Wasteland's Only King

“But…”

“Heaven Star really lives up to its name.”

Yu Jin had this thought in his heart.

Solely in terms of looks and aura, Venicca was, so far, the only one who instinctively amazed him.

Before this,

Whether it was Yin Yao, Naiya, or even the Federal Heiress Athena, none had ever given Yu Jin such a feeling.

“Maybe it’s related to Attributes?”

Yu Jin slightly raised his eyebrow, Eye of Insight sweeping over.

The Full-Level Effect of the Eye of Insight was to ignore any hindrance and view the information of anyone of lower Tier.

Yu Jin was now a Tier Eleven Unlimiter.

Theoretically,

No one in the Ophelia Federation could hide under his Eye of Insight.

Just like right now.

Yu Jin merely willed it.

Swoosh—

Lines of text information automatically floated in front of his eyes.

[Venicca Riel]

[Federation: Ophelia]

[Mother Star: Heaven Star]

[Identity: Heaven Star Planet Governor, Current Head of the Riel Clan]

[Tier: Tier Seven Level Five (Limit-Breaking Coefficient 7.5%)]

[Attributes: Angel, Holy Light, Judgment, Perfection]

[Ability: …]

[Talent: Perfect Body]

[Experience: Thirty years ago, caught in the Riel Clan’s internal feud, nearly perished… At the crucial moment, Yu Jin intervened and saved her, and bestowed on her the chance for Limit Breaking… For thirty years, she has devoutly awaited Yu Jin’s arrival in the Ophelia Federation… A few days ago, sensed Yu Jin’s presence, immediately summoned the Celestial Fleet fortresses, warping continuously until arriving at Rock Star Realm, Gangval Star…]

As the saying goes, you don’t know until you look; looking gives you a shock.

This one glance from Yu Jin stunned even himself.

It wasn’t Venicca’s pure ’Angel Template’ Attributes.

But the information in [Experience]—was that even a language he knew?

“No way…”

“Thirty years ago, me? Saved Venicca?”

“Brother Tongzi, any clue?”

Yu Jin immediately thought the system was playing tricks again.

[Ding——]

[Searching!]

[Search complete!]

[Information presented by Eye of Insight matches facts!]

“…”

One sentence, no further explanation.

Yu Jin understood the system’s style—pressing further would get him nowhere.

He simply shook his head, noting it down for now.

At the same time,

This also answered a doubt in Yu Jin’s heart.

Venicca, Governor of Heaven Star in the High-Dimensional Federation, why would she profess loyalty to him, who was in the Low Dimension back then?

Now…

The answer was clear.

“My lord!”

Venicca’s shout pulled Yu Jin back from his thoughts.

At some point,

Venicca had descended from the sky outside the building to stand before Yu Jin.

And as she spoke again, Venicca made an even more shocking gesture, stunning Funi and the people of Oak City.

She actually knelt on one knee, gazing up at Yu Jin!

Such a posture,

Even Aliya, a genuine maid, was dumbstruck…

“Uh…”

“No need for that.”

Yu Jin shook his head, waving his hand.

Buzz—

An invisible ripple spread out, lifting Venicca from the ground with irresistible force.

At that moment,

A trace of ’knew it’ flashed across Venicca’s face.

She just knew…

No matter how much she’d grown, becoming a Seventh Rank Fifth Level Unlimiter,

She was still a mere ant before her master.

That scene just now was the best proof!

What Yu Jin didn’t know was that his casual gesture had, in Venicca’s mind, been overinterpreted, and her already maxed-out loyalty and fanaticism rose again.

But right now, Yu Jin’s concern was something else…

“Carol?”

At this special moment of his first meeting with Venicca,

Yu Jin suddenly received a message from Carol.

The contents were…

“The Serenity Civilization seems to have changed their plan!”

“They’ll probably attack our Dawn Fortress any time in the next day!”

This news was truly sudden.

