…
The player community was sent into a frenzy immediately after this planetary-wide announcement was released.
Due to the atmosphere of the Planet for the past few days, the players already had guesses that a battle would start any moment but it was still surprising.
The sight of the hull of the Golden Cicada penetrating the atmosphere of Planet Darvis, followed by the other Battleships in his entourage, and the sight of Planet Darvis' Destroyers emerging, it was already ingrained in their brains.
Yes, that was still not the climax of today to them, the climax was when Champion Onana finally made his debut on the battle alongside his mech.
The power displayed by Silver Surfer was unlike anything they've experienced before. They were not only fascinated, they were awed.
'Holy Sh*t man! Mechanics are so cool!'
'Why didn't I start in a Beginner Planet with the Mechanic class?'
Despite the amount of players that focused on the fantastical elements of Battleships engaging in battle for aerial supremacy, the others like the pro players paid more attention to the planetary wide announcement.
'Storyline defining mission? What does that mean?'
'Does it mean the progression of the story can change depending on the outcome of the battle? Does that also mean we can affect the outcome?'
Instantly, they could already detect a change compared to last Version. Unlike Version 1 where they were more like spectators, like was just specified, if they played their cards right, they had the opportunity to influence more.
They were hyped, this was exactly what players like them loved.
'It is much more fulfilling to feel like we can also control things'.
'When we can't affect as much, the fun reduces'.
'As for now, let's get experience points'.
Shortly after the players joined the raid in their crazy numbers, they got exposed to the special goodies that were prepared for all the warriors defending Planet Darvis from the powers of the aliens.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
War raged across the cities of Planet Darvis as the battalions of the Nak Navy went on a rampage across the whole city, killing and causing destruction.
Of course, due to President Shanks' foresight, having planned for scenarios like this, no civilian was killed yet as they were all safely locked in the bunkers where they could only hear and feel the tremors of the raging battle.
It was the warriors that bore the brunt of the Nak Invasion.
Even as the Nak warriors invaded the streets, brave Superhuman warriors from all over Planet Darvis did not hesitate to engage them in battle. Despite their taller and more intimidating physique, humans were not to be trifled with.
The battle raged intensely as the raid continued in the cities.
The only problem was, only Grade D and below were in the city streets.
After what happened to Core Protector Daemon, all the Grade C Superhumans remained in hiding even as Champion Onana kept on wrecking havoc. The Mechanic was a one-man army, he could not be stopped.
With his mechanic suit, he was a walking disaster bomb.
While the battle raged intensely, from their different bunkers and hideouts, President Shanks finally called all the Grade C Superhumans to a virtual meeting.
All of them had sullen and grave looks on their faces as they looked on.
No one talked, not even President Shanks as they all inclined their faces to look at Legolas. Having bailed them out of a desperate situation once, in this moment when they needed another miracle, they looked towards him.
Heimdall's face turned serious. "Can you replicate that moment again?"
Legolas shook his head. "I'm not sure".
"I may be able to do it but I don't want to take the risk. The lives and things at stake at this moment are too much for me to make such a gamble".
"If I fail to replicate it, we'll likely all die".
"We need to find a more full-proof and reliable plan".
"There is no reliable plan!" One of the Grade C Superhumans reacted.
The introduction of a Grade B Super already completely offset their tempo. Most of them still had not lived past the traumas of 5 years ago when Grade C Superhumans were slaughtered like pigs by Norman.
They no longer wanted to relieve such a moment in their lives.
"We should surrender, we stand no chance before them". One of them finally suggested as all eyes turned to look at him in shock.
He didn't flinch. "We stand no chance, fighting him is suicide".
"Our best chance of survival is to surrender".
"And you think they'll let us leave so carefreely?" Legolas turned to glare at this Grade C Superhuman. "You know what I think they'd do if we surrender?"
He raised a finger. "The light scenario, we'll be left alive to leave as lesser individuals in an era where our civilians turn into slave".
"The bad scenario, we'll also be turned into slaves".
"Yet, you know what the worst-case scenario is?"
"…" They kept quiet and listened.
Legolas smirked. "Despite surrendering, they kill us nonetheless to avoid leaving any ties that could come back to haunt them in the future".
"If I was them, I would do the same thing".
"So, do you have a plan?" President Shanks looked at him.
Legolas rubbed his chin. "I need to think".
"We can no longer win this the easy way that I thought, we can only win now or even draw if we are able to come up with a clever unconventional plan".
He closed his eyes and drowned in his thoughts and experience.
A few seconds later, Legolas' eyes snapped open and they glowed.
"I think…, I may have found a plan".
