Chapter 128: Xisi's Dream Illusion Vessel?

~6 min read 1,174 words

The bombed, shrunken Longlin Star, under Washituoer's control, forcibly disappeared from the void, leaving only a field of debris floating in midair.

And as even Washituoer fled this place, the space that had been roaring for a long time finally welcomed a long‑awaited silence.

In the remnants of the Empire Fleet floating in the void, the one‑in‑a‑hundred survivors collapsed in total relaxation on the ground while marveling that, under Xisi's leadership, this chaotic battle could still achieve such an exaggerated survival rate.

With a hundred people, only ninety‑nine need to die to claim victory at this level of war; if other battlefields were the same, humanity might even dare to counter‑attack Subspace!

A large number of flying servitors and Servo Skulls flew out of the ship without hesitation, beginning a full‑scale scavenging repair of the damaged warship.

While the Empire's warships on this side were covered in dense welded light points, on the other side of the fleet that massive leviathan, under Xisi's command, further devoured any usable debris nearby.

At the same time, under the gaze of Shiwang and the others, the Ominous Sign Ark that was again absorbing debris suddenly halted the expansion of its already grotesquely bloated body and instead began a visible 'wriggle'…

The Ominous Sign Ark began to condense!

The circular hull now resembled a massive space egg.

The Giant Egg slowly traversed the sea of debris, greedily absorbing all the 'nutrients' around it into its body.

Then the Giant Egg continuously shrank, not only swallowing the newly‑grown Dead Spirits on the hull surface, along with their weapons, but even the cramped, bizarre wrecked hulls began to slowly 'melt' toward the Giant Egg's center.

And the Ominous Sign Ark core, unseen by Shiwang and the others.

Xisi watched the constantly shifting Bridge before him, and the dense projections displaying scenes outside the Ominous Sign Ark; Xisi could only wonder what his desired warship, the Empire Point Aolake, would ultimately become.

Although the current hull is massive and terrifying, delivering a strong visual impact to the enemy, such a bloated shape not only makes it easy for the enemy to target, but also renders its flattened defense weak everywhere.

With the same power Void Shield, protecting a warship versus protecting a planet yields a naturally vast difference in defensive strength.

Transforming the bloated body into a compact, condensed ultimate warship is clearly more combat‑effective than retaining the sluggish, bloated Ominous Sign Ark body.

However, as the conversion progressed, idle Xisi, through one of the projections, saw a scene.

It was a mass of fallen warriors' corpses, spat out directly by Aolake.

At this moment, as the surrounding debris dwindled, the corpses encircling the Giant Egg actually increased.

Although many of them were Chaos traitors, the overwhelming majority were loyal dead.

And they were all loyal ones who, with supreme courage, launched a desperate charge against the enemy.

Even now, even if only through the projection, Xisi could feel the lingering souls on these fallen bodies, their despair and fear toward the cold universe.

"Wait."

Xisi suddenly spoke, and the continuously condensing warship abruptly halted as a Servo Skull flew in from the side.

"Something wrong?"

Aolake's voice came from the Servo Skull, then briefly analyzed Xisi's expression and gaze, and without waiting for Xisi to answer, immediately enlarged the projection Xisi was viewing.

The projection at that moment showed the dead warriors' remains spread into an ocean; Aolake gave it a serious look and then spoke:

"These materials are inferior; absorbing them would waste energy on conversion, and the resulting material would be extremely scarce, so I choose a more efficient disregard approach."

Aolake is also very rational, but unlike the Mechanical Sect Rationality which lacks humanity; after a pause, Aolake turned back to Xisi and added seriously:

"Of course, if you, sir, cannot bear to watch them slip into the endless void, I can also integrate them into the hull, letting them..."

"continue the war... across the galaxy."

Unable to resist, Xisi glanced at Aolake, and even slightly lifted his eyes, thinking, this kid actually has some humanity!

And Aolake immediately interpreted Xisi's expression; the Servo Skull couldn't help but circle up and down, as if cheering, and without waiting for Xisi's reply, proactively moved toward the mass of dead corpses.

Meanwhile, Xisi was not idle; he drew forth some divine power and solemnly sat back onto the Mechanical Throne.

After the connector was engaged, Xisi again felt himself become this warship.

Simultaneously, as the densely packed loyal corpses were absorbed by Aolake, those bodies' souls merged into the warship and began to appear in the ship's data abyss; thereafter, within this equally endless abyss, Xisi, radiating divine power, shone upon them like warm sunlight.

Then, as if already aware of the mission Xisi gave them, a multitude of souls, guided by divine power, began to fully integrate into the soon‑to‑be‑formed warship.

And Aolake also felt his body begin to emanate a force completely different from cold machinery.

It was Heroic Spirit Blessing, capable of dispelling Evil Spell Curse and granting the ship's crew infinite tranquil divine power.

Aolake did not know where this power came from, nor what it meant.

Yet, among the distant Empire Remnant, some senior State Church Priests could clearly sense the changes inside the Giant Egg.

Several aged priests, clad in divine robes, covered in blood scabs, and bearing chain‑saw swords, staggered forward in shock.

Then they looked at each other, confirming their perception was correct.

"How is this…"

"Sanctified?!"

The Living Saint is a human who has been sanctified; previously such manifestation only appeared on living beings, and this was their first time seeing a warship become sanctified.

"What does this count as?"

"Holy Ship?!"

The senior State Church Priests were stunned; inside the Giant Egg, Xisi also felt the warship's transformation.

The entire warship, as countless heroic souls merged, even from a soul's perspective, began to emit light.

These radiances could not only grant allied souls protection and warmth, but also suppress the vast majority of demonic curses and anomalies.

Even the Ominous Sign Ark's built‑in navigation beacon, as the warship continuously sanctified, faintly acquired a hint of Star Torch.

Combined with the Divine Emperor's Divine Power that Xisi contributed, the navigators on the other side even witnessed, right before their eyes, a weakened Mobile Star Torch slowly emerging in Subspace.

So the stunned State Church Priests froze in place, and the navigators stared at each other, unsure what to say.

Until the distant Giant Egg completely dissolved, its 'shell' even devoured by Aolake, a super‑warship far beyond ordinary battleships—and even slightly larger than the Radiant Queen Class—slowly revealed its true form.

In Subspace, this is a Mobile Star Torch.

In the eyes of souls, it is a Holy Ship radiating light and heat.

In the living's eyes, everyone suddenly froze in place, and Shiwang, unable to bear it any longer, straightened his right hand and pointed directly:

"This this this…"

"How did this turn the Divine Emperor's Dream Illusion Vessel into…?!"
