Chapter 169: The Ares Armor Legion shocks myriad worlds, Chancellor Lu Fa is punished!

~13 min read 2,475 words

The image on the heavenly curtain slowly shifted from the dying embers of the Star Sea Universe's apocalypse.

The grand narration sounded, announcing the official start of the new survey.

At the center of the screen,

A huge planet appeared, exuding a cold metallic texture and majestic silver light.

This is Ares Star.

It is also the Armor Star of the universe.

Subtitles appeared on the heavenly curtain,

began to survey this vast and mysterious civilization.

【In the vast universe, Ares Star proclaims itself the absolute guardian of the Milky Way.】

【They implement a strict council system, and the highest ruler is called King Pi'er.】

【What sustains the rule of this vast interstellar empire is the Invincible Armor Corps led by Chancellor Lu Fa.】

The heavenly curtain began to play the shocking footage of the Ares Legion's interstellar conquest.

In the vast vacuum,

The Armor Corps Chancellor Lu Fa, wearing a red cape, stood at the forefront.

Behind him stood tens of thousands of upright Ares warriors.

Before them lay a sky-filling alien warship.

Facing encirclement on all sides, Chancellor Lu Fa issued no retreat order.

The Ares warriors raised their arms in unison.

They simultaneously pressed the armor summoners on their belts.

Blinding light instantly flared across the star sea.

Red, blue, yellow.

Light of three colors blazed tens of thousands of feet high.

Tens of thousands of armored warriors appeared in the cosmic vacuum.

The Armor Corps summoned armor.

"Charge."

Lu Fa uttered two words.

Tens of thousands of armor units activated their foot thrusters, directly slamming into the alien fleet's defensive formation.

They relied entirely on no covering fire from the main guns of large interstellar warships.

Relying solely on the terrifying kinetic and mental energy of individual armor, these warriors displayed destructive power that overturned common sense.

An Ares warrior bare-handedly grabbed the prow of an oncoming alien escort ship.

With force in his arm, he tore the hull of that tens-of-meters-long warship apart.

On another side, several warriors formed a small squad formation.

They gathered their will energy and summoned the armor's weapons.

For example, a blue blade, a red sword, and a yellow drill.

These weapons directly pierced the power core of heavy cruisers.

Chain-reacting energy explosions spread through the alien fleet.

Alien warships turned into sky-filling debris.

The myriad heavens were deeply shaken by this extremely hardcore interstellar war.

Star Sea Universe.

United Star.

Human Federation Grand Marshal Sidney stared at the heavenly curtain, his fervent eyes fixed on the armor shuttling through space.

She shoved aside the tactical simulation board in front of her.

"What shocking footage!"

"This so-called Armor Star called Ares has something going for it!"

"Record all combat data!"

Sidney turned and roared at the science director behind her,

"Incorporate this individual ultimate equipment into the Human Federation's next-phase expansion plan."

"Abandon the cumbersome Titan warship construction plan. We will arm every pure-blood human soldier to the teeth!"

Marvel Universe.

Avengers Building.

Tony Stark sat at the workbench, the high-energy wrench in his hand striking his instep.

He ignored the pain, eyes wide as he watched the holographic projection of the Ares battle armor being summoned from nowhere and instantly covering his whole body.

"Portability, defense, space-jump summon."

Tony quickly pulled up his nano armor's data panel for comparison.

"JARVIS, this thing's data panel outclasses my nano armor by several eras."

"One man tearing apart an interstellar cruiser with bare hands?"

"The physics of Ares Star have serious loopholes."

Land of Light.

Beneath the Plasma Spark Tower.

Mebius Ultraman gazed at the flickering armor summoner on the heavenly curtain, then turned his head in puzzlement toward Taro Ultraman.

Instructor, they took out instruments and gained great power in the light. This fighting style is extremely similar to our combat mode when we incarnate on Earth.

Mengbiyousi proposed a hypothesis,

Could these cold armors also possess independent consciousness, actively choosing suitable human hosts?

Tai Luo pondered for a moment,

We Ultramans have autonomous consciousness, while these armors... likely lack consciousness.

They are more likely to be used as tools.

Wandering Earth Universe.

Liu Peiqiang looked at the shocking scene and immediately asked.

MOSS, conduct a full scan of the heavenly curtain display. Can the United Government reverse-engineer this individual soldier armor for Earth's interstellar defense?

The red dot on the control panel flashed rapidly.

Three seconds later, a cold electronic sound sounded.

Liu Peiqiang, Colonel.

Current human basic physics cannot parse its space jump and energy folding principles.

The matter transformation equation is missing. Determining the imitation success rate as absolute zero.

It is recommended to abandon this unrealistic fantasy.

Liu Peiqiang punched the control panel.

Armored Warrior World.

Inside Happy House Ramen Restaurant.

Duanmu Yan held a large bowl of ramen and stood up directly from the chair.

