I was put on the throne by the villain【Interstellar】

Nebula is an extended celestial body composed of gas and dust. It is the form of stars and other stars before their birth. Of course, some nebulae themselves are the products of supernova explosions. Therefore, nebulae and stars can be transformed into each other when conditions are met. .

In general, nebulae are harmless other than being spectacular.Since its composition is mostly gas, it usually does not have any effect on the objects entering it.Of course, due to the large mass and uneven distribution of some nebulae, the gravitational force is also ever-changing, which makes it difficult to pilot the spaceship, but in general, the nebula is a harmless cosmic spectacle. Or the technological universe.

But the reason why the Annihilation Nebula became famous, and its reputation resounded throughout the empire, was certainly not because of its magnificent landscape formed by the interweaving of bright blue and rose red.Rather, it has devoured countless spaceships for more than a thousand years, turning the area covered by this nebula into a famous cemetery.

Because of its existence, the only way to cross this star field is to pass through the blank field next to it, otherwise it will cost more energy to detour. The distance that can be passed by high-dimensional flight in two days has been extended by more than ten times. .

Although in the records of the Empire, the number of spaceships sunk in the Annihilation Nebula reached a terrifying number, but Lei Zhe and others who had just entered did not notice any danger, but were amazed by the unique beautiful landscape of the Nebula.

"...Even though I have seen many nebulae, I have to admit that the beauty of this nebula can at least rank among the top three." Lei Zhe couldn't help sighing as he looked at the dreamlike beauty outside the porthole road.

Originally thought that his words would resonate with everyone, but what greeted him was silence.Lei Zhe looked at the other people in the cab suspiciously, only to find that Raymond who was piloting the spaceship, Eugene who was standing beside him, and even Barry who was supposed to be sleeping were all staring at Liang with serious faces. The nebula intertwined blue and rose red made a posture of being ready for battle.

Only then did Lei Zhe feel something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong? Why do you all have such serious expressions?"

Only then did Raymond and Barry come to their senses, and they said in unison with shock on their faces: "Master, don't you know that this is the 'Annihilation Nebula'?"

Seeing that even Eugene looked surprised, Lei Zhe finally realized that something was wrong: "...so this name is not random, but has a history. Why did you name it 'Annihilation'?"

I always thought that the young master knew the name of Annihilation Nebula, but Barry, who was confident because of his powerful ability, suddenly seeped cold sweat on his forehead, and murmured: "Because all the spaceships that entered here are as if they were annihilated and there is no news..."

"Since the establishment of the empire, tens of thousands of spaceships have disappeared into this nebula, including the fleet of the empire. This is the most famous death zone in the holy galaxy, and its danger is even more than that of black holes. Black holes can escape before entering the event horizon, But as long as it enters the Annihilation Nebula and crosses that border, the spaceship cannot turn back, and can only rush into the interior of the Nebula without hesitation until it disappears."

"...It sounds like a ghost story." As Lei Zhe spoke, he mobilized all his senses to notice if there were any abnormalities around the spaceship.

Surprisingly, the Hen sailed safely for a day without encountering any accidents worthy of attention.At most, it is the influence of the gravitational force inside the nebula on the route, which makes it necessary for someone to stare at the star map to confirm the route.In the end, even Barry, who was most familiar with this star field, relaxed, thinking that even though it used to be a death zone, it should not be so dangerous now.

"The last recorded spaceship that entered the Annihilation Nebula was 700 years ago. Even if there is any danger in it, it must have expired, right?" Barry said while cutting the meat on the plate.

"On the cosmic scale, hundreds of years are just a flick of a finger, and the danger that I'm more inclined to the interior of the nebula has left." Raymond, who had a meal with Eugene, followed and analyzed.

Lei Zhe was more interested in the "recorded" thing Barry said: "Has anyone else recorded the spaceship entering the Annihilation Nebula?"

"That's right," Barry nodded. "In the beginning, almost all the spaceships passing through this star field disappeared, which attracted the attention of the empire, so they sent a special fleet to investigate. Later, the fleet also disappeared, and it was discovered that this space Because of the nebula, this area has been blocked by the empire for decades. I don’t know how the empire investigated it. After decades, the blockade was lifted, and this area was listed as a death zone.”

"There is a monument at the nearest airport that records the spaceship that crashed in the Annihilation Nebula. The information comes from the relatives and friends of the passengers of the crashed spaceship. After the empire declared this place a death zone, many people took boats to the nebula to pay homage to their dead relatives. But this record is definitely incomplete, the spaceships engulfed by the Annihilation Nebula are not only those on the monument, but also smuggling ships, pirates and mercenaries, but their relatives and friends will not register at the airport of the empire."

Lei Zhe nodded, but he couldn't figure out what would cause 100% mortality.Although there are many such dangers in the universe, most of them are the type that will never take the initiative to provoke you as long as you don't bump into them yourself.Moreover, the statement that there is no way to turn back once you enter the border is really not very credible, and it feels like deliberate alarmism.

Just when Lei Zhe was thinking about what would cause so many spaceships to sink, Eugene's voice suddenly sounded in the restaurant: "Unidentified spaceship found!"

