Li Qianxia and Itheri nodded. Bi was checking the firearms — she found a powerful sniper rifle, whereas Xiao Luo Bo...
"Can I not go?" she asked Li Changzhou.
"No."
Xiao Luo Bo turned to Yang Qinglan, "Mommy..."
"No," Yang Qinglan cut her off before she could finish.
Itheri looked at Yang Qinglan, her gaze drifting downwards. What kind of technology allowed her to give birth to the palm-sized Xiao Luo Bo? A genetic mutation?
"Captain, and... the two ladies," Hou Hou didn't know how to address Yang Qinglan and Turquoise Pool, both seeming formidable (implying that Li Qianxia was easy to deal with), "You'll have the freedom to act as you wish. You can help us or the hackers. The main mission is to eliminate the 'warriors' of Konglu Star."
"Mhm," Li Changzhou nodded.
"One more thing," Hou Hou reminded, "You can't kill Konglu. Removing an Artificial Constant Star isn't a big deal, but if you kill a legitimate Star Lord, even the IAO will face legal consequences."
This was something they didn't need to be reminded of.
There are countless planets with stars in the universe, so why did Konglu spend a fortune to buy an Artificial Constant Star instead of finding a planet with a star and reforming it?
Simply put, without recognition from the Divine Will Great Wall, no one has the right to occupy a planet, which means, in other words, that anyone can capture it.
In the past, such events would often occur: wandering civilizations or wealthy people would painstakingly transform a planet into a habitable world, only to have it looted by cosmic pirates or taken over by more powerful forces.
Although Konglu Star has no Constant Star, it is recognized and protected by the Divine Will Great Wall.
Konglu is a legitimate Star Lord. Any violation against Konglu Star would be seen as a provocation against the Divine Will Great Wall.
Of course, law is relative.
Compared with Konglu Star, the IAO is clearly more representative of the law. Moreover, they haven't made a move themselves yet, which is very respectful of the law.
As long as they don't kill Konglu, at most, the Changzhou will be wanted for a while, and then when the public forgets, the IAO will help clear up relationships and lift the warrant.
This would suffice to satisfy those who believe in the law, after all, who asked Konglu to offend the 'Instant Gap' clan — everyone default assumes the 'Instant Gap' clan to be privileged nobility.
Turquoise Pool turned to Si, smiling, "What do you plan to do?"
Si didn't know what to do either. Directly persuading Konglu Star to surrender was impossible, and helping Konglu Star wouldn't defeat Li Changzhou and the others.
If her two friends hadn't died and been replaced by Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia, she would have been able to fight against Li Changzhou, Turquoise Pool, and Bi.
Yang Qinglan gave her a glance and said, "We will plunge Konglu Star into the greatest fear, and then you come out to act as the god of reconciliation, allowing us to peacefully take away the Constant Star."
The three-meter-tall female attendant nodded, quite pleased with the title of 'god of reconciliation'.
"Peaceful?" Si scoffed.
"You can refuse," Li Changzhou wouldn't allow anyone to mock Miss Yang.
"Watch your tone, Cosmic Person!" the three-meter-tall female attendant warned.
"I am very mindful, so you better be careful as well," Li Changzhou thought about teaching her a lesson to prevent her from offending people who weren't as easy to speak with in the future.
"Enough," Yang Qinglan interrupted them, "You can argue all you want after the mission, but for now, let's get moving."
The Dinosaur Head Warriors, Itheri, Luo Lei, Hou Hou, and Da Yi left the bridge, donning their weapons and armor.
From a cosmic perspective, Konglu Star appeared gray-brown, dotted only with sparse deep green.
The hollow Artificial Constant Star orbited around Konglu Star like a satellite.
At that moment, a burst of white light flashed above the terminator of Konglu Star.
Changzhou, Princess, and Si's ships, three massive space vessels, appeared suddenly and slowly advanced toward Konglu Star.
◇
"They're here!"
The moment the alarm sounded, Konglu received the message.
He spread his five legs, his encircling ten eyes blinking rapidly, his twelve mechanical tentacles waving uncontrollably.
Konglu stepped out of his room to find a dense array of mechanical troops, most similar to him, and hundreds of towering behemoths, including several hundred-meter-tall mechanical monsters.
