Chapter 581: Legend

At this moment, the war reporter at the Guang Qi Star Defense Line, watching the retreating Kirami and Apocalypse Divine Kingdom troops, reported with a choked voice.

“The Guang Qi Star Defense Line has achieved a great victory, the enemy is retreating!”

“Great, all three lines have won a complete victory!”

“We won!”

“Haha, who else dares to say the Federation is incompetent? Step out!”

“We defeated four major forces with our own strength and created a miracle once again!”

“Long live the Federation!”

Countless Federation citizens, seeing the victory at the Guang Qi Star Defense Line, could no longer suppress their excitement and cheered joyfully.

Federal Government Administrative Building · Dawn Hall.

Vice Council Speaker Alicia stood up first and led a round of enthusiastic applause.

Clap, clap~

All the council members present stood up and applauded, their faces filled with tears of joy and excitement.

Di Yan Star Battlefield.

Inside the hangar of Star Destroyer Leiji.

Rhine and the others dragged the wreckage of Ilyinas inside, shouting anxiously.

“Medic!”

Dr. Borden rushed over with a group of subordinates. Seeing the ruined Ilyinas and the severely deformed biological cockpit, he shouted in extreme horror.

“Quick, cut open the biological cockpit and get Lord Su Ming out!”

Rhine immediately controlled the Dragon Soul Messenger to raise the super-particle light blade in its hand and cut open the biological cockpit.

Ankajia immediately activated the fourth-generation colonization armor on her body, jumped into the cut-open biological cockpit, and carried out Su Ming, who was covered in blood and in a coma.

Dr. Borden hurriedly stepped forward to examine him, opened the emergency medical kit in panic, and injected three syringes into Su Ming.

“Doctor, how is the boss?”

“He’ll be alright, right?”

Rhine and the others surrounded Borden and asked anxiously.

“The situation is very bad. His body is heavily injured, and his spirit is severely withered. Quickly have the Star Destroyer Leiji return to the Third Planet and head to the Xiguang Laboratory!”

Dr. Borden said with a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Rhine hurriedly raised his wristband and shouted to Timmy.

“Timmy, hurry, return to the Third Planet and head to the Xiguang Laboratory, the boss can’t hold on much longer!”

“I understand.”

Timmy replied immediately.

In the starry sky.

Star Destroyer Leiji turned around quickly and headed towards the opened curvature ring.

At this moment, seeing the Star Destroyer Leiji heading towards the curvature ring, Dragon White turned around and controlled the Dark Demon God to transform into a black stream of light and pursued it.

Starlight City · Xiguang Laboratory.

Dr. Blackes stood in front of the operation console, looking at the dense genetic data on the virtual screen in front of him, his expression revealing a hint of gloom.

At this moment, a subordinate ran over in a hurry and said in a panic.

“Dr. Blackes.”

“Can’t you see I’m busy? And didn’t I say, do not disturb me!”

“But a wounded person has been brought in from outside, and you are requested to go immediately.”

“Who?”

Dr. Blackes turned his head to look at the subordinate.

“It seems to be Lord Su Ming.”

The subordinate replied tremblingly.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Blackes immediately turned and left.

——

Former Azure Blue Star Defense Line.

Countless mechanical octopuses, mechanical flying insects, and other mechanical armies retreated from the distance.

“Stop!”

Herares issued a command majestically.

The massive army stopped.

At this moment, Pamier, Elder Temsi, Fadar, Blade Dragon · Hamikas, and others all looked at Patriarch Herares in silence.

Seeing the morale so low, Patriarch Herares said majestically.

“Victory and defeat are common in war. This time I underestimated the Federation; I didn’t expect the Federation to have grown to this extent, which truly surprised me. Finally, when I noticed something was wrong and wanted to intervene, Elosatin’s spark had already been shattered by Su Ming, and I had no choice but to perish together. However, you don’t need to be too sad; I have already taken action to destroy Su Ming and avenged Elosatin!”

“Patriarch, you are right.”

Hearing Herares’ words, Elder Temsi and the others’ expressions became increasingly unnatural, but they still spoke respectfully.

At this time, Pamier asked in a hoarse voice.

“Patriarch, what should we do next?”

“No rush, let me plan carefully. The next time we strike will be the Federation’s death knell!”

Herares said majestically.

Divine Authority Star · Central Control Room.

