Lilith froze in place.

Dalton?

Isn't that quite far from here?

"What exactly is going on? Explain it in detail!"

Upon hearing the news related to Dalton, Lilith became slightly agitated.

She had been away from home for so long, and to say she didn't miss it would be a lie.

She missed Tina's desserts and Morris' jewelry...

Seeing Lilith's anxious expression, Fiona hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Lady, Dalton has expanded its influence into the neighboring starfields."

"Marshal Elizabeth's army has been advancing rapidly, and I heard she even hired a mysterious strategic advisor to assist."

Lilith was silent for a long time after hearing this.

It seemed it was time for her to return and take a look.

But then she thought again. Perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad idea for Dalton to come closer.

At least it would bring them closer to home!

Once this thought took root in her mind, it quickly began to flourish.

"Mom, I want to go back to Dalton for a while."

Lilith directly stated her intentions to Hathaway.

Hathaway was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

A hint of concern flickered in her eyes.

"Lilith, is it because you're not comfortable here? Or is there something I haven't done well enough?"

She was worried that it was her inability to provide Lilith with enough warmth and companionship that made her want to leave.

However, Lilith immediately shook her head in denial.

"No, Mom, everything here is perfect."

"I just simply want to go back and check on things. Since Dad has already left, I'm a little concerned about Dalton."

Upon hearing this, Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief, gently brushing Lilith's hair.

"I see. Do you want me to accompany you back?"

"No, Mom, you're busy. I can go back on my own."

Lilith quickly said.

Her mother was always busy with work, and she didn't want to burden her plans.

At that moment, Fiona spoke up at the right time.

"Don't worry, Lady. I'll be with her..."

Lilith glanced at her without hesitation.

"You? Are you even human?"

Fiona: ...

Lilith and Fiona set off on their journey to return to Dalton Town.

Meanwhile,

On the border of the Zisen Starfield, a solitary figure appeared out of nowhere.

He gazed at the magnificent barrier in front of him, composed of complex runes and energy, with no expression on his face. He simply raised his fist and, with a powerful punch, struck it!

Boom—!

The terrifying force struck the barrier with the might of a starry river, creating a deafening explosion. The once impenetrable barrier instantly cracked, and then shattered into countless light particles.

"Arrogant!!"

A roar echoed from the void.

The next moment, a middle-aged general, clad in secret silver starborn armor, appeared instantly, his overwhelming Sanctuary Lord rank aura fully released, attempting to intimidate the intruder.

"Breaking into Zisen Sanctuary! Are you looking for death?!"

The general's eyes were cold as they locked onto the figure.

The figure only smiled indifferently, his tone calm but exuding an irksome arrogance.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just here to see if there's anyone here who can push me to use my full strength."

Upon hearing this, Robert froze.

How has such an arrogant person survived this long?!

"Heh... hehe, do you even know what you're saying?"

He laughed angrily, thinking the person in front of him was either a madman or a fool.

However, his smile immediately froze on his face.

The figure, who had been standing in front of him, had somehow already ghosted past him and was walking deeper into the Zisen Starfield, completely ignoring him.

"Seeking death!"

Robert felt humiliated.

With a loud roar, he transformed into a silver lightning bolt, charging towards the intruder's back with the momentum to crush starborn.

Facing this terrifying blow, which could severely injure a typical Sanctuary Lord rank, the figure didn't even look back. He simply swung his fist casually.

"What?!!"

The general's mind was rocked!

Supreme Sanctuary rank!

Moreover, the concentration of battle intent... this was a God of War!!

This was the last thought before his consciousness plunged into darkness.

Boom!

The dull thud of impact echoed.

The general was sent flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing into the void.

Before he lost consciousness, he understood that the other party had held back at the last moment.

In the Empire's Imperial City.

Several powerful auras, dormant deep within the Empire, were instantly awakened.

The terrifying mind power rushed toward the border region.

A God of War's presence!

So pure and domineering!

What faction does this power belong to?!

A shadowy figure, as deep as an abyss, appeared to be strolling in his own backyard, slowly heading toward the heart of the Empire.

It was Albert!

After leaving Dalton, he had been wandering through the starfields, looking for an opponent who could provide him with some challenge.

Yet so far, he had not encountered anyone who truly excited him, nor anyone capable of withstanding even a third of his strength.

"Sigh..."

The familiar loneliness surged within him once more.

Without opponents of equal strength, how could his rank break through its current limits and reach a higher pinnacle?

Buzz—!

Just as his thoughts drifted, the space in front of him silently tore apart.

A man, dressed in black bone armor, stepped out from the rift in space, exuding a cold, deathly aura.

"God of War?"

The man in black spoke with a voice like cold wind.

Albert nodded, a glimmer of battle intent in his eyes.

"Let's have a spar."

"Gladly."

The man in black answered succinctly.

The next moment, the two terrifying Supreme Sanctuary rank auras collided like two stars crashing into one another!

Crack!

Boom!

The surrounding space couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure and began to shatter on a massive scale!

The entire Zisen Starfield felt the collision and friction of these two powerful forces.

Inside the Empire.

Countless mages and knights gazed up in fear at the sky, watching the two figures confronting each other like gods and demons.

"Is this... what it's like to stand at the pinnacle of power?"

"Terrifying! Just their presence makes my soul tremble!"

"Who is the one in black?"

Someone asked in a trembling voice.

"That's Robert, the leader of the Royal Shadow Guard!"

An expert with extensive knowledge answered.

Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped.

The Royal Shadow Guard, the legendary Empire's sharp blade, and its leader was incredibly mysterious, rarely ever stepping forward.

Because in the known starfields, almost no faction had the strength to threaten the Empire's core.

But now the threat had arrived!

And it was a living God of War who had entered the Supreme Sanctuary rank!

Watching Albert stand face to face with Robert, many hidden powerhouses within the Empire wore solemn expressions.

"Didn't expect such a powerful being to be hidden within the Starsea..."

"A God of War at Supreme Sanctuary rank... A legendary existence from the epics. We're actually witnessing it today."

"Let's see if Lord Robert can handle this. It'll be a good chance for us to see just how strong the legendary God of War really is!"
