Chapter 958: Chapter 946: The Pioneer Officer Who Can Withstand Hundreds of Nuclear Bombs Chapter 958: Chapter 946: The Pioneer Officer Who Can Withstand Hundreds of Nuclear Bombs “Bang!”

A crisp gunshot echoed through the closed conference room, and Councilman Goethe, who had just stood up in anger, about to accuse these people of blatantly lying, now had a shocking hole through his projected head.

His face still bore a trace of disbelief as his projection slowly toppled, but before it hit the ground, the projection dissipated in the enclosed conference room.

“Ahem, I think this meeting can be paused for the moment. It seems Councilman Goethe has encountered some minor trouble, and we need to step in and resolve it for him!”

Hearing the council member making this sarcastic remark, several others couldn’t help but roll their eyes. It was more than “minor trouble” for Councilman Goethe; a clear hole had just appeared through his head, unmistakably the work of an assassin, and by now, his body was probably ice-cold.

“Councilman Goethe has been assassinated!” As the assembly watched his projection fade away in the room, the chairman’s face showed an undisguised fury as he glanced at Councilor Heya and the others around her.

“This is outrageous. Earth Star hasn’t seen such a vile incident in hundreds of years. I will investigate this thoroughly. Whoever is caught will prepare to join Goethe in death!”

After speaking, the chairman’s image, too, vanished from the conference room. He was truly enraged, angry at the boldness of those around him who had betrayed the interests of their civilization for personal longevity, daring to assassinate a participant right in the middle of a meeting, showing him no respect whatsoever.

“The chairman is furious, it seems he’s quite upset this time!”

“It can’t be helped, he died right in front of him! You could have sent a slower assassin, right? Killing him after the meeting would have been just as effective.”

“That guy’s been hopping around, annoying me for a long time. Better to kill him sooner and have some peace, instead of him always jumping in front of me.”

“But now you’ve also angered the chairman. If he really finds evidence against you, it’ll be about time for you to say goodbye!”

“So what? Does he not long for immortality himself? Having reached such a position, I don’t believe he is content to die like an ordinary person, sick and suffering!”

“I’ve hinted at it several times, but he hasn’t clearly expressed his stance. Our Mr. Chairman is quite reserved.”

“Since he’s unwilling to join us, we’ll just have to replace him. It’s time for someone from our circle to take a seat!”

“His term hasn’t even ended, and he hasn’t left us any negative news to use for impeachment.”

“No news? That can be fabricated. But that stuff won’t even scratch him, so we need to get rid of him from the roots!”

“What, are you planning to use your methods on the chairman? Don’t mess around. Your people won’t break through his protection.”

“I can’t, but there’s someone who can bring down Glory Battleships with bare hands, right?”

“What are you planning?”

“Is there a way to trick our chairman into the Pandora World, and then have that deity take him down?”

“What nonsense are you talking? None of us wants to set foot in that world. Do you think the chairman, with his status, will go into such a dangerous world?”

“Well, that’s true!”

“I remember, that deity’s attack range includes space, right? If we can get the chairman to go up into space…”

…

“His Majesty King Ule, an Earth Star council member wishes to communicate with you!”

Prince Mureya, who was meditating under the Divine Tree, opened his eyes and looked at the Phantom Knight reporting to him.

“Which council member is it?”

“Jorge Viotti!”

“Hmm.” Hearing the name, Prince Mureya’s mind immediately conjured the image of a burly, bear-like, and ambitiously towering man, “I see.”

Two hours later, Prince Mureya entered the metallic, high-tech communication room with light steps and looked at the holographic projection in the center of the room.

“Majestic King Ule, have you finished your meditation? You seem even stronger, and despite the vast distance, I can feel the pressure emanating from you!”

“Enough, just get to the point. I have no interest in small talk with you!” Seeing the ambitious man flatter him excessively, Prince Mureya was impatient.

“That’s right, Your Majesty King Uhl, I wish to ask you to make a move in Space three months from now!”

“Hmm! What do you want to do?”

“In three months, the supreme leader of our Earth Star Civilization will hold a grand military parade in Space! I would like you to use your strongest attack and kill our leader at that time!”

