Chapter 30 Absorb all despair!
"Caull..." King Arus's gaze finally fell on his youngest son, "You are my pride, Caul, you are the miracle of L77, a Reonic, a pioneer who opened a completely new path, but..."
King Arus suddenly gripped Kaur's hand tightly.
"However, you must promise me that you will not be consumed by Reiblood. I have carefully investigated and found that although that power is suppressed by your light power, it is always waiting for the right moment, waiting for the moment when your will is weakest. You have a talent that is unique in the entire universe, but this also means that you are walking a path that no one has ever walked before."
"If one day you find that power is starting to get out of control..." King Arus's gaze turned serious, "then destroy it, destroy the Battle Device, destroy everything, even if it means losing all your power, you must never become Reiblood's puppet, otherwise the entire universe will suffer."
"I understand, Father, but please stop saying such things. The way you're talking makes it sound like we're doomed to defeat, and that I will save L77, no matter the cost." Caul stopped King Arus from continuing. The more he said such things, the faster he would die. He knew that all too well.
At this point, Caul had already made up his mind.
Seeing what Kaul said, King Arus said nothing more and began to rest, falling into a coma. He was too tired, and even the tenacious life force of the light life form could only barely keep him alive.
Leo, Astra, and Kaul remained motionless by the hospital bedside for a long time.
"Father..." Astra's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists.
Leo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the grief in his eyes. As the eldest brother and the future king of L77, he knew that now was not the time to cry. He straightened up, turned his head, and his once gentle eyes had hardened.
"Astra, wipe away your tears. Your father hasn't fallen yet, and neither has L77!" Leo's voice was very powerful. "Regulus, I'll trouble you and Astra to assist the Royal Guard in conducting a final inspection of the atmospheric defense line on the surface. Three days will pass quickly. The Magma army could arrive at any time. We must clear all obstacles for the Ark's launch."
"Understood!" Astra wiped her face and nodded.
Regulus, who had been waiting outside, entered as well. He was equally earnest: "Don't worry, Leo. As long as I, Regulus, have a breath left, I will never let a stranger approach the Ark! My Cosmic Beast Fist is precisely for moments like this!"
The two exchanged a glance, said no more unnecessary words, and turned to leave the medical room.
In the ward, only Kaul and King Arus, who had fallen into a coma, remained.
Kaul stared silently at his father lying there, the final warning from King Arus replaying in his mind: "If one day you find that power is starting to get out of control... then destroy it, destroy the Battle Device."
Kaul looked down at the Reonics Battle Device in his hand.
The blue and silver metallic surface of the instrument surprised him somewhat. He wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but it seemed to have changed. Perhaps it was due to the restlessness caused by the Reiblood gene within him being stimulated by external factors.
"Destroy it? No... Father, you're wrong," Kaul muttered to himself. "If I can't even control my own power, if I don't even have the awareness to bear this power, then what have all my years of forbearance and scheming amounted to?"
"I will not be consumed by Reiblood's will. I am Kaul, I am your son, I am the prince of L77."
Kaul gently tucked his father's hand, which was sticking out of the blanket, back under it, then turned around and walked out of the medical room without hesitation.
On the terrace of the Royal Tower in the L77 Nebula.
Only three hours remain until the three-day truce set by Emperor Magma.
Kaul stood alone on the edge of the tower, letting the wind whip against his lightweight royal armor.
If someone were standing here right now and looking into outer space, they would be so frightened that their heart would stop on the spot.
The once vibrant blue sky of L77, brimming with the vitality of nature, has now been replaced by a suffocating darkness, as the Magma Empire's fleet of warships envelops this beautiful planet.
Even through the atmosphere, Kaul could clearly feel the impending destruction.
They did not attack, but simply remained quietly in near-Earth orbit, as if watching their prey struggle before its death.
This is true psychological warfare!
Faced with overwhelming military force, the uncertainty of waiting and the countdown are more likely to destroy a civilization's psychological defenses than direct artillery bombardment.
Kaur lowered his head, looking down at the royal city below.
The once bustling streets, filled with laughter and joy, are now eerily quiet. The thousand-year history of L77 has vanished like smoke in the wind.
The emotions of everyone inside the ark had reached his ears.
The cries, the prayers, the engine sounds of the ark about to take off—all reached his superhuman ears.
Fear, sadness, despair, resentment... these negative emotions permeated every corner of Planet L77. Just then, the combat device in Kaul's hand started moving, and the first bar of light flashed wildly.
"Can you feel it, Little White?" Kaul didn't panic, but looked at the combat device.
"Cheddar!"
Xiaobai jumped out on his own. As the most advanced biological weapon in the universe, the birth and evolution of the cosmic dinosaur Zetton violated the natural laws of the universe. They were not products of natural evolution, but were created for killing, as the ultimate weapon to fight against the Giant of Light or all enemies.
If light-based life forms rely on hope, courage, and light to gain power, then Zetton evolves through negative forces such as fear, despair, and killing!
At this moment, the despair emanating from the billions of beings on planet L77 was an unprecedented feast for Xiaobai. The primal instinct to eat that had seeped into its very bones almost drove Xiaobai into a berserk state.
He was greedily absorbing all the negative emotions.
The yellow cross-shaped light on Xiaobai's face burst forth with light, and its short arms stretched out to the sky, as if embracing this world filled with despair.
"Absorb it! Swallow all the fear, sorrow, and despair on this planet into your belly! Leave no trace of cowardice!" Kaul, holding the combat device, gave the most insane command to Little White.
An immense suction force, invisible to the naked eye but terrifying on a spiritual level, swept outwards from Xiaobai in all directions!
