As one of the pillars of the Rebirth Empire, Demetri possesses the same level of authority in the Radiant Host as Emperor Odoacer.

His call was quickly answered by the Radiant.

However, to his great disappointment, whether he let Radiant conduct the search or checked the surveillance records himself, he still didn't find anything unusual.

But the Secondary Space has already been turned upside down like this; is it possible that there's nothing abnormal?

Demetri feels that there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the intruder possesses an extremely special ability that allows free access under Radiant's surveillance without triggering any anomalies.

The second possibility is that Radiant's data has been modified.

"If it's the second possibility, then is it Radiant itself that modified the data, or those few people with the same level of authority as I do?"

Demetri felt a chill run through him.

No matter what the truth is, it's something beyond his current ability to handle.

He is not exaggerating.

Assuming there's really someone who can ignore Radiant's surveillance and walk freely within the Empire, and if this person holds any malice towards the Empire, then the Empire would be in grave danger.

If Radiant actively deleted the data, then the Empire is also very dangerous, who knows what else Radiant might have done secretly.

If it's someone with the same authority as him who deleted Radiant's data, then... damn it, the enemy is already at the headquarters, how can the Empire be alright?

"Go find Bulalo, no, even Bulalo can't be trusted now, Chong Xiao is even worse, the Emperor… even if the Emperor is innocent, looking for him is useless, he simply cannot solve this kind of problem."

Demetri was numb.

In the Secondary Space, he only felt cold throughout, as if a pair of indifferent and murderous eyes were staring at him intensely from behind.

This was an experience he had never had before.

Even when facing the Artificial Spiritual Power God of the Apostle Holy City, he had never felt so powerless.

No matter how strong the external enemy, death is the ultimate consequence.

But if the enemy emerges from within...

From Srike of the Radiant Family defecting to the Origins Agreement, to the present theft in the Secondary Space, Demetri felt that he could no longer trust anyone.

Damn it, how could a perfectly fine country turn into this mess?

If the Empire collapses due to internal enemies, he would die with regret.

Demetri sat on the ground.

He didn't rush to leave, instead, he kept thinking.

This thought process lasted two and a half days.

Afterwards, he collected the remaining relics in the Secondary Space into his Personal Space and walked out the door as if nothing had happened.

When others inquired about the progress of his relic fusion, he simply said it's temporarily unclear, and he needed a quiet place to continue the fusion.

Whether others suspected anything is unknown, in any case, after leaving the Imperial Capital Star, Demetri immediately headed to the Superpower Garden.

After much consideration, he believed that only Bai Fu could be trusted at this time.

Perhaps Bai Fu has her own plans, but she wouldn't be thinking of bringing the Empire down.

Because if she had such thoughts, there would have been no reason to help the Empire from the start.

Several days later.

In the Superpower Garden.

Having just dealt with the visiting group from the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry, and before having the opportunity to contact Lupus to stir up some trouble, Bai Fu was astonished to find Demetri had returned.

"What happened?"

Demetri let out a bitter laugh.

"I don't even understand it myself; I've never been so confused, I think maybe only you can help me make sense of this."

As he spoke, he took out the remaining relics, placing them one by one in front of Bai Fu.

"These are the Super Supreme Holy Relics I mentioned to you earlier, but…"

Demetri explained his experiences and the worries he was feeling internally at the moment.

"The Apostle Holy City might attack at any moment, and the Origins Agreement is also eyeing us. Now there's suddenly this issue within the Empire, sigh, I want you to see if there's a way to find out who did it. I won't let you work for nothing, whatever you want, I'll do my best to get it for you, and you can pick some relics you find useful, anyway, if they stay in the Empire, they'll just be stolen."

Ding!

Just as Demetri finished speaking, Bai Fu received a new task notification.

[You have triggered the Hidden Task [Shadow of the Empire]]

[Task Introduction: …]

[Task Objective: Accept Demetri's commission, investigate the Rebirth Empire Super Supreme Relic theft case]

[Reward: Holy Light*1]

The task reward is only one, but it is of immense value because it can enhance a Dominator's power to the Super Supreme.

"Though it might be useless for me, if I gave it to Julia, and then acquired the last True Spirit Relic Fragment of the Third Apostle, wouldn't it mean Julia could also become an Apostle?"

Bai Fu's eyes brightened.

Every Apostle has its special abilities.

The Third Apostle's most exceptional ability is that it can perfectly communicate with the Void Realm wherever it is, which is equivalent to possessing Infinite Blue.

And if Julia becomes an Apostle and acquires the Third Apostle's abilities, it means Bai Fu could also have Infinite Blue.

A high-burst, super-tough mage with Infinite Blue, just think about it!

This task definitely can be accepted.

The only issue is how to conduct the investigation!

Bai Fu used Extraordinary Vision to inspect all the Super Supreme Holy Relics Demetri brought, but didn't find anything unusual.
