Chapter 1468

Chapter 1438: Void Insectoids Invade the Nuclear World's Java! (Two-in-One)

Sea Star.

Rolling mountains and silver-grey Moon surface everywhere.

As the new address for the Marine Headquarters, after many years of construction, it was no longer as empty and desolate as before.

Looking out, towering spires, majestic fortresses, and roads extending in all directions were densely yet orderly distributed across the east, west, south, and north.

In the starlight-filled space.

Various types of spaceships shuttled back and forth, like streaks of meteors streaking across the night sky.

Inside the modern, sci-fi-colored starport, one giant spaceship after another took off and landed.

The slightly thin air around them was compressed into streams of air current by their movements, forming visible waves of air current around them.

On the ground.

Marine soldiers patrolled and stood guard everywhere.

Their gazes were vigilant, ready to respond to any sudden situation that might arise.

Not far away.

Marine officers, wearing White Justice Coats, were directing their Marine soldiers and Conquerors to escort the Space Pirates who were lucky enough to be captured to the Marine Prison specifically set up underground on the Moon.

These Space Pirates from different planets had strange and varied appearances.

Each of them wore tattered Space Combat Suits, trembling as they queued forward, occasionally glancing around the environment with unease.

But whenever their line of sight met the cold gaze of the Marine soldiers, they would quickly lower their heads and dodge.

Because they had already seen how terrifying the combat power of these soldiers was.

Extraordinary speed, able to rush from a hundred meters away in just a few breaths.

Incredible swordsmanship, forming wind, fire, thunder, and water when swinging their blades; one person was enough to cut down a dozen Pirates.

Even those soldiers fighting bare-handed could use astonishing martial arts comparable to superpowers.

Only a small number of Space Pirates with exceptional talent could resist, or even cause some casualties, by relying on superpowers or laser weapons.

But these Space Pirates would quickly be dealt with by the higher-ranking officers who arrived later.

However, given that their bodies had considerable research value, they would try their best to keep them alive and prioritize sending them to Impel Down.

At the same time.

Many researchers from the Academy of Science were on Sea Star's second satellite, carefully examining the spaceships of the Space Pirates brought back by the Marines.

Fortunately, the 'Sea Monster Claw Type Assault Drop Pod' did not cause excessive destruction to them, so they could be used again after repairing the damaged parts.

For Alchemists, this was purely a professional match.

However, what the World Government planned to do next was not repair them, but disassemble them after the research was completed, and finally send them to the warehouse of the Warship Factory by category.

At this time, whether on the Moon or the second satellite, a tense yet orderly and serious atmosphere permeated.

Everyone's activities during work were efficient, precise, and professional.

Truly, each performed their own duty.

"Hello?"

"This is Enel. I've caught the leader of this group of Space Pirates, his name is Somali."

Inside the Blackbird's command center.

Streams of electro darted everywhere with crackling sounds.

Enel, wearing a White Justice Coat and with a pair of pure white wings on his back, was floating a dozen centimeters above the ground with bare feet.

Holding Captain Somali, whose skin was blue and who had a white five-pointed star mark on the center of his brow, in his right hand, he lazily reported to the Den Den Mushi in his left hand.

"Good!"

Sengoku in the office was very delighted: "Thank you for bringing both the person and the ship over. Make sure he doesn't die!"

He didn't expect Enel to actually succeed in catching a 'big fish'.

Borsalino had just called as well, saying that the Avery Pirates' capital ship fleet had escaped.

This made him feel very regrettable, but he didn't blame Borsalino either.

After all, they activated the 'Faster-Than-Light Jump Engine', and even a Light Human couldn't stop them.

Who knew Enel did it!

"Understood, but this seemingly magnificent spaceship seems to be severely damaged by me, and I only left this one."

Enel said, looking around the inside of the spaceship, where sparks were constantly bursting and minor explosions were occurring.

He hadn't held back at all to keep this Blackbird.

Although the massive electro successfully interrupted the engine's operation, it also destroyed most of the internal hardware and software.

Sengoku raised an eyebrow, then smiled: "It's alright, as long as the person is caught!"

They were the Marines; they only ensured they tried not to cause excessive destruction to the spaceships. Let the Academy of Science worry about the repair problem.

Compared to that, capturing the captain of a Great Pirate Crew gave them a chance to obtain more intelligence.

Since then.

Facing the second invasion by the Space Pirates, the Marine Headquarters successfully solved the problem.

But everyone knew this was just the beginning, and certainly more Space Pirates would come.

