My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 388 - 314: Counterattack on Rongdu
In truth, whether Xue Dili and other members of the Interstellar Corps who completed their tasks came to support the surface, made no difference anymore.
Once 5332 needed just a word, a segment, to conjure up a billion Fearless Mechas, especially when all the Mechanical Soldiers started donning nearly ten thousand tons of armor.
Although measuring them with the Magic Side’s power might be biased, when dealing with insects, they were at least Tier Four high-level beings and could rely on coordination and immense firepower to forcefully sacrifice hundreds or thousands of Mechas to bury Tier Five Insect Race War Soldiers.
The Insect Race might have felt cursed today, seeing their forces being overwhelmed by the enemy’s sheer force of numbers for the first time.
Hence, after executing the plan for the Ninth Apostle, the majority of the Interstellar Corps members could free their hands to support the Giant Beast Star below.
Thus, the swarms that couldn’t pass the walls formed by the Fearless Mechas continued to suffer indescribable heavy damage.
When Xue Dili and the young general descended onto this planet, the situation was already settled; their presence wouldn’t affect the battle on this side at all.
Just looking at the city turned into scorched earth, Xue Dili fell silent.
"I’ll go help first, although my abilities aren’t particularly useful in such mass battlefields, I might be able to save a few people." The young general finished speaking and disappeared instantly, using Space Transmission to leave.
Xue Dili knew the front lines didn’t need him, who was merely at a quasi-Tier Four strength, and began silently searching for survivors among the ruins.
Cursed Blood transformed into a Bloodhound, desperately searching for life in the rubble. The nearest Bloodhound reported back, and Xue Dili rushed over immediately, yet upon arrival, he only found the bodies of a man and a woman collapsed onto the artillery’s position.
They had committed suicide, shooting themselves, holding each other’s hands, and despairingly ending their lives at this place.
They bore no signs of Giant Beast Transformation, nor did they have the Giant Beast Serum. They seemed to be military academy students who had just joined the artillery unit, continuously performing their duties atop this building.
However, they ran out of ammunition, and the supply lines from the rear had been cut off so reinforcements couldn’t keep up, while the insect swarm was likely nearby.
Thus, they seemed to wish to die as humans in this building, with the young couple holding hands and committing suicide.
Moreover, they appeared to have ended their lives merely an hour ago, just before the 5332 support arrived.
This young couple died before dawn.
"Let’s find others..." Xue Dili instructed the Bloodhound formed from Cursed Blood.
The Bloodhound disappeared instantly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Soon, more and more Bloodhounds returned with messages, yet to Xue Dili’s shock, all were corpses, not a single living person...
Some were human bodies, some seemed to have half-transformed into insects but chose suicide before completely changing, and others were fragmented, with the Bloodhounds unable to find complete remains.
Xue Dili silently gathered up one corpse after another.
He wanted to find survivors, no matter who they were, as long as they were still breathing, because as long as they lived, he could forcefully rely on Cursed Blood to transfer their injuries onto himself.
But after over ten minutes, neither he nor the Bloodhounds encountered a single living person.
The distant battlefield was engulfed in flames, with various Techniques revealing their effects, yet looking at the ruined city, Xue Dili suddenly felt unsure of what he should do, or could still do.
Suddenly, a Bloodhound relayed an urgent message; it had found living people!
He hurried over, only to find two familiar children.
Ronald... and Cloud Star...
At that moment, Cloud Star was completely unconscious, seemingly barely breathing, while Ronald’s condition was dire as well. His muscles appeared melted, his consciousness in a semi-conscious state, and seeing Xue Dili, he seemed to think it was a dream, barely able to murmur, "Pro...fessor..."
Xue Dili quickly moved to Cloud Star’s side, where Cursed Blood probed in, discovering that Cloud Star’s heart had already stopped; during the battle, he had used the Super Beast Serum for the third time, collapsing his heart and organs from the massive strain.
Luckily, though, he had not yet experienced brain death.
Without a word, Xue Dili used Cursed Blood, instantly transferring the pain of muscle dissolution and organ overload onto himself.
Cloud Star was pulled back from the brink of death but, due to prolonged oxygen deprivation, fell into a deep sleep.
Ronald was slightly better off; at least he could still manage a few words, and after Xue Dili aided his recovery with Cursed Blood, he too fell into a deep slumber.
"Sorry, I’m late..." Xue Dili said, surveying the almost entirely leveled city, there should still be more survivors here, there must be...
...
As the sun set, it seemed the battle had concluded.
In space, the Mother Empress of the insect swarm finally perished amidst the continuously appearing Fearless Mechas, although to kill the Mother Empress, the Scorched Earth Mechanized Soldiers within the Fearless Mechas lost nearly ten thousand units of Mechanical Soldiers.
Nonetheless, the swarm was ultimately drowned by the vast, unending army of Mechanical Soldiers.
In the end, they turned into cosmic dust within the sea of fire, with bodies and ash incinerated by Scorched Earth Flamethrowers at nearly ten thousand degrees.