God Emperor Van Lo sat on the command chair, with the battle footage of the Steel Rock Star Defense Line and Di Yan Star Defense Line displayed before him.

He watched the Sky Dome City, the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer Isabella, and the Dark Demon God, his entire face somewhat twisted, his eyes becoming extremely scarlet as he muttered to himself.

“Impossible.”

“How could it be like this!”

“How could the Federation win!”

“How could they have so many trump cards!”

Edridge and the others stood to the side, each with an expression of extreme unease on their faces.

It was the first time they had seen God Emperor Van Lo lose his composure like this.

In fact, one cannot blame God Emperor Van Lo. Anyone who bets everything and exhausts all efforts to plan something, only to find out at the end that they might lose due to one wrong move, would find it unacceptable!

At this moment, Aierkesi stepped forward and said to God Emperor Van Lo.

“God Emperor, please calm your anger!”

God Emperor Van Lo slowly turned his head, his scarlet eyes looking at Aierkesi.

Aierkesi was not afraid but spoke up.

“God Emperor, although our siege failed this time, the Federation didn’t fare any better; they are also reaching their limits. I think we still have a chance; it is not yet certain who will win.”

“Haha, you are right!”

God Emperor Van Lo suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing God Emperor Van Lo laugh, Edridge and the others breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke up.

“God Emperor, then what should we do next?”

“You don’t need to worry about that; I have a brilliant idea that will absolutely ensure the Federation has no place to be buried!”

God Emperor Van Lo revealed a creepy smile.

“Yes!”

Edridge and the others looked at each other, responding with some skepticism.

——

Inside the cold high-level ward.

Su Ming lay on the hospital bed, connected to various medical instrument lines, with an IV drip hanging on the back of his hand.

Tick tock~

The medical equipment sounded a prompt from time to time.

At this time, Dr. Blackes and Dragon White stood beside the hospital bed, looking at the unconscious Su Ming.

“How is Su Ming’s condition?”

Dragon White asked coldly.

“It’s very bad. If it weren’t for Sigrid taking most of the damage, coupled with the biological cockpit absorbing part of the impact, as well as the protection of the Dragon Scale Colonization Armor, he would probably be dead by now.”

Dr. Blackes said coldly.

“I don’t care what method you use, save him.”

Dragon White said with a very cold expression.

“Rest assured, I will not let him die.”

Dr. Blackes replied coldly.

After hearing Dr. Blackes’ words, Dragon White did not say anything else, but just stood quietly by the hospital bed, looking at the unconscious Su Ming.

Time passed little by little, and it is unknown how much time had passed; Su Ming was still in a coma, showing no signs of waking up at all.

In the entire ward, only Dragon White remained.

Dragon White slowly reached out and took off her mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. She then walked to the bedside, sat down, looked at the unconscious Su Ming, and reached out to gently stroke his face.

A complex expression appeared on Dragon White’s face. To be honest, she hadn’t expected that someone like her, who admired strength so much, would one day have her own love.

After all, love is a very mysterious thing and comes in many forms; some start with money, some with companionship, some with appearance, some with fate, and so on, while hers started with strength.

As someone in a superior position, her own strength was extraordinary. If there wasn’t strength surpassing her own acting as a stepping stone, she wouldn’t even give a second glance.

Over the years, she had met countless geniuses, but none of them had moved her heart until she met Su Ming during the Three School League.

From a nobody, he gradually displayed his talent and strength, astounding her time and time again.

Later, he was even bold enough to stalk and tease her. However, this series of bold behaviors also gradually attracted her.

Dragon White herself hadn’t expected that they could eventually reach this point; she felt very fortunate and cherished it very much.

This kind of emotion was very precious to her, and perhaps it was also a form of compensation for her childhood.

Knock, knock~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Dragon White put her mask back on and spoke coldly.

The door was immediately pushed open, and Cloud Soft and Blackes walked in.

Then Cloud Soft said respectfully.

“Lord Dragon White.”

“What is it?”

Dragon White replied coldly.

“Everyone at the council has arrived and is waiting for you.”

Cloud Soft reported to Dragon White.

Upon hearing this, Dragon White glanced at the unconscious Su Ming and said to Dr. Blackes.

“I’ll leave Su Ming to you.”

“Hmm.”

Blackes nodded slightly in response.

Dragon White immediately left with Cloud Soft. When they walked out of the ward and arrived at the corridor.

