Edge of the Apocalypse

Mainne breathed heavily. On a journey as far as the Mubes Domain, on a planet on the verge of destruction, he actually met the Emperor of Dubia. There was no worse encounter than this. When he thought of his wife and children in Adahua Planet, Mainne couldn't help but feel a heavy heart. He probably wouldn't have the chance to go back. But even so, he had to try to get Lucy back.

"Your Highness, listen to me carefully. I will try my best to buy you time. If I say leave later, Your Highness will not care about anything. Annan and Angeloni, you two must escort Your Highness away."

Angeloni nodded, but Viscount Annan suddenly rushed out. Then, Origin Energy's light shone from the inside out. The light on her body was so brilliant and gorgeous, so bright that it was too unnatural, giving off a decisive smell. Seeing this light, Angeloni and Mainne knew that Annan was burning his own Origin Energy and was planning to self-detonate!

The moment Annan and Mainne crossed paths, Mainne could clearly hear the woman say in an incomparably gentle voice, "It's good to meet you."

Then she rushed to Frius desperately, like a burning meteor.

"Annan!"

Mainne felt a pain in his heart, but he knew that it was irreparable. He could only clench his teeth and catch Lucy pouncing towards the starship's cabin door. Annan had already decided to sacrifice himself, so he could not waste her efforts.

"Everyone board the starship!"

Beneath the highlands, Night Demons began to climb up the mountain wall. These creatures, who no longer had any intelligence to speak of, now relied solely on their instincts to act. The high ground base reactivated the shield, reviving their interest in the base, and these pitch-black creatures struggled to climb up, all of which were exposed to the Baals. On the Baltic starship, the interim starship commander sneered, "Shoot down these filthy things and don't let them disturb His Majesty's interest."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw two Adahua Planet starships flying out of the exit of the base. Immediately after, a pillar of light exploded from the base, followed by energy spreading in all directions, flattening the facilities of the base that had lost the protection of the shield one by one. The shockwaves of the explosion even shook the Baltic starships until they raised their shields.

The commander came to his senses and looked at the distant starships on the screen. "What are you waiting for? Shoot them down!" He cried.

The starship weapons platform rose one by one. A moment later, a large amount of light rain chased after Adahua Planet's two starships. The bird-shaped starship had originally rushed upwards, but helplessly, it had to bend down to lower its altitude. Behind them, the Barbarian black ship rushed over, chasing after the two starships and bombarding them endlessly.

As for the high ground base in Adahua Planet, it was completely abandoned, and more than half of the base was turned into ruins by Annan's self-detonation. Smoke billowed in the ruins. Suddenly, a gust of wind pushed the smoke away. Frius stretched out his hand and flicked the dust on the armor on his chest. He snorted. He looked up and saw that the starship on both sides had already turned into tiny black dots. Felius raised his hands and a circle of black light appeared from the soles of his feet. The black light stretched out like a curtain and finally enveloped him like a black ball of light. The ball of light flew into the air and flew away in an instant.

A moment later, circles of grey and white air waves appeared in midair, marking the trajectory of the ball of light.

Adahua Planet's bird-like starship shuttled between lightning and earth fire, and the Baltic black ship chased after it. All kinds of weapons on the black ship were basically open. Countless scarlet beams of light shattered space, creating fireballs around Adahua Planet's starship. Even though the two starships had their shields open, they still couldn't give the people on board a sense of security.

On the first starship, Mainne said in a low voice, "This is not the way to go. If we can't get rid of them, we can't leave this planet."

The voice of another starship warrior rang out on the communication channel. "Sir, we are willing to stay behind and cut off the rear."

"That's useless. Our weapons are too far apart. Even if you stay behind, we won't be able to stop you for much longer." Mainne shook his head. He could roughly imagine that even if the other ship was cut off, the black ship could still destroy the target and catch up with them. The black ship looked ordinary, but both its speed and firepower exceeded the specifications that the black ship should have.

Lucy, who had been silent for a long time, said in a low voice, "Go to the ancient city of Sulaka and use the complicated terrain there to get rid of them."

Hearing that, Mainne's eyes lit up and he nodded, "That's not a bad idea. Moreover, the sandstorm in Sulaka is also a good place to shake off the pursuers."

Immediately, the two starships changed course and headed towards the ancient imperial city of Sulaka. With this chase, more than half of the planet flew by. As they approached Sulaka, the starship's alarms rang out, and a crew member shouted in sweat, "There's a high-energy response approaching from behind us!"

"Put the picture on the big screen." Ordered Mainne.

