All Troops Submit!
The red glow from the charging of 100,000 Plasma Star-Destroying Cannon illuminated this vacuum region, making it resemble a blood-red inferno.
More than 90,000 Viltrum warriors are locked in a stalemate at the edge of the atmosphere.
Advancing was met with ten thousand beams of light that instantly vaporized them; retreating was met with the vast universe and the utter collapse of the imperial faith.
Jiang Li, now in his Upgrade form, has his consciousness connected to the main brain of 100,000 warships.
He didn't urge them on, nor did he utter a single unnecessary word. The countdown timer for the main guns silently ticked on the external displays of all the warships.
5.
4.
3.
"Cease the charge!"
Just as the countdown was about to reach zero.
The leader of the Viltrum Legion, his voice hoarse, issued the order.
He loosened his clenched fists and gave up resisting.
The soldiers behind him looked at him with humiliation in their eyes, but even more so with a sense of relief.
The legion commander slowly turned around, looking into the deep space, towards the place where Regent Thragg had just died in battle.
The Viltrum Empire was a purely social Darwin civilization.
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is the only rule ingrained in their genes.
Thragg was defeated. Defeated by the pure strength he was so proud of.
According to Viltrum's Law, Thragg is weak, and the weak deserve to die. And the one who defeats him will become the new supreme power.
"He blew the regent apart with his fists and took control of the fleet with his wisdom."
The legion commander's voice reverberated into the ears of every soldier, as if he were persuading his subordinates, and also as if he were persuading himself.
"The Viltrumites only submit to the absolute strongest. If they die here, the empire will perish. To survive and follow a stronger master is the way of life for the Viltrum."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The legion commander removed the high-frequency Glaive from his waist and casually tossed it into space.
He faced the massive fleet, and the man hidden behind the data network.
In space, it slowly knelt on one knee, lowering its proud head.
This one action became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The proud interstellar thugs' psychological defenses have completely collapsed.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Thousands upon thousands of weapons were abandoned.
In outer space.
Ninety-nine thousand pure-blooded Viltrum warriors, each possessing the strength to destroy a planet individually, knelt in the vacuum in perfect unison!
The scene was extremely impressive.
There was no sound, yet it was louder than a thousand thunderclaps. The most brutal interstellar legion in the Omniverse was utterly crushed by Jiang Li alone at this moment.
"Very good."
Over the warship's loudspeaker, Jiang Li's cold, mechanical voice finally softened somewhat.
"Congratulations, you've made the best decision of your life."
Laugh--!
In front of the flagship's main control room hatch, green circuit patterns rapidly converged and separated.
Jiang Li deactivated his [Upgrade] form and reverted to his human appearance, dressed in black.
He patted the hem of his trench coat and stepped into Viltrum's flagship.
In the corridor.
The two rows of fully armed Imperial Guards trembled instinctively when they saw Jiang Li approaching. Then, the crisp sound of weapons clashing against armor rang out, and all the guards knelt down in unison, burying their heads deeply in their chests.
Jiang Li stepped onto the metal floor and walked unimpeded into the central throne room at the deepest part of the flagship.
A colossal throne, crafted from high-dimensional alloy and inlaid with countless trophies, stood in the very center of the hall.
This is Thragg's throne, symbolizing supreme power to rule over hundreds of thousands of star systems.
Jiang Li walked up the steps.
He turned around and sat down very casually.
He rested his chin on his hand, looking down at the kneeling officials and generals of Viltrum in the hall.
The very second Jiang Li sat on the throne.
It was as if a star had been detonated on his retina!
The golden system notification boxes were flooding the screen at a waterfall-like speed, almost blinding him.
[Ding! Detected 100,000 advanced extraterrestrial life forms exhibiting extreme awe and fear!]
[Emotion Points +10,000,000!]
[Emotion Points +50,000,000!]
[Ding! Detected an extreme sense of awe and shock at the near-death experience of seven billion people on Earth!]
[Emotion Points +1,000,000,000!]
The annexation of the entire Viltrum Empire, coupled with the shock of billions of people on Earth, caused his Emotion Points to surge exponentially after this large-scale, high-quality psychological harvesting!
Ten seconds later.
The numbers stopped.
[Current available Emotion Points: 350 billion!]
"Three hundred and fifty billion..."
They've struck it rich.
With a mere 10 billion, he could use the Holy Sword to cleave through the Source Wall of DC. Now, holding a staggering 350 billion in his hands, he's even confident enough to dismantle and rebuild the entire Omniverse!
It has soldiers, money, and cheat codes.
Jiang Li leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.
He completely farmed through the starting quests of this merged map (The Boys + Invincible). Homelander is useless, Viltrum has been nerfed.
Get up.
Jiang Li looked down at the legion commander kneeling below.
The legion commander stood up tremblingly, not daring to raise his head. "Great... Ruler, please give your orders."
Jiang Li tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne.
"Leave a few warships to clean up Earth's mess. Tell that mortal named Butcher that Earth is now under his jurisdiction. If he doesn't manage it well, I'll come back and slaughter him too."
"Yes, sir. And the army..."
"A large army?"
A glint of light flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.
"Issue the order to the entire army."
Jiang Li stood up, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind before the throne.
"Set the coordinates for inter-universe jumps: Marvel, Earth- Earth-616!"
"I'll take you to a bigger territory!"