Rhine and the others looked at Dragon White and asked nervously.

“Council Speaker, how is Su Ming’s condition?”

“No immediate life-threatening danger.”

Dragon White replied indifferently, then walked away directly with Cloud Soft.

Hearing Dragon White’s words, Rhine and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Federal Administrative Building · Dawn Hall.

Dragon Dust, Faraon, Alicia, Mokdo, and the others had all taken their seats.

The entire council hall was very lively, and everyone was discussing this defensive battle.

“This was really close!”

“It almost collapsed. If it weren’t for the prophet Isabella taking action, the three defense lines would probably have collapsed!”

“That’s right, it was really timely.”

“But even so, I heard the casualties were very tragic.”

“Yes, I heard General Sigrid sacrificed himself.”

“No way?”

“It’s true, I heard it was to save General Su Ming.”

“Then what about General Su Ming?”

“I don’t know, I heard his life or death is uncertain.”

“No wonder Lord Dragon White was furious and took action personally!”

“But having said that, Lord Dragon White’s strength is so strong!”

“And that new Star Destroyer is also super strong; it actually absorbed the Mechanical Patriarch’s attack and reversely destroyed its force field barrier!”

“It is indeed super strong, but when was this Star Destroyer built? Why have I never heard of it?”

“I don’t know either.”

Just as everyone was discussing it.

At this moment, the tightly closed door of the council hall was slowly pushed open.

The originally noisy council hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone’s eyes were focused on the door.

At this moment, Dragon White walked in under the gaze of everyone.

In an instant, all the council members stood up and saluted Dragon White.

“Council Speaker!”

Dragon White nodded slightly, then walked through the main aisle and stepped onto the council platform.

She scanned everyone present and said calmly.

“Sit down, let’s start today’s meeting. The main purpose of calling this meeting is to discuss the various tasks after the great war, as well as to deal with the upcoming crisis. Everyone, please feel free to speak your mind.”

Hearing Dragon White’s words, everyone started discussing.

“Although we repelled the Apocalypse, Dark Star, Kirami, and the Mechanical Race this time, our situation is not optimistic; the troops have suffered heavy casualties!”

“The most troublesome thing is that we are now besieged in the Old Galaxy and cannot obtain new resources; we will be finished sooner or later.”

“I feel the same way.”

Dragon White stood on the platform, quietly watching everyone.

At this moment, Senior Councilor Baikedi stood up first and said to Dragon White somewhat nervously.

“Lord Dragon White, I don’t know if I should say this.”

“I said, feel free to speak!”

Dragon White replied coldly.

“Then I will say it. Lord Dragon White, although we won this time and temporarily repelled the enemy, our situation has not improved because of this; on the contrary, it has become worse. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties, supplies have been consumed in large quantities, and both the economy and production have serious problems. Moreover, we are trapped in the Old Galaxy and cannot get out. As time passes, we will become weaker and weaker. When the enemy makes a comeback, we may not be able to hold on.”

Senior Councilor Baikedi said to Dragon White.

“And then?”

Dragon White looked at Councilor Baikedi coldly.

“I think we should give up that divine object; we really can’t hold on anymore.”

Councilor Baikedi gritted his teeth and suggested.

“I think Councilor Baikedi is right. It’s not that we don’t know how to look at the long term, it’s just that we can’t even get through the immediate situation.”

Many council members echoed.

Dragon Dust, Alicia, and Faraon were rarely all silent.

If it were before, they would have stood up to oppose it long ago.

At this moment, hearing the words of Baikedi and the others, Long Shadow’s face suddenly darkened, and he immediately stood up and said.

“I object. If we hand over the divine object now, wouldn’t all our previous sacrifices become a joke? Moreover, once handed over, it would be equivalent to handing our lives over to the enemy.”

“Lord Long Shadow, we also know that doing this is equivalent to slow suicide, but the problem is if we don’t do this, we may not be able to survive the next time.”

Baikedi and others argued back.

“That won’t do either.”

Long Shadow strongly opposed it.

If Dragon White really compromised, then everything would be over. No matter which side the object fell into, he would have no chance to get it back, let alone a chance to ascend to power.

At this moment, everyone looked at Dragon White, waiting for her decision.

Dragon White changed her usual unquestionable attitude and said somewhat loosely.

“What you say all makes sense; let me consider this matter!”

