Damian reappeared where he was originally, everything remained the same, and the people around him seemed paralyzed with fear.
His family looked at him with concern after his sudden outburst.
Damian forced a slight smile before speaking to them.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away for a moment," Damian said before shifting his gaze to his daughters, who were looking at him curiously, not fully understanding what had happened.
"Did something happen?" Carol asked, gripping Damian's hand with concern while using her other hand to keep their daughters close to her.
"Tivan, that... guy, wanted to collect," Damian said, pausing briefly as he looked at his daughters.
Carol's eyes also shimmered with cosmic energy, but she didn't say anything because of their daughters' presence.
"Let's go back," Carol said almost as a command.
No one in the group opposed it, and they all boarded the ship before departing.
The girls remained silent as they held their mothers' hands. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew it was best to wait.
The ship quickly arrived at the star destroyer before the entire family disembarked.
The scientist quickly received Damian with a serious expression. He had witnessed what had happened and wanted more details.
"My lord," the scientist said upon seeing his king emerge.
"Hm, there's no need to wait any longer. Send the soldiers to take control of the place," Damian said, nodding at the scientist.
"Yes, sir," the scientist said solemnly, activating the alarm on his tablet to alert all the soldiers to prepare.
The scientist didn't need any further instructions. Within 15 minutes, he had several hundred soldiers on ships departing from the cruiser towards Knowhere.
Hundreds of soldiers, led by the Spartans, disembarked from the ships and began securing the entire area.
A curfew was imposed, and everyone was forced to temporarily return to their homes while they took control of the place.
Several people resisted, but none posed a major problem.
In less than a day, Knowhere was completely under Damian's control.
Without Tivan, the Tivan group naturally disbanded, and his subordinates surrendered immediately, revealing all of Tivan's operations, including the fact that he had a brother.
With control over Knowhere, the scientist began extracting the necessary resources for the armor before loading everything onto the ships.
However, the scientist didn't know what they would do with Knowhere. They needed it, but it would also be inconvenient to leave soldiers guarding the place.
Not to mention that they would have to leave the Spartans to ensure they could protect it.
With these doubts, the scientist, who had returned to the ship, walked towards his king to see what decision he would make.
Lightly tapping on the door, the scientist waited a few seconds until his king opened it.
Internally, he sighed with relief upon seeing that his mood seemed normal.
He could still recall his king's outburst of fury, although he wasn't present to know what happened, and he definitely didn't dare to ask. He assumed it must have been something related to the little princesses.
His king is a very kind and courteous person, but after this event, he could see that he also has an irritable side when it comes to people he cares about.
"My lord, we have taken control of the center of Knowhere, but I'm not sure what we will do with the place after obtaining the materials," the scientist said to his king.
"I was also thinking about that matter," Damian said, nodding before stepping out and closing the door.
Both of them walked towards the control center as they conversed.
"I was thinking of taking all of Knowhere with us, but I'm not exactly sure where to put it," Damian said as they walked.
"We could place it in a strategic location and turn it into a trading hub," the scientist said, nodding. He hadn't thought about moving it, sometimes he forgets the ridiculous things his king can do.
"Yes, it's a good idea. We just have to find the right place," Damian said, ideally somewhere with a nearby jump point and in a central area, not too far from Earth either, to reinforce the place in case of an attack.
Both of them arrived at the control center, where several images of the situation in Knowhere were displayed.
"How much raw material is there?" Damian casually asked.
"There's enough to create the remaining 90 armors," the scientist said, In addition, there was still a lot to be extracted.
"Any interesting information?" Damian asked, satisfied. Finally, everyone would have their armor, and with this, they would have more workforce.
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
"As a matter of fact, there is," the scientist said, ironically smiling.
"All the materials had already been sold by Tivan and only needed to be delivered. We need to decide how we're going to deal with Tivan's customers who will come demanding the materials," the scientist said.
"Hm, we'll deal with that when those people arrive," Damian said before falling silent for a moment.
"Let a few people go so the word spreads. Let's see who dares to come," Damian said.
"Yes, sir," the scientist said, nodding.
...
A day quickly passed, and the three imposing ships continued to float in front of Knowhere.
Damian was waiting for someone to come and claim the materials they had purchased, but so far, no one had contacted them.
They had also let many people go, so surely the news had already spread.
After all, Tivan was quite famous in the galaxy, both for his collection and the time he had lived.
Damian was having breakfast peacefully with his family.
His daughter Ivy happily sat on one of his legs as he fed her.
After finishing, Damian gently wiped her mouth before sitting her next to him and starting to eat himself.
They had been on the ships for about two days now, and it was becoming somewhat boring. Damian was ready to go home if nothing happened that day.
Everything in Knowhere was already under control, and the scientist had spoken with the workers who had agreed to continue working.
Several hours passed quickly, and seeing that no one came to claim the materials, Damian decided to leave.
The three ships quickly began to accelerate toward the jump point as Damian dragged the huge head slightly behind the ships.
At that moment, the ship's scanners flashed faintly, indicating the presence of several ships emerging from jump points in the distance.
The scientist quickly approached the instruments and saw that more ships kept appearing in the distance.
After a few minutes, the radar detected 100 ships heading towards them.
Still, the scientist didn't panic, not to mention the fact that their king could easily get rid of those ships; the ships were actually quite small.
