Chapter 376: Run After Firing One Shot?

On the outskirts of the Holm Star System, a large number of Amethyst fleets were neatly arranged, guarding this extremely important Defense Line.

Every set distance on the metal outer shell of the battleships, purple Crystals were inlaid, showing very obvious Amethyst style characteristics.

If the Holm Star System was breached by Prince Saster, then the Purple Crystal Imperial Family would only have the Amethyst Central Star System left, which was equivalent to the last Defense Line.

Situated in the center of the massive fleet was a fleet interwoven with gold and purple. Just looking at the exterior, it had a luxurious temperament.

This was the Purple Crystal Royal Fleet. In the massive Main Ship, many members of the Purple Crystal Imperial Family gathered together, sitting down sequentially in front of a rectangular conference Table.

At the very head was the Amethyst Emperor. Compared to his formerly High-Spirited self, he looked very haggard now.

There were even white hairs mixed into his neatly combed hair. For the manager of a large-scale civilization, this was unbelievable.

Exquisite genetic technology was sufficient to fine-tune facial features. Having such an appearance showed that the other party hadn't even had time for genetic fine-tuning recently.

"The situation is very bad. The Empire is fully supporting Saster, wearing down the Strength within our borders." An old man on the left hand side spoke, the wrinkles on his face very deep.

"Heh, he's only dreaming of taking control of Amethyst. How could he have the time to care about this." Someone echoed, full of indignation.

"..."

The Amethyst Emperor didn't say a word, quietly looking at the crowd continuously disparaging Saster.

These High Echelon members who seemed to speak with the force of justice appeared to be genuinely grieved for the current Amethyst.

However, he knew that if the Star Glory Empire showed the slightest intention of relenting, then the vast majority of these seemingly "righteous" High Echelon members would kneel on the ground and lick the soles of the Empire's shoes.

Amethyst being able to reach this step today was closely related to the crowd present and their fathers.

Sigh... he sighed lightly in his heart. The Citizens of the Amethyst Civilization were still anxious and uneasy. A large number of bottom-tier soldiers engaged in desperate combat with their former compatriots without knowing why.

He had controlled this massive civilization for a very long time. He once had Lofty Ambitions and Great Aspirations, full of ambition, attempting to break away from the Empire's control and become a top-tier civilization faction like Returning Star.

But reaching this moment, there was ultimately some sorrow. Looking around at the High Echelon members with ferocious expressions, he slowly spoke: "Let's stop here..."

His voice was very light, seeming so insignificant amidst the curses of the many High Echelon members.

However, it accurately reached everyone's ears. The noisy sounds gradually subsided, and everyone's gaze turned to this former King.

"Stop here... what does that mean?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Stop here means... stop here." The Amethyst Emperor stood up, walked to the porthole, looked at the boundless Starry Sky, his eyes gradually losing focus:

"Compatriots killing each other, Citizens terrified. If we continue fighting, Amethyst will really fall apart."

The crowd Looked at Each Other in Dismay, only then reacting that the Amethyst Emperor actually meant to give up resistance.

"This..."

The crowd looked at each other, not knowing what to think for a moment.

"We cannot give up!" Someone said loudly: "The Empire is already disgusted with us to the extreme. If we give up resistance, what will be the outcome? Everyone think for yourselves."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, all opening their mouths to dissuade: "Absolutely cannot give up!"

"We cannot let Amethyst fall into the hands of that Reckless Brute Saster!"

"..."

Unprecedented disgust welled up in the Amethyst Emperor's heart. The Status he was in always had a gap with the crowd.

As the Controller, he at least still had a small Sphere of Responsibility for the Citizens of Amethyst in his heart.

It was just that it was once covered by the ambition in his heart. Now that the ambition dissipated, he only wanted to try his best to preserve Amethyst.

But most of the people present didn't even know how to write the words 'Citizens of Amethyst'.

"Resist?" The Amethyst Emperor abruptly turned his head, his voice like a thunderclap: "What do you have to resist with!?"

"Using the lives of bottom-tier soldiers to maintain a dignity that won't last long!?"

Someone said in a low voice: "If... we can defeat Saster and lower our posture a bit, maybe the Star Glory Empire will be lenient."

These words were said so subserviently that he himself was embarrassed to look up.

However, this was the heartfelt wish of everyone. Defeating Saster was their slim hope.

The Amethyst Emperor had a Dumbfounded feeling. Exhausting all efforts to defeat Saster, just for a chance to kneel and lick.

He also once had this kind of thought, but reality told him this was completely impossible.