“Council Speaker Dragon White is wise!”

Seeing that Dragon White did not reject it outright, Baikedi and the others said with great joy.

“The matter of the divine object is temporarily set aside. Now I announce one thing: abandon the three defense lines of Guang Qi Star, Di Yan Star, and Steel Rock Star. All personnel and troops will retreat to the Third Planet. The Third Planet will activate underground shelter facilities to accommodate all the evacuated citizens.”

Dragon White said directly to everyone.

“Ah? We are retreating to the Third Planet?”

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this.

“That’s right, concentrate all forces; only then can we ensure absolute safety.”

Dragon White issued the order without question.

“Yes.”

Everyone hesitated for a moment, but finally replied one after another.

With the order issued,

Di Yan Star Defense Line.

One after another, the light annihilation space-based weapons closed, the Crystal Source Fortress activated its propulsion devices, and numerous ships turned their bows, preparing to evacuate.

Officers controlled their mechas and commanded their subordinates, shouting.

“Move faster!”

“Take all weapons and supplies that can be taken away!”

“For anything that really can’t be taken, abandon it all!”

At this moment, war reporters aimed their cameras at the retreating troops and reported in real-time.

“The Federal Council has issued the latest evacuation order; everyone can see that the weapons and troops of the defense line are retreating.”

“Didn’t we win? Why do we have to abandon our homes?”

“There’s no other way. If we don’t retreat, and the enemy attacks again, we will have to fight on multiple fronts, and it will be easy for problems to arise.”

“But if we all retreat to the Third Planet, and the enemy comes to attack, if we don’t defend it, wouldn’t we all be finished?”

“There’s no other way; everything has its pros and cons.”

In the Star Cluster Forum, many citizens watched the evacuation footage and discussed it with worry.

——

In the pitch-black world.

Su Ming kept falling towards the bottomless abyss, letting the darkness consume him.

He had no fear, no terror; what he had was only an unusually familiar feeling.

At this moment, the pitch-black surroundings suddenly underwent a earth-shattering change.

When Su Ming came to his senses, he had returned to the solemn, grave, and sacred hall, sitting on the throne with the crown of silence on his head.

Figures still surrounded him, and these figures were still constantly blaming him.

“You are not wrong, we are the ones who are wrong!”

Su Ming looked at these accusing figures, only feeling them becoming increasingly blurred, and even the figure of his most loyal subordinate, Omiser, became very blurry.

Immediately after, the figures and objects within the great hall began to disappear one by one.

Su Ming sat alone on the throne, and a dusty memory gradually emerged.

That day, he had achieved his ideal and realized total unification!

But what followed was uprisings everywhere, with rebel troops attacking the capital from all directions.

The flames of war ignited once again.

He sat alone on the throne, his heart filled with anger, confusion, and unwillingness to accept defeat.

Recalling this, Su Ming’s hands involuntarily clenched into fists, cracking with the tension, and then negative emotions like helplessness and fatigue surged into his heart.

At this moment, he felt so tired, so very tired, and his heart gradually turned cold!

He did not know what he had done wrong.

He had clearly wanted to bring peace to the world, to have no wars, no more bloodshed, no more sorrow—what had he done wrong?

Why was everyone opposing him?

He truly could not accept it, nor could he understand it, and he certainly could not admit his failure.

In the end, he let his most loyal follower, Omiser, leave, facing it all alone.

Although failure can be overcome, people’s hearts had changed, and that could never be recovered.

That night was extremely dim, without a trace of starlight, and the darkness was like a man-eating beast.

Su Ming sat alone on the throne, with only the noisy sounds of the siege and battle cries coming from outside.

The candles in the great hall slowly extinguished, and then it gradually plunged into darkness.

Eventually, the various rebel armies stormed into the great hall.

However, the entire hall was empty, with only a crown left resting on the throne, and Su Ming’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

From then on, Su Ming seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one ever saw him again.

Various rumors about him began to circulate across the world.

Some said that he could not accept his defeat and chose to hang himself.

Some said he moved behind the scenes, secretly controlling the major powers.

Others said he went into seclusion, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs.

Still others said he chose to wander the world and finally mended his ways.

From then on, he could no longer be found, becoming a legend.

Inside the high-end ward of the Xiguang Laboratory.

Su Ming’s eyelids twitched slightly, and the values on the monitoring equipment fluctuated significantly.

