Even the Nova Corps warriors didn't need to get close; they could see with the naked eye the terrifying energy contained within this energy sphere.

But they were not afraid because of this.

Because the planet from which this energy sphere is about to land is their home planet.

The people below are their family and friends.

Therefore, all the Nova warships spontaneously formed the Nova Legion's unique energy protection battle formation without the need for a fleet commander's command.

Golden energy connected all the warships, forming a massive golden barrier of light, similar to the one the Guardians of the Galaxy Nova Fleet used to block Ronan's Dark Star, in an attempt to stop the empty energy sphere from descending.

However, all their efforts were in vain.

The Nova Legion's unique Nova Energy, capable of dominating a region in the universe, is naturally formidable.

Unfortunately, they encountered the most primal, powerful, and violent force in the universe.

The golden neon light barrier delayed the energy ball for less than a second before turning to ashes in the raging power gem energy.

This terrifying scene completely terrified the new starships that hadn't yet joined the fleet.

Some angry and desperate Nova Warriors, like their predecessors, rushed towards the energy ball without hesitation, like moths to a flame.

Some of the Nova Warriors, terrified, chose to flee in panic.

In space, the instigator, Josie, appeared to flicker under the glow of the energy sphere below, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

They didn't pursue the fleeing Nova warships, perhaps because they felt they posed no threat.

I simply stood quietly in space and watched everything unfold.

Behind him were energy shields containing Loki, a group of Vrykul warriors, and vampire assassins.

After witnessing Josie's devastating power, the Vrykul looked at her as if she were a god, worshipping her with utmost reverence.

And those vampire assassins are pretty much the same.

After witnessing the terrifying power of the energy ball, they could already imagine the terrible fate that awaited Xandar, but they didn't care.

After they become vampires, their original human emotions have largely faded.

Moreover, prior to tonight, at Josie's suggestion, they had already transferred important personnel and assets out of Xandar.

Therefore, at this time, the only people in Xandar they were related to were a few Hag tribesmen, and they wouldn't feel any pain if they died.

On the contrary, because of Josie's strong performance and his relationship with Dracula, they were quite eager to build a good relationship with this soon-to-be-famous powerhouse.

Loki, however, looked at Josie with eyes full of fear.

What kind of devilish collaboration is he in?

Loki once considered himself rather evil, and he had killed quite a few people.

However, Josie's act of destroying an entire planet so easily and without hesitation was something he had never imagined before. That was hundreds of billions of lives—Xandar was much larger than Earth and was the core of the entire Nova Empire, so it was not surprising that it had hundreds of billions of people.

But now, all of this will turn to ashes.

However fearful he may be, he cannot change the fact that Xandar is about to be destroyed, and he is the first accomplice in a catastrophe of extinction.

As the new fleet that had been blocking their path was destroyed, the enormous purple energy sphere slowly sank into the earth at what appeared to be an extremely slow pace.

The intersection of the two did not result in the extremely terrifying explosion that had been imagined.

However, the resulting scene was even more terrifying than an explosion.

Centered on the point where the energy sphere meets the earth, terrifying energy begins to spread continuously throughout the entire planet.

What followed was the cracking of the earth and the collapse of mountains and buildings.

All living beings that came into contact with this energy were completely reduced to ashes.

Ultimately, the entire planet was completely covered by violent purple energy, turning it into a deathly, lifeless planet.

In the vicinity of Xandar, apart from Josie and his group, as well as the fleeing ships, only the starport remains alive.

With a wave of his hand, Josie caused everyone to disappear into space and reappear on the starport.

At this point, Xandar Starport was in complete chaos.

Everywhere were wailing refugees trying to board the spaceship and escape this terrible place.

Although the terrifying destructive energy did not reach this place, Xandar, a planet with hundreds of billions of people and tens of millions of soldiers, was destroyed. Could that terrifying monster possibly let this place go?

But just like airports or ports on Earth, spaceships can't just leave whenever they want; under normal circumstances, they need to follow orders and arrive one by one.

Now that Xandar has been destroyed, the Nova Corps on Starport is no longer in the mood to maintain order, and those who are capable have already fled.

As a result of the loss of order, the starport was filled with ships that had crashed due to the chaos or due to armed conflicts over shipping lanes.

Only a very small number of spaceships manage to safely break through the encirclement and enter space.

Meanwhile, many people on the starport are without spaceships and are searching for usable ones in an attempt to seize them.

As a result, the streets and alleys were filled with all kinds of killings and fights.

