Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Declaring Oneself King

In a certain location of the Star Zone Universe.

In the dim starry sky, an oval sphere of light is flying at high speed.

The sphere, about two and a half meters high, is surrounded by extremely high electric current energy, occasionally sparking arcs of electricity and leaving a narrow trail of photoelectricity in the starry sky as it flies.

Inside the sphere is a living creature, dressed in a special suit, wearing a transparent helmet, surrounded by terrifying electric currents that surge turbulently, yet unable to damage this special suit, indicating the high technological content of the suit.

This is the Electromagnetic Suit — the 2000th generation — developed by the Electromagnetic Civilization with all their might.

The wearer of this Electromagnetic Suit is of course an Electromagnetic Star Person, his name is Fei Yu, a true Electromagnetic Super Man of the Electromagnetic Civilization.

Since childhood, Fei Yu underwent brutal training; each of his scales can release up to a hundred volts of electricity, and with a total of ten thousand scales across his body, he can release up to a million volts, rivaling lightning, much higher than ordinary Electromagnetic Star People!

However, unfortunately, even supermen have their troubles.

Fei Yu has many troubles.

Among his many troubles, the one that worries him most is that his strength is still not strong enough.

This trouble has only emerged recently, but once it did, it spread uncontrollably like a flood.

In fact, he never used to have this trouble, as he always believed he was strong, being one of the few supermen in the Electromagnetic Civilization. However, during an assault on a civilization alliance called the Wandering Alliance, their hundreds of billions of Electromagnetic Star People were defeated, and even their Planet Flying Devices were destroyed.

This is why he can now only rely on his own flight, even though it is somewhat tiring, but he has no choice.

"I admit, that Wandering Alliance is strong, truly deserving of being a Level 4 Civilization. But our Electromagnetic Civilization is also a Level 4 Civilization, and I am a superman within the Electromagnetic Civilization. Since the heavens allowed me to survive, that means I must have a significant mission. Now I understand what that mission is. Just wait, Wandering Alliance, I am not strong enough now, but one day, I will become powerful enough to defeat you and personally reclaim the dignity we lost!"

Looking ahead at the pitch-black starry space, Fei Yu’s gaze was filled with determination!

He felt that the defeat to the Wandering Alliance was not because the Wandering Alliance was more united, but because his strength was not yet sufficient.

This is a typical mindset of individual heroism, not just with Fei Yu, but almost all Electromagnetic Star People think this way, as they had already mobilized hundreds of billions of Electromagnetic Star People, which in their view was already a symbol of unity, yet they still lost, so they naturally attributed the cause of defeat to individual strength.

However, the truth is, even though they deployed hundreds of billions of Electromagnetic Star People, their methods of utilization were very primitive, one could say that these hundreds of billions still acted independently, not exerting their collective strength. Because unity is not just about gathering people together but twisting them into one single strong rope. Their method of unity compared to the real thing, fell short by miles (gai).

Unfortunately, once a stereotype is formed, it is very difficult for the person involved to change their mindset.

As the saying goes, the insider is lost, the bystander sees it clear.

"An ultrafast flying planet with signs of biological activity detected ahead!"

Just at this moment, Fei Yu spotted a dimly lit planet a light-year away. Without a second thought, he increased the thruster’s power to its maximum. In an instant, the electric current energy flowing through his body surged more than fivefold, and his speed instantaneously surpassed the speed of light, eventually reaching three times the speed of light.

At this triple light speed, he quickly approached the planet ahead.

The planet was a Planet-level Celestial Civilization that had also birthed a biological civilization, classified as a Level 2 Civilization technologically, and had just begun to apply Annihilation Technology across its entire society.

At this moment, the scientists of the Pioneer Civilization also detected the rapidly approaching Electromagnetic Star Person, Fei Yu. However, the Pioneer Civilization was unaware of Fei Yu’s origins. From his appearance, enveloped in electric current energy and moving faster than light, he seemed not merely some flying device but more like a superhuman surpassing ordinary beings!

As the Pioneer Civilization had also detected the crisis of the Universe’s halted expansion, they had consulted with Pioneer Star, which is part of the life consortium, and decided to seek refuge towards the Cosmic Center, which is why they were found alone drifting in space. They understood that with the Cosmic Crisis imminent, peaceful coexistence between Cosmic Civilizations was impossible; there would only be slaughter and plundering. Therefore, seeing the strange luminous entity approaching, their initial response was to deploy the Cosmic Battleship early to eliminate the luminous entity.

