147: The Starry Sky Empire's hospitality

Within the territory of the Star Dome Empire, in the Chuiyun Star System.

Escorted by a massive fleet, a sightseeing starship slowly descended onto the Star Dome Imperial Planet.

"Tsk... I have to admit, the Empire's elite fleet is more advanced than the Star Alliance's 'Wings of God'. It truly lives up to its reputation as the nation with the deepest foundations in this world."

Zhang Huaiyuan examined this fleet, known as the "Glory of the Stars."

It was almost the pinnacle of antimatter weaponry, with its equipped antimatter reactors achieving a conversion efficiency of over 95%. While it couldn't compare to the "Void Infinite Energy" derived from higher-level rules, it was a hundred times more powerful than primitive nuclear reactors.

Whether in terms of endurance or offensive capability, it was more than a cut above the "Wings of God."

Even the latest generation of "legend series" warships, apart from their power supply systems and weapons, were inferior to this type of starship in other aspects.

After an imperceptible tremor, the sightseeing starship landed smoothly.

Zhang Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze and, escorted by two Class 3S Experts, Kols and Sailos, walked down from the starship.

Before he had time to properly look around, a burst of bold and resonant laughter reached his ears.

"Chief Zhang coming in person—please forgive me for failing to welcome you properly."

"Emperor Luo is too kind. I have long admired your great name, and today I have finally fulfilled my wish to meet you."

Zhang Huaiyuan looked at the man with the hearty laugh before him, a faint light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

【Lomond】

Mastered Ability: Source of Power—a top-tier extraordinary ability of the basic type, controlling the limits of strength. Under low-level rules, it can break through all laws with force, is indestructible, and has no flaws.

extraordinary level: SSS+ (current world rule limit).

Strategy Suggestion: Demonstrate the possibility of being able to confront the unknown existence.

Luck Value: 99 (Almost all dangers native to this world are impossible to pose a lethal threat to him).

SSS+! Luck Value 99! Zhang Huaiyuan's pupils contracted uncontrollably.

He finally understood why the Emperor of the Star Dome Empire was hailed as the strongest existence in this world, without equal.

Under the effect of the Real World, he could clearly see that every one of the other's cells seemed to contain a powerful reactor, filled with infinite power.

He did not doubt for a second that a casual strike from the other could completely blow a massive planet into dust.

Judging solely from that unprecedentedly complex extraordinary spectrum, this was definitely the limit of extraordinary power under level 1 rules, perhaps even infinitely close to level 2 rules!

I'm afraid that even if Kols and Sailos, both being Class 3S Experts and Gods Chosen, joined forces, they wouldn't be able to hold out for a few rounds.

"I was still too arrogant. Fortunately, the other party has no malice." Zhang Huaiyuan's heart trembled.

He had originally thought that with his current abilities, he could go anywhere in the world. But now, he could clearly feel that if the other party wanted to kill him, he might not even have a chance to escape.

On the other side. While Zhang Huaiyuan's thoughts were racing, Lomond was also sizing up this rather legendary figure.

He had read the other's detailed dossier. He appeared suddenly and was exiled to a frontier mining area. Then, after awakening his talent, he soared into the sky, and under conditions of resource scarcity, he became a Star Mechanic comparable to a veteran master in a very short time.

At the beginning of the Galaxy Beast disaster, he pointed out at a glance the fact that they were in the midst of evolution, and successfully helped the people of Blackstone Star escape.

Later, he somehow appeared in the territory of the Free Star Alliance, received the full assistance of the Statue of Liberty, and in just over a decade, controlled a vast territory second only to the Empire.

Of course, in his view, these things were just so-so, still quite a bit worse than himself.

What truly made him pay attention was that, according to the latest intelligence, the other party had actually developed a weapon that, according to the smart brain's assessment, surpassed the power of current rules!

The significance behind this was too astonishing! It was also for this reason that he had timely called off the invasion of the Star Alliance.

"Perhaps, with his help, there really is hope to confront this disaster." A glimmer of hope rose in Lomond's heart, and the smile on his face could not help but deepen slightly. He extended his hand and said:

"Just some empty fame. I felt like I knew Chief Zhang the moment we met. If you don't mind, we can address each other as brothers. How about it?"

Once these words were spoken, a trace of shock could not help but appear on the faces of the Star Dome high-level officials following behind.

Who didn't know that His Majesty Emperor Luo had always been disdainful of others? Even the previous Star Alliance Head, "Morrgan," was referred to by him as "trash" or "coward."

Yet now, he was actually so polite to a guy who looked like he couldn't even truss a chicken.

"Of course, I am younger, so I will address you as Brother Luo."

Although Zhang Huaiyuan did not know why the other party was so polite, there was no reason to refuse, both rationally and emotionally.

"Good. Your elder brother has lived a few more years, so I will shamelessly call you brother."

Lomond laughed loudly, turned around, and instructed: "Prepare the banquet according to the highest specifications. Tell the Royal Song and Dance Troupe to get ready; they must bring out their best performances."

"As you command, Your Majesty." The two adjutants on the side bowed and then quickly walked out.

"Let's go, brother." Lomond waved his hand and greeted: "No matter how important things are, we must wait until we are wined and dined before we have the energy to talk."

"Brother is right." Zhang Huaiyuan nodded.

Although he was anxious to understand the truth behind the mastermind of the Disaster Zone, since the other party had said so, it wouldn't hurt to wait a little while.

Following Emperor Luo through several heavily guarded districts, a palace combining modern sci-fi and ancient luxury styles appeared before his eyes.

He glanced at it slightly, and to put it bluntly, even breaking off a piece to sell could be exchanged for an ordinary level 6 starship.

Every corridor and every corner seemed to be designed by a master, and every step revealed a different scene.

Precious plants were pruned so neatly that they seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, with even the height of the same species being exactly the same.

The ordinary maids passing through the palace from time to time all had looks not inferior to the heroines in manga.

And those patrolling guards all possessed S-Class strength without exception.

"Tsk... these were all carefully selected from within 12 million light-years of territory." Zhang Huaiyuan sighed slightly in his heart.

"We're here." A palace hanging a plaque that read "Pavilion of Heaven" came into view.

Emperor Luo walked straight in, pointed to the main seat that was higher than the rest, and turned back to smile: "Brother, come with me."

"Okay." Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, looking at the high platform where a seat had obviously been added temporarily, and did not refuse.

His current status was Star Alliance Head, so naturally, he could not be inferior to others in terms of reason or emotion.

As everyone took their seats, Emperor Luo lightly tapped the tabletop. Suddenly, the entire scene changed abruptly. Jungles, flowers, birdsong, and lakes, like realistic phantoms, emerged one by one.

The orderly swaying of the treetops played leisurely and pleasant music.

Huge flower buds suddenly bloomed, revealing countless women wearing emerald green dresses inside. They danced gracefully, flapping the illusory wings behind their backs, like elves from myths.

In the center guarded by them, the lake surged slightly, and a pure white seashell rose and slowly opened.

A beautiful woman wearing a bright blue dress that looked like flowing seawater walked out, singing a melodious song. She stepped on the surging waves step by step, quietly walked to the front of Emperor Luo and Zhang Huaiyuan, smiled, and reached out to pick up the expensive imperial wine to pour.

Zhang Huaiyuan, who had never pursued material things, was slightly stunned when he saw this scene. We are both supreme leaders, what kind of miserable life have I been living!
