Chapter 6

Sweeping away all intelligent life, leaving only an empty planet.

This cold and efficient way of doing things made even him feel a chill.

But at the same time, some doubts arose in Aventurine's heart...

Where did this so-called Disaster Empire come from? And where is it now?

Why had he never heard of the existence of such a civilization?

"Could it be..."

Aventurine could not help but glance at the star map suspended in the center of the starship.

This star map, built around the Silver Rail of Trailblaze, was the known star territory of the civilizations in the universe.

The imaginary barrier between star systems was not something mortals could do; most civilizations could only cross the sea of stars with the help of the great power of Aeons and Paths.

The most important way was the Silver Rail shaped by the Aeon of Trailblaze, "Akivili."

But Trailblaze also had an end; after Akivili fell, the cause of Trailblaze was blocked, the star map stopped expanding, and many isolated worlds continued to be isolated...

But who could say that outside the Silver Rail of Trailblaze, among the unknown stars, there were no other powerful civilizations that had crossed the sea of stars with their own wisdom?

"A great enemy from outside the known world of the beings of the universe?"

Aventurine leaned on the sofa, closing his eyes slightly:

"Oswald Schneider, why don't you try to trailblaze their business."

Thinking of that bastard supervisor of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department, Aventurine hummed and laughed.

Belobog, Underworld, in Natasha's clinic,

"Seele, your expression doesn't look very good."

Natasha put the used scalpel and other instruments into the high-temperature disinfection cabinet, turned her head, and said to Seele, who was sitting on the side.

Seele supported her face with one hand, leaning on the chair with a frown, sighing from time to time.

"Seeing the life of a planet slaughtered... no, that can't be called slaughter, that's simply pest removal."

Seele shook her head with an ugly expression and said:

"Seeing that kind of terrifying scene, anyone's expression wouldn't look good."

"But it's not just because of this, right?" Natasha smiled.

She watched Seele grow up; how could she not anticipate this child's thoughts.

Natasha said: "Compared to fear and fright, you are more worried now."

"Tsk." Seele, who was seen through by Natasha, nodded, holding her head and complaining: "It's about Bronya."

"She said she wanted to consult my opinion."

"You've heard it too, right? A huge starship suddenly appeared in the sky outside, and it didn't give Belobog any notification at all."

"I know." Natasha nodded; this news had already spread throughout the Upper and Underworlds.

She had also seen the photos taken by people in the Upper World; that massive starship made Natasha estimate...

It was at least as massive as this planet, Jarilo-VI; Natasha could only sigh at the power of interstellar civilization.

"Now there's an Emperor on that starship with a super long title who sounds super awesome coming to visit, and Bronya is holding a meeting to discuss whether to welcome them personally."

Seele remembered the message Bronya sent her on her phone and could not help but sigh again:

"The nobles said we can't lose face and absolutely must not welcome them personally."

"The officials of Qlipoth Fort feel it's unsafe and also oppose Bronya welcoming them personally."

"Now Bronya is very worried and insists on consulting my opinion... I don't understand the twists and turns of their Upper World at all!"

"Anyway, I remember what you taught me when I was a child: if there are guests, you must welcome them politely."

Saying this, Seele raised her head and looked at Natasha, asking: "Nat, do you think—Nat?"

Seele noticed that Natasha's face was quite ugly; anger, worry, and gloom were entrenched in her expression.

As if something bad was about to happen.

"Are the officials of the Upper World really so stupid and arrogant to this extent?"

"They actually started acting temperamental toward an existence far more powerful than themselves?! And to provoke them for a moment of safety, causing even greater disaster?!"

9. 【The Disaster Empire Should Naturally Have Magnanimity!】

Zhou Xuan, wearing lazy pajamas, stood up from the throne covered in cables and stretched his muscles and bones.

He was no longer a body of flesh and blood; the action of stretching his muscles and bones was more of a habit from the past.

Xiao Hui, who noticed Zhou Xuan getting up, walked over, holding a coat to drape over him.

Xiao Hui looked at the somewhat empty coat and took a few medals from the shelf beside the throne to hang on Zhou Xuan.

"This one is the medal commemorating your hundred years of loyalty to the empire."

Zhou Xuan laughed dumbly, pointing to the medal on his chest and saying:

"This is the Gray Wind fifty-year loyalty medal to the empire, and this is the medal from ten years ago when you were loyal."

"These are all days worth commemorating." Xiao Hui said with her hands on her hips.

"Will you be responsible for diplomacy with the Jarilo-VI civilization later?"

Zhou Xuan let Xiao Hui comb his messy black hair with her fingers and could not help but laugh and say:

"Is it necessary to be so serious?"

"It's not for that small pre-light-speed civilization, it's for Your Majesty's rare outing."

Xiao Hui shook her head and said:

"And diplomacy, believe me, I have no problem!"

"Or should I go to the leader library and unfreeze a legendary diplomat leader."

"Believe me, I have learned diplomatic skills in advance."

Xiao Hui patted her chest confidently and said:

"This Gray is now a professional diplomat."

"You must reflect the empire's benevolence and gentleness, and also reflect the empire's civilized etiquette, and let the barbarians of this planet feel the empire's demeanor and style." Zhou Xuan said with a light laugh.

"Rest assured, this Gray is now a benevolent, gentle, and civilized diplomat."

Xiao Hui blinked, signaling Zhou Xuan to rest assured.

"This Gray's speech is naturally elegant and polite, letting the poor barbarians feel the empire's demeanor."

Then she grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand gently and said: "Let's go!"

Zhou Xuan nodded slightly and said with a smile again: "Remember, you must reflect the empire's magnanimity."

Saying this, the small psionic jump started, and the scene before the two drifted like mist.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in a fortress city shrouded in wind and snow...

A phantom mist suddenly floated before Gepard's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, two figures appeared from the mist.

One was a gray-haired woman wearing a slim military uniform.

Her appearance was handsome and cute, perfect enough to make one doubt whether she was human or some kind of god-made sculpture.

One was a black-haired man wearing a coat, with lazy pajamas under the coat.

The man's gaze was indifferent and casual, calmly sweeping across Gepard's face.

In an instant, Gepard could not help but shiver.

He felt as if he had been seen through by those eyes, from the smallest cell to a life containing the past and future.

Gepard suspected that it was not an illusion, but he did not dare to neglect the two alien visitors before him.

So he hurriedly took a breath, calmed his mood, walked forward, and said:

"Are you two the Empire's Secretary of State, Ms. Gray Wind, and the Empire's Emperor, Your Majesty Zhou Xuan?"

"I am Gepard, the garrison officer of the Belobog Silvermane Guard, representing the Supreme Guardian and the entire Belobog, welcoming your visit."

"Your Excellency Supreme Guardian is waiting in Qlipoth Fort to meet with you two—"

"Despicable barbarian! I'll fuck your mother!"

The gray-haired woman standing beside the lazy man took a step forward, pointing at Gepard's face and scolding:

"Ghosts and gods have taken away your souls!"

"The empire was originally of a benevolent heart, just wanting to bless your country!"

"But you are insane and acting perversely!"

"Actually letting a small garrison officer come to welcome the noble Emperor of the Empire! Bah!"
