Chapter 201: God’s Back Garden, Aurelio ‘Fairyland’ Opens [Part 2]



He knew that it was related to the Aurelio’s Cage the second he saw that footage .

Shawton might know a little about the Aurelio’s Cage, but the rest of the lieutenant commanders were unaware about it . However, Shawton’s meeting today was exactly to briefly explain Aurelio’s Cage . He selected only the important points and didn’t explain in detail .

If the omnipotent energy ‘White Night’ was the object of desire during that conflict 50 years ago, then this time it was a different Aurelio piece and that piece happened to be the one under the GAL army’s command . If this was true, then Fernando and Zweig Feihang did obtain an Aurelio starmap piece from ‘Miracle’ just like the gray cat had told him . Since the GAL army already possessed the rest of the pieces of this star map to begin with, they had assembled a complete star map, found the key and activated that Aurelio’s Cage .

However, Cillin didn’t think expect this after the Aurelio’s Cage was opened .

One of the Aurelio Cages in Genesis Mythos was ‘God’s Back Garden’ . It represented a fairyland .

What was surprising was that this ‘God’s Back Garden’ was at a place in Sector Z!

There were many scientists who studied astronomy who researched Sector Z before, but they only had a basic understanding of Sector Z due to its terrible space environment . However, researchers had discovered that Sector Z had a ‘black hole’ region since a long time ago .

Through a telescope, one could see that that region was completely covered in black, and none of the probes they sent into this region had ever returned . Some people said that it was a black hole, but the data supplied by external probes disproved those claims . They didn’t have an alternative explanation either . All those who entered deep into that region had never returned . All communications were cut off the moment a ship entered that black region . Moreover, the cut off was permanent .

That was why GAL hadn’t set a high limitation on the exploration and development of Sector Z . In fact, they would even encourage some Hunter regiments and adventurers to explore it from time to time . They would then spend credits and purchase whatever information these Hunter regiments and adventurers had found .

No one knew that this ‘black hole’ region was one of the Aurelios until now .

The fact that the GAL army had made public this footage meant either one of these two things: One, they had the ‘black hole’ region completely under their control already, and the release of this footage was just a way to increase their influence in GAL . Or two, they had encountered a problem they couldn’t solve, and they were forced to find a solution from the public .

“We’re not sure about the exact situation either, but I’ve contacted the A Squad and they told me that both B Squadrons are expected to make way towards the ‘black hole’ region . Vanguard will send someone to support us when the time comes . ”


Shawton explained to everyone present what the A Squadron had told them, but Cillin’s thoughts had flown away to somewhere else . He already knew all the important points in the A Squadron’s message, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right .

God’s Back Garden, the fairyland . It was obvious from its name alone that there would be plenty of valuables and beautiful sceneries in this place . They couldn’t see this in the publicised footage since the military hadn’t put them in . They had only made public the rough appearance of this ‘black hole’ region after it was figuratively ‘lit up’ .

This was the first ever ‘Aurelio’s Cage’ to be opened after countless years . It had never truly opened even during the ‘White Night’ incident from 50 years ago . As the first ever open Aurelio’s Cage, he could imagine the waters running behind the scenes must be incredibly deep and complicated . There was no telling if the conflict from 50 years ago would repeat itself especially after that incident in Sector S .

Cillin thought of ‘Mist’ and ‘Merciless’ . They had been so quiet after that incident in Sector S it was almost as if they had never shown up . He mustn’t forget about ‘Death God’ either, and every time ‘Death God’ showed up there would be serious cases of destruction .

Cillin had a feeling that all these fellows would show their faces during their trip to ‘God’s Back Garden’ .

“Anyway, we’ll be cancelling our current mission plans and head to Sector Z with the Third B Squadron . ” Shawton declared solemnly .

Since everything was planned already, the rest of the lieutenant commanders accepted the decision in silence . Once the meeting was over, they would tell their subordinates to make the necessary preparations .

Everyone in the Sixth B Squadron had an odd feeling towards Sector Z since that one experience they had was incredibly bitter . However, they were expected to get used to it as Hunters .

“Cillin, stay back . ”

Shawton stopped Cillin just as he stood up and was about to head out .



When the rest of the lieutenant commanders had left the room, Shawton asked, “What is your opinion on this matter?”

“Opinion?”

“Mm . Tell me your thoughts . The fact is we can’t see much into things from our position at all . The A Squadrons usually don’t interfere with their B Squadrons, but when they do it’s usually incredibly big . We will obey the A Squadrons and head over as they command, but there are still some questions that I’d like to have answers to . ” Shawton said as he frowned on his chair .

Cillin shook his head, “I can’t say I can offer an opinion on this Aurelio’s Cage thing, but I think that the A Squadrons wants us to head over to look strong . ”

Shawton nodded . He had thought of this too . He was fine as long as they weren’t sent out as cannon fodders . Normally speaking, the higher ups of the four great Hunter regiments wouldn’t send out their subordinates as cannon fodders . After all, it would be very difficult to absorb new blood in the future if they did .

