The 1th Perfect Embryo Chapter Returns
Chapter 1224 The Eleventh Perfect Embryo Returns
With this strike, the Bull of Heaven kicked the three womb offspring to their deaths on the roadside.
The moment the three maternal offspring made contact, their outer defenses shattered simultaneously, the dimensional shell carried by the sixth brother broke inward like cardboard, and the contaminated fields and bone shells on the bodies of the two crowned monsters exploded at the same time.
The worst off was the sixth monster, which was directly crushed by the lightning and the power of the kingdom that exploded between the bull's horns.
Immediately afterwards, the crowned offspring of both sides on the main battlefield were also drawn in.
One of them had its outer bone armor, pus membrane, and tentacles explode in the impact, its massive body was snapped in half, and before the remains could fall, they were burned into a pile of gray-black debris in the void thunderstorm.
The situation is even worse on the other side.
At the last moment, it tried to retract its crown frame and deploy a defensive field to envelop its main body. Then, its entire head, chest cavity, and contaminated organs on its back exploded at the same time, and large pieces of dark red flesh quickly charred like wet meat thrown into a furnace.
The remaining flesh and blood of the three-headed womb offspring sprayed outwards like a torrential rain, and their informational existence was completely annihilated.
In other words, they are dead beyond any doubt, with no chance of winning the revival match. From this moment on, they are truly dead.
……
A near-frozen silence fell briefly between the Mountain Fortress and the Inscar fleet.
The sheer strength displayed by the Celestial Beetles filled them with disbelief and fear. They had certainly witnessed grand scenes and high-level battles, and had even personally built this defensive system capable of holding off two planes and dozens of smaller planes. The Mountain Fortress had given them unprecedented confidence.
The sight of the supermodel's longhorn beetle made them unable to muster even a shred of resistance.
If this thing were to turn its attention to them, it could easily whip them like spinning tops.
Their prized "mountain fortress"... while not quite a complete speed bump, it's not much better.
Just then, the Sword-class frigate that had been hiding on the outskirts of the battlefield also stopped concealing its presence.
In the void, the silver-gray hull slowly materialized.
The 1.6-kilometer-long hull stood there, and even on this battlefield where there were already a large number of capital ships and the Mountain Fortress, it still looked extremely imposing. Compared with the conventional warships in the Inscar fleet, its length was more than three to four times greater.
At the same time, the celestial beetle that had just crushed the three womb offspring raised its head slightly in the distant void, then transformed into a large stream of light and lightning arcs, layer by layer converging back towards the direction of the escort ship, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
On the command platform, an adjutant was the first to regain his senses, turning to look at Ron, his voice still carrying the shock that had not yet completely subsided.
"Commander, what should we do? Should we adjust the angle of the fortress's main guns to maintain minimum alert firepower, or should we maintain the battle formation and classify the enemy ships as high-risk targets?"
Another fleet officer immediately chimed in, speaking very quickly.
“That ship’s size and energy level are abnormal, and that longhorn beetle was clearly released from its side. If the other side suddenly switches its attack now, the consequences…” He dared not continue.
One technical officer even expressed his deep sorrow:
"Actually, it's useless no matter what we do... If the other side wants to destroy us, we have absolutely no chance to resist, not even a single chance."
Ron simply raised his hand, silencing the noise.
"Prepare a shuttle for me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the area around the command post fell silent once again.
The adjutant almost thought he had misheard and immediately stepped forward.
"Commander, you intend to go personally? This is against protocol. The enemy's origins are unknown, and their combat power is ridiculously high. They just single-handedly dealt with three mythical monsters. If there are any problems on this ship, and you end up inside—"
"I said, prepare the shuttle!"
Ron interrupted him, and the adjutant tried to persuade him again, but Ron didn't give them a chance to continue their cacophony.
He turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, his tone calm and concise.
"Stop talking. The main battle is over. If the enemy had any hostility, they wouldn't have eliminated the threat from our flanks and rear just now, let alone wiped out the three womb offspring directly."
"I'm going there now, not to gamble on luck, but to confirm something more important than this battle. Until I return, the fleet will maintain its current alert level, and the main shield of the mountain fortress will remain open. But without my permission, no one is allowed to initiate any new conflict."
