Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 598 - 584 Two Chancellors (Part Five)

"The Instant Stargate, well, I don't have that either." Bai Zhongqi said with slight self-deprecation, admitting he hadn't even touched that branch of the tech tree.

The so-called Instant Stargate involves the construction of a stargate array to form a temporary stargate. Compared to a permanent stargate, it has a slightly lower technological threshold, but the downside is its immense energy consumption. Each use results in the destruction of the stargate carrier, along with poor stability, and occasionally, the spaceships passing through might end up in unknown locations.

By comparison, the Elder Race's nearly irrational space-time jumps were on a completely different level.

In just an instant, Bai Zhongqi understood Xiao Yu's plan.

"…Objectively speaking, the Star Alliance warships are not inferior to my Swarm warships, arguably even slightly stronger than those of the four Military Lords. However, with such a vast numerical difference, three legions of the Star Alliance couldn't possibly fight it out. Thus, Xiao Yu decisively chose to use the Instant Stargate he had embedded as a hidden move, enabling his fleet to escape and thus preserve his strength."

Bai Zhongqi calculated his own actions and Xiao Yu's responses. Should the battle have continued to the end, he clearly would have had the upper hand. Although Earth wasn't recovered and had to be encapsulated within a glass sphere, removing the Star Alliance's most vital planet and defeating three Star Alliance legions still allowed Bai Zhongqi to demonstrate his might in this battle of revenge. Regardless of what Xiao Yu had in reserve, such a strong opening was undisputed.

However, if Xiao Yu truly managed to withdraw the legions from the chessboard, even partially, for Bai Zhongqi, that would at best be a slightly advantageous situation. The Star Alliance ultimately had deeper resources. Allowing Xiao Yu to meticulously gather his fleets would mean that even with a strong hand, the battle would be hard fought for Bai Zhongqi.

He quickly weighed the gains and losses and resolved that he would not let Xiao Yu succeed at all costs.

The Earth's Instant Stargate could be considered a highly competent space engineering feat, covered by a defensive platform and supported by multiple layers of Shield Sharing energy shields. Since an Instant Stargate ceases to exist once its carrier is destroyed, each carrier needed to be well-protected. Along with the necessity to boost protection for the warships themselves, this setup rendered the attack by Bai Zhongqi's thousands of warships quite ineffective.

Xiao Yu even sacrificed the Thirty-Seventh Legion to stall Bai Zhongqi's main fleet, better securing the retreat.

Looking at this, Xiao Yu indeed proved himself a skilled Commander. Skilled in strategy and ruthless in execution, he could turn a disadvantageous situation into a relatively advantageous one.

"Bai Zhongqi, these ten thousand warships might not be all the warships you have, but they're certainly your main force. Yet, such a scale is nothing to me. How many of Star Alliance's legions can you swallow? But should thirty or more Star Alliance legions surround you, even if you have some decent-looking warships, what impact could you possibly have on the overall battle? I'm actually very much looking forward to the moment I defeat you on the battlefield and utterly crush you," Xiao Yu's voice was cold but seemingly satisfied.

At this moment, Bai Zhongqi asked, "Turning the entirely human-composed Thirty-Seventh Legion into a sacrificed piece while withdrawing the Bionic Human-composed Jinyi Army, you want me to be drenched with the blood of Star Alliance humans, correct?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but finally burst into laughter.

"Although you're not a born leader, you certainly are not foolish. This is only part of the reason. Take ten steps back; even if you really succeed in defeating me, by that time, you would have destroyed much of the Star Alliance you helped build. The people of this civilization will hate you more than they hate me. You killed their brothers, sisters, and kin; you destroyed their homes; you brought death and injury to millions in this civilization; you will be the true devil. Whereas I, will be seen as the hero who fought for the people of the Star Alliance, regardless of their past dislike for me, for I led them to protect their current way of life."

Another part of the reason, hehe, you have always cared about humans but failed to utilize the greatest strength of the Bionic Humans and AI that Iridium Star heavily relies on. Originally, an army corp like the Thirty-Seventh had no way to compare with the powerful Jinwu Army Corp. What I did was simply a comparison, keeping the good fighters and discarding the unreliable, the eternal rule of the battlefield."

Bai Zhongqi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and his hatred for Xiao Yu deepened. Previously, his understanding of this treacherous villain had always been vague. He despised this insidious man for taking everything from him, but he had never realized just how venomous this person could be.

Before returning to the Second Universe, Bai Zhongqi had prepared for his revenge, targeting his own indecisiveness, determined to carry through with his vengeance regardless of the cost and casualties. However, Xiao Yu naturally turned this to his advantage.

Indeed, you, Bai Zhongqi, could kill off nine-tenths of the Star Alliance population, but the remaining one or two tenths will never again see you as a worthy Chancellor. It was you, Bai Zhongqi, who killed their families and compatriots, you who trampled on their civilization and homeland, while Xiao Yu is their protector, their Chancellor.

It could be said, after Xiao Yu truly became the Chancellor of the Star Alliance, this civilization had split from Bai Zhongqi. He might have been the pioneer who established this civilization, the founder of its fundamental principles, but he is not the guardian of civilization, nor its leader—he could only be the gravedigger of this civilization.

Bai Zhongqi felt a fleeting disillusionment, and inevitably felt wounded in his heart, "It seems the cost of revenge is the destruction of the Star Alliance I built."

However, when he looked up again at the violet glow of the Instant Stargate, his eyes sparkled with an extremely dangerous and resolute light.

"So what? Destroy one Star Alliance and build another! An Earth conquered by me will be in my pocket, even if you, with your cunning and persuasive words, try to rally the people of the Star Alliance, we shall see who is truly capable of winning over their hearts." Bai Zhongqi laughed boldly, controlling his Soul Destroyer Mecha to suddenly activate Instant Flash, and directly darted into the shield of the Instant Stargate.

A large warship like the Blade Empress would struggle with such a short-range warp, but there was no such problem with the compact Soul Destroyer.

Bai Zhongqi deployed the Ship-Slicing Saber of the Soul Destroyer, swinging it fiercely at a giant carrier part of the Instant Stargate.

Endless firepower aimed at the Soul Destroyer, and even though Xiao Yu did not speak, Bai Zhongqi could feel the urgency in the barrage.

With one slash, the carrier was destroyed.

The Instant Stargate immediately became inactive.

While the Stargate had just formed and was still stabilizing, ships could not yet pass through, and two Jinwu Army Corps were gathering and adjusting, preparing to approach the Stargate. But unexpectedly, before they could enter, the Stargate was already destroyed.

"Unfortunately for you, today you won't take a single ship away." Bai Zhongqi said, looking into the endless expanse of space.
