Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1808 - 561: Giving Up Completely

Inside the Guang Xiao Star Destroyer's central control room, a legendary-level vessel, an operator fearfully addressed his superior.

"Lord Fanluo God Emperor, the situation is dire; many of our forces below have lost control!"

"Furthermore, Lannette has defected and is leading troops in rebellion."

...

Fanluo’s countenance grew exceedingly grim upon receiving the subordinate's report.

At that moment, Yakes observed Fanluo God Emperor's turbulent expression and his brow furrowed. He then leaned in and whispered into his ear.

"My Lord God Emperor, heed my counsel: the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country is already in crisis. While the Old King’s Army may not have fully seized every planet, they have likely secured over half. The most critical point is that the Old King’s Army has exposed everything, making it exceptionally difficult to regain the populace's trust. Certainly, if you were to lead our forces back now to suppress the Old King’s Army, there’s a substantial chance of reclaiming what’s lost. However, your reign would never be the same, and once the Federation recovers, you will be finished! Therefore, you have no alternative but to press forward."

"Haha, I never fathomed I'd reach such a precipice. Who is this Su Ming, and what profound animosity does he harbor towards me? Why does he consistently thwart my machinations?"

Hearing these words, Fanluo God Emperor's expression visibly contorted.

In truth, Fanluo God Emperor had contemplated a temporary withdrawal. Yet, the predicament was that even if he desired to retreat, the Chilami Alien Race might not permit it.

"Lord Fanluo God Emperor, lamenting is futile now; the immediate priority is to decide swiftly!"

Yakes urged Fanluo God Emperor.

"Connect me to all loyal aide troops!"

Fanluo God Emperor commanded icily.

"Yes, sir!"

The operator promptly acknowledged.

Communications were soon fully established, and multiple avatars appeared on screen.

From the displayed images, it was evident that a sense of unease and worry pervaded everyone present.

Fanluo God Emperor cast a cold glance over them before speaking.

"As you are all aware, the Federation has conspired with the remnants of the Kingdom to defame this God Emperor, aiming to demoralize the military and dismantle the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country! I shall not elaborate further; simply reflect honestly: how have I treated you all in the past?"

"Lord God Emperor, you have been a most generous benefactor to us!"

A chorus of officers responded in unison.

Despite the God Emperor's relentless exploitation of the common folk through inhumane measures, he had been remarkably generous to his inner circle, ensuring their lives were exceptionally comfortable.

"Excellent! As long as you remain steadfast by my side, upon our victory over the Federation, each of you shall be bestowed with titles and nobility!"

The God Emperor made a direct promise to all his trusted aides.

His immediate concern was to secure his loyal forces; should they falter, he would be utterly isolated.

"We swear our undying allegiance to Lord God Emperor until death!"

The gathered trusted aides responded with fervent enthusiasm.

In reality, the soldiers within these loyal forces were not deceived by Fanluo God Emperor's manipulative rhetoric. They were fully aware that the evidence Su Ming had unveiled was authentic. Nevertheless, they could not oppose Fanluo God Emperor. As beneficiaries of his rule, his downfall would inevitably mean their own.

"Very well, those who have rebelled shall face the retribution they deserve!"

Fanluo God Emperor's eyes blazed with ferocity, and he reactivated the special red stone once more.

Amidst the vast expanse of the starry sky.

Swish!

An immense tide of Chilami surged forth, seemingly engulfing the entire firmament in a shroud of darkness.

VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Milk and VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Adimo emerged from this swirling mass, immediately splitting their forces to advance towards Defense Zones 2 and 4 respectively.

Like an unstoppable deluge, the Chilami contingent divided, following the two elders.

At the Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters.

Piercing alarms blared incessantly, and the scanning displays were inundated with a dense scattering of red indicators.

Gwen promptly delivered a report to the assembled personnel.

"A large-scale Chilami force has been detected, led by Elder Milk and Elder Adimo, targeting Defense Zones 2 and 4!"

"Cornered beasts fight with desperation. Angulat and Hayes, you two will lead the troops to Defense Zones 2 and 4 to ensure they are held!"

Long Chen immediately issued these orders to General Angulat and Admiral Hayes upon receiving the intelligence.

"Understood!"

General Angulat and Admiral Hayes rose with palpable killing intent and departed.

Commander Flaya, his expression heavy, addressed Long Chen at this juncture.

"It appears Fanluo God Emperor intends to fight to his final breath."

"Indeed, but if we repel this onslaught, Fanluo God Emperor will be utterly finished!"

Long Chen declared, taking a deep breath.

"Mm!"

Commander Flaya and the others concurred.

...

The battlefield at Defense Zone 2.

Mechas piloted by soldiers of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country engaged in fierce combat with the overseers.

The public communication frequency buzzed with enraged shouts.

"You traitors! How dare you betray the God Emperor! The wrath of God will descend upon you!"

"Go to hell! If any god shows up, the God Emperor will be the first to be annihilated!"

Those soldiers raising the rebellion shot back with equal ferocity.

Just then, Elder Adimo emerged from the rear, guiding the shadowy Chilami forces. Immediately, all scanning devices shrieked with alarms, and the overseers erupted in triumphant laughter.

"You are finished!"

At that instant, the strange growths on Adimo's body ruptured.

Swish swish!

Luminous beams sliced through the heavens.

Rumble~

Mechas locked in battle were obliterated without distinction.

"Ah~"

"Don't attack us!"

...

Cries of agony flooded the communication channel.

Inside the Star Destroyer Holy Slumber's Central Control Room,

Godfrey, witnessing the scene, was stunned and promptly reported the situation to Vice Patriarch Edrig.
