Black Tower's arrogance and confidence were on full display in response to Himeko's question.
"We will win!"
Upon hearing this declaration of victory, Qiong's calm expression immediately crumbled.
"No, sis, what are you talking about?"
"Don't pull anything on me later. I'm sorry, Lord Zandal, I apologize for not being able to get you to use your full strength."
"Stop looking down on people."
The Great Black Tower rolled its eyes at Qiong in annoyance.
"Four against one, the advantage is on our side... well, not as big as we thought."
She toned down her tone somewhat.
"Mr. Screw, how are your preparations going?"
Himeko looked at the elegant and composed AI genius.
"Please give me some more time, for the reason that I need to explain the logical necessity to my fellow citizens in the Imperial Council."
Screw Gum's eyes flashed once, and it slowly spoke.
"Hey, to be honest, Screw, sometimes I really wonder if those screw-headed people in the Imperial Advisory Council are even the same species as you?"
The Great Black Tower waved its black key wand to assist Nguyen Mai, who was pondering and adjusting the digital vaccine.
Qiong stood beside Ruan Mei, watching her edit the vaccine, completely unable to understand it.
They then turned their attention to the screw.
Although Old Snail is the king of Snail Star and a true leader of civilization, he is not like a dictator like Cerrudra who has absolute authority. Snail Star has a parliamentary system.
When making major decisions concerning the fate of the entire civilization, the Imperial Council must conduct collective discussions and votes.
ScrewGumm was silent for a few seconds:
"Knowledge has no hierarchy; understanding changes depending on the process. Everything that is incomprehensible has a corresponding explanation. I praise equality of thought."
"Old Luo's words are still the most pleasant to hear."
Qiong smacked her lips.
Look at that emotional intelligence!
It surpasses most carbon-based organisms.
Let me translate: Let me explain the situation to those idiots.
"I hope those guys don't take advantage of your absence and dismantle all the fortresses in your vault."
At times like this, Black Tower thinks its own space station's little stationmaster is super cute, never holding her back like the Imperial Advisory Council does, and can even be used as an ATM.
It was a wise move to bring her out of the family back then.
"I've heard that Mr. Screw's collection is all planetary-level: hyacinths, poppies, oleanders... Which ship will you send to provide support?"
When the topic turned to treasures and war fortresses, Old Yang perked up.
"Conclusion: A comprehensive evaluation is needed based on the final perfection and efficacy parameters of Ms. Ruan Mei's vaccine."
The screw turned towards Ruan Mei.
The Iron Tomb is an Extinction Lord targeting intellect; even planetary-level warships can be infected by the Iron Tomb's equations.
At that time, it will likely become a weapon used by the Iron Tomb to destroy the galaxy.
Of course, it wouldn't be so easy for Iron Tomb to control Screw's warship fortress. Screw Star has the support of the Machine Dao Emperor Star Body Differential Machine, which can resist the infection of the Destruction Equation to a certain extent.
However, the defensive capabilities of the differential engine are limited. If all warships were to operate it, the defensive capabilities distributed among each warship would be weakened.
There is a risk of being infected and controlled by the Iron Tomb.
In that case, it would be better to send only one or two ships to maximize the defensive capabilities.
"They really know it like the back of their hand... I'd rather none of them came at all, to save face for my space station."
Compared to Screw's planetary-level warships, the Black Tower space station is like a little toy.
Putting these two together makes her Black Tower look so bad.
"How about we use Estella's card to build a planetary warship to serve as a frigate for the Black Tower space station?"
"I don't think so."
Qiong shook her head, refusing verbally.
"Who asked you?"
Black Tower rolled its eyes at Qiong.
"I'm going to marry into the Estádio family, and you're spending my money right now! Besides, aren't you afraid of scaring the people on Azure Star?"
Ignoring the banter between Qiong and Heita, Ruan Mei shook her head slightly.
"There isn't enough time."
“I can try to develop a comprehensive anti-destruction life vaccine for individual inorganic devices, but I need your cooperation.”
Given her personality, she wouldn't normally want to get involved in the Iron Tomb incident, but what could she do when Qiong was at the center of the storm?
Ruan Mei gave a complete slice of herself to Qiong, and she is learning to treat Qiong as herself.
It means that she herself was at the center of the storm.
Therefore, she could not remain uninvolved.
A message notification vibrated from Qiong's pocket. Qiong saw Ruan Mei, Hei Ta, and Luo Si Gu Mu pause almost imperceptibly, then take out their phones and unlock them with their iris scanners.
There's new information in the simulated universe testing project group.
The ID is Stephen.
[The computing power pool is ready for preheating and can be accessed at any time. @Everyone]
Stephen is ready.
