Chapter 1084: The Quantum Cloud
Chapter 1084: The Quantum Cloud
Amidst the profound depths of the cosmos,
a fleet was rapidly sailing.
Aboard the flagship, within the control room.
Star Sand draped herself in a translucent black veil, allowing her fiery, alluring figure and the subtly hinted curves to be tantalizingly exposed.
"Target. . . Crab Star System!"
She took a deep breath and issued the command.
In her heart, a trace of suspicion lingered.
During the calamity that befell Emperor Star, Star Sand had fortunately been away, narrowly escaping the disaster.
"Imperial Brother Zoro is actually so confident he can seize the throne?"
Recalling the Sixth Imperial Prince's earlier orders, Star Sand felt a ripple in her heart.
Under Zoro's command, she led a fleet to clear out potential threats for him.
Originally, Kaya was certainly not among the targets.
But a sudden piece of news prompted her to deploy immediately.
"Kaya actually ascended to the Neutron Star Immortal level?"
Star Sand still found this intelligence hard to believe.
Alas, this was news transmitted by Barbaro, the warden of the Crab Fortress.
An imperial prince at the Neutron Star Immortal level was enough to challenge for the throne.
Thus, under Zoro's command, she had come nonetheless.
"Contact Barbaro."
Star Sand commanded.
A holographic figure immediately materialized, standing three meters tall with greenish-blue skin, a fierce countenance, and countless scars crisscrossing his face like centipedes.
"Your Imperial Highness. . ."
Barbaro bowed first, his gaze fixed on Star Sand's graceful form, his eyes seemingly carrying a hint of infatuation.
"Kaya. . . where is he?"
Star Sand spoke.
"He's right here in the Crab Star System, near Alpha Star. . ."
Barbaro quickly replied.
"Good, I'll be there shortly."
Star Sand closed the communication, her expression slightly dazed.
It seemed that only a few years ago, she had tried to win Kaya over, never imagining that he possessed talent surpassing even Sato's!
When Sato died, he was still at the Red Giant Immortal level.
And Kaya, now he was already at the Neutron Star Immortal level!
This created a significant gap.
‘It seems as though all sorts of inexplicable things have been cropping up in recent years. . . ’
Star Sand let out a faint sigh.
...
Above the dark neutron star, within the fortress.
Barbaro had just closed the communication, when his expression suddenly changed.
Pfft!
A sword suddenly protruded from his chest.
"How is this possible? My body, actually penetrated by a sword?"
Barbaro, a Neutron Star Immortal, found it utterly unbelievable: "And this sudden attack. . ."
Gravitational force erupted around him, and a terrifying power instantly annihilated the space fortress.
A dark neutron star materialized, then transformed into Barbaro's likeness.
"Hm?"
Fang Xi, holding the Neutron Star Sword, was slightly surprised: "You actually didn't die. . . No. . . that last sword strike didn't pierce your star core. . ."
At this moment, he was clad in verdant robes, exuding an immortal aura and noble demeanor, appearing in the youthful form of his true self.
What he held in his hand was precisely that Neutron Star Sword!
This was his greatest inheritance from his previous life.
As for the 36 million anonymous account deposits, they were practically nothing compared to the imperial prince's 100 million in funds and the amount he later borrowed.
‘Hmm? Speaking of which, the Imperial Bank's headquarters are on Emperor Star. If it's destroyed this time, does that mean I don't have to repay my loans? ’
Fang Xi's thoughts inexplicably drifted.
This time, he had first brought Wenge to inspect stars, then secretly returned, originally eyeing the neutron star here.
But he hadn't expected to find an unexpected bounty!
Since this Barbaro had betrayed him, he shouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
Opposite him, dark secret patterns emerged on Barbaro's body, his expression ferocious: "Who are you, daring to kill an Imperial Warden General?"
He secretly rejoiced, fortunate that he belonged to a special race in the cosmos, possessing a unique talent to conceal his life star, otherwise, that last strike would have already grievously wounded him.
"I, I am naturally a pirate!"
Fang Xi chuckled, and with a sweep of his flying sword.
Clang!
The Neutron Sword erupted with an unimaginable sword light, and terrifying gravitational force enveloped everything.
Even more terrifyingly, within that sword light, inexplicable elements seemed to be carried, as wisps of law power emerged, distorting even space itself.
The surroundings seemed to transform into a cage, where even light found it difficult to escape!
"Spacetime Concept? Black hole characteristics?"
Barbaro was instantly filled with utter horror.
Where did this monstrosity come from?
With the Spacetime Concept, wouldn't ascending to a Black Hole Immortal be incredibly easy?
Before the thought could fully flash through his mind, his head flew off again.
Such Neutron Star Immortals, who only knew to 'smash with brute force', could be easily dealt with by Fang Xi, wielding a Neutron Star Sword of the same caliber.
Not long after, a dark neutron star emerged.
Barbaro's life star, combined with Fang Xi's neutron star, and the one beneath his feet.
The three neutron stars performed an irregular three-body dance, then rapidly approached each other, beginning to devour one another. . .
Everything in this star system continuously converged towards the center, ultimately gathering upon Fang Xi's Fire Feather Star.
The dark neutron star subtly shifted, transforming back into Fang Xi's appearance.
