Li Qianxia and Itheri silently left the control center.

Returning to the corridor they had come from, they happened to witness Luo Lei in her final moment with the furry alien.

Taking advantage of her agile figure, Luo Lei tripped the furry alien to the ground, and without allowing it to rise, she pressed her knee down on its head. She then pushed the significantly reduced red light wave blade, as if feeding it, into the furry alien's brain.

The furry alien struggled a couple of times, then fell silent.

"Ha... Ha..." Luo Lei seemed to remember to breathe, as she began to pant. She turned her head to lock eyes with the other two in silence.

"Mission complete," Itheri smiled.

Luo Lei stood up, her black armor torn and tattered, yet her slender figure remained proudly upright.

"Let's go," said Li Qianxia as her red Divine Will spread out, concealing the doctor.

The three of them walked toward the exit.

At the same time, the self-talking Konglu got the news.

"My Lord, the Constant Star's trajectory is off!" said the voice of the Angel, accompanied by the sounds of ongoing explosions. It seemed as though she was being chased by something.

"Off track?" Konglu paused for a moment, then opened the monitoring screen.

In the sky, the ring of light and heat was slowly moving, very slowly, but unstoppably.

"What's going on?" Konglu roared, and another image popped up on the screen.

In the pitch-darkness of space, a figure stood upon a war-chariot-like cloud of black mist, holding a long whip, lashing at countless beasts. The ring-shaped Constant Star, like cargo, was slowly being pulled off its trajectory.

"My Lord, what do we do now?"

Konglu didn't speak, watching the scene for a long time, unable to utter a word.

He sighed, "...Let it be."

The holographic image disappeared, and the control center returned to silence.

◇

Li Qianxia stepped outside, where the war had ceased. Some of the mechanical beasts they had been fighting against had even started rescue and repair operations.

In the sky, the blood-colored Divine Will crumbled, the Butcher disconnected from 'acting'.

Meteorites sparsely fell, occasionally struck by fighter jets blasting them into pieces, emitting a trail of black smoke. Changzhou and Princess were retracting their guns, like a cat retracting its claws.

Amidst the roaring sounds, a fighter jet flew over, landing on the ground and transforming into a three-meter tall mechanical dinosaur.

Explosions still echoed in the distance, Bi was clashing with the Angel.

Against this backdrop, the ring-shaped Sun was moving away.

Little Radish poked its head out from in front of Li Qianxia.

"It's finally over! Hmm—" Li Qianxia stretched languidly, showcasing her delicate waist. Now she could rest for a month.

Everyone relaxed a bit in unison.

"No one would have thought our mission was to destroy the controller," said Itheri, laughing as she brushed her shiny silver hair, looking exhausted.

"Luckily, your ex-boyfriend died early and didn't know about our plan," Li Qianxia said bluntly, both tired and excited. It was only after she spoke that she realized how impolite that sounded.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to gloat over his death," she said.

Itheri shrugged, "Dead ex-boyfriends are the best kind. Would you wish your ex to be alive and well, swanning around with a hundred million Divine Will Coins?"

"Is that so? I don't have an ex-boyfriend, so I don't really understand," Li Qianxia replied.

"What? No ex-boyfriend? You don't mean—"

"Something's not right," Luo Lei suddenly interjected.

Everyone was startled and looked at her abruptly, like a bunch of loose iron needles suddenly drawn by a magnet.

"What's wrong?" Li Qianxia asked hurriedly.

Luo Lei said to the main brain on her arm, "Tentacles, check the Constant Star's status."

"I'm currently busy with repairs—"

"Quickly."

"—Alright... what are these people doing?!" Da Yi's voice, initially nonchalant, turned puzzled and shocked.

Without waiting for the anxious crowd to ask, the image was directly synced to Luo Lei's personal main brain.

In the display, near Konglu Star's orbit, the space was filled with docked spaceships, the vessels of the Konglu people who had fled to seek refuge either before or during the battle.

At that moment, the grand fleet of ships was interlinking with each other.

Luxurious ships of the wealthy were docking with the simple miners' ships, massive commercial vessels with personal craft... They were firing their thrusters, adjusting positions, clustering together like a gathering of fireflies.

The number of ships kept increasing, the light getting brighter, and even the naked eye could see a bright star twinkling in the sky.

"What are they doing?" Li Qianxia, like Da Yi before her, was puzzled.

"Trying to pull back the Artificial Constant Star," Luo Lei said calmly, a hint of surprise in her voice.

"That's impossible," Itheri objected, "The Constant Star Controller has been destroyed. No one can shut it down. With the materials these ships are made of, they can't even get close!"

"They can," said Luo Lei.

"How?" Itheri fixated on her.

Luo Lei didn't say anything, instead looking at the screen projected from her main brain.

In the deep-sea darkness of space, hundreds of white ships were flying straight towards the Constant Star that emitted endless heat. Da Yi locked on to one of them, magnifying it.

Alien alphabets, which Li Qianxia couldn't read, but thanks to Value's translation, subtitles appeared below just like in a game.

[Constant Star Maintenance Unit 106]

She and Itheri were astonished, their mouths slightly agape as they understood what the people of Konglu Star were trying to achieve.

These Constant Star maintenance ships linked one after another, turning the bodies of the ships into two ropes.

At one end of the ropes, six maintenance ships docked at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions of the Constant Star; on the other, six ships connected with the 'firefly cluster.'

Itheri looked up, her gaze swiftly scanning the surroundings. She caught a Konglu star mechanical man with her brain waves and hacked into it.

"Are you going to take down those ships?" Li Qianxia asked.
