Night fell.
The land carriage drove through the wilderness, and the lamppost shone lonely on the ground. Inside the carriage, Tarot looked at Simir, who was sitting in the corner from time to time. The girl was silent the entire way, causing the old man to frown. Allen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he knew the situation in the carriage like the back of his hand, especially Simir. Her aura was now lifeless, almost no different from a dead object. She was like a completely different person from yesterday. Allen knew the knot in her heart, but it was up to her whether she could untie it or not. And if a superior couldn't even make a choice, there was no need for Allen to cooperate further with the Gus. Everything would stop at obtaining information about Omega.
Suddenly, light shone from behind. Allen looked back and saw a few land carriages behind him. Even though they were far away, they still opened fire without any explanation. Beams of light shot out from the back of the car, bombarding the ground on the left and causing flames to erupt. Allen sneered, opened the door, and waved his hand behind him. Immediately, a line of fire spanned a distance of hundreds of meters from left to right. The land carriages behind crashed into the line of fire and exploded one by one, turning into bright balls of fire in the wilderness. Allen returned to the car and closed the door. He didn't take this small incident to heart. There were many things like this on a lawless and unrestrained planet like Loz.
Even when they arrived at the starship's berthing site, Simir didn't say a word. She just silently handed the storage device that recorded a large amount of information to Allen and then drilled into the starship. Tarot sighed and said, "We will send His Majesty back to Agares and then return to Planet Vega."
"That planet isn't safe," Allen reminded him.
Tarot nodded. "Fini died in Gray Sheep Market, so the Kidds will definitely ask. We'll go back and prepare before leaving. " The old man bowed to Allen and went to instruct the others to transport Andal's remains and other items onto the starship. After the starship left Loz, it set a route to Agares. With the starship's speed, it would take about four hours to reach Agares. Calculating the time, it should be morning. Allen planned to return to Mokedan first and hand over the data in the storage device to Melanie for someone to copy and analyze. On the other hand, he would make a trip to Demonic Ring City to see who was in charge of the capital of the Specter Kingdom. In the end, of course, he would settle the old score with the Kidds.
Time passed bit by bit. Allen woke up after a short nap and looked at the AI screen next to him. The data had already been refreshed. According to the AI's calculations, there were still 45 minutes until they reached Agares. Allen began to take off the armor that Himir gave him and put on the Demon King's armor. After putting on the clothes, Simir's voice came from the intercom next to the automatic door. "Can I come in?"
Allen opened the door. The girl outside lowered her head and walked past Allen. She raised her head and looked at Allen, who had changed into the Demon King's armor again. She whispered, "Tarot said that if I am willing, His Majesty will still cooperate with us. Is that so?"
"That's right."
"Then we are willing to cooperate with His Majesty. In addition to the data we have already handed over to you, we can also provide more internal information about Omega. In exchange, I hope that His Majesty can save our people. "
Allen looked at her silently.
Himir gritted his teeth and said, "Does His Majesty think the conditions are not enough?"
"That's not the case. With the current situation of the Gus, I don't think there's any way to increase the chips, right?" Allen said, "But I would like to ask, is this your own idea or Tarot's?"
Himir lowered his head and looked elsewhere. "Is there a difference?"
"Of course."
"I don't understand." Himir shook his head and said, "It shouldn't matter who it is. It's a cooperation anyway. No matter what, I will provide you with everything I know."
Allen said, "What about after that?"
Himir didn't seem to understand and asked, "After what?"
"What about after saving your people? Your home planet is gone. Where are you going? Also, even if you get rid of the Kidds, the Kidds aren't the only powerful race in the Yordon Domain. That's why I asked you, what do you plan to do after that? Are you going to wander the stars with your clansmen, or are you going to be enslaved by another powerful race and repeat your fate? "
Clearly, Himir had not thought about this. She rubbed the corner of her clothes hard, her eyes flustered, trying her best to avoid Allen's gaze. Allen said, "So that's the difference. If it was your own intention, then you would have carefully considered what to do next. You would have considered how to bring your people out of this predicament, instead of rashly proposing cooperation without careful consideration."
"Furthermore, considering that you are such a leader, I think I will take back my words." Allen said indifferently, "I've already obtained a lot of data about Omega. Even if I'm not too clear about the internal situation of that mechanical star, it won't affect me much. So you see, the value of you Gus isn't irreplaceable to me. I can help you this time, but after I save you, the Gus will repeat their fate because of you. Then, what I've done will be completely worthless. And in order to save you, I have to consider more factors. Rather than that, it would be better to put you out of my consideration from the beginning. Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to act? "
"No, how can you do this? You promised." Himir was finally a little anxious.
At this moment, Allen's expression was cold, and there was no emotion in his eyes. He smiled and said, "As a superior, every decision is based on practical considerations. I agreed to help because I saw that there was still hope for the Gus. What I did would not be worthless. But now it's different. Tell me, Himir, why should I waste manpower and resources to save a race that is destined to perish? "
"I …" Himir suddenly shouted, "I don't know! Don't ask me about this. I don't want to be born a princess. I'm just a guy who can talk but has no practical ability. I also hate being like this, but I don't know what to do. No one can help me, no one can teach me. I don't know what to do next! "
She cried and beat Ellen almost out of control, venting her despair, fear, and confusion in a burst of anger.
