Tempest of the Stellar War

“Firstly, let me explain the situation. Residual substances from space element failures were detected at the scenes of the missing cases. After investigating, we can be certain that this is a kind of ultra sophisticated space transmission technology that originated from the virtual world of the Saint World.”

The room was in an uproar!

How could this be possible? Was there such a possibility? This was merely a Skylink virtual game! Even if the game was somewhat special, this was space technology!

Xiao Fei took out a Skylink. “Sometimes, space is not as complicated and mysterious as everyone thinks. So long as certain conditions are met, it can be done. The other party’s space technology is indeed more advanced than ours. But it isn’t as great a difference as you are saying. The core theory is clear. It is quite similar to space Ability X...

“The Saint World app is loaded on this Skylink.”

Just as she finished, Xiao Fei stopped momentarily and launched the app. With a soft slamming sound, a white electric light suddenly appeared around the Skylink. An image similar to the image that appeared when a subspace was broken was vaguely visible through the white light. As time passed, a wormhole that could hold a mouse appeared in front of the conference table...

Clamouring. Even Ryan could not suppress the voices from the representatives within a few moments.

“This is!”

“Can it really open a wormhole?”

“Where can it lead to? Can we perform a detection scan?”

Slam! Pa!

Suddenly, an unstable energy broke through the newly opened wormhole. The space energy instantly dissipated. The door to the wormhole disappeared together with the Skylink.

“This is just a test conducted by me. The test proves that the disappearances are related to this app.”

Many countries were aware of the underground virtual world of the Saint World. Since it only spread among the elites, there was no large-scale dissemination. At the same time, many countries were interested in the practices in the app. In addition, as it aided the improvement of the elites, even though they knew that there were some dark forces behind the Saint World, many countries, including the Milky Way Alliance, chose to turn a blind eye.

However, no one would admit to it at that moment.

“We have collected the only picture transmitted by all the missing fleets and made a comparison to the one of the area found in the Saint World. There is a ninety percent match. So there is definitely a connection between the two incidents,” said Ryan.

Ryan was the most anxious person in the entire Milky Way Alliance right now. It was fast approaching election time. Apart from all the pressure from the various major countries, these disappearances happening in the eye of the storm had definitely added fuel to the fire. If this matter was not handled well, his days were definitely numbered.

“How much time do you need to make a breakthrough, Professor Xiao Fei?”

“Chairman, my team and I will be able to connect to the other party’s program and restart the space channel in three days. But I have two points to clarify. Firstly, I suspect that the other party has deliberately left a back door. Which means that they are not afraid that we will send a team there, or they are waiting for us to send a team over. Secondly, since we are on the defensive, we cannot be certain what the situation will be like after the transmission.”

Said Xiao Fei.

Two options were currently being discussed. One was to send a fleet. The other was to enter from the Saint World. However, neither were great options as there were bound to be sacrifices. However, it would not be possible to ignore the situation. With such a serious situation, it was impossible for the Milky Way Alliance to just ignore it. It was crucial to find out who was behind what was happening.

A shadow organization? The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce? Or perhaps some country or the alliances of several countries?

No one knew.

The debates at the meeting were very intense. However, this was unavoidable as it involved the risks and gains of all the parties. The representatives were naturally arguing heatedly, especially during such sensitive times.

Xiao Fei hated all this. However, she could not help but compromise because it involved one of her students, Meng Tian. She could not just stand by and do nothing. She had to push the Milky Way Alliance into action no matter what. At least while she was around, the Milky Way Alliance would not just be all words and no action.

There were many incidents in the Milky Way Alliance every year. Although S-level incidents had many repercussions, not all of them could be resolved. To be exact, many cases remained as case files.

In the end, the option of sending a fleet was denied. The risks and the returns were completely disproportionate. The enemy could be long gone. Even if they were still around, by the time the big fleet arrived, they would have escaped. If they were to send a small fleet, the outcome would be predictable. As for sending a big fleet for attack, the implication would be massive even for the standing committee of the Milky Way Alliance to make the decision. Heavens know how long it would take for the big fleet to be dispatched.

Under Ryan’s insistence, Xiao Fei’s option was chosen. They would send warriors to investigate the situation before making the next move. In any case, non-action was impossible. As far as the Milky Way Alliance was concerned, they had to at least know who was controlling this new technology.

Xiao Fei and a few space physicists left the meeting quietly. She had absolutely no interest in the political rivalries that were to follow. Time was limited. The technical level of the opposing organization was very strong. Their core technology had taken a completely different route to the current mainstream technology of the Milky Way Alliance. She had solved part of it, like the energy transmission. The main technology made use of the conductor technology. It also made use of light to conduct electrical energy as alternative technologies.

Alternative technology for conductive energy. Most of the technological foundations of this organization were such alternative sciences.

Buzz....

Her Skylink vibrated slightly.

It was General Meng Ao of the Solar Systems Federation.

“General Meng.”

Opening the Skylink, General Meng was visibly thinner. They had lost contact with Meng Tian and had no idea if she was dead or alive. It was a heavy blow for General Meng Ao. The coldness in his expression revealed his quality as a soldier.

“Haha, Major General Xiao Fei. If I may, I would like to know a little more about the situation.”

Although he was non-specific, Xiao Fei knew that General Meng Ao wanted to know if Meng Tian was dead or alive.

If the two events were chain reactions, then the missing people had been abducted. Killing was obviously not the purpose for the abduction. Which meant that there was another purpose. If that was the case, then the disappearance of the Deep Space Fleet could also be an abduction, and not annihilation.

At the moment, Meng Ao was not a general, but a father who was looking for hope.

“According my speculation, the survival rates are high. I suspect that Saint World is behind the disappearance of the Contact Fleet. I suspect that this organization needs a large number of young people with strong battling abilities for experiments. I have no idea about the specific purpose, but they wouldn’t directly threaten their lives,” said Xiao Fei. “Meng Tian is my student. I’ll do my best!”

Meng Ao took a deep breath and nodded. “Thanks. If you need any cooperation, please feel free to ask.”

Time flew. Ryan made unprecedented, drastic changes in the strategies of the Milky Way Alliance. The opponent was also making their move. Within a few short days, the threat of war started to spread in many countries, forcing the Milky Way Alliance’s fleet to be stationed at different locations to enforce peacekeeping.

However, Ryan had a strange feeling. The opponent’s outbreak, although it brought great conflicts and threats, also exposed the powers of the organization. Furthermore, many had operated in secret for hundreds of years or more. Losing these powers merely to keep the Milky Way Alliance in a short period of chaos.

Was there a deeper plan? Or were there... other motives?

Intelligence.

That was the foundation of everything.

It was up to Xiao Fei now to see if she could find a breakthrough and enter the opponent’s territory. Only then could they gather intelligence that could help them make decisions.
