Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

"There is only one way to eliminate the Parasite civilization."

"I have told you before—the Dominator System Pathway is born to be rulers."

"We spent 60 days, going through every city, visiting all the populated areas, organizing the coordinate data. I just sent it to the X Fleet."

"Everything is going according to plan."

"Tactic two, orbital bombardment!"

.........

Scenes of the past, reappearing from yesteryear.

The Ziluo people bravely resisted their slaughter and bombardment. The warriors who saved Baizhu Star now, one after another, turned into cruel butchers, eliminating one after another the Ziluo people who had warmly welcomed them, as if it were a game.

No, it's not as if it's a game.

They are indeed playing.

On the mounds of flames and corpses, trampling over the bodies of the fallen, in the name of purification and justice, they play and slaughter recklessly, without any concern.

Are we truly saviors of the planet?

Even if it's a game, why does it seem so real?

If.

If "Starry Abyss" is not a game.

Using the name of anti-Society to strike innocent civilians.

How are our actions any different from the Society?

Jiaozi Niu covered his face, his pupils gradually dilating.

—"All along, I've only lived to fulfill my personal desires."

"Are you okay?"

—"Saving Azure Star was to turn you into my followers and Believers. Azure Star's strategic importance is significant, and I want it."

"Why haven't you replied for so long, are you busy?"

—"Baizhu Star has 3 billion people, ready-made interstellar civilization facilities, the foundations couldn't be better—furthermore, guess why Baizhu Star's real industries are all under Leoz Dominet's name?"

"Actually, I'm planning to bring in two newcomers. Garidon will be busy with live streaming later, whether or not they'll explore with us is still uncertain, given that the content of streaming is quite variable. Yutianxiao also seems busy with something, and as for Night Fighting Sword, that guy is always a Dove, so don't count on him..."

—"Without killing the Society, how can I immigrate to a Narrative-Level Civilization? I need a claim to fame, defeating the warriors of the Society, which is one of the highest honors in the cosmos, who wouldn't want to add a grand note to their resume?"

"Snail?"

Cumin Powder said:

"Caramel Snail, are you listening?"

She sent a window shake, the terminal vibrated slightly, and Jiaozi Niu finally reacted from the ephemeral daze.

He bowed his head, silent for a moment.

'The new version, Leoz is still alive, which means he returned safely from the Dragon Satellite.'

He clenched his fists.

'Regardless of whether this is a game or not, seeing Li Aozi's reckless massacre of life, I cannot stand by idly. Call me foolish or engrossed in the game, but I simply can't watch idly.'

'Especially since we've received so much kindness from people along the way, people like us so much, and yet we exterminated them using the most brutal methods.'

'This is too excessive!'

Jiaozi Niu's gaze gradually became resolute:

'Regardless of the great kindness Li Aozi has shown me, the issue of genocide is absolutely unacceptable on a principled level—I must correct the mistakes Li Aozi has committed. Before Li Aozi causes more severe consequences, I must set him right!'

'For this, I need strength, I need to become stronger, to have the strength to arm-wrestle with Li Aozi.'

'Merely shouting slogans and talking won't change Li Aozi's mindset.'

Upon understanding this, Jiaozi Niu made up his mind:

"Azi, once the new version is released, we will submerge into Starry Abyss."

"Mhmm."

Cumin Powder replied:

"In that case, I'll also go prepare and gather some equipment from the market. With the new version, all our Levels have been raised to Gamma Rank, so it's a good time to bring newcomers aboard. I'll provide them with some auxiliary tools and basic equipment, so they can quickly catch up with our Proficiency."

"No need to specially purchase, we can use our own equipment for now."

"I'd like to, but one is a Doctor from the Redemption Pathway, and the other is a Spirit Medium from the Mysterious Pathway. Baizhu Star doesn't have equipment for these pathways."

"That's true." Jiaozi Niu rubbed his chin, "Speaking of which, who are the two newcomers you mentioned."

"Met them before in the Youth Training Camp, both have played at professional or semi-professional levels."

Cumin Powder said:

"I'll send you their resumes, take a look as soon as you can, since coming up, you'll be our Pioneer Group's leader."

[The other party sent you a file, please accept]

"...I never expected someone as simple-minded as me would have a day like this."

"Don't say that, you just don't like to use your mind—I can tell from your match records, you're definitely not a fool. Whether it's quick thinking or preparation before wars, you do them well. Believe in yourself, little snail."

Cumin Powder sent a pink bunny emoji with a heart:

"That's it, I'll go get busy, the introductions of these two are now in your hands. Review them well."

[The other party is now offline]

"So casual."

Jiaozi Niu shook his head and opened the two resumes:

"As for Professional Brother, they should all be roughly the same—uh, hmm?"

Jiaozi Niu skimmed through the resume contents, his gaze growing more peculiar.
