Naruto: Throne of the Holy Hand

"Star Emperor, do you think you can escape my attack?" Gavin's voice was cold, like a chilling wind. There was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, as if he had foreseen the scene of victory.

The Star Emperor smiled slightly, his eyes as deep as the stars, looking at Gavin without any concern. "Do you think your attack can hurt me? Try it."

Gavin's heart was shaken, anger and humiliation intertwined. He suddenly pressed the trigger of the energy cannon, and the hot energy beam cut through the night sky like lightning, heading straight for the Star Emperor. The surrounding air seemed to solidify at this moment, and all eyes were focused on this dazzling light.

However, the Star Emperor did not dodge at all. He clenched his fists, and his body was as tall as a mountain, fearlessly facing Gavin's attack. Just as the energy cannon was about to hit him, the Star Emperor swung his fist suddenly, like a meteor across the night sky, directly shattering the energy beam and bursting into a dazzling light.

"What!" Gavin opened his eyes wide in shock, unable to believe what he saw. His protective suit was not damaged at all, but the shock in his heart was like a heavy object hitting him, almost suffocating him.

"Is this all your strength?" Star Emperor said coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "ridiculous."

"You..." Gavin's voice became trembling, anger and humiliation intertwined. He gritted his teeth, and a stronger fighting spirit ignited in his heart, "I won't give up!"

"Give up, Gavin." The Star Emperor's voice was like a deep thunder, with irrefutable majesty, "You can't compete with me at all."

Gavin was furious. He had never been looked down upon before. His eyes flashed with madness. He gritted his teeth and responded angrily, "I will never give in! You self-righteous guy!"

As the words fell, Gavin mobilized his energy again, preparing to launch the next round of attacks. Behind him, several companions watched all this silently from a distance, their hearts filled with tension and expectation. Gavin was their hope, but now he seemed to be in a desperate situation.

"Gavin, calm down!" a companion shouted anxiously, "Don't let your emotions control you!"

"Shut up!" Gavin roared, with crazy fire flashing in his eyes, "I don't need your advice!"

Emperor Xingchen shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. "The angrier you are, the more you lose your mind. Strength is not everything. Wisdom and calmness are the keys to victory."

"You're right, but I won't give you another chance!" Gavin roared, and finally adjusted the energy cannon's energy to the limit. The air around him seemed to be trembling, and the energy fluctuations surged like waves.

"Come on, I'll wait." The Star Emperor's voice was still calm, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all.

Gavin roared, as if he wanted to turn all his anger into strength. He pressed the trigger again, and the energy cannon released a dazzling light, rushing straight towards the Star Emperor. This time, the light was even more blazing, as if it was going to ignite the entire night sky.

"This is your last chance." The Star Emperor's voice was still like a whisper in the wind, unconcerned. He swung his fist again, heading towards the light.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the whole world seemed to shake at this moment. The explosion of energy swept over, tearing the surrounding air apart, and the dust flew. The deafening sound made it almost impossible to think.

Gavin's body was pushed back by the huge impact, and he fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his chest, as if all his strength had been drained away. His companions around him were stunned, unable to believe the scene before their eyes.

"This...how is this possible!" Gavin raised his head with difficulty and looked at the Star Emperor with a dull look, his heart filled with fear and unwillingness.

The Star Emperor slowly approached, his eyes as deep as the abyss, with ruthless pressure. "Gavin, your strength is not enough to compete with me. It's time to accept reality."

"I... I won't lose!" Gavin struggled desperately, trying to stand up, but his body was too weak to resist. His voice was filled with despair and anger, "I won't let you succeed!"

"You've already lost." The Star Emperor leaned over, looked directly at Gavin, and said with a hint of sympathy, "Let go of your obsession, maybe you still have a chance of survival."

Gavin's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was filled with anger and unwillingness. His voice was trembling, as if he wanted to vent all his emotions: "I don't want to give up! I can't give up!"

"Don't you understand?" The Star Emperor's voice was low and powerful. "Giving up is not cowardice, but for a better future. Your obsession will only make you fall into deeper despair."

Gavin's heart was shaken, as if he was struck by the words of the Star Emperor. His heart began to waver, but the unwillingness made him unable to let go. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up, even though the pain in his body surged like a tide.

"I...I will definitely become stronger!" Gavin's voice was firm and powerful, as if he wanted to turn all his determination into strength, "I won't let you defeat me easily!"

"Being strong is not just about being impulsive." The Star Emperor's voice remained calm, with a hint of understanding in his eyes, "If you are willing, I can teach you how to become truly strong."

Gavin was stunned, and the anger and despair in his heart began to waver. He looked at the Star Emperor, as if thinking about the possibility of this proposal. His companions around him also began to whisper, their eyes full of doubts and expectations.

"You...are you really willing to teach me?" Gavin's voice lowered, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his desperate heart. He widened his eyes and stared at the man in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief and excitement.

