Earth.
The flames of war still burned fiercely.
Humanity, the angels, and the Super Academy had formed an alliance.
They fought against the alien invaders led by Carl.
After winning the North Star Meat Grinder Battlefield, Huaxia's upper ranks had planned to construct the Black Great Wall within the Solar System.
However, before Ge Xiaolun and the others could catch their breath and begin building the Black Great Wall,
an even stronger enemy appeared.
It was Hua Ye, the Lord of Tiangong, whom Keisha, Hexi, Liang Bing, and the others had once driven away.
Hua Ye's father, Hua Que, had been the first-generation Angel King of the old angel civilization.
Later, Hua Ye killed his father and seized the throne, monopolized resources, and established the Tiangong Order of indulgence and pleasure.
Unable to bear the oppression, the angels revolted under the leadership of the three Angel Kings: Keisha, Hexi, and Liang Bing.
After the Battle of the Raging Sea, Keisha overthrew Hua Ye's rule, destroyed the Tiangong Order, established Merlo Heavenly Court, and promoted the Order of Justice throughout the universe.
Holy Keisha, who had gone to Earth, was plotted against by Carl, severely wounded, and fell into a long slumber.
Yan, formerly the Sacred Left Wing Guard, became the new Heavenly Blade King of angel civilization.
Without Keisha's suppression, Hua Ye, supported by Carl, rapidly assembled an army primarily composed of triangle entities, the Taotie, and Male Angels, then invaded Angel City.
When Heavenly Base King Hexi fought Hua Ye, she was severely wounded by a black hole and also fell into slumber.
New Queen Yan was no match for Hua Ye. Merlo Heavenly Court fell, and the surviving angels retreated to Fei Leizhe.
After devastating angel civilization, Hua Ye led his army into the Solar System.
He intended to sweep away Earth's resistance with overwhelming force.
Xiong Bing Lian gathered all its strength and met them in the void.
A brutal battle erupted between the two sides, and the slaughter was exceptionally savage.
Ge Xiaolun clashed with Hua Ye in a duel between kings.
As the Galaxy Force, he had fused the void and anti-void, developing the main system Qiankun, as well as the Ambition Program specifically for combat.
Among the many mainstream civilizations, Ge Xiaolun's combat power ranked at T1.
However, Hua Ye had received Carl's full support and been equipped with the latest version of the Black Hole Engine.
Combined with his terrifying combat experience,
Ge Xiaolun quickly fell into a disadvantage. The great sword in his hand was cleaved apart, while Hua Ye suppressed Qiankun's main system and forcibly shut it down.
In the end, Hua Ye sent him flying into an asteroid.
"Die, you pathetic ant."
Just as Hua Ye prepared to pierce Ge Xiaolun with his sword, time stopped.
Atoms ceased moving.
Light hung motionless in the air.
Spattered blood formed an arc across the battlefield.
Fired bullets hung in the void, while flames bursting from muzzles froze in place.
The vast battlefield seemed to have had its pause button pressed.
Only Ge Xiaolun could move freely.
Looking at the blade only centimeters from him, he felt the relief of having survived a disaster.
"What happened?"
Ge Xiaolun climbed to his feet and looked around.
Suddenly, he sensed something and sharply turned his head.
Then his eyes widened.
Two towering golden figures shrouded in light entered his vision.
They stood in the void like gods.
Ge Xiaolun found one of the figures deeply familiar.
Only, he was taller, and possessed a sacred aura and an overwhelming pressure.
"Boss!"
He called out tentatively, filled with unease and apprehension.
"Xiaolun." The sacred and majestic golden figure spoke, with a trace of gratification in his voice. "You've even grown stubble. Looks like you've matured quite a bit."
"It really is you, Boss."
Once he confirmed the newcomer's identity, Ge Xiaolun revealed an excited expression.
He flapped his wings and flew toward the Emperor.
Waldo, standing nearby, was about to raise his war halberd and stop Ge Xiaolun from approaching.
Then he heard the Emperor's mental command ordering him to stop.
Ge Xiaolun folded his wings and landed before the Emperor, so emotional that his voice trembled with tears.
"Boss, you really aren't dead. That's wonderful."
"After you were sent to Emerald Star, you never returned. Everyone thought you had died."
"Boss, how did you get so big?"
After fully activating the Galaxy Force, Ge Xiaolun had become far more powerfully built, reaching a height of two meters.
Yet before the Emperor, he looked like a child.
The Emperor said, "I wasn't dead. I was merely occupied with other matters."
