"This is space warfare. It's far more complex and dangerous than aerial combat within the atmosphere."

The military district commander, originally responsible for assisting Ying Shi, spoke in a low voice from the rear.

His name was Li Funan, and he shared the same surname as Li Cheng颐. At seventy-nine years old, being assigned to assist a young man in his twenties might seem frustrating, but as the core personnel truly responsible for arranging and commanding the military formation, he finally felt a sense of relief.

"The pressure was immense before. Due to Ying Shi's Three Dragons, our Ninth Military District was targeted by five Star God Generals. Now that the Three Dragons are gone, I'm afraid your side will..." Li Funan reminded him with some worry.

"What is the mission for the area we're responsible for?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Defending against the enemy to prevent them from breaking through the three lines of the fortress defense.

We are currently in the first line of defense. I have deployed a large number of space dark mines and hidden gravity traps here to prevent Bai Xing from directly jumping and traversing.

But the problem now is that we are facing six Star God Generals and their legions from Bai Xing. They have almost broken through the first line of defense three times in a row. Without the support of Ying Shi's power, the situation is very bad," Li Funan explained.

"In the Ninth Military District, how many people are above the sixth level?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Uh... including me, a total of twelve people."

"How many are on the other side?"

"More than thirty people participated in the last battle..."

"..." Li Cheng颐 was speechless. How did you guys manage to hold them off with such a gap?

Seeming to sense his speechlessness, Li Funan quickly said,

"But our strategic Feiyi Masters of the same level can match two of them. Once the distance is widened, they are no match at all. They are only relying on complete body modifications for support. I don't know where Bai Xing gets so many resources."

"Forget it, prepare for battle. All fourth-level strategic Feiyi Masters, control the Feijian and prepare to cooperate."

Li Cheng颐's gaze saw a series of explosions appearing on the front line in the distance.

A blue meteor flew out from the enemy's formation, detonating all the Feijian and fighters engaged in close combat along the way.

The laser gun in his hand was extremely powerful and incredibly accurate. Generally speaking, a high-energy laser couldn't instantly detonate an opponent upon contact, but required continuous irradiation to generate extremely high temperatures, thereby dissolving and conducting into the opponent's outer shell, damaging the internal structure.

And this required the gunman to have extremely terrifying continuous synchronous aiming ability.

And this guy...

Had very strong marksmanship.

'Perfect, let me see what performance the engraving can display in modern warfare when facing modern weapons...'

Li Cheng颐 took a few steps forward, his body covered in grayish-white bone armor, and a pair of black wings slowly unfolded behind him. That was the Hualin Yigu armor fused with Jie Mao Feilian.

Puchi!

With an Ying Shan (Shadow Flash), he appeared out of thin air outside the command ship, and then caught a two-handed laser cannon that was ejected from behind.

The laser cannon was gray-white throughout, and the Guang Pao (Light Cannon) barrel was as long as his entire body, pointing diagonally to the lower right, with a faint red light flickering at the muzzle.

"Commander, this is the Punisher VII All-Adaptive Light Cannon. This is your first space battle, please be careful to reduce the number of times you get close to the modified bodies. Their self-destruction is quite powerful." The voice of the female officer in charge of technical weapons supply sounded in Li Cheng颐's earpiece.

"Do I have to use this?" Li Cheng颐 asked in surprise. Compared to ranged attacks, he preferred close combat, instantly cutting the opponent in two with a single knife.

"In space warfare, unless your speed is several times faster than the opponent's, forming an overwhelming advantage, close combat is a major taboo for our side, which is at a disadvantage in electronic warfare."

"Okay, I understand..." Li Cheng颐 roughly estimated the distance. Looking from here, it felt like everyone was very close, but in reality, each area of engagement was at least several thousand kilometers apart.

At this distance, even at ten times the speed of sound, 3.4 kilometers per second, it would take at least a very long time to reach another battlefield.

Some larger battlefields would take several minutes just to approach the opponent, while the opponent could hit you with a Guang Pao (Light Cannon) in an instant...

This asymmetrical huge speed gap also led to the strange situation in space warfare today.

"Unless you constantly accelerate in a straight line to reach dozens of times the speed of sound, but this can be used when traveling, but in war, the trajectory is too easy to predict, making you a target for concentrated fire," the technical officer continued to urge.

"In addition, the effective kill distance of the seventh-generation Punisher against the armor of modified bodies is 300,000 kilometers. You must enter the 300,000-kilometer range before firing to cause effective damage to the modified people, please pay attention. The closer the distance, the greater the power."

"Understood." Li Cheng颐 looked at the thing in his hand, 300,000 kilometers, tsk tsk, what a range.

He activated the auxiliary computing core on his body, and suddenly a light red light curtain appeared a few centimeters in front of his left eye, marking all the distant targets with their relative distances, camps, and approximate states.

At this time, small Feiyi (Flying Instrument) command ships also followed behind him, like a pack of wolves following a head wolf about to charge.

A total of ten command ships, but there were hundreds or thousands of Feiyi (Flying Instruments) and Feijian (Flying Ships) surrounding them. This was the strategic Feiyi Master (Flying Instrument Master). After being amplified by the command ship, their ability could simultaneously control a large number of Feijian (Flying Ships) and large warships to fight.

"Everyone follows me as the target, and constantly calibrates the direction trajectory." Li Cheng頤 raised his right hand and ordered in the communication channel.

"Yes!"

Ten voices responded together. Among them were men and women, and even an old man who sounded a little weak.

"Prepare." Li Cheng颐's black wings fluttered gently behind him.

"Charge!!!"

With a low roar, he was the first to rush out, flying towards the front battlefield, towards that blue light modified person who was rampaging and killing.

