The Whole Main Bridge was in silence after hearing the news. Some of them were shaking, and some of them had shocked expressions. "H-how is that possible?" One of the Personnel asked as he couldn't take the news. They never thought that the Core Imperium would disappear. That would mean that the Colonies were the only ones left for the Krieg.
"This was the Report give to us by the Colonies..." The Personnel that gave the report said. General Darius felt a headache as he didn't understand what to do. There was no protocol about the disappearance of the whole Core Imperium. While the Main Bridge was in silence, The Commander in the Window Screen was also surprised. "Is this the reason why the Monsters and the Undead attacked?" The Commander asked as it would make sense why the Monsters were attacking them.
"That is possible... How the Core Imperium disappeared is unknown, but there is one thing we need to do. We must rendezvous with the other colonies and gather our forces. We could probably die if we are not together." General Darius said with a calm voice. They need to meet up with the Colonies as their firepower was low. The Monsters and the Undead could easily overwhelm them.
"Understood!!!" The Personnel followed what General Darius said and began to communicate to the Colonies. After the Evacuation was finished, They would probably jump out of there and head towards the Stellar Colony Bravo. The News about the disappearance of the Core Imperium was still kept within the Main Bridge. The information was too grave to be released, but they would release it. The moment they reach the Colonies.
"Commander, I hope you do not disclose the Information. I would also like the Evacuation to be faster." General Darius said with a cold voice. "Understood..." The Commander nodded without any questions and began to mobilize her forces. The Mechanical Forces and the Krieg Forces were currently retreating. The New Technologies were lost due to the disappearance of the Core Imperium, which was a problem.
General Darius sighed while looking at the Window Screen. He could see the Dark Space and the Cosmos within it. He couldn't help but feel that their future looks bleak. The Monster and the Undead would probably do everything to destroy them. Not only that... They have traitors within their Vassals.
The Personnel in charge of the Intelligence Department walked towards General Darius while holding a small communication device. General Darius was curious at what the Personnel was about to report. "General, We have found the Last Message sent by the Core Imperium to the Colonies, including you." The Personnel whispered to him, and the other Personnel didn't bother as they were focused on their jobs. Hearing the news, General Darius was surprised.
The Personnel then gave the Small Communication Device to General Darius and walked back to his Chair. General Darius was holding the Small Communication Device and activated it. The message that was sent slowly wrote itself on the Screen. General Darius furrowed his Eyebrows while looking at the Screen.
*Order...*
*General Darius must commence Krieg Disappearance Plan 0, Avalon.*
In the Hyperion, A Girl with Silver White Hair was sitting on her bed. She was calmly breathing and absorbing the energy around her, which created a small whirlpool. A While later, The Girl opened her eyelids which revealed Golden Amber Eyes. "I finally broke through the First Stage. I'm now at the Second Stage." She was Rogue. She finally had one of the important steps of her life.
"It took me hours to reach one stage, and it would even get harder as I grow," Rogue mumbled as she rose from her bed. She looked around and found herself alone in the room. Rogue wondered what level she was currently in, so she opened the Archive, which activated the Archive Window.

'Nothing change other than my Stage...' Rogue thought to herself. She didn't know what she was expecting from the increase of stage. "I didn't have a Core, so changes might not be that observable," Rogue said with a quiet tone. It has been a while since she woke up from her Absorption. She wondered what happened to the Hyperion.
"I have many expert skills that could easily rival my past life but in this life... It wouldn't be enough." Worlds in this Reality were like Villages in his Past Life. It wasn't anything special or important. The Limit in this Reality was a million times higher than the limit of his past life. With Energy Absorption, Splitting a planet might even be possible.
"No need to have that high expectation. It is still the First Stage of having No Core. Sooner or later, I will reach the Level of splitting a Planet apart. Or probably transcend such Level." Rogue shook her head as her stomach grumbled. She was hungry after downloading too much knowledge at once. She was already wearing the Normal Personnel Clothes, so there was no reason for her to change. She then walked towards the door as it slowly opened.
As Rogue left the Door, She could see many men waiting for her outside of her room. She was curious about why they were waiting for her, but before she could ask. She felt a slight sting on her neck. She slowly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Rogue didn't expect the men to attack her. But there was nothing she could do about it. She was sure that they were stronger than her.
