Chapter 4

~7 min read 1,395 words

This efficient, concise, and cold way of thinking made Lord Fu Xuan feel that the scene on the light screen was so absurd.

But Lord Fu Xuan's rationality could not help but make a thought emerge in her mind...

If large-scale mining were carried out on planets destroyed by the arrows of the Reignbow Arbiter, could it supplement the equipment of the Cloud Knights...

"Exquisite design."

At the First Truth University of the Boshixue Society, in the professor's office,

Professor Veritas Ratio, who called himself "Dr. Ratio," looked at the planet-destroying weapon on the light screen and commented from the heart.

"Professor Ratio..." The student beside him could not help but twitch his eyes at Professor Ratio's comment.

Watching such a terrifying scene and still being able to rationally evaluate the weapon that appeared on the light screen, the students could only sigh that it was worthy of Professor Ratio.

Dr. Ratio glanced at the students and commented on his own:

"This weapon named Planetary Explosion and Heavenly Star uses heat flow to detonate the planetary core, and a smaller shockwave can cause the entire planet to fall apart."

"The energy it needs to consume is relatively minimal; the main energy for destroying the planet comes from the planet's own core."

"Efficient, concise, and energy-saving..."

A luster shone in Dr. Ratio's eyes.

He had also spent many years designing an anti-star weapon with his heart's blood, and it had been successfully test-fired by the IPC recently.

But looking at the Colossus on the screen, Ratio felt that his design was inefficient, cumbersome, and energy-intensive.

"Although the principle of this Planetary Explosion and Heavenly Star is simple, it is extremely complex to implement."

"The crust thickness of each planet is different, the core composition is different, the geomagnetic structure is different..."

"... Only with an extremely advanced master control computer can it accurately launch the appropriate heat flow in a short time."

Dr. Ratio estimated in his heart that the master control computer equipped on this Colossus was at least three or four generations ahead of the IPC's most advanced master control computer.

"It's really strange, why has such a powerful civilization never had a name in the universe?"

"..."

Bronya sat limply on the chair.

Her gaze was somewhat terrified; there was actually such a terrifying weapon in the universe.

If it had been this Colossus that invaded Jarilo-VI back then...

Bronya shuddered.

The scene of her home becoming a mine appeared in her mind; it was simply too terrifying.

Bronya sighed deeply.

Belobog was still too weak, too weak, so weak that it was not worth mentioning in this universe, like an ant...

"Your Excellency Supreme Guardian!"

Pela pushed open the door of the Supreme Guardian's office and ran to Bronya's desk in a hurry.

"We received a reply! The massive starship in the sky replied to Belobog..."

Bronya slapped the table and stood up, asking with wide eyes: "What did they say? What is their purpose?"

"They said..."

Pela hesitated for a moment and said:

"The great Emperor, the Lighthouse of Ascension, the Crowned Monarch of the Sea of Stars Community, the Eternal Grand Marshal of the Empire, the Great Khan who hunts the stars..."

Pela took a deep breath and continued:

"The Great Secretary of State for all planets, the Great Dictator looked up to by all people, the Central Node of Array Thinking, the Deified Prophet who wields the Void Realm, the Chief Grand Master of the Poison Saint Knights..."

"The Supreme Leader of humans, cyborgs, augmented humans, psionics, and intelligent machines..."

"The Chief Research Officer of physics, sociology, and engineering..."

"The God of Life, Desire, War, Trickery, Synthesis, and Reincarnation..."

"... The noble Emperor Zhou Xuan will visit your planet, may His holy presence bless your frozen land."

Bronya blinked blankly: "Do we have to receive so many people?"

6. 【Gaia Planet】

Bronya wearily embedded herself into the chair, her head leaning heavily against the backrest, unable to help but sigh.

Just now, she had held a meeting with the officials of Qlipoth Fort, the Architects, and the nobles of Belobog.

At the meeting, everyone was talking at once, expressing their views on the visit of the Emperor with the long title to Belobog.

According to Bronya's thoughts, no matter why this Emperor came, Belobog at least could not lose its manners.

She knew that in the eyes of many interstellar civilizations, Belobogians were just remote planetary barbarians confined to the ground.

But Bronya could not let Belobog truly act like barbarians.

Technological backwardness was hard to catch up with, but at least they could not let people gossip about their manners.

So Bronya stated at the meeting: She wanted to personally welcome that Emperor.

This seemed logical to Bronya.

The other side did not send an envoy, but the supreme ruler visited in person; Belobog should naturally be welcomed by the Supreme Guardian...

However, she only received opposition.

First were the nobles; although their power had been cut back, they still retained seats in the parliament.

They claimed that the huge starship in the sky had entered the star system without Belobog's consent and had not actively notified the Belobog authorities.

This was an extremely rude performance, a contempt for Belobog; Belobog's Supreme Guardian must never bow to rude people.

The Architects expressed fear of the starship suspended in orbit, believing that the visitor was not kind, and it was too dangerous for the Supreme Guardian to welcome them personally.

The officials' worries were similar to the Architects'.

Everyone at the meeting spoke with one voice; the Supreme Guardian was not a true dictator after all, and Bronya had not been in power for long, making it difficult to handle.

In the end, they could only pass the plan for the Silvermane Guard's garrison officer, Mr. Gepard, to welcome them, while bringing a team of guards as an honor guard.

Of course, if the visitor was not kind... Gepard and this team of guards could also immediately enter battle.

But in Bronya's heart, she always felt something was wrong.

"Sigh, it's a pity Seele returned to the Underworld; there isn't even anyone around to discuss this with..."

Just as Bronya was sighing, the light screen at the corner of her eye suddenly lit up and grew larger.

Bronya hurriedly looked over, only to see a line of large characters written on the light screen:

【I would call it efficient—Colossus: Neutron Sweep】

"Colossus: Neutron Sweep?" Dr. Ratio pinched his chin.

It seemed that this Colossus was not the only one.

Or rather, the Colossus was the warship itself, and the planet-destroying weapons that could be loaded on it were not just one kind?

"Efficient?"

Dr. Ratio murmured this word gently.

In his view, the Planetary Explosion and Heavenly Star was already efficient enough.

It only needed relatively little energy to quickly destroy a planet.

Even after destroying a planet, it could promote mining development.

In this way, did it not deserve the word efficient?

Herta looked at the four words "Neutron Sweep" appearing on the light screen and had some vague guesses.

Such a weapon had indeed been conceived in the universe.

But no force had ever truly manufactured it.

First, to achieve that dream-like effect, what was needed was not just destructive power, but unimaginable precision.

Second... that kind of weapon was simply too far beyond the moral bottom line of the beings in the universe.

She saw the scene on the light screen shift.

It was a seaside city composed of arcs, spheres, and fluid shapes, built in a lush forest, integrated with nature.

Residents like starfish shuttled between the streets.

They reached out to the shrubs by the street, and the shrubs bore crystal-clear fruits.

They waved to the birds in the sky, and the birds brought seeds; the seeds were buried in the soil, and brilliant flowers grew.

The air was filled with the sweet smell of flowers and fruits, the climate was mild and suitable, and everything on the planet was harmonious and orderly, completely suitable for the survival of any life.

The light screen constantly filmed the scene on this planet, and the beautiful life and perfect natural environment made everyone in the universe unable to help but widen their eyes.

This planet was so beautiful that it did not look like it was formed naturally.
