Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Miss Snow, resting her head on her hand on the desk, thought for a moment and then gave Lord Jiuxiao an answer...

"You've developed PTSD? How did you know...? You didn't deliberately run up to her with a spoon and a pot on purpose...?"

Jiuxiao looked at Snow, who was yawning and lying on the table, with a strange expression.

"Do you think I'm that bored...? After dealing with her, I still have to clean up the Destiny headquarters that they've wrecked."

Miss Snow rolled her eyes at Jiuxiao and shrugged...

"It's Mei and Durandal—"

"It seems that when Mei went to ask Kiana what she was planning to eat for lunch, she ran into Miss Su, who had just slipped out of Su's place, on a path in the villa area... and Mei happened to be holding a spoon."

"Hmm... According to Mei's own description, when Miss Su saw her, she was fine, but when Mei waved a soup spoon in front of her... she let out a 'whoosh' and fainted."

"Then it was Mei again... I don't know what Kiana asked that day—anyway, Fu Hua and Mei made a Chinese dish called 'Di Guo Ji' (Earth Pot Chicken)... that thing was served in a whole pot."

"The latter fainted on the spot when she saw that pot while having dinner with Su Xianzu... In the end, Fu Hua made her an extra bowl of noodles..."

Snow paused, seemingly preparing to take a sip of water before continuing his explanation, while Jiu Xiao shook his head with a hint of pity—

"Tsk tsk tsk, that sounds pretty tragic... What about Durandal? And what's with that silly goose over there?"

"That's even simpler in Yulandal—"

"I had something to tell her and asked her to come to my office... Then she ran into Ms. Su in the hallway... Apparently, Ms. Su's screams could be heard throughout the entire headquarters, but the office is well soundproofed, so I didn't hear them."

"Oh... I was wondering where that pig-like screaming came from the other day... It was her."

Jiuxiao pursed his lips, looking as if he had just realized something—

"And then... Yulandal took her back to Su?"

"No... that scream seemed to be a kind of mental attack—the unsuspecting goose was directly knocked unconscious by the sneak attack... In the end, I only saw those two guys in the aisle after waiting for a long time without anyone going out to look for them..."

"I bet you scared Ms. Su again, didn't you?"

Jiuxiao looked at Miss Snow with a slightly mocking expression...

"Hmm...can I say that?"

"After I woke up the silly goose, we woke her up too... and the moment she saw us, she fainted... and the silly goose and I even managed to put on a friendly smile... what a waste of our time."

The blonde girl, as if struck by a thought, curled her lip in annoyance.

"I think in her eyes... that smile of yours, which isn't exactly 'kind,' should be called a 'nuclear-kind' smile..."

"Probably—anyway, that Miss Su is now staying at home all day, hiding in the Su ancestor's residence, I don't know what she's doing... I just hope that one day we'll see Little Su or something."

"So... what about that idiot white-haired guy? I haven't seen her lately. Did you really sell her?"

"No... According to Ancestor Kevin... while he was swimming the butterfly stroke in the Mediterranean Sea under Destiny, he saw a white thing fall from a sky island... splashing up a huge spray—"

"He pulled her out... but the old man said that this unfortunate child refused to return to her fate in the next few days, so he just left her on the shore to fend for herself..."

Snow shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

"So you just left her outside and didn't care about her at all?"

"With someone helping to manage things, what's there to be afraid of? The old ancestor casually shoved the entropy executor aside, who was either on vacation or on a scientific expedition... I think his name was Iserlin... the green-haired guy."

"...That must be really tough on her, taking care of that guy who has zero common sense...I suspect that green-haired doctor's lab is going to be blown up."

"In any case, destiny won't pay a single penny for this."

Snow rolled his eyes, indicating that he wouldn't pay a single penny.

"How about this... I think I'll just go and bring her back—they're both green-haired, and both PhDs. If I drive them crazy and they turn into a Möbius Plus, that would be a real sin..."

"Whatever—I still have a portion of what I cooked earlier... I hope that idiot doesn't actually think he's escaped this time."

"...It's been almost a month, hasn't it? You've still kept that thing? It's probably all moldy by now???"

"No—I had Kiana store it in the imaginary space. Please understand the true sterile environment..."

"What do you think of imaginary space as? A sewer system, where you dump all sorts of things..."

"That's basically it—just go to Anti-Entropy and bring him back. He'll probably thank you in return..."

".....OK"

.....

"Alright... stop being a third wheel. I don't have any scheduled meetings with other people. Come out, Gray Serpent."

After waving goodbye to Jiuxiao, Snow looked at the person hiding around the corner of the gate...

"It seems you have something important to discuss with me?"

Seeing the solemn aura emanating from someone, the blonde girl's playful expression vanished...

