While Fang Zheng was petting the cat, on the Asura battleship thousands of miles away, Admiral Lindy was sitting in her seat with a worried look on her face.

Although on the surface, her mission was successfully completed, the dimensional earthquake was stopped, and the holy stone seeds, which were ancient heritage, were all recovered. But Admiral Lindy always felt uneasy and worried, especially today, she had a very bad premonition, so much so that Admiral Lindy did not even drink her favorite afternoon tea, but sat in a daze in the command room.

"Didi——!"

Just as Admiral Lindy put down the teacup in her hand and sighed, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded, followed by the voice of her subordinate Emily.

"Report to the Admiral, this is a communication from the Space-Time Administration's Dimension Headquarters."

It came as expected.

After hearing Emily's report, Admiral Lindy sighed, then she straightened her clothes and her expression became serious.

"Connect."

"yes."

As Emily finished her words, the next moment a serious and gloomy face of a middle-aged man popped up on the screen in front of Admiral Lindy. He looked to be about fifty years old, wearing a dark blue admiral uniform of the Space-Time Administration. He looked at Lindy in front of him and nodded at her.

"Hello, Admiral Lindy, long time no see."

"Yes, Admiral Kuran, it's been a long time."

Looking at the old man in front of her, Lindy felt less and less uneasy.

"What can I do for headquarters?"

"Headquarters has seen the report you sent."

The admiral named Kuran first smiled and praised Lindy. But in Lindy's opinion, that smile seemed forced.

"You have successfully recovered the ancient heritage and prevented the outbreak of the dimensional earthquake. You have done a good job, but..."

See, there is indeed a but.

"...Regarding the organization called Tiandao Palace mentioned in your report, why is there no further notification?"

really……

Hearing the question, Lindy sighed helplessly in her heart. In fact, she had deliberately downplayed the existence of Tiandao Palace and Fang Zheng in the report, but it turned out that the Space-Time Administration Bureau was not so easily fooled... Although she had thought of this a long time ago.

"We have not had any further contact with the other party. As the report says, we are just cooperating on this matter."

"cooperate?"

Admiral Kuran's face was as gloomy as if he had entered a hundred-meter deep sea, and the shadow of the monster could almost be seen.

"Then why wasn't the main culprit behind this incident, Precia Testrossa, brought back?"

"Precia Testrosa has admitted his mistakes and voluntarily handed over all the ancient heritage. I think..."

However, before Lindy could make a few arguments, Admiral Kuran interrupted her.

"She attacked the transport ship of the Spacetime Administration! This is a very serious crime! No matter what, you must arrest her and bring her to justice. If she really has realized her mistake, then our Spacetime Administration will give her a suitable punishment."

“…”

Hearing this, Lindy was completely speechless. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak directly.

"I'm sorry, Admiral Kulan, I think you've seen in the report that Precia has been imprisoned by the Tiandao Palace. Considering everything the Tiandao Palace has done in this incident, I think it's a very reasonable decision to hand Precia over to them for disposal. There's no need to create more trouble."

"Shut up!"

Admiral Kuran slammed the table fiercely, interrupting Lindy's report.

"Precia violated the laws of our Spacetime Administration, so she must be tried by our Spacetime Administration. This is a rule and an order! In addition, regarding the Tiandao Palace organization... I saw you said in your report that their main responsibility is to maintain the safety of humans and the Earth in the dimensional world?"

"That's right."

"In that case, they should cooperate with our Space-Time Administration. Didn't you negotiate with them on behalf of the Space-Time Administration?"

It came as expected.

Hearing this, Lindy sighed again. Lindy was also very clear about the inside story of the Space-Time Administration. The organization was established not long ago, but the power struggle between the Dimension Headquarters, the Ground Headquarters and the Holy King Church was always entangled. The Dimension Headquarters would always try their best to absorb the members or forces they met in other worlds to join in order to enhance their own strength. But the problem was...

"I have negotiated with the supreme ruler of Tiandao Palace, but they said that their goal is to protect the earth and human civilization, and they are not interested in anything else."

"If that's the case, then they shouldn't detain the Spacetime Administration's wanted suspect without authorization!"

"I told you, Admiral Kuran."

At this point, Lindy's tone unconsciously became tougher.

"I think this is a very appropriate judgment. The Earth Sphere is not within the sphere of influence of our Spacetime Administration. We have no right to prevent local forces from exercising their jurisdiction. The Heavenly Dao Palace has made a very appropriate judgment on Precia Testrosa, so there is no need for me to do anything unnecessary."

"But this concerns the reputation of our Space-Time Administration. If you retreat, won't that organization called Tiandao Palace look down on us?"

"They have very powerful magicians..."

"But in the report, we didn't see that the Tiandao Palace had enough power to fight against the dimensional fleet, right? Admiral Lindy?"

"…What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Lindy immediately raised her eyebrows and stared at the middle-aged man in front of her.

"I mean..."

As he spoke, Admiral Kuran put his hands on the table and stood up.

"We have to prove that the laws of our Spacetime Administration are sacred and inviolable. No one, no matter where they flee to or what forces they are protected by, can escape unscathed for violating the laws of the Spacetime Administration. Once such a precedent is set, what will happen in the future? No matter what, this precedent cannot be set!"

"This is against the rules. As a member of the Dimensional Fleet, it is impossible for me to..."

"I know."

Kuran waved his hand.

"I know you have your mission, so I have dispatched the Fifth Fleet directly under the Dimension Headquarters to Earth to capture Precia Testrosa!"

really!

Hearing this, Lindy lowered her head. What she feared had happened. The Fifth Fleet had a total of 15 dimensional warships, and its combat power was the top force in the dimensional world. There was no need to dispatch a fleet to capture a mere Precia. Obviously, this was the Spacetime Administration's plan to show its strength to the Tiandao Palace!

Although according to reason, from what Lindy saw, the Tiandao Palace itself did not have enough power to fight against the Space-Time Administration's dimensional fleet, but...

"I object to this, Admiral Kuran."

Lindy raised her head again and looked at the man on the screen in front of her.

"I will report my opinion to headquarters."

"Whatever you want."