"Give up..." His expression was indifferent: "I understand Saster. He is not a law-abiding guy either, maybe he'll do better than me."

Seeing that the Amethyst Emperor's mind was made up, the crowd's faces were anxious. They didn't want to accompany the Amethyst Emperor to their deaths.

However, right at this moment, the purple Crystal in the center of the rectangular conference Table suddenly flickered, popping up an aquamarine Holographic Screen.

A young general didn't even have time to greet the High Echelon members, urgently saying: "The enemy's internal battleships are making bizarre movements, seemingly cornering someone..."

This was urgent military intelligence. The crowd didn't scold him, but this general paused halfway through his sentence, as if he saw the latest intelligence, murmuring:

"Inter... Interstellar Fortress!"

Immediately, the Holographic Screen on the Table changed again. A miniature Death Star was projected out. The Laser Cannons covering its surface made everyone unable to help but feel cold in their hearts.

An Interstellar Fortress, a super mass destruction Weapon far exceeding a fleet, with terrifying comprehensive combat power. Planet-Destroying Level Weapons were Standard Issue.

The Amethyst Civilization didn't have an Interstellar Fortress. The cost of building this kind of super mass destruction Weapon was simply too high, and the Star Glory Empire wouldn't allow them to have one either.

"...Just now this Interstellar Fortress appeared in the center of the enemy fleet. There were no shielding measures, but its form of existence is extremely special, as if it's in the Space Rifts..."

This general rapidly reported, only his face was somewhat pale.

"Interstellar Fortress..." The Amethyst Emperor's eyes lost focus for a moment, then he looked up at the crowd again: "Now who still wants to resist?"

The crowd sat dejectedly in their chairs. Just relying on this Interstellar Fortress was enough to destroy more than half of their Strength.

Resist!? What to resist with!?

"The Empire... this is going to Exterminate Completely!" Someone couldn't help but speak out.

Even an Interstellar Fortress was dispatched, this was too ruthless.

However, before the atmosphere of despair could begin to spread, the general who was reporting paused again, his pupils shrinking, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, pointing at something as if unable to speak.

In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Through the floor-to-ceiling portholes, they could clearly see a dazzling Energy Radiance suddenly erupting in the center of the enemy fleet.

"This is!?" The Amethyst Emperor's face was sluggish, walking quickly to the porthole. The other High Echelon members also Can't Sit Still, lying on the glass one after another, wanting to look closely.

That general swallowed hard, managing to finish his sentence: "Your... Your Majesty, that Interstellar Fortress suddenly launched an attack. The core Energy Level has already exceeded ten million Cal, and it's still slowly increasing..."

"This Interstellar Fortress, it's not the enemy's backup..."

The mood of the many High Echelon members of the Purple Crystal Imperial Family was like riding a roller coaster. Before they could walk out of the despair just now, extreme excitement welled up in their hearts.

Which big shot found the Star Glory Empire unpleasing to the eye and actually directly dispatched an Interstellar Fortress to strike? This was simply too awesome!

The Amethyst High Echelon members wished they could enshrine that big shot and pray day and night. This was simply Timely Assistance!

"This is an opportunity! An excellent opportunity!" Someone said excitedly!

"Yeah, with this shot going down, Saster's losses probably won't be low!"

"..."

The crowd clamored for a Counterattack. However, the Amethyst Emperor's expression flickered, staring at that dazzling Energy Radiance, not knowing what he was thinking about.

.........

"The intensity of this attack probably far exceeds an ordinary Star-Destroying Cannon..."

This energy attack was far, far more powerful than Li Yu had imagined, and the Death Star possessed targeted strike capability.

The moment the Energy Beam hit the Blood Sea, it didn't pierce through it, but instead formed a strike point in the center.

The energy light shield continuously expanded, and the Spatial Coefficient nearby became chaotic.

It rapidly expanded into a massive energy sphere with a diameter exceeding ten kilometers, accompanied by continuously spreading circular Energy Ripples during the process.

Capone wasn't the main target of the attack, and at the time he wasn't considered close to the Blood Sea.

The moment the Death Star launched the attack, he reacted, and escaped at an extremely fast speed, not getting caught in the blast.

It was just that a few A-Tier Lifeforms who were fighting with Morgan were swept up in it, and soon there was no movement.

And Saster had just been in the Status of half a prisoner and didn't participate in the battle, which ironically saved his life.

"Where the fk did this Interstellar Fortress come from!?" Saster's face flushed red. This series of events overwhelmed him, unable to even sort out a vague outline.