“That’s right, Bishop Snow Apocalypse…you need to see this—”

"This photo comes from 120 million light-years away."

—The man pushed a photograph onto the table.

Oh no!!!

*I'm done talking, all I want to do now is give up.jpg

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 520 You are courting death!!!

"People from heaven..."

Snow glanced at the photograph and drew his conclusion...

In the photographs captured by the astronomical telescope, amidst the dazzling array of starlight, a few strange reddish-black objects stand out strikingly... Upon closer inspection, these objects should be classified as ships or warships...

"This was discovered by chance during a routine observation by the European Southern Observatory, and it just happened."

Gray Snake nodded and explained to Snow the origin of the photograph...

"According to the staff, the fleet is gradually getting closer to Earth."

"Do you have an approximate timeframe, Gray Serpent?"

The blonde girl, tapping her fingers on the table, stared at the small photograph with a displeased expression. She seemed to be plotting something...

"Eight years. The observatory calculated this time from the distance feedback after monitoring this unidentified civilization's fleet for half an hour. Of course, it's possible they could travel even faster, or they might just be speeding..."

"...Eight years, I understand, Gray Serpent."

Snow nodded to the man, and after a brief moment of thought, gave the instructions—

"Keep this news secret from the outside world, and have all observatories under Schicksal monitor and track the movements of this fleet..."

“I understand—but, Mr. Snow, you seem very familiar with these red and black unidentified civilizations…? Could you enlighten me on a few points?”

"Although it's difficult to determine from their appearance whether these extraterrestrial ships are warships or ordinary transport vessels, Bishop Snow's attitude... it seems you've regarded these beings as enemies from the very beginning?"

Gray Serpent nodded in agreement to Snow's instructions, and then raised his own questions.

"Nobody likes a swarm of cosmic locusts, Gray Serpent."

The blond Snow glanced at the somewhat doubtful Gray Snake before him and began to explain—

"Let me give you a simple example—Grey Serpent. You've probably already heard about the future that Kevin and I have envisioned. With your intelligence and knowledge, it shouldn't be difficult for you to deduce the future situation, right?"

“That’s right, Lord Snow—a future where humanity can truly coexist with the Honkai… I’ll be bold and say I’ve already seen that future.”

"That's right. The gray snake... coexists, or rather, is utilized—just like nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy, and even ocean energy. Honkai energy will also become an indispensable and commonly used energy source for mankind in the future, and its use will gradually expand from military to civilian applications."

"It is also an important substance for humanity to embark on its journey into the stars..."

"And these creatures... are the locusts of the universe—"

Snow's fingers tapped incessantly on the red and black fleet in the photograph, as if he wished he could erase them directly from the universe...

"Cosmic locusts?"

There was a hint of confusion in Gray Snake's tone...

"Sir, are you saying they're similar to the insect swarms in those science fiction works...?"

"That's right, to be precise—they are mechanical locusts that plunder Honkai energy."

"Imagine this: Gray Serpent—you are the leader of your small, impoverished nation, and one day your experts announce the discovery of oil, rare earth elements, or any other rare strategic resource on your land."

"Just when you were overjoyed, believing that this impoverished country could become prosperous for its people and its treasury under your leadership, your Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs pushed open your door..."

"They tell you that some developed countries far away have condemned your country for disrespecting human rights and possessing prohibited weapons, and that an expeditionary force is already on its way..."

"At this moment, Gray Serpent, what would you think, and what would you do?"

The blonde girl, seated in the bishop's office chair, calmly observed the silent man before her, awaiting his reply...

"We are helpless—as you said, in this scenario, we are a poor and weak nation, while the other side is an incredibly powerful one..."

The man shook his head, indicating that he couldn't find an optimal solution either...

"So, Gray Serpent, in this state, how do you view that so-called powerful nation when you go back?"

"Discontent...hatred...and...anger...."

The man quickly provided an answer, and the blonde girl nodded in satisfaction upon hearing it...

"Then let's approach these celestial beings with this mindset..."

"—However, we are neither poor nor weak...and they are nothing more than a bunch of shameless thieves who break into other people's homes..."

"With this raging fire, let the land of heresy be burned; with their ashes, let the vast galaxy be nourished..."

The girl's hand, which was holding the photo, gradually tightened, crumpling the photo into a ball... and then she threw it into the trash can.

"Let's sweep these insects into the dustbin of galactic history..."

"As you wish, my lord..."

"But I have another question—Sir Snow?"

Gray Serpent paused, then looked at the Bishop of Destiny before him, hoping she could resolve his last doubt.

"Ask away—"

"Why are you so certain that... humanity will definitely defeat these alien visitors? Perhaps they have been exploring this cosmos for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years longer than human civilization?"
