Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"No." Bronya shook her head slightly. "I sent him a message, but he hasn't replied yet. Maybe he's busy."

"That's troublesome." Cocolia frowned. "We can't stand up to the company with our own abilities. That's why they're so confident."

"Mother, the Sun Disc must not be handed over!"

Bronya said firmly, "This is the last glory we have to protect. King Ash has blessed us with a peaceful life, fertile land, and superhuman strength. Our destiny has strayed from the Shuriman realm. Joining Shurima is not a betrayal, but a struggle for survival. Now, defending the Sun Disc is our bottom line. If we even cross this line, what is the difference between Beloberg and death?"

Cocolia suddenly smiled: "Bronya, you have really grown up. You are now a qualified great guardian."

"Mother?"

"The newly born Beloberg requires new power to protect him, and new enemies will emerge... However, it's far from time to despair. The company also has its concerns. King Ash is so powerful, but how strong is the empire behind him? There's even a Star God standing behind King Ash."

"There's also the matter of the Star Train, and Miss Black Tower. Although we don't know her identity, it's definitely not simple. Bronya, you're not completely without leverage. On the contrary, the more we're at this moment, the more we should act assertively. Have you forgotten King Ash's methods? He's definitely not a king who only knows mercy, so as his subjects, our attitude right now is crucial."

Kokolia pondered for a moment. "I think the Interstellar Peace Company might have sent someone like Shi Dewaer here for exactly this purpose. They want to overwhelm you with their power and not give you time to think. Ultimately, what we lack most in this game isn't strength, but information."

"Bad information?"

Bronya was stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. She didn't even have much idea about the existence of the company until now, but from the information provided by the train crew, she could see that it was an economic hegemony spanning the entire galaxy.

Faced with such an existence, the first thing she thought of was that she couldn't resist it.

However, even as strong as the company is, they also have their own weaknesses, and there are people and things that they are taboo about.

The more powerful the system, the more likely it is that a single move will affect the entire system. How many forces in the galaxy are eyeing the Interstellar Peace Company?

"Mother, I understand...Thank you."

Bronya felt that the physical and mental pressure was much less than when she came just now. Yes, Beloberg is not what it used to be. They still have many cards up their sleeves, and the company may not be as confident as it seems on the surface.

She had to admit that the pressure from Shi Dewaer had narrowed her thinking. This was probably the art of conversation, pulling the other person into one's own rhythm and unknowingly giving up one's own advantages.

While thinking.

Bronya's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Seele.

"what happened?"

"Xi'er said that a group of black-clad men with advanced equipment appeared in the lower area and clashed with the Earth Fire and Sand Soldiers. That guy Shi Dewaer entered the lower area and controlled the automatic robots by some unknown means. Now the lower area has become a mess."

Bronya's face was sullen. "He said he was giving us time to choose. He actually had it planned from the beginning. He wanted to show his force to force me to make a decision quickly."

"Perhaps they're trying to force King Ash to reveal himself," Cocolia mused. "Beloberg's automated robots are all designed based on the underlying code provided by the company. If they wanted to, they could turn all the robots against them... But, I remember you mentioned earlier that there are a lot of sand soldiers in the lower levels, right?"

"Yes, King Ash transferred most of the sand soldiers to the lower areas. They are guarding the Rivet Town area. I don't know why."

"Could it be that he had anticipated that people from the company would come?"

"This... shouldn't be the case, right?"

Bronya instinctively thought it was unlikely, but Ash had created so many miracles that she felt it was possible.

Soon, Bronya received another message.

[Schdewald: "Greetings, Ms. Bronya. Since this debt has far exceeded the agreed repayment period, the company reserves the right to assess all of the debtor's assets. This also provides an alternative solution for fulfilling the contract. If Beloberg is unwilling to share that power, the company reserves the right to forcibly use Yarilo VI as collateral. Please remind your subjects that the company may use some special measures during the assessment. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause them."]

"This bastard!"

What asset evaluation? It's clearly a naked threat!

"Go ahead, Bronya," Cocolia said, "Now is the time when we need you to step in. Do your best to handle this matter before King Ash returns."

"I know, mother. I will make everyone who underestimates Beloberg pay the price!"

...

Meanwhile, in the lower district.

Teams of company employees, accompanied by robots, occupied almost half of the mine.

"The company is conducting an 'asset assessment'. All non-essential personnel please evacuate immediately!"

