Ch. 1181..1190
Chapter 1181
Since Planet Buck was too far from the Royal Region and had too low a value, the Grim family did not waste huge amounts of finances and resources to build a communication center there.
This was the reason Planet Buck was very behind on news, which explained why they did not know about the huge event that had happened in the Royal Region recently.
In reality, Earth was in a similar situation.
However, Earth had David Lidell’s system acting as a hub, which connected the network between them and the rest of the galaxy. If not, it would have required a great sum of money for Earth to build a huge communication center to connect with the Royal Region’s network.
As David connected the network, he also limited the earthlings‘ access to anything beyond the surface information of the Milky Way. They could not access more in–depth information.
David had also used the system’s stealth function to prevent the earth’s location from being exposed.
Truth be told, the system was extremely brilliant, and David had no idea who created it.
It was impossible for a Level 9 Civilization to comprehend a God Tier Civilization creation. Even though the former may seem like it was merely one tier away, the actual difference between the two was as different as the skies and the land.
However, David had a feeling that as long as he relied on the system to increase his abilities, there would be a day when he would finally knew all the secrets the system held.
Julius Grim and the others from the Grim family gawked at David in shock.
The Grim family had been eradicated?
How was that possible?
Even if they had not returned to their families in a long time, the Grim family was still ranked fourth out of the eight prominent families of the Milky Way Empire, and was a reputable force even amongst the Royal Region.
They may not be the strongest, but they certainly were not weak at all.
How was eradication even a possibility?
They did not believe David at all.
“You… You… You’re lying! Us Grims are one of the prominent families of the Milky Way Empire. How could you possibly have eradicated us? If you dare do anything to us, the grandmaster of the Grim family will make you pay.” Julius retorted loudly.
Internally, he was in a stage of utter horror since he saw Balu at David’s side.
Just like the people on this planet, there was a “slave” marked on the forehead of this man. He also looked like the chief that was brought away from this planet all those years ago.
Julius had a feeling that this trio was here for revenge.
When he thought about all the things he did to the people on this planet while he ruled Planet Buck for the past hundreds of years, causing the people to drop from a population of a
hundred million to about only ten million, Julius felt his blood run cold.
He was dead!
He was extremely dead. If these people knew about this, they certainly would not let him go. He was done for!
It did not matter if the Grim family was indeed eradicated because his death was imminent.
David did not want to pay attention to people like him. It would be too easy to just let Julius die, so David spared his miserable life for Balu to torture him slowly, like how he had tortured the Buckeranians. David looked at Balu, who was at the side, and said, “Let‘s go, Balu! I‘ll bring you to rescue your people. Your people are waiting for you to come back and save them.” “Thank you, Master!” Balu replied with his eyes red–rimmed. Right after that, David brought the other two with him and left to rescue the Buckeranians.
As for Julius and the rest, they were left in place, but their bodies were completely disabled, and they could not move even if they wanted to.
Planet Buck was not huge. With David‘s mind power assisting them, it was an easy task for him to locate the people were. First, they needed to free the Buckeranians that were slaving away under the Grim family‘s control.
Then, they would look for the rest of the people that were hiding in the shadows, away from the Grim family‘s pursuit.
Chapter 1182 David Lidell and the other two went toward their first stop, which was the nearest mine.
Planet Buck was rich in a certain kind of ore that could be extracted and refined into low–grade metal. Even if its value was not great, large volumes of it could be worth quite a lot. If not, the Grim family would not have sent so many people there.
Julius Grim‘s task was to control the indigenous people so they would mine ores and refine them into metal. The Grim family would be there to collect it once every few decades.
The mine that David and the rest were heading toward was a bigger mine, with at least thousands of Buckeranians working in captivity as mining slaves. As they were just approaching the mine, they could hear all kinds of insults from the Grims. “Be quick! Did you not f*cking eat? I‘ll break your f*cking legs if you continue dilly–dallying.” “What the heck are you looking at? Don‘t you have your job to do? Wanna stand up for him, huh? You looking for a beating?” “Smack! Smack! Smack!”
