Chapter 25 The Galactic Ruler Descends! A War Between Level Five Civilizations! A Battle for Earth's Survival!

Day 20.

In Earth's orbit, 25,000 warships were lined up in neat formation, including 10,000 ships from the Void Fleet.

On the ground, over 500 million players entered a state of combat readiness.

Lin Feng stood on the flagship's command deck, wearing the void end set, staring into the deep reaches of space.

"Lin Feng, radar shows the targets have entered the outer Solar System!" Li Xue reported, "The numbers... are incalculable!"

Lin Feng looked at the holographic radar.

In the dark starry sky, countless red dots surged forward like a tide, so numerous that they even blocked out the starlight.

[System Warning: The Galactic Federation fleet has arrived]

[Fleet Size: 150,000 warships]

"150,000 ships?!" Li Xue's voice trembled, "The intelligence said there were only 100,000!"

Lin Feng sneered:

"The Galactic Sovereign has come in person."

"It seems he truly takes me seriously."

He opened the server-wide broadcast:

"All players, listen to me."

"Today is the most critical day for Earth Civilization."

"What we face is the most powerful level 4 civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy—the Galactic Federation."

"Their leader is an Observer of a Level 5 Civilization—the Galactic Sovereign."

"But—"

"I will not back down."

"Are you willing to fight alongside me?"

The global players roared in unison:

"We are!"

"Follow Lin Feng to the death!"

"Defend Earth!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well. Then—let the battle begin!"

25,000 warships fired simultaneously, energy beams tearing through space.

The Galactic Federation fleet retaliated immediately, with countless energy beams raining down like a meteor shower.

The two torrents of energy collided in space, erupting in a blinding light.

But—

There were simply too many Galactic Federation warships.

The firepower of 150,000 warships was six times that of the Earth fleet.

In the very first round of engagement, the Earth fleet lost 3,000 ships.

"The 3rd Fleet is wiped out! The 7th Fleet has lost 70%!" Li Xue reported anxiously, "We can't hold on!"

Lin Feng calmly ordered:

"All fleets, fall back to Earth's orbit."

"Activate the planetary-scale energy shield."

"Let me handle this."

His figure flickered, turning into a streak of light as he charged into space.

The void end set unfolded, and a brilliant black light enveloped his entire body.

He hovered between the two armies, staring directly at the center of the Galactic Federation fleet.

"Galactic Sovereign!" His voice spread across the entire battlefield through the system, "Come out!"

From the center of the Galactic Federation fleet, a giant warship slowly sailed out.

The warship was over 100 kilometers long, its surface covered in silver armor, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

At the top of the warship, a five-meter-tall humanoid being slowly emerged.

His body was composed of pure energy, radiating a brilliant galactic glow.

—The Galactic Sovereign.

He looked down at Lin Feng, his voice like thunder:

"Lin Feng, Civilization Terminator."

"Your courage surprises me."

"But you cannot defeat me."

"Because I am an Observer of a Level 5 Civilization, possessing power beyond your imagination."

With a wave of the Galactic Sovereign's hand, countless galactic patterns suddenly appeared in the surrounding starry sky.

"This is—the Galactic Domain."

"Within my domain, I am invincible."

Lin Feng felt a terrifying pressure, but he did not back down.

"Galactic Domain? Interesting."

He waved his hand, and the void end set released its power simultaneously.

[Set Effect Activated: Termination Domain]

A brilliant black light spread out with Lin Feng as the center, forming an Termination Domain with a diameter of 200 kilometers.

"My domain is called 'End'."

"It means—the end of all things."

"Now, let's see which is stronger: your Galaxy or my End."

The Galactic Sovereign laughed:

"Arrogance!"

"Galactic Myriad Phenomena!"

With a wave of his hand, the countless galactic patterns suddenly transformed into energy beams, charging straight at Lin Feng!

Each beam contained star-level energy, and there were over 100,000 of them!

"Come on!"

Lin Feng swung the blade of void termination, and a black sword light swept out.

"End Slash!"

The jet-black sword light tore through space, instantly shattering all the galactic beams!

The Galactic Sovereign's pupils shrank:

"What?!"

"You can actually shatter galactic beams?"

Lin Feng sneered:

"This is only the beginning."

He unfurled the Wings of Void Termination, and his flight speed surged by 1000%!

In an instant, he had appeared before the Galactic Sovereign.

"Void Slash!"

The black sword light slashed toward the Galactic Sovereign, but—

The sword light was blocked by an invisible barrier.

The Galactic Sovereign looked at Lin Feng with contempt:

"A Level 5 Civilization's energy shield—did you think you could break it?"

Lin Feng frowned.

As expected, attacks from a level 4 civilization could not harm an Observer of a Level 5 Civilization.

"In that case..."

He took a deep breath, preparing to use his ultimate skill.

"Wait," the Galactic Sovereign suddenly spoke, "let me give you a choice."

"If you surrender now, I can make you a general of the Galactic Federation."

"Your strength is indeed worthy of the position."

Lin Feng sneered:

"Surrender?"

"Galactic Sovereign, you think too highly of yourself."

"I said, I will only win."

"I won't surrender."

A flash of anger crossed the Galactic Sovereign's eyes:

"In that case, then die."

With a wave of his hand, the entire Galactic Flagship suddenly erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations.

[Warning: galaxy destruction cannon charging detected]

[Power: Sufficient to destroy the entire Solar System]

Lin Feng's pupils shrank.

Is this... a planetary-scale destruction weapon?!

"Li Xue, activate the interstellar portal!" he ordered, "All players, evacuate Earth immediately!"

"Lin Feng, what about you?" Li Xue asked in terror.

