Chapter 819: Chapter 814 Serious Consequences_1

“Yes, Your Highness! Initiate the warship self-destruct sequence! Reverse the reaction chamber! Engines to unlimited charge!” Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their voices were no longer held back but loudly exclaimed as they spoke. Everyone began to sit back down and operated their stations.

But no matter how they operated, it was already impossible to change their fate. Still, Jeremiah’s orders were transmitted. Just wanting to self-destruct? Is that possible? Outside, there was no longer any resistance, countless corrupted insects as if following some command, began frenziedly attacking the engines of the various warships, now unprotected by energy shields.

The number of corrupted insects outside was innumerable; the simultaneous attack by countless hatching insects had one only effect: one by one, the warship engines were targeted and detonated. With the engines exploding, the self-destruct systems of the warships could no longer be initiated. However, even when the self-destruct couldn’t be initiated, the warships began to explode nonetheless, and even without the self-destruct sequence, the explosive force of the warships was still considerable.

But such explosive power was just that, explosive power, and it was even weaker than a concentrated barrage from the warships’ main cannons. The Leviathan didn’t even bother to move; all its tentacles broke off automatically, and then a horrific chain of explosions only swept away the warships and the insect species’ ground units aboard them.

Some of the corrupted insects attacking the warships in the vicinity were also taken out, but as for the Leviathan, when the light of those explosions touched its underside, a pale purple energy shield directly blocked out all of the explosive light and even the scattering debris.

At this moment, Finn finally realized that this pale purple shield was not merely akin to the Rochefort Clan’s warships’ shields; it was more like the protective force field that Luna had allowed Finn to exchange for from Zero! The protective force field is more like an invisible wall, this contraption can block various kinds of attacks and also prevent anything from crossing the protective stance; you may regard it as a wall.

But those first-class warship shields can’t do the same; they can only block and weaken energy attacks. If space fighters or space warships were to fly directly into them, there would be no stopping them. That’s the biggest difference between the two, and this protective force field is somewhat badass.

Finn finally understood why Luna originally suggested that Finn build new warships; even just seeing the Leviathan here, Finn witnessed the power of this thing. But the prerequisite is, you need sufficiently strong energy; otherwise, it’s of no use.

Yet the Leviathan remained so nonchalant, indicative of how little the explosive force of the blasts affected it. But these insect species fight so fiercely. Just how many insect units were inside those warships? Nearly a million combined, but just like that, they turned to ash along with the warships, and none of the insect species displayed any hint of emotional disturbance.

It was as if they merely discarded something insignificant. The battle was over, the entire fleet turned into space debris, with nothing escaping. With so many corrupted insects guarding outside, not even any escape shuttles stood a chance of getting away.

However, what came next left Finn dumbfounded. Below the Leviathan, where its tentacles were growing, a huge black hole opened, and the tentacles swiftly began to collect the debris of the surrounding warships, then directly ingested these wrecks into its body.

Finn was nonplussed for a moment, then immediately got in touch with Keller. After communicating with Keller, Finn instantly understood what the Leviathan was doing: it was replenishing the energy it had expended. It could directly digest all the wreckage within its body and convert it into energy. Not limited to just devouring the wrecks, it could even swallow asteroids and small planets.

As for the garbage post- digestion, it would naturally be expelled from the body. Damn, this thing can directly consume asteroids and metabolize the required energy; it is much easier to sustain than warships. And even if it doesn’t eat anything, it can still replenish its internal energy by absorbing any type of radiation from the cosmos.

Of course, these things cannot be excessive, as anything has a limit. If you were to throw it into a gamma-ray burst, that could destroy everything; nothing would be able to exist.

But even with that said, this is still impressive. The insect species had already begun to clean the battlefield, and under the supervision of the kingworm and the Leviathan, even if there were survivors, they had no chance of evading the insect units’ watch. But none of these mattered anymore, Finn had achieved his goal.

After giving a heads-up to Keller, asking him to take the Leviathan back to the Resource Galaxy, Finn severed his connection with the Leviathan.

Rochefort Clan

Gerald’s face was grim; this news was absolutely fatal for the Rochefort family, especially after reading the message that was sent back, Gerald immediately convened an emergency family meeting. Present were the powerful family Elders of the Rochefort Clan. As one of the nine royal families of the Galactic Federation, Gerald, the head of the Rochefort Clan, didn’t have the authority to decide most matters.

Of course, the advantages of being a direct heir still existed, but it didn’t mean others had no say. In fact, these Elders were also considered part of the direct heirs.

In the Galactic Federation, family direct heirs are not determined by birth but by appointment. Of course, birth is just one of the criteria. For instance, after Gerald has his children, no matter how many he has, he can only appoint up to three as direct heirs, regardless of gender.

The descendants of these three children can similarly appoint up to three of their own children as direct heirs. This way it is passed down from generation to generation, so by Suleiman’s generation, the number of direct heirs is already quite staggering. Of course, in between, many people have only one or two children.

But when Gerald passes on his head of the family title to one of his three children, the other two automatically lose their status as direct heirs.

Their descendants also automatically lose the status of direct heirs. Additionally, the family head can be passed down through skipping generations, such as Gerald passing it to a grandson or great-grandson of one of his sons, which would cause the elder of that generation to lose their direct heir status and join the Elder Council.
