All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Ye Fan stood guard beside the star gate, gripping his alloy dagger tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily as he awaited reinforcements from the garrison, pondering the origin and purpose of the star gate.

Just as he was about to approach the star gate again to investigate more details, the star gate suddenly trembled violently, and the pale blue light surged instantly, illuminating the entire cavern with dazzling light, making even the moss on the walls clearly visible.

An irresistible and powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the darkness in the center of the star gate, like an invisible giant hand, tightly locking Ye Fan's body and pulling him closer to the star gate.

"Not good!" Ye Fan was startled and subconsciously gripped the alloy dagger in his hand, trying to grab the protrusion on the cave wall to break free from the suction force, but all his efforts were in vain.

He wasn't wearing power armor at the moment. Although his strength had recovered, he couldn't resist the suction of the stargate at all. His body drifted uncontrollably toward the stargate, his footsteps leaving two deep marks on the soft soil.

Ye Fan struggled desperately, waving his arms wildly, trying to grab onto something to steady himself, but there was nothing around him, only the ever-increasing suction force pulling him closer and closer to the star gate.

"Damn it!" he muttered under his breath.

The suction force grew stronger and stronger, and the pulling force became greater and greater. Ye Fan's body completely lost control, and like a kite with a broken string, he was violently pulled into the darkness in the center of the star gate.

The moment he was sucked into the stargate, a violent dizziness swept over his entire body. The tearing sensation caused by the spatial distortion ravaged his limbs and bones, and the biting cold enveloped his body, causing him to groan involuntarily.

Without the protection of his power armor, his body was unable to withstand the spatial impact of the stargate teleportation. His consciousness quickly blurred, the light and shadows before his eyes twisted and overlapped, and he eventually fell into complete darkness and lost consciousness.

The tremors of the star gate gradually subsided, the pale blue light returned to normal, and the darkness in the center returned to calm, as if the suction force had never existed. Only two marks on the ground proved that Ye Fan had been here.

Silence fell once more in the depths of the cave. The star gate stood silently, and no one knew where Ye Fan had been teleported to, nor whether hope or greater danger awaited him.

Meanwhile, within the core hub of the Keloa race's home planet, the data copying work has been completed.

The two team members responsible for copying the data breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the "Copy Complete" message on the terminal screen. They had been on edge the entire time, fearing that something might go wrong and delay the mission.

"Data copy complete, transmission to mothership has begun." A team member's voice sounded tired, but he remained vigilant.

Another team member, his eyes still cold and wary, said: "Just to be on the safe side, back up the data and send it to everyone in the team to prevent data loss in case of an accident."

"Understood!" The two team members responded immediately, quickly operating the terminal to back up the copied core data, and then sent it to every member of the team to ensure that nothing was lost.

After the data backup was sent, the team members packed up their equipment. "Alright, the mission is mostly complete. Let's go to the banquet to meet the team leader and wait for the next instructions."

Previously, in order to buy time, the leader of the Shelloa pretended to hold a banquet and invited the elite team to attend. The captain readily agreed, and while attending the banquet, he arranged for his team members to copy the data, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The team members nodded, put away their weapons, maintained their defensive formation, and slowly walked out of the core hub toward the banquet venue.

Meanwhile, in the outer reaches of the home planet of Keloya, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted, and the outlines of countless ships slowly appeared in the fluctuations—the long-awaited fleet of the Origin Ridge race of the Keloya race had finally completed its jump, arrived in the Keloya star field, and successfully entered the defensive barrier.

The Yuanji sub-human race's fleet was imposing, with various warships neatly arranged, their hulls covered in heavy armor, and their cannons gleaming coldly, exuding a violent aura. Clearly, they were already prepared for battle.

At the rear of the Yuanji Subhuman fleet, several oddly shaped small warships stood out. The hulls of these warships were covered with complex energy patterns and emitted faint but strange energy fluctuations, which were completely different from the style of the Yuanji Subhuman warships.

On board these warships was a special race—the Apola.

The Apola are short in stature and transparent, with faint energy veins visible within their bodies. They lack formidable combat power but possess a unique ability—by combining a special warship's field of view, they can block all signals, whether communication, attack, or energy signals.

This race was a small group that the Yuanji Asians accidentally discovered in a primitive star field. They had always been ignored by the Yuanji Asians, after all, they were small in size and had low combat power. In the vast sea of ​​stars, they were like dust and not worth mentioning at all.

