In the endless deep space, a massive creature appeared. It moved across such vast distances with little effort, as if it were taking a peaceful walk in the park. Felix was scared out of his mind because he had never seen anything that huge before. The beast stood at least 160 feet tall and was nearly 330 feet long. It looked a lot like an alligator from Earth, but with some key differences. Above its eyes grew a single long horn, which was silvery-white and about three feet in length. When this enormous monster suddenly showed up in space, Felix, who had been holding his breath the whole time, tensed up even more. He was flat-out terrified. They were far apart now, but at the monster's speed, it could reach him in seconds flat. An old saying proved true in that moment—the thing Felix feared most found him. Just when he thought the giant alligator might leave, it turned its massive head around and headed straight for him. It did not even have to speed up. It just kept moving at

With his level of power, Felix could easily see through the clouds of dust. About a dozen figures were running toward them. He wasn't entirely sure because they looked like apes moving on all fours. Their outfits were identical, but he was not sure if he could even call them outfits. They were bare-chested with animal hides wrapped around their lower parts, barely covering what needed to be covered. Each had wild, tangled hair that clearly had not been washed in weeks, judging by the knots. Noticing their childlike faces, Felix asked, "Sir, how old are they?" "They're all ten years old." Ten years old? Felix couldn't believe it. How could ten-year-olds be so big? Despite their baby faces, they stood at least six feet tall at just that age. It made Felix wonder what would happen when they grew up. By the time he processed this, the kids had stopped in their tracks. Though they drooled at the roasted meat, not one made a move. "You may eat now." Only after the old man's com

At Star Alliance headquarters, Jerry was briefing Tyrone. "The Zaborowskis made it back safely, but we still haven't heard anything from Mr. Zeller." Tyrone's face darkened. Scopulus' actions were a slap in the face to Star Alliance. Having a newly appointed Elder hunted down on his return journey was a total embarrassment. "Where's Scopulus now?" "He's gone. There must have been a spy among us who tipped him off. That's why he managed to escape just in time." After a brief silence, Tyrone asked again, "How far has the search gone?" One way or another, they needed Felix either alive or dead. The situation was already brewing trouble. Without answers, people would lose faith and think the Ruin Order had grown powerful enough to challenge them so openly. "Based on where Felix was drifting, he probably ended up in Azurath. As you know, we don't dare go there." Tyrone frowned. "Is it because of the Voidmaster?" Jerry nodded. "Yes. You know Azurath is the Voidmaster's territ

The Ghostgator was basking in the moonlight when it suddenly jumped up and let out a deep growl. The old man lazily waved his hand. "Calm down. It's just an old friend visiting." A stream of light appeared before the old man. Then, it transformed into a man with soft features. "Duncan, I haven't seen you in decades. You look more handsome than ever." Duncan Mikkel, otherwise known as the Human Emperor, said nothing. He just sat down and stared at the old man. The old man asked, "Why are you staring at me? You're creeping me out. As the Voidmaster, I couldn't possibly have done something wrong, could I?" When Duncan remained silent, Viggo Notary continued, "So, we're even now, right?" Duncan finally nodded. "It's good to see you haven't lost your mind and forgotten about me. We're old friends, after all."Viggo laughed. "Please! That young man had your mark all over him—I could smell it from miles away. Why else would I spare his life? "Sure, it's genius of him to be able

Viggo yawned and frowned slightly, then muttered to himself, "How dare these weaklings think they can run around on my turf? They're asking to die. Whatever. Since I've made that bet with Duncan, I can't cheat." After that, he glanced at the Ghostgator lounging nearby. It understood what Viggo wanted immediately. It let out a roar before taking off and vanishing into the sky. Meanwhile, the Orions, who were approaching the forest, felt their hearts skip a beat. Though the roar came from very far away, it still left them shaken. "Mr. Brent, are there some kind of terrifying monsters on this planet?"Seeing his people panicking, Brent snapped, "What are you all so scared of? If Felix can survive here, why should we worry? Keep moving!" This calmed everyone down. True—if Felix was fine on this planet, they'd be even safer with Brent here. They still needed to confirm whether the signal was actually Felix, but they had to see for themselves. Just as they neared the forest, the gro
