Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 25 Easily Takes Over Gulan Star, A Terrifying Deterrence

One year later, there were still 3 days left until the agreed time.

Perseus, who had been staying on a desolate planet near Gulan for half a month, opened his eyes, and a burst of raging fire suddenly erupted from his body.

"boom--"

The flames expanded, turning into a sea of ​​fire, which then coalesced to form a vortex.

The domain, now at the ninth level, stretched and shifted with the user's will, controlling the flow of flames. Flames ignited by primal force gathered and dispersed freely under the domain's light, finally disappearing after a long while.

"We've broken through!"

The red-haired, red-eyed youth twisted his neck, let out a long, relaxed breath, and a series of crackling sounds came from his body.

Soon, the discomfort caused by sitting for a long time disappeared.

Feeling the power surging within him like a tidal wave, Perseus couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth—the newly prepared two-star energy card 'Burning Blood', while not as directly increasing the intensity of fire-type abilities or enhancing the annihilating nature of Chaotic Flame as the previous 'Warm Flame', still surpassed 'Warm Flame' in terms of boosting strength.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to break through from the peak of the ninth level of the universe level to the third level of the domain lord level in just one year, and possess the power to sweep across the ancient planet Gulan.

"How is Number 1 doing now?"

"I'm timing it perfectly. Those guys who want to get something for nothing are probably running out of patience too—a bunch of nouveau riche. They're just domain lords and they're already trying to monopolize things like world lords. They're so arrogant. I think they've gone too far. If I don't take them in, they'll ruin themselves one day."

"The Castle Merchant Guild has sent an ultimatum..."

Number 1 spoke with a hint of boredom, his gaze towards the distant planet clearly carrying a touch of pity.

How could those idiots possibly know what kind of opponent they were facing!

A few low-level domain lords are destined to become stepping stones for their master. It might even be an honor for them to die at the hands of the strongest being in the future universe.

Of course, Perseus didn't feel much about this.

He took action for no other reason than that the Castle Merchant Guild had offended him.

Such a weak and unintelligent passerby is not even worth taking as a servant.

"Number 1, let's go—"

"Let's finish this quickly and call it a day. These four 'rice-wasting' trash are perfect for a live stream, a warning to those hyenas eyeing us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver-white, sword-shaped spaceship quickly rose into the air.

Even after Perseus boarded the ship, the cabin door was closed.

He made no attempt to conceal his intentions, brazenly boarding his spaceship and heading straight for Gulan Star. He immediately unleashed a barrage of artillery fire, employing the "highest etiquette in the martial arts world." One main cannon, accompanied by three secondary cannons, spun around like thunder, emitting beams of light as they flew towards the base below.

……

The terrifying shockwave instantly tore apart dozens, even hundreds, of defensive towers.

Metal fragments, mixed with the explosion, fell downwards like meteors, hitting the crowd and causing numerous casualties.

The remaining residents who had miraculously survived looked up at the sky in terror, only to see four more pure white lights appear in that direction.

Before the newly raised light screen could unfold, another round of artillery fire began.

Before Perseus could unleash his third round of "Star Destroyer Barrage," a series of furious roars echoed through the starry sky, rushing towards him with uncontrollable killing intent.

"This spaceship... Perseus, you're asking for death!!!"

"Kill this cosmic-level ant—"

"A Class D planet-destroying cannon? Who can it possibly hit with such a cumbersome attack that requires time to charge?! Kill him, he's just a mere cosmic-level being, and he's far beyond the reach of... spaceships..."

The angry shouting stopped abruptly after only a few moments.

Sensing the aura rising from inside the spaceship—not a cosmic level but a domain lord level—the several domain lords who had taken off froze, staring in disbelief at the figure emerging from the front hatch.

The pressure of an eighth-level domain lord was fleeting, and then a long red ribbon swept in like a whirlwind, carrying the power to shatter the continent, and slammed down on the leading elder.

Immediately, the four domain lords of the Castle Merchant Guild also became furious.

"He actually broke through... to the Domain Lord level! So what if he's a Domain Lord!"

"Sylvia, Labias, Dean, let's do it together!!!"

"His understanding of the domain is definitely not as high as ours. He just broke through and is at most at the first level of Domain Lord. Right now, the advantage is on our side, and we can't give him a chance to escape—"

The old man wielded a broadsword and delivered a powerful cleavage, the golden strike striking the Hun Tian Ling with a deafening roar.

As the Hun Tian Ling, which had only used a fraction of its strength, was cleaved away by his blade, the old man, who had thought Perseus was just a tough exterior but a weak interior, suddenly brightened up.

"Quickly, kill him!"

The other three domain lords also gathered around.

The young man on the left turned and struck, his short double-headed swords flashing with lightning, but the next moment they collided with a red aura.

The Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) shot out swiftly like a long dragon.

Not only the young man, but also the burly middle-aged man with black horns on the other side and the female domain lord with oil paint on her face were swept away and crashed heavily to the ground.

Then Perseus charged out with his spear, and using the momentum from the swinging of the Hun Tian Ling, he delivered a Phoenix Nod, slashing down at the remaining Domain Lord level elders.

"Get out of here!!!"

Sensing a potentially fatal crisis, the old man disregarded his concealment and immediately took out the fourth-tier 'Burning' potion he had prepared beforehand, put it in his mouth, and drank it down in one gulp.

In an instant, the golden light surged.

The five layers of the Metal Domain overlapped continuously, their sharp edges seemingly capable of shattering the heavens.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

There is a difference of more than ten times in basic physical qualities, and there is also a huge gap in their understanding of the laws. At this point, the only thing the old man can be praised for compared to Perseus is probably his age.

A domain lord who has lived for ten thousand years...

They've been stuck at the low-level domain lord level for ten thousand years. Shouldn't they reflect on whether they've made any effort all these years?

"Die!"

Before the shouts arrived, a glimmer of cold light appeared before them. At first, it was faint, but in an instant, it grew as large as a star. A terrifying fireball of lava erupted continuously as the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) swirled around it. Everything inside was reduced to nothingness under this terrifying heat, including the armor, the broadsword-wielding primal weapon, and even the old man whose strength was at the fourth level of the Domain Lord realm.

Look ahead.

Perseus pressed on and appeared in front of the woman in the oil paint.

"Perseus, I..."

With a thrust of the burning spear and a twist of the Hun Tian Ling, another fireball burst forth before the eyes of the other two domain lords.

Then came the burly middle-aged man, the only remaining one wielding a double-headed sword.

The four domain lords died within a few dozen breaths. Perseus watched as Number 1, carrying a 'camera' and controlling a mechanical puppet, slowly flew towards them, and raised his hand to shut down the live broadcast.

Just before the image completely disappeared.

The allies from Galer Star whom he had invited, as well as the other powerful figures he had befriended, all heard a command that showed no mercy whatsoever.

"Destroy them!"

"Use the planet-destroying cannon to wash the entire planet clean. I don't like this planet, Gulan, and I don't need another life-bearing planet... so it has no reason to exist."
