Chapter 167

Armored Warrior World.

Happy House Ramen Shop.

Duanmu Yan slammed the ramen spoon in their hand onto the table, splashing broth onto their apron.

"What the hell kind of humans are these?!"

Duanmu Yan pointed at the screen, filled with righteous indignation.

"This is clearly a monster! It's a mutated Orcus!"

"Ignoring the proper path, they insist on mixing with aliens; the Earth Union is practically a factory mass-producing Orcuses!"

"If it were me, I'd have burned them all with Nawa Armor long ago! The Human Union's Grand Marshal is right—this species ought to be exterminated!"

Naruto World.

Uchiha Madara stood on the cliff.

"Ridiculous."

Madara crossed their arms.

"For the sake of pitiful tolerance, they've forgotten what they even are. This feeble civilization of the Earth Union will sooner or later destroy itself in the dream of peace."

The heavenly screen continued to flow.

After the Human Union's war proclamation broadcast, the situation across the stellar universe instantly tightened to its limit.

The massive orbital shipyards of United Star operated at full capacity.

Tens of thousands of black battleships formed up, their icy gun barrels pointing toward the territory of the Earth United Nations.

A great army pressed at the border.

Clouds of destruction shrouded the entire starry sky of the Earth Union.

Faced with the Human Union's overwhelming military threat, the Earth Union plunged into unprecedented panic and turmoil.

Inside the United Nations building in Geneva, the conference hall erupted into chaos.

"We can't fight! Brother against brother is humanity's greatest tragedy!"

"But they want to cleanse us! Those extremist maniacs won't listen to reason!"

"It's all because you guys are messing with gene fusion! I said it was a mistake!"

The fierce argument lasted a full three days and three nights.

Finally, to prevent human civilization from descending into a self-destructive civil war, the Earth Union's high command compromised.

The Earth Union president, who had half alien blood, stood on the podium and issued the order with a grim expression.

"For peace. For the tranquility of the star sea. The Earth Union announces a complete freeze on the 'Extraterrestrial Gene Fusion' project. Seal all related experimental data."

When the order was issued, the Human Coalition's fleet halted the preheating of their jump drives.

A catastrophe seemed to have been narrowly avoided.

This scene firmly cemented the label of 'weakness' on the Earth Union.

World of Death Gods.

Hueco Mundo.

Sosuke Aizen sat upon the throne, looking down at the sky with a smirk of contempt.

"When faced with a military threat, they immediately abandoned the ideals they had upheld."

"Such spineless tolerance is like a sandcastle on the beach—it collapses at the slightest touch."

Gundam Universe.

Char snorted coldly:

"The so-called peace is merely built on submission to the strong. The Earth Union, a bunch of cowards who only know how to compromise."

Just when everyone thought the Earth Union was a lamb awaiting slaughter in the star sea, only to retreat again and again.

Then, an abrupt change occurred.

In the vast star sea,

an extremely xenophobic alien empire resembling a gigantic starfish,

the Farah Empire, set its sights on the Earth Union.

This starfish empire had been watching from the sidelines.

They saw the Earth Union retreat under pressure from the Human Coalition, and saw the Earth Union's embarrassment at halting the gene project.

In their logic, retreat equals weakness, and tolerance equals being bullyable!

The ruler of the starfish empire waved its bulky tentacles and issued the order for a surprise attack.

"Weak humans do not deserve to occupy such a fertile star sector! Take their planets!"

Without any warning.

A massive starfish empire fleet jumped to the orbit of the Earth Union's most prosperous border colony—'Europa 7'.

It is a scenic ocean planet.

It is home to nearly twenty billion Earth Union citizens, including humans and dozens of friendly alien species.

No declaration of war.

No warning.

The belly of the starfish fleet's flagship slowly opened, revealing a colossal mechanical device.

It was the most infamous prohibited weapon in the universe—the Planet Cracker!

A red energy blade, like a death god's scythe, silently sliced into Europa 7's atmosphere.

Immediately thereafter,

The light devoured everything.

The core was detonated.

The whole Europa 7 planet, like a glass ball struck by a huge hammer, shattered explosively in the universe!

Vast continental plates were torn into rubble, and the azure seawater instantly vaporized into white steam.

Twenty billion living beings didn't even have time to scream before being turned to cosmic dust by the extreme heat and shockwave.

The fragments drifted silently in the vacuum.

At this moment, all realms fell silent.

On the sky-screen, footage played of Europa 7's destruction and the horrific scenes unfolding inside the Earth Union.

The Earth Union's news channels were drowned in endless grief.

Countless human mothers knelt in Geneva's square, screaming into the cameras with heart‑wrenching cries.

