But Duanmu Huai is unwilling to do such a thing, for one, he is naturally impatient and can't handle the kind of waiting game like this. He can't even fish patiently; if the fish didn't bite, he'd just throw in a thermite bomb. Having Duanmu Huai do something like this is no different from being in prison as far as he's concerned.

Plus, Duanmu Huai knows the corrective nature of history, so what if he stays here? Who knows, maybe he has to go to another planet to use the bathroom or something, and when he gets back, Cadia's already blown up. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Duanmu Huai already has enough trouble dealing with the Evil God, he doesn't want to also face the corrective force of time, that would just be looking for trouble.

Besides, Duanmu Huai feels that he has already done enough this time.

In the original game history, Cadia was blown up because humans didn't know enough about the Blackstone Obelisk from the Space Undead, and didn't understand the true purpose of these alien artifacts. By the time they figured it out, it was too late, and they no longer had the strength to protect everything.

But it's different now, humans have understood the importance of the Obelisk on Cadia to the Eye of Fear, and the Subspace Storm has dissipated, the Imperial reinforcements are already on the way. If they still lose like this, then Duanmu Huai can't help it.

That's just fate, what else can be done?

After all, the Tribunal protects humans, not the Empire.

As for another reason Duanmu Huai doesn't plan to stay here too long—he plans to find an old friend to catch up.

Although Abaddon is dead, the main force attacking Cadia has retreated, but the Black Crusade has not ended here. Duanmu Huai knows that in the game's history, Abaddon also dispatched a large fleet to Makulag to launch an attack on the Limit Warriors. Makulag is in crisis right now, so Duanmu Huai plans to go to Makulag.

Of course, he can't go alone, but Duanmu Huai has long thought of hitching a ride.

So he found... the Great Sage Dolakor.

"...You want me to take you to Makulag?"

The Mechanical Sage gazed at Duanmu Huai with its crimson eyes, scanning him up and down, with a mix of surprise and uncertainty. Although the Great Sage's role in this battle wasn't massive, it wasn't small either. In fact, one of the reasons the Black Fleet retreated was because the Great Sage successfully repaired and activated the Blackstone Obelisk, once again isolating the influence of subspace. This left the Black Legion completely without support from the subspace, and combined with Abaddon's death, they could only flee in a panic, leaving Cadia to hide back into the Eye of Fear.

Kor, who crawled from the underground, did not witness the front-line battle firsthand, but he also heard about Duanmu Huai's heroic deeds — not to mention anything else, just killing Abaddon, the enemy of the Empire, single-handedly was shocking enough.

"That's right."

Looking at the Mechanical Sage in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I plan to visit an old friend in Makulag. Aren't you going to Makulag too? Take me along, won't you?"

"Why... does Your Excellency know I'm going to Makulag?"

"Do you really need to ask?"

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Aren't you going to take the Fate Armor to Makulag to get Kiriman back up? I'm just going to watch the show, what's the problem? Not taking me?"

"How would you know ————!!"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's nonchalant answer, Kor was shaken to his core, almost frying his CPU!

A long time ago, Kor had made an agreement with Kiriman, who once said to Kor that one day he would die on the battlefield (indicating that Kiriman was quite aware of his solo fighting skills), so he hoped Kor would wake him. After that, for a whole ten thousand years, Kor tried everything he could think of, ultimately creating the Fate Armor.

Actually, Kor's original itinerary was to go to Makulag to awaken Kiriman. This time, coming to Cadia was completely unexpected because, compared to Kiriman's awakening, curbing the Eye of Fear was evidently more important. So Kor decided to let Kiriman sleep a little longer in the stasis field until he solved the troubles of Cadia.

Kor always kept his secret guarded very carefully, but what he didn't expect was that his secret of ten thousand years would be casually revealed by this Great Judge in front of him!

"Alright, just say if you'll take me; Makulag is still being attacked by the Black Legion, there is no time to waste here."

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, staring at the Mechanical Sage in front of him. The reason he wanted to intervene in this matter was, on one hand, to visit Kiriman, on the other, Duanmu Huai intends to slightly alter history a bit.

According to the game's plot, after Cadia was blown open, Kor took the Fate Armor and fled all the way, while the Black Fleet chased relentlessly. But then a group of Spirit race appeared, helping Kor fend off the pursuers, and led them to escape through the Net Path, eventually reaching Makulag.

However, in fact, this group of Spirit race wasn't anything good, their only purpose in saving Kor and others was hoping that humans would act as the Spirit race's targets, helping them fend off the increasingly fierce Chaos tide. Following this, the Spirit race became involved in Kiriman's resurrection and successfully established contact with him.

The Spirit race's Death God Army's Divine Envoy, Evelyn, was even jokingly called the Regent Queen by the players due to this cooperation with Kiriman — eh, unfaithful, shoot.

As Kiriman's friend, Duanmu Huai certainly won't allow Kiriman to embark on the path of desecration and heretical cooperation with aliens.

The Spirit race is not Subhumans!

Although in the game, players often associate Elves with the Spirit race, and indeed there were some commonalities, they aren't entirely the same.

Take Frieren for example, aside from her long ears, her skull isn't that different from humans.

But the Spirit race is different, their skulls are the kind that are squashed and elongated, long and narrow like a horse's face, nothing like the sacred purity of a human skull.

So, the Spirit race is entirely alien, not Subhumans with just elongated ears like Elves.

Thus, Duanmu Huai decided to stick close to Kor this time to avoid the Spirit race from drawing Kiriman in.

As for Evelyn?

Seeing her get smashed into Renee-chan is fine.

Kor, of course, didn't understand Duanmu Huai's thoughts, he stared at Duanmu Huai, falling into silence. But his flickering electronic eyes indicated that this Great Sage was plunged into deep thought at the moment.

Reject, accept, calculating the probability of action based on the target's actions and personality and the possibility of deploying force should the target erupt...

Likelihood of suppression failure 98%, likelihood of successful suppression less than 1%.

Conclusion reached.

Ultimately, the Great Sage gazed at Duanmu Huai and silently bowed his head.
