Shock! The Sovereign of the Sea of Stars!
Lin Hai floated in the air, his gaze calmly fixed on the boundless snow-capped mountains below.
He slowly raised his right hand and clenched it in the air, facing the majestic mountain range below.
There was no dazzling light, no surging energy.
But to everyone watching the live stream, it was all due to that incomprehensible force.
The Everwinter Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of miles below, along with the ancient ice and snow it carried, seemed to have been wiped away by an invisible cosmic hand!
Silently and without a trace, it transformed into the most basic particles and vanished completely!
Where there was no mountain range, only a huge, flat, mirror-like depression remained, as if the mountain range had never existed!
Absolute Nihility!
Absolute silence!
The live stream froze on this horrifying scene.
Lin Hai withdrew his hand, turned around, and looked at the hatchway. Topaz and Aventurine, who were trembling and seemingly out of their wits, spoke through the cold wind, carrying the live broadcast signal and reaching every corner of the starry sea:
"This is my power."
"This is the border of Belobog."
Those who cross the line will be annihilated, body and soul.
What remains of the starry sea is boundless silence and a storm of fear that sweeps everything away.
Topaz and Aventurine slumped at the hatch, staring blankly at the mountains that had vanished into thin air.
They knew that from this moment on, the rules of the Star Sea had been completely rewritten.
The live broadcast signal was not interrupted by the disappearance of the mountain range.
The scene shifts, Sparkle's vibrant face fills the screen.
She was at a high point overlooking the Everwinter Mountain Range, with the silhouette of the Lin Hai suspended in the air in the background.
"See that! See that!" Sparkle exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly at the camera. "This is the Lin Hai of Belobog! With a wave of the hand, thousands of miles of mountains vanish! Not even a speck of dust remains! What is this? This is art! The art of destruction!"
She was like a most enthusiastic commentator, her tone exaggerated yet highly infectious.
"Everyone at Interastral Peace Corporation! Friends from Xianzhou! Handsome men and beautiful women from Penacony! And those lurking in the shadows watching! Have you all seen clearly?"
"This isn't special effects! This is a live broadcast! It's a genuine erasure! Understand? An erasure at the rule level!"
However, her explanation had only just begun when an even greater shock was about to unfold!
In the scene, Lin Hai, standing in mid-air, seems to feel that the demonstration just now was not enough.
He slowly raised his right hand, this time not towards the planet beneath his feet, but towards the depths of the starry sky!
His gaze pierced through the atmosphere, locking onto a faintly glowing star in the distant cosmos, almost invisible to the naked eye.
That's not a planet, but a middle-aged star in a stable burning phase!
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, Lin Hai once again made a grasping motion towards that distant star.
No sound can travel through a vacuum.
However, at the edges of all the live stream footage, the astronomical observation module automatically captured and magnified the images.
The light from that distant star suddenly began to distort in an extremely eerie way!
Its surface photosphere layer seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and suddenly collapsed inward!
Immediately afterwards, unimaginable energy erupted from within, but instead of the dazzling spread of a supernova explosion, it was forcibly restrained and compressed by an even more terrifying force, and ultimately...
Annihilation!
Within seconds, the star that had illuminated an entire region of the sky disappeared completely in the live broadcast, like a blown-out candle!
The starry sky where it was located was now just a deep, absolute darkness from which even light could not escape!
A star was crushed by bare hands!
"My God... last time it was a planet, this time it's a massive star!"
Even the Sparkle went silent in surprise.
The excitement on his face turned into utter shock and a hint of bewilderment. "This... I didn't get the script beforehand!!"
She truly didn't know how Lin Hai had managed to do it.
At this moment, the entire star sea fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by an indescribable panic and horror!
Headquarters of Interastral Peace Corporation.
The highest strategic room was in complete disarray.
One of the directors slumped in his chair, his face ashen.
Someone spilled their coffee without even realizing it.
Some people even vomited.
Crushing a star?!
This is no longer a force on the level of war; this is godlike power!
Direct display.
No fakery.
That's so impactful!
More impactful than crushing a planet!
All thoughts of resistance vanished in that instant.
Despair.
Like the frigid depths of the universe.
It devoured everyone.
Penacony, Dream Hotel.
All the arguing came to an abrupt end.
Whether advocating for a hardline stance or a compromise, the Family representatives were all frozen in place, staring blankly at the screen.
A tremendous fear gripped everyone.
Faced with such power, all calculations and weighing of options become meaningless.
Belobog Synchronous Orbit, Astral Express.
The data tablet in Himeko's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the screen shattered.
She was completely unaware, only muttering to herself:
"This is impossible... This violates the law of conservation of energy... No, it transcends the laws of physics as we know them..."
March 7th opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time, pointing at the screen, stammering:
"The stars... the shining stars were... extinguished by him? Himeko, am I... am I seeing things?!"
Antimatter Legion, Denizens of Abundance, and other forces.
The eyes that were secretly watching were filled with extreme greed and... a deeper sense of dread.
The forces of destruction and creation, displayed in such a direct way, stimulate their most primal desires and fears.
The live stream finally froze on the moment Lin Hai calmly stopped.
He slowly turned around and stepped into the air.
As if walking on an invisible staircase, they returned to the entrance of the hovering aircraft cabin and stood before the disoriented Topaz and Aventurine.
Topaz and Aventurine were ashen-faced, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, almost collapsing.
Looking at the Lin Hai so close at hand, they felt as if they were looking at a walking cosmic catastrophe, and even breathing became difficult.
Lin Hai's gaze swept over them, his voice calm yet carrying the absolute authority of someone who sets rules. Reaching their ears, it seemed to proclaim to the entire Star Sea:
"See clearly? Then remember, from this moment on, I will set the rules for this sea of stars."
Topaz and Aventurine's lips trembled as they tried to say something, but found their throats were choked, and they couldn't make a sound.
They could only nod with difficulty and a very small gesture to indicate their submission.
Any objection appears both laughable and fatal in the face of that cataclysmic scene.
Lin Hai stopped looking at them, turned and walked to the driver's seat, his tone relaxed, as if he had only crushed a cookie:
"Alright, the show's over. Let's go back to the banquet. Don't keep the guests waiting."
The aircraft changed direction and flew back to Qlipoth Fort.
When Lin Hai reappeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, the hall was deathly silent.
All the guests, including Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, and others, looked at him with a mixture of extreme awe, shock, and a hint of unfamiliarity.
They've already seen the live stream through their internal network.
Lin Hai, however, acted as if nothing had happened. A gentle smile returned to his face, and he clapped his hands, the sound echoing throughout the hall:
"Just a little entertainment, please excuse the poor performance... The banquet continues! Keep the music going, and there's plenty of alcohol! Today is a great day for our alliance, so let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest!"
His words seemed to possess a magical power, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
The conductor paused for a few seconds before hurriedly signaling the musicians to resume playing the cheerful music.
The waiters, trembling, continued to serve fine wines and delicacies.
The guests suppressed their inner turmoil, forced smiles, and raised their glasses again.
But beneath that smile lay an undisguised awe and bewilderment.
The banquet seemed to have returned to its lively state, but everyone's thoughts had already drifted to the vanished mountains and stars.
From this moment on, Belobog's future and the landscape of Stargazing were completely changed.
Topaz and Aventurine, like two lost and dejected puppets, were placed in a corner.
The delicacies and fine wines before me tasted like chewing wax, while the laughter and chatter around me seemed to come from another world.
Their minds were blank, leaving only that Nihility starry sky.
They knew that the company... no, the entire Starsea, had welcomed a true, irresistible ruler.
