Watching the guards escorting the Crimson Empress leave, Su Xiao turned and returned to the wooden building.
Guy had wiped out the pro-war faction today, gradually clarifying the situation. Put another way, if he could not completely open up the situation here before the Nether forces invaded Pandora, it would basically be over.
Through Father, Su Xiao had obtained some information about the Empire's home planet, Oke Star. The situation there seemed stable, but in reality, its whole style was about to change—from the technological side to the bizarre and supernatural side of technology.
A large number of strange beings had appeared there from who knew where. Various sects sprouted up like mushrooms after the rain.
That was still a minor matter. The key issue was that bizarre incidents on Oke Star were increasing. At first, they could still be classified as civilian supernatural incidents, mostly bizarre murders. But the next day, large areas there were sealed off.
According to the information Father sent back, "death" had disappeared from that area. Wisps of ghostly green smoke stood between heaven and earth. Each wisp represented an "undead." Like those bizarre existences, these "undead" were equally dangerous.
The Empire had no good way to deal with such a situation. It could only package and seal these "undead" in place. It was not that they did not want to move them; rather, if the "undead" were taken too far from the place of death, they would "come alive" and launch indiscriminate attacks.
In short, Father's report boiled down to one sentence: the Empire could still hold out, but no one could say how long.
That was not even the worst news. The Empire had fifteen colony planets in total, and almost all of them had already suffered preliminary invasions by the Nether forces.
