Chapter 1240: Raiding the Home Base!

Chapter 1240: Stealing a Home!

Soon.

A fiercely arrogant voice echoed throughout the interior of the Universe Emperor.

[Who are you, lowlife? State your name—dare you invade the Kido-ku Monster God Nation?!]

[Don’t try hiding! Our Kido-ku Monster God Nation is equipped with a Supreme God-level counter-detection system. Any disguise, whether true god-tier or below, is utterly useless against it.]

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou exchanged a glance with the soldiers around him, then a subtle smile played at the corner of his lips.

"Exit spatial stealth mode."

He said.

[Yes, Your Majesty.]

Zero replied respectfully.

Then immediately exited the spatial concealment mode.

[Hmm, still a top-tier true god warship. Solid. Solid.]

[You're quite clever, come quickly to Galor City and surrender. Perhaps I can arrange a high-level monster demon transformation ritual for you.]

The monster demon continued to boast arrogantly.

"Transformation rituals are unnecessary—we can keep the surrender ceremony."

Zhou Zhou spoke calmly: "Have your godmaster hurry to Galor City and prepare for surrender. Simply tell them that the Celestial Sovereign of the People, leading the vast army of the Jiaoyang Empire, has come to conquer you."

[You're truly fearless. Well, well, I have a broad heart—go on, leave. I won't force you to surrender. If you dare stay on, just remember—when death comes, don't blame me for not warning you.]

Zhou Zhou's brow slightly lifted.

Given the monster demon race's inherent nature, why would they allow an invading force to depart unchallenged?

Something was wrong.

"Stop wasting words—have your god-king prepare surrender rites right away."

Zhou Zhou spoke without hesitation.

[Very well, quite bold indeed. Wait and see! Our great horde of monsters will descend upon you and utterly destroy you!]

With those words, the monster's voice vanished.

For some inexplicable reason, Zhou Zhou suddenly sensed a flicker of unease beneath the words.

"Immediately issue orders to all generals—prepare for battle at once!"

The deputy commander of the Pride Sun Army ordered swiftly.

"Yes!"

The generals responded in unison, then began assigning tasks through the army interface.

"Unit Zero, continue advancing toward the capital of the monster god-state."

"Additionally, dispatch divine spirits to guard around the spacecraft, ready to counterattack at any moment."

"Eliminate any enemy that dares to obstruct our path!"

Zhou Zhou spoke calmly.

[Yes, Your Majesty!]

Zero replied respectfully.

Then, immediately piloted the Cosmic Emperor Ship toward the divine capital of the Kidoke God Nation.

Along the way, they indeed encountered waves upon waves of monstrous demons—ranging from thousands to hundreds of millions—who attempted to halt the ship from a distance, using various forms of ranged attacks.

Yet the Cosmic Emperor Ship stood like an unyielding fortress, its sturdy hull effortlessly withstanding every assault. The divine spirits stationed throughout the vessel either launched their own rule-based techniques for remote counterattacks or directly employed the ship’s built-in weaponry to strike the demons from afar.

After several such encounters,

these forces attempting to obstruct them not only achieved nothing but suffered devastating losses.

Yet even so, they did not retreat—they instead saw an ever-growing tide of monstrous demons surge forward, attempting to block the advance of the Cosmic Emperor's vessel.

"They seem to be delaying time."

The deputy commander of the Jiaoyang Legion spoke.

"They are delaying time, waiting for the return of the main army of the Kidoke Divine Nation."

"The main army of the Kidoke Divine Nation isn't within the nation's borders. Within half an hour, they should be back."

After mentally calculating the situation, Zhou Zhou suddenly realized that the main army of the Kidoke Divine Nation had been taken out of the nation by its sovereign, the master of the nation itself, leaving only scattered garrisons behind. He spoke out.

That's why the other side had been urging them to leave all along—they were merely bluffing.

"Then why not seize the enemy's divine capital during this time, occupy their core region of the divine capital directly?"

The deputy commander of the Jiaoyang Legion's eyes lit up.

"Indeed, we can."

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly.

He suspected that upon their return, the other party would discover their home had been robbed—his expression would surely be priceless.

After receiving the Emperor’s approval, the deputy commander of the Jiaoyang Legion felt a surge of confidence, his demeanor filled with self-assurance.

He immediately issued orders, speeding forward toward the sacred capital of the Kitok Divine Nation.

Even the monstrous demons attempting to obstruct him along the way were ignored—he merely accelerated and vanished before them.