Qiong and Stephen's relationship is no worse than that of Screw and Gum, so when asked to help, Stephen naturally wouldn't refuse.
Here, this is called connections!
"Then stop dawdling and get started right away."
Black Tower stood up abruptly, its black key wand pointing directly at Onpharos outside the window.
Stephen, who was providing remote support, and the three geniuses who were brought over by Qiong through the Anywhere Door, a total of four geniuses, planned to crack the system protocol of the Scepter.
Despite being suppressed by administrator privileges, some backdoors were written into the Regenerative process.
This would normally be impossible, because it was a combination of the scepter prototype and the first genius.
But the combined wisdom and power of four geniuses are enough to turn most of the impossibilities in the galaxy into amazing miracles!
While the four geniuses attack from the outside, Qiong will lead a small team and the Fire Moths to cause trouble from within, attracting Gu Shi's attention.
"Everyone, we also have some news here. The Immortal Boat Alliance has replied, expressing their willingness to contribute their modest efforts to the conquest of the Iron Tomb."
Himeko's slightly cheerful voice came over.
"In this way, our chances of winning will increase even further."
Walter nodded, adjusted his glasses, and asked, "How many troops will the Alliance send?"
"Regarding support..."
……
Fairy Boat Alliance.
Regarding the Iron Tomb and Onpharos, it was Kyō who contacted Kagemoto, and then handed over the follow-up conversation to Himeko.
Rounding it off, Jingyuan could be considered Qiong's grand-disciple, couldn't he?
Upon receiving the information, Jing Yuan realized the seriousness of the matter and, without any delay, immediately reported it to the Marshal.
The highest-level Heavenly General Conference of the Immortal Boat Alliance was subsequently convened urgently.
Although the formal agenda had ended, the figures of the four celestial generals still lingered in the encrypted communication channel.
"Is your reluctance to break communication due to a desire to catch up, or do you have something to say to me?"
A voice, carrying an air of nobility and a hint of languor, rang out on the channel like pearls falling onto a jade plate.
"General Rong Tao's abilities are evident to all, yet he has brought great prosperity to the Jade Palace. He is a diviner who goes deep behind enemy lines, yet he always manages to achieve unexpected victories and turn misfortune into good fortune. He is truly admirable."
Feixiao asked curiously.
"Was your volunteering this time the result of divination? What did you see?"
General Rong Tao is a civil general stationed at the Jade Palace Immortal Ship equipped with the Cloud-Viewing Mirror. He observes the hunting route through the Cloud-Viewing Mirror and formulates overall combat plans for Marshal Hua.
They are responsible for strategic planning and intelligence analysis within the Xianzhou military system and are known as the "behind-the-scenes brains."
During the meeting just now, this mastermind actually volunteered to go to the front line against the Iron Tomb.
“This is unusual. The Avalokiteshvara only saw chaos. If I am not wrong, the cause and effect of Onpharos has disappeared from the Qiong Guan Formation.”
General Rong Tao's real name was Yao Guang.
"General Yao Guang's eyes are sharp. In your opinion, what does this unusual phenomenon signify, good or bad?"
Jing Yuan squinted.
“In divination, we call it ‘illusory divination’: it involves stars and gods, and ordinary people cannot see the whole picture.”
"Your explanation is no easier to understand than Fu Qing's."
Upon hearing this, Yao Guang smiled slightly, a hint of playfulness in his expression:
"Oh dear, what's so hard to understand about the phrase 'uncertainty'?"
"If the measurement was inaccurate, why did General Rong Tao volunteer to go to the dangerous place himself?"
General Huaiyan stroked his white beard.
"If you want to explain the reason..."
Yao Guangyu gently raised her hand, her slender fingertips holding a fortune slip, neither the auspicious gold nor the ominous black-red.
Instead, they are colorful.
It even contained a subtle and enchanting peach-red hue that made Yao Guang feel something special.
An unprecedented signing.
Moreover, using the Ten Directions Light to illuminate the Dharma Realm and reflect the future is not merely 'uncertain,' but utterly unpredictable.
"The war of the gods is about to begin."
Yao Guang's words made Fei Xiao, Jing Yuan, and Huai Yan all raise their eyes.
"Do you all know how to be the last one standing at the poker table?"
Yao Guang's eyes shone with a peacock-like seven-colored light.
"Compared to the optimal solution, good luck is invincible."
"However, with formidable enemies surrounding us, it is advisable to leave a few immortal ships in the rear for unforeseen circumstances. Deploying two immortal ships and four heavenly generals for the battle of the Iron Tomb is not the optimal solution."
"But my gut feeling tells me it's time to go all in."

Inside the scepter, Onpharos.
Lai Gushi is gone.
He found that eloquence and rhetoric were like trying to persuade a masked fool with philosophy in front of Qiong.
