"....."
"....."
"Four planets? It's a fully developed planetary empire already… I think we should have expected this after hearing all those attributes." Celebus muttered and shook his head
Now the losses of 50 Martial Emperors and a few warships didn't seem so bad, but they should start celebrating because the rest had survived... Trying to attack a planetary empire using only 5 fleets is suicidal.
"Hey, what do you think about that control panel? Is that portal the sa as ours?" One of the marshals asked quickly
Another Marshall interjected in surprise, "What's with this strange question?"
"Shhh, this is an important question!" Then he looked at Spiro again, "How would you describe that portal? Is it made of the sa materials? Does it have the sa Runes as ours? Is it better or worse?!"
Pythor furrowed his eyebrows slightly and looked at the administrator in charge of the space portals curiously, he already understood the aning of the question.
"Oh, thinking about it, the control panel is identical to ours, the sa switches, the sa materials, even the sa runes. When the panel was first brought to , I thought it had been ripped out of one of our portals!" Spiro looked around hesitantly
The marshal who asked him nodded, then looked towards Pythor, "We have now confird, they have an overlord."
Pythor nodded, leaning back fully on his throne...
Everyone here knows that the space portal owned by the Great Serpent Empire is not sothing special. They went to visit the Overlord's followers more than once and saw ordinary people using the space portals to move around for huge sums of money. Later on, they learned that the design of the space portal was not so miracle specific to their Overlord as they thought, but rather sothing that could be bought. Anyone can buy the design if they have enough money, and in fact, setting up a space portal is a very profitable project in the middle planetary belt if one has enough power to protect it.
At the sa ti, they know that it is impossible for it to be just a coincidence that the space portals are similar. The Space portal has runes from the fifth and sixth stages of the space path. No matter how many users of the Master Law of Truth are in Nihari, they are still part of the young planetary belt and it is impossible for them to reach anything of this level, even in the entire middle planetary belt it is difficult to find soone who uses the space path, let alone the fifth degree of it!!
At this point, Celebos looked towards the Planetary Emperor Pythor, "Your Majesty, I believe we have a comprehensive view of the situation now. The 7th Vanguard Division's report was hasty and false. Nihari is the stronghold of a Planetary Empire in the true sense of the word and they have a strong supporter from the Middle Planetary Belt, and from what we can see, their Overlord spends lavishly on them, and this can be seen in the epic armor and weapon sets. If 500 epic weapon sets appeared anywhere in the middle planetary belt, it would attract all attention."
Then he looked towards the marshals, "But they also don't have any warships. The number of emperors at best is 1,400, which is a little less than half of what we have in the army. They also don't have any artificial demi-humans so we don't need to expect them to have any strong heavenly laws, They probably only have elental laws at best."
Pythor raised his eyebrows slightly. How could he not understand his friend and Pri Minister, "Are you encouraging to continue the invasion? You understand what this ans right?"
Celebos sent a aningful look toward Pythor, "I'm just saying that for the price of 500 Epic sets, we can buy another army like ours."
Pythor went silent and contented himself with looking into his friend's eyes... Both of them did not utter a word, but their gazes said a lot.
"Wait, wait, wait! A few minutes ago, we were fighting over which of us would get the support of the 31st Fleet after it was ready. Since when do we have an army sufficient to declare war on another planetary empire?!" One of the marshals waved quickly, then pointed at Spiro, "Secondly, shouldn't we know first why the Overlord is spending so much on Planet Nihari? Who knows what kind of secrets are there!"
"I... I can tell you why." The person in charge of the space gates raised his hand in sha, "A while ago I said I discovered two things, I only explained the first, so..."
"You may proceed." Pythor gave permission
"Thank you, Your Majesty, well how do I convey it... When using the portals we use a huge amount of ordinary energy stones, to send out a sacrificial group every ten years we create an artificial mountain of tens of millions of energy stones next to the space portal, This always makes the number of people who can pass at one ti very few." Spiro shook his bald head, "Even from the tales of masters who have visited the Middle Belt before, they say that the Portal keepers there pump a huge amount of Energy Stones into the portal through a Space Ring, so it's safe to say that we're not much different from the Middle Belt in this regard."
Then Spiro took out sothing from his bag, It was the control panel. "The users of this portal, however, did not face this problem. They use energy pearls instead of regular energy stones."
"They use energy pearls for the portal? This is really extravagant..." Celebus furrowed his eyebrows tightly
"Sir, I have not talked about being extravagant yet. When I said that they do not respect energy pearls, I ant that! Please see, according to the records on the panel, I can find out how long the portal remained active, how many people passed through it, and to what destination they went, after I did so Calculations found that this portal alone needed at least 250,000 energy pearls to have this kind of record!" Spiro spoke in horror
*Tak* Celebus also felt startled and took a step back before regaining his balance
250 thousand energy pearls were consud in one portal? What is this bad joke? If all the offerings they made to the Supre Lord were added together, the total would not reach 25 thousand energy pearls!
"Your--" Celebus quickly looked at Pythor to ask him what he intended to do with this information and found his old friend standing for the first ti since the eting began. The rest of the marshals were also standing with signs of stupefaction and disbelief.
With one sentence from Spiro, everyone realized that the nine planets they were proud of were nothing more than a fart.
"...I must contact the Overlord." Pythor looked up at the ceiling
"I will start the preparation, we should be ready to take off tomorrow." Celebus did not hesitate for a mont or ask why, the decision to invade Nihari beca bigger than him, and Pythor himself.
"No, it will take months until we can et the Overlord, that's if we get to et him at all… I will summon his soul shard, he will understand when he hears the news, everyone, get out imdiately." He did not wait for them to co out, but rather got up imdiately, then knelt on both knees and hands and began muttering, "I ask you, my Supre Overlord, to honor with your presence... I ask you, my Supre Overlord, to honor with your presence..."
------------
Ten hours later--
"I ask you, my Supre Overlord, to honor with your presence..."
*Swoosh* Shards of dark light quickly ca out of Pythor's head and quickly began to gather
The form that the dark light took was very vague. It did not appear to be a human, a demi-human, or a mutant. It only had a head, two arms, and two feet. Other than that, it seed like a moving piece of darkness itself.
That dark avatar opened his shiny white eyes, then took a few steps until he sat on Pythor's throne and placed his right foot on top of his left knee.
Finally, he seed to notice Pythor kneeling on all fours in front of him, then opened and spoke in an indistinct voice as if the laws themselves were speaking, "This better be good."
