Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

As Xing traveled to the World Administration Center, the Imperial Fleet located at the world's border began its operations.

"All fleets, except those required to resist the Abyss, shall retreat back to the base universe. Once the operation is complete, all ships shall delete their warp coordinates from the base universe and go all out!" Kirk issued the order to all officers.

"Yes, sir."

“Kirk.” Okita Juzo walked over.

"What's wrong, old man?" Kirk looked over.

“We have to give up on this already broken world,” said Juzo Okita.

“Give up? Aren’t you afraid Her Majesty the Queen will beat you up when she comes back… Old man, what was that feeling just now?” Kirk said, suddenly realizing something.

“I felt it too. Her Majesty the Empress’s soul link suddenly broke for a second.” Okita Juzo frowned.

“You’re right. A portion of the fleet will remain in this world to continue resisting the impending abyss, while we, or rather all special units, will return to the base universe and completely hide it,” Kirk said solemnly.

“Let’s get started. I’ve already contacted Maru and Schneizel,” Okita Juzo said.

"Those military factories and Grammer Ironclad factories?" Kirk looked at the tablet in his hand.

“The main factory was transported back to the base space a long time ago. This is just a branch factory. It’s gone, so be it. Anyway, this factory doesn’t produce many people a year,” said Okita Juzo.

“Alright then… you there!” Kirk looked at a senior colonel.

"Admiral!" The officer jogged over.

"For Her Majesty the Empress, from this day forward, you are the Commander-in-Chief of this world. All fleets will be under your command until the Abyss is destroyed," Kirk said expressionlessly to the young android officer before him.

"Yes, sir! For Her Majesty the Empress!" The android officer realized something, but his loyalty to the star made him ignore it. He directly verified his rank promotion online and left.

“They are all good lads,” Okita Juzo said.

“But we need a place to settle down,” Kirk said.

"I just received an urgent report from Carmen, Yang, and Demel: Abyss Gates have appeared in all Imperial territories. The Imperial fleets stationed there are fighting a fierce battle, and the base universe is constantly sending fleets to at least ten worlds." Kirk showed Okita the tablet that had been buzzing in his hand.

"The Base Universe has developed rapidly in recent years, but all of its time combined is less than five years. If we hadn't reverse-engineered Her Majesty's time power and obtained a planet-level time rift, we would have had no troops to fight back when all ten abysses in the worlds erupted," Kirk said.

"Contact the others. All special units are to abandon all imperial territories outside the base universe and completely retreat back to the base universe until Her Majesty the Empress returns." After saying this, Okita Juzo issued the retreat order directly through the special units' own consciousness network.

"Wait? The fleet continues to resist the Abyss? If we don't take the fleet with us, how will the base space defend itself?" Kirk asked.

“The minimum number of fleets in the base universe, with sufficient factory support, is enough to defend the base universe,” Okita Juzo said, opening a portal and looking at Kirk.

"Alright, that's the only way." Kirk pulled out a single-soldier dimensional invader bomb.

“This thing…” Okita Juzo raised an eyebrow.

"It's not very powerful, but it should be enough to collapse the spatial passage and disrupt system-level reconnaissance capabilities," Kirk said.

"Let's go." Okita Juzo stepped into the spatial passage.

…………

This world was abandoned by Okita Juzo, even though it was the world where Her Majesty the Empress first descended.

After Okita Juzo notified all special units through the consciousness network, the base universe stopped sending new fleets to all Imperial territories. The special units also left their respective worlds through portals and destroyed the space channels with dimensional eroder bombs.

A day later, everyone in the base universe was relieved that Okita Juzo's decision was correct. Because the Abyss Gates that had erupted in the ten Imperial territories were not ordinary gates, but a colossal abyssal aggregate artificially linked to several universes.

With this level of abyssal eruption, in less than a day, the abyssal aggregate completely destroyed the stability of all abandoned imperial universes and descended universes, and the abyss began to ravage these worlds.

As for the Imperial fleet? Without any effective defense against the Abyss's contamination, the Abyss Aggregate destroyed a portion of the warships and then contaminated most of the resistance fleet. The Imperial fleet, with no escape route, was completely annihilated in less than an hour.

Finally, in the original Starry Sky Railway universe where the star finally descended, the last images transmitted by the remaining, uncontaminated dimensional reconnaissance drones before their destruction revealed, in addition to the raging abyss, multiple system-level energy fluctuations.

…………

"The energy fluctuations are at the level of a mentor, and some of them are even higher than those of a mentor." After the reconnaissance robot was completely destroyed, the special units that discovered the existence of the multiple systems began to divide up the work.

Some rushed to the World Management Center to correct the coordinates of the base's universe to the inland areas of the System Council, while others were in a meeting room to analyze and review the various aspects of this sudden event.

“Based on information obtained from within the parliament, it appears to be one of the systems of the ‘World Tree’,” Schneizel said.

“I feel that not only the people of the World Tree, but also two systems whose fluctuations are not from the World Tree, have similar fluctuations to two of the ‘Children of the Abyss’,” said Juzo Okita.

“I know the fiftieth generation of systems hates the Council because of problems from tens of thousands of years ago, but that was also their own fault for messing things up and courting disaster. But what I didn’t expect was that they would make contact with the forces on the other side of the Abyss,” Maru said, pinching her brow.

“It’s a pity our mentor isn’t here, otherwise we could have reported this to the council,” Yang Weili said.

"Let's deal with this intelligence after the council finds it. The main problem now is how to correct the coordinates of the base universe within the detection range of multiple systems."

“It’s not a big problem. According to the control map of the council given by our mentor, the base universe is already under the control of the council. There are also several base universes around it that have existed for tens of thousands of years and have three council hosts at the level of gods.” Kirk said after showing a virtual map.

“Even so, let’s still have the Dimensional Reconnaissance Unit increase its patrols,” Okita Juzo said.

Deep within the Sea of ​​Nothingness - an unknown man-made space

"Buzz~ Buzz~" Inside the space, a light was slowly flickering.

"This is really something~ I didn't expect to run into this little guy again." A mature woman looked at the firefly-like energy entity in front of her and revealed a strange smile.

"I didn't expect the little one to be doing so well~ She actually became a host of the System Council. It's a pity~ We can't make any major changes to her at will, let's just leave her as she is." The mature woman sighed and said.

"I don't want to be hunted down by the council's newly formed combat force for centuries." Energy began to emanate from the older woman's hand, repairing the little guy's soul before her...
