"Damn, it's not like there's no loot for this fight!"

Gio Skua grumbled.

Although his actions were more efficient than he had imagined, he always found something strange.

The knights of the kingdom council, the remnants of the army are at least tens of thousands of people, and now they don't even see a shadow.

The soldiers of the Empire rushed to the shore, mounted on horses and carts, and marched towards the city, but as they swept past the gathering points, they were caught off guard by the deserted villages and towns.

"Captain, there doesn't seem to be anyone here."

"The grain and well water are all in good condition, they have been checked, and there is no toxicity."

"It's not a strategy to clear the wilderness, not even a field mouse can be seen."

At first, it was thought that the villagers had given up resistance and fled into the towns, so they marched into the big cities.

But in the face of the streets that were still empty and empty, leaving only a dead silence, the soldiers of the empire were completely stunned.

They don't know what to do at all, it's like a punch goes out and hits the cotton, the power is completely absorbed, and they don't know what to do at the moment.

Especially at the top of their ranks, Gio Skua also felt a sense of absurdity when faced with this situation.

But the instincts cultivated over the years made him feel that things were not so simple.

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

"Life is extinct......

Gio Skua groaned, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. I had to let my men take over the town first.

The soldiers of the empire took over the facilities of the city in confusion and excitement, but under the strict requirements of the church, they did not touch the property of the civilians, but only opened the storage of the local lords, and after judging that there was no poison, they enjoyed it in a big way.

A full day passed without any problems.

Gio Skua couldn't help but doubt himself:

"Am I nervous?"

Speaking of which, Leoz didn't reply, where the hell is it?

The more Gio Skua thought about it, the more strange it became, since the start of the landing operation, whether it was Melissa who committed suicide abruptly, or the empty town, or the vanished Leoz, all this became extremely strange.

What made matters even more troublesome was that even after searching the last land, he could not 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 make an uprising to build a country, except for helping the locals unify the empire, the purpose of his trip was not achieved at all.

It's 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.

The erosion of the void seemed to have come to a standstill.

The entire dragon moon is completely frozen as if it had fallen into amber, and it seems that it will not change for millions of years.

On the sixth day, Gio Skua was still sitting in Hailanzhu Province, and for a whole day, the wind was light and cloudy, and nothing happened.

He sits on the main seat of the divine contemplation and meditates on the gods, which can be understood as the sleeping dormancy of mortals for the gods of the [Destruction] path, which can speed up the repair of body tissues, maintain the porcelain skin, and make it more resistant to corrosion and radiation.

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

At the end of the recuperation, Gio Skua stood up from the ground and looked up at the horizon, where the white sun still hung over it.

It's been another day. I'm running out of time. ’

Helpless, Gio Skua stood up and moved outside the door, ready to continue searching for news of the seeds.

But then he was struck by what he saw.

When He opened the gates of the palace – he was greeted by a thriving techno-metropolis!

Neon lights flashing, airships shuttling, maglev railways circling the city, and Internet celebrities strolling through the streets with selfie sticks, dressed hot and bold, not at all like the posture of the Dragon Guard Empire under the theocracy.

「…… What the hell?"

Gio Skua stepped back and closed the door, and for a moment his brain was shocked.

"Is it a delusion? It must be an illusion, that time span is at least a thousand years long!"

He comforted himself and reopened the door.

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

「…… Huh?"

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

He hurried back into the house and waited a few minutes before opening the door again.

The next moment, he was presented with an alloy earth, a flickering in the cold sky, and a starfighter leaping into the atmosphere, those extremely anti-aerodynamic structures landed smoothly in front of him under the anti-gravity technology.

The spaceship slowly opened, releasing a staircase of light-casting, and two humanoids covered in synthetic materials slowly walked down, bowing their heads to Gio Skuua:

"Wake up, Gio Skull. The Federation of Dragons is honored to be able to witness this moment. ”

"What time is it?"

Gio Skua was already unfazed and asked calmly.

The synth smiled slightly and said:

"It has been 15,200 years since you liberated the Hailanzhu Autonomous Region, oh, it is Hailanzhu Province. Of course, for you, this is just a nap. ”

Gio Skua fell silent, he raised his head and looked at the permanent purple canopy above him, his doubts finally explained.

"Instant Ten Thousand Years...... Intrinsic Time Domain."

Gio Skua muttered:

"Oh roar, I was fooled."

"The original Hailanzhu Province was simply a trap that led me in."

"No wonder you died so simply...... These Kingdom guys sold the planet directly to the Void!"

Now a very serious question was before Him:

Now, he is in the inherent time realm of Narrative 6, the Void.

Once he left the Inherent Time Domain here, he was equivalent to stepping directly into the third layer of Zhou Yuan.

Not only that, this body also has to endure hundreds of thousands of years when it leaves the inherent time domain, he is not a mortal, there is no limit to lifespan, but when transformed, it is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of years of repetition of work in every part of the body.

Light is the mechanical energy produced...... It's enough to toss this body to waste.

In other words, Gio Skua discovers a sad truth:

He was imprisoned.

Not only that, but the whereabouts of the 'seed' cannot be traced, and it is in the inherent time domain, and he does not know what the situation is in reality.

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

Or, wait until Lai's mother gets impatient and forcibly severs his link to Xingyuan.

Whatever the outcome, Gio Skua knows very well that his mission is over.

"Speaking of which, Leoz, where the hell is that?"

He turned to the two synths:

"Where is Leoz, do you know?"

However, the two synths were at a loss:

"Your Majesty, who is Leoz?"

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

The two synths looked at each other, exchanged information, and then turned to Gio Skua and said:

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

"In that case—the high table, the Fermi Institute, you know?"

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

Gio Skua stood still.

In an instant, a myriad of messages flashed through his mind, and the fragments were connected together, strung together into a whole clear thread:

Leoz concealed his identity from the beginning and let him act as a façade for the church, gathering a large number of faiths.

At all times, He sits in the shadows and never makes a statement.

Leoz was completely missing in the final battle and didn't show anything.

By all indications, Leoz pushed him out as a shield.

And now, Leoz must have left—no, probably didn't enter the Inherent Time Domain in the first place!

He knows everything.

「…… Are you already doing whatever it takes to be efficient?"

Gio Skua gritted his teeth:

"Leoz—you're lying to me again!?"