The first Konglu, thanks to his exquisite modification skills, received the grace of the supremely noble 'KOI·3 Instant Gap' and was able to become a Star Lord. Although the current Konglu was a noble indulged in pleasures, he hadn't lost the technology.
"Your Excellency, I still think we should organize a counterattack at the 'Lagrange Point' instead of making the battlefield on the planet itself," a furry alien said.
"Enough," 'Deputy Butcher' disdained, "You've pulled together mining machines for combat. Do you still want to spread out your firepower? If you're so eager to die, why not just pull the plug yourself?"
"We are not—"
"Shut up!" the Butcher looked up at the sky.
Konglu raised his head, all the machines raised their heads, and all life on Konglu Star raised their heads as the three fleets broke through the atmosphere and slowly, unavoidably, invaded their view.
The world was silent, not even the Butcher spoke.
"What will the first attack be?" Konglu did not order to open fire.
If he attacked first, regardless of the outcome, it would be disadvantageous for him.
"It might be missiles," an alien who looked completely human but had two wings said, "The flying troops are in place. They can carry out saturation interception at any time, not allowing a single missile to land."
Konglu nodded, about to offer praise—
"What if it's this thing?" The butcher's laughter was teasing, shocking, carrying emotions that were not part of the plan.
Everyone looked, feeling a wave of suffocation.
Boom!!!!
The atmosphere of Konglu Star trembled as a gigantic meteorite, with an unstoppable force, pierced the sky, trailed by a long tail of flames.
"Impossible!" Konglu roared, unable to believe, "All the debris around here has been blasted away or mined, where did this meteorite come from!"
Boom! Boom!
The meteorite, like a ball of fire, split in the sky, turning into two slightly smaller meteorites.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two meteorites continued to split, becoming four.
If they continued to split, these meteorites would vaporize due to the high temperature before hitting the Earth, causing no damage to the planet.
But would they? Would the enemy bring meteorites only to have them vaporize midway? What a joke!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Splitting continued.
The sky was filled with fireballs, like the stars Konglu Star longed for but could not have, carrying the breath of destruction as they fell from the heavens.
"Intercept! Intercept immediately!" Konglu ordered.
Anyone with a bit of sense knew the horror of 'exponential growth.'
Boom!
Equally dense fighter jets took to the sky, their powerful barrages crisscrossing in the air, shattering the fireballs.
"Star Lord, shall we counterattack?" asked the Angel, raising their voice.
All around was the sound of explosions, and the gravel on the ground trembled.
Counterattack? These are all meteorites! Those three spaceships haven't budged! Not even their cannons have lit up!
The meteorite interception lasted a mere eight seconds, the sky filled with dust, and tendrils of black smoke swirled like spilled ink.
Konglu exhaled, the meteorites were gone, now it was surely time for battle...
...Boom!!!!
Another larger meteorite, with a roar, entered the atmosphere, its fiery glow flickering in the eyes of every person who looked up.
"Intercept!" Konglu ordered coldly, continuing to command.
Fighter jets roared, not waiting for the meteorite to split, enveloped the uninvited guest like a Dyson sphere, unleashing a barrage of firepower.
Boom!!!
Before one meteorite shattered, another, dragging flames like the straight body of a fire snake, a flame dragon, roared through the clouds.
"Send another team up!"
Boom!!!
"Third team!"
Boom!!!
"Fourth team!"
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
"Ground interception units, fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Meteorites one after another, missile after missile for interception.
The whole sky was filled with firelight, the sky as if caught in a great conflagration, the world was collapsing, and those three spaceships stood firmly amidst the sea of fire, like the eyes of flames, coldly and heartlessly watching over Konglu Star.
Meanwhile, in the cosmos, on a small planetoid rolled over by Li Changzhou, a black Divine Will nearly a kilometer high grasped a huge rock from the ground.
With accumulating strength, soil and rocks rose from the earth, floating around the black Divine Will—
He hurled with all his might!
Under this tremendous throw, under this terrifying strength, the massive rock, like a javelin, pierced through everything, traveling through the darkness of space at lightning speed, intending to root itself into Konglu Star.
Boom!!
The rock boomed into the atmosphere, instantly making an explosion-like sound.
At that moment, the black Divine Will already had a third stone in hand—the second one was already on its way.
The light of the meteorites fell on the faces of every Konglu Star warrior.
Their faces felt searing hot, but the chill spread inside their bodies, fear piercing their hearts like a knife.
