Chapter 566: Green Crown Bird Festival
Chapter 566: Green Crown Bird Festival
The scene shifts back to Su Yu in the country of Baker.
For the next two hours, Su Yu remained in the guest room, restoring his mental energy and healing his wounds. Morningstar, in her small fox form, continuously provided him with mental healing techniques. However, these techniques had limited effectiveness, and most of the healing relied on Su Yu’s own recovery.
Sind Doppler did not disturb them. After learning about Su Yu’s condition, he returned to his office, activated the defensive array around his residence to enhance its seclusion, and ordered the guards stationed nearby to disperse. This was to prevent anyone from detecting the leakage of Su Yu’s energy while he was recovering.
About an hour later, Sind Doppler received a message from his confidant. With his permission, the two met in the office on the second floor of the residence.
This confidant was named Nick, a fifth-rank psionic warrior specializing in stealth and assassination. He wore a black outfit and carried a backpack that was wider than a person’s waist and bulging.
Upon seeing Sind Doppler, Nick took off his backpack and placed it on the ground, whispering, “Sir, I’ve brought the ‘Radiation Absorption Crystals’ you requested. I have 50 kilograms, which should be enough, right?”
“50 kilograms? That’s plenty, thank you for your hard work!” Sind Doppler nodded kindly and poured a glass of Leico Bug Juice for him. “Nick, is there anything else?”
“Thank you, sir!” Nick respectfully took the glass and took a small sip.
Hearing his superior’s question, he gulped down the Leico Bug Juice and replied, “There’s one more thing: as you expected, Emperor Manina XIII of the Sun Empire is about to make a speech. It will start in about half an hour and will be broadcast in the sky over the Sun Empire.”
“Of course!” A smile appeared at the corner of Sind Doppler’s mouth.
He knew Manina would come out to gloat after claiming to have killed “Su Yu.” And now, it was happening!
“Good job, go rest now.” Sind Doppler reached out and affectionately patted Nick’s shoulder.
After Nick left, Sind Doppler sat back at his desk and instructed his AI assistant to pull up live footage of the sky above Sun City, with an alert set for any activity.
About 26 minutes later, he received an AI notification: “Master, an anomaly has been detected in the sky above Sun City. The Sun Empire government will be using ‘Sky Broadcast’ to address the public. Would you like to watch?”
Here it comes! Sind Doppler’s spirits lifted as he instructed the AI to start the broadcast.
Using dual-phase simulation technology, the AI created a virtual screen in front of him, displaying the sky above Sun City.
The sky began to distort, and a three-dimensional projection of Manina XIII appeared.
The last time Manina had made a speech was after the assassination of the Rentek Alliance Chairman by Su Yu. At that time, Manina was furious, vowing to avenge Chairman Kas.
Now, Manina looked elated, his face beaming with a broad smile.
The residents of the Sun Empire noticed the changes in the sky and looked up. Many of them knelt before the 3D projection of the emperor, clasping their hands in reverence.
“Manina” spread his arms wide and declared with authority, “My people, I am your noble emperor, and I have a piece of good news to share with you all!”
His voice spread quickly, and every citizen within the empire could hear him clearly.
He loudly announced, "Just now, we planned and executed an operation called 'Green Crown Bird.'
"Lord Victoria, a divine mentalist, wielded our country's artifact, the Blazing Sun Seal, and personally executed the Blue Star human leader, Su Yu, successfully avenging the deaths of Runkte Alliance Speaker Cass, Deputy Speaker Gordon, and Secretary of State Ray!"
"This is a day to be remembered!
"Although we have lost the artifact, the Blazing Sun Seal, we Skrull people have finally rid ourselves of the burden of the past and washed away the shame of our history!"
"From this day forward, I, on behalf of the Skrull Expeditionary Army, declare to all the people that we Skrulls have successfully avenged our grievances, with the gods as our witnesses!"
The sky began to repeatedly broadcast the footage of Su Yu being killed by the Blazing Sun Seal.
The citizens of Blazing Sun were ecstatic, shouting in unison:
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live!"
"Long live forever!"
Cheers echoed throughout the major cities of the empire as everyone expressed their deepest respect to the Emperor in the sky.
Of course, they all knew that Su Yu, who had ascended to the Seventh Rank Legendary, was the greatest enemy of all Skrulls.
Now that this greatest enemy was eliminated, everyone was naturally overjoyed.
For a moment, the entire nation celebrated!
But far away in Beker, Cindy Doppler felt something was off.
He stroked his chin and frowned, sharply noticing Manina's statement, "Although we have lost the artifact, the Blazing Sun Seal." He couldn't understand this part.
From the footage of Lord Victoria executing Su Yu, the Blazing Sun Seal appeared undamaged after the kill. Lord Victoria could have easily brought it back unharmed.
But now it was "lost"? What was going on?
Could it be that Lord Victoria was just too happy and decided to dismantle the artifact for fun?
Just as he was puzzling over it, Manina continued his announcement from the sky:
"From this day forward, I hereby declare today as 'Green Crown Bird Day.' From this day until my passing, every year on this day, the entire nation will have a holiday! We will all celebrate this great victory together!"
"Ohhhhhhhh~"
The entire Blazing Sun Empire erupted in excitement!
Su Yu's death didn't directly affect most of them, but they were still overjoyed. They hadn't expected a national holiday because of it!
This impacted their personal interests, and they could only say, "Su Yu's death is great!"
Thunderous cheers resounded through every city, and Manina's prestige reached its peak during his reign.
But Cindy Doppler wasn't in the mood to care about any of this.
He had his AI assistant record the entire video and send it to his phone.
He picked up his phone and made his way to the third-floor guest room where Su Yu was staying.
Knock, knock, knock!
He knocked on the door.
"Please come in," came Su Yu's slightly weak voice from inside.
Cindy Doppler pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Su Yu still harmonizing and nurturing his mental energy. However, his complexion was already much rosier than before.
"Lord Doppler, what brings you here?" Su Yu opened his eyes and looked at him.
"It's like this," Manina said as he projected the footage from his phone onto the wall, explaining to Su Yu, "A while ago, Emperor Blazing Sun made a speech after executing you. I think you should see it."
"Ah." Su Yu nodded slightly and looked at the video on the wall.
