Blue Star.
Ever since the angels joined them, the Super Soldier Squad's warriors had finally gotten a rare chance to catch their breath.
Although the angels carried themselves arrogantly and even refused to communicate with the Super God Academy, every one of them was indeed a killing weapon with tremendous combat power.
Meanwhile, the Demon Legion's offensive gradually slowed, and it even deliberately withdrew from the Super Soldier Squad's war zone.
It was as though they had been frightened by what the Light Screen had said before, becoming overly cautious.
Until one day.
"An incoming Nuclear Fusion-level Strike has been detected. Please take note!" "An incoming Nuclear Fusion-level Strike has been detected. Please take note!" "An incoming Nuclear Fusion-level Strike has been detected. Please take note!"
The Taotie Legion had actually used Star Destroyer-level Weapons in ground combat!
By the time Ge Xiaolun and the others detected the attack, it was already too late!
There were seven Star Destroyer-level energy blasts in total.
The Super Soldier Squad and the angels paid an incomparably tragic price just to intercept five of them.
The remaining two struck Blue Star with precision!
Juxia City was utterly destroyed!
Du Kao died on the spot!
The Super Soldier Squad was scattered across the world.
Ge Xiaolun lost contact.
Liu Chuang led Qi Lin and the other Super Soldier Squad warriors in resistance.
Du Qiangwei attempted to restore the communications system and gather the scattered troops from various regions.
"This is the consequence of having no Planetary-level Defense Capability."
Sunlight Empress Di Leina's voice was somewhat heavy. "In other words, this was an unfair war from the start."
"Think carefully. What did your Blue Star rely on to contend against the Taotie Legion and the Demon Civilization? It relied on me! On Xiaolun, and on those few angels!"
The atmosphere throughout the command room was incomparably heavy.
"Sister Leina, then what do you think... what should we do?"
"How would I know? If I knew, I'd have gone and done it already."
"Maybe we can try contacting the Immortal Qin Empire Civilization."
"Little sister Qi Lin, you're overthinking it! Why would they care about us? Just because we have some connection with them?"
"But..."
"Even if they were willing to help us, you need to understand that distant water cannot put out a nearby fire."
No one spoke again.
The atmosphere became gloomy and tense once more.
This was a war between civilizations.
And in this war.
They were the weaker side.
Just then.
High in the distant sky, the Light Screen shone brilliantly once again!
Ding—Civilian Technology ranking complete Executing the second ranking "You guys, look! The Ranking List moved again!" "A new round of rankings has begun!" Selecting ranking content Selection complete The content of this ranking is Contribution Ranking! Description: This ranking measures contribution. Civilizations will be ranked by their contributions on a cosmic scale.
Blue Star.
Liu Chuang scratched his head. "Sister Leina, could you explain to us brothers what this Contribution Ranking... actually means?"
They had not understood the first ranking, Civilian Technology, either. Di Leina had been the one to explain it to them.
But this time, even Leina furrowed her brow.
"Don't look at me... I don't know either!"
"Huh? Even Big Sister Leina doesn't know?"
"I'm not Doraemon!"
Di Leina complained while frowning in thought.
What exactly did this Contribution Ranking mean??
However.
At this moment, what the Super Soldier Squad's warriors did not know was—
It was not only Sunlight Empress Di Leina who could not understand the contents of this Ranking List.
Every civilization in the universe.
Not a single one understood it!
Everyone was completely dumbfounded!
"What does this Contribution Ranking mean?"
"I don't get it... What contribution could a civilization possibly make to the entire universe?"
That was true enough.
A civilization.
Only after developing to a level close to that of an advanced civilization would it have the ability to exert even a slight influence over a planet.
Like the attack the Taotie Legion had used against Blue Star.
If all seven attacks had landed, Blue Star would have fallen silent, becoming a planet on the verge of shattering. No lifeform would have survived on its surface.
If a civilization had only developed as far as nuclear energy.
Then its capabilities would merely allow it to destroy a planet's surface.
On the scale of the entire universe.
What a civilization could accomplish was practically negligible!
As for so-called contributions.
There was even less to speak of!
Thus, after the Ranking List announced its new category once more.
Every civilization was filled with confusion!
Yi Ren Civilization: The Angel Civilization will definitely rank first this time!
Yi Ren Civilization: Don't you all understand yet? It's a Contribution Ranking! Only those who have contributed to the entire universe can be ranked!
Yi Ren Civilization: Then the Angel Civilization, which established the Justice Order, is surely the undisputed number one!
That single statement caused a stir!
"Yeah! Although that sounds a little like bootlicking, it's still one way to think about it!"
"The Angel Civilization established the Justice Order. On the scale of the entire universe, that really does count as some contribution."
"Damn it! If the Angel Civilization really takes first place, I'll be the first to flip the table! Why should they?"
Some agreed with the Yi Ren Civilization's view, while others continued speculating about what this so-called contribution truly was.
Of course, a certain god aboard Demon One.
Was already close to breaking down.
At this moment.
Meru Heavenly Court.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Come in."
He Xi entered Holy Keisha's bedchamber.
At a glance, she saw the holy queen dressed in silk, looking entirely different from her usual appearance.
Having removed her armor, Holy Keisha was almost no different from a Blue Star woman, aside from the pair of wings growing from her back.
Her waist was merely slimmer, her legs rounder and more slender, and her features more exquisite and beautiful.
At that moment, Holy Keisha was holding a book and reading it intently.
"The Taotie Legion violated the treaty and used Star Destroyer-level Weapons on a planetary surface."
He Xi sighed. "What should we do now?"
Before she could finish speaking, Holy Keisha pointed into the air.
A Light Screen suddenly appeared before He Xi and Keisha.
"Carl, you've got some nerve."
Holy Keisha was dressed in angel armor, gazing at Carl with an amused expression.
"You actually dared to openly defy the treaty, Carl... I'm not dead yet."
"My apologies, Lady Keisha, but the use of Star Destroyer-level Weapons was not my order. It was the result of the Giant Wolf Civilization acting on its own."
"I had already ordered the Taotie Legion to leave the Solar System."
Who was she trying to fool?
He Xi rolled her eyes beautifully.
That excuse could not even fool a three-year-old child.
"I had intended to punish the Taotie Legion, but if Queen Keisha insists on delivering divine punishment, I would be more than happy to see it happen."
After saying that, Carl's figure gradually vanished.
"Oh? Carl could actually sever the communication channel I forcibly established..."
He Xi froze for a moment. "How is that possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. Carl has been researching the Void; perhaps this is one of his results as well."
"He Xi, guard Meru Heavenly Court well."
Holy Keisha rose to her feet, her white wings fluttering behind her.
"I'd like to see what kind of scheme Carl is plotting."
