Chapter 304: Only Amplification Remains

Attack ineffective.

The Silent King and Aolake, upon seeing this scene, even paused before reacting.

Having grown accustomed to fighting the Empire, they never considered that humanity could still evade.

Following the ineffective attack, in response, the massive golden Xisi began to slowly lift his head, directing his gaze toward the vast Undead Fleet.

Although the overwhelming majority of the lower tiers of the Dead Spirits have had their self-awareness completely erased.

But the middle and upper tiers, even the slightly unique expendable units, still retain self-awareness.

At this moment, as the massive middle and upper tiers of the Undead Fleet watch helplessly, a head as large as a star slowly lifts, its gaze, filled with golden thunder, fixed upon them.

The 'fear' still preserved deep within the personality core was, at this moment, unexpectedly awakened.

This fear does not stem from fear of Xisi; looking at the scene before them, they feel as if they have returned to the ancient era of the Fearful Dead.

Dead Spirits fear death!

They are very afraid of death!

Thus, the name this race left for other galactic species is simply 'Fearful Dead'.

Now, watching Xisi's Law of Heaven and Earth, they unexpectedly recall the fear they felt when first encountering the Star God.

Because the first Star God discovered by the Dead Spirits was likewise colossal as Xisi, and used his unrivaled power to consume an entire star as food.

That first Star God discovered by the Dead Spirits later became the famed 'Night Owner', one of the four great Star Gods of the physical universe!

However, after the ancient war ended, the Dead Spirits took revenge on the Star God that deceived them, causing the Star Gods to fragment into countless pieces.

The overwhelming majority were captured by the Dead Spirits, used as fuel and core components for their Super Technology.

A small portion were seized by other galactic forces, such as the 'Void Dragon', one of the four Star Gods imprisoned underground on Mars by the Emperor.

There are also a few that escaped all pursuers, hiding in the dark corners at the galaxy's edge.

One could even say that without the Dead Spirits' revenge back then, the Star Gods could have continued to exist.

Thus, the current universe not only has the four Subspace Evil Gods, but the physical universe also possesses four Star Gods.

Moreover, Subspace Evil Gods represent emotional concepts, while Star Gods represent physical concepts.

For example, the Night Owner's dominion is 'death, destruction, harvest'.

The Void Dragon's dominion is 'void, machinery, technology'.

One could even say that the Mechanical Church's mechanistic worship originates, to some extent, from the Void Dragon.

Now, as Xisi turns his Law of Heaven and Earth toward them.

The Dead Spirits feel that the Star God, once as nightmarish as they were, now at this moment, in a human form, looks back at them.

And then...

Xisi displayed his power!

The towering Law of Heaven and Earth raised its hand toward the Song of Forgetting and the surrounding mass of Undead warships.

An endless terrifying giant hand, bathed in surging golden light, stretched out, gently extending its index finger toward them.

Then the surging golden light fell silent simultaneously over Aolake, Luojia and others, as well as the subsequent Seven Gods.

Sweep away!

Xisi is easy to dodge, but the countless Undead warships are not!

The towering divine power surged, engulfing the Undead warship docked ahead; in an instant, under the Silent King's wide-open stare behind it, it was like erased graffiti, washed by a glowing golden band, disappearing completely without a trace.

Only after all the frontal warships had been washed away did the Divine Light wash over the Song of Forgetting, a shield unlike the Void Shield igniting, finally blocking Xisi's strike.

The radiance was dazzling and blinding.

Until the last strand of Divine Light faded, the void fell silent again.

Everyone watching the effect of Xisi's raised hand strike was left with a deathly silence.

The entire ring of Undead warships that once surrounded the Song of Forgetting was now, at this moment, half-washed away by Xisi.

Directly in the direction facing Xisi, it became an open void.

The Undead warships cleansed by the divine power left not even a fragment of wreckage.

The remaining warships, under the Silent King's command, fled wildly toward the rear of the Song of Forgetting.

This scene left the Silent King and Aolake utterly stunned.

A faint wailing from the core of the Song of Forgetting echoed softly; alongside this peculiar lament, the Song of Forgetting generated a shield capable of withstanding Xisi's full-force strike.

The Silent King first glanced at Aolake beside him, seeing that he was also completely silent, unsure how to deal with the Xisi who suddenly appeared before him.

The Silent King abandoned seeking aid from the secret cult at this moment; he watched Xisi raise his hand again, preparing to point at the Alert Star beneath his feet, using divine power to cleanse the entire Alert Star.

To help Wusikel and others convert more black stone arrays.

Seeing this, after a brief moment of silence, the Silent King suddenly issued a command to the high-ranking Dead Spirit engineers below.

"Activate the self-destruction program of all black stone arrays of the Alert Star."

When the Silent King finished speaking, the entire Dadian fell silent instantly.

All Dead Spirit engineers, even the Dead Spirit Overlord, suddenly raised their heads, their Prosthetic Eyes flashing.

Although the Dead Spirits are merely dormant, once fully awakened they can gradually forge these black stone constructs again.

Even at their peak, such black stone is an extremely precious resource for the Dead Spirits.

It is impossible to simply discard it.

Moreover, this would mean self-destructing an entire planet's black stone!

One must understand that the Alert Star is not a mere auxiliary node, nor a peripheral extension array.

It controls a star-sector-level black stone core.

If it self-destructs, it would mean that the spoils the Dead Spirits have taken from the Human Empire for so long would be expelled by more than half!

The hard-won Empire's Holy Frontier, with the Alert Star regaining its defensive capability, will retreat entirely once again.

「Should we think of some other ways? 」

A Dead Spirit Overlord simply couldn't help but speak up, yet hearing his own subordinates, they were actually reluctant.

The Silent King, however, looked at the giant golden-light Xisi, without the slightest hesitation, directly bypassed his own subordinates, and personally activated the self-destruct protocol.

Soon, accompanied by the rumbling that rose and fell across the surface of the Alert Star, the Dead Spirits on the Song of Oblivion chose to stay silent.

And then, just when everyone thought they had completely cut off Xisi's continued conversion of more black stone arrays, locking away his power.

As more and more black stone arrays lost their effect, Xisi in the distant void unexpectedly grew increasingly massive!

The Silent King was not surprised, and the Dead Spirits also came to their senses.

They watched the black stone beneath their feet continually losing effect, and the Subspace gradually returning to normal.

The Alert Star now has no power left to suppress Subspace, only a towering black stone peak that wildly amplifies Subspace!

The Silent King's face turned extremely grim.

Although he knows that doing this will lead to this result.

But if he doesn't do this, Xisi, this time bomb, will only become more terrifying!
