Xiaosu shook her head. "I'm fine, just a little tired. Can you help me up?"
The doctor helped her to her feet. "Go back and rest.
We'll be facing stronger foes soon. "
"Yeah.
I wonder how he's doing.
He's in even more danger. "Xiaosu's voice was worried.
The doctor smiled. "He'll be fine.
If something happens to him, I'm afraid we won't be able to win. "
Xiaosu chuckled. "Yeah!
Our boss is invincible. "
Kang Hui was more willing to give the word 'invincible' to his brother.
Kang Hui had prepared to die for his country when he led Tyrannosaurus.
But from the very first battle, the humans were able to turn the tide and gain the upper hand.
They'd retaken seven planets and healed over a billion Western Alliance citizens. Their armies had advanced without fail.
They'd protected Angel and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's main force. It was the best they could hope for.
By now, Kang Hui had nothing but respect for Lan Qing.
This young man deserved to be called the God of War.
If not for him, the war would have collapsed long ago.
Kang Hui's heart was at ease now that his final goal was in sight.
Now that they'd come this far, there was only one thing left to do. Fight with everything they had!
He thought of the fallen marshals of Arachnid and Terminator. He thought of the fallen commanders of the battleships he'd been familiar with.
He swore to himself that even if he had to fight to the last man, he wouldn't retreat. He would destroy the alien home worlds.
The Northern Alliance had fully acknowledged their mission.
In fact, Kang Hui knew that if they failed, he'd been acting on his own initiative. If they won, he'd be the Northern Alliance's representative.
Finally, this series of victories could be considered to have cleared his name.
Even if he died, he'd be a hero.
He couldn't help but smile at the thought. Heroes. Whether they won or lost, each and every one of them was a hero to humanity!
Middle Heaven's grand conference room.
Lan Qing didn't rest. After taking care of business, he invited all the Paragons to a meeting.
Apart from Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin, who were still in space absorbing and stabilizing their laws, only Roxanne stayed behind to accompany and protect them. All the other Juggernauts were gathered here.
Lan Qing walked to the head of the table. He didn't sit immediately, instead bowing deeply to the gathered Paragons.
"Thank you all.
If you hadn't risked your lives to fight, I'm afraid we would've already lost this battle, "Lan Qing said sincerely.
"There's no need to be so polite, Admiral Lan Qing.
If it weren't for your command, we wouldn't have been able to play any role. "
Lan Qing took his seat at the head of the table. "I've invited all of you here today to discuss countermeasures against the aliens.
Star Division's effectiveness in today's battle has been remarkable. When they fought the aliens in close combat, they made up for their shortcomings.
That's why I'm hoping the North will send in some of their mecha pilots to do the same.
That way, we'll be able to restrain the aliens from breaking into our fleet. "
The Terminator nodded. "That won't be a problem. I'll give the order as soon as the meeting is over.
Not just the North, but every Adept we have who can pilot a mecha will be sent into battle.
This could be our last battle, and we'll need all of our strength. "
The Pontiff nodded. "The Pontiff's Citadel doesn't have much left, but we're willing to give it everything we have.
As for Satan's Dark Citadel … "
Before he could finish, a voice called from outside. "The Dark Citadel will also be joining the fight."
The door to the meeting room swung open, and Mika strode in.
Although the people sitting in the conference room were the most powerful beings in the human world, Mika did not seem to be at a disadvantage in terms of aura.
She strode in and took a seat at the end of the room.
Her long red hair was a darker shade, and her eyes were a deep crimson.
Her aura flickered in and out of existence.
She wasn't a Paragon yet, but she was at the peak of ninth level.
One must know that it had only been a few days since Satan had died in battle.
Mika, however, was like a different person.
Her eyes were cold, and the magic around her surged like a tidal wave.
Breaking through in such a short time could only mean one thing. She'd accepted the Demon King's legacy, and unlocked the power she'd been suppressing.
Chu Cheng and the Gourmet exchanged a look. The Gourmet shot him a questioning look.
Although he was Chu Cheng's uncle, Chu Cheng was the true head of the Hades Bloodline.
