Mysterious lights of various colors floated and intermingled against the backdrop of space, making one's heart flutter with unease. The passengers on the spaceship were very scared; the ship hadn't traveled for over a month. Although the ship could produce food and water, the various uncertainties still made everyone anxious.
The galaxy-renowned Feiju Star songstress Yalu said with some regret, "We definitely won't make it to our concert on Dolphin Star now."
Taiya said indifferently, "It doesn't matter anyway, our agency didn't sign a contract with them, so we don't have to pay any compensation."
Their leader, Lina, crossed her legs, radiating an aura of aggression, "With such a major upheaval happening in the galaxy, I doubt anyone's in the mood to hold concerts now. After space around us stabilizes, we should head back to Bupinga Star to regroup."
The baby-faced girl, Xiaomi, flashed a victory sign, "Yay, we finally get a vacation."
At that moment, the electronic door to their rest room opened, and a short girl with green hair and a flat chest walked in, her waist pinched, followed by a round-faced young man with a somewhat naïve and shy demeanor.
The green-haired girl blurted out, "It has been confirmed that Dolphin Star was destroyed in a space riot three days ago, so, ladies, we don't need to go anywhere."
The already famous songstresses in the galaxy were astonished, and being naturally kind-hearted, they also felt sorrow for the destroyed Dolphin Star.
Seeing the sad expressions of the girls, the round-faced young man almost felt his heart pierced with pain, and he quickly said, "Everyone, don't be too sad. These things are unavoidable; all kinds of natural and man-made disasters happen in the universe. No matter what happens, I, Morin, will protect you all, even at the cost of my life."
Lina stood up, saluted Morin slightly, and said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, right now the entire galaxy is undergoing significant changes. Perhaps it would be better for you to return to the Lien Xi Empire, to be with your family and civilization."
Morin quickly shook his head and said, "No need, no need, there's nothing I can do if I go back. My father has so many sons who can help him. The Lien Xi Empire is one of the ten giants of the High Council; it couldn't possibly run into trouble. On the other hand, it is far too terrifying to imagine what could happen to you in such a dangerous universe without someone to protect you."
Lina shook her head almost imperceptibly; Morin was undoubtedly a die-hard fan of their galaxy-fighting songstresses, his life seeming to revolve only around star-chasing. This Ninth Prince of the Lien Xi Empire, one of the ten great civilizations, had not only forsaken his own civilization and potential claims to the throne but had also brought his private fleet to serve as their backup team, guarding and escorting them all the way.
The Ninth Prince was like an unshakeable plaster on their lives, sticking close to them.
In fact, this Ninth Prince now also served as one of the managers of the All-Galaxy Support Group for the Galaxy Battle Songstresses, managing the fan communities of the songstresses across the galaxy with remarkable organization, truly living up to his origins as a prince from a major civilization.
At that moment, the green-haired girl said, "Anyway, let's return to Bupinga Star first after this space storm."
The space storm, which had lasted nearly a month, ended not long after, and the green-haired girl led the galaxy battle songstresses, along with the Ninth Prince and his backup fan fleet, back to the headquarters of the galaxy battle songstresses, the commercial planet Bupinga.
However, what the songstresses hadn't expected was that when they arrived at Bupinga, they found that the planet was completely different from the one they remembered. Hundreds of massive warships were stationed in its orbit, in a high state of alert, and the orbits of the nearby gravity wells were littered with debris from warships and space facilities.
"Those warships, they look somewhat like the Star Alliance's warships, don't they..." Yalu said uncertainly.
Lina furrowed her beautiful brows, "Shouldn't the Star Alliance have already been re-subjugated by Chancellor Bai Zhongqi? They shouldn't be in this universe anymore, why would they appear here?"
Emerald Sea hummed, "Because these guys are neither from the Star Alliance nor Iridium Star people at all."
She waved her hand impatiently, "Although I knew these guys were always sneaking around, I never expected that they would actually take over our base. Hey, there are many years of my investment in that place, I need to have a word with them."
Xiaomi asked curiously, "Who exactly are they?"
Emerald Sea briefly replied, "A bunch of junk metal and wandering spirits, along with parasitic body-snatchers."
With that, her figure disappeared from the spacecraft's rest area.
Standing on the outskirts, Prince Morin clicked his tongue in wonder, "A Star God like Miss Emerald Sea, no matter which civilization she goes to, is a superpower that they would spare no effort to recruit for all the benefits she could bring. Having such a reliable big shot as the manager of a Galaxy Songstress is a truly great thing."
Now without a manager, Morin's gaze towards the songstresses became a bit bolder, but there was no threat in his eyes, just a pure fanaticism as one might regard a goddess. This look made the young women quite uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do. After all, this was an obsessed fan who had abandoned his empire to follow stars.
Emerald Sea instantly appeared on Bupinga Star, and her arrival immediately sparked chaos. Large groups of mechanical soldiers swarmed, surrounding her.
"Lexington, Hood, Bismarck, Akagi, no use hiding, come out and meet a guest."
From a nearby troop transport spacecraft, several stunning women descended, one dressed in a pure white sailor dress and thigh-high socks, another in an elaborate navy general's uniform with red-framed glasses, one in a black navy dress uniform with light white short hair, and the last one in a kimono with waterfall-like long hair, carrying a longbow on her back.
The woman named Hood pushed her glasses up, her soft voice nevertheless icy, "The idea of 'meeting a guest' sounds like we're in a service industry, quite rude, Miss Emerald Sea."
Emerald Sea sarcastically said, "You guys who try to act human without a trace of human nature, weren't you originally created to serve humans? Even your esteemed Chancellor Bai Zhongqi ended up with an S-grade artificial intelligence bionic human as a mistress to warm his bed, didn't he?"
At the mention of Zero, a hint of eagerness appeared in the eyes of the four girls. Lexington spoke in a voice brimming with mature charm, "Miss Sacred Falcon is the pinnacle of what we S-grade artificial intelligences aspire to reach. To gain a true soul like hers would indeed be the best thing ever."
Emerald Sea, possibly with an EQ of zero, taunted, "Keep dreaming."
