Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Ash agreed to Robin's request, "I'll ask Odie to release Sunday later."

"Eh?"

Mockingbird looked surprised. "So... you agree?"

"Otherwise, aren't you here just to plead for him?" Ash chuckled, "Or do you want me to lock him up forever?"

"Of course not, it's just... Your Majesty, aren't you worried about my brother? After all, he did that kind of thing before, which caused a lot of trouble for Pinocchio." Mockingbird was actually prepared to be rejected. After all, she had nothing to do with Ash. Despite this, she still wanted to do her best to get a better result for Sunday.

Before coming, she also consulted Xing, because the train crew knew Ash, and it would definitely not be a good idea to ask for help, but teaching them how to get along with the Emperor is also a science.

As a result, Xing said, "Praise the emperor with a sincere heart and your wish will come true."

The robin seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

Finally, March 7 said, "The Emperor doesn't like hypocritical people."

If the Emperor likes you, and you say you want to become an ascender and believe in the Emperor to gain eternal life, that is not impossible.

"This is indeed a problem. Even if I allow Sunday to move freely in Pinocchio, I'm afraid he'll be treated poorly. It would also be irresponsible to the people of Pinocchio... How about this, let him come to the Empire and help me."

"Isn't this...not good?"

"I think it's good. After all, you don't want to see discrimination and retaliation at Pinocchio on Sunday, right?"

"...Too."

The robin had thought about this before.

There will always be someone who is angry, and even if he is released on Sunday, Pinocchio will not be able to tolerate him anymore.

And Yaxiu just thought that Sunday had a good character and strategy, and was a talent who could contribute to the empire.

As for loyalty, you can also say to Sunday, you don’t want anything to happen to your sister, right?

The relationship between these two siblings is better than that of most hypocritical couples. Ash doesn't need to deliberately threaten anyone. He can even ask Pinocchio to fully support Robin's singing career afterwards. With Sunday's intelligence, he naturally knows what to do to make the right choice.

Although Robin hadn't considered this much, she still wondered if letting her brother go to Shurima to do great things was a bit risky. After struggling for a moment over whether prison food or Shurima soldiers were better, Robin suddenly realized the choice wasn't hers. All she could do was say "Thank you, Emperor," and depart with a grateful heart.

"What a nice girl."

Ash immediately took out his cell phone to contact Odi and asked him to secretly send Sunday to the battleship.

Odi was very efficient. The Sunday people had already arrived before the Harmony Hall was finished.

"Emperor..." The former head of the Oak family looked at Ash with confusion in his eyes: "Why did you choose me?"

"Your sister just came to see me."

"Mockingbird... I'm sorry, Emperor. I am a sinner. Please allow me to be exiled or imprisoned until the end of my life."

"What a straightforward decision." Ash smiled. "Don't you really want to work for Shurima?"

Sunday shook his head: "My personal safety is not important, but being involved in the dispute with Xianzhou and the company will bring unknown dangers to Mockingbird."

"Well, that's a very frank attitude, but have you ever thought about this? If you keep hiding, who will those who hate you vent their hatred on when they can't see you?"

Ash's words made Sunday fall into deep thought.

"You should understand, this world isn't as rosy as it seems. Even the chorus of song is inevitably accompanied by noise, and danger lurks in unseen places. Therefore, only when you are powerful enough will no one dare to retaliate against you, or the robin. As long as you remain in Shurima, the more powerful Shurima becomes. I guarantee that no one will dare to take advantage of the robin."

Sunday:"..."

"As for whether you believe in order or harmony, it doesn't matter to me. You can even form a powerful army of order according to your own ideas, as long as you can do it."

"A chorus of voices is bound to be accompanied by cacophony..." Sunday murmured softly, "Perhaps this is the essence of music, Emperor. You are a ruler who can control people's hearts. Indeed, as you said, I seem to have no other choice."

"Don't be so discouraged. Perhaps you will soon find that the stage of Pinocchio is too small, and Shurima is the place where you can truly unleash your passion."

