Chapter 1 Withdrawing Troops

With Kavisar's order issued, inside the command room of the ancient legendary-class Star Destroyer, the Nashen, whose entire surface was riddled with damaged holes and scars.

Bai Li's expression tightened as she issued the command.

"Force-start the Nano-Core!"

"Yes!"

The numerous cultists present responded in unison.

In an instant, the damaged ancient legendary-class Star Destroyer, the Nashen, forcibly activated its Nano-Core. A surge of power instantly flowed into every part of the ship, and an astonishing scene unfolded.

The ancient legendary-class Star Destroyer, the Nashen, slowly floated upwards. Countless nano-molecules crazily divided, spreading like a halo over the entire ship's body, instantly repairing the damaged areas.

In the blink of an eye, the scarred ancient-class Star Destroyer, the Nashen, was restored to its original state, as good as new.

At the same time, the Nashen became like a ferocious beast opening its bloody maw. Rows of pitch-black launch ports opened on the massive ship, and a sky full of missiles rained down like a celestial maiden scattering flowers!

Rumble~

Countless infected monsters were instantly engulfed in a fireworks display.

At this moment, the numerous God-Fall cultists who were fighting bitterly saw this scene and exclaimed in shock.

"So terrifying, as expected of an ancient-class Star Destroyer. It actually recovered from heavy damage in an instant, and can launch such terrifying firepower."

"Too strong."

.....

At this time, Kavisar, seeing the Nashen take action, went full throttle, leading that VI-type bug in the opposite direction, then forcibly maneuvering to shake it off.

On the battlefield, the God-Fall cultists who were fighting fiercely also executed Kavisar's order, abandoning the monsters they were fighting and forcibly disengaging, afraid of becoming cannon fodder if they were too late.

Not far away, Enlock, Rulawi, Maihan, Xiao Jie and others who were fighting with monsters received the retreat order, but did not retreat immediately.

Xiao Jie, his expression tense, quickly said, "Lord Enlock, Chief Kavisar and the others are forcing a breakthrough, should we retreat?"

"What's the rush? We'll cover the rear and retreat last."

Enlock's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied calmly.

Xiao Jie's face twitched slightly upon hearing Enlock's words, but he still respectfully replied.

"Yes."

Maihan's expression also darkened. He knew exactly what Enlock wanted to do without even thinking about it. Wasn't it just wanting to take this opportunity to legitimately part ways with Kavisar?

But the problem was that this Negative God Star was so dangerous, really breaking away from the main force might lead to trouble.

.....

Half an hour later, under the cover of the Nashen's powerful firepower.

Many God-Fall cultists successfully broke through. Of course, those who didn't make it out were basically torn to shreds.

Monlik gasped and said to Kavisar.

"Chief, we finally broke through the monster encirclement. If we were surrounded again, we would have all died inside. The monsters here are too terrifying. Even with your wise leadership, we still suffered heavy losses, and many people didn't escape."

"Who didn't escape?"

Kavisar asked coldly.

Monlik was also slightly stunned, then reported, "Felasi, Enlock, Xiao Jie..."

Kavisar's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he listened to the list. He then said, "Let's go, let's go pick them up!"

"Ah, Chief, we finally managed to escape."

Monlik was also extremely shocked, he even doubted whether he had heard correctly.

"Hmph, am I the kind of person who would abandon his comrades? You follow me to do great things, I naturally have to protect you. Don't talk nonsense, go back and bring the people back!"

Kavisar said proudly to Monlik and others.

"Yes."

Monlik came back to his senses and quickly responded.

In the communication channel, many cultists also replied with extreme fervor: "Long live the Chief."

Star Ring City, Port No. 47.

Su Mo dragged a suitcase towards the docked Shadow. From afar, Su Mo saw Sun Duo Xiang sitting cross-legged in front of the ship. In front of him was a table with tea sets and snacks. He was leisurely drinking tea, while browsing his electronic bracelet, humming a tune.

As comfortable as one could be.

