Lu Xiao stood on the high bridge of the "Blade of the Empire" and adjusted the magnetic lock on his combat boots, so that the soles of the boots were locked into the deck's fixed slots.

He reached out and placed his hand on the alloy armrest of the control panel. His five fingers pressed down, leaving a noticeable dent in the metal surface.

The power armor's sensors connect external data to the neural bundle, and the feedback is very stable.

"Commander, the enemy is changing their formation," the staff officer said, pointing to the screen.

Lu Xiao stared at the flashing signal dots, the red light in the eyepiece jumping steadily.

"Lei Zhan, is the insurance in place?" Lu Xiao asked in the channel.

"All three gates have been breached, and the manual safety mechanisms are engaged!" Lei Zhan shouted from the weapons area. "The destruction program is ready to run at any time."

"Very good, let them see clearly how the Empire fights a war," Lu Xiao ordered.

"These idiots are still calculating the probability of survival, what a waste of computing power," Lei Zhan muttered.

Lu Xiao issued the order: "Order all ships to activate the Stellar Storm Algorithm. Raise the temperature in this star system."

The "Blade of the Empire" ship vibrated, and the energy was transmitted along the deck to Lu Xiao's feet.

The heavy armor plates on both sides slid open, and the golden lens stretched into the void.

The magnetic field locked in the radiation energy of a distant star.

The staff officer rapidly input instructions at the control panel.

"Coordinates aligned, gravity well locked!" the officer shouted. "Algorithm overclocked by 300%, lens array has changed color!"

"Commander, the energy is overflowing!" the adjutant warned.

"Keep the output going, don't shut it off," Lu Xiao replied.

The void under high temperature causes visual deflection, and starlight is displaced.

The plasma in the outer layer of the star deviated from its orbit and was forcibly pulled into the battlefield by the gravitational tether.

The scorching rays traversed the void, striking the defensive positions of the intelligent civilization.

"First strike, Cyclone torpedoes, salvo!"

Lu Xiao raised her right hand and clenched her fingers.

"put!"

A long black jet shot out from the belly of the "Blade of the Empire"—it was a whirlwind torpedo.

The torpedo pierced through plasma rays and struck the leading industrial planet.

The earth's crust was instantly pierced, and no sound waves returned.

The atmosphere was stripped away by intense light, and the nitrogen-oxygen mixture was released into the vacuum.

The rocky crust was shattered by the shockwave, and rocks flew in all directions.

"Follow up with the virus bomb," Lu Xiao added.

"Understood, the magazine is empty!" the weapons officer replied.

A virus bomb was launched and exploded in mid-air on the planet.

Dark green gas rapidly spread, covering the entire planet.

The factories on the planet's surface began to disintegrate.

Dark red patches appear on the metal surface, indicating that the virus is degrading the metal lattice.

The bionic body of the intelligent organism turned into liquid under corrosion.

Lei Zhan looked at the monitor screen and snorted coldly.

"This stuff is a strong acid to silicon-based life forms; they can't even send out a distress signal."

"This is called purification," Lu Xiao replied.

"The cores of those scrap metal must be burnt to a crisp," Lei Zhan added.

The "Blade of the Empire" accelerated again, the red light from its engine illuminating the asteroid belt.

The destroyer raised its shields, protecting the flagship in the center.

Any approaching spaceship will be destroyed by the crossfire net.

The macro cannon and the light spear created a blank area in the vacuum.

A cruiser squadron launched an attack from the flank.

Their engines spew blue ionic sparks, and they move at extremely high speeds.

Lu Xiao glanced at the data chart.

"Port guns, three-round burst. Angle adjustment 3.5, target the engine compartment."

The command was executed, and three beams of light pierced through the void.

The cruiser at the very front was pierced, its metal hull curling outwards.

The internal reactor exploded, and the entire ship turned into a white light.

The remaining spaceships crashed into the wreckage, tumbling and breaking apart.

"Keep going, don't stop," Lu Xiao gave the order.

"Main gun cooldown will take another thirty seconds!"

"Sweep them with close-in weapon systems, don't let them get close," Lu Xiao continued to command.

The imperial fleet sailed through the sea of ​​fire.

Planets along the way disappeared under the onslaught of stellar storms and viruses.

The metal fortress turned into floating dust.

A communications officer looked up.

"Commander, the enemy has sent a peace signal across all channels."

Lu Xiao turned her head to the side: "Read it."

"They are willing to hand over the underlying technology, permanently disable their armed forces, and become slaves of the empire."

The correspondent pointed to the fluctuating frequency band.

Lu Xiao let out a cold laugh.

"slave?"

"The Empire has no need for thinking machines. Their existence is a desecration of the genes."

Lu Xiao walked to the terminal and cut off the receiving channel.

"I'll turn off all that noise from those begging for mercy right now," Lei Zhan replied.

"Listening to these lines of code begging for mercy is really an earache," Lei Zhan added.

Lei Zhan stood at the entrance of the hangar, the chainsaw sword still spinning.

He cleaved through a group of mechanical soldiers who tried to board the ship.

Lei Zhan looked at the sparking severed limb and spat.

"These scrap metal people have forgotten how they used humans as batteries two thousand years ago."

He stomped on and crushed a rotating electronic eye.

The red light in the camera flashed twice and then went out completely.

"Is it clean?" Lu Xiao asked in the channel.

"The last one was just crushed, Commander Zhan," Lei Zhan replied.

At the center of the galaxy, the last defensive force of the intelligent nuclear civilization was cornered.

Countless suicide drones emerged from the planetary rings, obscuring the starlight.

They crashed into the "Blade of the Empire".

The frigate's shields issued an alarm.

Lu Xiao stood firmly on the command platform.

"Don't panic. Lei Zhan, activate the close-in defense cellular array."

Lu Xiao pressed the black button.

Tens of thousands of firing ports rose from beneath the "Blade of the Empire" armor.

The interference projectiles are launched and create a strong electromagnetic field in the air.

The drone entered the magnetic field, and its logic core burned out.

They fell into the void, and the subsequent groups of machines began to kill each other.

Fireballs continued to appear in the darkness.

Lu Xiao turned around to face the galaxy that was about to go out.

The defenses have collapsed.

The stellar storm continues to scorch, causing gravitational imbalance in the stellar region.

A spherical mothership attempts to open a wormhole to escape.

"Lock onto that sphere." Lu Xiao walked toward the main gun controller.

"Send it on its way."

Lu Xiao pressed the launch button.

A beam of white light, hundreds of meters in diameter, erupted and shattered the entrance to the wormhole.

The spherical mothership disintegrated in the intense light, its fragments swept into a stellar storm and instantly vaporized.

The logical network is completely severed.

All the mechanical spaceships stopped moving and floated away as scrap metal.

Lei Zhan picked up the chainsaw sword and shook off the oil.

"Finished? That's it?"

He straightened his red cloak.

"Report battle losses."

"Three frigates were lost, and the flagship's armor was damaged by 0.8 percent," the adjutant reported.

A sigh of relief filled the command room.

Lu Xiao headed towards the exit.

"Compile the roster and send it to Terra. Tell them that the purification here is complete."

Lu Xiao's boots made a clattering sound on the deck.

Lei Zhan followed from behind.

"Commander, where to next? Those two fleshy civilizations must be terrified."

Lu Xiao stopped in her tracks.

"Go to the nearest supply depot and replenish your virus bombs."

"More? Those two civilizations haven't reached that point yet, have they?" Lei Zhan asked doubtfully.

Lu Xiao patted his shoulder armor.

"Proceed according to my planned route."
