1130 17.57 Fourth Violet Star - Do G.o.ds even exist?
Meanwhile at the First Military Imperial School"s Forbidden Greenhouse...
Before the masked guy Chaos arrived from s.p.a.ce, this is what took place. The Imperium Star was changing, and Duke Gretel and the other Sentient Beings were aware of it. The fading presence that guided the hordes of Black Ant Zergs was perceptible to them.
Duke Claudius von Gretel mumbled, "The Ant Zerg Queen had been defeated. Adjutant Giselle must have made his move."
{The foe seemeth to best defeat"d. Thee nay longeth"r needeth our holp, humans.} The Old Oak Sentient Tree spoken.
Translation: [The enemy seems to be defeated. You no longer need our help, humans.]
Duke Claudius von Gretel spoke, "Of course! I am talking about the future troubles. The Zerg Race wouldn"t stop with an Invasion even after they failed this time. I hope the Seniors can help whenever the Imperium Star is invaded like this. As you have witnessed the Human Race is overall weaker and only a few of us were born with talent. The Grand Marshal is just one person, he cannot continue to protect the future generations."
{Thou art wrong. The younger gen"ration is eke stout. Those gents wouldn"t has"t survive if "t be true those gents didn"t has"t the shall to liveth.} The Old Oak Tree rebukes.
Translation: [You"re mistaken. The younger generation is also strong. They wouldn"t have survived if they didn"t have the will to live.]
"Human children wouldn"t be able to survive unless they were protected until they truly became strong. Didn"t you guys end up saving them in the end? Moreover, Yaya likes this little planet quite well or he wouldn"t have planted you guys here." Duke Claudius von Gretel said.
Jace Green von Imperlian, who was in the depths of the Greenhouse, was brought back here by the Old Pine Tree on the orders of the Ice Snow Lotus Blossom on the pond while the Duke of Gretel Clan and the Old Sentient Oak Tree were engaged in a standoff.
Thud! He fell directly in between the Duke and the Oak Tree.
"Ouchie~ can"t you guys put me down gently next time??!" The youngest prince complains.
As soon as he appeared, the Second Prince and Silvan von Rosegard approached him and helped him up. They pulled him away from the two Seniors who were having a conversation.
The Second Prince said, "You are truly here. Thank G.o.d you are alright. The Imperial Father would be glad to see you."
"Second Brother, why are you here? Were you looking for me? Though we almost died, Grandpa Oak, Little Bing"er and everyone saved us. They protected us all this time or we wouldn"t survive too." Jace Green von Imperlian said.
Suddenly, he raised his head to look at Duke Gretel. For some reason, he thought his friend Yara and this charming middle-aged man resembled one other a little. He enquired sincerely and without any ulterior motives.
Jace Green von Imperlian asked, "Uncle, do you know Yara? Why do you look a bit similar to my friend?"
"Your Youngest Highness, I am of the Gretel Clan and also Yaya"s Eldest Uncle. My name is Claudius von Gretel."
"Gretel? I"m sure I"ve heard that somewhere?" Jace Green von Imperlian mumbled. His subordinates walked up to their prince and gave him the solution in a low voice. The youngest prince, as was to be expected, couldn"t help but show his surprise at finally seeing the last Duke Clan that even the Royal Family couldn"t control. He had no idea that this tribe was related to his one and only friend, Yara.
Jace Green von Imperlian approached the duke fearlessly and asked, "Uncle, are you really a relative of Yara? Do you know where he is right now? I don"t know if he returned to the Imperium Star. If he does, wouldn"t he be in danger somewhere?"
"Don"t worry. Yaya had safely gone home. He hasn"t returned to the Imperium Star yet and should be safe with his family. Plus, the Grand Marshal should be with him." Duke Claudius von Gretel said. For some reason, he understands why his expressionless nephew ended up becoming friends with this young man.
Jace Green was relieved to hear this. He had the impression that he wasn"t a good friend ever since they had been split up in Planet Terra and he had come back to this Star alone. Even though he was aware of Yara"s strength, he couldn"t help but worry. The Human Race"s adversary is the Zerg Race. Upon first sight, they would either kill or seize humans.
The Second Prince asked, "By the way, where have you been? We didn"t see you the moment we arrived."
"I can"t say. I promise not to tell. Second Brother don"t ask, I will not say!" Jace Green von Imperlian said.
The second prince felt helpless towards this att.i.tude of his younger brother but it was because he is innocent and pure like this that his Aunt-in-law chose him as his only friend.
"Okay. I will not ask. But you have to come back with us, we need to return to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible. The Imperial Father should be worrying about us." The second prince said.
Jace Green von Imperlian asked worriedly, "What about the others? Are they going to leave with us? Can I just stay here? I made a promise to help with gardening since the Seniors saved our lives. I promise to do it until I die. Anyway, I am not interested in that throne and Dad couldn"t wait to give it away. Imperial Uncle also says to abolish it. I want to stay here and look after the greenhouse until Yara returns."
"But you are a prince! You can"t stay here for too long and there is still the Zerg Race outside the barrier." Silvan von Rosegard said. He couldn"t help but be concerned for this foolish young man who perished inexplicably as a result of the political struggles for the throne. Before he even finished high school, this boy was murdered by the crown prince"s people in a past life. He didn"t enjoy his life as a prince or as a young man as he died young.

"But you are a prince! You can"t stay here for too long and there is still the Zerg Race outside the barrier." Silvan von Rosegard said.

Before he even finished high school, this boy was murdered by the crown prince"s people in a past life. He didn"t enjoy his life as a prince or as a young man as he died young.
