Time flies and half a month has passed.

It was the day of the Queen's birthday celebrations.

As eternal earls, the Rosen family rode in an extremely luxurious and sophisticated hovercraft, floating along the Silver Moon Avenue in Moon City, all the way to the Eternal Palace at the end of the avenue.

Silver Moon Avenue was also extremely lively on this day, with thousands of Eternal Nobles coming to participate in the Queen's birthday celebrations.

Together with the trusted retainers who followed the nobles to the banquet, the celebrities from various fields in the city, and the ordinary civilians who were joining in the fun on both sides of the avenue, the Silver Moon Avenue was almost blocked, as if all the residents of Moon City had come.

Fortunately, all the hovercrafts were guided by Juliet, so the road was not completely blocked after all, but the forward speed was very slow.

Rosen sat in the driver's seat of the hovercraft, looking lazy and indifferent, as if he had no interest in anything: "There are still too many residents in Moon City, and the chattering is giving me a headache."

The Count looked no different from usual, and the family members in the car didn't feel anything was wrong.

The countess smiled and said, "My dear, it will be more lively when there are more people. Otherwise, it will be so lonely."

Patricia, the only unmarried daughter, was lying by the window, looking around the crowd outside with interest, and suddenly shouted:

"Father, mother, look over there, the queen is coming out of the palace~~ This is quite strange."

Rosen turned his head and saw a large floating platform slowly rising in the direction of the palace, with a "giant" at least 10 meters tall standing on the platform.

If you look closely, you can see that it is light and shadow that has been deliberately magnified, and it is the appearance of Queen Egdelyn.

Compared to the shy appearance she had seen in the mortal world, at this moment, Egdelin was wearing a glowing imperial robe and crown, holding the Eternal Scepter, looking majestic and indifferent, as if she were a god who dominated the fate of all living beings.

At the first glance, Rosen's heart moved slightly, and an idea came to his mind that he had ignored because of his preconceived idea.

"Aigdelyn is a 23rd-ring Eternal Powerful One who can already sense the existence of the Source Essence. She is also the owner of Juliet's highest authority and possesses many powerful True Divine Artifacts, including the Mantra Gem with amazing effects."

"If there is anyone in the Eternal Empire who can obtain the power of a true god, then the most likely person is definitely a 23-ring Eternal Master. There are only three Eternal Masters in the Eternal Empire, and the Queen is the one with the highest status."

If we ignore her previous experiences in the mortal world and rely solely on known information, the Eternal Queen seems to be the biggest suspect behind the scenes.

But problems then arise.

"But she is already the queen, and she is also an eternal strong person. What can't she do? It seems that there is no need to destroy the empire at all?"

There is a sense of absurdity that the emperor is plotting a rebellion to overthrow his own throne.

I really couldn't figure it out, so I continued to hide in the dark and observe.

At this time, the Eternal Queen began to give a speech, and the voice of her speech was directly transmitted by Juliet to the souls of every resident of Moon City.

"Citizens of Moon City, today is the 409th anniversary of my birth. I am somewhat happy because although the empire has gone through many hardships, we are still able to live well."

“But I am more sentimental.”

"Because under my rule, the glory of the Eternal Empire is gone, the land is covered with scars, and countless people are wailing in the ruins."

"I know that many people deliberately ignore the tragic situation on earth and only want to live their own lives. But I want to say that without the support of the earth, Moon City will fall from the sky one day."

“I think this day is definitely not far away.”

"If you're lucky, it may be a thousand years later. If you're unlucky, it may not even be a hundred years later."

"For our own destiny and the destiny of the empire, we must make changes!"

Inside the hovercraft, Rosen commented coldly: "The Queen is once again trying to scare the people with a future that is impossible to happen."

Patricia whispered, "Father, what if what the Queen said is true?"

Rosen sneered: "The power consumption of Moon City is very low, and the city stores enough eternal essence to last Moon City for one million years. As long as there is no chaos, Moon City can float in the sky for at least 500,000 years."

"It's been half a million years. Who among us can see what will happen half a million years from now? What does what will happen half a million years from now have to do with us?"

Patricia obviously disagreed and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Rosen glared at her: "I know you young people like to make trouble, but as long as I am alive, I will definitely take care of you."

Patricia pouted and kept silent.

On the other hand, the Queen's impromptu speech caused a lot of discussion among the citizens of Moon City.

Some people agree, some disagree, some clearly oppose, and some do not care.

Reactions varied.

The Queen did not stop her speech. She continued, "My people, there is some news that has been covered up. I must announce it to you today."

Speaking of this, the Queen's face was stern and her tone was solemn.

Most of the audience also pricked up their ears.

"We have always believed that it is impossible for life to have magic power beyond the 23rd ring, and it is impossible for life to have the ability to enter the solar magic ring. But today I want to say that this conclusion is wrong, extremely wrong!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face showed shock.

Patricia couldn’t help it again: “Father, what does this mean?”

Rosen snorted coldly: "She is playing tricks!"

The Queen's voice continued.

"You must be asking me why. There must be people who don't believe me and think I'm lying."

"But I have found a lot of ironclad evidence. I have even personally come into contact with extraordinary strong men above the 23rd ring."

