As a brawl was about to explode between Emperor Litch and the Cosmic Guards, the still-weakened Alex only shook his head on this sight.

A smile could also be discernable on his face, with his expression making it appear as if he was relieved by what he had seen.

He seemed to be reassured with the way things are going, even if all of his bodies were powerless now.

"Good. One of my contingencies against Emperor Litch is working. I just hope this will buy me more time..." Alex muttered. "Well, since the Cosmic Guards will be using a Star Mech, I bet they can give the Emperor a run for his money...

"If the Star Mech is inside the Four Moons World, then Emperor Litch can use the Laws to suppress it. But since it was just right outside the Four Moons World, no manipulation by Emperor Litch can weaken that mech...." Godlen Alex added as he let out a nod. "Hehehe, now his will be an interesting fight...

"Boom!"

It was at this moment that the Cosmic Guards began to make their move, which consisted of materializing a 60-foot humanoid mech above the Four Moons World.

This mech, which in all angles looked just like the normal robot used in animated shows, exuded a domineering pressure, creating waves of heat that melted nearby rocks.

Located on this mech’s chest was a small, red orb that was the size of a human. Pure heat and energy could be seen flowing out of the orb, which then circulated inside the mech’s body.

Like a heart pumping blood in a non-stop motion, this red orb did not stop on releasing energy and heat inside the mech, which are all absorbed by the mech itself.

Shula shula shula..."

Even with its small size, the mech appeared to be not weaker than Emperor LItch himself. In fact, the mech even seemed to have a stronger explosive power compared to the Emperor, something was rarely seen even in the past.

Lines of weapons could be seen mounted on the mech’s body , with each one displaying just the right amount of lethality for them to be considered to be dangerous. In fact, the weakest of these weapons appeared to have the power to decimate a planet, something that made Alex grin.

"I am not really versed well on the technology aspect of the Galactic Civilizations, but from what I know, they had the level of technology to emulate powerful beings. In this case, I can see that they managed to create a machine capable to fighting anyone that is not Transcendent..." Alex thought as he and Golden Alex felt the heat emanated by the mech. "Hm, should I try dabbling on engineering too? Maybe that will make me stronger in the long run..."

If Alex was impressed by what he saw, Emperor Lich was amazed too, and he did not bother to hide his feelings at all.

"Hahaha! Now this is what I call a piece of marvel! You guys... you actually figured out one of the requirements to be a powerhouse! Good job! I praise all of you!" The Emperor began to clap as he said these words, making himssound like an uncle praising his nephew’s new creation.

"According to many researchers, the power used by a Sixth Stage Beings has to be sustained by an abundant fuel source. That is not a problem for other power systems, since they have their own respective sources of fuel." The Emperor muttered to himself, with his attention now fully diverted away from Alex and Golden Alex.

"For me, the source of my Conqueror’s Aura comes from the devotion of my subjects and from the Laws of all the planets I conquered. For an Abyss Monster, their power shall come from the Abyss itself, while an Esper draws their power from their connection with a World Soul..."

"..."

"This fuel source is the disadvantage that makes it harder for you Cosmic Guards to fight against users of other power systems. Even if you have the technology to create deadly weapons, you still do not have the right amount of fuel to supply your weapons." The Emperor then tiled his head at this point, with his finger curling slightly in front of him. "But you have solved this problem now! By using a Star as the source of fuel, you were able to create a legitimate weapon against us! Hahaha, this is exciting!"

"Emperor, are you sure that you should be laughing right now? We have a legitimate powerhouse-killing weapon here, and we will not be shy to use it on you..." The speaker of the Cosmic Guard said with provocation, although he and his allies did not start their attack on the Emperor yet. "Emperor, didn’t you say that you will spank us once you finish counting? Where’s that spank now? It seems like you can’t even attack us..."

"Hoho, now you’re insulting me like that? I was just talking to you like an amicable housevowner. Even if you are all my enemies now, I still have the responsibility to greet you." Emperor Litch replied as he let out a wicked smile. "But don’t worry, an Emperor always chooses the right time to show his might, and now will be that time for me!"

"Boom!"

Before the Cosmic Guards could unleash their best weapon, a golden greatsword appeared above Emperor Litch, which the Emperor caught deftly with his right hand.

As this greatsword appeared, the whole Four Moons World began to shake again, with hymns of praises filling the heaves as a golden pillar of light fell on the golden greatsword.

Alex felt himself getting paralyzed from the appearance of this greatsword, something that made him chuckle wryly.

