From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

As the laboratories on the 3rd and 4th floors of the base were breached, the Descent Faction's top brass were furious.

This secret base had cost the Descent Faction a tremendous amount of financial resources to establish, and now it was being destroyed by attackers.

Therefore, the top brass of the Descent Faction furiously ordered all available armed forces to go and support.

Sikes's official offer for help was rejected by the Descent Faction.

Because the "things" inside the Delrim Base No. 3 could not be known to the officials, nor could they be known by other factions.

Otherwise, the secrets of Delrim Base No. 3 would become an excuse for other factions to attack the Descent Faction.

For the top brass of the Descent Faction, the laboratories in the base were very important, but the faction's support rate was even more crucial.

Because the faction's support rate was the foundation of the Descent Faction; if the things in the base were exposed, then the support rate could plummet significantly, followed by the halving of various funds and investments.

This was something that the faction leaders could not accept, so even if Delrim Base No. 3 was attacked, the Descent Faction was unwilling to accept support from officials and other factions.

...

Outside Delrim Base No. 3.

A drone swarm of two hundred units converged, preparing to provide support to the base.

The drone swarm had just reached the outside of the base when they were first attacked by the ground autonomous firepower suppression robots.

Then, twenty-four technologically advanced armed drones took off to intercept this two hundred strong drone swarm.

Rat-tat-tat!

Rat-a-tat!

The two sides exchanged fire fiercely, and with only the loss of a single drone, the Xavier Matrix-controlled ground firepower system and drone squadron brought down more than one hundred fifty drones, leaving a few dozen to fly into the base.

In addition to the destroyed drones, a few were also damaged.

The broken drones landed inside a transport vehicle, where the in-vehicle repair system began repairing the damaged parts of the drones.

A few minutes later, the repaired drones took off again to continue the fight.

Fifteen minutes later.

The American team led by Alex Austin arrived outside the base.

This was a faction mission issued by the Descent Faction leaders, and they had promised great benefits.

Therefore, the American team rushed over as soon as possible.

Arriving outside the base, they happened to see the mechanical units of both enemies and friends in a firefight.

The superpower user named Harris, raising a sniper rifle, blew up one drone with a single shot, and asked, "Should we clear out these drones?"

"With just this few, give me one minute," another superpower user said, then leapt into the air and flew towards the drone swarm.

He conjured a tornado, tossing the drones around in the sky, then smashing them into each other, exploding and falling down with a "bang".

In less than a minute, about two dozen drones were cleared out.

At the same time.

Alex Austin charged out with his Star Shield, blocking the shots from the ground autonomous firepower suppression system, rushed up close, and swung a hammer.

The thunder exploded violently.

In the blink of an eye, all the ground autonomous firepower suppression systems were destroyed.

The American team cleared out the external mechanical units and then entered the base, following the passage created by the self-destructing nanobots.

However, when they arrived at the entrance to the first underground level, they found that the entrance had been collapsed.

"Damn it! The entrance is collapsed. These Da Xia people only know how to buy time," one member of the American team cursed out loud as he kicked a stone from the entrance.

Now that the base's alarm had been sent out, and along with the alarm, the information of the intruders had also been sent out, including several brief video clips.

Although the video clips were fragmented, they were enough for them to recognize that the intruders were a team of Da Xia's superpower users.

This was another reason Alex Austin decided to take on this mission.

Last time, they came close to capturing Xavier Matrix; if the Da Xia superpower users hadn't interfered, they would now have a high status within the Descent Faction.

"What do we do now? Shall we move these debris?" the sniper Harris asked.

"Too time-consuming: Kalim, blow another entrance for us," ordered Alex Austin.

The one called Kalim was a white superpower user, the heavy gunner of the American team.

He took out an RPG launcher, loaded a rocket, found another spot, and asked, "Is this position okay?"

The white female on the team placed her hand on the wall, closed her eyes, and using her x-ray vision to check behind the wall, said, "Move two steps to the right. Yes, right there."

"Back off!"

Kalim spoke and took the lead in moving back to the side of the wall. He aimed the rocket launcher at that spot and then fired the rocket.

Boom!

With a loud blast, the rocket blew a big hole in the wall, and a piece of the ceiling collapsed.

"Go!"

Alex Austin had no time to consider whether the base was destroyed and immediately led his team inside.

All along the way, every entrance was blocked.

They tried to go through normal passages, but after the alarm sounded, all passages were locked. Reopening them would take time.

Moreover, some passages were also blasted away.

So if they wanted to move down quickly, they could only use oriented blasting like the intruders did.

After blasting open two holes, Kalim began to express his dissatisfaction, "Do you know how expensive my rockets are? After we get back, each of you has to use Divine Energy to synthesize a rocket for me, otherwise I won't open any more holes."

Alex Austin glanced at him and replied, "After we get back, I'll have ASE Corporation fill your rockets to the brim."

"That's more like it," Kalim agreed to continue leading the way.

As a heavy gunner like him, his firepower was indeed fierce, but such ferocity was built on money and resources.

