Chapter 255: Attack on the Royal Palace
The governor of a small star system spoke first: "Your Majesty Seville, if the Zerg can resolve this Bloodstone crisis, you may name your conditions."
Sevier waited for them to speak, and with a slight smile, she said, "Then let's have a good talk."
The Zerg could easily defend their own doorstep to resolve the Bloodstone gravity field, as they are capable of doing so. However, if they want to help all star systems resolve this crisis, they must negotiate terms, rather than offering help for free.
Moreover, the ore used to solve the Bloodstone problem comes from the Zerg.
The Zerg are no longer the race that only knew how to fight and shut themselves away to develop their own civilization. The theft of Anunu is the most painful lesson the Zerg have ever learned.
This lesson should have been enough to wake them up.
The crisis of the Bloodstone Gravity Field is being addressed with a plan, while Dennis's escape has alerted the Zerg Allies.
They traced the flight path of the spaceship Dennis used when he escaped, and found it was heading towards the Casa system.
This confirms that the Casa Galaxy and Dennis are still connected, and he must be inextricably linked to Bloodstone.
The young governor of the Northern River, Brightman, has been missing for a long time, and they have been unable to find him. Now it seems that he must have been hidden by Dennis.
In the following period, the Zerg sent out a legion specifically to deal with the gravity field using energy ore.
Interstellar warfare has also come to a complete halt, and legions from various star systems have begun to gradually withdraw from the main battlefield.
The Interstellar Alliance has broken down and is reorganizing, preparing to sit down at the negotiating table.
Everything was proceeding rapidly. For ordinary people of all races in the interstellar world, the greatest wish was for the war to end and for them to live a peaceful life.
At that very moment, the Zerg's little queen bug disappeared.
Both little queen beetles disappeared at the same time.
Severton, who was still at the front-line base, immediately changed his expression and urgently recalled all his high-ranking family members.
Caesar opened a portal and led all his high-ranking relatives from the front lines back to the palace.
Once he and his entourage arrived at the palace, they could no longer sense the presence or consciousness of Anno and Sitar.
But one could smell a faint scent left by foreigners in the palace.
His and his other high-ranking relatives' expressions immediately turned cold, and they exuded murderous intent.
Caesar and Secris entered the inner sanctum and saw Augsis and Sylvie standing in Anno's room, with Sylvie holding a shattered model of a fighter jet.
Lord Hibia stood to one side, examining the signs of a struggle in the room.
He was the one who opened the portal and brought Sevier back quickly.
The room was in a mess, with many items overturned on the floor. On the side closer to the inside of the room, the floor had sunk into a large hole, as if it had been corroded by something.
The large hole extended outside the room, swallowing up the entire wall and leaving the room empty and exposed, facing the mineral deposits outside.
Outside, Bao Bao lay on the ground, panting heavily. The horn on his forehead was broken, one of his eyes was injured, and his body was covered with various wounds, as if he had been hit hard by something in an instant.
Bazel and Poponia lay on the ground, barely breathing.
Caesar's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward to check their injuries.
Their outer armor was shattered, their shoulders and abdomens were pierced, and the wounds glowed with a crimson light, with some fragments resembling red crystals remaining.
Cyrus crouched down beside him, met his gaze, and said in a deep voice, "It's Bloodstone."
Fortunately, Augsis replenished their energy with energy ore in time, preventing them from being devoured by the bloodstone.
Caesar suppressed his raging anger and connected with Bazel's consciousness in the consciousness network to examine his memories.
Ten minutes ago.
As usual, Anno and Sitar studied together in the palace. Anno was tinkering with a new fighter jet model, while Sitar was sorting through the knowledge inherited by the Zerg.
Accompanying them were Mingxiao, Bazel, Poponia, and Tanville.
There's also Bao Bao, who's on the balcony, hugging a mineral and munching on it.
During this time, Sevier kept Anno in the palace and did not allow her to go anywhere until a solution was found for her core problem.
The palace itself was fortified, and with Augustus in charge, her safety could be protected to the greatest extent possible.
"Sitare, I've finished. Now you can color it."
Anno handed the fighter jet model to Sitar, whose design was done by Sitar, who was very talented in design.
As soon as Sitar took the model from Anno, a portal opened into their room.
Upon seeing this spatial portal, Caesar and Secris, whose consciousnesses were connected, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The palace is protected by energy. Even those with SSS-level spatial abilities, like Caesar and Hibia, cannot open a spatial portal into the palace without permission.
Stepping out of the portal was Brightman, who had been missing for many days.
He was accompanied by four subordinates dressed in combat suits, and from Bazel's consciousness, they could also sense that these people had very strong energy.
The moment the portal appeared, Mingxiao and his team immediately went into battle mode.
The battle lasted only half a minute.
With a wave of his hand, Brightman froze the creature that was attacking them.
Not only Bao Bao, but everyone present was frozen in place and unable to move.
This is Cecil's time manipulation ability.
It can temporarily slow down time and restrain the opponent's actions.
Brightman walked up to Anno and reached out to touch her face, but was attacked by a pure black blade. He reacted quickly and dodged backward, but the blade still cut his wrist.
Sitar, wielding a long sword, stood in front of Anno. His movements were affected by the supernatural power, but he still tried his best to break through the limitations.
Brightman stared at him for two seconds, then raised his hand, and a portal appeared beneath Sitar and Anno's feet, causing them both to fall downwards.
Mingxiao used his supernatural abilities to break through the limitations and quickly reached out to grab Anno and Sitar, who were falling downwards.
Bazel and his two companions attempted to attack Brightman and his group, but were all restrained by Brightman's powers, with the bloodstone blades piercing through their bodies.
Finally, Brightman opened the portal and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The moment the portal closed, Tanvir, who had used his illusionary abilities to evade the attack, followed.
The entire process, from Brightman's appearance to his disappearance, lasted only half a minute.
Augustus rushed over from the main hall, only to find a scene of chaos after the fight.
After exiting Bazel's memories, Caesar and the others were all in a state of near-rage.
That's outrageous!
They not only breached the palace's defenses, but also captured their two princes from within the palace!
Sevier stared at the broken fighter jet model in her hand, violent energy emanating from her body until it was calmed down by Augsis's energy.
She took a deep breath, placed the fighter jet model on the table, turned around, and glanced at the group of family members in front of her.
Nancy stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how were they able to break through the palace's energy barrier?"
Her Majesty has already lost the young prince once, and in a fit of rage she loses her judgment. He wanted to distract her and pull her thoughts back from her frenzied state.
Upon hearing his question, Sevier's mania subsided somewhat, and she exchanged a glance with Augsis.
The two delved deeper into the consciousness network, carefully reviewing Brightman's memories of entering the palace.
“Bryman’s energy is very strong.” Sevier opened her eyes. “He possesses multiple abilities simultaneously, and these abilities do not appear to be his own.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Hibia walked up from behind her and said in a slightly somber tone, "He also possesses my Abyss Power. This huge hole was created by the Abyss Power devouring everything."
Hibia's tone revealed his concern.
Ten years ago, he almost used his Abyss power to devour the entire Tianyun Galaxy.
He was already beyond saving, but Cangmiao terminated his ability, almost costing him his life. He never used that ability again after that.
If Brightman possesses his abilities, and given that he was once the highest-ranking official of the Northern River and a remnant of Dennis's organization, this would be extremely dangerous.
Augsis said in a deep voice, "When I arrived, his aura had not completely dissipated. I could sense Anunu's core aura on him."
Sevier clenched her fist: "He possesses a core fragment of Anunu, so the palace's energy defense screen mistook him for Anunu and let him in."
