Chapter 382 An Eternal Crusade

?Erich had spent hours conveying to Daelia that which he had already told Lunaria years ago. He had even provided the evidence that Mirage and her secret agency had gathered. The fact of the matter was that with Tia's help, extra galactic travel was entirely possible.

Meaning that the GSE had been busy these last few years sending recon probes into Andromeda. They had, in this time, learned a lot about the whereabouts of the Naraku. In fact, the Naraku behaved vastly differently in Andromeda than they did in the Milky Way so far.

In the Milky Way, the Naraku were a nomadic insectoid race, once that devoured all biological life they came across, stripping entire worlds bare in the process. And while this seemed to be the case in Andromeda, something else was observed that the recon probes recorded.

After stripping the galaxy bare, the Naraku then invested significant resources into rebuilding the barren worlds into giant hives meant to sustain the Naraku population, and contribute more bugs to the hive fleets which would then venture to a new galaxy and start over again.

Perhaps the reason the Naraku, already in the milky way did not attempt this was because they were merely an advanced scouting force, and instead simply ravaged worlds for the biological material necessary to in a sense sustain their mission.

This created a terrifying prospect. That the universe was composed of entire galaxies like Andromeda, where the only species that existed where the Naraku, and they existed in incalculable numbers.

If this were the case, then it was entirely possible that Naraku infested galaxies were the majority of galaxies in the universe rather than the minority. This was a haunting prospect, as it meant that even if Erich united the Milky Way together to defeat the Naraku Invasion fleet originating in Andromeda, then there would really be no end to their war.

As Erich's newfound unified empire, or whatever form of government came to replace the currently fractured state of the Milky Way, would have to travel across the universe, purging galaxy after galaxy, until finally after countless millions of years the Naraku were entirely defeated.

Daelia blushed upon hearing Erich call her beautiful. It had been a long time since man had the nerve to flirt with her. But she immediately understood there was some hidden meaning in Erich's words, and was quick to ask just what he was implying.

"What... What exactly are you asking of me?"

Erich smirked as he heard this, before leaning in close and whispering the words into Daelia's ears that she thought she would never hear.

"Marry me..."

After saying this, Erich walked away and looked out the window while proposing a wild idea. All the while, Daelia recoiled in shock at what she had just heard.

"I meant what I said. Marry me. Join your sister in matrimony as my brides and end this pathetic little feud the two of you have over ancient history. Together, the three of us can bring the Ghimderi, the Asurans, and the Ennead to heel. And ensure that they will never be in a position to backstab us.

With my warriors on the front lines, and the might of the Elven fleet supporting us, we will wage an eternal crusade against the Naraku until the last bug has been crushed beneath our boot.

And after we have liberated the universe from the Naraku menace, we will look to the future, enjoying ourselves in the peace we have created.Think about what we can accomplish if we unite our races together into one Empire?

So I'll ask again, marry me?"
