Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

"If it weren't for that idiot woman leaving, we'd at least have a Speaker holding the fort now, we wouldn't need these kinds of methods."

"Don't worry about that, just trust in Victor's arrangement."

Zhang Fulong changed the subject and spoke towards a more distant direction:

"Jack Wanpyre, you should also pay attention, complete the blood ritual as soon as possible, your reforging materials are the hardest to handle among us."

"Jack, I've got it under control."

[Hairdresser] Jack Wanpyre said casually:

"The scalps of the Starry Abyss natives are even easier to peel than those of the Indians. Jack's not interested."

While the Secret side continuously exchanged tactics, Li Aozi and the others calmly discussed battle plans in the private chat.

"I understand the situation." [Spirit Medium] Lanan quietly summoned a spiritual body, hiding it nearby. "My role's proficiency is not high, but my mobility is good. I'll monitor their situation dynamically, and if needed, I will provide support immediately."

"Those natives have some resistance against fate manipulation, but it's limited to their bodies only." [Writer] Victor confidently said: "I'll be the same as usual, in charge of controlling the field and directing, feel free to go all out in the fight."

[Astrologer] Kauna straightened his collar and seriously said:

"That [Martial Artist] seems very strong, let me handle them."

"The attack speed of [Astrologer] is the fastest, and the recent burst power was also the strongest, leave it to me."

Li Aozi remained expressionless as he opened the White Obelisk interface, enlisting several not-so-obvious arcane energy enhancements for himself.

[Sequence 82: Bloodline] has been enlisted

[Iterative Movement] has been enlisted

[Sonic Sprint] has been enlisted

"Although I can devour them all, I still have to start with an appetizer dessert to follow the rules."

Chen Xiaochen licked his lips, the irises of his eyes quickly dilated into a nebula form, staring at Severston:

"I'll target this... weak-looking [Doctor], mediocre and lowly, a balanced diet of meat and vegetables."

"I've already figured out the details of that [Gourmet], fortunately, I'm well prepared here, with a way to restrain her."

Severston opened his bag, looking at the unopened box with [High-Tenacity Nanofiber Thread with Severe Injury Enchantment], then revealed a kind smile:

"Dare to attack the healer, you're doomed."

"Don't get too arrogant, the opponent is a Senator."

Li Aozi finished speaking and looked at Caramel Snail:

"You're the only long-range output left, although ten meters is a bit short..."

"—I'll go kill the [Writer]."

Caramel Snail slowly lifted his head, the green in his eyes flickering continuously, but more than that familiar green light, the anger burning in his pupils was even more remarkable.

At that moment, no one knew what kind of changes happened in Caramel Snail's heart.

He dug deep into his memories, past conversations with Li Aozi surfaced in his mind.

"You clearly knew that Xia Beiluo was already dead, clearly knew that this planet was beyond saving, clearly had already decided to invade this planet—but you lied to me, lied saying it was to find someone. You said so much about how miserable Xia Beiluo was, how unfortunate the people were... made me go through so much, now you tell me, it's all the result of Society's parasitism."

"Aren't you unhappy?"

"On the way here you also got along well with people, they brought out so many good things to entertain you..."

"They liked me voluntarily, I didn't ask them to like me."

"You took me through every city here, let me learn about the local customs..."

"For the convenience of bombing."

"Tell you, how could you execute the task honestly."

Li Aozi, did not lie.

The scene in the memories reappeared, Li Aozi with one hand on his hip, strangely looking at him instead:

"What did you think we were doing?"

"What did you make yourself out to be?"

"What do you think I am? A hero? A Savior? A peace envoy?"

"I have no obligation to save others."

"From the beginning to the end, I have always lived only to fulfill my personal desires."

"Saving Azure Star was to turn you into my followers and believers, Azure Star's strategic position is very important, I want it."

Yes, Li Aozi is just an ambitious person.

He wants this planet and has always been striving for it.

But... what's bad about handing over this planet to Li Aozi?

He never hides his ambition, to bomb Ziluo Star was also based on the principles of Starry Abyss.

Indeed, the people of Ziluo Star, since the day they were parasitized by the Melodic Society, have already been destroyed, Li Aozi is just like the ordinary people of this layer of Starry Abyss, normally clearing away the trash.

That's all.

"I was wrong."

Caramel Snail gripped the Blade, Cumin Powder, Xia Beiluo, and many players defeated by the Mechanical World Society, the characters they hand-raised, the accounts they meticulously cultivated, the accumulated collections, all turned to nothing.

He looked around.

Lord Entropy was about to be defeated, the sunlight shone again, but how much has this all cost?

So far, the casualties from war, conflict, and Ersha in the Four Nations can no longer be counted.

So many costs... so many sacrifices, all because of the Secret.

"Talk about mutual understanding, talk about peaceful coexistence."

Caramel Snail tightened the grip on the blade, the sword trembled constantly, emitting a clear ring, resonating with his emotional agitation:

"You bunch of Societies, don't deserve to understand coexistence!"