"Found it." In the chaotic battlefield.

An invisible wave swept past Li Cheng颐 and the Bai Xing (White Star) elites who were about to engage.

"Since the headquarters has made a decision, it's just an individual, leave it to me to solve."

In the void, invisible radio waves echoed and intertwined above the battlefield.

Among the countless complex radio wave collisions, this wave was not affected at all, like a drop of ink floating in the sea, strangely maintaining its purity.

The radio wave looked down from a high altitude, locked onto Li Cheng颐, and then instantly collapsed and disappeared, turning into an invisible light wave frequency band, flying towards Bai Xing (White Star).

A few seconds later.

In a certain space located between Bai Xing (White Star) and the Earth-Moon system.

Invisible waves gathered here.

These were not ordinary electromagnetic waves, nor were they light waves, but another special energy wave that ordinary people could not touch.

They did not transmit through normal space, but were like teleportation, space jumping and traversing time and time again, appearing and disappearing, gathering here.

There were a total of nine waves, which also represented the nine most powerful hackers among the Earth-Moon and Bai Xing (White Star).

They had surpassed radio waves and light wave communication, using various different paths and methods to enter a special dark energy wave level.

Using the wave level did not represent the absolute strength of hackers, but it did represent the highest technology and secrecy.

The Void Council was not a fixed area, but the highest hacker council that randomly determined its location.

The original purpose of this group of hackers was to maintain the ultimate peace between the two major camps, and to minimize internal friction for the technological development of the human community.

But now, after the fifth chairman took charge of the council, the nature of the Void Council had changed somewhat.

Its aggressiveness was much stronger than the previous sessions.

At this time in the void, in a layer that ordinary detection methods could not touch.

Nine waves converged into a single point here.

The original point was only the size of a sesame seed, but it was like a dark black ball inside.

Inside the ball, nine blurred human figures emerged out of thin air, each sitting on a throne with a completely different style.

The thrones here completely depended on the individual aesthetics of each council member.

So the nine thrones, some were full of mechanical technology style, some were crystal rough stone style, and some were directly wooden chairs with carved hollows.

The nine people were divided into two rows, and at the high end was the tallest chair, which was the chairman's position.

In the world of hackers, strength was everything, and the chairman was naturally the strongest among them.

Saruman Keratin, that was the name of this session's chairman. Many people believed that he was the strongest artificial intelligence body of Bai Xing (White Star) today, but many traces also showed that he was not that individual.

"The reason for the emergency summons is because I have received the latest news." Saruman, with a white face, was a handsome young man with short brown hair.

But in reality, his age was at least hundreds of years old, but as the strongest hacker, he could set whatever image he wanted.

"Chairman should know that the purpose of our Void Council is to maintain world stability and stable technological development. Please don't forget this premise." A female black shadow on the left said in a deep voice. She was sitting on a high-backed chair made of translucent material with countless fish swimming inside.

"Thank you for the reminder, it is for this premise that I summoned you to deal with this matter together." Saruman nodded.

With a wave of his hand, a square light curtain appeared in mid-air between the crowd, showing Li Cheng颐's face and overall image.

Black armor, dragon eyes, long hair to the waist, arms crossed, strong physique, just looking at it could feel a strong and ferocious aura emanating from him.

"The largest armed group in the Earth-Moon system today, the Destiny Garden, everyone should have heard of it. Garden's No. 2, Rainbow Candy, is still running for our new council member. Zero Point should know best about this, she is snatching your position." Saruman looked at a male black shadow on a steel seat on the right.

"Her strength is good, but she is still a little naive." Zero Point nodded slightly.

"According to reliable clues, I learned that the existence of the Destiny Garden is causing irreversible special harm to the binary stars. So from now on, suspend Rainbow Candy's council member election qualifications, and propose a Void Purification of the entire Destiny Garden." Saruman said.

"Share the evidence." A burly female black shadow at the end of the right side said coldly.

"Okay." Saruman nodded slightly.

In an instant, a large amount of data was uploaded to the council location. In just a few seconds, nine copies of the data were copied and transmitted to the minds of the other eight people at the speed of light.

"The data from Yuan Ying..." Someone frowned slightly.

"Back then, the Unity Society gave the evidence, so we should still give Yuan Ying a certain amount of trust." Saruman explained.

"The situation at that time was special, and we are not the same people now. Based on these data alone, I don't think it is enough to determine the guilt of the Destiny Garden." Someone raised an objection.

"I need to verify it with the high-level committee on the Earth-Moon side." Someone said in a deep voice.

"Rainbow Candy has extremely high talent. It is not reasonable to kill a potential seedling who may become one of us just because of this data."

There were many people who opposed, but most of them were silent.

"Since everyone has different opinions, then, let's vote." Saruman smiled.

Half a minute later...

The voting results were out.

Five votes in favor, three votes against, and one abstention.

At the same time, the latest verified information also appeared. Since the emergence of the Destiny Garden, the overall frequency of dead angles began to decrease, but the appearance of high-difficulty dead angles became more and more frequent.

In some places, even the phenomenon of dead angle merging and dead angle expansion began to appear.

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, the extermination order for the Destiny Garden is officially launched." Saruman smiled and looked around at everyone.

"Is there anyone else who objects?"

No one spoke. The evidence was conclusive, and it was still verified evidence, which made the opposing council members speechless.

"Then you can all now..."

"I object!!"

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out in the entire council sphere.

A brand new wave, not knowing when it entered here, condensed a black human figure on the aisle between the two rows of seats.

"You?" Saruman was slightly stunned. Looking at the other party.

Not only him, but the surrounding council members also stirred slightly, with a large amount of data flowing in disorder. Everyone's eyes were focused on the newly entered female figure.