Ge Xiaolun cast off the strong facade he had worn when facing Hua Ye, the Lord of Tiangong, and cried out in grievance.
"Boss, while you were gone, all those civilizations bullied us."
"So many people died on the North Star battlefield. Every day, it took trucks just to haul away all the bodies. Even Xiong Bing Lian lost so many people."
Ge Xiaolun was only in his early twenties, yet in the name of the Galaxy Force, he had shouldered the responsibility of protecting Earth.
In truth, he was lost too, unsure of what path the future held.
But before the civilians and companions who needed hope, he had to become strong.
He had to tell them with a resolute voice that they could win.
But before the Emperor, he became Ge Xiaolun of the Super Academy's Three Cheap Musketeers once more.
Ge Xiaolun pointed at Hua Ye, who was frozen in the void.
"That guy breached Merlo Heavenly Court, defeated the angels, and now he's come to fight us too. He called humanity cockroaches."
"He also said he would turn Earth into a slave farm, offer up women for his pleasure, and make the men slaves of Tiangong."
"He's terrifying. He shattered my great sword, shut down my Qiankun, and I can't beat him."
The Emperor wore a kindly expression and placed a hand on Ge Xiaolun's shoulder.
"Don't worry. He'll soon learn who the real cockroach is."
"Stand aside for now. Leave the rest to me."
Time began to flow again, and all that had been frozen returned to its former course.
Hua Ye's sword thrust struck empty air, and an astonished expression appeared on his face.
According to his calculations, Ge Xiaolun should have had no chance of avoiding that strike.
He looked around and discovered Ge Xiaolun standing beside a massive golden figure.
"The Galaxy Force certainly has some tricks. You actually escaped my sword. But next time, you won't be so lucky."
Ge Xiaolun raised his middle finger at Hua Ye. He was no longer as composed as before, but rather somewhat arrogant.
"Talk to my boss, idiot."
Hua Ye looked at the massive golden figure, his brow tightly furrowed.
Clearly, this fellow who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield was the main reason Ge Xiaolun had become so arrogant.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're that human Carl fears."
The Emperor said nothing and merely looked at him calmly.
Hua Ye immediately felt anger rise within him.
At times, silence was the greatest form of contempt.
"Are you mute? Never mind. You can just die."
Hua Ye raised a hand, activating the Black Hole Engine.
A pitch-black, lightless black hole appeared in his palm.
Then he hurled the black hole at the Emperor.
The flying black hole continuously devoured surrounding matter and rapidly expanded.
"Die."
With this move, Hua Ye had severely wounded Heavenly Base King Hexi and forced King of Demons Morgana to retreat.
He was very confident that he could use this move to eliminate his opponent completely.
The black hole expanded violently.
Everything around it rapidly collapsed and was sucked inside.
Its immense gravity warped everything, even light itself.
Across the battlefield, everyone looked at that terrifying black hole in horror.
No one dared remain near it.
Once sucked inside, most of the Gene Engine's abilities would fail.
No one could escape. They would be forcibly erased by the black hole.
A trace of concern also appeared on Ge Xiaolun's face.
If the black hole continued expanding, it would devour the entire star system and destroy everything.
"Quite interesting."
The Emperor looked at the expanding black hole and offered a word of praise.
Hua Ye immediately felt like he was about to explode. Not only was his opponent unafraid of his strongest move, he had even complimented it!!
How could he look down on me this much?!
"A black hole!" Raven on the Emperor's shoulder cried out in an exaggerated tone. "I wonder if we can grow potatoes and tomatoes in it."
"We'll soon find out whether we can," said the Emperor.
Black holes were indeed terrifying.
But the Emperor himself possessed the status of a universe-level evil god.
He had also received a share of the universe's origin from Raven, along with knowledge from other universes.
The power he now wielded was beyond imagination.
He extended both hands, and golden flames spread outward.
With a gentle clench, the spacetime before him collapsed.
The entire region of spacetime collapsed from three dimensions into two.
The black hole Hua Ye had released lay within the collapsed region.
Before everyone's eyes, the expanding black hole became a painting.
Then the painting was torn apart and scattered through the void.
When spacetime reformed and returned to three dimensions,
the black hole's structure had been destroyed, and it directly shattered.
The matter it had devoured also scattered through the void.
Hua Ye's eyes widened as he watched this scene.
A hundred thousand damnations instantly galloped through his mind.
The black hole had been torn apart!!
Did science still exist?
The Emperor had acquired knowledge of dimensional ascension and dimensional reduction in the Three-Body Universe,
