Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"Can you keep it under control?" she asked.

Jiang Jiu turned his head and met her gaze.

Black Tower's purple eyes looked exceptionally beautiful under the not-too-bright lights of the laboratory. He stared at them for two seconds, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"What do you think?"

Black Tower didn't answer, but simply withdrew his hand, picked up his phone, and glanced at it.

"It's so noisy at the company," she said in a flat tone, revealing no emotion. After thinking for a moment, she felt bored. "Ajiu, do you want some pudding?"

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds.

Then I remembered that the day before yesterday, Black Tower suddenly decided to cook and blew up a kitchen and two Black Tower figurines, and then casually made a burnt-flavored cake with a black tower figurine filling.

Then she remembered that not long ago, she suddenly craved a bowl of steaming hot handmade noodles, and seriously refused to help, insisting on cooking it herself. As a result, because she used some kind of high-speed rotating device to stir the egg mixture, the bowl exploded due to the high speed, and the egg mixture splattered all over the kitchen...

The battle ended with the sacrifice of a small black tower doll, which was attacked by food.

"..."

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I want to. I'll go with you."

The big black tower raised an eyebrow: "Just wait and see."

Jiang Jiu: So the kitchen is going to suffer again?

……

Of course, while the space station is very cozy, the rest of the place is quite chaotic.

After Hua finished speaking, there was a brief pause in the comments section on the screen, indicating that he couldn't hold back his emotions.

Interstellar Peace Corporation was ecstatic.

[Interstellar Peace Company (Official Account): It's here, it's here, it's here! She's brought out the Hunting Grounds! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? I've been waiting since the last storyline ended, and I'm still waiting now!]

[Interstellar Peace Company (Official Account): Now, we've finally waited for this.]

[Topa: I knew it. The Celestial Ship's trump card is always the Hunting Clan. It was in the previous storyline, and it's in this one too. They always pin their hopes on the Star God, always expect the Emperor Bow Master to save the day, never think they're wrong, and never think they'll lose.]

[Gold Sand: Isn't this a good thing? Her mentioning the Hunting Grounds means the Hunting Grounds are about to make a move. If the Hunting Grounds make a move, how far behind can the Amber King be?]

[Topa: That's fantastic! Who wouldn't want to see the King of Amber in all its glory again?]

[Jade: Don't get too excited yet. What if she's just bluffing, trying to scare Jiang Jiu away with the hunt? Don't forget, the Immortal Boat was just humiliated. Don't speak too confidently.]

[Topa: So what if the Amber King doesn't step in? We may not know the details of the celestial boat in the footage, but don't we? We've already won.]

[Shuju: What if the hunting party really comes?]

[Cang Gang: A second round of the God Battle? That would be even better.]

[Zhenzhu: Actually, the reason Marshal Xianzhou brought up the Hunting Star God at this moment was probably a psychological tactic. She didn't really want to summon the Hunting Star God; she just wanted to buy Xianzhou some room to maneuver by emphasizing that her side possessed a Star God.]

[Opal: But Jiang Jiu didn't care at all. He had seen how the Hunting Party made its choices before. In the previous storyline, the Hunting Party chose the Immortal Ship, and then what?]

Then the hunter's arrow was caught by the bounty, then the hunter was smashed to pieces by the Amber King's hammer, and then the hunter's fate was sealed.

[Cang Gang: ...Then, the Amber King arrived.]

Opal: Yes.

The company's bullet screen comments suddenly changed; just a moment ago they were guessing whether the Hunter would make an appearance, but now they're all waiting for Amber King's hammer blow.

Gold-plated amber: All for the King of Amber!

[Jadeite: All for the King of Amber!]

Opal: All for the King of Amber!

[The densely packed phrase "All for the King of Amber" is omitted here.]

[Fireworks: Here it comes again! Can the company please stop spamming the screen every time Amber King is mentioned? It's so annoying!]

On the Starry Sky Train, March 7th, holding a camera, stared intently at the sky and couldn't help but complain.

[March 7th: How dare she threaten me at a time like this... Doesn't she know who Jiang Jiu is? Doesn't she know how many Star Gods are standing behind Jiang Jiu?]

[March 7th: The hunters' fury is terrifying.]

[Star: She probably doesn't know. If she did, she wouldn't have brought up the hunting trip to scare people.]

[Himeko: Perhaps it's just a gamble that he'll hesitate, a gamble that Jiang Jiu will be afraid.]

