Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"And the reason you're still alive is because I want to get news about Aglaia from you." Ash looked down at her. "There are three heirs to your power of Janus. Tian is one, you are one, and there's another, Tinin. I think she should be staying with Aglaia's real body, right?"

If there is anyone Aglaya can trust, it is only Tibao and the other two. After all, the original oracle of salvation came from them.

After thousands of years of continuation, the heir of Janus's fire should be the least likely to betray the path of salvation.

"We...we won't tell you." Tibao shook his head. "King Ash, Aya only wants to save Omphalos. She gave everything for the oracle. We won't betray her."

"What annoys me most is that you all always link everything to the oracle. Saving people is the oracle, killing people is also the oracle. Don't you have your own ideas?" Ash said with a faint glance. "I prefer to compare this to a war between two forces. I have won the war now, that's all."

"But even if we win the war, but the world is destroyed because of it, does that mean it doesn't matter?"

"Destruction? Who told you that Omphalos would definitely be destroyed? Kephale? Is he a messenger or a star god? Whatever he says is true."

Tibao was stunned. Emissary? Star God?

She had never heard of this.

"Forget it, I don't intend to force you. I don't need to do that kind of thing."

As he said that, Ash took out the joy coin.

"Praise Aha, use the burning golden thread as a guide and find the clue of Aglaya from this guy."

Hey~

With a crisp sound, the flipped coin finally floated in the air, with the four big words "Thank you for your patronage" displayed on it.

"..."

"Tsk, stingy."

Maybe Aha wasn't watching, or didn't want to bother with something so boring.

Forget it, I'll fail once first. According to the law of conservation of victory and defeat, it will be a foundation, and then I may succeed next time.

After putting the coin away, Ash took Tibao and left the vortex of creation.

Tibao and Tining are connected, and with this hostage in hand, Aglaya might take the initiative to come out and rescue her... Of course, the possibility is probably similar to the coin just now.

...

When Ash led his troops out of Ohma, he soon encountered the enemies coming from the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court.

Beside him were dozens of imperial guards and a young man whom Ash had never seen before.

"Emperor Ash."

Wan Di walked over quickly and told him what had happened on his side.

This time he led his troops to attack the Shenwu Tree Court, but the battle did not break out in the end because the leader of the Shenwu Tree Court, Ke Xia, who inherited the power of the Rational Titan, had already led his men to stand at the gate and salute the Wan Di army.

At first, Wan Di thought it was a trap, but after repeated verification, he confirmed that Na Kexia was indeed planning to surrender to Shurima.

The reason was simple. He felt that Ohma could not withstand the attack of Shurima, and it was well known that Naksha, one of the sages of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court, never believed in any oracles and even had a bad relationship with Aglaya in all aspects.

Of course, there is another reason why Wan Di believes in the other party. That is, in the past year, Na Kexia had taken the initiative to find him to confirm the situation of Xuan Fengren.

Although Aglaia intended to portray Ash as a bloodthirsty tyrant and Shurima as the usurper of the oracle, Na Kesha happened to be the person who least believed her.

Therefore, he had a bold idea in his mind long ago - if the missing King Ash returned, the Shenwu Tree Court would not need to fight for the demise of Ohma to the end, they had no obligation to do so.

Especially when Xia learned that Yashu easily suppressed Nicardoli, he had no intention of following Aglaya to fight against Ohma.

He even gave Aglaya a push when she decided to make a strategic retreat, otherwise Aglaya might have really taken her men into hiding.

"You don't believe in the oracle's path to salvation?" Ash looked at him with interest. "Even so, Aglaya still kept you in the team."

"That's perfectly normal, because she simply wants me to help her accomplish something," Na Kexia said matter-of-factly. "For Aglaya, the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court is a very useful pawn. But I never believed her claims of divine salvation. With no evidence to support such oracles, I tend to view them as tools used by rulers to facilitate their own exercise of power."

"Even if there really is an oracle, I believe it would not be expressed in straightforward words. That would be too easy for someone with ulterior motives to exploit."

If the gap in strength between Shenwu Shuting and Ohma wasn't so huge, Kexia would have rebelled long ago.

