298: The first person to be eliminated
This thought weighed heavily on everyone's mind.
However, the crown of the era's random teleportation did not cease.
It continued to wander through this shattered world.
When it reappeared in a broken star ring, composed of countless meteorites orbiting a decaying star, Star Lord was in a state of extreme anxiety and frenzy.
Although the internal conflict with the Mother Empress allowed him to seize the flagship, his loyal subordinates suffered heavy losses.
He now needed power more than ever, the power of that crown, to compensate for all his losses and return him to his Peak.
Therefore, in this pursuit game, he acted more aggressively than anyone, regardless of the cost.
This time, he seemed to be in luck.
Other competitors had not yet appeared.
"Now! Get it at all costs!"
Star Lord's will roared through the fleet network.
All the muzzles and cavities on the surface of his biological flagship opened, launching a fierce attack on the decaying star that provided energy for the crown.
He wanted to directly destroy the energy source on which the crown relied, forcibly keeping it.
However, he overlooked one point: he was not the only hunter.
Just as his fleet poured all its firepower onto the decaying star, behind his fleet, in the shadows of the meteorite belt illuminated by the star's light, black warships, completely integrated with the darkness, silently emerged.
That was the Myriad Devouring Mother Empress's swarm fleet.
She had been lurking there, waiting for the optimal ambush opportunity.
"Thief, you are finally alone."
The Mother Empress's resentful will enveloped Star Lord's fleet.
The next second, that black swarm launched a deadly sneak attack from the weakest rear of Star Lord's fleet.
"Mother Empress! You damned bug!"
Star Lord roared.
He had to divert nearly half of his energy to deal with this sneak attack from behind.
A fierce fleet battle erupted once again.
Both sides fell into a quagmire of immense consumption.
And neither of them noticed that in another direction of this chaotic battlefield, an airspace shrouded in interstellar dust.
The Gravekeeper's main fleet was quietly waiting.
On the bridge of the mothership Court of Time, the supreme commander Timelord, watched the escalating dogfight.
"The time is almost here."
"Commander, the target star's energy index is dropping sharply, expected to completely extinguish in ten minutes."
"Very good."
Timelord nodded.
"Issue my order, Purifier Legion First to Third Sequences prepare for deployment."
"All warships' main cannons charge, target, lock onto the center of the battlefield."
"When those two foolish mistakes fight each other to a draw, and when that star completely extinguishes, that's when we go to clean up the battlefield."
Time passed by minute by minute.
The decaying star, which had been the target of concentrated fire, finally let out a final wail under the overwhelming pressure and completely collapsed and extinguished.
The golden light pillar covering the entire star ring dissipated with it.
The crown of the era, quietly suspended in the Void Realm, temporarily lost its teleportation ability.
"The crown is mine!"
Star Lord and the Mother Empress roared almost simultaneously.
They abandoned each other, rushing towards the crown recklessly.
However, at this moment, the scythe of death swung down.
Tens of thousands of golden beams, representing order and purification, descended from the sky, precisely covering the entire battlefield.
Boom!
Whether it was Star Lord's biological fleet or the Mother Empress's swarm, they all appeared so fragile in the face of this long-planned, saturation strike.
The entire battlefield was completely cleared within a few seconds.
Only Star Lord's and the Mother Empress's flagships barely survived due to their powerful defenses, but they were all battered and on the verge of collapse.
"Gravekeeper!"
Star Lord looked at the silver-white fleet slowly emerging from the stardust, his Divine Soul trembling with extreme anger.
He finally understood that from beginning to end, he was just a pawn on someone else's chessboard.
"Fallen remnants, filthy mistakes."
Timelord's voice echoed in the Void Realm: "Your farce ends here."
He slowly took out a silver cage made of complex order runes from beneath his gray robe.
Soul Suppressor.
When Star Lord saw that cage, his Divine Soul felt an instinctive fear for the first time.
Timelord raised the cage in his hand and aimed it at Star Lord's dilapidated flagship.
"In the name of order, Purify."
Buzz!
A suction force specifically targeting the Soul level erupted from the cage, transforming into an invisible chain that instantly wrapped around Star Lord's Divine Soul.
"No!"
Star Lord let out a shrill scream.
He felt his Soul being forcibly dragged out of his body, which was integrated with the flagship, by an irresistible force.
Just at this critical moment, the Myriad Devouring Mother Empress, who was nearby, made an unexpected move.
Her equally dilapidated flagship suddenly accelerated, not to escape, but to crash violently into the Timelord's mothership, which was casting the spell, in a suicidal manner.
Boom!
The two massive flagships collided with a crash.
The Soul Suppressor's suction paused for a moment.
It was this instant!
Star Lord seized this sole chance of survival.
He resolutely self-destructed nearly half of his Divine Soul Origin.
The immense Divine Power storm temporarily broke free from the chains.
His remaining Divine Soul, less than a third of its original size, transformed into a faint stream of light, rushing into the distant darkness without looking back, instantly disappearing without a trace.
He escaped, in the most tragic way, completely withdrawing from the crown's contention.
As for the Myriad Devouring Mother Empress, who created this opportunity for him, she was completely engulfed by the Gravekeeper's fleet, which had reacted, with endless gunfire.
Finally, with an unwilling wail, her massive flagship, along with her will, turned into cosmic dust.
This chaotic battlefield finally returned to peace.
Timelord put away the Soul Suppressor; he looked in the direction Star Lord had fled, but did not order a pursuit.
A stray dog with a shattered Divine Soul no longer posed any threat.
His gaze fell upon the crown of the era, which floated quietly in the Void Realm, having lost all its contenders.
Now, it was his.
He slowly extended his hand, and the Law of order converged in his palm, forming an invisible large hand that reached for the crown.
However, at this moment!
The most core piece of flesh and blood tissue from the Myriad Devouring Mother Empress's flagship wreckage, which had been shattered and seemingly completely turned into cosmic dust, suddenly began to frantically wriggle and proliferate in a way that defied the Laws of life.
