Looking down through the starship\'s porthole, the earth was grayish-brown. Very few green things could be seen on the ground that extended to the horizon. After passing through the plains, the ground cracked open, as if a huge mouth had opened, letting out a soundless roar towards the sky.
"This is Agares?" Adele asked softly. Without a doubt, this planet was far less beautiful than Planet Heaven. The environment could be described as harsh, even harsher than the surface of Earth. Adele found it hard to imagine that Allen had lived here for more than a year.
How on earth did he get here?
Looking at Allen, Allen seemed to know what she was thinking. He held the girl\'s hand and smiled, "It\'s not easy here, but with everyone\'s support, we made it here.
”
Black dots appeared on the other side of the sky, and there was even a low roar. A moment later, a fleet appeared in front of the starship. Under the protection of those streamlined black warships, a general\'s ship flew over like an overlord of the sky from behind. The long and short masts on the ship were like the spikes of a giant beast. The wind was forcefully pushed aside by them, letting out an intimidating low howl!
The warship separated to the sides, making way for the starship. The starship drove into the docking port. After a slight vibration, the signal light in the cabin changed from red to green, indicating that the starship had docked and could disembark at any time.
"Let\'s go. Welcome to Agares." Allen pulled Adele up and blinked.
Walking out of the cabin door, the airport was already full of people. The Demonic Shadow Kingdom was led by the First General Davelyn, and a group of generals and ministers stood densely on the ground, causing Adele to be stunned. Although Allen had told her on the way here that he was now the emperor of the Demonic Shadow Kingdom. No one on Earth knew about this shocking news, and Allen did not mention it, so Adele was shocked when she first heard about it. Now that they saw the dense crowd on the spaceport, a solemn atmosphere naturally arose. She looked at the man beside her, and Allen gently held her hand.
His palm was still warm.
Then Adele relaxed.
In addition to Davelyn, there was a small group of people in front of them, led by Lucy and Lola, who were Allen's core members.
At this time, a solemn horn sounded on the airport, followed by a drum music with the characteristics of the Specter Kingdom. The Specter Kingdom's warriors picked up a trombone that was several meters long and placed it on the ground obliquely, blowing a deep sound. Then Davelyn and the other generals and ministers knelt down. Other than Davelyn, who only knelt on one knee, everyone else knelt on both feet and said in unison, "Welcome back, Your Majesty."
Allen led Adele off the starship and said indifferently, "Get up."
Only then did the crowd stand up. Lucy and the others came over to welcome them. Lola had a smile on her face. She took Adele from Allen's hand and said, "It must have been hard to come here from Earth."
"It's not really hard. It's just a little boring."
Lucy smiled and said, "Soon you won't have time to be bored."
Belmore and the others also stepped forward to meet Allen one by one. Bai, who was already a young man, still stood shyly beside Allen and lowered his head to call out, "Father." Allen smiled and rubbed his hair, still treating him as the youth from before.
Then he said to Davelyn and the others, "Let's talk about it when we return to Demonic Ring City."
The ministers agreed.
After the fleet flew back to Demonic Ring City, Adele sat in the land car and drove along Demonic Shadow Avenue, the main road of Demonic Ring City. Looking up from here, one could see all kinds of towering buildings. Traffic airships traveled along the invisible air highway in an orderly manner. Occasionally, a maglev train would pass by the buildings and quickly disappear into the shadows of the buildings in the distance.
"I was stunned the first time I came. I've never seen such a city before." Lola, who was sitting beside her, smiled.
Lucy also said, "The grandeur of Demonic Ring City is not inferior to our Golden City at all. It's just that this place is a little too gloomy."
"There's nothing we can do about it. With a big fault behind us, the sunlight will definitely be a little worse."
Looking at the two of them talking with confidence and assurance, Adele felt a subtle feeling in her heart. She was going to live with them in the future. It was like suddenly having two sisters, which made her a little uncomfortable.
When the convoy entered the Shadow Castle and arrived at the top floor. Standing in the square in front of the castle, the various buildings of Demonic Ring City in the distance had already become a dark silhouette. Adele was finally sure that she had left Earth and come to this completely unfamiliar country.
Fortunately, there were people she was familiar with and loved here.
She closed her eyes and said to herself.
That was enough.
