Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 32 The Despicable Method of "Marriage"

The Suzaku Street in Gomorrah is private property.

As his residence in the Mingguang Empire, Perseus bought all the manors in the area once he had the means, connected them together, and stationed many guards at each entrance.

These guards are very powerful.

Besides several ninth-level commanders at the cosmic level, some fourth- or fifth-level squad leaders at the cosmic level, even the weakest guards at the Hengxing ninth level are stationed on Suzaku Street.

With such a level of security, it's practically impossible for even a fly to get in.

So what did he discover now?

A group of people who clearly had little interaction with him were freely entering and leaving the manor, and they might have even been there multiple times.

Perseus turned his head and looked at the Silverwing Clan servants beside him.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Master, these are... people from the Canggu Royal Family."

The Silverwing youth who was leading the group was also a soul slave whose mind had been altered after being implanted with the "Soul-Binding Wood Silk". Upon seeing Perseus's anger, he immediately knelt down and said in fear and trepidation.

"The Ancient Royal Family?"

Perseus squinted, recalling information about the galaxy where Galer was located and the surrounding galaxies.

Galer Star belongs to the Mingguang Empire—this is based on the classification of a medium-level civilization in the universe.

From the perspective of a primitive civilization in the universe, Galer Star is an administrative planet under the Dielan Empire, located in the Goddess Star System, one of the nine star systems under the Dielan Empire.

As for the Canggu Empire, that's even further away!

Between it and the Die Lan Empire lies the Qing Ying Empire.

As a powerful empire with a World Lord in charge, the Canggu Empire holds a special position. It governs more than a hundred star systems and its industries cover various fields, making it one of the top forces in the Mingguang Empire.

But what is the relationship between the Canggu Empire and his "Spark Group"?

With a realm lord in charge, they dare to act wildly on his territory. Where does a realm lord who is said to be nearing the end of his life get his confidence from...?

Perseus turned to look at the street corner.

Swish!

He vanished in a blur, and then a terrifying pressure erupted rapidly on the other side of the street, carrying a hint of anger, and exploded in the ears of the newcomer.

"You came without warning? Do you think I'd be afraid of an ordinary, frail world lord? Your ancestor probably doesn't have much time left, does he?"

The intense flames continued to spread across the sky.

The red-haired, red-eyed figure hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the horrified ants in front of him before quickly locking onto a cosmic-level woman with tentacles on her head behind him.

She forced herself to look at Perseus, her arrogant expression vanishing quickly. Her pupils contracted even more when she realized that Perseus's aura seemed to have crossed a certain line.

"Peak Domain Lord? Or... Realm Lord?"

Although I had long anticipated that President Xinghuo's strength was extraordinary, how long has it been? He's already close to breaking through.

Immediately, Talia's attitude became humble.

"Greetings, President Xinghuo. My name is Talia, and I am the 15th generation descendant of the Ancient Realm Lord. I have come to Galer Star with a cooperative attitude..."

"Do you think I'm incapable of breaking through to the Realm Lord level?"

Perseus glanced up at her and immediately saw through her thoughts. What was this talk of respect? Wasn't bringing up the backing of a Realm Lord just to intimidate him? But so what if he was a Realm Lord...? Even a second or third-tier Realm Lord might not be able to defeat him.

Moreover, even if no one knows that he has the combat power of a Realm Lord, he is still a genuine Domain Lord. Sending a Universe-level expert just to see him is either arrogance or foolishness.

Surely you wouldn't send a cosmic-level being to discuss matters with any domain lord!

"I don't talk to ants, get lost—"

The crimson ribbon rolled forward swiftly like a soaring dragon, then quickly retracted.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

Instantly, cosmic and epoch-level beings were thrown heavily into the distance, while those with weaker strength were directly reduced to blood mist and burned into nothingness by the flames.

Those who were relatively stronger were mostly missing limbs.

Talia, who was under Perseus's special attention, was half-crippled and fell out like a tattered sack.

