Free Web NovelI know you don't believe me now.
But since you've said it yourself, you're definitely going to die.
Why not trust me this once?
This doesn't mean you've lost anything, does it?
Of course, if you're already tired of living a simple life, then disregard what I said.
But to be honest.
"I can't guarantee whether this will succeed," Zhao Chen said calmly.
The Black Goddess stared at Zhao Chen; she could tell that he wasn't lying.
But does he really have that ability?
"We were enemies before, in the battle between you and me."
At least hundreds of millions of interstellar warships have perished.
"Shouldn't you hate me?" The Black Goddess Empress stared at Zhao Chen, unable to understand the actions of this tyrannical emperor.
Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "Yes."
We used to be rivals.
But all of that is over now.
You lost, I won.
Yes or no."
The Black Goddess nodded, though she might not be able to accept it in her heart, but it was a fact.
She has already lost.
I've lost everything I have now.
So it's just as Zhao Chen said.
"So what are your conditions?" The Black Goddess Empress looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly, then leaned forward, revealing a shrewd businessman's expression.
That smiling face was all too familiar to those who had once been Zhao Chen's rivals or enemies.
"Actually, the conditions I proposed to you..."
I think it's also beneficial for you.
Aren't you still nostalgic for the current universe that devours civilizations?
If everything goes smoothly.
You can become the executive officer of the new universe that devours civilizations.
"I think no one is more suitable for this position than you." Zhao Chen smiled as he looked at the Black Goddess Empress.
"You want me to work for you?" The Black Goddess Empress narrowed her eyes.
"That's a bit cold-hearted of you to say."
To put it another way.
I will free you from the control of order.
Then, with my help, you can continue to manage and develop the new Devouring Civilization universe.
Of course, your rights will be subject to limitations.
For example, you have no diplomatic power or the right to manage the military, and you are subject to my supervision.
However, under normal circumstances, it will not have much impact on your management of the universe.
As you've seen, those interstellar forces under the jurisdiction of my Xiaolong Interstellar Empire basically all follow this pattern.
If you don't believe me, I can give you some time to go and see for yourself.
Facts will prove that this is the best choice.
Of course, this time limit is not unlimited.
If you are sure there are no problems.
Let's sign a 100-year agreement first.
If you decide you don't want to continue after a hundred years, then you'll be free.
"I won't stop you from going wherever you want or doing whatever you want." Zhao Chen's words sounded like the whisper of a demon.
There, she was constantly tempting the Black Goddess Empress.
Next, Zhao Chen unleashed a killer move.
"I think you should have received the news as well."
Your stronghold has been occupied by those three forces.
You should know that you were partners who fought side by side before.
Before your battle was even over, those three brothers raided your hometown.
That's a bit too unfair.
I think that's when they agreed to support your vow to fight me.
They had already made arrangements.
If you win, they'll add insult to injury and take a share of the spoils.
If you lose, they will take the opportunity to invade your cosmic territory and pick you like a peach.
What I hate most is people who stab you in the back.
If you are willing to join me.
Then I can give you a chance.
Now, on the battlefield of sworn duels, you still have over fifty million interstellar warships.
And within the universe that devours civilizations, there are still many of your trusted followers.
I can let you lead this part of the legion's fleet to slaughter your way back to the Devouring Civilization universe.
Take your revenge on them.
However, I regret to inform you that I cannot offer you much assistance in the short term.
As you know, I have something to do in my backyard. I need to deal with the Conqueror Civilization issue first before I can make other follow-up arrangements.
So, whether you fight this battle or not is up to you.
The Black Goddess Empress remained silent.
To be honest, of all the things Zhao Chen is saying, the last one is the one that really appeals to her.
In a duel fought on the front lines, if you lose, you lose.
She was convinced.
But being stabbed in the back by her 'comrade' was something she couldn't accept.
If she has any 'last wish' now, it must be for these three civilizations.
