Chapter 264 The Death of the Original Owner, Final Enlightenment
The "Dimensional Cage" was successfully constructed, and the battlefield temporarily returned to an eerie calm.
The savage Star-Destroying Giant Beast was trapped inside a massive silver dodecahedron.
It charged and roared wildly, but could not budge the seemingly thin wall of light even slightly.
Everyone in the Earth fleet was still immersed in the thrilling operation and the immense joy of ultimate success.
However, on the other side of the battlefield, a flame that was about to go out was burning its last.
The Shadow's consciousness was on the verge of complete dissipation after being struck head-on by the "Soul Breath".
But his unyielding determination sustained him and kept him from dying immediately.
He wants an answer.
He had to find out who he had lost to before he died!
His last bit of spiritual strength, like a candle flickering in the wind, was painstakingly gathered together.
Penetrating the energy interference of the battlefield, one can see the flagship "Pangu" that led the Earth fleet and created miracles.
He saw the insignia on the bow of the ship, a design he had never seen before, consisting of gears and ears of wheat.
That is the emblem of Earth's civilization!
It really is them!
It was this home planet civilization, which he remembered as incredibly weak and even looked down upon, that had driven him to this desperate situation, where he was on the verge of death!
Why?
What exactly happened?
Why has history deviated to such an absurd degree?
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Su Chen's cold voice once again rang out through a special mental energy channel, directly into his soul, which was on the verge of collapse.
"Do you see that, Shadow? This is the civilization you want to destroy. While you were driven mad by personal hatred, it grew to a height you can't even imagine."
"And do you really think that awakening this behemoth was your own idea?"
Su Chen's voice carried a hint of mockery.
"Think about it carefully. In your most desperate and angry moment, wasn't it too 'coincidental' for that thought to destroy the solar system to come? It's like... someone gently 'suggested' it to you in your ear."
"The Star-Eating Cult excels at manipulating people's hearts. They corrupt your soul, plant suggestions in your mind, and make you willingly become their pawn, awakening this behemoth for them. And all they need to do is show up at the last moment and reap the benefits."
"You, from beginning to end, were just a pawn they used and then discarded."
Every word Su Chen uttered was like a poisoned dagger, piercing deeply into Youying's last remaining obsession.
yes……
The thought of destroying everything came so "naturally" and so "at the right time".
I was blinded by anger at the time and didn't think things through.
Looking back now, there was indeed a strange, guided trace in it!
Could it be... really... the Star Devouring Cult?
They not only stole my incomplete map, but also treated me like a fool, tricking me into coming to my death to bring out this giant beast for them.
Just as the Shadow's consciousness was plunged into great chaos and self-doubt.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Warning! Large-scale fleet detected undergoing space jump! Number... Over three hundred ships! Identification code... The Star Eater Cult!"
The radar officer's scream echoed in the bridge of the "Pangu" ship and also reached Youying's ears through the still-open mental channel.
In the distance, a colossal warp portal, radiating an ominous dark red light, suddenly opened in the void.
One after another, Star Eater Cult warships painted with sinister runes and with hideous and ugly appearances.
They swarmed out of the passage like locusts in a swarm!
Their forces were several times larger than the Earth's fleet!
The lead ship was a giant mothership, comparable in size to a small moon.
The terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from it sent a chill down the spines of the Earth fleet, which had just survived a major battle.
The moment this massive fleet appeared, it aimed its cannons at two targets.
One is the Earth fleet.
The other one is the lingering, dying remnant of the Shadow's soul!
"Traitor Shadow, your death is nigh!"
A powerful, condescending, and cruel mental roar emanated from the cult's mothership.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of dark red energy beams, filled with an aura of annihilation, locked onto Youying and focused their fire on him!
This final attack became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It completely "confirmed" all of Su Chen's "lies".
[So it really was true...]
I...I am a complete...clown...
Endless regret, anger, and resentment erupted from the depths of Youying's soul.
He hated the Star Devouring Cult's insidious and vicious nature, and he hated his own stupidity even more!
In the last second before he was completely engulfed by those dozens of dark red beams of light, he made one last move.
He compressed his vast and chaotic memories of his past life as a reborn individual, along with all his resentment and bitterness in this life, into a highly encrypted, untraceable quantum information package.
Then, with his last bit of strength, he launched it at the flagship "Pangu" that had brought him to ruin.
I don't know who you are... nor do I know why you're helping Earth...
But... we have a common enemy...
This... is for you...
Kill them for me!!!
With this final message filled with overwhelming hatred, Shadow's soul, along with all traces of his existence in this universe, was completely wiped out by the Star Devouring Cult's artillery fire.
The "original owner," the "chosen one" who brought Su Chen immense trouble at the beginning of his rebirth, finally met his belated, yet inevitable, end.
The voice of the prophet rang out from the bridge of the Pangu.
"Received a highly encrypted quantum information packet. Source... has dissipated."
Su Chen stared at the space on the screen covered by dark red light, his expression complex.
He knew that Shadow was dead.
And the trouble he brought was only just beginning.
The Star Devouring Cult's fleet descended upon the battlefield, which had just been quelled, with overwhelming force.
More than three hundred warships, like a dark cloud, surrounded the Earth fleet and the huge "dimensional cage".
An atmosphere of chilling gloom, eeriness, and chaos enveloped this airspace.
The hearts of everyone in the Earth fleet, which had just been put at ease, instantly jumped into their throats again.
Having just escaped one tiger's den, they entered another.
Moreover, this wolf is much more ferocious and larger than the tiger from before!
"It's over...it's completely over..."
"More than three hundred ships... Our energy reserves can't even withstand a single high-intensity battle..."
Inside the bridge, the joy of victory that had just been palpable was replaced by a chilling despair.