He saw Lu Fa and others' armor forms maneuvering freely in space on the heavenly curtain, his eyes bursting with fierce fighting spirit.

I originally thought this world only had Earth armor that draws on natural elements.

Duanmu Yan put down the sea bowl, picked up a chopstick of noodles and swallowed.

In the depths of the Milky Way, there actually exists an interstellar armor army.

I really want to bump into them.

The heavenly curtain display switched.

The grand triumph ceremony site on Ares Star.

Lu Fa, wearing battle-smoke, strode up the lofty throne steps.

He held with both hands a transparent storage box filled with core crystals emitting various colors of light.

Lu Fa knelt on one knee and respectfully presented the life cores of conquered star systems, the 'Energy Crystals', to the exalted Pirel King.

【The cosmic law of Ares Star is simple and brutal.】

The narrator explained in a timely manner.

【As long as one obtains Energy Crystals from more than half the planets in the Milky Way, one possesses absolute legitimacy to rule the entire galaxy.】

At this time, Pirel King was elated and proud.

He descended from the throne before the faces of hundreds of millions of Ares Star citizens.

Pirel King stretched out both hands, tightly gripping Lu Fa's hand wearing a metal glove.

His face full of emotion, his voice transmitted through the amplification system to the entire capital square.

Half of my kingdom, Pirel King, is the territory you, Lu Fa, conquered!

Pirel King publicly swore a heavy oath.

The myriad heavens and worlds reacted variously to this play of harmonious ruler and minister.

Game of Thrones World.

King's Landing Red Keep.

Tywin Lannister held a wine glass and snorted coldly.

He leaned back in the chair, his eyes full of calculation.

Foolish general.

Tywin pointed out directly,

Holding troops aloof and with merit shocking the sovereign, this loyal dog is not far from death; lions never share kingship with fierce dogs.

Star Odyssey World.

Mai Dang found the setting that 'Energy Crystals represent sovereignty' unbelievable. He clutched his head and loudly protested:

What kind of damned logic is this rule of seizing energy cores to claim kingship?

Taking away Energy Crystals will cause the planet to wither; this is outright banditry!

Great Qin Universe.

Xianyang Palace.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng sat on the Dragon Throne.

He looked at Pirel King's moved, almost tearful appearance and flicked his sleeve contemptuously.

Utterly hypocritical.

Ying Zheng coldly commented,

Such verbal promises are merely the lowly imperial tactics of incapable superiors to appease fierce dogs.

How could there be two lords under heaven? Only fools would believe the nonsense of splitting the realm.

The heavenly curtain continued to flow.

The narrator's voice suddenly rose, beginning to recount the most glorious and also most tragic battle in Lu Fa's military career.

Conquer Flame Star.

In the picture,

The land of Flame Star showed a crimson scorched-earth state.

The overall strength of Flame Star was terrifying. Standing opposite tens of thousands of Ares troops,

was Flame Star's strongest commander — the Flame Emperor.

The Flame Emperor laughed wildly.

He pressed the summoner.

Purple and silver armor components flew out of the void, instantly covering his whole body.

This is the Asura Armor that possesses invincible fame in the galaxy.

The Flame Emperor wielded the Asura Purgatory Halberd and charged alone into the Ares legion.

He swung his weapon with wide, sweeping motions.

Dark-purple psychic-energy light blades swept across the battlefield.

Ares's mass-produced armor shattered one after another in the face of this power, turning into flying ash.

The Asura Armor slaughtered in all directions on the battlefield, unstoppable wherever it went.

Lu Fa's Ares legion suffered heavy losses in this epic battle.

Countless soldiers died on the battlefield.

Finally, only twenty-four elite guards remained, still following Lu Fa.

Facing the near-invincible Flame Emperor in single combat, Lu Fa did not choose a foolish head-on clash.

He stood on a high cliff, watching the frenzied slaughtering Flame Emperor below, displaying extremely high tactical acumen.

Lu Fa ordered the remaining troops to retreat, luring the enemy deeper.

He used Flame Star's complex terrain to lay multiple high-energy magnetic field traps.

Lu Fa saw through the Flame Emperor's arrogant and conceited character, sending his subordinates to continually provoke him with words.

The Flame Emperor indeed fell for the trap.

He, in order to pursue the remnants, led his lone army deep into the trap's core area.

The linked traps activated, continually draining the Flame Emperor's psychic energy.

By the time the Flame Emperor cut through the last magnetic field barrier, his psychic energy was already exhausted.

Lu Fa led the twenty-four guards down from the heavens, forming the Ares Absolute Killing Formation.

Twenty-five strands of psychic energy erupted simultaneously, completely suppressing the exhausted Flame Emperor.

The Asura Armor was forcibly dismantled.

Lu Fa stepped forward and personally placed high-pressure heavy metal shackles on the Flame Emperor.