Jace Green von Imperlian frowned and pouted. He retorted, "Then I don"t want to be a prince anymore. I want to become a gardener! Or is it a farmer?"
The audience members who were standing a distance away couldn"t help but laugh when they heard the youngest prince make this declaration. Many commoners aspire to be princes, but this is the first time they"ve heard of a prince who wasn"t interested in being one.
The Second Prince scolded, "Don"t say foolish things! Even if you don"t want to become a prince, the Imperial Father long thought you were dead as you have been missing for quite a long time. At least show him that you are still alive."
As he was reprimanded, the youngest prince bowed his head and fled to hide behind the Old Oak Tree, which was currently speaking to the Duke. He was gazing at his younger sibling with teary red eyes and appeared to be being bullied.
Jace Green von Imperlian said, "No! Tell Dad to come here himself. I"m not leaving!"
When an exceedingly deadly aura descended on the planet, Claudius von Gretel and the other senior sentient beings in the vicinity stopped laughing at the situation between the brothers.
"What the h.e.l.l is this aura? Also, why are there so many Zergs!!"
---
The coming of Chaos and the Zerg Royalty pairings brought hopelessness to the human race. They had no idea that the Black Ant Zerg invasion we are currently experiencing is only the beginning. With just this wave of Zerg Ants, they were not only taken by surprise but also severely outnumbered. They were happy that the ant swarm issue had been handled, but these beings arrived in their world before they could rejoice. Suddenly and beyond their control, they were aware that they were already losing; how could they possibly compete with the numerous Zergs of the royal rank and the seemingly limitless variety of bugs in front of them?
As the others looked as if they had given up as they saw the world before they collapsed slowly but surely, Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian felt pressed by the event that was taking place in front of them.
"Who the h.e.l.l is this man? Why is he bringing these Zergs to our Planet?!" Exclaims the Emperor of Imperium Star.
Dean Frey von Gregory said, "This man is not a human nor a mortal. He is most likely a G.o.d-like existence."
"A G.o.d-like existence?! Impossible! Are you telling me G.o.ds truly exist.!?" Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian said in disbelief. The knowledge and acknowledgment of the presence of G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses had been forgotten in history for those of us from the contemporary and futuristic age.
The Human Race of this globe doesn"t believe in the existence of G.o.ds because they have survived for a very long period in the face of alien races without any help from the so-called G.o.ds. The Emperor didn"t completely deny the existence of G.o.ds, despite his own peculiar feelings about it. The man in front of their eyes was undoubtedly not a human. To believe is to see. He was forced to acknowledge the reality of G.o.ds who resembled humans after realizing the pandemonium that was unfolding in front of him.
Of course, his questions were filled with rage and helplessness, unlike the group of dejected people next to him. He found it hard to imagine that someone with a human-like appearance would command these bugs to wipe out their human kind. Furthermore, it is a G.o.d. Simply said, it is unjust and unfair. How is it possible for him to act in such a way if he is either G.o.d or a human?
As the man arrived on their world, Dean Frey von Gregory had a very somber expression. This time, he sprang out of the window without hesitation and took off toward the Main Palace. In front of those mortals, who were now staring at him in astonishment, he floated.
Chaos noticed Dean Frey von Gregory looking at him with a look of disbelief and the corner of his lips curled in entertainment. "No wonder those ants fail to enter the Imperial Palace. A Warden is protecting this place~"
One of the six humanoid Zergs beside the beautiful masked man asked, "A Warden? What does the Lord mean?"
"It means an existence that needed three of you to work together just to keep him busy. Either way, these wardens are incapable of dying as they could be revived multiple times unless their masters are dead. You wouldn"t be able to kill this one as its master is connected to me. The other one is still possible." Chaos replied mischievously.
Another humanoid Zerg asked, "Which other human?" Before he could react Chaos pushed him away, despite that he was still a bit late as one of the humanoid Zerg"s arms was cut off.
Chaos observes the foolish humanoid Zerg lose an arm and smiles while remaining indifferent. Adjutant Kir von Giselle, who had just given an urgent message to his Lord and had come back to the royal palace to check on him, is the one who secretly launched the attack. He planned to ambush a high-level Zerg in order to kill it, but he wasn"t prepared for the masked man to abruptly push the Zerg and let it live.
As he realized that he had lost his prey, he couldn"t help but click his tongue. He leaped aside and moved over to his lover"s side. They only focused on the man with the menacing aura and the mask over his face, not the Humanoid Zergs. The bugs can be readily eliminated whenever they feel like it.
Dean Frey von Gregory walked towards his lover and asked, "Are you alright?"
"No wounds. Don"t worry." Adjutant Kir von Giselle said.
Dean Frey von Gregory whispered, "Are we going to fight? We can"t defeat him."
"I"ve already contacted the Lord G.o.d. He should be on his way. I"ll activate a high-level barrier instead." Adjutant Kir von Giselle pulled out a scroll from his inventory. It"s a high-grade barrier that can block even the G.o.ds.
The energy emanating from that scroll felt incredibly familiar to Chaos. It has an aura resembling his but is more powerful. It appears that the Warden had redeemed a Vearth-made defensive scroll, something that Lord Hei made for amus.e.m.e.nt. The scroll emits a powerful aura of life and death, and as it does so, a thin barrier that barely shields the Main City and Imperial Palace becomes wider.
Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian asked, "What"s with this barrier? How can it be so thick!? Moreover, who the h.e.l.l is that man leading the Zergs?"
"Please don"t ask questions. That being is neither a Zerg nor a mortal." Dean Frey von Gregory said with a grim expression.
One of the ministers asked, "If he is not a Zerg or a Human, are you trying to say he is a G.o.d? Do G.o.ds even exist?!"
