Chapter 463: Leaving Again
Jack had decided to prioritize spending time with his family while on Earth, but there were still many people he wanted to meet. Therefore, he invited them all together.
A bottle of wine rested at the center of a table, while five people sat around it. They were Jack, Edgar, Dordok, Dorman, and Huali. Five people whose paths all led them to Earth.
“I cannot believe you destroyed the Animal Kingdom,” Huali said, raising her cup. “It’s like a dream.”
“And I can’t believe I’m sitting with the Grand Elder of the Exploding Sun,” Dordok joked. He was much larger than humans, being an ogre, so the cup in his hand seemed comically small.
“There is nothing grand about me,” Huali replied, shaking her head. “The Sun fell during my watch. I have shamed my ancestors.”
“Speaking of that,” Jack said, “I’ve wondered about something for a while. Didn’t your faction have Supreme Ancestors like the Animal Kingdom? How did Eva Solvig manage to destroy you?”
Huali sighed. “She didn’t come alone. The peak B-Grade Envoy responsible for the Milky Way galaxy was alongside her. Before that man, our Supreme Ancestors collapsed like mortals… It was only afterward that he left for the Crusade.”
“I see. Sorry for the painful memories.”
“It’s fine. I’ve made my peace with what happened. With the Kingdom and the most powerful Envoys dead, I plan to leave this planet soon and try to re-establish the Exploding Sun. I know the hiding place of one of our Ancestors—she might be able to help.”
