The Mecha Warriors of the United States and the experts from all over the West were on the first spaceship, while the Zodiac Army, the Vatican, the Greek Guardians, and members of the Covenant of Darkness were on the second spaceship. Before setting off, all the nuclear warheads were already in place. According to the data provided by the US military, it would take approximately 36 hours to reach the predetermined location. At this time, the intercontinental missiles on the ground of various countries were ready to be launched at any time.
In order to prevent a conflict between the Vatican and the Covenant of Darkness, Qi Yue led the Zodiac Army and the Greek Guardians in the middle. However, this inevitably caused Qi Yue and Yummou's seats to be very close. As the leaders of their respective sides, they both sat at the front. On Qi Yue's left was Leng'Er, on his right was Yummou, and on Yummou's right was Pope Marty.
The spacecraft was sent into space using a rocket booster. Even these powerhouses found it hard to bear the powerful thrust of the rocket. Fortunately, the gravitational adjustment system inside the American spacecraft was pretty good, so this situation didn't last too long.
Qi Yue closed his eyes and quietly adjusted the Thundercloud Force in his body. Training all the time was the best way to improve his strength. These days, his ability to control his emotions had improved the effect of his training to another level.
"Qi Yue, can we talk?" Yummou's voice suddenly rang in Qi Yue's mind. It was a telepathic message. Even the powerful Leng'Er and the Pope could not hear it.
Qi Yue's eyes were still closed. He quietly replied in his heart, "What is there to talk about?"
Yummou was silent for a while before she said, "Qi Yue, can you let go of the hatred between us and let us talk as ordinary friends? The mission we are about to carry out, whether it is you or me. None of them had absolute confidence that they could deal with it. Since that's the case, why can't we discuss our countermeasures openly? "
Qi Yue replied, "Alright. Tell me. "
Although his answer was very simple, it still made Yummou secretly heave a sigh of relief. She calmly said, "Let's not talk about the situation with the United States for now. As the strongest country in the world, they will definitely spare no effort to protect Earth. However, the experts on this spaceship may not be the same. At the very least, when it's time to contribute, I'm afraid only you and us will do our best regardless of the cost. "
Qi Yue: "I agree with that. What do you think? "Yummou was right. Qi Yue knew how selfish the Vatican could be. Once danger arose, Malty would never lead his men to the frontline. As for the Covenant of Darkness, perhaps they would try their best in the early stages, but when it came time to do so at all costs, only the heavens knew what they would do.
Yummou said, "Nuclear weapons are our main trump card this time. However … If we use all our nuclear weapons and still can't achieve our goal, do you have any way to deal with it? "
Qi Yue's heart skipped a beat. "So, you're saying that you have a feeling?"
Yummou shook her head and said, "No, I'm just making a judgment in advance. We have to be prepared for both sides. "
Qi Yue said, "If that really happens, we can only do our best for the sake of Earth. At that time, we can only rely on our own strength. "
Yummou said, "The appearance of the asteroid made me understand the insignificance of human strength. Compared to the vast universe, we are still too far behind. Qi Yue. If there really is a problem in the end, can you trust me again and let us Guardians of the East and West really cooperate fully and exert our strength to the limit? I have a special skill that can divert the impact of the enemy's attack as much as possible. If this skill can be supported by powerful energy, it may be able to have a certain impact on the direction of the asteroid. "
Opening his eyes, Qi Yue turned to look at Yummou. "You want me to support you with energy again? Yummou, why do you want me to trust you again? " They have been communicating with each other through spiritual force, and the others around them can't hear what they say. At this time, everyone in the spacecraft was very nervous. They were quietly restraining their energy so that their state can reach the best level to face the mission in dozens of hours.
Yummou showed a trace of bitterness on her face. Looking at Qi Yue's burning eyes, she shook her head gently. "I don't have anything to make you believe me."
Qi Yue closed his eyes again. "I agree to cooperate."
Yummou thought she heard wrong. "You agree?"
Qi Yue said indifferently. "If it really reaches that level, and even the entire human homeland is about to be destroyed, what is the point of our personal hatred? However, when that time comes, I want to be the dominant one. "
Yummou froze for a moment. The two began to talk closely, discussing the ultimate method that may be used in the end.
It took them a full hour to reach a final agreement. Both of them calmed down and re-entered their respective state of cultivation.