The three people who were eating were startled and rushed to the cab as fast as they could.Entering the cockpit, Lei Zhe's heart sank. At first he thought he had detected an unknown spaceship, but when he came to the cockpit, he realized that the spaceship that made Eugene exclaimed was close in front of him!

The black spaceship was frighteningly large, and because it was so close, Lei Zhe and the others couldn't see its shape at all, and all they could see was the pitch-black shell of the unknown spaceship without a trace of light.Even though it is in such a gorgeous emission nebula, the spaceship in front of it does not reflect the slightest color, just like the most mysterious and unknown black hole in the universe.

Even though it was so close, the Hen still didn't detect its existence, and there was only a blue fluorescent light representing the Hen on the star map, moving slowly.

"As soon as it appeared in the field of vision, I wanted to enter the high-dimensional space, but it shattered the magic circle!" Eugene explained clearly what happened after encountering the unknown spaceship in a few words.

It was too late to think about the operation of breaking the magic circle. Seeing that the two spaceships were about to collide, Lei Zhe could only take a risk to release his ability.The powerful idea broke through the shackles of the body in an instant, wrapped the bow of the Hen and the unidentified spaceship, forcibly contended with the propulsion of the spaceship, and controlled the two spaceships in a very short time, preventing the impending collision.

Immediately, Lei Zhe's body began to collapse due to the forced use of the overloaded ability.

First, the eyes, the most fragile organ of the body, burst, and then the capillaries all over the body. In just a few seconds, Lei Zhe turned into a blood man and fell backwards.

"Lei Zhe—!"

"Master—!"

"what?"

***

"boom!"

A loud noise woke up Dio, who was concentrating on reading the magic book. He looked up at the door where the sound came from, and found that Leila was standing there in a daze, with broken pieces of porcelain and pastries under his feet, and the aroma of black tea accompanied him. White hot steam floated over, and the unique bitter aroma of tea from the Red Dragon Starfield lingered in Dio's nose.

"Layla! Are you burned? Don't move, don't move!" Dio dropped the book and ran to Leila's side, squatting at her feet, carefully picking up the broken porcelain pieces and putting them in the intact wooden tray , He didn't open the door until he confirmed that there were no residues, and called the cleaning maid from the Summer Palace to help tidy up the carpet.

When the cleaning maid finished cleaning up and left the room, Dio sat on the window sill with Leila who was still in a daze, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, Leila? Is there something wrong?"

Could it be that there is a problem with the operation of the magic circle?If that was the case, it would be difficult. If it weren't for the protection of His Royal Highness, Leila would have been dragged to study long ago.Dio believed that as long as he showed the slightest sign that Layla was malfunctioning, Layla would be taken away in less than a day.

Under Dio's anxious gaze, Leila was stunned for several minutes before tilting her head to look at him and said, "Master Dio, what's the matter?"

Dio, who was waiting anxiously, looked at such an innocent Layla, and shouted in a low voice with some breakdown: "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Leyla is fine!" Leila replied sweetly.

Dio was dumbfounded: "But you just broke the afternoon tea and stayed there for more than ten minutes... You've never done this before!"

Hearing Dio's accusation, Leila pouted dissatisfiedly: "Layla will not spoil the afternoon tea, Leila is the perfect maid, she will never be in a daze!"

"But you were obviously in a daze just now! You also broke the afternoon tea!"

"Layla didn't! Master Dio wronged people!"

Dio stood up abruptly, ran to the door and pointed to the brand-new carpet and said, "This is where you broke the afternoon tea!"

Leila, who followed Dio, looked at the unmarked carpet, covered her face and murmured, "No! Master Dio wronged Leila, Leila will tell the master!"

Hearing the word master, Dio rushed forward and covered Leila's mouth: "Shhh! I told you not to mention brother here... Okay, okay, I wronged you, I'm sorry, don't be angry, okay?"

"Okay!" Leila let go of her hand and knelt towards Dio, "Master Dio, do you want afternoon tea?"

"...Yes, and a piece of hazelnut cake."

"Good!"

Dio watched speechlessly as Leila, who seemed to have completely forgotten that she had given him black tea and hazelnut cake, left the room, and looked at the carpet under her feet in confusion.

Layla is a magic doll. Although her skin is very human-like and she has rich emotions, her essence is still a magic product that relies on a well-designed magic circle.Her every move is very precise, just like Leila herself said, she is a perfect maid, she will never break anything, and it is impossible for her to miss the master's order in a daze.

But Leila not only broke things, but also stayed in front of her for more than ten minutes, which was very abnormal.

Could it be because of my brother... Dio walked to the window, picked up the magic book but didn't continue to read it, but looked up at the blue sky of Capital Star.

When Leila, who changed ownership after separating from her brother, mentioned the word "master" in front of him for the first time, Dio knew that Leila might be more complicated than his brother imagined.So, Leila, who still sees her brother as her master even after changing the ownership, is suddenly abnormal, does it mean that her brother...

Staring at the blue sky, Dio unconsciously creased the magic book in his hand.
