Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"Damn, why does my head hurt so much? Did I drink too much yesterday?"

Just as Zhang Xun was trying to get up but couldn't, a lazy female voice slowly spoke.

"A concussion combined with Alzheimer's disease is incurable. If you ask me, we should just remove the lesion directly! That would be a permanent solution."

"You're such a chatterbox, even in the hospital you still won't shut up."

Once Zhang Xun's consciousness fully returned, he realized that he only had one head. After a brief moment of panic, he began to recall everything.

The sixth one, the Cosmic Emperor, directly brought in a cannon, its muzzle pointed directly at the core chamber, practically firing right under their noses. Just then, Natal and the others' rescue attack arrived.

Caught in a pincer movement, Zhang Xun had nowhere to retreat. He could only use the core of the Cosmic Emperor to block the attack and use Unit 2 to withstand the blows. He should have had some divine power left, since Asuka saved him a blow. However, it seems that he used the last bit of divine power to protect Asuka. He couldn't remember why.

Zhang Xun tried turning his head and asked Asuka in the medical pod next to him, "Hey, I remember using my last bit of divine power to protect you, but I can't remember why. Do you remember? I think it was a reduplicated word, but it's strange why I can't remember?"

Asuka, who was about to take a bite of her apple, almost threw it at Zhang Xun when she heard his question. However, after seeing Zhang Xun's serious expression, she asked with a puzzled look, "Are you sure you're not kidding? You don't remember?"

"Who's kidding you? The feeling of amnesia is really unpleasant! Just tell me!"

"I'm not telling you, you rude guy! You can figure it out yourself!"

After saying that, Asuka pulled the curtain separating the hospital beds and ignored Zhang Xun, which made Misato Katsuragi, who was helping to peel an apple, feel very awkward.

Misato Katsuragi held a slice of apple to Zhang Xun's lips and said, "Captain, don't worry too much. Asuka is just a little too excited. After all, when she rescued you, she hugged you tightly..."

"Ah~~, shut up~, don't say it!"

Asuka's scream immediately came from the curtain next to her.

Misato Katsuragi shrugged helplessly and awkwardly took the apple back. After all, even if Zhang Xun had a mouth to chew, he had nowhere to digest it. The carefree Misato Katsuragi overlooked this aspect and could only awkwardly take the apple back from Zhang Xun's mouth.

Zhang Xun gained a new understanding of this woman who ate beer as a late-night snack. Perhaps Misato Katsuragi was at her most perfect when she was wearing her military uniform on the bridge.

Just as Zhang Xun was lost in thought, Zhao Wanyang hurriedly entered the medical room.

"How is our captain doing? Is your head feeling alright?"

Zhang Xun looked at Dr. Zhao speechlessly, feeling even more confused by the fact that everyone seemed a bit off today.

"Great! Apart from the headache, I don't feel any pain anywhere else. You are truly a miracle doctor! May I trouble you, miracle doctor, if you have the time, could you clone a body for me?"

'Pfft' x2

Two barely suppressed laughs came from beside Zhang Xun. They hadn't expected their boss to be so mischievous.

Zhao Wanyang quickly checked Zhang Xun's data and casually said, "There are no fresh clones, but there are quite a few half-dead human bodies. Why don't you make do with these?"

Zhang Xun understood the unspoken meaning perfectly: his fleet didn't have many genuine humans. The clone soldiers in the Marine Corps were basically thrown into the protein recycling furnace when they were half-dead, so there was no way they would have this type of body.

Since the enemy this time doesn't have any carbon-based life forms, the only possibility is the aging sin of Earth.

"How's it going?"

Seeing that Zhang Xun had finally remembered the battle, Zhao Wanyang gave a brief account of what had happened.

Besides the unexpected awakening of the Cosmic Emperor, who was forcibly pulled from his core by Sun Hui and had his body dismantled and rebuilt first, the Walker fleet, the Primordial Celestial, and the Cybertronians were all captured.

Of course, there were also those who stubbornly tried to ambush the Death Star, but they were turned into metal art pieces by Sun Hui, and unfortunately, some of the members of Optimus Prime were among them.

On the cosmic battlefield, Zhang Xun lost more than forty warships. In addition to the Death Star being half-crippled, he also lost a space station-type star shield generator and more than seventy small self-suspended orbital defense fortresses.

Basically, on Mars, apart from the factories which remained intact, the rest of the organization was decimated. On Earth, a portable planetary shield generator (800 meters in size) was lost. After being destroyed by the Nano Legion, Europe was once again destroyed by Unicron, with more than 40% of the population dead, more than 30% missing, and less than 10% surviving. As for the remaining 10% or so, they changed their nationality.

