The people are collapsing, and the identities of the Star Scourge are exposed! - Chapter 63
The scorching plasma flames burned in the Yonghuo Mansion.
The four descendants of the Underworld Fire Duke fell crookedly in the rubble. The plasma bodies were also burned by the scorching flames.
The Underworld Fire Duke also fell from the throne, leaning on the stairs, holding his chest and looking at the woman in front of him.————
A pair of ferocious horns were looming between the woman’s lava-like red hair.
On her back hung wings like ribbons, and in her eyes were fiery sparks.
She did not look strong, but the Underworld Fire Grand Duke had seen how much terrifying power was hidden under this seemingly slender body.
She descended from the stars, and the ribbon-like wings of light behind her burst out with fiery scarlet thunder, which penetrated the entire defense of the Everfire Mansion in the blink of an eye. Before the
Underworld Fire Grand Duke could react, she was already standing in front of him.
His four children wanted to protect themselves, but they were defeated in the blink of an eye.
What a terrifying power!…
Her humanoid appearance seems to be just a disguise.
Her true form may be a fiery dragon that hovers above the stars, a beast that can tear apart ships with its wings……..
“…….”
Duke Hellfire sighed deeply…….
“…….It turns out that the outcome has already been decided.”
The red-haired woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the Duke of Hellfire with interest, her eyes falling on the crown of ash on his head.
“This is interesting.”
She reached out and grabbed the crown between the horns of the Great Duke of Hellfire, the crown made from the ashes of the planet destroyed by the benefactor Nanook.
The Great Duke of Hellfire did not stop
“Aren’t you going to stop me, little goat?” the red-haired woman asked, playing with the crown.
“Prevent…..How can the bloody path of destruction be stopped?……”
Lord Hellfire, who was leaning on the steps, chuckled:
“Dragon, you have never known the magnificence of destruction, so how can you understand the truth we have implemented?”
“We came from fire, were born from fire, spread, burn, and destroy until the firewood is burned out, leaving only ashes.”
“This is the life I have been waiting for, burning and then dying, living towards death, a profile of the truth of the universe…..Everything is born to be destroyed”
“Ha ha……”
The red-haired woman smiled softly as if she had heard a funny joke.
She looked at Grand Duke Hellfire with a very interesting look, as if she was looking at a short-sighted dog, as if she was mocking Grand Duke Hellfire’s nonsense.
“Are you worthy to talk about destruction?”
“Young children lit wildfires and burned woodpile, thinking it was the greatest destruction in the world.”
“When the sky-burning flames descend, he will realize that what he thought was destruction was just a small disaster caused by a child.
The red-haired woman smiled contemptuously:
“Have you ever seen the Burning Sky Weapon hanging high above the stars, turning the galaxy into a blazing sea of fire and the sun into a pitch-black abyss?”
“Have you ever seen the spectacle of a nano plague sweeping across the galaxy, eating the stars, dismantling everything into dust, and turning everything into gray wind?”
“Have you ever seen an etheric engine? It can extract all the energy from the void and build a ladder to ascend to a higher place. The recoil alone can shatter the stars in the infinite universe into black holes?”
Listening to the story of the red-haired woman, the Duke of Hellfire suddenly raised his head, and the sparks in his eyes burned even more.
The wonders of destruction in the red-haired woman’s mouth made the Duke of Hellfire yearn for it. Even his benefactor Nanook had never reached such destruction, but in the words of the red-haired woman, the Duke of Hellfire could not feel a trace of falsehood. The other party had indeed seen such a shocking destruction…….
Maybe even participated in the creation of that destruction…….
“Tell me, what kind of beautiful scenery is that?” Duke
Minghuo couldn’t help but ask.
——————
A scarlet lightning pierced his chest, and the red-haired woman’s wings shook slightly two or three times.
“Stupid, why should I tell you?”
Duke Minghuo’s eyes widened, with infinite regret in his eyes, and his head tilted…..died
“This is dead…….”
Nephiana scratched her head:
“”Fuck, my mission is now complete, is it time to return?”
Nephiana scratched her dragon horn in frustration.
“Really, I actually chose to die…..Please run a little bit…….”
Nephiana seemed to be deflated as she sat on the steps of the Eternal Fire Residence.
