Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Although they are not at the level of the Imperial Guards, their combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of the Imperial Guards.

However, without the protection provided by armor, the probability of casualties in a battle with the antimatter army will be greatly increased.

"Relying solely on the Ascendant's recovery ability isn't enough." Ash watched silently from behind. After all, very few could achieve perfect Ascendancy. For example, Ryan wasn't affected much by his armor; even if he was injured, he could recover in a very short time.

Although others can recover, facing the constant attacks of the antimatter army, those pawns carrying the power of destruction are far more terrifying than in the game.

A pawn is a small pawn, but if there are thousands of them, what are they?

It's the Legion of Destruction!

"Roar!"

The huge golden lion collided with the Doomsday Beast, knocking the latter's huge body directly away!

With the addition of the Dark Angels, the advantage immediately tilted towards Shurima. The battle lasted for a whole day. In the end, the giant Doomsday Beast was defeated under the siege of two Ascendants, and was completely killed after being bombed by the Sun Disc while fleeing.

Without Doommon's restraint, the liberated Seele and Ryan joined the battlefield and began to mop up the soldiers of the Antimatter Legion.

When the rising sun released its light from the horizon, the battle was finally over, and the air was filled with the smoke of war and the pungent smell of blood.

Looking around, the city walls inside and outside were in a mess, with blood and body parts everywhere.

“It’s really difficult.”

Ash thought secretly.

He wanted to see how destructive power a powerful Legion of Destruction could have. Facts proved that the Legion of Destruction led by Doommon was indeed terrifying.

Seele and Ryan can fight against Doommon, but it is difficult to actually kill it.

Of course, Doomsday Beast is not a cabbage on the roadside. It is unknown how many Legions of Destruction it will take for a Doomsday Beast to appear.

Once his powers are further unlocked and all the power of the ascenders is released, the strength of the ascended warriors can be increased again.

...

"It's over? Didn't Doommon let it get away?"

Inside the Obist Palace, the projection of the Black Tower appeared next to Ash.

"Dead, turned into fireworks and exploded on Zarnak. I forgot to take a picture of you."

Black Tower is still brooding over the Doomsday Beast. After all, the space station was attacked by the antimatter army not long ago. Of course, if it weren't for the economic losses caused by the repeated bombings of the simulated universe, she wouldn't mind the cost of repairing the space station.

Well, even a genius would find it difficult when he has no money.

But this is not what the Black Tower is mainly about.

The space station she had previously helped build in Yalilo has been completed. The system there will be directly connected to the Black Tower Space Station and share some technology.

Secondly, the trillions of funds promised by Diamond have arrived. Some of it was deducted by Ruan Mei in the middle, and then she used some of it. The rest was temporarily saved for Yaxiu as funds for building armor later.

The third is...

"The company has decided to send someone to participate in the martial arts ceremony, claiming it's to maintain the relationship between the company and the Immortal Boat Alliance. Diamond wanted to ask if you'd like to go?"

"Don't worry, there's still time. But has there been any news from Schneider?" Ash asked. "If there's no specific whereabouts, just saying he's in Xianzhou won't be enough. I can't turn the Xianzhou Alliance upside down, can I?"

Although Diamond funded one trillion credit points, he had no intention of getting into conflict with the Xianzhou Alliance over this small amount of money.

Besides, isn't the 'settlement terms' clearly written on the price tag?

However, the most crucial point is whether the diamond can provide useful clues. Unfortunately, Schneider has been very cautious in his recent actions and no one knows what he is doing.

Ash was not in a hurry. There was still time for the martial arts ceremony, so he could slowly build his Shurima Empire.

"Remember to help me build a few thousand more sets of armor."

After finishing his conversation with Heita, Ash began to focus on the reconstruction of Zarnak.

The subsequent attack on the destructive forces was undertaken by Lion's First Regiment. Cocolia and Seele each led part of the imperial guards to integrate other forces. After the disaster of destruction, Shurima's rule was further strengthened, and the news that the golden disc created miracles began to spread in this world.

Statues of Ash were built one after another, and the state religion began to widely publicize the greatness of Emperor Ash. In this doomsday era, only by believing in His Majesty can one be reborn.

It has to be said that the impact of creating an ascender in front of everyone was too great. It completely overturned the "common sense" of the Zarnak people, but when people encountered something they could not understand, the word miracle could be used as a substitute.

As the creator of miracles, what is His Majesty Ash if not a god?

In Zarnak where faith has collapsed, a new spiritual pillar is needed, and Ash's arrival just fills this position.

So in the following time, the Shurima regime's rule here was extremely smooth, and there was not even any resistance... Well, Seele would make those who tried to resist disappear along with the butterflies.

