"The last space jump will end in 5 seconds!"
Rocket's voice sounded in the command cabin, "The space anomaly point will be very close to the solar system! Get ready to leave through the wormhole! "
In the slight tremor of the Throne, the space in front of the golden crown-like ship that was rapidly moving forward in the wormhole began to collapse outwards. It was as if a cold heavy hammer was hammering the outer edge of a bottle little by little, exposing its entire oval hull to the faint starlight.
Saber, who was sitting on the throne, opened his eyes and saw a strange starry sky. It was very close to the solar system, but he still couldn't see his hometown with the naked eye.
"Then, the next step is to return to Earth at the speed of light!"
Quill happily entered some parameters and whistled. "In at most four hours, we'll be able to return to our homeland after so long!"
"Wait!"
Saber's voice sounded at this moment. He stopped Quill's plan to return to Earth all the way. He shook his head,
"We can't just go back like this …"
"Why?"
Quill asked impatiently, "We are only one step away from our hometown!"
"Because there are Asgard's heavy guards ahead, Quill."
Seiber said in a low voice, "I don't want to fight them when we're so close to Earth. The Demonic Gods are watching us from the side. We have to find another way to go back, and most importantly …"
His eyes narrowed,
"I haven't found any trace of Thanos along the way. That is to say, that guy is also hiding in the dark. The dark is our advantage. Once we jump into the foreground, this advantage will be converted into the opponent's advantage. So, until we are absolutely sure, we have to continue to hide in the dark … but don't worry, I promised to get you back to Earth, and I won't lie."
His lips moved slightly, and a series of coordinates were read in Quill's mind:
"Let's go to this place first."
Quill frowned and entered the coordinates into the navigator. He whispered, "This place doesn't seem to be in the solar system."
"It wasn't here in the first place … Let's go. Don't think too much, Quill. You're going home soon!"
So the ship, which had just hovered in place for less than two minutes, jumped into the wormhole again after a few seconds of charging. A few minutes later, an Asgardian golden battleship that was speeding over probed the previous position several times, but in the end, it found nothing and could only turn around and leave.
Saber's guess was right. Almost all the Asgardian legions were evacuated from the various vassal states and then arranged in positions along the Solar System. On the one hand, it was to guard against the Thanos that might appear at any time. On the other hand, it was not without the intention of targeting the Overlord.
However, Sol was unusually stubborn in certain aspects. He clearly knew the location of Utopia, but as he had sworn to his ancestors that he wouldn't divulge the location, even after the war broke out, he kept his promise and didn't include Utopia within the boundaries of the war. From this point of view, Sol was really worthy of his bloodline.
He was a true warrior. Of course, he was not a good king.
On the other side, in the city of Utopia.
More and more resources were transported to the New World. Due to strict confidentiality, these materials were sent to Utopia in batches. They were all mixed in a large number. In the eyes of outsiders, it was almost a mess of a logistics system. The remaining forces of the entire world gathered together and began to contribute to the survival of mankind.
On the other side of the New World, it is said that seven major cities have started construction at the same time. The Heavenly Sword Bureau originally planned to immigrate to the New World within five years, but this plan was put on hold because the current world situation really didn't allow them to carry out such a large-scale population transfer, so they could only build some necessary facilities first like SHIELD and Utopia.
The construction of these facilities was strictly planned. They must ensure that if the worst happened, the industrial facilities left in the New World and the first batch of immigrants could rebuild civilization in the New World in the shortest time possible.
In other words, the Utopia World is the largest "refuge" of the old world. It is a backup of civilization that exists on the premise of the destruction of mankind or the earth. Cultural treasures from all over the world, such as the cultural relics of the Louvre, have been sent to special buildings in the New World to be sealed and processed.
No one knows when the end will come, but human civilization has begun to do its best to preserve its heritage.
In dealing with such matters, no leader would feel relaxed. Even the young Catherine felt the same way.
"Ding!"
The door of Saber's villa was pushed open, and a figure walked in. The light was twisted open.
The tired Catherine threw her handbag on the sofa, took off her solemn coat, and walked into the bathroom. After a while, she sat on her bed in her pajamas, her hair scattered, and she leaned against the headboard. Her eyes were unfocused as she looked at the empty wall opposite her.
Gotham City, suspended in the sky of Utopia, is a quiet place. Residents who want peace live here, and this war-ridden city has now become an indispensable part of Utopia City. It follows a fixed orbit all year round, moving in a circular motion along the central axis of Utopia City, just like a special satellite city.
After a long day of work, Catherine felt a sense of relaxation that she had not felt in a long time. From a little girl who did not worry about anything in the past, she had suddenly become the ruler of a country. Even if she was just a nominal leader like the British royal family, the pressure would not be reduced by much.
In the past ten days, Catherine had talked to the leaders of various forces on various occasions. She had schemed against those cunning old foxes and negotiated with them on certain treaties. Sometimes, she would speak in front of the people with a tough attitude, or visit certain places to encourage the people to persevere.
These things that Catherine thought were ridiculous in the past, when she really did it, she realized how difficult it was.
"How did you become so heartless? Saber. "
Catherine flipped open the large photo album beside her. This was the only private pleasure she still had. She flipped open the photo album, and the first page was a memento of when she first joined Saber's world.
Her father was holding her with a satisfied expression on his face. Beside him stood Saber and Kevin, while Robin stood behind her father. Behind the original family photo was the scene of the Old Gun Bar's refurbishment and opening day.
Catherine's finger moved slowly on the photo. At that time, her father had not left them, Robin was still a police officer with a bright future, Kevin was a famous mafia boss, and Saber … At that time, Saber was the boss of the Old Gun Bar in name, but in reality, he had already started to make waves in the city.
