Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 655

The thought of a powerful opponent gave Dimalis' lips a curve . He knew that if Patroclus were here, he would relate to his excitement .

The immortals were too powerful for humans to fight back, so the campaign against the weak humans was nothing but entertainment for the Divine Lord . However, Wong Tong was a different story; he was mysterious and immensely powerful .

How was he able to command the asteroid belt and inflict so much damage? Did he use a secret weapon given by the Blade Warrior or was it a power of his own?

Based on his performance during the fight against the dark lord, Dimalis wagered that among the immortals, only the Divine Lord himself would be able to subdue Wang Tong .

In order to evolve further, the immortals needed a powerful opponent . Without Wang Tong, the immortals would have stopped that process a while ago . The thought of continuous evolution brought him a sense of helplessness for those among the ranks of the immortals who would not make the cut during the next evolution wave .

From the list of names who were involved in the operation on Mars, Dimalis could easily tell that his mission also served as a house cleaning . If Harmon had brought all the divine generals with him, he would have already achieved his mission months ago .

Humans, as it turned out, would play a key role in helping the immortals to further their evolution and complete the next stage of metamorphosis .

Meanwhile, on Mars, the human soldiers were celebrating their victory in space . With the complete annihilation of the Zerg fleet, the Martians were finally liberated .  

"This is unbelievable! I knew this day would come, but not so fast!" Zambrotta muttered out his surprise . The Zerg spaceships lurking above his head had kept him awake on many sleepless nights . The Zerg fleet was huge in number and had formed a blockade around the red planet . Even with the new large fleet that the Martians had just built, they would sustain huge casualties trying to break the encirclement . As the Martian warriors were ready to fight against the deadly enemy fleet, Wang Tong had eliminated the entire Zerg fleet with one fell swoop .

How was that possible? The Zerg fleet boasted over hundreds of thousands of heavy battlecruisers . But before the asteroid storm, the ships were akin to driftwoods in a boundless angry sea .  

Lie Jian curved his lips and said, "Anything is possible for this guy . Now, it is time to show them our power . "

"The Sect will assist you in your attack!" Susu announced firmly . The Divine Mastery Sect had spared no expenses in the fight for the Martians' liberation . The Sect was created to safeguard peace on Mars from the start, so it should fulfill its duty when it was most needed . The guiding principles of the sect made it so that even if the last member of the sect were killed in the battle against the Zerg, the lives that were lost would be redeemed by the memory of their heroic deeds and what it stood for .

It was not uncommon for groups to deviate from their founding ideologies as fame and wealth mounted . However, Michaux and his predecessors were not concerned with worldly possessions, and therefore, had remained steadfast in their course . It was fortunate for the Martians to have the Sect fighting for them; the sect members were not only powerful, but also faithful to their belief . In part, the Sect's honorable reputation had helped it to swell its ranks, particularly during the time of hardship such as right then .

The thought of the Sect's unswerving faith and filled Lie Jian's heart with awe and respect . Wealth, fame and power, Michaux cold have it all, but he had forsaken them by choice . Anyone who thought that Michaux was an idiot for not taking advantage of his abilities was a fool himself .

How much did the worldly possessions worth when he had won the hearts of millions of Martians? A wise man used to say that to command the world, one needed first to command the populace's hearts . That being said, Lie Jian was convinced that Michaux would have scarcely thought of using his influence to manipulate the public and further his personal benefit .

After spending much time with Michaux, Lie Jian found himself affected by the Divine Master's altruistic mind . The Martian prince conceded that in order to see things clearer, he should seek moral high ground and re-examine the reality through the clear scope of altruism .

Lie Jian's selfish past was what slowed him down, but he still had a chance to adjust his world view and catch up with Michaux and Wang Tong .  

"House Lie will donate all of our family assets . " Lie Jian announced firmly . "We are humanity's last hope . There is nothing to come back to if we fail . "

Susu cast a surprised glance at Lie Jian . "That is rare coming from you . "

"Haha, am I really that selfish in your mind?"

Everyone laughed out loud, and Zambrotta nodded approvingly . The prince of Mars had finally started to see things from a different perspective . Zambrotta knew from the outset that his leadership was only transitional; the world belonged to the young people . But first, they would have to win it back from the Zergs .

"The War God's knights will follow House Lie's good example," Zambrotta announced .  After setting the example, the leaders of Mars started to rally the Martian public, and the public answered with their whole-hearted support .  

"What a stubborn little sh*t! Why couldn't he be more like me?" Zachery hovered in the air and muttered with concern flashing in his eyes .  

"Mr . Wannabe, is master going to be OK?" Charcoal asked .

"Haven't you scanned everything? Why do you ask me?"

"My sensors can't detect soul energy yet . "

"Don't worry, he always comes back . Sometimes, challenges are what make the humans great . Without challenges, your young master would never advance his cultivation . " Zachery smiled . He knew that if he could crawl back from hell, his disciple, Wang Tong, should be able to handle the minor challenges in life as well . Ever since Zachery regained his memory, he could feel that he was advancing toward the state of super Einherjar every day, and he started to see things much clearer .

"I wish I could be a human . " Charcoal exclaimed .

"Be careful what you wish for . " Zachery put in .

"What should we do next?" 

"Balls! This little sh*t took from neither Li Feng nor me . He is unique in his own ways . Perhaps that is for the better, but I suppose that we will be busy for the days to come . "

Zachery didn't expect himself to be ever more restless after having regained his memories back than before . The past was the past, and only today and tomorrow mattered . No longer did he dawdle in his old memories as he looked forward to a brighter future for his adopted son . The Pirate King was back after hundreds of years, and his power was growing like he had wished it would five hundred years ago . However, he no longer harbored the ambition of claiming the world for himself, for he himself had become less important: his life was all about Wang Tong now .
Zachery and Charcoal flashed out of space as quietly and undetected as they had arrived .

Inside a spaceship, Wang Tong laid asleep in a bed . Beside him was Samantha who cuddled Wang Tong in her arms . Samantha stroke Wang Tong's face gently with a thumb and reflected on her past . She had achieved her dream and became one of the most powerful women in the human world . But what should she do next? Looking back, she reckoned that there had been no right or wrong choices in the past . She had left Wang Tong while she knew she couldn't have really lived without him; she left him not because of herself, but because she loved him and leaving him was the best option for both of them . After a while, Samantha pulled her mind out of her reverie and slunk out of the room before the sleepers woke up .

Xiao Yuyu and her fellow sect medics were the first ones to get out of their beds since they had the lowest amount of soul energies . Eyes glinting with a newfound energy, the improvement in their sea of consciousness was palpable .

"I have never felt more alive before . " Wu Ling exclaimed .

"Same here! My sea of consciousness is full!" Linda chimed in .

"I feel it too . My soul energy has grown significantly . And everything seems so . . . familiar . " Ye Zi agreed . "How did the battle go?" She asked .

"A total victory!" An officer reported to her as he looked around at Ye Zi's alluring features .

There were various versions of explanations as to what had happened; some said that Samantha had used a secret weapon, and some believed that Wang Tong and six other casters had evoked the asteroid storm using mastery .

"Thank you! How are the other casters? "

"You mean Wang Tong, Michaux and Guan Dongyang? They are still sleeping . The Admiral had issued an executive order to ban anyone from disturbing your recuperation . How are you feeling right now?"

"Oh, I am fine now! Please let admiral know that I am ready to return to missions . "

"Yes, Madam!"