"All battleships obey orders, stay away from this area!"

Capone didn't pay attention to him, issuing orders in the channel. Due to High-Energy Reaction interference, the signal was blurry; who knows how many battleships heard this order.

But the Captains weren't Idiots either. Not long after the attack occurred, they piloted their battleships attempting to escape.

However, due to the circular Shockwave causing the Systems of most battleships to fail and Engines to Fizzle Out, it was difficult to leave.

"Seems like I have to retreat a bit further..." Li Yu looked at the massive Energy Orb in the distance.

The last gleam of intense light fell into the recess cannon muzzle of the Death Star, which also represented that the truly terrifying secondary diffusion was coming.

The Universe was silent. One could only see that massive compressed Energy Orb continuously expanding, like a star reaching the end of its life, bursting out with its final light and heat.

Blistering high temperatures spread in the air. The outer shells of the battleships closer could rapidly melt into liquid, then be covered by the expanding Energy Orb.

Then, the Energy Orb completely exploded. A Shockwave comparable to a Stellar Ring rapidly expanded, sweeping away all the battleships along the way.

Many battleships didn't even have time to explode before they were Devour-ed by the circular Shockwave.

"Run!"

Capone's pupils shrank, grabbing Saster and turning to run. This guy couldn't die yet; he still hadn't figured out The Whole Story of this whole matter.

Where did this Interstellar Fortress come from?

The architectural style on it was extremely unfamiliar, not belonging to any known top-tier civilization.

The Purple Crystal Imperial Family dispatched an Exploration Vessel, risking death to approach Saster's camp. Many High Echelon members watched the Holographic Screen nervously.

Li Yu was extremely far away from the explosion point, his expression calm. Now... Morgan should finally be dead.

The aftermath of the entire explosion lasted for nearly ten minutes. When the dazzling light dissipated, everyone couldn't help but Gasp in Cold Air.

The center of the entire fleet looked like it had been wiped away by something, empty without leaving anything behind.

Battleship wreckage, corpses and the like were all annihilated in the energy just now, completely clean.

This strike... a rough estimate, eliminated at least one-third of Saster's battleships.

"My Pathos!"

Saster's eyes widened, sorrow welling up from his heart. Because the Pathos Fleet was extremely close to the strike point, it resulted in the entire fleet being completely annihilated.

This was the Strength he relied on the most, yet now not even wreckage was left, as if it had never existed.

"Who exactly is it!" Gnashing His Teeth, he abruptly looked up at that Interstellar Fortress.

Immediately after, an even more astonishing thing happened. That massive Interstellar Fortress actually began to dissipate.

Like a projection losing its signal, it gradually disappeared into the Starry Sky.

"This... what exactly is going on?" Saster was bewildered inside: "It's going to Warp away?"

He couldn't even conceive the concept of a one-time consumable item, only thinking that the other party had completed the mission and prepared to Warp away.

It was just that the manifestation of entering Warp Mode was somewhat strange.

Run after firing one shot?

Is this Interstellar Fortress sick or what?

"Its target should be Morgan." Capone speculated, then looked gloomily at Saster: "His Highness the Prince, aren't you going to explain what exactly is going on with this matter?"

"Also... why is Coulson Li Yu?"

Roughly estimating, the Star Glory Empire lost five A-Tier Lifeforms, as well as a large number of battleships.

It could even be said that the Pathos battleships were actually also the property of the Star Glory Empire.

And all this was only because of the suddenly appearing Morgan, which made the anger in Capone's heart surge.

Saster's face was ugly, chaotic thoughts echoing in his mind. He only had one thought now, and that was that he had been deceived, deceived right from the start!

.........

Li Yu lay leisurely in a certain Flying Vehicle. Having eliminated Morgan, his whole body relaxed.

Next, he only needed to quietly wait for the passage of time, and then become a Second-Stage Evolutionist.

However, out of caution, he still prepared to peer into the future to make sure no more Unexpected Trouble would appear.

Lying at his feet were several unconscious soldiers, but these people were not closely related to him, and the future peered into was too complicated with no usable information.

It wasn't that he couldn't peer into his own future, but his own future had higher uncertainty. After a few attempts, he finally understood.

The System's influence couldn't be calculated into the future, only his own abilities could be calculated, so the deviation was huge, unable to provide any information.

Fortunately, he had brought Soul-Shaking Heaven along. Muttering a few words, Li Yu let his Little Brother out.

However, right after peering into Soul-Shaking Heaven's future, he abruptly sat up straight, his face becoming alarmed and uncertain.