Having said that, those around who still wanted to speak had no choice but to shut their mouths.
Because they could tell that their commander had already made his judgment.
Soon, the shuttle was ready.
A heavy-duty, heavily armored shuttle detached from the hangar in the belly of the mountain fortress and slowly drove out under the cover of several escort aircraft. It flew straight toward the Sword-class frigate along the safe route cleared by the fleet's firepower.
Ron stood inside the shuttle cabin without turning around.
He simply looked through the observation window ahead at the approaching silver-gray ship, his gaze calm, his back straight, his whole being like a longsword already sheathed but ready to be drawn again at any moment.
Deep within that unfamiliar frigate, a "young father" he had never met before awaited his arrival.
One tricky thing is that, due to the time flow in the Fallen World, some of the offspring are older than their father, Lao Xia.
The son is older than the father... well, that's really hard to handle.
Fortunately, the son can't beat his father, so there won't be a scene of filial piety between father and son.
……
On the other side, Xia Xiu had already seen the eleventh brother coming over.
The shuttle was steadily heading towards the Sword-class frigate along the cleared void channel. Xia Xiu stood at the front of the bridge, his gaze fixed on the approaching shuttle, and then said to Eden:
"Open access, let him in, guide him along the main passage, and bring him directly to the bridge."
[Command confirmed.]
Boarding access is now available.
[Identity of the incoming life form has been confirmed. Initiate the main passageway reception procedure.]
Shortly afterward, the shuttle successfully completed the docking.
After the hatch opened, the commander from the dual-plane and astral fleet, guided by Eden, walked through the straight and quiet corridor inside the frigate and finally arrived at the bridge.
When he entered, Xia Xiuzheng was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back. Behind him was the slowly flowing main light screen and ethereal glow. The entire bridge was unusually quiet because a high-level war had just ended. Only the system light patterns and the low hum of the engines in the distance were still running.
The moment Ron saw Xia Xiu, the bloodline response that had been subtly surging on the edge of the battlefield deep within his chest finally materialized.
The feeling was clear and direct, like some fragments that had been scattered throughout the long years and countless wars, finding their source again at this moment.
Xia Xiu looked at the last child and said with a smile:
"You've arrived."
Dorn was silent for a moment, then tentatively replied:
"I am coming."
The old father's smile widened, and he added:
"You did come after all."
Dorn: "..."
The young father was at a loss with his older son. Dorn was a little confused, but he didn't say much.
Lao Xia, who was a bit playful, was slightly disappointed. He had hoped to recreate that famous scene with Lao Shiyi. "You know who I am now, right?" he brought the topic back.
Ron nodded, then spoke, his voice maintaining its steady and restrained rhythm.
"I already know, but I'd still like to trouble you to tell me in person."
Xia Xiu didn't drag things out either.
He briefly told Ron about the perfect embryo, the lost offspring, and his purpose in coming here, making sure everything that needed to be said was clear.
After these words were spoken, the bridge fell silent once more.
Xia Xiu looked at Ron, his voice low but direct.
"Now, make your choice."
Ron didn't hesitate for long.
Or rather, from the moment he decided to board the ship himself, the answer was already decided in his heart.
And so, the commander of the Inscart Fortress civilization calmly knelt on one knee before Xia Xiu, holding his sword horizontally with both hands, offering his loyalty in the simplest yet most solemn way.
“Father, my world, my fleet, my fortress, and my people all belong to you from now on. I only hope that you can guide the Inscar civilization toward a truly great direction, so that we can not only live to guard our own borders, but also extend this order and protection to a farther place under your will.”
Xia Xiu looked at the eleventh brother kneeling in front of him and nodded with great satisfaction.
Look, this kid doesn't seem like the stubborn type.
Xia Xiu reached out and helped him up, then said to him:
"I will."
After Ron got up, the atmosphere on the bridge finally calmed down completely.
Then, Xia Xiu took the opportunity to ask about the child's experiences over the years.
Ron didn't hide anything. He simply recounted in his usual concise and steady manner how he grew up in that extremely harsh and icy world, how he unified the world, built fortresses, defense lines and fleets, and how he gradually transformed the Inscart dual-dimensional plane and dozens of surrounding smaller planes into what they are today.
