I write obituaries for the gods

Then, just ten seconds later...

The main satellite platform located in Japan has been marked as "offline".

Next up is India.

"So fast?" Li Zhanyi was taken aback.

“The mysterious forces of the East have been exerting their power,” Jiang Zhengge smiled. “They’ve been watching for a long time, haven’t they? Tonight looks like it’s going to be a blitzkrieg.”

During the conversation, the launch pads in Iceland and Colombia also went offline.

At this point, all Black Star platforms, except for Rain City, were destroyed.

"That speed is terrifying," Lin Chen muttered.

He glanced at the big screen: the virus upload progress had reached 35% and was steadily climbing.

Just then, Li Zhanyi suddenly turned his head and looked towards the sea.

Even from a great distance, she seemed to meet the gaze of a pair of deep blue eyes!

"Activate low-depth mode!" Li Zhanyi shouted. "Five seconds! Triton has sensed us!"

Lin Chen immediately tapped his watch, and with a "hum," the depth inside the Deep Dive Armor suddenly dropped to 0.716731219.

At that moment, the five seconds that Li Zhanyi had predicted arrived.

Intense pressure came from all directions, squeezing Lin Chen's deep-sea armor and almost causing him to kneel down.

He felt a tightness in his lungs, and at the same time, a sonic boom echoed from the distant coastline—

Triton is here!

......

Chapter 65 Stars (6k)

The torrential rain, like needles, flew haphazardly at an angle, pounding against the giant glass screen.

The wind howled, and the dome shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Almost simultaneously, everyone was controlled by this intense pressure. Lin Chen was still able to stand, but Li Zhanyi was forced to kneel on the ground, almost unable to breathe due to the pressure.

"It's so...so painful..." Li Zhanyi said in pain.

But she knew that feeling unwell was already a good thing.

Without the protection of a low depth, everyone in Section 1 would have been blown to bits.

"..."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked out of the giant glass screen.

With a flash of thunder, a figure appeared suspended in the sky.

Triton walked down the stairs as if stepping on a staircase, landing on the ground in front of the giant glass screen.

Behind him, the rocket swayed slightly in the strong wind.

"Pfft!"

Triton extended a finger and touched the glass, instantly shattering the entire giant screen into fragments.

The wind and rain rushed in, making it even harder for the people, who were already under immense pressure, to get up.

"As expected, in the end, we still had to meet."

As Triton walked into the hall, his gaze first locked onto Jiang Zhengge on the center console.

He revealed a wicked smile, his deep blue eyes shining even more fiercely.

“You were fast and the timing was good,” he said. “The other launch sites were destroyed almost simultaneously... Poor Mentis, all the spacecraft materials they collected were wasted.”

"Unfortunately, your timing wasn't good enough."

"You expect that rocket behind you to launch?" Jiang Zhengge chuckled. "You can try. I bet it will be destroyed by our air power halfway through its flight."

He deliberately didn't mention uploading the virus—after all, the current goal was to launch the Black Star platform.

However, Triton laughed:

"Hehehehe, hahahahaha!"

The demigod spread his arms wide, his expression crazed.

"You always think you're in control of everything, but you know absolutely nothing!"

As Triton spoke, the screen in the command center suddenly changed, transforming into the vast expanse of deep space.

In deep space, a huge satellite hangs suspended, rotating around a near-Earth orbit.

That was a "main star".

It is also the "Sixth Black Star" that has no launch point on the map.

“Black Star has already taken off,” Triton smiled. “The Space Islands have always been just bait, used to lure the superpower America into the trap, to…”

"...to lure you into a trap."

Black Star...has it already been launched?

Lin Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

However, if Black Star were to launch, the radars of all the major powers should be able to detect it.

unless...

"The real Black Star platform has long since reached outer space via subspace, right under everyone's noses."

Triton calmly began to recount:

"Silver District, on the edge of Rain City, a wild and desolate land, a snowy land where even Jehovah would not cast his gaze."

"The base on the sixth main planet was already fully deployed there, thanks to that hotheaded kid with all that muscle; he managed to get a secret Soviet missile silo from the Russians..."

At this point, Lin Chen recalled the fragments he had seen in "Rambo's" memories:

“Mr. Triton, we’ve reached an agreement on the land you asked us to find... I’ve acquired the asset in the snow-capped mountains.”

Simply by finding an "asset," Rambo was promoted from an unknown Delta to a Gamma-class fighter qualified to take the lead.

That asset is a launch site!

Bathed in the silence of the crowd, Triton continued:

"Thanks to your internal contacts, we used 'Utopia' to pull that asset into subspace, and used the W weapon's resonance with the emotional deposits in near-Earth orbit to open a direct path to space..."

"Through that path, the sixth main star was able to deceive everyone, including the hawks, and successfully ascend into the sky."

