Bai Ningxiang saw Bai Shizao say this, and secretly sent a message to He Xingzhou: "It’s a sure thing!"
He Xingzhou smiled slightly; he himself was still aboard a command ship in outer space near Mars.
On the Mars battlefield, the Zerg’s momentum had dissipated, leaving only the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
At this time, on Blue Star.
In outer space near Blue Star, Space Port No. 3 was bustling as it refueled spaceships. These spaceships would serve as temporary supply ships, transporting nuclear fusion materials and ammunition to the warships on Mars.
In outer space, a patrol satellite was flying when a beam struck it, destroying it.
"Patrol satellite F-447 has been destroyed, warning, unknown enemy situation detected!" The Sky Net Satellite System sent an urgent alert to the command center.
"Enemy attack in the direction of Space Port No. 3, escort ships proceed immediately!" Qiu Hong had just received the good news from Mars and thought all was well, but didn’t expect enemies to attack them.
Several escort ships immediately headed towards Space Port No. 3, which also went into full alert, with defensive weapons prepared, and various space drones and space mecha dispatched.
From the shadows, a gigantic creature flew in at thirty percent of the speed of light, moving incredibly fast and possessing a powerful plasma protection layer.
The plasma cannons from the spaceport hit it, but were unable to break through the plasma protection layer.
This creature, like Noah Insect King, was also a High-level Planet Dominator! Its level of evolution wasn’t as high as Noah Insect King’s; it was just one notch above a Medium Planet Dominator and seemed to have just recently evolved into a High-level Planet Dominator.
"Plasma Aggregation Beam!" Inside the spaceport, the nuclear fusion reactor was fully activated, sending energy into the plasma weapons.
Several plasma beams merged into one, penetrating its plasma protection layer in an instant, scorching its skin and flesh, injuring it.
A proton missile also hit it, causing significant damage. If it were a Basic Planet Dominator, this single proton missile would have been enough to kill it!
This creature still retained some combat power, and despite its injuries, it relied on its strong life force to withstand the attacks, charging into the spaceport, where its energy beams destroyed everything in its path!
In just a few seconds, Space Port No. 3 was reduced to rubble!
Below, on the space station and space elevator, operations were urgently halted. The space elevator lost its counterweight and fell from space, prompting residents on the artificial island below to seek shelter.
"Encircle it, don’t let it escape!" Qiu Hong shouted angrily as a group of escort ships arrived, launching a frenzied attack on it.
While not the main warships, they still had the home-field advantage.
A large number of space weapon modules flew out from the Moon Base, combining into plasma aggregation beams and space electromagnetic guns, among others, to attack it.
Hundreds of proton missiles locked onto it for an attack.
The giant beast seemed not to have anticipated that in just a few short years, humanity’s defensive capabilities would have upgraded to this extent.
With so many weapons attacking it, its plasma protection layer couldn’t remain intact for even a second. It was hit by several proton missiles, leaving its body critically injured.
The giant beast had wanted to continue destroying other space structures, but seeing itself injured and overwhelmed by human weaponry, it turned and fled, flying into the depths of space!
"Chase it, don’t let it escape this time!" Qiu Hong shouted, "Prepare the tracking fleet!"
Learning from previous experience, they had prepared a tracking squadron composed of several L2-class reconnaissance ships.
Once a giant beast attempted a surprise attack, this fast-moving tracking squadron could swiftly pursue it.
In space, several reconnaissance ships immediately chased after the giant beast.
The giant beast’s original speed was faster than theirs, but after forcibly destroying Space Port No. 3 and being injured by human weapons, its speed decreased significantly, allowing the reconnaissance ships to closely pursue it.
The giant beast made no attempt to turn back and attack, understanding that if it did, it might destroy a few more human warships but would ultimately perish in space.
It continued to flee desperately, with the tracking fleet closing the distance between them.
One of the ship captains, Ji Xingguo, asked for instructions: "Commander, the enemy is within our ship’s attack range; should we eliminate it?"
"No!" Qiu Hong said, "Just keep it in sight, observe where it flees, and eliminate it when it retreats!"
"Yes!" The chasing warships maintained their speed, deliberately pursuing it at a steady pace.
Each time the giant beast attempted to escape, hoping to evade pursuit, the human warships would accelerate slightly to catch up.
In this back-and-forth, the fleet had already distanced itself from Blue Star, even flying past Mars’ orbit.
This continued for about three hours until the fleet reached Jupiter’s orbit.
"Captain, Jupiter is right up ahead," a crew member reminded, "continuing the pursuit could be dangerous!"
Ji Xingguo was also aware that Jupiter, being the Solar System’s largest planet in terms of mass, must have many Zerg on it.
He cautioned, "Eliminate the target immediately! Deploy reconnaissance satellites!"
The signal from Blue Star to Jupiter would take half an hour, so they needed to rely on their judgment and couldn’t rigidly request instructions at this point.
The warships began to accelerate, launching attacks on the giant beast.
After hours of a frantic escape, the giant beast was already severely weakened. When the plasma weapons and proton missiles struck, it barely had the strength to resist and was quickly killed.
"Target has been eliminated!"
"Our ship has entered Jupiter’s orbit."
"Return immediately!" Ji Xingguo commanded.
"Return immediately!" The warships began turning around when suddenly, powerful energy reactions appeared around them.
