Chapter 577: Unrivaled Dominance (2)
Great Xia was on the verge of collapse. Who could save it? How could the hatred of the nation and personal vendettas ever be resolved?
There wasn’t even the faintest glimmer of hope in this darkest hour. Even those with the steadiest minds couldn’t help but feel lost and helpless. Snow blanketed the mountains of Taihang, obstructing the ascent. The Yellow River was frozen, sealing the crossing. Where under the vast heavens was the path forward?
The atmosphere grew oppressively quiet in an instant. Just then, a massive shadow loomed over the pedestrian street. A metallic flying battleship that was more than two kilometers in length glided through the low skies until it hovered over the area.
Ripples of silver light shimmered like water as they spread across the ship’s surface. The enormous vessel slowly emerged from its cloaked state, revealing its menacing form.
“This is...” Liu Xiao drew in a sharp breath.
There were rumors that the Yiggs, having mastered extraterrestrial technological civilizations, had developed massive interstellar spacecraft capable of leaving Earth. It was said that they could use these advanced ships to traverse oceans unscathed and cross effortlessly between continents. What had once been dismissed as mere hearsay now materialized before their very eyes.
The hearts of Yan Chiyu and the others sank. Even Ye Liuying’s face grew grave.
Moments later, a hatch on the lower right side of the battleship opened. Warriors clad in power armor emerged like a plague of locusts as they descended from the giant vessel.
No! Those weren’t power armors. They were something far more advanced: humanoid mech suits. Star Armors! The term immediately surfaced in the minds of those who were well-informed.
These legendary close-fitting armors were said to be capable of combat in outer space. This was another creation far beyond Earth’s level of technology. At the same time, the Xie family’s warriors and soldiers appeared on the ground. A flood of rebels poured into the pedestrian street, wielding specialized identification devices as they conducted a sweeping, grid-like search.
In fact, every area the heavy truck had passed through earlier was now undergoing the same intensive screening. Nothing and no one was left unchecked. The thoroughness of this search exceeded anything anyone could have imagined. Even Ye Liuying realized that certain elements of this situation had gone beyond her expectations.
