"Klishia, all calibrations are complete. Ready to launch."

"Good, launch."

Klishia issued the order without hesitation.

Just then, Ke Yalate flew over in his mecha, and his voice echoed in the public channel.

"Stop, cease operations."

The Blue Whale, prepared to launch, immediately halted.

A flicker of anger crossed Klishia's eyes. She coldly asked, "Ke Yalate, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just stopping the operation. And Klishia, there's no need to be so angry."

Ke Yalate said in high spirits.

"Enough nonsense, get out of the way! Resume operations."

Klishia said mercilessly.

"Operations are forbidden."

Ke Yalate sneered.

"What exactly do you want?"

"I don't want anything. It's what do *you* want? You need to understand, we're only pretending to serve Xinghuan City, not truly working for them. You're being a bit too enthusiastic, aren't you?"

"I don't need you to remind me. Get out of the way."

"What if I refuse?"

"If you refuse, I'll go to Father and report you. We'll see if Father helps me or you."

Klishia was also getting anxious, directly breaking with Ke Yalate. She knew how important this operation was to Xinghuan City.

"Haha, you don't need to report me to Father. I'll tell you the truth. It was Father who told me to do this."

Ke Yalate said smugly.

"How is that possible?"

Hearing this, Klishia's heart sank to the bottom.

"And stop pretending. You've colluded with Xinghuan City, betraying the Immortal Empire time and time again. Did you really think Father didn't know? Take her down!"

Ke Yalate waved his hand, and immediately mecha surrounded Klishia.

Klishia turned her head, looking at the surrounding mecha. She instinctively drew her cyan spear, adopting a defensive posture.

Ke Yalate, watching this scene, said.

"I advise you to give up resisting. Father is watching."

Klishia turned her head to look at the Star Destroyer not far away. Her expression changed several times. In the end, she chose to give up resisting, loosened her grip, and threw down the weapon in her hand.

"Very good!"

Ke Yalate's smile grew brighter.

At that moment, the surrounding mecha immediately rushed forward, directly capturing Klishia.

Immediately afterwards, the Immortal Empire's forces began to descend, establishing a temporary camp on the spot.

...

Ring Star Sea. Su Mo, piloting the V-generation bio-mecha, Kuangyan Leinhawk (Mad-Eye Leinhawk), flew alone towards Earth Star.

Before long, Su Mo arrived above Freedom City.

The entire Freedom City was dilapidated. It was evident that the city had experienced countless baptisms of war.

Local explosions could still be seen from time to time.

Su Mo glanced over and manipulated the mecha to land inside the ruined administrative building. He saw that Speaker Alres was already waiting.

*Ka~*

The cockpit opened, and Su Mo flipped out, landing cleanly and crisply.

"Su Mo!"

Alres extended his hand with a beaming smile, embracing Su Mo.

"Speaker Alres."

Su Mo also showed a brilliant smile. The two were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

"I'm so happy to see you. When I received your message, I was really surprised. I didn't expect you to actually come back. Let's leave together this time. With you here, I'll feel more at ease."

Alres said from the bottom of his heart.

After hearing this, Su Mo shook his head with a smile.

"Aren't you all evacuating? Aren't you leaving?"

Alres was very surprised and puzzled.

"I still have things to do. I can't leave."

"Very important?"

"Yes."

Su Mo smiled and responded.

"Then I won't try to persuade you."

Alres was also very smart, and didn't try to persuade him any further.

"Well, the main reason I came to see you this time is for two things. One thing is about the evacuation. Although Goli is assisting, I estimate that the Federation will also have a hard time evacuating."

Su Mo chatted as he strolled with Alres.

"Yes."

Alres did not deny it.

"Send more people to help at the Prison of Hearts, and repair the Prison of Hearts so that it can operate normally. The internal space of the Prison of Hearts is very large, and it can assist you in evacuating at that time."

Su Mo said directly.

"That's great."

Alres was very happy to hear this.

"The other thing is, how is the production of the anti-matter weapons I commissioned the Federation to produce? I need supplies now."

Su Mo then asked.

"That batch of weapons is almost produced. It has already entered the final process. Give me seven more days, and it will definitely be completed."

Alres assured Su Mo. Of course, it wasn't that the Federation wasn't strong enough.

The main reason was that the production process of anti-matter weapons was very complicated. Su Mo provided a huge amount of raw materials, and in addition, they had been attacked repeatedly during this period, so it had not been completed. Otherwise, it would have been completed long ago.

"I don't have that much time. Can you work overtime and rush it out for me?"

Su Mo frowned slightly. If it were normal times, these wouldn't matter. But now he really felt it was imminent, and his eyelids kept twitching.

Alres also saw the seriousness of the matter. He pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, give me three more days, and I guarantee that I will produce it for you."

"Okay!"

Su Mo calculated. Three days would work.

"Also, since you need this batch of weapons so much, then when it is produced, there is no need to leave that 30% for the Federation. You can take it all!"

Alres thought for a few seconds and said to Su Mo.

"Alright."

Su Mo didn't decline, after all, Negative God Star was so dangerous.

Afterwards, Alres reached out and patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, you must take care of yourself. I hope we won't have to wait too long for our next meeting."

"It will."

Su Mo smiled and responded.

Negative God Star.

Immortal Empire temporary garrison, Eli Temporary Base.

Klishia was held alone in an electronic prison. She sat on the edge of the bed, her hands and feet fitted with special electronic handcuffs.

She stared blankly at the metal wall, lost in thought.

Two Immortal Empire experts wearing V-generation mechanical armor personally guarded the door, discussing in low voices.

"What exactly happened to Princess Klishia? Why was she suddenly imprisoned?"

"I heard she betrayed the Immortal Empire and defected to Xinghuan City."

"That reason is too far-fetched, isn't it? Didn't the Emperor initially instruct Princess Klishia to approach Xinghuan City?"

"I'm also very puzzled. However, several people have been interrogating her in the past few days. Princess Klishia hasn't been very cooperative, and they haven't been able to find out why."

"I have a guess. Do you think it's possible that Princess Klishia lost in the competition with Eldest Prince Ke Yalate?"

"Possibly, after all, a princess can't compare to a prince. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Lest we get burned."
