Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 410 - 114: Han Ling Forced to Self-Destruct? Yu Jin: Roll Out the Gundam!

Celestial God Civilization, central fortress.

In the spacious Council Hall, hysterical howls were echoing.

The faces of all the Celestial God Civilization high-levels present were tense at this moment.

The highest Commander of the Civilization’s legions had just spoken what was in their hearts.

But...

"Enough!"

A cold shout rang out from atop the throne.

The highest Commander, who had been wailing and whining, accusing Dawn Fortress of "cheating," cut off his voice abruptly.

At this moment.

An invisible giant hand, like grabbing a chick, clamped around his neck.

"Ugh—ah—"

This Tier Nineteen Limit Evolver thrashed his limbs desperately, yet had no power to resist.

His face reddened, then turned dark purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This seemingly simple giant hand was not restraining his breathing, but his fundamental Life Energy and all the Attribute Energy within his body.

Such a scene.

Made the high-levels in the hall even more silent and terrified.

But...

Looking at Han Ling’s frost-covered face on the throne, no one dared plead for that Legion Commander at this time.

Time slowly passed.

The life aura of the suspended Commander grew thinner and thinner.

Until...

Bang—!

A dull sound rang out.

The invisible giant hand vanished into thin air, and the highest Legion Commander fell from mid-air to the ground.

Huff—

Huff—ha—!

He gulped down great mouthfuls of air; his widened Pupils were full of fear and the fortune of surviving a great calamity.

As the saying goes, "Serving a sovereign is like serving a tiger."

For quite a long time in the past, he had always been Han Ling’s most trusted subordinate, but without realizing it, he had forgotten his master’s temperament.

"Do it again, and you die."

On the throne, Han Ling spoke blandly.

The highest Legion Commander nodded repeatedly in panic: "Yes, yes, yes..."

In the hall.

Because of this sudden interlude, it sank into an even heavier silence.

No one dared speak again, let alone report the battlefield situation.

And on the throne.

Han Ling didn’t care about what these subordinates were thinking.

His gaze, crossing layers of barriers, took in every scene from the Star Realm battlefield.

"Twenty thousand."

Han Ling muttered, speaking this number.

To be honest.

As strong as he was, as proud as a Descendant of the Divine Bloodline.

Han Ling had to admit that this number shocked him.

He had never imagined—

That he would bring the Nash Clan’s airdropped support, lead a full seven thousand Super Large fortresses, yet find himself completely on the back foot when facing Yu Jin’s Civilization forces.

This was something he had never anticipated before.

"Athena!"

Han Ling spoke the second name.

Only, his tone already carried a hint of gritted teeth.

Since the war had begun, more than three days had passed.

Han Ling had also found a "reasonable" source for Dawn Fortress’s currently unbelievable Fortress Battleships.

Aside from Athena of the Ophelia Federation, Han Ling couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Just as the Nash Clan could air-drop Warships for the Celestial God Civilization—

Athena and her clan could also inject resources for Yu Jin.

Only...

There was one point Han Ling couldn’t figure out.

If Yu Jin’s Fortress Battleships were all airdropped by Athena, then why was she still desperately searching for Yu Jin’s whereabouts?

"Did Yu Jin conceal his coordinate information?"

"Or is there some other special reason?"

Han Ling pondered for a long time and could not arrive at a reasonable answer.

But this did not affect his earlier judgment.

Because—

As a fellow Descendant of the Divine Bloodline, Han Ling did not believe and absolutely could not accept that Yu Jin could rely only on himself, only on the Divine Bloodline, to develop his Civilization forces to this extent.

Twenty thousand Super Large interstellar war fortresses!

What kind of concept was that?

That was enough to sweep an entire Star System Wasteland!

And bear in mind, Yu Jin had only been Promoted for two or three months at most!

Vaguely.

Even Han Ling himself failed to realize—

Back when he decided to mobilize the Celestial God Civilization and eliminate Yu Jin before Promoting to the High-Dimensional Federation, he had already "acknowledged" that his own Divine Bloodline was inferior to Yu Jin’s.

Descendants of the Divine Bloodline were proud.

But Descendants of the Divine Bloodline were also extremely cautious.

After all—

The more one possessed the Divine Bloodline, the more one could grasp just how powerful and heaven-defying this "cheat" really was.

"I must..."

"Eliminate you."

Han Ling’s resolve grew even firmer.

Before arriving at the T-1001 Star Realm, he had even considered playing nice with Yu Jin, perhaps even seeing whether there was a chance to take the latter in as his underling.

But now?

Either you die or I die; only one of us walks away!

"Tell me—"

"The opponent’s weaknesses."

On the throne, Han Ling’s voice rang out again.

This time, he clearly stated what he wanted—he wanted good news, not discouraging words.

"M-my, my lord..."

Below the throne.

The highest Commander, who had barely recovered, now spoke up.

His form of address had changed as well.

"Speak."

Han Ling spat out a single word calmly.

"We, we have an enormous advantage in Evolvers—or rather, in the number of soldiers!"

The highest Legion Commander spoke in a rush.

"Continue."

On the throne, Han Ling’s expression did not change.

"It’s like this..."

"Over the past three days, we’ve gathered quite a bit of information..."

"Among which is one point—"

"Their soldiers, their Evolver members, are almost all enslaved from several weak Civilization forces scattered throughout the T-1001 Star Realm."

"Those like the Farben Civilization and such—their Civilization forces were weak to begin with, not worth mentioning!"

"They lag far behind us on the Evolver front!"

"Not just in quantity, but in quality as well!"

"In the past three days, we have deployed High-tier Evolver Corps, whereas the enemy has stayed hidden inside their Fortress Battleships the entire time, not daring to show themselves!"
