Sky-cracking Rider

"16 'Wormhole Clouds,' 2 at Special Level, 2 at First Level, 6 at Level Two, and including the one on the Ocean Continent, 6 at Level Three."

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" dutifully recorded the evaluation results of Miyoshi Xuesen and directly presented them on the Blue Star's three-dimensional holographic projection.

"Well said, Master Miyoshi, you're incredibly skilled!"

Chen Fei smiled and gave the monk a thumbs-up.

This sly bald man indeed had some skills, expertly detailing the locations of the 16 'Wormhole Clouds.'

"Just a simple analysis, nothing worth mentioning. Is there anything else?"

The monk cocked his chin slightly, full of pride.

Chen Fei said directly, "That's all, thanks for your hard work. 'Adam,' organize what Miyoshi just mentioned along with this projection and package it to Mr. Louis Landon."

Confidently taking Miyoshi's work and sharing the intelligence with another big shot in a blatant manner.

"Louis Landon? The CEO of Louis Industrial Company?"

We had a traitor among us. Miyoshi Xuesen's proud expression stiffened a bit. This isn't right!

He had worked so hard and wasted so much saliva, only to put in the effort for someone else's benefit. Now, all the credit went to someone else, and he also wanted to cling to this powerful figure but had no chance.

Amitabha!

This grudge, this monk will remember and repay one day.

"That's right, I'll remember your contribution."

Chen Fei nodded, indicating he would not forget Miyoshi Monk's hard work.

I don't believe you!

The monk returned to his small space, kneeling down to calm his anger...

"This monk is somewhat useful!"

Yan Ling held a skewer of grilled gluten, sprinkled with red spices, took a bite, and said.

It seems she genuinely liked barbecue. Her storage magical device was always loaded with grilled fish or meat, and now something new appeared.

She suddenly pressed her miniature earpiece, seemingly communicating with someone, occasionally nodding, and finally said, "I got it!"

Putting her hand down, Yan Ling looked at Chen Fei and the monk who was secretly watching her from afar and said, "I received new instructions, stay on standby, and continue..."

After pausing, she said, "Continue guiding the 'rookie!'"

The previous guidance task was to set up a fishing net to catch all the larger fish in the lake outside the camp, and grill them on-site with an automated mechanical assembly line.

This task required a number sign.

Neither Chen Fei nor Miyoshi Monk found anything wrong with it.

As an S-Class special ability user with strategic-level talent, the so-called guiding of these unorthodox 'tasks' was perfectly normal.

Who knows what fresh local creature would be unlucky enough to be the next 'task.'

Despite all the sweeping done by the monsters falling from the sky, this sudden ecological disaster did not completely wipe out the local life forms.

After a rain, countless grasses quickly sprouted, and the barren land was soon lush and green again.

The most direct evidence was the fish gathering in the newly formed lake, with fish big and small, and some crustaceans, numbering no less than a thousand. Rock crevices and underground rivers in the caverns sheltered surviving creatures.

In unscathed areas, animal populations began to migrate spontaneously, filling the void in the natural ecosystem. Within three to five years, the flora and fauna would recover to their former glory.

Not long after the S-Class special ability user finished her communication, Chen Fei received several video links from the command center communicator, seemingly real-time footage.

The coordinates were marked in the top left corner of the screen. 'Adam' identified those coordinates and matched them to the Blue Star holographic projection.

Chen Fei projected these video links onto the bridge, displaying seventeen videos in total. Except for one map of land and sea surface of the planet, the rest were of 'Wormhole Clouds' scattered globally, captured from multiple angles.

The Blue Star sovereignty responded immediately, quickly locking down all 'Wormhole Clouds.'

"Are they going to eliminate those 'Wormhole Clouds'?"

Miyoshi Monk quickly guessed the sovereigns' intention.

Having locked down these invasion conduits, the next step should be to eliminate them.

Two frames split apart, showing outer space scenes. In the giant space matrix beehive framework on near-Earth orbit, a marked hatch slowly opened, projecting a beam to the atmosphere.