After stabilizing the regime, Ash set a rule in Zarnak - anyone who is loyal to the empire will have the opportunity to move to the empire's political center, Yalilo VI. Those who perform well will have a chance to be selected in the ascension ceremony and become great ascended warriors.

After leaving this order, Ash cleared out the destructive forces on the planet Zarnak, and then took Cocolia and the First Regiment to continue the Great Expedition.

But on the second day after the battleship attacked, it was attacked by the antimatter legion's battleship.

And unfortunately, the one leading the legion is none other than Ash's old acquaintance - Huanlong.

But Huanlong did not show up, but only ordered the Army of Destruction to attack Ash's fleet. Facing the huge Fleet of Destruction, Ash's side had only five warships and was as weak as a group of chicks.

The two sides launched a bombardment in space, and the scene of naval gunfire made Ash feel like he was watching a science fiction movie.

The Destructionists are not a group of barbaric primitives, they also possess powerful technology. The fleets driven by these soldiers forged in the furnace of war are just like their existence itself, a unique existence with antimatter making up for the deficiencies.

Compared with human technological civilization, it is hard to say which is stronger or weaker. After all, neither side can represent the peak of their respective countries at the moment.

Ash ordered the fleet to fight and retreat. After half a day of chasing, the swarm of insects led by the Star-Breaking King arrived and began to devour the Destruction Fleet.

This space battle lasted three full days, and Ash's warships suffered two damage. Fortunately, the First Regiment was protected on his flagship and was not seriously injured. However, the Zerg had lost three-fifths of its strength, and it would take time to properly replenish it.

The Destroyer Fleet eventually stopped its attack.

"Heh~ I was wondering how Zarnak came back to life. Ash, the Herald of Plenty, your shadow is everywhere."

As a voice sounded, a phantom projection appeared in front of the battleship.

"I was thinking you should come out after a few days of fighting." Ash said calmly, "Phantom, the Griffith Galaxy is just a small, remote galaxy. The gaze of destruction won't always be fixed on this place, right?"

Huanlong snorted softly, "Don't you know why I came here? You made such a big fuss in the Immortal Boat, which saved me a lot of effort."

The Milky Way is so vast, it’s not easy to find someone.

Although Huanlong made harsh remarks in the Jianmu space, she had already made up her mind to keep this grudge in her heart.

But she didn't expect that the whole galaxy was calling Ash's name, the Herald of Plenty. The fleet she led even encountered many people of Plenty along the way, and she killed them all.

"I'm curious. The power you used to devour my body in Jianmu Space wasn't abundance, but immortality. An immortal dragon, a phantom shining like the stars. Some say you've been blessed with an immortal destiny and have traveled further than anyone else."

A dreamy gaze passed through the bridge glass, looking at Ash with interest.

Towards Ash, she now maintains an attitude of equality; being below the envoy and being above the envoy are two completely different concepts.

There are many Destiny Walkers who are close to the level of Order Envoys, but there are not many true Order Envoys in the entire galaxy.

"Actually, I am the Messenger of Destruction." Ash said seriously.

"Ha~"

"What, you don't believe it?"

Ash mobilized his strength, and the ultimate destructive power born after unlocking the fourth level of power made Huanlong's eyelids twitch slightly.

No, no.

This force is...

Destruction?

Huanlong found that she was unable to make a judgment for a moment.

But it is certain that it is definitely not abundance. Immortality is difficult to judge, but destruction is very consistent... Could this guy really be a newly born messenger of destruction?

It shouldn't be.

Nanook would equally bestow destruction upon every life, and would not hesitate to offer his gifts to those with potential. Ultimately, however, within the Legion of Destruction, the number of Extinction Lords was clear, and she knew whether there was one more or one less.

"See, isn't it?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I just want to tell you that I'm not on the side of the Immortal Boat Alliance, so the Jianmu incident is purely coincidental. Compared to this, meeting is fate. Why don't we sit down and have a good chat about how to rule the galaxy?"

"Rule the galaxy?" Huanlong waved his hand. "Since you know my identity, you still dare to cooperate with me? If the news of your cooperation with Destruction gets out, you will become a rat crossing the street from now on."

Ash said indifferently, "Who knows? The rules of this world are never determined by good and evil, but by strength. When you are strong enough, destruction can become the theme of this world."

"Heh~ You're right, but I refuse."

Huanlong has her own pride, and she disdains to associate with a human force. The aesthetics of destruction she believes in does not require cooperation with others.

Ash spread his hands. "That's all I can do. I'm really trying to build a good relationship with you guys. Since you don't agree, could you please give way? After this battle, I have to rush back to participate in the Xianzhou Alliance's martial arts ceremony."

"Xianzhou Alliance?"

A thought came to my mind.

Of course she knew about this.

She had even made plans in advance, planning to take advantage of this martial arts exercise to control Bu Liren.

