I stared blankly at Sandora, who had a face full of anticipation. I suddenly understood. Even the 'Princess Warsong', who was famous for her belligerence, should be tired after experiencing nearly sixty thousand years of war.
I pondered for a moment before replying, "Of course I can bring you away, but where will you go after leaving? Pandora should have already told you that the Xiling Empire … actually exists only in name. Whether the territory you once ruled still exists is a question. "
Sandora replied without hesitation, "Of course I will go with you. We will go to the carbon-based planet called Earth."
"Huh?" I was dumbfounded.
Sandora wants to go back to Earth with me? Who came up with this script?! Could it be that after the Pandora Heavy Army, another army of extraterrestrial workers is going to charge into the South Manor Street?
"Sandora, you aren't joking, right? There are so many of you … "I tried to change Sandora's mind. The Pandora Heavy Army had already refreshed one-third of the faces around me. If another Sandora Army came, I probably wouldn't be able to expect to see earthlings when I go out in the future. Although Sandora's army was the same as the other armies of the Empire, where the middle and lower level members were brainless units that could be recalled into a different dimension, even if they were all recalled, the remaining commanders were not a small number. With so many people coming to Earth to buy pirated disks … Cough cough, it seems that Sicarro made me a little crazy …
"Are you worried about my identity as Emperor Schilling? Don't worry, I am only staying at your place temporarily. I won't interfere with your sovereignty. I can swear in the name of the Empire! "
… I wasn't worried about this problem at all. What I was worried about was that if another batch of pirated pirates like Sicarro appeared, the first interstellar war would probably happen between the Imperial Army and the Town Security.
However, looking at Sandora's pitiful look, I couldn't bear to reject her. She had nowhere to go.
Also, is the highest leader of the Empire really like this? Has this Sandora become abnormal during the sixty thousand years of war?
In the end, my heart softened. "Alright, you can come back with me, but you have to agree to my request."
"Yay!" Sandora cheered, then stood up, took two steps back, and happily pounced on him …
"Kacha — —" A crisp sound rang out. "Ah — —" A miserable cry rang out.
It broke and broke again …

Looks like what Sandora told me about strengthening my body was true. At the very least, my recovery ability has become much stronger …
Today was the third day since we came to this world ruled by the Demonic Beasts. In Sandora's base, I had a more detailed understanding of their experiences.
As it turned out, around sixty thousand years ago, when Sandora returned from her expedition to the Hailenda Galaxy, she coincidentally discovered this planet. At that time, Sandora only intended to play on this planet for a few days. Thus, she led her personal guards and the main force of the army to come here. Unfortunately, on the second day after they landed on this planet, their communication with the outside world was cut off (the entire Empire had fallen into a deep sleep). Not only that, the various equipment that they brought along with them also mysteriously malfunctioned. Not only were they unable to leave this planet, even their normal battle prowess was greatly weakened. As a result, they fell into a bitter battle with the local Demonic Beasts that lasted for sixty thousand years. Even though the individual battle prowess of the Demonic Beasts couldn't be compared to the soldiers of the Xiling Empire, their numbers were massive and they reproduced rapidly. What made Sandora and her commanders even more puzzled was that these Demonic Beasts seemed to be endless. No one knew where they came from. They only knew that there would be a large number of frenzied Demonic Beasts attacking from all directions every once in a while, leaving behind countless corpses before retreating. Since they only brought a small portion of their forces, it was already difficult for Sandora and her subordinates to fight the Demonic Beasts to a standstill, much less to split their forces to investigate the origin of these Demonic Beasts. Over the past sixty thousand years, the only thing they knew about these enemies was that they seemed to have been eroded by a power known as the 'Abyss', which was why they became so violent. "The Abyss is the most dangerous thing in the universe."
