Chapter 253 There is no cure
"Zeta, can you hear me, Zeta?"
"Is it Max? Why is he contacting me all of a sudden?"
The rapid vibrations made the Zeta Riser restless. The message from space sounded extremely urgent. Although she couldn't see the specific situation on Max's end, Zeta had an ominous premonition.
"I'm here, Max. What happened?"
"I've been dismissed, Zeta. The Space Federal Police Department is taking over this star system. Is Haruki with you? You both need to take good care of yourselves."
"What? What do you mean, Max? What exactly happened?"
The sudden, explosive news exploded in Zeta's mind, plunging the hero, who had just calmed down, into a state of tension once again.
Yixuan didn't know who Max was, but judging from Zeta's tone, he probably wasn't a bad person.
Ichih didn't choose to join Zeta and Max's conversation. Compared to Zeta's unease, Ichih sensed a large group of unfamiliar presences approaching.
"A great many aliens have lost contact after entering Planet Z. Most of them are hunters or thugs circulating in the black market, and their strength is extraordinary. However, they have all lost contact with the outside world in a short period of time, which has attracted considerable attention."
"Among all the missing aliens, there is an agent dispatched by the Space Federal Police Department. He is a Baltan alien. Have you seen him?"
"A Baltan alien? He's an agent?"
“I did see him before, but now he’s been captured by the Mage Guild and his whereabouts are unknown. I… don’t know his location.”
Behind the unexpected turn of events lies a hidden danger that has been lurking around Zeta all along. The disappearances of aliens one after another are definitely related to the Magicians' Guild.
Not only black market hunters, but even special agents have been captured and vanished by the Magicians' Guild. Muban is probably the culprit.
"The Mage Guild, is it... No matter what methods they used, you must stay away from them from now on, Zeta. Be very careful of their power; the legendary cosmic beasts may be hidden somewhere by the Mage Guild."
"How are you, Max? Are you safe?"
"I can take care of myself. You must protect Haruki and that world, Zeta. The Space Federation has sent people to investigate Planet Z. You must be careful not to clash with them, and you must keep a close eye on Celebi to prevent the conflict from escalating further!"
How long until they arrive?
"I'm afraid they've already arrived, Zeta."
Yixuan opened the window, and a vast sky appeared before Zeta's eyes, followed by a fleet of spaceships, all fully armed, clearly not there for peace talks.
The anomaly in the sky attracted worldwide attention. Giant steel ships descended from the sky, burning bright red dots as they passed through the atmosphere, and came in droves, like a rain of rockets from another world.
Humans stared blankly at the anomaly in the sky, stopping everything they were doing, their minds blank and at a loss. Just moments ago they were immersed in the joy of the celebration, but now they had to face a large-scale invasion by forces from another world.
It felt like going back ten years.
The monsters acted on their primal instincts, reacting with curiosity and fear when faced with the unknown. However, once connected to human emotions, they displayed a ferocious killing intent towards the intruders in the sky.
This is a reaction ingrained in their consciousness. From the moment they saw the invasion from another world, the monsters became frenzied and warlike, each unleashing their magical energy, wanting to attack the invaders who were still in the sky first.
Flames, fireballs, lightning, lasers. All sorts of methods were used to launch the attack. Without communication or signaling, all the monsters that had established telepathic connections with the Mage Guild went berserk.
This is an instinct from the bottom of one's heart, but also a rewritten understanding.
Muban stood on the hillside of the ruins, gazing at the distant spaceship. His eyes revealed a savage disgust, a resentment that wanted to violently tear apart any creature that dared to invade his territory.
Only I can control the world, and anyone who tries to take it from me is an utterly despicable enemy.
"Who are they? Answer me, Baltan."
"That's a spaceship from the Space Federal Police Department, Chairman Mu. It's equipped with anti-gun armor and a net cannon system, making it difficult to kill but also difficult to breach."
The Baltan aliens stood behind Muban, obeying his every command and showing no resistance whatsoever.
Muban was already used to this situation; the current Baltan were no different from the members of the Mage Guild.
There are many other beings from another world like Baltan who can be fully utilized by him. They are standing below the ruins awaiting his orders, so Muban is not afraid of the invasion of other world forces at all.
"Should we intervene to stop them, guild leader?"
"No, let the monsters consume some of the spaceship's resources first, then have the Mage Guild move in. Once the people on the spaceship are almost exhausted, you can capture them all. I want to interrogate them personally."
In the distance, the monsters, fighting desperately, launched a fierce attack on the spaceship, but were shot down one by one and disappeared into the ground.
The mortal body is powerless against the technological equipment, and Muban saw all of this, but he only cared about his own plan; everything else was just a prelude to it.
"Reporting to the Deputy Director, it has been basically determined that the people on this planet are terrorists who use bizarre magic to control the minds of monsters and use them as cannon fodder."
"The behavior of these monsters is completely irrational and does not seem to be autonomous. Moreover, we detected recorded energy fluctuations on all the monsters that attacked us, indicating that they were all monsters controlled by the Z aliens."
The arrival of the steel forces was unstoppable. No monster could withstand the combined fire of artillery and aliens. The armed and well-trained warriors far surpassed the black market hunters the Magicians' Guild had previously dealt with.
The spaceship officially appears in the public eye, the alien invasion from ten years ago reappears, and the terrifying memories of war return from the depths of suppressed hearts, effortlessly striking down the people who numb themselves with entertainment.
The reason for fleeing was the terror emanating from the depths of memory. In that era filled with despair, running away was the best way to escape disaster.
Begging, by any means, by anyone, is enough. Who can save them? What must be sacrificed to save this world?
"This is a war... a war in which there are no winners."
Zeta looked towards the approaching space fleet on the horizon, and before him appeared a horde of monsters gathering, igniting a conflict between forces from different worlds.
Zeta initially thought it was just a misunderstanding, a lie, and that as long as she treated everyone sincerely and the world with kindness, she would surely win peace.
But now, peace has been trampled into nothingness, and the sounds of gunfire and beastly howls seem like merciless mockery. The world and even the universe seem to be laughing at Zeta's naive fantasies.
"Perhaps... Haruki is right, and I am beyond redemption."