"How did you manage to withstand such pressure and lie to us that it was easy?"
Catherine smiled and flipped to the second page of the photo album. It was the first time Saber brought her to New York. She used her phone to take a picture of the two of them in the car. Catherine could not help but laugh out loud. At that time, happiness was always so simple. She still remembered the scene of her quarrel with Saber at Xavier College.
Then, she turned to the third page. During the few years when Saber was missing, her father left them, and she lived alone in New York. That kind of gray and depressing life, and the surprise when Saber suddenly appeared.
Then, they were in Mexico, and their life in Gotham gradually stabilized, but the tide of fate hit them again and again. Only that guy who was also growing up took the place of her father, standing in front of them and sheltering them from the wind and rain.
The photo album was very thick, but there was always a time when she finished reading it. On the last page, Catherine used delicate stickers to paste the letter Saber left for her at the end of the photo album. There was a sentence written with a bold pen:
"This is the last time!"
"Saber, this is the last time we allow you to leave us …"
Catherine shrugged. She was no longer like a few months ago when she would cry every time she read the letter. She seemed to have gotten used to being alone. After Saber left, she had to learn to face the hustle and bustle of the world alone. She had to grow up. Just like what Saber said, she had to become the kind of person she wanted to be.
Yes, she wanted to be her brother … She wanted to be a person who would never be defeated like the Overlord. Because, like Saber, she now had people that she had to protect.
"I'm really lucky …"
Catherine closed the photo album and hugged it in her arms. "You always teach me what to do, but I … I'm still not ready …"
"Sigh …"
"Ding"
The light in the bedroom turned dark at this moment. It was time for the Queen to go to bed. Tomorrow would be another busy day. Perhaps in her dream, Catherine would meet the family she had always wanted to meet.
"Hum"
The quiet night passed quietly. In the middle of the night, a shadow quietly appeared in the hall of Saber's villa. Saber stood in the darkness, looking at everything around him with a nostalgic gaze. On his shoulder, the Little Treant also opened his eyes wide and looked at the world that was completely different from the starship.
"Shh!"
Saber raised his finger and made a gesture to the Little Treant to keep quiet. The latter sat on his shoulder obediently and covered its mouth tightly.
Saber stepped forward. The darkness in front of him seemed to have met its master and made way for Saber with a gesture of submission. He quietly walked into Catherine's room. Just like before, he sat by his little sister's window and looked at her inelegant sleeping posture. Even when she fell asleep, she would still hold the photo album tightly in her arms.
Saber reached out and took the photo album from Catherine's hand. At this moment, the little black dragon that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws jumped out of the space and opened its mouth at Saber. However, after Saber's calm gaze swept over it, the little guy decisively cowered. It hugged its head with its wings and shrank into the corner, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
The Little Treant jumped down from Saber's shoulder and curiously walked to the little black dragon's side. He reached out and knocked on its head. The little black dragon opened its eyes and glanced at Groot, shook its head, and closed them tightly again.
What a huge coward!
Seiber didn't care about the quarrel between the two cute creatures. He sat there and flipped open the album. Just like Catherine, he flipped through the album page by page, experiencing everything that happened to him page by page. From the perspective of a bystander, he felt the waves of fate.
"Hmm …"
While he was looking at the photo, Catherine's hand hugged his arm from behind. She rubbed against his arm like a kitten and let out a comfortable hum. However, after a few seconds, Catherine felt that something was wrong. She opened her eyes in a daze and raised her head to see Saber looking at her with a smile on his face.
Catherine blinked and then closed her eyes again. She hugged Saber's arm even tighter.
"Phew … phew, so I'm still dreaming. Forget it, let's just consider it a good dream … Saber, I'm warning you, don't leave us in the dream … I miss you so much, phew …"
"Sigh …"
Seiber let out a soft sigh. He stretched out his hand and tidied up his little sister's hair. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he decided to maintain this awkward posture. After a while, he entered a deep meditative state. Anyway, he didn't need to rest now, so he decided to let Catherine have a good night's sleep. This poor lass must have been very tired recently. Her dark circles even appeared under her eyes.
The moment he entered meditation, Catherine's closed eyes suddenly opened. She sat up from the bed with a whoosh. Her hair, which had just been tidied up, fell down again. She looked at Saber in front of her. Saber tilted his head and looked at her. The two of them maintained this strange posture for 10 seconds.
"Little girl, I'm back."
"Ahhh!"
What answered him was Catherine's scream. The next moment, he was hugged tightly by Catherine. The latter was choked with sobs and couldn't say a word. Even though she had been thinking about how to welcome Saber when he returned for the past few months, every minute and every second, she had been thinking about how to welcome him when he returned.
But at least at this moment, the most sincere outburst of feelings was more than a thousand words.
"Okay, okay."
Saber patted her back and said softly, "You've grown up. Don't be like a child. Be good."
"Phew … Phew …"
The little black dragon flapped its wings and flew behind its master. Groot rode on its back like a knight. Seeing that Catherine and Saber were looking at him at the same time, the Treant waved at them happily.
"I … am Groot!"
"Wow!"
Catherine wiped her tears and reached out to touch Groot's head, allowing the latter to jump on her neck. She played with Groot and turned to look at Saber. "Is this a gift?"
"Yes, it's a gift."
Saber had already stood up and walked to the door. As he opened the door, he winked at Catherine.
"It's for you and Utopia … By the way, don't disturb me from meeting them again tonight!"
"Good girl!"
