Fire at Me

The meeting room constructed by the Four Great Civilizations through virtual technology.

Thousands of beings argued in a chaotic clamor, while the dozen or so leaders and beings with real authority silently watched from above.

They were thinking as well.

A moment later, a tremendous sound came from above the meeting room.

The meeting room instantly fell silent.

The Octopus Leader spoke first. "According to verification, the technology provided by that Mysterious Fleet is real. It can sustain our civilizations for thousands of years."

"At most, in twenty thousand years, the resources of our worlds will be completely exhausted. Even if the war produces a victor, the sole winner will only have a one-in-a-thousand chance of ascending." The Plant Life spoke slowly.

Their words made the audience below even quieter as they silently stared at the dozen or so true upper echelons of the Four Great Civilizations onstage.

Meatball swayed its tentacles. "According to our calculations, although this Mysterious Fleet only has five ships, their combat power and the technology contained within their warships are beyond imagination.

"At the very least, they can severely damage us and accelerate the decline of our civilizations."

Finally, the Metal Crawler spoke grimly. "As long as we form an alliance, survive, and acquire some powerful technologies, if we experience several technological explosions, we may yet obtain freedom.

"This incident has shown us that beyond our worlds, the outside world is undoubtedly far broader.

"As long as we endure, anything is possible. It may even be possible to surpass the civilization represented by this Mysterious Fleet.

"Isn't that how our Four Great Civilizations came this far in the first place?"

Everyone immediately exchanged looks, then voted one after another in agreement to become a Production World of the Mysterious Civilization.

From beginning to end, they had never considered any other factors. In their eyes, those five warships alone could indirectly wipe out the Four Great Civilizations.

It would merely take a little longer.

Besides, destroying them offered this Mysterious Fleet no benefit whatsoever. Higher civilizations had no use for the possessions of low-level civilizations.

Going through so much trouble merely to destroy them simply was not worth it.

"Then it's settled. We agree to their request." The four leaders made the decision.

Aboard the Radiant Moon Battleship, Qingyang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, received the message.

He immediately opened his eyes and ordered, "Reply to them. Choose a planet to sign the agreement. All upper echelons of the Four Great Civilizations must attend to welcome us."

Welcome the truth.

At this moment, Guxing and the others also understood.

Guxue asked curiously, "What if they hide in an underground fortress on the planet to sign it and refuse to come out?"

"Then I'll personally leave the warship and sign it on the surface. They'll definitely appear then."

Qingyang revealed a brilliant smile. "When the time comes, don't hold back. Just blast them with the ship cannons."

!!!!

Guxing and Guxue's eyes immediately lit up. What a great idea!

Bellia and several newly arrived crew members stared at Qingyang in confusion.

Qingyang smiled without explaining.

The day of the signing soon arrived.

The agreement would be signed on a military planet, surrounded by Ring Star Railguns, while the ground was packed with Interstellar Missile Silos.

In the region more than a million kilometers from the planet, thousands of warships from the Four Civilizations had assembled.

After all, eighty percent of the Four Great Civilizations' upper echelons were present. Security could not be lax in the slightest.

The Shining Moon Type warship appeared in the planet's orbit, startling all the beings of the Four Civilizations present.

Entering the jointly guarded zone of the Four Civilizations' armies at will—was this the terror of a higher civilization?!

Noticing the massive entrance to the underground fortress on the planet's surface, Qingyang frowned.

"Just as expected."

He then stood atop a magnificent Flying Disc, with Guxing and ten dazzling Dark Mantis Mechs behind him.

After learning that Qingyang's abilities could protect others as well, Guxing had volunteered to follow him.

Watching the magnificent Flying Disc descend, along with those ten mechs that clearly exceeded the limits of their understanding.

The several upper echelons assigned to welcome Qingyang became even more respectful. As for what they truly thought, only they themselves knew.

The upper echelons focused their gazes on Qingyang, whose bearing was imposing. They could tell that he was the leader.

