Chapter 156 Karen's Fury Leads to an Early All-Out Attack!
Karen's rage exceeded everyone's expectations. Ignoring the advice of the other two marshals, he personally led 800,000 capital ships and 500 million astral warriors, rushing towards Earth at top speed. The general offensive, originally scheduled for three days later, was brought forward by him to twelve hours later.
Upon receiving the news, the Global Xuanmen Alliance Command Center immediately entered a state of maximum combat readiness.
"Report! The main astral fleet has crossed Mars' orbit and is expected to arrive on Earth in twelve hours!"
"Report! All Dragon's Lair defenses have been reinforced! The global joint fleet has assembled in lunar orbit!"
"Report! The True Dragon Battleship is fully repaired! Shields and main guns have been upgraded!"
Lu Jingchen stood in front of the large screen in the command hall, looking at the dense red dots on the screen with an unwavering gaze.
"All personnel, heed my command!" Lu Jingchen's voice echoed across the globe. "The main fleet of the Astral Realm is about to arrive. This is our final battle! If we win, we will continue to survive; if we lose, humanity will perish! For our home, for our loved ones, fight to the very end!"
"Fight to the end! Fight to the end!"
Billions of people around the world shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.
Twelve hours later, the main fleet of the Astral Realm arrived in Earth's orbit.
Eight hundred thousand silver warships blotted out the sky, casting shadows over the entire Earth. Karen's flagship was a colossal mothership, hundreds of kilometers long, resembling a city floating in space.
Karen stood on the bridge of the mothership, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked down at Earth.
"Lu Jingchen! I'm here!" Karen roared into the communicator. "Today, I will turn the Earth into a scorched wasteland! I will make all of humanity pay for my son's death!"
"Fire!"
At Karen's command, 800,000 astral warships opened fire simultaneously. Countless energy projectiles and missiles rained down on Earth.
"Activate the Global True Dragon Defense Network!" Lu Jingchen ordered.
A massive golden light shield instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire Earth. Energy projectiles slammed into the shield, producing deafening roars. The shield trembled violently, but remained intact.
"Impossible!" Karen shouted in disbelief, "My main cannon can destroy planets, how could it not break through this broken shield?!"
Unbeknownst to him, Lu Jingchen had already infused the power of all eight dragon hearts into the defensive network, and also integrated the shield technology extracted from the wreckage of the astral warship. The True Dragon Defense Network was now more than ten times stronger than before.
"Our turn!" Lu Jingchen said coldly. "Global Joint Fleet, attack! True Dragon Battleship, target Karen's flagship!"
"yes!"
Three hundred thousand ships of the human alliance, anchored in lunar orbit, simultaneously set sail towards the astral fleet. These warships were all equipped with analyzed astral shields and weapons, greatly increasing their combat power.
The True Dragon warship took the lead, like a silver sword, directly piercing into the formation of the Astral Fleet.
"Main guns charged! Target enemy flagship!" Lu Jingchen ordered.
"Report! Main cannon fully charged! This time it's the upgraded antimatter annihilation cannon, three times more powerful than before!"
"emission!"
A thicker and more dazzling golden beam of light shot out from the main cannon of the True Dragon Battleship. This beam contained enough power to destroy an asteroid; wherever it passed, space was torn apart, leaving a black trail behind.
Karen's expression changed drastically, and she immediately ordered, "All warships, concentrate your firepower and intercept this beam! Activate the mothership's highest-level shields!"
Thousands of astral warships blocked the mothership's path and opened fire simultaneously. Countless energy beams converged, forming a massive energy barrier.
However, the golden beam of light pierced through the energy barrier with overwhelming force. The thousands of astral warships that stood in its way didn't even last a second before being vaporized into nothingness by the beam.
"No--!"
Karen let out a desperate scream.
The golden beam of light slammed into the mothership's shields.
"Snap!"
The mothership's shields shattered instantly. A beam of light pierced through the entire mothership, shooting from bow to stern.
"Boom—!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire solar system.
Karen's colossal mothership exploded violently, transforming into a massive fireball in space. Countless fragments flew in all directions, like a grand fireworks display.
"The Marshal is dead! Marshal Karen is dead!"
The Starfleet was instantly thrown into chaos. Without their commander, the soldiers had no will to fight and turned to flee.
"Chase them! Annihilate them all!" Lu Jingchen ordered.
The human alliance fleet and the True Dragon warships pressed their advantage, chasing down the fleeing astral warships as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Space was filled with the flames of explosions and the wreckage of Astral warships. The battle lasted a full day; of the 800,000 Astral warships, fewer than 100,000 managed to escape back to Astrality. Of the 500 million Astral warriors, almost all were wiped out.
Humanity has won a great victory!
When the news spread, the world erupted in celebration. People took to the streets, singing and dancing to celebrate this great victory.
The True Dragon warship slowly landed at the Kunlun Mountain base. Lu Jingchen stepped out of the warship, greeted by thunderous applause and cheers.
Su Muyue ran over and hugged him tightly, crying tears of joy: "Lu Jingchen, we won! We really won!"
Helian Ba and all the generals gathered around, bowing deeply to Lu Jingchen: "Long live Alliance Leader Lu! Long live humanity!"
Lu Jingchen looked at the cheering crowd, a relieved smile on his face. But his gaze was fixed on the deep universe.
He knew this was just the beginning. The Astral Plane still had two marshals and an even more powerful main fleet.
But he wasn't afraid.
Through this war, humanity has proven its strength.
He raised his hand, facing the direction of the universe, and slowly clenched his fist.
"Astral Plane, just you wait."
"It won't be long before I lead the True Dragon Fleet to your homeland."
"This war is far from over."
