spreading in all directions. Armed personnel and Ability Users were gathering to block them, with no indication of when they would be fully contained.

Just at that moment, a call from his mother Yu Xiaoyi suddenly came through.

Chen Fei hastily answered the call from his mother.

"Hello! Hello! Second Brother, I finally got through!"

"Mom, I'm listening!"

"Second Brother, are you home? Are your dad and Xiao Liu okay?"

"I'm not at home, but Dad and Xiao Liu should still be safe. Where are you and Xiao Meng?"

"I…"

Little Sister Chen's voice suddenly interrupted.

"Biu! Biu! Biu! Look at my superpower, hit wherever I point, Biu! Biu!"

The girl didn't know when she had started going wild again!
