Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1561: Insider

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the command hall of the Black Tornado.

An imperial general ignored etiquette and shouted at Allen, "Your Majesty, radar has detected an energy response. It's at the highest level!"

Ellen's pupils shrank. "Can you avoid it?"

"It's too late. Judging from the speed, we'll hit it in ten seconds. Right now, we can only activate the defensive barrier and prepare for the main cannon's attack." The general said in a low voice, "Just in case, Your Majesty, please be prepared for an emergency evacuation at any time."

He gestured for a soldier to enter the order. Alan's right armrest opened a screen with a red light key flashing on it. The general said, "That's an emergency escape device. After pressing it, it will eject His Majesty from a ship in three seconds."

"Look ahead!" The shouts of the soldiers rang out in the command hall.

Alan and the general looked together, and a bright red light shone from the porthole in front of the hall. Blood-colored light was almost everywhere in his field of vision. Judging from this scale, it would be a terrifying energy torrent. It might be powerful enough to explode a planet! Instantly, even Alan sucked in a breath of cold air. At this moment, the Storm's main cannon shot out two beams of particles. However, the beam that could normally pierce through the main ship with a single cannon paled in front of this energy torrent. If the energy torrent was a raging river of rage, then the two particle beams were at best streams of water that flowed at a faster speed. At the same time, the general shouted, "Hurry up, Your Majesty!"

Alan pressed the red button on the armrest screen and his body sank. With his reaction, he could only see that the entire command hall was dyed in a bloody light, and then his line of sight was the dark passageway of descent. Allen landed at the bottom of the downhill passageway with his seat. The hatch door immediately closed and a flashing red light lit up in the sealed space. Alan suddenly felt a violent shake. When he regained his senses, he could already see the bottom of the Black Tornado and the magnificent energy torrent that was like a river of stars outside the window of the escaping ship.

The energy torrent unhesitatingly bounced off the Storm's main cannon beam and swept through the fleet. The Black Tornado instantly shattered and split apart in a bright red light. Countless fireballs rose up from the ship's hull and were gradually engulfed in the blood-colored rainbow belt. As for the other warships escorting it, they didn't even have time to release the explosive flames before being blasted into ashes by the torrent of energy. Although Allen had left the Storm, he still hadn't left the energy torrent's range. Even the Storm had vanished from this level of energy torrent, let alone a small escape pod. Alan's heart skipped a beat, and a tyrannical might immediately rose from the escape cabin. The surface of the escape ship was covered with a layer of void secret flames. The secret flame was brushed past by the blood-colored rainbow. The escape ship was immediately bounced off, flying in the opposite direction of Agares like a meteor. After flying for countless kilometers, the layer of secret flame gradually dimmed down. The escape pod also stopped and floated in the universe.

Through the porthole, Alan saw that the rainbow belt had already disappeared into the depths of the universe, passing through space not far from Agares. As for the location of the fleet, only the wreckage of a few starships floated there. The torrent was exceptionally powerful. Once it hit Agares, the planet would probably be destroyed.

Such a terrifying space weapon!

The alarm in the escape cabin was still sounding. Alan opened the control panel and activated the self-inspection procedure in the escape cabin. Only then did the alarm finally stop. Alan closed his eyes. In the Yordon Domain, only one Kidd could create a space weapon of this level. Moreover, the torrent was coming from where Omiska was. In other words, Omiska was able to fire at the fleet over such a long distance without diminishing its power. This allowed Allen to gain a new understanding of the Kidds' space weapons.

From the looks of it, the Kidds had no intention of negotiating with him at all. Instead, they intended to intercept him halfway. Thinking of this, Alan asked again. One had to know that Omiska was far away from the fleet. To be able to accurately attack the fleet from such a distance, one needed the exact coordinates of the fleet. Normally, to provide accurate coordinates for a space weapon, the scouting machine would have to locate the fleet nearby and transmit the coordinates back. However, the fleet did not discover any scouting machines before the energy torrent appeared.

"So apart from the possibility of scouting machines, there is only one other possibility. Did someone in the empire provide the coordinates to the Kidds?"

Alan punched the armrest and scolded, "Damn it." At this time, the self-examination of Wisdom Brain had already ended. Although the escape ship was not engulfed by the energy torrent under the protection of Alan's secret flames, it was still seriously damaged. In addition to the damage to communications equipment, the propellers were also inoperable, which meant that Allen was trapped in the escape pod and unable to move. He sighed. Right now, he could only wait for the empire to send out a search and rescue team. After returning to Demoic Ring City, we will investigate the mole thoroughly before settling accounts with the Kidds.

In Demoic Ring City, in the mansion once known as the Blood Nest, Lamo looked at the screen in front of him. On the screen was the scene of the energy torrent engulfing the fleet. There were a few people sitting beside Lamo, including the Patriarchs of the Red Flame and Black Ice Families. Looking at the blood-colored rainbow belt that instantly engulfed the fleet, Bai Luo opened his mouth wide, while Ge Long's expression was gloomy as he looked at the Hidden Demon General from time to time.

Ramo turned off the screen and stood up and smiled at the two Patriarchs. "See, gentlemen. I have followed the agreement that our Lord Allen has turned into dust in the universe and will never come back."

"Lord Lamar, what's with those space weapons? Are they your secret weapons?"

Ramo laughed and flicked his claws, "Lord Grom, you should know that there are some things that you should not take too seriously. I'm sorry, but I can't disclose the matter of space weapons to the two of you because it's a secret matter. And more importantly, don't you think it's time to act?"

'"Devlin has been transferred to Smelt City. Ganli said he was on my side early in the morning. As for the other generals, they are also in various parts of the empire. Apart from the few trusted aides left behind by His Majesty, there is no strength in the Imperial Capital to contend against you. If you do not act now, you will probably miss out on the throne." '"At least I don't think Dobia will be so calm," Lamar laughed dryly. "What do you think, my lords?"

Glen stood up and nodded, "General Lamar is right. We shouldn't waste our time on a space weapon. Then let's create a new future together!"

"It is indeed a brand new future, but unfortunately, I have no intention of giving you tickets to the door leading to the future," Ramo smiled as he watched the two Patriarchs leave.