With a violent tremor, the spacecraft finally broke free from the shackles of the atmosphere and entered space. Through the thick alloy glass window, you can see the darkness outside. The stars in the distance look a little blurred, but the universe is so beautiful. However, the people on the two spaceships are not in the mood to appreciate it at all.
The feeling of depression filled everyone's heart, and also filled the governments of every country on Earth. The disputes between the various countries had quietly stopped. If even the earth can't be saved, what is the point of those disputes? A faint light flashed, and the spacecraft accelerated again after leaving the atmosphere, separated from the booster rocket, and flew towards the unknown distant space at the highest speed that human technology can achieve.
Thirty-six hours. It seemed to be a very long time, especially when they were waiting anxiously and oppressively. This time seemed to be much longer.
Qi Yue was awakened from his cultivation by the broadcast in the spacecraft. The control of the spacecraft was completely controlled by the most elite of the United States. At the same time, they were also responsible for communicating with Earth and passing on all the latest news to everyone there.
"I just received the latest information. The speed of the asteroid has decreased by 8%, but its direction has not changed."
Hearing this news, everyone in the spacecraft couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The slower the asteroid, the more advantageous it was for them. This way, they would have more time to complete everything.
However, the good news was immediately followed by bad news. "The asteroid's orbit has changed due to the influence of some uncertain factors in the universe. It has changed from a straight flight to a rotating flight. All personnel, please be prepared. There are two hours left, and we are about to enter the attack position. Wait for the asteroid to arrive. "
Rotating flight? A glint flashed in Qi Yue's eyes. Although he hadn't learned any advanced knowledge, he understood what rotating flight meant. The appearance of rotating flight would inevitably greatly reduce the impact of the nuclear bomb on the direction of the asteroid. After all, even if one attacked the same location, the asteroid might deviate to the right during the previous attack. The next attack might cause the asteroid to deviate to the left. If that was the case, the threat that the asteroid could pose would increase greatly, and whether it could be successfully deviated from its orbit would become even more unpredictable.
He turned his head and looked at Yummou. Yummou was also looking at him, and the two of them could see the persistent faith in each other's eyes. No matter what the outcome was, they would persist until the last moment.
The atmosphere on the spacecraft became even more solemn, while the situation on Earth was even worse.
In order to launch intercontinental missiles at the same time, the major powers were communicating directly through satellites without any difference in time. At this time … The President and the Secretary of Defense of the United States were quietly listening to the reports of their subordinates, and their expressions became extremely solemn.
The Secretary of Defense said in a deep voice, "The asteroid's rapid rotation will greatly weaken the intercontinental missiles launched from Earth. Now, I'm afraid we can only place our hopes on the brave warriors in space operations. "
Although the President could barely maintain his calm, the light in his eyes had begun to flicker. After all, it was absolutely impossible not to be worried in the face of such a crisis.
"In any case, there is no time to change the plan. Pass the news to the brave warriors in space operations and order them to bombard the asteroid in one direction at the beginning of the mission, no matter how the asteroid rotates. "This was one of the strategies that had been decided in advance. Although the damage to the asteroid itself would be greatly reduced due to the dispersion of the attack, it was also the best way to deal with it at present. Only by bombarding in one direction could the asteroid gradually change its direction and finally achieve the goal of deviating from its course.
At the same time, the Yanhuang Republic also received the news that the intercontinental missiles were ready. The President of the United States was waiting quietly. All the lock-on devices had been set through the US satellite. Now, in front of him was a huge red button, which was connected to all the intercontinental missile launchers of the Yanhuang Republic.
Every country was waiting for that moment to come, and at this moment, the brave warriors in space operations had also begun to prepare.
After putting on their custom-made spacesuits, the experts of the four sides carried out their respective preparations. At this time, they were located in the belly of the spacecraft. When the mission was ready to begin, they would be sent out from here. The spacecraft was very large. Even if there were ten times more people, it wouldn't feel crowded, let alone just a little more than 1,000 people. At this time, the Guardians of the East revealed their true strength in front of the other three parties.
When each member of the Zodiac Legion put on their own spacesuits, there were still a lot of spacesuits that had been prepared in advance around them. This made the other three parties feel a little strange. What was even more strange was that, except for the 12 Zodiac Guardian warriors, the other members of the 12 Zodiac squads did not equip themselves with the nuclear bombs that had been prepared.
Qi Yue stood at the forefront. According to the pre-prepared plan, most of the nuclear bombs that belonged to the Guardians of the East had not been equipped. At this time, there was only one hour left before they arrived at their destination.
