The Brevis System, the main star's orbit, a large spaceport designated " North Tower ".

This space station, Brevis's vital link to the outside world, is currently shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

It is about to welcome a special "guest" today.

The port area has been cleared, and a large number of staff and SDF ( System Defence Force ) personnel have designated the reception area, eagerly awaiting arrival.

Their gaze was fixed on a massive transport ship in the port berth, which had just been moored and was battered but still showed signs of its former glory.

The " Song Offering " is Pilgrim-class transport ship.

A few hours earlier, as the ship was about to enter the orbit of the main star, several Orks " The Rock " attempted to intercept the transport ship.

Fortunately, the Brevis SDF reacted quickly, dispatching four Sword-class frigates for emergency assistance.

After a fierce firefight, the Orks the Rock were successfully destroyed, opening a safe passage for the Song Offering.

Now, the main character has finally appeared.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the massive hatch of the Song Offering, facing the port, slowly opened, extending an escalator.

Kerry Von ( Lynn himself), dressed in a sharp, dark blue captain's dress uniform, calmly stepped out of the hatch, arm in arm with " Isolde Cora".

He walked with a steady gait, a perfectly measured smile on his face, and deep, mysterious purple eyes.

Isolde ( Puppet Number One ) nestled beside him, dressed in a gorgeous long dress, with exquisite makeup and a reserved and elegant smile on her face.

No one could detect the faint purple light hidden deep within her eyes.

Following closely behind was his adjutant, Gus Griffith.

He grew a thick beard, which softened his already overly "handsome" appearance, making him look rugged and dignified.

Next up was Doudou, the captain of the royal guard.

This 2.6-meter-tall Ogryn giant wore a specially made, extra-large, and extra-thick version of a finely crafted breastplate.

He was trying hard to keep a straight face, attempting to project an expression that said, "I'm very serious, I'm very professional."

Although Doudou didn't know what was going on, he knew that his boss " Kerry " was showing off.

He then put on a serious expression, trying his best not to break the atmosphere.

Finally, there's the head steward, Tom Chris ( the Butcher ).

At the head of the welcoming procession at the bottom of the escalator stood four figures, each with a distinct demeanor but all wielding considerable power.

On the far left is a middle-aged man wearing a gray military uniform, with his hair neatly combed and glasses.

He is the Chief Archon of Governor Carter 'Brevis Governor's Office and the Vice Marshal of the Planetary Defense Force Planetary Defense Force (PDF).

It represents the Brevis Governor's Office.

His expression was serious as he carefully examined Lynn as she descended the escalator.

Next to Carter was the SDF Admiral, dressed in a white tuxedo.

The third person was an elderly man with a kind face, wearing a magnificent red and white bishop's robe and holding a scepter.

He was a bishop representing the Ecclesiarchy, holding a very high position.

On the far right is an obese nobleman dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, adorned with numerous jewels, and sporting a standard smile.

He was a noble lord who came on behalf of the Noble Council and also served as the director of the spaceport.

His slick gaze swept back and forth between Lynn and Isolde, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

Lynn calmly stepped down the escalator, her eyes quickly scanning the welcoming crowd and the surrounding environment.

He noticed the shoulders of the port workers and SDF soldiers.

Almost everyone wore a badge on the other shoulder or chest of their uniform.

The twelve-star emblem representing the Noble Council.

It seems that Kerry and Isolde's intelligence was correct; the Noble Council's reach is indeed extremely far.

Even the SDF and spaceport, which are theoretically directly under the Planetary Governor, have been significantly infiltrated.

His gaze returned to the four representatives in front of him, and he quickly made a preliminary judgment:

At this moment, everyone had descended the escalator and stood before the four representatives.

After shaking hands with the four representatives in turn, Lynn had already made a basic assessment of the situation.

Aside from the fact that the Governor General's representative, Carter, might be one of their own.

The other three, the SDF Marshal and the noble lord, are clearly members of the Noble Council.

The Ecclesiarchy bishop appears to be neutral at present.

The situation was much better than he had anticipated; at least he wasn't completely isolated.

Following procedure, Carter stepped forward to verify Lynn's identity.

He accepted the ornate envelope Lynn handed him. "Letter of Recommendation from the Sector Governor."

Carefully examine the sealing wax stamp, handwriting, and anti-counterfeiting Psychic Power markings.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and handed the letter back:

"The document is correct, Your Excellency Governor Kerry von."

Then, Carter took a black data chip box from the safe held by his attendant behind him.

This is the original Brevis genetic code; the one on the Song Offering is just a replica.

All four representatives were staring intently at Lynn.

This is the first substantive test regarding the governor's identity.

The genetic code can only be unlocked by Kerry Von's own biological information.

If the unlocking process fails or encounters any abnormalities, then the authenticity of this "governor" is questionable.

Given Brevis ' current situation, there's little room for such significant changes.

Lynn remained expressionless and calmly removed her right white ceremonial glove.

His right hand looked normal, with fair skin and long, slender fingers.

But in reality, this skin is a highly realistic symbiotic armor structure.

He gently pressed his finger on the biometric area on the front of the data chip cartridge.

A green light scanned across my fingertips.

Beep!

A crisp beep sounded, and the indicator light on top of the chip holder turned from red to green, indicating successful unlocking.

The expressions of all four representatives showed subtle changes.

Carter breathed a sigh of relief, the scrutiny in his eyes fading somewhat, replaced by a hint of approval.

The SDF Marshal remained expressionless, but a hint of disappointment seemed to flash deep within his eyes.

The Ecclesiarchy bishop's smile remained unchanged as he nodded and greeted Lynn.

The noble lord raised an eyebrow, his smile ingratiating, but the disdain in his eyes remained unchanged.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Governor Kerry von." Carter bowed formally.

" Brevis, we look forward to your leadership!"

Lynn shook hands with Carter again.

This time, he felt Carter's loyalty and sincerity.

After a simple welcoming ceremony, everyone boarded the Valkyrie Transport that had been waiting at the port.

They were modified to be so luxurious that they didn't resemble the Valkyrie transport ships at all.

The fleet slowly ascended, leaving the spaceport and heading towards the planet below, covered in ice and war.

Just as Lynn's squadron was passing through the atmosphere and flying towards the main nest.

The Song Offering, somewhere in the lower levels.

Several figures draped in dark cloaks quietly gathered.

Beneath the cloaks and hoods, their exposed skin was faintly visible, displaying an unnatural purple hue with constantly shifting textures.

On the lining of their cloaks, a blasphemous symbol was embroidered with some kind of pigment.

Twin tongue knots entangled in chains.

A figure, seemingly their leader, lifted a corner of his hood, revealing a strangely beautiful face, yet made even more eerie by the purple hue and the growth of tissue.

He looked in the direction Lynn had left.

She extended her long, slender, forked tongue, licked her lips, and spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, full of seductive and manic charm.

He was whispering to himself, as if Dialogue with some unseen being:

"Master, look what I've found for you..."