“Ahh! I won‘t do it again, I won‘t do it again!”
“Master, someone passed out.”
“Trash! Doing such little work and they dare pass out? A few of you, drag him out, throw him to the beasts! Don‘t get in the way.”
“Yes, Master!”
“Ding! Ding!”
A noise combination of scolding, people shrieking from pain, and clanging of the ore mining filled the ears of David and the other two.
Balu‘s eyes were bloodshot as he trembled with rage.
If David was not at his side, he would have rushed in and killed everyone in there.
David‘s expressions were stormy as well.
That was the result of implanting the slave mark.
If earth also had the slave mark implanted on it all those years ago, it would probably be in a similar state to Planet Buck.
Mia Concord did not feel as emotional as the rest.
She was born in the Royal Region, and even though she was born to a small force, she was used to watching injustice.
One could only rise above the crowd if one had the ability and background to match. Or else, if one lived in the lowest tier of society, they would not have it easy. There were even a few arenas that had secretly organized matches to pit human against human just to entertain the rich and powerful.
Losing meant death, and to die a gruesome death was way crueller than what was happening in the mine.
David and the rest continued walking forward and were quickly stopped by two Grims.
“Who are the two of you? You look unfamiliar! This is the heart of the mine, you can’t enter without the Master’s permission.”
Naturally, they assumed that David and Mia were Grim, because, on Planet Buck, other than the indigenous people that had the slave mark implanted, the rest of the people were all Grims.
There was no slave mark on Mia and David’s forehead, so it was clear that they were not one of the indigenous people.
David ignored them and continued walking forward.
The two Grims were about to stop him when they realized they could no longer move their body.
Not only could they not move their body, but they also could not speak a word.
It was like there was a hand squeezing their throats.
Slowly, the two Grims lost their lives and fell to the ground.
As David and the two entered the mining area, they were immediately greeted with the sight of countless Buckeranians hard at work.
Each and every one of them was so thin they were skin and bones.
80 percent of them were men, and 20 percent of them were women.
There were also a few of them pushing the ores out from the mining hole.
“Ding! Ding!”
The sound of mining was a lot clearer once they went in.
The miners were hard at work while the supervisors from the Grim family were seated at the side surrounded by meat and fruits. There were beauties serving them, massaging them, and feeding them.
David and the two also saw a pile of about ten bodies stacked casually on top of each other. These were probably the miners that had fainted or died today.
In reality, with the abilities of the Grim family in the Milky Way, it was entirely plausible to hand the mining jobs over to machines, since the technology on level 3 civilizations in the Milky Way was already very advanced.
However, they chose to use human labor to save costs.
Planet Buck had so many slaves anyway, they might as well put them to use.
The arrival of David and the other two caught the attention of the supervisors.
However, before they could say anything, David had already broken their necks with his mind power.
Chapter 1183
“Ahhhh!”
The sudden death of the supervisors from the Grim family provoked a shriek from the beauties that were serving them.
At the same time, it had also drew the attention of several miners. They stopped what they were doing to look at the dead supervisors, and then at David and his troop.
Ever since Balu stepped foot on Planet Buck, he had been restricting himself, until he saw how it was almost like a living hell before his eyes. Now, he could not hold back anymore.
These were his people.
Once, they had such blissful, free lives, but here they were at that moment, knowing nothing but pain and suffering as they trudged on, barely living. They were living completely hopeless lives. David did not say anything. He knew he needed to hand it over to Balu at that moment.
After managing his emotions, Balu knelt before David and bowed three times. Then, he got up and faced the Buckeranians without any emotion on his face.
“Good day, Buckeranians! My name is Balu, my father was Babu, and he was once the chief of this planet. At that time, we were all living blissful, free lives...
“But, ever since these scums arrived, our peaceful days have been disrupted. My entire family has been abducted, and we were forced to painfully live as slaves, while all of you were left behind to fend for yourself...
“However, it‘s all good now, Master has killed that bunch of scums, and I‘ve been rescued by Master. What we will do next is to free the entire Planet Buck and liberate our people. We have to work together to rebuild our home. We will go back to living the peaceful lives we once had...