An RPG rocket on Blue Star wasn't expensive at all, in America, it only cost 100 dollars.

However, to bring an RPG rocket into the Abyss Battlefield, it wasn't just a matter of 100 dollars, it required the use of Divine Energy for assimilation.

For the average Superpower User, these RPG rockets were truly unaffordable.

But the team of Superpower Users led by Alex Austin had the support of the ASE All-Knowing Eye Alliance.

The ASE Alliance was the largest capitalist family alliance on Blue Star, and each of the Level 33 families within it was rich enough to rival countries.

Now, with the Abyss invasion nearing the end of July, the resources controlled by the ASE Alliance in the Abyss had become immensely vast.

Relying on these substantial resources, they raised Alex Austin's team.

The two weapons used by Alex Austin, the Star Shield and the Thunder Hammer, were both Grade A weapons.

Having two Grade A weapons on the same Superpower User, one could imagine what kind of existence he was in America.

Within the nations of America, he had already started being known as "Thunder God Austin."

Other Superpower Users in his team also received substantial resource support.

Heavy Gunner Kalim could bring a large number of RPG rockets into the Abyss Battlefield, which was indicative of the immense resources they had obtained.

Naturally, these RPG rockets were not assimilated by Kalim using his Divine Energy, but were all paid for by the ASE Alliance.

...

At this moment.

In the fifth underground level of Delrims Base 3, Lu Heng was leading his team in preparing to make a breakthrough.

Just two minutes ago, Lu Heng had received a notification from the Xavier Matrix.

He learned that the American team led by Alex Austin had entered the base and that the outer mechanical units had been nearly completely destroyed, unable to intercept any further.

Lu Heng glanced at the time, it was 11 p.m., with only one last hour remaining.

"Let's begin. We'll break through the laser matrix first," Lu Heng arranged the action plan and synchronized with the Xavier Matrix.

"Three seconds on the countdown, the energy supply system will be cut off. The disconnection time is 30 seconds."

The holographic screen displayed the countdown 3, 2, 1...

At the last second, Lu Heng ordered the start of the breakthrough.

The moment the energy supply was cut off, the Shadow Clone was the first to leap into the fifth level, then began to charge forward through the corridor.

A hundred or so lasers swept towards him. The Shadow Clone sprinted at his fastest speed, attempting to dodge the laser fire as much as possible, but still shattered after two seconds.

Then.

Su Muyu commanded the Divine Feathered Eagle to rush into the corridor, flying along the ceiling, continuing to attract the laser matrix's firepower.

While the laser matrix targeted the Divine Feathered Eagle, the Mechanical Tiger Anka launched six Miniature Missiles into the corridor, locking onto and attacking the laser matrix.

However, the laser matrix immediately abandoned the Divine Feathered Eagle, redirecting to intercept the Miniature Missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

In an instant, the six Miniature Missiles were intercepted and exploded mid-air.

The shrapnel failed to hit the targets and exploded, but the power of the explosion still destroyed two laser projectors.

The Divine Feathered Eagle continued to fly forward, drawing laser sweeps while also observing the structure of the laser matrix inside the corridor.

Just when the Divine Feathered Eagle was about to be blasted by the lasers, it used the Divine Feathered Eagle Skill "Blazing Flame Light," emitting a 1200-degree high-temperature beam, burning down a dozen laser projectors.

After using the Skill Consumption to deplete the energy of the laser matrix for 10 seconds.

"Go! Everyone, follow up," Lu Heng pulled Su Muyu and jumped first into the fifth level.

Su Muyu immediately activated the "Prism Force Field," blocking the attack of the laser matrix.

The mechanical units that followed fired simultaneously, attacking the laser matrix.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

One by one, the laser projectors were destroyed in the assault.

Su Muyu's "Prism Force Field" lasted for six seconds before the skill ended.

Lu Heng instantly unleashed a slash of "Rift Slash," creating a Rift Trace, continuing to block the laser fire.

The Rift Trace lasted for three seconds, and after it ended, Mechanical Tiger Anka's outer metal deformed, forming a giant shield in the front, activating the "Fiery Flame Shield" skill, blocking the last second of the high-energy laser.

After the last second passed, the battery energy of the laser matrix was exhausted, the intensity of the lasers rapidly decreased, and finally disappeared.

Lu Heng glanced at the time and said, "We only have nine seconds, destroy all the laser projectors, fast!"

The calculation was 30 seconds of cutting off the energy supply, with the laser matrix's battery capacity lasting for 20 seconds, originally leaving a 10-second gap.

However, in actual combat, the laser matrix did not operate at full power for the full 20 seconds, hence there was a one-second discrepancy.

Although there were only nine seconds left, it was enough.

Lu Heng, sword in hand, soared out, swinging his blade to destroy all the laser projectors he passed.

Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, Yuan Yaoyao with her Black Feather Spirit, and including the White Feather Spirit, all mechanical units spread out, firing full force, destroying all the laser projectors in sight.

In those nine seconds, the team unleashed their fiercest firepower, turning the entire laser matrix into rubble.