Ash smiled and walked to the edge of the battleship deck, motioning Sunday to come over as well.

Looking down from above, you can see the lights on the Huichangshi and the figure under the spotlight. The girl who returned to the stage after a short absence is expressing her feelings at the moment through her singing.

"Look, this is pretty good, isn't it?"

Sunday looked at the robin on the stage with a soft look in his eyes.

"As you said."

......

Sunday's joining became an unexpected gain of this trip to Pinocchio. The day after the Harmony Ceremony ended, Ash was ready to go back.

However, before leaving, he advanced the dividends of Pinocchio for the next three years to Odi.

There's no way. The empire is really poor now. The Black Tower has been almost drained by him. According to Screw Gum, that guy has owed loans for nearly an Amber Age. Ash feels a little guilty for letting a genius fall to this point.

As for Ruan Mei, most of her personal funds were invested in the experiment. The cost of creating the Star-Breaking King Worm was not low before, and now she has created genetic warriors for the empire. Ash has not given her funds for some time, and she has been paying for it herself.

Otherwise, why would Ash be so eager to target Pinocchio?

However, 40% of the shares are dividends, and in the next three years, even if calculated based on the lowest income value in recent years, it is still an astronomical figure.

Although Odi is rich, asset valuation is not equal to cash. If he were to take out so much money, his industry would collapse.

In the end, the two of them bargained, deducted a small amount, and used supplies to make up for most of the remaining money, barely getting what Ash had expected.

“This time the harvest is pretty good.”

After reaching an agreement with Odi, Ash boarded the battleship with Wan Di and others.

Tingyun still has to stay here to deal with the follow-up matters of Pinoconi and handle the affairs here on behalf of Shurima. Once things stabilize, he can leave it to his subordinates to take charge.

"Chief Ao Di really cried." Tingyun's projection covered her mouth and chuckled. She thought of Ao Di's old face with tears in it just now.

Even for the alfalfa family, this time it was a huge loss.

"It's good to just watch him cry... but from now on, the main supply of Shurima's supplies will be to him."

"Ah la~ This good news will probably make Odi cry."

Ash chuckled, "That guy will be fine as a partner. The empire also needs some friends with benefits. Tingyun, I'll leave things here to you."

Odi is a good business man.

This is what Ash is looking for. Sometimes, when loyalty cannot be guaranteed, the relationship of interest is more solid than the so-called friendship.

As long as Shurima does not fall, people like Odi will not betray easily.

Because by cooperating with Shurima, you can gain much more than by cooperating with other forces.

Otherwise, why do so many people like to open up new land?

The growth of Shurima is actually a pioneering journey.

In this regard, Odi did a very good job. Ash didn't need to care about his character, as long as he made sure the interest relationship was stable.

"How was it this time?" After finishing his conversation with Tingyun, Ash saw Wan Di standing alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass of the battleship, staring blankly at the starry sky. "Is it more exciting than Omphalos?"

"How should I put it? I feel like I have the strength but can't use it." Wan Di crossed his arms across his chest, frowning.

"That's normal. You haven't seen their methods before. You'll get used to them after a few more experiences. Sometimes fighting doesn't necessarily involve face-to-face fistfights."

"That's why I don't like it. Maybe I should be like Julius and charge into battle on the front lines."

Ash smiled faintly: "If you really can't get used to it, I will transfer you there. But Wan Di, you are the king of Xuanfeng and a ruler. You have to help me with some things other than fighting."

"Then I'll try my best." Wan Di spread his hands.

He is not stupid, it's just a matter of personal preference.

While the two were chatting, the battleship had completed a jump and left the Asdena galaxy and entered an unfamiliar galaxy.

"Ok?"

Ash suddenly realized that something was wrong.

At this time, the Little Black Tower said, "Emperor, the energy radiation in this galaxy is somewhat abnormal. The space storm index is rising sharply, and it has seriously affected the jump."

