Colonial Suit

Quietly gazing at the blood pupils, Lesterro revealed a satisfied expression.

In fact, this war tested Blood瞳's command ability, followed by his strategy and ability to break the situation.

Command ability, especially the command ability in large-scale wars, is not something everyone possesses. And being a king doesn't necessarily require it. So Lesterro was just taking a chance. But strategy and breaking the situation are different; they are related to the future of a race.

Obviously, Blood瞳, who came from the apocalypse, doesn't excel in strategy, but breaking the situation...

Blood瞳 possesses a situation-breaking ability that even Lesterro is surprised by.

He possesses the keenest intuition, an extremely strong overall view of the battlefield, and outstanding adaptability and combat ability. When combined, they form his unique fighting style. Lesterro doesn't know how Blood瞳 does it, but the combination makes him seem to see a newborn king budding.

Because only he knows that in the three areas he masters—command, strategy, and breaking the situation—breaking the situation is the most important. A king can lack command ability and may not be good at strategy, but breaking the situation is essential. Because command and strategy can be handled by subordinates, but breaking the situation determines the rise and fall of a race.

The rise of any race is bound to experience endless challenges and hardships, and countless conspiracies and persecutions. To deal with these, the ability to break the situation is indispensable. In fact, the reason why Crodir was able to dominate the universe in the past is that every king was outstanding and possessed one or more unique talents.

Lesterro is responsible for examining this part of the talent and staying in this ruin. It can also be said that he is the most important person in this ruin.

Because what he examines is not the strength of the trial-taker, but whether he has the qualifications of a king.

In fact, in the history of Crodir, the most outstanding was the second king, who opened the era of Crodir's great conquest and extended Crodir's footsteps to the universe. At that time, Crodir was only a second-rate civilization, and it had not even occupied a complete star field in the universe. But under his leadership, it tore apart the starry sky, thus opening up enough space for development in just a hundred years. It was precisely because of this king's accumulation that Crodir was able to gallop all the way in later years, spreading its reputation throughout the universe.

This king's qualification was breaking the situation.

He was the weakest king in Crodir's history because he possessed almost no individual combat power. But he was also the strongest king in Crodir's history because he realized the dream of the Crodir people: to obtain a place in the sun.

Silently watching Blood瞳, Lesterro suddenly felt a trace of excitement in his heart. How many years has it been? Since the second king left, they have never had a king who could break the situation. Generations of Crodir conquerors grew old and died in battle. Their blood was spilled in the distant starry sky. Crodir gradually became stronger, but lost its direction of advancement, and eventually was destroyed by the combined attacks of the universe's races.

Lesterro doesn't know why the powerful Crodir would end up like this, but he knows that if the second king were here, then the ending would definitely be rewritten.

That is the true king, the warrior against fate.

Lesterro thought silently, walking towards Blood瞳 little by little. His steps were not fast, but the gaze he cast on Blood瞳 became gentler and warmer.

Finally, he stopped in front of Blood瞳.

"You won."

Lesterro said slowly, his gaze falling on Blood瞳's face, and he asked softly, "Can you tell me how you discovered it?"

"I can't," Blood瞳 said after a moment of silence, answering in a deep voice. "I just suddenly understood something."

"Suddenly understood?" Lesterro smiled, first a faint smile, then gradually enlarging, and finally laughing loudly.

He patted Blood瞳's shoulder with his withered palm, nodding vigorously. "Well thought!"

"............" Blood瞳 lowered his head. He was a little unaccustomed to Lesterro's enthusiasm, but for some reason, he was a little unwilling to refuse in his heart.

Perhaps it was because the bloodline of Crodir was at work, Blood瞳 thought silently.

Then he raised his head and asked seriously, "So, Lord Lesterro, have I passed your test?"

"Of course. Why not?" Lesterro replied with a smile, while glancing at the exclusive warrior behind Blood瞳. "You are more outstanding than I imagined. I really can't find a reason not to let you pass. Now you can leave. After you go out, a new passage will open for you. That guy at the Third Altar is probably getting impatient."

"............" Blood瞳 was silent again. After a while, he nodded and respectfully saluted Lesterro. "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

"I didn't teach you anything, because I am also a pawn," Lesterro replied. Then, after pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, did you feel any inexplicable existence during this test?"

"Inexplicable existence?" Blood瞳 was stunned, then shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about, sir."

"I mean..." Lesterro was about to ask again, but after thinking about it, he just waved his hand. "Forget it... maybe I'm overthinking it. Being able to break the situation is already an outstanding qualification, so how could you come into contact with that thing?"

Saying that, he turned his head and never looked at Blood瞳 again. At the same time, somewhere in the plain, a black space tunnel quickly appeared, opening its door to Blood瞳.

Blood瞳 took one last look at Lesterro before walking into the tunnel with his companion...

The tunnel twisted a few times and quickly disappeared without a trace. Only then did Lesterro turn around and glance at the direction where the tunnel disappeared, his gaze complex.

The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"Sir, why didn't you ask him about the pawn?" A war servant said behind Lesterro. "Perhaps that is exactly what you have been searching for."

"There's no need," Lesterro turned his head and glanced at the war servant, answering softly. "If I were seven thousand years younger, I would definitely ask him clearly. But now, even if I ask clearly, what's the point? Our civilization has been destroyed. Even if I can find the power to fight against fate, I can't change this reality."

"But sir..." The war servant became a little anxious. "Even if it can't change anything, but for you..."

Lesterro waved his hand, stopping the war servant's words.

"I am already old, staying in this cold ruin, every day is a torment. I touched fate, understood fate, and should eventually die by fate. I once regarded everything as pawns, but I never thought that I had never stepped out of that chessboard. This is my fate, and I cannot resist it."

"But sir, this time you didn't lose. In fact, here you still have endless pawns. Everyone on this planet is willing to offer you their full strength. Why do you have to restrain your strength?" The war servant argued again, his eyes full of unwillingness.

But Lesterro didn't even look at him, still staring at the distant horizon, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"I have done my best. It is my luck to meet him before I die. You must remember that the reason I stay here is not to create difficulties for the trial-takers who come here, but to discover their qualifications and find a new king for our race."

"Now that I have completed this mission, aren't you happy for me?"

Saying that, Lesterro laughed, so happily and so proudly.

In his eyes, he seemed to see Crodir rise again, finding its own paradise in the universe.
