Chapter 68: Don't Ask; If You Ask, It's Divine Emperor's Blessing

~7 min read 1,371 words

Xisi's voice finally attracted the attention of those around him.

The Mechanical Church Priests didn't recognize Xisi, their faces showing only confusion, while Fanluosi barely came to his senses, his face a little surprised.

Subconsciously he raised his hand to refuse, but wanting to leave this place as quickly as possible, Xisi already took the Green Skin Crown, gritted his teeth and placed it on his head.

It's not that the Green Skin Crown is harmless to Xisi, but that Xisi doesn't believe Huangpizi and Terrifying Old Two would dare watch him die!

Of course, now there might also be a Color Devil.

So before Fanluosi could even speak, Xisi had already put the crown on his head.

The raging Power of Thought suddenly surged through the crown into his brain; even with Hundredfold Amplification, Xisi instantly felt his brain nearly burst.

At the same time, two pairs of Subspace eyes glanced over instantly, followed by another two pairs, and then a hesitant third pair of eyes.

Yet before those three pairs of eyes could act, a force that Xisi himself was about to forget surged forth after Hundredfold Amplification.

And this force somehow barely neutralized the crown's backlash.

Although the Alert Star Battle had ended, the Green Skin on Alert Star rode a junk ship and spread Xisi's name to the surrounding star systems.

At this moment, the My Thought accumulated over days and months actually acted.

The throbbing pain atop Xisi's head quickly faded, and the crown's light no longer scattered but gradually contracted back.

Though still far from the stable normal when worn on a Green Skin, when Xisi reopened his eyes, the surrounding crowd was jaw‑dropping, all exaggeratedly staring at him.

Because no matter what, the crown was actually on Xisi's head!

Even in places unnoticed by others, Xisi could feel that after those three pairs of eyes, there were another two pairs' after‑glances, casting faint interest...

While Xisi internally snarked at those "guys" for giving him no privacy, Fanluosi stared with eyes that couldn't quite close, blankly leaning over:

"It actually... happened?"

"It's not just the Green Skin..."

Xisi raised his hand to stop him, after all the roaring outside the laboratory was rapidly closing in on the lab.

"Don't ask, if you ask it's Divine Emperor's Blessing!"

Fanluosi was blocked outright.

If any other human dared bring an Alien Form crown and tell him about Divine Emperor's Blessing, he would raise his hand and atomize the other.

But the problem is that the one saying this now is Xisi, the Xisi who the Emperor, fearing being forced by the Empire to the opposite side, specially sent a Galaxy-wide Notice.

Others call this blasphemy, but Xisi says it, it's damn stating the facts!

Yet Fanluosi forced a smile back, but inside couldn't stop wild thoughts:

"Divine Emperor's Blessing, wearing the Green Skin Crown..."

"Could it be that this Divine Emperor is green?"

Without Xisi's snark, Fanluosi still snarked; when he thought of this, even without any eyes watching, his heart suddenly thumped.

With a huge after‑fear he reined in the wild thought, and hurried to refocus on what was ahead.

"What do we do now?"

As the organizer of this team, Fanluosi subconsciously asked Xisi.

And Xisi strained to recall the itinerary of this Verolia trip, while walking outward with the Green Skin Crown, he spoke:

"Your experiment has already failed; while there's still a chance, immediately organize the fleet to withdraw."

As Xisi stepped out the gate, facing the Insect Tide Will and Stagnant Insect Swarm suddenly suppressed from outside, he turned back to Fanluosi and added:

"Of course, the premise is to first repel the Green Skin and Terran forces that have latched onto us."

Fanluosi subconsciously nodded, but looking at the crown flashing green light atop Xisi's head, felt a bit resentful inside.

Who said the experiment failed? You just put the crown on!

Fanluosi didn't have the nerve to say that in front of Xisi; he only nodded while preparing the Command Center to launch a counterattack.

