"Four months ago, I received an order from former President Leoz, instructing me to go to the Snow World Civilization to investigate the matter of the heir to the throne, Xue Yi."

Dialan said in a deep voice:

"However, when I got there, I found that Xue Yi was not the crown prince at all; it was his sister, Xue Ling."

"This shouldn't be anything strange, right?" The Crown Prince touched his chin, seemingly knowing something but deliberately not saying it.

"No, this is precisely the key."

Dialan said seriously:

"It was only after my interviews and visits that I learned some insider information: Xue Yi was stripped of the crown prince title."

"The reason?"

"Summoning the Evil God."

"... Are you kidding?"

"It was Lievice, that Evil God, Xue Ling told me that Xue Yi was extremely obsessed with Her. He was probably corrupted by Lievice near the Eye of the Galaxy. Ever since he met Lievice, Xue Yi was troubled and mired in depravity. To meet his beloved elder sister in his heart, he was bewitched by the Evil God and orchestrated a ritual."

Dialan said in a deep voice:

"However, according to Xue Ling, that ritual failed. The Evil God was not summoned. Xue Yi was arrested and stripped of the crown prince title—that is the entirety of the events."

"Now that you've finished, it's my turn to speak."

Mistofen held his thermal cup, blew on the hot tea, and said:

"Do you know that the Snow World Civilization has been annihilated?"

"... I guess it was before Lievice's descent, right?"

"Even earlier, it happened on your way from the Snow World Civilization to the Empire, the Snow World Civilization met its destruction."

Mistofen said:

"The Evil God indeed descended."

"But the one that came was not the beautiful Lievice, but a hideous sinister monster."

"Based on intelligence collected by the Empire, the ritual that Lievice tempted him to perform was not to summon Lievice herself, but to communicate with other Evil Gods in the Mass Abyss."

"Driven by that little ghost's lust, 112 Evil Gods from the depths of Starry Abyss are continuously rising through that ritual from the penal place of Mass Abyss, and it's their true selves, not projections."

"Lievice deceived that gullible little ghost, She is the Evil God, the 'Woman of Depravity,' never changed."

"These things we already know."

Mistofen looked at Dialan:

"The Empire's strength and intelligence network are far stronger than you know, and the corporation's information collection capability is only stronger than ours. What do you think you can offer to help the Empire?"

Dialan calmly looked into the Crown Prince's eyes and said:

"I can call back Leoz."

"Can one Leoz change the situation?"

"No."

Dialan said:

"But Leoz can mobilize tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of Descenders."

"For both the Empire and the corporation, you do not dare to fight a war with Society outside the Inherent Time Domain, because your narrative comes from the power of the population. Once you suffer large-scale population loss, the Inherent Time Domain cannot be sustained."

"However, those Undead can."

"Leoz has a very strong appeal among the Descenders. As long as I can meet Leoz, I can bring him back."

"And Leoz can bring you the world's most fearless and brave Catastrophe Legion."

"The conditions?"

Mistofen did not immediately agree but asked:

"Now is wartime, plus the silent disconnection issue with Underwater Abyss Port, sending a person to Lower Starry Abyss especially is not easy for the Empire."

"I can also bring you the returns of the Border Abyss."

Dialan said:

"Leoz brought a colonial ship to the Border Abyss, and by now a stronghold must have been established. In the future, the Empire can set up embassies, ports, and gathering areas nearby."

"That's not enough." Mistofen said, "I can tell you, unless you want to dive through Wild Port and then be teleported to an unknown location, at this point in time, to send a person accurately and safely to Lower Starry Abyss, it takes at least 4 million Ammonium Gold."

Dialan looked towards Cynthia: "How much do we have left?"

"200,000." Cynthia said bitterly: "That was support from the Empire for the Exile Government to pay our wages..."

Dialan looked at the Crown Prince:

"You can set any condition, if not, I can still produce; the bloodline of the Dragon Titan should still be worth some money."

"We are imperialists, not capitalists, not so calculating, and to us, you are not important."

Mistofen shook his head, approached Dialan, and said deeply:

"We want Leoz to join the Empire."

"I can't do that." Dialan immediately shook his head, "Let me think... Mrs. Merid might be able to pay?"

"You don't understand what I mean, Prime Minister."

"I understand, I really understand, you want former President Leoz to join the Empire, that's your fundamental purpose, you came for him."

Dialan righteously refused:

"I can't do that, nor do I want to do that, and I don't have the ability to decide for him. Leoz is a free man, he renounced his nationality, and most of his assets were left to his countrymen; I have no way to constrain or order him."

"Hmm... I knew it would be like this."

Mistofen touched his chin:

"Then this is troublesome. The Empire has already supported you a lot, you know, we are an imperialist narrative, if donations continue like this, the domestic people will not be satisfied."

"That's easy to solve."

Dialan said frankly:

"Cynthia, go find a surrogate company now."

Mistofen curled his lips:

"I think it's not necessary for you to go to this extent for a man."

"Your Highness, this is not for a man. My country is gone, my people are now yours, my government is yours, even if there is a surrogate, the child born belongs to your Empire, strictly speaking, I am serving your Empire."

Dialan's sharp and witty words made Mistofen laugh. He pointed at Dialan, then folded his arms, shook his head, lowered his arms, looked at Dialan, and couldn't help but laugh again.

"I don't know how to say it, Leoz is fortunate to have a wise partner like you for several lifetimes."

"Your Highness, we are just in a superior-subordinate relationship. Just like with you."

Dialan said calmly:

"I'll be honest, my purpose for being born into this world is to hunt down the Secret Society. My father, or rather creator, was the Doctor Senator who betrayed the Secret. In essence, I am a weapon designed to absorb the Secret's Poison Blood. This is my mission."

"I have no personal will, even if I did, Baizhu Star is gone, and so I am."

"If you are willing to help me, then whether it's to be a breeding machine for the Empire or a killing machine, I will cooperate wholeheartedly."
