Chapter 372: 372: Sky City

Translator: 549690339

This scene was not only happening in Hua Xia, but also in other countries.

Compared to Hua Xia, the welcoming parties in other countries were much larger, especially in the New Manhattan Square in the United States.

This huge square gathered tens of millions of people, as well as government officials and Martial Artists.

Moreover, the Tianhe army that arrived in the United States was much more powerful than those in other countries.

A gigantic city nearly a hundred kilometers long was floating in the sky, covering the airspace above New York Base City.

Standing on the ground and looking up at the sky, only those with excellent eyesight could see a glimmer of light at the edge of their vision – the distant sky.

Sky City completely blocked the sunlight, and the entire New York Base City was plunged into darkness.

Such a massive flying city could not land, as it would bring disaster to New York Base City if it did.

Among the troops that came to the Solar System this time, there were six war fortresses and one Sky City.

Sky City was the most advanced flying vessel, and it truly shocked the American public.

It was as if the night had fallen, and just as the people of the United States were at a loss, countless lights lit up on Sky City.

Light elements gathered to form searchlight-like beams that scattered down at random, falling on everyone’s faces, evoking a sense of fear as if being interrogated.

The master of the mirrored space here was the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force.

Countess Diana of the Tianhe Empire, an incredibly strong female Warrior in her realm.

With silver long hair, wearing a black dress with purple dark patterns, beautiful and cold, Diana’s appearance was stunning.

However, her words were very simple, just a few sentences.

“My name is Diana, the commander-in-chief of this expedition. Now I will show you something, and after you watch it, follow my instructions. Those who disobey will be executed on the spot.”

As Sky City enveloped the sky, the situation in New York was already under her control.

With a series of harsh conditions being laid out, the once-excited American public was suddenly drenched with cold water.

It was ice-cold water, chilling them to the core.

The mayor of New York Base City and the high-level officials of the United States were all dumbfounded.

“Oh no! This can’t be real!”

“You can’t treat us like this. America is the best nation in the world. We welcomed you with open hearts.”

“Look at the attitudes of other countries, and then look at us. We called the public here and organized an unprecedented grand assembly. Just here alone, there are more than 17 million people. We all eagerly hope to join the Tianhe Empire, and we cannot just become slaves.”

“Yes, yes, at least for those of us in the higher leadership, you should give us noble status. We don’t want that bullshit poor citizen status.”

“The people of America will never be slaves!”

Manhattan Square suddenly became excited, and people started to criticize the inhumane practices of the Tianhe Empire. They claimed that this kind of thing would not work in America, which valued autonomy and human rights.

The mirrored space reappeared, and this time, a military officer was inside. He looked coldly at the crowd in the square: “So, are you saying you do not intend to follow our demands?”

“What are you! We want to talk to Miss Diana!”

The President of the United States, Brick, stepped forward. He knew that Diana was the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and did not want to talk to this officer who couldn’t make decisions.

Unexpectedly, the officer looked at Brick with a contemptuous gaze: “A lowly civilization’s native leader dares to speak to me, a knight, like this? According to the Empire’s laws, I have the right to execute you on the spot.”

Brick was not to be trifled with either, and said with a straight face, “If Miss Diana does not come out, please convey my message to her. She must agree to our following demands, or else please go back where you came from.”

As he spoke, Brick raised his hand and held up one finger: “First, all people of America must become citizens. The leadership must become nobles and maintain a certain degree of independence, including elections… Uh!”

He had only said a few words when a laser beam came down from the sky, vaporizing his body instantly.

Everything happened so suddenly that the two Star Realm bodyguards beside him didn’t even have time to react.

“They killed the President!”

“Damn it, they didn’t come in peace. Get them out of here!”

“Where is the army? The Martial Artists? They should be breaking this thing that’s blocking the sunlight above our heads!”

The unprepared American military took action.

An anti-aircraft gun was triggered by an impulsive officer, and gunfire began to shoot into the sky. There was no need to aim at all – everything within a hundred kilometers above them was the flying vessel, they just needed to fire.

As the anti-aircraft gun fired, any hopes for peace and harmony vanished into thin air.

The people gathered in the square also pulled out their guns and fired at Sky City, trying to drive away this group of people who wanted to turn them into slaves.

Suddenly, the entire Manhattan was filled with gunfire, the sound of which echoed between the sky and the ground, like muffled thunder.

Whether it was bullets or shells, or even a few missiles that were launched, none of them caused any harm to the Sky City.