“Lastly, I would like to apologize to all Buckeranians on behalf of my father, Babu. He did not manage to protect you and has caused all of you the hell you have to live with. I‘m sorry!”
Balu spoke all these with tears streaming down his face, and when he was done, he collapsed to the ground on his knees.
The Buckeranians, who had initially lost all hope and were emotionless and expressionless had dazzling light shining from their eyes after they heard what Balu had said.
They were not the generation of Buckeranians from hundreds of years before, but the third, the fourth generation after that, with some of them being the sixth or seventh generation after that.
Due to long–term malnourishment and timeless working, these people had very short lifespans.
However, this did not stop them from knowing about Planet Buck‘s past glory, since it was passed down via word of mouth from generation to generation.
Planet Buck was once like paradise. They had no oppression, no fights, and no forced labor regardless of the time of day. They never knew what kind of lifestyle the Buckeranians had in the past because they had never experienced it before. It was merely a dream to them. They could only imagine it. Did they finally wait long enough to see their dreams fulfilled?
All of the workers placed their tools down, fell to their knees, and wept. David brought Mia with him as they walked away. He knew these people had been holding it all in for too long a time, and they needed to let it all out.
David and his troop took a few days to go through each and every mine on Planet Buck. There were thousands of them.
The smaller mining areas had a few hundred people, while the bigger mining areas had tens of thousands of people. In total, they freed millions of Buckeranians.
Along their journey, they found that the entire Planet Buck was littered with dead bodies everywhere. It was like they were walking through hell.
There were many workers that had died, after which their bodies were carelessly discarded, welcoming the wild beasts to feast on them, and there were bones and corpses strewn everywhere.
Planet Buck used to have close to a hundred million people, but all that was left were the measly ten million people. The death rate was over 90 percent, and their remains could be easily seen all over Planet Buck.
Only the area around where Julius Grim stayed was clean. Looking at the horrible, hellish scene before them, not only were David and Balu shocked, even Mia‘s heart trembled.
One of them was glad that Earth had escaped such fate.
The other was flabbergasted. These were all his people.
David showed no mercy to the cruel supervisors from the Grim family. As soon as they arrived at a location, the first thing he did was take care of the supervisors.
After freeing the slaves, they went to look for the other people that were in hiding.
There were quite a number of them, and they were nearly all hiding in the deep forest.
If the Grims wanted to find these people, it would not be hard for them. The only reason why they did not was due to the issue of sustainability.
Chapter 1184
If they were to all be captured, it would not take long till there was no one left to work in the mines.
Only when these people were spared could they continue to have offspring, by which time the Grims would have an unending supply of slaves to work the mines.
In the beginning, Julius Grim was not aware of this problem, causing the number of Buckeranians to decrease drastically. He only slowly came to realize the gravity of this issue after some time.
If there was no one left on Planet Buck, they would most certainly be called to go back to the Grim family, and the paradise–like life as they knew it would come to an end.
This was the reason they developed a strategy like this.
If they let the hiding Buckeranians breed, when there was no one left to work the mines, all they needed to do was uproot one or two groups of people from their hiding places to continue the work.
The Grims repeated this many times, successfully extending their days in paradise.
After freeing all the slaves, David and the two breathed a sigh of relief. Looking for the others was no longer urgent after knowing that at the very least, they would not be in danger.
David and the rest were also prepared to continue their search mission after a night’s rest. Just as David returned to his Galaxy Warship, his communication device rang out of the blue. “Ring ring!”
It was a message from Princess Astrid.
Even though Planet Buck could not connect to the Royal Region’s network, David had the system with him!
He was able to completely ignore the distance. No matter where he was, he was able to connect to the network.
As for Astrid Barlowe, David had decided to try his best to keep his distance, and not have too many interactions with her. This was because he knew that Astrid Barlowe had started to grow fond of him.
If they were to continue interacting, it would cause a lot of trouble in the future.
The main issue was Astrid’s very unique identity. As the only Milky Way princess, who was also Emperor Nimbus‘ favorite daughter, if something were to happen between the two of them, the issues would be immeasurable.