As they approached closer, the scientist immediately identified which civilization they belonged to and couldn't help but give an ironic smile.
Only the Sovereigns would use those types of golden ships. Messing with the Sovereigns is very bothersome; they're terribly vengeful, like a rabid dog that won't stop biting you.
Their ships are also controlled, and even if you kill them, you're really just destroying one ship, and another one will replace it.
"Activate the shields and prepare the weapons. If they open fire, destroy their ships," the scientist said while sending a message to their king.
Damian had already detected the situation and was on his way to the control center.
Damian stood next to the scientist with crossed arms, watching as the ships approached.
The ships stopped several hundred meters away and made no movements for several minutes until they sent a communication signal.
In front of Damian, a hologram unfolded, displaying a fully golden woman.
"Who am I speaking to?" asked the leader of the Sovereigns, Ayesha. She spoke cautiously but couldn't help the arrogance in her tone.
Damian simply smiled indifferently before giving his name.
Ayesha couldn't help but purse her lips at the almost mocking look from the man.
"Tivan had something that belongs to us. I would like you to return it," Ayesha said, getting straight to the point.
"And what did Tivan have?" Damian asked. If it's something he doesn't really need, he wouldn't mind giving it up.
Ayesha quickly sent a list of things she had purchased from Tivan.
Damian simply looked at the scientist, who, after reviewing the list, shook his head in disagreement with Damian.
"I'm afraid I can't give you what you're asking for. Apart from the fact that it's my loot after eliminating Tivan, I need those things," Damian said directly.
"So you're stealing from the Sovereigns," Ayesha said, looking at him.
"If you want, you can consider it that way. Now, please step aside, we're leaving," Damian said before cutting off communication.
"Advance, do not hesitate to open fire," Damian said. He didn't feel like dealing with that annoying woman. If she doesn't move, he will destroy her ships.
Ayesha couldn't help but get angry at that arrogant man while also hesitating to attack.
Normally, she wouldn't hesitate to attack, even if she lost her ships. The way Tivan died is what makes her hesitate.
The universe is vast, and there are all kinds of creatures you shouldn't mess with. The description of Tivan's death and the intimidating red eyes that looked at her through the transmission made her decide to let it go.
In the end, these materials weren't meant for her. She couldn't be blamed for this. If her master complained, she would provide him with the communication data so he could complain.
The ships continued to advance, and Damian only gave a slightly disappointed smile.
When they reached the jump point, Damian enveloped Knowhere in a bubble before teleporting it away when they left the jump point.
Ayesha couldn't help but praise herself for being so smart as she watched Knowhere disappear out of nowhere.
"Sir, we have arrived," the scientist said to Damian, who was standing beside him.
"This place is quite central, and Earth can be reached quickly," the scientist said, checking the coordinates. It was a well-traveled point between jump points.
"Start remodeling Knowhere, turn it into a decent place for trading. For now, we'll leave the 10 Spartans to guard the place," Damian said.
"I guess I'll have to stay and oversee the renovations," the scientist said, sighing.
"I'll have to trouble you with that," Damian said, smiling slightly.
"I'll take one of the ships. Let the soldiers take turns every month to return to Earth, and let them communicate with their families," Damian said.
"Yes, sir," the scientist nodded.
"Then I bid farewell. I'll inform you of any situation and also communicate with my assistants to start processing the creation of the armors," the scientist said as he left, beginning to organize Knowhere.
Damian waited for everyone to disembark before his ship started moving forward and entered the jump point, appearing on Earth.
When they arrived on Earth, everyone began to prepare as the hangar filled with people disembarking and bringing the materials obtained from Knowhere.
Damian also took a ship with his family, which left them at the palace.
"We're back," Damian said, smiling as he disembarked from the ship with his family.
"Did you enjoy the ride?" Carol asked, smiling as she carried Alice in her arms.
"It was a bit short," Ivy pouted, there were many things they couldn't do.
"We didn't fly in the ships," Alice said.
"We didn't see other species either," Emma added.
"There are still plenty of opportunities to go to space. How about we go find something to eat?" Damian asked, smiling at his daughters.
The three girls nodded with a smile and approached their father, asking him to carry them.
Damian laughed happily before picking up his three daughters and walking towards the kitchen.
"They really have him wrapped around their little fingers. They'll surely give him a headache in the future," Natasha said, shaking her head.
"Well, we'll see what he does about it," Sophia said, smiling.
"I have to work tomorrow, what a drag," Natasha sighed.
"Why don't you just quit?" Ana asked, looking at Natasha.
"I'm not as lazy as you guys," Natasha said, looking at them disdainfully. She was still young and wanted to do something with her life.
"By the way, we haven't discussed Damian's sudden outburst in Knowhere," Ophelia said out of the blue.
"He looked really cool when he was angry. I think I got a little wet after seeing him hit Tivan," Carol said, her cheeks slightly blushing.
"It was strange; I had never seen Damian angry before," Natasha said, recalling that moment. Everything was trembling as if she could feel Damian's anger.
"Actually, I've only seen Damian annoyed, but I had never seen him that angry," Carol said, nodding.
"I feel a little jealous that it wasn't because of me," Ana said, almost pouting.
"Pff, Damian is right. Sometimes you're really cute," Carol said, laughing as she hugged Ana.
Ana looked at her disdainfully and slapped her hand away.
