King of Assassins-Chapter 770 - 568: What Can You Do to Me

Ten million kilometers away from Pegasus Star, here one can directly see the star that illuminates it, observing Pegasus Star as it was thirty seconds ago.

For the Milky Way Galaxy, ten million kilometers is already the closest distance.

However, for Pegasus Star, ten million kilometers is still distant enough.

This distance also turns the explosions that occur repeatedly in space into a fireworks display.

At this time, from this angle, it's exactly the side of Pegasus Star facing away from the star that can see this Star Realm.

Then, immersed in the silhouette of the planet, the northern hemisphere witnessed a grand fireworks show.

Intense fiery glows flashed across the night sky, illuminating the dark northern hemisphere brightly.

Approximately more than two billion people witnessed the splendid starry sky.

Many people thought it was an aurora phenomenon or some astronomical spectacle.

Only the military department is clear that this high-intensity energy reaction is an antimatter star-killing bomb explosion. Plus, space battleships exploding one after another.

The military leaders were stunned, wondering what situation allowed a massive fleet to invade the Pegasus Star Realm without them detecting any anomaly.

The intense energy reaction in space has inevitably caused some impact on Pegasus Star.

Fortunately, these military weapons overly emphasize power, with explosion energy being exceptionally concentrated and violent. Once dispersed, the power rapidly diminishes.

By the time it transmits millions of kilometers away, the impact energy poses no substantial threat, although it will cause some damage to the electromagnetic net.

Communications networks are most directly affected, with hundreds of millions going offline at the time. It will take some time to restore.

However, for the military personnel of Pegasus Star, such losses are entirely acceptable.

Hmm, it might not even be considered a loss.

Many military personnel are using various observation methods to monitor conditions in outer space.

Conveniently, the space telescope is the best tool. It allows direct optical observation.

Especially the space fortresses deployed outside Pegasus Star use various radars, sensors, and so on, clearly witnessing the entire annihilation process of the fleet.

The entire battle process is straightforward: Gao Xuan wielded his spear and struck directly.

Massive warships, under Gao Xuan's spear, seemed like balloons. With one thrust, the warship exploded spectacularly without exception.

Even the largest space battleship couldn't withstand a single blow from Gao Xuan.

The several high-ranking officers who witnessed this were pale-faced.

Being in such positions, they certainly understand how powerful space battleships are.

Particularly in the Pegasus Star Realm with its low Source Power environment, space battleships are nearly invincible—certainly not something individual powerhouses could rival.

Hence, the Twelve Star Domain doesn't have any Golden Powerhouses.

Now, millennia-old perceptions have been overturned. Gao Xuan, wielding a long spear, easily obliterated a reorganized fleet.

The light screen displayed Gao Xuan's unparalleled handsome face, unmatched across the entire Star River.

Moreover, such strong combat capability, only Gao Xuan could achieve it.

After all, Gao Xuan had annihilated a fleet single-handedly with just a sword two decades ago.

The numerous high-ranking officers watched the spectacle, but each was weighed with heavy hearts.

They failed to detect the fleet's invasion and didn't make any correct responses, so they certainly won't face favorable consequences.

Even so, someone couldn't help but discuss, "How did he manage it? Wasn't there a Source Power restriction on Pegasus Star?"

The other officers also showed curiosity. But they were too low in rank. Even with viewing the footage and Light Computers calculating various data in real-time, they couldn't comprehend the essence of Gao Xuan's Power.

The highest commander of the space fortress, Mu Guofeng, cursed with rolling eyes: "Damn, is there any point in discussing this? I just want to know when that one comes to blame us, who can stand up?"

At this, many officers lowered their heads and remained silent. Carrying this burden was not something they could choose to do.

Though Mu Guofeng was cursing, he had no good solution. This matter bore his undeniable responsibility.

However, there was nothing more to say now. With a wave of his hand, he closed the light screen and exited the virtual meeting.

Mu Guofeng sighed deeply, spinning the pistol he had drawn from his waist, yet his face was full of hesitation.

Talking about suicide is easy, but actually doing it yourself is truly hard. He didn't want to die.

If it weren't for the pursuit of immortality, he would never have boarded the Evil God's ship of thieves.

He only blamed being blinded by desire at that time, leading to his downfall.

Mu Guofeng had spent his entire life working at the Pegasus Star's Space Fortress. Xiao Wan was once his subordinate.

Due to the connection with Xiao Wan, even with the Holy Hall's aggressive expansion, he remained steadily as the highest commander of the Space Fortress.

However, one moment of folly led to his current predicament.

Mu Guofeng's mind was unclear at the time, but now he was completely calm. Although he hadn't done anything himself, he definitely had to take responsibility for this matter, and there was no escaping it.

Just a momentary lapse of reason, tempted by the Evil God, and I forgot everything...

Just as Mu Guofeng was regretting, he suddenly saw someone appear in front of him. This person was wearing an extremely luxurious silver Sword Robe, with a face of unparalleled handsomeness—none other than the strongest in the Alliance, Gao Xuan!