She had originally wanted to hunt down the little goat called Duke Hellfire and travel the universe.
She had even prayed to the Emperor to ask if she could do so.
His Majesty agreed, but the little goat actually chose to die bravely……
“Ahh…
“There is no other way. The atmosphere has come to this point. It would not be good if I did not kill him.”
“Why…..I can only return……..”
“Hey!”
Nephiana’s ears moved, and she stood up suddenly.
She followed the slight sound coming from her ears and walked to the throne of the Grand Duke of Hellfire.
On the small table behind the throne, she found a…….
“Music box?”
Nephiana poked the exquisite music box in front of her with interest and turned the gears behind it.
“The dream star Pinocchio invites you to attend the Harmony Festival, a grand event held once every Amber Era! Come here to find the true meaning of dreams!”
“Those who are eager to explore, come here to find the clock that never stops pointing to the distance!”
“Those who are thirsty for hunting, come here to find the justice hidden beneath the decadence and glamour!”
“Those who yearn for pure beauty, come here to find the mirror reflecting beauty in the dream world!”
“Those who thirst for protection, come here to seek the wealth that the Amber King should bless!”、
“Those who thirst for destruction, come here to seek the flames that burn everything!”
“…….”
The moving harmony sounded quietly, but Nephiana noticed that there was something incongruous in the music.
She fiddled with the music box with interest and sent the audio to the private research AI.
After a while, the decoding result of the audio appeared.
“See the impossible things in dreams, find the legacy of the watchmaker’s father, Pinocchio, and then answer: Why does life fall asleep?”
“Huh? Interesting…….Why does life fall asleep?”
“Because you didn’t get enough sleep last night?”
Nephiana raised her eyebrows and stuffed the music box into her arms.
“Since it is an invitation letter, can I use it after I kill the little goat?”
“That star of the festival, it seems interesting.”
Nephiana rubbed her horns, with an interested smile on her face:
“I kind of want to go there.”
“Well, but we have to return……”
“Hmm?”
Nephiana raised her eyebrows slightly. She heard footsteps.
“…….Huh?”
She turned her head and saw a purple-haired woman with a katana hanging on her waist, standing in the flames.
“Hello.” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The purple-haired woman slowly raised her scarlet eyes and met Nephiana’s gaze.
“I’m a little lost, but this is the Hellfire Residence…..Right?”
“Have you seen a music box?”
The purple-haired woman paused.
“Could it be that you are…..dragon?”[]
The purple-haired woman’s eyes reflected the scene in the light curtain. It was the ether dragon hovering in the fiery galaxy.
“Contract slaves? A global giant? Hahahahahaha!”
Shajin seemed to have heard a huge joke, and couldn’t help laughing on the sofa while holding his stomach.
“Hey, hey, hey, Latio, did you see that? This is like a mockery of the company.”
“Hahahaha, I didn’t expect that even in a world outside the known universe, the company’s tricks can still work!”
Doctor Zhenli, who was sitting in front of Shajin and drinking black tea, laughed.
“Really? I think Universal Corporation is much better than the company.”
“At least they do not conceal their pursuit of profit and wealth, and the company……Hehehe”
“The company claims to be serving interstellar peace and acting for preservation, but what it does is really questionable.”
“Oh, Ladio, don’t let some conservation fanatics hear what you said.” Shajin laughed, put down the teacup in his hand and said
“Besides, aren’t we all doing the same thing in the end?”
“Exploiting employees and squeezing their labor, even if they die on the job, they only give a few words of comfort and a very small pension……Oh, employees at too low a level don’t even get pensions.”
“Hehe.” Doctor Zhenli sneered:”Aren’t you also a part of the company system?”
“At least I’m not the bad kind…….”Shajin scratched his hair and said,”Or do you want to go to Pinocchio with Opal?”
“That’s not necessary.”
Doctor Zhenli snorted and looked at the light curtain:
“I suggest that everyone in the company take a closer look at how the world’s largest companies operate.”
“Learn advanced experience?” Sha Jin asked curiously.
“If the Scourge Empire attacks us, at least we will know how to live after surrendering.”
Doctor Zhenli smiled.
“If they accept surrender.”
