Chapter 494: Don't resist, this is postoperative nutritional recovery

Qin Hao turned his head and shouted at the void, his tone instantly becoming like he was calling a child home for dinner:

"Qin Yue! Qian Yin! Qin An!"

"Wash up and come to the table, dinner's ready!!"

As he gave the command.

At the center of the Miracle Garden, the long-starving energy conversion matrix roared into operation!

Countless thick pipes extended from the matrix, like octopus tentacles, instantly wrapping around the massive 【Star Throne】 and the hardworking eighth-level legion warships!

"No! What are you doing?!"

"Help! My energy! My energy is draining!"

"Ahhh! My soul core is about to be sucked dry!"

The soldiers on those warships, and their commanders, let out terrified screams.

They felt that their warships, their bodies, their everything,

were being frenziedly devoured and digested by an irresistible force!

The warships' armor was decomposing.

The energy cores were depleting.

Their souls and vitality were being continuously drawn into that terrifying glutton!

Then, after digestion and purification by the energy conversion matrix, it became the purest, gentlest life energy, rule fragments, and soul origins.

These nutrients were conveyed through the rule conduit network to every corner of the Yanhuang Civilization.

The energy pools of the Yanhuang Scientific Academy instantly overflowed.

The Heavenly Palace's ecosystem received unprecedented nourishment.

Every Yanhuang citizen felt their power rapidly increasing.

This was an unprecedented feast targeting a ninth-level civilization fleet!

"My fleet... my throne..."

The Star Sea King stared blankly at the hellish scene before him, his will on the verge of collapse.

He watched helplessly as the invincible fleet he had operated for hundreds of millions of years, capable of sweeping half the universe,

was now like a herd of fattened pigs, being happily flayed and cleaned out by the enemy.

And he himself could do nothing.

He was trapped in this bizarre operating room, unable to even move.

The proud ninth-level technological power he relied on was as fragile as paper before the enemy's unreasonable rule rewriting.

Despair.

Endless despair engulfed him.

He finally realized he had been wrong from the start.

Wrong to an absurd degree.

He thought he was a lofty hunter come to judge an ignorant ant.

Little did he know, from the moment he entered this star field, he had already become the fish on someone else's chopping block.

And the other side didn't even bother with a knife, just set up a big pot and stewed him alive along with all his belongings...

"How do you feel, Your Excellency the Star Sea King?"

Qin Hao's demon-like voice echoed again in his mind.

"Are you satisfied with our Yanhuang Civilization's energy therapy service?"

"Don't you see that the necrotic and apoptotic rule power you had before has now been purified by us into pure life energy?"

"Your subordinates' souls will also be reborn in our soul-soothing system."

"You should be thanking me."

"I... I..."

The Star Sea King trembled with rage, a mouthful of old blood caught in his throat; he wanted to curse but couldn't utter a word.

He had never seen such a shameless person!

They stole his things, ate his subordinates, and still made him say thank you?

Is there still heavenly justice in this world?

Is there still royal law?

"You... you demon!!"

After a long while, he managed to squeeze these words from between his teeth.

"Demon? No no no."

Qin Hao shook his head, "I said it, I'm a doctor."

"Look, doesn't your rule hardening syndrome feel much better now?"

Qin Hao said, and indeed produced a new medical examination report in proper form.

【Patient Name: Star Sea King】

【Treatment Stage: First Course (Completed)】

【Treatment Effect Evaluation:】

【1. Rule Hardening Syndrome: By stripping away its comorbid lesion 【Star Throne】, the necrotic rule power in the patient's body has been greatly reduced, and the condition is effectively controlled.】

【2. Manic Complication: Through large-scale bloodletting therapy (i. e., devouring his fleet), the patient's mania caused by excess energy has been significantly alleviated.】

【3. Comprehensive Evaluation: The patient's vital signs are stable, emotions are stable, suitable for the next stage of treatment.】

【Next-stage treatment recommendation: To address the root cause of his existential nihilism, cognitive restructuring psychological counseling is recommended.】

Looking at this freshly issued medical examination report filled with the utmost humiliation, the Star Sea King's vision went black and his will almost dissipated on the spot.

