In Judal's view, if Lisa and Hayato Kisaragi were to get together, they would surely produce outstanding offspring, which would be a profitable thing for him.
He didn't care about Lisa's feelings at all, which shows what kind of person Judal is.
Li Wei said, "Even if you want to curse him, it's useless, because he has already achieved his goal. After the war on the moon ends, I will leave this world."
Kureya said, "Wherever you go, I will go."
Kureya's tone was quite resolute; she made this decision about her future life almost without careful consideration.
She didn't have much attachment to this world. Whether it was the early death of her parents, her ambitious brother, or the tragedy caused by the internal struggles within the Harvey family, too many things had made her see through many things.
Power, wealth, and strength—these things always attract endless struggles. But for her, born into the Harvey family, power and wealth were something she possessed from the start, and they also brought her a lot of trouble. This wasn't her Versailles; she was born into a powerful family. While others were enjoying a happy childhood, she was drawn into the power struggles. If it weren't for her parents protecting her, she would probably have become a victim of those power struggles.
That's why she didn't have much attachment to this world. Moreover, since Judar had "sold" her and Lisa to Levi, she would inevitably take Lisa with her when she left. If Lisa could leave, she would have even less to miss.
Li Wei said, "I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly. I thought you would choose to stay in this world."
Kureha grabbed Levi's arm, gently twisting her fingers on it, and said, "Who do you think I made this decision for?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "I know, I know."
Kureha was no longer angry. Since she would be leaving with Levi anyway, nothing here mattered to her anymore. Besides, Levi had said he would resolve the barbarian problem here. If the plan went smoothly, the barbarians would be wiped out quickly, and then she wouldn't have any more worries.
Kureya said, "々. Lisa doesn't know about this yet. I really wonder what her expression will be when she finds out."
Kureya shook her head. She had always known that her brother was an ambitious man without any bottom line, capable of doing anything for his own ambitions, but this time, it had truly exceeded her expectations.
Because their parents died early, the three of them survived by relying on each other. But even so, Judar was still able to scheme against her and Lisa, which she could not accept.
Li Wei said, "For Lisa, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it's better than her staying in that dark and gloomy cabin. Although we live in the information age and can know everything happening in the world without leaving home, experiencing new things firsthand is always more real than being separated by the barrier of the internet."
Kureya said, "I'll find an opportunity to talk to her about this."
Kureya planned to confront Judal at some point. Although she believed Levi's words, she still couldn't swallow her anger. Therefore, she had to find out the reason why Judal was able to do such a thing.
Perfect timing! Judar is right here in the small garden; asking him questions is just a matter of a short distance.
Li Wei was able to sense Kuraya's thoughts, though not very clearly. He understood that the reason he had Judar stay in the small garden temporarily was to facilitate Kuraya's separation from this world.
Chapter 1. The Pursuit of Great Power
After parting ways with Li Wei, Kureya did not return to her own residence, but went directly to where Judal was.
As the commander-in-chief of Valslan, Judal had a rather secluded villa in the small garden, which was a privilege of his position.
Kureya saw Judar sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard, admiring the man-made landscape and sipping coffee.
Judar always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, but now, Kuraya felt that his face was so irritating that she wanted to punch him in the face.
“Kureya, you seem to be angry right now. Getting angry is bad for your health; it can easily damage your liver,” Judar said with a smile.
"Who do you think caused my anger? Li Wei has already told me that you sold me and Lisa to him." Kureya sat down in the chair opposite Judal, her expression unfriendly.
Judar laughed and said, "In a way, I'm doing this for your own good."
"Huh? For our own good? You're really shameless. You haven't changed a bit, Judal." Kureya said with a sarcastic smile.
Judar laughed and said, "I will soon become a god and leave this place. After I leave, I will no longer be able to protect you. Therefore, I can only feel at ease entrusting you to the more powerful Livy."
Kureya looked puzzled and said, "Become a god? What are you talking about?"
Judar laughed and said, "Based on the strength Li Wei displayed before, do you really think he's just an ordinary person?"
