Chapter 1229: Chapter 1083 Quantum Cloud

In the profound expanse of the universe,

a fleet was rapidly voyaging.

On the flagship, in the control room,

Xinsha, clad in a sheer black veil, allowed her fiery figure and subtly visible curves to be exposed.

"The target... the Cancer Galaxy!"

She took a deep breath and issued the command.

In her heart, she still harbored doubts.

During the crisis on Emperor Star, Xinsha was fortunately abroad, narrowly escaping disaster.

Then she immediately received a message from the Sixth Prince Zorro, ordering her to exterminate one prince after another who was abroad.

"Could Sixth Brother Zorro be so confident that he will undoubtedly seize the throne?"

Thinking of the Sixth Prince’s previous orders, Xinsha couldn’t help but feel stirred.

At Zorro’s command, she led a fleet to eliminate some potential threats for him.

Kaya was certainly not among the targets originally.

But an unexpected piece of news had prompted her to take action directly.

"Kaya has advanced to the Neutron Immortal level?"

Xinsha found this intelligence hard to believe.

Yet, this was information transmitted by Barbaro, the defender of Cancer Fortress.

A prince of Neutron Immortal rank was a significant enough threat to vie for the throne.

Therefore, at Zorro’s command, she still came.

"Contact Barbaro."

Xinsha ordered.

A virtual silhouette immediately appeared; it was three meters tall with blue skin and a fearsome face, covered in countless crisscross scars resembling centipedes.

"Princess Xinsha..."

Barbaro saluted first, his eyes lingering on Xinsha’s alluring body with a hint of infatuation.

"Kaya... where is he?"

Xinsha spoke.

"Just within the Cancer Galaxy, near Alpha Star..."

Barbaro replied hastily.

"Good, I’ll be there shortly."

Xinsha ended the communication, her expression somewhat dazed.

Years ago, she had tried to win over Kaya, yet she had never expected that his talent might even surpass Sato’s!

When Sato died, he was still at the Red Giant level.

But now, Kaya had reached the Neutron Star level!

The gap had widened.

"It seems so many inexplicable things have cropped up recently..."

Xinsha sighed softly.

...

Above the pitch-black Neutron Star, inside the fortress,

Barbaro had just ended the communication when his expression suddenly changed.

Puff!

A sword materialized, piercing straight through his chest.

"How could this be? My body, penetrated by a sword?"

As a Neutron Immortal, Barbaro couldn’t believe it: "And this sudden attack..."

Gravity exploded around his body, his tremendous power instantly destroying the space fortress.

A dark Neutron Star appeared, then took on the form of Barbaro.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xi, holding the Neutron Sword, was slightly surprised: "You didn’t die... No... that strike did not pierce your Star Core..."

At that moment, he was in the guise of a youthful and immortal figure in green robes.

In his hand was that Neutron Sword!

This was his greatest legacy from a past life.

As for the 36 million anonymous account deposits, compared to the billions borrowed later and his princely funds, they were practically nothing.

’Eh? Come to think of it, the Royal Bank’s headquarters are on Emperor Star, if it gets destroyed in this conflict, does that mean I don’t have to pay back my loans?’

Fang Xi’s thoughts drifted inexplicably.

He had first brought Wenger on an expedition to survey stars, then sneaked back here, initially coveting this Neutron Star.

He hadn’t expected such an unexpected windfall!

Since Barbaro betrayed him, he couldn’t blame Fang Xi for being ruthless.

On the other side, dark patterns emerged on Barbaro, his expression ferocious: "Who are you, daring to attempt the assassination of an Imperial defense general?"

He inwardly rejoiced, grateful for his race’s unique talent to conceal his life star, which saved him from grave injury from that earlier strike.

"I, I am naturally a pirate!"

Fang Xi laughed heartily, executing a slash with his Flying Sword.

Clang!

The Neutron Sword emitted unimaginable Sword Light, its terrifying gravity overwhelming everything.

Even more terrifying was that within the Sword Light seemed to lurk something indescribable—strands of the Law emerged, twisting the very fabric of the Void.

The area turned into a prison, where even light struggled to escape!

"A concept of space-time? Characteristics of black holes?"

Barbaro was utterly shocked.

What kind of demon was this?

With a concept of space-time, rising to a Black Hole Immortal would be effortless, right?

Before that thought finished crossing his mind, his head flew off.

Against a Neutron Fighting Immortal who only knew brute force, armed with an equally ranked Neutron Sword, Fang Xi could easily handle him.

Not long after, a dark Neutron Star appeared.

The life star of Barbaro joined with Fang Xi’s Neutron Star and another one at his feet.

The three Neutron Stars performed an irregular Three-body Movement, rapidly converging and devouring each other...

Everything in this star area started to congregate towards the center, eventually accumulating above Fang Xi’s Fire Feather Star.

The dark Neutron Star shifted slightly, reassuming the guise of Fang Xi.

’Sigh, from today on, the Empire’s prime spot for Red Giant Immortals to advance is no more...’

He sighed, but there was no hint of guilt in his demeanor.

