The day the Dark Matter Thieves incident ended.
Bai Ye and Boros first visited the spaceship, since many low-level combatants were still inside.
When they reached the compartment housing those low-level combatants, the monsters crowded around them.
"Lord Boros! Did we win?"
Only then did they notice a human standing beside Lord Boros.
Since they had stayed inside the compartment the entire time, they knew nothing about the earlier battle and did not recognize Bai Ye.
"No..."
Boros nodded slightly. "I lost. He was the victor."
As he spoke, Boros looked at Bai Ye beside him.
"What?!"
"Lord Boros... how is that possible...?!"
"This human... actually defeated Lord Boros?!"
"..."
None of the low-level combatants could accept that fact.
Lord Boros was the Ruler of the Universe. Ever since they had started following him, he had never suffered a defeat. They had never imagined that today he would...
And... since Lord Boros had lost, didn't that mean they would also...
The defeated being wiped out was perfectly normal in the cruel universe.
As realization dawned, fear filled their faces.
"We're going to die! We're all done for..."
"They'll definitely wipe us out, won't they? Do we still have a chance to escape?"
"Even Lord Boros lost. We don't stand a chance of escaping."
"Mommy~ I want to go home..."
"..."
Seeing that all these aliens thought they were doomed,
Bai Ye spoke up. "You can relax. As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't kill you."
"Huh? Really? You're not going to kill us?"
The low-level combatants all found it hard to believe.
"Of course it's true. I'll spare your lives, but you'll stay on Earth and work hard. Understood?"
Bai Ye told them plainly.
"Understood!"
The aliens all nodded.
Simply surviving was already more than they could have