David did not need to be fearful of anyone, especially with his current ability, but he was still not very fond of being under the limelight, and being at the center of attention of the entire Milky Way.
His current relationship status was very complicated, and the more it was probed the more complicated it would get. At this point, he had no idea how he was going to deal with all it.
If he were to add another princess to the mix, would that not be equivalent to him digging his own grave? Shaking his head, David opened the message.
Astrid, “Where are you now, David?”
David, “I‘m not in the Royal Region at the moment. I‘m very far away. What can I do for you, Your Royal Highness?”
Astrid, “Oh, you‘re still not done with your business, David?”
David, “Nope! It might still take a very long time. If there‘s anything I can help you with, please feel free to say it, Your Royal Highness.” Astrid, “David, three months from now, Father will throw a state banquet at Planet Royal, and all the different forces of the Milky Way will be there in celebration. I‘d like to invite you to come along. Will you be available?”
At Planet Royal far, far away, Astrid Barlowe sat in her room, staring nervously at her communication device after she had sent the message. She was so worried that David would say that he did not have time.
It took her so long to find an excuse to invite David to Planet Royal.
If he rejected her, what should she do?
Did she really have to ask Father to step in personally, and have him captured so he would be her husband?
No, no!
No way.
If she did that, David would be really angry. She could not be selfish like that.
I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 1185
Chapter 1185
David looked at Astrid’s message and was silent.
Emperor Nimbus had planned for a state banquet at Planet Royal three months from now? All the forces of the Milky Way would be there in celebration?
Did the state banquet of the Milky Way Empire not only happen once a decade?
It was not time for it yet, right?
Also, it was not that grand of an occasion as well to have all the forces in the Milky Way attending.
David instinctually felt that this state banquet was more than it initially seemed.
It might be related to the Sangruil Sinners.
However, what did that have to do with him?
Why did Astrid Barlowe invite him?
David gave it more thought, and he roughly understood Astrid's plans.
Inviting him to the state banquet was a hoax. The truth was, she wanted to see him.
The state banquet was nothing but an excuse.
It would be best if he did not attend.
If all the forces of the Milky Way were to be present at the state banquet this time around, and there was bound to be a flurry of VIPs. If he really did spark any rumors between himself and Princess Astrid, he was sure to become well-known and famous.
He would be thrust into spotlight and become the center of attention everywhere he went, and that was no good news.
It did not suit his humble personality.
Hence, David’s reply was, "Your Royal Highness, I’m truly sorry! I will be occupied with work at this time and won’t be in the Royal Region, so I might not be able to attend."
David have yet to realize that he was the biggest VIP of the Milky Way.
With combat ranking of Partial Eternal Realm, he would be able to put up a fight if he ever got into a fight with Emperor Nimbus.
Besides that, he had three different top combat skills practiced to perfection, and a supreme weapon - the Demon-Splitting Sword - that could slice through everything in the universe.
With all these added bonuses, only a genuine fight
could show if Emperor Nimbus was actually a match for him.
David felt that he had nothing to be afraid of, especially of Nimbus Barlowe.
Meanwhile, Astrid was anxiously waiting for David's reply.
When she saw David’s reply about him not being at the Royal Region, hence he could not make it, she felt aggrieved.
When they parted, they had made a pact for him to come back to her as soon as he could.
It had been such a long time, and not only did he not have any intention of coming to Planet Royal, he even rejected her when she took the initiative to invite him.
As the Emperor’s favorite daughter, when did she ever suffer such grievance?
Astrid's tears flowed down like a breached dam.
It took a while for her to let it all out, and when she finally dried her tears, she felt that she could not just give up like that.
She had to fight for her happiness.
If David did not want to see her, she would change her approach.
After giving it some thought, Astrid had finally come up with another valid excuse.