The Yuanji sub-species never imagined that this seemingly useless and weak race could play a crucial role in this crisis—their signal jamming capabilities were the key to breaking the communications of the Human Alliance fleet.

"Notify the Apola race to immediately activate the field shield and completely cut off all signals between the home planet of Shelloa and the outside world. Do not miss any signal fluctuations!" The commander of the Origin Ridge race ordered in a deep voice into the communicator, his tone cold and resolute.

"Yes, Commander!" The leader of the Apola tribe responded immediately and quickly issued orders. Several special warships started up at the same time, and the energy patterns on the hulls lit up instantly. An invisible force field slowly spread out and covered the home planet of Keloya.

Almost at the same time that the Yuanji subhuman fleet stabilized its formation and activated its signal shield, another spatial fluctuation erupted, and the Star River Federation fleet followed closely behind, arriving in the Shelluo Starfield and entering the defensive barrier.

The Star River Federation's fleet was far larger and more imposing than that of the Origin Ridge sub-race, with various advanced warships lined up one after another. Among them, a magnificent giant warship occupied the core position of the fleet and attracted particular attention.

This giant warship is the Star Federation's ultimate weapon—the Judgment Protocol-class warship.

The Judgment Protocol is the ultimate weapon of the Star Federation, which is renowned throughout the universe. With a controllable black hole at its core, it can instantly guide the power of the black hole without charging up, releasing a world-destroying suction force that can devour everything, whether it is a warship, a planet, or an entire star cluster.

The Star River Federation stands at the pinnacle of the universe, deterring countless races with its controllable black hole technology, and no one dares to provoke it easily. This time, in order to completely defeat the Human Alliance fleet and preserve the Keloa race as an ally, the Star River Federation has not hesitated to use the arbitration agreement, determined to reconcile the conflict between the Human Alliance and the demi-human race.

With the arrival of the Yuanji Subhuman fleet and the Star River Federation fleet, the Keloa subhumans' confidence instantly increased, and their attitude underwent a dramatic change—from being humble and forbearing to being arrogant and domineering, the fear in their eyes was replaced by ecstasy and murderous intent.

Outside the core hub, the Keloya soldiers who had been standing respectfully now straightened their backs, gripped their weapons tightly, and their compound eyes flashed with a violent light. They no longer concealed their killing intent and stared intently at the passing elite squad members.

At the banquet, the humble expression of the leader of the Shelloa had vanished, replaced by arrogance and haughtiness. It sat in the main seat, looking coldly at the elite team that had arrived, a mocking smile playing on its lips.

As soon as the elite team entered the banquet, they keenly sensed the change in the attitude of the Keloa race. A hint of vigilance and doubt flashed in their eyes—something was wrong. The Keloa race suddenly seemed more confident. Could it be that their reinforcements had arrived?

He remained calm and slowly walked to a seat to the side to communicate with the captain. On the surface, the captain went through the motions of polite conversation with the leader of the Shelloa, but secretly took out his personal terminal to contact the mothership, inquire about the situation outside, and confirm the activation authorization for the annihilation bomb.

Just as he opened the terminal, preparing to send a communication and transmit the final confirmation information, the terminal suddenly popped up a "signal interruption" message, and the screen instantly went dark. No matter what he did, he could not restore the signal, and he could not even read the temporary data that had been stored.

"Not good!" The captain was startled and immediately looked up, giving a wink to the team members beside him. The team members took out their personal terminals and tried to send signals, but the result was the same—all signals were cut off.

"Captain, the signal has been cut off! No matter what we try, we can't contact the mothership!" A team member reported quickly, his voice low and filled with panic.

"Not only communication signals, but our data transmission signals have also been cut off!" another team member added, a look of anxiety on his face. "We can't even complete the transfer of backup data!"

The captain's face instantly turned extremely grim, and his murderous aura surged dramatically—the complete cutoff of the signal was no accident; it must have been the work of the Keloyan race! They had laid a trap long ago, just waiting for this moment!

Without further ado, the captain immediately took out the annihilation bomb activator he carried with him and quickly pressed the activation button with his fingertips—he had to activate the annihilation bomb immediately to completely wipe out the Shellloa race, even if he couldn't contact the mothership, he had to complete the mission.

After pressing the button, the starter did not respond at all. There were no prompts on the screen, and even the power indicator light did not light up. It was as if it had become a piece of scrap metal.

"What's going on?!" The captain's heart sank. He pressed the start button again and tried several times, but there was still no response. The annihilation bomb could not be activated!

The surrounding team members, witnessing this scene, were all shocked and their faces showed despair: "Captain, the annihilation bomb won't activate! Was it sabotaged by the Shellloa race?"