"My child! All my family are on that planet!"

A legless old veteran clutched his own hair, tears streaming down his face:

"Why! We never provoked them—why destroy our home!"

The myriad‑world spectators watched this scene, their eyes nearly bursting with rage.

Anger spread across all universes.

In the One Piece world,

Luffy clenched his fists, the eyes beneath his straw hat blazing with fury.

"You damn starfish! You actually destroyed a whole planet—unforgivable!"

In the Super Gene Academy world, Rena's body ignited with solar light.

"This is a massacre! A blatant massacre!"

But amid the anger, many people merely shook their heads and sighed.

In the Three‑Body world,

The Führer gazed at the screen.

"This is the price of weakness. What will the Earth Union do next?"

"It'll probably just be the same as before—rushing to the Star System Union to loudly condemn, or imposing toothless economic sanctions."

However, the Earth Union's subsequent reaction dropped everyone's jaws.

Earth, the United Nations Headquarters.

The Earth Union president, half‑alien blooded and mocked by the myriad realms as a "monster" and a "coward," once again stepped onto the podium.

But this time, his eyes held no tolerance, no gentleness.

Only coldness.

A chill sharper than absolute zero.

He stared at the holographic projection of Europa 7's remaining debris belt, his hands gripping the lectern tightly.

He offered no diplomatic protest.

He did not go to the Star System Union for arbitration.

He didn't even utter a single unnecessary word.

The president lifted his head; in his altered eyes, a blood‑thirsty red light flickered.

He addressed the all‑military communications channel and issued only a single word.

"Exterminate."

Boom——

The terrifying war machine hidden beneath the Earth Union's gentle, tolerant policy roared at this moment, shaking the starry seas!

In Earth orbit, the massive shipyards once thought to be civilian shed their outer hulls layer by layer.

Revealing the densely packed, tooth‑edge armed Titan‑class flagship warships inside!

Within twelve Teras of the Farakh Empire's sneak attack,

A colossal federal fleet composed of pure‑bred humans, beast‑folk, machine‑folk, and dozens of allied species had completed its muster.

This was a terrifying fleet whose scale rivaled even the main force of the Human Union!

Azure jump‑flash light illuminated the solar system.

The Earth Union fleet did not move to retake lost territory or bolster the borders.

They jumped directly into orbit around the Starfish Empire's homeworld!

The Starfish Empire's ruler panicked.

They never imagined that the Earth Union, which constantly proclaimed peace, was hiding such a colossal military might.

They desperately sent surrender pleas, promising compensation and offering to cede star territories.

The commander of the Earth Union flagship, a pure‑bred human old general, gazed at the screen full of surrender signals.

He lit a cigar, drew a deep puff, and exhaled thick clouds of smoke.

"Open the enemy channel."

The old general gave the order.

The Starfish ruler's panicked voice came through:

"We are willing to surrender! We are willing to accept judgment by the Interstellar Court! Please stop the attack!"

The old general's eyes were like blades.

"You blew up Europa 7. Twenty billion lives are watching me."

The old general stubbed out his cigar on the control panel.

"The Earth Union does not accept surrender. The Earth Union wants you dead."

Earth Union fleet abandoned all tactical maneuvers and directly deployed the most brutal formation.

Under the gaze of the myriad realms audience, whose scalps went numb from shock.

The Earth Union activated its highest‑grade stellar‑annihilation weapon, the deity‑statue‑level neutron penetration cannon!

It was not to disintegrate a planet.

But a far more cruel punishment.

The main guns of tens of thousands of warships charged simultaneously.

Azure light pillars like a devastating downpour instantly pierced the mother star of the Sea Star Empire.

It gave no chance to escape.

Within minutes, the entire planet's surface was completely covered by extreme high‑energy radiation.

Mountains melted, oceans boiled.

The surface of the Sea Star mother star was completely sintered, turning into a smooth glass sphere reflecting a dead light!

Billions of Sea Star people, inside this glass sphere, were suffocated alive and scorched.

The Sea Star Empire was wiped clean from the cosmic charts! Not a single genetic trace remained.

Silence.

Both inside and outside the curtain fell into a silence so profound that a pin drop could be heard.

Naruto world.

Uchiha Madara widened his eyes, then threw his head back and laughed maniacally.

"Hahahaha! Good! Very good!"

Madara's eyes were full of frenzy.

"This is what a strong one is! I take back my earlier words that the Earth Union was weak!"

"They are not cowards at all; they merely hid their butcher's knives behind smiling faces!"

Human Union.

Grand Marshal Sidney gazed at the vitrified Sea Star mother star on the curtain.

