Chapter 583: He's back
She shattered several enemy ships, kicked others away, Xu Shisan was filled with fervor.
She felt she could hardly squeeze out any more strength, but the enemy was still there.
Lai Zhicun was somewhat surprised by the divine might of this mecha and was secretly concerned that if this mecha could be mass-produced, it might be a huge threat to the Star Alliance.
"The Chancellor's determination to expand the Great Star Alliance is unwavering, his ambition to rule the Galaxy even clearer, involving even that grand plan. Those of the High Council, nothing but pompous clowns clothed in gold and silver, but the power represented behind this mecha is truly alarming," Lai Zhicun mused with a hint of dismay.
"However, ultimately it is the power of one person against my legion, you did not submit, but chose to die in battle, perhaps that will make me remember you. Your beauty is not your appearance, but the soul that can pierce through hearts," Lai Zhicun's body swayed slightly, still feeling a bit restless and uneasy at the thought of personally killing the one he was infatuated with.
"Prepare the Singularity Weapon," Lai Zhicun ordered.
His subordinate hesitated, "Legion Commander?"
Lai Zhicun frowned, "Do as I say."
The Singularity Weapon, an unconventional weapon that even Iridium Star had not mastered, capable of creating artificial singularities to engulf everything, eliminating any powerful enemy.
The Divine Monster Mech standing before Sumer Star was already at its limit, no matter how resolute and powerful Xu Shisan was, attracted by the immense mass of that tiny black hole, she would inevitably be crushed. And along with her, Sumer Star would be destroyed.
Lai Zhicun cared nothing for everything on Sumer Star, let Xu Lanzhou die, let Han Jiaxue die, let everything connected to them die.
Although he didn't manage to satisfy Xiao Yu to the utmost, it was still something that allowed him to unload a burden from his mind.
"Everything related to that man will come to a complete end here today," Lai Zhicun resolved in his heart.
Having encountered him a few times and harboring contempt, jealousy, and various other emotions toward him, eighteen years ago in the No Cliff Palace, together with Ji You, he had stood by Xiao Yu's side as they cast the man into the Void to his death. However, since the day of his demise, the man lay like a mountain weighing on his own head.
Even though everything he was connected to had long since dissipated, neither Xiao Yu, Ji You, nor himself had ever truly let go.
Xiao Yu's grandfather awoke in shock, Ji You even developed an addiction to hallucinogenic drugs, and he himself never knew why he always felt so trepidatious.
The fall of a Knight, the vanishing of a peerless beauty, could well be the perfect final stroke to his death—a perfect ending.
The Singularity Weapon was unleashed, a black hole imperceptible to the naked eye had formed, its massive gravitational pull crazily dragged Xu Shisan and the Divine Monster, and even the material of Sumer Star was affected by this king of drawing forces, detaching from the planet and rushing toward the dark spot.
Lai Zhicun and his Ninety-Fifth Legion Fleet had already escaped far away, now spectators witnessing the end of an era, mourning the final chapter of the beautiful Knight.
...
Xu Shisan's vision was no longer clear, she had expended too much, and although unwilling, she had no regrets at this moment.
"Is this the end?" She looked at the black spot rapidly approaching, sighing profoundly.
The moment she closed her eyes, a white mecha appeared between it and the black hole. The instant the two mechas made contact, a collision vibrated, causing Xu Shisan to involuntarily open her eyes.
Seeing the white mecha holding the ice-blue mecha in its arms, observing what seemed to be expressions on the head of the mecha, Xu Shisan suddenly started to shake violently.
"Get out of the way!" Xu Shisan shouted angrily, lacking all the grace and composure of the most beautiful woman in the Wilds of the Galaxy, instead like a little girl whose beloved had been snatched away, lashing out in a tantrum at the person she despised the most.
The person in the mecha was surprised; did this girl have a fried brain, asking him to scram?
But after being away for eighteen years, having finally come back, he was determined not to scram.
He felt the intense pulling force from the black hole, curled his lip, and murmured under his breath, "Such a nuisance. Who tosses a black hole into space like it's garbage? No sense of public morals."
He pulled a small glass bead from his pocket, held it between his index finger and thumb, and flicked it lightly.
The black hole disappeared.
...
A sleek spaceship rapidly descended onto the grounds of the so-called Broken Fang Civilization outpost in the Wilds of the Galaxy, and a round-faced little girl jumped down.
"Mommy!" the little girl shouted as she rushed into the courtyard and threw her arms around the breathtakingly gorgeous woman.
The woman, who should have been extremely excited and emotional, only hugged her daughter gently and never looked down at her. She kept her head raised, looking up at the sky with a bewildered yet thrilled expression.
"You... came back," she said softly.
Lan Xue was delighted to see her mother unharmed, but recalling she had sneaked out, she feared her mother's punishment and quickly changed the subject. "Mom, see how foresighted I was? I went out, brought back an incredibly powerful ally, and saved you and Auntie in an instant. Aren't I super amazing?"
It was then that Han Jiaxue finally looked down, regarding her daughter with a half-smile.
Lan Xue felt uneasy under her mother's gaze; she knew when it came to cunning and wisdom, she was no match for her mother, who could easily outwit her and have her delightfully unaware of being "sold."
"That coward didn't tell you, did he?" Han Jiaxue was certain he knew.
Lan Xue was utterly confused, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Han Jiaxue's smile was devastatingly beautiful, as sweet as the girl she had been more than twenty years ago, "Still the same coward. That's how he was in the past, and he hasn't changed a bit."
Lan Xue's heart sank, "Crap, what's gotten into Mom? She's not losing her mind, is she? I was hoping to set her up with the uncle. Would he still like her if he knew something was wrong with her brain? He probably would, considering how beautiful my mom is."
At that moment, Linyin was also moved to tears. She approached Lan Xue and asked excitedly, "Is this the Chancellor's daughter? Was that the Chancellor just now?"
Lan Xue had no clue about this well-endowed auntie's background and regarded her warily.
From the agile spaceship, yet another stunningly attractive tall woman descended.
"Long time no see, Miss Han, Miss Linyin."
Han Jiaxue looked at her, smiling a smile laden with indiscernibly complex emotions - surprise, jealousy, dissatisfaction, and joy.
"Zero, long time no see."
Linyin, who was usually the last to catch on, had still been unsure if it was Bai Zhongqi until she saw Zero. She burst with excitement and lunged to hug Zero.
"Ah, Zero, I've missed you so much, how did you get so pale?"