"David, I told Father and Mother about you saving me, and they would like you to attend the state banquet so that they could thank you for saving me, and they would like to ask you more about the situation regarding the Sangruil Sinners. You’ve fought them, so you should be more aware of their combat style. This time, the Sangruil Sinners partnered with the Nine- Headed Serpent Clan and merged both their genes. It would be a huge threat to the people of the Milky Way, so Father and the rest are trying to figure out a way to counter it. Could you please temporarily set aside the work you have on hand and make a trip here?"
After she had finished typing it, she sent it and quietly waited for the results.
This time, she was no longer as anxious as she was before.
Astrid believed that David would not reject her this time, since it involved the safety of the people of the entire Milky Way.
Also, what she had said was technically not wrong.
This time, the Sangruil Sinners partnered with the Nine- Headed Serpent Clan, and it could be a catastrophe to the people of the Milky Way.
The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan was one of the strongest clans amongst the galaxy beasts that loved to consume humans.
Chapter 1186 It would be troublesome once they interfered with the Milky Way‘s affairs.
Even her father and brothers could be in danger.
David finished reading Astrid‘s message.
It was exactly like he had speculated.
He knew Sangruil Sinners were up to no good when they attacked Princess Astrid.
Otherwise, they dared not act so blatantly.
His speculation was proven to be true.
Even the empire felt the danger.
Sangruil Sinners seemed to have found a strong partner, so they wanted back evf ything that had once belonged to them.
When it came to the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan, aside from what David had heard from Astrid, he had also learned about them from the Meteor Chamber.
However, he did not learn much about them.
The Meteor Chamber required other treasures of heaven and earth instead of Galaxy Dollars in exchange for in–depth information.
David could not help it.
Was he to trade it for the Demon–Splitting Sword?
He was not that stupid.
He would not do this unless he had lost his mind.
It was a weapon capable of slaughtering everything in the universe.
There was no way he would use something that made him stronger in exchange for something useless. He bought information from the Meteor Chamber to get lavish points.
Since he could not buy it, there was no need to do any transactions.
Therefore, he had only gotten basic information about Nine Headed Serpent. He only knew that they were a strong man eating race.
However, they were not in the Milky Way Galaxy, but the Beast Galaxy next door.
David had no idea how strong this race was and whether it was as strong as Eternal Realm.
Since Sangruil Sinners and Nine–Headed Serpent Clan were working together, they must have had a deal with each other. If Sangruil Sinr s brought down the empire and took control of the Milky Way, wey would have done their side of the deal. Many people from the Milky Way would die and become the Nine Headed Serpent Clan‘s meal.
David did not want to be a busybody, but he was human after all. He could not stand seeing the Milky Way‘s people become another race‘s food.
He would forget it if he was incapable.
However, he had the power to stop it, so he could not stand by and watch.
David, “Your Royal Highness, no need to thank me. Since we‘re friends, don‘t mention it. But since it has something to do with the Sangruil Sinners and Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s deal, I have some say in this as I‘ve confronted them before. Don‘t worry! I‘ll be at Planet Royal in three months.”
Astrid‘s tears turned into smiles after receiving David‘s message.
She knew David would say yes.
Whatever his reason for coming to Planet Royal, it was fine as long
as he was here.
Astrid, “David, you‘re highly principled. I thank you for Father and the Milky Way‘s people.” David, “Your Royal Highness, don‘t mention it! I‘m human too. Of course, I don‘t want to see another powerful race invade our homeland. Especially if it‘s a Nine–Headed Serpent that feeds on humans. I won‘t refuse as long as I can help.”
Astrid, “Thank you very much, David. I‘ll wait for your arrival in Planet Royal in three months.”
David, “Okay! See you in three months.” Astrid finally sn d brightly after texting David.
‘David finally agreed. ‘He‘ll be on Planet Royal in three months, and I‘ll see him then.’ However, Astrid then looked a little distressed. ‘There are still three months to go!
‘How can I pass the time faster?
‘If only time could speed up.‘,
Chapter 1187 While Astrid was frustrated, someone entered her bedroom.
Only one person in the Milky Way would walk into Princess Astrid‘s bedroom without knocking.
That person was Empress Gamora–Astrid‘s biological mother.
She was the only person who could do that. Even Emperor Nimbus needed to knock before entering. After all, her daughter was a grown–up now.
