"You’re really not going to Planet Gallia? What if Planet Gallia, like Planet Teutonia, feeds back a massive amount of life force to you?" Kenny Lin asked Amalia once more before boarding the battleship.
Amalia shook her head. "Planet Teutonia still has a million troops stationed there, as well as the humans we rescued from other planets. If I leave and the aliens launch a surprise attack, what then? Besides, I have a feeling—there may be another opportunity waiting for on Planet Teutonia. What about you? Have you finished absorbing the last batch of energy?"
At their level of cultivation, any perception they had wasn’t random—it was a form of premonition.
"You know —that was barely enough to digest as a snack. Alright, I’m off. Be careful."
Kenny Lin had considered staying with her, but he was also afraid of being left behind.
In the end, he convinced himself that this temporary separation was necessary to maintain his status as head of the family.
Not long after their battleship left Planet Teutonia, a small spacecraft suddenly descended into a deserted wilderness on the planet.
Planet Teutonia, capable of housing billions of humans, was naturally vast—larger than Earth as Amalia had known it.
Since humans were social creatures, much of Planet Teutonia remained undeveloped, covered in prival forests.
After the war broke out and Planet Teutonia fell, these areas beca even more desolate, devoid of human presence.
The landing of the small spacecraft went unnoticed.
Monts later, the hatch opened, and a figure erged—a being whose skin alone revealed that he was an alien.
His two antennae twitched slightly.
It was Nel, who had been sent to Planet Teutonia to investigate the truth.
Nel had been to Planet Teutonia before—right after the great battle.
Back then, the planet bore the scars of war, and the air was thick with the stench of burnt tal and destruction.
Only a few months had passed, yet Planet Teutonia felt vastly different now.
The air seed fresher—a minor change that didn’t surprise him.
However, there was sothing else, sothing he couldn’t quite put into words.
Turning around, Mayer tossed a small black object at the spacecraft.
Instantly, the ship vanished, leaving only a black button-like sphere on the ground.
He walked over, picked it up, and tucked it away.
He then closed his eyes, sensing the energy flows around him.
A mont later, his gaze locked onto the direction where human presence was the strongest.
He walked forward, his figure gradually fading.
Lighter and lighter, dimr and dimr—until he completely disappeared.
He wasn’t rely hiding behind trees or buildings.
Nel had vanished in the truest sense, leaving not a single trace of his presence.
Major General Rafiq took a million troops with him, leaving behind several hundred thousand human soldiers on Planet Teutonia.
Most of them were infantry—cannon fodder in battles against the aliens.
To minimize unnecessary casualties, Major General Rafiq chose not to take them this ti.
Instead, he left Lieutenant Duviel Duero in charge and instructing him to follow Amalia’s orders.
After the battleship departed, Duviel imdiately sought out Amalia to ask how she wanted to defend Planet Teutonia.
Amalia didn’t interfere too much and simply told him to set up defenses as he saw fit.
There weren’t many humans left on Planet Teutonia.
Those who could leave had already boarded the battleship, leaving behind only the wounded soldiers who were still recovering and needed protection.
Seeing that Amalia didn’t intend to manage these trivial matters, Duviel made a few basic arrangents, setting up patrols and outposts.
As the scorching sun dipped behind the western mountains, the last traces of sunset faded away, and darkness completely enveloped Planet Teutonia.
Thick clouds had unknowingly dispersed, revealing a sky full of twinkling stars.
Beneath the starry sky, a vast square was densely packed with soldiers, so sitting, so lying down.
These soldiers were long accustod to sleeping outdoors.
The humid heat of the night had driven many of them to the open field.
Laughter and conversation filled the air.
Unlike before, they no longer lived in constant fear of dying at any mont.
"If only every day could be like this," one soldier sighed, leaning against his comrade’s back.
"Yeah, we haven’t had such peaceful days in a long ti. Back on Planet Lumora, we were always afraid the aliens would ambush us at night. I don’t think I had a single good night’s sleep."
The soldier across from him no longer bore the deep exhaustion that once clouded his face.
His eyes shone brightly.
"All of this is thanks to Ms. Amalia and Mr. Kenny. Without them, we’d be dead by now."
"Yeah, they are truly our saviors. If only we were stronger... I’d find a way to repay them properly."
So of the soldiers felt a pang of sorrow.
They wanted to fight on the front lines, to kill more aliens.
But they were too weak, so they could only stay behind as support.
"Don’t think like that. The general said everyone has their own role. We may be weak, but we can still do things others can’t."
"The fact that we’ve been given a second chance at life ans we weren’t ant to die. We must stay true to our purpose and continue defending our ho."
"Ms. Amalia and Mr. Kenny didn’t just save my life—they saved millions. If I live to see the day we drive the aliens out of this galaxy, I will repay them. Without them, my family on Planet Lumora would have perished."
"My family also survived because of them. I really thought we were all dood this ti."
As the soldiers chatted among themselves, they failed to notice a faint glow emanating from their bodies.
The glow flickered like candlelight in a gentle breeze, all tilting toward the sa direction.
At the sa ti, inside a temporary chamber, Amalia—who was in the process of refining all the gains she had acquired since arriving in this universe—suddenly opened her eyes.
