Holy Knight Star.

Countless engineering robots, like industrious ants, are repairing the wounds left by war.

This once peaceful and stable planet has been repeatedly contested and attacked in recent years, causing great suffering to its original inhabitants.

Although the force that Diorus sent to attack Holy Knight Star was only a detachment, it still included dozens of Demigod and over ten thousand spaceships.

Despite the presence of Orbital Base Station in the Holy Knight Star System, which greatly improved the efficiency of troop mobilization, it was still unable to resist the overwhelming force and was pushed all the way to the Holy Knight Star.

Normally, Logo should have stayed on Holy Knight Star to fight against this detachment, and even had a chance to wear down the durability of the God-Hunting Spear. However, what Diorus did not expect was that Logo would choose to abandon Holy Knight Star and allow the powerful forces and fleets of the Saila Empire to wreak havoc.

Logo himself went to the Amethyst Battlefield and dealt a severe blow to Diorus.

Even now, Diorus still doesn't understand Logo's thinking: to abandon the territory he painstakingly conquered for an outsider?

This doesn't align with the logic of a regime leader.

After racking his brains, Diorus could only attribute it to Logo's overly strong sense of the big picture, or perhaps some shady secret deal between him and the Crimson Alliance.

It must be said, Your Excellency the Evil God is overthinking things.

Logo abandoned the Holy Knight Star System and the Dragon River Star System simply because he didn't care.

To put it bluntly, these two star systems are merely gateways to the Golden Star. As long as the Golden Star remains intact and the space wormhole is well protected, losing them is no big deal.

Without knowing the existence of spatial wormholes, Diorus's judgment was quite diametrically opposed to reality.

Later, the main force of the Saila Empire withdrew from the Amethyst Battlefield, and the detachment naturally did not linger, hastily withdrawing from Holy Knight Star, allowing the Gendaya Royal Court to easily reclaim its territory.

Since the Saila Empire was also aiming to conquer Holy Knight Star, the damage, though seemingly severe, was actually only superficial. Holy Knight Star's core remained intact, and its natural elements were still abundant. That was enough; given enough time and the help of engineering robots, the ecosystem could be restored quickly.

The only pity is that the floating island above Holy Knight Star, after several wars, finally could not withstand it and crashed down, disintegrating in mid-air and turning into countless fragments that fell to various parts of the planet.

Therefore, the current administrative center of Holy Knight Star has been moved to outer space, to a planetary fortress.

This fortress was seized by Logo from the Saila Empire during the Amethyst Battlefield. Using his virtual technology and the Soul Informatization, he unexpectedly defeated the main AI of this planetary fortress, forcing it to abandon its evil ways and embrace the light.

The fortress, comparable in size to an ordinary planet, floats outside the Holy Knight Star, adding an extra moon to this demon-infested planet.

A large fleet of the Gendaya Royal Court surrounded the planetary fortress, providing heavy defense.

Because Logo had given the order to retreat in advance, the Royal Court fleet did not suffer significant losses. Of course, even if the entire fleet had been wiped out, it wouldn't have been a big deal, since it was only two or three thousand warships, so it was insignificant.

A streamlined, dark purple spaceship, resembling a teardrop, took off from the planetary fortress's spaceport and quickly entered a high-speed jump state. Utilizing the subspace channel established by the Orbital Base Station, it left the Holy Knight Star System in a short time.

Inside the cockpit, Fujia Rathalos stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the virtual projection before him, occasionally communicating with the spaceship's AI to adjust its course.

Several years have passed, and the once upright and straightforward Fujia Corgi has, under Gustavo's influence, transformed into a cunning old fox who would rather scheme behind people's backs than act directly, and who would rather poison them than use knives.

If the current Fujia were to travel back in time, that dark Mage would be lucky to Fujia tricked, let alone assassinated. It must be said that Gustavo's education was indeed remarkably effective.

When Chief Webster noticed this change in Fujia, he immediately said, "This child is good; he will definitely amount to something in the future. We must nurture him greatly."

The First Elder approved of this, but the Second Elder, Balhak, a direct descendant of the Fujia, looked disgusted. He couldn't understand how his little brat had gone astray after just one trip.

Our Buffett family has always only shown its strength; how could you secretly grow a brain behind the elders' backs?

Webster and Baudelaire completely ignored Balhak. With their deliberate support, Fujia became the leader of the younger generation of the Serpent Ring Family. Later, he was even chosen by Logo to become Logo's personal guard and was responsible for building the Serpent Ring Family's territory on the Golden Star, while also serving as a hostage.

However, Logo trusted the Serpent Ring Family quite a bit, and every now and then he would send Fujia Ring Serpent away from Golden Star and back to Planet Pandora.

On one hand, it was to reassure the Serpent Ring Family; on the other hand, it was to help Logo gather intelligence on Planet Pandora, similar to the role of a special envoy.

The spaceship, codenamed Shadow Walker, sped through the vast expanse of Starry Sky, carrying Fujia, and successfully arrived at Planet Pandora.

Looking out the porthole at Planet Pandora, tens of thousands of ships of all kinds appeared, like a chaotic underwater current, yet bustling with activity.

Seeing this, Fujia an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "That's right. As news of the existence of the evil god spreads, the situation across the entire plane is becoming increasingly turbulent. Many civilizations and races have collapsed under the crisis, and countless people are fleeing. The atmosphere is tense and everyone is on edge. Planet Pandora is a lawless zone, so this scene is not surprising..."

The Freedom Docks on Planet Pandora are occupied by powerful forces such as the Arcane Ring and the Dark Council, and strict identity checks are required before landing.

Of course, this so-called identity check is actually a disguised way of collecting bribes. People who can escape into space definitely have a lot of money on them. If we don't plunder them at this time, wouldn't that be against Pandora's 'star design'?

The departing and arriving spaceships formed a long line in outer space. Fujia did not reveal his identity and, after paying a toll, successfully entered Planet Pandora.

Returning to the clan via the secret passage, Fujia noticed a stark contrast in the atmosphere. The once lively clan was now eerily quiet, filled with tension. Even when encountering clansmen, they would only exchange brief greetings before passing by.

Strong warriors could be seen patrolling throughout the tribe. They had serious expressions and rarely smiled. When they saw Fujia, they simply nodded slightly and said nothing more.

These changes made Fujia's heart sink; it seemed that the chaos on Planet Pandora was far beyond what had been predicted.

Ultimately, all the changes originate from the drastic shift in the dimensional situation. Anyone with a sound mind can sense the impending storm. In this situation, everyone is in danger, evil thoughts surge, and former law-abiding citizens quickly transform into villains, Slaughter and robbing each other, further exacerbating the turbulent situation.

There are even forces on the side of order secretly forming space pirate groups to rob and kill passing caravans and travelers, collecting resources to prepare for future crises.

Fujia recalled the various pirate groups and wanderers he had encountered along the way. He had never heard of many of these groups before, indicating that they were newly established.

As the security situation on the Elven Plane deteriorates, more and more space pirates will appear. Without the restraint of order, it is inevitable that villains will run rampant.

If there are too many villains, the situation will become even more tense. The actions of the Serpent Ring Family are just the tip of the iceberg, but they can still give us a glimpse into the overall situation in the Elven Plane.

"The situation is really bad. If this continues, won't the evil god be able to collect even more evil power..." Fujia shook his head and sighed. Having followed Logo, he knew far more inside information than the outside world.
