Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 829: Clash

"These are …"

Belmond and the others also stepped forward and looked at the supplies in the box. Of course, Laura and Taricova couldn't tell what the steel was, but Belmond recognized it. "It's Valley Blue Steel. It's not a strategic material of the Federation. Why is it here?"

Alan Ningsu said, "I remember back on Frost Star, I accidentally discovered that this Valerian Blue Steel was part of the trade between the federation mole and the Catus."

He opened a few other boxes, most of which were made of Valley Blue Steel. However, in one of the boxes was another pitch-black iron box. There were dark red lines on the box, and the whole box was like a mess. Alan could not find a way to open it. He checked again and could only give up, "This container should have been encrypted. The method used should not be Catu's. Furthermore, I seem to have seen the style of the box somewhere …"

He suddenly remembered the mysterious starship in Chaos Canyon. The starship was pitch black and had dark red lines on it. It was exactly the same as this box. Allen said: "In addition to Valerian Blue Steel, the deal between the Federation insiders and the Catus included Shadow Star Diamonds." The Shadow Star Diamond contained dark-attribute Origin Energy, and when piled together, it would have an impact on the gravity of the surrounding space. "If I'm not mistaken, this box should be filled with Shadow Star Diamonds. Its function should be to isolate the effects of the Star Diamonds on the outer space."

"Then where do the outsiders want to send these things?" Belmond took a few steps back. There were dozens of containers here. This was filled with strategic materials, controlled by the Federation. Ironically, they were now loaded onto foreign motherships. Looking at the boxes, Belmond felt a little heavy-hearted.

'"Hubble is back. I hope he has good news. Wherever these things go, if we blow up the mothership, I think the outsiders and the Federation mole will be in pain for a while." Alan smiled.

"I guess this period of time won't be too short." Belmond agreed.

"What are you doing?" Hubble strode in and said, "Damn it, this mothership is really not as big as it looks. It took me a long time to figure out where its power room is, but with our ancestors on board, it actually has three main power rooms and a very secondary energy storage room. If we want to blow up this ship, we obviously have to blow up a dozen rooms, but we obviously don't have enough manpower."

Alan was stunned. He ignored this question. Considering this mothership as an ordinary starship, an ordinary starship would only have a power room. However, the size of the mothership was so large that it was obvious that one power room was not enough, so it was not surprising that there were three main power rooms and ten energy storage rooms. The problem was that there were only five of them. It would be extremely difficult to blow up all these rooms.

Alan thought for a moment and said, "Blow up the three main rooms. There must be an energy pipeline between the storage room and the power room. Once the main room is blown up, there will be a chain reaction, so we don't have to go through so much trouble to blow up all the rooms. There's no need, no time."

"That's true. The main power room exploded. I don't think this ship needs to fly anymore." Belmond nodded in agreement.

Hubble smacked his lips and said, "It doesn't matter if it's the main power room or the storage room. Anyway, don't stay here any longer."

Alan knew that he couldn't afford to be idle, so he smiled and asked Belmond to bring over their backpacks and the energy guns they had snatched. Spread out all the weapons and ammunition on the ground. There were four energy guns and seven or eight fragmentary detonators used by the Catus. There are also some solid-state batteries and things that can be tied together and used as bombs. However, this wasn't enough to blow up the three main power rooms. Allen looked at the warehouse and said, "Let's look around. Since this is a material warehouse, there should be weapons and ammunition here."

"There's no need to look for them. Our weapons and supplies are always stored separately. Vashak feels that his soldiers are too stupid. If they put them together, they might be damaged by those idiots. You know, these things were bought from the Neil people. If they were damaged at the end of a war, Vashak would probably go crazy with rage." Hubble speculated maliciously.

"If that's the case, then there should still be rooms like an arsenal in this ship." Alan said. At this moment, an indescribable feeling assaulted his heart.

In that instant, Alan felt as if he had fallen into a hole filled with rotten meat. A rotten stench that was like rotting flesh burrowed straight into his nose, causing him to almost open his mouth to vomit. He could no longer see Belmond and the others, all he saw was a miserable green mist. Suddenly, two flames appeared from the mist, and the green mist burned with a loud noise, turning into a raging green flame! Within the green flame, a towering figure that was as lofty as a mountain broke out from the green flame. Alan used all of his eyesight and was unable to see the entire scene. As his consciousness gazed forward, he could only see countless jade-colored steel ribs, as if it was a steel mountain iron edge that had been knocked out of the jade flame!

Then, a huge amount of resentment and killing intent rushed towards him. Alan was like a person who had fallen into a sea of rage, and he was quickly drowned by the tide of killing intent. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but he came to his senses. Seeing Belmore and Laura looking at him strangely, Hubble stood at the side like a statue, his eyes blank. A moment later, his entire body trembled, and blood flowed out of his nostrils and mouth. His expression immediately turned dejected.