"Ah, it’s the Golden Tyrant Sword, a Half-Step Transcendent Artifact. You madman, you really had the gall to summon that weapon here..." Alex thought as he felt his thoughts starting to get sluggish. "You always kept that weapon hidden in your capital in order to protect that place from any attacks. Now you actually brought this here just to fight with us? Hehe, now this makes me more worried about fighting you later..."

"The will of all my subjects, dead or alive, are all preserved inside this sword. Their happiness, anger, desperation, and even savagery are crystallized on this sword’s blade...." The Emperor muttered in a trance as the sound of intense cheering could be heard all around him.

Out of nowhere, an illusory crowd of materialized behind the Emperor, with it containing what looked like to be limitless amount of people. Each people seemed to have formed a connection with the greatsword, which made the sword appear more regal.

"Do you hear those cheers? Those are all mu subjects wishing for my victory! Do you think I will let them down? No! For I am the Emperor, and I always win!"

"No! Officer Emerald, activate the retreat sequence! This mission is a bust! Abort! Abort! Abo-"

"Boom!"

Emperor LItch then slashed his greatsword at the direction of the Star Mech, creating a continent-sized golden blade that shot towards the Star Mech with unstoppable momentum.

The whole world roared in anger and anguish as the golden blade furiously paved its path, with the Laws of the world seemingly crying in pain as the golden blade tore through their bodies.

Nothing appeared to be able to stop the golden blade from moving, making it look like an unstoppable juggernaut ready to demolish everything on its path!

The reactions of the Laws made it appear as if the golden blade was something that can sever them entirely.

Not only that, but the way that the world reacted made it seem as if this golden blade can destroy these Laws too!

"The Golden Tyrant Sword. A Half-Step Transcendent Artifact forged from the body of a dead Half-Step Transcendent Conqueror. It gains its power from the subjects of its wielder, with more subjects equating to higher damage. It mainly deals with severing and damaging the Laws, making it a good weapon to use when a Conqueror is fighting outside his territory..." Golden Alex said after seeing the attack, with his voice sounding extremely glum.

"Tsk, and here I thought that this will be a good match. Since the Emperor brought the Golden Tyrant Sword, then it’s already game over for the Star Mech..." Alex thought in disappointment as he shook his head. "Even if the Star Mech is outside the Four Moons World, the attack that was just released by Emperor Litch can sever all Laws. As long this attack hits the Star Mech, its destruction is already assured."

"Boom!"

Sure enough, the Star Mech crumpled like paper in face of the Golden Tyrant Sword, with all of its abilities rendered useless.

The Star Mech’s armored casing, which was made up of the strongest metal in the universe, was just like tofu in face of the golden blade. The golden blade was able to nullify the miraculous hardness of this metal, allowing the blade to bisect the Star Mech into two halves.

All the weapons mounted on the Star Mech disintegrated after getting close to the golden blade, with their ’deadly’ blasts fizzling out like an extinguished candle.

As for the star contained inside the Star Mech, it was popped like a balloon by the golden blade, ending any chance for the Star Mech to make a comeback.

"..."

And with that, the fabled Star Mech, a weapon that was said to have the capacity to kill gods, was easily manhandled by Emperor Litch.

"No... How could this invincible weapon be easily destroyed? Its defensive prowess should be high!" That was the only thing that the speaker of the Cosmic Guards could say as they watched the destruction of their ace card. "This... this is not making sense!"

"Eh? That’s just one attack, and it’s already broken? Tsk, tsk, tsk, seems like someone from your department messed up with this robot..." Emperor Litch said in a neutral tone as the two halves of the Star Mech began falling down to the Four Moons World. "And here I thought that robot can make me have a warm-up. Seems like I just hyped myself up for nothing."

"!!!"

"Why are you all acting like you have seen a ghost? My sword just momentarily nullified all the Laws that made your Star Mech stronger. Even if that nullification just happened in an instant, it was still enough to destroy your robot." Emperor LItch suddenly said, as he seemed to have felt the confusion by the Cosmic Guards. "It’s just as simple as that. The support of my loyal subjects crushed your ’technological advancements’, and there’s nothing that you can do now to reverse this..."

"..."

"Hehehe, now Cosmic Guards, do you still think that my way of power is fake? If you still think that way, then let’s see if I can change your mind with another attack!"

"Boom!"

The Emperor then slashed the Golden Tyrant for the second time, creating the second golden blade which he purposely directed towards the mothership.

"If you want to survive this attack of mine, you can try dodging it. But well, with that large ship of yours, I think dodging is not an option anymore..."
