Novlin sealed the gift box once more, clutching it close to her chest, drew in a deep breath, and flashed a radiant smile at Su Ming while she spoke.
“Alright, have your people come to receive the weapons.”
Su Ming nodded and responded.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.”
Novlin swiftly acknowledged.
…
Several hours passed.
Hokas and his group arrived, transferring the weapons from the Thunder Extreme.
The crowd buzzed with exhilaration around the weapons, chattering in thrilled voices.
“Wow!”
“So many advanced weapons!”
…
Novlin paid no heed to the weapons, instead gripping the gift box tightly, tilting her head upward to gaze at the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme as it gradually lifted off, tears tracing silently from the edges of her eyes.
Teardrop after teardrop plummeted to the ground.

—————————————-
The boundary of the Bright Star Sea.
The formidable Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Guang Xiao spearheaded a massive fleet toward the Danube Star Sea.
Within the living quarters of Guang Xiao·A1.
Clad in a pristine white ceremonial robe, Bureneda strode toward room A1.
As he neared the entrance, the door slid open, and Yakes stepped out.
Bureneda witnessed the sight, his refined features twisting faintly, eyes locked intently on Yakes.
Yakes spotted Bureneda yet ignored him utterly, pivoting away with a stoic expression and departing.
Bureneda observed Yakes vanish from view, steadied his feelings, approached the door, and rapped upon it.
Knock, knock!
“Come in.”
The indolent voice of Fanluo God Emperor drifted from within.
Bureneda pushed open the door and entered, beholding Fanluo God Emperor reclined lazily on the sofa, robe hanging loosely ajar.
“What’s the matter?”
Fanluo God Emperor inquired with a grin.
“Lord Fanluo God Emperor, we’ve reached the border between the Bright Star Sea and the Danube Star Sea, ready to link up with the Dark Star Empire.”
Bureneda announced deferentially.
“I’m aware. Time to greet an old acquaintance.”
Fanluo God Emperor rose leisurely from the sofa.
“Lord, allow me to straighten your attire.”
Bureneda hurried forward at once, tenderly tidying Fanluo God Emperor’s rumpled garments.
“Well done!”
Fanluo God Emperor commended cheerfully.
…
Several hours later.
In the vast, ebony expanse of space, the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country’s armada merged triumphantly with the Dark Star Empire’s forces.
Ships and mechs from both factions blanketed the starry void, forming a spectacular tableau.
Now, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Guang Xiao neared the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Void, the vessels docking seamlessly.
Click!
The airlock hissed open.
Fanluo God Emperor, accompanied by Asya and Edrigge Vice Patriarch, boarded the Void.
Roglian Chief awaited them there.
“Roglian.”
Fanluo God Emperor greeted with a smile.
“Lord Fanluo God Emperor, the Emperor awaits you. This way, please!”
Roglian bowed and gestured courteously.
“Lead on!”
Fanluo God Emperor agreed delightedly.
Roglian guided Fanluo God Emperor deeper inside, arriving shortly at an opulent chamber.
The Emperor loomed regally upon the throne.
Sakari, Disfa Deputy Commander, Soske Deputy Commander, and their cohorts flanked the hall in grave attendance.
With his retinue in tow, Fanluo God Emperor advanced to the hall’s heart, gazed upward at the enthroned Emperor, and beamed broadly.
“Igoshim, long time no see!”
“Fanluo, a century has flown by! Never thought you’d wind up like this—don’t you find it laughable?”
Igoshim fixed Fanluo God Emperor with a stare and spoke icily.
He discerned instantly that Fanluo God Emperor now defied gender and had sided with Chilami.
Asya and the rest paled subtly at the Emperor’s barb, darting covert looks toward Fanluo God Emperor.
Unruffled by the taunt, Fanluo God Emperor smiled back.
“Igoshim, who could’ve guessed that even after a hundred years, you remain so superficial. Gender and race? Mere trifles to me now—I’ve risen above such bonds.”
“Hmph, still the same old hypocrite.”
Igoshim scoffed disdainfully at Fanluo God Emperor’s retort.
“Hehe, enough of that. Today, I’ve come to ally with you against the Federation!”
Fanluo God Emperor brushed aside the Emperor’s jibe, grinning as he revealed his intent.
“Spare me the alliance talk—just give me the assault timeline.”
Igoshim shot back haughtily.
“Certain about that? Care to rethink it?”
Fanluo God Emperor’s face shifted subtly.
“No further words needed; my word is iron.”
Igoshim declared firmly.
“Very well, the attack time is noted here.”
Fanluo God Emperor retrieved an envelope and passed it to Roglian.
Roglian accepted it and advanced reverently to offer it to the Emperor.
Igoshim seized the envelope and intoned gravely.
“Escort them away!”
“No need—we’ll depart on our own!”
Fanluo God Emperor chuckled and withdrew with his followers.
In no time, the grand hall stood empty save for the Emperor and his loyal retainers.
Right then, Roglian spoke up, his voice tinged with bewilderment.
“Emperor, why refuse the cooperation? It would greatly lessen our casualties and preserve countless lives.”
“Hmph! I refuse to ally with that freakish being—neither man nor woman, not even human!”
Igoshim snapped back without mincing words.
Though he had clashed endlessly with the Federation, Igoshim shunned pacts with alien species, gripping his human pride tightly; his burning desire was nothing less than godhood.
“Understood.”
Roglian responded with deep deference.
