However, it was said that after Kaidron left the Youzhu battlefield, he immediately escaped into the Symbolic Realm and galloped all the way to the Diruip Star Realm at a speed of 100,000 times the speed of light.
However, due to the weird spatial curvature unique to the symbolic domain, his navigation path at the macro level has been constantly "winding forward and backward," seriously slowing down his navigation speed.
If calculated compared to the distance in the real starry sky, the speed of Kedelon is only one billion to 2.5 billion kilometers per second.
Roughly speaking, it's about an hour and a half light-years away. (For details on the abnormal curvature of space in the symbolic domain, see Chapter 173)
Fortunately, when Mu Cang assigned the mission, he had already transmitted all the specific information and exact locations of the 197 planets in the Mercury Empire to Kedelon's mind. (The original work has 173 space-time stars, see Chapter 200 for details)
So, he selected the mercury planet from these data that was closest to him, about only three light years away, and also close to the intermediate tunnel, as the beginning of this genocide operation.
Otherwise, if we just fly down like this blindly, I really don’t know how long it will take.
And this target planet is the Kalanos planet, an important military planet specially used by the Mercury Empire to dock, process and defend against various changes in the Youzhu battlefield.

In the endless void.
"The strategic configuration is quite complete. If the preparations before the war are sufficient, maybe the creatures below the overlord level will never come back."
After several hours of continuous sailing, Kedelun finally arrived at his destination. He suddenly jumped from the depths of the spiritual world into the real starry sky. He raised his scarlet single eye and looked at the star in the hazy lake from a distance of tens of billions of kilometers. He smiled suddenly:
"But to me, these fancy war "toys"...are all meaningless. "
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the space outpost more than 100,000 kilometers away in the void to the right, and galloped away like a lake.
…
Millions of kilometers away in the outer space of Karanos, Space Outpost 225.
"It's so boring."
In the hall of the [Outpost Observation Room] with a radius of several hundred meters, a tall and thin mercury soldier with a somewhat lazy expression was drinking a pure black high-temperature bottle.
Packing a mercury-based drink, he complained to the thin mercury civilian staff who had been hunched over to operate the photon network not far away:
"Chrysmon, how long do you think this [serious examination operation] will last? Inexplicably, Kalanos has not passed the [severe examination] for a hundred cold star weeks, but since the spirit linked to the Youzhu battlefield After the world information network collapsed inexplicably, my superiors got crazy. I practiced every day, every day, to the point where I didn’t dare to leave the dormitory. I was caught alive and had to practice to death. If I continued like this, it would be really hard to be in the army. I can’t mess around anymore, I might as well retire and go home.”
"Actually, I heard from the gossip that something happened at Youzhu battlefield, so the higher-ups are very nervous now, so they are pressing down one level at a time, saying that they want to maintain everyone's fighting capacity."
Civilian clerk Chris Meng sighed tiredly and stopped moving. "To be honest, you are okay. At least you are a professional military personnel. You can resist no matter how tired you are. Besides, that's what you should do. Why are you complaining?" ? If you want to complain, it’s my fault!”
Speaking of this, Khrismen knocked on the network light screen full of resentment and said: "What about the queue assessment, vehicle assessment, combat body debugging assessment, weapon operation assessment, tactical literacy assessment, and the damn physical assessment!
What can I do that my small body can do? I am a clerical worker, do you understand? I still have a lot of work to do every day. If you don't finish it, you will be charged! Did it say anything about reducing my workload? No! They're all pretending to be fucking deaf! They're all so damn stupid! "
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He turned around and glared at the mercury soldier who was slumped on the round chair and said angrily: "Calender! Are you still complaining? What the hell! Your salary is five times higher than mine!"
"Hey, you can't say that, my good brother, my salary is pure money for selling my life, and any life that can be sold is a cheap life."
Kalender, a soldier of the mercury tribe, waved his hands lazily and said, "If there is going to be a war someday, then I will die and I will sell my life.
When the time comes, the most you can do is stay in the rear and write me a report on the corpse. No laser cannon can blow up on your head. Look, how happy it is. "
"Happy! I don't know you yet?"