‘Sigh, from today onwards, the Empire's best ascension ground for Red Giant Immortals is gone. . . ’
He sighed, yet felt no compunction whatsoever.
The Lanikainia Empire belonged to the Phoenix clan.
As an imperial prince, he possessed a natural right of inheritance.In the words of his previous life, this was akin to "a son stealing from his father is no thief at all!"
‘Thinking about it this way, it seems I was indeed too merciful. . . ’
Fang Xi transformed into a streak of light and arrived before another star.
This star had several planets revolving around it, none of which harbored intelligent life, forming a small stellar system.
With a shift of his body, he instantly transformed into a neutron star, beginning to greedily devour everything. . .
...
Emperor Star.
A quantum cloud enveloped more than half of the planet, obscuring all that transpired within.
One after another, patrolling space pirate ships suddenly exploded.
Zoro was followed by Nietzsche, and several immensely powerful Black Hole Immortals, as they gazed at the now mysterious planet.
Among them was the former Dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, who had been suspended from his duties.
"Did we. . . do something wrong?"
"Contacting the Zerg and the Star Beasts, and then having them introduce the Five Great Pirate Fleets. . . Emperor Star is virtually ruined. . ."
An elder of the imperial clan showed a trace of reluctance.
"If not for this, Liwei would surely break through to the realm of a Universe Unifier, reducing our very existence to naught. . ."
Liwei Phoenix, that was the true name of the Universe Great Emperor.
Nietzsche snorted coldly: "Your Highness, it's time to make a decision."
"Imperial Father's condition. . . hasn't been confirmed yet?"
Zoro inquired.
"His Majesty the Emperor was besieged by five Black Hole Immortals and entered a state of quantum entanglement with them. . . The quantum cloud now covering most of Emperor Star is the manifestation of their struggle. . . This can already be considered a cosmic marvel."
Nietzsche said: "Unless we break through again, perhaps from a higher-dimensional perspective, we might be able to observe this great battle. . ."
"Since that's the case, I'll trouble the Dean to use the weapon and destroy Emperor Star. . ."
Zoro waved his hand, speaking as if unconcerned.
"Emperor Star, being a colossal planet several light-years in diameter, can indeed serve as a target. . . but drawing in cosmic tides and setting up the array is quite complex; it will require three cosmic days. . ."
An elder with a beard sweeping the floor replied.
"Then we'll wait three cosmic days."
Zoro said: "Having the five great sovereigns of the Cosmic Sea buried alongside Imperial Father wouldn't be a bad outcome. . ."
...
Three cosmic days later.
Crab Star System.
Star Sand's fleet hovered near the neutron star that had turned into nothingness.
"Barbaro is actually dead?"
Star Sand's face was filled with disbelief: "Who killed him? Could it be Kaya?"
"According to Barbaro's last transmission, it was an unknown Neutron Star Immortal. . . suspected to be a space pirate. . ."
A subordinate reported.
"Space pirates are like bugs; they can pop up anywhere."
"The one capable of killing Barbaro should be a veteran Neutron Star powerhouse, not Kaya."
"Never mind that, where exactly is Kaya?"
Star Sand hadn't forgotten her most important mission.
"According to intelligence department news, Kaya has already reached 'Heaven's Tear Star'. . ."
A subordinate immediately reported.
The Sixth Imperial Prince Zoro had gained the support of numerous imperial magnates, even the intelligence department had directly defected.
Investigating these matters was exceedingly convenient.
"Heaven's Tear Star?"
Star Sand immediately saw the description: this was a heavy metal planet, 90% of which was composed of gold, platinum, and other metals, along with vast quantities of diamonds.
"What is he doing there?"
Star Sand carried a hint of doubt.
In the cosmos, gold and diamonds were not considered commodities of excessively high value.
Furthermore, Heaven's Tear Star, as a planet rich in mineral resources, had long been eyed by the Empire and acquired by the Royal Mining Company.
Theoretically speaking, even the imperial family could not intervene.
"Never mind, it's close by, set off immediately!"
Rumble!
A fleet swiftly plunged into a starfield, arriving near Heaven's Tear Star.
"Found him. . ."
When Star Sand saw Kaya's spaceship detected on the scanner, a trace of joy immediately appeared on her face.
But the next moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
...
Emperor Star.
Rumble!
Two colossal supercluster groups collided, triggering a cosmic tide that surged like a torrent, washing over Emperor Star.
This cosmic tide was several dozen light-years high, easily submerging Emperor Star.
Vast, endless rays swept through, causing Emperor Star to continuously fragment and disintegrate. . .
Countless imperial citizens were annihilated in ashes at this moment.
That quantum cloud also seemed to be swept up by the cosmic tide, vanishing instantly. . .
After the tide subsided, everything returned to peace once more.
"The quantum cloud has vanished. . ."
Witnessing this scene, a trace of joy quickly flashed across Zoro's face.
"All energy fluctuations have disappeared. . ."
The Dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences sighed in lament: "Your Majesty. . . is gone!"
"Immediately notify all major star systems of the Empire, announcing the passing of His Majesty the Emperor and the ascension of the Sixth Imperial Prince Zoro!"
"Long live the Empire!"
"Long live His Majesty Zoro!"
A group of people cheered.
Suddenly, everyone's joyful smiles froze on their faces, as if scenes from a stagnant play!
Went to the hospital today, update is late, sorry
