Chapter 1024: Chapter 667: Submission

"Warning! Do not take another step forward!"

A cold, deep mechanical voice echoed.

On the platform, several elite fully modified personnel blocked the path, shielding the Federation’s high officials behind them, raising their arms and aiming the electromagnetic guns in their palms at the slowly approaching man in the black hat.

"Protect Mr. President!"

A stern-looking middle-aged man in uniform commanded in a low voice, his expression grim.

With heavy clanking footsteps, another eight elite fully modified personnel emerged from the shadows, tightly surrounding the elderly man in the wheelchair to protect him.

The hidden "mechanical sentinels" on both sides of the platform and the hall ceiling also emerged, with heavy machine guns precisely locked onto their target.

The gentleman in the black hat stopped his steps in the face of numerous "gun barrels" aimed at him.

Less than ten meters separated both sides.

"Your Majesty Jack Spett, whatever you desire, the Federation can provide... Please show mercy."

The Federation’s President, Gu Qingshu, spoke in a deep voice from his wheelchair.

The elder’s cloudy eyes were like deep pools, hiding their depths.

"Having sent those ants time and again to cause trouble, now you know to beg for mercy... heh, I gave you all a chance."

The gentleman in the black hat stood upright, ignoring the guns around him.

"But unfortunately, the Azure Federation did not cherish it..."

With the tone of these words turning cold, all the high officials of the Federation felt a chill in their hearts, their expressions slightly changing.

"Cover Mr. President’s retreat!"

The middle-aged man who spoke earlier issued another command.

Yet his thunderous voice echoed in the hall, but the expected gunfire did not occur, and a deadly silence prevailed.

The middle-aged man’s face gradually turned to horror, his eyes widening.

All the Federation’s high officials present also looked shocked.

The gentleman in the black hat leaned on a cane and raised his other hand, spreading his pitch-black fingers.

Gravitational and repulsive forces activated simultaneously, enveloping every fully modified personnel and mechanical sentinel.

Creaaaak—

The hall was pierced by a sharp sound that made one’s teeth ache.

On the platform, a dozen fully modified personnel and mechanical sentinels all twisted into a mass, gradually shrinking as if being compressed by an invisible force.

Clang, clang, clang.

One by one, the two-meter-tall fully modified personnel were forcibly "squeezed" into basketball-sized high-density metal balls, their bionic skin drenched in thick blood rolling on the platform...

The middle-aged man who had given orders gulped, cold sweat streaming down.

"Ahhhh!!"

An unbearable female spokesperson screamed.

But the next second, she exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

With a bang.

She vanished from this world.

The gentleman in the black hat then slowly shifted his finger, pointing at the middle-aged man among the Federation’s high officials.

"No... you can’t..."

In silence, the man instantly felt a force of gravity pulling at his body from the inside out, alongside an unstoppable repulsive force pressing from all directions.

Indescribable fear and pain surged at that moment.

He wished to speak, but it was as if the air was sucked out of his lungs, leaving him unable to utter a sound.

Bang!!

The next second, the uniformed middle-aged man followed in the spokeswoman’s footsteps, turning into a cloud of blood mist on the spot!

The secretary was pushing the wheelchair, trying to escape with President Gu Qingshu, but the two of them flew back like toys, crashing hard onto the ground.

The elder lifted his head to see the gentleman in the black hat silhouetted against the light, making his expression unreadable.

By this moment, Gu Qingshu understood that he was doomed.

He glanced at Su Hong, the Pope of the Holy Church not far away, who kept his eyelids lowered and expressionless, with no intention of assisting from beginning to end.

Moreover...

Even if he intervened, nothing could be changed.

No one on the Azure Star could stand against the terrifying presence before them!

Gu Qingshu instantly grasped Su Hong’s intention, struggling to his feet and angrily reprimanded the man in the black hat:

"The Federation will not submit to you, outsider! Freedom belongs to Azure, and humankind’s future is destined to be bright..."

Whoosh—

An ivory white carved cane pierced through his head.

Interrupting the words.

"Mr. President..."

Everyone on the platform was scared into silence, their faces filled with terror.

The extraordinary players captured below exclaimed.

"The Federation’s President was... was killed?!"

"Will the King in Azure also kill all of us too?!"

"I don’t want to die yet!"

Chen Lun withdrew the cane, the blood naturally flowing from the tip, drop by drop.

The president’s secretary, sitting down to the side, trembled, his mouth agape, and his eyes fixedly staring at Gu Qingshu’s body, not daring to speak.

"Your Majesty the King in Azure..."

Among the Federation’s high officials, a slightly plump middle-aged man forced a smile and spoke humbly.

Yet in the next second, with a bang, he turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Everyone remaining on the platform could not help but tremble.

"Shh."

The gentleman in the black hat extended a finger to his lips, gesturing for silence.

The entire hall fell into immediate silence.

Chen Lun revealed a satisfied smile and then addressed the man in the white shirt:

"Do you think that three demigods plus some saints could stop me? Or do you intend to resist until the end along with the Holy Church and Federation, preferring to die a hero rather than live in dishonor?"

"You misunderstand, Your Majesty the King in Azure."

Pope Su Hong gave a bitter smile, shaking his head.

He made a gesture, and in the next instant, two azure blue flame portals appeared beside him, from which emerged two elders in cloaks.

The three of them folded their arms and bowed to the gentleman in the black hat.

"Your Majesty, presidents can be replaced, but humanity cannot be wiped out because of it... On Azure Star, no one understands ’Angel’ and ’Eternity’ better than the Holy Church... What you represent is supreme authority."

Su Hong spoke in a deep voice.

"I, representing the Azure Holy Church, submit to you."