Yummou's somewhat anxious voice came. "Qi Yue, is there any problem on your side? If possible, I think I should be able to help you share some of the burden. "
Qi Yue shook his head, and his calm voice rang in the ears of every soldier of the Zodiac Legion. "Summon."
A golden light filled the belly of the entire spacecraft without warning, and a huge pressure broke out from the Guardians of the East in an instant. The sudden appearance of the pressure made the faces of the Dark Parliament, the Vatican, and the Greek Guardians change at the same time. Subconsciously, they all focused their eyes on the Guardians of the East. At this moment, their pupils completely shrank, and some of the less determined ones even exclaimed because of what they saw.
The Guardians of the East had completely turned into a golden sea, and a total of 120 golden giant birds appeared quietly beside the 120 members of the Zodiac Squad. No wonder the Guardians of the East occupied half of the entire belly of the spacecraft, but what were these giant birds?
The members of the Dark Parliament were at a loss and didn't know the answer. Only Leng'Er had seen the Little Peng summoned by Qi Yue. The shock in the hearts of Yummou and the Pope could not be described in words. In the battle of Dali, Yummou had personally fought with the golden-winged eagle. That 10,000-year-old vicious beast finally died on the arm of Qi Yue's ultimate Kirin. That was just one of them! But now, there were more than 100 of them in front of them. No wonder Qi Yue was always so fearless. With such a strong comprehensive strength, even if the Greek Guardians joined forces with the Vatican and the Dark Parliament, they may not be able to compete with these Guardians of the East. Mysterious East, how much more shock can you bring?
The members of the Twelve Zodiac Squads all looked very serious. After a long period of training, they now remembered Qi Yue's instructions in their hearts. No matter what kind of task, they only needed to do one thing, and that was to obey the orders of their respective captains, and even more so, to obey the orders of the Zodiac King. Everyone began to move quickly, putting on those special spacesuits.
Space was indeed very dangerous, and all kinds of harmful rays were not something that human beings could withstand. However, the Golden Giant Rocs were different. Compared to humans, their bodies were much stronger. Therefore, there were only two things in the spacesuits. One was the oxygen mask equipped on the head of the golden-winged eagle. Through the oxygen device carried by the eagle, these golden-winged eagles could have the same breathing time in space as the experts of the four sides. The other one was the auxiliary devices on their lower abdomen and wings. These auxiliary devices only had one function, and that was to carry nuclear bomb launchers.
Seeing the nuclear bombs appear on the bodies of the golden-winged eagles, the Greek Guardians, the Vatican, and the Dark Parliament all quietly watched. The golden-winged eagles had cultivated for different periods of time. Those with a cultivation of more than 3,000 years were equipped with six nuclear bombs, those with a cultivation of more than 6,000 years were equipped with ten nuclear bombs, and those with a cultivation of more than 10,000 years were equipped with 16 nuclear bombs. For example, Little Peng, who was the best among the golden-winged eagles, was equipped with as many as 24 nuclear bombs. There seemed to be a lot of nuclear bombs in reserve just now, but after the golden-winged eagles were equipped with more than half of the nuclear bombs.
Qi Yue quietly watched everything in front of him. The nuclear bombs on Little Peng's body were installed by Ruyue and Ming Ming, so he did not need to worry at all. For this mission, he had to always be in the position of a leader. Only then could he better mobilize the strength of his subordinates.
The Pope and Yummou looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes. The Pope's heart was filled with fear, and Yummou was thinking about the battle of Mount Everest. If Qi Yue had brought his subordinates back then … Under the siege of 120 golden-winged eagles, it was likely that none of the Greek Guardians would have been able to survive.
The overly shocking scene reduced the pressure in everyone's hearts by a lot. Looking at the giant golden-winged eagles, everyone became much more confident. Everyone's confidence was boosted, and they quickly carried out the final preparations.
The number of nuclear bombs equipped on the golden-winged eagles had been carefully calculated to ensure that the golden-winged eagles' flexibility in flight would not be affected after being equipped. After the run-in in the ancient behemoth era, the members of the Zodiac team could completely cooperate with their messengers and achieve the level of unity between man and bird. Only when the golden-winged eagles were summoned would the twelfth Zodiac team have a complete combat power.
The captain of the American spaceship in charge of the spaceship was stunned for a full 10 minutes before he remembered his mission. After a brief discussion, he asked everyone to wait in place. The spaceship's belly compartment was ready to be released.