"The Abyss is the most dangerous thing in the universe," Shadora said solemnly. "It's not energy or matter in the usual sense. To be precise, it represents a strong will filled with the desire to destroy. This power roams the universe, and every time it stops, it will affect everything around it. Be it carbon-based life, silicon-based life, energy life, or even half-energy and half-construct life like us, we will all be affected by this power. What's even more unbelievable is that not only can it affect sentient life, but it can also affect things without consciousness. When the 'Abyss' arrives, planets will deviate from their orbits, stars will burn crazily, gravity will go haywire, various constants will go haywire, and all kinds of constants will go haywire. In other words, the Abyss is destruction itself."
When I went to ask Pandora about the Abyss, the little fella had a solemn expression on her face. She said, "Even though the information that I have access to is incomplete, it is certain that the power that Emperor Sandora mentioned does exist. And according to the information that I currently have, the Abyss has always been the main enemy of the Empire."
… I didn't expect the Xiling Empire to have a glorious history of maintaining the peace of the universe.
"Fortunately," Sandora said as she stood on a cliff near the base and gazed at the misty mountains in the distance. "It's finally over. We can leave this damned place."
"It's unbelievable that all of you could persevere for so long." I sighed from the bottom of my heart. "If it was me, I would have gone crazy long ago."
"I've already gone crazy." Sandora turned her head and smiled at me. Her flamboyant curly hair drew a golden halo. "Do you know? As the spiritual pillar of these warriors, the pressure that I endured was greater than anyone else. Even Emperor Schilling's spiritual power couldn't maintain a clear mind for long under such circumstances. So, when the war lasted for fifty thousand years, I had a mental breakdown. At that time, I even planned to have the entire army group sacrifice themselves and perish together with this planet … "
I looked at Sandora in shock. She had a warm smile on her face. Her eyes didn't seem to be joking at all.
"Fortunately, at the last moment, I regained a moment of clarity." Sandora said with a warm and happy smile. "At that time, I thought that if I continued to live, I might bring a great disaster to my warriors. They were too obedient to my orders. Even if I, who had already gone crazy, wanted them to commit mass suicide, they wouldn't have any doubts. So, I decided to end my life."
"I entered the Abyss …"
"The Abyss?" I was getting more and more surprised. "Are you referring to the power that causes trouble everywhere in the universe?"
Hearing my words, Sandora couldn't help but chuckle. "Hehe, you call such a terrifying thing a power that causes trouble. How interesting … You're right, it's that thing. Although in most cases, the Abyss is an invisible power, it has its own nest. When the power of the Abyss materializes, the entrance will appear … As Emperor Schilling, I naturally have some special abilities. Using this ability, I found a materialized entrance to the Abyss by myself. Then, I charged in … Even if I died, I wanted to give them a taste of suffering!"
"In the Abyss, I saw many things that you would never see in your entire life. There were also evil powers that were beyond your imagination. I didn't know how many enemies I killed, and I didn't know when I would die of exhaustion. I just fought day after day."
"I thought that my already shaky spiritual power would soon completely collapse under the influence of the Abyss. Then, I would become a war beast that lost all its thoughts. Or, I would be torn into pieces by the strange enemies in the Abyss. But — Can you guess what happened next?"
I gulped and looked nervously at the smiling Sandora. No matter if it was her previous reckless behavior or her sudden long-winded ramblings, I felt that something was wrong. This Emperor Schilling's mental state really seemed to be abnormal. Perhaps her last bit of rationality had been completely destroyed in the Abyss? Was she actually a puppet controlled by the Abyss? Or was she simply a crazy person who looked normal?
I didn't answer immediately, and Sandora didn't mind. Instead, she continued, "After that … I was really corroded by the Abyss …"
As Sandora said that, she suddenly smiled at me in a Shallow Shallow manner. Then, she slowly raised her right hand. Immediately, a black, flame-like materialized energy spread from her fingertips and swiftly enveloped the entire right side of her body. In just a few seconds, the right side of Sandora's body had completely turned into black flames. This strange energy flame burned so intensely that it was no longer possible to tell that her body was human. And the right hand that she had just raised had turned into a terrifying, half-meter long claw with black smoke rising from it …