After arranging for Adele to rest, Davelyn asked to see Allen. Allen knew that she wanted to report on the various major events that had happened in the empire during his absence, so he met her in the side hall of the palace. After changing into a black robe in the style of the Demon Shadow Kingdom and a belt with dark golden threads wrapped around his waist, Allen walked into the side hall. The side hall was very quiet, and the towering narrow window left spots of light on the ground that were rarely seen on normal days.
On one of the spots of light, the empire's number one general, Davelyn, was looking out of the window with her back to Allen.
After not seeing her for a while, the sharp aura on Davelyn's body was still obvious. She stood there, looking like a sharp knife. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the female general turned around with an inexplicable expression in her eyes. Then, she lowered her head slightly, and no one could see the expression on her face against the light.
She knelt down on one knee and clenched her fist on her chest. "Your Majesty."
"Get up and speak, General Davelyn." Allen sat on a black throne. Under the armrest of the throne were sculptures of two ferocious beasts, as if two ferocious beasts were holding the throne. Allen's feet stepped on the forelimbs of the ferocious beast lying on the ground, as if he was stepping on the entire world.
Davelyn glanced at the man on the throne. If the dignity on Allen's body was still slightly inexperienced, then now, he already had the same sense of oppression as the former emperor. The difference was that Spenak gave off the feeling of an abyss that was completely bottomless. Allen, on the other hand, was a ball of flame, bright, and would burn anyone who stretched their hands too close.
Davelyn had no way of telling which was more terrifying. She only knew that Allen was already a Sovereign when he returned. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her such a terrifying sense of oppression. She lowered her head and said, "Congratulations on becoming a Sovereign, Your Majesty."
Allen only replied with a "hmm", as if he didn't care about this matter. He asked, "What happened during my absence?"
"Something has indeed happened." Davelyn stood up and said, "After His Majesty left, the Nelms and the Kidds sent messengers frequently. In the name of paying tribute, they were actually inquiring about His Majesty's whereabouts."
"Looks like they're a little impatient." Allen said indifferently, "Or was the lesson I gave them not deep enough?"
Davelyn did not answer the question directly. Instead, she said, "Apart from that, our 'reclamation' in the gray area is not going well. There are actually experts comparable to generals among the natives. And we found out that Dobia seems to be funding these natives. We caught a few Dobians, but they refused to admit it. Because we have a truce with Dobia, we still sent the Dobians back. "
"In addition, on the other side of the Continental Bridge, Dobia's army frequently appears near our outpost base. Although there are no signs of attack, it always looks like it's not good. That's why I've increased the garrison at Stove Castle. If Dobia intends to tear up the agreement, we won't be caught off guard. "
Allen nodded and said, "What else?"
Following that, Davelyn reported some of the empire's recent developments. Most of them were internal problems of the empire. These problems were of different types, but in general, they could all be summed up in one point. That was because Allen had left the empire for too long, and he was not like Spenak. When he left, he was still not a supreme being, so the internal and external shock force was not as strong as the Demon King's.
On the planet of Agares, especially in the Kingdom of Magic Shadow, power represented everything. Without absolute power, even if Allen's throne was "legitimate", it could be overthrown at any time. The Barbarians were by no means a law-abiding race. They were better at breaking the laws. During the days when Allen left, it was actually Davelyn who suppressed everywhere, preventing the empire from overturning the heavens. Of course, Davelyn's loyalty to Allen was also reserved. If Allen didn't come back, it wouldn't be impossible for her to sit on the throne of Shadow Castle.
"I see." After listening to the report of the First Great General, Allen flicked his finger on the armrest and said, "Whether it's Dobia or the natives of the gray areas, or even the Nelms and the Kidds, or all kinds of people inside and outside the empire. In the end, it's all because I'm not Spenak that they think they have a chance.
”
Davelyn didn't dare to answer this sentence casually.
Allen stood up and said, "That's simple. Now I'll tell them that I'm no different from Spenak. If they provoke Spenak, they will be thrown into the endless abyss. If you question me, I don't mind turning them into ashes.
”
Then, an imposing aura soared into the sky from the throne.
First, it was Demonic Ring City, then the Demon Shadow Kingdom, then the Great Wastelands, and finally Dobia and the uninhabited gray areas on Agares. All living beings felt a formless pressure. It was as if a god exuding boundless majesty was looking at them from the void, and a black throne appeared in everyone's mind. On the throne supported by two ferocious beasts sat a silver-haired, red-eyed man!
A muffled snort sounded from Bu Luo City's Deep Silence Castle. Someone came to the window and the wind blew his black hair. Frius narrowed his eyes and raised his aura, facing Allen from afar.
