“Since you returned from Ulnas Circle, you haven’t seen your father, have you?”

Noland Lee gazed at the far-off battleground of the ceremony and asked Morster by his side.

The results of his deconstruction of Morster whirled through Noland Lee’s mind. Simultaneously, Noland Lee was organizing his own words based on these results.

Morster silently nodded:

“Yes. I received a secret letter from my mother. She said my father needed my help and asked me to return to the Empire as soon as possible. After I arrived at the Empire, my mother brought me the appointment order of the acting commander of Division Intelligence Unit Two, but until now, I have not seen my father. Usually, when I report work, I give the written materials to my father’s personal guards, which is Intelligence Department 1. They help pass my report to my father.”

Noland Lee raised his hand, pointing to the Tentacle Overlord of Shubick, who was entangled with the alchemy ship:

“Are you aware of the relationship between this extraterrestrial space pollution product and the Empire?”

“Of course, I’m here because of it.” Morster said:

“This extraterrestrial space pollution product, was summoned by Empire traitors led by Yasde. They set up a ritual at sea during a secret mission, opening the Outer Space Gap for Shubick. Before I came here, I already asked my subordinates to bring over the original files of Yasde and others. Once I return to the Empire, I will start investigating the people and things related to Yasde, to root out the lurking extraterrestrial space pollution in the Empire.”

“So then you are aware that Military Intelligence Department Six is planning to transport a batch of Life Elixir to Union City? Do you know how much damage this action will cause to Union City?”

Noland Lee turned his head, looking sharply at Morster:

“On the cargo ship Yasde controls, there’s not only Life Elixir. It also carries 2000 Biochemical Soldiers. After the Life Elixir and Biochemical Soldiers arrive in Union City, they will enter the Black City on the 100th Underground Level of Fissure Corridor through a secret route set up by the Wizard Criminal Samuelson. There, they will be transformed into artificially induced aberrations, used to guard the ceremony site where Samuelson is performing magic enlightenment on the Nest Core.

“Just these artificially induced aberrations are enough to destabilize the Fissure Corridor. After awakening its magic ability, the power of the Nest Core is even fearsome, potentially leading to a disaster that destroys the Undercity of Union City.

“Do you know about this, Morster?”

Morster inhaled slightly, speaking gravely:

“So you want me to prevent the Empire from damaging Union City? That’s the responsibility of my father’s other sons. As the acting commander of Division Intelligence Unit Two, I have no authority to intervene in the work of Intelligence Department Five and Six… I will try, but I can’t guarantee the results.”

Noland Lee shook his head:

“No, that’s not what I want you to do. I don’t want to interfere with conflicts between nations, nor do I intend to intervene in any nation’s decisions. I know what Tatis intends, which is nothing more than using the space of Fission Wilderness to gain time to defeat the Undead Cult. My ambition is not in nations, but in pursuing personal ultimate power, breaking free from the shackles of gravity, and exploring the stars.”

Morster paused for a split second:

“You aspire to become a ‘Star Witch’? To surpass Tenth-Ring wizard?”

“Yes, Morster. The rise and fall of the world, the disputes of nations, the entanglement of love and hate, they are like fleeting clouds to me. One day, when I stand at the pinnacle of the starry sky, the end of the river of time, and look down upon all living beings with an invincible posture, what I’ll see is the colorful scroll of the universe. I won’t have much attachment to this painting. I would continue to explore the world beyond the universe, seek the source of life, the cause of strife, the origins of civilization, and the true essence of the rise and fall of all things in the world.”

Noland Lee spread his hands, continuing:

“My aspirations are very lofty, in contrast to my current personal strength which is very small. On my journey to the top of the world, I may encounter heart-wrenching tears, breathtaking affections, deeply engraved pain, and chest-beating regrets. Though I do not wish to focus on these complicated and transient interpersonal relationships, when events, people, and objects involve my humanity, I’d still inevitably yearn to do something to make myself feel better.”

Noland Lee’s dark eyes stared at Morster, speaking slowly:

“I will stand at the pinnacle of this world, Morster.

“I know what kind of damage a cold and merciless supreme being can inflict on the world—it’s a world where humanity is extinct. I also know what a person like this would do upon suddenly realizing they’ve lost their original heart—they would choose to end themselves. To avoid succumbing to such an end, I hope that when I reach the peak of the world, I will retain a warm heart, and not become hard-hearted.

“When I stand at the pinnacle of the world and others ask me, ‘In order to gain power, do you feel guilty about everything you’ve done?’ I can confidently respond, ‘I have no guilt.’ Afterwards, with the blessings of my friends and loved ones, I will embark on a journey to discover the truth of the universe.”

The scene fell quiet for a moment and the distant echo of gunfire made the silence more pronounced.

After a while, Morster spoke:

“It’s hard to imagine a history teaching assistant, after obtaining powerful extraordinary traits, would have such lofty and magnificent aspirations. I understand what you’re saying now. You’re planning to give yourself a good reputation free from any negative comments before entering the ‘Mass Wizard Tombs’, aren’t you?”