"Heavens, what's wrong with you guys?" Laura cried out softly, supporting Ellen first.

Alan shook his head, "I'm fine, that was …"

"Crosser!" Hubble said, "It's that guy, the giant that hates all life. That guy's on the move!"

At the end of his words, everyone was shocked. From the faraway east, an imposing aura soared up, and its momentum was fierce and tyrannical. As if he was afraid that others wouldn't know, he quickly spread out from the thing. However, unlike Crosser's terrifying murderous aura, this aura was magnificent in tyranny, self-enraged, and dignified. Apart from the intense pressure it brought to the crowd, it was not as desperate as Crosser.

Moreover, even Belmond and the others could sense this second aura. Unlike Crosser, only a handful of people seemed to be able to sense it.

Not long after these two imposing auras rose, a thunderclap suddenly sounded from the endless void that passed through the thick battle clouds on the battlefield in the air between the fleets of both sides. Immediately, all the voices on the battlefield were suppressed by this deafening sound. The only sound left in the entire world was the rolling thunder. Many airships swayed left and right like they were drunk, and even exploded when they collided with each other.

Many accidents happened to the fleets of both sides. Even the lights on the Golden Lion's battleships suddenly flickered. The battleship did not regain its stability until the shields were opened one by one. Only the Golden Lion remained motionless, but many sparks would occasionally jump out of its hull. As for the outsider ships, the black shadow Titans guarding the formation each opened their shields. These shields varied in shape. Some were as round as balls, some were only pitch-black giant shields, and some were simply a ball of black lightning. No matter what form of shield it was, it was still flickering non-stop on the surface.

On the ground battlefield, some of the flying cars lost control and left the team. More of the warriors were knocked over on the ground. After a while, he got up again in fear. Fortunately, the Catus were also having a hard time. Most of the energy weapons in their hands were accidentally fired and exploded. The quality of the weapons sold to them by the Nilms was evident from this.

The thunderclap finally disappeared, but the clouds above the battlefield became lower and lower, and the wind suddenly became fierce. The gale brought along many fine stones in the mountains. These seemingly inadvertent little things were now slamming into the chariots and flying ships, but they produced a shower-like sound. As for the bombs, they would leave behind many red marks on the bodies of the warriors on both sides. One or two of its power could be seen.

The sky gradually darkened. It was clearly daytime, but the light became incomparably dim. The clouds were as bright as ink, and from time to time, strange lights exploded in the center of the clouds. Whenever the intense light lit up, one would always see a figure as huge as a demon god and roar like a giant beast in the primordial wilderness. No one knew what was happening above the clouds. They only knew that the top experts on both sides had already handed over their hands.

A stone descended from mid-air and struck towards a slender figure on this high rock. However, before he could touch this figure, the stone suddenly disintegrated in midair, shattering, annihilating, and finally turning into wisps of grey smoke that scattered with the wind. The gray and black ponytails danced wildly in the wind like two different colored flames. Catherine had turned her cloak into cloth in the previous battle and had been torn off by the major general. The tight-fitting general outfit now clearly outlined Catherine's beautiful body, turning her into the only beautiful thing in this desolate rock mountain region.

Catherine leaned against the rock and looked up. The distant sky flashed with lightning and flames. The battle between the two great experts caused the wind and clouds to change color. It was truly terrifying. On the other hand, an unusually flat land appeared on the ground. On the flat ground, a large mothership seemed to be undergoing repairs, and many engineering machines were busy working around it. However, as many machines began to be recycled, the repair work was probably coming to an end.

The major general took out a tactical board with a radar window on it. In the radar, the signal representing Alan came from the mother ship. Katherine frowned and whispered, "You're really going to get me in trouble!"

Suddenly, many lines on the surface of the mothership's fuselage began to light up. Catherine was stunned. It seemed that the mothership was planning to take off. It could not even wait to recycle all the engineering machines, nor did it know where to rush to. But wherever she went, it was bad news for Catherine, because Alan was still up there!

"Damn it!" Catherine jumped up and quickly scanned her surroundings. Then she moved and pounced on the hill closest to the mother ship.

Inside the mothership, Allen and the others could also feel the tremors of the ship's hull. After a moment of shock, Belmond shouted, "Not good, it looks like we're going to take off. We need to blow up the power room quickly!"

Alan shook his head, "It's too late. It seems that the outsiders were afraid that the Federation would discover this mother ship. That's why they were so eager to take off. That makes me even more curious. What exactly is the purpose of this ship?"
