Star Iron, after using the mod to make the Big Black Tower dark, the game became real

The robin stood in front of the mirror, holding a fashionable and beautiful little dress. It is a girl's nature to love beauty, and she always buys new clothes every time she goes shopping.

This is also a good thing for Jiang Wei, as he will choose some embarrassing underwear, maid outfits, and fun uniforms.

"Is the oak-smoked Swiss roll delicious?"

Xi Lian watched curiously as Liu Ying packed up some cakes.

How come she remembers that this cake didn't have very good reviews?

"Isn't it delicious?"

Liu Ying looked puzzled.

"I'll try it."

Xi Lian took a bite and forced herself to swallow the cake in her mouth.

It's hard to describe how it tastes; not only is the flavor bland and dry, but the fruit pieces are deliberately made to resemble sawdust, making the taste difficult to evaluate.

She forced a smile.

"good to eat."

"Firefly's tastes are a little different from those of ordinary people."

Jiang Wei didn't care about this matter.

Different places nurture different people, so it's perfectly normal for tastes to differ.

The flavor of an oak-smoked cake roll is not directly related to the ingredients used in its preparation.

It is a high-end dessert, priced similarly to or even more expensive than other cakes.

Robins take some time to choose their clothes.

Jiang Wei looked Xi Lian up and down; among the girls around him, Xi Lian was the youngest.

This refers to physical age.

Petite girls easily evoke a protective instinct in people, while simultaneously making them want to hold and play with them.

He pulled Xi Lian aside, picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate, and put it in her mouth.

Watching Xi Lian's cherry lips open and close, chewing the fruit between her pearly teeth, Jiang Wei leaned closer.

He silenced her soft lips.

"Ugh."

Who is this?

Xi Lian chuckled inwardly, letting Jiang Wei take what he wanted, snatching the fruit along with its sweet juice.

Five minutes later, Jiang Wei released her, and Xi Lian was panting heavily.

"I didn't believe you before when you said you were a big bad guy, but now that the facts are in front of me, I have no choice but to believe it."

"feed me."

"In public...and other girls are watching."

"They didn't see it. March 7th and Firefly are very greedy and have already gone to buy snacks. Robin is trying on new clothes. Big Black Tower is even more amazing. She rarely goes on dates with me and prefers to have me all to herself for several hours a day."

Jiang Wei knew them all like the back of his hand.

"You're so busy."

"That's right, hurry up and feed me."

After taking advantage of Xi Lian, Jiang Wei's favorite thing to do was to teach Xi Lian all sorts of knowledge.

Her petite figure is her defining characteristic. Whether it's a party game, a casual date, or a feeding game, she makes him feel a little guilty, as it's incredibly delicious and enjoyable.

Xi Lian reluctantly agreed to his idea.

"We agreed on a date, and everyone had things they wanted to do, but I ended up becoming your game."

"How could that be? Don't you like it?"

"Like it~"

Xi Lian gently held the fruit in her mouth, and after a brief moment of shyness, she got into the mood, humming a song as if casting a delicious spell on the fruit, and bent down to feed it to Jiang Wei.

The girl fell into his arms, her scent as tranquil and lingering as the fragrance of wildflowers in the fields.

Jiang Wei enjoyed the fulfilling feeling of the date, and when the time was almost up, he received a communication from the Great Black Tower.

Upgrading the Imperial Scepter can now be put on the agenda.

……

The second benefit of the second stage of the Cataclysm, "Infinity Paradox," requires the Empire to have a planetary computer with a computing power exceeding that of the Imperial Scepter by 150%.

It's not simple.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei already had a scepter.

Going from 0 to 1 is difficult, but going from 1 to 2 is easy.

There is no need to create a supercomputer to modify and upgrade the scepter until it meets the requirements.

"Calculations show that this scepter is closely related to the Iron Tomb. Nanuk probably guessed that we would modify it next, which is why he dispatched the antimatter legion in such a hurry to take the scepter back."

The star map showed that hundreds of millions of antimatter legions surrounded the Empire.

A ghost fleet composed of dreamlike spirits intercepted the legion, subsequently triggering a localized war.

The Great Black Tower then frowned.

"Not necessarily. If He truly wanted to reclaim the scepter, He could have done it Himself. The philosophy of 'destruction' is very proactive; Nanook could have easily descended personally, but He didn't."

Thinking about the purpose of the Star God is meaningless.

Like today's geniuses, who know the "first cause of life" and speculate that Vasubandhu once tried to erase life.

But if we ask Daheita, Ruanmei, and Luosigumu, how accurate is this answer?

They would all say: I don't know.

Not only is the correctness of the answer uncertain, but the probability cannot even be stated.

"Forget about all that. The scepter can't be returned anyway. The important thing is to transform it into the astronomical computer that the Empire needs as soon as possible."

Daheita recently made a guess, and after a few seconds of deliberation, his expression became somewhat hesitant.

"Jiang Wei, you know about the 'Grammer Republic,' right? The Empire currently shows signs of becoming it."

“I think Nanuk is playing a game of poison. His attitude toward the Empire is too strange. He’s sending antimatter legions and other forces into the Empire.”

“The legion’s forces are constantly being lost, and our Dream Spirits are growing stronger with each battle. As long as Nanuk isn’t stupid, he can see that without sending messengers or taking action himself, he cannot take down the Empire.”

"But you have seen what He did. He did nothing but drop the messengers and legions like chess pieces and watch them perish."

