Ah, co to think of it, I should save Yujin too.
If left like that, he’ll die.
Confident that he wouldn’t die, he’s now dying as a result of using his highest output magic with a 100x mana amplification device.
If left alone, he’ll wither away and die from mana depletion.
[ S-Sir Yujin!! Are you alright, sir Yujin?! dic! dic, quickly, over here! ]
Lowie Hendrick shouts frantically, seeing Yujin collapsed and gaunt from mana depletion.
At his call, the dic was hurriedly rushing over.
Foolish fellow.
He overlooked the fact that even though he’s an avatar, he’s now nothing more than a separate, independent mortal.
Until now, he hasn’t faced any major crises, and even when he did, he could resolve everything with his own abilities, so he’s fallen into arrogance.
Thinking that because he’s the avatar of a top-tier outer god, he won’t die no matter what happens.
Believing that no matter what happens, he’s destined to overco it, and when he does, he’ll be rewarded accordingly.
What a foolish thought.
Gods, as always, are capricious.
They can dispose of anything at any ti if they get bored or displeased.
Well, I’m saving him because it still seems interesting… So I guess Yujin’s prediction was right so far?
Saving his life isn’t a difficult task.
I just need to infuse a bit of life force to keep him from dying.
Saving the life of one insignificant mortal is such an easy and simple task that I could do it while yawning.
Swoosh─
[ Ugh… I told him it was dangerous, I warned him so many tis…! ]
As Lowie Hendrick was blaming himself for not stopping Yujin more forcefully, tears streaming down his face.
[ Don’t worry, I said… ]
Yujin slowly opened his eyes.
[ S-Sir Yujin !! ]
Lowie Hendrick startled in shock.
Of course he would.
The person he thought was about to die had just opened his eyes.
Moreover, though he doesn’t seem to have any strength, he’s even speaking.
Naturally, he can’t help but be surprised.
[ I told you. I won’t die. ]
In contrast, Yujin seed unfazed.
He exuded a sense of composure, as if he had known all along that this would happen.
This guy, he predicted that I wouldn’t lose interest in him yet.
He thought that even if he faced a life-threatening situation, I would save him.
It couldn’t be a more arrogant thought, but I could understand why he did it.
He must have known that if my interest in this world had waned to the point of not saving him, this universe would be dood anyway.
He figured that dying now or having his existence erased later would be the sa.
It’s a gamble where he has nothing to lose either way.
He thought it through.
But there’s one thing he overlooked.
I saved his life, but I didn’t fully restore his energy and mana.
In other words, Yujin will need ti to recover.
The voyage without him.
I wonder what will happen to the fleet?

Although Yujin sohow survived the mana depletion, the enormous amount of mana he consud was not restored.
As a result, the significantly weakened Yujin entered a healing pod for recovery, and it was decided that the temporary command would be taken by the vice-commander, Lowie Hendrick. ℟аŊОʙĘş
“Vice-commander. I would like to research the psionic energy from the captured life forms.”
The first person to rush to him after he assud temporary command was none other than Lasi, the leader of the elves.
She had intended to request Yujin to allow the elven researchers to study psionic energy.
However, since Yujin was recuperating, she ca to Lowie Hendrick, who had taken temporary command.
“The discovery of a new form of energy. Naturally, from the Union’s perspective, we want to uncover and utilize it effectively. Let’s research it together with the Union researchers.”
“Of course. When we joined the Union, we abandoned the idea of monopolizing research data or progress. After all, everyone’s advancent is the path to becoming stronger.”
In response to Elder Lowie Hendrick’s words, which seed to worry about the elves monopolizing the psionic energy research results, Lasi smiled and replied.
Realizing that he had spoken as if he was suspicious, Lowie Hendrick shook his head.
“I didn’t an it that way. If I’ve caused a misunderstanding, I apologize.”
“Not at all. I understand your position as an Union elder.”
Lasi, also being an Union elder and the representative of the elves, understood his concern.
Although the Union has united under Yujin’s na, the power and influence of the elves are steadily growing.
Moreover, Yujin is currently absent due to recuperation.
It was a situation that could understandably cause worry.
“If we can utilize psionic energy that uses cosmic magnetic fields, the Union will be able to develop further. With the Elftenium and Xenomorphs from Zone Y as well… As we progress, the forces opposing the exploration of uncharted territories will disappear.”
“I look forward to working with you.”
Although he spoke of the Union as a whole, in the end, no one could match the elves in terms of technology and intelligence.
Almost everything would end up being entrusted to the elves.
Knowing this fact, Lasi probably ca as a representative to discuss it.
Anyway, after assigning the research on psionic energy to the researchers, Lowie Hendrick quickly issued orders.
“We’ve almost defeated the enemies! Don’t bother chasing those who are fleeing, just leave them be. Without a leader of the caliber we’ve already killed, they pose no threat anyway.”
It was an order to leave the fleeing enemies alone and for them to resu their journey towards their designated destination.
“Yes, understood!”
Everyone responded energetically, knowing that in the current situation, Lowie Hendrick’s orders were equivalent to Yujin’s orders and the Union’s commands.

A massive star located at the center of Zone Z.
The light and heat it emitted were so faint that at first glance, it almost looked like a giant planet rather than a star.
The reason for this was a massive life form perched atop the star.
This enormous creature, about one-tenth the size of the star, was absorbing the star’s vast nuclear fusion energy as its own nourishnt.
It had absorbed so much energy that the light and heat originally emitted by the star had dropped to almost nothing.
This life form was none other than the supre ruler of the ‘Warden’ race that dominated Zone Z.
It was a being known as the ‘Transcendent’.
{ …The ‘Agent’ is dead. }
He sensed that the connection with the most powerful being linked to him, the one Yujin called the Blade Monster, the ‘Agent’, had been severed.
The severed connection ant one of two things.
Either the Agent had found a way to sever the connection with the Transcendent.
In this case, it would be right to consider it a betrayal.
But that couldn’t be the case.
If so, there would have been so kind of precursor symptoms.
Without any of that, it was suddenly cut off during battle.
Then, the probability of the second possibility was very high.
That the Agent had died in battle.
But this was also hard to believe.
Because, apart from himself, the Transcendent, the Agent possessed the most powerful physical abilities and psionic energy.
He was given the na ‘Agent’ because he could exert power almost on par with himself.
And yet, he had fallen?
And so quickly that it was hard to even perceive?
{ The power of the invaders is beyond what I imagined. }
The life forms that had invaded the area they controlled.
Invaders who flew through space riding steel vehicles.
Their strength was far greater than expected.
Enough to instantly defeat the Agent and drive out hundreds of billions of the Warden race.
{ I need to handle this more carefully. }
With that thought, the Transcendent ordered all the Warden race within its reach to return to its nest.
All except for those supplying so resources and food.
{ First, I should start by restoring the Agent. }
And he intended to consu so of them to restore the lost Agent.
No, more precisely… he intended to create a new Agent.
{ No matter how many inferior ones there are, it’s useless. Then, should I make a few more? }
That wasn’t all.
He was planning to create a few more monsters like the Agent, which had posed a significant threat to the Union’s massive fleet and which Yujin had risked his life to defeat.
{ But if I do that, I’ll lose a lot of power. I’ll need sufficient rest ti. }
That’s not all.
The energy of the star he currently occupied had been largely consud to create the original Agent that was now gone.
In other words, a new energy source was needed.
{ Oh my, I just told them to gather here… I’ll need to move the nest. }
The Transcendent issued a new order to the returning Warden race.
To find a new nest with suitable conditions for him to occupy.
Receiving this order, the Warden race began to roam the universe in search of stars with sufficient energy.
