Chapter 275: Capturing the King on the Battlefield

"Our flagship… has been captured…"

"We… what kind of monster are we fighting?"

Panic spreads through the Celestial Wolf Fleet's communication channel.

In the observation room of the Bittern Empire, a deathly silence reigns at this moment.

All the councilors stand frozen in place, as if struck by a petrification spell.

On their faces, composed of light particles, the emotion wave called "fear" appears for the first time.

"Miniaturized controllable singularity weapons… they have already mastered this technology…"

"And not only that, they can execute such large‑scale, precise coordinated operations…"

This means their systems, battlefield data links, and technological content have already been outmatched by us.

"This Yanhuang Civilization… they are not a Third-level Civilization! They are entities masquerading as a Third-level Civilization!"

Emperor Bijialie, whose body is composed of pure energy, flickers with intense light.

He watches the screen, where the slowly dragged Greedy Wolf is being pulled, and the ageless calm in his eyes finally shatters.

For the first time, he doubts his own "Invite the Lord into the Jar" plan.

Has he summoned a group of manipulable pawns, or a prehistoric beast capable of overturning the entire board?

On the battlefield, the Greedy Wolf has been fully dragged into the encirclement of the Heavenly Sword Fleet.

One hundred thousand pitch‑black warships surround it, leaving no escape.

Zhou Shaoqing's holographic image appears on the chaotic bridge of the Greedy Wolf.

A cat‑playing‑mouse grin spreads across his face as he looks at Lang Xiao Tian, slumped on the commander's throne, his face ashen.

"Commander Lang Xiao Tian," Zhou Shaoqing says, his voice full of mockery, "Now, what else do you wish to say?"

Lang Xiao Tian slowly lifts his head; the arrogance and anger have vanished, leaving only endless despair and incomprehension.

"Why… why is it like this…"

He mutters to himself, as if questioning Zhou Shaoqing, yet also himself.

"You… how did you achieve this? Why has your technology advanced so rapidly?

And your tactics… that damned guerrilla warfare…"

His once‑proud invincible fleet, a force he has revered for tens of thousands of years, appears laughably feeble before this mysterious and mighty unknown enemy,

so utterly ridiculous and vulnerable.

"Want to know the answer?"

Zhou Shaoqing's smile narrows, replaced by a bone‑deep cold murderous intent, "When you descend into hell, go ask your god."

"No! You cannot kill me! I am a subordinate civilization of the Bittern Empire, aligned with you!

Your attack on me is a declaration of war against the great Bittern Empire! You will pay for this!"

Lang Xiao Tian roars with a trembling, desperate tone, trying to invoke the Bittern Empire's name to save his own skin.

"Declaration of war?"

Zhou Shaoqing seems to hear a cosmic joke, "From the moment you entered our territory under the banner of purification, the war had already begun."

"This is the power of the people; the game is over now."

Having spoken, he turns and issues the final command to his fleet.

"All Heavenly Sword warships, target the enemy flagship 'Greedy Wolf'!"

"Quantum entanglement bombs, prepare—"

"Fire simultaneously!"

The order is given.

One hundred thousand quantum entanglement bombs, faster than light and ignoring all distance and physical defenses, at the moment of launch,

already appear inside the massive hull of the Greedy Wolf, at every critical energy node and core control hub.

Lang Xiao Tian watches the internal schematics of his flagship, the countless spontaneously appearing light points, and his eyes hold only endless despair and remorse.

He parts his mouth, as if to say something.

But there is no longer any chance.

Boom—!!!

One hundred thousand quantum entanglement bombs, simultaneously, release the terrifying energy capable of tearing subspace.

This is not a conventional explosion.

It is a destructive strike originating from the deepest material structure, from space itself.

The Greedy Wolf's hull, forged from special material able to withstand stellar explosions, at this moment is like ice plunged into molten lava.

From within, it silently, swiftly vaporizes, disintegrates, and annihilates.

On the bridge, Lang Xiao Tian and his officers, not even a single scream, are reduced to fundamental particles.

Their consciousness, lives, everything,

are utterly erased from this universe before this absolute force.

A brief 0.1 second.

The super flagship, bearing the highest honor of the Celestial Wolf Civilization and representing the pinnacle shipbuilding of an advanced Third-level Civilization, vanishes.

This scene, via the battlefield's quantum communication network,

is clearly transmitted to the bridge of every Celestial Wolf warship.

All Celestial Wolf soldiers stare blankly at the empty void on the screen.

Their flagship, their commander, the pillar of their spirit…

…just like that, gone?

Dead silence.

It enveloped the entire Sirius Fleet.

Then came total collapse.

"Flagship... the flagship has been destroyed!"

"Commander... died!"

"We... we lost..."

"Surrender! I surrender! Don't kill me!"

The will to fight completely collapsed at this moment.

Countless Sirius warships began shutting down their weapon systems and sent surrender signals to the Yanhuang Civilization's fleet.

Some warships even tried to turn around and flee.

But within this space-reinforced 'Iron Wall Prison,' any attempt to flee was futile.

What awaited them was the Interstellar Liberation Vanguard Army's barrage, surging like a tide.

A one-sided massacre opened its curtain within the Godfall Star Region.

Inside the observation room of the Biteen Empire.

The atmosphere had frozen to the freezing point.

All the members of parliament dared not believe this result.

They witnessed with their own eyes how the ship Greedy Wolf was instantaneously vaporized from within by a weapon they could not comprehend.

Quantum Entanglement Bomb...

This term kept echoing in their minds.

This is a weapon that exists only in the conceptions of their empire's cutting-edge theoretical physicists.

A weapon that uses quantum nonlocality to ignore any defense and detonate directly inside the target!

And now, this weapon that existed only in theory has been unleashed by the Yanhuang Civilization, which they had always regarded as a mere pawn and the source of the virus.

It was thrown straight in their faces.

"What... what kind of monsters are they?"

A member of parliament's voice trembled with uncontrollable fear.

Bigele stared at the screen, at the spatial ripples left by the annihilation of the Greedy Wolf, and the confidence in his eyes that once commanded everything began to crack.

He was wrong.

He was wrong to an absurd degree.

He thought he was the player and the Yanhuang Civilization the pawn.

He thought this was an experiment he could control at will, a drama he could watch from afar.

But now he realized he was not a player at all.
