Chapter 490: Three-Part Return Star
Bolvar fell silent. Now was not the era of ancient feudal dynasties. Loyalty might exist, but it was mixed with many other considerations.
Behind every lifeform present were complex, spiderweb-like forces and interests, mixed and intertwined together. The people standing here were merely the interest representatives they elected.
And the Return Star Royalty was similarly the interest representative for this group of people.
The existence of the Imperial Family had subtly influenced the hearts of every Return Star Citizen for a very long time.
If they wanted to completely abolish them, it would definitely trigger an unpredictable riot, but it was not impossible to push through.
Especially in this period after the end of this great war. This period of time was originally supposed to be turbulent and restless anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to add some more fuel to the fire.
Bolvar suddenly realized that the Imperial Family had at some point reached the edge of a cliff. Taking one more step forward, they would very likely fall into the Land of Eternal Perdition.
Vimala's eyelids twitched slightly. She didn't want to go to the step of publicly electing a Grand President either, otherwise who knows what kind of variables would arise then.
"Return Star can only be ruled by the Imperial Family, and must be ruled by the Imperial Family!" She spoke, looking down at the numerous High Echelon below, making some people's hearts chill slightly and extinguishing some thoughts that shouldn't exist.
Vimala's words made everyone somewhat surprised. With such a good opportunity delivered right in front of this Queen, it was impossible for her to decline.
Meanwhile, Titus's expression had already tended towards plainness; he had already guessed what would happen next.
"Therefore, Titus can serve as the Minister of State, assisting from the side to help Klein restore Return Star's basic operations in a short period of time."
Minister of State. This was an ancient title. In the current Return Star, Citizens could only find this name in history books.
It originated from a title in a dynasty established by Return Star on a certain planet in its early days.
Because the monarch was young, they needed someone to assist from the side. And this was tantamount to Vimala's concession.
If Titus couldn't obtain any benefits in this meeting, then after the meeting ended, I'm afraid wars would break out all over Return Star.
Titus's prestige could not be underestimated. That was personally cultivated by Digor.
Therefore, Vimala chose to take a step back and revive the title of Minister of State, which could be considered giving Titus a reluctant sense of dignity.
At the same time, it also gave Titus hope for a comeback from a desperate situation.
It was just that Vimala immediately followed up by saying: "And Alexei, who has unique insights on certain matters, can serve as Titus's Deputy."
The expressions of the numerous High Echelon changed again. Any Discerning Person could see that this so-called Deputy was used to moderate the direct conflict between Klein and Titus.
But even so, this was a high and powerful position, just given to Alexei for free?
Alexei raised an eyebrow lightly. His pestering and unreasonable behavior finally wasn't in vain. Vimala is still formidable after all...
Behind Alexei was the support of the Salvation Ark, which was also a force that could not be underestimated.
Vimala roped in Alexei through this method to become a force that balanced Titus and Klein.
Just like that, after the war ended, the largest piece of the cake finished its distribution.
Although Klein became the Empress, two Ministers of State were inexplicably added.
Titus's prestige spread across the entirety of Return Star. The majority of Star System Governors were Titus's supporters.
Strictly speaking, his power was far greater than Klein's and Vimala's.
The people Vimala painstakingly tried to rope in were not even as many as the people who came to join Titus while he stayed in the Central Star System.
As for Alexei, this guy was just a Mascot. His internal power in Return Star could be said to be close to nil.
Yet inexplicably, he could obtain the support of the Salvation Ark.
Overall, Return Star could be considered divided into three parts. Li Yu watched coldly from the sidelines and did not voice any opinions on this proposal.
He also understood that rather than letting Titus cause trouble in the dark, it was better to put him in the light like this.
Otherwise, what awaited Return Star next would inevitably be a turbulent civil war.
As for the idea of getting rid of Titus, he hadn't even thought about it. Leaving aside his supporters,
Just this Bolvar in front of him might perform a live show of dying to repay the monarch's grace.
When the scene got out of control then, it would be troublesome.
This current situation could already be considered the optimal solution.
Bolvar's eyes flickered. Klein as the primary, Titus as the auxiliary; this was a moderating tactic.
As for whether Titus would make Klein a figurehead next, or Klein would counter Titus, those were all political tactics and wouldn't involve weapons.