Chu Cheng didn't hesitate to shake his head at the Gourmet.
Humanity was on the brink of extinction, and there was no room for infighting.
The fact that Mika had taken control of Satan's Dark Citadel in such a short time was a testament to her abilities.
The Gourmet was a little worried. In the future, this girl could become the new Demon King.
Lan Qing's eyes followed Mika's. After a moment of surprise, he nodded.
Lan Qing's Vairocana Dharma had an innate rejection of evil.
But he could feel that although Mika seemed to be filled with a dark aura, her eyes were clear, and her mind didn't seem to be affected too much.
He nodded his head slightly, indicating that he had accepted her arrival.
Mika nodded back, but her face was expressionless. Her eyes scanned the room, but when she didn't find the person she was looking for, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.
News of Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin's progeny had been kept secret. Only the Paragons who had participated in the war knew.
Lan Qing nodded. "Since your Majesties have no objections, let's regroup and divide up our forces."
Next on the agenda was a discussion of how to mobilize Adepts for space combat.
At this stage of the war, it had already entered a white-hot state. One step to heaven, one step to hell. Everyone was very clear that they had to go all out in this situation.
"There are many aliens, more than we anticipated. I'll make arrangements, and I hope your Majesties will cooperate.
Fighting alone will be difficult. We'll have to fight as a group to gain the upper hand. "
Overall, the humans didn't have the upper hand. In fact, they were at a disadvantage. And that was without considering the alien home worlds.
However, the allied forces had managed to weaken the aliens to a certain degree. The transformed Bastion Neptune and Middle Heaven had dealt a heavy blow to the alien forces.
Under these circumstances, the aliens' advantage in numbers was reduced. Although the humans didn't have enough soldiers, the three bastions had enough supplies to make up for the losses they'd suffered.
Bastions were capable of producing their own weaponry, after all.
The Terminator nodded as he listened to Lan Qing.
The number of top-level aliens was far greater than they'd anticipated. Fighting them head-on would be difficult.
The number of top-level aliens was far greater than they had anticipated. Fighting them head-on would be difficult.
If it weren't for Lan Jue and Qianlin's sudden breakthrough, drawing the Middle Heaven Great Emperor of the North Pole Star of Purple Subtlety's soul to its full potential, they would've been defeated. It was hard to say how many of them would've made it back alive.
In the next battle, although they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, they had to make their sacrifices worthwhile. Obtaining the final victory was the most important thing.
The meeting went smoothly. The Paragons cooperated and distributed their resources.
Humanity's greatest advantage lay in the fact that their Adepts were effective against the aliens. With the three bastions as the foundation, the Paragons were able to hold their own against the alien horde. Even if the aliens outnumbered them, they wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand.
As for who would win and who would lose, they'd have to fight to find out.
Of course, that was assuming the home worlds didn't participate in the war.
The Paragons left the room. Lan Qing was about to leave when Mika blocked his way.
"Admiral Lan Qing, where's my boss?
Why isn't he here? "
Mika hadn't been able to find Lan Jue. She'd tried to contact her communicator during the meeting, but there had been no response. She was uneasy.
Satan's death had been a huge blow to her. If something happened to Lan Jue, she'd be devastated.
During the meeting just now, she even felt that she could not suppress her Demon Bloodline because of her emotions.
A light flashed in Lan Qing's eyes. He lifted a finger and touched Mika's forehead.
Mika felt her entire body tremble as a fiery stream of energy entered her forehead. The demonic intent that had been stirring within her seemed to have encountered the most frightening thing in the world. In an instant, it dissipated, allowing her to clear her mind.
Lan Qing's voice was low. "Since we've chosen this path, we need to control ourselves. We can't afford to make any mistakes.
Ah Jue is fine, he's meditating.
He has other duties to attend to, so he won't be participating. He doesn't need to attend today's meeting. "
With that said, he strode away.
Mika relaxed when she heard that Lan Jue was fine.
Lan Qing's finger had been simple, but it had solved a huge problem for her.
Only she knew how she'd survived these past few days.