“We are not the only B Squadron to head out this time . I believe that the rest of the B Squadrons will also make way soon . If Vanguard is setting out to Aurelio’s Cage, then the remaining three of the great four would do the same . In that case a lot of lives would be affected by this matter . If the military is set on starting a conflict, the resulting conflict would be a huge blow to the entire GAL . They wouldn’t do something that stupid . ”

Shawton had thought of everything Cillin was telling him right now . However, hearing it from Cillin gave him confidence in his own thoughts, and he was able to relaxed just a little thanks to this . It had taken the Sixth B Squadron much hardships to reach where they were now . He was absolutely going to spit blood If they were to suffer another heavy blow .

Cillin talked for a little while longer before he finally left the meeting room . When he returned, he explained to his team what was going to happen later and what they need to pay attention to . He didn’t need to emphasis anything since everyone quickly fell into form . Sector Z was a deeply impressionable Sector for all of them . If they didn’t prepare well, they could easily lose their life .

After he was done instructing everything, Cillin returned to his room and closed his eyes thoughtfully . There were many things that he chose not to speak directly to Shawton . If he did, he would be exposing himself excessively .

Cillin was not going to take out the two Aurelio starmap pieces he possessed just yet . It was not yet the right time . Revealing them now would only result in the destruction of the entire Sixth B Squadron .

After thinking for some time, Cillin felt a little tired . He gradually slipped into dreamland .

Who’s talking?



While he was still in a daze, two speaking voices suddenly appeared in Cillin’s mind . Other than the speaking voices, Cillin also sensed a familiar and strong change in magnetic field and air pressure . The room temperature had also risen above 50 degrees before falling down to 0 all in one second . His surroundings were dark, and he couldn’t see anything . He could only hear blurred speaking voices, sounds of fighting and strange-sounding gunshots . It was a strange but familiar feeling of energy .

Suddenly, Cillin suffered a heavy blow to the stomach, and the sounds and feelings abruptly shattered to pieces . Cillin abruptly opened his eyes and saw the gray cat bouncing on top of his stomach .

He exhaled deeply before wiping away the sweat on his forehead . Cillin muttered, “What the hell do you want?”

The gray cat stopped fooling around after it saw Cillin waking up . It opened its round eyes and looked Cillin up and down once before it flicked its ears backwards and said with a ‘thank me thank me’ look, “You were looking very strange just now . You look like you’ve entered hibernation, but your heartbeat was incredibly quick and irregular and you’re sweating like a waterfall . Look at yourself; all wet and dirty . Ew . Anyway, I called out to you, but you didn’t answer me at all . That’s why I did this . ”

Cillin shuddered when he heard the gray cat’s words .

It was hypnosis!

Cillin wanted to laugh . He had hypnotised others so many times, but he didn’t think he would one day be hypnotised without knowing . If his analysis was correct, the person who hypnotised him was one of the two voices he heard just now . Every time Cillin thought of that incident, he would be affected by this voice and would be kept from analysing whatever happened that day calmly .

However, what puzzled Cillin was why the man had chosen to hypnotise him instead of killing him outright . He had been completely powerless back then, and it should’ve been completely unsurprising for another person to think that he was dead for sure in that situation .

Cillin sat up and scratched the gray cat’s chin, “Thanks . ”

The gray cat narrowed its eyes and purred, “You had a nightmare, hadn’t you? I knew that I’m not the only one who had a nightmare . ”

“What’s your nightmare about?” Cillin asked while scratching the gray cat’s chin .

The gray cat’s whiskers shook the second its nightmare was brought up, “It’s about the fish biscuits! I dreamed that my whole cabinet of fish biscuits grew legs and ran away!”

“So that’s why you ate them all the next day . ”

No wonder he saw this glutton eating its whole cabinet of fish biscuits that day and leaving behind crumbs all over the floor . He had to clean up for a long time before he finally removed that fishy scent .

“I never had that nightmare again after I ate them all!” The gray cat said proudly .

There’s nothing to be proud about!

What an idiot!

Cillin literally didn’t know what to say about this cat .

“Oh right, are we still going back to that planet where we found the special energy ores during our trip to Sector Z this time?” The gray cat asked expectantly .

“We’ll set the best course to our destination once we’ve reached the edge of Sector Z . If it isn’t convenient then we won’t be heading over there . If it is, then we’ll be able to see how far the planet has been modified . ”

“I hope it’ll be convenient . I’m already missing the fishes there . ”

“Mm . We’ll stock up on some fishes if we happen to pass by . ”

While Cillin and the others were making their way towards Sector Z, there were plenty others among the four great Hunter regiments who were also rushing towards Sector Z .

When they finally reached there, the great four would finally and truly be gathered at one spot . There was no telling what kind of conflict of happen . One thing was certain . This would be the most influential ‘gathering’ to ever happen in the history of GAL .
