The death of the Swarm Empress caused the genetic collapse of all Insectoids in the swarm. All Insectoids crazily trying to rush into the small spatial seal started to explode as if microwaved, their entire bodies began to burst apart, in actuality, every single cell in their bodies disintegrated. The DNA, the skeletal backbone of their life, could no longer sustain, leading to their complete collapse.
Hundreds of billions of Insectoids exploded in space, the spectacle was so magnificent it resembled watching fireworks. Bai Zhongqi, witnessing such a scene, couldn't help but excitedly rise from his throne, raising his arms and shouting, overwhelmed with enthusiasm.
Zero joyfully hugged Bai Zhongqi, giving him a quick peck on the lips, "We won!"
Bai Zhongqi patted her with a smile, "This was what we expected to happen."
Before him was a holographic image showing all the officers and soldiers from the entire United Empire Fleet cheering joyfully. Though the duration of this war was brief, the suffering and destruction it brought to the galaxy were exceptionally immense. Many officers and soldiers of the Unified Empire who participated in this war had friends and family who perished. The slogan of the Unified Empire Army was also to eliminate the celestial disaster and restore peace and stability to the galaxy.
Today, through arduous battles, they exhibited their courage and determination, showcased their skills, and achieved a significant victory. Undoubtedly, they will be regarded as heroes, respected and celebrated by the people.
"The Iridium Star United Empire will finally govern the entire galaxy as a unified empire," Zero's face was full of smiles.
Bai Zhongqi was also pleased, but he had not completely relaxed. The Void disaster remained, and the Galactic Emperor was missing, and most importantly, the culprits responsible for all, Nan Ma and other Pilgrims.
Zero reminded at this moment, "Your Majesty, First Divine General Lv Zhinian has a report."
The holographic image formed Lv Zhinian's figure, who greeted Bai Zhongqi with great respect and then took out a pitch-black "stone."
"Your Majesty, the Swarm Empress is dead, this is the heart of the swarm left behind by her, perhaps containing vital information about the Swarm disaster, I will later order someone to deliver it to you. Additionally, before she died, she mentioned the Swarm disaster communicated with the Void Demons; the Void Demons seem to be controlled by Nan Ma and are lurking ready to strike us fatally."
Bai Zhongqi and Zero were extremely stunned by this news.
"Nan Ma controlled the Void Demons and cooperated with the swarm?" This development was rather unexpected for Bai Zhongqi, the possibility of disasters appearing together had always been low, forming a cooperative relationship was even more inconceivable.
Nan Ma had continually provided surprises, if Nan Ma truly controlled the Void Demons, then the threat to the Iridium Star United Empire and himself became even greater.
Lv Zhinian said, "It's assumed Nan Ma didn't expect us to defeat the swarm without paying a significant price, he can't see the situation inside the spatial seal, he might proceed as planned, at that time, it would probably require the Valkyrie Legion from your chancellor to deal with these Void Warships."
Bai Zhongqi understood that the Void Demons, which don't fundamentally exist in the material world, cannot be measured by life. They themselves exist in the void, so the means of spatial seal cannot impede their progress. Of course, they indeed cannot see the situation inside the spatial seal, so it should be as Lv Zhinian said, they don't know the Iridium Star people have neatly wiped out the swarm.
Lv Zhinian continued at this moment, "According to the legacy of my First Divine General, Void Demons would heed the command of the person possessing the Eye of the Void, presumably Nan Ma has the Eye of the Void. If we can seize it, naturally Nan Ma cannot continue controlling Void Demons to fight."
"Is it so?" Bai Zhongqi said.
Lv Zhinian finished reporting and withdrew, but Bai Zhongqi's doubts grew larger.
Zero could see Bai Zhongqi's mood, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Zhongqi sighed, "Lv Zhinian might have an issue."
"Why say that, didn't he perform outstandingly? He formulated excellent strategic procedures for the Unified Empire Army, also took down the Swarm Empress, presented the heart of the swarm, and timely alerted us about the Void Demons. Are you still worried about the risk of him maintaining galactic peace as First Divine General?"
Bai Zhongqi shook his head, "No, I always feel that Lv Zhinian's appearance and subsequent actions are not simple, I always feel he has a purpose in every action, but what that purpose is still unknown, this person must be guarded against."
Zero's eyes flashed cold, she said, "If you suspect him, we can just eliminate him directly."
Bai Zhongqi said, "No rush, let's wait and see. Do you know about this thing, the heart of the swarm?"
Zero shook her head blankly, "I don't know, but I feel that what Lv Zhinian obtained is indeed greatly related to the swarm, but I seem to lack this thing."
Bai Zhongqi doubted, "Lv Zhinian seems to highly value this heart of the swarm, also he specifically mentioned the void eye controlled by Nan Ma, maybe these things are correlated."
"Then let's let Linyin study it," Zero proposed.
"First, let's confront the void, the tally with Nan Ma is accumulating too much, if not solved in one go, it becomes quite tiresome."
Bai Zhongqi ordered without stopping for the Unified Empire Army, Iridium Star Army to start preparing and retreating, with the Blade Legion and Guard Legion offering winged protection, while he mobilized the active Valkyrie Legion to form several complete battle formations, from a visual standpoint, it resembled a magnificent army formation of ancient Roman infantry.
On the other hand, Bai Zhongqi also deployed his Elder Ship, the unique aspect of the Void disaster compared to other disasters is that material weapons are difficult to defeat Void Demons, these are inherently non-material attribute monsters, though weakened by persistent material erosion, materials cannot cause lethal damage to them.
Only primordial matter, as the source of all material creation, can genuinely destruct the void. But this destructive effect is, in fact, mutual neutralization, meaning primordial matter disappears void also vanishes, creating a virtually metaphysical state of mysticism.
Although it's a loss for Bai Zhongqi's primordial matter, it can effectively kill Void Demons. If Nan Ma is truly behind the Void Demons, he does not mind catching this bald fellow out, thoroughly solving the universe's confinement situation, reconnecting this world with others, and receiving aid from other Elder Races to catch the Pilgrims.