When they finally realized the direction of the Universe Emperor's vessel was heading straight toward their sacred capital, their faces instantly turned pale.

Once the capital fell into enemy hands, even if it were later reclaimed, they would still bear the guilt of losing their capital—no matter what.

They would surely be doomed!

"Chase them immediately!"

"Seize them at all costs!"

"Once they even dare to harm the Divine Capital by a single step, I will settle the Emperor's wrath with your lives!"

The leading Demon God screamed in fury.

At these words, the surrounding demons grew panic-stricken and rushed toward the Divine Capital of the Demon God Realm.

...

The Capital of the Demon God Realm.

A colossal Imperial Starship hung silently in the sky above the capital.

Over one hundred billion soldiers, more than a million deities, and hundreds of true gods stretched across the heavens.

Each of them radiated terrifying power, pressing down upon the demon subjects below with such overwhelming force that not a single movement dared be made.

Some demons of deity or true god rank had initially attempted rebellion, but upon seeing this vast array of forces, not a single spark of resistance remained.

When powers are roughly equal, a fight might be possible—but when the gap is this vast, to fight would be suicide.

Zhou Zhou saw this and had no desire left to even consider the idea of persuasion.

He spoke softly, his voice echoing through the ears of every monster demon below:

"Within twenty breaths, state clearly what you wish to say—your desire to join the Jiaoyang Empire and become a citizen of the Jiaoyang Empire."

"If the time expires and you have not yet submitted to our side, every monster demon leader who remains unaligned will have only one path: death."

The tone was cold, absolute, unyielding.

The demon leaders hesitated, their faces uncertain.

Could they survive simply by speaking these words?

And if they remained silent—would they die?!

The tone of his words seemed genuine, not a trick.

Now, time was pressing. The demon leaders knew they could not afford hesitation.

Very soon.

Masses of strange demonic vassals began to recite the words taught to them by Zhou Zhou, and, upon his approval, instantly became vassals of the Prae-Sol Empire.

The entire divine capital housed roughly one hundred billion strange demonic vassals.

Within twenty breaths, no less than eight thousand billion of these strange demonic vassals declared their allegiance to the Prae-Sol Empire, becoming its subjects.

The remaining two thousand billion strange demonic vassals of the Empire of the Strange Demons, however, seemed to belong to the unyielding faction—despite the passage of time, they still remained silent, refusing to speak.

Zhou Zhou observed this and scoffed.

He immediately activated the Supreme Technique of Law, then summoned the Domain of "Word-As-Command" from one of his subordinates, a True God of the Speaking-Of-Law. With that, he extended the Domain of "Word-As-Command" across the entire divine capital.

Once the Domain of "Word-As-Command" had fully enveloped the city, he issued a direct order: eliminate the lives of every strange demonic vassal who refused to surrender.

The next instant—

Those two thousand billion strange demonic vassals stared wide-eyed, then collapsed instantly, their breaths cut off, their lives extinguished entirely.

The remaining inhabitants of the monster demon realm who had chosen to surrender shivered at the sight, and even more so, felt relief in their decision.

This Celestial Emperor, after all, would not blink at the annihilation of entire clans.

How dare you refuse to surrender?

Do you truly think the other side would hesitate to slaughter you?

...

Inside the Cosmic Emperor's vessel.

"Take control of the Monster Demon Capital."

Zhou Zhou commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers promptly obeyed, and immediately set about their assignments.

And Zhou Zhou directly produced the Bodhi Sovereign, using a single ordinary inquiry to unravel the mystery and learn the location of the Kido-ko God Nation.

He instantly vanished from his spot.

Soon after.

He reappeared with a flash.

Zhou Zhou extended his right hand, and three seals materialized in his grasp.

Precisely the True God Intermediate Sovereign Seal, the True God Senior Regional Seal, and the True God Intermediate Territory Seal of the Kido-ko Monster God Nation!

Gazing at these three seals, a smile bloomed upon his face.

The speed at which he had acquired them far exceeded his expectations.

At the same time,

The Sovereign of the Nation, Kido-ko, who was speeding toward the Monster God Nation at a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers, suddenly froze—his expression stiffened.

Then His face flushed crimson, veins bulging, his expression filled with fury and resentment.

He roared to the heavens, his voice trembling with overwhelming rage and murderous intent!

"Imperial Sovereign of the People!"

"You dare destroy everything I have built!"

"I will kill you! I will kill you! I will kill you!!!"
