Roxanne stared blankly at Lan Jue. "Your father did this for you?"
Lan Jue nodded.
Roxanne muttered to herself, "Chi Bupang, you've really won."
Lan Jue's protogenia had been adjusted many times. His Discipline was lightning, and he'd originally followed the path of Zeus.
However, he was from the Eastern Alliance. Although his Discipline was compatible with Zeus's Ascension, it was still lacking in maturity.
Becoming a Paragon wasn't difficult, but continuing to do so would be difficult.
With Jueti's help, he absorbed the thunder essence.
The thunder essence's Five Thunders and the immortal qi were the key to his dharma of the Great Emperor of the North Star.
With the thunder essence and Jueti's guidance, he'd finally found what suited him best.
He'd finally embarked on this path.
He had suppressed his cultivation for such a long time, but now it seemed that everything was worth it.
Captus didn't feel so mysterious to Lan Jue anymore. He'd begun to see some of its mysteries.
However, he'd only just broken through, and needed time to stabilize his cultivation.
But they were in the middle of a war, and he had to complete his mission first.
Lan Jue's communicator had been destroyed during his ascension. Aside from the Lightning's Oath's metal and the Lightning Element's moisturizer, there was nothing left of it.
He was still wearing the Great Emperor of the North Star's robes.
Roxanne handed her communicator to Lan Jue.
Lan Jue quickly dialed Lan Qing's number.
"It's done." Lan Jue spoke to Lan Qing.
"You've broken through?" Lan Qing's voice came through.
"Yeah."
Lan Jue was about to hang up when Lan Qing spoke. "Hello, Middle Heaven Emperor of the North Star of the North Star.
Ten words, not bad. Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you. "
Before Lan Jue could resist again.
Lan Qing had already hung up.
"You …" Lan Jue was completely speechless.
This was truly a case of heaven's wrongs being forgiven, but one's own wrongs being the hardest to bear!
How could he have laughed at her back then?
Now, it was retribution.
"How about Arctic Amethyst?"
"How did you give me a title back then?"
"You win!"
Ten words? What's so great about it?
In fact, the situation on Angel Planet was also reflected in the distant space.
When the thundercloud appeared.
Looking from afar.
Angel's back began to glow, and the aliens near the planet were struck with a momentary panic.
It even affected the battle in space to a certain extent.
Up in space, the humans were at a clear disadvantage as the aliens closed in on them.
However, the humans maintained their formation and retreated, trying their best to maximize their range advantage.
Although they were at a disadvantage, the aliens' losses were much greater than the humans'.
The situation was obvious.
If the aliens were allowed to break into the human fleet, the tide would turn.
The situation would be reversed in an instant, and there might even be a massacre.
Just like the Northern Alliance's Seventh Fleet had encountered the alien home worlds.
But would Lan Qing give them that chance?
Just as the massive, powerful alien charged into space and was about to join the fray …
Things changed on the human side.
More accurately, it was Middle Heaven that was changing.
A low rumble echoed from the bastion.
Without hesitation, the bastion charged into the midst of the alien horde.
It crushed everything in its path.
It charged right into the heart of the alien horde.
When Middle Heaven charged into the enemy ranks, the commanders of the human fleet were stunned.
They didn't know about the plan.
The bastion was strong, and its shields strong.
But the aliens' attack power was extraordinary. Enough ants could bite an elephant to death.
If they charged into the enemy ranks, wouldn't Middle Heaven be in danger?
Middle Heaven's safety was the key to the entire war effort!
The aliens wouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by. Although Middle Heaven's brazen charge had sent many of them flying, they still swarmed forward and attacked the bastion with their most powerful weapons.
Suddenly, the entire bastion began to glow. The honeycomb of cannons that had only been visible on the front of the bastion began to fill the entirety of the bastion. In the blink of an eye, Middle Heaven was like a star that had appeared out of nowhere. A blinding orange light burst forth, like the sun itself.
Within the range of the light, space began to distort violently. This was caused by the high temperature.
In a short time, the orange light had turned to incandescent white.
The aliens that had been attacking Middle Heaven were reduced to ash. They couldn't resist the terrifying heat.
However, the area of effect wasn't large. It only extended for about three thousand meters before it began to weaken. It was different from the previous attacks.
But it was important to remember that the aliens excelled at close-quarters combat. That was why they had focused their attacks on Middle Heaven in an attempt to break through the bastion's shields. Most of the aliens were within range of the bastion's defenses.
It all happened so suddenly that space was illuminated by the incandescent light. Even the aliens that weren't affected by the heat were blinded by the blinding light.
Countless aliens perished in the blink of an eye.
Not only was space illuminated, but even the distant Angel Planet was illuminated, and the temperature was affected to a certain extent.
Shocking. This was the only word that could describe it.
Humanity's three bastions and twelve fleets had received a single order. Close your eyes.
Yes, close your eyes to avoid being affected by the sudden blinding light.
The white orb of light easily devoured the lives of the creatures around it. The hordes of aliens that had been close to Middle Heaven were quickly emptied out.
The light lasted for nearly a minute before it began to fade. Middle Heaven now looked like a giant ball of fire. It glowed with a brilliant red and gold light.
At this moment, it didn't need a protective barrier at all. Just the high temperature that was released from its body was enough to make it extremely lethal.
Vital crystals floated in the air around Middle Heaven.
Some were large, some were small, and some were different.
Against the light of Middle Heaven, they flickered in and out of focus. It was a beautiful sight.
They were like jewels set in the center.
Just then, a shrill shriek pierced the air.
The giant orb that had almost slammed into Middle Heaven suddenly expanded its body. A powerful gravitational force wrapped around Middle Heaven, pulling the vital crystals toward it.
Come to think of it, it could be considered lucky.
It had been on the verge of attacking Middle Heaven, but it had reacted quickly.
At a certain level, any creature, no matter what form, had a strong sense of danger.
When Middle Heaven had appeared, it had been about to charge forward, but a strong sense of danger had stopped it. That was what saved it.
The rest of the aliens were already there, blocking its path of attack.
Then, it saw the huge sun.
Middle Heaven hovered in the air, motionless. It didn't look like it had the ability to retrieve its vital crystals.
For the aliens, as long as they didn't lose vital crystals, they wouldn't suffer too much damage. With the life energy contained in the crystals, there was a chance they could recover.
But then, suddenly, space lit up again.
This time the light didn't come from Middle Heaven, but from behind it.
It was a blinding column of incandescent light, more than a thousand meters wide.
Space itself seemed to distort as it passed.
It was as if a pillar of light had appeared in space.
The beam of white light slammed into the behemoth's body.
The orb's vision, perception, and even psychic abilities had been affected by Middle Heaven's explosion. It hadn't fully recovered yet.
It couldn't dodge this attack.
It had always felt a sense of danger, but in its subconscious it was Middle Heaven that was the source of the threat.
This sudden attack was simply too fast for it.
The beam of light tore through the creature's body, slicing it open and sending it hurtling towards the other aliens.
It lasted only a few seconds, but it cleared a large swathe of aliens in the sky.
Six translucent orbs of blue light shot into the fray. They'd flown in from behind Middle Heaven, using the bastion's concealment as cover. Only when they were behind the bastion did they split up and emerge from the bastion's perimeter.
Each orb was more than five hundred meters in diameter, and didn't stand out in the vast expanse of space. They looked like six small satellites that had emerged from Middle Heaven.

I'm sorry, it's a little late.