On the other side, as Fei Yu drew increasingly closer, he soon entered a distance of one astronomical unit.

At this time, he had entered the weapon range of the Pioneer Civilization, and the Cosmic Battleships of the Pioneer Civilization decisively opened fire.

A barrage of Annihilation Cannons and electromagnetic guns, each kilometers thick, madly poured towards Fei Yu. However, these Energy Weapons only reached the speed of light at their fastest, while Fei Yu was moving at three times the speed of light. With his nimble and small form, he managed to fully evade these energy attacks with just a few shifts and drifts. Then, Fei Yu impassively fired two Unified Power Beams, directly hitting two of the Pioneer Civilization’s Cosmic Battleships and instantly turning them into raging fireballs!

However, the Pioneer Civilization didn’t back down; more Cosmic Battleships swept out majestically from the Space Port, joining the battle for the civilization’s survival. Even the Pioneer Star, being a Celestial Civilization, was forced into the fray, attempting to pull Fei Yu using Gravity.

Unfortunately, the Pioneer Star, being only a Planet-level Celestial Civilization, had limited means of attack. Relying solely on the force of Planet Gravity could not affect Fei Yu, who was engaging in superluminal flight. Additionally, the Pioneer Civilization being only a Level 2 Civilization, their weapons were limited in power. Even if all battleships fired at once, cornering Fei Yu into a tight spot, Fei Yu promptly activated his Space Energy Shield. Hundreds of Annihilation Beams striking the Space Shield did not even create a single crack, let alone harm Fei Yu. After all, the protective shield of the Electromagnetic Suit was based on the Unified Force Technology of a Level 4 Civilization, whereas the Annihilation Beam was merely a Level 2 Civilization technology, not just far behind in scientific energy level but also drastically lacking in power.

Thus, the outcome of this war held almost no suspense.

If one were to speak of any suspense, it would be how long could a Level 2 Civilization, the Pioneer Civilization, hold out?

In the end, it only took one day for Fei Yu to eliminate more than eighty of the Pioneer Civilization’s Cosmic Battleships.

However, seeing the dire situation, both Pioneer Star and the Pioneer Civilization allowed their Cosmic Battleships to buy time while they fled first. By the time Fei Yu had dealt with all the battleships, the Pioneer Civilization had already fled the scene.

But Fei Yu was not concerned, as he increased his flight speed to the maximum, chasing in the direction the Pioneer Civilization had escaped. Since his speed was about six times that of the Pioneer Civilization and given they had only a day to flee, they hadn’t actually gotten far and were quickly overtaken by the pursuing Fei Yu.

Boom!

At this time, the Pioneer Civilization had no power left to retaliate, and Fei Yu, without much fuss, directly flew outside the atmosphere, activated the Unified Power Beams on both hands, and began an extinction strike surrounding Pioneer Star. After Fei Yu completed a rotation, the entire Pioneer Star plunged into a sea of flames, turning into a fiery orb; all its topography and oceans were completely destroyed, and the Pioneer Civilization was utterly annihilated.

Subsequently, Fei Yu removed the now-empty Celestial Body Capture Device from the outer side of his left thigh, ignoring the pleas of Pioneer Star, forcibly captured Pioneer Star using the Celestial Body Capture Device, and completely converted Pioneer Star into energy stored within the device as a reserve for his continued flight in the Universe.

"After all, returning to the Electromagnetic Civilization means nothing but subordinate to Constant Star and Mother Star, yet my capabilities exceed far beyond a mere third-hand level. Now that I possess enough energy and can easily handle civilizations below Level 4, I simply won’t return. In such troubled times, I believe they won’t have the capacity to bother about me. It might be better to conquer a Level 3 Civilization, to become a leader of a Level 3 Civilization. As the saying goes, it’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. I can have a Level 3 Civilization aid in my genetic research; frankly, the biotechnology of a Level 3 Civilization isn’t poor and should meet my requirements. This is the only way for me to grow stronger, only by enhancing my genes can I break through my limits!"

After annihilating the Pioneer Civilization, Fei Yu’s confidence and ambition began to swell rapidly.
