Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1695 - 539: Declaration of War (Part 5)

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live!"

...

Innumerable citizens cried out with burning zeal.

After scanning the area, the Dark Star Emperor proclaimed to all present.

"Set off!"

...

----------------------------------------

Apocalypse Star, Second New Galaxy.

Within the opulent chamber of the Divine Palace.

Seated before a golden vanity, the Fanluo God Emperor gazed into a delicate mirror and spotted Bureneda behind him, tenderly and flirtatiously brushing his hair as she shyly murmured.

"Lord God Emperor, you're growing even more handsome."

"Sweet talker."

Smiling, the Fanluo God Emperor caressed Bureneda’s delicate hand while replying.

At that instant, Yakes entered, bowed to the Fanluo God Emperor, and said deferentially.

"Lord Fanluo God Emperor, the moment has arrived."

Lost in tender bliss, Bureneda whirled on Yakes with irritation and snapped.

"Why so hasty? Can’t they wait a little?"

"Don’t say that."

With a smile, the Fanluo God Emperor gently restrained Bureneda.

"Lord God Emperor, these folks truly fail to value you."

Bureneda complained, feeling wronged.

"No worries, duty comes first!"

The Fanluo God Emperor rose promptly and strode directly toward the exit.

Passing Yakes, he halted abruptly, glanced back at him, and grinned while saying.

"Yakes, your eyes possess a unique charm; I admire them!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord God Emperor."

Yakes replied steadily, his brows twitching faintly.

Chuckling heartily, the Fanluo God Emperor proceeded outward.

Trailing after him, Bureneda’s face abruptly darkened with displeasure.

...

Divine Palace’s Outer Square.

Myriad soldiers clad in exoskeleton armor stood rigidly in ranks across the plaza.

At the forefront were Asya Captain Limi, Edrig Vice Patriarch, Dusaka Vice Archbishop, Archbishop Deshier, Commander Misa, Abik Corps Commander, and more.

All awaited silently for the Fanluo God Emperor’s arrival.

Countless camera lenses focused on the platform protruding from the Divine Palace, streaming the event live!

Draped in a golden sacred robe and crowned with the Crown of Silence, the Fanluo God Emperor emerged with regal splendor.

"Lord God Emperor!"

...

Hosts of soldiers called out in reverence.

Graciously, the Fanluo God Emperor lifted his hand, gesturing for silence.

Tranquility swiftly enveloped the gathering.

"My loyal followers, today I’ve assembled you to unveil a deeply concealed truth."

"Secret?"

Shock rippled through the crowd.

"I’m about to introduce a friend from an Alien Race—stay calm, for I shall clarify everything!"

The Fanluo God Emperor declared smilingly.

As the Fanluo God Emperor spoke, a dark beam plummeted from above, materializing into a shadowy blob beside him that rapidly morphed, growing a human-like head and shifting into Chilami form.

"Chilami!"

Alarm seized the soldiers, yet they curbed their alarm and held back from striking.

Commander Misa and the rest knitted their brows instantly.

Smiling once more, the Fanluo God Emperor addressed the assembly.

"Fear not—Elder Sado is merely a guest witness. The revelation I bring will strip away the Federation’s vile pretense entirely!"

All eyes turned eagerly to the Fanluo God Emperor.

"Prior to the disclosure, allow me a question: We border the Chilami Clan most closely. In the last century, have they mounted any major assaults against us?"

The Fanluo God Emperor inquired with a grin.

"No!"

The response came instinctively from all.

"Has the Chilami Clan struck the Federation?"

"Yes!"

"Perfect—surely you all perceive the truth now? Truthfully, no Alien Race invasion exists; humans were never assaulted by the Chilami from start to finish. It was the Dragon String Council President’s scheme—a fabrication to justify invading and enslaving the Chilami for their so-called eternal life! The Chilami retaliated out of necessity, making us all the true casualties."

The Fanluo God Emperor proclaimed boldly.

Indeed, the truth exposed by the Fanluo God Emperor matched precisely what Su Ming had glimpsed in classified files at the Tri-School Competition.

"I affirm the Fanluo God Emperor’s words as fact. The Chilami Clan never initiated attacks on humans; your kind invaded first, massacring and binding our kin."

Sado intoned gravely.

Soldiers and citizens of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country froze in disbelief, then erupted in wrathful bellows.

"The Federation slaughtered us!"

"Scum!"

...

Beaming brightly at his enraged followers and people, the Fanluo God Emperor continued.

"Beloved ones, the Federation’s savagery and lies have incensed the supreme God. Divine Wrath has been proclaimed, and as His vessel, I will enact His command by commanding forces to annihilate the Federation!"

"Destroy the Federation!"

...

Endless soldiers and citizens roared with fervor.