"If you are willing to let go of your pride and learn to be calm and wise, I will be your mentor." The voice of the Star Emperor was like the stars in the night sky, revealing a hint of warmth.

A complex emotion surged in Gavin's heart, and he knew that this was a turning point. He began to struggle, and anger and despair were gradually replaced by hope.

"I...I am willing." Gavin finally said, his voice firm and clear, "I am willing to learn and become stronger!"

"I promise you that I will never let them get hurt." The Star Emperor's voice was low and powerful, as if he wanted to engrave this promise in everyone's heart.

Ella nodded slightly. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she could feel the determination of the Star Emperor. "Can you really do it? Their safety is related to our future." Ella's voice was trembling, and her eyes were flickering with anxiety.

"I won't let anyone hurt them." Star Emperor approached Ella, his eyes revealing a firm belief, "I will protect them personally until this matter is resolved."

At this moment, Leia pushed the door open with a hurried look on her face. Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on the Star Emperor, as if she wanted to pour out all the troubles in her heart.

"Star Emperor!" Leah almost rushed to him, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath, then took the initiative to step forward and gently kissed Star Emperor on the lips. At that moment, the air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone was stunned.

"Leah, you..." The Star Emperor was a little surprised, with a hint of confusion on his face.

"I've encountered a problem." Leah said anxiously, with helplessness in her tone, "I heard something outside about our plan. It seems that someone is secretly monitoring us."

"Surveillance? Who?" Ella raised her voice and her uneasiness intensified.

"I don't know, but I heard someone mention the 'Dark Alliance'." Leia's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that the name frightened her. "They seem to know everything we do."

The Star Emperor's expression suddenly turned serious. He slowly clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. "Dark Alliance? How dare they interfere in our affairs!"

"We must take action," Ella interrupted, her tone firm, "We can't let them have the chance to threaten us."

"I will send someone to investigate." The Star Emperor's tone became decisive, "But before that, we must remain vigilant. Leah, can you tell me more about what you heard?"

Leah nodded, trying to calm herself down. "I ran into an old friend at the market, and he mentioned that someone was looking for us recently, specifically about your research results."

"This is too dangerous." Ella frowned, obviously shocked by the news. "We must be extra careful and not let anyone know our plan."

"I will increase security." Star Emperor added, his eyes showing a hint of determination, "No matter what the Dark Alliance wants, we can't let them succeed."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open suddenly. A burly man rushed in with a pale face, obviously having just experienced a fierce conflict.

"Xingchen Emperor! The situation is not good!" The man panted, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. "Our sentinels on the periphery were attacked, and the Dark Alliance has infiltrated!"

"What?" The Star Emperor's face changed, and he turned to Ella and Leah in an instant, "We must evacuate immediately and go to a safe place."

"But our information..." Ella said anxiously.

"The information can be retrieved, but your safety comes first!" There was unquestionable majesty in the Star Emperor's voice.

Leia's heart tightened, and her eyes wandered between the Star Emperor and Ella. Finally, she mustered up the courage and said, "I can stay and cover your evacuation."

"Are you crazy?" Ella exclaimed, "How can you stay here alone? It's too dangerous!"

"I know what I'm doing." Leah's eyes were firm. "I will find a way to delay them and buy you some time."

"I can't let you take this risk!" Star Emperor said in a deep voice, his tone full of concern and uneasiness.

"This is my choice, Star Emperor." Leia's voice was low and powerful, "I will not let you get hurt. If I can buy you a little time, that's what I can do."

A complex emotion surged in the heart of the Star Emperor. He knew Leia's determination, but at the same time he couldn't calm his worries. "Okay, but you must be careful and never let yourself get hurt!"

"I will." Leah smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes, "You must survive and complete our plan."

Ella silently shed tears, her heart filled with helplessness and pain. "We will come back, Leah, we will definitely come back!"

"Leah," the Star Emperor's voice was like a low thunder, interrupting her thoughts, "What are you thinking about?"

Leia turned around, her eyes firm but with a hint of fragility, "I wonder if there is still hope for my mission? The power of the Space Agent Organization is too strong, they will not let me go easily."

"The Space Agent Organization is nothing but trash in my eyes." The Star Emperor's tone was filled with unquestionable majesty. "I will help you, Leah. As long as you are willing to believe in me."

Leia trembled slightly, with a mixture of trust and suspicion towards the Star Emperor in her heart. She knew that this powerful ruler was not a good person, but she knew even more clearly that she had no way out.

"Can you really help me?" Leah's voice was low, with an uneasy gleam in her eyes.

"Not only can I help you, but I can also make you a stronger person." The Star Emperor approached her, his eyes as hot as flames, "As long as you are willing to accept my power."

Leia bit her lip, hesitant in her heart. She knew that accepting the help of the Star Emperor meant paying a price, but was she ready to pay everything for it?