Forget about the others. No one would do so unless they had a death wish.
“What‘s on your mind, my dear daughter?” Gamora came up to Astrid and whispered in her ear.
“Ah!”
Astrid was startled by the sudden noise.
“Mother! You scared the hell out of me,” said Astrid as she puffed her cheeks.
“You wouldn‘t even know there‘s someone in the room if I didn‘t speak. How dangerous is that? What if someone bad had come here?”
Astrid rolled her eyes. “Mother, this is my bedroom. No one but you dares to enter so quietly.” “Alright, alright. I‘m sorry. Tell me what was on your mind. You were so absorbed in your thoughts.” “No... Nothing!”
“Were you thinking about that David kid again?”
“No... I‘m not!”
“You look nervous, and you‘re telling me you‘re not. Have you invited David to the state banquet in three months?” Asked Gamora.
She was worried that David was a trap.
Therefore, she needed to confirm David‘s identity as soon as possible.
It would be best to intercept David outside if they knew where David was.
If not, they could lure him to Planet Royal.
After all, Planet Royal was the Barlowe family‘s headquarters.
“Yes!” Answered Astrid.
“What did he say?”
“David says he‘ll ve on Planet Royal in three months.” “That‘s more like it! I’ll send someone to bring him here if he rejects my baby girl.” – “Mother, will you stop being so violent? Did Father bring you back like that too?” Astrid asked curiously.
“No way. Your father and I are in love with each other. By the way, did David say where he is right now?”
“No, but he said he isn‘t in the Royal Region right now. He‘s somewhere far away.”
“I see.”
“What‘s the matter? Mother, is there a problem?”
“No, no! Everything’s fine as long as he comes to Planet Royal in three months.”
“He promised me, so he will be here!” Astrid said confidently. Then she recalled something and added, “Mother, why don‘t you tell me what happened between you and Father back then?” “What is there to tell? You‘re too young to understand this.” Gamora shook her head and rejected.
“Oh! Mother... Tell me all about it! I‘m not little anymore, okay? I‘d love to hear about your history,” Astrid said coquettishly as she took Gamora‘s hand.
Gamora rolled her eyes at Astrid and said, “Alright! I‘ll tell you about it. Your father was amazing back then. Over the past thousands of years, he was the most talented person in the Milky Way. He has charmed many girls, making them fall for him. I‘m not bad either. I was Lunar Palace‘s high priestess, and many men adored me...”
Empress Gamorrld Princess Astrid her and Emperor Nimbus‘s love story.
They went from acquaintance to lovers and then husband and wife.
They had the highest status in the Milky Way. One was the empire‘s prince, and the other was Lunar Palace‘s high priestess.
Therefore, their families did not stop them.
Both liked each other, so they naturally ended up together.
They did not experience any tumultuous or dramatic romance.
However, it was often the happiest to have a peaceful relationship.
Chapter 1188 You could see it in the way Gamora remembered it.
Astrid listened with longing.
She wished she and David could be like her parents.
Light Star. Close to the edge of Zone of Nothingness in the Milky Way.
Since the Sangruil Sinners occupied it, the humans here had been kept in captivity for food. Light Star was now a hundred times scarier than Planet Buck.
The people on Planet Buck were only abused and enslaved, and the people worked themselves to death.
However, Ligh tar was different.
All humans had been locked up for food. They were supplied to Sangruil Sinners with Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s genes.
You could imagine the fear people on the Light Star felt.
What was it like to wake up every day, scared it was your turn to be eaten and be treated as food when you were a high–intelligent race with consciousness, a mind of your own, and character?
Only the people on Light Star knew.
They were in a state of panic almost all the time.
That atmosphere could drive people crazy. The Sangruil Sinners could control their desire to eat humans if they were willing.
They were only part Nine–Headed Serpent, with the human genes still being the dominant part of their genetic makeup.
However, they did not restrain themselves because man–eating was a better way to trigger Nine–Headed Serpent‘s genes. It would quickly improve their strength.