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment before asking, "How is Zemo?"

"His brain is overloaded. Although the protective mechanism has been successfully activated, it will still take him a long time to recover."

As one of Zhang Xun's team members who voluntarily stayed on Blue Star, Zemo was responsible not only for quelling the rebellion but also for protecting Blue Star's safety. Otherwise, Zhang Xun wouldn't have transferred a portable planetary shield over there. However, he didn't expect the Cosmic Emperor's attack to be so powerful.

"How much did China suffer here?"

Zhang Xun's question was somewhat redundant. Planets may seem very solid, but for the life on them, even a change of just a few degrees in average temperature would cause large-scale ecological problems.

"They are barely surviving on our support right now. The Cosmic Emperor's cannon shot caused the death of a large area of ​​vegetation. The damage from these attacks is not too serious. As long as the supplies arrive, they can handle it themselves. The biggest problem is actually the change in the orbit of Earth."

"A change in orbit? Don't be ridiculous, that thing is a planet!"

Seeing that Zhao Wanyang was not joking, Zhang Xun felt his body disappear and began to experience phantom pain.

"Is there any way to salvage the situation? Where is the blue planet headed? How much time do we have left?"

"It's veering towards the star's direction. Natal and the others are trying to figure out a solution. We only have less than a month left."

"Didn't Natal and the others use the moon to make amends?"

"It exploded. Zemo destroyed gravity and deflected Blue Star in order to escape the attack on Earth."

Alright, they've started learning the "wandering mode" right here, but they've gone a bit astray and are doing the cremation version instead.

Zhang Xun tried to activate the newly installed hover disk and said, "Take me to Natal."

"Hey, your injury hasn't healed yet. She has plenty of people over there. Do you think the planet will stop spinning without you?"

Zhang Xun put on a goggles with his small auxiliary arm and said, "Asuka, you're right. Earth will rotate normally even without anyone. But this is my team. If the team needs to destroy a planet or a star system, I hope it's my order. That way, my team members won't be involved when we go to the underworld."

Zhang Xun turned and walked towards the quantum teleporter with Zhao Wanyang. At this moment, Asuka looked at Zhang Xun's bald head and was momentarily infatuated.

At that moment, Misato Katsuragi, who was standing next to her, was crunching on an apple and offering a piece of apple stuck in her fork to Asuka.

"Eat up, stop being so infatuated. He's already married, and given their relationship, you couldn't steal him away even if you swung your hoe until it was smoking."

Asuka rolled her eyes at Misato Katsuragi, then angrily ate the apple in one bite and said, "Who's going to swing a hoe?"

After finishing her sentence, she straightened her hair and muttered to herself, "Do you think if I dyed my hair black, I'd look more like his daughter?"

Misato Katsuragi dropped the half-eaten apple in her hand to the ground with a thud, and even the apple she hadn't swallowed was choked and she spat it out.

"Cough cough cough, what did you say? Father and daughter? Did I hear you wrong, or did you say something wrong? You want to acknowledge someone as your father?"

Asuka tossed her hair and said, "Tch, don't be so naive. I call this a roundabout tactic, okay!"

Misato Katsuragi rubbed her forehead and said, "I really hope you're just being roundabout. Given your actual age, to be the other party's M..."

Before Misato Katsuragi could finish speaking, Asuka covered her mouth, afraid that this person who knew her inside and out would reveal her secrets.

Just then, Zhang Xun, who had just arrived at the Death Star command center via quantum teleportation, suddenly sneezed several times.

"Your phenomenon is really peculiar. How can you sneeze without lungs? Why don't you let me dissect it and study it now?"

Zhang Xun used a small robotic arm to push Zhao Wanyang's hand away and said, "Get away from me. I don't believe there's no scanning device on this plate. If you want to know, check it yourself. I don't have time to mess around with you."

As he spoke, Zhang Xun came to Natal's side.

The woman, who was originally so dashing, now had disheveled hair and dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

"What, you're finally willing to leave your new love?"

"A new love interest? How come I didn't know that? Someone would actually be interested in someone like me who only has one head?"

"Ok?"

Natal's death stare caused Zhang Xun to float a little lower.

"Uh, how's Blue Star? Is there any plan to bring it back?"

Natal didn't want to waste any time. She gathered her loose hair and said, "If the Death Star were intact, we could try using its gravitational pull, but that's unlikely now. The time it would take to repair it would be enough for all the water on Earth to evaporate."

Zhang Xun looked at the blue star whose color was changing and began to think about the items in his hand. As he glanced around, he saw the broken Primordial Celestial and the dejected Cybertronians.

"I have a plan, but I don't know if you dare to try it."
