Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 984 - 685: The Uncontrollable One

In the material world, on the battlefield at the edge of the Karian Star System, Bai E was completely unaware of the undercurrents and conspiracy in the high-dimensional space caused by him.

The ultimate beam slashed by the "Star Emperor" mecha, after completely obliterating the Brain Worm and its associated biological giant ship, slowly dissipated into the deep space of the universe.

The battlefield was plunged into dead silence.

The last remaining giant ship of the Bug Race and a few surviving traitor fleet ships had long severed their spiritual energy links or control systems in boundless fear, floating or slowly drifting in space like headless flies, completely losing their combat will.

The defensive fleet and orbital platforms of the Karian Federation also fell into silence. Everyone was immersed in the overwhelming impact and bewilderment brought by this victory that transcended understanding and seemed like a miracle.

Until the public communication channel echoed with the voice of President Edwin, choked with emotion and trembling: "We... we won! The Bug Race fleet has been defeated! Karian... is saved!"

This sentence was like a spark igniting a fuse, instantly exploding in a frenzy of surviving ecstasy!

"We won! We won!"

"Long live Mr. Bai Er!"

"Long live Bauhinia!"

The command center erupted with deafening cheers and cries.

Officers hugged each other, and technicians sat slumped in their chairs, crying tears of joy.

Catherine leaned against the control platform of the Silver Feather mecha, tears blurring her vision, yet her face blossomed with a radiant, heartfelt smile.

General Aleksey looked at the blue and white mecha silhouette quietly suspended in the starry sky on the screen and slowly, solemnly, saluted, performing the most standard military salute.

Xing Zhuo stood on the observation bridge of the Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance, his heart surging with emotions, but as an experienced commander and politician, he calmed down faster than others.

He immediately ordered: "Immediately organize the battle data and video materials, especially the final combat scenes of Mr. Bai Er, and encrypt them at the highest level! Communication team, prepare high-priority encrypted hyperspace communications, I need to contact the parliament and Business Alliance headquarters directly! Quickly!"

He realized that what happened today would completely change Bai E's status and destiny in the alliance, and even among all known human forces in the universe.

A tactical nuclear bomb capable of single-handedly defeating a Bug Race sub-fleet on the frontlines, its value and deterrent power are immeasurable.

The attitude of the alliance towards him must undergo a complete 180-degree fundamental adjustment!

In the center of the battlefield, Bai E sat in the cockpit of the "Star Emperor" mecha and slowly exhaled a warm breath.

The brilliant spiritual energy patterns on the mecha's surface and the light wings behind were gradually dimming and dissipating.

A strong sense of exhaustion and a certain hollowness at the soul level surged up.

What just happened almost drained all his strength, not only spiritual energy but also mental will.

He could feel that his resonance with the immense will of the Karian planet had weakened and disconnected.

The feeling of wielding power akin to controlling the Star River receded like a tide, leaving a clearer self-awareness— the miraculous strike just now was not his doing alone.

He looked at the mecha status screen, with many sections marked in red, energy reserves depleted, and armor severely damaged, but the core structure remained intact.

The channel echoed with Catherine's urgent voice: "Sir! How are you? Do you need rescue?"

"I'm fine." Bai E's voice carried a hint of exhaustion, but remained steady, "Notify the Karian side to clean the battlefield, detain prisoners, and treat the wounded. The Bug Race remnants and traitor fleets need careful inspection."

"Yes!" Catherine immediately responded.

Bai E then connected to the direct channel with the "Shield of Defense" command center: "President Edwin, General Aleksey, the crisis is temporarily resolved. But the follow-up handling work is very important, especially the investigation of the traitor fleet, be sure to find out the source and method of their infiltration."

The fact that the Bug Race has special models that can disguise themselves and replace humans should also be made known to these humans in the universe.

President Edwin's voice was full of gratitude and awe: "Mr. Bai Er, we will follow your orders completely! The entire Karian Federation is forever grateful for your kindness! You are our savior!"

"I'm no savior," Bai E calmly responded, "just fulfilling a promise. Now, please fulfill your promise to assist us in stabilizing the situation and provide necessary repairs and supplies. Also, regarding the status of the Bauhinia Republic..."

"Rest assured! Mr. Bai Er!" President Edwin immediately promised, "The Karian Federation will fully support the legitimate status of the Bauhinia Republic in all possible occasions! Moreover, we are willing to establish the closest alliance with your country!"

The political gains are significant.

However, Bai E felt no great joy in his heart, only a deeper sense of urgency.

The threat of the Bug Race was far from over, and what was defeated this time was only a sub-fleet.

The next time they come, who knows what kind of storm will arrive.

...

When Xing Zhuo's urgent communication reached the Peak Alliance's highest council, the previously contentious roundtable fell into dead silence.

The holographic projections repeatedly played the scenes from the Karian Star System battle—

Especially the blue and white beam that pierced through the starry sky, and the image of the "Star Emperor" mecha crushing the Bug Race fleet like a deity.

"We were wrong." One veteran council member, who had firmly opposed cooperation with Bai E, spoke in a dry voice, "He is not a dangerous individual that we can and need to control, but the only savior humanity has against the Bug Race so far."