Listening to Doctor Truth’s words, Shajin couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Then you have to study hard.”
Saying this, Shajin looked at the light curtain.
On the light curtain, the alien contract slaves belonging to the Universal Corporation, a subsidiary of the Scourge Empire, were trembling and driving civilian ships closer and closer to the Ether Dragon.
These ships were equipped with a large number of scientific research equipment, and they were obviously investigating the situation of the Ether Dragon.
【”Colleagues, keep working hard!……”】
The leading indentured slave said to his companions:
【”As long as we finish this job, most of our debt will be paid off.”】
【”Yes, I only need to pay the Universal Corporation for the work clothes and work ships, plus the interest of this loan, and I can repay most of the principal.”】
【”After I pay off this debt, I will go back to my hometown and get married!”】
【”Let me show you, this is my fiancée. We agreed that I would come home and get married after I paid off the debt of the giant company.”】
The atmosphere on the ship became lively for a while.
The indentured slaves from different planets and species worked more efficiently.
【”Hey, hey, hey, raccoon over there, be careful, don’t damage the boat, or we’ll have to pay the global giant.”】
“I am the team leader of Interstellar Peace Company. I beg the light screen to stop broadcasting. I have been broken.”
“The mecha I drive is the company’s property. If it is damaged, I need to pay for it at my own expense, even if it is damaged during work.”
“I’m broken, I really am.”
“I too have worked in the company for more than ten years, and I can only rent a one-bedroom apartment on the corporate ship.”
“I have been working here for six years and I am still living in a dormitory.”
Looking at the scene on the light screen, countless employees of Interstellar Peace Company’s corporate ships all over the universe have broken their defenses.
If the scene played on the light screen before was indeed a hell of deep water and fire, the aliens were treated extremely cruelly at the hands of the Scourge Empire.
However, seeing that in the giant enterprises of the universe, the employees of many companies in the universe have broken their defenses, it turns out that they have been living in a similar hell without the arrival of the Scourge Empire. Doctor Truth smiled as he watched this scene:”What? Aren’t you afraid that your employees will go on strike out of anxiety?”
Shajin raised his eyes and glanced at Doctor Truth:”My employees are the best treated in the Strategic Investment Department.”
“I am not stingy with their bonuses and dividends.”
As he spoke, Shajin looked at the intelligent AI secretary beside him, waved his hand and said:
“This month, we will give three months’ salary as bonus to employees above level P25”
“For P20 and above, it will be two months, and for those below it, it will be one month.”
“Just say yes……Celebrating our victory in Pinocchio in advance”
“Oh, and tell them that they are the best employees in the Pinocchio business…….I will give you four additional bonds of faith.”
Said Sha Jin, waving his hand at Doctor Zhenli.
“How about it? Latio, are you interested in working for me? Hmm?”
At this point, Shajin’s phone suddenly rang.
Shajin picked it up and frowned at the message on it.
“Opal’s employees asked for the lunch time to be increased from fifteen minutes to twenty minutes?”
“How did Opal deal with it?” Doctor Zhenli asked, holding up his face.
“He sent out new recruitment letters, and all the original employees were…..Damn lunatic.”
Shajin shook his head:
“He said the company doesn’t need disloyal employees”
“Hehe.” Doctor Zhenli sneered, not surprisingly:”It’s better to say that this is your actual situation.”
“You, Topa, Emerald…..It’s not that bad inside.”
Doctor Zhenli said with a smile on his face:
“It’s not hard to accept working with you.”
“”Haha, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
As he spoke, Shajin propped up his face and looked at the scene above the light curtain.
He saw the contract slaves on the light curtain having a brief quarrel.
【”Don’t come any closer……We have collected a lot of data.”】
【”If we get any closer, we might not make it back alive.”】
【”Don’t be silly. We haven’t met our KPI yet. The little compensation we received is not enough to offset the cost of the research vessel, let alone pay off the debt.”】
The argument only lasted a moment.
The Universal Corporation did not require them to go deep enough, but they did not collect enough data and achieve enough KPIs. The rewards they received were not even enough to pay for the research ship.
They could only choose to move forward at risk and get closer to the Ether Dragon……..
The ether dragon in the depths of the galaxy slowly opened its eyes.
