Chapter 291: Chapter 55: Tang Yunxuan: The Supreme Lord Is Actually My Brother Old Yu!? (Part 2)

To this day.

He still hadn’t revealed the existence of the Carol Fleet to Yin Yao and the others.

And also...

The Carol Fleet was made up of five million players from Blue Star.

Among them, not only was his best buddy Old Tang, but also friends and family of Yin Yao and the others.

For example...

Yin Yao’s father, Yin Zhenzhong, should also be in the fleet—if nothing unexpected happened.

It’s just that Yu Jin had no idea what position Yin Zhenzhong held in the fleet now—Commander? Squad Leader? Or just a Team Member?

There was no mention of any of this in Carol’s communications.

Boom—

Rumble—!

While everyone was talking,

The S-1 Fortress where Carol was had already arrived right in front of Dawn Fortress.

Besides that,

The other two Super Large Fortresses, S-2 and S-3, ten or so Medium-sized Fortresses like Y-01, the Star-Destroyer Fleet Group, the Sigma Mecha Group, and the Decomposition Emitter protected at the center by the Fortress Fleet, had all arrived before Dawn Fortress as well.

"Hiss—"

"That fleet, those mechas, looking kinda fierce, huh?"

Chen Gang and the others were as tense as facing a deadly enemy.

But Yu Jin had already opened a communication channel.

[Beep—]

[Communication channel established!]

[Join immediately?]

The crisp mechanical voice echoed through the Tower of the Sky.

"Join."

Yu Jin nodded calmly.

As soon as he spoke,

Swoosh—

A huge projection screen appeared in midair before him.

On the screen, several smaller boxes appeared.

Each box corresponded to an entity that had joined the communication channel.

At this moment,

The view from the Tower of the Sky where Yu Jin was appeared in the topmost—and largest—box.

The rest of the boxes were still showing static for now.

"Eh?"

Yin Yao and the others saw this and were stunned once again.

[Beep—]

[Carol has joined!]

[Commander under Carol has joined!]

[...]

One crisp notification after another sounded out.

The boxes on the projection screen started filling up one by one.

Yu Jin’s eyes landed on the second box.

There, he saw a handsome and spirited woman’s face.

It was none other than Carol Yalikosis herself.

This was the Commander he had gotten from the Tier Eleven Widow blind box. During the time he hadn’t been logged into the Star System Wasteland, she had done plenty for him.

Forget everything else, the fact that she served as his airdrop coordinate alone was proof enough of her value.

At this moment,

On screen,

Carol’s face was flushed with excitement and devotion.

"Supreme Lord!"

"Carol has finally awaited your arrival!"

She pretty much shouted those two sentences.

As soon as she finished,

She was already down on one knee, one hand over her chest—a gesture of highest respect in her Salsa culture.

"Huh?"

Carol’s words made Yu Jin smile, but they left Yin Yao and the others utterly blank.

Especially...

Jiang Haichuan and the others, who thought the comm channel was for "persuading surrender", now had eyes wide as saucers and held their breath.

This twist, this "art style"...

So it turned out that the so-called S-1 Super Large Fortress’s Commander was one of their own?

"Supreme Lord!"

"We welcome your arrival!"

Following Carol, more than a dozen voices sounded on the projection.

"They’re the Commanders of the Fortress Fleets like Y-01!"

"Lord!"

Carol, bowing her head, didn’t forget to introduce them to Yu Jin.

"I know."

The smile on Yu Jin’s face grew even wider at this moment.

Because—

He saw a face in the screen more familiar than anything.

It was the comm feed from the Y-03 Fortress Commander.

In the feed,

Tang Yunxuan had his head lowered, kneeling on one knee, one hand over his chest, making the same salute as Carol.

Maybe Carol had instructed them beforehand to show respect for "the Supreme Lord"—Tang Yunxuan and all the other Commanders kept their eyes to the ground, none daring to look up at Yu Jin on the main screen.

But...

Even if they didn’t dare look at Yu Jin, Yin Yao and the others on his side could see everything clearly.

"WTF!?"

"Ol—Old Tang?"

Chen Gang practically screamed at the top of his lungs.

As Yu Jin’s dorm mate, Chen Gang was more than familiar with his best bro Tang Yunxuan.

