Chapter 486: Digor's Contingency, A Helpless Move

The great war around them was still continuing, and the turbulent energy currents were still surging powerfully. In this tragic battlefield, a large number of lifeforms were dying every minute and every second.

Digor stood In the starry sky, gray mist coiling around him. The situation in this battlefield was quickly known by the outside world.

Aisel and the others were dealing with their respective enemies or commanding the battle. Battles at their tier could influence the overall results, but it was hard for them to play a decisive role.

Besides the four Faith Avatars in this battlefield, there were two more in other locations engaging in fierce combat with their respective opponents.

"His Majesty's methods seem to have been neutralized. The development of the situation is I'm afraid going to slide towards the worst possible outcome," Aisel said in the communication channel.

"...Make preparations, at all costs!" someone responded.

On the main battlefield, it seemed the outcome was already decided, and Digor's defeat and death were merely a matter of time.

However, right at this moment, the Sun God's Faith Avatar seemed to sense something, and blinding radiance surged all over his body.

Yet it was already too late. An arm composed of crimson-gold molten lava pierced through the Sun God's chest and then suddenly clenched into a fist.

These dazzling white fragments turned into streaks of Flowing Light in the Starry Sky, gathering not far away and condensing into the Sun God's appearance once again.

It was just that one could clearly see the light was somewhat dim, and his Aura was no longer as flourishing as before.

"Rong Yan, you... made your move too early." The Sun God's expression was gloomy as he stared at Rong Yan, who had suddenly attacked him.

"I'm afraid now is still not the time to harvest the spoils of war."

Watching this scene, Digor slowly clenched his fists, "I indeed didn't anticipate your methods, but to think you could make Return Star fail just with this, aren't you thinking too simply?"

"You are Digor's person!?" The Nightmare Knight had some realization and looked at Rong Yan, his tone containing rare astonishment.

Regarding this person Rong Yan, after their careful investigation, his love-hate relationship with Digor could withstand scrutiny and verification.

It was impossible for him to be Digor's Hidden Agent. After all, the grudges between the two of them started many years ago.

"Hehe..." Rong Yan sneered twice, "Not all Fire Element Espers are called Rong Yan."

The four Divine Spirits had varying expressions, simultaneously feeling the anger of being deceived.

They hadn't expected that the person before them wasn't Rong Yan at all.

Rong Yan's provocations against Return Star were known to the entire Interstellar society, and he had exposed a lot of explosive information about Digor.

Coupled with the spread of some data and information, it made them subconsciously believe he was Rong Yan.

That was why they secretly contacted the other party, wanting to borrow his Strength to attack Return Star.

Unexpectedly, the other party wasn't Rong Yan at all, but a guy who played Cuckoo in the Nest; a foreshadowing planted by Digor.

"This is indeed an unexpected matter." The Sun God quickly reined in his emotions and looked at Digor: "But with just you alone, I'm afraid it's hard to change the outcome of this war."

The cracks all over Digor's body continued to increase, and the Starry Sky in his pupils seemed to be slowly revolving, "You're right, but I've already prepared for the worst!"

Digor's firm tone gave the numerous Divine Spirits a rather bad premonition!

"Activate the Galaxy Veil!"

Along with Digor's command, the entire Central Star System began to slowly operate. The massive Main Planet split open from the middle, the metal crust opened, and what was revealed to everyone was not the blazing hot Planetary Core.

Instead, it was a cold, silver Metal Sphere, with countless crisscrossing Energy Conduits connecting to that silver Metal Sphere at the Planetary Core.

Surging purple Energy supplied power to the entire Central Star System!

"You are about to witness Return Star's deepest secret!"

A trace of madness surged on Digor's crack-filled face.

Accompanying his words, the silver Metal Sphere opened, and purple light instantly covered the entire Universe. From within it emerged a thin layer of an unknown substance.

Misty and mysterious!

"This is?"

The several Divine Spirits were initially somewhat confused. From that Misty Substance, they felt an indescribable sense of threat.

"The Galaxy Veil?" The Lady of the Night muttered to herself: "This is Return Star's highest crystallization of Technology..."

"No..." The Sun God shook his head, his expression solemn: "This is not a technological creation, this is a Titan Artifact!"

