Chapter 79 [The End of Divine Authority]

The location is one light-year outside the Lynch star system.

Inside Andrei Matthews's command ship, dozens of generals from the Holy Tiles Empire sat together, awaiting Marshal Andrei Matthews's orders.

Marshal Andrei Matthews sat in the main seat, his eyes closed in deep thought, as if waiting for some news.

"Report."

A young man dressed in the uniform of a Holy Tiles Empire officer walked in from outside the command room.

"Reporting to the Marshal, the Second Joint Fleet of the Star Empire rejected our application and ordered our warships to leave their Lynch Starfield immediately, or else war will break out."

The young officer loudly reported the latest developments.

Marshal Andrei Matthews raised his hand, and the young officer immediately placed his right hand on his chest, lowered his head, and turned to leave the command room.

"What do you mean, their Lynch Starfield? That belongs to our Tiles Empire, that damned bandit Star Empire."

"Marshal, let's fight!"

The generals' faces were ashen, their eyes filled with rage.

The Star Empire is shameless.

That was the territory of their Holy Tiles Empire, but that damned bandit, the Star Empire, claimed it as theirs.

"Cooper, what's the situation in the Lynch star system? Have you detected their military defenses and defensive lines?"

Marshal Andrei Matthews opened his eyes, his gaze falling on General Cooper beside him, his voice filled with immense authority.

He is no longer the Marshal Andrei he was thousands of years ago.

He is much more composed now than before.

"Marshal, we are unable to detect the troop strength in the Lynch Starfield, nor can we detect the military defenses within the Lynch Starfield."

General Cooper said bitterly.

The Star Empire was too vigilant, leaving them no loopholes to exploit.

"Marshal, what are you afraid of? The Star Empire's combined fleet only has a little over 12,000 warships, while we have a full 50,000 warships here. Even if they send two more combined fleets, I believe that under your excellent command, that Bai Qi will fall."

"A general said impatiently."

Fifty thousand warships can't defeat the Star Empire's twelve thousand or so warships?

“Show signs of retreat, send them a message saying it's a misunderstanding, and wait.”

To this, Marshal Andrei Matthews simply uttered a single, cold word.

Without the empire's order to wage war, even with its massive army pressing in, they dare not fight.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that starting a war without authorization would likely arouse the Empress's suspicion.

……

Second Combined Fleet.

"General Bai, the fleet of the Holy Tiles Empire is preparing to retreat."

"André Matthews sent a message saying it was a misunderstanding."

Upon seeing the Holy Tiles Empire's fleet preparing to retreat on the radar system, the technician quickly turned to look at Marshal Bai Qi behind him.

"Mr. Bai, they've backed out?"

Elena looked at the screen on the radar system with a deep frown, somewhat skeptical.

Misunderstand?

I misunderstood you, you old man, I misunderstood.

If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you being so indecisive?

Did we go too far?

Bai Qi merely chuckled coldly and said, "All officers and soldiers of the fleet, immediately enter combat readiness."

"Order the Sixth Combined Fleet to conceal themselves along Line 3 on the C3 star boundary."

"promise."

Upon hearing Marshal Bai Qi's words, the shipboard technicians quickly relayed the two messages.

"Fleet group, press down to a position 0.5 light-years outside the Lynch star system boundary."

"Deploy planet-destroying weapons, deploy antimatter weapons."

"Deploy electromagnetic rapid-fire rail defense weapons."

"promise."

One order after another was conveyed.

The Star Empire's Second Joint Fleet warships swiftly began executing their commander's orders, deploying various weapon systems.

It gives off an impression that I'm about to start a fight, and you'd better not mess with me.

A wormhole has been opened.

The warships surged into the space wormhole in an orderly fashion, heading towards their pre-set locations.

……

Five days later.

For the next five days, the warships of both sides were locked in a stalemate, with neither side showing any intention of making a move, but small-scale skirmishes continued.

Imperial Academy of Engineering.

"Your Majesty, we have detected unusual activity in the Emerald Star in the Emerald Starfield. It is likely about to evolve into a supernova. Our Imperial Academy of Engineering wishes to travel to the Emerald Starfield to obtain detailed parameters of the stellar explosion."

Academician Yang Xin looked at His Majesty the Emperor before her, pointed to a star they were monitoring, and said.

This is a star that their Imperial Academy of Engineering finally found, which is about to die naturally and is of great research value.

Therefore, she proposed to collect data on the evolution of stars into supernovae and their eventual explosion, to provide the Imperial Academy of Engineering with data on annihilation black holes as a reference.

"Go to the Emerald Starfield? Are you sure you can survive the explosion of the Emerald Star?"

Yang Yu looked at Academician Yang Xin strangely. "Are you kidding me?"

The Empire currently lacks both the capability and technology to survive a star explosion.

“We can collect data remotely without needing to get too close to the Emerald Starfield.”

Academician Yang Xin explained, "After all, it's extremely important for our research."

In this regard.

Only two words came to Yang Yu's mind: madman.

This is no longer the dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering; he's a complete and utter mad scientist.

He was too obsessed with research.

"No, I disagree." Yang Yu directly rejected her proposal. The Star Empire would not participate in the closing of the Divine Council, but it would also not allow anyone to interfere with the end of the Divine Era.

The age of theocracy has reached its twilight.

It's time to die.

"for……"

Just as Academician Yang Xin was about to ask a question, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Dean, there's an update. After observation, the Emerald Star, which originally had a lifespan of 100,000 years, has suddenly accelerated its burning and is rapidly heading towards death."

"what's the situation?"

Upon hearing the academician's words about the Emerald Star, Academician Yang Xin completely ignored the emperor and walked to the holographic projection to look at the stellar data on it.

"No, this is an artificial acceleration of the star's burning life force."

Soon, Academician Yang Xin discovered that the abnormal reaction of the Emerald Star was due to human intervention.

"How much longer does the Emerald Star have to live?"

"Dean, it should take another thirty minutes."

The academician looked up at his dean, his expression somewhat grim. They had searched for hundreds of years to find a star that was aging naturally, only to have it artificially controlled.

"It's too late."

Academician Yang Xin looked extremely unwell; they couldn't get there in time.

The Emerald Starfield is more than 70 billion light-years away from their Star Empire. It would take at least one or two months just to make a space jump to get there.

"The era of theocracy is coming to an end, and the era of mortals is coming."

Yang Yu stepped out of the laboratory, his voice ringing out softly.

Chapter 80 [Keisha's Fall]

Emerald Galaxy.

"Karl, you know, your supernova might not be able to kill me!"

Even in the face of the current situation, Holy Keisha showed no fear whatsoever, but instead looked at the emerald star in front of her with great interest.

"Queen Keisha, there are still thirty seconds left. You can actually escape."

Karl held the holy Keisha before him in high esteem.

She, a mere woman, has upheld a justice that no one else could maintain for over ten thousand years.

This kind of perseverance is something that others can only dream of.

"Escape? Why would you escape?"

Holy Keisha smiled upon hearing this.
