"Let me let you feel the sunshine, you shouldn't hate it, right?" Leo remembered that Empera's aversion to light stemmed from her past experiences, but now she didn't actually have that much hostility towards the sun.

"Then why couldn't you do that before eating the extra spicy chicken wings?" Emperor glared fiercely at Leo, the Dark Emperor who surprisingly couldn't handle spicy food very well.

"Next time, definitely next time." Leo had really forgotten about it, but to be honest, there wasn't much to do walking around, so he simply sat down on the grass by the river and lay down to sunbathe.

"This light is both repulsive and frustrating." Apella looked at the sun in the sky with a complicated expression. On one hand, the scars of the past made her hostile to the light, but she had to admit that she instinctively relied on and enjoyed the sun's light.

Once upon a time, before the sun of Planet Empera was destroyed, he himself lived under a similar light. No matter how heavy his resentment was, Empera could not deny the fact that his essence was light.

"Leo, light or darkness, which do you prefer?" Empera looked at Leo, who had already closed his eyes.

"You're still agonizing over this kind of question?" Leo's voice was a little languid; actually, he was a bit sleepy. "Too much light can be blinding, and too much darkness can be disorienting, so..."

“So?” Empera propped her chin up, watching Leo roll over and lie on his side because of the bright sun. “So I want it all. That’s what I answered when Director Sawai asked me back then. Power is power, and how I use it is up to me.”

"Including me?" Ampera reverted to his previous self-reference.

"Do you now think you're not part of my strength?"

Indeed, this emperor of the dark universe has been helping Leo from the moment he chose to cooperate with him. However, it is only now that Leo dares to say this directly. In the past, this dark emperor would have been furious.

"Are you angry?" Leo was very sleepy. If Ampera was really angry, he could just let her pinch him a couple of times. A lot had happened in the past few days, and thinking about it all took a lot of energy.

Sometimes, Leo just wants to lie quietly like this, doing nothing, basking in the sun, and then going to sleep.

“No.” Even Apera herself found it unbelievable. At the beginning, she and Leo were just cooperating, but now she was almost indulging him… Oh no, if you really want to talk about it, it seems like she was the one being indulged.

“If you need it, you can take my power directly, I don’t mind… No, I’m glad I can help you, Leo.”

Ampera knew that Leo was asleep; otherwise, she wouldn't have said those things directly. Regarding the position that had been promised to Leo, she also had a suitable idea.

The Four Heavenly Kings and the Two Generals? No, those positions are too narrow for Leo. Give him half of the Dark Universe? Forget it, Leo isn't interested in those either. After thinking it over, Emperor could only make him one promise.

However, this promise can wait until later when she can say it in person. As for now, perhaps because she still empathizes with Leo, Ampera is also a little sleepy, so she simply snuggles into Leo's arms like that day and takes his hand to place on her waist.

Sensing the obvious anger of a few individuals, Ampera felt inexplicably good. This feeling was quite nice; he might try it more often in the future.

"Big sister, calm down! Calm down, big sister!" Dimaga desperately stopped Zetton and Eleking. "Boss has been very exhausted these past few days, you know that. If you make a big fuss, he'll have a headache again!"

"I'm going to break that sword in two, break it in two!" Zetton rarely showed such obvious anger, and he almost went into EX mode on the spot, while Eleking even took out eight-point halo.

Can't these two be as calm as Sister Renlong...? Uh, wait, why does it sound like an earthquake?

"Uh, Lord Galactron, what's wrong?" Looking at Galactron, who suddenly punched through the factory's steel plate, Ako couldn't help but swallow hard. This steel plate was so tough that even a nuclear bomb wouldn't leave a crater.

"It's nothing, I just found a mosquito."

"Oh, oh, oh." Yako nodded quickly. As for where the mosquitoes came from on Jupiter, she didn't dare to ask. She quickly started moving and tidying up her new laboratory.

While contemplating whether to throw the Darkweave Cloth into the sun, Galactron forced himself to calm down and gave Ako some instructions.

