Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

The aliens' combat strength is currently only one-twentieth of what it was before the war began.

[The Battle of Rongdu Begins, the Super President Sacrifices Himself, Presidential Power Transferred to the Minister of National Defense]

[Victory was finally achieved at 7 PM on May 30th]

[Victory in the Battle to Defend Super-Earth!]

………………

However, wasn't the final result a bit rushed?

Looking at the final ending, although it was a victory and a happy ending, it still felt a bit strange.

Moreover, this subtle, euphemistic style of writing... seems strangely familiar.

It often happens in certain shady victories...

Eh?

If you think about it carefully...

Holy crap, the players used underhanded tactics!

Because the methods used are somewhat underhanded, can't they be discussed openly?

As expected of the Fourth Calamity!

…………

The curtain of light hasn't fallen yet.

There's also a settlement screen.

This mainly reflects some complaints from players.

[“The Submarine Forces and the Light Clan suffered 8 billion casualties in 10 days, averaging 800 million deaths per day, 33.33 million deaths per hour, and over 550,000 deaths per minute.”]

"The Storm Loyalty Army, which loses 100 million every ten days...an average of 10 million per day."

[“This casualty would make even the Lion King weep, and Guilliman would shake his head. It’s at least an apocalyptic event.”]

what?

Are you comparing yourselves to the Storm Loyalists?

I don't know about other worlds, but the native Warhammer people do.

Especially the emperor himself.

He was also speechless.

That was a unit belonging to the Storm Division of the Astronomical Army, directly under the Supreme Command, and not under the jurisdiction of the regular Astronomical Army. It was an Imperial special forces unit, tasked with high-risk missions that the regular guards could not perform.

The training is a lifetime program with a hellish selection process and an extremely high attrition rate. Those who graduate from it are all top performers.

Moreover, its discipline is so strict as to be almost cold-blooded and almost incorruptible.

So what are their usual tasks?

Gravity parachute airborne raids, infiltration behind enemy lines, and decapitation strikes against high-value targets.

Attacking fortified fortresses, protecting key personnel, and special operations by the court.

In short, they are the ones who tackle the toughest challenges that the regular Astral Army can't handle.

The pinnacle of mortals, the special forces within the World Army, the cold-blooded blade of the Emperor.

How do they compare to the Storm Loyalists?

Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm not good enough, it's just that I feel it's a bit too low.

After all, it is the fourth calamity, an invincible existence that appeared in the previous heavens.

Compared to the Storm Loyal Army... that seems a bit low.

It should at least be Astartes, right?

But upon closer reflection...

So many Astartes sacrificed?

Forget it.

Even if you squeeze the empire dry, you still can't produce that many Astartes.

If he were to actually see this battle damage, he would jump off his golden throne on the spot.

And even with so many Astartes, he could laugh in his sleep.

Even if so many Storm Loyalists were sacrificed...

It's so damn heartbreaking.

"At the outset of the war, the enemy launched a black hole, annihilating several defensive planets along its path and all the inhabitants there."

[“The battlefield spans half the galaxy, stretching from Holy Terra—no, I mean Super Earth—to the Western Robot Zone. Black holes pave the way, and during the final battle, one billion people die on both sides every day.”]

"This is so apocalyptic!"

[“It can demoralize the Kriegs, make the Orks think there aren’t enough of them to die, and make the Terrans doubt their own numbers.”]

"After all, a few days' worth of fighting amounted to many years' worth of battles against Baal."

Green Skin: "...FNNDP!"

They wouldn't doubt it!

They want to join too!

The green-skinned man's eyes lit up on the spot.

That was a great fight! I want to go too!

[“Apocalyptic level, battlefield intensity comparable to the Siege of Terra + the Defense of Cadia + the Battle of Baal in the Warhammer universe”]

"The intensity of battle in the Jedi Swarm universe is no less than that of the Warhammer universe."

Emperor: No, it's not as hot here as it is over there.

Let the Fourth Scourge do what they want with this war.

He can't afford this loss.

"Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to say that humans started the trouble."

He was startled awake from his deathbed.

The last thing that flashed across the screen was astonishing, leaving everyone who saw it stunned.

what?

Did humans invade first, and then the other side fought back?

This planner... could he be Indian?

…………

This round of the celestial curtain is almost over.

Aside from the complaints about the intensity of the war, many people were quite excited.

There's no other reason than that the Fourth Calamity rebelled against fate and succeeded!

This has inspired countless people around the world.

In a world where many people have long been accustomed to "predestined fate" and "predictable plot," such a victory has already transcended the significance of a game or a battle.

It was more like a deafening shout, piercing through the shackles that countless people had long accepted.

So-called destiny is never something that cannot be overturned.

Let's review the whole process.

From the very beginning, the super city of Shanghai was destined to fail.

In the planned scheme, it is a pawn, a prelude, a sacrifice used to highlight the new stage, new plot, and new protagonist.

Like countless cities in history that were destined to fall.

Its fate seemed to have been sealed long before the war even began.

This is the choice of the Creator, the decision of fate.

All the struggles the players put on were nothing but futile performances in the eyes of the high and mighty "scriptwriters," merely meant to make the inevitable fall seem more tragic and more interesting.

"You players need to listen to us; this is the right way to play the game."

But ironically, this group, known as the Fourth Calamity, is the least convinced of "destiny."

They don't care about the official script at all, and they can't be bothered to even acknowledge it.

They responded with a cold laugh to the predetermined fate imposed on them by the authorities.

"Are you trying to teach me how to play games?"

Then, in the most barbaric way, they tore that predetermined destiny into pieces.

This is the most breathtaking part.

It's not about how exaggerated the combat power is, how apocalyptic the casualties are, or how devastating the weapons are... although randomly dropping black holes is indeed a bit scary.

But none of the above are the main points.

The real point is that they clearly saw through everything that was arranged for them, yet they still chose to resist.

People spend their lives following a predetermined path.

Where one is born, what power one possesses, which path one takes, and what fate awaits one—it all seems predetermined.

Some accept their fate, some compromise, and some tell themselves in despair, "This is fate," and then silently accept all the injustices and sacrifices, embarking on a predetermined tragedy.

“Fate is hard to defy,” “The tide has turned,” “Human strength has its limits”…

There are countless examples of this kind of talk.

From another perspective, when faced with an enemy like the Fourth Calamity, they would probably surrender the moment they learned the other party's identity, with only a few choosing to fight to the end.

Even if it's all in vain.
