Wasteland's Only King

And now?

This man, gazing at the colossal fortress wreckage before him, so vast it nearly blotted out the starry sky, fell into complete silence.

On the wreckage, there was a remarkably clear number — V-101.

V-101, the main fortress of Serenity Civilization’s leader, Ryan Serrena…

“It’s over!”

“The Serenity Civilization, it’s over!”

The man muttered incessantly, hoarsely.

There was no joy on his face at the downfall of an old rival.

Quite the contrary.

The emotion called fear grew wildly in his heart, like wild grass.

Blaze and Serenity, they were merely evenly matched!

If Serenity can be destroyed so completely…

Blaze could be too!

“Who?”

“Who could it be?”

“Destroyed all of Serenity’s fortress warships within half a month and left without a trace…”

The man murmured to himself, but his flickering eyes already had an answer.

“Celestial God Civilization!”

“It must be the Celestial God Civilization, only they possess such terrifying power!”

“No way!”

“I must report this intelligence to the Lord at the fastest speed!”

…

…

Drake-3 Star System Wasteland.

Central Star Realm.

Ninety-nine percent of the Celestial God Civilization’s fortress warships had already been deployed.

The only thing left was the central fortress where Han Ling was located, along with an extremely formidable escort fleet.

The search for Yu Jin was the top priority for the Celestial God Civilization in the foreseeable future, but as the Lord, Han Ling still had to hold the main fortress.

At this moment.

Inside the central fortress.

On the throne, Han Ling’s face was extremely grim.

Before him, a general of the Celestial God Civilization was kneeling, reporting the intelligence just gathered.

“Serenity Civilization…”

“A civilization ranked in the top hundred, was completely annihilated about half a month ago!”

“The neighboring Blaze Civilization discovered this information and reported the matter to all the top hundred ranked civilizations on the communication server!”

“In a very short time, this news has spread, even many lower-ranked civilizations are now aware!”

“Now…”

“All civilizations, including Blaze, believe we are responsible for this…”

By the end.

The general’s tone became low.

To be honest.

When he heard about this, his first reaction was disbelief.

He had heard of the Serenity Civilization.

In the Star System server, civilizations that break into the top hundred positions are not weak.

The two hundred super large interstellar fortresses are an ultimate power that even the Celestial God Civilization wouldn’t dare underestimate!

To completely destroy it in half a month without any word getting out?

The Celestial God Civilization could do it, but it would definitely require a substantial portion of their army.

And then.

The general realized something was off.

“Wait…”

“The Celestial God Civilization did this?”

“No!”

“It wasn’t us!”

The general under the throne looked up, quickly glanced at the gloom-filled face of Han Ling, then quickly looked down, holding his tongue, not daring to speak further.

On the other hand.

On the throne, Han Ling’s thoughts were racing.

His anger and gloom were not due to the ’misunderstanding’ of other civilizations, nor the baseless accusation of ’destroying the Serenity Civilization’.

The real reason was—

The mastermind behind the destruction of the Serenity Civilization!

“Yu Jin…”

Han Ling softly whispered this name.

His tone carried a hundred percent certainty.

Apart from Yu Jin, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.

He couldn’t imagine that in the Star System Wasteland server, besides his own Celestial God Civilization, someone else could possess such an ability to annihilate a top hundred civilization in just half a month.

But…

The thought shocked Han Ling to his core, something he couldn’t control.

The pace of Yu Jin’s development seemed much faster than he had anticipated!

Swish—

With a flicker of his mind, Han Ling brought up the Star System Wasteland civilization power rankings before him.

The Celestial God Civilization was still at the top.

Below it…

A series of question marks.

The rankings didn’t reveal the specific positions or details of other civilizations.

Even someone as strong as Han Ling couldn’t force all civilizations to cooperate and disclose this information, let alone he had no time for it before.

But now?

Han Ling stared intently at the string of question marks below the rankings, his gaze growing darker and more dangerous.

“Yu Jin!”

He muttered the name once more.

Originally.

His desire to eliminate Yu Jin was solely because of Athena.

But now?

There was one more reason to find and crush this descendant of the Divine Bloodline!

“Hu Lie!”

Han Ling suddenly spoke from the throne.

The kneeling general shivered, responding hastily, “Y-Yes, my Lord!”

“Convey my orders—”

“From today, all Celestial God Civilization fortresses and warships, accelerate the search progress!”

“At the same time—”

At this point, Han Ling paused slightly.

He reached forward and lightly waved in the void.

Buzz—

A star map projection appeared.

On the star map, around the Central Star Realm, there were hundreds of galaxy clusters of varying sizes.

Swish—!

Suddenly.

A bright red ’X’ marker appeared out of thin air on the outermost galaxy cluster.

“M-My Lord?”

The general named Hu Lie was stunned and softly inquired.

On the throne.

Han Ling slowly stood up, gazed deeply at Hu Lie, and then spoke in an extremely calm tone, determining the fate of countless lives.

“From today—”

“Declare war on civilizations ranked outside the top five hundred!”

“No, not declare war…”

“Subdue them, peacefully subdue them!”

“I need their fortresses, warships, and soldiers.”

Han Ling’s words fell.
