...As for Miss Snow Apocalypse, who was being discussed by the two "old folks," she was currently sitting in the conference room of Destiny Sky Island, watching the performance of a certain micro-management master, Bronya.

"The battlecruiser position has moved forward 50 meters! Yes, yes, yes! Let's take them down!"

Of course, there were also Kiana and Jiuxiao and the others cheering from the sidelines—the nameless RTS game, hastily produced overnight by the chosen worker, Miss Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, had now been delivered to Bronya's hands.

After being thoroughly outmatched by Bronya in the first few matches, in the following games, these opponents, who were connected to the starship's autonomous AI, seemed to become smarter and gradually put up a good fight against Bronya.

"How's the effect... Jiuxiao?"

Seeing Bronya being watched, Miss Snow approached Miss Jiuxiao, who was monitoring the backend data, and asked her a question...

"Well... the results are indeed quite good... these combat AIs learn very quickly... but I don't know where they picked up this bad habit from, they especially like to micromanage firepower allocation—if you ask me, just use direct firepower coverage, do they even know what the theory of superior firepower is?"

"...Not bad. Since I'm not apprenticed to the transport captain, it gives us an advantage in the performance, so it's not a big problem for me."

Guess what I'm going to use to beat you up.jpg

"I will sing your praises through the eternal night, whether I am in the endless starry sky or on the vast earth."

"Behold this magnificent procession, glory is an innate destiny; those arrogant and rampant ants will surely submit to your merciful sighs."

"What's wrong with you now, Snow—"

"While I know this huge fleet of interstellar warships is really cool, could you please tone it down a bit..."

Miss Jiuxiao, who was catching up on sleep in the space station, looked listlessly at Snow, who seemed to be starting again, and suddenly felt like she had a headache.

"How come I never noticed before that you, like your old man, loved reciting nonsensical things..."

"That's wrong, it's part of the plan."

".....Claws."

Knowing he definitely wouldn't be able to catch up on sleep, Jiu Xiao gulped down a steaming cup of black coffee beside him, intending to perk himself up...

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, this is so bitter—did the professors say anything about the current status of that celestial being's stargate?"

With a troubled expression, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at the quiet star gate in the distance, which seemed to have been quiet recently.

"Since the last announcement of the coordinates, there has been no further activity—Einstein and Dr. Tesla found the program that broadcast the coordinates and removed it."

"However, the people in the heavens use a different programming method than we do, so the two doctors may need to continue translating the remaining code... Would you like to?"

"Where is everyone???"

Snow turned around and found that Miss Jiuxiao, who had been sitting on the sofa, had disappeared without a trace. Only the half-finished cup of coffee, still steaming, told him that someone had once been there.

"...I was just saying."

Seeing Miss Jiuxiao running even faster than Wendy, Snow could only purse his lips in disapproval.

Miss Snow, are you free now?

Just as the blonde girl was muttering to herself, a communication from Einstein arrived on Snow's terminal.

"Doctor? Is there something you need?"

"Stargate has made another move."

As Dr. Einstein finished speaking, the stargate in front of the space station's floor-to-ceiling window, which had just been stagnant, began to operate. The blinding red light made Snow momentarily wonder if it was about to self-destruct...

Meanwhile, the autonomous fleets drifting near the lunar orbit quickly responded, advancing towards the stargate in a semi-encircling formation.

"Doctor, what's that stargate doing...?"

Seeing the sudden commotion at the stargate, Miss Snow frowned and asked Einstein a question on the other end of the communication line.

"That stargate is drawing energy from the Honkai energy reactor on the moon that functions for it. Dr. May and Prometheus 17 are calculating the size of the object to be transported based on the energy drawn."

"So...it's coming?"

"I think so, Miss Snow—Kiana and the others have already boarded the Supreme Destiny, and I hope you are ready for battle as well."

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Doctor—even if they send over some kind of monster called a combat moon, we’ll smash it.”

"It's best if it's not Miss Snow—if they really did teleport a warship the size of a planet, its own gravity well would probably be deadly to both Earth and the Moon."

"Nothing is ever certain...who knows, Doctor."

