Chapter 298: The Worst Deployment

The report shows that the Empire's information system has just, from the central database, 'accidentally' discovered a segment of top‑secret communication data from the Ke Luo Empire.

This data stream is extremely weak, extremely concealed, and even protected by multiple encryption algorithms employed by the Ke Luo Empire.

But the Bi Te En Empire's information system, after receiving Bi Jia Lie's order, conducted a carpet‑scan of all data with the highest clearance, and still discovered its existence.

More importantly, this data stream contains a large amount of fragmentary data concerning the core technology of the 'Singularity Generator'.

Although these data are incomplete, they are sufficient for the Bi Te En Empire's scientists to deduce a shocking truth.

The Ke Luo Empire is truly developing a 'Singularity Generator'!

They are really brewing a black‑hole plan capable of destroying the Milky Way Galaxy!

"Your Majesty!"

The Information Councilor's voice carried a hint of anxiety: "Our analysts have already conducted a preliminary deduction based on these fragmentary data."

"If the Ke Luo Empire's Singularity Generator is successfully manufactured and successfully deployed……"

"Our imperial capital star and the surrounding dozen or so core star domains will, within just a few hours, be gravitationally distorted and then completely devoured by the newly formed small black hole!"

Boom!

The Information Councilor's words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, instantly exploding in Bi Jia Lie's consciousness core!

His body, composed of pure energy, shuddered violently.

In those eyes, which had remained calm for ten thousand years, the emotion of 'fear' appeared for the first time!

Destruction!

True destruction!

Not the kind of proxy war that can be controlled and calculated, a 'game'.

But the complete annihilation of civilization!

"Emperor Ke! You are truly mad!"

Bi Jia Lie let out the most furious roar!

This time, the Ke Luo Empire means business.

They have completely abandoned all reason and limits, seeking to destroy him and the perfect empire he built with the most primitive and violent means!

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

The Civilization Councilor's voice trembled slightly.

"All of our glorious legions are still engaged in a war of attrition with the Ke Luo Empire's proxies."

"If they discover our core is empty, they will immediately tear through our defenses and charge straight in!"

"If we now recall our fleets, the entire Eastern front will instantly collapse!"

"But if we do not recall our fleets, our imperial capital star system and our core territories will face the threat of the black hole!"

This is an ultimate decision, more difficult and more desperate than any before!

The Bi Te En Empire has fallen into an unprecedented existential crisis!

Bi Jia Lie's brain raced wildly, trying to find a sliver of hope from this desperate deadlock.

He focused all his attention on that top‑secret communication data stream from the Ke Luo Empire.

He tried to find any usable clues within it.

However, aside from those few keywords about the Singularity Generator and the fragmentary data, he found nothing else.

This data stream was like a ghost, appearing out of nowhere and then vanishing.

It had no source, no destination.

It was like a sharp blade precisely thrust into his heart, yet left nothing for him to grasp in retaliation.

Just as Bi Jia Lie felt despair.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind that seemed somewhat absurd yet could not be ruled out.

Yanhuang Civilization.

The civilization he regarded as the 'virus source,' which he had just ordered to be sealed off.

The civilization that had been suspected by him in the 'Obscure Star Xuan' incident, but which he ultimately cleared of suspicion.

Why would this top‑secret information about the 'Black Hole Plan' appear in their central database in such an 'accidental' manner?

Why would these fragmentary data be so 'just right' as to enable them to deduce the truth?

Could there be some connection here?

Bi Jia Lie's thought core instantly summoned all information regarding the Yanhuang Civilization.

From how they mysteriously rose, to how they used 'thought' to sway the Star Sea Divine Sect.

Then how, in the Godfall Star Domain, they employed unheard‑of strange weapons to annihilate the elite fleet of the Sirius Civilization.

And how, recently, they swayed the entire Free Star Domain Alliance, inserting their influence into the heart of the Milky Way without shedding blood.

One clue after another quickly linked together in his mind.

He realized that the Yanhuang Civilization was far more mysterious and terrifying than he had imagined.

They are like a hunter hidden in the darkness, each strike deadly.

Their actions appear chaotic, but are in fact strictly ordered.

Their targets seem weak, but they advance step by step.

Now, they have again, in this 'accidental' way, leaked the 'Black Hole Plan' information to us.

Could this truly be a mere coincidence?

Yet, he found nothing.

There is no direct evidence pointing to the Yanhuang Civilization.

All the clues have been cut so cleanly, so perfectly.

This made him feel a deep sense of helplessness, plus a dread he himself was unwilling to admit.

He might have been toyed with by this Yanhuang Civilization, kept in the palm of its hand.

They are the ones, the true black hand secretly stirring up the situation in the Milky Way Galaxy!

But now he has no time to look into these.

"The threat of the Black Hole Project is imminent."

He must stop them before the Kelo Empire successfully produces a singularity generator!

"Convey my orders!"

Bigelei's voice once again restored the emperor's dignity.

But beneath that dignity lay a hint of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

"Immediately issue an emergency recall order to all Glory Legions! At any cost, return to defend the core territories at the fastest speed!"

"Order, the Imperial Academy of Sciences immediately activate the Spatial Disturbance Field defense system!"

"Order the Imperial Intelligence System to conduct a full-power scan, without interruption, 24 hours a day, on every star system of the Kelo Empire!"

I need to know exactly where they are developing their singularity generator!

A war for the survival of civilization was ignited at this moment by Bigelei's order.

This step means he will completely abandon all the gains he obtained in the proxy war.

This means he will expose the entire Eastern Faction to the iron hooves of the Kelo Empire.

He will drag his own empire from a lofty "player" position to a struggling "piece" position for survival, in an instant.

But he has no other choice.

Because he faces an ultimate threat more terrifying than any enemy—a black hole!
