A chilling warning flashed by.

Roger's field of vision continued to blur.

A series of extremely fragmented and blurry images appeared in his mind.

He saw the Big Fire radiating boundless heat in the void!

Teleportation Gate appeared one after another around the fireball.

The Teleportation Gate was flashing with light.

Every now and then.

Eight carriages will then emerge from the Teleportation Gate.

Finally, they marched in a grand procession onto a path strewn with meteors at the edge of the fireball!

The Teleportation Gate was filled with flickering light.

And those carriages seemed to be endless.

Although the specific details of the carriage are not clearly visible.

But the style, so consistent with the "God of War Chariot," and the occasional surge of killing intent triggered by the figures moving about on the chariot, unmistakably revealed to Roger the identities of these figures—

"The Heavenly Tribunal Army!"...

The celestial phenomenon quickly disappeared.

Roger's newly acquired Star Master Authority was still relentlessly issuing alarms!

"Star Master Authority: You have received a warning from the heavens—"

Your planet has an excessively high concentration of Aberrant Matter.

Furthermore, monsters with an SS threat level, such as the Star-Eating Demon Worms, have appeared.

We are now dispatching 100,000 ' Judgment Army Warriors ' to Mystra and Quinan to assist you in clearing the planet of monsters and anomalous creatures!

Given the instability of the curvature of the universe.

Please be prepared to receive the Judgment Army at any time!...

If the aberration concentrations of Mystra and Quinan cannot be reduced to within the safe range within 5 years of the arrival of the Judgment Army.

Then the celestial realm will conduct a ' Twilight Judgment ' on these two planets.

Please make thorough preparations!

—The Council of Gods

After learning the true identity of the Kansas' Face.

Roger never truly let go of his concerns about the Celestial Realm.

But he didn't expect that.

The blow from the heavens came so fiercely...

And shameless!

These Star-Eating Demon Worms were clearly caused by the Kansas' Face Saliva! And this saliva was dropped onto the Mi Star by the Kansas' Face itself.

This can no longer be described as entrapment.

This is nothing short of banditry and law enforcement.

They could simply dump a monster powerful enough to threaten the survival of the universe onto your planet and claim that your planet is severely polluted.

Twilight Judgment is to be held!...

This kind of behavior is completely shameless and illogical.

Roger didn't even know how to comment!

"Regardless of whether the person making a fuss is O or not, his malice towards the Twins is outrageously high. Could it be that he harbors the same thoughts as Messenary?"

"Wrong..."

"If Ao Star is already a paradise for Super Giant Monsters, why would it be in such a hurry to eliminate us? And what role do the Heavenly Tribunal Army play?"

"Damn it! What on earth is going on in the Celestial Realm now?"

"It was clearly Messenary started this trouble, so why didn't the Kansas' Face target Him after being exposed? Why did he come after me instead? Is it because I look weak and easy to manipulate?"

In a short time.

A million thoughts raced through Roger's mind.

A new sense of crisis weighed on his mind.

He was also extremely annoyed! He had just become a star lord and this was the first thing he'd encountered...

This is so targeted! There must be some reason behind this—a reason that Messenary must know, otherwise He wouldn't have said those things to Him for no reason!

Roger quickly composed himself.

And at that very moment.

A faint warmth slowly emanated from his back.

A pure white light flashed by.

In an instant.

A large number of Star-Eating Demon Worms died in the 'special effects' glow that accompanied the angelic figure's appearance!

"Notification: Your servant Cindy (Second Form) has killed a large number of Star-Eating Demon Worms!"

"You're awake?"

Roger looked at her without surprise.

The Scavenger Armor's strength has diminished considerably after the cataclysmic events of the last time.

Now he holds the Star Master Authority.

It can also suppress one or two.

This went on for a while.

It's not as difficult for Cindy to pop up and say hello as it used to be.

However, she immediately adopted a fighting stance upon her appearance.

This surprised Roger somewhat.

In response to Roger's question.

Cindy did not answer.

She pulled out a two-handed greatsword from somewhere.

The next moment.

She flew into the swarm of insects.

They began a frenzied killing spree.

The Evil-Exterminating Divine Light of the Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp is inherently wondrous.

Wherever the divine light reaches.

The swarm of insects was killed, leaving no trace of their remains.

It looks exactly like a mosquito killer lamp with a million times stronger effect...

And then there's Cindy's addition.

This insect plague, which seemed to have started from nowhere, soon came to an end.

Roger took a look.

It was confirmed that these insects did not have a significant impact on Mystra's star core.