This iron‑blooded commander remained silent for a long time, then the corner of his mouth twitched into a stiff arc.

"It seems those old folks on Earth haven't completely forgotten how to kill."

Devouring Starry Sky world.

Luo Feng took a deep breath, feeling his blood boil.

"Still as a mountain, moving like thunder."

"The Earth Union's tolerance extends only to companions; against enemies, they are crueler than anyone. This is the true kingly way!"

The narrator's voice cut in at this moment,

grand and profound,

pushing the entire summary to the climax of thought.

【Human Federation chooses xenophobia because the survival pressure of the United Stars forces them to be ruthless.】

On the curtain flashed a scene of Human Union soldiers using chainsaws to slaughter amidst piles of alien monsters.

【Earth United Nations chooses to befriend outsiders because they encountered a relatively friendly interstellar environment, giving them the means to draft a blueprint of tolerance.】

The scene cut back to the once‑prosperous multi‑ethnic streets of the Earth Union.

【Their understanding of 'human nature' is completely opposite; they are opposed to each other in the star sea.】

【But, in the dark star sea.】

【If it comes to a life‑or‑death choice of one or the other, if someone dares to touch humanity's survival bottom line.】

【Whether they take the extreme iron‑blood route or the tolerant kingly path.】

【They will, for the sake of 'letting humanity survive', without hesitation tear off their disguises and become the most terrifying Shura!】

【Because this is the most ancient survival instinct engraved deep in human genes!】

The human forces of the myriad realms felt, at this moment, an unparalleled sense of pride.

Luo Ji of the Three‑Body universe laughed.

Ye Fan of the Covert Heaven world slightly nodded.

Liu Peiqiang of Wandering Earth straightened his spine.

Humanity, in the stellar universe, is no longer prey.

They are the apex predators at the top of the food chain!

Anger them, whether it's the Human Union or the Earth Union, and you will experience what true cataclysm means!

However.

Just as the myriad realms audience's emotions were pulled to the peak, cheering for the dominance of stellar humanity.

The curtain's image suddenly went dark.

All starlight instantly extinguished.

A chilling electronic noise, mixed with the void whispers like countless wailing ghosts, suddenly exploded in the ears of all myriad realms audience.

Zi zi... ka ka...

"Void... hunger..."

"Flesh... weak..."

"Dimension... torn..."

That sound seemed to pierce the soul directly, making everyone involuntarily shudder.

Bleach world, Kenpachi Zaraki covered his ears, face showing pain:

"What is this sound? My spiritual pressure is actually trembling!"

Marvel Universe,

Doctor Strange's levitating cloak tightened suddenly, and he looked in horror at the void:

"A kind of dimensional power beyond our comprehension…… is descending!"

The narrator's voice was no longer calm and grand, but became extremely solemn, filled with deep oppression.

【When two human civilizations dominated the galaxy, even arguing endlessly over their own ideologies.】

【They didn't know……】

【The higher dimensions deep in the star sea, the true "calamity", have been awakened by their clamor.】

In the sky.

At the edge of the Milky Way, space began to collapse on a large scale.

From the crimson subspace rift, surged endless higher-dimensional energy.

The icy mechanical synthetic sound echoed in the depths of the universe.

【The purification protocol has been activated. Eliminate all organic lifeforms.】

On the other side, the gargantuan inter-dimensional void beast, larger than a star, opened its colossal maw to devour star systems.

【And to oppose this unstoppable apocalyptic calamity.】

【Humanity, is about to be driven into desperation.】

【They will have no choice but to abandon their current forms and open the ultimate path of the three great ascensions……】

In the heavens, three huge icons slowly lit up.

On the left, the double-helix gene chain reassembled, emitting a wild green light.

In the center, icy gears and crystal cores intertwined, flashing a ruthless blue light.

On the right, a violet psionic storm coalesced into a third eye, gazing into the abyss.

【Genetic Ascension.】

【Mechanical Ascension.】

【Psionic Ascension.】

【Humanity's ultimate evolution—does it lead to godhood or down into hell?】

【Next Volume: The Awakening of the Fourth Calamity.】

The screen went completely dark.

But the hearts of the myriad-world audience were stirred by towering waves!

What calamity?

What three great ascensions?!

To oppose the apocalypse, humanity actually has to discard its current form?!

Endless suspense and anticipation, like a prairie fire, completely ignited across the myriad worlds!

……

(After the Human Union, Armor II Ares, then Wandering Earth, Cybertron, after Ultraman you can insert heaven-defying monsters like Ye Fu, and afterwards what else do you want to see?)
