From star abyss

"Damn it, you won't get any spoils from this fight!"

Gio Skua complained.

Although the action efficiency was higher than expected, he always felt a little strange.

There are at least tens of thousands of knights in the Kingdom Council, and there are at least tens of thousands of people left, but now there is not even a shadow to be seen.

The soldiers of the empire excitedly boarded the shore, took horses and vehicles, and headed towards the city. As they passed each gathering point, they were caught off guard by the deserted villages and towns.

"Captain, there seems to be no one here."

"The food and well water are all good. They have been checked and are not toxic."

"It's not a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the field. Not even a field mouse can be seen."

At first, people thought that the villagers had given up resistance and fled into the towns, so they launched a large army and invaded the big cities.

But facing the still empty streets, leaving only a dead silence, the soldiers of the empire were completely confused.

They didn't know what to do at all, it was like punching out and hitting the cotton, the power was completely absorbed, and they didn't know what to do at this moment.

Especially their top group, Gio Skua, faced with this situation, felt a sense of absurdity.

But the instinct developed through years of fighting made him feel that things were not that simple.

Gio Skua walked through the city streets, taking in his surroundings carefully. Soon he came to the same conclusion as Leos:

"Life is extinct..."

Gio Skua groaned, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. He had no choice but to let his men take over the town first.

The soldiers of the empire took over the city's facilities in confusion and excitement, but under the strict requirements of the church, they did not touch the civilian property, but only opened the local lord's storage. After judging that it was not poisonous, they started to enjoy it.

A full day passed without any problems.

Gio Skua couldn't help but doubt himself:

"Am I neurotic?"

Speaking of which, that guy Leoz didn't reply either. Where is he?

The more Gio Skua thought about it, the stranger he became. Ever since the landing operation began, whether it was Melissa who suddenly committed suicide, the empty town, or Leos who disappeared, everything had become extremely strange.

What's even more troublesome is that even after searching the last land, he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the 'seed'.

After a long time, the two of them set up a church in a hurry, and accompanied the mortals to stage an uprising and build a country. Apart from helping the locals unify the empire, the purpose of his trip was not achieved at all.

It’s simply poverty alleviation…

Gio Skua was very vigilant. He sat in Hailanzhu Province for five whole days and did not miss any information, but there was no change at all.

The erosion of the void seemed to have stopped.

The entire Dragon Satellite was like falling into amber, completely stagnant, and it seemed that it would not change even after millions of years.

On the sixth day, Gio Skua was still sitting in Hailanzhu Province. The whole day was calm and nothing happened.

He sits at the main seat of the divine temple, meditating and recuperating. For gods on the path of [Destruction], this can be understood as the sleep hibernation of mortals, which can accelerate the repair of body tissues, maintain porcelain skin, and make them more capable. Resistant to corrosion and radiation effects.

Gio Skua is a god who loves beauty, and he takes good care of his porcelain body.

After a round of recuperation, Gio Skua stood up from the ground and looked up at the sky. The bright sun was still hanging in the sky.

‘Another day has passed. I don't have much time. ’

Gio Skua was a little helpless. He stood up and moved outside the door, preparing to continue searching for information about the seeds.

But then, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.

When He opened the palace door - what appeared in front of him was a prosperous technological metropolis!

Neon lights flashed, airships shuttled, maglev railways circled the city, and Internet celebrities strolled through the streets holding selfie sticks, wearing hot and bold clothes, which was completely unlike the posture that the Dragon Guard Empire under the theocracy should have.

"……WTF?"

Gio Skua retreated and closed the door. For a moment, his brain was greatly shocked.

"Is it an illusion? It must be an illusion. That kind of time span is at least a thousand years!"

He comforted himself and opened the door again.

The next moment, a gorgeous purple mushroom cloud bloomed on the ground not far in front of His palace.

"……ah?"

The ripples on Gio Skua's face jumped into a straight line, and it took him a while to react.

He quickly retreated into the house and waited a few minutes before opening the door again.

The next moment, what appeared in front of him was the earth made of alloy. The cold sky suddenly flickered, and an interstellar fighter plane jumped into the atmosphere. Those extremely anti-aerodynamic structures landed smoothly in front of him under the anti-gravity technology.

The spaceship slowly opened, releasing the light-cast stairs. Two humanoid figures made of synthetic materials slowly walked down and bowed their heads in salute to Gio Skua:

"Welcome to your awakening, Your Majesty Gio Skua. The Dragon Satellite Federation is very honored to witness this moment."

"What time is it now?"

Gio Skua had calmed down and asked calmly.

The synthetic man smiled slightly and said:

"15,200 years have passed since you liberated the Hailanzhu Autonomous Region—oh, Hailanzhu Province. Of course, for you, this is just a break."

Gio Skua fell silent. He raised his head and looked at the sky above his head that turned purple forever. The doubts in his heart were finally explained.

"A blink of an eye and a thousand years...the inherent time domain."

Gio Skua murmured:

"Oh ho, it turns out I was fooled."

"The original Hailanzhu province was simply a trap to lure me into."

"No wonder he died so simply... These guys from the kingdom just sold the planet to the void!"

Now, an extremely serious question faced Him:

Now, He is in the sixth narrative, the inherent time domain of the void.

Once he leaves the inherent time domain here, he is equivalent to stepping directly into the third level of Zhou Yuan.

Not only that, this body has to withstand the erosion of hundreds of thousands of years when it leaves the inherent time domain. He is not a mortal and has no lifespan limit, but when transformed, it is equivalent to dozens of repetitive work performed on every part of the body in an instant. Thousands of years.

The mechanical energy generated alone... is enough to destroy this body.

In other words, Gio Skua discovered a sad fact:

He was imprisoned.

Not only that, the whereabouts of the 'seed' cannot be traced. It is in the inherent time domain, and he doesn't know what the situation is in reality.

He could only stay in the third star abyss, until one day an acquaintance came to pick him up.

Or, wait until Leanding's mother becomes impatient and forcefully disconnect him from Xingyuan.

No matter what the outcome was - Gio Skua knew very well that his mission for this trip was over.

"Speaking of which, where is that guy Leos?"

He turned around and asked the two synthesizers:

"Do you know where Leos is?"

However, the two synthesizers looked confused:

"Your Majesty, who is Leos?"

"My right-hand man, he stayed aside when the Dragon Guard Empire was founded."

The two synths looked at each other in confusion. After exchanging information, they turned to Gio Skua and said:

"Your Majesty, there is no information about Leoz in the database, and there are no records."

"In that case - do you know about the high table and the Fermi Institute?"

"There is no information found in the database. According to our historical records, it was you who authorized the first generation of the empire to capture Hailanzhu Province and unify the planet."

Gio Skua stood still.

In an instant, countless information flashed through his mind, and the fragmented fragments were connected together to form a clear clue:

Leoz concealed his identity from the beginning, allowing Him to act as the face of the church and gather a large number of believers.

No matter what time it was, He would remain behind the scenes and never make any public announcements.

Leoz was completely missing during the final battle and showed no signs of anything.

There are various signs that Leoz pushed Him out simply as a shield.

And now, Leoz must have left - no, he probably never entered the inherent time domain in the first place!

He knows everything.

"...Have you done anything for the sake of efficiency?"

Gio Skua gritted his teeth:

"Leoz—you lied to me again!?"