They were also preparing for the impending war. The Milky Way Empire had been developing at high speed over the years. It had a powerful army, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Red Finch, and Black Tortoise halls, and the royal guards, which Nimbus trained himself.
These were powerful forces no one could ignore.
The Sangruil Sinners were no match for them.
Otherwise, the empire would not have hunted them for thousands of years.
The Nine–Headed Serpent Clan was restricted by the Universe Convention and could not send troops in large numbers.
The Sangruil Sinners could only feed on humans and activate their Nine–Headed Serpent genes to improve their strength.
In a mega–war that involved the Stella Civilization Galaxy, the strongest person would play a decisive role. Still, it would not work without a backbone force backing them up. Therefore, the Sangruil Sinners had to be well prepared. They had done everything they could to win.
They did not care what it took.
On Light Star, Sangruil‘s king Moe and Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s Severus discussed Nimbus‘s intention to hold a state banquet.
Nimbus had somewhat disrupted their plans. Moe‘s original plan was to dismantle the Milky Way Empire from within while improving itself before the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan arrived to back them up.
They would find ways to infiltrate the forces, starting from the weakest to the strongest.
If they could infiltrate a third of the forces, their next step would be much easier. Once their help from Nine–Headed Serpent Clan arrived, they could easily destroy the two partial Eternal Realms rankers of the Barlowe family–Nimbus and Wilfred.
Even without the Barlowe family, with a third of the force on their side, Sangruil could take control of the Milky Way in the shortest time possible, avoiding other complications. Then they could take back everything that belonged to them and enjoy their victory.
The Milky Way Empire would hold a state banquet in three months and send the army and four great halls to patrol the Royal Region.
Sangruil‘s plan to infiltrate it did not seem very plausible.
Even if they did not infiltrate it, Sangruil could destroy the Barlowe family and take control of the Milky Way with the Nine Headed Serpent‘s help.
However, this would take a lot longer, and they would face a lot of unavoidable troubles.
Chapter 1189
Liglit Star.
A sky–soaring tower.
Two men were sitting across from each other, drinking coffee.
One of them was frowning, while the man opposite him looked relaxed.
The man frowning was Sangruil‘s king–Moe, and the other was Severus from the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan.
Unable to resist after a while, Moe asked, “Severus, when will your people from Nine–Headed Serpent Clan arrive? Nimbus has noticed our frequent movements. He should have healed from his injuries by now. The sooner we act, the better for us.”
Severus took a sip of coffee before slowly answering, “King Moe, calm down. You know it takes time to get across the Zone of Nothingness. You can‘t rush it. They‘ll get here when you get here.”
Severus enjoyed being on top of the Milky Way and the slow pace of life.
Humans were indeed the wisest of all creatures. They were unique, and it was no wonder all creatures in the universe wanted to imitate them.
He was not the only partial Eternal Realm around, but there was no one stronger than him.
Other than that, Severus was one of the top ten galaxy beasts.
Besides his physical prowess, he had Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s natural talent.
Even if he could not beat Nimbus, he was confident that he would not lose.
Severus did not take Moe seriously. If he had the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s genes, he would be restricted by the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan.
This was why they had sent him here.
Helping Sangruil take on the Milky Way Empire was one nice way to call it.
To put it bluntly, they were spying on Sangruil to prevent them from breaking their deal.
However, Severus fell in love with the Milky Way after coming here.
He did not want to go back to the Beast Galaxy anymore.
Not only were there tons of delicious food to eat, but you could stand at the top of the galaxy and look down on everything.
It was something the Beast Galaxy could not give him.”
The Beast Galaxy had Eternal Realm elders controlling him, and there were several races that even the Nine–Headed Serpent could not afford to offend.
Besides that, the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan was also at war with its arch–rival, the Star Pythons.
He could be sent to war at any moment.
It was unknown whether he would survive this.
How easy was life here?
Not only was there no danger, but he could do whatever he wanted at any time.
When he finished eating the humans on Light Star, he could continue eating on another living planet.
There were millions of living planets on the Milky Way. It would take forever to finish them.
This was the kind of life Severus wanted.