"The Empire has fallen into the same predicament as the former Republic of Grammer: we are enemies of Nanuk, enemies of 'destruction,' and then we attempt to transcend destruction on the path of destruction."

Why were the Grammer cavalry able to defeat the Breeding Swarm?

Because the Ironclads absorbed the Zerg's genes, technology, and tactics, they became a different kind of Zerg.

The Great Black Tower speculated that the empire was also undergoing changes.

"It's not strange."

Jiang Wei had long sensed some of the tendencies.

"The fate of the Empire is infiltrated by the aura of 'destruction.' Nanook is attempting to destroy us through a philosophy of destruction, or for us to destroy His legions. If the former, the Empire will perish; if the latter, Nanook believes He possesses a sword sharper than the legions—the Empire itself."

"What a beautiful thought."

The Great Black Tower sneered.

"Honestly, the destruction of the Rising Star and the creation of the Iron Tomb, as I suspected, were aimed at 'Harmony' and 'Intelligence.' But was He really not joking?"

The Great Black Tower does not refer to how foolish Nanook's actions were.

Instead, it starts by thinking about the underlying philosophy of destiny.

"Destruction wants to kill 'Intelligence' through treachery? Really? Unless the Venerable One has a death wish, I can't think of any reason why Nanook could succeed."

The Great Black Tower shuddered at the thought of what the sage might have done; she had no idea that Onphalos had escaped the sage's notice.

"Nanook has allowed the Legion and the Empire to mutually harm each other, resulting in the deaths of three Commanders and the entire Legion. What can he gain? Does he expect the Empire to help him destroy it?"

Jiang Wei remained silent.

Maybe... that's it?

[Event: The Battle Against the Destroyer Star God]

[Description: Something unexpected has happened. The actions of our Calamity Empire are strikingly similar to the philosophy of "destruction." If this is a similarity of fate, the annexation of one by the other has ended, just as harmony devours order. And now, Nanuk has made his move.]

The legion falls to the Empire, and the Empire rises. We will win a war, but how will we win a philosophical victory? This game will never end unless Nanook is killed or the Empire falls.

【choose……】

[Great honor: The paths of empire and destruction do not overlap, but since it desires a contest, the empire will bestow glory upon its opponent; Obtain the event chain "Sealing the Star God of Destruction"; All members of the empire: ? Destiny Experience +500]

[He should be the God of Joy: He has chosen the wrong opponent. The Empire's actions resemble the philosophy of destruction, yet the philosophy and the philosophy of destruction are diametrically opposed. He is burying his own legions and cultivating an opponent with no connection to destruction; the entire Empire? ? Fate Experience +1000]

Jiang Wei selected 1.

This can be considered an undeserved disaster.

He was not referring to the Empire, but rather to the innocent civilizations that might be affected in the struggle between the Star God and the Empire.

Unlike the Gramme civilization, the Empire's fate was not "destruction." Its hostility towards Nanuk was not a matter of mutual destruction among people of the same origin, but a struggle over its destiny.

Therefore, Jiang Wei turned his attention to other civilizations in the starry sea.

Let us observe a moment of silence for them in advance.

"Inform all civilizations in the galaxy: The Empire is about to begin 'expansion,' this is its top priority, and no civilization may interfere. Any opposition will be considered a provocation against the Empire, and war will be declared immediately."

"Any actions Nanuk takes in the future shall not be regarded as a disaster caused by the Empire. Anyone who dares to spread rumors shall be regarded as a provocation against the Empire and will be directly declared to war."

"The third thing..."

"If the struggle between the Empire and the Destroyer Star God reaches a stalemate, the Empire will change its ideology in order to ensure its own survival. At that time, all intelligent civilizations in the galaxy will have to 'take sides,' either helping the Empire or helping Nanuk; neutrality will not be allowed."

The troops came to the city.

The game between the God of Destruction and the Star God is no joke.

Jiang Wei took this matter very seriously, entrusting it to the Great Black Tower. News of this would soon reach the ears of the Star Sea Civilization, informing them of the situation.

The Empire has been very busy lately, busy fighting against the Destroyer Star God.

No matter who it is, don't bother them. Otherwise, there's no need for further words; the only option is to start a war.

The Empire's diplomatic stance has changed to "expansionism," space station costs have been reduced by 15%, and colony development speed has been increased by 100%. This will trigger unforeseen changes.

……

The news reporter was a step too late.

When Jiang Wei made his decision and pointed out expansionism, the situation unfolded in a way that even he himself had not anticipated.

He forgot that the empire's background held something hidden—a long history, a story, waiting for "revival."

The news broadcast lights up.

The intelligent civilizations paid close attention to any intelligence the empire possessed.

Because of the legion's defeat, they knew that the empire was incredibly powerful and a super civilization.

News reports indicate that the Empire's overall strength is now surpassed that of the Company on the current interstellar map, and on par with the revitalized Immortal Ship civilization, making it a colossal force that resonates throughout the universe.

The broadcast title read, "An ancient empire has awakened, its fleet blotting out the sky, heading towards an unknown star system."

The intelligent civilizations didn't understand the empire's actions, but they did immediately.

The news signal seemed unstable, flickering a few times.

Afterwards, all the leaders and high-ranking officials of the intelligent civilizations saw a projection appear.

The silent starry sea was dim and lifeless. Jiang Wei, the governor of the star sector, had a solemn and imposing presence. He stared at a star map, lost in thought.

The fleet that blots out the sky in the background gives people a sense of awe.
