Chapter 348 - Ursa Major Galaxy, Grand Duke of the Empire
Chapter 348 - Ursa Major Galaxy, Grand Duke of the Empire
Across the entire Earth, there was only one person whom Lord Noyin feared the most. It was that supergalactic lifeform who had wiped out the gods and the Kryptonians.
A supergalactic lifeform!
In the Balkan Empire, stellar lifeforms were everywhere, and the life of a galactic lifeform was worse than that of a dog.
It could be said that stellar lifeforms and galactic lifeforms were cannon fodder, thugs, and guards.
Those with aspirations joined the imperial army, and if they were lucky enough to survive combat, they could be minor nobles.
Those without aspirations would join a high house and become bodyguards or guards.
In any case, their status would be very average.
However, once galactic lifeforms made another breakthrough and became supergalactic lifeforms, their status would change drastically.
The Balkan Empire commanded a vast region. It was in control of 52 galaxies and a territory that spanned eight million light-years, with a population in the trillions. Yet, a supergalactic lifeform was rare.
Therefore, all the supergalactic lifeforms were the noblest existences in the Balkan Empire.
It did not matter even if one was a downtrodden beggar or a nameless lowborn. As long as one became a supergalactic lifeform, one would immediately become a noble with at least the rank of an Earl, with dozens of planets as one's territory.
As a member of the Balkan imperial family, the purest of the Balkans, and also as the Empire's grand duke, Lord Noyin believed that he could kill any ordinary supergalactic lifeform.
However, the problem was, based on the information given by Kaine, many of the supergalactic lifeforms Ling Jiu killed were ancients that had cultivated by the white hole for tens of thousands of years. Even Lord Noyin did not think that he could kill such existences easily.
This shows to a large extent that Ling Jiu was a very terrifying supergalactic lifeform, so how could Lord Noyin not be wary of him?
One needed to know that, in this trip, all the men he brought along were galactic lifeforms. He was the only supergalactic lifeform.
"He-He's that supergalactic lifeform on Earth?"
Lord Noyin stared at Ling Jiu, a look of fear flashing past his eyes.
"Yes, my lord!"
The spaceship AI answered.
"Just now... it was your people who attacked me?"
Ling Jiu also took a measure of Lord Noyin.
He had twin black horns on his head and wore a sanguine cape. His skin was unexpectedly fair, and if it were not for his horns that looked like goat horns, he would almost be no different from an Earthling.
"Attacked you?"
Lord Noyin squirmed, and immediately thought of the dozen or so men he had sent out and could not help but to growl. "Sir, what have you done with them?"
"Killed them of course," Ling Jiu said indifferently.
"Trespassing onto my planet without my permission is one crime; sending your subordinates to attack me for no reason is another. So tell me, how do you want to die?"
Hearing this, Lord Noyin's expression sank. "Sir, breaching your planet wilfully was indeed my mistake, and I can make amends now! As for those errand-runners, since you've killed them, so be it! I will leave this planet immediately, how about it?"
"You think you can come and leave as you please? Are you the owner of this place?"
Ling Jiu showed a look of disdain. "If you know what's good for you, surrender now, or else, I'll go wild!"
Hearing this, Lord Noyin was furious. He was the Grand Duke of the Balkan Empire, the uncle of the current reigning emperor. Wherever he went, there was no one who did not treat him with respect, who would dare to speak to him in such a manner in the empire?
Now, after coming to such a backwater planet, a nameless native dare to talk to him like this?!
This was unacceptable!
"Sir, you may not know who I am."
Lord Noyin suppressed the anger in his heart. "I hail from the Balkan Empire, and am the uncle of the current emperor!"
"The Balkan Empire? The heck is that?" Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Lord Noyin almost went crazy. It was like literally talking to a wall. I already stated my identity, yet he is clueless about it.
Lord Noyin managed to endure the anger in his heart as he slowly said, "The Balkan Empire is the only master of the Ursa Major galaxy!"
"The territory of the Balkan Empire spans eight million light-years, and the intelligent beings under our rule are in the trillions..."
"That great?"
Ling Jiu was surprised. He knew about the Local Group a massive galaxy group which was formed by the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, and the surrounding fifty or so galaxies, and it spanned 10 million light years in radius.
However, he did not know which galaxy group the Ursa Major galaxy belonged to.
"Ling Jiu, the Ursa Major galaxy group is the group of galaxies neighboring the Local Group. It has a diameter of eight million light-years, slightly smaller than that of the Local Group," Leoux explained.
"Meanwhile, the Balkan Empire is the Grand Unified Civilization that dominates the Ursa Major galaxy. This person here seemed to be the uncle of the current reigning emperor. He's of noble blood."
"Of noble blood indeed."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "So what? Since he has discovered Earth and the wormholes, he cannot be allowed to leave alive, or else our troubles will be endless."
"Are you going to kill him?"
Leoux chuckled and said, "Are you not afraid of courting vengeance from the Balkan Empire? You should know, they are a Grand Unified Civilization."
What was a Grand Unified Civilization?
Starting from a planetary civilization, to a stellar civilization, and then a galactic civilization to a supergalactic civilization, standing above a supergalactic civilization was a Grand Unified civilization, a civilization that could control a local group.
For such a civilization, when compared to a planetary civilization, it was simply an immovable behemoth.
If the latter were to seek revenge, who could stop it?
"I'm not! Don't I have you?"
Ling Jiu didn't care. "I don't care who the heck you are, you dare to intrude upon Earth, then you must be prepared to die!"
"Earthling, do you really want to make an enemy out of me?"
Lord Noyin's expression sank as his body exuded bursts of menacing aura.
"F*ck you! You already pissed all over my turf, if I do nothing about it, how can I survive in the future?"
Ling Jiu snorted coldly. "Cut the nonsense, how do you want to die?"
"What insolence!"
Lord Noyin nodded slightly. "Don't think because I give you an inch that I'm afraid of you, not like I've not killed supergalactic lifeforms before!"
"Heh, come on then."
The corners of Ling Jiu's mouth rose slightly. "Let me see how capable this imperial uncle of the Balkan Empire is. Listen, I'll be waiting for you outside."
As soon as his voice left, Ling Jiu quietly disappeared from the spaceship, and when he reappeared, he was already outside it.
This was after all a spaceship from a Grand Unified Civilization, and it was the product of the Balkan Empire's technology. It was better to keep it intact. It would be a shame if it was destroyed.
"Kaine, prepare the gravity bomb, and locked onto that damned native."
Lord Noyin said coldly. "If I am no match for him, immediately launch the gravity bomb, and blast him into atoms."
"Your command is my will, my lord!" the spaceship AI, Kaine said respectfully.
"Open the hatch!"
As the hatch opened, Lord Noyin led hundreds of his men out and came outside. At this moment, Ling Jiu was already waiting there.
"This native... so fast!"
Lord Noyin secretly increased his vigilance as he stepped forward and appeared before Ling Jiu. The wind bellowed as his cloak fluttered in the air.
"Sir, the great of the Balkan Empire is not an entity you can provoke.
Lord Noyin stared at Ling Jiu as he hissed coldly. "If you know your place, immediately..."
"Oh, cut the useless crap." Ling Jiu waved his hand. "Make your move!"
"You're too much!"
Lord Noyin let out a growl as he stepped forward with a bang, and the void shook violently.
The next second, following a shrill rip, Lord Noyin cut through the void and suddenly appeared before Ling Jiu.
Then, he slammed his iron fist toward Ling Jiu with overwhelming force!
