Wasteland's Only King
Chapter 285 - 52: Arthur Ophelia! Airdrop Shock! Promotion to Super Large Fortress! (2)
And it is, indeed, the Dawn Fortress that has now reached ’medium-sized’ level.
Vmmm——
Tower of the Sky, tower top.
On a luxurious fifty-meter bed, Yu Jin slowly awakened.
He took off his helmet and looked around.
The city lord’s private master bedroom was empty; the Tao Naimu Xiang sisters, following orders, hadn’t disturbed him during this time.
"Who knows how many days have passed since this landing?"
"Forget it, let’s claim the reward first."
"I’ve air-dropped for Carol several times, but this is the first time I drop for myself, and I’m actually kinda excited?"
...
...
Dawn Fortress.
After evolving into a medium-sized fortress, the scale of the Dawn Fortress is now ten times bigger than before.
The hundred million subordinates, who were nearly at the carrying limit and felt a bit crowded before, now seem sparse inside the medium-sized fortress.
Right now.
On the vast Martial Arts Plaza where even an Interstellar Battleship can land.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of subordinates are gathered here.
Most of them have closed their eyes, sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a Crystal in their hands.
Crystal munching is a compulsory course for Dawn Fortress subordinates.
Group crystal munching has been an unwritten tradition since the Dawn City days.
"It’s been a month."
"Wonder how long the president’s retreat will last this time..."
At the front of the plaza, Yin Yao is standing in midair, overlooking the many subordinates below, immersed in crystal munching and leveling up.
Beside her, Naiya pouts and mutters to herself:
"Respected Lord City Lord hasn’t injected energy into Naiya yet..."
"This time, when Lord City Lord returns, no matter what, I want to take that step!"
"No matter how big, how painful..."
Yin Yao heard Naiya’s muttering, her delicate face inexplicably blushing.
She remembered the scene when she was injected with energy...
BOOM——!
Suddenly.
A pillar of light bursts skyward from Martial Arts Plaza.
"Hmm?"
"Someone broke through again?"
Yin Yao and Naiya’s attention was drawn to the light pillar.
The source of the pillar is a very youthful-looking boy.
"Ye Ye?"
Yin Yao was slightly stunned.
She still had an impression of this boy.
"Eh?"
"How did he break through three tiers at once?"
"Directly from Tier Eight to Tier Eleven?"
"What the hell! He’s almost catching up to me!"
Naiya stared at Ye Ye, her watery eyes suddenly wide open.
Yin Yao was also stunned.
"This..."
Yin Yao was speechless.
BOOM——
BOOM BOOM——!
Following Ye Ye.
Light pillars shot up one after another from the Martial Arts Plaza.
In just a few moments.
The entire plaza was completely enveloped by pillars of light!
Nearly ten million subordinates—all of them had pillars bursting from their bodies, symbols of breakthrough!
Collective breakthrough!
Unprecedented collective breakthrough!
And—not only the Martial Arts Plaza.
Everywhere in the Dawn Fortress, whether inside a building or out on the streets, even people just strolling down the avenue found their body energy surging without warning!
"Fuck?"
"I broke through?"
"Wait... I just broke through to Tier Seven yesterday, how am I Tier Nine now?"
"Mom! I’m Tier Eight!"
"..."
All over the Dawn Fortress, screams, cheers, shouts—a roaring boil.
At the front of the plaza.
Yin Yao and Naiya watched the scene, minds completely blank.
"President?"
"Did the president finish retreat?"
Yin Yao’s lines were almost instinctive.
Just as the words landed—
BOOM——!
The attribute energy inside her body skyrocketed!
The dazzling light pillar nearly pierced through the fortress’s energy shield!
BOOM——!
Naiya too.
Their aura soared, visibly rising to the eye.
Tier Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen...
Tier Fifteen!
In a blink.
The two of them broke through three tiers together, becoming Tier Fifteen Evolvers!
WHOOSH——
WHOOSH WHOOSH——!
In the sky, streaks of radiant light swept by.
Those streaks of light—are all High-tier Evolvers from the Dawn Fortress.
BOOM BOOM——!
Each radiates pillar of light from their bodies as well.
"Hahaha!"
