Chapter 1385 - 64: The Descending Judgment of Destruction
The size of the Milky Way is something that many people cannot truly grasp.
Just one Solar System has given birth to Earth and several planets, and within the Milky Way, there are approximately 200 billion to 400 billion similar Stellar Systems. This is an absolutely terrifying number. Even if one Stellar System in a hundred million is chosen to have a planet suitable for living, there would still be over 2,000 habitable planets.
Currently, all the habitable planets in the Rose Federation combined do not even reach 2,000. The vast majority of Stellar Systems are uninhabited zones where high-energy pulses and harsh temperatures deny the birth and growth of life.
A large number of these Stellar Systems only have a few uncrewed observation stations monitoring the local conditions, while the Patrol Fleets maintain the security of the main routes and the star domains with inhabitants.
On the surface, the territory of the Rose Federation covers more than half of the galaxy, but upon closer inspection, much of this territory is blank space. If a few Starships were to hide in hard-to-monitor ’Black Domains,’ it would be like a needle falling into the ocean, making it very difficult to trace.
Such ’Black Domains’ have become bases for many underground forces and concealed organizations. However, even they do not stray too far from the main routes, otherwise just a round trip could take several years or even decades.
The star domains far from the routes and inhabited areas are like the deep waters at the bottom of a massive lake, isolated from the world.

While Tilan manages and gradually expands the various bases of the Chasing Star Covenant on land, Sariti passes yet another calm and repetitive day in the court in the sky.
Although her range of movement was restricted, as a new generation genius within the Silver Wings, this punishment was merely meant for her to reflect; it did not affect her standing within the clan. After all, reaching Sequence 7 at her age qualifies Sariti as a strong contender for the next City Lord.
In the quiet Great Library, Sariti sat on her cradle swing, flipping through the book before her, though her eyes seemed a bit distracted, not truly taking in the words.
At this moment, a massive shadow moved slowly across the windowpane outside, covering the entire arc-shaped glass window. The sudden change caught Sariti’s attention, prompting her to extend her wings and fly to the round window several meters high, gazing through the glass at the levitating ’giant whales’ traversing the night sky.
The propellers in their side intakes spun silently, moving forward like ghosts in the sky, with their tails gradually spewing blue airflow that continuously accelerated these levitating ’giant whales.’
Subsequently, a floating ’giant whale’ swept past the outskirts of the library with a roar, its air currents shaking the glass and causing the items and books inside the library to sway slightly. The power contained in that majestic body transmitted through the glass and atmosphere.
"What is this..." Sariti’s pupils dilated slightly.
She was well aware of what these levitating ’giant whales’ were—these were the decisive weapons with which the Silver Wings ruled the sky and earth. Normally, they hovered in outer space where they could gradually replenish energy from the Sun, and the vacuum environment prevented these weapons from corrosion and detection by the mechanical clans moving on the ground.
Why today, have these massive decisive weapons been summoned from space to descend? Who are they going to confront? Have all the Sky Court Masters agreed on unified opinions to launch a counterattack on the earth and completely eliminate the mechanical clusters?
Sariti desperately wanted to know the reason. Feeling somewhat anxious, she flew to the center of the library, spreading her wings. As she closed her eyes and sang, her originally snow-white feathers began to shine with golden light, and layers of golden ripples coated the feathers.
Her silver hair fluttered as a faint golden halo gradually surfaced on her forehead. Then, her perception and consciousness concentrated, and a golden Circle appeared above her head, swiftly expanding and spreading out like an invisible impact ripple across the entire Silver Bird Court.
At the highest golden flower platform in the Sky Court, the golden-haired City Lord felt the resonating ripple and shook his head slightly, then smiled as he spoke to his companion beside him, "Our little bird is getting impatient, eager to break free from the cage to have a look."
"You all lift the seal of the library and bring her here. I know she must have many questions at this moment."
"Yes, my lord." Two women of the Silver Wings clad in pristine white armor nodded, then spread their wings, taking off from the flower platform and diving into the atmosphere below, weaving through the levitating structures of the Silver Bird Court like two small white dots.
More than half an hour later, Sariti, carrying wings suffused with a golden halo, landed on the highest garden and Star Observatory in the Silver Bird Court.
She first quickened her steps slightly towards the golden-haired woman facing away from her, overlooking the scenery, then slowed her pace, walking calmly to the woman’s side.
"Very good, Sariti, much more composed than before." The golden-haired City Lord turned to face her.
"It seems during this period of confinement, you have done quite a bit of reflection."
"I have thought about many things, but there are still many things I can’t figure out." Sariti shook her head.
"That’s only natural. If you said you could understand everything while stuck in a room, that would be a problem." The two stood at the edge of the railing, the high-altitude sweeping night wind blowing against their clothes, but as Transcendents, they did not feel cold at all.
"So many ’Arbitrators’ mobilized this time, could it be to target the Mechanical Clan?" In Sariti’s perspective, currently on this planet, only this adversary was worth the full effort of the Silver Wings.
