"Do you know why Iâm waiting for you here?" One of the Juliuses sneered, "Because Iâm curious whether the Phoenix Society knows what despair truly means?"
Chu Yanâs delicate face was now covered in bloodstains. Her gaze swept over the two Juliuses with caution, also wary of the man with the red flashing Divine Speed.
The opponentâs speed was too fast. Although it was hard for him to approach within her spiritual power domain, she also found it difficult to focus and defeat him.
Julius coldly laughed, "Spiritual Ability, you can kill with just a thoughtâa near-perfect ability, almost god-like. Heh, the ace of the North American United Front. Whatâs making you hesitate now?"
"Oh, because you canât kill me. You want to fully extract information on the Dark World from me. Ye Lan must have told you that this might be the last proactive chance humanity gets."
Chu Yan didnât respond. She remained vigilant while contacting Lin Xian through her communicator.
"Lin Xian, howâs your side going? Can you ensure the capture of the Heart of the Galaxy?"
"Itâs not that simple..." Lin Xian was sweating profusely. The entire manufacturing sequence of the Black Star Forge was cleared â manufacturing cables and intranet terminal equipment.
When he connected this intranet cable using a relay, he indeed found, as KIKI said, that the entire Giant God Peak Launch Site was set with a rigorous authentication key. His expression changed immediately, and he said to Chu Yan, "Thereâs a problem now. To connect to the intranet for central continuous control, Juliusâs iris authentication is necessary."
Chu Yan frowned, "Can it be forcibly cracked?"
"Root server iris key double encryption â not enough time. We need him personally!"
"Iâm facing some situations here too." Chu Yan glanced at the two Juliuses in front, syncing the situation with Lin Xian.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian frowned and said, "Do you know which one is the real him?"
"I can scan the differences in spiritual power fluctuations between them. Clones, due to time and training, usually have discrepancies, but these two seem to have undergone identical training, or neither is Julius in person."
"So cunning! What do we do then?!"
If neither were Julius himself, they couldnât determine who truly had connected to the Dark World.
Naturally, Chu Yan also realized this.
Bang bang!
On Chu Yanâs side, her superpower erupted into another fierce battle. Her teammates behind killed a Red Man Gu, coming over for support. However, facing the man with the red flash, they were struggling. Her remaining two teammates were now injured.
Chu Yan seized the chance to retreat and spoke to Lin Xian,
"For now, we must solve the Heart of the Galaxy issue. The Heavenly Calming Ship and the 83 Iron Guard Brigade have already come for support, but who knows how long until daylight. If the weapon system is captured now, both inside and outside the city will be doomed!"
"I know!" Lin Xian, sweating profusely, was frantically operating the repair work, shouting, "And the Deep Red World has tampered with the underground network works. Those Abnormal Bodies can directly enter the city from the launch site or other routes. Theyâre planning to conduct a full-city experimental observation under universal fear!"
Chu Yan heard this, her eyes flickering. She told Lin Xian, "Regardless of whether these two are truly Julius himself, I can confirm one thing!"
"What is it?!"
"If authentication is required, the activation of the Gray Mist Messenger is also included, so the one who can carry out iris verification must be among them!"
Lin Xian reacted, "Makes sense. With Juliusâs caution, he must ensure Deep Red No.3 completes the central control takeover for the entire city; otherwise, all their meticulously prepared plans will be wasted."
Lin Xianâs mind raced, saying, "Chu Yan, donât let Julius escape. Iâll come to find you immediately. I have a way to solve this issue remotely!"
Chu Yan wiped the blood off her face and said softly,
"Alright!"
Beep, beep, beep!
At that moment, a loud alarm sounded within the Giant God Peak Launch Site.
[Launch plan about to start, launch silo opening.]
In a suburban area outside Dawn City, streets and buildings suddenly shook, the ground cracked open, and the massive gate spanning hundreds of meters slowly opened.
Instantly, numerous Abnormal Bodies rushed through the darkness like rain from the sky, accompanied by rubble and debris.
Boom!
Thunderous explosions echoed throughout the launch site, with heavy rain falling from the sky above Giant God Peak Launch Site, splashing both the Gray Mist Messenger and various engineering frameworks.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian handed over a Photon Storage Device to Shi Zhi after installing the relay, "Shi Zhi, Iâm about to finish here. In a moment, youâll be responsible for inserting this Continuous Control Key."
"Ah?!" Shi Zhiâs face turned pale at the words, stammering nervously, "I... I..."
"Listen!"
Lin Xian firmly grasped her shoulder and, in a tone heavy with determination, said, "There are only 3 minutes left. As soon as it connects at ten oâclock, the Heart of the Galaxy will open its ports due to the activation of the Breaking Curtain Device. The Deep Red World must be ready to exploit this opportunity to control the Heart of the Galaxy. Although Julius set up a key in the local server here, he doesnât know that Chu Zhaonan intentionally left a 10-second offline state, because Deep Red No.3âs computational power to take over the entire city itself takes 10 seconds, so weâll have a 10-second window to regain control of the center!"
"But..." Shi Zhi was visibly tense, unexpectedly given such an important task by Lin Xian.
Lin Xian panted heavily, lowering his voice next to Shi Zhiâs ear, "Donât be afraid. I trust you can do this."
