Rota Emperor had been feeling quite uneasy lately. Although he had used a Planet Bomb to dissuade Marshal from further requesting reinforcents, he knew that if even the Planet Bomb failed, he would eventually have to send troops.
Once Rota Star lost the defense of its General and Soldiers, relying solely on courtiers who spent their days engaging in political squabbles and intrigues, he would be dood.
As an Emperor, he possessed not only the overt powers but also had an army of his own. The number of people who knew about this army, including himself, was fewer than five.
Even Marshal was unaware of his possession of a complete army. This was the last trump card left by the Emperors of the past to prevent the Empire's downfall, providing the Emperor with a last chance to escape in case of a dire situation.
This army was stationed in a remote location and possessed a device excavated from so ancient relic. This device had the capability for long-distance teleportation, allowing the army to reach Rota Star in an instant. Over the years, there was only one usage opportunity left, so he had to be cautious.
At this mont, he was in the courtyard, enjoying the performance of a group of palace maids. For him, this was a form of indulgence.
As an Emperor, he held supre power, but he couldn't leave Rota Star. His life was more precious than anything else.
The last assassination attempt had infuriated him, leading to a major purge on Rota Star that claid countless lives.
He believed that the so-called "Shadow Hall" would not dare to assassinate him again; that would be outright suicide.
With Marshal absent, the strongest guard by his side was a General with the power of Large Galaxy Sixth Order. Still, he always felt a lack of security.
Fortunately, Rota Star itself had various defensive powers. Even if a Large Galaxy Ninth Order Powerhouse were to attack, it could hold out for a while. Rota Emperor was initially sowhat panicked, but he quickly regained his composure.
At this mont, a palace maid approached with a tray of fine wine, preparing to pour a drink for Rota Emperor. It was his habit, and watching a beautiful woman pour wine was much more appealing than having a man do it.
However, this ti, before the palace maid could get within ten ters of Rota Emperor, the General by his side blocked her path.
"Who gave you the audacity to assassinate His Majesty?" The General shouted loudly. The palace maid's body underwent a sudden transformation, almost instantly turning into an odd-looking mber of a Universe race.
It was yet another assassin!
Realizing that its identity was exposed, it let out a piercing scream and its body swelled, causing it to explode. However, the explosion had no effect whatsoever in the presence of a Large Galaxy-level Powerhouse. He simply extended his hand and gathered all the explosions together, without affecting anything beyond a ter.
Even though it didn't harm him physically, Rota Emperor's expression was still grim. This was the second ti!
In the history of Rota Empire, there were only a few Emperors who had been assassinated, let alone two attempts. It was a disgrace.
"Cheng Chao, find out who dares to order my assassination. I want their entire clan exterminated!" Rota Emperor trembled with anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty," General Cheng Chao responded.
This matter was quickly investigated. An assassin organization consisting of Universe race mbers, who else could it be aside from Shadow Hall?
Furthermore, they received another piece of information: soone in Shadow Hall had issued a mission to assassinate the Rota Empire Emperor, with the reward being a guaranteed opportunity for evolution.
"Who dares to do this? Who wants dead?" Rota Emperor was becoming anxious. He knew all too well what a guaranteed opportunity for evolution ant; it would drive countless Powerhouses to madness.
Even he, with his status, could only experience evolution once in his lifeti. This was a blessing passed down by the Empire's ancestors; otherwise, with his own abilities, he would never have a chance to evolve.
Evolution was proving to be difficult, not to ntion attempting it a second or even multiple tis.
He had heard a rumor that once any life completed five evolutions, they would reach a limit, and attempting to evolve further at this limit would result in incredible changes.
For Universe races within Shadow Hall that had undergone five evolutions, their strength was undoubtedly formidable. Even soone like Cheng chao general, at the sa level, would not be a match. After all, Cheng Chao General had only evolved once.
Rota Emperor didn't know that this was just the beginning. In the days that followed, he was constantly targeted for assassination, regardless of where he was. It seed that mbers of Shadow Hall could infiltrate with ease, as if the defenses of Rota Star were nothing more than a joke.
After enduring more than a dozen assassination attempts, Rota Emperor finally realized one thing—there was a traitor within Rota Star!
Without a traitor, how could so many Shadow Hall mbers easily assassinate him?
With this realization, Rota Emperor's anger intensified towards the traitor. He ordered Cheng Chao to conduct a search, and no one was allowed to interfere. Anyone who dared to obstruct Cheng Chao's investigation would be deed a traitor and killed on the spot.
In this situation, Cheng Chao's search proceeded smoothly. He knew that he was making enemies, but he didn't care because he had the Emperor's backing.
Finally, the traitor couldn't sit idly by any longer and revealed themselves. Shockingly, it turned out to be a high-ranking minister of the current court!
This was a significant fish, even attracting Cheng Chao's attention.
At this mont, another assassination attempt by Shadow Hall unfolded!
Without Cheng Chao, the powerhouse protecting him, Rota Emperor was injured for the first ti. A massive crack appeared on his back, filled with toxins. If not for the resources of the Rota Empire, he might not have survived.
Rota Emperor's injury seed to give Shadow Hall hope, and they launched multiple assassination attempts. Sotis, several assassins would appear simultaneously, causing considerable trouble for Rota Star.
The Universe race's Disguise Ability was incredibly potent. As long as they didn't reveal themselves, it was impossible to tell they weren't humans from their outward appearance. Even a Large Galaxy-level Powerhouse would need to scrutinize carefully to discover their true nature.
As for Small Galaxy-level Powerhouses, they couldn't discern it at all.
This was normal, as without the Disguise Ability, Shadow Hall would likely have been eradicated long ago by the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group.
Shadow Hall was relentlessly attempting to assassinate Rota Emperor, while their top spy was reporting the situation to Su Chen in real-ti.
Su Chen knew that Rota Emperor wouldn't be easily killed. He was intentionally causing trouble for the opposition. As long as he genuinely beca afraid, he would eventually recall RotaMarshal, and that would be the ti for Red AlertEmpire to strike.
Without RotaMarshal, a Large Galaxy Ninth Order Powerhouse overseeing the situation, others were of no concern. With the strength of Red AlertEmpire, they could easily dominate.
Since this was a human star system, Cosmic Behemoth was a different matter, but Les, the Protoss, couldn't openly appear on the battlefield. Every ti he acted, he wore battle attire that concealed his entire body, preventing anyone from seeing his true appearance.
Fortunately, Protoss and humans were quite similar in appearance, so no one would realize he was a Protoss.
