Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 5 Slaughter, A New Attempt

How long does it take to rule a planet?

The answer is 3 hours.

Although the technology of Kungula Star has advanced to the level of two thousand years ago, the countries here are far less diverse than those on Earth.

The future Federation, the Ral Empire.

Divided by the Eternal Mountains in the center of the continent of Quintos, the entire planet is divided into two major powers: one governed by a council, and the other following an ancient imperial system.

Nolan and Perseus quickly assigned their respective tasks.

Nolan headed north, taking control of the scattered heads of parliamentary families one by one, tasked with waking up these stagnant fools.

As for Perseus...

When he appeared in the magnificent hall representing royal power, placed one foot on the top of the sacred throne, and snapped his fingers crisply, the richly dressed figures below became dazed, their eyes vacant, and they all bowed and scraped, kneeling on the ground like dogs.

Three hours was probably just the time it took the servants to travel.

With the fall of the highest level, Nolan and Perseus became an indelible shadow for the Kungula aliens, shattering their pride piece by piece with their absolute power.

It is quite obvious that there are always some people in the world who lack sufficient self-awareness and believe they can turn the tide even when they are completely at a disadvantage.

……

"Kill this intruder—"

The young leader appeared to be issuing orders with deep sorrow, but in reality, he was turning the sword against his father. Dense artillery fire rained down on the magnificent palace from afar, as if to tear everything in front of him to shreds.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

The speed of a star-level expert can reach tens of kilometers per second. They control telekinetic weapons with their mental power, so their speed can only be faster.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

All the incoming artillery fire was shattered one by one in the gleam of the flames.

The next second, the blond, blue-eyed imperial prince was also stomped to the ground, looking at Perseus as he stretched out his palm and clenched his fist slightly towards the army he had called upon.

Countless bursts of blood exploded amidst the fireworks.

After the attack, only smoke and a huge crater remained. Prince Kahn's ambitious pupils contracted violently with fear, and his body began to tremble involuntarily... He was afraid!

Faced with absolute power, the oppression brought by sheer numbers is utterly ineffective.

The Empire and the Federation had long sought to escape this planet on the verge of destruction, sending countless messages into space over the years. However, they never imagined that the first thing the alien life form would do was to overthrow their rule.

"To submit, or to be destroyed?"

A devilish whisper rang in my ears, spoken in pure Kungula language, an ancient language usually reserved for nobles.

"I promise you, will you take us to the universe?"

Do you still have a choice?

"I agree!"

Perseus loosened his legs, letting Kahn get up from the ground. Blood was still streaming down the young man's face, but his eyes revealed undisguised ambition.

"A wise decision."

Perseus glanced at the prince with his own ulterior motives before him, then looked at the emperor, ministers, and nobles slowly approaching from behind, and a smile crept onto his lips.

"From this day forward, the empire shall respect me."

"I only need one voice. You all need to think clearly about who you're working for. It's about time to settle all the old scores..."

Changes in regime always involve bloodshed.

The future Federation and the Ral Empire fell on the same day, and the price of changing the rulers was naturally built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The bloodshed that lasted for seven days resulted in a pile of heads that could circle the imperial city.

If the Devouring Star exists as a hell or underworld, the wails of countless souls would probably last for tens of thousands of years.

However, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. Three hundred years of growth have long since made Perseus lose his cheap sympathy and learn to think from the perspective of the Yanji descendants.

There was no reason why the four top clans attacked them in the first place.

In this cruel universe, weakness is the original sin.

Humanity suppressed the remnants of the Yanji tribe with ruthless methods, and today, the planet Kungula has been overthrown because of this. This is also the choice made by the original universe for these humans.

……

"Two tasks."

In the spotless room that exuded a touch of luxury, Perseus sat upright like a Buddha, looking down at Kahn, who stood respectfully below.

"First, collect body tissues from all species south of the mainland and on the seabed. When collecting body tissues, select the best individuals of the same species as much as possible, whether it's a part or all of them."

"Secondly, temporarily store all the metals in your entire empire, whether they have been mined now or will be mined later, in that valley north of the city."

Kahn frowned upon hearing this.

"Do we humans need to collect body tissue?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with collecting metals. Since he was going to leave Kungula Star, he naturally wanted to take as many resources as possible with him.

Just body tissue... Do these aliens conduct human experiments?

"Use the heart or somewhere else? When extracting genes, should we select those with higher activity, or should we kill the animal immediately?"

Perseus, who only wanted a blood sample: "..."

"I think you're quite outstanding!"

Height, build, intelligence... Perseus deliberately glanced at Kahn with the same look he gave to appraise goods, but to his surprise, the latter actually started to seriously consider the question.

"I still have to do something for you, sir. I can probably only take a little flesh and blood. Do you want an arm or a leg?"

As he spoke, Wolf Exterminator actually pulled out a knife.

Perseus couldn't help but twitch his lips twice. "Blood will do!"

The extinction of Kungula Star is something that will happen three years from now. Even if he were to take action, it would be a swift and decisive blow, without causing them too much suffering.

And look at this Prince Kahn in front of me...

Indeed, none of the rulers of the feudal imperial system were kind.

Perseus impatiently sent Kahn off to complete the mission, and he also contacted Nolan. They reached a consensus and decided to place the sample submission location in the Eternal Mountains.

……

The Yongheng Mountains have been the dividing line between north and south since ancient times.

Because the highest point of the mountain is over 30,000 meters high, and there is a terrible cold current in between, even if you take the highest level of flight equipment on Kungula Star, it will take at least three days to climb and cross the north and south.

But at this moment.

The mountain, which had remained unbroken for countless years, was brutally torn in two, creating a rift valley. The black cliff edges bore faint scorch marks, and the road below even bore traces of fingerprints.

Seeing this, the royal family and the parliament opposite them tacitly abandoned any underhanded tactics.

Similarly, once the Secret Pattern Flying Tower officially landed, all sorts of metal and biological samples were transported here and continuously fed into the spaceship.

However, Nolan couldn't resist accepting the "local specialties" sent by the council.

Seeing his childhood friend, surrounded by women on both sides, reacting to these weak ants, Perseus couldn't help but shake his head.

I'm so hungry!

He then closed the laboratory door and continued his experiment, preparing to use the puzzle pieces to assemble biological element cards to verify his hypothesis, and also try to make weapons and armor.
