The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.
Chapter 824 Go and find out what happened there.
Killing without shedding blood—that's the method of the high-ranking members of the Universal Star Council.
With a seemingly plausible reason, they casually crushed a powerful rising force into oblivion.
Even if they are sold out, they still have to be grateful to the parliament.
However, Ashmerkrin also realized this method.
They were naturally unwilling to accept this.
The years of silence did not extinguish their gambling instincts; instead, it made their ambitions even more twisted and insane under suppression.
This time, the changes in the Dark Star System are likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to turn the tide.
Perhaps they saw a terrifying power that did not belong to this dimension, so they wanted to possess it.
Even knowing that this might lead to their own destruction, they decided to take the final gamble!
If they win the bet, they can completely break free from parliamentary control and even take over.
Thinking of this, Crobbick slammed his glass on the table, startling the two envoys.
"So... what we need to do now is flip their table before they reveal their cards!"
The meeting room fell silent for a moment.
One of the envoys mustered his courage and stepped forward, carefully considering his words before saying, "Your Excellency the Supervisor is wise!"
"So where should we start our investigation? The Dark Obsidian Galaxy is completely shrouded in black mist; not even a fly could get in. We can't exactly send a fleet to force our way in, can we?"
"Who said we were going to investigate the Dark Star System?"
Crobbick looked at him like he was an idiot: "Since that place is already a dead end, forcing our way in is suicide. Let's change direction and find the real source that triggered all of this."
As he spoke, Crobbick raised his wrist and pressed a few buttons on the micro-terminal.
The holographic projection switched instantly, and a clear resume appeared in mid-air.
The person in the photo is Anya, the heir of the Lucia family and the former governor of the Libra Nexus.
"When you were reporting just now, you said that the old guys in Ashmerktin explained that Anya was terrified by a few insects because the fighting on the front lines was intense, so she lied about the military situation and activated the Divine Realm broadcast?"
Crobick pointed at the information on the holographic projection, sneering repeatedly: "This is simply the most clumsy lie I've heard in the last hundred years. That old man Terence's ability to fabricate stories is getting worse and worse."
"Look at her resume yourselves. Anya Lucia. Graduated first in her class from the College of Teachers."
"That's Ashmerkrin's most elite and brutal military academy! Every student who graduates alive from there is a monster of unwavering resolve."
"After all, the graduation exam there involves throwing students into a desolate planet teeming with alien beasts and making them survive for a month! Not only do they have to survive, but they also have to come out with the head of their prey."
"After graduation, she was directly assigned to the Libra Nexus, and in just three years, she rose from a junior officer to the position of governor."
"What did she rely on? She relied on wiping out more than a dozen large Star Sea Hunter groups on the edge of the Star Sea, genuinely building her military achievements by stepping over the corpses of countless enemies, not by relying on her family background!"
At this point, Crobbick's voice rose: "More importantly, she is the Lucia family's chosen successor as the next head of the family!"
"Would that old fox Terence entrust the family's future to a fool who would lose his mind over a few insects?"
"If Anya were truly that kind of cowardly, reckless, and brainless good-for-nothing, she would have died at the hands of the Star Hunters long ago!"
The two envoys were speechless when asked the question and could only nod frantically like chickens pecking at rice.
Therefore, there is only one conclusion.
Crobick crossed his arms and stared at Anya's resolute eyes in the holographic projection.
"Anya activated the emergency broadcast for the entire Divine Realm not out of panic. She was genuinely facing a massive crisis capable of destroying the entire Starfall Divine Realm. She was issuing a warning to the entire realm!"
"And in that broadcast, she mentioned a very crucial place name."
"Starfall Rift Abyss".
Upon hearing the name, the two envoys exchanged bewildered glances, clearly having no concept of this remote place.
Crobbick didn't expect these two good-for-nothings to know anything; he continued his analysis on his own.
"The black mist in the Dark Star System is the result, while the Starfall Rift is very likely the cause."
Why was Anya there? What did she see? Why did the clash of the gods spread from the Starfall Rift to the Dark Star System?
"Once we figure out what exactly happened in the Starfall Rift, we'll be able to piece together the whole story."
"That will reveal what shady cards Ashmerkrin and his gang of gamblers are hiding under the table!"
At this point, Crobbick's eyes were filled with excitement. He turned around and looked at the two envoys who were still somewhat dazed.
"You two, didn't you feel bad about accepting Terence's generous gift? Now, I'm giving you a chance to make amends."
Upon hearing this, the two special envoys immediately stood up straight and loudly declared, "Please give your orders, Superintendent! We will do our utmost!"
"You won't die a thousand deaths, but if you mess this up, you two really can die."
Crobick walked up to them, lowered his voice, and said in a chilling tone, "Find out what exactly happened in Starfall Rift half a month ago, at all costs."
"Also, keep a close eye on that woman named Anya. She's already been removed from her post as governor. Does Ashmerkrin think he can hide her like that? Naïve."
"I need to know exactly who she met each day, where she went, even how many glasses of water she drank!"
"Report to me immediately if she leaves the Divine Realm in any way!"
Crobbick patted the gaunt envoy on the shoulder, a light pat that nearly made the man lose his balance.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"
The two special envoys, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, scrambled out of the meeting room.
They were terrified that if they were even a second late, the supervisor would cut them into pieces.
The door closed again, and the room returned to silence.
Crobbick stood alone in front of the holographic star map, looking at the Starfall God Realm marked in red, and raised his wine glass gently towards the void.
"Terrence, Terence, you bunch of old gamblers, do you really think you can get away with this by hiding behind a veil of black fog?"
"This time, I'll see just how much trouble you can cause."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