Return Star's deepest secret—

Everyone thought that the [Galaxy Veil], this ultimate defense mechanism of Return Star, was a technological creation, the crystallization of Return Star's countless years.

But in reality, this was only an external application of a Titan Artifact.

Return Star had deceived the entire Interstellar society!

"Return Star!"

Digor shouted loudly, and the Galaxy Veil instantly erupted with an incomparably dazzling light. The purple Misty Substance within began to flow.

It looked like a purple galaxy, twinkling with starlight, yet possessing astonishing destructive power.

"Not good!" The Sun God's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously wanted to flee this place, but the surrounding space had already been confined.

Those surging purple galaxies confined the space. Wherever they passed, everything returned to the Starry Sky, dissipating in an instant.

Return Star!

The name of this civilization was also the name of this attack.

Everything returned to the Starry Sky; almost no one could resist it.

But at the same time, the most troublesome aspect of this attack was that it didn't distinguish between friend and foe!

Wherever the purple galaxy passed, all matter completely disintegrated, without pain or wailing.

It was like an eraser, wiping across a messy spot on paper, making it incredibly clean again.

However, Return Star had researched this for countless years after all, so they had some countermeasures. This attack was launched from the Main Planet.

Therefore, the Main Planet remained completely unharmed, and long before this attack was launched, most of the High Echelon in the Starry Sky had already relocated.

This move could be considered sacrificing eight hundred of one's own to kill a thousand enemies. In just a short moment, hundreds of thousands of warships disappeared.

Accompanied by the deaths of even more enemies.

"So that's how it is with the Galaxy Veil." The Sun God watched that gradually spreading purple radiance. The tension on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a feeling of having victory within his grasp.

"It seems we've gained one more thing today."

"Digor, it is indeed time for this to end..." The Sun God seemed to be pronouncing the final verdict.

The other two Faith Avatars seemed to receive a summons. Then the six Divine Spirits exchanged a glance, and the Faith Avatars turned into Flowing Light, unexpectedly converging towards the center, condensing into a milky-white sphere of light.

In a trance, it was as if six imposing thrones had surfaced above the Starry Sky. Upon the thrones sat invincible Divine Spirits, looking down at Digor.

Under the light emitted by the thrones, the Galaxy Veil's attack actually showed a trend of stagnating.

"God's Throne!" Digor stared at those six thrones. This was also the main reason why Return Star was targeted by The Council.

The Divine Spirits who could sit on these thrones would become Councilors, and by utilizing the thrones, they could control power far exceeding their own.

However, the coverage range of the twelve thrones was only within The Council's Territory. Outside this range, these Divine Spirits would lose that kind of power.

Therefore, the Councilors would absolutely never let their true bodies leave The Council's Territory.

He just didn't expect that they could actually use a special method to exert the power of God's Throne outside their Territory.

Although there were limitations, the combined power of the six thrones barely managed to suppress the Galaxy Veil's attack.

"Do you have any other methods? If not, we'll graciously accept... Return Star," booming fluctuations came from the Divine Thrones.

"The entire Universe is ultimately just a chessboard for us and the Star Glory Empire."

"Others are simply far too weak."

This Mental Fluctuation covered the entire battlefield, making all the soldiers who sensed it glare angrily, yet they were powerless.

The Lord of the Ark looked puzzled. According to what Codri said, wasn't the Other-Dimensional Camp supposed to send people to support?

Where were their people?

Could it be they'd been played?

A sense of powerlessness also welled up in the hearts of Aisel and the others, because the reality was indeed like this.

The Civilization Alliance was just an organization caught between The Council and the Empire, originally born out of having to Play Both Sides amidst their conflict.

And Return Star was just one civilization within the Civilization Alliance. Although it was a founding civilization, it was still far from reaching the tier of the Star Glory Empire.

Even if they usually acted tough in the Interstellar political situation, that was because they had the backing of the entire Civilization Alliance's power.

But right now, there was no power from the entire Civilization Alliance to support them.

………

On the Main Planet, Klein gritted her teeth. Although she hadn't had much private time with Digor since she was born.

But right now, she couldn't help but feel some sorrow. She looked at Elton, thought of Li Yu again, and couldn't help but murmur, "I can only... rely on you."