"What's going on?" Wan Di asked.

Ash didn't say anything, but looked into the distance through the space glass. He saw the huge and dazzling sun in this galaxy, and the light emitted from its surface became more and more dazzling.

The strong light brought about a terrifying space storm. The scorching wind and waves instantly swept the entire storm. The huge amount of radiation emitted by the sun was emitted to the surrounding planets. Large celestial bodies were ignited by this force and turned into huge meteorites in space.

boom! ! !

The hot wind blew, and suddenly a vortex of fire rolled up on the sun, sucking in all the surrounding stars!

The interstellar battleship also flew towards the sun under the influence of this terrifying suction force.

Chichi~~~

A sound similar to burning flames came from the surface of the battleship.

"Emperor! Something happened! Help quickly, or I will fall into the fire pit!" Little Black Tower shouted.

Ash's figure flashed, appearing outside the battleship. He raised his hand, condensed a giant sand spear, and shot it at the sun—whoosh! The golden sand spear broke through the heat wave and hit the sun head-on, piercing it straight through the center!

Then the power of the life sand exploded from the interior of the sun. With a loud bang, the sun of this galaxy was directly transformed into countless stars of various sizes in the explosion.

boom! boom! boom!

These celestial bodies flew in all directions with flames, some crashed into other planets, and some flew towards the battleships, but were blocked by Ash's power.

He ignored the exploding sun and fixed his gaze on the center where the sun was located. From there, the terrifying destructive force continued to spread towards this side.

"The Emperor of Shurima is not bad."

A voice came from the center of the destruction.

"Lord Extinction?" Ash raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

There is no direct conflict between him and destruction.

But the destroyers are all a bunch of lunatics, they create conflicts if there are none.

"Come to kill you."

"There must be a reason, right?"

"The messenger of destruction should not be subject to anything other than the will of destruction."

He cast an indifferent look in the flames, and as soon as he finished speaking, the scorching fire rolled up a larger vortex, turning into a tornado in the universe and attacking Ash!

Fierce! ~

The flames lit up the space and collided head-on with the golden sand. The collision of the two forces created a shocking air wave that crushed all the celestial bodies along the way!

Boom——

"Ahhh! Praise Lady Black Tower, we need to get out of here quickly!!"

In the bumpy battleship, Little Black Tower quickly made a series of crackling operations, "Emperor! Emperor! We are going to warp!"

"You go first."

Bathed in golden energy, Ash stared at the existence within the terrifying destructive force. From the previous fight, he roughly determined the other party's identity - one of the seven emissaries under the throne of destruction, 'Foehn'!

......

Just as Ash was fighting Foehn.

Far in orbit above Yalilo VI.

"Hey Dawn, nice to see you at last."

Kane boarded the Phalanx and saw Dorn lost in thought on the deck, so he walked over quickly and said, "You're so busy! I've made appointments with you several times, but you haven't even heard from me."

"Is there something wrong? I'm thinking about the defense of the Elro Galaxy. If it's not an important matter, let's talk about it after I'm done." Dorn said without turning his head.

"That's the place. That's what I wanted to tell you... My brother, I know you're very talented in attack and defense. You proved it in the last war, but I saw your recent deployments, and I don't think they're appropriate."

Dawn turned his head.

He knew that Kane was not a reckless man who only cared about charging into battle. He even knew that Kane had talents in many aspects that he could not match. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by his mother to be the first to meet the Emperor.

But when it comes to defensive arrangements, he is not convinced.

"where?"

"Come, let's talk slowly."

Kane opened a virtual map, which showed a galaxy area in the Griffith galaxy. This area was located on the only way for the Great Expedition and was the strategic core area for the Empire to break the blockade of the Immortal Boat.

It can be said that as long as an iron bucket defense can be set up in the Elro Galaxy, the Empire can use it as a foundation to conquer the entire Griffith.

Ash gave this task to Dorn, which is why the latter has been working day and night these days.
