Chapter 1431 82: Dragon of Annihilation and Moon God's Bow
Rose Federation, Floral Crown Star Domain.
Deep in the underground of a fortress-like planet, within the magnificent sanctuary, the golden World Tree radiates a brilliant aura as usual, surrounded by circular tables and chairs where many federal congress members hold meetings.
Today's routine meeting ended, and many members tidied their desks and left, while a few lingered, chatting with acquaintances. In many people's eyes, this seemed to be just another ordinary day.
However, just as everyone was accustomed to chatting and preparing during the break, the giant World Tree in the center of the conference hall suddenly dimmed, causing the entire hall's brightness to drop significantly.
This anomaly sparked curiosity among many conversing individuals, and soon, the entire meeting hall's lights went out, leaving only the World Tree emitting a dim glow.
A golden flower bud blossomed from the branches, then unfolded its petals, revealing stamens dotted with sparkling glows. Within the gleaming stamens, a hazy image seemed to form—a gradually condensing golden vortex, and within it, the slowly surfacing Solar Crown.
"Is that...a new Sunshine Songstress?" Some congress members witnessed this spectacle for the first time.
"It doesn't seem so. I've seen the scene when Blanchi raised the Solar Crown, and this is entirely different." Many people discussed it, perplexed.
But before these members could figure it out, the side doors of the entire hall suddenly opened, and priests dressed in uniforms with golden flowers on a white background hurried in, looking sternly at the flowering petals on the tree branches.
"There's no mistake, that's the new Black Sun." As priests of the sanctuary who inherited the 'Golden Flame Flower' will, their mission was to guard this world, preventing it from falling back into the darkness of the Fifth Epoch.
"Since the founding of the Federation in 1262, this is the third time the traces of the Black Sun have been discovered. Notify the Third and Fourth Fleets, and have the Seventh Fleet enter a state of readiness."
"Yes!"
Like a drop of water falling into a calm sea, the world began to boil afterwards.
Countless shining beacons lit up across the Federation's star domains, with fleets stationed in each star domain entering an emergency state. Many members on leave were called back, rarely used equipment began to be inventoried and inspected, and the Federation's war machine, like a colossal beast, awakened and started operating.
The Fourth Fleet stationed at Star Harbor.
Red warning lights flashed throughout Star Harbor, accompanied by the cold mechanical synthesized voice. In the corridors, shuttlecrafts sped by, and officers and soldiers who received orders jumped out.
"Notice, all members of the Fourth Fleet, all members of the Fourth Fleet, upon receiving this notice, return to your designated positions immediately. The Fourth Fleet is currently entering a first-class state of readiness, and the Star Breaker will launch in three stellar times. All members must reach their combat positions before then."

...
"...The Star Breaker will launch in three stellar times. All members must reach their combat positions before then."
Hurried and tense footsteps echo throughout Star Harbor, as locked equipment is taken out piece by piece. All officers and soldiers of the Fourth Fleet are on high alert.
Many of them still don't know exactly what major event is happening, but according to the notification ordinance received on the first day of service, the so-called 'first-class state' is only issued at the most dangerous critical moments. This order requires not only the unanimous approval of all generals of the Fourth Fleet but also authorization from the Federal Congress, Golden Flame Grand Cathedral, and the Court of Judgment, which signifies something significant is about to happen, beyond imagination for many.
Outside Star Harbor, majestic battleships slowly sailed out, their matte dark gold hulls glistening under the starlight, each about six kilometers long, with the massive central main cannon exuding a chilling formidable aura.
In an emergency state, the battleships of the Fourth Fleet charged out of the base one by one, heading into the cold vastness of space. At the horizon, three deep red tetrahedrons rotate slowly, made entirely of a dark red special alloy, with tightly fitted surfaces and only a few black circuit patterns.
Three stellar times soon approached, and the three massive deep red tetrahedrons also released a profound glow, advancing in space as if three awls pressing down upon an open thick fabric, piecemeal compressing space, making it ripple like layers of gathered cloth.
Finally, the three awls pierced through the thick 'fabric', seemingly tearing a rift in the world's curtain leading to another dimension. This initially small opening, continuously expanded by the three awls, grew ever larger until it formed a triangular black curtain spanning ten thousand miles, devoid of any light, mysterious and terrifying.
"The Star Breaker has opened the Wormhole Gate, all warships, advance at full speed!"
The orderly fleet filled the void of space, densely packed. By now, their thrusters had long been fired up, emitting fierce blue trails that, when gazed upon from the Star Harbor, resembled flickering blue stars.
