From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 791 Awakening Blueberry
Amber stared at Franklin and couldn't help but admire him in her heart.

This man did surprise him a little - even though he was in a high position and had picked up many of the bad habits of those in power, the passion in his heart to die for his beliefs had not completely cooled.

Well, at least it's about seven or eight degrees.

Franklin's eyes were as firm as iron at this moment, which was in sharp contrast to the panic, helplessness and anger on the faces of the top leaders of the Renaissance Alliance around him.

Amber stood in the center of the banquet hall, staring straight at Franklin. The leader of the Renaissance Alliance was trembling slightly at the moment, but he still stood straight, his eyes burning and resolute.

The terminal projection in his hand clearly displayed the detonation procedure of the tactical nuclear bomb. The red UI flickered slightly in the air, and every flicker made the surrounding Renaissance Alliance leaders tremble.

"Franklin, I have to admit that your awareness is beyond my expectations."

Amber nodded slightly, with a tone of sincere appreciation that made Franklin on the opposite side frown slightly.

"Even though I've taken a high position, my passion has not completely cooled down, which is great~"

As Amber spoke, she glanced at the pale, panicked senior members of the Renaissance Alliance around Franklin.

Compared with the determined gaze of their leader, there was only helplessness and fear in the eyes of these people. Some of them even looked around secretly looking for a possibility of escape. The sharp contrast made Amber couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Look at the people around you, Franklin." Amber shook her head and sighed, "They talk about ideology but they only care about business. They are not prepared to work with you to create a new world. Do you really believe that you can build the ideal 'New Federation' with these people?"

Franklin did not respond, but his eyes became more determined at this moment. He held his terminal tightly in his hands, ready to die together with the top leaders of Atlas Group at any time.

To be honest, Amber had to admit that this was indeed a 'ruthless move' to deal with a high-level psychic.

Even as a seventh-level psychic like him, he couldn't be 1.2% sure that he could survive a close-range nuclear explosion with a yield of million tons. After all, he himself had never tried the "exciting way" of resisting a nuclear explosion with his physical body.

And just as Franklin said, he could not guarantee the safety of Isabel and other Atlas Group executives behind him.

"I think you've gone a little crazy, Franklin."

Amber took a step forward, a rash move that made the people around her gasp.

Except for Isabel who still looked calm and her thoughts were unclear, the top executives of both the Renaissance Alliance and the Atlas Group knew that Amber was a person who did not play by the rules and sometimes even did crazy things.

And now these two "madmen" are right in front of them, engaging in a "century-level" confrontation. No one knows whether Amber's actions will directly stimulate Franklin to detonate the nuclear bomb.

But Amber didn't care what others thought. He just moved a little closer to Franklin and continued:

"I think at this moment you no longer care about what the world will be like after the nuclear explosion. You just want to drag us, or you want to drag me, down to hell with you."

"If this is the only way to prevent you from controlling the future of mankind, then... like I just said, it's all worth it." Franklin clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with almost crazy determination.

Amber looked at Franklin deeply and suddenly chuckled. He turned to look at Isabel and nodded slightly to her, then looked at Franklin again.

"I must admit, Franklin, your determination really reminds me of the 'young man with great ideals' on Rubion V. It's a pity that the people around you are just a bunch of good-for-nothings and speculators. How can you establish a new federation if you associate with such insects?"

These words were like a sharp knife piercing the self-esteem of the Renaissance Alliance leaders present. Their faces turned from white to red, almost turning into the color of liver. Some clenched their fists, some gritted their teeth, but no one dared to refute.

Because Franklin, who was holding a nuclear bomb detonator beside them, had already deprived them of the right to be angry, they were afraid that they would accidentally irritate Franklin and end all this early.

Amber ignored the others and continued, "The good news is that we can make this end in a dignified way."

