Abyss Solo

The tri-dimensional sandbox displays the situation of the City of Light.

Yang Ming walked to the side of the sandbox, looked for half a minute, and wondered: "Any changes?"

"It's the time flow," Lyu said, "I noticed the time flow of the City of Light started to change a few Galaxy Times ago—the time of the City of Light. After repeatedly confirming, I forcibly summoned you back."

Molly added: "The City of Light has been slowly decreasing from the initial speed of a thousand times. The rate of speed reduction is linear; it is now at nine hundred and sixty times speed. If this trend continues, in about six days in the City of Light, the time flow will level with the material world."

Mimili said: "The City of Light is recovering to a time flow consistent with reality."

026 whispered: "Meanwhile, the Emperor Star, as the strongest supercomputer in the Milky Way, is releasing its computing power."

"This is dangerous for the surrounding regimes," Kolev pondered with a few murmurs, "My dear Captain, do you feel anything in the City of Light?"

"Not at all," Yang Ming shrugged, "I was just enjoying watching a film."

"Watching a film?"

"I mean watching the past of Levi that Lyu left me."

Yang Ming smiled and said: "It's interesting, some scenes are quite amusing, and there are lots of secrets about Levi... let's focus, let's focus on business."

Lyu pinched her chin, analyzing carefully:

"Earlier I detected changes in the underlying code of the City of Light, which is the necessary preparation for slowing down the time flow.

"When the time flow of the City of Light is on par with the real world, there will be two more direct consequences.

"First, your assassination plan will be directly stalled; we don't have decades to spend in the City of Light.

"Second, Lyu's abilities can be fully utilized.

"From Lyu's current actions, it seems she doesn't want your assassination of Levi to succeed."

Yang Ming wondered: "Then why doesn't she go to Levi and tell him I'm in the City of Light?"

"Levi might already know."

Kolev said in a deep voice:

"I'm an old man, and to a certain extent, I understand Levi.

"You know, my body as a battered pirate should have been done for over a decade ago, but thanks to the telomere buffer you secretly got me, I'm still lively now. But my mindset is already old.

"Levi has lived for tens of thousands of years, he's already at the brink of collapse, he might feel weary, especially when facing the Ancient God Life Forms, he might also feel a sense of powerlessness.

"He might have resigned to his fate."

Yang Ming said: "From what I know of Levi, he shouldn't resign to fate... of course, I've just witnessed the Levi family's power struggle."

026 whispered: "Lyu sends you information about Levi's growth, and also slows the City of Light's time flow, she wants to protect Levi, that's quite certain."

"Alright, however, your perspectives are actually being misled, limited by Lyu."

Yang Ming laughed and said:

"Don't forget, Levi's enemy is not us, his enemy is the Faya Civilization, a 5.5-level super high-dimensional civilization.

"If I'm not mistaken, one of Po Suo's missions is to destroy the Empire, and the main point of destroying the Empire is to eliminate Emperor Star and the Levi Fleet, destroying the mechanical body Levi relies on for dimensional ascension.

"Other parts of the Empire are like cosmic dust to the Faya people.

"The Faya people have to do these things under the rules they have set, which is why Po Suo was created. Don't you think Po Suo's hatred towards the Empire seems somewhat deliberate?

"Never tell Po Suo this, she's actually quite pitiful."

The group nodded.

Yang Ming said:

"Now, I've taken on Po Suo's mission, and the Faya people's arrangements have also fallen on me... this is my chance, comrades.

"Against Faya, we have no qualification for negotiation or bargaining, we can only follow the direction set by Faya now.

"No matter what I do now, as long as she doesn't expel me, I must return to the City of Light now.

"Currently, the fate of human civilization in the entire Milky Way is being dragged by this virtual city, if Lyu insists on protecting Levi, the Faya people will certainly have the next step.

"To the Faya people, some temporal convergence points are also inevitable, otherwise it will affect their own stability.

"Levi must die, and we shouldn't have any regret for this former king.

"Levi doesn't need human regret."