On the big screen, the scene behind the starship appeared. One could see that the Bals' black ship still hadn't planned to recharge and was still chasing after them. Right behind the black ship, a black dot rapidly expanded. A moment later, it surpassed the black ship and plunged into the rain of light. The black dot continued to expand. It turned out to be a pitch-black ball of light. Although he couldn't see what was inside the ball of light, Mainne's heart sank and he said, "Frius is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black ball had already brushed past one of the starships. The two of them brushed past each other, and the starship's shield immediately disappeared. The black ball smashed into the left wing of the starship, causing the unbalanced hull to immediately spin towards the yellow sand below. Mainne looked out of the porthole and saw a fireball rising from the ground behind him. Then the ship they were on shook violently, and the crew shouted, "The shield disappears, the shield disappears!"

The light in the cabin immediately turned dark red. Mainne looked at the porthole in front of him and saw that the black ball of light had already advanced a lot. After condensing in the air, he rushed back. Mainne roared, "Descend!"

The driver forcefully pressed down on the operator, causing everyone in the cabin to feel as if they were pouncing forward. The bow of the starship plunged down, and the front porthole suddenly turned from the sky to the expanding earth. The black ball of light narrowly missed the stern of the starship, and an engine exploded with fireballs and debris. The starship dragged a wisp of smoke and fell to the ground. Just as it was about to crash into the ground, the starship took a large turn and almost flew up obliquely against the sand. After rushing for nearly a kilometer, the flame started to go out. Finally, it landed on the ground and rushed several hundred meters. Finally, it stopped. It was right at the edge of the city wall in Sulaka.

In the sky, the ball of light slowly descended and landed on a stone statue guarding the Imperial City. The light curtain fell, revealing Felius' silhouette. The Black Emperor smiled as he looked at the imperial city in front of him and whispered, "Hide and seek? Alright, let's just treat it as an entertainment show before Orfasis arrives. However, you can hide far away. Otherwise..."

He stretched out his hand and pointed in any direction.

Eight black glowing surfaces suddenly rose from the edge of the imperial city. The glowing surfaces were closed like pillars, and in the next moment, their entire bodies shone with light, turning into a thin pillar of flames that shot up into the sky. The waves of fire surged and the hot wind blew, causing the yellow sand to spread like a wave. After the pillar of fire disappeared, a pitch-black gap appeared in the imperial city. From the gap, it was unknown where it led to the underground.

The moment he was buried, he almost destroyed a platform block in the Imperial City.

"If you die too quickly, then it will be boring."

Today, the Mubes Domain was destined to be unpeaceful. After Adahua Planet's starship arrived, a spatial passageway slowly opened in space not far from Evernight. After the passageway opened, a Baltic starship slid out of the passageway. The starship was only of ordinary specifications, and it didn't look special. However, Alan was currently in the command room of the starship.

He could already see the Eternal Night Star in front of him from the porthole. Looking at the planet, Ellen felt somewhat restless for some reason, as if something terrible was happening on that planet. Alan suppressed his worries about Lucy and ordered the starship to move towards Evernight.

In the blink of an eye, the starship entered the atmosphere. After a bumpy journey, the starship entered the planet's interior. Lightning struck the starship's shield from time to time. The collision between the lightning and the shield caused the command room to flicker brightly. Alan narrowed his eyes and tried to contact Lucy, but she did not reply. Fortunately, the two of them had already made sufficient preparations. If they couldn't contact each other, then Alan could track her through a signal transmitter that Lucy had with her. Alan searched his brain for a special frequency. Soon, the signal appeared. Alan pulled out the map of Evernight and confirmed the coordinates of the signal. The starship in midair immediately turned around and flew towards the ancient imperial city.

Not long after, one of the crew members reported, "Your Highness, we've found a starship signal. It's a Dobian starship."

"Why is Dobia's starship on planet Evernight?" Alan's heart sank, and he had a feeling that his premonition had come true.

At this moment, a communication request was received. A Baltic commander appeared on the big screen very quickly. He said in a slightly arrogant tone, "Report your identities."

"This is His Highness Allen, His Majesty Sbernak and His Majesty Frius' allies." An officer on the ship replied.

The commander relaxed a little and said, "So it's His Highness Allen, but our Emperor is playing a game for fun. Please don't approach him for the time being."

Ellen narrowed his eyes and said, "Is His Majesty Freus here?"

"Yes, Your Highness." The commander added: "His Majesty is chasing after a member of the Adahua Planet royal family. It is best for you to stay away from him in case there is any misunderstanding."

Ellen's heart skipped a beat, member of the royal family? Who else but Lucy? "Full speed forward!"

"Your Highness, this is..."

The big screen suddenly split into two. Alan retracted his saber-shaped palm and coldly said, "Are you deaf? I want you to move forward at full speed!"