Especially those Space Pirates who escaped were sources of information, spreading what happened here over a wider range.

However, Sengoku's mood became much more relaxed.

Because the fact had proven that they had enough strength to deal with these Space Pirates.

As long as their own Cosmic Fleet was gradually built, the World Government could turn defense into attack.

And compete with the Galactic Empire and the Cosmic Federation for this infinitely vast Star Sea!

Nuclear World.

Since the Insectoids from the Falmart World appeared from the Star Gate in the Third Special Zone.

The Rakshasa Nation, Lighthouse Country, Tianzhu, Iron Tower, Eagle Island, and other nations became very nervous.

But after a few days, they found that the Insectoid Beasts could not invade, and were instead beaten back by the Star Realm Army's cannon fire, while also collecting many Insectoid carcasses for research.

Recently, they also heard that the Star Realm Army was preparing to push back and retake the Alnus Camp on the other side.

This eased the minds of the nations, and they even proactively contacted the World Government Branch stationed in the Third Special Zone.

They asked if military support was needed, stating they were willing to dispatch troops to help the World Government resist the 'Void Insectoids'.

To be honest, they didn't understand why they were called 'Void Insectoids'.

Shouldn't they be 'Falmart Insectoids'?

But the World Government did not give an explanation, and no one dared to ask further; it was just a name anyway.

As for their inquiry, it was rejected by Minister Amber Roman, who said that the Star Realm Army had the ability to solve the Void Insectoids problem on their own.

The nations expressed regret about this, and could only watch eagerly as the World Government collected the Insectoid Beast corpses truck by truck.

They actually wanted to get some too, to see if they could research something from them.

However, Minister Amber Roman said: "We have not received relevant notification, so we cannot share the Insectoid Beast corpses for now."

So the higher-ups of the nations in the Nuclear World could only wait quietly for the so-called relevant notification mentioned by the other side.

It was estimated that the World Government's Biochemical Research Institute would conduct the research first.

After obtaining results, they would then let them purchase these results, and incidentally pay for all the previous research funding.

This kind of practice was all too familiar to the higher-ups of the nations.

It seemed they had no chance to conduct their own research. Alas.

Java Country.

This was an archipelago nation known as the 'Country of a Thousand Islands'.

Because its nearly two million square kilometers of land area was composed of approximately seventeen thousand five hundred islands.

Its capital was Jakarta, located in the northwest of the largest island, Java Island.

And about one hundred forty kilometers to its east was a city named Bandung.

Located in a high-altitude basin surrounded by volcanoes, with mountains on all sides, lush plants, and a beautiful environment.

Coupled with its high elevation, cool climate, and fresh air, the climate was very pleasant.

So it was developed as a tourist and leisure resort very early on.

Bandung had a permanent population of around 1.5 million, but a floating population of nearly 2 million.

It could be said to be a quite prosperous and lively city.

Braga Street.

It was a street located in the center of Bandung, famous for its historical charm.

Various coffee shops, restaurants, bars, shops, and most importantly, art corridors lined both sides of this street.

Large numbers of tourists strolled among them, occasionally letting out sounds of laughter.

It seemed the appearance of the World Government had not significantly affected the people here.

However, when they took out Berry Banknotes to pay, one knew they had actually gotten used to it.

But just then.

A bright white light suddenly appeared in the center of this Braga Street, which was very crowded with cars, motorcycles, and a large number of people.

Instantly attracted the line of sight of many men, women, old and young around.

But it also caused a series of collision accidents among the cars and motorcycles that were driving, because the drivers slammed on their brakes in fright.

The 'bang bang bang' loud noise instantly turned the scene's atmosphere into chaos and nervousness.

At this moment.

Shop owners, street tourists, residents sitting under parasols, drivers in cars, and motorcycle drivers who had fallen to the ground.

They no longer cared about arguing and cursing, subconsciously watching the white light grow larger and gradually change into the shape of a ring.

The faces of some young people changed drastically.

In recent days, they had witnessed many magical and astonishing matters.

From the Space-Time Gate that first appeared in Japan, to the Ancient Army, Dragon Riders, and Demonic Beasts that rushed out from inside, until the World Government forcefully stepped in to suppress the nations, change the law, and unify the currency.

Afterwards, information about other worlds poured into their line of sight and ears like a tsunami.

They even watched the entire Multiverse Top 100 Power Contest that had just concluded recently.

Therefore, the scene before them immediately made everyone present realize it was a supernatural event.

