Chapter 35 This is all I can do for you
At the same time, in the city.
In an exceptionally luxurious mansion.
Lylia stood before a man, her face puzzled as she asked, "Father, are you serious?"
The man nodded slightly. "Yes, the space has become chaotic. The Empire and the Federation Government are trying to conceal this, but sooner or later, it will be exposed."
Lylia sighed deeply.
Indeed, the man was none other than Lylia's father, Simon.
Lylia frowned and asked, "Then what should novice lords like me do in the near future?"
Simon sighed and said, "Don't worry. The Federation Government and the Empire anticipated this and have prepared another world for everyone."
"However, the System can only operate in that world, and the other worlds will be disconnected from the System."
Lylia, upon hearing this, suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Father, does that mean all the lords transported to other worlds will be gathered in a new world together?"
Simon stroked his chin and said softly, "Yes, but they will likely be divided into different zones."
"I'm not entirely sure. We can only wait for the official announcement."
Hearing this, Lylia was overjoyed, thinking of how Noan had been sent to the 'Singularity Point,' her heart grew even happier.
'If that's the case, there's a high chance that he and I will end up in the same zone,' Lylia thought to herself.
"Lylia!"
Suddenly, Simon's voice rang out, startling her and pulling her thoughts back to reality.
"Ah! Father, were you calling me?"
"Yes." Simon frowned and said, "Lylia, although you are a rank-A Lord, the competition in the new world will become unimaginably fierce."
"Heh?!" Lylia asked in confusion, "Why?"
Simon sighed and explained, "In the new world, it seems that resource concentration points have not yet been established, and even if they exist, their numbers are quite limited."
"If all the lords are gathered in the same world, I fear the competition and battles over resources will become even more catastrophic."
"Moreover, the Empire and the Federation Government appear to have decided to allow the lords to eliminate one another."
"What?!" Lylia was startled, her face filled with worry and fear as she looked at Simon. "Father, are you serious?"
Simon nodded solemnly.
It must be understood that Lords are humanity's most precious resource. Even a rank-F Lord is protected by the Federation Government and the Empire, enjoying immense benefits.
Up until now, it has been entirely normal for Lords to engage in struggles in other worlds. The Empire and the Government wouldn't interfere as long as no one dies.
In the past, many Lords assumed that the Empire and the Government would turn a blind eye to a Lord's death in another world, especially if the deceased was merely a rank-E Lord.
However, they were wrong.
When a Lord perished, government officials quickly apprehended the culprit and executed them publicly, serving as a clear and resolute declaration to everyone.
"It doesn't matter who you are. As long as you dare to act and cause the death of a Lord, you will be executed."
Because of this, killing Lords became a taboo.
But now, things are different. Based on what Simon said, Lylia felt a new era of chaos and brutality was approaching.
"Lylia..." Simon sighed and said, "You need to be more cautious. Now, anyone can become your enemy."
"In that place, I won't be able to protect you. You'll have to survive and defend yourself on your own."
Lylia pressed her lips tightly together. Seeing her expression, Simon thought she was scared and worried, so he comforted her: "Don't worry. Our resources are abundant. I'll help you as much as I can."
Hearing this, Lylia simply shook her head lightly because her father had misunderstood her intentions. However, she had no intention of explaining.
She wasn't worried about herself. She was worried about someone else.
That's right, that person was Noan.
'He's just a rank-F Lord. Will he be able to survive in that world?'
Lylia's heart grew even more anxious. Ultimately, she said, "Father, I want to borrow that from you."
"That?" Simon frowned, his face confused, but he still asked, "Lylia, that thing is dangerous. You shouldn't come into contact with it. Besides, given your rank, it's useless to you."
"This..." Lylia didn't know how to explain, a hint of worry flickering in her heart.
Simon seemed to realize something and let out a sigh. "Is it that young man?"
"Father… I…"
"Alright, I understand." Simon waved his hand, cutting off Lylia's words. "Lylia, I know you like him. However, our family is not ordinary."
"You understand what I mean, don't you?"
Lylia pressed her lips tightly together, her face showing sorrow and pain. "But… I don't want my fate to be controlled."
Seeing Lylia's anguish, Simon also felt a pang of pain in his heart. After all, she was his daughter. But… sometimes, in this life, our destiny is not something we can decide for ourselves.
He looked at Lylia for a long moment before saying, "Alright, I'll give it to you. However, Lylia, you only have one chance."
Hearing this, Lylia was overjoyed. "Father, thank you."
She smiled as she hugged Simon.
Seeing Lylia's expression, Simon gave a bitter smile. "No need to thank me. Lylia, I just don't want to see you in pain."
"Ah! Because of my shortcomings, your grandfather made that decision."
"If..."
"Father, don't worry." Lylia quickly interrupted him, "I believe that Grandfather will change his mind eventually."
Hearing this, Simon nodded slightly and said, "Very well. I'll contact the Federation Government to see what can be done. If it works, you might not get another chance."
Lylia smiled and said, "Father, don't worry. After all, I am a rank-A Lord. How could I die so easily?"
Simon sighed in relief at her words. He knew exactly what it meant to be a rank-A Lord.
Rank-S Lords were exceedingly rare, like phoenixes or dragons. Such Lords were given special training by the Federation Government or the Empire.
If a rank-S Lord did not enter the battlefield, the battlefield would belong to rank-A Lords.
And as for rank-SS Lords? There was no need even to mention them. If they appeared, the Federation Government and the Empire would undoubtedly treat them as treasures, preventing anyone from so much as touching them.
Simon looked at Lylia, aware that his daughter was a rank-A Lord. Moreover, her natural talent was also ranked A.
Two rank-As. With that, she would undoubtedly avoid being bullied and could even become the ruler of her own domain.
Feeling more at ease, Simon said softly, "Alright, I understand. This will be the last time I can help you."
"Hehehe… Father, thank you." Lylia smiled, her face mischievous and radiant, like a blooming sunflower.
After speaking, Simon nodded and left. Once she was sure Simon was completely gone, Lylia took out her phone and sent a message in her secret group chat.
["How many monster summoning cards do you all have left?"]
xxx: [Miss, I only have one card left.]
ooo: [Me too, but its level is very low.]
[As long as it's a rank-D card or lower.]
xxx: [Miss, I have a rank-D Succubus card. Do you want it?]
Seeing this message, Lylia wanted to say yes, but then she imagined Noan surrounded by a group of Succubi, which made her angry.
[No need! Regular monsters, preferably male or spirit, would be better.]
aaa: [Miss, I have a Goblin summoning card. It's only rank-E, but it can summon many of them.]
[Good. Do you all have any more cards like that?]
After a while, Lylia managed to gather five monster-summoning cards. She sighed inwardly, thinking: 'Noan, this is all I can do for you. The road ahead, you'll have to walk on your own.'
What do you think?