"The company is conducting an 'asset assessment'. All non-essential personnel please evacuate immediately!"

"..."

A small automatic robot kept repeating this sentence: The outer area is a group of lower-class residents who were forcibly driven out.

They looked angrily at the people in the distance who were fighting against the Dihuo Organization.

After the crisis in the lower district was resolved, the Underfire Organization was incorporated into the official agency by Ash, replacing the Silver Mane Iron Guard to manage the security of the lower district.

So when the company's people entered the lower area to conduct asset appraisal, they first clashed with them.

Dihuo tried to stop the company employees from entering the large mining area without saying a word, but unfortunately the other party's equipment and numerical advantages were too great.

"Team One has secured the mine entrance."

"The second team begins the survey."

"Teams 3 and 4 are being attacked by forces from the lower levels. Sir, we're being attacked by sand soldiers. There are a lot of these in the lower levels!"

"..."

Sitting in a cafe in the upper district, Shi Dewaer observed the sun disk while directing his subordinates to conduct an asset assessment in the lower district.

In fact, when he went to Krippenburg to talk to Bronya, he was still prepared. It was not so easy to get Beloberg to "share" the secret, but the initiative was in their hands, and he had plenty of ways to deal with this mess.

"Where does this thing's power come from? Is it protection?"

Shi Dewaer thought about it and looked at the communication.

"Follow the original plan. If you encounter resistance, suppress it by force. The controllers of the automated soldiers have been handed over to you. Let these natives see the power of our company first."

Shi Dewaer gave the order with a smile.

"The real negotiations have just begun."

However, his smile did not last long, as bad news came immediately from the combat team.

"Master Supervisor, these sand soldiers are so powerful, there are too many of them!"

Shi Dewaer frowned. "Using automatons to fight? Aren't there many automatons hidden in the lower levels of Beloberg?"

"No, sir, the large robot we're planning to control, called 'Swarovski', is surrounded by soldiers. Our men can't get in!"

"How is that possible? They didn't know you were going down, so how could they have set up an ambush of sand soldiers in advance?" Shi Dewaer said angrily. "With so many of you, you can't even deal with a group of sand soldiers? The company gave you such good equipment for nothing!"

He had long known that there were sand soldiers stationed inside Beloberg, but in the final analysis, these were just "minions". According to the intelligence collected, their combat effectiveness was not much different from that of ordinary Rift Creations. How could they be a match for the well-armed company guards?

Although Beloberg did survive the star core crisis, the star core was sealed by the people of the Star Train. Now that the group of unknown guests have left, no one can stop him from completing this task.

The only uncertainty is King Ash who has just appeared in Beloberg. He has sent people to collect information, but unfortunately there is very little information about him.

His fate and origins are all unclear, but since he needs to rely on the power of the Star Train to deal with the star core, he probably isn't that strong.

As long as you are not at the level of an envoy, there is no room for resistance in front of the company!

"Report to the supervisor, a very powerful girl has arrived. We can't resist her at all... Help! Help!!!"

The combat team sent another message.

"Why are you panicking? Mecha crew, go and support us immediately!" Shi Dewal gave the combat order.

"Supervisor, Team One is under attack by Sand Soldiers!"

"Supervisor, Team Two is under attack by Sand Soldiers!"

"Supervisor, the mecha unit was attacked by an officer holding a shield. He led a small team to attack us. They are so strong! The mecha unit... the mecha unit is completely wiped out!"

"What!?"

Shi Dewaer stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

At this time, the cafe was surrounded by a squad of Iron Guards.

Bronya pushed the door open and walked straight to him, saying sternly, "Mr. Schdewal, I arrest you for disrupting the order of Beloberg and endangering the safety of the people!"

"No, what are you going to do?!" Shi Dewaer said angrily, "Ms. Bronya, do you know what you are doing? I am the person in charge sent by the company to handle the debt. If you arrest me, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against the company!"

"I don't think this is a signal to declare war. As the Great Guardian, it is my responsibility to maintain order and protect my people." Bronya waved her hand, and the Iron Guards rushed in and subdued the guards around Shi Dewale.

"Order? Paying back debts is only natural. If you can't pay back your debts, the entire Yalilo VI belongs to the company, including your so-called order!"

