Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

"It's over."

Emperor Rudolf shook his head:

"Prepare the diplomatic rhetoric, next, we may very well have to hand over the regime."

These words sent shockwaves throughout the Empire's political circles.

"We must not surrender, Your Majesty!"

"It's just a mere 21-kilometer battleship. We must fight to see the truth!"

"Your Majesty, we haven't lost yet, the people still stand by us."

"Those soldiers, each one can easily destroy the entire surface civilization of Azure Star, and combined with those immortal Descenders, we cannot fend off so many forces."

Rudolf looked at Liue and others distributing knowledge to the populace, sighed, and said:

"Besides, are the people truly standing with the royalty?"

"Are they loyal to the emperor, or to that ideal empire in their hearts?"

"I think many are the latter. And those aliens, they do it much better than us."

Rudolf's concerns were justified.

No one could stop them, the Red Arrow Empire's Gamma Phase soldiers and armored forces excelled on Azure Star, but Baizhu Star's basic armed units were all Zeta Rank.

Merely by the aura of their divinity, the Red Arrow army lost its fighting spirit; it wasn't their fault, it was just normal hierarchy suppression, not being directly shocked to death was already due to the strict discipline of the Baizhu Star soldiers.

The Red Arrow's military and police couldn't muster a sliver of resistance; they could only watch Mr. Liue with the Arcane Users of the Sovereign Path distribute and disseminate teaching materials door by door.

"Ah, isn't this His Excellency Leoz's Path?"

Upon receiving the materials, many Red Arrow people immediately joyfully realized:

"So our state religion, the Monolith Church, was a belief From Star Abyss from the beginning."

Once this awareness set in, the public sentiment of the Red Arrow immediately turned a hundred and eighty degrees to the left.

"Indeed, His Excellency Leoz is the only truth! We have always been the children of Star Abyss."

"Since our faith also comes from Star Abyss, why should we fear Lord Entropy?"

"Baizhu Star's state religion also worships Leoz, as do we—of course, we are one family, and helping each other is perfectly natural."

"Li Aozi is also one of our Red Arrow people who left, he brought such formidable power and even chose to confront Lord Entropy."

"Who is right or wrong, does it even need to be distinguished..."

Liue looked towards the crowd, as one of the founders of the Pathway of Echo, she could clearly sense the convergence of familiar powers, eventually transmitting towards the direction of the sky.

"The followers of the Sovereign are increasing, those who resonate with Leoz's ideology and are captivated by his thoughts and actions, all will become his strength."

Liue lightly grasped, her fingertips skimming over the barely perceptible pathways of power, unable to retain any of it as these pathways resolutely headed towards Li Aozi in the firmament.

"Just as his idea, the people of this era will choose Leoz." Liue murmured: "He never made the Azure Star people make a choice; Azure Star's future was merely transferred from the hands of Lord Entropy to Leoz."

"But didn't Leoz also make his intentions clear?"

Old Zhuo came to her side, sighing:

"Leoz's approach is a bit extreme, however, it fits perfectly with the Sovereign Path's philosophy—shouldn't a sovereign overcome all odds, no matter how incredible, and follow through unwaveringly?"

"I don't deny this. But Leoz's domination and control of this planet, akin to the Goddess manipulating the threads of fate, make it hard to say if he is a savior or merely a Machiavellian."

Liue touched her nonexistent chin.

"Then what more is necessary? Just do good deeds without worrying about the future."

Zhuo laughed:

"Mr. Liue, you shouldn't get too caught up in intentions and motivations. If everything had to rise to a political height, there would be no good people in the world."

"Who knows, this world isn't lacking in bastards who chant positive slogans yet exploit and bully."

Liue waved her hand:

"However, there's at least one thing I can understand."

The scorching battle axe cleaved open the mecha's interior, Du Zexin indifferently raised his shotgun, firing at the approaching mecha behind him without turning as the clustered bullets instantly penetrated the ambush's breastplate.

"The people of Azure Star will choose Leoz because Leoz sees them as human."

Before the pilot could react, Du Zexin suddenly activated the thruster, lifted a spinning kick, the mechanical foot extended a chainsaw, and launched a fierce attack amid the pilot's screams.

"Lord Entropy doesn't care about the mortals, in the eyes of the Four Nations, the populace is just numbers; only Leoz would personally act, bringing them light, hope, and revealing to them this dream From Star Abyss."

Sshh!

Du Zexin extracted his hand from the armored personnel carrier, casually squeezing several living Red Arrow soldiers into pulp as if they were chicks.

"I suppose for mortals, this is enough."

The blazing flames quietly spread, dancing wildly in the white sandy snowfields of the Outer World.

"The Judgment is not over yet."

Du Zexin ripped off the scrapped components from himself, ruthlessly trampling across the carbon-based human remnants, hydraulic rods driving him to spread his arms like a human, as magnetic force ran rampant, rapidly disassembling the damaged mechanical parts on the ground and swiftly attaching them to his body.
