Chapter 444 Put aside prejudices and fight against foreign enemies together!
After the initial shock, everyone followed Xiao to the deepest part of the base.
There is a huge, transparent tank filled with a special liquid that emits a faint glow.
Countless intricate pipes connect to the water tank, while a large computer nearby is running at full speed.
"Wow, that's amazing! There's such incredible equipment underground!"
Captain Kido looked at the sophisticated instruments and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Yes, Xiao and the others have been doing research here."
Truth pointed to the huge water tank and explained:
"This is the most important experimental setup in this research facility."
"What kind of experiment are you conducting here?"
Musashi asked curiously.
"Life. An experiment of life."
Xiao looked at the sink, her eyes sparkling with longing for the future.
"What this world lacks is a vast ocean capable of nurturing life. We want to create the source of life here."
Just then, a soft and sacred light suddenly shone from inside the water tank.
The light condensed and swirled in the water, as if some miracle was about to be born.
"What was that light just now?"
Musashi approached in surprise.
"That is the origin of artificially created life."
The voice of truth carried a hint of helplessness.
Sure enough, the light that symbolized life lasted for less than three seconds before it burst and disappeared silently in the water like a fragile soap bubble.
"The data on science and technology should be without any problems..." Xiao lowered her head, her tone filled with frustration.
"But no matter how many experiments were conducted, that glimmer of life always vanished in an instant."
[Want to create life artificially? That's a pretty audacious idea.]
[The main issue is that in your worldview, anything man-made is generally considered bad, even though this was technically created by aliens! Aliens are people too!]
The birth of life is the most complex miracle in the universe; it cannot be easily replicated.
[It seems something crucial is missing; success isn't simply a matter of having correct data.]
Was the last one conceived named Agul?
Just as everyone was deep in thought, the base's alarm suddenly blared out.
"Long-range radar has detected a group of Scobis!"
A dense cluster of red dots appeared on the large screen, moving across the star map at an astonishing speed.
"They will arrive on Earth in seven days!"
"They've finally arrived."
Captain Kido immediately pressed for answers:
"Is it true? You have a way to fight against the Skobis Legion?"
Truth nodded and quickly typed on the keyboard to bring up a drawing:
"Yes, using K2 radio waves."
"They used Regga's unique telecommunications signals to develop a powerful energy electromagnetic shield, also known as the K2 radio wave shield."
Given the urgency of the situation, Captain Kido immediately reported the information to SRC headquarters.
The scene shifts to the highest-level conference room at the SRC Space Development Center, where the atmosphere is extremely tense.
Several high-ranking officers of the defense force sat at the long conference table, exuding an air of authority despite their lack of anger.
The female officer sitting on the left had short, neat hair and sharp eyes.
The officer in the middle was burly, with a furrowed brow, exuding an air of authority.
The officer on the right wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a cold and cautious expression.
The moment these three actors appeared, the live chat exploded with wild excitement.
[Holy crap! Captain Megumi Kijima!]
[Isn't that Captain Hibiki?! Oh my god!]
[Incredible! It's still the same old actors using new techniques!]
Do you understand the concept of parallel universes and their counterparts?
[That old fox Gu has managed to get all the old actors from the previous production crew back for cameo appearances!]
[Although it's not the same character, it's the same actor! You old rascal Gu knows how to appreciate nostalgia!]
The female officer, with her neat short hair, placed her hands on the table, her sharp gaze fixed on Kido:
"Captain Kido, how can you be so sure that the aliens in the Blue Zone won't invade us?"
Captain Kido stood ramrod straight and loudly reported to his superior:
"Their wish is to rebuild their destroyed homeland!"
"Those cosmic monsters came to fight off aliens in the underwater world!"
"If we let the aliens stay, they will definitely cause harm to Earth." The burly officer interrupted him coldly, his tone firm.
Captain Kido was taken aback:
"You mean...you want them to leave Earth?"
"Is there no possibility for humanity to cooperate with them?"
Kido retorted, unwilling to accept the situation.
"You mean, we should fight alongside those unknown aliens to defeat Scobis?"
An officer, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Don't forget, they're aliens!"
"What if they betray us?"
The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
The officer in the center pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Of course, we also need to build our own defense system, that goes without saying."
"However, at the same time, we can try to communicate with them first."
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping firmly across the conference room:
"Humans cannot give up the opportunity to communicate with rational beings."
The defense forces' concerns are valid; one should always be wary of others.
[However, I believe this is a communication-based move. If we hadn't communicated and had just started fighting, wouldn't we be no different from Scobis?]
With the old and new captains of the GUTS team sitting here, the earth feels incredibly stable.
After the meeting, the Defense Force and the SRC immediately began to deploy countermeasures.
However, the atmosphere at the underwater base was surprisingly relaxed.
Xiao stood on the beach, holding a champagne glass in her hand.
She jerked suddenly.
Champagne sprayed out directly.
This was the kind of celebration she had seen at her childhood friend's wedding in Musashi.
She wanted to learn about human celebrations and experience human joys and sorrows.
"Cheers!"
She took a big gulp out of curiosity.
"puff--"
Then his whole face scrunched up.
"It's so bitter!"
Once she recovered, Xiao smiled happily, the gloom in her eyes largely gone.
However, behind the rocks not far away, the alien man named "Jin," who had previously been hostile to all humans, stood quietly in the shadows.
He stared coldly at Xiao, his eyes flashing with complex emotions—worry and anger.
"Humans are very dangerous... Don't be fooled by them."
Ren clenched his fists tightly, turned around, and walked into the darkness.
"This is so boring, let's kick them all out."
……
As night falls, a large amusement park on Nanyue Island is brightly lit.
