Chapter 2565: 2565
Chapter 2565: Iron Ball I!
Faced with the scourge of the ferocious barrage, those starships boosted their power units to the maximum without any exception, fleeing to all directions in panic .
Boss Bai’s fleet did leave the escaping starships alone and focused the firepower on the starships at the center of the enemy’s battle formation .
The starships that were lingering in Song Changlie’s battle formation mostly belonged to the Song family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family . Some of them were even the warships of the Yun family .
The warships of the Yun family were the most befuddled ones of all, having no idea if Boss Bai was really supervising the battle under Yun Xuefeng’s instruction .
However, the situation was too emergent for them to think or decide . Before they could react, they had been locked onto by the warships of the Song family that were right next to them . Even though the fire of destruction had not been spurted out of the warships of the Song family yet, their coldness and hostility couldn’t have been more apparent .
When two warships had locked onto each other, their mutual destruction would only be a matter of time .
There was no telling who opened fire first, but all in all, before Boss Bai’s fleet reached near, the warships of the Song family and those of the Yun family had already started to fight .
The warships of the Li family and the Dongfang family, on the other hand, decided to not get involved in the mess after a brief hesitation . Together with other random warships, they fled as quickly as possible, implying that they had given up their resistance and were waiting to be recruited by Boss Bai .
“How dare you!”
In only half an hour, an enormous fleet had fallen apart, and the starships were dancing and sparkling like burning fireflies . Song Changlie was fuming in fury as he watched it .
He tried to stop the starships that were escaping from him, but almost all the starships shut down the communication with him and ran further and further without looking back .
Even some of the warships of the Song family had secretly left the hotspot, abandoning him!
To this moment, Song Changlie still felt that he was in a most absurd nightmare, finding it impossible to believe what was happening before his eyes at all .
Boss Bai was merely a lowly space pirate who was only good at adulating his master Li Wuji, and Li Wuji was only good at adulating Yun Xuefeng . That was how the guy became the commander of “National Protection Army” .
The starships around him should’ve been temporarily gathered and couldn’t have been the original team of the “National Protect Army” . How could he command them so neatly, and how could they have such a high combat ability?

Besides, how was he intrepid enough to launch lethal attacks on a marquess of the Imperium from the Song family? Was he not scared of the thunderous fury of the Song family? Was he not afraid that the alliance of a million starships would fall apart, and the trust and cooperation among the four families would suddenly be gone?
It was a battlefield of paramount importance . The Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors’ army, which had been cornered, was ready to launch a desperate counterattack anytime . How was he cold enough to do this?
Song Changlie couldn’t have been more baffled .
“You’re out of your mind . You’re truly out of your mind!”
Song Changlie roared, “After I catch you, skin you, and toss you to Yun Xuefeng’s front, let’s see how you are going to explain it to the four families!”
Together with his roar, the three Colossi, Song Changlie’s last trump cards, finally showed up . In three streaks of rushing brilliance, they darted at “Alloy Virus”, Boss Bai’s flagship!
“Hehehehe, even though you control more starships than I do and you’ve launched a shameless ambush, what can you do after I capture your flagship and dig you and Li Wuji out of your nest?”
Song Changlie was aware that Li Wuji had a Colossus .
However, Li Wuji was not purely a battle-type Immortal Cultivator . He was more of an admin-type one who was better at the conspiracies within the family as well as the construction and command of fleets .
The users of the three Colossi under Song Changlie’s command, on the other hand, were out-and-out battle-type Immortal Cultivators . They were among the tough warriors even in the entire Imperium!
In the past half an hour, Song Changlie did not idle by but had been trying to locate and lock onto “Alloy Virus” . At this moment, after the enemy was clearly located, he released the fatal weapons!
The light from the three Colossi immediately eclipsed the battlefield that was brimming with fireworks .
Every Colossus was unleashing the tides of spiritual energy tens of thousands of meters tall, which brushed the detection magical equipment of all the starships in huge noises .
Even the fleeing starships, after sensing the arrival of the Colossi, couldn’t help but slow down their escape, doubting if the scales of victory would be tipped to Song Changlie’s side .
The starships that Boss Bai had browbeat into his side did not have a strong fighting will either . Seeing that the Colossi were coming, they hurried to back off, exposing “Alloy Virus” to the enemy . Or rather, “Alloy Virus” had pressed forward on its way and exposed itself to the three aggressive Colossi!
From “Alloy Virus” and the few starships of the “Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs”, tremendous battle puppets that were specifically designed for the zero gravity in space were deployed .