Only after turning his head did Fanluosi notice that the once thunderous battlefield, aside from the fleet overhead still being bombarded by Green Skin and the newly arrived Terran, had its ground combat completely halted.

The scene was bizarre; the Terran swarm all froze in place, as if signal was bad, intermittently stagnant then wailing, unable to move for a long time.

Meanwhile, the Green Skin on the other side stared dumbfounded at this human shrimp on the mountain top; unlike the previous simple fear of being unable to beat them, now the Green Skin kids not only timidly watched Xisi, but even in the eyes of these fight‑only Green Skin a rare respect emerged.

Seeing these Green Skin looking at Xisi with a hint of respect, Fanluosi's eyes widened.

After all, these Green Skin not only showed respect, and that respect was damn toward a human!

If Xisi didn't have a human appearance and the Divine Emperor's backing, Fanluosi might even think Xisi was some highly disguised Green Skin!

After all, looking at the scene, if Xisi suddenly leapt high and let out a Waaagh, Fanluosi would suspect many of those Green Skin below would take Xisi as their leader!

Thinking that, Fanluosi even immediately followed with a strange thought: doesn't that mean if someday Xisi fully tames this crown, Xisi could lead the Green Skin in a Waaagh?

Fanluosi's complexion froze, his eyes even more strange.

After all, just imagining a massive all‑covering Waaagh with countless fanatical Green Skin led at the front by a human, Fanluosi didn't know whether this meant the Divine Emperor turned green on Gaomao, or Gaomao turned green on the Divine Emperor...

Yet Fanluosi's imagined future hasn't arrived, and Xisi's current Power of Thought can only barely guarantee he can keep the crown on.

After a brief shock that stunned the whole scene, as the Terran Fleet arrived, the strengthened Insect Tide Will finally began to reclaim control of the swarm.

Below, the timid Green Skin kids watching Xisi were pushed aside by countless towering bodies; the higher‑rank Green Skin bosses not only refused to accept it, but looked even more enraged at this human daring to wear the Green Skin Crown.

Even behind the Green Skin boss, there was an even taller combat leader, half the size of an Ancient Giant Junk, piloting a Gaomao King Kong in a rage toward Xisi.

Seeing the Gaomao King Kong, the human defenders were almost instantly overwhelmed.

Facing the Gaomao King Kong, equivalent to an Empire knight's Mech, this was no longer a fight the flesh could join.

Around them, countless Astarte and Battle Nun grabbed Explosive Guns, crazily spraying grenades, while Black Watch immediately fell back, focusing their handheld heat rays on the Gaomao King Kong's vulnerable spots.

Yet as the Gaomao King Kong, piloted by a war leader capable of commanding an entire planet, received the opponent greatly amplified by Xisi's Power of Thought, it simply charged forward under fire.

Fanluosi, seeing this, tried to pull Xisi away, but having just turned his head, he saw Xisi, after hesitating, draw the Terror Torture Red Sword.

Accompanied by a pair of Subspace eyes that instantly rejoiced at the scene, and Xisi's Red Sword beginning to emit a faint red glow, under Fanluosi's wordless "Is this appropriate?" stare, Xisi actually charged at the Gaomao King Kong.

It wasn't a particularly complex battle; Xisi and the war leader were more like a simple arm‑wrestling match.

It was only that, as Xisi's Red Sword unexpectedly even pierced Gaomao King Kong's armor, Terror represented a great victory over the Gaomao representative; what had been merely the red light from the Red Sword suddenly also received a great joyous Blessing from someone who had defeated a mortal rival.

Yet confronting the growing intensity of the red light on Xisi, even the surrounding onlookers who knew nothing could sense that the red light was indeed somewhat unfaithful.

The crowd stared in bewilderment at Fanluosi, and Fanluosi's mouth twitched a few times, held back for a long while, then suddenly, with a completely indifferent, carefree tone, spoke:

"Don't ask; if you ask, it's the Throne's Blessing."