As she spoke, the Queen suddenly raised her hand. A light flashed in front of her hand, revealing a video. The protagonist of the video was Rosen walking in the mortal world:

"Look at this man. Juliet can't find any imperial marks on him, which means he is an outsider."

"At first glance, he doesn't seem to be anything special."

"But I'm telling you, Juliet can see him when he wants to."

"When he doesn't want to."

There was a flash of light in the image, and Rosen disappeared, but he sneaked into the underground secret room.

"No matter how hard Juliet searched, she could not find him."

"Now, she is unable to find such a living person. This is enough to prove that this person has a power beyond the 23rd ring."

At this point, not to mention Patricia, even the Countess was a little surprised. She couldn't help but say, "My dear, it seems that the Queen has really discovered something extraordinary."

Rosen insisted, "Images can be faked. It's easy."

When Patricia heard this, she finally couldn't help it.

"Father, images can be faked, but fake images cannot be hidden from everyone."

"If you look carefully at the image presented by the Queen, you should know that this is definitely the original image provided by Juliet, because there is no trace of modification at all."

Rosen was furious: "Shut up!"

"I won't!"

Patricia pouted and protested: "Father, I just don't understand, what's wrong with rebuilding the empire? Don't you think this little Moon City is very boring and dull?"

Rosen followed the earl's memory and growled in anger, "What do you know?"

"Once the empire is revived, the Queen will find a way to regain full control over Juliet. Given what our family has done over the past three hundred years, the day we regain control will be the day our eternal title ends."

"By then, our entire family will be dead!"

These words shocked the two women so much that their faces turned pale and they were speechless for a long time.

Rosen took a deep breath and said softly, "So, if we want the good times to continue, we must maintain the current state."

As he spoke, he overturned his previous speculation about the Queen.

Because his eyes had penetrated the outer wall of the palace and saw the true body of the queen.

Just like what was seen in the mortal world before, it was still only the 23rd ring of magic power, and apart from carrying a large number of naturally formed true artifacts on his body, no traces of power exceeding the 23rd ring were found.

Of course there is another possibility.

That is, this queen actually possesses a higher level of divine power than himself, and her skills in controlling divine power are far superior to his, and she uses these skills to perfectly hide her true divine power.

This may also exist.

Because this Queen of Pain controls a large amount of resources of the Eternal Empire, she can also call on the empire's magical geniuses to serve her, and she came into contact with the true gods of other worlds hundreds of years earlier than herself.

Considering the other party's extraordinary talent in magic that he had advanced to the 23rd ring in just over 400 years, it might not be impossible for him to secretly increase his divine power to an incredible level.

If this possibility really happens, then Egdelin will be the strongest person in this world! Rosen still pretended to be the Eternal Earl Gauntkin, but his mind was turning rapidly, thinking about all possibilities.

While he was thinking, the hovercraft carrying the Earl and his family arrived at the gate of the palace. Less than a hundred meters ahead, they would enter the Eternal Palace.

Looking at the extremely grand and gorgeous palace gate in front of him, Rosen suddenly had a vague sense of crisis in his heart.

It seemed that behind the big gate in front was not endless glory, but an unknown world that was dark and deep to the extreme.

He immediately understood that no matter whether there was a problem with Egdelin or not, the Eternal Palace was a den of dragons and tigers.

Once he goes in, it is very likely that something will happen that is far beyond his expectations and far beyond the limits of his power.

'Are you going in or not?!'

After a split second of decision, Rosen decisively chose to give up the investigation.

Now that he had discovered traces of the existence of an unpredictable force, if he still insisted on stepping in, what difference would it make to a stupid beast caught in a trap? With this thought in mind, Rosen prepared to retreat.

In order not to alert the powerful being lurking in the darkness, he planned to leave quietly.

"Honey, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I need to go to the back cabin to relieve myself."

The hover car is very spacious and has many compartments. It is equipped with a full range of functions, including a bathroom for personal hygiene problems.

After entering the bathroom, Rosen had an idea and used the "Words Come True" technique to directly create a body for the count, and then put the count's soul directly into it.

Of course, with his careful operation, the count would not feel anything unusual.

While operating, Rosen suddenly remembered the teleportation key that Egdelyn left him before she left.

The key leads directly to the teleportation room in the back garden of the palace.

I remembered what the Queen said shyly before she left.

I thought it was cute at the time and thought I had won the Queen's favor.

At this moment, I felt a wave of palpitations, as if I was dancing with death.

If his will was not firm and he lost control and was really teleported into the palace, he would be no different from a fish that had taken the hook.

"After becoming a true god, I thought I was invincible in this world. I became increasingly arrogant and looked down on the strong men in the world. I almost fell into a trap."

Rosen did all this during some self-reflection.

He then quietly left the hovercraft and disappeared into the crowd watching the ceremony on the roadside.

When he reached the roadside, he looked up at the suspended stream of cars in the sky queuing to enter the palace gate. His heart was slightly shocked and he saw a very vague illusion of time.

He saw that in the near future, these gorgeous hovercrafts would line up and float out of the palace gate again.

But unlike when they entered, the cabin of each hover car was empty, without a single passenger.

Where are the passengers? Are they alive or dead?

Completely unaware.

Rosen originally planned to retreat directly.

But after seeing this illusion, he decided to stay outside the palace as an ordinary citizen of Moon City to see what would happen next.
