Chapter 1356: Chapter 694: Modification [Alchemy Abyss Seed]
"Who said Azure Dragon was going to target the Star Alliance?"
Antigo said in a deep voice.
"..."
"I am declaring a warning status and deploying X Level Life Forms to prepare for unforeseen events."
Antigo showed a look of helplessness.
"..."
"This unforeseen event may not necessarily be Azure Dragon targeting the Star Alliance. As for what it is exactly, Iâm not at liberty to say..."
Antigo frowned slightly as he faced a barrage of inquiries.
"..."
"Who did you say has already knelt?"
Antigo slammed the table, gritting his teeth, and after cursing with the vice-chairman, he harshly shut down the terminal, panting, and loosened his tie.
At his life level, he wouldnât be suffocated, but it was a kind of psychological suppression.
Since he came to power, voices criticizing his weak approach had been constant, primarily due to his attitude towards Azure Dragon, which led to the monitoring of Dominator Flesh.
The Star Allianceâs supply of Flesh is limited and clearly accounted for, making it difficult to allocate some like the Federation.
The furious upper echelons of the Star Alliance dared not challenge Li Ming and could only blame Antigo.
He just wanted to say, those bastards talk casually without any burden, he also wanted to be strong, but how?
Especially after the members of the High-level Life Form Union began arriving one after another.
He announced a state of alert without taking further action, leading many in the upper echelons to be anxious, eager to know whatâs going on and if there would be conflict.
He was uncertain about the truth of Azure Dragonâs claims, finding it hard to convey with precision, resorting to vague responses.
This led some to believe he had sold out the Star Alliance, reaching some sort of agreement with Azure Dragon in exchange for his own benefit.
"Bastards, how can Gutierrez stand you!" Antigo became more infuriated as he thought, finally cursing, no wonder he asked Gutierrez to return to take command, but the latter refused persistently.
When external pressure wasnât so intense, internal conflicts could be concealed, but with increasing external pressure, internal conflicts were hard to hide.
As a union of multiple civilizations, the Star Alliance was already rife with competing interests.
"Chairman!"
Another flurry of hurried reports, the door flung open, it was still his secretary-general, still with that look of anxious unease.
But this time, Antigo was wiser, not scolding the otherâs demeanor, but instead a growing unease surged within him, urgently asking: "Whatâs wrong, what happened again?"
"Just received the news..." The secretary-general swallowed, trembling as he pulled out his smart terminal, revealing a video, "The glorious clans, Ashen Kingdom, and several hundred other civilizations at the Sea of Starsâ borders suddenly suffered a certain large-scale virus outbreak..."
Antigo looked on, seemingly captured by a distant satellite, clearly showing that some scarlet mist had suddenly emerged on the planetâs surface.
And then, at an unbelievable speed, it swept across the entire planet, even the atmosphere was infiltrated, the scene painted in scarlet.
"This... wasnât accelerated?" Even Antigo couldnât hide his shock, asking involuntarily.
"Not accelerated..." The secretary-general shook his head, swallowing nervously, "You might have missed the last scene. Multiple civilizationsâ satellite detection proves this mist is spreading into space..."
Spreading into space? Antigoâs expression froze, feeling his scalp tingle.
The secretary-general swiftly adjusted the video progress, and sure enough, in the end, he saw the sky gradually turning red.
Antigo initially focused on the planetâs surface, not noticing this until now, scrutinizing more intently revealed the difference.
"Is this what Li Ming referred to as large-scale contamination?" Antigo murmured to himself, this ability to spread in space alone demanded his utmost vigilance.
Yet, having been in a high position for a long time, Antigo quickly collected himself, fixing his gaze on the secretary-general, "Is there any other information?"
The secretary-general hurriedly replied, "Based on rough estimates, this scarlet mist can block signals, corrode life forms, and transform them into the scarlet mist, spreading through space. Whether it has other abilities requires further detection..."
It might even enhance Eternal Abyssâs activity... He recalled Li Mingâs words, his heart trembling, realizing this time, Li Ming wasnât lying to him.
It was only at this moment that he fully grasped the meaning of Malcolmâs words, "Theyâd rather be deceived."
Eternal Abyss... Itâs the Eternal Abyss, the terrifying force that engulfed countless civilizations.
"Understood, you may leave now." Antigo waved his hand, his expression stern, quickly regaining composure, opening the desktop terminal and initiating a Leader Level meeting.
His eyes flickered, and he added Li Ming to the invitation list.
The four soon gathered, and as Li Ming observed Antigoâs unprecedentedly serious expression, he had a faint premonition, asking, "Is there a situation?"
After all, this was the Star Allianceâs domain, and its channels of information were beyond his access.
Antigo nodded heavily, Malcolmâs face changed slightly, yet saw the Star Alliance Chairman unroll the Star Map, then running his hand across, marking a semicircle in the Sea of Starsâ border area in blood-red.
He quickly explained the current situation: "The large-scale contamination Azure Dragon mentioned manifests as a blood-red mist, which has currently spread over these regions and can propagate through space..."
"Spread through space..." Malcolm took a deep breath.
Spread through space... Li Mingâs eyes narrowed, a capability he didnât understand, and which the prior Blood Seed didnât possess.
This capability reminded him of another substance, the Abyss Fog.