Those battle puppets did not have hands, feet, or any limb . They were purely round iron balls that were dashing briefly with the dozens of spouts all over their bodies . However, they could also be assembled with each other through the magnetic field . The form came from one of the “Hyper Spirits” that Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan designed . Li Yao and Long Yangjun had once fought similar battle puppets in space .
Xiaoming and Wenwen originated from the “Hyper Spirits” in the first place . Naturally, they inherited the relevant design and construction data . After being comprehensively upgraded and strengthened by the Fist King, they became the new generation of “Colossus Killer”!
Thousands of unattractive iron balls, congregating into a bloodcurdling torrent, swept at the three Colossi .
The great headache that once haunted Li Yao and Long Yangjun now harassed the Immortal Cultivators of the Song family .
The iron balls were massive in number and extremely fast . Also, they had spouts all over their bodies, and there were no patterns in their movements at all, making it terribly difficult for them to be locked onto or destroyed .
Also, the powerful magnetic fields that they brought attacked the Colossi like a storm from all directions . Sometimes, they were even attached to the surface of the Colossi, unleashing intense electric arcs, releasing strident interferential waves, or even exploding directly . All the three Colossi were in a flurry as they dealt with the enemy .
In the meantime, Boss Bai’s starships were not idling by . Including Alloy Virus and Steel Mouse, the main warships with strong firepower locked onto the three Colossi and almost emptied their entire arsenal .
Thousands of surging fiery snakes piled an overwhelming fire wall that even the magnificent Colossi could not pass!
It was the ideology that supported the “Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships” that the extreme firepower, together with battle puppets and drones commanded by the state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, was able to compete with the Colossi . At this moment, it was preliminarily tested on the Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs .
Of course, Colossi were still the invincible ultimate weapons in space .
Xiaoming, Wenwen, and the Fist King’s attempts in “unmanned war” were still in the phase of exploration and experimentation too .
The firepower suppression from Alloy Virus and Steel Mouse was also far from the Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships .
Therefore, after paying a price of almost half of their spiritual energy reserve, the three Colossi still tore apart the seeming indestructible fire wall and appeared before Alloy Virus magnificently .
“You’re screwed!”
On “Tiger Roar”, Song Changlie gnashed his teeth and bashed the control panel so hard that it was sparking and smoking while his own hands were bleeding too . “Bai and Li, both of you are screwed!”
“The ‘Iron Ball I Fully-Automatic War System’ is indeed still deeply flawed!”
On the bridge of Alloy Virus, Xiaoming and Wenwen, who existed in all the broken battle puppets as well as in the command chain at the same time, sighed gloomily . “Although our idea to use the computational ability of the idle crystal processors on all the starships and control all the iron balls remotely is good, we have underestimated the interferences on the battlefield and the instability of the network . At least 40% of the iron balls cannot be controlled precisely . Even those which are controlled precisely are too rigid . They are not half as agile and swift as real human beings . ”
“Let’s take it slowly . Even the information lives have to abide by the law of evolution too . ‘Iron Ball II’ that is still being experimented with will certainly be better than ‘Iron Ball I’ . Perhaps it will be dozens of iterations later when the battle puppets or drones of such a model can be finalized!”
The Fist King’s calm voice came over . “It took hundreds of years for me to evolve into who I am today . I don’t mind waiting for another several hundred years . Time is the most worthless thing of all for us . ”
“So, are you done chattering?”
Long Yangjun’s impatient voice chimed in . “If you’re done, it will be my turn, right?”
“Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Long . ”
Xiaoming and Wenwen said, “We will control the remaining iron balls to provide fire support and battlefield assistance . It will be the best if the intactness of the three Colossi is ensured as much as possible . Those Colossi will be very suitable for the experts from the federation, like ‘Sword Maniac’ Yan Liren, after preliminary modifications! I believe that they will hone his unstoppable blade and make it even sharper than before, right?”
“Yan Liren…”
Long Yangjun smiled . “I had almost forgotten about the ‘Sword Maniac’ if you didn’t mention him . I truly wonder, how strong will the guy be after he is equipped with a more advanced Colossus? Will it be possible for him to slash the gods in the universe in one attack?”
Smiling, Long Yangjun stepped onto the battlefield casually in her super Colossus,
“Heavenly Crystal”,
When she appeared behind the Colossi of the three Immortal Cultivators without a sound under the cover of the overwhelming iron balls, the battle did not have any more suspense .

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
