The Last Sentinel

Deep within the dark matter universe, in the luxurious cockpit of a spaceship, a bright signal floated out.

"Ding!"

"Radar indicates that life forms have entered the dark matter universe in the Orion Galaxy's solar system, which you requested to track. Their ships have entered the Grand Line."

"Really? Hahaha!"

The familiar yet grating laughter would make Ye Feng blush if he were here.

It's Charlie!

Charles Darwin.

Unlike Charlie's disastrous escape on Earth, the current Charlie is dressed in a dignified black warlord's coat, wearing a trident-studded white military cap. His iconic gorilla face has gained a touch of majesty, with a few traces of sleazy and vulgarity, giving him a sense of pride in having risen to prominence.

Charlie looked up at the massive star map radar, on which dark golden solar winds roared and surged, and a spaceship with a burning crimson solar sail sailed alone.

"Lord Charlie, is this your nemesis, the Sentinel?"

A blonde princess, dressed in a long blue dress, with skin as white as jade and wearing an ice crystal crown, stood quietly behind Charlie in high heels. Her gentle swan neck rested lightly on Charlie's shoulder, exuding indescribable tenderness.

Snapped--

Charlie whirled around and slapped the blonde beauty hard across the face with his gloved left hand!

The princess was stunned by the slap and didn't know what to do.

Charlie swung his hand back and slapped her hard again, leaving two handprints on her cheeks.

The princess lowered her head in grievance and began to sob.

Charlie's eyes were icy as he spoke, each word deliberate and clear: "First, I hate it when people appear beside me without a sound. It makes me feel like they're trying to assassinate me!"

"Secondly, my nemesis and I are not people like you, a hothouse flower, are worthy of mentioning! You are not worthy to point fingers at me and my nemesis like this! You are a lowly nobleman from Sabit, not a true Ironblood Star Warrior! Your pointing fingers at him is an insult to his Sentinel!"

"Finally, get out!"

"No one is allowed in my command center without my permission!"

The princess covered her face and fled as if she were escaping.

This scene was witnessed by an old man standing nearby. The strategist, feeling sorry for her, said, "Lord Charlie, Princess Helen almost gave up her right to inherit the throne of Sabit for your sake. Aren't you being too harsh on her?"

Charlie turned and stared at the white-haired, white-robed old man. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The old man bowed his head and said, "This subordinate dares not."

Charlie paced back and forth, his eyes sharp as lightning. "No one is worthy to order me around! You are not, and neither is Helen! Except for the War General of Sabbit Star and the Lord of Sabbit Star, I do not obey any person or any power!"

"As for Helen giving up the throne to choose me, haha, that's precisely where her wisdom lies."

"Because she knew very well that even if she didn't give up the throne, in the end she would just be a puppet king, unable to control the fleet below, let alone control the army like her father."

"And she chose me. I am the most outstanding young generation among the Sabitians. I have invaluable combat experience against the most ferocious demons on Earth. I am the only chosen one who can restrain Earth!"

"Without me, the Sabbitians will undoubtedly lose the next war with Earth!"

"Everything I'm doing now is for Sabit Planet, for the destruction of Earth. Do you understand what I mean?"

The old man bowed his head and said, "Understood. Do we need to send men to deal with this ship?"

"No!" Charlie waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the solar sailboat. "I'm not even sure if that ship is my nemesis, the Sentinel. If it's that rat Jerry, it'll be a waste of manpower!"

The old man asked, "Aren't we going to do anything?"

Charlie laughed, "Go, send a message to everyone on the Grand Line: a dark matter spaceship has emerged from the Centaurus Solar System, carrying one hundred kilograms of calcite (Cf)!"

The old man was taken aback. "Sir, a Type I civilization like Alpha Centauri couldn't possibly have 100 kilograms of calcite (Cf)! No one will believe this rumor!"

Charlie looked at the old man and said, "Then tell me, how can we get all the guys on the Grand Line to gang up on him?"

The old man frowned, then his silver-white eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Simple, just tell everyone that the Heart of the Three-Body Problem is on this ship."

"The Heart of the Three-Body Problem?" Charlie paced back and forth, arms crossed. "This thing really exists!"

The old man spoke eloquently, "Back then, the army of Sabit Star besieged the Trisolaran Nebula. The last ruler of the Trisolaran Nebula died in battle, and the two successors had a disagreement about the war. The prince advocated surrender, but the Trisolaran princess wanted to resist. In the end, the prince took away the Trisolaran power staff, while the princess took away the Trisolaran heart."

"Possessing the Power Staff means controlling the key to all the technology of the Trisolaran Nebula."

"The Heart of the Three-Body Problem is directly connected to the hearts of all the Trisolarans. It is said that the Trisolarans' master can know the inner thoughts and secrets of any Trisolaran through the Heart of the Three-Body Problem."

"The princess escaped persecution from her elder brother, the prince, thanks to the Trisolaran Heart, and disappeared without a trace. Even the Sabit aliens could not find her."

Charlie said, "After all this talk, I still don't understand why others need the Trisolaran Heart! You're really getting old; you can't even get to the point."

The old man was stunned and before he could react, Charlie punched him in the face.

The black dark matter energy spread out, and in an instant, the old man's entire body exploded into countless dark matter particles, truly vanishing into nothingness!

Charlie rubbed his fist and continued, "Can anyone tell me why the Heart of the Three-Body Problem is so coveted?"

Behind them, a somewhat inexperienced guard said, "Reporting to the commander, the Heart of the Three-Body Problem is the key to the Three-Body treasure. Legend has it that the Three-Body civilization accidentally entered the ruins of a fallen advanced civilization, and the ruins left behind by that civilization are enough to allow a civilization to leapfrog through levels three and four, reaching the level of a level five civilization! And a level five civilization is already the limit that the surface universe can reach!"

Charlie turned to look at the guard. "The Sabite aliens are here for this key too, aren't they?"

The guard replied, "Yes, sir! The current civilization level of Sabit is 3.5. If we can obtain the Heart of the Three-Body Problem, it will be a tremendous opportunity for Sabit, enough to transform the Sabit people into a star-domain-level civilization!"

Charlie chuckled coldly, "A 3.5 civilization clashed with a 1.0 planetary civilization, and the result was the humiliating Treaty of 1999! Sabit Planet, nothing special."

The guard said, "Sir, that's because the planet Cinnabar in Alpha Centauri has cheated! Their spaceships and powerful beings that appeared out of nowhere completely defy the laws of the universe. Back then, on Sabit—ah!"

Charlie delivered another punch, shattering the guard in front of him.

"I hate it when people disagree with me," Charlie grinned. "Someone, tell everyone on the Grand Line that the Trisolaran Heart has appeared, right on this ship! Let everyone scream and cheer!"

A voice came from outside the door, "Yes, sir! I'll take care of it immediately!"
