Lesser Plains of Taurus.
Today, a red alert notification suddenly appeared throughout the entire lesser plains Taurus, whether it was Common, Rare, Epic, or Unique. Anyone who had Star Watch and Star Network received it, and it instantly caused panic and confusion for those who didn't know what that was about except for the Unique Plains.
The notification was an ultimatum, and its contents were as follows.
Extinction Threat Detected in Lesser Galaxy of Taurus!
Threat: Ice Fiend Locusts - Forbidden Race of Fantastic Insects.
Urgency: Their numbers have surpassed a critical threshold, posing an existential threat to the Lesser Plains of Taurus. These ravenous creatures leave behind a chilling trail of Yin Ice, a corrupting frost that seeps into the very fabric of life. It ravages flora and fauna alike, extinguishing all who lack the resilience of their abominable race. Immediate action is imperative to prevent the Lesser Plains from succumbing to a frigid wasteland.
Extreme Respond (Blue Phase) Initiated!
Prospect: Every Living Being and Resident residing in the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus has been granted an Extreme Respond Period to deal with the Ice Fiend Locust threat before the timeline runs out!
Extreme Respond Time: 3,000 Days
Success: The Extreme Respond (Blue Phase) will conclude upon the elimination of the extinction threat.
Failure: The Extreme Respond will enter (Red Phase), lifting restrictions on the Star Ocean Boundary of the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus, triggering a Lesser Plains Reset.
Disclaimer: During the Extreme Respond Period, all obstacles to the extinction threat were removed. We sincerely hope the inhabitants of the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus can overcome this challenge before the Extreme Respond Red Phase initiates!
"Good Luck, Zodiac Plains Enforcement!"
"What in the world is this?" Veronica cried, alarmed, as she saw the red alert suddenly appear on her star watch.
"This is bad." Diminutive, who was also with her, muttered in a grave tone, "Although I read ancient texts about this 'Extreme Respond,' they weren't in such details, and that made me take them lightly. I didn't think that this punishment would be implicated in every single inhabitant of the lesser galaxy, not just those absolute factions. Furthermore, just that name of this 'Lesser Plains Reset' is chilling!"
"You're still calm?" Veronica was shocked as she grimly retorted, "It's no longer about just the conflict plains or unique plains, but the entire fucking lesser galaxy! They didn't even hide the 'Lesser Galaxy of Taurus' and revealed the Star Ocean Boundary like it's nothing. One can only imagine just how trifled these things are to this 'Zodiac Plains Enforcement' that those idiots are hiding all this time from the common public, and ironically, we are part of those idiots as well!"
Diminutive didn't retort. His heart was cold, and he knew they had royally messed up this time around because harming the conflict plains seemed to have extreme consequences that they could not even imagine.
"It's not my fault. If you want to complain, complain to your 'friend' who started all of this. Don't pretend to be like a martyr because you're not since you were in it for greed as well, just like everyone." Diminutive coldly chided before he ordered, "There is no point in fighting among ourselves. Summon everyone in the Holy Mountain Range; I'm sure Crimson would be panicking now as well. It's about time for him to show us what he's capable of!"
"Utter fools!" Asher roared out loud, creating a powerful shockwave that almost decimated the surrounding buildings despite them being made with unique-rank materials.
Furthermore, Asher was completely different from when he met Tomas and faced him. Right now, he didn't have a bullhead; instead, he was a barbarian with purple skin and white runic tattoos all over his face and body.
Without hesitation, he put the notification on the side and contacted a specific star ID.
"I reckon it's about this 'Extreme Response' fiasco?" The cold voice cut to the chase, but a hint of apprehension was deeply hidden within.
"Wow, genius! Why the hell do you think I would bother to call you? If you don't know, then let me make one thing absolutely clear: the Zodiac Plains Enforcement never kid around, and even those beings didn't dare to draw their attention! But this measly little shithole has exactly done it!
"If they say they are going to 'Reset,' this means literally 'Reset.' I don't have to tell you the implication of the Star Ocean boundary's restriction being lifted, right? At that time, whether it's you and me, no matter what kind of trump card we have, we'll be food for those damn abominations, and being devoured by them means permanent consequence.
"Lastly, even if you're a clone like me, once we show our power, our original bodies will be FUCKED! We'll instantly receive 9-star criminal status and also enter the radar of Zodiac Plains Enforcement!
"At that time, even if you have an entire galaxy backing you up, they'll kill you to make sure they won't get implicated. So, stop being so nonchalant and react like it matters!" Asher was literally roaring. He didn't know why his luck was this bad right after he met Tomas, and he cursed the old man's nine generations.
"Sigh..." The other person sighed ruefully, "I have no idea, trust me. I don't even know if they were capable of lifting the boundary restriction."
"Hah, and here you were acting so high and mighty, yet you know shit! Even I know if their conflict plains were suddenly put under threat, they would not act like bystanders anymore, but I had to admit, I wasn't expecting them to react this extremely despite this place only being a lesser galaxy!" Asher felt extreme terror because he knew if his existence were to come to light, the person who sent him here would be the first one to get rid of him, as well as the others.
"Alright, stop panicking. This isn't much of a problem as long as we get rid of the Ice Fiend Locust Race; everything will be resolved. Furthermore, we don't even need to act since others will react first.
"If they failed, we'll just take over. Furthermore, I think this is also a perfect time for you to help me. The target should also be in a similar situation and would be forced to leave, and now that he's been given so much blood, he should already be ready!" The voice coldly stated.
Asher finally calmed down as he knew he was overreacting after he saw the 'Zodiac Plains Enforcement' name and gravely said, "Alright, tell me what you have in mind. The sooner we end this farce, the quicker we can focus on this real threat!"
