Dimension Game Empire Chapter 079

The transport plane in the sky contained a terrifying amount of explosives. To completely eliminate Funeral Parlor, GHQ had prepared a large number of explosives on the plane. Only a few scattered black wreckage fell from the sky.

Xia Yan () jumped off the plane with Qi () in his arms. Fortunately, he jumped off in time, as the plane hadn’t flown too high. However, even with his enhanced physical attributes, jumping from this height would likely result in paralysis from the waist down.

Fortunately, Qi’s Void was powerful enough to grant Xia Yan a magic circle that allowed him to step on air. After several attempts to dissipate the force, Xia Yan landed safely on the ground.

Naturally, Gai Tsutsugami (), who jumped down with Xia Yan, was also prepared. He seemed to have brought some high-tech device, as an airbag suddenly inflated when Gai Tsutsugami fell to the ground, allowing him to land safely.

But—

No one had the joy of surviving a disaster. The fire and smoke in the sky had not yet dissipated, and Gai Tsutsugami looked at the explosion in the sky with a gloomy expression.

They had fallen into a trap.

The false information released, the heavily guarded guards around the transport plane, and the hastily taking off transport plane were all part of the opponent’s layout and plan.

To prevent Funeral Parlor from detecting any abnormalities, the soldiers guarding the plane were all elite soldiers of GHQ. Perhaps the higher-ups of GHQ didn’t even tell these soldiers the truth, letting them ‘sacrifice’ for the country without knowing it?

‘Not complicated, but a very decisive decision. If it were the usual me, I would have been able to discover this. But, because it involved the revival of Mana Ouma ()… I became… careless.’

Gai Tsutsugami thought with a gloomy face and a hint of regret. The sixty-odd elites of Funeral Parlor were capable, but almost all of them were loyal subordinates who had followed him since the Middle Eastern battlefield. Their sudden annihilation was difficult for Gai Tsutsugami to accept.

“You brat!”

Uncle Lei () grabbed Gai Tsutsugami’s collar in anger, glaring at him furiously. The Saint Dragon Union () lost half of its members, including him, leaving only three. He didn’t know how to explain this to the upper echelons of the guild when he returned.

He was even more worried about how to fight the Rose Cross () group next. Uncle Lei, who didn’t know that the Rose Cross had been completely wiped out, thought anxiously.

He attributed all of this to Gai Tsutsugami’s command errors. If Gai Tsutsugami wasn’t related to the completion of Main Quest 1, he would have even wanted to kill this self-righteous NPC.

“It was my mistake.”

Gai Tsutsugami calmly replied, which made Uncle Lei glare at him even more dissatisfied. Having lost his loyal subordinates and falling into the enemy’s trap, Gai Tsutsugami’s heart was full of frustration, and he naturally stared back at Uncle Lei without backing down.

Xia Yan, who was watching from the side, was somewhat surprised as he sized up Uncle Lei. Uncle Lei’s actions on the plane, when he realized something was wrong and instantly smashed the wall of the transport plane, revealed a lot.

Realizing the danger before anyone else reacted—this was a sense of crisis born from rich combat experience.

Muscles bulging, smashing the wall of the transport plane with one punch—this represented powerful physical qualities, or perhaps a special skill or talent like Xia Yan’s ‘Armament’?

Smashing a steel wall with one punch, even with Xia Yan’s Void-enhanced physical attributes, which were four times that of an ordinary person, was impossible. If it wasn’t a special skill or talent, Xia Yan couldn’t imagine how high Uncle Lei’s physical attributes were.

A combat-type guild leader level.

Unlike the glasses girl’s battlefield support type, Uncle Lei’s combat power was probably very strong.

‘A bit troublesome.’

Xia Yan, who planned to wipe out the Saint Dragon Union, frowned slightly. However, he didn’t feel any fear in his heart. He might not be able to defeat Uncle Lei alone, but he still had Remi () and Yuudachi () as backup.

He wondered if Remi and Yuudachi were ready now.

Xia Yan thought absentmindedly about the actions of the other two girls.

Although the three parties were in the same camp, they each had their own plans, and the scene fell silent for a moment. On the surface, the Saint Dragon Union, with the largest number of people and the powerful strength they had just displayed, was the strongest. Next was Xia Yan and Qi, and finally Gai Tsutsugami, who had lost all his subordinates.

Just then—

The direction of the GHQ military base suddenly became noisy. Faint explosions could be heard from the opposite side, indicating that chaos had broken out within the GHQ base.

Xia Yan and Uncle Lei all showed solemn expressions. Knowing the plot, they all realized that Shuichiro Keido () had escaped from prison, successfully killed Major General Yang, and regained the Genesis Stone.

He was about to take control of GHQ and use the Genesis Stone to revive Mana Ouma and launch the ‘Second Lost Christmas’.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly intense, Xia Yan had no intention of watching Uncle Lei and Gai Tsutsugami argue. He opened his mouth to persuade, “Whatever it is, let’s talk about it after this is over. We’re on the battlefield now, and the enemy won’t wait for you to finish arguing before coming over.”

Taking Xia Yan’s words as a way out, Gai Tsutsugami and Uncle Lei found a reason and regained their composure. Gai Tsutsugami looked at the turmoil in the GHQ base, revealing a thoughtful expression. After considering for a moment, he slowly said.

“This turmoil should be Shuichiro Keido’s plan.” As Shuichiro Keido’s adopted son, Gai Tsutsugami said with certainty, “That man is a viper lurking underground. There’s no way he would just be locked up in prison like that.”

“Perhaps the reason he locked himself in prison was to let Major General Yang and our Funeral Parlor fight each other, so he could reap the benefits. Only when we fell into Major General Yang’s plan did he reveal his fangs.”

Listening to Gai Tsutsugami’s analysis, Xia Yan nodded as well. Funeral Parlor had fallen into Major General Yang’s trap, and the complacent Major General Yang had naturally become lax. And at this moment—Shuichiro Keido usurped power.

“Without thorough preparation, the extremely scheming and cautious Shuichiro Keido would not have made a move.” Gai Tsutsugami slowly said, “This coup will definitely be his victory in the end, and we must act as soon as possible.”

However, before Gai Tsutsugami and Xia Yan could explain their next plan of action.

A wave swept over them.

What was this?!

The five people present instantly looked towards the GHQ Roppongi () base headquarters.

“Ah…”

Gai Tsutsugami let out a cry of pain, as purple crystals suddenly emerged from his neck. He endured the pain, looking in disbelief at the source of the wave just now.

“Too fast… the Genesis Stone… has already… been activated.”