"As a Reonic, Leo's sense of morality is higher when he is not hostile, so your research should try to avoid involving live animal modification, understand?"

"Do you understand? Mechanical modifications aren't my forte. I usually take parts of the research subject and cultivate and integrate them."

Mainly because of poverty, Ayako's research funding was insufficient, and mechanical modifications were very expensive. However, looking at the dozens of mechs that Galactron had placed in the factory, which were replicas of her own, Ayako couldn't help but look at her and ask, "Lady Galactron, do we also have a weapons sales business?"

"No, the replicas of this machine are only for Leo's use. If there are projects for sale to the public, we will consider them separately."

The mechs produced so far are all intended to assist Leo in protecting Earth or conquering the universe, and they are all made by Galactron in imitation of her appearance. She does not allow anyone other than Leo to possess them.

"So what is my job?" Ako asked cautiously. She had personally witnessed this man wipe out an entire fleet with a single shot on the surveillance footage.

"Your task is to assist Leo in developing the potential of Dimaga and Zetton. Otherwise, it's up to you, just don't harm the Earth."

Galactron thought for a moment. Leo hadn't assigned Ayako any specific tasks, nor had he restricted her movements. Ayako was pleasantly surprised to find that she seemed to have more freedom than she had expected. "Can I go to Earth for a visit?"

"...Okay, but we can't cause trouble."

It seems that although her new ally has a close relationship with Emperor, he is much easier to talk to than Emperor. Ako is quite happy. If it were Leo, perhaps he could help her achieve her goal!

Just as Ako was thinking this, she suddenly saw on the monitor that an unknown spaceship had entered the solar system. "Aren't you going to intercept it, Your Excellency?"

"With this level of energy reaction, Earth's defense forces could easily handle it. Based on analysis, the most likely landing location for the enemy is... Leo's place."

Right now, some people are still seething with anger. Whoever goes there will be doomed. Galactron doesn't need to worry about them at all.

Zetton and Eleking, who were itching to tear the Darkweave Cloth apart, both looked up at the sky. A capsule-shaped object fell to the ground, and with a puff of red smoke, a huge and terrifying monster appeared in the city. At the same time, the surrounding broadcasting system was hacked.

"A solemn warning to Earthlings: Surrender to our planet Melani within twelve hours, or our destructive beast, Mos'aga, will annihilate your civilization within a day!"

"Destroy human civilization in a single day? What a boastful tone." Miss Jetton looked at Moss Aja as if she were looking at a corpse, chillingly cold.

Eleking smiled, the powerful electric current emanating from him had already electrocuted a large number of fish in the river. Dimaga quickly went to scoop them up; they couldn't be wasted.

Mos'a is a powerful combat weapon from the planet Melani, but unfortunately it arrived at the wrong time. By the time Leo woke up, it was already afternoon, and Empera in his arms was still asleep.

Zetton and Eleking were right there, their bodies stained with Mos'a's blood. Zetton was expressionless with a dull look in his eyes, while Eleking had a smile on his face and was holding a piece of Mos'a's tail tip in his hand. They looked... truly terrifying.

Chapter 122 Leo's Future Is Not Optimistic

Mos'a died a terrible death. Although Leo didn't even notice when it appeared, judging from Dimaga's trembling appearance, Zetton and Eleking were probably really angry this time, to the point that their methods were a bit excessive.

But the battle will not last long, because ESCG didn't even have time to send a notification to Leo before Mos'ajia was eliminated.

As for why Zetton and Eleking became like this, Leo didn't... not know. Rather, he had always had a guess in his mind, but he lacked just one piece of evidence to make it clear. If he still couldn't figure it out today, he might as well change his name to Lightningwood.

"Why is it all fish today?" After finishing her work, Mephisto looked at the table full of dishes in confusion. "Braised fish, sweet and sour fish, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, grilled fish, boiled fish... Did you guys go fishing at sea?"