Musashi was suddenly summoned here by a phone call.
The carousel flashed neon lights, and melodious music echoed in the night sky.
Truth sat on the bench, having fallen into a deep sleep due to days of travel and research, leaning back in his chair.
At this moment, Ren emerged from the shadows.
"Scobbis will be here in six days."
Musashi turned around and looked directly at Jin.
Jin raised his hand and began to gather energy, aiming it at Musashi:
"Before that, I'll kick you all out!"
Previously, he had repeatedly warned Xiao that humans were very dangerous and that she should never be fooled by them!
However, their relationship only got better and better.
Ren could no longer tolerate this change.
"But Xiao has changed."
"She is trying to understand us."
"Xiao has become a different person, and it's all your fault!"
Ren's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he took a sudden step forward.
"Shut up!"
Musashi did not dodge, but quietly looked at Jin:
"Ren, there's absolutely no need for us to have a conflict."
"Truth once told me that you are very kind."
"You've only closed yourself off because you were devastated by the destruction of your hometown."
"How could someone like you possibly understand the pain of having your beloved hometown destroyed?!"
Ren roared and fired the light bullet from his hand!
Musashi slightly turned his head and dodged the light blast!
But he didn't fire the gun he was holding tightly in his hand.
Ren was stunned...
"Because I want to have a proper talk with you."
Musashi's eyes were clear and firm.
He recalled the images Xiao had shown him.
That is the Earth in all its diverse forms.
"This is the first sight we've seen since we came to this planet."
"Both Xiao and I think this planet is really beautiful, and we shouldn't destroy this place full of life."
Would you be willing to try to trust humanity?
Ren's glowing hand trembled slightly.
His gaze lingered on Musashi's sincere face for a long time before turning to look at Mari and the distant laughter and cheers.
Finally, he slowly lowered his arm.
[The large-scale documentary "Alien Warriors Subdued by Talk Therapy" continues to air!]
Musashi's talk-no-jutsu is forever legendary!
To be honest, this tactic may be old, but it works very well.
After all, Ren wasn't inherently bad; he was simply blinded by the hatred of national subjugation and racial extermination.
Time flew by amidst the intense preparations.
Six days later.
The Suo Beach in Kitakyushu is a strategic location known as the "Gateway to the Earth".
Huge heavy machinery roared along the coastline, where countless defense soldiers and researchers were conducting intense final adjustments.
They are going to build a huge electromagnetic shield system in the ionosphere above the Earth.
This unprecedented operational plan is the only defensive measure humanity has chosen to avoid direct combat with the biological weapon Scobis.
"The main defense line along Suo Beach is currently operating normally!"
"K2 radio waves ready to launch!"
Commands were densely interwoven in the communication channel.
However, just as the electromagnetic shield was about to be fully deployed, a desperate alarm sounded from the space monitoring station.
"Scobbis spotted in Mars orbit! Approximately twenty!"
On the radar screen, countless red dots are rapidly approaching Earth at an illogical speed.
"There are twenty of them?!"
Captain Kido stared at the big screen, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.
"If so many Scobiss attack at once, we won't be able to hold out for long! The electromagnetic shield won't be able to activate in time!"
At this critical moment, the metal door of the command room was suddenly pushed open.
Akatsuki and Jin, led by Musashi, strode in.
"No one except internal staff is allowed to enter!"
The guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"She can come in!"
Captain Kido shouted.
Xiao glanced at the countdown on the big screen, quickly walked to the control panel, her hands flashing with light as she swiftly connected to the system:
"Scobbis is approaching Earth's satellite orbit."
"Sixty seconds until the electromagnetic shield deployment is complete."
"Please, you have to succeed!"
Ren also joined in, using Gashi Star's technology to forcibly increase the output power of the K2 radio waves.
"All systems are beginning to transmit radio waves! Output systems are functioning correctly!"
A massive antenna array burst forth with blinding blue light on the beach, and an invisible, enormous energy shield began to rapidly form in outer space.
"K2 electromagnetic shield coverage complete!"
As the countdown reached zero, the large screen displayed an image of the Earth being completely enveloped by a solid blue electromagnetic net.
"Good! Success!" A deafening cheer erupted in the command room.
"Awesome! This electromagnetic shield is so sturdy!"
The group breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Ren, thank you."
However, before the smiles on everyone's faces could fully bloom, an anomalous energy source with a volume so large it was suffocating suddenly appeared on the radar screen.
"We can't let our guard down yet! What is that gaseous object?!"
Behind the twenty Scobis, a massive black fog, like a ghost lurking in space and time, was silently yet irresistibly approaching Earth.
Xiao's face turned deathly pale instantly. She trembled and took a step back, her desperate voice sounding particularly jarring in the quiet command room:
"So, that enormous energy object is... it's Saint Delos!!!"
Before the words were even finished, the monitoring footage from space showed a devastating scene.
The twenty Scobis did not slow down, but instead directly rammed into the newly formed K2 electromagnetic shield with their bare bodies.
Upon contact, these biological weapons detonated themselves without hesitation!
"Boom boom boom—!"
The self-destruction of twenty Scobis created a terrifying energy shockwave powerful enough to tear space apart.
"Scobbis...it was a suicide bomb!"
The piercing alarm blared throughout the base, and red warning lights flashed wildly.
"The electromagnetic shield system has been destroyed! Defense forces are on red alert! Hurry!"
On the big screen, the blue shield that originally protected the Earth shattered into countless light spots under the continuous impact of the self-destruction, dissipating into the universe.
The enormous black mist, carrying an aura of death that could destroy everything, rushed unimpeded toward the unprotected blue planet.