"Warriors, each of you is a warrior who represents life on Earth. I won't say much, as you are already familiar with the purpose of this mission. I can tell you now. This is a guarantee. As long as your mission is successfully completed and the spaceship I am in charge of has not crashed, I will not let any of you lose sight of me. You are the warriors of all mankind. Now, get ready to set off. Twenty minutes later … The belly compartment opened. Good luck. "
The captain bowed respectfully to the experts around him. He bent his waist more than 90 degrees, fully showing his respect for these experts. He understood that the number of people who could survive was much smaller than he had imagined. When using nuclear bombs, the first thing they had to face was the terrifying gravitational force generated by the asteroid.
The captain left, and the gap between the belly compartment and the spaceship was completely closed. Qi Yue did not sit down to maintain his physical strength at its best like the others. Wearing a spacesuit, his body was obviously bigger, which looked a little funny. After opening the device on the chest of the spacesuit, Qi Yue walked to the nuclear bombs that the Eastern Guardians were responsible for. At this time … About one-third of the nuclear bombs were left. Most of these nuclear bombs were provided by the Yanhuang Republic.
Five-colored light gushed out from Qi Yue's chest and quickly condensed into a huge light barrier that enveloped the remaining nuclear warheads. A faint light flickered, and when everyone's gazes were focused on him, Qi Yue's body trembled. The colorful light disappeared. And the nuclear bombs also disappeared.
Only then did Qi Yue return to his original position. Facing the members of the Zodiac Army, his gaze swept across each of them.
Standing at the front were the 12 Zodiac Guardians. They were also wearing spacesuits. In fact, with their strength, they could survive in space for a period of time. Qi Yue's determined gaze received their response. There was no hesitation in their eyes, even the Fatso, Guan Jing.
Behind the twelve Zodiac Guardian Warriors were the Plant Soul, Shang Bing, Xue Nu, and Christie. None of them had accepted Qi Yue's offer to stay on Earth. Since they were already here, they had already made all the necessary preparations.
Next were the members of the 12 Zodiac teams. Every member was accompanied by their envoy, the Golden Eagle. This was the most powerful flying unit in human history, quietly waiting for the Zodiac King's orders. Their gazes were very determined. Looking at Qi Yue, their eyes flashed with a scorching light.
"My brothers and friends. We are about to enter space. I only have one request for all of you. No matter what the situation is, you must listen to the team leader's orders. I swear on my life that as long as I am alive, I will do my best to protect your lives. If any of you end up staying in space forever, then I'll definitely accompany him. Do you trust me? "
Qi Yue's voice did not contain much emotion, but his meaning was clear to everyone present. The meaning behind his words was very simple. If there was anyone who died among the 130 people, he would definitely be the first to die.
"Until death." That was the only reply to Qi Yue. The eyes of every Zodiac Guardian became even more scorching. Of course, they believed in their leader. Because everything they had now was given to them by the man in front of them! Although Qi Yue was younger than most of them, in their eyes, Qi Yue was omnipotent and almighty. God's orders. They could not be disobeyed. Whether it was for themselves or for their families on Earth, every Zodiac Guardian had made up their minds to fight to the death. They were in a neat formation. The high morale made the fear and nervousness in everyone's hearts disappear.
"Okay. Get on the back. "Qi Yue ordered in a deep voice.
The 120 members of the Zodiac Guardian Team jumped on the back of their messengers. Qi Yue gave Little Peng to the four women who did not belong to the Zodiac Army. With Little Peng's huge body, it would not be a problem to carry them. Qi Yue and the twelve Zodiac Guardian God warriors did not have mounts, but standing at the front of the group, they were indeed the most eye-catching. Not only did they occupy half of the space in the belly of the spaceship, but they were also the most powerful. In terms of strength, they could also compete with the other three forces combined.
The Pope, Yummou, and Leng'Er led their subordinates and waited quietly for that moment to come. The communication device in the spacesuit was fully connected. It allowed them to contact the spacecraft at any time and get various instructions, as well as the situation of the asteroid.
"Countdown begins. Ten minutes until we enter the designated location. "
The entire belly of the spacecraft darkened, and red lights lit up around it. Layers of thick alloy doors connected to the spacecraft closed. The air pressure in the belly of the spacecraft began to drop.