She originally thought she would never have the chance to take revenge in her lifetime.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity is now right in front of her.
"I'll give you some time to think it over..." Zhao Chen had barely finished speaking.
The Black Goddess Empress raised her hand: "No need, I don't have much to consider right now."
Since that's the case, then I'll make this deal with you.
"At worst, I'll just kill myself."
The Black Goddess Empress was open and honest, and had made all the necessary preparations.
If Emperor Xiaolong had any tricks up his sleeve back then, she could have just given up.
"Alright, you shall now formally pledge allegiance to me." Zhao Chen smiled as he looked at the Black Goddess Empress.
"Is it that simple?" The Black Goddess Empress looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.
“It’s that simple.” Zhao Chen nodded.
After much deliberation, the Black Goddess Empress walked up to Zhao Chen, and the jet-black armor on her body vanished at that moment.
Wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit, even though her body was aging rapidly, her curvaceous figure was still very eye-catching.
Then she slowly knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Chen, placed her hand on her chest, and said with her head down, "I, Hei... Hei Luolin."
"I swear allegiance to Emperor Xiaolong!"
After a few simple words.
In the distant Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, in that mysterious laboratory.
A name appeared at the very top of the list.
'Black Lorraine'
"That's it?" Black Goddess Empress Black Lorin stood up and looked at Zhao Chen. She now felt that this ritual was very strange, and she even doubted whether she should trust this guy.
"How much longer can you live?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at the Black Goddess Empress, Hei Luolin.
Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine looked at her wrinkled hands: "Ten minutes at most."
"Okay."
Ten minutes later you will appear in a very clean white room, where someone will take care of you.
You may not see me for a while.
But I will send word back that someone will be specifically responsible for taking care of your daily life.
After that, my people will send you back as soon as possible.
After all, there are still so many legion fleets here that need to be dealt with.
"By the way, if they don't hear from you, how long will they... maintain this... state?" Zhao Chen asked as a final question.
If the Black Goddess Empress Black Lorin doesn't return in time, and the fleets of those devouring civilization legions can't wait and launch another war, that would be no fun.
“Without my order, these legionary fleets will not take any action within seven days unless they face a threat,” said Black Goddess Empress Black Lorin.
"Seven days should be enough." Zhao Chen nodded, smiling as he looked at the Black Goddess Empress, Hei Luolin: "Hei Luolin, go and embrace your new life."
goodbye."
Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine's eyelids drooped, her body continued to age rapidly, and she was no longer able to maintain her fighting strength.
Zhao Chen stepped forward and gently helped her fall to the ground.
Ash-like particles began to appear on the surface of her body, then dissipated in the wind.
The Black God Emperor of a great interstellar civilization has actually perished like this.
I doubt anyone would have thought of that.
At this moment, Zhao Chen also felt that something that had always been in his heart seemed to have completely disappeared.
This likely foreshadows the end of the vowed duel.
Zhao Chen returned to his captain's chair and opened the video window that had been maintaining communication.
Opposite him is Grand Marshal Charlotte.
You heard the whole thing.
"What are your thoughts?" Zhao Chen looked at Grand Marshal Charlotte opposite him.
"Do you really believe her?" Grand Marshal Charlotte asked with some concern.
"What difference does it make whether you believe it or not?"
We are already the victors in this duel.
However, with the involvement of those three forces in devouring the civilization universe, our current situation simply cannot support another expeditionary battle.
Since that's the case, why don't we give this Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine a try?
Let her lead her legion and fleet back to fight; she has the advantage of fighting on home soil.
Even if she's not truly loyal to me, at least she can cause trouble for those three forces, right?
As long as the universe of devoured civilizations is not completely controlled by others, the resistance to our future takeover will be greatly reduced.
If the Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine can really bring those three forces together to fight, it will be beneficial to us.
Furthermore, if the Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine can truly pledge allegiance to us...
The benefits to us outweigh the drawbacks.