"It must be them!" The captain gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent and regret. "I was too careless. I didn't expect them to be prepared. They not only cut off the signal but also destroyed the annihilation bomb's activation device!"

At this moment, he was unaware that it was not the Keloya race that cut off the signal and prevented the annihilation bomb from activating, but the Apola race brought by the Yuanjiya race—their field shield not only cut off the communication signal, but also completely blocked the activation signal of the annihilation bomb, turning the annihilation bomb into a pile of scrap metal.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!" The captain quickly regained his composure and ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone, follow me immediately to the plaza, board our ship, get out of here as soon as possible, contact the mothership, and request support!"

"Yes!" The team members responded immediately, gripping their weapons and following behind their captain as they rushed out of the banquet area. Their killing intent was fully released, instantly suppressing the surrounding Keloa soldiers.

But the moment they made a move, the leader of the Keloya suddenly let out a cold laugh and ordered the surrounding Keloya soldiers in a deep voice: "Move! Activate the defensive barriers and completely surround their ships! Don't let a single one escape!"

"Yes, Leader!" Countless Keloa soldiers responded in unison, activating their defensive devices. Pale green barriers lit up instantly, covering the square.

As soon as the elite team members rushed out of the banquet, they saw that their own ships on the square were completely surrounded by a thick defensive barrier, and no matter how they attacked, they could not break through the barrier's defenses.

"Hahaha!" The leader of the Keloya strode out of the banquet hall, stood on the high platform, and laughed loudly at the elite squad, his tone full of mockery and arrogance. "These soldiers of the Human Alliance can only wander around like headless flies now!"

His gaze swept over the beleaguered elite squad, a smug smile playing on his lips: "Hmph! I've been on guard against the Human Alliance for a while now. Sure enough, your spaceships and weapons were all rigged. Luckily, I was prepared and cut off your escape route!"

The surrounding Shellloa soldiers and Yuanjia soldiers all let out mocking laughter, which echoed throughout the square, filled with violence and arrogance, as if they could already see the elite squad's annihilation.

The members of the elite squad looked extremely grim, gripping their weapons tightly and warily watching the surrounding enemies. They were trapped in a desperate situation—their ship was surrounded, their signals were cut off, their annihilation bombs could not be activated, and reinforcements were nowhere to be seen. They were like lambs to the slaughter.

The captain's face was as cold as iron, his eyes filled with determination. He knew that breaking through today would be extremely difficult, but even if they died, they would fight with all their might. Even if they couldn't activate the annihilation bomb, they would try to buy as much time as possible to give the mothership a chance.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Shellloa Nebula, in the command center of the Titan-class aircraft carrier where Su Lan was located, everyone was staring intently at the holographic screen, their expressions solemn.

The moment the Star River Federation fleet arrived and the ruling agreement warship appeared on the screen, Su Lan's pupils contracted sharply, her face turned pale instantly, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized that a big problem was about to occur!

She hadn't expected that the Star River Federation would even bring in the ruling agreement.

She knew all too well the power of the ruling agreement—controlled black hole technology, without the need for charging, could instantly devour an entire galaxy cluster. Even if the Human Alliance fleet went all out, it might not be able to withstand the ruling agreement's attack.

"Damn it! It's the ruling agreement! The Star River Federation has actually deployed its ultimate weapon!" Su Lan shouted urgently to her adjutant beside her. "Contact the elite team immediately and have them activate the annihilation bombs and evacuate as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, Commander!" The adjutant responded immediately, quickly operating the communication equipment to try to contact the elite squad, but no matter how he tried, he could not get through; the communication signal was completely cut off.

"Commander, we can't get in touch! All signals are being blocked!" The adjutant's voice was filled with panic as he quickly reported to the commander.

Su Lan's expression grew increasingly grim. She stared intently at the holographic screen, her gaze sweeping over the vital signs monitoring interface of the elite team members—which showed that all team members' vital signs were normal and there were no abnormalities.

This made her even more confused and anxious—the team members' vital signs were normal, but they did not send any messages, did not activate the annihilation bomb, and did not issue a firing signal. The communication signals were also completely blocked. What exactly happened?

"Immediately prepare the Sixth and Fifth Legions for battle, activate all defense systems, and be ready to respond to any attacks related to the arbitration agreement!" Su Lan forced herself to calm down, quickly issuing the orders with a resolute tone. "Also, continue trying to contact the elite squads; make sure to establish communication!"

"yes!"