The remaining insects are unlikely to cause much trouble.

At this point...

He waved to Cindy.

The latter's expression was unpredictable, shifting between light and dark.

In the end, it sighed and flew over.

"They're after me."

She spoke first.

Roger nodded noncommittally.

"Perhaps."

"But even without you, they would probably have made their move against us sooner or later."

She did not object.

She was also aware of the unusual situation in the celestial realm.

Even the Ao Star has become Planet-Level Monster.

How bad the celestial realm attached to it must be is entirely up to one's imagination! The most terrifying thing is...

What if all the vital forces of the celestial realm are Corrosion...

The consequences would be unimaginable! Roger felt this was highly likely! Because he had just dealt with Ao Yue from Dark Extinction Three Stars (Second Star Track)!

This woman seemed to be carrying a deep-seated hatred.

She was hiding alone on the Mi Star, diligently cultivating her skills.

Why specifically Mi Star and not somewhere else?

Roger considered one possibility—

It's because this place is far enough away from the heavens!

And that's when I thought of this.

Go deeper.

That makes it even more terrifying.

What are you going to do?

"The Heavenly Tribunal Army is not so easy to deal with..."

"And there's the Twilight Judgment!"

Her voice had completely lost its usual liveliness.

A trace of innate fear still lingered in his eyes.

Roger didn't dare to be overconfident.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "What is this thing about the curvature of the universe?"

The girl thought for a moment.

He explained somewhat awkwardly:

"I can't explain it either. Although the Nine Great Planets are in the same universe and enjoy the protection of the same Cosmic Barrier, the curvature of these barriers is different in each star orbit. When light passes through these barriers, it will be refracted to different degrees, and time will be distorted as a result..."

I don't know the specifics either. Below the Third Star Track, there's not much difference, but above the Dark Extinction Three Stars, the closer to the celestial realm, the slower time flows. The specific value depends on the changing curvature of the universe...

That's why, if the Heavenly Tribunal Army were deployed in the conventional way, they would arrive on your planet after a considerable period of time!

What about cosmic curvature?

Roger couldn't understand a word of it.

But that didn't stop him from nodding to indicate that he understood everything.

In the end.

He pressed on, "So, when will this batch of the Judgment Army arrive?"

Cindy glanced at him.

It was unusual that he didn't utter a sarcastic remark.

Instead, he started doing mental calculations seriously.

Half a minute later.

She hesitated and said:

"28 years, the fastest."

Immediately afterwards.

She added, "But it's possible they'll send some powerful figures over first."

"They may not directly clash with you, but that's the most troublesome part..."

Roger understood.

To put it bluntly, this is probably some kind of convention.

The planet below has a new owner.

The celestial realm, being the head of all stars, would send its own people to investigate.

If you say both parties are completely innocent, then that's fine.

The situation on Mi Star is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words.

Roger didn't even have the slightest trust in the Celestial Realm.

Conflict is inevitable when that happens! Once they turn against the Heavenly Realm.

Then the so-called "Twilight Judgment" will be arranged.

Roger learned this from Cindy.

The Twilight Judgment is a more terrifying, large-scale, destructive ritual than the World-Ending Forbidden Spell.

If the World-Ending Forbidden Spell merely wipes out life on the planet's surface...

So, the Twilight Judgment.

That means destroying the entire planet!

It was at this time that...

Roger only then realized that this was in this universe.

This is not the first time Twilight Judgment has occurred.

Last time.

The "Twilight Executor" from the heavens truly shattered a planet.

That planet is very likely one of the birthplaces of the Cowas People.

It may also be the original source of Martial Artist.

That's Xuan's Tenth Planet!...

"I see."

This time.

Roger truly understood.

Although I was very angry.

But he had already gotten used to this high-pressure life.

Having seized control of the Star Master Authority, he could easily reclaim control of the World-Ending Forbidden Spell.

This allowed him to suddenly relax from the pressure he had been under for many years.

I also feel a little lost.

But now.

Everything seemed to be back on track.

It's just that the World-Ending Forbidden Spell has been transformed into the Twilight Judgment, a much higher-level event!

And the opponent.

They also transformed from ethereal gods into the lofty celestial realm! To be honest.

Roger wasn't actually that afraid.

The Judgment Army from the heavens only fueled his even stronger fighting spirit! If Roger's ambition before was merely to protect the Twin Stars...

If we could allow ordinary people on these two planets to live a slightly more normal life.

Now.

The burning flame within him urged him to go even further! "Thirty-two years, is that it!"

The flame in Roger's eyes flickered continuously.