It was unlike the Beast Galaxy, where he had to keep his tail between his legs.
Moe was unsatisfied with Severus‘ attitude.
“How can I not worry? Our infiltration plans are now being limited by the empire. If Nimbus is given more time to prepare, we will be in trouble. Severus, you don‘t want the Nine–Headed Serpent to be in trouble either, do you?”
“Moe, I think you‘re confused. So what if we give them time to prepare? With the two of us around, Sangruil is already invincible. One or two more partial Eternal Realms will be sent over to ensure no mistakes this time. Wipe out the Barlowe family, and everything will be settled, won‘t it?” Severus said dismissively.
“Severus, I‘m not panicking. The Milky Way has several other powerful forces besides the Barlowe family. Even if we wipe out the Barlowe family, it will be troublesome not to win over these forces. Besides, our partnership with the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan must be kept secret. We can‘t let too many forces know about it. It will cause a rebellion among the Milky Way‘s people if revealed to the public, and it will become a big deal involving the entire Milky Way. We‘re doomed if news of this gets to the Universe Enforcers. It‘s very unlikely, but we can‘t rule it out either. Thus, we should keep things lowkey.”
Severus had no choice but put down his teacup and turn serious at Moe‘s words.
Universe Enforcer! These were the people who struck fear into the entire universe.
Chapter 1190 Of course, this only applied to strong races with great ambitions. If you were only a weak race, only trying to get on with your day, there was no need to be afraid. They would ignore such a petty race.
However, you had to be careful if you unreasonably launched a war on lower–tier civilization, causing extinction and misery in the pursuit of your ambitions and your race‘s development.
You better hoped you did not run into these guys.
Otherwise, getting annihilated could be just a matter of minutes.
The Universe Convention was what the Universe Enforcers came up with.
The goal was to limit the possibility of an aggressive war between galaxies.
One of the main points was they did not allow high–tier civilizations to attack low–tier civilizations without reason just because they were stronger.
Depending on the situation, they would be beaten back to square one or annihilated at worst once the Universe Enforcers found out about this.
Resist them?
It was not that they did not think of that.
They just could not do it.
As the law enforcer in charge of the universe‘s order, they could not do it without strong backing.
How else could a level 3 civilization like the Milky Way have existed next to a level 5 like Beast Galaxy for so long?
If it were not for the Universe Convention and Universe Enforcers, the Beast Galaxy would have taken over and made it its colony long ago.
Neither the Milky Way, Beast Galaxy, nor any forces had any idea where or which force the Universe Enforcers came from.
Rumor had it they were from a level 8 or even level 9 civilization.
However, these were only rumors.
They had not been confirmed.
The Universe Enforcers were like gods to many low civilizations. They were invincible and could not be insulted.
Some civilizations even treated Universe Enforcers like gods.
However, they were not gods, and they could not be everywhere at once.
When a lot of remote galaxies went to war, the Universe Enforcers could not handle all of them.
After all, the universe was vast.
The number of law enforcers was too limited to cover every corner of the universe.
Law enforcers were rare in galaxies like the Beast Galaxy and the Milky Way.
As a result, many powerful forces would still take risks but dared not make it too big of a splash.
After all, enforcers were like a sword hanging over their heads. No one would bet their whole race on it.
A low–civilization galaxy like the Milky Way at the edge of the galaxies was hardly on the enforcers‘ radar.
The Universe Enforcer‘s attention would not be attracted unless something happened and caused the Milky Way to collapse.
This was only a possibility.
However, it was unlikely.
It was why Sangruil‘s king–Moe said they had to prevent the Milky
Way‘s humans from finding out about Sangruil‘s collaboration with the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan.
Otherwise, things would get ugly once the Milky Way united against Sangruil.
Everyone would be doomed if it attracted the Universe Enforcer‘s attention.
Meanwhile, Nimbus was holding a state banquet, inviting all forces in the Milky Way. It was likely he would announce the news.
At this point, he would explain that the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan was humanity‘s enemy who treated humans as food.
It would cause all humanity in the Milky Way to gang up against them.
This was why Moe was so nervous.