Kureya hesitated when faced with Judal's question.
Judar continued, "He is not an ordinary person, but a god-like being. Although he himself does not admit that he is a god, to me, he is. Because what he can do is no different from that of a god. Therefore, I want to become a being as powerful as him."
"Is this your reason for betraying me and Lisa?" Kuraya said.
Judar laughed and said, "That's not betrayal, but entrustment, because I'm about to leave this planet and go into the depths of the universe to find my future. You and Lisa, who are not strong enough, will easily be troubled without my protection, after all, you and Lisa are quite special."
Kureya could understand this. She and Lisa were indeed quite special individuals, and protecting themselves after Judal's departure would be extremely difficult. For her, simply taking over Valslan smoothly was no easy task.
After all, Valslan is full of factions. With Judal still around, it was easy to suppress those veteran figures. But without Judal, it wouldn't be easy for her and Lisa to take back the power that had been dispersed.
Kureya said, "Although what you said is absurd, I'm willing to believe you this time."
Judar said, "Humanity has now gained great power, but this power does not come from itself, but from external things. Whether it is the various technological creations of the past or the current Hundred Armor Crystal, they are not the power of humanity itself. Although intelligence can be used as a weapon, it cannot cover up the reality of humanity's weakness."
Kuraya said, "What are you trying to say? That because you've realized your own weakness, you're willing to pay the price to gain greater power?"
Judar said, "You've said what I wanted to say. Yes, after witnessing Levi's power, I envied him, I even felt jealous. I also wanted that kind of powerful power, that godlike power, so I gave up everything I had in my life just to obtain that power. Now, I have the seed of power. As long as I continue to grow stronger, sooner or later, I will be as powerful as Levi, so powerful that I might even create my own world, where I will be God!"
Seeing Judar's excited expression, Kureya didn't know what to say. She didn't feel sorry for Judar, because the pursuit of power is a deep desire in everyone's heart. Even she had once fantasized about flying freely in the sky without any external force.
Putting herself in Judal's shoes, what choice would she make in the face of such temptation?
It was precisely because of this consideration that Kureya did not berate Judar, because she knew that this was a temptation that even she could not resist, so why should she scold Judar for such a reason?
Kureya knew that Judal had already made his decision, and there was no point in her saying anything. In the past, Judal pursued power and wealth. After the appearance of the Hundred Armor Crystal, Judal began to pursue great power and long life. Now that even greater power has appeared, Judal is pursuing even greater power.
Judar hadn't changed at all. Kureya felt she had seen through Judar. In Judar's view, everything in the world was tradable. As long as he could achieve his goals, paying a certain price was normal. However, the people around him might not be able to accept such a price.
Judar clapped his hands, and Kureya realized that the scenery around her was completely different. They were now in the garden of her old family mansion.
She rarely returned to her old house in Yingguo, because the memories it held for her were too complex, containing both beautiful and sad ones. Therefore, after growing up, she would only return to the old house if absolutely necessary.
Kureya took out her PDA, and the satellite positioning displayed on it showed that the location was in Yingguo, and these coordinates were exactly where the old house was located.
"We're back at the old house?!" Kuraya exclaimed in surprise. The fact that they had instantly traversed tens of thousands of kilometers, returning from the ocean to their old house, astonished her.
Chapter 1. White Lies
Judar revealed a smug smile and said, "Isn't it amazing? Instantly crossing tens of thousands of kilometers to get home, is that something a human can do? But this is just the tip of the iceberg of the power I have gained. Right now, although I am not as powerful as Li Wei to the point of being able to create my own world, the power I have is no different from that of gods and demons to ordinary people."
Kureya swallowed hard. If even a half-baked Judal possessed such power, then how powerful was Levi, who bestowed the seed of power upon Judal?
Kureha felt her mind was a little overwhelmed. The fact that such a powerful Levi was being so gentle with her made her feel flattered and surprised.
Judal clapped his hands, and the two returned to the small garden.
