Free Web NovelChapter 1606: Chapter 1606: Do Not Reply
The United Faction, after years of patience and perseverance, finally caught the Main War Faction off guard and made a stunning strike.
They swiftly captured the central city, severing communications between various cities. Meanwhile, they were both brash and meticulous, using magic to shield themselves from the Main War Faction’s surveillance, detecting enemy movements and maneuvering flexibly.
In the areas they captured, after eliminating the leaders who supported the Main War Faction, the United Faction would relentlessly promote their thoughts and ideals, disparaging and distorting Lucaism in various ways, pulling the masses towards their side.
If some people remained clear-headed, the United Faction would treat them differently based on their actions:
If these people did nothing, then it was best, they wouldn’t face any punishment; but if they dared to openly oppose the United Faction or secretly ally with the underground forces of the Main War Faction, they would be arrested under various pretexts for extended interrogation and detention.
In the early stages of chaos, many had not undergone a complete transformation and remained in human form.
Only those who were conscripted and reviewed could proceed to the next stage of transformation, gaining extraordinary strength.
The Asian Soldiers possessed by the United Faction were no weaker than those of the Main War Faction, each capable of breaking through the blockade of hundreds, leaving them utterly devastated.
Faced with strengthened and transformed subhumans, even if the populace disagreed with the United Faction, they could not resist and could only submit, hoping the Main War Faction would suppress the chaos once again.
Alas, the United Faction moved with unstoppable momentum.
Tens or hundreds of subhumans could completely control a city, allowing the United Faction to attack the next city without hesitation.
If they encountered a counterattack from the Main War Faction, the subhumans left behind only needed to maneuver around them.
As long as the Main War Faction couldn’t instantly annihilate the defenders, the situation favored the United Faction.
Within just three months, the United Faction occupied nearly half of the world.
The United Faction did not grow complacent, as they received news through informants that the Refuge Planet was preparing to reinforce the Main War Faction.
Last time, if not for the reinforcement from the Refuge Planet, they would have already defeated the Main War Faction and opened up a new world.
The United Faction was prepared for the Refuge Planet’s reinforcement actions.
Over the past thirty years, they infiltrated the Refuge Planet using Luka Society’s convenience, received formal transformations on the Refuge Planet, becoming subhumans with great strength.
Some among them, through their capabilities, rose to high ranks in the forces, earning the trust of countless people.
This laid a solid foundation for the United Faction to destroy the [Folding Jump] device.
Once the support troops on the Refuge Planet gathered, spies on the Refuge Planet and United Faction on the Mother Star worked inside and out, destroying the [Folding Jump] device right before the support troops’ eyes.
The scheduled reinforcement from the Refuge Planet was completely cut off.
Only then did the Main War Faction realize the gravity of the situation.
They made contact with leaders on the Refuge Planet, urgently requesting them to build enormous interstellar battleships to risk crossing the magic barrier to swiftly reinforce them.
Although the Refuge Planet developed independently for years, their inherent Luca’s Will remained largely unchanged.
Upon receiving the command, the leaders of the Refuge Planet immediately mobilized the entire planet’s people to build various factories, using the mined resources from the Refuge Planet, combined with various magic technologies, to construct gigantic battleships.
The Main War Faction, unable to gain the upper hand on the frontline, had to battle while retreating, constructing the final fortress on the open sea with various huge machines.
They deployed some Sea-dwelling Transformed Subhumans from the Sea Mother as temporary forces.
The Sea-dwelling Transformed Subhumans within the Sea Mother were transformed from the souls and bodies of fallen soldiers, utilizing the most advanced transformation technology of that era.
Except for a few researchers, others were undergoing long transformations.
The length of the transformation directly determined their strength; given enough time, the strongest among them could possess abilities comparable to the Twelve Demons.
Prematurely waking them was indeed out of desperation.
These semi-finished products, though not comparable to the real deal, had abilities perfectly suited for ocean warfare.
If necessary, the enormous fortress must sink to the sea bottom, where the Sea-dwelling Species would ensure their safety.
If they could wait for the Neighboring Star’s support to arrive, there was still hope.
The Main War Faction endured while growing numb to each failure and loss of strategic strongholds.
After waiting endlessly, they finally saw their hope.
Enormous interstellar battleships pierced through the dense clouds built with magic power, preparing to change the offensive.
Unexpectedly, the United Faction saw through all the actions of the interstellar battleships.
The battleships passing through the barrier had not yet displayed their true strength, but were infiltrated by computer viruses, losing control.
Two battleships crashed during emergency landings, while others, though resolving the issues, fared no better; most fell into a trap, forced into battles where hopes were dim.
The United Faction triumphed once again.
The Refuge Planet suffered heavy losses, making further intervention on the Mother Star impossible in the short term.
Even if they wanted to intervene again, the Goddess believers remaining on the Refuge Planet would obstruct them in every way.
A dozen or so years later, the Main War Faction sustained its forces on a few isolated islands in despair, trapped like fish in a barrel.
Their defeat was inevitable.
Making matters worse, riots erupted on the Refuge Planet.
Seeing the plan succeed, spies hidden on Mars revealed themselves, directly beginning to destroy the industrial systems on the Refuge Planet and erase all research data.
The residents of the Refuge Planet were deeply dissatisfied with the spies’ actions, spontaneously forming various punitive organizations.
Most spies, therefore, couldn’t return to their Mother Star.
Amidst various complicated pieces of information, one message traversed the distance between two planets, reaching the Main War Faction’s final fortress:
"That plan is feasible, but to achieve it, it may take a very long time.
The situation here is not optimistic, and we will completely go into stealth.
Rest assured, that existence will never forget its mission.
The only question now is, I don’t need to say it, you already know.
Through the vicissitudes of life, none can predict who will dominate the future.
But trust me, he will certainly control the future.
Do not reply! Do not reply! Do not reply!"
The message ended with "Do not reply!" repeated three times.
The United Faction also intercepted this message; though they understood each word, the collective meaning eluded them.
Even if they found the source of this message, they couldn’t instantly build huge battleships to head to the Refuge Planet.
Another three months passed, and the United Faction proposed surrender to the Main War Faction, trapped in the fortress.
The Main War Faction, recognizing their inferiority, dispersed the Sea-dwelling Species and sunk the fortress along with all Main War Faction members into the sea.
As for whether they transformed into Sea-dwelling Species, no one cared.
The United Faction celebrated with songs and dances, reveling in their great victory.
