Souta came back to the palace without anyone noticing. He was a little surprised by the information that woman gave him.

That woman, Lydia, wasn't local to this world. She was from another world that was much more advanced than this one. It was a civilization that ruled over five hundred thirty-two worlds. It was called the Great Astley Empire.

In truth, the Great Asltey Empire found more than a hundred thousand worlds, but most of it didn't have any creatures that were living in it. The environment was too extreme for people to live in it. Only people with enough strength could handle those extreme environments.

The empire didn't stop expanding its territory. They continued to plunder and invade any worlds that they had discovered. They were trying to find resources and worlds with high energy densities.