Su Mo found it a little funny. This guy really knew how to enjoy himself.

So he walked to Sun Duo Xiang's side and kicked his chair.

Sun Duo Xiang jerked awake, turned his head, saw Su Mo coming over, and quickly got up to make room.

"Boss, you're back so soon, sit, sit."

"You're pretty comfortable."

Su Mo sat down without hesitation.

"Cough cough, no way, I'm supervising the work."

"Supervising what work."

"Isn't there going to be a long voyage? There's a lot to prepare. First, the mecha and ammunition supplies have to be moved onto the ship, right? And a long voyage requires a lot of miscellaneous supplies, I have to keep an eye on it."

Sun Duo Xiang said with a grin.

Hearing this, Su Mo also felt it was funny. He glanced at Kendi, who was busy directing the loading of supplies, and said.

"I believe you, it's obvious Kendi is busy, I just saw you drinking tea and browsing your electronic bracelet."

"Hehe, Boss, you're wronging me. I was just trying to understand the situation. Things are turbulent now, I'm just afraid something might happen."

Sun Duo Xiang deftly poured a cup of tea for Su Mo, and explained with a smile.

"Hasn't it always been unstable? What happened again?"

Su Mo replied unhappily.

"No, this time is different from the past. This time it's clearly against Icarus. Boss, I can tell you haven't been paying attention to the forums, or been to the Grace Square, otherwise you could have seen the spectacle."

"Don't say it, let me see."

Su Mo's heart sank as he interrupted Sun Duo Xiang's words. He opened his electronic bracelet and logged into the Star Ring Forum.

As a result, he found that the previously quiet Star Ring Forum had erupted with countless posts, almost all post titles were in red font.

"We want a way out! Give us a mothership, strongly demand Star Ring City to spit out all motherships and Blue Whales."

"We want a way out....."

……

Su Mo frowned as he looked at these posts demanding ships from Star Ring City.

"The evacuation plans of the countries are not going smoothly?"

Sun Duo Xiang came over at this time, and said to Su Mo: "How can it be smooth? Boss, you also think about how many people there are in each country, how many ships they hold, and not every ship is suitable for long voyages. Now the recognized ships that are suitable for long voyages to find suitable stars, must be a level 4 or higher mothership type or a level 5 Blue Whale, because only these ships are equipped with an ecological cycle system, which can support long-term interstellar voyages, otherwise they will directly die in the Star Sea due to various reasons not long after sailing."

Hearing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much. Sun Duo Xiang's mouth was like a floodgate, talking non-stop.

"The current situation is that there are too few ships that can make long voyages, and too many people want to leave. The situation in the Federation is slightly better, after all, Boss, you contributed so many Blue Whales, and the Federation also adopted a quota system, basically every family can allocate a certain number of places. Therefore, the resistance is slightly less fierce, but other countries are not doing so well, various black box operations, exploitation and unfair things are common. It's simply a chaotic dance of demons, each showing their supernatural powers, how lively."

"Do you think they can get a ship from Star Ring City?"

Su Mo raised his head and looked at Sun Duo Xiang.

"Ah? Get a ship from Icarus? Isn't that daydreaming? You can tell what Icarus's character is with one glance, she will not compromise. I'm telling you, Boss, a super amount of people who can't get on the ship are gathered in Grace Square, protesting non-stop, but they haven't even seen her face."

"Hmm."

Su Mo shook his head slightly. He couldn't give too much comment on this matter.

Sun Duo Xiang then showed a meaningful smile, and said to Su Mo, "Boss, guess what this will evolve into since Lady Icarus is not responding?"

"Evolve into what?"

Su Mo raised his head and looked at Sun Duo Xiang.

"Hehe, take a look at the latest pinned post."

Sun Duo Xiang even kept it a secret.

Su Mo then re-examined the pinned posts on the Star Ring Forum, and was greeted by a striking title.

"Demon City Lord, Icarus!"

Su Mo had glanced at it before, but didn't pay much attention to it, so he clicked in to take a look.