This woman Vimala... Digor indeed judged correctly.
"The Queen's arrangement is very appropriate." Titus nodded. He knew that with the existence of this God of the Force, it was fundamentally impossible for him to become Return Star's new ruler.
This current result was already the absolute Bottom Line acceptable to all parties.
He also didn't want to start a civil war. To some extent, that would also damage his own interests.
And he also understood that the reason Vimala proposed this was that she was confident in completely suppressing him in the upcoming struggles.
And her confidence came from this person before her—the God of the Force!
Li Yu!
In a daze, that person's smile surfaced before Titus's eyes again.
Where exactly did Klein get the luck to pick up such a figure?
Moreover, why was Li Yu willing to put all his effort into helping him?
Is it merely because of Klein's appearance?
Titus couldn't figure it out.
Just like that, matters reached an agreement. Li Yu's biggest goal was also accomplished, and he prepared to leave this place.
The rest were just trivial matters, and he couldn't be bothered to participate in them.
"The subsequent matters are all Return Star's internal affairs. It's not good for me to interfere, so I'll be leaving first." "Elton" stood up and said.
Hearing this sentence, Titus had a motherfucking phrase in his heart, not knowing if he should say it.
What you just interfered with was Return Star's biggest internal affair!
"Wait, Your Excellency God of the Force..." Vimala hastily called out.
"Oh, is there something else?" Li Yu cast a questioning gaze at Vimala.
"Please come with me..." Vimala faced everyone's gazes and said slowly.
The two obviously wanted to speak privately. Although the numerous High Echelon were somewhat curious, they could only pretend to have indifferent expressions.
Bolvar frowned tightly and Hesitated to Speak. What kind of price did Vimala pay to be able to invite the Other-Dimensional Camp to take action?
This made him very worried...
He wasn't worried that Vimala would give Digor a Green Hat. A lifeform of that tier definitely wouldn't take action for this kind of reason.
What he worried about was that Vimala would cede too many of Return Star's interests.
The two stepped into the Command Center and turned on the anti-eavesdropping equipment. Elton was also relatively tall, looking down at this Queen.
She wore a black Combat Suit, clearly specially made. Golden Threads outlined various patterns on the Combat Suit, making it extraordinarily luxurious.
Although she was seventy to eighty percent similar to Klein, her temperament was completely different.
"Your Excellency, is the trade still what we discussed before?"
Vimala inquired carefully. Previously, the price they agreed upon for him to take action was the Star Throne. That was Digor's throne, and also a precious Titan Artifact.
It was just that at that time, she had absolutely no idea the other party's Strength would be this terrifying, and that he would help them so proactively.
Now, merely paying the Star Throne was obviously not quite enough to look at.
"I want God's Throne." Li Yu also wasn't polite. Although his intervention this time also had his own interests in some aspects,
But now that he had the opportunity for Milking, he definitely had to grasp it.
He arrived relatively late and wasn't entirely clear about the whole incident. He didn't know exactly what this God's Throne was either.
But The Council seemed to have come for this thing, so naturally he would graciously accept it.
As expected... Vimala's heart sank slightly. The other party's goal was also God's Throne.
It was just that The Council used an offensive method to obtain it, while the other party used a helping method to obtain it.
"If it's God's Throne, there might be some trouble..." Vimala raised her head slightly, her posture fully like a noble lady, and said: "That thing is guarded very closely by a few Old geezers."
"None of the known records mention this thirteenth Divine Throne. It might contain a great secret."
"You can't get it?" Li Yu asked in return, his gaze fixed on Vimala.
Vimala's heart tightened slightly. Although this Man before her currently had Elton's appearance, he was actually an incalculably great lifeform.
She pondered for a moment, her expression firm as she said: "Give me some time, and I will present it to you."
"Mm." Only then did Li Yu nod in satisfaction.
"It's just that, looking at the current situation, it is difficult for me to mobilize the vast majority of the Imperial Family's power. I'm afraid I will need some external help." Vimala said with a slight hint of suggestion.
Titus had Bolvar behind him, while Vimala lacked power of a corresponding tier. This would cause her to naturally be at a disadvantage in the upcoming confrontations.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and bowed slightly. Vimala's pretty face gradually magnified in his eyes: "I thought you understood that this is not a new trade."
