Chapter 1263: The Prince's Safe Return is a Major Event for the Luoke Imperium

"I am asking you a question!"

Kesi stood up and walked two steps toward her.

"Who are you? Did Sanguinius send you? Is he too afraid to come and see this prince himself?"

y-7 still did not speak.

Kesi's rage was ignited.

"You lowly Human! How dare you ignore this prince?! Do you know who I am? I am the third heir to the twenty-fourth Emperor of the Luoke Imperium!! You mongrels aren't even fit to tie our shoes!"

y-7 finally spoke.

"I know who you are."

Her voice was calm, without any emotion.

Kesi was stunned for a moment.

"You know? Knowing that, you still dare to look at me like this?"

y-7 took a step forward.

"Kesi, you will soon be no one at all."

Kesi's pupils contracted slightly.

"You... what do you mean?"

y-7 did not answer.

She simply raised her right hand and revealed a Star God Phase Sword.

Kesi's eyes widened.

"You... you dare to kill me? My imperial father will dispatch troops! He will slaughter all of you! You lowly..."

The piercing of the blade cut off his words.

Kesi looked down at his own chest.

His biological carapace was as good as non-existent before the Star God Phase Sword.

"You... you..."

His four eyes widened to the limit, filled with disbelief.

He staggered backward, hit the wall, and then slowly slid down, sitting on the ground.

y-7 walked up to him and looked down at him.

"You... you are insane..."

Kesi's voice was intermittent.

"My imperial father... will... will make you... pay the price..."

y-7 did not answer.

She began to change.

Kesi's eyes widened even further.

He saw that ordinary Human face begin to twist.

Bones clicked and popped, and the skin color deepened.

Her height began to increase, and her body was covered in a thick biological carapace.

A few seconds later, standing before him was another Kesi.

The exact same face, the exact same eyes, the exact same arrogant expression.

"No... no..."

Kesi's lips trembled, his four eyes filled with despair.

"You... how could you..."

That "Kesi" looked down at him and spoke with his voice.

"You are already dead. From today on, I am Kesi."

Kesi's pupils began to dilate.

His final consciousness was watching that face identical to his own, a face looking down at him with indifferent eyes, just as one would look down at an ant.

His hand lifted, wanting to grab something, but he grabbed nothing.

Then, there was no more movement.

At the same time, in the adjacent prison cells.

Three Kalidusi assassins were carrying out their Task.

Fifteen minutes later, in the corridor of the detention zone.

Kesi stood in the center of the corridor, exercising her new body.

A body over three meters tall, four eyes, deep purple skin, and a thick biological carapace.

She tried walking a few steps, feeling the center of gravity and balance of this new body.

"How is it?"

A voice came from behind.

She turned around and saw three "attendants" standing behind her.

The leading "Kraken Warrior" nodded at her.

"Perfect. I have already read enough fragments of those people's memories to handle daily interactions."

The other two "guards" also nodded.

"The guard's memories are also here."

"The service staff's memories are also here."

Y-7 nodded.

"Very good."

She turned and walked toward the exit of the detention area.

Three attendants followed behind her, their steps in perfect unison.

At the exit, they encountered the Blood Angels officer.

The officer looked at them, his gaze sweeping over each person's face, then he nodded slightly.

"Follow me. Sanguinius is waiting for you."

In a private cabin at the rear of the Bridge, Sanguinius sat on a minimalist chair, an untouched cup of tea placed before him.

The door opened, and Y-7 walked in with her three attendants.

Sanguinius raised his head, looking at the Kroke who stood over three meters tall.

"Did Father send you?"

Y-7 nodded.

"Yes, my lord."

Sanguinius stood up and walked over to her.

"The transformation is quite good. If the expression in your eyes were a bit more arrogant, it would be even more convincing. That Kesi, he always looks down on people."

Y-7 adjusted her gaze.

"How about this?"

Sanguinius looked closely, then nodded.

"Good. That will do."

He walked back to his seat and sat down.

"The people from the Kroke Empire will arrive at the border in three days to receive you. For these three days, you will continue to stay in the detention area. I will have Kroke language books and materials sent to you; make sure you use the time to familiarize yourselves."

Y-7 nodded.

"Understood."

Y-7 bowed slightly and left with her three attendants.

The cabin fell back into silence.

Sanguinius picked up the cup of tea, which had already gone cold, and took a light sip.

Three days later, at the eastern border of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, at the designated handover point.

A Kroke Empire ship was waiting in the starry sky.

That ship was a size larger than a Cruiser of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, its hull pitch-black and covered in spikes.

Inside the Bridge, Zenuosi stood before the observation window, his four eyes fixed on the distant starry sky.

"Have they arrived?"

He asked.

The Adjutant checked the sensors.

"They have, my lord. A small transport ship is approaching."

Zenuosi nodded.

"Prepare to receive them."

The transport ship slowly approached the Kroke ship, and the docking hatch opened.

Zenuosi led a squad of Kraken warriors to the docking hatch and waited.

The door opened.

"Prince Kesi" was the first to walk out.

His four eyes swept over those present, his face wearing his signature arrogant expression.

"Uncle Zenuosi. You came to receive me yourself?"

Zenuosi bowed slightly.

"The safe return of His Highness the Prince is a major event for the Kroke Empire. His Majesty sent me to welcome you personally."

Kesi nodded.

"You have worked hard."

Behind him, the three attendants followed closely.

Zenuosi's gaze swept over these people, finding nothing unusual.

"His Highness the Prince, please."

He stepped aside to make way.

"His Majesty is waiting for you."

Kesi stepped forward and walked into the Kroke ship.

Behind him, the docking hatch slowly closed.

The transport ship detached and returned in the direction of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance.

The Kroke ship started its engines and sailed deep into the east of the Bode Star System.

Inside the Bridge, Zenuosi stood beside "Kesi" and asked in a low voice.

"His Highness the Prince, during this time, did they give you any trouble?"

Kesi looked at him, a flash of anger crossing his four eyes.

"Do they dare? I am a Prince of the Kroke Empire."

Zenuosi nodded.

"That is only natural."

He paused, then asked again.

"That Sanguinius... how is he?"

Kesi thought for a moment.

"Very strong. Extremely strong. His psychic power makes one unable to catch their breath."

Zenuosi's brows furrowed slightly.

"Stronger than you anticipated?"

Kesi nodded.

"Much stronger than anticipated. If His Majesty truly wishes to move against them... he needs to think twice."

Zenuosi fell into Silence for a few seconds, then nodded.

"His Highness the Prince is correct. This matter must be reported in detail to His Majesty upon our return."

"I am tired; take me to the lounge."

"Please follow me."

Xiuluo Holy Star, Yingzhou's study.

Yingzhou stood before the window, Luojia stood behind him, holding an encrypted report that had just been received in his hand.

"Father, Y-7 has successfully boarded the Luoke warship and is currently on the way back to the Luoke Imperium."

Yingzhou nodded.

"Good. Luojia, for the days ahead, we must maintain Silence regarding the Luoke Imperium. Do not initiate contact, do not inquire for news; act as if nothing has ever happened."

Luojia nodded.

"Understood, Father."
