Outside the capital of Kaiyuan.

It was originally the most prosperous holy land in the entire Kaiyuan world.

But at this moment, countless warships and the Zerg were locked in a fierce battle.

Although Ayi had taken control of the last warships and soldiers of the Kaiyuan Empire, he was unable to perform the same level of precision as Anna and Jiang Wang due to his bloodline and spiritual power.

All he could do was implant the idea of ​​"death before peace" into the minds of the androids he controlled.

Meanwhile, on the Zerg side...

They remained fearless even when faced with warships representing the strength of an entire nation and countless high-level experts.

Since Jiang Wang completely killed the Emperor, there has been no one in the entire Kaiyuan World who can rival the Zerg.

Moreover, the Zerg have already destroyed the entire world.

From Kaiyuan's perspective, Solomon Ay's actions were a desperate gamble.

From Jiang Wang's perspective, Ayi was like a gambler who had lost everything and bet everything on it.

But this is for the best, it saves him from having to clean up Kaiyuan's mess piecemeal instead of running around everywhere...

At this moment, the last army of Kaiyuan was venting their final resentment towards the Zerg.

Behind the Kaiyuan warship, many commanders were directing the warships in combat.

Although Ay controlled these soldiers, he also knew that with his strength, if he really controlled these soldiers to attack all at once, then Kaiyuan's last gamble would turn into a ridiculous brawl, a chaotic mess without any tactics or style.

So at the last moment, he chose to delegate power.

He assigned a group of generals willing to die to command a portion of the army...

This not only maximizes the combat power of the Kaiyuan faction but also allows for the maximum damage to the Zerg.

Even though Ay had achieved this much, the Kaiyuan Fleet was utterly crushed the moment it faced the Zerg.

Countless warships were torn apart by the Zerg.

Countless lives were lost in the sky.

...

Meanwhile, in the Star Alliance, thousands of miles away...

Zhou Gan listened intently as the staff reported to him on the current situation of the Zerg.

Zhou Gan could sense their barely suppressed excitement from the staff members.

This sentiment is felt by everyone in Starlink.

Long-standing oppression, and wars that have claimed countless lives.

This has already pushed the emotions of these people to their absolute limit.

Previously, when faced with Kaiyuan and all races, they felt only repression, anger, grief, and helplessness.

However, the appearance of the Zerg provided them with some relief and release from their emotions.

But sometimes, too much happiness and surprises can be overwhelming.

They hadn't yet processed the elation and the unreal feeling of the destruction of countless races.

The result is now.

The once mighty Kaiyuan Empire is also nearing its end.

Under such dual stimulation, many people in Kaiyuan were in a state of extreme emotional turmoil.

They were excited, they were enthusiastic, they were wildly venting their emotions...

And with deliberate official propaganda, he shouted Jiang Wang's name...

But just when everyone was in a frenzy...

Zhou Gan, however, showed neither sorrow nor joy...

It wasn't that he thought Jiang Wang couldn't win, or that he thought there would be any more twists and turns.

From the destruction of all races, Zhou Gan already knew that the power of Jiang Wang and the insectoid race was something the Kaiyuan Empire could not stop.

But he couldn't be happy.

Even if all races have been wiped out, the Kaiyuan era will also be destroyed in the near future.

But he just couldn't be happy.

Zhou Gan leaned back in his familiar chair, his face calm, his eyes fixed on the ceiling with an unwavering gaze.

As a philosopher once said.

Those who truly want to win don't have smiles on their faces.

Because the long struggle and fighting had almost drained him.

Along the way, Zhou Gan lost his sworn enemies and close friends with whom he could laugh, joking, and arguing.

We have lost our comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with us.

I lost the lover I was almost destined to grow old with.

Having lost respected elders and teachers, lost one's youth, one's vitality, one's youthful fearlessness and sincerity...

He lost too much.

Previously, when the Star Alliance was still struggling to emerge from the shadow of the myriad races and the Kaiyuan, he remained on edge.

But at this moment.

While everyone was celebrating the victory.

Suppressed emotions, tense nerves, and endless fatigue were released in that instant.

At this moment, Zhou Gan only wanted to sit in the chair representing the leader of the Star Alliance.

Close your eyes for a while.

Take a break...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The Kaiyuan warships were still roaring.

Some warships even self-destructed the moment the Zerg approached.

Jiang Wang watched Kaiyuan's final resistance from inside Leviathan.

To be honest, Kaiyuan's fearless fighting spirit did cause some difficulties for the Zerg.

But then the massive battle fortresses joined the battle.

The already crumbling Kaiyuan front instantly disintegrated...

Under the cover of the war fortress, countless Zerg swarms tore the Kaiyuan warships to shreds.

Not long after.

The massive Kaiyuan fleet was torn into small battle zones...

Meanwhile, in the royal palace.

As Ay watched countless warships explode and the roaring Zerg hordes engulf him, he knew that Kaiyuan was truly doomed.

Although this was an ending we already knew.

However, he still felt somewhat upset and disappointed.

It's like...

Before the exam, you knew that because you hadn't studied much in the past, you were likely to fail.

But you still choose to cram and study hard before the exam.

I want to give it my all in this way.

Even though you know that this approach probably won't change the fact that you failed the exam, you still hold onto hope that your last-minute cramming will yield results.

He hoped that his desperate act would give Jiang Wang a glimmer of hope in defeating him.

But unfortunately...

He didn't...

But at this point, Ai had no regrets.

Because he believed he had done the best he could.

Through their conspiracy with all races, they created the Novice Trial, a deadly weapon that annihilated countless people from other worlds.

Furthermore, these novice trials can be used to select talented individuals from other worlds and assassinate them using various methods such as Shadow Guards.

In fact, Kaiyuan and the myriad races even prepared different methods to deal with otherworldly beings at different stages.

Otherwise, the Star Alliance wouldn't have only Zhou Gan as its super-strong combatant without genetic limitations.

Jiang Wang, who was growing up at that time, also experienced these things.

But unfortunately.

Their plan to strangle them failed.

Therefore, Ai has no regrets about this...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

With several war fortresses clearing the way, Leviathan slowly advanced towards the location of the Kaiyuan royal family...
