Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 580 54: Arrival of the Beastmen

Celestial Punishment?

Isabella looked puzzled as she turned her gaze to the blonde angel behind her. Seeing her somewhat confused expression, the blonde angel softly said, "You can think of it as a widespread miniature solar flare."

Solar flare?!

Upon hearing this, Empress Isabella was utterly dumbstruck, murmuring, "How large can the area be?"

The blonde angel closed her eyes in contemplation for a moment, calculated the specific figures, and slowly said, "A diameter of sixteen hundred kilometers."

Is she serious?

Empress Isabella was full of disbelief, looking at the expression of the blonde angel as though she were looking at a human-shaped super nuclear bomb.

"This is just one of our trump cards."

Su Ziyu gently tapped the tabletop with his index finger and slowly said, "If the main battlefield is inside the planet, I can attempt to fully activate the Mind Synchronization Center."

"In that state, my Spiritual Energy might roughly break through to level 12."

Level 12 Spiritual Energy.

Su Ziyu had never activated 'Lightning Storm' in this state, so he himself wasn't sure exactly how powerful it would be, but it would likely be extremely exaggerated, because in that state, Su Ziyu's consciousness had already connected to the energy field of the entire planet.

Legend has it that Lightning Storm can directly perform strategic strikes on a planet.

Su Ziyu wasn't quite sure if this was true.

But he thought it was worth a try.

When connected to the Mind Synchronization Center, instantly implanting mind suggestions in millions of people was clearly not yet Su Ziyu's limit; he could feel he had extra energy to do more, because in that state he felt like an omnipotent god.

This was probably his closest experience to being a Divine Spirit.

Therefore, the upcoming battle wasn't just about helping Empress Isabella; Su Ziyu wanted to enter that 'quasi-god' state once more. He had a feeling that this state would be a tremendous aid when he eventually broke through to demigod level.

Because he had already felt everything above demigod in advance!

Their conversation suddenly restored a bit of confidence in Empress Isabella, who couldn't help but stand up, murmuring, "If we can heavily damage their ground forces and greatly reduce the number of Beastmen."

"Maybe we really can win."

The three of them revisited past strategies used by the Beastmen, and after a round of discussion, they quickly came up with several ideas.

The Beastmen are very fond of ground warfare.

Not only because they have stronger power on the ground, but also because in ground battles, they can continuously replenish their troops.

Dead Beastmen leave behind spores.

These spores, when tended by pecks, quickly mature. Beastmen who grow via photosynthesis have an endless supply of troops; no other race can beat them in a war of attrition.

The Insect Race in the past got crushed by them the same way.

This led to excessive confidence in ground battle among the Beastmen, and almost all of their first attacks began with orbital drops.

It didn't matter if the dropped Beastmen all died.

Their leftover corpses and blood would birth new Beastmen as long as there was soil and sunlight, endless and everlasting, vast and infinite, even a strand of Beastmen's hair could automatically nurture a new breeding ground for them in the natural environment.

During the era of the Ancient Lost Empire, the golden humans had only one solution to this situation: using Cloud Burst Bombs or directly using nuclear warheads.

This refers to sweeping the battlefield, not defeating the enemy.

"You should go rest." Su Ziyu looked up at Empress Isabella before him; she had been tense for too long, which wasn't suitable for the upcoming battle.

"Mm." Empress Isabella obediently nodded lightly, stood up, and slightly signaled to the blonde angel beside her before turning and leaving the lavishly decorated hall.

Su Ziyu looked up at the blonde angel across from him, whose face carried a mischievous smile, and said, "Want to say something?"

"Why did you recommend she visit a psychiatrist?" The blonde angel raised an eyebrow, saying, "In my understanding, don't most male lifeforms quite enjoy this happening?"

"Boring." Su Ziyu ignored her, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation. "Didn't expect angels to be so gossip-centric."

Qing Ji warns. JPG.

The emotional explosion from Empress Isabella said to Su Ziyu previously had a clear Stockholm Syndrome aspect, considering she was initially captured by Su Ziyu. Without a threat to her life, and after being saved once and repeatedly helped by Su Ziyu, Empress Isabella's feelings towards him directly transformed into partial affection.

This false emotional explosion even affected Empress Isabella's rational decision-making.

Especially after quelling the rebellion, she impulsively executed extreme actions she normally wouldn't have dared make.

It's impossible for Su Ziyu to use this opportunity to reinforce such psychological symptoms, even though it would be very easy for him, simple enough to achieve without using Spiritual Energy.

"Didn't expect you to have quite the knightly spirit." The blonde angel raised an eyebrow, smiling.

Su Ziyu calmly said with closed eyes, "Some things are worth doing, others not."

"That's an empress of an empire—even if the empire is already riddled with holes. If you completely controlled her, you could probably gain an immense amount." The blonde angel still spoke in a seductive tone, whispering, "Besides, she is a remarkably beautiful woman."

Su Ziyu didn't respond, returning to his meditation.

He also needed to recover.

Seeing Su Ziyu unresponsive, the blonde angel couldn't help but chuckle to herself, pondering aloud, "Quite nice."

"No wonder Lord Stephen wanted me to come over personally."

If Su Ziyu took advantage of the situation to solidify control over Empress Isabella, she would still help Su Ziyu, but her opinion of him would plummet significantly. At least she would report everything she saw to the Space-Time Guardian.

She didn't know if they could win against the Beastmen, but she was confident in preserving Su Ziyu.

Even if his body got destroyed.

With Lord Stephen's ability, rebuilding a demigod body for him would be easy; at worst, she could abscond with Su Ziyu's soul.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Almost simultaneously as Su Ziyu sensed something and suddenly awoke, in a massive insect nest on the other side of the planet, a sharp Mind Telepathy sounded.

"Insect Mother!"

"Detected unknown vast Energy Force Field descending!"

"Target highly suspected to be Ook Orcs!"

A gigantic crab-like shelled organism, about thirty meters in diameter, floated above this planet's atmosphere, its brain area parasitized by bizarre Brain Insects. Within the detection network solely formed by Brain Insect Spiritual Energy, alarms blared from all directions into the insect nest.

Because the Leviathan Giant Beast had yet to hatch, individual Insect Races hadn't directly entered outer space and could only detect an approaching massive energy field.

After some Mind Synchronization, a vague message was translated by them.

"WAAAGH!!!"

Roars gathered into a massive energy torrent, accompanied by earth-shattering yells, as one after another metal Flying Devices resembling meteors were launched, transforming into innumerable blazing Fireballs, covering the sky and blocking the sun, resembling a grand meteor shower directly entering this planet's atmosphere.
