Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1346 - 509: Blue Planet_3

...

After reading the announcement, Sosgate Augustus and Liu Jin sat in silence for a long time.

After a while, Liu Jin said sinisterly, "A 5% increase in stealth capability! Viscount Augustus, you know what this means. Let’s see how you try to talk your way out of this. I’ve already initiated the process to awaken the Earl. Just you wait. You get betrayed from within, betting on both sides. You’ll pay the price!"

After saying this, Liu Jin hung up the communication.

Sosgate Augustus’s lips trembled, as if trying to justify himself somehow.

But ultimately, he didn’t say anything.

At this point, it was useless to say anything. Facts speak louder than words.

Nanxiang Marquis Liu An is a man who believes only in results; he wouldn’t listen to the excuses of a mere Viscount.

Liu An cares only about one thing: anyone daring to deceive him must pay the price. Otherwise, his century-old reputation in the Nanxiang Star Cluster would be ruined.

At that moment, Sosgate’s second son, Grue Augustus, and oldest son, Bocao Augustus, both appeared beside him.

Bocao Augustus was the head of the Star Annihilation Ant research project, known for his high intelligence and remarkable talents.

This eldest son cautiously asked, "Father, what’s wrong?"

He noticed Sosgate’s emaciated face was ashen and devoid of color, instinctively sensing something amiss.

Sosgate turned to look at his proud eldest son, "Bocao, although the Star Annihilation Ant is immensely powerful, it acts too slowly, and is too difficult to deploy. After all these years, you have not solved this problem, and it still hasn’t met the Royal Academy of Sciences’ strategic weapon standards. But have you ever thought the Star Annihilation Ant could have such effectiveness?"

Bocao shook his head painfully, "No. I’ve tried at least countless methods to analyze the excretions of the Star Annihilation Ant, attempting to understand its significance, to no avail. But it can’t be blamed on me, since I don’t have the Mother Empress Ship Giant Reproductive Cells handy to link them together."

On the other hand, the second son, Grue, angrily and resentfully said, "Just recently, the Red Blade Science Academy published more research details to those later descendants who returned to our family. That’s purely luck!"

Bocao and Sosgate turned to look at Grue, speaking in unison, "What do you mean?"

Grue explained calmly, "Previously, to eradicate the Star Annihilation Ants on South Nine C, Source Star planned to use nuclear fusion to simultaneously detonate, killing the Star Annihilation Ants with high temperatures. But they didn’t have enough nuclear fusion material. Back then, Father’s great effort to blockade South Nine C almost succeeded, but Source Star led the fleet to the Shattered Star Ring and first eliminated the Storm Pirate Group and the Razor Pirate Group’s dens. The Storm Pirate Group had a large reserve of hydrogen isotopes, not only fulfilling Source Star’s needs but with surplus. The Razor Pirate Group provided large amounts of metal materials."

"With these resources they stumbled upon, Source Star used nuclear fusion to kill two birds with one stone, not only eradicating the Star Annihilation Ants instantaneously but also completely altering the planet’s landscape, releasing the tidal lock status. Moreover, during the nuclear explosion, a tiny fraction of the Star Annihilation Ants ended up dead, but their genetic information chain became scrambled. Their researchers, simply trying it out, casually inserted a gene segment from the Mother Empress Ship Giant Reproductive Cells into it, actually developing this variant from our Star Annihilation Ant base. The project leader responsible at the Red Blade Science Academy used to work as a laborer in our Academy of Sciences!"

"Damn, why is he so lucky! Everything falls into his lap."

As Grue was speaking, Father Sosgate’s eyes widened further.

When Grue finished speaking, Sosgate could no longer bear it, raised his arms, and shouted, "Unfair! This universe is unfair! Could it be that Source Star is the Chosen One? Wait... this... Chosen One? Dammit! I was wrong!"

Pfft!

While muttering, Sosgate suddenly became agitated, and a thick phlegm filled his lungs, blocking his throat.

He made gasping sounds, struggling to breathe.

On the other side, seeing the situation turning grim, Bocao was about to activate the emergency medical equipment nearby, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, turned his head, and his face was shocked.

His brother Grue was holding a sharp dagger.

At this moment, the dagger pierced through the gap between his ribs from behind and directly into his heart.

"Grue, you... what are you doing?"

Grue first looked at his brother, then calmly stepped aside, casually pulling down the power supply line to Sosgate’s life support system, and shook his head, "Someone has to bear the wrath of Nanxiang Marquis and Source Star. Father, brother, wouldn’t think to shirk responsibility now, would you?"

"You... you..."

Sosgate hadn’t died yet, but now he saw his eldest son collapse.

The old man raised his hand, angrily pointing forward.

After a moment of struggle, the old man finally lay down, his finger falling, and thus breathed his last.