That’s why—even with only half of Tang Yunxuan’s face showing, Chen Gang spotted him in an instant.

"F-Father..."

In the Tower of the Sky, besides Chen Gang, the most shocked person was Yin Yao.

At this point, she couldn’t say a word.

Her eyes were glued to the Y-02 Commander’s comm feed.

On screen, a square-faced middle-aged man looked solemn, kneeling on one knee.

That was Yin Zhenzhong, the Y-02 Fortress Commander—her biological father!

Jiang Haichuan recognized Yin Zhenzhong as well.

"Sis—sis’s husband?!"

Jiang Haichuan was just dumbfounded.

Never in a million years did he think he’d run into his own brother-in-law here, after leaving the Star Realm!

And even...

From the looks of it, his brother-in-law had even become a subordinate of Yu Jin’s.

Or as they put it, one of "the Supreme Lord’s" men.

The moment Chen Gang, Yin Yao, and Jiang Haichuan all lost their composure,

In the starry sky...

Inside Y-02 and Y-03 Fortresses,

Tang Yunxuan and Yin Zhenzhong, who’d been lowering their heads anxiously, were now completely shaken!

"Th-this voice..."

Tang Yunxuan’s body trembled slightly.

He’d recognized Chen Gang’s voice.

That shout of "Old Tang" left no doubt.

But...

Why would Chen Gang’s voice appear in the Supreme Lord’s comm channel?

Tang Yunxuan couldn’t figure it out, but he was completely shocked!

If Carol hadn’t repeatedly told them and unless given permission to do so, they must never look up at the Lord, Tang Yunxuan would have killed to look up right now and see what was actually going on!

On the other side,

Inside Y-02 Fortress,

Yin Zhenzhong’s reaction was even stronger than Tang Yunxuan’s.

This usually stable Fortress Commander, who’d received much praise from Carol, finally couldn’t hold back when he heard his daughter’s voice.

For the first time ever,

He wanted to break Carol’s rule—to sneak a look up at the comm screen to see what on earth was going on...

"Hm?"

In the Tower of the Sky, Yu Jin raised an eyebrow as he watched the two’s reactions.

"Why don’t you look up? Won’t you look at me?"

As soon as Yu Jin finished,

Carol spoke up respectfully:

"Without permission, none of us dare glance at the Lord’s exalted face!"

Yu Jin heard that, put a hand to his forehead helplessly.

"Raise your heads."

He spoke helplessly.

As soon as he spoke—

Swoosh—

Swoosh swoosh—

On the projected screen, Tang Yunxuan and Yin Zhenzhong whipped their heads up at nearly the speed of light.

In just an instant,

Both men’s eyes widened, their minds a total blank!

Tang Yunxuan saw—not Chen Gang, but Yu Jin standing in front of Chen Gang!

Yin Zhenzhong saw—not Yin Yao, but Yu Jin standing before Yin Yao!

In the biggest box on the projection, symbolizing the highest status, the person standing dead center at the front was Yu Jin!

And the words "Raise your head" just now had come from Yu Jin as well!

"L-Lord?"

Tang Yunxuan was stuttering now.

No matter how hard he thought about it...

The Supreme Lord that Carol considered almost a god was his best bro Yu Jin!

"Long time no see, Old Tang."

Yu Jin replied with a smile.

As he said this,

Tang Yunxuan was so choked up he couldn’t speak at all.

Even Carol, after hearing the conversation between the two, widened her eyes and was stunned in place.

Boom—

Rumble—!

The reunion didn’t last long.

The rumble of Fortress Fleets echoed through the entire starry sky.

But then...

High-tier Civilization Forces like Closter had already arrived.

From all directions, they surrounded Dawn Fortress.

They even...

Had Carol’s Fortress Fleet surrounded inside the encirclement as well.

"Wow, buzzkill."

Yu Jin turned to look at the countless large and small fortresses in the starry sky, letting out a soft sigh.

As soon as he finished,

Boom—

Rumble—!

In the void,

something even louder than the arrival of a hundred Super Large Fortresses shook the entire place.

Three gigantic phantoms, even larger than Dawn Fortress, slowly appeared out of the void.

And these three phantoms...

turned the hundreds and thousands of Closter and other civilization’s fortresses surrounding Dawn Fortress into the ones that were encircled!