The entire hall, both on and off the platform, was shocked by this.

The "supreme" Holy Church of the Federation had actually surrendered to humans!

This meant that the whole Federation was declaring its surrender!

"Your Majesty, King in Azure, from now on, the Holy Church will fully assist you and fulfill all your requirements..."

Su Hong spoke, his mind racing to figure out what exactly the other party wanted.

"I can assure you that within seven days, the Federation will elect a new president, and relevant departments will fully support you in establishing a new church to spread the gospel and propagate faith... In just a century, no, fifty years, your believers will be all over the Azure Star."

Chen Lun maintained a smile but remained silent.

He actually didn’t care about these things at all.

Perhaps for other beings of high rank, faith was of utmost importance, but with the "Return to the Nest" bookmark symbolizing autumn in his hand, Chen Lun could harvest others’ sanity at any time, which wasn’t so urgent for him.

’The Azure Star is the reserved territory of the old "Azure Holy Flame." Here, apart from the Holy Fire Pathway, there is no other pathway power... So the strength of high-ranking officials like Su Hong is much weaker compared to ordinary Saint Demi-Gods.’

Chen Lun thought.

The characteristic of the Holy Fire Pathway is integration, which can be very strong or very weak, depending on how much Sequence pathway strength has been absorbed.

Unfortunately, the conditions of the Azure Star are quite "harsh."

There isn’t even a Unique Divinity here; Demigod is the highest one can reach.

"Your Majesty, King in Azure..."

Su Hong and the others saw Chen Lun not speaking, and they couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Chen Lun glanced at them and said lightly:

"Arrange as you see fit, Mr. Su Hong."

Su Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and promptly agreed.

At this moment, Chen Lun spoke again:

"I hope to visit the Federation’s research center, as there are things there that I want... Also, release all the captured supernatural players. The ’Ark’ is already destroyed, and humans on the Azure Star cannot leave the Solar System. These things have lost their meaning."

"?!"

Su Hong and the others were instantly stunned.

"Your Majesty, what... what does this mean?"

His pupils contracted sharply, even a flicker of panic revealed in his eyes.

"Just as it is literally..."

Chen Lun turned around and began walking off the platform, speaking casually.

"Why haven’t you considered that the so-called ’Apocalypse’ prophecy might just be your so-called ’Holy Flame’ itself? Ha... It has long sealed off the Solar System, treating it as a grand banquet, and humans are nothing but food."

"No... This can’t be true... It can’t!"

On the platform, the faces of the Federation’s upper echelons changed upon hearing these words, alternating between crying and laughing as if their faith had collapsed into madness.

Even Su Hong’s face turned deathly pale.

The two Demigod Archbishops beside him had twisted expressions, their dim eyes bursting with disbelief.

Chen Lun didn’t care whether these people believed him or not. He told them the truth simply because he had once been a member of the Azure Star.

"Your Majesty, King in Azure."

At this moment, Su Hong’s trembling voice rang out.

Chen Lun stopped his steps and turned his head slightly.

"What is it?"

He asked indifferently.

"The Holy Church and the Federation are willing to pay any price... No matter what you want, we will do our utmost to achieve it, only praying that you can show mercy to the humans on the Azure Star, give them a way out at the end times... Even if just allowing a few sparks to continue, we would be content."

Su Hong’s voice was quite low, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

It seemed he believed Chen Lun’s words.

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow.

He didn’t expect this Pope of the Holy Church not only to be aware of circumstances but to possess a compassionate heart, taking responsibility for the humans on the Azure Star.

"Heh, we’ll see how I feel."

Chen Lun chuckled and walked away.

If the so-called ’"Apocalypse"’ truly originated from the old "Azure Holy Flame," what right or ability did he have to protect others...

At that time, he would struggle to save himself.

’Only by quickly advancing can I snatch a sliver of survival...’

Chen Lun thought.

The supernatural players in the hall were soon released.

A total of 810 people were captured, more than half of whom had their lives and supernatural power drained, becoming part of the "Holy Fire," used as a power source for the "Ark" and disappearing together in the "Solar Wind"...

No matter what identity these deceased individuals had or what public opinion storm their "disappearance" would stir, Chen Lun did not care in the slightest.

At this moment, he was having a brief conversation with Polaris and others outside the warehouse area.

"Teacher, you really have descended..."

Polaris said excitedly, lowering her head.

Su Keying, Wei Yin, Pumpkin, and Sunny Xiaoyu all displayed grateful expressions, their hearts filled with reverence.

They increasingly believed that their devout prayers had brought about new life.

"Well done, Ah Bei."

Chen Lun praised.

"Your descent ritual helped me a lot..."

He spoke, becoming serious in demeanor.

"Actually, the Azure Star and the Sun Continent have an extremely mysterious connection. Both worlds are facing the threat of ’Apocalypse,’ related to terrifying beings beyond the Transcendent Sequence outside the starry sky... That’s why I’m here, for something I need."

"Apocalypse? Beings beyond the Transcendent Sequence?!"

Polaris and the others were extremely shocked.

Chen Lun nodded.

"Those are still far too distant from you. Quickly advance to a higher rank, only then will you be qualified to participate... Azure Star, as your homeland, I assume you don’t wish to see it destroyed."

Polaris and others inexplicably felt a pressure.

They had previously speculated about the reason supernatural power had manifested in reality... Now it seemed it might be related to that ’Apocalypse.’

"Tomorrow morning at ten, wait for me at the entrance of the Federation’s research center."

Chen Lun cast a deep glance at Polaris.

"Your Saint promotion ceremony, it’s time to complete it."

"Ah?!"

Polaris was taken aback.