Dr. Borden saw the fluctuation in the instrument’s readings and immediately turned his head to look at Su Ming.

At this moment, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, looking blankly at the ceiling.

“Lord Su Ming, you are awake.”

Dr. Borden said with great excitement.

Upon hearing Dr. Borden’s words, Su Ming struggled to turn his head to look at him and spoke.

“Why am I here?”

“You suffered severe injuries and were sent here.”

Dr. Borden replied excitedly.

“Oh no, the defense line!”

Su Ming suddenly remembered.

“My Lord, you don’t need to be nervous. The defense line held, and the enemy has already retreated.”

Dr. Borden said hurriedly.

“It held?”

Su Ming was very astonished to hear this.

“You just woke up, don’t think so much. Get some good rest, I’ll go notify Dr. Blacks and the others.”

Dr. Borden hurried out.

Su Ming lay on the bed, feeling lost.

At this moment, the ward door was pushed open, and Rhine and Gabres rushed in one after another.

“Su Ming!”

“Boss!”

Seeing that Su Ming had woken up, Rhine and the others shouted with great excitement.

Seeing Rhine and the others, a weak smile appeared on Su Ming’s face.

“You are all here.”

“Boss, you finally woke up! If you hadn’t woken up, we would have been worried to death!”

Rhine and the others said with red eyes.

“How long have I been in a coma?”

Su Ming asked with confusion.

“You’ve been in a coma for seven days. If it weren’t for the people at Xiguang Laboratory guaranteeing that you would be fine, I would have suspected you weren’t going to make it,” Gabres said to Su Ming.

“Sorry for making you worry.”

“Why talk about that?”

“By the way, how did I survive? I only remember that after Vice Clan Leader Elosatin self-destructed, the Mechanical Clan leader launched an attack.”

Su Ming asked with confusion.

Hearing this, Rhine and the others all had unnatural expressions, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that their expressions weren’t quite right, Su Ming looked at Gabres and asked.

“Gabres?”

“It was General Sigrid who saved you.”

Gabres said in a deep voice.

“General Sigrid?”

Su Ming was slightly stunned.

“At the last moment, he used a Light Speed Flash to block in front of you and sacrificed himself.”

Gabres said with a very heavy heart.

Upon hearing Gabres’s words, Su Ming’s heart sank to the bottom, and a sorrowful expression appeared on his face.

Gabres took a deep breath and said to Su Ming, feigning ease.

“Don’t be sad, this was his choice. Also, you should be happy; he won the bet and successfully saved your life! Speaking of which, it’s also thanks to your good luck. Originally, General Sigrid was entangled by Fadar and had no chance to go save you. But at the critical moment, that Fadar suddenly stopped moving, giving General Sigrid the chance to break away.”

“I see. How was the Mechanical Clan leader repelled?”

Su Ming was silent for a long time, then asked.

“Lord Long Bai personally piloted the Dark Demon God and brought new Star Destroyers to join the battle, eventually forcing the enemy to retreat.”

Gabres sighed and explained.

Hearing this, Su Ming’s expression became even more silent.

At this moment, the ward door was pushed open, and Dr. Blacks and Dr. Borden walked in.

Dr. Blacks walked straight to the hospital bed, carefully examined Su Ming, and then said.

“You are seriously injured. Although your life has been saved, you need to rest well from now on.”

“Dr. Blacks, what about Ilyinas?”

Su Ming slowly raised his head and asked Dr. Blacks.

“She was severely injured and is in the incubation chamber.”

Dr. Blacks replied coldly.

“Take me to see her.”

Su Ming said in a hoarse voice.

“Boss, why don’t you rest for a while and go see her after your body recovers?”

Rhine and the others all spoke up to persuade him.

“I’m fine.”

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

“As you wish!”

Dr. Blacks didn’t refuse either, just said coldly.

“Rhine, go get a wheelchair.”

Su Ming said, looking at Rhine.

“Okay!”

Rhine replied hurriedly.

A moment later.

Rhine and the others pushed Su Ming, following Dr. Blacks through layers of checkpoints, and arrived at the viewing platform of the incubation area.

Su Ming looked inside through the glass of the viewing platform and could see countless tubes extending down from the ceiling, inserted into a giant biological tank three hundred meters high.

The entire biological tank was filled with light green culture fluid, soaking half of a black tumor-like biological tissue.

