DPM Chapter 97-Powerful Light
Translated by Snowfall77

 

 

Since Mozun and Wu Xingyun planned on going to the Milky Way border, Liu Meng naturally handled the logistics. He prepared their route and made sure they had weapons. However he did have misgivings, which he expressed to Wu Xingyun.

“Brother Yun, you……you sure you want to go with him?” Liu Meng was strongly urging Wu Xingyun to stay behind. “Let Mozun go on his own. It’s not like he can die. You promised to celebrate my eighteenth birthday with me……even if it’s been over two thousand years, you should honor your word!”

Mozun graced Liu Meng with a very twisted glance. Sometimes he thought he should throttle the younger man……If only there weren’t so few mutants.

 

 

Wu Xingyun left Mozun and Liu Meng to talk amongst themselves while he searched the warehouse for suitable equipment. Taking a long time, finding something appropriate was harder than Wu Xingyun had anticipated.

Originally he’d wanted to bring a protective Ghost soldier suit. But the only one the warehouse had was the one torn up by Mozun on their wedding night. And the other combat suits were low-grade and not particularly useful.

There was a Federal military uniform. Wu Xingyun picked it up and put it back down repeatedly. Finally, after much hesitation, he settled on basic pants and shirt.

 

 

When Mozun and Wu Xingyun walked together towards their commercial ship, they made an incongruous pair. One was tall, stern, and mysteriously chilling. The other looked rather plain and dull, although his clothes were fussily tidy.

Needless to say, when they went to board, they were treated differently.

Wearing a hat and sunglasses, Mozun was directly passed through security.

Yet Wu Xingyun was searched for contraband, causing him to be exceptionally gloomy.

“They inspected me, fine, that’s the rules. But why didn’t they check you?!” Wu Xingyun fumed from the injustice.

Mozun laughed: “Because your man is a mad overbearing demon. I can’t hide what I am!”

Wu Xingyun itched to strangle Mozun. Of course when Wu Xingyun tried, he was unsuccessful. Instead the end result was him getting fucked by Mozun.

 

 

The ship soon quickly passed from Alliance territory to Federation territory. It would be stopping three times along the way to restock supplies.

Knowing that the Federation was a shadow of its former self thanks to Mozun, Wu Xingyun had expected the planets in Federation space to be in a bit of disarray. However things proceeded in good order, with no apparent looming disasters.

After a stroll through a port, Mozun couldn’t help slightly lamenting: “The Federation isn’t completely without its positives. Developing for thousands of years, growing a large population. It has some advantages.”

“From what I can see your new territories are managed very well too,” Wu Xingyun told him.

Showing a smile, Mozun found there was no more intoxicating feeling than having your lover praise you.

“Things would certainly be better in the future.” Wu Xingyun expressed his matchless confidence. “At least you take back the bodies of your fallen comrades. You don’t leave them for the enemy to dispose of.”

Mozun reached out a hand and rubbed Wu Xingyun’s head: “I like the Federation’s style……because they sent you to be by my side.”

Later, back on the ship, Wu Xingyun once again came to the realization that he really should speak less—otherwise he just ended up getting hit with more papapa.

 

 

A month later, the ship stopped near the border, refusing to fly any further. That strange things were happening there was already a matter of hearsay. The Federal government hadn’t officially acknowledged it, but the rumors were everywhere, saying that the border was now something else’s domain, impassable to humans.

Wu Xingyun and Mozun stole onto a Federal base and misappropriated a small ship. From there, they intended to go the red sandy planet that Wen Nuo had been evacuated from, only to find themselves thwarted.

The Federation had sealed the border and any ship hoping to pass beyond the blockade needed proof of Federal government permission.
Mozun didn’t want to start trouble, although going on without a ship wasn’t practical. Therefore they abandoned the small ship they’d ‘borrowed.’

Then Wu Xingyun, taking Mozun’s hand, ceased expending the energy to make himself visible. As Wu Xingyun gradually faded from sight so did Mozun. Taking advantage of their invisibility, the two snuck onto a Federal spaceship, holing up in a machinery repair room.

After jumping through two transmission points, the large spacecraft made it to the genuine edge of the Milky Way. Quickly making a smoothly coordinated arc, it nestled into its allotted spot amongst the ranks of hundreds of Federation ships.

With Wu Xingyun’s invisibility, no one could see or detect either him or Mozun. So they had sometimes gone to the ship’s command room to look out the portholes. Although making sure they only spoke to each other when they were alone.

But now that the ship had reported for duty, Mozun and Wu Xingyun made their back to the command room, observing the ship captain’s commands and signals, as well as the previously unseen strange, baffling things emerging from the depths of the cosmos.