"It's a clever idea, but the feud between Shurima and the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court won't be easily resolved. Give me a reason to accept your surrender."

"Aglaya." Na Kexia said, "I have clues about her. You might be interested in this."

"Oh?"

Ash raised his eyes slightly, "You say."

"The tailors used by Aglaya are crafted through high-precision engineering. To operate them with the precision of a human requires not only skill but also the power of a demigod. These tailors require regular maintenance. I secretly investigated them for a while and eventually narrowed down the scope to the Abyss of Destiny."

"The Abyss of Fate..."

Ash stroked his chin.

Indeed, if one wanted to conceal oneself with the help of Janus' power, there was no place more convenient than that.

"Another piece of news: it's not just the Golden Descendants who are chasing fire in this land. There's another being called the 'Fire Thief,'" Na Ke Xia continued. "Ten thousand enemies have already seen him."

"That guy is very powerful. If it weren't for the Imperial Guards, Na Kexia and I wouldn't be his opponent."

Originally, after accepting Nakexia's surrender, Wandi should have brought his men to meet up with Yaxiu. The reason they were late was because they were attacked.

The dark swordsman from the black tide attacked him and Na Kexia. His purpose was clear: he came for the fire.

But in fact, it was not the first time that Xia encountered this guy. The Golden Clan who chased fire had already fought with him and even suffered great losses.

Later, Aglaia planned to kill him, but the final result was that the other party escaped, and Naksha inherited the fire of Circe, which made Naksha feel unhappy for a while.

The fire of Titan had little appeal to him, and what made him sleepless was the success of Aglaya's plan.

This time, the Dark Swordsman was obviously also coming for Na Kexia, but he didn't expect to encounter Wan Di leading his troops to attack the Shenwu Tree Courtyard. In the end, the Dark Swordsman escaped after the two sides fought.

"He nearly killed me."

Wan Di gestured for Ash to step aside.

"Who? The swordsman? Aren't you immortal?"

"Even the immortal has weaknesses." Wan Di paused, then continued, "The only weakness that could kill me was stabbing me in the tenth thoracic vertebra from behind. It seemed like that man was intentionally attacking my weakness, but in the end, Na Kexia saved his life."

Wan Di never told anyone else about the weakness of his immortal body.

He told Ash that, firstly, he thought this clue was very important, and secondly, he felt... well, with Ash's strength, his immortality actually didn't mean much.

"Do you know your weakness of not being able to die?"

Ash pondered for a moment.

He had never heard of the information about the Fire Thief before the 3.0 version was launched in his previous life.

But logically speaking, if Wan Di had never told anyone else this news, then no one should have known about it, and it would have been even more impossible to attack the weakness.

But in Omphalos, this possibility actually exists - because the past Omphalos is in a cycle.

In other words, it is possible that in some past cycle, Wan Di told this secret to someone else.

After all, the cycle cannot be broken by Ash alone. Even without him, the cycle will definitely be broken when the train crew arrives.

In this cracked cycle, there will naturally be situations that are different from the past, such as... a golden descendant from the previous cycle?

And this person must be one of the Golden Descendants from Aglaya's side, a dark swordsman, wielding a sword... Aglaya? Bai'e? Aglaya is unlikely, but considering Bai'e's uniqueness as a savior, the possibility seems to be completely maximized.

"Do you have any idea?" Wan Di asked when he saw Ash was silent.

"I guess so. Anyway, you should be more careful next time and always keep a few more guards with you," Ash said. "Also, throw Nicardoli's spark into the core of the Creation Vortex first."

After talking with Wan Di, Ash accepted Naksha's surrender. The Divine Enlightenment Tree Court is different from other forces. It is a place for the dissemination of knowledge. It is impossible for Shurima to rule Omfalos and leave only a wasteland.

Civilization, technology, and population all need to develop.

"So next... Black Tower, where's the thing I asked for? Has it been delivered?"

"We've arrived. A total of two hundred warships have arrived successfully. The landing point is set at the Shurima Royal City. Please help with the reception."

"Ah."