"These are freshwater fish, wild from the nearby river. But the water quality in that river is very good, so you can eat them freely."

Miss Renlong calmly picked up her chopsticks. As the only person in the family besides Leo who was in charge of cooking, she could eat whatever she wanted when Leo wasn't around. This was also why Dimaga would rather be beaten up by Zetton than offend her.

And thankfully, environmental protection hasn't been neglected in recent years, so we don't have to worry about getting sick from eating these foods. But honestly, my family could probably eat the entire periodic table of elements without any problems.

"These are all... caught by King Elek. For the next long, we probably won't have to worry about fish for a while."

Leo felt a little guilty. It wasn't just a family of three in that river; probably nine generations of their families were on this table and in the freezer. Because he couldn't finish it, Leo also sent some to his uncles in the village when he came back.

Hearing Leo praise him, Eleking's tail happily lashed the floor several times, making a crisp crackling sound. The crescent horn on its head spun even faster. Leo was genuinely curious how Eleking could be so intelligent when its monster girl form's monster features were all detachable.

"However, you can't use electricity to fish again next time, understand?" Leo felt that he would have to spend a lot of time gradually correcting Eleking and the others' views. Eleking nodded to indicate that he understood.

Anyway, there are plenty of ways, it's just that electrofishing is faster. King Elek's mood improved a lot, and he was really looking forward to tonight. Yesterday, because Leo stayed up all night to handle official business, he couldn't keep his promise, but he could tonight!

If any ungrateful monster dares to disturb her good time tonight, she'll electrocute it into a charred corpse!

Zetton and Renlong have always maintained the habit of not speaking while eating. Galactron is busy developing Leo's power. Magabasa's words have flown away, after all, he has been sealed off for so many years and is feeling restless.

Empera rested in the dark patterned cloth, while Eleking... for some reason, she didn't eat and just kept staring at Leo, making Leo wonder if she had included him in the diet.

The person sitting in Leo's lap right now is Dimaga. She seems to be frightened. She's trembling everywhere except when she's in Leo's lap. Leo thinks she might have been frightened by Zetton and the others.

After all, Zetton and Eleking were trained as weapons, so they didn't pay much attention to efficiency in combat and didn't care about the methods. Demaga, on the other hand, was a latecomer to the field, and the girl was also quite young, just reaching adulthood.

"Is Sister Mephisto planning to reopen the jewelry store?" Leo comforted Dimaga while feeding her, then looked at Mephisto, who nodded. "Pretty much, it's been open for so many years."

Leo and Mephisto chatted casually, trying to make the atmosphere at the table less dull. At this moment, Leo really missed Magabasa, whose mouth never stopped. Dimaga in his arms was also quite nice.

After all, compared to Zetton and Eleking, at least Dimaga didn't give him that chill down his spine. Leo couldn't understand it. He still didn't understand what Zetton and Eleking saw in him.

Leo wasn't really stupid. After realizing that Zetton and Eleking were indeed jealous, a problem arose in front of him: how should he deal with their feelings? He couldn't very well tell them that he actually liked Renlong the most.

Okay, it feels like even if he didn't say it, there's a person in this family... um, I forgot that the number of people in this family is low, but most people have probably figured it out, except for Magabassa and Di Maga, of course.

“Suddenly I realized, am I the youngest in this family?” As soon as Leo spoke, everyone looked over, even Ampera, who was lying in the dark patterned cloth, sat up.

"Leo, why are you suddenly asking this?" Renlong glanced at Mephiss subconsciously and found that the guy's eyes were full of expectation.

Zetton and Eleking also looked at Leo curiously, wondering why he would suddenly bring this up.

"Well, I'm a little over nine years old, and I'll be ten next month," Leo gestured. "Although I don't know the lifespan of Reibloodians, even if we calculate it according to the lifespan of Earthlings, I'm still a minor, right?"

“That’s right.” Renlong roughly guessed what Leo was going to say, and his expression was a bit strange. He glanced at Mephisto again, and saw that this guy had wiped his drool several times! If Leo didn’t still look like an adult, this guy might have pounced on him right now.