Twenty years ago, Gao Xuan was still an unknown. Because someone had privately activated the main cannon of the Space Fortress, Gao Xuan was once under investigation as a suspect.

The only impression Mu Guofeng had of Gao Xuan at that time was that this kid was very handsome.

Then, Gao Xuan soon rose to prominence. It didn't take long before he dominated the Alliance.

Mu Guofeng and many others realized that the Blood Shadow rampant on Pegasus Star at that time must have had a close relationship with Gao Xuan. Also, the main cannon activation incident of the Space Fortress couldn't be unrelated to Gao Xuan.

But by then, the status gap between Mu Guofeng and Gao Xuan was too large, and he had no chance to interact with this strongest figure of the Alliance. It was also impossible to confront Gao Xuan.

Twenty years later, they met under such circumstances.

Mu Guofeng felt very complicated and said tremblingly, "Mr. Gao, give me a chance."

Seeing Gao Xuan remain silent, Mu Guofeng's heart sank even more. Reluctant to give up, he said, "Twenty years ago, the Space Fortress's main cannon struck, killing countless people. Are all people guilty? People make mistakes."

Gao Xuan interrupted Mu Guofeng, "Some mistakes can be made, but some cannot. You've crossed the line."

He then said with a serious expression, "I've always followed my righteous path, so even if unjust lives fall under my hand, I have no regrets. You think you can compare with me? Are you worthy?"

Gao Xuan's words were calm and grand, exuding a boldness capable of bearing everything.

Mu Guofeng was rendered speechless.

In the past twenty years, Gao Xuan had swept away Evil Gods and killed countless people, but from a societal perspective, these years indeed brought significant changes.

With Gao Xuan's ability, he didn't need to do all this to hold the strongest power.

His severe crackdown on Evil Gods effectively targeted the noble families at the top, while sweeping away the dregs of society at the bottom. 80% of human crimes were related to Evil Gods.

The noble families were heavily hit, the most evil batch of humans eliminated, restoring societal order, and giving those at the bottom a chance to rise. This cycle brought vibrancy to society.

After the Twelve Saints, Gao Xuan was undoubtedly the most capable of getting things done.

Whether it was good or bad for the entirety of humanity remained to be seen over time.

Though Mu Guofeng was just the Space Fortress commander on Pegasus Star, he deeply felt the social upheaval.

For Gao Xuan, who led these changes, Mu Guofeng did not like him, but he had to admire the man's boldness and resolve.

On the other hand, he didn't have the guts to oppose Gao Xuan. He himself couldn't figure out how he ended up here.

The more Mu Guofeng thought, the more unbearable it felt, his complexion turned even more ashen.

Gao Xuan sat across from Mu Guofeng calmly, saying, "You ended up here because of your selfishness, which allowed the Evil God to tempt you. In a way, it's pitiful."

Mu Guofeng's eyes showed a hint of determination, "This is all my doing, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

After speaking, Mu Guofeng pulled out a gun and shot himself in the temple.

The bullet, triggered by an electromagnetic pulse, easily pierced the skull. The bullet's kinetic energy instantly destroyed all brain tissue, while the high temperature incinerated the flesh to ashes.

With a single shot, Mu Guofeng's temple had a through-and-through hole, with scorched edges around the entry. Both eyes were burnt, leaving just two dark holes.

Though he was a Swordsman, Mu Guofeng was dead on the spot. His head slumped, the gun in his hand slowly fell, and he lay slumped against the chair with no more breath left.

Gao Xuan sat opposite, watching calmly. Mu Guofeng deserved his fate, his death not worth lamenting.

He hadn't come all this way just to settle scores with Mu Guofeng. This minor character wasn't worth his trip.

After a while, Gao Xuan finally said, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

The dead Mu Guofeng's body moved slightly, and two green lights appeared in the black holes of his eye sockets.

Mu Guofeng slowly sat up straight, opened his mouth, and said, "You won this battle, why must you force me to show myself?"

"To become the Master of Desire is merely to be an Evil God."

Gao Xuan said with a hint of disdain, "Hiding within Mu Guofeng's Divine Soul, can you remain concealed?"

The dead man's face showed a sly smile, "I am but a fragment of consciousness. Even if you destroy me, what of it?"

He sneered again, "I'm not like those two fools who descended in real form to kill you. Truly stupid. Our kind lives endlessly, why bother with momentary gains and losses?"

"Hiding in Negative Space ensures safety?"

Gao Xuan shook his head, "As an Evil God, your level is quite low. Far inferior to those two, Blood and Shadow."

To accomplish great deeds, one cannot shy away from risk. Only by pooling all power can there be a chance of victory.

The Master of Desire hiding in the shadows, exerting force yet fearing loss, accomplishes nothing in the end. In terms of courage and spirit, this one fell a notch below.

Had the Master of Desire not used the Desire Chain, Gao Xuan may not have found her. Now, though, she has no escape route.

Gao Xuan said calmly, "Your greatest folly was using a direct connection to my Divine Soul. My Divine Soul is not for you to connect as you please, nor to disconnect once connected."

The Master of Desire, controlling Mu Guofeng, sneered coldly, "As you Huaxia say, what can you do to me?"