"Honored sir, please enter."

Qingyang glanced at the crude fortress entrance and deliberately furrowed his brow.

"No need. We'll sign in the open. The sooner, the better."

His tone was filled with dissatisfaction and impatience toward the environment here.

It seemed that he truly held no other ill intent.

Rather than mind Qingyang's disdainful tone and arrogance, the upper echelons actually felt relieved.

Especially since he had personally come down, and both men appeared extraordinary in temperament.

The Four Civilizations' upper echelons were completely reassured, and a simple venue was quickly arranged.

Thousands of upper echelons from the Four Civilizations then appeared. When the dozen or so true power holders stood before Qingyang.

Qingyang's smile widened.

At the same time, four cruisers each arrived at one of the civilizations' core planets.

With everything ready, Qingyang smiled.

The upper echelons of the Four Civilizations around him sensed Qingyang's delighted aura and could not help showing joy as well.

For a time, the Signing Venue was filled with harmony and cheer.

"Fire at me!" Qingyang suddenly dropped his smile and gave the order coldly.

In an instant, the Radiant Moon Battleship's main cannon completed its charge.

A terrifying beam, like a meteor, blasted toward the signing venue on the surface!

At the same time, a circle of Dark Gold Light Screen emerged around Qingyang, Guxing, and the ten mechs.

Even the Flying Disc behind them was covered by the light screen.

The upper echelons of the Four Civilizations were all stunned, blankly staring at the increasingly brilliant sky.

Rumble!

Violent shockwaves and energy waves surged outward, covering a radius of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Half the planet's surface cracked apart layer by layer, scorching lava erupted, and countless dormant volcanoes erupted back to life at once.

The surface of this planet, over ten thousand kilometers in diameter, had completely turned into hell!

Of course, for the planet itself, this was merely a surface wound, not a serious blow.

Within the dense smoke and dust, the Flying Disc surrounded by the Dark Gold Light Screen rapidly ascended and rushed into the Radiant Moon Ship through its open hatch.

The entire warship then swiftly entered stealth mode and fled into the distance.

From start to finish, the whole operation took barely more than ten seconds.

Only then did the commanders in the distant fleet recover from their disbelief. Seeing the already vanished Radiant Moon Ship, they flew into a rage.

Then a flood of messages arrived, leaving them completely collapsed where they stood.

The core planets of all four civilizations, along with the important planets surrounding them, had without exception been attacked by warships that had suddenly appeared!

The attacks had covered the entire surfaces of the planets!

Those were the core planets where research centers and elite classes were concentrated!

Ignoring what happened afterward, Qingyang immediately chose to leave this Dimensional World.

[Leaving]

[Departure complete. Entering settlement mode]

[World Impact: Enough to stop children crying]

[Main Universe Assimilation Degree: 100%]

[Main Universe Reward--20,000 Star Points, Mental Threshold raised to T8 (Perfect), Purple Star Crystal ×1]

[Alliance Rule Reward--20,000 Star Points, Shadow Blade Type 3 Special Mech ×10 (Tier 5, pilotable), Military High-Grade Cruiser ×1]

[This Dimensional World is merging into the Main Universe. Default merger confirmed. Merger region--Alliance Territory]

The Star Network announcement startled Qingyang.

More than eight hundred light-years merging into Alliance Territory? Wouldn't that have an impact?

Bellia, who had participated in several Dimensional Worlds, explained, "Even if a large Dimensional World merges in, the Alliance will make arrangements within a day.

"As for the native beings inside, if they have no guarantor, they will be judged as hostile otherworldly creatures and all be exterminated."

Qingyang understood.

Thud!

Suddenly, Qingyang's mental strength began to surge wildly, and a Purple Crystal Pearl condensed before his eyes.

A reward from the Great Universe!

Suppressing the discomfort from his rapidly rising mental strength, Qingyang grabbed the Purple Crystal Pearl before him.
