Chapter 132: Assign the Alert Star to Him

The Radiant Queen Class battleship originating from Mars,

Every Radiant Queen is the Empire's undisputed super flagship.

Even after the Dream Illusion Vessel was blown up by Helusu, it further became the Human Empire's premier Radiant Queen and cutting sword.

Of course, that premise excludes Xisi's new flagship.

And as the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds, the Governor of the Second Empire and the Imperial Regent of the First Empire, Kiriman.

Its flagship Makulag's Radiance is also one of the few Radiant Queen warships the Human Empire has today.

At this moment, within Kiriman's office, which is lavish and palace‑like.

Not only does Kiriman mutter to himself as he watches the screen, but the legendary team behind him—under the living saint Saint Saile Siting, the Ancient Judge Ge Lei Fakesi, and the Gray Knight Grand Mentor Wo Da Si—also watches the screen in silence.

More centrally, the attendant Mechanical Church Grand Sage Kao Er and Extreme Warrior Brigade Leader Kaerjia have been dispatched, leading other indomitable fleets to carry out Kiriman's orders.

And the people behind Kiriman alternately glance at the screen and at Kiriman.

To be exact, they are watching their own Imperial Regent who just woke up, whose eyes have suddenly sprouted two panda eyes.

It feels as if Kiriman was sleeping soundly, then suddenly inexplicably got two Bangbang punches to his face.

Then, unable to continue sleeping, he gets up, runs to the accompanying ship's star‑communication room, and with near‑mad urgency, frantically sends Terra dozens of messages.

Even during the transmission, he repeatedly strongly demanded that the garrisoned Terra's Imperial Guard Marshal Tu La Zhen must also give each of those high lords two Bangbang punches!

His concern even reaches the point that whenever the war eases a bit, he specifically asks, not far away, Marshal Tu La Zhen whether he has strictly carried out his Bangbang two‑punch demand.

Such attentiveness and odd behavior naturally piqued everyone's curiosity about the two panda eyes on Kiriman's eyes.

Perhaps sensing the legendary team's gaze behind him, Kiriman cleared his throat lightly and diverted everyone's attention.

Then he glanced at Gray Knight Grand Mentor Wo Da Si, his look hinting at saying something else to him.

Wo Da Si, looking at the two panda eyes and Kiriman's flickering small eyes, quickly withdrew his gaze, trying to stay as calm as possible.

After a brief thought, he recalled a recent major event.

He looked straight up at Kiriman, Wo Da Si's face full of seriousness:

"Imperial Regent, could we allow this... uh, Xisi... Lord, to rush to aid Terra?"

The dignified Gray Knight Grand Mentor actually addressed a mortal as 'Lord'.

The senior attendants further back, upon seeing this, could not help but bury their heads in frowns, their faces full of bewilderment.

Although Wo Da Si spoke haltingly, after finishing he didn't think anything was wrong.

After all, a master who can single‑handedly destroy a battleship, wield a Light Spear to pull Abadon out and strike it, how could he not be called 'Lord'?

Moreover, this master is an Imperial envoy, already aligned with Kiriman; otherwise Wo Da Si would also want to stay by Xisi's side, constantly receiving Xisi... oh no, the influence of the Divine Emperor behind Xisi.

Kiriman, upon hearing that, showed no surprise in his eyes, merely looked at the other attendants and, with great composure, sat behind his own desk:

"What do the others think about this?"

Judge Ge Lei Fakesi then spoke directly in a serious tone:

"Given Xisi's current military strength, even if he went to Terra, it would likely be of no use."

Speaking, Ge Lei Fakesi looked up at Kiriman, who was deliberately slightly bowed, covering the two panda eyes, and feverishly writing.

"Could we first allocate a Conscription World for Xisi's legion to replenish troops, and then rush to aid Terra?"

Grand Mentor Wo Da Si, upon hearing this, frowned:

"But Terra's side..."

"It's urgent!"

Ge Lei Fakesi, unusually, did not rebut upon hearing that, but opened his mouth and could not speak.

Wo Da Si continued:

"Given the Empire's current situation, where is there any world that can simultaneously meet Lord Xisi's demands for manpower, industry, and scale?"

"Even if there were..."

"Alert Star, designate the Alert Star as Xisi's Conscription World."

Kiriman suddenly spoke, cutting off Wo Da Si, and then directly picked up the document he had just written and pushed it before everyone.

Those around him lit up at hearing the name, after all, as the successor to Kadia, it is the Empire's most important fortress world.

Even though the Alert Star has not yet been assigned to Xisi, the Empire has already employed every means to rebuild and restore it.

And as a massive world capable of housing hundreds of billions of people, it can indeed provide Xisi with a sufficiently large army.

Only...

This time, not only Wo Da Si but even Ge Lei Fakesi hesitated:

"If it were earlier, certainly possible, but now..."

Kiriman, seeing that the others neither directly opposed nor only hesitated, took the document and handed it directly to the nearby Military Affairs Department official.

He then stood up, slowly walked to the viewport, gazed at the world beyond, and after a half‑minute of silence, spoke slowly:

"Given the current situation, this amount of time..."

"... is there a better option?"

"Moreover, Xisi is originally an Alert Star native; assigning the Alert Star to him as a Conscription World, he would presumably accept it willingly."

The people behind fell silent; they merely watched the Military Affairs Department official depart with the document personally signed by Kiriman, formally assigning the Alert Star as Xisi's Conscription World.

Then everyone withdrew their gaze from the document, and Wo Da Si spoke again:

"Should we also send the news of the aid to Terra?"

Kiriman, without turning, continued to stare out the viewport, responding very calmly:

"No need, Xisi, this message is already on its way."

The others furrowed their brows, exchanging glances, all wondering who had sent the message to Xisi so quickly.

It could not possibly be...

No one dared to call his name in their hearts; they merely brushed the still‑tender panda‑eyes, and Kiriman spoke for them:

"Not bad, it's the Divine Emperor."

The others: "???!!!"

"What does that mean?"

"The Divine Emperor doesn't guard his Original Body, yet he goes to stare at a mortal?!"

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes a bit, while on the other side Kiriman looked toward the distant view outside the porthole and let out a sigh.

Then he finally made room, bringing the scenery outside the porthole inside.

"As for Terra, we've done everything we can."

"Now, consider yourselves for a change."

Upon hearing that, the various emotions on everyone's faces vanished instantly; then, looking at the opened porthole Kiriman had cleared, they too were stunned for a moment before all sighing together.

At the same time, pair after pair of eyes turned to the view beyond the porthole: a dark void devoid of any communication or star‑speech, a silent cosmos where even the distant stars' light was faint and weak, as if a dead zone where no light, heat, or even souls existed!

The star not far away, which was youthful and vibrant just yesterday, now appears visibly cold to the naked eye.

Beside the dead‑still star, the densely packed Empire Fleet, docked here for repairs, rolls through the cold void unharmed.

Looking at those warships without lights or engines, the Empire's former glory has inexplicably become a steel coffin filled with corpses.

Only a small remnant of the fleet remains, circling Makulag's Radiance, facing the surrounding dark cosmos where the Green Radiance gradually brightens...

Endless Undead Fleet!
