I would rather betray the gods

The cyborg's eyebrows twitched, clearly indicating that he was angered.

He slowly raised one foot and placed it on the pebble where Yuzu was sitting, his cat-like body looking directly into Yuzu's eyes. "Don't assume that I'm here with hostility."

I'm checking your ranking to see your abilities. What makes you so sure you can get out in seven days?

Even though he was a cyborg, his life characteristics were still quite obvious; Yuzu could smell his strong scent as soon as she took a sniff.

Yuzu pretended to scratch her ear, but actually turned her head away to avoid the question. "So you want to go out too? No way. I accidentally violated the natural order while punishing evil and promoting good. At most, I'm half good and half bad."

The cyborg smirked slightly. "The criminals imprisoned on this planet are all covered in blood. Guess why those so-called 'justices' only imprison them and don't execute them?"

In fact, Yuzu knew this place very well, which is why she came here seeking salvation. However, as a guest, she pretended not to know and showed an expression of wanting to be informed.

The cyborg didn't keep them in suspense any longer, saying, "We are all people who shattered the cakes of our respective home planets, and those kind people who survived don't want us to die."

Yuzu paused deliberately before replying, "I understand, you are all freedom fighters."

The cyborg nodded.

At this point, Yuzu bluntly extended a fist towards him, "I heard that there will be an annual Stargazing Festival here in seven days, and the star to be observed is the Star-Suppressing Artifact that has transformed into the starry sky."

"I will obtain the divine artifact to remove the heavenly punishment from my body. Then, when you leave, I will not let the artifact stop me."

Upon hearing this, the cyborg's brows furrowed, and after a long pause, he said, "I knew you weren't just an ordinary mortal, but what you're eyeing is the star's most precious treasure. How could the warden let you get it so easily?"

Yuzu smiled slightly, while shaking her outstretched fist. "So, you guys wanted to leave, didn't you?"

The cyborg looked up as if suddenly realizing something, and when he looked at Yuzu again, his eyes shone with a different kind of light, as if they were speaking: So it turns out that my initiative to come here was all a premeditated plan.

Immediately, he extended his fist and collided with Yuzu's fist, thus reaching an agreement...

As the cyborg's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, a flash of silver light appeared, followed by a beautiful young woman appearing beside Yuzu, who asked directly, "Have you taken the bait?"

The woman's name was Banlan. She had naturally light blue hair that was tied into pigtails. Her eyes were as clear and bright as glass, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed. She looked just like a stunningly beautiful girl from an anime.

Just like the girl in the anime, she has a very shapely figure, which makes the opposite sex who see her once inevitably fantasize.

But Yuzu didn't even glance at this stunningly beautiful woman, and simply said, "She's taken the bait."

Only when a sealed document was handed to him did he look up at Banlan and ask in surprise, "What's this?"

"Latest live report on the Milky Way," Banlan replied.

"What are you talking about?" Yuzu immediately lost interest when she heard it was a daily report. "Um... can you read it for me?"

Just as he thought, the people below were really afraid he would get bored.

"What are you reading? Can't you see the small print on the cover? It says 'Opened by the God-King himself!'"

The demure and charming Banlan suddenly became serious and a little emotional, pointing at the document and speaking loudly.

Sensing the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, Yuzu quickly sat up and took over the documents.

He knew that if he was negligent again, this brat would dare to slap the document in his face, even though he was a god-king who ruled over nearly one-twelfth of the Milky Way.

The report contained nothing unusual; everything in the Milky Way remained the same, and the hostile galaxies that had been eyeing the Milky Way made no breakthroughs and remained in the stage of eyeing the Milky Way.

However, the report concluded by mentioning that the divine groups in the hostile star system had already elected a leader.

"Isn't this a bad thing? The other side already has a leader, but our Galaxy is still a disorganized mess."

Moreover, the other side is much larger than us; if they attack one day, we won't be able to defend ourselves.

Yuzu closed the file, rested her chin on her hand, and fell into deep thought. Thinking that the map of the Milky Way was still at the same level as the states of the Spring and Autumn Period, her face darkened.

"Second Master, don't think too much about it. Right now, the priority should be to eliminate the divine punishment on your body," Banlan comforted him.

"Oh dear, it's better not to talk about this, it just gives me a headache."

I was just punished by heaven, not a criminal. Why do you have to package me as a serious offender and put me here?

And to be frank, this planet is under my jurisdiction, so even if I destroy it, no one can say anything.

Besides, I'm just here to reclaim what's rightfully mine.

After saying that, Youzi turned away sullenly, feeling very uncomfortable. She had done good deeds all her life, but ended up in jail.

"You have the nerve to complain? How jubilant were you when you defied the laws of nature and got struck by lightning? You turned an entire planet upside down, and I didn't stop you!"

Banlan glanced at him, then looked into the distance, where the center of this planet's system could be faintly seen...

Inside the warden's private pavilion.

The cyborg generated data from the scanned grapefruit and immediately submitted it to the warden.

The arrogant prison boss who was just moments before in front of Yuzu was actually a spy who colluded with the prison administration.

The warden sat at his desk, took the file, glanced at it, then took out another file from his drawer. After comparing them, he said, "Sure enough, the guy whose crime description on the profile page is blank is that person."

Upon seeing this, the cyborg couldn't help but ask, "Just who is this guy who looks no different from an ordinary person?"

See for yourself; the warden will release the comparative data.

The cyborg picked it up and examined it, his face, not covered by the metal sheet, gradually revealing surprise. "He... he's the one who was crowned God-King while still a mortal?"

"That's right," the warden nodded.

But then, a cunning glint appeared in his eyes, and he said in a probing tone, "I am the king of this planet, but he is the god-king who rules over countless planets. You can choose to terminate your cooperation with me because of his noble status."

The cyborg chuckled silently after hearing this, pressing his hands firmly on the table. "If the powerful could make me bow down, why would I be here? I only act according to my own beliefs."

The warden nodded again, his gaze turning appreciative. "Alright, you and the other inmate leaders make sure you're on my side in public opinion. I'll double your treatment afterwards."

After saying that, he picked up a sack of valuables, placed it on the table, and then pushed it toward the cyborg.

The cyborg looked at the sack but turned his back. "My brothers and I have never feared any authority, not even the King of Gods."

However, we have never abandoned justice. As far as I know, that artifact was once the exclusive property of the God-King.

I didn't know he was the God-King, so I could brazenly take away these treasures and enjoy myself with my brothers.

But now I know he is the King of Gods, and these treasures are beyond my reach.

As if he had anticipated this reaction, the warden simply took out a history book from his drawer and showed it to him.

He said, "Compared to the gods, you are ultimately just a mortal with a limited lifespan. You have only heard that the divine artifact once belonged to the God-King, but you do not know that it is all in the past."

This divine artifact was a relic of this god-king's previous life, before he became a god, when his blood fell to earth. After he ascended to godhood in his previous life, the spirit of the artifact fell into slumber.

It was only after the original deity arrived that the spirit of the divine artifact was reawakened and used to suppress the star.

The severing of ties across three lifetimes and two worlds only signifies their shared origins. If I were to say that the spirit of the divine artifact accompanies me, wouldn't that be perfectly reasonable?

"That's interesting."

The cyborg glanced at the history books, tossed them onto the table, and left with his valuables...