Elton still didn't know what was going on, but upon hearing Klein's words, he instantly sneered: "Your Highness the Princess, back when I identified Li Yu, not a single one of you was willing to stand on my side."

Elton thought that Return Star had now reached its most critical moment and needed all available forces, which was why they released him, wanting him to fight for Return Star.

This made him very displeased.

"At the time, you even thought I was a madman. Yet now you still want me to serve Return Star. Don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

"By the way, where is that Li Yu? Since you trust him so much, let him go fight!"

Klein looked at him like he was an idiot, but was too lazy to explain anything, merely saying softly: "I'm waiting for him right now."

Just as her words fell, Elton still wanted to speak, but his eyes suddenly became dazed, and the Aura on his body began to skyrocket.

Klein, who was relatively close to him, instantly felt this Aura, and the surrounding guards hurriedly protected her behind them: "Your Highness, careful!"

Klein pushed the guards away, walked excitedly towards Elton, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and asked cautiously: "Is... is it... you, Your Excellency God of the Force?"

"Yes..." Elton spoke, his voice completely changed, deep and magnetic.

"You are Klein? That child Li Yu mentioned you to me." Li Yu pretended.

Instantly, Klein's cheeks turned scarlet, and her eyes trembled slightly: "Re... really?"

"Of course it's true, but I don't have much time. I'll chat with you next time I have the chance." Li Yu smiled gently, and then disappeared from there.

Klein took a deep breath, her eyes shimmering with expectant light.

……

"The plan... failed."

In a certain hidden command post, Vimala announced coldly in the communication channel: "Initiate the evacuation plan. All High Echelon are to board the Sky-Shattering Warships, head to the planned refuge locations, Lie Dormant, and await further notice."

For an event capable of shaking the entirety of Return Star, there naturally were various backup plans.

Even if no one wanted to see the scenario of defeat, they still had to make plans for it.

However, right at this moment, the Holographic Screen suddenly switched, locking onto a certain location on the Main Planet.

A subordinate quickly reported: "Unknown Super High-Level Energy Radiation Body detected. It has reached the A5 Level and is still continuously rising."

"What!?" Vimala's expression froze. The location shown on the screen was precisely the Main Planet.

There was actually a lifeform of this tier on the Main Planet?

Was it Digor's killer move?

It was just that under these circumstances, even if another Tier A5 Lifeform appeared, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

"That's..." Vimala looked at that location and suddenly exclaimed in shock: "The Supreme Court!?"

The screen locked onto that energy source, making Vimala even more astounded.

"It's... Elton!?"

She stared at the Holographic Screen. At this moment, Elton's expression was indifferent, his whole body emitting an indescribable Aura, and his physical energy index was continuously climbing.

It had long surpassed the hundred million mark and was advancing towards one billion. And judging by this trend, one billion was far from the limit.

"This, what is going on here?" Vimala was somewhat lost; the sudden turn of events left her baffled.

That definitely wasn't Elton; Elton couldn't possibly have this kind of Strength.

There was a high probability that another lifeform was controlling this Corporeal Form.

Wait...

Vimala suddenly remembered that when Elton identified Li Yu previously, his body also seemed to have been taken over by someone else.

It's the Other-Dimensional Camp!

They really made their move!

Vimala's heart contracted, an unnatural flush appearing on her face, and she quickly said in the channel: "The situation has changed, halt the evacuation for now!"

Many of the High Echelon in the channel were somewhat bewildered. Seeing that they were all ready to Make a quick escape, why was there another accident?

Did that old schemer, His Majesty, still have another contingency plan?

Meanwhile, the four Divine Spirits in the Starry Sky also sensed this sudden, powerful Aura.

It could even be said that their experience was more profound than those Scanners.

"I sense an ocean-like, vast unknown Energy..." The Sun God was bewildered and uncertain, staring at Return Star's Main Planet.

They quickly locked onto that lifeform. In their observation, that wasn't a lifeform, but an unimaginable ocean of power.

"Who are you!?" The God of Death's voice was deathly still and gloomy.

Li Yu raised his head, looking at those six illusory thrones: "I am the incarnation of The Force; you may refer to me as the God of the Force."