Once the unclean fellows were cleaned up, he flashed to a spot not far in front of the residence, looking at the group of servants still kneeling on the ground with a glint in his eyes.

"Tell me what these idiots are up to..."

"A bunch of outsiders with no real power base dare to act arrogantly in Gomorrah City, which is dominated by various forces. Even if they have a World Lord as their backer, they are still showing far too little respect for me."

……

Perseus led Zaxi to the study in the main courtyard.

Soon, he learned the whole story from Zaxi.

It all started with a war for control of a planet!

It turns out that these members of the Canggu Empire's royal family were initially eyeing the influence of the Castle Merchant Guild in the Qingying Empire.

With the collapse of the Castle Merchant Guild, well-informed hyenas naturally wanted a piece of the pie.

The Canggu Empire was the biggest and most foolish of them all.

They had a good relationship with the Qingying Empire, and occupying some unimportant planets was not considered an invasion of another country... The two empires had trade relations and even formed marriage alliances.

An rude guest set his sights on someone else's food.

Perseus's order was that Tor and his group could not give up any of the planets under the Castle Merchant Guild's name.

Naturally, Tor and his men found themselves facing off against two great empires.

Unfortunately, the Qingying Empire is not considered strong.

Even if Perseus, the leader, didn't make a move and was in seclusion somewhere, Qingying Monarch, who was related to the Canggu royal family by marriage, was only a fourth-level Domain Lord. With such strength, any one of the four of them, Tuo'er, could easily defeat him.

Of course, they weren't actually confident in defeating the Ancient Empire of the Upper Heaven.

The reason Perseus was able to remain calm even after incurring the wrath of his opponent was mainly because he had mastered the laws.

A domain lord who has mastered the laws can almost certainly break through to the realm lord level.

In contrast, the Canggu Empire is a "sick tiger" that is on the decline.

Their realm lord powerhouses are old and frail, and no new geniuses have emerged in the country to break through to realm lord status. Even if there are many domain lords, their deterrent power is not as great as before.

So although it was indeed the Canggu Empire that started it, now that things have really broken down, their attitude has become ambiguous again.

The Canggu Royal Family has given up!

In the end, the Qingying Empire was severely beaten and had to spit out many more planets.

But the Azure Shadow Monarch, who fled in a sorry state, didn't care at all.

He actually relayed a message on behalf of the Canggu Empire, saying that he wanted to arrange a marriage between a talented female powerhouse and Perseus. Unable to find out how to contact her, he started sending people to Gomorrah.

That Serbian guy actually had some ulterior motives.

Among the people he sent were not only members of the royal family of the Canggu Empire, but also his own granddaughter...

This guy wants to be the master's grandfather!

At this point, Zaxi couldn't help but glance at Perseus.

The latter's eyes were slightly lowered, and his fingers tapped the metal armrest of the chair beside him intermittently. He could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but Zaxi had a strange feeling that his master was angry.

"Master, what do you think about this arranged marriage...? Perhaps we should refuse them?"

"Of course we should refuse!"

Perseus couldn't help but laugh at Zaxi's idiotic thinking. "Is the Ancient Realm Lord getting more and more senile as he gets older?"

"I don't care if he's nearing the end of his life and worried that his incompetent descendants won't be able to hold onto the family business, or if he simply wants his old man to take over his crumbling empire."

"You come and go as you please on my turf... right? You've intimidated everyone in Gomorrah so much that no one dares to speak. If I hadn't come back, were you prepared to deal with me yourselves?"

"Master, didn't you say before that you were going into seclusion for a long time?"

Zaxi's voice grew softer and softer.

In fact, Perseus said not to be afraid of causing trouble.

How large a business must one have to cause trouble of the same degree?

Just like the Castle Merchant Guild, a domain lord power, with Perseus's strength, as long as he says he has his eye on this territory, most others will choose to give up out of respect for him.

Now look what's happened!

The entire city was terrified by the title of a realm lord, and they all turned into quails that dared not utter a sound...