In the boundless night stars twinkled like crystals, adorning heaven’s vault, while in the endless distance a kaleidoscopic purplish-red nebula swirled.

 

 

Into such a quiet universe an army from the other side abruptly revealed itself.

A gleaming gold spaceship, formed with divinely perfect curvature, the exterior giving off a faint blue light, and surrounded by twenty strange mecha.

The alien ship halted about ten thousand meters away. It leisurely unfolded itself, the fuselage slowly stretching out until what looked like a golden lotus appeared, radiating far and wide a vaporous white mist.

Maybe no one else on the Federation side was familiar with that kind of white fog, however Wu Xingyun and Mozun were. Seeing it again shook them to the core.

The thick Saer fog that had cloaked the sun, had decimated the Earth, was no different than what they were witnessing now thousands of years later.

 

 

The mecha rapidly entered the mist, before multiplying their size in an instant. Their velocity was beyond frightening. In the blink of an eye, they’d crossed the distance of ten thousand meters, confronting the Federal battleships.

In each mecha’s hand was a blazing light blue sword. The mechas raised their weapons, and Federation ships were cut to pieces, exploding into dusty debris, consigned to float lost and broken.

Twenty mecha, destroying hundreds of ships in a second. The speed……the power……the surviving humans were left breathless.

“What is it?! What is that?!” The captain of the Federal ship Wu Xingyun and Mozun were on was helplessly shrieking: “Is it from the Demon Army?”

An adjutant answered: “No…….the indicators are nothing like the Demon Army.”

“Aaaahhh……” Screams and empty droning from other ships came through the intercoms.

The command room in complete chaos, no one detected Wu Xingyun and Mozun’s whispered conversation.

“That thing……it looks monstrous. Do you think it’s alive?”

Mozun shook his head, then indicted a bright white spot far off in the distance: “See that? What is that?”

They both strained their eyes, yet were unable to identify it.

However, using range to calculate, it should be—a shining body, roughly the height of a one person.

As soon as the luminous body appeared, the gold alien mechas ceasing their battling and prostrated themselves in worship to the glowing thing like it was their ruler……

 

 

The moment the mecha ceased their attack, a man’s unperturbed tone came over the Federal ships’ intercoms: “Attention all ships, move center. Aim on and fire at the enemy at 135 bearing.”

It was Wen Nuo’s voice.

Followed by his face appearing on a screen in the ship’s command room.

The facial expression was very calm, polished by years of experiencing the vicissitudes of life. A face that engendered trust.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just twenty enemies and a point of light. We’ve fought against the Demon Army for untold years. An army a hundred times worse than what we’re facing now. We didn’t flinch then. We won’t flinch now. So don’t be afraid! We can defeat the Night Shard and the Demon Army, and we can defeat this new enemy!”

Glancing at Mozun even though he couldn’t see him, Wu Xingyun murmured: “Apparently your enemy has a high opinion of you.”

There was a small movement of air next to Wu Xingyun. He could only guess what gesture Mozun had made.

The surviving ships obeyed Wen Nuo’s command, opening fire at the designated bearing. The worshipping mecha made no move to defend themselves and were quickly blown into fine powder.

Wen Nuo was shocked, Mozun surprised. Both men individually finding it completely unexpected that the mechas would disregard their own life or death in their worship.

The dazzling light was getting closer and brighter. The ship Wu Xingyun and Mozun were on was ordered to the front. There, Mozun could finally see that glowing thing did in fact appear to be a person.

The person’s face couldn’t be deciphered, yet the body was almost naked, displaying a perfect meld of power and beauty.

“Damn, that……it’s a person……Someone who can sail the universe without aid……” Wu Xingyun exhaled slowly, again instinctually turning his head to look at his invisible lover.

Wasn’t the Night Shard also such a person?

“I want to go and have a closer look,” Mozun muttered.

 

 

Wu Xingyun agreed and the two men precipitously left the ship, exiting out a side cabin. Together they flew towards the blinding white person.

Getting nearer, Mozun could clearly see that the light person had both hands slightly raised, between which an electrical current was being generated.

Sssss……The strange sound pierced Mozun to the innermost part. He might not be able to make sense of everything, but he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt what the light person wanted to do.

Those movements, that sound……Mozun had made the same motions and sound himself. Every time he wished to use his unique skill—a gamma ray burst.

Now Mozun was absolutely certain—the thick Saer fog on Earth thousands of years ago, the book he’d practiced from, they had indeed originated from this newly encountered alien race called Saer.