He saw a person named Wandering Cat, angrily accusing.

"We originally lived in a safe universe, although life was very hard, but at least the future was full of hope, and we would not suffer from monster and pollution attacks. But we were bewitched by this demon Icarus, and were summoned here by her using special means to work for her. Now that something has happened, she pats her butt and doesn't care about anything. How can there be so many good things in this world? Everyone unite and find Icarus to get back our justice, she must transfer our home star back to its original location......"

.....

"That's right, we want to return to our original universe."

"We didn't understand anything before, so we were bewitched to come here, now we want to get back our fair rights."

"We must be sent back."

"Send us back."

"We just want to go home, are we wrong?"

......

Su Mo looked at this post, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples, feeling a little headache.

He opened his mouth and asked Sun Duo Xiang.

"What do you think of this matter."

"Isn't this nonsense, although I don't know very well how Star Ring City moved us here in the first place. But one thing is very clear, the cost must be very high. I think Star Ring City is unlikely to spend so much to help us move back."

Sun Duo Xiang thought for a while and expressed his own thoughts.

Su Mo nodded slightly, and said to Sun Duo Xiang: "It seems that you have grown a lot in these years, and your insights have also broadened. I also think their demands are unrealistic, Icarus will definitely not agree and pay attention to it, after all, the cost of sending them back is too high. If I'm not mistaken, Star Ring City was preparing when we chose to participate in the Earth Cup."

In fact, Star Ring City, in its heyday, had no intention of sending the home stars of various countries back, let alone now.

You must know that Star Ring City is severely damaged now, four of the seven rings have been destroyed, leaving only three.

"Boss is wise, in fact, it's none of our business, let them argue, anyway, Icarus won't listen at all."

Sun Duo Xiang praised quickly.

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, a broadcast suddenly sounded in Star Ring City.

"Emergency notice, Star Ring City is about to go to the front line to carry out special missions, so it is entering a special state of war readiness. Star Ring City will dock with the returning City of Glory in half an hour. At that time, all non-combat personnel on Star Ring City must be transferred to the City of Glory within 48 hours, and must not stay on Star Ring City. Personnel who do not obey orders will be forcibly cleared and severely punished."

"Due to the severe conditions on the front line, it is impossible to ensure the safety of property in the surface buildings of Star Ring City, so a special law is implemented. All assets of personnel in Star Ring City will be equally transferred to the City of Glory...."

……

Sun Duo Xiang was a little dumbfounded when he heard the broadcast.

Su Mo was also very surprised. At this time, his electronic bracelet vibrated, and Su Mo looked down at the message.

The content of the message was very simple, all the land that Su Mo bought in the second ring was transferred to the second ring of the City of Glory.

"Moving so fast?"

Su Mo couldn't help but say.

"Boss, is Lady Icarus going to clear the field?"

Sun Duo Xiang also received some information, all the assets he bought in Star Ring City were transferred.

Su Mo slowly stood up, looking at the distant starry sky. He could already see the huge figure of the City of Glory.

"The storm is coming."

To be honest, Su Mo didn't expect Icarus to act so quickly and cleanly.

It is estimated that many people will not be able to accept this sudden change, especially those who are protesting, this is not just ignoring them, but directly slapping them in the face.

Sun Duo Xiang swallowed and asked Su Mo.

"Boss, what is Icarus going to do?"

"I don't know, let's do our own thing, let Kendi and the others move faster."

Su Mo simply instructed.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it now!"

Sun Duo Xiang replied quickly.

......

Not long after, the City of Glory moved to the side of Star Ring City. After a violent shaking, the two behemoths successfully docked.

At this time, the soldiers of the First Legion of Star Ring City, fully armed, began to guard every street, ensuring the smooth transfer of personnel.

The non-combat personnel on Star Ring City began to transfer, they boarded the City of Glory with complicated expressions.

As for those protesters who were unwilling to cooperate.

A name of soldiers with cold eyes appeared in front of them.

"What are you going to do?"

"If you dare to touch me, I'll sue you."