When he finished speaking, Isabel calmly took a step forward, and her slender fingers gently stroked the surface of the ring. An imperceptible pulse spread in the air. At the same time, her emotionless voice sounded as clear as ice crystal:
"Long night, broken, echo, loved ones, frozen, cracked, and ended."

She paused slightly, looked at the person behind Franklin, and then a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Good morning, Blueberry."

The moment the last word fell, Franklin felt a chill on the back of his head - a cold gun barrel was against his head.

The senior leaders of the Renaissance Alliance and the Atlas Group except Amber and Isabel all gasped after seeing this scene. All of them widened their eyes in disbelief, their gazes fixed on the familiar figure behind Franklin.

Franklin froze in place, the terminal in his hand shaking slightly. He turned around tremblingly and saw Eleanor's icy profile.

"Eleanor?" His voice was hoarse and almost unintelligible.

Eleanor didn't look at him, but stared straight into Isabel's eyes. Her tone was so cold that it seemed to come from another world:
"Deep sleeper agent 'Blueberry' reports to you from the Atlas Group Intelligence Center."

The banquet hall suddenly became eerily silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the core figure who had always stood by Franklin's side.

Hall's lips trembled, Cole clenched his fists but dared not act rashly, and the reactions of others were similar at this moment.

No one could believe what was happening before their eyes - Franklin's most trusted partner and one of the most senior veterans in the Renaissance Alliance was actually a deep-lying agent of the Atlas Group.

"The moment you gave me the task of deploying the nuclear bomb, you had completely lost to Franklin."

Eleanor's voice was still cold, without a trace of the sweetness and warmth of the past.

"That 1.2-megaton nuclear bomb is indeed right under our feet, but it has never been equipped with a real detonator. The plug-in in your brain is just a fake program I designed myself."

As Eleanor finished her words, a series of neat metal collisions were heard outside the banquet hall, and then the door and windows of the banquet hall were knocked open at the same time. Dozens of combat bodies and even more autonomous combat machines poured in from various entrances, accurately and quickly controlling everyone present.

In places that the Renaissance Alliance could not see in the banquet hall, more and more mechanical units emerged from all over the space city - those combat elements and autonomous combat machines hidden in the consumables warehouses, structural layers, and maintenance areas were all activated by the Immortal Legion at this moment.

Under the personal arrival and command of Baninger and others, all the defenders in the space city were disarmed before they could react, and then every corner of the space city was quickly and silently occupied.

Franklin's body shook and he almost fell to his knees. His face was paler than the gray wall. His once firm eyes were now bloodshot, revealing unbelievable despair.

"Eleanor, you betrayed me, why?"

he asked Eleanor hoarsely, his voice filled with indescribable pain.

"Yes, I betrayed you, Franklin, but I never betrayed the Renaissance Alliance - the real 'Resurgence Alliance' is that you yourself have betrayed it."

Eleanor finally turned to look at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "I watched with my own eyes as you betrayed your original ideals step by step."

At the same time as these changes occurred in the banquet hall and the entire space city, the space outside the space city was also completely overturned. The Atlas fleet hovering at the mooring point, led by the super flagship "Infinity", suddenly launched a large-scale electronic warfare attack.

Compared with a direct attack that causes more noise, this silent and unforeseeable attack method is obviously more difficult to guard against. The fleets of the Renaissance Alliance near the orbit of the capital star are like paralyzed cosmic beasts. They are completely controlled before they even have time to light up their weapon systems.

Then, in a series of large-scale space fluctuations, the Atlas Group's support fleet also jumped out of hyperspace. Their appearance - especially the appearance of that huge artificial celestial fortress, completely made the Renaissance Alliance's fleet lose the idea of ​​resistance.

In the VIP viewing room of the Crown Fortress, Norton II, who saw the Empire's strategic fortress arrive at the Federation's capital system, was so excited that he almost fainted.
In the banquet hall, Amber walked towards Franklin, who was kneeling dejectedly, and looked down at the once high-spirited leader.

