"What do you mean?" Sutton looked at the person.
This person was named Kiron. After the battle on Unified Planet, Kiron's father followed Sutton, and later, after Kiron's father passed away, Kiron continued to follow Sutton.
"Because... they have contacted someone here, putting the king in danger..." Kiron said with a sinister smile, drawing a Laser sword from somewhere and turning to point it at Sutton.
"Retreat!" Kiron shouted. "If you don't retreat, I'll kill him!"
"Why?" Sutton stared straight ahead and spoke to Kiron behind him.
Sutton regarded Kiron as his own child; his father had always followed Sutton, so Sutton trusted Kiron deeply.
"I'm not my father... don't place your trust in me like you did with him..." Kiron replied with a laugh. "If I kill you, we can ally with Ouyuxing and end the war. I could also take the throne..."
"Ally? I doubt that if we stop fighting and you become king, Ouyuxing will truly ally with us," Sutton mocked Kiron's ignorance. "We would only become slaves..."
Once a war between planets escalated, there was no such thing as alliances; the stronger side needed complete victory to gain their glory.
"I don't care about them..." Kiron glanced at the people nearby and paused when he saw Xia Yun. "I don't care who they are; on Qutian Star, I am king. Being at the top is enough... and our noble princess will also become my woman."
"Heh... kill me? Killing me won't make you king, and if you do kill me, you'll lose your leverage. These people will just kill you and choose another king," Sutton said calmly.
Sutton had become a leader and the highest authority of a planet, so he couldn't have only been good at fighting.
Kiron fell silent for nearly a second after hearing Sutton's words, then tightened his grip on the sword: "Is there anyone willing to help me establish a new kingdom?"
Kiron stood behind Sutton, unable to see Sutton's eyes, while both he and Sutton looked at the many loyal followers of Sutton in front of them.
Sutton's eyes moved slightly, but he remained silent.
"I am willing." A warrior with green skin but dark undertones stepped forward, moving behind Kiron.
"Is there anyone else?" Kiron asked with a hint of a smile, marking the first successful step.
"I am willing too." A woman stepped forward.
Kiron's smile widened.
"You can still smile..." Xia Yun said from the side.
Xia Yun knew that the two standing behind Kiron would never betray Sutton.
"Yes, you can still smile..." The warrior grasped Kiron's hand tightly, preventing Kiron's Laser sword from striking down, while his other hand wrapped around Kiron's neck.
Sutton's gaze turned sharp, his fists clenched. He delivered a heavy elbow strike backward and escaped Kiron's control.
Meanwhile, the woman skillfully threw Kiron to the ground.
"You young ones don't understand what our generation has gone through... People like you who would betray us will never know how close our bond is or how in sync our actions are," Sutton said calmly.
During the unification of Qutian Star, Sutton and the warriors endured countless battles to succeed. Those who followed Sutton and stood by him did so not for survival, but out of genuine trust. They had walked through that era together, which forged their absolute trust in one another.
"When your father followed Sutton, you didn't even know where you were..." the woman laughed.
Kiron's father was also a follower of Sutton, someone who earned Sutton's trust and believed in Kiron; it was also because of Sutton's faith in Kiron's father that he trusted Kiron.
"Exile him to the endless void," Sutton said.
"Don't... no..." Outside, the war raged on, and the light obscured Kiron's face.
"The king has granted you a slim chance of survival; you should be grateful for the mercy he has shown you... this is an opportunity given to you by your father," the warrior said. Sutton dealt with rebels by executing them directly, but Kiron was exiled due to his father's influence.
Exile to the endless void meant transporting the prisoner to a powerless cabin and then giving that cabin a certain speed, sending it into the depths of the infinite universe.
It seemed cruel, but there was a glimmer of hope; if he encountered a life-bearing planet, he could be saved.
However, most perished during the long drift.
"Of course, if you are unwilling, I can simply kill you," Sutton said expressionlessly.
The warrior, filled with passion, despised traitors above all else.
"No... no... exile me... thank you for the king's mercy..." Kiron nearly crawled to Sutton's feet, speaking in a pleading tone.
He had thought he could rise to become the highest king, but Kiron was still too inexperienced.
"Father, are you really letting him go?" Xia Yun approached Sutton.
"I let him go... because of my old friend..." Sutton closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It was out of remembrance of that friendship that Sutton spared Kiron.
"The battle has been at a stalemate..." Sutton stopped thinking about what had just happened and looked toward the battlefield.
Both sides were evenly matched, with no clear advantage.
"I don't know where Ziyu went..." Xia Yun turned to look at the wormhole behind the battleship, the waters on the other side of the wormhole were very quiet.
"We can't go on like this; our team can't be consumed this way. Main battleship, set sail." Sutton stared at the situation ahead, unwilling to let his warriors die any longer.
This was different from the war of the Unified Planet; this war was a hundred or a thousand times more intense than that of the Unified Planet.
"King... this will escalate the battle..."
"I can't worry about that, fight!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earth, Asia Shennongjia.
"Whoosh..."
A spacecraft rapidly descended from an invisible height and landed here.
Ziyu and Ye Ling stepped out.
Ziyu did this to keep too many people from knowing their whereabouts. Ziyu and Ye Ling had returned to the organization once before to gather some detailed information, and then they came here.
"We're going in..." Ziyu said, looking at the expanse of greenery before them.
Shennongjia, deep within, was a primeval forest filled with mystery.
The legends of wild men here were quite absurd, but the organization had found traces similar to those in Bermuda.
"Rumor has it that there are wild people here... Can I shout?" Ye Ling mischievously looked at Nearby.
"Go ahead, it won't do any good..." Ziyu said expressionlessly.
Ye Ling stuck out her tongue and bounced around like she was on vacation.
"We're here to save the Earth..." Ziyu cleared her throat and reiterated their goal, "not for fun."
Ye Ling pouted and moved closer to Ziyu.
The two of them ventured deeper and reached a place where people used to be afraid to go.
"Zero, activate the analysis to see if there's the symbol we're looking for." This location was marked by the organization, and the symbol discovered in the organization's video was found nearby.
Ziyu assigned the task to Zero, who observed Nearby's surroundings and searched more accurately and quickly than Ziyu could.
"Sir, over here." Zero discovered the symbol in Shennongjia.