"As you said, we owe you money, but you're trampling on our dignity and attempting to seize our autonomy with a tyrannical attitude." Bronya's face was firm. "I don't know if this is how the company handles other debts, but at least, Beloberg doesn't recognize such 'rules'. Mr. Schedwald, this negotiation ends here. I'll wait for someone from your company to make a decision on what's next!"

"take away."

...

"..."

【…】

Boom! ~

Black Tower Space Station.

The room containing the simulated universe exploded again, and the noise made everyone in the space station jump in fear.

"It exploded again?!"

"Quick! Check the computer and check the system!"

"It's okay! Haha! The system is fine, that's great!"

The staff cheered with joy, feeling as if they had overcome a historic crisis.

"Ahem, ahem... Black Tower, didn't I tell you to turn off the simulation?!"

Ash forcibly exited the simulated universe and waved away the smoke in front of him.

"I'm already operating it, but it's too fast to handle it. The Black Tide's attack has completely messed up the data. But the biggest problem is your power. Even if the simulation isn't deliberately extrapolated, just involving it will cause a bunch of bugs... Tsk~ I never thought that this genius would be stumped by something like this one day."

Black Tower bit her finger, unconcerned about the simulated universe explosion. After all, even if the equipment broke, it could be rebuilt. But the simulation results over the past three days had left her feeling irritated. Why? Why couldn't the simulation work? The Star Gods, the Titans, the Black Tide had all appeared, but the crux of the matter lay at the moment Ash's solar power erupted!

Even if the computing power is doubled, the subsequent results cannot be simulated, because the power of the sun in the simulated universe is like a black hole. The unknown power attributes and unknown origin make all related information impossible to circumvent.

Just now, in Ash's last simulation, he successfully triggered a black tide. This was supposed to be a groundbreaking development, but the spontaneous attack of the black tide triggered the effect of Ash's mark. As a result, the power erupted uncontrollably and directly blew up the simulated universe.

If the Black Tower had not cut off its connection with the space station in time, it would not only be the simulated universe that would be blown up, but the entire space station.

Computing power overload!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it..." Heita turned around and kicked the wall of the room hard. It had been a long time since she encountered such a difficult thing since she joined the Genius Club.

This is even more troublesome than seeing a mechanical head once, and the cost is higher!

"It seems that we can't go on, unless Fu Li takes us directly to Omfalos, but it is obvious that guy can't do that." Ash shook his head.

In the simulated universe, he successfully met the Memory Star God Fu Li, but the other party had no intention of communicating with him and left soon.

As for Oronis, he called Fuli his Father, but that was all, and Fuli had not looked at him for as long as he had looked at Asura.

"Unless the mechanical head shows up, there's going to be no significant turnaround." Black Tower slowly calmed down and proposed a bold plan: "How about recreating the scene where you were glanced at by the Star God? Perhaps that would attract the mechanical head's attention?"

"Are you sure? The simulated universe will definitely explode like that."

The two star gods glanced at each other... No, it was the three star gods. It's just that Aha's gaze did not bring the power of destiny. However, with the influence of the power of the three star gods plus the old dragon king, Ash felt that the system was 100% or even 90% likely to collapse.

"Just blow it up. It will blow up sooner or later anyway. If it can attract the attention of the mechanical head and preserve the information, it will be worth it." Heita was too lazy to care about the cost. She would never give up until this matter was resolved.

As she said this, she saw Yaxiu staring at his phone, frowning and thinking.

"Interstellar Peace Corporation?"

During the chat, Bronya reported everything that happened in Beloberg, including the debt collection brought by Schdewald, the demands made by the other party, the battle in the lower district, and the suppression of company members.

At present, all members of the company, including Shi Dewa, have been captured, because some people resisted too fiercely, resulting in casualties during the battle.

There is no other way. The company's technology is there. If it were not for the support of the Sand Soldiers and Xier, the lower area would not be able to suppress it by relying solely on the underground fire.

"The company is here?" Heita didn't seem surprised. "Those guys really showed up just by smelling something."

"You knew they were coming?"

"I just found out. A friend of mine inside the company told me about this. He mentioned what the company wanted and asked if I was interested."

"The mole you planted?"

"Don't be so harsh. We're just taking what we need. This is a company, after all. How can we be completely united?" After a pause, Heita continued, "Do you want to go back to Beloberg? The company seems very determined this time. If we don't handle this well, they'll probably use force to suppress it."