The situation of devouring a civilization universe is different from other universes. It would require a lot of investment to completely control it, so sending the Black Goddess Empress to take charge has a unique advantage.
"Wouldn't that allow us to take control of the Devouring Civilization Universe in a short period of time and obtain its resources?" Zhao Chen said frankly.
Grand Marshal Charlotte nodded.
"If everything goes smoothly, we'll need to consider withdrawing our troops within a week."
A recent report I received.
This is a battle report from the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe's universe.
The situation there is not optimistic.
We need to hurry.
Make arrangements here, first dispatching some combat-capable legion fleets to support the battle.
The Flower Fairy Federation Tribe Universe is of great importance to us.
"Absolutely nothing can be allowed to happen!" Zhao Chen said solemnly.
Grand Marshal Charlotte nodded: "I've taken that into consideration."
Currently, our main fleet groups have experienced this battle, and most of them are not in good condition.
We need to rest for a while.
I selected some combat-capable star fleets from them and compiled a list.
It is approximately 300,000 interstellar warships.
As long as we issue the order.
These 300,000 interstellar warships can immediately head to the stargate location, return to our Dragon Star Empire, and then support the Fairy Federation tribe's cosmic battlefield through the stargate.
It is estimated that it will take twenty-four hours.
Hearing that Grand Marshal Charlotte had already made these arrangements.
Zhao Chen said directly, "No need to wait, these 300,000 interstellar warships will set off immediately."
In any case, the top priority now is to ensure the safety of the Flower Fairy Federation's universe.
Grand Marshal Charlotte nodded.
She then added, "Follow-up support has also been arranged."
I have divided our current fleet into five tiers.
Each tier has 300,000 interstellar warships, for a total of 1.5 million interstellar warships.
These interstellar warships can be restored to combat capability in a short period of time and rush to the battlefield to provide support.
However, they still need to replenish supplies and rest.
Each group needs to be spaced 24 hours apart before it can be deployed.
The remaining interstellar legion fleets will need at least three hundred hours of rest before they can resume combat.
Of course, they could be deployed directly to the battlefield, but the combat effectiveness would fall short of the expected capabilities of our JF-17 fleet, potentially resulting in unnecessary casualties.
Hearing these words from Grand Marshal Charlotte.
Zhao Chen said, "You can take care of arranging this part."
If you have any questions, contact Lilith.
If you are still unsure about any issues, please contact me.
In matters of military affairs, Zhao Chen completely trusts Charlotte.
"Okay." Charlotte nodded.
Next, the war-torn Zaun of the shattered universe suddenly ceased, and everything seemed to enter a strange state of calm.
This was somewhat unexpected for both parties involved.
But everyone is satisfied with the current peace. The months-long war has left both sides exhausted.
Especially on the side of the Devouring Civilization Legion fleet, there were even some anti-war and war-weary sentiments.
The core of a legion fleet that devours civilizations is invasion, and then enjoying the fruits of that invasion.
But now, they are constantly at war, yet they are gaining nothing.
This leads to a surge in their war-weariness.
This is why, in the later stages of the war, the combat effectiveness of the civilization-devouring legion fleet declined at a much faster rate than that of the Wyvern Legion fleet.
Because the fighting spirit of the two sides is fundamentally different.
Zhao Chen looked out at the starry sky through the porthole of the flagship's bridge.
Presumably, by now, the Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine has already been 'reborn'.
order.
I took one of your pieces from your game.
Would you consider this your first loss in our confrontation?
In the past, I and the Dragon Star Legion might have seemed like mere ants to you.
But now that ant has grown up, it can bite off a piece of your flesh.
And soon, it will formally challenge your authority.
Right now.
In a secret base of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, clones were sent out and injected with collected life information.
This allows those soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to be reborn.
At that moment, a particularly beautiful body appeared.
She opened her eyes.
"I... Black Lorraine?"
"Did I really come back to life?"
