301: Throne of God

The crown floated silently at the top of the light pillar, awaiting its final owner.

The Observer's will descended one last time.

"The final trial."

"Ascend the Throne, wear the crown."

A majestic voice echoed in the mind of every survivor.

The final battle was inevitable.

At the Nest of Creation, the temporary base of the Federal Fleet.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.

All warriors were preparing for the final battle.

This battle would determine the future of them and the civilization behind them.

On the flagship's bridge, Su Lei quietly watched the holographic star map.

The silver-white light points representing the Gravekeeper's main legion had left the Continent of Bones, transforming into a silver spear of absolute order, steadily advancing towards the Throne of Gods.

Before them, any obstacles in their path were directly purified and leveled.

They were forging a king's path to the final battlefield for themselves.

"They've moved out."

Li Xue凝's voice sounded beside Su Lei.

She had changed into a streamlined silver-blue battle armor.

Behind her were twelve Royal Guards, and thousands of Titan Legion soldiers whose eyes burned with golden flames.

"Governor, Charon has a communication."

"Connect him."

Charon's holographic image appeared in the center of the bridge, his face no longer cynical, but with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Governor Su Lei, it seems we have all reached the final step. Are you ready for the final battle?"

"You, it seems, are not planning to participate."

Su Lei looked at him.

"Of course."

Charon shrugged: "We are relic hunters, not gamblers who risk our lives for some god's game."

"I contacted you this time to complete our final transaction."

A data chip appeared in his palm: "This is all the intelligence about the Gravekeeper's commander, the Timelord, and the forbidden weapon in his hand, the Soul Suppressor."

"Perhaps it can help you."

"In exchange..."

"The location of the Divine Gene Bank has already been sent to you."

Su Lei interrupted him.

"Ha, what a generous partner."

Charon smiled: "Then, good luck, future King."

His image slowly faded.

Su Lei took the chip, and his Divine Soul power swept over it, his calm eyes narrowing slightly.

The Soul Suppressor.

The principle of this forbidden weapon was far more malicious than he had imagined.

It did not simply attack the Soul, but rather, through a Law of order, forcibly changed the basic rules of the link between Soul and matter within an area, allowing the Soul to become a substance that could be captured, imprisoned, and decomposed!

Within the range covered by this weapon, any Divine Soul-level attack or defense would be ineffective!

Venerables would be reduced to Mortals!

And the Timelord himself was actually the artificial intelligence chief butler of the Kindling from the previous era!

His core program was deeply bound to the underlying architecture of this ship.

In a sense, he was the true owner of this ship.

"An almost unsolvable opponent."

Li Xue凝 also exclaimed after reading the intelligence.

"No."

But Su Lei shook his head: "Anything that seems unsolvable must have its flaws."

"The Observer's game is balanced; it will not set up an unbeatable player."

"The true way to break the situation does not lie in how to counter the weapon or defeat the opponent..."

He stretched out his hand, pointing to the crown of the era floating above the golden light pillar.

"But in who can be the first to wear it!"

"Issue my command!"

Su Lei's voice instantly spread throughout the fleet: "All fleets, abandon the base, all personnel assemble! Titan Legion, Royal Guards, all move out!"

"We have only one goal, the Throne of Gods!"

The massive Federal Fleet, like awakened Dragons, poured out, forming a black torrent of steel, launching its final, most resolute charge towards the ultimate Throne at the peak of the world!

The Throne of Gods, located at the highest point of the Kindling world, was a floating platform made of pure crystal.

In the center of the platform, a sky-reaching staircase woven from light extended upwards, reaching the crown of the era.

To be crowned, one must ascend this Ascension Ladder.

When the Federal Fleet arrived, the Gravekeeper's main legion was already arrayed in strict formation.

Tens of thousands of Purifier robots, arranged in huge squares, stood silently on both sides of the long staircase, like the most loyal honor guard.

At the very front was the mothership, the Court of Time.

The Timelord stood at the bow of the ship, holding a silver cage in his hand.

The two strongest armies faced each other across this final stage.

"Latercomers."

The Timelord's voice, calm, rang out: "You have come this far, proving your excellence."

"Now, retreat."

"This crown is not the Karma that you and the young civilization behind you can bear."

"Give it to me, and I will end all of this."

"This is the last mercy I can offer you."

Su Lei's figure appeared at the very front of the fleet, looking at the god-like Timelord.

"My civilization taught me one thing."

"Fate is never given by the charity of others, but earned by one's own hands!"

"Want the crown? Take it by your own ability!"

"A foolish choice."

The Timelord sighed softly, slowly raising the forbidden weapon in his hand.

"Then, let everything return to its most primitive order."

As his voice fell, he did not attack, but instead threw the Soul Suppressor high into the sky!

The silver cage disintegrated with a roar at its highest point, transforming into a colossal network of countless order runes, covering the sky!

This net spread wildly, completely enveloping the entire airspace of the Throne of Gods within seconds!

An absolute order Domain, which prohibited all Divine Soul power, had formed!

Instantly, both Su Lei and Li Xue凝 felt their connection to the Laws of heaven and earth being forcibly severed by an irresistible force!

Their vast Divine Soul power was forcibly suppressed back into their bodies, like fierce tigers confined in a cage!

The Ice Phoenix phantom behind Li Xue凝 let out a mournful cry, turning into motes of light and dissipating.

They were reduced to their original forms.

From Venerables who could make words Law, they reverted to Mortals with only powerful Physical Bodies.

"Welcome to my world."

The Timelord's voice was like a divine oracle of creation: "Here, there are no gods, only the purest collision of matter and energy, and in this regard..."

He slowly waved his hand.

Behind him, the tens of thousands of Purifier Legion soldiers, with countless golden single eyes, lit up in unison.

"We are invincible."

The final battle began in the most disadvantageous way for the Federal Fleet.

Under the Domain of order, Divine Soul was forbidden, and the battlefield was forcibly pulled back to the most primitive struggle of strength.

"All Titan Guardians, move forward!"

Su Lei's voice broke the silence: "Use the ship bodies as cover, construct a defensive line! All warships, switch to physical ammunition saturation strike mode!"
