[HSRGSS] Chapter 40: Five Years Later
🕑 Added 2025-07-18 00:20:49 +0000 UTCWhen Yueyu reported back to the Xianzhou Alliance, the Alliance's higher-ups immediately became restless.
"Plagues Author is enlightening all kinds of life everywhere, making those abominations endless, and now there's actually a new Emanator of Abundance... We must take this matter seriously!"
"Yes, the Shuhu Upheaval is still fresh in our minds. We must suppress them before they are ready to attack us."
"Now that a living planet has appeared, it's highly likely they'll start rallying all the abominations to form a coalition force. In another ten or twenty years... the Third Abundance War might break out."
"General Yaoguang, I'll have to trouble you to divine the coordinates of Koolur."
"General Yueyu, pay close attention while hunting down the abominations."
"As for the rest, we should prepare as soon as possible and designate that planet as a high-risk target."
A high-level meeting of the Xianzhou Alliance ended with that.
Yueyu pinched her brow, a pang of guilt gnawing at her.
She knew that the emergence of a living planet meant it was already under the control of the Abominations of Abundance.
In other words, her enslaved foxian compatriots would likely be almost impossible to rescue now.
If she had arrived a little earlier, perhaps more of them could have been saved.
'Comrades, I'll avenge you...'
Yueyu swore in her heart that she would find the traces of Koolur and hunt down every prey upon it.
And so, with rage burning in her heart, Yueyu began her campaign against the Abominations of Abundance.
===
Some time later...
"General, the scouts report that the entire Eclipse Pack has been wiped out!"
"What? Are you joking?"
"I'm not! According to the intelligence we received, the Eclipse Pack and their entire home planet have vanished."
"Unbelievable..." Yueyu was utterly baffled. "Who could possibly have such power? The Alliance hasn't even made a move..."
===
Some time after that...
"General, the scouts report that the Bloodwind Pack has been wiped out!"
"What?! Again?!" Yueyu exclaimed in surprise upon hearing her subordinate's sudden report. "They had the largest mechabeast fleet, so they should've been able to relocate the whole pack quickly, right? How could they be wiped out so easily?"
"It's true, the scouts saw it with their own eyes. A planet collided with their planet, and the Bloodwind Pack didn't even have time to evacuate before they exploded together."
"With the Bloodwind Pack's advanced technology, there's no way they wouldn't have detected a planet approaching..." Yueyu said with a deep frown. "Weird... How could there not be time?"
"They did detect it and even sent out their planet-destroyer mechabeasts to intercept the approaching planet, but it couldn't be destroyed at all, so they were ultimately destroyed along with the planet."
"You mean... It's another indestructible planet just like the one we encountered before...?"
Yueyu scratched her head, unable to figure it out.
From her perspective, everything seemed connected, yet nothing quite fit together.
Later on, every year, her subordinate would bring new reports of planets belonging to the Abominations of Abundance being destroyed.
Unfortunately, she could never find out who was behind it.
At the same time, the new Emanator of Abundance feared by the Xianzhou Alliance also remained completely silent.
They couldn't help but think that the Emanator was plotting something big.
'No way an Emanator of Abundance would destroy their own kind, right?'
Of course, this was just Yueyu's casual thought.
===
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
At this moment, Yueyu was leading the Verdant Knights and the Cloud Knights of the Yaoqing to suppress the Abundance forces on a planet called Zel.
Both fleets had assembled, locked in a tense standoff.
It was certain that the moment the leaders on either side gave the order, a space war would erupt.
"General, this time they've brought quite a few people, including high-ranking Pathstriders of Abundance. It won't be as easy as before."
One of the officers spoke to Yueyu, a note of worry in his tone.
"It's fine. I'll handle their strongest. You all just look after yourselves."
Yueyu gripped her longbow, standing proudly at the bow of her starskiff, ready to give the order to attack.
However, before she could, an enormous planet-destroyer spaceship suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
It bore unfamiliar markings, making it impossible to tell which faction it belonged to.
'What? Whose ship is that?'
Yueyu narrowed her eyes, watching the massive spaceship intently, fully alert.
'Is it reinforcements for those abominations, or has a third party come to join the fray?'
If it were a third party, that was fine—at least they would be here to kill abominations.
However, if it were reinforcements for those abominations, that would be a real problem.
In fact, the Abundance forces on Zel were also curious, wondering whose reinforcements the mysterious spaceship belonged to.
In the next moment, as both sides watched the mysterious spaceship with wariness, it moved, heading straight toward the Abundance forces.
"Hey, it's coming for us!"
Seeing the mysterious spaceship approach, everyone in the Abundance forces knew better. If it were truly their reinforcements, it would have stopped and begun firing at the Xianzhou fleet already.
Why would it just keep coming straight at them?
Not hesitating any longer, the Abundance forces opened fire on the mysterious spaceship, all sorts of weapon blasts exploding against its hull.
Unfortunately, nothing could damage it at all.
"Dammit! What the hell is that ship made of?! Not a scratch on it?! EVERYONE, RETREAT—!!!"
Seeing that their attacks were useless, the Abundance forces began to fall back toward Zel, not daring to face the mysterious spaceship head-on.
During this retreat, however, some of the slower ships were smashed to pieces as the mysterious vessel rammed through them like a bulldozing machine.
Seeing this, Yueyu realized that the mysterious spaceship was here to hunt abominations like them, so she immediately gave the order to join the battle.
If she waited any longer, she wouldn't get any spoils of war.
Besides, their Yaoqing had arrived first, so there was no way she would let all the resources of such a huge planet slip away to an unknown newcomer.
In the next moment, as the Yaoqing fleet began to charge, the mysterious spaceship opened its hatch.
Countless smaller ships flew out, charging toward Zel, and at the same time, the mysterious spaceship fired its planet-destroyer cannon, shattering the defensive shield covering Zel in a single blast.
If not for that cannon, the Abundance forces could've held out for a long time with their planetary defense tech, which would've forced Yueyu herself to act—but with just that one shot, the planet's defensive shield was gone instantly.
As a result, the full-scale assault began.
What should have been a space war was pushed straight into the heart of the abominations' base by the intervention of this mysterious force.
""Holy fire blazes bright, holy light shines forth! Together with one heart! Together with one will!""
As the mysterious spaceship took the lead in destroying the abominations, many voices suddenly resounded in unison, shouting the same slogan.
