Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 83 Event Effects
"Sir Carter, do we really want to do this..." the technical staff asked anxiously.

"What else can you do if you don't do this? Do you want to continue to stay in this bullshit empire and die for the aloof Emperor?"

More than a year has passed, and Sir Carter has become much more haggard. The ghost ship incident has caused irreparable breaks in his power career, as if he had been hit directly by a dump truck.

In the past year or so, he has suffered many administrative penalties from the Danube Empire, including demotion, deprivation of power, seizure of titles, and imprisonment. He has transformed from a high-ranking imperial knight to a prisoner.

His fleet command was also stripped and transferred to others.

Later, Sir Carter's fleet was ordered by the imperial government to immediately return to the system where the imperial capital star was located to undergo rectification.

Sir Carter knew very well that the mistake he committed was a serious crime that could not be pardoned, so he was originally willing to accept all punishments from the empire, and was even willing to die on the spot to wash away his guilt.

But while his fleet was sailing back to the imperial capital, he received unexpected news.

His family, including the family behind him, originally stayed safely in the capital of the empire, but because of his affairs, they were implicated and the emperor of the Danube Empire personally ordered the entire family to be strangled.

According to imperial laws and past customs, any mistakes made by political nobles in politics will not harm their relatives and family members. The emperor's move is undoubtedly ignoring this rule.

After hearing the news, Sir Carter felt like he was struck by lightning, and he was immediately indignant. Even though he had become a prisoner of his subordinates, when he was in charge of the fleet in the past, he established his prestige and accumulated many close subordinates in the fleet command system. He still maintained some command over the entire fleet.

Through this relationship, Sir Carter used the fleet communication system to launch a protest to the Imperial Capital Star, strongly condemning the Emperor's unruly behavior.

Unexpectedly, the current Danube Empire was not interested in his protest at all. The emperor was even angry at Sir Carter for provoking an unknown powerful enemy for the empire, and he was still able to instigate orders after seeing that the enemy had been reduced to a prisoner. The fleet sent a statement of protest to the Empire's capital star and became even more furious.

Sir Carter has been branded as an eternal sinner within the Danube Empire. His behavior in the ghost ship incident offended a group of powerful people headed by the emperor.

The public anger is hard to offend, and the powerful people have demanded that Sir Carter be punished severely. The normal punishment originally given was to escort him back to the capital of the empire and directly execute him.

Execution of powerful people was a rare event in the Danube Empire, a partial feudal power system with the power of the emperor as the core and the power of the nobility as the lower hub.

But after something like this happened, it was obviously not enough to just execute Sir Carter, a mere powerful person, in order to calm the anger of other powerful people and the emperor himself.

Behind every political dignitary there is a deep-rooted and powerful family as the fundamental support.

Therefore, in order to quell the public anger, Sir Carter's family was in bad luck. The angry dignitaries showed no mercy and used all their strength to strangle him. All relatives and family members were not spared.

The emperor of the Danube Empire was extremely satisfied with the results of this process.

But no matter how bloody the punishment was, it could not change the cruel status quo. Under the threat of unknown advanced civilization, the powerful and senior officials showed their weakness and incompetence, and they still fell into deep fear.

But when they heard that Sir Carter's fleet had sent a statement of protest to the capital star of the empire, the dignitaries became furious again. They all advised that there was no need to escort Sir Carter back to the capital star. Before the fleet returned to the capital star, Immediately execute him, just send the execution image back to the capital star.

The Emperor adopted this suggestion and sent the relevant orders to Sir Carter's fleet.

What happened next was amazing.

After Sir Carter's fleet experienced a series of complex events involving power seizure, betrayal, internal fratricide, and restoration of authority, Sir Carter, who was originally a prisoner of his subordinates, once again took command of the fleet.After that, he took the fleet to change direction, no longer sailing to the capital star of the empire, but planned to sail in the opposite direction to an aerospace civilization under the command of the Order of Justice that bordered the Danube Empire.

Sir Carter intends to take this fleet to defect to the enemies of the past empire, and other Danubian Empire soldiers in the fleet do not object to this action.

Because they knew very well that the mistake Sir Carter made in the ghost ship incident was actually the mistake of their entire fleet.

Now that Sir Carter's family has been uprooted within the empire, it won't be long before the family behind them may also suffer.

The real time it takes for their fleet to sail back to the capital star of the empire from the Sakaban system is several decades. This time span is too long, and no one can predict what changes will occur within the empire during this period.

The harshness of the imperial system is obvious to all citizens of the empire.

No one wants to have stationed in the frontier star system for the empire for decades, and then traveled all the way back to the capital star of the empire across decades of interstellar journeys, only to have their precious lives ruthlessly lost by the imperial system.

In this way, Sir Carter led the fleet and set off directly without any worries to join the space civilization closest to the Sakaban galaxy.

……

"Bastards, a bunch of disloyal traitors!"

"Carter, you damn traitor, you are not worthy of commanding the empire's fleet, let alone the power that only nobles can hold!"

The movements of Sir Carter's fleet were quickly transmitted back to the empire's capital star. When the emperor of the Danube Empire learned of the other party's whereabouts, his eyes were split and he cursed.

The many negative impacts brought by the ghost ship incident to the powerful class of the Danube Empire have not completely dissipated. Then something like this happened again. The emperor felt that his head was getting bigger and the pressure on his body was a little higher.

As an interstellar civilization that implements an imperial system of government and controls a vast territory of fifty light years, due to the lack of space technology, the power held by the powerful elite within the Danube Empire has been relatively large for a long time.

Although the emperor's power is not small, he cannot extend his power to every galaxy within his jurisdiction at any time.

After all, the light-year distance between galaxies is like a ravine that seriously hinders the passage of the emperor's power among the stars.

In normal times, the emperor's power must rely on the powerful people below as a link to achieve stable rule over other galaxies within the empire's territory except the capital galaxy.

The emperor controls the capital galaxy and colonizes other galaxies through the rule of the powerful, which extends like a spider web. Relying on the operation of this power system, they are able to establish a stable unified resource allocation system among the stars, thus continuously developing themselves. civilization.

This was not a problem originally, but now the emergence of the ghost ship incident has caused vague cracks in this originally stable power system.

The powerful people were panic-stricken because of this incident. They were not interested in the development of the empire, and began to worry about their own safety and future.

This is a huge hidden danger that must be resolved as soon as possible. If it is not resolved and the powerful people continue to panic, the empire's power system will soon slowly fall apart over time.
