Celeste said with confidence.
"That many?"
Rhein was stunned as well.
"Feels a bit like cheating, but I have to admit, this really is the best way to handle it."
Su Ming also spoke with some emotion.
At this time Mo Xiu piloted the Thunder Angel with the Personal Guard, charging straight at the Dark Star Emperor.
The two sides rapidly closed in.
The Dark Star Emperor saw the Thunder Angel loaded with a full set of External Devices, opened the public comm channel, and spoke with a sinister grin.
"I was wondering where you got the guts to challenge me again. So it turns out youāre relying on this pile of trash External Devices. You really think theyāre useful?"
"Whether theyāre useful or not isnāt up to you. Kill them!"
Mo Xiu immediately had the Thunder Angel and Thunder Dome rapidly charge up, activated the God Hunting Device, predicted its movement trajectory, and locked onto the Lord of Death from long range.
Swish, swish!
Five Thunder Energy Beams tore through the Starry Sky, shooting toward the Dark Star Emperor.
The Dark Star Emperor instantly piloted the Lord of Death to dart aside at high speed, yet still got hit by one Thunder Energy Beam.
Boom!
The Mecha shuddered violently, looking somewhat battered.
The Dark Star Emperorās expression instantly darkened. He was just about to drive the Lord of Death to explode forward.
When he suddenly discovered two Sub-light-speed Anti-matter MissilesĀ·Dark Annihilation had already shot in!
"Scatter!"
The Dark Star Emperor barked grimly.
Boom~
Two Black Suns wreathed in arcs of lightning rose, an indescribably terrifying explosion spreading outward, swallowing the Dark Star Emperor and the others whole, and causing the space in that entire region to collapse inward.

Inside Erosion Sun Fortress
Elrosatin Deputy Clan Leader, Pamie Deputy Clan Leader (avatar), Elder Temshi, Fadale, Sword DragonĀ·Hamikas and the others stood on the central control platform.
Before them, combat footage of the Dark Star Empire attacking the Steel Rock Star Defense Line was being projected.
Elder Temshi spoke in a cheerful mood.
"Humans really are ruthless when they fight themselves."
"Itās a vicious streak in their bones."
Pamie said coldly.
At this moment Elrosatin stared at the battle feed before him, his scarlet electronic eyes flashing nonstop, secretly calculating in his heart.
The Dark Star Empire has already pushed up to the Steel Rock Star Defense Line, and theyāre hitting that hard. By Long Xianās temper, if he were still alive, heād have jumped out to wipe out the Dark Star Empire long ago. So thereās a high chance Long Xian is already dead! Iāve now taken back the Metal Spark and regained my freedom. If Iām the first one to break into the Federation, then Iāll have a chance to seize the Dimension Stone. When that happens, Iāll flee this universe outright. No matter how powerful Herares Clan Leader is, thereās no way he can find me. As long as I find a place to fuse with the Dimension Stone, I can evolve into a higher dimension and become an undying, immortal existence. By then, all those so-called Clan Leaders will be nothing in front of me, hahaha.
Thinking of this, Elrosatin immediately spoke.
"The Dark Star Empire has already launched a fierce offensive against the Federation. I donāt think we can wait any longer. We attack the Federation now."
Pamie froze for a second when he heard this, then his eyes flickered as he lifted his head to look at Elrosatin and said,
"No, thatās too risky. We can just watch from behind and let the Dark Star Empire act as cannon fodder for the assault."
"Hmph, what danger? Youāre just worried about Long Xian. From where Iām standing, that guy is definitely dead. Otherwise, with his temper, heād have jumped out already."
"Thatās just your guess. I object!"
"Pamie, youāve stopped our offensive again and again. Are you scared? Or do you have some ulterior motive?"
Elrosatin stared coldly at Pamie and questioned him.
"Donāt you dare smear me. And Iām the Commander here."
"Hmph, with your level of ācommandā? I can do that too."
"Do you even know what ācommandā means?"
Pamie mocked him coldly.
"Shut up. Iāve already advanced to Emperor Level. What I say goes!"
Elrosatinās aura suddenly erupted, a terrifying pressure bursting forth.
Pamie couldnāt help but step back.
Elder Temshi saw Elrosatin losing his temper and hurriedly spoke to appease him.
"Lord Elrosatin, please, letās talk this out, donāt get angry! Lord Pamie, letās follow Lord Elrosatinās orders."
"Fine."
Pamie was extremely unwilling, but still compromised.
"Hahaha, excellent! Pass down my order: full-scale attack. Target, Earth Flame Star Defense Line!"
Seeing his scheme succeed, Elrosatin excitedly issued the command.

Inside the central control room of Blackthorn Fortress.
Commander Alekde sat in the command chair, with Gabres and Higri standing on either side, watching the battle footage from the Steel Rock Star Defense Line.
"Those guys from Sky Dome City are something. Didnāt expect them to really hold off the Dark Star Empireās assault. If they can push a bit harder and severely maul their forces, thatād be perfect. Once the Dark Star Empire loses its supply line, theyāre dead for sure!"
Gabres said excitedly.
"Thatās hard to say. So far Sky Dome City hasnāt gained much of an upper hand."
Sigurd still didnāt think too highly of them.
Commander Alekde said in a deep voice,
"I donāt need Sky Dome City to cripple the Dark Star Empire. As long as they can hold the Steel Rock Star Defense Line, that alone is a huge merit. Then we wonāt be so passive!"
"Thatās what I think too."
Sigurd nodded.
Just then the Scanning Device suddenly lit up with a mass of red dots, followed by the blare of a shrill alarm.
One red warning box after another popped up.
"Warning: Mechanical Flying Insect detected!"
"Warning: Mechanical Octopus detected!"
....
Alekde and the others were shocked.
At this moment Admiral Visado reported in, his expression taut.
"Commander Alekde, the main forces of the Mechanical Clan are bearing down on us!"
