...
The moment the communication disconnected, Augustus slammed his fist onto the console.
"Orleans?! He didn't even bother to remember my name!"
Augustus's face turned livid. He held a high position, and no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this.
Moreover, Ye Chuan's careless attitude, acting as if he didn't even exist, fueled his rage even further.
"The Chairman is just too weak!" Augustus said through gritted teeth.
"What cooperation? What win-win? To deal with this arrogant, backwater upstart, we should crush him with absolute power!"
"No matter how chaotic his power system is, is it really impossible to eliminate him?"
He paced back and forth in the command room, his eyes ruthless.
The Chairman's orders echoed in his ears, but he had no intention of obeying them.
If he really cooperated with Ye Chuan, then Kalen and the Divine Punishment Squad would have died for nothing, and his, Augustus's, reputation would be completely trampled underfoot.
Kalen's death didn't matter much, but the Divine Punishment Squad was promoted by him personally, and his, Auguste's, reputation was even more important.
"No, I absolutely cannot let him arrive at the Apocalypse Star Region alive."
Augustus stopped pacing and violently pressed the red emergency button on the desk.
"Connect me to the communication of Rex, the Commander-in-Chief of the Starfall Fleet, immediately!"
"Received! Connecting..."
A few seconds later, a man with a resolute face appeared on the screen.
"Minister Augustus, what are your orders?"
"Rex, as the Minister of the Investigation Department of the Supreme Academy of Sciences, I order you to immediately mobilize the entire Starfall Fleet. Head to Public Warp Channel B73 and intercept a private star shuttle with the serial number K-071113."
"Minister Augustus, there doesn't seem to be any dispatch missions recently," Rex found it strange.
"It's an emergency mission!"
Augustus's voice was bone-chillingly cold. "The target on the star shuttle, Ye Chuan, has been confirmed through investigation to be an Outer God disguised as a human. He is extremely dangerous and is heading toward our star region."
"You are authorized to use any means necessary. You may deploy all equipment at your disposal to eliminate him on the spot!"
"An Outer God?" Rex froze for a moment, and his expression instantly grew incredibly solemn.
"Understood! I will lead the fleet out immediately!"
"Remember, you must kill him at all costs!" Augustus said sternly.
"If you fail, the entire core star region will be plunged into crisis!"
"I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
The communication cut off, and Augustus walked to the window.
He frowned.
"Do you think you've won? The Starfall Fleet is the Federation's trump card, specifically designed to deal with Outer Gods. It has twelve black hole class dreadnoughts, three hundred frigates, and purification weapons tailored for Outer Gods."
"No matter how strong you are, it is impossible for you to fight an entire fleet."
"Even if you aren't an Outer God, you will still die here, you arrogant water bug, you inferior low-tier star region trash."
Soon, at the entrance of Public Warp Channel B73.
In the boundless dark universe, countless dazzling lights suddenly lit up.
Twelve black star destroyers, each ten thousand meters long, slowly sailed out of the warp channel. Their hulls were covered in heavy energy shields, and the antimatter main cannons at their bows flickered with a cold red light.
Three hundred frigates swarmed around the star destroyers like a hive of bees. Countless missile silos and laser cannon ports all opened, aiming deep into the channel.
The entire warp channel was instantly locked down. Any spaceship attempting to pass through would be blown to dust in an instant.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the entire Starfall Fleet has arrived at the designated position. The warp channel has been locked down. All weapon systems are fully charged and ready to fire at any time!"
Rex stood on the command platform, staring at the channel ahead.
"Excellent. Initiate a full-frequency scan. The moment a suspicious target is detected, open fire immediately!"
"Understood!"
...
On the other side, Ye Chuan's star shuttle was flying smoothly through the public warp channel.
The interior of the channel was a brilliant band of colorful light. Countless energy particles flowed rapidly around them, forming beautiful arcs.
Lin Xi leaned against the transparent dome, looking curiously at the scenery outside.
Although she felt like she was soon going to become cannon fodder, the view was undeniably quite good.
"Mr. Ye, do you think Augustus is going to be very angry?" Lin Xi mumbled.
"I saw his face turn red with anger just now. Will he ambush us?"
"Angry? Whatever." Ye Chuan leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.
He was comprehending the inheritance of the Jiuhua Empress. That warm golden current flowed slowly through his meridians, and his cultivation base was growing at a visible rate.
It seemed it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
"If he dares to come, it'll save me the trouble of hunting them down one by one," Ye Chuan said calmly.
"We'll have to fight sooner or later anyway; doing it now or later makes no difference."
Just then, the star shuttle suddenly shuddered violently.
Piercing alarms instantly rang throughout the cockpit.
[Warning! Warning! The warp channel ahead has been blocked! A massive number of enemy warship signals detected!]
[Warning! Enemy weapon lock-on detected! Ten seconds until attack!]
Kalen turned her head expressionlessly.
"Lord Demon King, the Federation's Starfall Fleet has been discovered ahead. They have locked onto us completely."
"Oh?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting the other party to act so quickly.
"It seems that Minister Orleans really refuses to give up."
So, they were just going to resort to violence since the talks failed?
Ye Chuan had met too many people and understood the nature of those in high positions thoroughly. That Orleans Chicken Wing obviously wasn't a good person.
"Ah? There really is a fleet!" Lin Xi's face turned pale. "Then should we run?"
"Run? Why should we run?" Ye Chuan stood up and walked to the porthole, looking at the dense black fleet in the distance.
"Perfect timing to stretch my muscles."
Before his words faded, a red laser shot out from the main cannon of a distant star destroyer, blasting toward the star shuttle with apocalyptic might!
This was the main cannon of a star destroyer, capable of easily destroying a planet.
Ye Chuan casually raised his right hand.
A black-gold chaotic barrier instantly expanded, enveloping the entire star shuttle.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the universe.
The red laser crashed fiercely against the chaotic barrier, bursting into blinding sparks.
However, that seemingly indestructible laser couldn't even stir a single ripple on the barrier, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
The star shuttle remained hovering smoothly in place, without even the slightest tremor.
Lin Xi slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the scene before her, she opened her mouth wide in astonishment.
"It... it was blocked just like that?"
At the same time, in the command room of the Starfall flagship.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the screen, their faces written with disbelief.
"How is that possible?!" a staff officer asked in confusion. "That was the main cannon of a star destroyer! It actually had no effect at all?!"
"The enemy's star shuttle model couldn't possibly have a barrier of this strength."
Rex's expression also became incredibly solemn.
He had originally thought that deploying the entire Starfall Fleet to deal with a single Outer God was already overkill.
But now it seemed they had vastly underestimated the target's strength.
It was highly likely that the enemy wielded the power of Laws.
"This Outer God is incredibly powerful, most likely level fifteen or above! All Star Destroyers, attention: fire a full volley!" Rex barked harshly.
"Use maximum firepower and blast him to smithereens!"
"Understood!"
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
