Chapter 189: 189, Nuclear Leveling Floating Island_1

Translator: 549690339

Skru Star.

The homeward-bound transport ship crossed the space rift, trailblazing long flames, flying towards a colossal floating island in mid-air.

This aerial floating island is an artificial platform temporarily constructed by the Skru federation for the war, approximately covering an area of 50 square kilometers, with a distance of about 1500 meters from the ground.

This floating island is a transit point for Skru people to place their psychic energy storage tanks, also the largest storage base for energy tanks.

As for why to construct the floating island here, the reason is straightforward, it’s because all the space rifts on Skru Star converge here.

Skru Star is connected to Blue Star through more than 3700 space cracks. These 3700 space cracks are evenly distributed across Blue Star but are concentrated in one area on Skru Star.

Surrounding the floating island, more than 3700 space rifts densely encircle it. Every twenty or thirty seconds, a ship would drill out of the space rift, inserting full energy cans into the transit station on the floating island.

The whole system has operated well in recent days, but today there seems to be a slight problem:

A transport ship flew out from the crack at Lingwu Mountain, but this was not the scheduled return time, it was half an hour ahead of the planned time.

The fleet’s command center on the floating island immediately sent a message to the ship: “Calling the driver of Transport Ship T-036, why have you returned early? Why have you returned early?”

But after waiting for half a minute, they didn’t receive any response.

Again they sent a message: “Calling the driver of Transport Ship T-036, why have you returned early? Why have you returned early?”

But again they didn’t receive any response.

The pilot of the T-036 ship had been severely knocked out by Su Yu’s [Psychic Blast] before leaving Blue Star. The ship was flying purely on autopilot towards the floating island.

The command center noticed something was wrong and hastily issued an interception order.

“Calling Attack Ships A-363, A-364, intercept Transport Ship T-036, be careful .”

But their orders were only halfway through when Skru people at the command center saw a dazzling firelight brighten up outside the window.

Then, the command center was gone.

Boom!

In a fierce explosion, the command center was instantaneously leveled.

.

The “tine-3” type missile is the latest spiritual energy missile developed by the Skru people, not very powerful, roughly equivalent to the tactical nuclear missiles on Blue Star, with an equivalent explosion of about 10,000 tons (approximately the power equivalent of 10,000 tons of TNT explosion).

The power of 30 such missiles exploding simultaneously in the sky is not too formidable.

However, the location of their explosion was extremely unfortunate.

After leaving the crack in space, the ship was only a few kilometers away from the floating island. After a minute of flight, it was practically “glued” to the floating island.

On the island, there were loads of psychic energy cans, this energy was highly pure compressed energy.

So, these 30 missiles exploded at the same time was like throwing a burning matchstick on a pile of dry hay.

Boom!

A massive explosion triggered a chain reaction in the psychic energy cans, soon, a beautiful mushroom cloud erupted above the floating island.

The mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and all the facilities on the island were thoroughly destroyed by the explosion in a short span of time.

Directly beneath the floating island lay a giant Skru city – Treyna.

Treyna is one of the most important central cities among Skru Federation.

That day, all the Skru walkers on the road noticed a dazzling light coming from above their heads, much brighter than the midday sun!

Shielding their eyes and looking up at the sky, they were horrified to discover:

The psychic energy array painted underneath the floating island in the sky had completely failed, and the floating island was uncontrollably falling from the sky!

Moreover, this colossal object was getting nearer and nearer to them!

The scene shifts back to the Spiritual Spring Eye of Lingwu Mountain on Earth.

Not long after the floating island was leveled, the space cracks above the spring eye began to flicker intensely, spewing out a large amount of dust and debris mixed with spiritual energy.

The commander of the Skru fleet noticed the anomalies in the sky and looked up towards the space cracks.

Seeing the state of the space crack, he was baffled.

What’s wrong? Why is the spiritual energy leaking out?

Just then, his lady secretary came to him with a folder, “Commander, the Blue Star humans are behaving strangely.”

“What kind of behaviour?” The commander shifted his gaze to his secretary.

“A large number of armed helicopters are heading our way, they are less than ten kilometers away from us.”

“Armed helicopters?” The commander was taken aback.

However, he quickly replied, “Keep monitoring and figure out their intentions.”

“Understood, Commander.”

But at this moment, a faint voice came through the air beside them, “I think, you won’t have to.”

“Who’s there?!” The Skru commander was startled, instinctively reaching for the energy gun at his waist.

But his hand had barely moved.

“Baa~”

Su Yu’s [Transform into Sheep] skill was deployed, turning the Skru commander into a cute little sheep.

Then Su Yu directly cast the [Flamestrike Skill], a truck-sized fireball flew from Su Yu’s hand, landing solidly on the sheep.

How could this Skru commander, who was only a fourth-rank, withstand the damage inflicted by Su Yu, a sixth-rank power?

Boom!

With a resounding explosion, a large crater was blown into the place where the Skru commander had stood; he and his secretary were vaporized in the explosion.

A fourth-rank commander, resolved with such ease.

At the same time, alarms were blaring throughout the entire Skru base!

Skru soldiers scattered throughout the base, especially the high-ranking officers, quickly received the news of the commander’s death and information about the intruder.

“Warning! Warning! Major intrusion detected within the base!”

“The invaders are Blue Star Humans, estimating their strength  preliminary assessment as a sixth-rank power. Be on guard.”

“Warning! Warning! Major intrusion detected within the base  ”

The alarm kept ringing non-stop, all the Skrus were dumbfounded!

How could there be a sixth-rank power among Blue Star Humans?!

According to the data they collected before the war, the spiritual energy of the Blue Star was long exhausted, the strongest was at most only at the peak of the fourth rank, and their numbers were extremely scarce.

Even if the Blue Star humans had already accessed the spring eye of Yunlu Mountain, it would still be impossible to recover to the sixth rank within a month or two. Who exactly is this sixth-rank Blue Star human invader?!

But they didn’t dare to think too much.

Their base could handle a fifth-rank, but a sixth-rank was pretty much impossible.

So from the moment they received the alarm, all the Skru could think about was one thing – escape!

So, all the Skrus in the base quickly ran towards the various spaceships around the base, preparing to escape via the ships.

But when they boarded the spaceship, they were surprised to find that things were much worse than they thought.

All the pilots of the spaceship, for some reason, had disappeared!

Without the pilots or the commander’s operation authority, they couldn’t start the spaceship at all. The pilots had disappeared, and the commander had fallen. What should they do?
