Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 192 - 6: Mars OL Speed Edition! Athena: For Yu Jin! _2
Chapter 192: Chapter 6: Mars OL Speed Edition! Athena: For Yu Jin! _2
“Your Highness, please calm down!”
A Fallen One spoke up.
BANG—!
The words had just left his mouth.
He was sent flying, life or death unknown.
The rest of the Fallen Ones saw this, their hearts pounding, utterly terrified.
This Highness…
Just as the legends say—violent temper, wildly unpredictable.
Buzz—!
Suddenly.
The projection screen before the youth quivered slightly.
On the screen, the previously pitch-black light spot suddenly glowed bright.
This is…
Hub 11, lost.
Its ownership shifted from the Fallen Camp to Human Camp.
“Ah!”
The effeminate youth called “Highness” let out a shrill scream.
His previously handsome face twisted into utter ferocity.
“Despicable, lowly humans!”
“You deserve death!”
The youth raged, while the Fallen Ones kneeling on the ground didn’t dare make a sound.
After a long while.
The youth’s curses finally ceased.
From his pitch-black eyes—no hint of white—the killing intent was palpable.
“The leaders of Human Camp have made their move.”
“Such disregard for rules, so audacious a leader…”
“Excellent. You have completely enraged me.”
The youth swept his hand, beginning to deploy forces.
His countermeasures were simple, brutal, direct.
“Summon all Fallen Squads!”
“Head to Hub 13 at top speed!”
“Wait for that reckless human leader to step right into the trap!”
…
…
Mars Desert.
Yu Jin unfolded his Light Wings, whistling as he swept across the sky above the ground.
He was alone now.
The guides were gone.
Because—
The captain of Human Camp at Hub 11 had no knowledge of other hubs’ locations.
This left Yu Jin somewhat helpless, so he could only explore solo, searching for the locations of other energy hubs.
[K-2 Planet (5/20)]
“Fifteen hubs to go.”
“Shouldn’t be too hard to find.”
Now, Yu Jin was Tier Six Limit Breaking, able to activate Tier Six Ability: Coordinate Imprint’s Awakening Effect.
Though restricted by Wasteland OL rules—unable to return to Blue Star from Mars—
On Mars, long-range teleportation was still no problem.
Teleportation comes in two types—
First, with precise coordinates.
Second, coordinate-less directional teleportation.
Yu Jin’s move—coordinate-less directional teleport.
He picked a random direction and prepared to search along that way.
“East, advance!”
Yu Jin willed.
Buzz—
Space rippled, and his figure vanished from the spot.
After a few consecutive teleports, Yu Jin discovered—
He arrived at the far side of Mars.
Here, it was night.
Across the boundless, pitch-black desert, the distant light source stood out glaringly.
“Energy Hub!”
Yu Jin was elated, teleporting again.
Buzz—!
Half an hour later.
Under the guidance of ’Fireball’.
Yu Jin gained another energy hub.
[K-2 Planet (6/20)]
“Keep going!”
…
…
Time passed slowly.
Half a day went by.
Yu Jin, on the far side of Mars, conquered hub after hub.
The deep night greatly improved his efficiency in locating hubs.
But what he didn’t know—
Hub 13.
Over ten thousand Fallen Ones were gathering there.
And here, it was daytime.
“Ah!”
Inside the hub camp.
Fallen One leader, the effeminate youth, utterly lost his composure.
On his projection screen, one black dot after another turned bright.
Energy hubs that once belonged to the Fallen Camp kept falling!
And all those hubs were on the far side of Mars!
The far side was his main base!
He’d moved ten thousand Fallen Ones here to wait for prey—yet…
All the crystals were stolen!
“2:18! 2:18!!”
Across Mars, a total of twenty energy hubs, now only two belonged to the Fallen Camp!
Just two pathetic hubs!
Apart from his Hub 13, only Hub 01 remained.
And that hub—
Was also on the far side of Mars.
With his army’s speed, it was impossible to reach for reinforcement quickly.
Buzz—!
The projection screen rippled.
Wasteland OL notified: Hub 01 lost.
2:18 was a thing of the past.
Now greeting the Fallen Camp—’1:19’.
This situation…
Let alone a young Federal Highness—even an ordinary Wasteland OL leader, couldn’t be so miserable!
Bear in mind.
This was just the first day, the first day of the war phase!
“Your Highness, shall we still wait…”
“Should we attack first, reclaim a few surrounding energy hubs?”
BANG—!
The Fallen One who made the recommendation was sent flying.
…
…
Mars Desert, central camp.
Inside a small palace, Athena was in total shock.
On the projection screen before her, nineteen bright dots flickered!
Only Hub ’13’ remained completely dark.
“19:1…”
Athena was utterly dazed.
Even as the Federal Speaker’s heiress, she never imagined such a start.
The sorrow between people never connects.
Fallen leader’s mindset collapsed, while Athena drifted in a dream.
“Yu Jin, Yu Jin…”
Athena murmured the name again and again.
From Don Flack and Tasha, she’d already learned the ’genius’s name.
Through their descriptions, Athena deduced—
Yu Jin’s Limit-Breaking Talent had reached an unbelievable, record-breaking height.
2%? 3%?
Such high Limit-Breaking Talent—never before in Ophelia Federation’s millennia-long history.
Athena never imagined Wasteland OL was bugged, or Yu Jin was cheating with modded parameters.
In her view, that was absolutely impossible.
Wasteland OL spans the entire universe, covering countless Civilization Federations.
Civilizations far above Ophelia—Level IV, V, even VI Federations—are also participants in Wasteland OL.
The only difference is—
They access higher-grade servers.
That’s all.
So—
Bug? Cheating?
Impossible, utterly impossible.
Athena never even considered it.
Though 2% and even 3% Limit-Breaking Talent is miraculous, it’s not totally impossible.
“Yu Jin!”
Athena recited the name again.
Now, the outcome of Mars OL no longer mattered so much…
The only thing she wanted was to find Yu Jin, recruit him!
No, perhaps ’recruit’ wasn’t the right word. Athena even wanted to become his companion, his friend…
Such a genius with super high Limit-Breaking Talent—even as a mere V-Class Citizen—Athena could easily use her Federal Heiress status to give him any identity, status, wealth, power he’d ever need…
“Hoo—”
Athena took a deep, deep breath.
Her heart was beating faster than usual.
The feeling—it had been so, so long since she’d felt it.
“Miss Athena!”
“All squads assembled!”
“Ready to depart at any time!”
Her personal female guard entered the palace, reporting respectfully.
“Good.”
Athena replied.
A moment later.
She stepped out of the palace.
In front of her were tens of thousands of human Limit Breakers in a massive swarm.
“Target—”
“Hub 13!”
“Full army advance!”
Athena’s orders spread through every corner of the central camp.
Soon after.
BOOM—
RUMBLE—!
The ground vibrated.
More than ten thousand human Limit Breakers marched together southwest.
Athena stood in mid-air, Divine Light Wings glowing behind her.
Her beautiful eyes gazed into the distance, filled with anticipation and underlying worry.
She’d already guessed—
The Fallen army, including the leader, had all gathered at Hub 13, waiting for Yu Jin to walk right in.
But Athena marched with her army not to capture the last hub or secure victory ahead of time in Mars OL.
Her purpose was that man.
Yu Jin!