Fine space particles created a Tyndall scattering effect, making the beam appear intermittent.

The next half-frame showed the 'Wormhole Cloud' being hit directly by the beam, right in the center of the black cloud.

Adjacent to the beam-projecting portion of the space matrix framework, another hatch flashed a shadow. A high-speed camera captured the image, showing a slender cone hurtling toward the atmosphere. Its trajectory, calculated precisely, followed a curved path, aided by the planet's rotation, and aimed directly at the 'Wormhole Cloud.'

"They actually used space-based weapons!"

Miyoshi Xuesen gasped.

Space-based weapons on orbital platforms required signatures from all five sovereign powers for activation. They were the most efficient ground-strike weapons, even superior to ballistic missiles. The multiple signatures clearly indicated pre-approval.

Ballistic missiles had to send warheads to near-Earth orbit, fly along the atmosphere's edge, and strike designated targets. Space-based weapons launched directly from orbit, faster both in distance and speed. Depending on the weapon type, their combat effectiveness varied, but like ballistic missiles, they were unstoppable weapons of mass destruction.

"It's the 'Wormhole Clouds' over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!"

Chen Fei confirmed the locations of the split frames. The Blue Star sovereigns, like him, ranked the threat levels of the 16 'Wormhole Clouds' and decisively eliminated the most dangerous two.

Identifying the locations and tracking the trajectories of the space strikes, AI "Adam" updated the information on the planet's three-dimensional holographic projection, offering a clearer view of the entire space weapon strike process.

Element Annihilation Bombs loaded on space-deployed warheads blossomed into large blue lights, engulfing 'Wormhole Clouds.' The devastating power even reached sea levels, causing massive wave surges.

The regions over the open sea, unattached to any continents, were resolved by ordinary means, leading to immense effort but no efficiency.

Using space-based weapons seemed overkill, yet it was the quickest and neatest method, eliminating the targets in under an hour.

Even if some monsters adapted to the saline aquatic environment and slipped through, sending a few aquatic magical beasts to sweep up the remnants posed no issue.

In another video frame, a flash of blue light obliterated a black vortex cloud, the blue light engulfing everything — the black cloud, monsters, and melting permafrost, disintegrating all with power far surpassing Chen Fei's previously unleashed 'Dragon Slayer Missile.'

The power of Element Annihilation Bombs varied, with the largest enough to destroy a metropolis. Present sovereigns' active weapons technology hadn't shrunk to match the private military contractors' capabilities, featuring at least a half-century technological gap.

Private contractors attempting rebellion with their insignificant arsenals was a joke.

"The 'Wormhole Cloud' over Tiberia is gone too."

Soon, Chen Fei confirmed the third vanished 'Wormhole Cloud' from a vast snowy landscape, likely eliminated by a long-range ballistic missile deployed Element Annihilation Bomb, as no local ground or air units were dispatched.

Three of the 16 'Wormhole Clouds' were eradicated within minutes, the efficiency of the Blue Star civilization's destruction outpacing the parasitic species' opening of 'Wormhole Clouds.'

Once a decision was made, the sovereigns executed without hesitation.

Owing to the availability of Element Annihilation Bombs, present sovereigns wield unparalleled power. In Louis Landon's past life, the destroyed Blue Star Civilization initially lacked such weapons, hence couldn't curb the 'Wormhole Clouds' surge, leading to their downfall. Eventually acquiring Element Annihilation Bombs was too late to reverse their decline.

Miyoshi Xuesen pointed to another video, "Crystal Jets deployed, targeting the Cape of Good Hope's 'Wormhole Cloud,' from the Antarctic Continent, probably."

Having participated in Antarctic operations, he knew the place's conditions well.

The 'Wormhole Cloud' over Antarctica was destroyed using Element Annihilation Bombs, but sovereign troops remained. Deploying from there to Cape of Good Hope was more cost-effective than using space-based strikes or ballistic missiles.