Su Ming looked at Ilyinas soaking in the biological tank and asked Dr. Blacks.

“Doctor, what exactly is Ilyinas’s condition now?”

“She is severely injured and almost on the verge of death. Although I have placed her in the culture fluid, the situation is still very grim; her vital activity has not shown any significant change.”

“Can she be saved?”

“It’s hard to say, and I advise you not to hold out too much hope. Even if she is saved, she won’t be able to return to her peak state.”

Dr. Blacks said coldly to Su Ming.

“No matter what, please save her.”

Su Ming looked at Ilyinas and replied with a very heavy heart.

“I understand.”

Dr. Blacks replied calmly.

——

The pitch-black starry sky.

There was a violent fluctuation in space, and then the terrifying body of Clan Leader Herares emerged.

At this moment, Clan Leader Herares turned his head to look into the distance, where a gray stream of light approached at extreme speed, and then the Dark Star Emperor appeared, piloting the Death Lord.

“Dark Star Emperor, you’re here. Long time no see!”

Clan Leader Herares looked at the Dark Star Emperor and greeted him in a deep voice.

“Hmph, why is it only you?”

The Dark Star Emperor snorted and said.

“No need to rush, they will be here soon!”

Clan Leader Herares turned his head to look at the starry sky not far away.

Suddenly, that patch of starry sky twisted without warning, with lightning and thunder inside, and then Clan Leader Hillogg and the Divine Emperor Van Lo emerged.

At this moment, the leaders of the four factions gathered together.

“Everyone has arrived. I am very grateful that you gave me this small bit of face!”

Divine Emperor Van Lo smiled and said to Herares and the Dark Star Emperor.

“Hmph, speak your mind, get to the point!”

The Dark Star Emperor replied unceremoniously.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. The reason I asked you all to come here this time is actually to propose that we all cooperate to deal with the Federal Government together!”

Divine Emperor Van Lo stated his purpose.

“Interesting. Clan Leader Hillogg, is this your idea as well?”

Clan Leader Herares immediately looked at Clan Leader Hillogg.

“That’s right. I think Divine Emperor Van Lo’s proposal is very good. The Federal Government’s strength exceeds our expectations. If we don’t cooperate and act like a scattered pile of sand instead, none of us will be able to take down the Federal Government in the end.”

Hillogg replied with a smile.

“That makes sense!”

Herares replied in agreement.

In fact, Hillogg and Herares were not truly afraid of the Federal Government, nor were they completely without confidence in invading the Federal Government; it was just that their two greatest enemies were not the Federal Government.

They were each other’s greatest threat. If one side suffered heavy damage during the attack on the Federal Government, their situation would become dangerous.

This was also one of the reasons why they dared not go all out to attack the Federal Government.

“Hmph, easy for you to say. We cooperate to attack the Federal Government, but who gets the spoils?”

The Dark Star Emperor asked coldly.

“Simple. We first work together to destroy the Federal Government, and as for the spoils, it’s up to each of our own abilities!”

Clan Leader Hillogg said.

“Good!”

After hearing this, the Dark Star Emperor said in a cold voice.

Although he really didn’t want to cooperate with these guys, he had no other choice now.

“Then it’s settled. We will work together to attack the Federal Government!”

Divine Emperor Van Lo said with a laugh.

“No problem. When do we make our move?”

Herares immediately asked.

“The Federal Government has now gathered all its forces and retreated to the Third Planet. Three days from now, we will assemble our forces to attack the Third Planet and completely annihilate them!”

Divine Emperor Van Lo said, his murderous intent fully exposed.

“Good!”

Herares and the others all agreed.

——

Starlight City.

A low siren sounded.

All vehicles and citizens on the streets stopped, looking at the outdoor virtual projections with heavy hearts.

All projection advertisements had turned black and white, displaying the portrait of General Sigrid.

At this moment, a little girl hugged her mother’s neck and asked curiously.

“Mother, who is that?”

“That is the hero who protected us.”

The young mother replied with red eyes.

Royal Court Academy.

Black hover cars pulled up to the school gate one after another, and then the doors opened.

Numerous officers got out of the cars, holding flowers in their hands, and walked into the school with sorrowful expressions.

At this moment, a newly enrolled student, looking at so many officers returning to school, asked the classmate beside him in confusion.