He was so angry he couldn't speak a word.

This scene was fully displayed before all the civilizational representatives of the G-37 Branch.

Inside the Tree of Life Palace, there was a deathly silence.

All the civilizational representatives stood as if petrified, completely motionless.

Their faces still held the earlier gloating expression, ready to watch the Yanhuang Civilization's show.

But their eyes had become blank and dazed, filled with the confusion of having their worldviews overturned.

Wo Xi Ling, the Chairman of the Universe Alliance's G-37 Branch, was trembling uncontrollably.

What did she see?

A level-nine big shot was disarmed while still alive.

An invincible judgment fleet was treated like a buffet and eaten.

The so-called Variable Yanhuang Civilization actually treated a level-nine big shot as a patient and performed surgery on him?!

She felt her brain wasn't up to the task.

Feeling that the cognition, common sense, and worldview she had accumulated over hundreds of millions of years,

were all shattered at this moment by a huge hammer.

"We... we previously... were planning to scheme against such a civilization?"

An elder of the Dimension Blade Civilization muttered with a sobbing tone.

"We still wanted to squeeze technology from them?"

"Do we have some kind of serious illness?"

This question voiced the inner thoughts of all the civilizational representatives present.

They now recalled their earlier petty schemes and overconfident deep plans, only feeling like clowns jumping up and down.

Before a giant holding the nuclear button, they toyed with their ridiculous slingshot.

"It's over..."

"We're all done for!"

After the Yanhuang Civilization finishes dealing with those two level-nine big shots, it'll be the turn of those clowns who previously jumped the most happily.

Just thinking that they and their civilization might also be dragged onto that terrifying operating table to be cut out as lesions,

he felt a surge of uncontrollable fear and despair rising from the depths of his soul.

"No... perhaps... there's still a chance!"

In Wo Xi Ling's eyes, a glimmer of survival suddenly flashed.

She recalled Qin Hao's earlier words.

He said he was a doctor.

Saying he came to treat illness.

Are those blind fools of theirs considered patients?

Can patients proactively go register?

This thought flashed like lightning, illuminating her future direction.

And those civilizational representatives who had been cheering for the judgment fleet were now like roosters with their throats choked, mouths wide open but unable to make a sound.

Only the clacking of teeth sounded especially shrill in the empty hall.

That horrifying feast continued.

The Star Throne, which once symbolized the supreme authority of the Universe Alliance, was now like a chunk of fresh meat thrown into a meat grinder,

under the frantic sucking of the Energy Conversion Matrix, it visibly withered and disintegrated.

The rule runes that had flowed across its surface for billions of emitted their final wail, then turned into the most primitive energy particles that eagerly rushed along those thick conduits into the embrace of the Yanhuang Civilization.

As for those invincible level-eight legions?

Heh, they're lining up waiting to be eaten.

"This is... the Variable?"

That Dimension Blade Civilization elder now lay limp in his chair, his once blade‑sharp body gone soft like overcooked noodles.

"This isn't a Variable—it's clearly the end of the universe, an abyss that devours everything!"

"Run... run fast!!"

Someone shouted, finally breaking this suffocating freeze.

All the civilizational representatives woke up as if from a dream, frantically lunging for the control panel to try to activate the jump drive and escape this nightmare.

But the next second, despair fell again.

"Beep—warning! Logic lock engaged!"

"Beep—warning! Escape concept removed!"

"Beep—warning! Detected unauthorized displacement intent; will be judged as a medical accident hit‑and‑run, and the system will automatically execute compulsory detention procedures!"

No matter how they operated, the starship's engine was just dead ash.

The surrounding space was like a welded‑shut iron plate—not even a mosquito could fly out.

"It's over... completely over..."

Many representatives with poorer psychological resilience broke down in tears right there.

Locked in a room, watching the burly man next door being eaten while knowing they're next, this fear is enough to shatter any creature's mental defenses.
