Chapter 1204 - Chapter 1204 It cant be them

Chapter 1204: It can’t be them. Chapter 1204: It can’t be them. Boom–Boom–

As Shepherd in the Clouds and the others self-destructed, Su Yu could distinctly feel the ground violently shaking again.

By now, Su Yu had already led all the High-Ranking Powerhouses far away, less than 20 kilometers from reaching the second defense line.

The Blue Star Humans’ second defense line was set up in the central regions of Shizuoka Prefecture, Yamanashi Prefecture, and Kanagawa Prefecture, with a quarter of it extending into the Pacific Ocean, forming a near-circular shape when pieced together.

The radius of this circle was about 50 kilometers, and with their swift speed, it would take them just a few minutes to reach their destination.

Feeling the ground shake, Su Yu was very clear that it was the self-destruction of Shepherd in the Clouds and his team.

So, Su Yu halted her flight and turned around to face that direction.

The High-Ranking Powerhouses flying with Su Yu also turned around, their eyes filled with sorrow.

Alas, the “tendency towards self-destruction” really does no small harm!

Zhong Feng, Sky Dragon, Mr. Meng, Frost Red Tea… and other High-Ranking Powerhouses all gathered around Su Yu. At this moment, they saluted together in the direction of Shepherd in the Clouds’ sacrifice, paying the highest respects to these 91 brave warriors.

After saluting, Frost Red Tea slowly lowered her arm, her eyes brimming with loss: “Alas, Old Cloud has fallen like this… It’s a relief that he can be resurrected in the future, otherwise, his death would be too unjust.”

“Yes,” Mr. Meng sighed, “the ‘tendency towards self-destruction’ really isn’t a good thing. I really hope we don’t encounter such things in the future.”

“But we also don’t have time for remembrance,” Zhong Feng shook his head and looked to everyone, “We still have a lot of work to do, especially since Blue Whale is out of the picture, our workload is much heavier, and we must continue to strive!”

Their urgent task was to quickly take their positions at the second defense line, gather all the defensive resources, and strive to maximize the defenses before the Skrull attackers arrived.

The Blue Star People had previously stockpiled quite a lot of resources on the second defense line.

They built a 70-meter-tall giant wall along the circumference of this 50-kilometer radius circle and set up a force field shield on the wall.

But the defense line was ultimately too long, more than six to seven times the length of the first defense line, so naturally, its defense standards couldn’t match those of the first line and were far inferior.

The main defensive force of the second defense line was the antimatter railguns and laser weapons captured from the Skrull people, which, when combined with the force field shield, could form a certain defensive capability.

However, the defensive capability was indeed limited.

This defense line could not possibly hold off the Skrull attackers for more than a dozen days like the first defense line did.

According to Su Yu’s estimate, if the second defense line could last two days, it would already be a cause for gratitude!

And this wasn’t even the most critical issue.

What troubled the Blue Star High-Ranking Powerhouses the most was that AI Blue Whale couldn’t be used.

Without Blue Whale’s overall coordination, each person’s workload had increased by two or three times!

So, they had to quickly take their positions at the second defense line and make the most of every second.

…

But just then, Xu Xiaotian, who had been silent all along, spoke up: “Do you think… the ‘tendency towards self-destruction’ harbored by Old Cloud and the others… could it have been the Skrull’s doing?”

Sky Dragon looked at Su Yu and the others with her beautiful big eyes, filled with sadness.

Sky Dragon had seldom spoken after the official outbreak of war. Apart from carrying out the tasks assigned by Su Yu, she almost never spoke a word, and her face was always stern.

Having ascended to God Level, she was held in high awe by the middle and lower ranking officers, and none dared to communicate with her;

Su Yu, being preoccupied with commanding the entire force, had not specifically communicated with her, so Sky Dragon remained silent.

However, Su Yu and everyone else could feel the immense pressure in the heart of this 14-year-old girl.

Now that Sky Dragon had spoken, she immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Su Yu initially wanted to lead everyone to the second defense line as quickly as possible, but now that Sky Dragon had raised a question, he decided to stop and answer her question first.

He thought for a moment and responded, “Sky Dragon, I’ve considered the hypothesis you’re proposing, but I don’t think it’s very likely.”

Su Yu looked into her big eyes, explaining: “If it were the Skrull’s doing, first, they would need to possess such a capability.

All of us have been to the Skrull Star, and more than once. According to the data we’ve collected on the Skrull Star, there is no evidence to suggest that the Skrull people have mastered this ability.

Moreover, this capability far exceeds the scope of the Skrull’s strength.

Shepherd in the Clouds was a Seventh Order Peak Powerhouse! To plant a ‘tendency towards self-destruction’ in his heart without his awareness, even a Mental Power Master wouldn’t be able to do that, not to mention Elizabeth, who was seriously injured.

So, I think it’s unlikely that it was the Skrull’s trickery.”

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Zhong Feng added, “Right, I also think it’s unlikely to involve the Skrull people.

If it were really the Skrull people’s trickery, they would definitely choose more valuable targets, like Chairman Hu Jing, Commissioner Zhang, Fujiwara Chika, and other important political figures.

However, apart from Old Cloud, the other 90 affected by the ‘tendency towards self-destruction’ are quite marginal and can hardly be considered core characters. So, I think there must be another reason for the emergence of the ‘tendency towards self-destruction’.”

“Um… both of you make sense,” Sky Dragon said, nodding gently.

She frowned slightly, tapping her chin gently with her right index finger.

Then she looked up towards the sky overhead: “If it’s not within the Skrull’s capabilities, then there’s another enemy with the ability. Could it be their doing?”

Hearing Sky Dragon’s words, Su Yu and the others were taken aback.

They too looked up into the sky, lost in thought.

If it were that enemy, then it might really be possible!

…

At the same time, Emperor Manina was also pondering this question, contemplating the cause of the “tendency towards self-destruction” within the army.

Let’s talk about the current situation.

Due to the self-detonation of Shepherd in the Clouds and the other 90 Blue Star People, the silver passage could not withstand the pressure and completely collapsed.

Inside the passage, the 16 medium and large warships at the forefront, 41 floating ships of various types, and several hundred drones were utterly lost, with only the rear portion of the fleet retreating before the collapse.

Following this encounter, the Skrull fleet suffered considerable losses, and their pursuit of the Blue Star Humans was interrupted.

But Manina wasn’t concerned about these things.

What he was still pondering over, were the words of Shepherd in the Clouds before his death.

“‘See you in the future’? What does ‘see you in the future’ mean?”

King Zhou had promised the Blue Star People that if they win the war, the deceased Blue Star People would be resurrected–a fact that Manina had already learned through his investigative measures. Such a significant event couldn’t be concealed.

But what puzzled him the most was, why did Shepherd in the Clouds launch such a suicidal attack?

That was very strange.
