The artificial intelligence, Light and Shadow, projected each region’s warfare, revealing that Negative Energy Combined Beasts were breaking through the mobile forces’ defensive lines and furiously attacking the stationary weapons.

After the stationary defensive weapons were damaged, hordes of monsters surged in like a tide.

A total of 593 of the 2321 defensive areas around Radiant City were in a state of emergency, and the conditions in 722 defensive areas were grim.

"The current number of casualties and deaths is 122,112 people, and the numbers are still rising."

"A large number of Negative God Cell Infection Monsters have appeared within the monster groups, which has never happened before."

...

While Light and Shadow was reporting, it purposely displayed a series of photos, depicting an extremely bizarre scene.

Grotesque creatures like insects, Aliens, Alien Species, and Star-Devouring Beasts had pustules growing on them.

Their eyes were a deep crimson, devoid of any reason.

Goli was silent for a moment, and then looked up at Light and Shadow.

"Inform all defense soldiers to be extremely cautious of those monsters with pustules on their bodies, infected by Negative God Cells. These monsters’ strength surges after infection! They become irrational and will continue to fight until completely dead, so never underestimate them. Also, prepare the weapon loading for Radiant City and get ready for a barrage."

"Yes!"

Light and Shadow responded.

Standing nearby, Xia Weiya furrowed her brow, addressing Goli, "Lady Goli, isn’t it a bit too soon for Radiant City to engage now? While the situation isn’t great, it’s still within tolerable limits; we can reinforce the problematic areas."

"I understand your point, but if we act only when the outer defenses are compromised, it’ll be too late."

Goli directly rejected Xia Weiya’s suggestion.

After hearing this, Xia Weiya didn’t argue further.

At this moment, Light and Shadow moved, controlling Radiant City to deploy all its weapons, locking onto problematic warfare zones from an ultra-long distance.

A notification box popped up.

"Defense Zone 114 locked!"

"Defense Zone 729 locked!"

....

"Attack!"

Without hesitation, Goli waved her hand and issued the command.

In an instant, Radiant City unleashed an incredibly terrifying attack. Countless missiles shot out from innumerable launch ports, and beams filled with destructive power rained down like a storm.

Rumble!

The monsters that surged into the defense zones were instantly cleared out en masse.

The situation, which had been on the brink of disaster, was immediately stabilized by Radiant City’s intervention.

...

The next day, in the command room of the legendary Star Destroyer, Immortal Blade.

Su Mo was browsing the situation at Radiant City while pondering how long this monster tide would last.

At that moment, suddenly, Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated.

Curious, Su Mo glanced over, and a notification popped up.

"Tip: You have been invited by Qian Chengxue to join the Chenxi chat group."

Seeing this notification, Su Mo was quite surprised! He hadn’t expected the company to have its own group, and that he would join so late. With this thought, a peculiar expression crept onto Su Mo’s face.

He then carefully inspected the Chenxi chat group.

This group had about five thousand members, all senior executives of the Chenxi Group.

The group was exceptionally lively, with everyone discussing the battle situation at Radiant City.

"The battle at Radiant City is so fierce!"

"Did any of you see the attack and defense battle at Defense Zone 8? I saw Lady Rose fighting there; she was absolutely awesome. No matter how many monsters came, she dealt with them effortlessly."

"Lady Rose’s fight was impressive, but she’s nothing compared to Royal Order’s Bagley. He guards Defense Zone 1, the central battlefield. The number of monsters there is overwhelming, and just yesterday, he personally took down two Type V monsters."

"Yes, yes, I also saw it. I think one of them was a very special type, called something like..."

"The official announcement calls it a Combined Beast."

...

While everyone was fervently discussing, Sun Li noticed Su Mo entering the group and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Su Mo!"

"Lord Su Mo has joined the group?"

"Where is he? My idol!"

...

In an instant, the women who initially discussed the frontline battle completely shifted their focus, excitedly flooding the chat!

Su Mo felt slightly headache but still joined in, saying a single line.

"Hello everyone."

As soon as he spoke, the group became even more explosive, with countless people frantically messaging.

"Lord Su Mo, where are you? Are you on the front lines?"

"Are you stupid? Lord Su Mo must not be on the front lines, or else there wouldn’t be a chance for anyone else to perform."

...

Within just a few seconds, the group amassed tens of thousands of messages. Seeing this, Su Mo’s eyes grew tired, so he replied with one line.

"Thank you all for your hard work, but I have to go now."

He quickly closed the chat group and exhaled deeply.

But before he could relax for a moment, his bracelet started vibrating again.

Su Mo, somewhat puzzled, looked over and saw two notifications pop up.

"Tip: Congratulations, you have received an invitation from Icaroya City Lord to join the Star Ring City general group."

"Tip: Congratulations, you have received an invitation from Icaroya City Lord to join the Halo Group."

...

Faced with these two notifications, Su Mo was taken aback. An invitation from Icaroya City Lord?

He hurriedly opened the Star Ring City general group to have a look.

Unexpectedly, the general group was eerily quiet.

Su Mo briefly scrolled up the chat history, finding the last message from two months ago, said by Major General Luca, who simply noted one thing.
