Chapter 166 A trip home
Unknown Universe - Unknown Star System
A lush, green planet full of life
"Whoosh—BOOM—!!!" A violent explosion occurred in the forest.
"Tsk~ What a hassle, let's retreat! We'll come back another time!" Inside the cockpit of a mecha that was over ten meters tall, a young man clicked his tongue in annoyance and gave the order to retreat.
"Thump thump thump..." The order was given, and more than a dozen tall mechs began to cover their teammates as they retreated.
"Boom boom..." At the mountaintop, several massive, large-caliber, linked gun turrets ceased their attack, allowing the mechs below to leave.
"No matter how many times we come, it won't work, Federation Army." An officer looked through his binoculars at the departing mechs and said impatiently, then looked down at the village below the mountain.
"Third squad, go and take care of that troublesome village," the officer ordered.
"Thump thump thump..." More than a dozen mechs and over a hundred soldiers wearing powered exoskeletons got up and prepared to head towards the village at the foot of the mountain in another direction...
…………
Fifty kilometers from the base
"Thump~ thump~ crack~~" More than a dozen mechs covered in black smoke and damaged all over returned to the base. After the pilots opened the cockpits and got out, the logistics personnel rushed up to repair the mechs.
"Kami, send a message to the rear. Our squad is unable to take down that military fortress on its own. Requesting backup," a young man said to an older man.
"Received~" The uncle left.
"Everyone, get some rest and wait for reinforcements," the boy said.
"Captain!" A jeep pulled up.
"Captain! The village down the mountain has been attacked."
"...What about the casualties?" the boy asked, pausing for a moment.
“There’s none left alive,” the young man replied.
"...Let's wait for possible support from the rear," the boy said dryly, then left and returned to his tent.
"War, ah..." the boy sighed from his bed.
"Whoosh—~~" A strange sound came from the sky, and the camp began to commotion. The boy frowned and turned around, but the escalating noise finally made him unable to bear it any longer. He got up and went outside…
On the planet's orbit, one interstellar warship after another appeared, and they were all quite large.
"Where is the Federation's starfleet?!" the boy exclaimed in shock.
…………
Planetary Orbit - Imperial Star Destroyer Squadron
"An ordinary life-bearing planet, but for some reason, even though they've left their home planet, they're still fighting a civil war." On the bridge of the Executor-class Star Destroyer, the captain said, looking at the global information obtained from the reconnaissance by the dimensional drone in his hand.
"How do we solve this?" the adjutant asked.
"Humanity split into federations and principalities, and then used their resources to wage a war that lasted for nearly a century. It's amazing that the combined population of both sides has remained above five billion." The captain handed the data to his adjutant.
"The deep data shows that the two sides are not only fighting on the planet, but the entire star system is a battlefield." The adjutant brought over several surveillance holographic projectors, and the screens were full of various starship wrecks.
"It has good war potential. Should we take control of the high-ranking officials on both sides and then take over this planet?"
"This fleet has too few warships. While we begin constructing the World Gate, we should send a request for support to the base in space. Once the support arrives, we'll overwhelm both sides with a swarm of robots," the captain said.

Merging Universe - Star Core Hunter Planet
"Whoosh~" Inside the Star Core Hunter's base, Star walked out of the portal and immediately hugged Kafka and rubbed against her.
"Okay, okay~ I'm here~" Kafka gently stroked Hoshi's little head.
"Hmm, I'm getting into it." Xing got up, jogged into Silver Wolf's room, and pulled out a USB drive without saying a word.
"I remember you went to time travel, didn't you?" Silver Wolf raised an eyebrow.
"The person on the other side is unlucky; they fell into my controlled world while traversing a cosmic storm," Xing replied.
"I see." Silver Wolf nodded and continued playing the game.
"What are you playing?" Xing asked curiously.
"A game called Girls' Frontline that I pulled from your game library," Silver Wolf replied.
"Wow~" Xingwa made a kind of unclear "wow" sound.
"Speaking of which, what's wrong with this game? Almost all of my girls are wiped out as I push through the game. Are you sure this is Girls' Frontline and not Battle Frontline?" Silver Wolf suddenly asked Xing.
"Anyway, the dolls are still in your hands... Wow~ all the characters have been re-modified, you've really put in a lot of effort." Xing complained after looking at Silver Wolf's account.
“No, I only made some resource modifications to the game using EtherEdit,” Silver Wolf replied.
"Alright, alright~ As long as you have fun." Watching the perfect Golden Squad and the modified data values sweep through one Ironblood Squad after another, including the BOSS, Xing wanted to say something, but then she remembered that the game hadn't been released yet, so she didn't say anything.
"Speaking of which, quite a few people are interested in your game, especially that game called Azur Lane," Silver Wolf suddenly said.
"Azur Lane? Alright, I'll put it up for sale right away. Let you people from the interstellar era slowly dig into the background of this game~" Xing revealed a certain smile, and then raised his hand to put the game up for sale.
“Any other games they’re interested in? I’ll play them too.” Xing looked at Silver Wolf.
"Forget it, I'll just release all these games at once and let the players choose whether to become veteran SP players or hardcore players."
"You know how to play." Silver Wolf finally finished a map and then began to analyze the USB drive he had given her.
“There have been various problems at the edge of the universe lately, and I’ve noticed you’ve been quite busy. Why did you suddenly decide to come back this time?” Silver Wolf asked.
"There's nothing to think about, I'm back, that's all." She wanted to answer with a smile.
"Okay, let me see the analyzed video... Space Battleship Yamato?" Silver Wolf looked at Xing, puzzled.
"Huh? Let me see..." He paused for a moment, then took the USB drive, glanced at it, put it away, and handed another USB drive to Silver Wolf.
“That’s the anime I’m watching, this one is fine,” Xing said.
"...Let me take a look at this." Silver Wolf began analyzing the new USB drive. After the analysis was complete, he confirmed once again that it was a fan-made video, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"Hi~?" A lively voice sounded behind Xing, making her raise an eyebrow as she was hugged by a soft body...
"Dear Captain~? Do you have any fan art of Alicia~?" Alicia asked with a smile.
“There really is one, but let’s wait for the next one. After this one is played, it will be your fan-made song, which I consider to be your own character song.” Xing took out another USB drive and handed it to Silver Wolf.