But these people were right; Josie did indeed come here after destroying Xandar.

But before Josie could do anything, Loki rushed to him the moment Josie lifted the life-sustaining spell.

"Damn it, do you know what you've done? That's billions of people!" Loki shouted at Josie, seemingly out of nowhere.

However, as soon as he said it, Loki chickened out when he saw Josie's gloomy face in front of him.

"I'm sorry... I just..." Loki tensed up, somewhat at a loss for words, and began to apologize.

Good heavens, have I gone completely mad? How could I actually berate this demon?

Yes, at this point in Loki's mind, Josie was already synonymous with a demon who would destroy the world.

"I'll let it go this time, but remember to watch your manners when you speak!" To Loki's surprise, Josie didn't kill or punish him for it. She just gave him a light reprimand and then turned and left.

Loki immediately felt a sense of relief, as if he had escaped a disaster!

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally caught up with Josie, who was walking away.

Now that things have come to this point, even if he regrets cooperating with Josh, there's no turning back.

Who knows if the other side will do the same to Asgard?

Although Loki was quite confident in Odin's power, how could he gamble on something that concerned the survival of a civilization?

Hopefully, my choice won't bring any irreversible consequences to Asgard...

Josie, who was ahead, had no intention of paying attention, or rather, Loki's current state was one of the purposes of his trip.

With such a terrifying warning, even if this kid grows up and wants to go solo someday, he'll have to consider whether he can really handle such an energy ball.

Of course, Xandar was not something he necessarily wanted to destroy on this trip. It can only be said that Xandar was unlucky. Ryan Ogder had obviously reached an agreement with Xandar regarding the secret of the faster-than-light engine.

Josie absolutely could not allow such a super technology, capable of influencing the course of a civilization, to be leaked.

Therefore, without knowing how many people already knew about the existence of the faster-than-light engine, he had no choice but to take this horrific and drastic measure.

As for the stolen spaceship, it is currently docked in a warehouse in the starport. It had already been captured by the vampire legion that had been lying in wait during the previous operation, and it is now waiting for Josie to inspect it.

Chapter 288 Return to Earth

When Josie and her group arrived at the warehouse where the spaceship was located, a group of fools were trying to attack and seize the spaceship. However, the vampire army that had taken over the place beforehand was also very powerful, so they couldn't take it down.

Now that Josie had encountered them, she naturally didn't hold back. A group of Vrykul warriors rushed up and hacked away wildly, instantly taking care of these guys.

"How's the situation?" Josie asked the vampire leader on this side.

"Your Excellency, we have conducted a preliminary inspection of the spaceship you requested, and everything is in good condition!" the leading vampire said obsequiously.

Although he had been guarding this place with his men, he could still see the situation on Xandar in the distance from here, and dared not neglect this super strong person in the slightest.

“Very good, let’s leave now. The Nova Corps’ reinforcements should arrive soon!” Josie nodded.

Xandar is only the capital planet of the Nova Empire, not the entirety of it; the empire has over a thousand administrative planets of various types.

Now that Xandar has been attacked, the other administrative planets will certainly send reinforcements.

Although Josie wasn't afraid of a direct confrontation, it would obviously be troublesome, since planets are in fixed orbits and can't go very far, but spaceships aren't.

The group quickly boarded the ship and set off. Then, in the outer space not far from the starport, they boarded the ship that had taken off before the incident and left the star field together.

Of course, before leaving, Josie did not forget to deliver the final blow to the already chaotic and collapsing starport, just like those who fled the starport.

Several hours later, when the first batch of reinforcements from the nearest Nova Empire arrived, all they saw was Xandar, a planet radiating purple light, shrouded in endless, violent power, and utterly lifeless, along with its orbiting starports reduced to ruins and various other debris.

Seeing this despairing scene before them, the reinforcements who arrived later were filled with grief and also sensed that the situation of the Nova Empire and even the entire universe was about to change drastically.

And indeed, things have changed.

Just as the stability of a major power on Earth often determines the stability of the entire region it inhabits.

The existence of the Nova Empire is crucial to the stability of its star system.

However, the destruction of Xandar has completely shattered the balance of this region.

First, the remnants of the Nova Empire were embroiled in internal strife.

The original high-ranking officials of the Nova Empire were all on Xandar, where they were all slaughtered by Josie.

Under these circumstances, the remaining two thousand-plus administrative stars of the Nova Empire, as well as the remaining dozen or so main fleets stationed in various regions, all fell into a state of independent operation.
