The skeleton nodded, sorting out his thoughts. In fact, he hadn't dared to recall those past events over the years; the more joyful they were at the beginning, the more tragic their end.

In the Imperial Calendar year 4994, a massive insect-beast tide erupted, appearing almost as if it were covering humanity in its wake, spreading throughout the empire.

That was an era when the entire nation was mobilized to fight the enemy.

The skeleton was no exception, even though his ability level was so ordinary that it was no different from suicide.

However, inspired by the prevailing trend and fueled by the hatred forged in blood and tears, he resolutely stepped onto the battlefield.

Xiao Wu and Guang Tou were also with him; they were all ordinary soldiers who were responsible for logistics on the battlefield every day.

Piloting a spaceship, after the war ends, to bring back those corpses that will never awaken in the sea of ​​stars.

My initial enthusiasm gradually turned into numbness, and even despair.

It was at this moment that the princess appeared on the battlefield.

The Su family has been part of the royal family since the beginning of the empire, and this has never changed over the years. This is partly because no one in the empire has any ambitions to challenge them, and partly because they are descendants of the royal family.

Each generation consists of two princesses who successfully awaken their special abilities. One focuses on martial prowess and becomes the empress, while the other focuses on intelligence and becomes the empress's right-hand woman. When their abilities reach their limit, they can even sometimes predict the short-term future.

Their appearance was a ray of light in the despairing battlefield, piercing through the deep, heavy darkness.

One turned the tide on the battlefield, while the other stabilized morale in the rear.

“Your mother, the one in the back, I still remember her. Her clear eyes could almost melt away all the despair in my heart.”

Lu Yulan didn't speak, but listened quietly, looking at the skull's slightly red eyes, afraid that a single word would make the man cry.

But the good times didn't last long. Just when the insectoid beast was almost wiped out, the most terrifying thing happened: it evolved.

Its original weapons were no longer effective against it, and its reproductive capacity had also increased.

Every day, the blood in the sea of ​​stars converges like a river.

One morning, the princess sat alone at the very back of the battlefield, looking at the deep indigo blue in the distance, where almost no light could penetrate.

Almost muttering to himself, he asked, "Tell me, if we're destined to fail, what would you do?"

At that time, the skeleton didn't understand the meaning of those words; the youthful spirit meant that he couldn't accept defeat.

"impossible."

At that time, her face was as thin as a sheet of paper, pale and without radiance, no longer resembling the most beautiful flower of the empire.

The skeleton remembered he hesitated, then added, "If we are destined to lose, I will die with my comrades."

Unfortunately, he ultimately broke his vow.

Two days later, the military launched a plan to develop artificial weapons. She was the one who proposed the draft. She stood at the forefront of the entire army, like a Gesang flower that would never fade.

Unfortunately, the plan failed. She trusted the wrong person, and all the test subjects, including him, went into a state of madness and were completely unable to go to the battlefield.

Later, when he regained consciousness, he was abandoned on that abandoned planet along with all the experimental subjects. His body was covered with the corpses of insect beasts and pitch-black ashes.

Looking at his inhuman, ghostly appearance, he killed some mindless experimental subjects, almost to the point of bloodlust, when he heard a voice.

The light was as brilliant as a flare in a starry sea, yet also filled with despair, affecting even the abandoned planet he inhabited.