Khrismon sneered and said, "You are a fake person who comes here to gain qualifications. I guess you will actually go to the battlefield by then, and the supervising team will point their guns at me. You, maybe you will receive the news in advance. Retire and go back to your hometown to continue enjoying your life."
"Hehehehe." Callender touched his head and said without hesitation, "That's because I have designated not to go to the battlefield, and I'm not the only one left. We Dregail (Mercury Tribe's home planet) people work all day long. There's nothing but eating and drinking. What are you trying to do with your life? Who are you trying to fight for? You're risking your life."
Herismon was stunned when he heard the words, shook his head helplessly, continued to cheer up and get into work, and no longer paid attention to his harmful friend Callender.
But at this moment, the alarm bell suddenly rang.
[Level 3 alert! Space Outpost 3083 fell, suspected of invasion by hostile forces]
"Uh, No. 3083... seems to be the farthest outpost. It's about 10 billion kilometers away from here."
The tentacles on Callender's cheeks trembled slightly, "I remember... Karanos hasn't been invaded in the past hundred cold star weeks, right?"
"What a hundred cold star weeks!"
Khrismon raised his voice and retorted, "Karanos has never been invaded! This is the heart of the empire, and it is close to the Youzhu battlefield. Who can invade?! The Demon Brain Clan? Do they have this strength?"
Callender was stunned when he heard these words, and then said out of nowhere:
"Do you think... some super life form or... a powerful spiritual species emerged from the Youzhu battlefield?"
"whispering sound!"
Khrismon said, "What are you thinking about? There is nothing inside except a columnar nebula, and the only thing that can come out of it is the Imperial fleet."
"But all previous battles have never lasted that long." Callender lowered his head and murmured, "Something's not right. I suddenly have a strong feeling... something big might happen!"
Hearing these words, Khrismen couldn't help but look him up and down, and couldn't help but say:
"No...I said it was just a level three alarm, so your reaction was too much.
According to me, it may be that the outpost was attacked by spiritual species or hit by a meteorite. Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible. "
"No, no, no, I don't know how to explain it to you." Callender shook his head, "Anyway, forget it if you don't believe it, I have to leave first."
With that said, he got up, packed his things, and prepared to leave the [Outpost Observation Room].
But at this moment, the alarm bell rang again.
[Level 3 alert! Space Outpost 2905 fell, suspected of invasion by hostile forces]
[Level 3 alert! Space Outpost 2726 was compromised, suspected of invasion by hostile forces]
[Level 3 alert! Space Outpost 2305 fell, suspected of invasion by hostile forces]
…
[Level 2 alert! Space Outpost 1244 fell, suspected of invasion by hostile forces]
The alarm bell screamed continuously as if it had been beaten, shocking Callender and Khrismon to the point where they froze on the spot.
Especially Chrysmon.
He suddenly realized... something big might really happen.
"In just ten seconds, more than a dozen space outposts fell, and even the alarm was upgraded!" Khrismon stammered:
"Is it possible that, as you said, there is... something dangerous emerging from the Youzhu battlefield? ! "
By this time, Callender was no longer afraid.
He calmly adjusted the thin military-style space suit outside his body, turned to Khrismon, who was sitting in a round chair in a daze, and said in a deep voice:
"What I'm thinking about now is...the outpost fell so fast. If we calculate it based on the straight-line distance, the unknown entity that launched the attack...is infinitely close to the speed of light!"
"It's too late to activate the escape ship." Callender suddenly tore open the space fabric on his arm, revealing a crystal bracelet.
"Folding Space Bracelet!"
Khrismon recognized him at a glance, "You are so brave, Master Callender."
Callender ignored him and activated the retractable function of the bracelet.
Buzz——
The space fluctuated.
A crystalline spindle-shaped object that was one hundred meters long and thirty meters wide appeared in the hall.
"This is……"
Khrismon hurriedly walked over and looked around, "What is this?"
Callender sighed and said gloomily: "Do you know...Yuro?"
Upon hearing the name, Khrismon was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Callender sighed: "Aren't you always curious about which noble family my family belongs to?"
