Chapter 406 Five Counsellors and One Emperor
Fang Yun’s act of destroying a powerful Imperial fleet is still fermenting. The most intuitive point is that his reputation value has increased from 60 to 75 billion reputation points in just a few days. Only 25 billion points remain before he gets the next bloodline.
At the same time, his skill points have reached 217. This time he did not continue to accumulate skill points but directly used them to upgrade “Ultimate Gravity” twice.
He tried this skill and found that he could pull a planet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away to any location he wants, and the speed is visible to the naked eyes. He can pull planets and throw them towards other planets now, exerting terrible destructive power.
This skill has an extremely wide range of effects, and this is just after two upgrades. Its power after being maxed out would be unimaginable.
He wondered if there is an upgraded version of this skill. If so, maybe he can use it to generate gravity equal to that of a black hole. At that time, as long as an object reach his vicinity, he doesn’t need to attack, the immense gravity will immediately shred it.
In his past life, Fang Yun saw a video of a black hole swallowing an entire Star. The unimaginably huge and dangerous Star was ground by it into a mist, then swallowed entirely. Fang Yun aspires to reach such a level in the future.
In the dark space, Fang Yun and the giant turtle leisurely flew. Except for the giant turtle’s occasional excited howl, there was no other sound. They moved at an incredible speed forward, just like two huge meteorites.
Their goal is the SkyRiver Empire. Now that he feels that the weapons of the SkyRiver Empire can’t deal with him. He decided to create chaos in the territory of the SkyRiver Empire, just so that he can get the last reputation points required for the next bloodline.
The growth of his reputation value has started to slow down. Fang Yun wants to raise his reputation value to 100 billion as soon as possible, hence his decision to cause trouble in the territory of the Empire.
His image had quickly spread in the Milky Way. Now as long as he appears in some kind of place, it will likely cause an uproar, especially in the territory of the Empire.
Moreover, the population of the SkyRiver Empire is the largest in the entire milky way galaxy.
After appearing there, he will definitely fill the last remaining reputation points, maybe even directly exceed it.
While Fang Yun was heading towards the SkyRiver Empire, he didn’t know that the Empire was filled with quarrels due to him.
Most people are afraid of him and the destruction he can cause, hence many people are asking the officials of the Empire to capture or deal with the suspected fourth-class pathogen.
This is the first time a Pathogen of such level appeared inside the Galaxy.
Even the higher-ups of the Empire are arguing about Fang Yun. First of all, everyone started targeting the El family, mostly because the unrest and problems in the Empire were caused by them, hence they were treated as scapegoats for the Empire.
The El family also honestly admitted their mistakes and accepted the punishment, but they did not admit that this Pathogen appeared due to them.
They argued that it’s precisely because of them that the Empire knew that such a horrifying creature had been lurking inside the galaxy.
The SkyRiver Empire is monarchical. A cabinet is established directly under the monarch. The position of cabinet members is held by the five noble families. The El family occupies a seat. The other families are the Nan family, the Long family, the Qingshan family, and the Wilson family.
The monarch of the SkyRiver Empire, Oppen Doan IX ruled the milky way galaxy using this system for almost hundreds of years, and his family, the Doan family is the largest in the Empire.
At present, these families maintain a balance. The Doan family is larger and more powerful than the other five families, but once the other 5 families unite together, even the Doan family has to retreat.
It is a pity that the five noble families have many conflicts, and the Doan family maintains a good relationship with two of the five families, making it almost impossible for the five families to band together.
Otherwise, the Doan family wouldn’t have been able to rule the galaxy for over 10,000 years
In this case, if there is no major accident, this situation will continue for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years.
However, one thing happened that is likely to break this balance.
It’s the appearance of a suspected fourth-class pathogen.
A creature of this level can cause a galaxy to fall into chaos. Because most galaxies are ruled by several different forms of forces, each restraining and checking each other. The Pathogen only needs to destroy several of them, then the forces of the galaxy will naturally breakdown and civil war is likely to breakout.
From the looks of the current situation, this is likely what will happen in the milky way galaxy.
As one of the five members of the cabinet, the El family has now suffered severe damage. Two of the three Imperial-class planet destroyers that have been destroyed belong to their family.
Of course, just the destruction of two Imperial-class planet destroyers isn’t enough to cause huge damage to the family, but the dozens of Victory-class planet destroyers, the cargo spaceships, and the tens of thousands of space fighters are what really damaged the El family.
More importantly, their reputation has suffered from heavy damage and they were forced to become the scapegoat to bear the anger of the Empire’s citizens.
In addition, the Doan family trust in them started to falter, as they took back most of the defensive power originally stationed on their territory, and the other 4 families naturally didn’t miss this opportunity and tried to strike them while they are down.
Under such a perilous situation, the El family has already decided to converge as much as possible and to perform as few activities as possible in the near future. They need to heal from such a severe blow and try to recover as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go the way they wanted.
This time it wasn’t because of the fourth-class Pathogen. The problem occurred at the border of the Empire.
In an area called the Alstar Belt, a cruiser of the Empire found a strange fleet. Due to its distant location, the cruiser immediately left after recording its information.
According to the preliminary inspection, that fleet doesn’t belong to any civilization inside the milky way galaxy, that is to say, they belong to a force outside the galaxy.
“Counsellors, take a look at this and tell me what do you think?”
In a meeting room, Oppen Doan IX asked the five cabinet members in front of him. There was a calm and deep expression on his face. Just his presence plunged the entire room into a tense atmosphere due to his imposing aura.
After the guards distributed the files in Oppen’s hands to everyone. Oppen broke the silence and said.
“There are not many spaceships in this fleet, but we can’t take it lightly.”
“The area where this fleet was discovered is very remote, and the spaceships in the fleet are flying in different types of formations, using each type of spaceship to its maximum potential. At first glance, we can see that they are trained professionals.”
“The spaceships in this fleet don’t look like ordinary cargo ships, but more like warships.”
As Oppen continued talking, the look on his face became solemn.
From the looks of things, it’s almost certain that these are the forces of other galaxies.
