Did you seriously think we’d be generating all that power ourselves?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Earth said this, the hologram changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shzzzzzt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer composed of countless hexagons formed on the surface of the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Seems like the high price tag came with some nice features.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is that?

The planetary ship’s propulsion remains active, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was basically asking if a moving shot was possible, and Earth nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Technically, the propulsion engines will shut down during firing, but if we accelerate powerfully beforehand to account for it…』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, inertia would allow for a moving shot—at least, that was Earth’s assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And around that time, Svera, jumped in with a horrified expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Y-you’re planning to move and shoot?!

So that's what his title means?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo mulled over Jupiter's moniker, black waves began to ripple through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwaaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the center of the pitch-black waves, a vaguely human silhouette started to take shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes wide, Yeongwoo finally realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky-filling waves were, in fact, Jupiter's cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Earth, you insolent one. What have you done?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jupiter, cloaked in a garment vast enough to engulf the heavens, slowly descended in altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he did, what had looked like a tiny figurine began to grow in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So the planets of the solar system all appear in human form. This is getting interesting.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, like Svera, Jupiter wasn’t exactly human in appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was ashen gray, completely devoid of hair, and his body—though naked—lacked any reproductive organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse yet, his eyes were entirely white, with no pupils in sight, which made him even more unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud thunderclap roared from within Jupiter’s cloak, causing Earth to nervously bend and straighten its knees, stealing glances at Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth was torn—should it kneel before Jupiter in accordance with the solar system’s hierarchy, or follow this insane human representative and cross a line from which there’d be no return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Earth’s hesitation, Yeongwoo spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Earth. You can peek at Jupiter's coordinates, can’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『…What?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth looked even more terrified now than when Jupiter had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s when Yeongwoo dropped a chilling line, right into Earth's ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When are you gonna stop living like a spineless little punk? Fire the damn shot and start a new life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, everyone present heard him say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Svera, who had already knelt early on, and Voltu—Jupiter—looming above the sky, glaring down at Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『So you're the root of this chaos, huh.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voltu turned his head, his blank eyes fixed on Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo met his gaze and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dumbass.