He said, word by word, "It won't take thirty-two years."

"Even if the Heavenly Tribunal Army doesn't come looking for me, I'm going to go to Heaven and expose that monster's underwear!"

The girl looked at him intently.

Her eyes showed some emotion.

"I trust you."

She said excitedly, "I can move around a little now. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Roger thought for a moment and said, "Would you please go back to sleep?"

The girl was immediately bewildered. "What's wrong?"

"Don't be shy about asking me for help, I'm still very capable..."

But the next second.

Her expression changed completely.

Roger replied somewhat apologetically, "It's like this..."

"Your first form and Second Form cannot coexist at the same time."

"Um..."

"I think your first form is more helpful..."

The girl blushed instantly.

She looked at Roger with a bit of disbelief.

soon.

When she realized Roger wasn't joking.

She couldn't help but yell, "Get out!"

Then, feeling extremely wronged, she rolled back behind Roger.

"Notification: Cindy (Second Form) has entered a dormant period..."

"Cindy (first form) is awakening..."

"Smack!"

He skillfully wiped the drool from Cindy's mouth.

The latter suddenly woke up from his sleep.

Then he saw Roger's serious face. "Cindy!"

"Get to work!"

The latter didn't say a word.

He jumped up reflexively.

Immediately afterwards.

It summoned a large number of sprites.

A thick magic carpet flew across the surface of the star core.

In an instant, it swept away a large number of the black tentacles left behind by the Star-Eating Demon Worms!

"I'm not lying, Little Cindy is definitely more useful!"

Seeing this scene.

Roger smiled with satisfaction.

The skirmish that took place at the star's core was actually quite easy.

The number of these monsters, the Star-Eating Demon Worms, is extremely large.

However, their combat effectiveness is actually quite average.

The threat of this thing lies in its sheer numbers.

If no one cares.

With the reproductive and gnawing abilities of the Star-Eating Demon Worms.

Even the hardest stellar core can be breached.

Roger holds the reins of the Star Master Authority.

There is also the Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp, a super magic weapon.

Very soon.

The Star-Eating Demon Worms that had gathered on the surface of the star core were completely wiped out.

On the data panel.

"Notification: You have killed 1 Star-Eating Demon Worms, bringing your total number of Star-Eating Demon Worms killed to 6,701,474..."

"Current accumulated experience with magical artifacts: 670 pieces"

"Should we incorporate our insights into the optimization of the ' Pure Land Pearl '?"

Optimization in progress...

Goal setting: To refine the Pure Land Pearl in a gentler, simpler way, or without harming people.

The magic weapon is being deduced...

You have consumed 670 Magic Item Experiences.

Current progress: 3%

We see a progress of 3%.

Roger's smile vanished almost instantly.

He guessed that the harmless refining of the Pure Land Pearl would consume a lot of magic weapon experience.

I never imagined it would be this outrageous! There are 6 million Star-Eating Demon Worms!

We only got 3% progress? The progress bar for that Sin Mark is already over 5%...

This means...

I want to complete the task of obtaining the Pure Land Pearl.

Roger not only had to brush the Star-Eating Demon Worms dry.

I'll have to pay with a "Renewing the Previous Bond Ticket"!

that's all.

Whether the method ultimately derived is truly simple and harmless is another matter! Roger was slightly perplexed.

It should be noted that this knowledge of magic treasures is also a valuable thing.

Generally speaking

Ten tips on magical artifacts are enough to deduce a simple magical artifact.

All 100 of these can be considered excellent magical artifacts.

Like the Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp.

At most, there are only three or four hundred magic item experience points.

The difference in consumption is truly astonishing.

Roger instinctively felt a pang of heartache.

But then he thought about it again.

The strategic value of the Pure Land Pearl is unparalleled by ordinary magic treasures.

Besides.

Putting aside the hype surrounding the magic weapon.

Roger no longer needs low-quality items.

Even if the losses are significant.

He also needs to find a way to obtain a safe and harmless Pure Land Pearl! Only in this way.

Only in this way can we ensure the safety of ourselves and other practitioners of Qi in the era of Spiritual Qi Resurgence!

This thought came to mind.

Roger immediately began to track down more detailed information about the "Star-Eating Demon Worms"!

"Ultimate Hunter: Analyzing the secretions of the Star-Eating Demon Worms..."

"Further clues being added..."

"You've pinpointed the exact origin of the Star-Eating Demon Worms— "

The 6th Historical Realm / Lead Gray Town / Man-Eating Cave, Floors 35 to 269...