A faint golden shield appeared outside the Sky City, and the bullets and shells only sparked trivial sparks on it. Even the powerful missiles caused nothing more than a small fireball to explode, and that was it.

After the smoke cleared, they couldn’t even weaken the color of the shield.

In the Water Mirror Space, the military officer laughed loudly.

“Hahaha! Ridiculous weapons, ridiculous firepower, this strength can’t harm Sky City, let alone hurt any citizen of the Empire! Low-level civilizations are just that, and since you slaves won’t listen, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson and letting you know that as slaves, the first thing to understand is to obey.”

The officer raised his hand: “Laser Cannon team, prepare to turn this entire square over within three minutes!”

A series of metal friction sounds rang out, and below Sky City, countless hidden compartments appeared, revealing dark rows of gun muzzles.

“Every time we come to a new world, we have to use this method to teach the disobedient natives a lesson, which I am actually quite tired of… Fire.”

The officer issued the order to fire as casually as eating or drinking, seemingly not threatening at all.

But in the next second, Manhattan became Hell!

Blue energy beams rained down like a meteor shower, covering the ground in an instant!

Each powerful energy ray struck the ground, blasting deep pits, and dust filled the air. Buildings collapsed, and when people’s bodies came into contact with the beams, they were vaporized instantly!

The screams of the people were as loud as air raid sirens, and the square shook violently.

People who were partially vaporized were all over the place. Compared to those whose heads or bodies had been vaporized, they didn’t know if they were lucky or unfortunate to not die immediately, but they had to endure even more pain.

Adults searched for their children, and children searched for their elders. Once they found them, they might be hit by another beam and die together.

At this moment, their lives and bodies were so fragile.

Perhaps some people would think of Lin Zhen’s warning at this time, but what was the use?

“Counterattack! Give me a counterattack!”

The Secretary of Defense issued orders with a hoarse voice.

For this event, the United States was not well-prepared. They wanted to welcome the arrival of the Empire with sincerity, so they didn’t invest much in military force.

This led to disastrous consequences. When the military’s flying saucer fighters arrived, the bombing had been going on for two minutes.

These two minutes had brought immeasurable loss to the United States. Out of the 17 million people gathered, no more than one million could survive!

Among those who survived, most were Warriors. They quickly used cover and the intervals between laser shots to dodge and jump, but leaving the coverage area of Sky City was not easy; more and more Warriors were shot and died.

As soon as the flying saucer fighters arrived, they were met with even more intense firepower.

Laser beams were fired from the muzzles of Sky City’s cannons, turning the flying saucers into fireworks.

Earth’s technological power was far behind that of the Tianhe Empire, and the United States had to face Sky City, an enormous force, with no resistance at all.

Even if some flying saucers and ace pilots could launch counterattacks, the giant metal castle didn’t care.

Within five minutes, more than ten thousand flying saucer fighters were turned into debris and fell while burning, making the scene on the square even more miserable.

But their deaths were not in vain. With the firepower of Sky City shifting, some rose into the air and headed straight for Sky City.

Those who could rise into the sky were mostly Star Realm Warriors and some Spiritual Mind Masters. Only they had the ability to survive and counterattack in battle.

Inside the Water Mirror Space, the officer coldly waved his hand: “Send out three teams to completely eliminate these disobedient people.”

From the Sky City, a group of soldiers in uniform flew out.

Their uniforms were all made of top-quality Star Artifacts!

The leader of the small team was equipped with all Holy Artifacts!

Each team had 100 people, making a total of 300 Star Realm Warriors in the three teams!

With the team leader even reaching the Meteor Stage, under his leadership, these warriors swooped down like a tiger among sheep, confronting the Warriors of the United States who had risen to the sky!

Most of the resisting United States Warriors were of the Star Realm, and a few were Spiritual Mind Masters who hadn’t reached the Star Realm. Their equipment was a mix of various Star Artifacts, and some didn’t even have a full set of Star Artifacts, let alone top-quality Star Artifacts or Holy Artifacts.

As the two sides fought, the huge gap in strength was immediately apparent.

The rebels were easily annihilated by the tactically coordinated army, breaking into fragments of blood flowers without even getting close to Sky City.

Seeing the rebels being quickly wiped out and falling like rain from the sky, the people on the ground despaired.

The mayor of New York Base City, the only high-ranking official of the United States left, stared blankly at the sky, only able to mutter one sentence: “Everything is over… Why didn’t we believe in Lin Zhen…?”
