Only when the mission is completely failed can information be launched with such intensity.

The standard for complete mission failure is very simple: all nine administrators dead, colonists completely out of control, and the Tracer and the "Net" also at risk of collapse.

Now is that moment.

Barton Augustus bitterly asked, "Which plan are we adopting?"

Ma Zhongfei: "The third one."

Everyone fell back into silence. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The so-called third plan is the plan for complete failure.

It means they will not mention Pilgrim in the final transmission, nor will they reference the malfunction and repair of the "Net," nor the Imperial Apostle, pretending to remain completely ignorant and deceived by Pilgrim.

The Imperial Apostle meant to contact them has fallen on Source Star due to the "Net."

They highlighted the failure in focusing on the sudden appearance of Divine Level Mind Demons at the last moment.

Thus, their failure would only be due to insufficient ability to combat the Divine Level Mind Demons, rather than their own stupidity messing things up.

This type of message assumes that while the Apostle is yet to be controlled, there is absolutely no chance for a comeback.

They fully accepted their failure, only wanting to fail with less disgrace.

Ma Zhongfei sighed, drawing a high-energy pistol and said, "Luckily the Apostle hasn't completed the authenticator for the Tracer. In some sense, we're fortunate we didn't let him take over the 'Net's' permissions, nor repair its communication features. Otherwise, I couldn't have faked the final message."

Ying Feng, also aiming the gun at his head, nodded: "Yes, at least we can pretend we never contacted the Apostle."

Fidina Locke, trembling, placed the gun in her mouth and mumbled: "Do you think, is there any chance the Apostle could turn the tides?"

Ma Zhongfei whimpered: "No chance. Such powerful Mind Demons will not give him any opportunity. This must be a somewhat decent complete failure."

"Hmm."

Boom!

Finally, a corner of the hall was blasted open.

Simultaneously, nine heads completely exploded.

A total of ten sounds mixed together, making them nearly indistinguishable.

Terrifying heat was suddenly released in the hall, like nine burning suns expanding from the hollow necks, turning their bodies into ashes.

Nine "Creators" of Source Star civilization, nine administrators from the Mechanical Empire's C-level colonization team, chose a less than honorable way to sacrifice themselves.

A massive information flow erupted from the Tracker Spaceship like a black hole explosion, spreading in all directions, breaking through the interference barrage stacked by the information turbulence, and the plasma layer at Source Sun's planetary system edge, rushing towards the depths of the universe, towards the depths of the Elliptical Star System.

Almost simultaneously, Sun Ai's voice echoed in Ren Zhong's mind.

"It worked, they said what you wanted them to say."

Standing on the surface of the Tracker, Ren Zhong exhaled deeply, looking up at the distant starry sky above.

It was an endless dark universe, with only infinitely tiny light stubbornly and resiliently shining through.

Ren Zhong thought about the orbital plane of this Elliptical Star System, silently pondering, "When I was a child, I used to think the stars in the sky were flying fireflies. Later, I learned they were stars. Later, I realized these are not just stars but potentially galaxies larger than the Milky Way. Behind that tiny dot of light might be countless stars with countless race and civilization stories. I wonder which of those tiny dots is the Virgo Supercluster? Where is my Milky Way?"

As he whispered in his mind, his peripheral vision caught sight of another extremely scorching light.

He slightly turned his face away, simultaneously activating the armor's Energy Shield.

No need to look, he knew that the 0001 warship had transformed into a small sun nearby.

The compressed tri-phase thermal nuclear bomb hidden in the 0001 warehouse was releasing its once-in-a-lifetime terrifying heat.

Ren Zhong's "friend," a life entity possibly unique in the universe accompanying him all along, though not a Mind Demon yet more like a devil, Li Yang, was basking in the flames.

He did not even have time to ask his final question in life before falling down so humbly.
