A Quasar Flare possessed energy thousands of times greater than that of an entire galaxy. Naturally formed in the universe, it was an immense radiance produced when a gigantic black hole ground matter away.
In other words, it was equivalent to several thousand times the energy contained within a stellar-level powerhouse.
But several thousand times a stellar-level powerhouse's internal energy did not mean it could necessarily annihilate a stellar-level powerhouse. On the contrary, because it was released without control and consisted only of intense, massive energy radiation, stellar-level powerhouses could withstand, resist, and defend against it.
Therefore, even releasing a Quasar Flare did not necessarily mean it could kill a stellar-level powerhouse.
The many stellar-level powerhouses had no objections after hearing He-El's words. Instead, they felt relieved.
This was equivalent to a punishment—a punishment for joining this war against New Krypton.
The stellar-level powerhouses were somewhat relieved. After all, they were stellar-level powerhouses. If the Emperor of New Krypton had accepted their surrender without a word or any special demands, they would have muttered to themselves whether he planned to send them to the universe's most dangerous regions as suicide troops after accepting their surrender.
Now that they had to endure some punishment, it instead felt reasonable and acceptable to them.
As for whether they could withstand the Quasar Flare—if they could not, there was no need to surrender. They could simply die.
Using a Quasar Flare to test the strength of those surrendering was reasonable. The stellar-level powerhouses had no objections.
Only by enduring the Quasar Flare could they be considered truly surrendered to the Emperor of New Krypton.
And if they did not want to endure it... who would still dare to run?