……

"Take them away!"

Those soldiers didn't care so much, and directly drove them away. If they still didn't cooperate, they would directly carry them away.

For a time, the entire Star Ring City was in chaos.

However, the clearing progress was very fast.

......

The next day, early morning.

Inside the Shadow's command room.

Mark, who was in charge of operating, shouted.

"Boss, everything is ready, we can leave."

Su Mo didn't hesitate at all, and issued the order.

"Let's go!"

"Okay!"

Mark replied immediately.

Soon the Shadow slowly rose into the air, and then drove out of Star Ring City. Su Mo walked to the observation deck, watching the City of Glory and Star Ring City getting further and further away.

For some reason, he felt a sadness and emotion that he couldn't describe.

More than an hour later.

The Shadow drove to the designated Starry Sky coordinates. Looking ahead, he saw the ancient legendary-class Star Destroyer, Shadow of Calamity, at a glance. In addition, he didn't see any ships.

Sun Duo Xiang reported immediately.

"Arrived at the coordinates area, received a special communication request."

"Connect!"

Su Mo's expression tightened, and he immediately issued the order.

Soon the old man's aged face appeared, his cloudy eyes staring at Su Mo.

"Master, we are here."

Su Mo replied very solemnly.

The old man said hoarsely: "Move the mecha, supplies, and personnel to the Shadow of Calamity, let people drive the ship back, hurry up!"

Su Mo was slightly stunned, and then immediately responded: "Yes!"

The old man then cut off the video communication.

Sun Duo Xiang and others looked at Su Mo with a blank expression, and then asked: "Boss, are we really moving?"

"Move, move quickly."

Su Mo replied simply and neatly.

Kendi on the side replied without saying a word: "Understood, move the ship over."

"Okay, okay....."

Mark replied quickly.

In the starry sky, the Shadow slowly approached the Shadow of Calamity, and the two docked.

Su Mo brought a total of 10,000 people this time, of which 1,000 people were Kendi's subordinates, and the remaining 9,000 people were all Sun Duo Xiang's people.

In terms of high-end mecha, there were 5 Apostles of God, 50 Divine Guards - Modified, 300 Divine Guards, and the rest were mainly Night Guards.

In terms of supplies, the main ones were level 6 energy crystals, as well as various maintenance parts, compressed nutrient bar liquids, medicines, etc.

Therefore, the relocation would take a little time more or less.

However, Su Mo handed over these things to the people below. He took Sun Duo Xiang, Kendi, Mark and other core personnel, and went straight to the Shadow of Calamity first.

After Sun Duo Xiang and others boarded the ship, their eyes lit up when they looked at the internal structure of the Shadow of Calamity.

They originally thought that the Blade of Immortality was very advanced, but they didn't expect that the inside of this Shadow of Calamity was even more advanced. The metal-cast walls, whether it was the luster or the texture when touched, were top-notch.

And the internal gate facilities and electronic equipment were very advanced.

As soon as Su Mo and the others boarded the ship, they were identified by several rounds of hidden identification scanning instruments.

Of course, if there was anything that was not very good, it was the old man's fierce-looking subordinates, each of them looking at Su Mo and others with unfriendly eyes.

Sun Duo Xiang was very uncomfortable being looked at by them, and couldn't help but say to Su Mo.

"Boss, why are these people so hostile to us?"

"It's not just hostility, these people all have a very strong bloody smell, they are not good people."

Kendi replied somewhat棘手.

"Don't worry about them, they are just like that. By the way, I have something to tell you, don't start conflicts if nothing happens."

Su Mo thought for a while, and told them.

"Are we the kind of people who cause trouble? But what if they bully us?"

Sun Duo Xiang asked very slyly.

"Then there's nothing to say, fight back if you should, I'll take care of everything."

Su Mo didn't intend to indulge the other side, after all, he knew very well what kind of virtue the old man's subordinates were.

At this time, Anasen the butler appeared in front of Su Mo, and he saluted Su Mo gracefully.

"Lord Su Mo."