"In short, this situation is not impossible. If it does happen—Miss Snow, you and Kiana will have to destroy that planet as soon as possible."

"I understand... Smash a ball, huh... I think Uncle Joyce should have a lot to say about that~"

"Spare me—I did that so my lines would sound more powerful..."

The topic suddenly came up with a certain first Herrscher, which immediately led to the person in question complaining in the communication.

...

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

"How long has that stargate been like this?"

Jiuxiao stayed on the Hyperion after its space route modification was completed, his brows furrowed as he watched the stargate that showed no signs of stopping.

"Uh... Commander Jiuxiao! Six hours have passed, and the Star Gate is still uncontrollably absorbing the surrounding Honkai energy!"

"Is this supposed to teleport something, a planet???"

Upon hearing this, Miss Jiuxiao's eyes widened, and she immediately dialed Snow's communication terminal.

"Hey—Snow, that stargate..."

“I know, Jiuxiao—Dr. Mei and Prometheus 17 have just calculated the results. The target is expected to be a satellite slightly smaller than the moon. All personnel at the lunar base have now been evacuated.”

"...The problem is, Snow, we don't have the weapons to annihilate a planet."

After a moment of silence, Jiuxiao pointed out the problem.

"We don't have planet-destroying weapons... but we have people who can shatter stars, my dear Miss Jiuxiao—come work overtime with me~"

"You piece of shit, don't you have a conscience?"

"No, just imagine the massive combat satellites of the people in the sky creaking and groaning in our hands, wouldn't that be awesome?"

"Laxatives, only that idiot Herrscher from the Fu Hua family would find it satisfying, while Miss Jiuxiao would only feel exhausted—so when is that bastard coming over? The sooner I'm done, the sooner I can go back; I want to catch up on my sleep..."

"It'll be soon. Look, the stargate is about to stop absorbing energy—get ready to give those space locusts a big surprise!"

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

Typically, celestial beings use "scout planets" to search for other civilizations in the universe. In order to avoid being detected by other advanced civilizations, they disguise themselves as ordinary asteroids, and their destination is set to a star or a black hole.

During their journey, the reconnaissance forces on the 'scout planet' will continuously observe the planets along the way, searching for any potential civilizations. They will then react differently depending on the level of the civilization.

For planets with lower levels of civilization, reconnaissance forces will transmit their coordinates back to the front-line base. The intensity of Honkai energy is positively correlated with the level of civilization's development, so these planets need to be harvested only after they have matured.

Conversely, those in the heavens also fear more powerful civilizations. Once they encounter one, they will sever all communication with the scout star, quickly reach their destination and self-destruct, and avoid the star system where that civilization resides for decades.

Of course, the current situation is an exception for humanity in this world... In fact, the beings in the heavens have already placed them in the category of civilizations that should not be provoked...

However—the stargate facing the Federation of Humanity was moved from another human civilization by their Grand Marshal, Miss Snow… This completely unrecorded substitution led the people hidden in the sky behind the gate to make some incorrect inferences…

The local civilization is fiercely resisting, but it can be suppressed. A strong reinforcement force needs to be sent to destroy the local civilization's resistance.

And so—a combat satellite carrying the celestial army set off menacingly, and what awaited him?

The roar of the dark matter and Honkai energy weapons carried by the Human Federation's autonomous fleet undoubtedly delivered a resounding slap to these celestial forces poised for battle.

But to the commander of the celestial forces, these things seemed less important—at the center of that human fleet, an incomparably dazzling and enormous "golden spear" was slowly taking shape...

【shit】

This was probably the only reaction the commander of the celestial beings could have upon seeing that golden object...

"Heaven has fallen!!!"

.....

"What did your good daughter throw out... Otto?"

Wearing sunglasses, Joyce, who witnessed the massive explosion from the ground, nudged his old friend beside him with his elbow.

"Um... if I'm not mistaken... that thing looks like a one-to-one projection of the Imaginary Tree...?"

"Ghost...what have those aliens done to deserve this...?"

"If you ask me, we should set off fireworks since it's almost Chinese New Year."
