Chapter 2177 - 1679: Shaking the Head (Extra - for Silver Alliance Leader An Jingyuan) (3 Updates)

"There’s no other way. Icarus, you’ll have to go in once, figure out what’s going on inside, see exactly what abnormality has occurred. If we really have no choice and must enter to clean it up, then the rules will have to be changed as well."

The Alien Clan Leader, Gusadan, answered in agreement.

"All right then."

Icarus took a deep breath and replied.

"We’ll be counting on you."

Iswen spoke to Icarus · Radiance with great respect.

Icarus raised the bracelet on his left hand and shouted loudly.

"Illusion!"

At that moment, a streak of golden light shot in from the distant starry sky. In an instant, a Mecha over two hundred meters tall appeared, wielding a golden God-Slaying Spear, its whole body etched with complex golden patterns of worlds in reincarnation. Thirty?six golden wings spread from its back, and behind it a faint, rotating God ring drifted, dyeing the surrounding space in gold.

Icarus leaped and landed directly on the shoulder of the VII?generation Divine Illusion Mecha. The next second, the VII?generation Divine Illusion turned into a stream of golden light and flew toward the Eighteen Star Domains.

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

Negative God Star · Black Light.

Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, Krisia and the others were all standing on the observation deck of the command room.

They were gazing at the sky not far away.

They saw a Blue Whale hanging a huge Star Drill device, making positioning adjustments.

By now, it had been 72 hours since Kilmock was killed, and Krisia had fully taken control of the remaining Immortal Empire forces.

At this time, a request for instructions sounded on the communication channel.

"Lady Krisia, the Star Drill has been fully calibrated. Shall we begin operations?"

Krisia turned her head to look at Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded slightly, indicating that they could.

"Proceed."

Krisia replied in a deep voice.

They saw that Blue Whale directly cut off the hanging safety rig. The entire Star Drill dropped straight down.

A moment later the whole device activated, the drill started rotating.

At the instant of impact it burrowed straight into the ground, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

"This drill’s penetration is insane!"

Sun Duoxiang and the others couldn’t help blurting out.

Su Mo was inwardly quite amazed too. You had to know, the ground of Negative God Star was anything but ordinary in hardness. This equipment was seriously powerful, and from the looks of it, Icaroya’s grand plan really had hope.

"This node has finally been successfully worked."

Krisia also let out a long breath of relief.

Just then, Reoter came in, pressing down a disheveled and bedraggled Kyarat.

"Sister Krisia!"

Kyarat shouted excitedly when he saw Krisia.

Su Mo and the others all turned to look. Seeing Reoter escorting Kyarat in, their brows tightened as well.

Reoter spoke to Krisia.

"Lady Krisia, the situation is completely under control now. How should we deal with him?"

"You can’t burn the bridge after crossing it. I’m the one who made them give up resistance, you can’t kill me!"

Kyarat panicked as well.

"I never promised you anything. Whether you live or die, whether you’re guilty or not, depends entirely on Lady Krisia’s judgment."

Reoter replied bluntly.

Kyarat hurriedly fell to his knees before Krisia, shamelessly begging.

"Sister Krisia, you can’t kill us, we’re blood brother and sister. I’m your only kin left in this world. If you kill me, you’ll be completely alone."

Krisia answered with an icy gaze.

"When you took me down back then, did you ever consider kinship?"

"You can’t blame me for that. I was forced too, Father forced me to do it. There was nothing I could do. If I didn’t listen, Father would definitely have killed me. You know I usually treat you pretty well. There wasn’t any real bad blood between us. Just spare me this once."

Kyarat kept pleading.

Hearing this, Krisia’s expression kept shifting.

Seeing that, Kyarat hurried to continue.

"As long as you let me go, I swear I’ll do whatever you tell me to, absolutely no second thoughts."

Krisia turned to look at Su Mo.

Su Mo studied Kyarat, his brows slightly furrowed. Normally, this counted as an internal affair of the Immortal Empire, and he didn’t want to get involved.

But his intuition told him Kyarat wasn’t as simple as he looked. Keeping him around would be a ticking bomb.

There was another point: if Kyarat lived, Krisia’s position as Immortal Empire Empress would never be stable. Sooner or later something would happen.

And right now, the Icaroya Plan was at its most critical phase—any unexpected change would be the worst possible outcome.

Thinking this through, Su Mo shook his head at Krisia and said calmly,

"In extraordinary times, we can’t allow even the slightest problem or hidden danger."

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Kyarat’s face turned deathly pale on the spot, like a corpse’s. Then his expression twisted into pure hatred as he glared at Su Mo.

"Su Mo, may you die a miserable death. Even as a ghost I won’t let you go..."

Krisia reached out without a word, drew a Blade from Reoter’s waist, and brought it down in one clean stroke.

Kyarat’s head was chopped off on the spot, rolling across the floor, his face frozen in utter disbelief.

After killing Kyarat, Krisia exhaled deeply and spoke to Reoter.

"Give him a proper burial."

"Yes!"

Reoter answered respectfully. He then waved his hand, and the subordinates behind him stepped forward to drag away the corpse.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Su Mo spoke to Krisia.

"Things here are basically wrapped up. It’s about time we head back to Star Ring City to report in."

"Mm. The reorganization on my side is almost done too. I need to continue on to the next area to carry out operations."

Krisia nodded, explaining her plans. When they first received their mission, they hadn’t just taken one drill, but many, and there were still plenty of nodes that hadn’t been deployed.

"All right. But do you want to return to Star Ring City with me and leave the fieldwork to your subordinates? It’d be safer. Your health isn’t great right now either."

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, but still extended the invitation to Krisia.

Krisia showed a faint smile and shook her head slightly as she replied to Su Mo.

"No. I want to stay and lead the Immortal Empire. No matter how dangerous it gets, I have to advance and retreat alongside my people."

"Okay, then I’ll say no more."

Su Mo’s respect for her was sincere.

"We’ll part ways here. Once I finish the operations on my side, maybe we’ll meet again."

Krisia bowed to him, then turned and left.

Su Mo watched Krisia’s departing back, feeling a bit wistful. Fate truly was unpredictable.

The last time they met, Krisia had still been the Immortal Empire Princess, adored by all. Now she was the Immortal Empire Empress, bearing the burden of rebuilding a shattered Immortal Empire.

"Getting a bit reluctant to let her go? Want me to drag her back for you?"

At this moment, Qian Chengxue chuckled softly and teased Su Mo.

Su Mo snapped out of it. He coughed lightly and said to Qian Chengxue,

"Quit it. It’s not that I can’t bear to let her go. I’m just a bit moved by friends parting ways, that’s all."

"Really?"

Qian Chengxue asked, smiling with an ambiguous look.
