The world watched in stunned silence as the terrifying spectacle unfolded over Mount Geneva.
At first, many assumed it was just a malfunction—a glitch from some video streaming service, making it look like a scene from a science fiction movie.
However, news quickly spread through official channels confirming the event was real—and happening in real-time.
As the visuals on the screen resembled something straight out of a high-budget sci-fi film, the global audience realized something incredible, humanity was on the verge of entering the space age.
In reality, extraterrestrial visitors had been observing Earth for ages, their technology far surpassing anything humankind could imagine.
Yet, Earth's technological backwardness had kept these invaders in hiding, reluctant to reveal themselves.
But now, the situation was shifting.
The arrival of Divine Drakebane had finally triggered a sense of urgency among these advanced alien civilizations.
Nearly every online observer was eager to find out if Divine Drakebane could take down the Steliaris Air Fleet, an enemy far stronger than the Purple Air Fleet he had already defeated—just as he had triumphed over the Curnow couple.
The attention of the world was once again fixated on the scene unfolding before them.
High above the Harmonfield area, on Mount Geneva, within ominous clouds at an altitude of 30,000 feet, the Steliaris Air Fleet revealed itself. It was as massive as an entire city.
The size of the craft was enough to send chills down one's spine. Its sheer presence dwarfed everything around it, making everything else seem insignificant—like mere dust in comparison.
The feeling it evoked was one of doom, the promise of total destruction, of life being wiped out, and the despair of falling into an endless void.
If the Steliaris warship truly attacked Earth, it was believed that everyone would be obliterated in an instant, their lives snuffed out like a candle flame, with no hope of survival.
Afterward, they would be lost in the vastness of space—forever adrift, with no refuge and no future.
As the initial shock wore off, the presidential envoy from Autreynia was the first to rush toward Robin.
"Mr. Ramsey, for the sake of humanity, please give them what they want!
"Return the chip they're asking for!
"Please, think carefully. Don't treat the lives of six billion people as trivial."
Robin slowly turned to face him, locking eyes with the envoy. "Are you telling me how to act?"
The envoy from Autreynia was caught off guard. "Mr. Drakebane, please don't misunderstand. I don't intend to give you orders, but you must consider the fate of Earth's people and make the right choice.
"Your decisions could either save humanity or lead to its total destruction."
Robin smiled coldly, his expression knowing. "And what if I refuse?"
The envoy from Autreynia clenched his fists in fury. "Y-you are a devil! You're reckless! You'll be the Earth's greatest sinner!"
In a sharp motion, Robin slapped the envoy across the face, sending him sprawling.
"You have no right to judge whether I'll be the Earth's greatest sinner!" Robin retorted, casually wiping his hand with a wet cloth, then tapping the blade of his saber thoughtfully.
"If you speak again, I'll take you down!" he warned. "Now, get out of my sight!
"These alien fools might seem powerful, but I don't believe they can actually destroy Earth!
"If they wanted to obliterate this planet, they would have done it already!"
The envoy from King of Tanqueria hesitated before trying again. "Mr. Drakebane, please release your obsession and face the truth. We cannot risk the survival of Earth's civilization!"
But Robin ignored him completely.
With a swift kick, he sent the six-foot-tall envoy from King of Tanqueria crashing to the ground.
"If anyone dares to speak again, I'll crush your skull underfoot!" he warned.
A heavy silence fell over the area in front of the Mount Geneva mansion.
"Hahahaha ... " A strange, mocking laugh echoed from the Steliaris warship.
"The King of Earth, Divine Drakebane, you truly live up to your reputation," the voice boomed.
"It seems the Curnow couple fell at your hands because they were simply too weak.
"Mr. Drakebane, I don't want to disturb your honeymoon, but if you return our chip, we'll leave immediately."
Robin lowered his saber, pointing it directly at the alien warship.
"You want the chip from me? Forget it!"
The moment Robin finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted from the skies.
The full shape of the Steliaris Air Fleet slowly emerged from the swirling clouds.
This colossal vessel loomed like a towering mountain, stretching high into the heavens.
Its immense size, if it fell, could destroy the entire Harmonfield area and beyond, leaving nothing but ruin in its wake.
At this point, the world's internet exploded in panic.
"Divine Drakebane, what are you doing? Are you really willing to risk the entire Earth for this?!
"Quick, hand over the chip. Don't drag us all down with you!"
"You cowards!" another group of netizens retorted. "The great Divine Drakebane never submits to a powerful enemy!"