"Nine minutes." The air pressure had dropped to a level that ordinary people could not bear. The spacesuit function of every expert began to activate, providing everyone with oxygen and blocking all the negative effects from the outside world.
The Golden-Winged Eagle was very quiet. As long as they could breathe enough oxygen, this level of pressure wouldn't affect them at all since they often roamed the Nine Heavens.
A faint light flickered, and Qi Yue's eyes shone. The four types of Thundercloud Force in his body began to effectively adjust. As they mixed, the Thundercloud Force floated out, and a layer of faint green light enveloped every Zodiac Guardian Team member. This greatly reduced the pressure that everyone needed to resist.
The Pope raised his scepter, and the Scepter of the Goddess of Victory also lit up in Yummou's hand. Leng'Er's Devil's Kiss released a layer of pink light. In the belly of the spacecraft, four kinds of lights were formed, and each of his subordinates was enveloped.
"… 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The belly compartment is open. Good luck."
With a loud rumble, the lower side of the belly compartment slowly opened. Suddenly, an incomparably powerful airflow swept out. In this powerful airflow, everyone's body suddenly trembled, and in an instant, they had already left the spacecraft and entered the vast and boundless space.
Under the control of Qi Yue, Yummou, the Pope, and Leng'Er, the four experts did not suffer too much of a shock. As soon as they entered space, they immediately felt their bodies lighten, as if all the pressure had disappeared at this moment. A faint light flickered, and the magnificent scenery around them immediately filled everyone's heart with shock.
In the distance, they seemed to be able to see a light blue planet. Under the contrast of that planet, the specks of starlight in the universe were so dazzling. Although there was some darkness around them, it was not enough to cover up the dazzling beauty of the universe. Every time that faint light flickered, it would give people an incomparably stimulating feeling. This was a scene that could never be experienced in space simulation training!
That light blue planet was not Earth, but Mercury, which was the closest planet to the Sun. After flying at sub-light speed for dozens of hours, they had now entered the range where they could see Mercury. However, although they could see it, they were still extremely far away from it. Their current location was the path that the asteroid had to pass to get to Earth.
The communicator in Qi Yue's spacesuit sounded. "Is everything normal? Please reply. Please reply. " According to the different battle orders, the experts on the spacecraft that Qi Yue was on were respectively led by Qi Yue, Yummou, the Pope, and Leng'Er according to their camps. Therefore, they had become the temporary military commanders, and the main communication in the spacecraft was also between them.
"Everything is normal," replied Qi Yue, after which he removed the energy protection on the members of the Zodiac Army. He realized that in space, using any skill would consume a very large amount of energy. Just the support of the Thundercloud Force for a short period of time had caused his energy to be unable to reach a balanced state. Although there were many kinds of energy molecules in space, most of them could not be withstood by the human body. They were not purely natural energy molecules, and if one wanted to absorb them, they would have to go through layers of filtration. Among the four experts, his situation was probably the best. After all, it was impossible for the others to have the energy of the source of nature like he did!
He activated the booster device on his body, and two balls of flames lit up behind him. Everyone moved closer to each other in the air, forming a united front. The spacesuits they were wearing could support a 12-hour supply of oxygen in space. According to the time, although the asteroid had slowed down, it would still pass by their position in six hours. Their mission was to launch the nuclear bomb before the asteroid passed by, accurately hit the target, and survive the asteroid's strong gravitational force as much as possible to rendezvous with the spacecraft. For them, there were two biggest problems. One was whether the nuclear bomb would be effective, and the other was whether they could survive the powerful gravitational force of the asteroid.
In the distance, a large number of white dots of light flew towards them. Even without the notification of his communicator, Qi Yue could clearly see that it was the American mecha unit with his extraordinary eyesight. The mecha's engines were fully activated, and their speed was much faster than that of people who were only wearing spacesuits. From this point, it could be seen that in this mission, the mecha warriors would have a much higher chance of survival due to their advantage in terms of equipment.
A faint light flickered, and a strong desire to fight appeared in Qi Yue's eyes. The mission had finally begun, and he had already cast aside all distracting thoughts.
The mecha warriors arrived at their destination first, and after quickly rendezvoused with the four experts on Qi Yue's side, they formed an attack belt in the same direction according to the original plan. As long as the asteroid arrived there, they would immediately launch a nuclear attack in the same direction. According to the precise calculations of the American team, their current position was about 300 kilometers away from where the asteroid would pass by. At such a distance, they would definitely be greatly affected by the asteroid's gravitational force.