At this moment, some were filled with excitement and expectation, while others felt unease and fear.

But no one had the thought of moving their feet to leave.

They instinctively wanted to see what this white light was.

The people living in a modern technological civilization, in this regard, had greater curiosity and courage.

It wasn't until the white light ring, nearly ten meters in diameter, formed, and a large number of terrifying Insectoids, estimated to be nearly three meters tall and five meters long, swarmed out.

Only then did the people present realize that something terrible was happening.

Under intense fear, they quickly fled into the distance, simultaneously letting out the most piercing screams.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Mon... Monsters! Run!"

"No, don't come over, ugh ah----"

However, the dense Insectoids, like a yellow and black tide, mercilessly massacred every human along the way.

Vehicles on the street were torn apart by the sharp tentacles of the Insectoid Beasts.

Streetlights, shops, every corner was wantonly destroyed.

But the most shocking sight, naturally, was the pools of crimson blood.

Some people picked up chairs nearby to try and resist, but their strength was too weak, and they were cut into pieces by the tentacles in the blink of an eye.

Before long, sporadic gunshots were heard.

But it wasn't the police or the army arriving, but a few civilians who possessed firearms, or rather, gang members from this zone.

This country was gun-free, but the decree wasn't strictly enforced.

However, their small pistols couldn't even leave a mark on the exoskeleton of the Insectoid Beasts.

Soon, the entire Braga Street was submerged by the insect swarm.

In every building, Insectoid Beasts were searching for hiding humans.

And the wave formed by the Insectoids began to spread in all directions.

Large numbers of people died tragically under the attack of the insect swarm.

Countless people screamed and shrieked in terror, but quickly turned into continuous screams.

Vehicles attempting to escape filled all the paths, but instead caused severe congestion, and their metal shells were torn open by the pursuing insect swarm.

Chaos! The entire Bandung was in complete chaos!

It was simply a central explosion.

Countless Insectoid Beasts rampaged wildly.

But all of this happened too quickly, too quickly.

However, the Nuclear World was a technological civilization in the year 2003.

The existence of radio and the internet meant that the situation happening here was known to the capital Jakarta immediately.

But they were also stunned over there.

Fortunately, being a national organization, the current president immediately issued an order to the Military Headquarters.

He requested them to mobilize the troops from nearby military regions to rush to Bandung to prevent the insect swarm from spreading further.

Especially, they had to guard the defense line between the capital and Bandung.

Java Country currently had over 300,000 army personnel, over 40,000 Marines, and over 30,000 air force personnel.

Their overall military strength was quite good in the Southeast Asia region.

It was just unknown if they could truly suppress the insect swarm within the Bandung zone.

Regarding this problem.

The current president seemed to have his own answer in his mind. He began arranging for people to contact the surrounding nations, as well as great countries like the Rakshasa Nation, Lighthouse Country, and Yuangu.

Finally, he personally contacted the World Government Branch located in the Third Special Zone.

To be honest, he really wanted to curse out loud right now, curse something like: "What the hell is your World Government doing? Didn't you say you could solve the Insectoids problem? Why are they appearing in our nation!"

But when the call connected, the first sentence from this Java Country president was: "Hello, I am... We have discovered... here, I plead for the esteemed Minister Amber Roman to dispatch the Star Realm Army to support us as soon as possible..."

The operator on the other end didn't dare to be careless after hearing this and replied: "I understand, please wait patiently for notification!" After speaking, he directly hung up the Den Den Mushi, because he had to start reporting.

The Java Country president on this side sat back in his chair powerlessly, listening to the 'beep beep beep' sound.

He could only pray in his heart that the World Government's reaction would be faster, otherwise, he didn't know how many people would survive in this vast nation.

Yes, the large-scale influx of Void Insectoids brought unimaginable darkness to the Nuclear World.

Fear and despair were spreading from Bandung in Java Country to the entire world.

Not long after.

Emperor Vladimir the Great of the Rakshasa Nation, President Darrell of the Lighthouse Country, and other higher-ups from various nations.

Gradually learned about the large number of Insectoids appearing in Java Country.

They all mobilized their own satellites to point towards the area, preparing to see the specific situation there now.

On the other side.

Minister Amber Roman of the World Government Branch stationed in the Nuclear World's Third Special Zone had also realized that the matter was beginning to go beyond control.

So he immediately picked up the Den Den Mushi to contact the Otherworld Strategy Committee Member.

He felt that this Nuclear World would likely become a battlefield as well...