Judar stood up, stretched, and said, "This power is just the beginning. As long as I continue to train, I will become even stronger. All the power, wealth, and even strength I pursued before seem incredibly naive in the face of such might. Those fleeting things are not what I seek—the truth."
Kureia said, "Now that you've got what you wanted, what do you plan to do with this power?"
Judar laughed and said, "Of course, it's about creating a world that belongs only to me. You know, I have a strong desire for control. I want everyone to be my pawns. This is my hometown, after all. I won't do such a thing to my own hometown. So I need a world that belongs entirely to me, a real world that exists only for me."
Faced with Judar's somewhat twisted wish, Kureya remained unmoved. Apart from mourning for the people of the world she had created, there was nothing else she could do.
In Kureya's eyes, the people of that created world were simply unlucky bastards, having been saddled with such a controlling creator.
Judal said, "I don't consider myself a good person, but I don't want to bring disaster to my homeland, so after the war on the moon ends, I will leave Earth and never come back. With such power, Earth will become a prison for me."
Kureya hadn't expected that Judar would have such awareness, unwilling to harm Earth, their home planet. But that was a good thing, since it was where they grew up. If it could be spared from destruction, it wouldn't leave her with any lingering resentment.
Judar said, "I've said everything I needed to say. Now I have to go do what I need to do. We may not see each other many more times before we part ways forever, so I'll say goodbye here first, my foolish sister."
As she watched Judar's figure disappear from her sight, Kuraya sighed. The development of events had exceeded her expectations, and her mindset had changed.
Now, all Kureya wants to do is stand guard until the very end. After all, when Levi decides to leave, everything here will be meaningless to her.
However, Kureya felt that there were two other people who had the right to know: Lydie and Erica, who had followed her for a long time. Even if she were to leave, she would have to say goodbye to them.
After leaving the Judar Courtyard, Kureya took out her PDA and sent a message to each of them, inviting them to meet at her favorite coffee shop.
Kureha arrived at the coffee shop first, found her usual booth, and sat down to wait for the two. The coffee shop was in a slightly out-of-the-way location, and even during a lively festival like the school festival, business was only so-so, with less than 30% occupancy.
Not long after, Erica and Lydie arrived at the coffee shop. When they saw Kuraya, they quickly walked over and sat down opposite her.
Lydie said, "Lady Kuraya, is there something important you want to tell us by calling us here at this time?"
Erica, who was standing nearby, was also very curious. These few days were considered their holidays, and Kureya would not have summoned them together unless there was something important.
Kureya said, "Let's order some drinks first. What I need to say can't be explained in just a few words."
Upon hearing this, Lydie and Erica ordered drinks and then obediently waited for Kureya's next move.
After the drinks were served, Kuraya said, "In a while, I will be leaving this world."
"Huh?! What's going on? Is there something wrong with your health, Lady Kuraya?" said Lydie, who was a little impatient.
Kureya gestured for the other person to lower their voice and said, "I don't have any incurable disease, just the literal meaning. I will be going to other worlds soon."
Erica pushed up her glasses and said, "President, could you explain this to us in more detail? Going to other worlds is really amazing, please forgive me for not being able to keep up with your pace."
.. .... .......
Kureya didn't hold back and told everything she learned from Judar without any reservations.
Both Lydia and Erica were shocked by the truth behind the scenes. They had thought such things were far removed from their lives, but unexpectedly, they were right next to them.
Kureya said, "After all, I will be leaving here in a while. I think you have been with me for so long, and I can't keep such an important matter from you."
After Kuraya finished speaking, the atmosphere became somewhat silent.
However, the silence was broken in just a few seconds.
Erica said, "Wherever the president goes, I will go. Even if it's to another world, I will follow the president."
Lydia said seriously, "Me too!"
Erica said, "If I hadn't met you, President, I don't know how miserable I would be now. Everything I am today is thanks to you, President. So, no matter what happens or how bad the situation is, I will always be by your side."
Lydia nodded, crossed her arms, and said, "Me too!"

Erica looked at Letty and whispered, "Don't you have anything to say?"