"Then I'd better not consider dating." Leo lowered his head and continued eating. Zetton and Renlong squinted slightly, while Eleking tilted his head, seemingly not quite understanding what Leo meant. Mefilas lowered his head to avoid laughing and scaring Leo.

Leo, engrossed in his meal, was completely oblivious to the pity in Dimaga's eyes as she looked at him. She realized that Leo wasn't as clever as she was in this regard.

Hey boss, this trick won't work. Sister Jetton and the others never even considered dating you, okay? Do you think Sister Aileen knows what dating is? Sister Renlong isn't going to be fooled by you like that either; she's not Magabassa!

Dimaga silently made the sign of the cross for Leo in his heart. If Jesus could beat Miss Zetton, who was close to EX-level, no, he couldn't let his boss suffer a terrible fate. He couldn't let Sister Zetton and Sister Ereshkigal succeed. So be it, he wouldn't mind taking a beating.

"Boss." Dimaga grabbed Leo's sleeve with a look of grim determination. "Can you sleep with me tonight? I'm a little scared."

"Dimaga, all that pampering you wasn't for nothing!" Leo was deeply moved. He had no idea that these girls had actually arranged everything for him behind the scenes.

Dimaga still seems to lack some training, Zetton thought, planning to have Dimaga practice his resilience later. Renlong, on the other hand, was thinking about how to help Leo get through the night. Although they had signed the "Leo Family Public Agreement," it didn't say that they had to abide by it.

Eleking didn't react much after hearing this. It was just one more person; she didn't care. After all, Eleking only had 27 hours at a time, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to generously give Dimaga ten minutes.

It was fine if I was slow to notice before, but now that I have noticed, I have a premonition about many things. I guess what that Zettonian said is true. Eleking has always liked to wrap its tail around him and discharge electricity, probably because it is really in its mating season.

Zetton has been unusually irritable lately, perhaps because he's in this stage of life. He truly sees himself as a partner, hence his strong possessiveness... However, Leo thinks that his age might not be suitable for this situation.

"No, that's not right." Suppressing her inner elation, Mephiss pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Leo. "Leo, aren't you Leonics? The adulthood standards for Reiblood are different from yours, right?"

“No,” Leo said, biting his chopsticks. “Rebrando said she’s my biological mother.”

With a few "clattering" sounds, everyone except Leo dropped their chopsticks, and everyone's gaze towards Leo changed. Zetton and Renlong's eyes sharpened.

"Reiblood is your biological mother?" Mephis looked at Leo in disbelief. Although she had long known that Leo was a bit too strong for a Leonics, she never thought that Leo was Reiblood's biological son.

“It’s not quite right to call her my biological mother, is it? I’m not even her biological child, I’m more like she created me.” Leo pondered, while Jaden asked in confusion, “Leo, you’ve already met Rei Browndo?”

"Ah."

"Then why didn't you tell us?"

Jetton's words left Leo unsure how to respond. He couldn't very well say that he was worried about everyone being overly concerned if they found out. Leo could sense that Reiblood had no ill intentions, but others might not.

Moreover, Reiblood had borrowed Dimaga's body back then, and might be observing him in the same way now. Leo was worried that everyone would become distant from Dimaga as well.

"Because I dreamt about her when I was sleeping this afternoon." Leo spread his hands, then lowered his head and pretended to feed Dimaga, so as not to give himself away.

Things are definitely different from what Leo said, but Leo doesn't want to talk about it, and no one is going to keep asking. Their minds are mostly on something else right now.

Leo was avoiding their feelings, which was also part of Galactron's analysis. Rather, it was because Galactron predicted that Leo himself had absolutely no experience in love and might avoid or refuse them that he chose to have everyone sign an agreement to prevent anyone from taking any extreme actions. Yes, that's right, I'm talking about Zetton.