After this battle,

Ares thoroughly cleared the last obstacle to galactic domination.

Lu Fa not only captured the so-called strongest armament in the galaxy, the 'Asura Armor',

but also brought back Flame Star's three general armors — Punishing Heaven, Flying Shadow, Vajra.

The vast workshop of Ares's Research Department appeared on the sky canopy.

Countless mechanical arms operated at high speed.

They reverse-engineered these three armors and put them into mass production.

Tens of thousands of Punishing Heaven, Flying Shadow, and Vajra armors rolled off the assembly line, becoming the core regular forces that maintain Ares's hegemony.

The myriad realms' defenses were broken, and various emotions erupted beneath the sky canopy.

The Great Thousand Worlds.

The Boundless Fire Domain.

Xiao Yan's hand trembled violently.

A strand of Qing Luan Earth-core Fire lost control, directly blasting through the lid of the medicinal cauldron.

Black smoke billowed upward.

Xiao Yan looked at the Flame Emperor on the sky canopy, whose armor had been shattered and who was trussed up and bound before the hall, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

"This name clash is deadly."

Xiao Yan embarrassedly rubbed his nose, inwardly complaining wildly.

"The mighty Flame Emperor was captured alive by aliens and is still being broadcast live across the universe."

"Should I change my title in the future? So I won't be laughed at when I go out!"

"Teacher, would changing my title to Fire Emperor work?"

Armor Warrior First World.

Inside the gloomy Shadow Realm base.

Chou Jiang watched the mass-produced Punishing Heaven, Flying Shadow, and Vajra armors on the sky canopy like an assembly line, and grew anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks.

He was so angry he rolled on the ground, pulling hard at his own hair.

"How outrageous! Why are there so many annoying armors in the whole universe!"

Chou Jiang cursed wildly at the screen.

"Just these few armors on Earth are enough for me to drink a pot."

"Moreover, there's even an extraterrestrial mass-produced version above?"

"How much longer must I endure before I can smash all this broken copper and rotten iron to pieces!"

Meanwhile, Duanmu Yan's gaze was firmly locked onto that single Asura Armor sealed alone in Ares's royal treasury, emitting a suffocating dark-gold luster.

Known as armor that can only be driven by the strongest righteous qi and the strongest evil qi.

Duanmu Yan's lips curled into a hint of arrogant cold smile.

"If the Okse are all killed, naturally that is the strongest righteous qi."

"This Shura armor is practically tailor-made for me."

"Once in hand, a single strike can instantly kill all corpse-rage viruses."

The background music on the sky curtain suddenly changed.

The stirring war song receded, replaced by a gloomy, oppressive variation.

As Lu Fa completely pacified the galaxy, a deadly crisis quietly erupted within Ares.

Lu Fa's glorious military exploits made his prestige among the army and civilians rise like the midday sun.

Civilians shouted Lu Fa's name in the streets, even barely eclipsing King Peil on the throne.

Ares Chancellor Balu seized the opportunity.

(Here Balu is not the Balu of the Netherworld Legion; they are two different people.)

He stepped deep into the palace in the dead of night.

Balu stood beside King Peil, lowered their voice, and began to frequently slander.

"Your Majesty, Lu Fa's forces are too strong; the soldiers know only the commander, not the king."

Balu continually framed,

"Lu Fa has recently been frequently moving the interstellar garrison; he intends to usurp the throne."

King Peil sat on the throne in the shadows.

He looked at the holographic projection of Lu Fa's side, that battle-hardened tiger-and-wolf troop.

The apprehension in King Peil's eyes finally twisted completely into a cold killing intent.

He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms.

The heavenly audience sneered at this farce playing out in Ares' court.

Cybertron.

Decepticon Base.

Megatron burst into loud laughter.

The harsh metallic scraping sound echoed within the base.

He saw through this clumsy political ploy at a glance.

"Laughable carbon-based lifeforms."

Megatron pointed at the sky curtain and said bluntly,

"All of this is definitely not some chancellor stirring up trouble."

"This is entirely King Peil's hypocritical self wanting to take action!"

"He is using Balu's mouth to eliminate his own great threat."

"If you want to kill, just kill; why bother with these excuses?"

Star Sea Universe.

Command Headquarters.

Grand Marshal Sidney also let out a cold snort.

"If a meritorious subject does not understand to voluntarily relinquish military power after conquering the world, what awaits them is inevitably the guillotine."

Sidney had their hands behind their back,

"King Peil is merely following the old path of past dictators; this is the exclusivity law of power."

In the sky curtain's display, the moment of condemnation descended.

King Peil finally tore apart the hypocritical mask.

He suddenly issued a secret order to the Capital Guard to arrest Lu Fa.

Tens of thousands of Capital Guard troops surrounded Lu Fa's residence, forcibly escorting Lu Fa and his twenty-four Imperial Guard to the Supreme Hall.