This woman Vimala is quite bold, actually wanting to use God's Throne to make a second trade with him.
Although the other party didn't have any substantial Aura on him, she still felt a sense of oppression rushing against her face.
This was all formed because the previous battle scenes made Vimala Overthinking.
"I understand..." Vimala lowered her head and explained: "I am requesting your help."
"Raise your head..." Li Yu's emotionless voice entered Vimala's ears. She subconsciously clenched her hands, then slowly raised her head and met Li Yu's gaze.
Li Yu's eyes were cold: "If you make a request, you must have the attitude of making a request. Do not play your little tricks in front of me."
Vimala felt an indescribable humiliation in her heart, yet also vaguely felt a kind of throbbing. This was an extremely contradictory feeling she had never experienced before.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Her cold and glamorous cheeks tightened as she replied.
"When Li Yu returns, you can use the power of the Death Star to balance the current situation." Li Yu only then said.
Death Star?
Vimala's mind stirred. Wasn't the Death Star that Interstellar Fortress?
What she needed was power to resist Bolvar, and it was impossible for this lifeform before her not to know. Although she was confused, she didn't open her mouth to ask.
"I should leave." Li Yu didn't plan to continue talking with Vimala. If his true body were here, he could have collected some interest.
Unfortunately, he was currently descending using Elton's body.
"Also... give this piece of thing to you. When Li Yu returns, pass it on to him." Li Yu brought out the only relic Digor left behind—
A Gray Substance the size of a baby's head.
Vimala took this thing. Before she could examine it carefully, she noticed Li Yu turning around and preparing to leave. She hastily asked:
"How should I contact you, still using the previous contact method?"
"You can contact me through Li Yu." Li Yu left a sentence, then walked out of here and bid farewell to everyone.
The numerous High Echelon of Return Star stood up one after another, their demeanor respectful, expressing their gratitude once again. Even Titus was the same.
Although the current result was not what he wanted, if the person before them hadn't intervened, they probably would have already gone into exile by now.
Bolvar was also among them, his expression complex.
Li Yu nodded and closed his eyes. Then Elton opened his eyes, his mouth still continuing to say: "Li Yu is the biggest villain, last time I... huh?"
He was somewhat bewildered. He clearly remembered talking with Princess Imperial in the Supreme Court. What is this place?
His face gradually turned terrified. It happened again, the situation where his body was out of control.
"Take him out and keep him under strict guard. No mistakes are allowed to occur." Titus said coldly.
Bolvar immediately took action, directly knocking him out and tossing him to the guards, who took him outside.
"...There are still many things that need to be discussed, let us begin..." Vimala walked out, her expression indifferent, looking as if nothing had happened.
The High Echelon took their seats and continued to discuss. The biggest piece of the cake had been divided, but there were still other cakes.
………
At the same time, far away in No Man's Land, Li Yu, who was standing In the starry sky, suddenly opened his eyes and felt waves of dizziness.
That was the manifestation of The Force being almost exhausted. After all, when the item's time ended, the Force consumed by the remote descent was all counted on him.
"You..." Horus was bewildered and uncertain, somewhat unsure who exactly the person before him was?
"Old Man Horus, can't recognize me anymore?" Li Yu teased.
This made Horus sigh in relief. It seemed Li Yu had returned.
"Earlier, that was..." Horus inquired tentatively.
"That was the God of the Force, I mentioned him to you before." Li Yu said casually.
Horus had a strange expression on his face, momentarily not knowing how to reply. You did mention him to me before, but you didn't mention he would be this strong.
Shaking his head, Horus continued: "Since you've awakened, let's also leave as soon as possible. It's not quite peaceful here."
"During the few hours you were silent, quite a few detection devices approached here. They were all sent back by the factions that fled earlier."
"Mm, we indeed should leave, let's return to Return Star." Li Yu also said.
"Return Star..." Mentioning this topic, Horus appeared much more melancholy: "I don't know how Return Star is doing. The war should have already started."
Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, it's already been resolved. Digor died, and Klein ascended to the position of Empress."
Horus suddenly widened his eyes. The amount of information in this sentence was too much. For a moment, he didn't even react.