The Lanicanian Empire, after all, belonged to the Phoenix clan.

As a prince, he possessed a natural right to succession.

In terms of his past life, this was akin to saying, "A son who steals from his father isn’t considered a thief!"

"Thinking this way, indeed, I have been too merciful..."

Fang Xi transformed into a streak of light and arrived in front of another stellar body.

This star, encircled by several planets without any intelligent life, formed a small solar system.

With a twist of his body, he instantly became a Neutron Star, greedily devouring everything...

Emperor Star.

A Quantum Cloud enveloped more than half of the planet, obscuring everything happening within.

Spaceships belonging to roving cosmic pirates suddenly exploded.

Zorro was followed by Nietzsche, and a number of extremely powerful Black Hole Immortals, who watched the mysterious planet.

This group included the previously suspended head of the Royal Science Academy.

"Have we... made a mistake?"

"Contact with the Insect race and Star beasts, and then leading in the Top Five Pirate Gangs... The Emperor Star has been destroyed in an instant..."

A member of the Royal Family, an elder, looked on with some reluctance.

"If we hadn’t done this, Levi would have surely broken through the ranks of the Universe Integrator, reducing our existence to nothing..."

Levi Phoenix was the real name of that great universal emperor.

Nietzsche scoffed, "Your Highness, it’s time to decide."

"Is there still no confirmation on the Emperor’s condition?"

Zorro inquired.

"The Emperor has been besieged by five Black Hole Immortals and entered into a Quantum Entanglement State with them... The Quantum Cloud that now shrouds most of the Emperor Star is a testament to their struggle... It’s already a sort of Cosmic Wonder," Nietzsche explained.

"Unless we make another breakthrough, observing this battle might only be possible from an even higher dimensional perspective," Nietzsche continued.

"If that’s the case, please bother the Director to use the weapon and destroy the Emperor Star..." Zorro waved his hand casually as if he didn’t care.

"Emperor Star, being a massive planet with a diameter of several light-years, can indeed serve as a target... But it’s quite complicated to manipulate the cosmic tides and will take three Cosmic Days..." replied an elder with a long white beard trailing on the floor.

"Then we wait three Cosmic Days."

Zorro said, "It’s not a bad idea to bury the father emperor with the Cosmic Sea’s top five rulers..."

Three Cosmic Days later.

Cancer Galaxy.

Xinsha’s fleet hovered near the vanished Neutron Star.

"Barbaro is dead?"

Xinsha’s face showed disbelief, "Who killed him, could it be Kaya?"

"According to Barbaro’s last transmission, he was killed by an unfamiliar Neutron Immortal... suspected to be a cosmic pirate..."

A subordinate reported.

"Cosmic pirates are like insects, they could emerge from anywhere."

"Those capable of killing Barbaro must be veteran Neutron Star experts, it’s unlikely to be Kaya."

"Never mind, where exactly is Kaya?"

Xinsha had not forgotten her most important mission.

"According to the Intelligence Department, Kaya has reached ’Sky Diamond Star’..."

Another subordinate immediately reported.

The Sixth Prince Zorro had gained the support of many influential figures within the Empire, even the Intelligence Department had directly switched allegiance.

Finding these details was a convenient matter.

"Sky Diamond Star?"

Xinsha quickly saw the description – it was a heavy metal planet, with over 90% made up of gold, platinum, and other metals, including a great number of diamonds.

"What is he doing there?"

Xinsha asked, puzzled.

In the universe, gold and diamonds were not considered very valuable.

Furthermore, as a mineral-rich planet, Sky Diamond Star had long been marked by the Empire and was acquired by the Royal Mining Company.

Theoretically, even the Royal Family shouldn’t interfere.

"Never mind, since we’re close by, set off immediately!"

With a thunderous rumble, a fleet quickly entered a realm of space near Sky Diamond Star.

"We’ve found it..."

Upon seeing Kaya’s spaceship on the scanner, Xinsha’s face lit up with pleasure.

But in the next moment, her beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Emperor Star.

With a deafening boom, two Super Star System Groups collided, the resulting cosmic tide like a torrent, sweeping over the Emperor Star.

The cosmic tide this time was dozens of light-years high, easily submerging Emperor Star.

Vast and inexhaustible rays surged past, causing Emperor Star to continually crack and disintegrate...

Countless subjects of the Empire were reduced to ashes at this moment.

The Quantum Cloud too seemed to be enveloped by the cosmic tide and vanished in an instant...

After the tide receded, all returned to calm.

"The Quantum Cloud has disappeared..."

Seeing this, a flicker of joy rapidly crossed Zorro’s face.

"All energy fluctuations have vanished..."

The director of the Royal Science Academy sighed, "The Emperor... is gone!"

"Immediately inform all the major galaxies of the Empire, announce the passing of the Emperor, and that the Sixth Prince Zorro will ascend the throne!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live Emperor Zorro!"

A crowd cheered.

Suddenly, the jubilant smiles on everyone’s faces became rigid, frozen as if in a series of static tableaus.
