Chapter 88

"What a coincidence! What an evil plan, Screwllum... the Zro were completely played."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Herta's mouth,

"Even if the Evangelists defeated the Ascensionists, I'm afraid they would be left with less than one in ten, or even completely perish."

"The Void Realm gods used this to eat the Zro race clean; how sinister."

"Not only that, Ms. Herta."

Screwllum looked at the light screen and added:

"The dust produced after the Zro burned themselves can also help other races awaken psionic power and amplify the abilities of psionicists."

"In other words, it will continuously create psionicists for other newborn races."

"And these species that awakened psionic power will likely also become bait for the Void Realm gods."

A light flashed in Screwllum's mechanical eyes:

"They used the remains of the Zro to weave a net, framing all the living beings of the universe for countless years to come into it."

"All races born from this are destined to be swallowed by the Void Realm gods."

Just as Screwllum was speaking,

the scene on the light screen changed,

and the Calamity Empire's ships sailed into a star system shrouded in a strange storm,

everything in this star system seemed to be half-immersed in the Void Realm, looming.

【"We successfully located the Zro's home planet."】

【"This planet has been completely destroyed by the psionic storm, and it is only in the same plane as other spaces in the universe at certain times."】

【"We can only float up to the Void Realm and log in to the Zro planet from the Void Realm to seek to collapse the Zro's ending."】

87. 【Bronya: As long as I am poor enough, I am not afraid of debt collection】

The Calamity Empire exploration team on the light screen logged in to the Zro's home planet through the Void Realm,

this planet was still exactly the same as the Zro home planet discovered before, empty and silent.

However, the surface of this planet, which was soaked by the Void Realm, was covered with pale purple crystals used as psionic archives,

these crystals were scattered like stars, densely filling every street and every building on the planet,

as if the meaning of this planet's existence was to serve as the purpose of the Zro, and these pale purple crystals were their tombstones.

"So many crystals, what exactly happened in the Zro civil war?"

"Who won? The Ascensionists or the Evangelists?"

"Do you think there are still living Zro on this planet?"

All living beings in the universe looked at this bizarre scene and couldn't help but discuss endlessly.

On the light screen, inside the Zro star,

the pale purple mist of the Void Realm drifted in every corner of the streets, and the sky was also covered by purple clouds,

the entire planet was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if a pair of eyes were hidden in these strange mists, quietly staring at every corner of this planet,

even, between the purple clouds twisting into vortices in the sky, a few magnificent gazes were faintly cast down,

it seemed that in the High Heavens, gods were staring at this planet.

The Calamity Empire's psionicists prayed in a low voice to the Emperor of the Empire and used psionic energy to support a barrier, blocking the gazes that seemed to be there or not.

They began to investigate the crystals scattered all over the planet, and in a period of time, they obtained a lot of valuable information.

【"A record from an exiled Void Realm entity researcher provided us with valuable information."】

【"The Zro dust obtained at the cost of life brought a turning point for the Evangelists."】

【"They had the power to fight the Ascensionists."】

【"However, as the shadow of war gradually expanded, the Evangelists' act of burning compatriots to obtain power, and the Ascensionists' anger and fear further catalyzed the awakening of terrifying Void Realm entities."】

【"These further awakened Void Realm entities pushed the war to become more and more intense."】

【"This feedback loop continued to develop, pushing the Ascensionists into an abyss of madness, creating even more shocking atrocities."】

【"And the Evangelists tried to end this war at all costs."】

The light screen reflected the war between the Ascensionists and the Evangelists back then,

the intensity of the Zro war became more and more intense, the Ascensionists became more and more crazy and wantonly squandered the power of the Void Realm,

while the Evangelists constantly burned their compatriots, becoming fewer in population while becoming more powerful.

The collision between the two, as if they were gods, made all the living beings in the universe watching this scene feel horrified,

countless star systems were destroyed and created in this process, nebulae were shattered and gathered, black holes were generated and decompressed,

the entire galaxy was burning.

The scene on the light screen, which made the soul tremble, made the fingers of Bronya, who was holding a teacup, tremble slightly.

Topaz, sitting opposite her, also had her eyes slightly shaken,

watching this situation, discussing the fate of a small, remote planet, put some pressure on both of their minds.

"Supreme Guardian Bronya, let's keep it short."

Topaz put the teacup on the table and looked at Bronya in front of her:

"In a formal negotiation, may I ask a question... which civilization does the starship floating on your planet belong to?"

Belonging to the Calamity Empire... listening to Topaz's question, Bronya's mouth twitched slightly,

although she had expected that this IPC representative would definitely ask this question,

but when she really asked it, Bronya's mood was still a bit hard to handle, and she could only follow the draft she had prepared:

"They belong to a place outside the universe and arrived here after a long journey."

"If you are curious about them, I can act as a liaison and try to facilitate a meeting between the IPC and them."

Bronya was not sure about the Calamity Empire's attitude toward the IPC,

and even less sure about the IPC's reaction to the Calamity Empire,

if the IPC were stupid enough to launch an attack on the Calamity Empire,

then at that time, Bronya dared not imagine what kind of terrifying result the enraged Calamity Empire would cause.

Noticing the evasion in Bronya's tone, Topaz cast a strange look.

"It wouldn't be the Calamity Empire, would it?" Topaz said jokingly.

"That would be scary enough." Bronya's mouth twitched without a trace, and she hurriedly used an awkward smile to cover up the topic.

She looked at Topaz and said: "Let's talk about the matter between us and the IPC first, Ms. Topaz."

"Hmm..." Topaz nodded gently and sent a bill to Bronya.

"As you can see, the Architects back then borrowed from the IPC to build a large number of machines to resist the Antimatter Legion."

"This debt, after hundreds of years of interest, is already an astronomical figure... I think your planet will be difficult to repay for a quite long time in the future."

Saying that, Topaz looked at the nearly narrow Belobog and the snowfields outside Belobog:

"Your planet is too barren, and the people are living very hard."

Topaz originally thought that Bronya, who heard these words, would be shaken,

but Bronya's expression remained calm, and no emotion could be seen behind it.

This made Topaz's heart feel a slight shock,

facing an astronomical bill that was almost too long to write down and the fact that her planet was extremely barren,

this Supreme Guardian could still hide her mood behind a calm appearance,

neither showing sorrow nor feeling angry.

Topaz had seen many reactions when facing debt collection,

embarrassment, evasion, anger, panic, sorrow, fear..

But she had never seen Bronya's flat expression,

as if for the things she had faced before, the IPC's pressure was not worth mentioning.

"Damn, is the political environment of this planet quite bad?"

"What kind of political monster has this Supreme Guardian fought against to hone such a spirit?"

Topaz couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"So, what does the IPC mean?" Bronya tapped the document on the table with her finger and asked.

"To be honest, at least the current Belobog does not have the ability to pay off the debt at once."

"And... this debt is a bit unreasonable, right." ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