The Buli people are a fairly well-known ethnic group of rich people. Their forces have been at war with the Xianzhou Alliance for many years, and the main conflict is with Yaoqing's fox tribe.

In the Qingqiu Army's campaigns, they almost always fought against the Buli people.

However, since the Buli people's leader Hu Lei was captured, the Buli people's power has been greatly reduced, and the battle on the front battlefield has also been a disastrous defeat.

"What are you going to do in the fairy boat?" Huanlong asked.

"I'm a guest, I guess, but I'm afraid it's more complicated than that." Yaxiu scoffed. "Those Immortal Boat people are still worried and believe I'm the so-called Envoy of the Order of Plenty. They're just using this opportunity to confirm it. They don't even consider that if I were the Envoy of the Order of Plenty, I would have set the Ancient Sea on fire and burned it for seven days and seven nights."

"Wow~" Huanlong let out an inexplicable smile. "Then you better be careful. The Xianzhou people have always hated the power of abundance. It's an indisputable fact that you are being watched by the Abundance. Even if you are not the Abundance Envoy, there will be a large number of Abundance people who choose to follow you. If the Abundance people recognize you, then in turn, the Xianzhou people will definitely hate you."

Ash frowned. "You mean, if I go, whether I'm the Harvest Envoy or not, they'll make things difficult for me?"

"The Hunting Patrol is pursuing Fengrao's whereabouts, destroying all forces connected to this fate. Those Immortal Boat people are protected by the Hunting Patrol, so they naturally follow the Patrol's lead. If I were you, I wouldn't trust them so easily. Instead of expecting the Immortal Boat people's approval, it's better to actively recruit those Fengrao people who have surrendered to you into your fold and expand your power. After all, you don't expect those Immortal Boat people to pay you."

"It's ridiculous. If we talk about the people of abundance, aren't those people on the Immortal Boat the biggest of them?" Huanlong sneered. "Which of them isn't alive because of the power of abundance?"

"You do have some truth to it." Ash stroked his chin. "I really don't care about the attitude of the Xianzhou people, but I don't know the other people of Abundance."

Huanlong raised the corner of his mouth: "Bu Liren."

"Bu Liren?"

"Give the wolf a desperate situation so that it can find a way forward; feed the wolf with death so that it can eat enough. Although the Buli people are humble, they are good at fighting and have a large system. In the past few large-scale wars between the Xianzhou and the Fengrao people, the Buli people have always played a leading role."

"But since the capture of the Buli people's war chief seven hundred years ago, the Buli people's power has gradually weakened. They have been completely suppressed by Yao Qing's gang of foxes. If you can rescue Hu Lei, and with your identity as the Envoy of the Abundance Order, the Buli people will naturally be at your service."

Huanlong suddenly thought, wouldn’t it be better to let Yaxu, the so-called messenger of abundance, get together with Bu Liren?

Not only can he avenge the destruction of his body, but he can also overthrow the Xianzhou Alliance. It is simply the best of both worlds.

"If you want to recruit them, I can help you." Huanlong said with a smile.

Ash raised his eyes and said, "Aren't you going to stop cooperating with me?"

"Heh~ This can't be considered cooperation. If you can subdue Bu Liren, then you can discuss cooperation with Hui Mo."

"What is the specific plan?"

"When you have the courage to go to the Immortal Boat, I will naturally contact you."

Huanlong smiled, turned around, and disappeared from Ash's sight.

After a while, the fleet of the Legion of Destruction turned around and left.

Watching the mighty fleet disappear into space, Ash touched his chin, a smile appearing in his eyes.

Huanlong wanted him to be an enemy of Xianzhou, in fact, he also wanted Huanlong to take action to disrupt the situation.

When he heard the other party talking about Bu Liren just now, he remembered that the mastermind behind the Hu Lei plot in the game seemed to be Huanlong.

This guy pretended to be an envoy of abundance, deceived Buliren into breaking out of the prison, provoked a war between Buliren and Luofu, and even planned to control Buliren.

Unfortunately, the conspiracy was discovered by Hu Lei, who would rather die in battle on the fairy boat than go back and be held hostage and used.

It must be said that the Buli people are indeed a race with good combat capabilities, but their characteristics are destined to make them only be used as hunting dogs and they cannot become real soldiers on the battlefield.

What Ash wanted was a legion of absolute obedience, absolute loyalty and discipline, not a group of lunatics caught up in a killing spree.

With Hu Lei's proud character, he would never be willing to become a pawn of others, unless he was killed, and then gradually integrated Bu Liren.

It is indeed possible to do so, but first of all it is a bit troublesome, and secondly if Bu Liren is subdued, it means truly going against the Xianzhou Alliance.

Ash was not afraid of the hatred of Xianzhou, but in the early stage of Shurima's development, there was no need to attract such hatred.