"You see, Franklin, this is the difference between us - you always underestimate the strength and control of your opponent."

Franklin was trembling all over at this moment, his eyes gradually became empty and desperate. He slowly raised his head and looked at Amber with red eyes:

"Mr. Amber, even if you catch all the top leaders of the Renaissance Alliance today, the entire alliance will fall apart in an instant and all you will get is a huge mess."

Amber burst into laughter upon hearing this, and her laughter echoed in the banquet hall, carrying a sense of unprecedented comfort.

"Franklin, you misunderstood two things."

He squatted down so that he was at eye level with Franklin.

"First, I have never thought of destroying the Renaissance Alliance, not now and not in the future. To be honest, if you hadn't set up this 'Hongmen Banquet', if some people in the Renaissance Alliance hadn't racked their brains to deal with us, Atlas, things wouldn't have developed to this point."

Then, Amber raised her voice a few notches so that everyone present could hear it clearly:

"Second, you, or everyone present, are wrong to think that the Atlas Group is incapable of handling such a 'mess'."

After saying that, Amber lightly snapped her fingers, and Lilith, who had taken over the entire banquet hall's backstage system, immediately controlled the holographic projection device to unfold a huge star map in the center of the banquet hall. Everyone present could see at a glance that this was a three-dimensional star map representing the area controlled by the Renaissance Alliance.

"Well, now that we have come this far, I will stop pretending. It is time to close the net~'Rectification Protocol' activated!"

The moment Amber finished speaking, although everyone present had not yet figured out what was going on, they all realized that something seemed to be happening.

Just when they were puzzled, Amber's voice sounded at the right time, answering questions and resolving confusions for everyone in the Renaissance Alliance.

"You all think that the Atlas Group can't handle such a big 'mess', but I have to tell you with regret that we can really handle it. Right now, every planet, every colony satellite, and every space city in the area controlled by the Renaissance Alliance, those areas that we have jointly built, have been deployed with a sufficient number of combat elements and autonomous combat machines in advance, and they should be taking over your key facilities now."

Franklin and the others opened their eyes wide after hearing this. They finally understood the gap between the two sides - it was even bigger than they had imagined.
"You--you planned all this from the beginning." Franklin almost lost his voice.

Amber shook her head. "No, Franklin, this is just a backup plan, or a safety guarantee. If you understand your position, if you continue to cooperate and develop with the Atlas Group step by step, I will never activate the 'rectification agreement'."

He paused, his tone filled with sincere regret: "It's a pity that after you gained a little power and strength, you can't wait to get rid of the current order. Eh, I don't understand, is it so unacceptable for you to cooperate with the Atlas Group?"

Amber looked around, feeling deeply moved at the leaders of the Renaissance Alliance who were once so high-spirited and high-spirited. Now, they all looked as pale as death and as if they had lost their parents.

"Franklin, you don't have to worry too much." Amber said gently, as if she was comforting the children in the psychic training class. "The Atlas Group does not intend to disband the Renaissance Alliance. On the contrary, I will conduct a thorough 'reorganization' of you and put the truly capable and visionary people in their proper positions."

Franklin could no longer listen to Amber's words at this moment. He knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground and his head lowered.

His shoulders trembled slightly, not sure whether it was because of anger or despair. When he raised his head again, the light in his eyes had dimmed. The once high-spirited young revolutionary had completely disappeared in the long river of time.

"You win, Amber," he said hoarsely, "You won from the beginning."

Amber didn't respond, but motioned to Isabel and Eleanor, then turned and walked towards the exit of the ballroom.

At this moment, Franklin finally collapsed. He roared and pounced towards Amber, but was easily subdued by two combat elements.

He struggled, tears and anger intertwined on his face: "What do you want?! Control humanity? Build an empire? Become a new dictator?!"

"No"

Amber paused and tilted her head slightly.

"I just want human civilization to last forever."
