Chapter 67: Odyssey: Bait
"Bang!" The ice shattered, Blue Feather, Blue Ice, and Lynn fell into the dark pools of space. An extraordinarily bright star was pulled in from afar, and the dark waterhole of space turned into a bright starry sky.

The world of Odyssey is ruled by the Demacian Empire, the supreme authority in the known universe, an empire whose power, influence, and technological prowess are unmatched.
With the absolute military superiority of the Empire, there are no more wars in the galaxy. Under the prestige of the Emperor, the military forces led by cardinal generals and great generals maintained absolute control.
It's just that the universe is still very, very vast. As a result, it is filled with all kinds of strange forces, such as rebels, cult leaders, crime syndicates from the edge planet, and various star thieves.
In addition to the Empire, the largest forces in the Odyssey universe are as follows:
Syndicate Crime Group: A hodgepodge of star thieves, smugglers, human traffickers, mercenaries, and more.
Paladins obsessed with the Anoon: Believe that they are the true "guardians" of the Ano, that they know the substance better than anyone else, and that they want to protect the Ano from being misused by other forces.
Hate the Empire, the saboteurs who are currently hiding - like Acacia under Shurima.
So, even if the empire is large enough and military to overshadow any other power, sabotage and subversion will always be at odds.
The problem lies in the arcane energy, which comes from a giant beast that can travel the stars. Like liquid gold, this substance is a huge, almost magical source of energy. Aoneng is a precious material, Aoneng is a surging energy, Aoneng is the perfect gene enhancement liquid, Aoneng is ............
Therefore, as long as you succeed in controlling the Arcane, you have great influence - and the rise of the empire is the source of the Arcanon.
Because of this, the Empire must suppress all those who resist, and it must also hold all the arcane powers in its hands.
As a result, controlling marginal behavior and maintaining order is a never-ending struggle. Keeping the Ao Neng in the rightful grip of the Empire is also an endless battle.
It is a serious violation of the law to use the Arcans without permission, and paladins who are obsessed with the paladin community often do this kind of thing.
But the Empire firmly rules the entire galaxy through a vast fleet of heavy nuclear weapons, and controls the way to mine, distribute, and use arcane energy.
These heavy nuclear warships have an array of light-collapsing weapons, a curvature-driven propulsion system (fly-fire propulsion), and a small number of carrier aircraft and marines.
The light-collapsing weapon is a powerful weapon, a combination of plasma and laser weapons, which kills targets by attacking electrons that surround the nucleus.
Here's how it works: Photons and electrons can be converted into each other under certain circumstances, such as the photoelectric effect. The light collapse weapon uses the nearly infinite energy of the Ao Neng to turn the electrons in the matter that constitutes the target into an excited state, generating a large number of high-energy photons to kill the target.
This weapon was mass-produced, from the main guns of capital ships to pistols, all of which applied the principle of light collapse.
At this point, the space battleship they had obtained from the previous world had been activated:
【Dark Star Activation—Deep Space Voyage Mode】
A 2,630-meter-long and 389-meter-wide giant battleship has appeared in the world of Odyssey. Its prototype was the battleship Musashi.
In the world of Odyssey, it also had the advantage of the Musashi over the battleships of the same period - an overwhelming advantage.
The reason why it has an overwhelming advantage is that the main gun of the Dark Star, nine air cannons.
The air cannon, as the name suggests, is the main cannon that draws energy from space to launch an attack. The theoretical basis is the quantum fluctuation phenomenon:
The gravitational pull of matter or energy itself has negative energy (always hindering the movement of objects). But energy and mass are equivalent, and this energy creates a gravitational field, and the negative energy of gravity cancels out the positive energy corresponding to matter (or energy itself), so that the whole system does not appear to have more energy, and does not violate the law of conservation of energy.
The Air Cannon is an order of magnitude more powerful than the Light Cannon and ignores conventional shields, acting directly on the hull.
Similarly, the tonnage of the Dark Star is almost twice that of the latest capital ships of the heavy nuclear fleet, and the thickness of the armor and shield strength are more than double that of the latest capital ships......
and, the Yamato gun, which can instantly inflict heavy damage on a heavy nuclear warship.
Their flagship will make them the strongest side in the next episode.
"Decoy" tells the main plot of the Odyssey world: the cardinal general Cain of the Emperor Gavin IV receives a message about the mysterious scythe Raaste on the planet Ionan.
The message was sent by Najuri, the commander of the Empire squad on the capital ship, on the capital ship. After receiving the signal, Cain led another capital ship, the Shattered Scissors, to investigate.
On Ionan, there is also the group of paladins who came earlier, and the Holy Messenger Sana is among them. But it's been captured by the Empire.
and another force, syndicated criminal gangs. 、
They were all called here by Raaste to assist it in a test of who was fit for the flesh.
Raast induces a scramble among everyone present, forcing his chosen Cain to pick him up. Raast then corrupted Cain, turning the once loyal general into an arrogant careerist bent on overthrowing the Empire and replacing it with more arcane powers.
Raast also made a lie to Cain to find Sana, who was later accidentally rescued by Yasuo's brother Yon, and let her open the door to the arcane power and obtain endless arcane power.
But behind the Gate of Arcanon is not endless Arcana at all, but a terrifying dark star universe. It is also the hometown of Rayaste.
Its essence is none other than a death omen, a kind of sapient black hole that longs to devour the universe to satisfy its hunger.
The rest of the story is the story of the crew of the Morningstar protecting Sana and fighting with Kaiyin.
At this moment, Lan Yu heard a vague call from the depths of the universe, and this call gave him a sense of mission. I feel that endless opportunities await me in the starry sky.
It could be his own feelings, it could be Raaste's demagogy, or both.
At this time. On the ceremonial table of the conning tower, microscopic stars and miniature black holes are still dancing psychedelic dances.
Blue Feather leaned over to take a closer look, as if he saw a singularity hidden under the event horizon.
He decides to get involved in the chaos of Ionan, but he needs a little preparation.
The biggest problem is that on the Imperial side, the Darkstar can defeat both Nagiri and Kaiin's capital ships, but it can't do it quickly.
As soon as the battle is too long, the heavy nuclear fleet will swarm. The team needs to divert an opponent's capital ship, Nagiuri's capital ship is already there, then this capital ship can only be Kai Yin's Shattered Scissors.
The plan was simple, and Cain's motivation for spying on Ionan was the discovery of an unknown phenomenon that could lead to a major breakthrough. But what if there was something more important?
Like a mysterious battleship? And what it indicates, a possible invasion from another powerful civilization?
The trio devised a plan to launch a controlled attack to destroy an outpost of the Empire, allowing only a small amount of news to get the Empire's attention.