"Leo~~" Emperor's voice, like a ghost from hell, came from behind Leo. She emerged from the fighting device, her chin resting on Leo's head. "Did you ask her where my Dark Armor is?"

This dark emperor no longer hides his affection for Leo, reveling unabashedly in the warm darkness emanating from him.

"Well, she said it was just a coincidence, and when she saw you and Juda fighting for a while, she just grabbed the freebie." If Reiblood wasn't lying, that's exactly what happened.

"Hmph, how dare she steal my things! I'll make her return them next time we meet."

Empera frowned unhappily, and everyone's attention shifted from Leo to her, especially Mephisto, who was astonished as if she had discovered a new universe. This was no longer just a change of personality; it was as if she had become a completely different person!

"You're just returning her? I thought you were going to kill her outright..." Leo voiced everyone's thoughts. Even though Empera hasn't done anything in this family yet, the title of Dark Emperor still holds true.

"Although I really want to do that, given your relationship with Reiblood, I can't refuse to be lenient in this matter for your sake."

Ampera crossed her arms, completely unaware of the immense impact her words had on Mefilas. Tolerance? Back then, she had almost talked herself hoarse just to get the Emperor to allow some civilizations in the Dark Universe to retain the sun.

Now, facing Reiblood, who stole his Dark Armor, the Emperor actually said he would let the matter drop for Leo's sake. Is Emperor Empera a tsundere without so much resentment?

Mephis was deeply shocked, and then she became increasingly aware of a problem. She had thought that the Emperor inside the Dark Cloth was just a large part of his self-awareness, but now it seemed that in order to prevent the Dark Armor from being completely lost, the Emperor had subconsciously rejected the light part of his body!

Oh no! What if my stupid little brother, who took over my position as one of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, dies in the Dark Universe?

Ampera didn't notice Mephisto's expression. Actually, she herself found it quite unbelievable. If this had happened half a month ago, Leo would have turned on her immediately if he had dared to advise her. How could he be so forgiving now?

"In the end, if it weren't for her sudden appearance and the theft of my dark armor, I wouldn't have separated my own consciousness to reside within the dark patterned cloth, and I wouldn't have met you."

"Although it is possible that someone is manipulating things behind the scenes and deliberately sending the Dark Cloth to your side, I am truly glad that it chose you and not someone else."

At first, Empera was annoyed by Darkweave's betrayal, but now she didn't care anymore. Leo was her man, and Darkweave had been prescient. Empera decided not to melt it down; giving it to Leo was not giving it to an outsider.

Of course, the Dark Armor still needs to be retrieved. Empera plans to modify it and then give it to Leo. After all, she herself has only worn it a few times, so giving it to Leo wouldn't be a waste.

“Leo.” Emperor Empera suddenly remembered something and put his hand on Leo’s shoulder. “After things are over on Earth, I want to take you to see the Dark Universe.”

"What are you going to do in the Dark Universe? Do you think your men will let me go?"

You have to understand that Leo just stole Yapool's Super Beast and beat up Mefilas's subordinates. In fact, he and Emperor should both know that in the distant future, Leo will most likely have to go to war with the Dark Universe.

He couldn't possibly put the Empera self in the Dark Pattern back into that resentful body. Otherwise, it's hard to say how much humanity the Empera would have compared to the current one, especially since he was influenced by resentment. The most likely scenario is that he would agree to protect Earth one day, but soon after, he would launch a massive invasion, intending to hollow out the entire Earth in order to obtain the power of ultimate darkness.

Another possibility, as Mefilas suggested, is that if the resentment and anger of those who died on Planet Empera completely consumed that empty shell of a body, they might not be willing to welcome Empera back to this planet and allow him to once again influence their revenge against all light.

“I want to take you to Planet Empera,” Empera said. “I want to show you my home planet.”

"Could it be that they eloped and never came back..." A voice came from somewhere. Renlong frowned, stomped his high-heeled foot hard on the dragon head that had suddenly appeared under the table, and told Renba, that gossipy guy, to go back to guarding the seal.