"Yes." Khrismon nodded again, "Yes, I am indeed very curious. When we came to Karanos together, your conditions were not much better than mine at the beginning, and you were very motivated and had a sense of honor. ,do not know when……"
Callender said: "I don't know when I started to become decadent, and I became wealthy when I became rich, right?"
Khrismon nodded silently.
"hehe."
Callender laughed at himself, "Actually, my family has always been a small aristocrat. Except for the fact that it has been passed down for a long time, it has not changed much from generation to generation. Not to mention wealth, I can only say that life is pretty good.
It's just that my father has some unrealistic delusions, delusions about getting ahead, delusions about having nothing but myself.
But he didn't have much ability, so he could only spend all his time exploring the Broken Path star fields around the empire, hoping that one day he would find some ruins deep in the stars... and reach the sky in one step. "
Khrismen next to him asked curiously: "Then your father...did you find anything?"
Callender raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said solemnly: "Yes, he discovered something."
"Ten cold star weeks ago, he walked a little further, walked out of the Federpaupenif civilization area, and entered a dark and lightless interstellar dust mass.
There, he discovered an abandoned ancient time and space gate imitating a wormhole.
Out of curiosity, my father activated the artificial wormhole that led to an unknown star field. "
"Wait! Ten cold star weeks ago... I understand!"
Christendom shrank and couldn't help blurting out, "The villain Yuro! The villain who destroyed three civilized planets and killed tens of billions of people... was actually brought here by your father?!"
"……Um."
Callender nodded dejectedly, "Later...Yuro came to the Mercury Empire...A lot of things happened after that. In short, the royal family and all the nobles surrendered to Yuro.
But no one knows that my father... was the first person to surrender to Yuro! Because of this, he got the greatest benefit. "
Callender smiled coldly: "I turned from a young noble to a grand duke overnight! My whole family was also specially arranged by the royal family who knew it well to become Yuro's servants! Hehe, enjoy all the glory!"
With that said, he pointed to the shuttle shuttle and said in a hoarse voice: "This is one of the things Yuro gave my father - the dark shuttle."
"Just like a dog leash, no matter where you are, as long as you lie on it and activate it, it will naturally find the shortest shortcut to return to Yuro."
"This..." Chrismon looked at his old friend blankly, "It seems that you are... disgusted with the current situation of the family."
After hearing this, Callender just raised his head and glanced at him, and then sighed deeply: "Stop talking about this, what about it, do you want to escape together..."
"Interesting."
Suddenly, a cold and playful voice appeared in the hall.
The moment Callender and Khrismon heard the sound, they felt as if they were doused with hundreds of tons of liquid nitrogen... their bodies and souls were all "frozen."
boom! Kakakaka!
In the horrified sight of the two people, the entire superalloy dome above the observation room of the space outpost was violently opened by an unknown force in an instant, and then was thrown into the boundless deep space of almost absolute darkness, and disappeared in an instant. .
What follows is strong air convection.
Boom boom boom!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
"
"Help ah ah ah!
"
The two of them only had time to let out a shrill scream before they were carried by the violent hurricane and flew out of the hole above at high speed, flying away towards the black abyss-like deep sky lightning in despair.
Flying farther and farther, flying farther and farther, until it is completely swallowed up by the universe and can no longer be seen.
"It really takes no effort at all."
Outside Space Outpost No. 225, Kedelon, who was floating quietly among the dark stars, looked at the shuttle in the outpost, chuckled and raised his hand slightly.
stop!
The shuttle suddenly flew to Kaidron's side, and was manipulated by him to fold the space and fold it in.
After that, he turned to look at the brown-black rocky planet millions of kilometers away that was surrounded by a slender mechanical orbit, and grinned: "Slaughter a planet first and then find Yuro."
After saying that, Kedelon suddenly accelerated to 99.99% of the speed of light, and crashed straight into the planet Karanos.
With confidence in his heart and no worries, he unleashed thousands of dazzling beams of light that could easily blast through the planet's crust as he galloped, hitting the huge starships parked in space with incomparable accuracy.
Shoot them down, explode and destroy them one by one.
In an instant, the entire Kalanos planet was filled with panic.
