Chapter 14

"The Empire only defines its own citizens as pure humans, and the rest are aliens."

Zhou Xuan said plainly:

"Being able to be called a human is a great glory."

Bronya could not help but shudder again.

No matter how many times, facing the Empire's near-abnormal values, Bronya could not get used to it.

She only felt numb and cold all over.

But she still braced herself and handed a document in her arms to the Emperor of the Empire before her.

"Emperor Zhou Xuan, this is a list of Belobog's products."

"And a list of technologies including our unique machine soldier manufacturing technology, Eternal Freeze constant temperature technology, medical and biological technology."

Bronya took a deep breath and said:

"Belobog hopes to develop trade and exchange with the Empire... in a peaceful way."

Xiao Hui, sitting beside Zhou Xuan, cast a surprised look at Bronya.

That look seemed to be saying, what is this barbarian thinking?

(Fell asleep in the afternoon, just woke up. jpg)

20. 【Herta:?】

"The Empire is an empire of love and peace."

Zhou Xuan picked up the list of technologies and flipped through it casually:

"We also have vassals responsible for trade, but the premise of trade is equivalent exchange."

"Belobog is of course willing to exchange equivalently." Bronya listened to Zhou Xuan's words, and a light shone in her eyes.

"Belobog has unique machine soldier technology; we are confident that this is unique to Belobog, you can—"

"Pardon me for being blunt."

Xiao Hui, sitting beside Zhou Xuan, interrupted Bronya's words:

"The Empire has a unique fire-drilling technology; are you willing to exchange it?"

"This..." Bronya was stunned.

Her understanding of technology was limited, but she was not stupid.

Bronya understood that what Xiao Hui wanted to express was: in front of the Disaster Empire, the technology unique to Belobog was just a unique fire-drilling.

"We have just arrived in this universe, and the content in that light screen is biased."

Zhou Xuan reached out his hand and waved, signaling Xiao Hui that there was no need to say more:

"You don't know enough about the Empire; now you haven't broken through the shackles of light speed, seeing the Empire like a frog in a well seeing the bright moon."

"When your civilization is lucky enough to rank among superluminal civilizations one day, you will see the Empire like a plankton seeing the blue sky."

"... It's us who are too weak." Bronya's face turned a little pale.

"You don't need to be self-deprecating." Zhou Xuan reached out his hand and rubbed Bronya's silver hair gently like a gentle elder.

Bronya raised her head blankly; Zhou Xuan's large hand was unusually warm.

This Emperor before her was gentle, lazy, but not lacking in majesty, and his tone revealed absolute mastery of the entire world.

This made Bronya's heart tremble slightly.

She looked at Zhou Xuan; it felt as if she had vaguely seen the missing father figure in her growth.

But Zhou Xuan was more like an elder of an entire young civilization; his gentleness and tolerance were not just for Bronya, but for the entire Belobog.

"Here is a sugar cube; can you draw this sugar cube and yourself on the star map in the same proportion?"

Looking at the tiny sugar cube pinched by Zhou Xuan's fingertips, Bronya was slightly stunned: "How can this be drawn..."

"Can't draw it, right? Even the thinnest pen of your civilization can't draw it, right?"

Zhou Xuan gently threw this sugar cube into the teacup:

"For the vast stars, a person and a sugar cube are both a tiny point."

"Your civilization and the power you speak of are also a tiny point for the Empire."

Bronya showed a confused expression.

She seemed to understand, but had no real feeling.

Saying this, Zhou Xuan walked to the window with a smile, looking at the warm sun behind the hazy clouds in the sky.

"It seems that I still have to use actual cases to show this universe..."

He touched his chin, pointed to the sun in the sky, looked at Bronya, and asked:

"See that thing in the sky?"

"You mean... the sun?" Bronya blinked blankly: "I see it..."

"Good, you won't see it soon."

In the Herta Space Station,

One of Herta's puppets pinched her chin, observing the scene when the Disaster Empire's starship jumped, which she had extracted from her memory.

The Disaster Empire's starship in the screen burst out with some kind of light purple radiance, and the space around it produced a distortion and wave.

Then, in the blink of an eye... the Disaster Empire's starship crossed dozens of star systems and appeared in the distant deep space.

"This is not conventional jump technology; the Disaster Empire's starship didn't accelerate at all..."

"... Could it be that it broke the continuity of space-time and forcibly erased the distance between the destination and the departure point?"

Herta's eyes could not help but twitch.

Herta had not seen this situation before.

The light arrow shot by the Aeon of Hunt "Lan," or other things blessed by Him, might appear to have this characteristic.

Breaking the continuity of space-time, arriving at the destination at the same time as departing... or even arriving at the destination before departing.

What truly made Herta see an explosion was that this thing was actually used on civilian merchant ships selling canned food in the Disaster Empire.

"Damn it, is the Disaster Empire all Aeons? This kind of bizarre technology that can be called a divine skill is actually mass-produced goods."

Herta could not help but curse.

She rarely felt a problem, and could not help but hammer the window.

"Sooner or later I will reproduce it, just wait."

Herta muttered to herself somewhat stubbornly——————

Herta suddenly noticed a trace of strangeness; why did the light in the room dim a bit?

She raised her head and looked around; the lights in the room were all operating normally, it could only be...

Herta looked out the window blankly.

Outside the porthole of the space station, in the position where the hot star was originally, only a piece of pitch black remained...

Along with the stars shining in the dark deep space, they also disappeared together.

"?" A huge question mark appeared on Herta's head.

22. 【As simple as turning off the light】

Herta's puppet widened her eyes, looking at the pitch-black void outside the window.

No sun, and not half a star's light.

Only a piece of empty darkness, a piece of deep void.

"What happened?" Even Herta, the smartest brain in the universe, could not understand everything that happened before her in an instant.

All the stars in the universe disappeared at the same moment...

On the Blue Planet, in a laboratory that looked ordinary,

a woman with waist-length hair like velvet, looking like an adult version of Herta's puppet, walked out slowly.

She looked at the sky of the Blue Planet with a heavy and distorted face.

The sky was gloomy and lightless, the sun was nowhere to be found, and the stars also melted into the darkness,

along with the entire earth being shrouded in shadows; only the lights that occasionally lit up on the ground could briefly dispel the darkness falling from the universe.

"The sun disappeared? All the stars disappeared?"

"No, that's not right, this is..."

The Herta Space Station fell into a brief chaos.