Triton looked at Lin Chen, a smile playing on his lips:

"There is a traitor among you, a vicious viper..."

But what Lin Chen was thinking about at that moment was the night he captured Tom Connell.

As they were evacuating from that cargo ship, Lucy had casually remarked:

"The transit speed in the ideal country is getting slower and slower, and I almost missed it."

It was from that time that the ideal state was manipulated by traitors to begin constructing a base on the sixth main planet...

“You can’t defeat her, she is not understood by you, but her wisdom has always far surpassed yours.”

As he spoke, Triton snapped his fingers.

Almost simultaneously, the screen switched to the interior of the sixth main planet.

When Jiang Zhengge saw the situation inside the cabin, his pupils flickered slightly—

tide Lena was standing by the transparent circular porthole, looking down at the Earth.

She was wearing a white spacesuit, which was not as bulky as she had imagined. Modern technology allowed each astronaut to remain as agile as possible while working in space.

“tide Leina,” Jiang Zhengge murmured, “why?”

"Because from the very beginning, she was the true master of Project Black Star."

As Triton stared at the screen, his frantic expression softened somewhat.

"She is Katrina! I am but a clumsy imitation of her! Through the amplification of the main star platform, she can synchronize with those ancient emotional deposits, thereby ruling over the skies and seas of the entire planetary territory!"

"Only she can accurately calculate the landing point of the W weapon's space-based platform, not that so-called... hub AI."

Triton's expression twisted again.

"That hub AI, neither she nor I knew it existed if it hadn't been exposed by Facility No. 3."

"You don't know?" Jiang Zhengge frowned.

“I oversaw Blackstar before she took over, but even before she started assisting me... the Nexus AI was never on our agenda.”

Triton looked at the foundation's logo on the wall, his expression becoming increasingly distorted.

"The Hub AI... is the eldest brother's backup plan."

"He wants to use that thing to control the entire Starlink system, thereby controlling Xileina and turning her into a tool, a harmless and obedient main star."

"Why do you think I've kept you alive until now?" Triton turned to Lin Chen. "Because she believed you could use that girl to develop a virus that could kill the Nexus, and she believed you would step forward and participate..."

"So, we took the initiative to act in this play."

Triton's head tilted slightly:

“Yes…those demigods were either taken to the Silver District by her or sent to the battlefield to die by me. Mr. Z can’t command the dead, and the dead won’t hinder you…”

“I know that once I go to the battlefield, you will immediately launch a surprise attack... Do you really think I don’t know that Tom Connell is a dog of the American army? His name is written on their strongholds, and he should be dead long ago. The Tom Connell of today... is your comrade.”

"I tacitly approved of him passing the intelligence to you, so you could get here smoothly and upload the virus to the rocket..."

“I’m so jealous…” Triton then looked at Jiang Zhengge, “She trusts you, and you trust her…”

"Where did the trust between you come from? I don't understand... You treated her so cruelly, as if she had betrayed you... You were the one who threw her into the abyss!"

But Jiang Zhengge seemed unable to hear what Triton was saying.

He remembered the seaside viewing platform and tide Leina's light blue curly hair blowing in the sea breeze.

"I've come to say goodbye. I'm going to a very far place, and it may be a long time before I come back."

"I'm going to do something, and it might come at a price, but it will be worth it."

Do you believe me?

Believe.

Jiang Zhengge dared not say that he truly believed her at the time.

He understood that the Laplace's demon that Xilena spoke of was watching them, so he had to pretend he knew nothing and play along with her act.

But in that scene, Jiang Zhengge felt that tide Leina's eyes looked very unfamiliar.

She seems to have truly changed from the girl she once was. Unable to let go of her resentment or compromise, she obediently plays the role of the foundation's top influencer, and the way she sings on the big stage is anything but sincere.

Jiang Zhengge went to her concerts countless times, and tried countless times to save her from that damned stage.

tide Lena never enjoyed that stage.

She never longed for this stage.

But that night, Jiang Zhengge was no longer sure.

He didn't know if Xilena really intended to rely on the power of "God"—had that Roma girl fallen? She talked about "permanently eliminating fear" like a Catholic missionary.

Jiang Zhengge was uncertain; the more he feared things were getting out of control, the more things seemed to slip out of his control.

"..."

Triton saw through the hesitation in Jiang Zhengge's eyes, and his face immediately became extremely distorted.

"You betrayed her! Jiang Zhengge!" Triton roared. "She never wavered in her goals from beginning to end! You betrayed her!"

"In her plan, Project Black Star has only one purpose! The W weapon has only one function!"

"That's killing! The fucking Katrina!!!"

"Om——"

The satellite's dark blue sails gradually unfurled, and a muffled sound traveled through the structure of the star, past Xileina's feet, and into her ears.