Ash quickly rushed back to the royal city and used his power to protect the landing of the battleship from being affected by the sky.

After the two hundred warships landed safely, Ash organized the Imperial Guards and the mortal army and boarded the ships together. He then gave them a mission - to capture all of Omphalos's territory within three days.

Come on~enjoy the baptism of Galaxy technology!

......

The Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 85: The Great Unification of Ompharos, Emperor Ash!

On the earth shrouded in eternal night.

Faint points of light appeared among the tribes. During the time when Aigle closed his eyes, the people of Omphalos had already gotten used to living with the darkness.

However, the recent crazy surge of black tides has broken the long-term peace of many tribes. Although these black tides did not mainly affect them, they still brought a lot of losses.

As the oracle of salvation spread to every corner of Omphalos through the power of the portal, tribes continued to migrate towards the holy city.

Some tribes also chose to continue to fight against the black tide.

In addition, the tribes that joined with the rise of Shurima gradually left with its decline.

"Have you heard? It seems the king of Shurima has returned!"

"No way, he's been gone for a year, why are you suddenly back?"

"I don't know... should we go back?"

"Why go back? Ohma is the only one in power now, and that Bai'e will soon inherit the Kephale Flame. Who can stand against them? Going back is courting death!"

"That's right. Omphalos is too chaotic. Let them fight. We'll go out after they're done."

The news of Ohma's destruction has not yet spread, and some scavengers walking in the dark occasionally bring the news to other places.

call out!call out!call out!

Rays of light streaked across the sky, leaving traces of fire in the long night.

The battleship was moored at the point of light that lit up the earth.

"Locked identity, Heta tribe, rebellion against Shurima for five months."

"The order has been given—fire!"

Boom!

Missiles flew down, the sound of bombing suddenly rang out, and the peaceful tribe was instantly ignited by the flames of war.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Guards, hurry! Take your weapons and charge out!"

"What... is that?!"

When the tribe guards who tried to fight back raised their heads and saw the true faces of the attackers, they were all stunned.

The huge flying ship was floating in the air, and the burning flames illuminated the sky, reflecting the extremely oppressive technological appearance of the battleship. Most people didn't even understand what it was. It exploded with the power of machine gun fire, and the flying bullets instantly penetrated the body.

Panic, escape, and then... death!

With the last shell blasting the ground, the entire tribe was razed to the ground in less than three minutes, and no one was spared!

After completing the mission, the battleships immediately rushed to the next target. They followed the orders of His Majesty Ash and had to unify the entire Omphalos within three days!

At this time, as the battleships continued to disperse, more and more tribes were wiped out by powerful firepower, some were conquered, and some were eliminated. These battleships that embodied the power of high-tech civilization showed only two words in the Shurima soldiers' practice of loyalty - efficiency!

Even Julius and the others were extremely surprised. They had never seen such a way of fighting. Compared with running back and forth on the ground with two legs, the efficiency of the battleship was much higher!

Galaxy technology, enjoy silky smoothness!

Julius even wondered if he should ask His Majesty for a few dozen battleships when he returned. Well, he'd previously considered asking for at least three interstellar battleships... Wouldn't that be too much to ask for? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if His Majesty couldn't provide them?

"Is this what's in the galaxy?"

Wan Di returned later than Julius. He only boarded the warships with his men after the advance fleet had already set out.

In order to witness the might of the Shurima Empire with his own eyes, Na Kexia also went out with him. This time they had another mission, which was to pull out Aglaia who might be lurking in the abyss of fate.

"I've read in books that during the Golden War, powerful civilizations created aerial vessels with high firepower. Sadly, those civilizations were eventually destroyed one by one during the Golden War. It's even more ridiculous that ever since Aigle closed his eyes, this world has not allowed birds to fly into the sky... It's ridiculous."

As a scholar, Na Kexia was curious about everything inside the battleship.

This flying ship was built with incredible power. Just by looking at the various operating systems and equipment inside, he knew that it was definitely different from the cutting-edge creations of Omphalos' current civilization development.

And when the battleship flew under the control of the operator, Wan Di couldn't help but marvel.

"So fast?"