"Mr. Anasen."

Su Mo replied politely.

"The Lord has specially instructed, let you go to the command room to see him first, as for your subordinates, you don't have to worry, I will arrange it."

Anasen conveyed the order in an orderly manner.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Sun Duo Xiang, you listen to Mr. Anasen's arrangements."

Su Mo had a very good impression of Anasen.

"Okay!"

Sun Duo Xiang and others replied one after another.

Anasen then made a please gesture to Su Mo, and Su Mo walked towards the command room alone.

A moment later, Su Mo came to the door of the command room. Just as he was about to enter, the metal door opened, and Kelei Te walked out.

The two's eyes fell on each other, but neither of them greeted each other, they just passed by each other.

Then Su Mo entered the command room, and he went straight to the old man sitting in the command chair, and he walked over.

When Su Mo approached, before he could speak, the old man waved his hand and summoned a virtual interface, and said hoarsely.

"Put your hand on it."

Su Mo didn't think much about it, and put his hand on the virtual interface.

"Identity verification in progress."

"Verification successful, permission binding."

"Binding successful, permission is: Vice Captain!"

.....

Standing aside, Kartuler, looked at the permission level that Su Mo was bound to, his facial muscles twitched fiercely, as if he was very unconvinced. Of course, he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction in front of the old man.

The old man saw that Su Mo's permission binding was completed, and slowly stood up.

"Follow me."

"Okay!"

Su Mo replied immediately.

The old man walked straight to the back right, and saw a special small passage opening in the metal wall at the back right.

After the two walked in, the passage door closed again.

"Are you wondering what I called you here for?"

"A little, but I can probably guess a little bit, Master, did you find anything from the stone slab?"

"Not too stupid, but I won't tell you for now what I found and what I want to do. You will naturally know then, you just need to follow me."

The old man replied hoarsely along the way, with his hands behind his back.

"Okay."

Su Mo replied immediately.

"But you better be mentally prepared, the Zero Star Territory we are going to this time is not a good place either."

The old man explained lightly.

"Is it also dangerous there? More dangerous than the Negative Universe?"

Su Mo's heart also jumped suddenly.

"That's a very strange place, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's more dangerous than the Negative Universe, but it's also safe to say that it's safe."

The old man replied expressionlessly.

"Then what kind of universe is it."

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't help but show a wry smile, and he said to the old man.

"You'll know when you get there."

"But Master, in my current state, let alone fighting. I'm panting even if I run a few more steps, will I be dragging you down."

"Don't worry, I already have arrangements."

The old man replied coldly.

Seeing that the old man had said so, Su Mo didn't say anything more.

Not long after, the old man led Su Mo around and around, to a special secret room.

The huge secret room was empty, there was nothing, only cold metal walls.

Su Mo asked curiously: "Master, what did you bring me here for?"

"You'll know in a while."

The old man stretched out his hand and pressed it on a metal wall.

Click!

The front metal wall suddenly cracked, exposing transparent isolation glass.

Inside the center, there was a writhing body made up of countless disgusting fleshy tumors, and a monster with countless twisted souls struggling madly was revealed.

The whole monster's body was constantly emitting terrifying negative energy pollution, and it was constantly dividing into tentacles.

But as soon as those tentacles were divided out, the special restraint device in the isolation room was activated, releasing special black lightning.

The tentacles were electrocuted into charcoal.

At that time, the twisted monster couldn't help but let out a painful wail, and shrank back.

"Little Devourer!"

Su Mo suddenly approached the isolation glass and shouted in shock.

At this time, the Little Devourer who was bound in the isolation room, seemed to be touched, and instantly rioted!

A terrifying aura overflowed.

Su Mo couldn't help but take a step back in horror, even through the transparent isolation glass.

At this time, those restraint devices were constantly flashing black lightning, and in an instant released terrifying black lightning that bombarded the Creator Devourer's body.

Directly suppressing the rioting Creator Devourer.

Su Mo immediately turned his head and looked at the old man and asked.

"What's going on?"