"I did it! Brother Gang, I did it!"
Chen Gang laughed at the sky, electric arcs crackling on his body.
He’d just recently broken through Tier Twelve—now, two more tiers, stepped into Tier Fourteen!
The rest of Dawn Fortress management—
Neil, Jiang Haichuan, Wang Yunpeng, Yu Fei, Old Cui...
All broke through right there.
The lowest gained one tier.
The highest broke through three tiers.
"Eh?"
Old Yu grinned foolishly at the sky.
Now, he’s also a powerful Tier Ten Evolver!
"President!"
"Definitely another gift from the president!"
Yin Yao’s aura had finally calmed down.
She sensed the surging energy in her body—so much more than before—her delicate frame quivering lightly.
"Ah-leh?"
"Lord City Lord is back?"
Hearing Yin Yao, Naiya came to her senses from the shock of breakthrough.
She opened her big watery eyes, her chubby baby face blushing even harder for some reason.
"My Lord!"
Neil, at some unknown moment, had switched into her Mecha form.
This is her ritual for her Master—welcoming his arrival or return in her most elegant form.
"Lord!"
"Loyalty~!"
Everywhere in the fortress.
Hundreds of millions of subordinates, new and old alike, all shouted at the top of their lungs.
They aren’t fools, they immediately got the same idea as Yin Yao—
This must be the Lord’s doing!
Only he wields such power—making hundreds of millions break through out of nowhere!
Vmmm——
Special waves spread out.
Countless gazes looked to the top of the Tower of the Sky.
But...
Yu Jin did not appear.
Instead, the Dawn Fortress, originally speeding through the nebula, now slowed and came to a stop.
VMMM——!
The waves rose again.
This time, the source was outside the Dawn Fortress.
"That’s..."
All eyes were drawn away.
Yin Yao, Naiya, and the hundreds of millions of subordinates saw—
The dark nebula outside the fortress began violently surging.
BOOM——
RUMBLE——!
Explosions so loud they shook eardrums.
Alongside the blasts, the cosmic space outside the fortress began collapsing piece by piece!
Nebula, matter, even the void itself, kept getting annihilated.
Within the endless nothingness, emerged vague shadows of immense, impossibly huge objects!
Three giant shadows, scattered in three directions from the fortress.
"Gulp——!"
Some inside just looking at these shadows started subconsciously gulping hard.
The pressure is terrifying!
As powerful as the Dawn Fortress is, it feels so tiny before them...
Time passed slowly.
Eyes didn’t waver for a moment.
Finally...
The three shadows condensed, revealing their true forms.
"Is that..."
"An Interstellar Battleship?"
"A ship dozens of times bigger than the Dawn Fortress?"
"Holy shit!"
Countless people cried out.
What appeared now was Yu Jin’s purchase—a 1.5 billion Source Points "air-drop": the Odin Space Air Carrier.
Level IV Civilization’s Star Domain Warships, delivered to the Low Dimension at this moment.
Though...
After dropping to a lower dimension, all the warship’s Values got slashed hard.
But even slashed Values—in the Star System Wasteland Server—are like a dragon in a koi pond!
"No, not just those!"
"There’s more!"
The shock and cries wouldn’t stop.
Behind the three Odin Space Air Carriers, an even larger, more terrifying shadow was condensing.
RUMBLE——!
The void thundered, shaking the entire P-8808 Star Realm!
And now, the monster finally appeared.
Its scale and size can’t be described by normal standards.
This is what Yu Jin spent 500 million Source Points on—the original price was 50 billion—a Star Domain Mother Ship!
"This..."
"Is this the Lord’s work too?"
The Star Domain Mother Ship appearing after Odin, made the hundreds of millions in the fortress tremble with unease.
They know their Lord is powerful.
But...
This mother ship is way too terrifying!
It doesn’t even feel like a thing from this starry sky!
If this mother ship was an enemy...
RUMBLE——!
Before anyone could think further—
The ground under their feet—the Dawn Fortress—suddenly started shaking violently.
"From today——"
"Promoting to Super Large Dawn Fortress!"
Yu Jin’s voice comes from the top of the Tower of the Sky, floating across the whole fortress...