“What’s happening today? Why are so many officers and seniors returning to school?”

“Don’t you know? General Sigrid sacrificed himself, and he is being sent to the cemetery for burial today.”

The classmate beside him explained.

“Ah? General Sigrid was our senior?”

“That’s right!”

At this moment, inside the Royal Court Academy cemetery.

General Sigrid’s remains were buried in a separate small cemetery in the Land of Eternal Sleep, and his portrait was carved onto a white tombstone.

Family members dressed in black mourning clothes, with tear stains on their faces, stood on both sides.

Dragon White and the others held flowers, looking at the tombstone with heavy expressions.

At this moment, a roar came from the sky.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and saw a VI Generation Dark Matter Mecha, the Dark Ghost, landing in the distance.

Not long after, an old man dressed in black mourning clothes, his body slightly hunched, his skin dark, his hair white, and his eyes deep, walked over with a sorrowful expression.

Some council members at the scene whispered.

“Isn’t this the Federal Government’s Second General, Sikahn? Why is he here?”

“He is General Sigrid’s father.”

“Ah? Then why didn’t we see him before?”

“I heard he was previously responsible for guarding the construction of the Federal Government’s secret weapons, and it was only recently that the weapons were unsealed that he came out.”

“I see.”

At this moment, Sikahn walked to the front of the tombstone, bowed to General Sigrid, took a deep breath to calm his surging heart, and then went to the family section.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Dragon White held a bouquet of white flowers and walked up to a noblewoman with red eyes, a delicate and graceful appearance, who was hugging a little girl, and said in a deep voice.

“Lady Nan Luo, please accept my condolences!”

“Hmm.”

Lady Nan Luo replied with a sob.

Council President Dragon White then walked up to Sikahn and bowed to him.

“Sikahn, please accept my condolences!”

“Thank you, Council President. It is my son’s honor to be able to sacrifice himself for the Federal Government.”

Sikahn replied in a hoarse voice.

Dragon White was silent for a few seconds, then walked to the coffin, placed the flowers in his hand on it, and bowed deeply.

At this moment, Dragon Dust, Faraon, and others also stepped forward with flowers to converse with and mourn with the family members.

The atmosphere at the scene was very heavy.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the memorial service came to an end.

Many council members and generals conversed in low voices.

“It’s such a pity that General Sigrid sacrificed himself just like that.”

“There was nothing that could be done about it.”

At this moment, the ceremonial officer at the scene shouted loudly.

“General Su Ming has arrived!”

Dragon White and the others turned to look over.

They saw Rhine and the others pushing Su Ming in.

The council members and generals along the way saw Su Ming and bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with admiration.

At this moment, Rhine lowered his voice and introduced them to Su Ming.

“The noblewoman on the left is General Sigrid’s wife, Lady Nan Luo. The old man on the right is the Federal Government’s Second General, Sikahn, who is also General Sigrid’s father.”

Su Ming nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Soon, Rhine pushed Su Ming to the front of the tombstone.

At this moment, Su Ming pressed his hands on the armrests and stood up shakily by force.

Rhine and the others wanted to support Su Ming, but were refused by him.

At this moment, Ankajia hurriedly handed a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to Su Ming. Su Ming took the white chrysanthemums, walked up to Lady Nan Luo, and said in a deep voice.

“I’m sorry, Lady Nan Luo!”

“It’s okay, this is not your fault.”

Lady Nan Luo looked at Su Ming, tears streaming down uncontrollably, and replied while suppressing the sorrow in her heart.

Su Ming bowed slightly to Lady Nan Luo, turned, and walked slowly to Sikahn to apologize in a deep voice.

“I’m sorry!”

“No need to apologize. I am proud of General Sigrid’s choice, and you should not have any psychological burden; everything was for the Federal Government!”

Although this was the first time Sikahn had seen Su Ming in person, he had heard General Sigrid complain about his deeds.

After all, having his position as the number one genius of the Royal Court Academy overtaken by an obscure junior was truly hard to swallow.

“Thank you.”

Su Ming replied in a deep voice, then walked to the front of the tombstone.

He looked at General Sigrid’s portrait, bowed deeply, and then placed the white chrysanthemums in his hand down.

After doing all this, Su Ming retreated.

At this moment, gusts of breeze blew past, the maple leaves swayed, making a rustling sound.

It seemed to be feeling regret for the fall of a generation’s pride.
