Apophis says to Antanria “welcome back…”

Antanria got up without saying a word, the blanket that covered her body fell to the ground leaving her naked body visible, and suddenly a man threw a blow towards Apophis…

Apophis was caught off guard and had no time to defend himself. He was thrown backwards about 100 yards, through the wall of the room and into the parking lot where the rest of the guild members were, and then he crashed into the reinforced concrete wall of the parking lot.

Everyone waiting in the parking lot was immediately stunned and got into fighting position…

As the dust settled, Antanria could be seen standing naked, with two large red eyes open and dark energy coming out of her fist…

Suddenly, an unknown female voice said, “Leave me alone you human! “

Apophis still embedded in the wall, out of the wall, he had crushed some ribs but nothing serious….

He approached and said “Calm down…It’s me Antanria…”

Antanria was confused and said “Who?

Apophis answered “Apophis…”

Antanria said “Father!?”

She ran to throw herself into Apophis’ arms, the fifty members of Eclipse still stunned and looking at the scene was shocked…

When the members of eclipse saw this, it caused a slight uneasiness…there is already some theory that Apophis would have sexual relationship with Antanria…

Apophis said to Antanria “I see that you have progressed a lot…”

Antanria answered “Yes Father…”

Apophis said “Dress well Antanria, we are watching…”

Apophis gave his blouse that Hulk had given him, which was much bigger than Antanria’s body, in order to hide this intimate part…

Then he escorted Antanria in the isolated room so that she dresses again…

Once Antanria got dressed and Apophis had reassured everyone

Apophis went to Antanria and said “Well princess… I think it’s time we were a conservation…”.

Antanria astonished said the innocent and said “What do you want to talk about father?”

Apophis answered “That’s enough Antanria, I’m not your father, you know that, but what I do know is that you are hiding information from me about you and your people and the fall of Oralia…

Antanria was surprised and said “I… I don’t know what you are talking about…”

Apophis said: “That’s enough! I’ve been saving and protecting you for the last few months, you have to tell me the truth! How is it possible that you reached level C in only one week?”

Antanria answered “I trained very hard…”

Apophis sarcastically replied, “Trained to the point of causing a spontaneous genetic mutation, which made you grow five years and change your species?

Antanria was destabilized and answered “I…I…”

Apophis said in a serious tone, “I’ll ask you again, Antanria… What didn’t you tell me the first time we met?

Antanria started to cry, after all even if she had the body of a woman she was still a child in her head…

Apophis was annoyed by Antanria’s lack of cooperation and said, “I guess you can travel alone now…”

Apophis headed for the exit, when suddenly she said “Wait!”

Apophis turned around and Antanria said “I’ll tell you, but you have to promise not to judge me for this…”

Apophis said “Well, I’m listening…”

[0)ᴠᴇʟ Antanria answered “I lied…I remember what happened, especially during the fall of Oralia…When the great war embraced the empire and the galaxy, I was still a child, but I remember my father telling me successively that my three older brothers had died on the battlefield, and had fallen to the enemy…”

Apophis interrupted her and said “What enemy?”

Antanria answered “I don’t know, I was very young, I just remember the scene where my father learnt about the success of the Zetark Empire’s fleet and the loss of thousands of solar systems under the Empire’s control…”

Apophis said “How long did the war last?”

Antanria answered “two or three years, I think, but I’m not sure, I don’t understand most of it…”

Apophis replied, “Are you kidding me how the most technologically advanced empire in galactic history could lose control of the entire galaxy in such a short time?

Antanria answered him “I don’t know! I assure you Apophis! Even I have trouble understanding…”

Apophis answered “Anyway, let’s imagine that this is true, what happened next?”

Antanria answered “the battle of Oralia took place, all that remained of our fleet defended the capital of the empire, but at the same time a god descended on the planet and stormed the imperial palace…”

–

Stellar year 5997 – Oralia Prime system – Imperial Palace – War Room

Emperor Malekith VI and Princess Antanria were in the war room surrounded by the entire staff, around a huge control panel…

***Antanria said to Apophis “We were totally cornered, our subission defeated after defeated for three years…my father, once a calm and wise man, had become very nervous and radical… “***

Emperor Malekith said “What is the situation Lord Enel?

Lord Enel replied “The enemy fleet has just forced our defense sector near the moon of Erilia, they have destroyed most of our starbase defense, they have no survivors, they have then taken our self-defense space turrets and have crossed the huge magnetic minefield, to engage the 8th fleet over Oralia…

Emperor Malekith replied, “How did they do that in less than an hour? And our extra solar detection capabilities, did they not pick up anything?”

Lord Enel replied “No your Highness, their technology is so much better than ours that they can only slow it down…”

Emperor Malekit replied, “And why this sudden enemy attack on the Oralia Prime system? We were rather expecting them to attack other highly populated solar systems such as Terra Prime, Alinor Prime or even Valor Prime, where our defenses are very weak! Why would the enemy take the risk of attacking precisely the best fortified system where our 8th fleet resides?

Lord Enel replied, “I think they’re looking for a way to end it all…”

Emperor Melekith replied “I understand… begin the evacuation of the nobles and purebloods, once in orbit you will leave the system in hypervelocity to avoid battle, you will use a wormhole to leave the galaxy for our refuge…

Lord Enel replied “Well master, should you prepare an escort to the refuge for the princess and yourself?”

Emperor Melekith replied, “No, on my side I will stay here and activate the ultimate weapon when the palace is about to fall…”

Lord Enel said “The ultimate weapon!? Highness this may be too extreme…We still have many solar systems under our control in this galaxy…”

Emperor Melekith replied, “If we lose this space battle, we will have no way to turn the tide of the war, and if we lose I will bring the enemy down with us.”

Lord Enel, shocked, says “I don’t know what to say, the weapon will destroy the whole galaxy, it will mean the death of a trillion subjects… the gods will never accept this, they will intervene!

Emperor Melekith answers “Don’t worry about it Enel, our protector god is already keeping the other gods in check, so nothing will stop the process whether it is this “enemy” or the gods…When the empire falls it will be up to you to lead the surviving Zetarks out of this galaxy, you have the fate of our civilization on your shoulders Enel, don’t let me down…”.

***Antanria said to Apophis, “I could see all around my father the faces of the high ranking empire officials were sad and stern at the same time, for them their worlds and their lives were falling apart, with nothing they could do… “***

An hour later…a man violently entered the war room, it was Lord Vergor the steward of the palace…

Lord Vergo said to Melekith “Highness! The palace is under attack!”

Emperor Melekith replied, “How is that possible? The space battle has just begun! He should not be able to land on the planet so quickly!”

Lord Vergo replied “I don’t know Highness, our control posts were heavily attacked by a high ranking ascentionist! He literally crushed our guards and our own ascentionist guards!”

Emperor Melekith replied, “How can that be?

Suddenly a huge explosion less than a killometer away shook the palace…

Emperor Melekith say “Alright I’m going to the bunker in immediately!”

***Antanria said to Apophis “at that moment my father’s steward led the two of us and our ten bodyguards to the palace bunker, we had to go through the throne room… “***

Lord Vergo says “Hurry up your Highness! We are almost there…”

Suddenly the two huge doors of the Thrones room broke down…the ten guards of the corp who were all demigods stood around my father who was holding my hand…

Then a magnificent man entered the hall of thrones…

***Antanria said to Apophis, “I could see all around my father the faces of the high ranking empire officials were sad and stern at the same time, for them their worlds and their lives were falling apart, with nothing they could do… “***