"I'm going to stay here and stop him."

The Galactic Sovereign looked at Lin Feng and revealed a cruel smile:

"You want to stop the galaxy destruction cannon?"

"Lin Feng, do you know the power of the galaxy destruction cannon?"

"Once it finishes charging, it can instantly destroy all matter within the Solar System."

"Including Earth, including you, and including all of humanity."

"And you cannot possibly stop it."

Lin Feng gripped the blade of void termination tightly, battle intent burning in his eyes:

"Then let's find out."

He unfurled the Wings of Void Termination and charged straight for the core of the galaxy destruction cannon.

"System, Time Stasis Domain!"

[Warning: After using Time Stasis Domain (God-tier), the skill will disappear permanently]

[Do you confirm?]

"Confirm!"

[Skill Activated: Time Stasis Domain]

In an instant, the entire Solar System was enveloped in a brilliant blue light.

Time stood still.

The galaxy destruction cannon's charge stopped at 99%, the Galactic Fleet froze in place, and even the Galactic Sovereign's smile was frozen on his face.

Only Lin Feng could move freely.

He calmly flew toward the core of the galaxy destruction cannon and raised the blade of void termination.

"End Judgment."

The black sword light slashed toward the core of the destruction cannon.

But—

The sword light was blocked by an energy shield.

Lin Feng's pupils shrank.

A Level 5 Civilization's shield—even Time Stasis couldn't break through it?!

"Damn it..."

He took a deep breath, preparing to use the ultimate skill of the void end set.

"Civilization End."

[Set Skill Activated: Civilization End]

[Effect: Releases all power at once, dealing a single devastating blow]

A brilliant black light erupted from within Lin Feng, forming a massive pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth!

The pillar of light charged straight for the core of the galaxy destruction cannon!

BOOM!!!!!!

The moment time resumed its flow—

The black light pillar pierced the core of the galaxy destruction cannon, and the entire Galactic Flagship exploded from within!

The galaxy destruction cannon went out of control, its energy collapsing inward to form a massive black hole!

"No—!"

The Galactic Sovereign cried out in terror, but his voice was quickly swallowed by the black hole.

The black hole expanded rapidly, swallowing thousands of surrounding Galactic warships.

Lin Feng immediately ordered:

"All fleets, evacuate the Solar System immediately! Activate the interstellar portals!"

Five hundred million players evacuated to the Void Civilization's safe zones through the interstellar portals.

The Earth fleet also retreated quickly, moving away from the black hole.

Ten minutes later, the black hole collapsed and vanished into space.

The Galactic Federation fleet suffered heavy losses, with over 100,000 warships swallowed by the black hole.

But—

The Galactic Sovereign was not dead.

He stood upon a remaining Galactic Flagship, his body emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

"Lin Feng..."

His voice was like it came from hell:

"You actually... destroyed my galaxy destruction cannon..."

"Good... very good..."

"Since that's the case, then at the cost of my life..."

"I will completely destroy Earth!"

The Galactic Sovereign's body began to burn, transforming into brilliant galactic energy.

[Warning: The Galactic Sovereign is initiating a self-destruct sequence]

[Power: Sufficient to destroy the entire Milky Way Galaxy]

Li Xue cried out in terror, "Lin Feng, he's going to self-detonate!"

Lin Feng's pupils shrank.

The entire Milky Way Galaxy?!

This lunatic!

"He must be stopped!"

He charged toward the Galactic Sovereign, but—

A terrifying energy storm formed around the Galactic Sovereign, pushing Lin Feng away.

"It's useless, Lin Feng," the Galactic Sovereign laughed manically. "This is the self-detonation of a Level 5 Civilization Observer; its power is beyond your imagination!"

"Earth is doomed!"

The energy storm expanded rapidly, about to swallow the entire Solar System.

Lin Feng gripped the blade of void termination tightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"If I can't stop it..."

"Then—I will counter it with my life."

He took a deep breath, preparing to sacrifice himself to stop the Galactic Sovereign's self-detonation.

But just then—

[System Warning: civilization evolution core awakening]

[Life-and-death crisis of Earth Civilization detected]

[The civilization evolution core has decided to intervene]

[civilization evolution core (2nd Core): Activated]

A brilliant green light erupted from within Lin Feng, forming a massive energy barrier that enveloped the entire Solar System.

The Galactic Sovereign's self-detonation energy was blocked by the green barrier.

"This... what kind of power is this?!" The Galactic Sovereign looked at the green light in disbelief.

[civilization evolution core: Attacks below Level 5 Civilization cannot break through this barrier]

The Galactic Sovereign's self-detonation energy gradually dissipated, and his body crumbled along with it.

"No... impossible..."

"The civilization evolution core..."

"You... actually possess the civilization evolution core..."

"Lin Feng... you... you won..."

The Galactic Sovereign's body turned into countless points of light and dissipated in space.

[Battle Victory]

[Galactic Federation warships destroyed: 150,000]

[Killed Galactic Sovereign (Level 5 Civilization Observer)]

[Experience Gained: +500,000,000]

[Congratulations! Player level increased to Lv.150]

[Server-wide Announcement: Earth Civilization has defeated the Galactic Federation!]

[Congratulations! Earth Civilization has been promoted to a level 4 civilization!]

[New Feature Unlocked: Galactic Colonization]

Lin Feng stood in space, watching the Solar System gradually recover.

He won.

The Galactic Sovereign was dead.

Earth had been promoted to a level 4 civilization.

But his gaze soon fell upon the growing crack in the sky.

The Gate of the Universe.

Of the six-month time limit, there were only...

Two months left.

"I must reach Level 5 Civilization as soon as possible."
