Chapter 1075: Alice and Morning Star (Part 2)
Alice's words were harsh, causing Manina to involuntarily draw a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lance quickly asked Manina.
"..." After a brief moment of thought, Manina replied solemnly, "Do as she says. Blue Devourer."
"Your Majesty," the emotionless voice of the AI, Blue Devourer, echoed in the command center.
"Notify Sib, Oteras, Stym, and the Mermaid Empress to fully cooperate with Alice in attacking Morning Star, no matter the cost."
"Understood."
"Ah..." After issuing the order, Manina slumped back into his chair and sighed heavily.
He had no choice but to make this decision. It was a matter of necessity.
Firstly, the threat Alice posed was too severe.
If they didn't comply, and she used this as a reason to persuade Mona to withdraw from the war, and the Siren agreed, it would be a catastrophic loss for their Skrul planet!
Secondly, the situation had escalated to the point where Morning Star, the feline, was already at the center of the battlefield. They couldn't let her escape without a concentrated attack.
As for the collateral damage that would occur during the attack...
There was nothing he could do about it. He had to issue the attack order.
...
Upon receiving Manina's command, the Mermaid Empress was the first to respond.
She quickly locked onto Morning Star's position, and a vast expanse of bright, white tidal waves formed around her, ready for the attack.
The other three Skrul human deities, however, hesitated for a considerable amount of time.
Morning Star was surrounded by a dense cluster of Skrul warships. Their full-force attacks would inevitably harm their own forces, and the casualties would be significant.
But they had no choice.
Manina's order was clear, and they had to comply.
Reluctantly, they also locked their targets on Morning Star and began casting their spirit spells.
Morning Star felt four powerful divine auras lock onto her. These were from four deities, plus Alice, making it five deities in total.
At this point, she knew she couldn't escape. Facing a concentrated attack from five deities of the same rank, with her already sustaining significant injuries, she was unlikely to survive.
So, Morning Star stopped running.
Her pale blue figure stood on a wide Skrul warship, her gaze sweeping over the five deities who had locked onto her.
Morning Star had over a dozen wounds, and her pale blue blood continuously flowed, sticking to her fur. Combined with the dust in the air, she looked rather dirty.
Her internal injuries were also severe, and she had expended most of her spiritual energy. The remaining energy was insufficient to allow her to continue fleeing.
Morning Star knew her time was running out.
Before her death, she sent a final mental message to Su Yu: "Counter, this is the end of my second life. Keep fighting!"
After receiving the mental message, Su Yu felt a momentary lapse in concentration.
His plan had failed, and Morning Star was unlikely to escape this fate.
He hadn't anticipated that the enemy would be so ruthless, completely disregarding the lives of their lower and middle-ranking soldiers.
It was his fault, and he had caused Morning Star's life to be lost here.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment before responding with his mental energy, "Go with peace, rest well in the Evolution World."
"Okay," Morning Star replied softly.
At the same time, her body suddenly erupted in a myriad of starlight!
The starlight enveloped her entirely, and her form began to grow larger within the radiant glow.

In fact, Morning Star had one last move: self-destruction!
She could detonate herself, taking out dozens of nearby warships and hundreds of high-ranking warriors in the process.
But she didn't do it.
She knew that if she self-destructed and took out those warships and warriors, the Skrull foot soldiers would blame her.
However, if the five Skrull gods misfired and accidentally hit those warships and warriors, the blame would fall on the gods instead.
So, Morning Star didn't self-destruct. Instead, she unleashed a barrage of starlight, gathering all the remaining power she had.
She wanted to tell the five Skrull gods, "Come and hit me! If you don't, I'll escape."
The five Skrull gods saw this and knew they couldn't hesitate.
In that moment, all five of them attacked simultaneously, launching a torrent of spirit arts that rained down on Morning Star like water droplets in a waterfall.
Among them, Alice posed the greatest threat.
Alice seemed to be using her full strength, releasing four "Light Blades" and three large, pale green nets, completely sealing off all of Morning Star's escape routes.
Morning Star had no intention of dodging.
She closed her eyes and let the overwhelming spirit arts, "Light Blades," and nets hit her.
Boom!
At the center of the Skrull allied forces, where Morning Star stood, a spectacular "firework" exploded.
Morning Star was the first to suffer, nearly instantly dying in the torrent of chaotic spirit energy.
Dozens of nearby warships and hundreds of high-ranking warriors were also caught in the blast.
Those closest to Morning Star had no time to escape and died instantly with her.
Those a bit farther away had a chance to survive, but most of them were still hit by the spirit arts and sustained serious injuries.
Across the battlefield, both the Skrull allied forces and the Blue Planet troops turned their attention to this scene.
Many on the Blue Planet side didn't know what had happened, only seeing the Skrull gods attacking their own forces, which left them in shock.
The Skrull soldiers and high-ranking warriors, on the other hand, were furious, their morale plummeting.
The high command, led by Emperor Manina, clearly didn't value their lives at all!
How many soldiers had just died alongside Morning Star?
Everyone knew that Morning Star would revive, but was it worth sacrificing so many lives to save hers?
Of course, in the midst of a space battle, no one could consider rebellion or quitting.
Still, many Skrull soldiers felt disheartened, their fighting spirit all but extinguished.
On the Blue Planet side, Su Yu's anger was rising.
Seeing Morning Star die, he was angry at himself for misjudging the situation and desperately wanted to avenge her.
Although Morning Star still had eight lives left, seeing her die so horribly filled him with rage.
He wanted to fly out and fight the Skrulls, destroying a few warships and killing some high-ranking warriors to vent his anger.
But remembering his agreement with Mona, he couldn't do it, leaving him feeling frustrated and stuck at the Black Tortoise Outpost.
"Damn, I shouldn't have signed that agreement!" Su Yu muttered angrily.
Tina, standing beside him, heard his words.
Tina immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, this is just her second life. She has many more revivals ahead. I'll check on her in our world. You keep commanding, and don't overthink it."