Bear in mind,

It had only been three, not even four days since Yu Jin actually arrived in the High Dimension.

And if all went as expected…

The war between Dawn Fortress and Serenity Civilization was supposed to start in seven days.

In other words,

Something went wrong.

“In that case, I can’t linger here for long…”

Yu Jin frowned, glanced at Venicca, then at Ed nearby, who was already trembling, face pale as goldleaf.

He’d originally planned to handle this trouble personally.

He did know Venicca would come, but he hadn’t expected her to bring the entire Celestial Fortress Fleet of Heaven Star with her…

So now,

It made his brief stay in Oak City seem rather unnecessary.

“Not a big deal.”

Yu Jin shook his head, making his decision.

“Venicca.”

He spoke softly, calling her name.

“My lord!!”

Just this simple name from him made Venicca exceptionally excited.

“Here…”

“I leave it to you.”

…

…

A hundred miles outside Oak City.

Inside a secret bunker.

The head of the Lambert Clan stared wide-eyed at the screen as warships and spaceships descended from the sky, then…

Opened fire!

Boom—

Rumble——!

Violent explosions, dazzling fireworks.

Even a hundred miles away, he could feel it inside the bunker.

At that moment,

This clan leader’s heart was bleeding madly!

That was the Lambert Clan’s very foundation!

Now?

Yet before this ’Outer Fleet’, they were crushed like ants, with no chance to resist!

Even…

Even his own son, Ed Lambert, was casually slapped dead by Venicca.

It all happened so fast.

That young man called Yu Jin just said something to Venicca, then vanished from the spot.

And then…

The Lambert Clan’s doomsday arrived!

“It’s over, all over…”

The clan leader, dealt a severe blow, stammered incoherently.

Just as he’d thought before,

He’d considered that this operation might have accidents, might fail, but he’d never thought…

It would turn out like this!

At that moment,

The leader of the Lambert Clan felt not only endless regret, but a hint of relief as well.

This relief wasn’t for himself, but for his daughter, Erin Lambert, and his long-scorned son-in-law, Funi Lambert.

“At least…”

“Funi made the right choice.”

“He and Erin can live on, and the Lambert bloodline won’t be completely severed…”

He muttered softly, behind him the micro-escape spaceship in the bunker, prepared long ago.

Only…

His gut told him that escape might not be possible.

Boom—

Rumble——!

The moment the thought arose,

The ground above the bunker trembled, endless dust raining down.

The bunker was made from extremely hard materials; even Tier Six or Tier Seven Unlimiters would find it hard to shake.

But now?

Floating above the bunker was an interstellar war fortress as large as Oak City!

BOOM——!

Beneath the fortress, a blazing energy cannon thundered forth once more.

DOOM——!

The hidden underground bunker was completely buried…

At the very bow of the fortress,

Venicca watched coldly, unmoved.

The master she followed, Yu Jin, gave her three orders before leaving.

First, eliminate the Lambert Clan, including the clan leader in the distant bunker.

Second, integrate Oak City’s resources, establish a foothold on Gangval Star, expand territory, and wait for his return.

Third, assist Funi, president of the Lambert Chamber of Commerce, to continue and even expand acquisition of Fortress Warships and Attribute Stones.

“My lord…”

Venicca looked skyward, murmuring softly.

This time,

She led the Celestial Fleet across the endless Star River, only to catch a brief glimpse of Yu Jin.

Regret, yes, there was some.

But…

Compared to regret, Venicca’s heart was more filled with excitement—that she could serve her master, that she could finally act for him!

What’s more,

Before he left, Yu Jin also made it clear:

“Next time we meet, five months from now.”

“Then…”

“You’ll formally become a member of Dawn Fortress.”

Venicca didn’t understand what ’Dawn Fortress’ really was.

But she knew,

She needed to fully and even over-fulfill the tasks Yu Jin had set for the next five months.

Until…

“My lord descends upon this Star River again!”
