Galaxy Domination Guide

Zero wanted to stop Bai Zhongqi, her face showing concern as she said, "You want to jump to the edge of that black hole and then contain it inside the subspace of the Glass Bead? That's too dangerous. Even if you can make a short-distance warp, if your reaction isn't faster than the black hole, it will crush you before you even get the chance to contain it."

Bai Zhongqi shook his head, "It's better than doing nothing, do you expect me to watch you die with me?"

"There's no need for us to die together, I can go." Zero stood between him and the Soul Destroyer Mech.

Bai Zhongqi looked at Zero's determined face and, very rarely, a surge of anger rose within him as he scolded, "Stop fooling around, move aside!"

It was the first time Zero had been scolded by Bai Zhongqi, and tears immediately started streaming down her face.

Bai Zhongqi felt a softening in his heart too; he stepped forward and held Zero's delicate body in his arms, comforting her, "Even if you went, you couldn't use the Glass Bead. This is something only I can do. As long as I get close, I can contain the black hole. Even if I don't manage it well, I can still use Instant Flash at the last moment to get out and try again. It's better than doing nothing."

He knew there was no more time for these emotional exchanges, and, breaking the norm, he lightly kissed Zero's cherry lips then resolutely boarded the Soul Destroyer.

At that moment, two spaceships that were too close to the black hole had lost control of their power and were pulled in. The Blade Empress, relying on its powerful propulsion, continuously used reactive force to counteract the pull of the black hole, but the effect was limited; it could only delay its inevitable pull into the black hole.

The completely invisible black hole, like a hidden horror, sucked in all the matter around it into its body, and various other facilities on Xianhu star were also completely devoured by the black hole at that moment.

In a command center tens of thousands of light-years away, Su Shuang had also lost the visual feed of the scene at Xianhu star. The reconnaissance satellites had been devoured, and with them went the terrain generation device for the battlefield. That meant as long as Bai Zhongqi kept the Blade Empress out of the black hole's range, he could reactivate the wormhole generator and leave that cursed place.

Su Shuang could hear in the next room, the Star Alliance Chancellor on the verge of hysteria was bellowing.

"Go to hell, Bai Zhongqi, let the black hole crush you into pieces! Hahahaha, the master of the Star Alliance is me, Xiao Yu!"

Sitting carelessly beside Su Shuang, Suo Kexiao, a Divine General of the High Council, mocked, "I never expected the Chancellor of the Star Alliance to be such a pitiful and ridiculous person."

He stood up, laughing, "But that also saves us a lot of trouble. If the Star Devourer really is the Swarm Empress and she gets crushed by the black hole, she naturally won't pose a threat to the Galaxy anymore."

Su Shuang shook his head decisively, "It won't be that simple."

"Come with me, and take that idiot Xiao Yu with us; we're going to Xianhu star." Su Shuang added, lightly shaking his luxurious cloak and heading to the next room.

Suo Kexiao looked at his retreating back in surprise and asked, "Why do you want Xiao Yu to come with us?"

Without turning around or stopping, Su Shuang replied, "As bait."

Suo Kexiao smiled happily, saying, "I quite like this idea."

At the black hole battlefield near Xianhu Star, Bai Zhongqi had already charged toward the black hole in his Soul Destroyer Mech. Just before he got close, three more Swarm Warships were unable to resist the black hole's powerful gravitational pull and were sucked in. Bai Zhongqi didn't particularly care about the loss of the Swarm Warships, as the Beast Servant Warships served the sole purpose of battle, having no other thoughts and completely obeying the Swarm Empress. Moreover, Zero had by then placed all her Insect Nests in a Virtual Universe where time flowed tenfold, and Bai Zhongqi could harvest fifty thousand Swarm Warships each year, which made for an expansion speed even mightier than the Star Alliance in its heyday.

Zero, aboard the Blade Empress, wept, and even though she had no faith in any cosmic Great God, she kept praying to the mysterious forces of the Universe at that moment.

Bai Zhongqi dared not let go and allow the black hole's powerful gravitational force to pull him in at an accelerating pace, so he ignited all the engines on the Soul Destroyer, applying force in the opposite direction; this way, his approach to the black hole was relatively controllable.

Because of the massive pull of the two opposing forces, the Soul Destroyer became very unstable. Even with damping devices inside it, Bai Zhongqi felt as if his body were being torn apart by horses, being dragged in different directions.

He had always used the Glass Bead by touching the surface of celestial bodies, which was almost always foolproof, but now, attempting to collect a black hole with the Glass Bead, if he actually touched the black hole, he would die. After all, the Elder Race could live forever but was not immortal.

"It's not my time to die yet!" Bai Zhongqi gritted his teeth.

"My vengeance has not been served. The resentment for so many in the Star Alliance and the Silver Feather Army who were bullied and killed by Xiao Yu has not been settled, I haven't taken good care of the people I love and who love me, I haven't realized the dream of unifying the Galaxy, how can I just die here!"

In that moment, Bai Zhongqi was infinitely close to death, but he was not afraid of dying. It was only by fighting against death that he could cling to a thread of life.

He had gotten close enough to the black hole, but its gravitational pull became so strong that the engines on the Soul Destroyer could no longer apply enough counteracting force; his speed being pulled into the black hole increased even more.

Bai Zhongqi kept trying to activate the collection of the Glass Bead, but it wouldn't work. When he could no longer control his speed, Bai Zhongqi gritted his teeth, initiated the collection, and simultaneously launched the Soul Destroyer's short-range jump. But the jump he initiated was not away from the black hole, but towards it.

The moment the jump was completed, Bai Zhongqi felt as if his entire body had been crushed by immense pressure, but the collection, while still in the process of being activated, finally succeeded in collecting the black hole into the Glass Sphere.

Zero witnessed the black hole vanish in an instant, also seeing the almost flattened Divine Mech. Even the superweapon built by the Elder Race couldn't withstand the terrible pressure of the black hole. Zero dashed insanely from the spaceship, tearing the Mech apart piece by piece, eventually finding Bai Zhongqi inside, barely alive but no longer in human shape.

Zero didn't dare waste any time and immediately took Bai Zhongqi back to the Blade Empress via teleport. She carefully placed Bai Zhongqi into the medical pod before she finally took a breath.

Inside the medical pod, Bai Zhongqi's destroyed organs would be repaired, and any lost parts could be regenerated through gene activation. In any case, Bai Zhongqi's life was saved.

Meanwhile, just 0.5 astronomical units away from Xianhu Star, near a small asteroid, the Stargate opened wide, and from it jumped one Star Alliance Warship after another and Warships from the High Council.

The real grand battle was about to begin.