Danheng put down his book and looked at the sky for a while.

[Dan Heng: From Marshal Xianzhou's perspective, she had no choice. The allied forces were at the city gates, the defenses were crumbling, and morale was low. She had used up all her trump cards. All that was left was the Hunting Card. She didn't know if it would work, but she had no other options, so she had to play it.]

[Himeko: But she didn't know that her opponent had already seen through her cards.]

[Jing Yuan: ...Marshal, it was really inappropriate to bring up the Imperial Bow and Fate at this time.]

The hunting trip was brought up at this time.

It's really hard to say whether I want the hunting expedition to end.

The immortal boat feared that the hunt wouldn't take place, but it also feared that if the hunt did take place, it would repeat the mistake of the last time...

In the footage, the flames from explosions on the battlefield continue.

Reports from the coalition forces continued to come through the communications channel.

But in this starry sky, on this collapsing celestial vessel, there is only a confrontation between two people.

Jiang Jiu listened to Hua's words and remained silent for a long time.

Then he laughed.

"Hunting...?" he repeated. "Oh, do you think I'd be afraid?"

Hua looked at him, her brows slightly furrowed.

Jiang Jiu took a step forward and said softly, "Marshal Hua... when will you realize this...?"

"I didn't come here to kill anyone."

"On the contrary, I'm here to save you."

Jiang Jiu stared into her eyes and said, word by word.

"If you're really going to drag the whole world down with you as food for the insect plague, you might as well—"

He paused, his voice chillingly cold.

"Die at my hands first."

[Yao Guang; came to save us...? But this doesn't seem like saving us, it's more like... forcing us.]

Yao Guang's expression was complex.

If this is considered "saving," then it's far too extreme.

The people next to them didn't dare to say anything.

[Qingque: General, what you're saying... I think I understand now.]

[Fu Xuan: What do you understand?]

[Qingque: Now you know why the Immortal Boat can never win... Lord Taibu, it seems we accidentally picked up a knife. In villainous scripts and novels, villains are always like this—stubborn on the surface yet unrepentant, then they get used as speed bumps by the heroes...]

Fu Xuan: ......

[Fu Xuan: The most important thing for you right now is to throw away all those weird novels you've been reading.]

At General Yaoqing's residence, Feixiao was at a loss for words.

This person could have crushed the immortal ship, could have simply destroyed it without saying a word, like in the previous storyline, decisively and without leaving any room for error.

But he didn't.

[Feixiao: He keeps saying he came to save us, that we're food for the insect plague... Rather than be eaten by the insects, we'd rather die by his hand.]

[Feixiao: What kind of rescue is this? Isn't this also killing?]

[Fireworks: What if it's saving the world?]

[Soaring Through the Sky: Isn't the Immortal Ship a member of the universe?]

[Fireworks: Getting anxious~]

I thought Hua would die at Jiang Jiu's hands like this.

But just before Jiang Jiu made his move, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.

The Jade Palace Immortal Boat activated the Cloud-Gazing Mirror.

The coordinates were sent out of the immortal ship and shared with the star god behind the immortal ship, the hunting star god, Lan.

As the signal appeared, Jiang Jiu's hand paused for a moment.

Everyone paused for a moment as well.

Everyone knew exactly what this signal meant.

That was a distress signal.

It was the final call from the Immortal Ship Alliance to the Star God they had worshipped for thousands of years, made in their desperate situation.

The allied artillery fire was still roaring, and the star core rain was still pouring down, but everyone seemed to have something choking them, and the cacophony suddenly seemed very distant.

Then, the live chat exploded.

[Fireworks: Here it comes, here it comes, finally here! Cloud Mirror, the Celestial Ship's distress signal! I knew it! How could the Celestial Ship not call for help? Waiting to die isn't the Celestial Ship's style. This is going to be good!]

[Silver Wolf: What are you getting so worked up about? The company and Immortal Boat haven't even said anything yet.]

[Fireworks: Because this scene is finally about to reach its climax! The Hunting Star God! The one who was smashed to pieces by Amber King in the last storyline! Aren't you curious about what He will choose this time? Will He continue to protect the Celestial Ship, or... hehe~]

Jiang Jiu followed the direction of the Cloud-Gazing Mirror and looked into the distance. He spoke calmly.

"Marshal Hua, do you remember what happened in that video? Do you think... if a war of gods really breaks out, do I have a star god backing me up?"

Hua paused for a moment, his memory returning to the video that had been declared a forgery.