After listening, Xia Xiu nodded slightly.
"For the next period of time, I will stay in the Inscart Fortress civilization to completely resolve the issue of the Fallen World on your side, and at the same time, I will contact all the children who have returned. Once everyone is here, we will work together to deal with the matter of the Old Ones' womb and the remaining Fallen World. Also, I am very interested in your Mountain Fortress. Take me to see it later. I want to personally walk through its main structure, power layer, and outer fire deck."
Upon hearing this, Ron nodded steadily without any hesitation.
"Understood, Father."
After those words were spoken, many things were essentially settled.
For Xia Xiu, he found the last child lost in the corrupt world; for Ron, the Inscart Fortress civilization he had protected until now had finally encountered a will and source higher than himself.
From this moment on, this group of dimensional fortresses, which has long been in a state of border war, will no longer be just an isolated island of civilization hanging on the edge of the world, guarding itself, but will be formally incorporated into the larger order system of the Heavenly Kingdom and the Mortal Court.
What followed was perfectly logical.
Ron did not linger on the frigate.
He came here not for a long talk, but to confirm the source of that bloodline and will. Now that the answer is clearly before him, he should naturally return to his position and complete the most crucial steps in the aftermath of this war.
Therefore, after completing the most basic father-son reunion, he quickly boarded the shuttle again and returned to his flagship.
……
……
The lights were still bright in the main command hall of the Inscar dual-plane fleet flagship.
The recent battle had left the entire fleet in a state of tension that had not yet fully dissipated. When Ron re-entered the command hall, all the officers, staff officers, and adjutants in the hall immediately stood up.
They had clearly been waiting for a long time.
Many people already have countless guesses in their minds.
But before Ron returned, no one dared to voice these speculations.
Only when they saw the commander-in-chief return to the command center, his expression still calm and his steps still composed, did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Before they could even catch their breath, they saw Ron walk to the command platform, raise his hand to signal everyone to return to their places, and then deliver the most important message.
"The identity of the person who intervened in the battlefield and assisted us in eliminating the three-headed mythical monster has been confirmed."
The hall immediately became even quieter.
Ron's gaze swept over everyone in front of him, his tone unambiguous.
"From this moment forward, the Inscart Fortress civilization will officially belong to the Kingdom of Heaven system, and Hugh Abraham will become the supreme leader above me."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire command center seemed to be put on pause.
Many people heard it clearly, but it seemed like they hadn't fully grasped it.
Belonging to the Kingdom of Heaven?
Hugh Abraham?
A supreme leader who surpasses the commander-in-chief?
Ah? ? ?
A senior adjutant who had followed Ron for many years was the first to come to his senses. He subconsciously took a step forward, his eyes filled with shock and barely suppressed caution.
"Commander, do you mean... Inscar will no longer maintain its current independent jurisdiction, but will instead be integrated into a higher-level system?"
"Yes."
Ron answered very readily.
On the other side, a military staff officer in charge of the outer plane defense chain couldn't help but speak up, clearly still trying to keep himself calm.
"That...Lord Hugh Abraham, is he the person you just met in person? And the one who controls that Heavenly Bull and that outer escort ship?"
"Yes."
Ron then dropped a bombshell, telling everyone present that Xia Xiu was his father, and the expressions on the faces of his subordinates upon hearing this were priceless.
No... ah... there's a lot of information here, they need to process it.
The eleventh brother then announced directly:
"From today onwards, the Inscar dual-dimensional space and the outer dozens of smaller dimensional defense zones will no longer be isolated at the edge of the world. We will return to the world—the real world!"
No one spoke again in the command center.
Ultimately, the people standing here aren't fools. They might be cautious, hesitant, and instinctively consider the original independence of the Inscar civilization.
But everything that had just happened on the battlefield made it hard for them to deny one thing—that the newly emerged supreme leader did indeed possess power and vision far superior to theirs.
Moreover, the new supreme leader is their boss's father...
What else is there to say? We're all family, why distinguish between you, me, and him!
And so, having won a victory in a rather muddle, and gained an even more powerful father figure, the Inskart Star Fleet returned home and announced the news to all civilizations.
Thus, the eleventh perfect embryo, Ron, has returned.
