These divine abominations don't wear exoskeletons; their flesh and blood have long since fused with their outer shells. Unlike the Mountain-Digging King and the Octopus King, whose entire lower body is pieced together with machinery, these abominations have every inch of their skin, internal organs, and bones "stitched" together with blocks of iron.

"How... pathetic." You shake your head. "Then I have no choice but to relieve your suffering."

"However, once we've resolved these issues, we can't let them continue like this," you said softly.

[Twenty-three divine fiends approached, locked onto their target, and charged straight at you.]

They instantly exceeded three times the speed of sound, with howling winds and utterly ferocious power.

[A Garbage King blocked their path, and just as they were about to dodge, the Divine Abomination identified them as enemies even faster, and with a slash of its claws, instantly dismembered a "Mid-King" level creature!]

"These guys' performance indicators are close to 200, some even reaching 250."

You licked the corner of your mouth.

"We need to be extremely careful from now on, otherwise it would be really difficult to avoid being forced to reveal our true form."

[...]

The Xu siblings, two hundred kilometers away, were monitoring the situation on the other side.

The seemingly endless battle destroyed hills of garbage, the deafening roar echoing all the way to their location.

The occasional flashes of light or explosive sounds led the two to speculate that the Garbage King's exoskeleton might have been destroyed.

The two of them were on tenterhooks, worried that you would be the one getting beaten to a pulp.

They dare not contact you via communication, fearing that it might distract you and cause you to be killed in an instant.

"Mech King Lolo... Reborn Yun Shou, even if you really are someone who piloted a mech three hundred years ago, can you really handle that kind of intense exoskeleton-based combat?"

"Have you forgotten that he used his full strength to push away the Garbage King more than a year ago?"

The curtain has fallen.

This became the most epic battle in the millennium's history on the abandoned mining planet!

Yes, even a thousand years ago, there had never been a battle of this scale on the abandoned mining planet.

Although a trash emperor is born on this planet every few decades, and there has been a battle between two emperors before, there were only two of them.

[There have been instances of "Trash Kings" instigating rebellions, but the forces involved never exceeded a hundred kings, and the conglomerates would detect and thwart them before they could even gather.]

[As the sun nears its setting.]

You return home bathed in the sunset.

The sunset, crimson as blood, stained your already scarlet exoskeleton with an even deeper crimson hue.

The cloak on your back was already tattered, like a rag draped over your shoulders.

[Around you, the three hundred strongest Trash Kings were either dead or had fled, leaving only fifty-odd guards standing guard, staring blankly at you, having lost all will to fight.]

The billions in bounty were long forgotten; they were only there to witness it.

Witness the birth of an existence "above emperors".

【Click. 】

Someone knelt down, the kneecaps making a crisp sound as they slammed them together.

This triggered a chain reaction, with countless people kneeling down in response.

"This is the supreme war god, the strongest on this abandoned mining planet for a thousand years, without equal!"

An observer a hundred kilometers away murmured, "An emperor, a king of the earth, but this 'Yun Shou' seems to have come from the heavens, like a deity descending from the airspace of a sacred land!"

"He is the Heavenly King, he is the Holy King, he is the King of Emptiness!"

"He is the Star King!"

[In the adjacent garbage area, number 161, the brother and sister were also lost in thought.]

"Brother, it seems like it's over."

【"Um."】

"Brother, didn't Yun Shou win?"

【"Uh-huh."】

"Bro, there are so many people, and it seems like every single one of them is a trash king. There must be at least a hundred dead by now, right?"

"Mmm...not only."

"Then, brother, let's contact Brother Yunshou and see if it's convenient for us to go over now."

【"good."】

[Xuwen made the call.]

Your voice came through: "Don't move, stay where you are. There's something else I need to take care of."

"Is there anything else? Isn't the fight over yet?"

"No, all the battles are over. It's just that some people are being dishonest and want to pull off something bigger."

On the other end of the communication line, you seemed to be laughing: "If it were any other tactic, I could play along with them, but not now."

[Xu Wen wanted to ask more, but saw you hang up the call. Almost simultaneously, the tiny figure two hundred kilometers away soared into the sky, leaving the garbage dump and flying off in a certain direction.]

During this process, none of the nearby garbage collectors stepped forward to stop or give chase; they looked at your retreating figure as if worshipping a deity.

At this moment, in their eyes, you truly possess the power to overthrow the conglomerate!

[Ding ding ding!]

The communicator he had snatched rang. Xu Wen looked down and froze.

Your bounty has been updated again.

[It's no longer about conglomerate authority and credit points measured in hundreds of millions.]

It's not just one spot.

[One spot to go to the Azure Realm.]

[Unlimited spots available!]

[...]

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

"Wouldn't it be better if the bedbugs just obediently got crushed?"

"What do we do? What do we do? How could we have lost even those things?!"

"Those are a full twenty-three divine abominations! Twenty-three emperor-level beings! That kid's exoskeleton function is only around one hundred, how could he possibly defeat twenty-three divine abominations!?"

"I even suspect he's piloting a mecha!"

"There should be about a dozen left in the freezer, right? Want them?"

"It's no use! That will only squander our last bit of wealth!"

The first, confident middle-aged man clenched his fist: "We cannot lose, this thousand-year-old conglomerate cannot be defeated!"

"Now that things have come to this, the only option is to bother those elders again and request the use of 'Guangtian'!"

"The Light of Heaven will destroy everything within its attack range; it's a forbidden weapon capable of destroying entire cities."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said after a moment, "But before that, raise his bounty to a single unlimited trip to the airspace, to persuade those two to hold him off for a little longer."

"Unlimited slots, isn't this going too far...?" Some people felt heartbroken.

"After seeing his performance just now, do you really still think anyone can get that spot?"

The middle-aged man mocked his colleagues; at this point, his usual gentle demeanor towards his own people had been torn away, revealing his true self in a moment of panic.

He plans to use the unlimited number of slots to lure out the two remaining trash emperors on the abandoned mining planet, thus delaying you a bit longer.

[But... he's dreaming.]