“Do you realize what you’re saying, Jorge?” Hearing what the councilor said, even with Muria’s disposition, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. This act was beyond audacious.

“Of course, I know! You are aware of the chairman’s attitude. At present, he has no intention to wage war on Pandora World, but that’s merely due to a lack of intelligence. If, at some future time, the military thoroughly scouts the situation in Pandora World, he will certainly order an attack on Your World, King Uhl!”

“So you want me to kill him?”

“Exactly. In three months, he will hold an unprecedented military parade, where over sixty percent of the Earth Star Civilization’s fleets will gather. Such an attitude suggests he definitely harbors war ambitions against Pandora World!

To maintain peace between our two worlds, during the parade, I will provide you with the precise coordinates of our chairman. When the time comes, launch an attack based on these coordinates and execute him.

Once he accidentally dies from your attack, we will recommend someone from among us to take up the chairman position. Before our deaths, there will be no wars between the Earth Star Civilization and Pandora World!”

“Hmm, I understand you. I’ll verify the information you’ve given me, and if it all checks out, then, in three months, I will make a move.”

“Great King Uhl, I am sincerely grateful for your contribution to the peace of our two worlds!”

Muria watched the portly man with a feigned smile in front of him, then closed the communication and his eyes revealed contemplation,
“In three months, sixty percent of Earth Star Civilization’s fleets will gather to be reviewed. If I could destroy all these fleets in one fell swoop, then there would be no threat from Earth Star Civilization to Pandora World any longer.”

“Considering the vastness of Space, just by myself, I am not enough for a campaign of annihilation!”

The just-communicated Muria fell into deep thought about how to deal with Earth Star Civilization.

Because no matter what he did to Earth Star Civilization, in his heart, they were already categorized as enemies. And for enemies, naturally, you hit them as hard as you can whenever you get the chance!

An enemy who’s been beaten to death or crippled has no strength left to fight back—such an enemy is the best kind of enemy.

“Of course, I must also beware these people might be setting a trap for me!”

Regarding the ambitious words just spoken to him, he naturally wouldn’t fully trust them, but denying them entirely wasn’t an option either. This wasn’t a problem; he had ample trump cards to suppress any surprises.

“In Space, the Earth Star Civilization will have far fewer concerns. Many weapons with severe side-effects can be used indiscriminately!”

“Hmm, I need a meat shield.” Thinking this, Muria stepped out of the communication room and then went outside, naturally looking towards the gate of his Royal Palace.

At the gate of his palace, stood an existence with a human torso and snake tail, horns on the forehead, wings on the back, proudly standing tall like a majestic and immovable mountain!

“Just looking at it, you know it’s a prime candidate for a tanky meat shield!” Muria watched Shifanlin, the Slaughter Shadow, and nodded satisfactorily. “With that build, standing in front of me, it should have no issues taking a few hundred nuclear strikes!”

“Shifanlin, I hereby appoint you as my vanguard officer!” Having picked his first meat shield, Muria approached Shifanlin and patted his tail.

Hmm, Muria’s current height, being only ten meters, was dwarfed by Shifanlin, whom he had released from midair. Even coiled up, disregarding his long thick snake tail, Shifanlin’s standing height was close to forty meters.

“Thank you for your recognition, Prince Muria!” Hearing Muria’s appointment, Shifanlin immediately bowed excitedly. He couldn’t recall the last time he had such close contact with such a distinguished figure.

In the Elasia World, his power had plateaued for centuries, so he had always been on the fringe of Muria’s forces, not holding a position of importance.

This left Shifanlin feeling quite helpless. His body was patched together, and his soul had undergone mutation, making further progress extremely difficult. He had to look for alternative methods.

“In three months, there will be a battle. You’ll charge in front of me and carve a path!”

“It is my honor!”

“Everything you do will be seen by me. Once I leave this world, I will find a way to solve the issue of your inability to continue practicing and getting stronger.”

“Thank you, master!” Overwhelmed with joy, Shifanlin prostrated on the ground, his humble posture perfectly embodying the sycophantic behavior.