There were many thoughts within Rogue's mind while she was unconscious. It was Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Hatred. It was the feeling she closed of that managed to break through her cold heart. Did she get betrayed for the second time in her second life? Was she naive in thinking that she could trust other people? Before Rogue could answer such questions, a Bright Light illuminated her consciousness and forced her to wake up.
Rogue slowly opened her Eyelids, revealing her Golden Amber Eyes. She looked around and found herself in a White Room. While looking around the White Room, Rogue noticed Darius sitting on a Chair. He was looking at her with a worried expression which signifies that a problem has arisen. Rogue calmed herself and forced her tired body to wake up. She rose from her bed and looked at Darius's eyes.
"You must have an Appropriate Reason why you kidnapped me?" Rogue said with a calm voice. Her Golden Amber Eyes were cold, signifying that she was pissed at the Personnel taking her out and forcing her into this room. She understood that a problem has arisen but who the fuck does that? Kidnapping her the moment she exited the Room was a Bad Move.
"A Problem has Arisen, and a Message from the Core Imperium has been received." Darius sighed. The message he got from the Small Communication Device was important. The message was given by Avalon, The Artificial Intelligence of the Imperium. Avalon could easily solve problems in unorthodox ways. This was why the more information Avalon got. The more detailed the plan would become.
"So what? Are you going to dissect me?" Rogue expected them to be interested in her ability, so other than dissection. She didn't know any way that could help them take her ability. Darius shook his head and released a chuckle. He smiled for the first time since hearing the Grave News. He then spoke with a teasing voice. "Yeah, We would dissect you and feed you to the monsters for sacrifice."
*Sigh...*
Rogue sighed as she quickly knew that Darius was teasing her. It seems that the situation was so grave that Darius, who always smiled and carefree, was worried. Rogue stood from her bed and stared at Darius right in the eyes. She wanted to know everything about the problem and she would help if she can help them.
"Anyway, I'm gonna tell you about the news... The Core Imperium disappeared. The only ones left are the Colonies, and the Monsters and the Undead are attacking us from many sides. There is also a Traitor amongst the Vassals we kept. There is a possibility that the Krieg Race would get extinct, so Avalon created a plan to make sure that the Krieg's legacy wouldn't disappear through time." Darius explained everything, and Rogue nodded after hearing the news.
"This really is a piece of bad news. The Core Imperium disappeared, which means there are no reinforcements. The Technology in the Colonies is old, and the Numbers of the Krieg are too low. It seems that the extinction of the Krieg is possible, especially with the Monsters and Undead hunting us down. The Situation is getting complicated, but why did you call me here?" Rogue asked as she wanted to know why they kidnapped her and brought her to this White Room.
"The only thing I told them to do was to bring you here. I gave them a warning that you are strong and prideful, so they avoided wasting time and brought you in this White Room by making you unconscious. I hope this clears the misunderstanding. Everyone in the Hyperion is very nervous about the disappearance of the Core Imperium." Darius apologized as Rogue must be pissed about the kidnapping.
"I understand... If my world disappears, I would probably turn Mad. It made me surprised at how well they are taking this, especially if most of the Civilization disappeared in one moment. Can you explain the reason why you brought me to the White Room? Depending on what you're asking. I would either agree or disagree." Rogue said as she stood her stance on the problem.
"Hmmm... I'll explain everything. Hyperion!" A Window Screen appeared right next to Darius. It was the Plan created by Avalon. The only thing Darius needed to do was to execute the Plan. Rogue raised an eyebrow after seeing the Window Screen. She looked at it with a curious expression, and Darius began explaining the Plan.
"The Plan created by Avalon is called The Last Kriegers... This plan is to ensure Krieg's legacy continues through time. There are many participants in this Plan, and most of them are Awakened Krieg Arcane Type. They are like you and are scattered all over the Colonies. Your name is recently put in the plan, and since you are name is in the plan. I must execute it without any questions."
"Is declining not possible?" Rogue asked an important question. "No..." Darius shook his head as it was impossible to decline the Order and the Plan. Even if she didn't want to be in the Plan, She would force to be in the Plan. Darius wouldn't want to go that far, but if needed. He would do it without any hesitation.
"I understand the circumstances, but if I heard it correctly. Does that mean that all of you would die? You have no reinforcements, and your technology is quite old. The Monsters and the Undead know no End. They will continue fighting until they kill all of you." Rogue said with a serious tone. She knew that the Krieg was about to die. They were back into the corner without anyone making a helping hand. Even the Vassal Races were oblivious.
"Yes... But that is our duty, so there is no need to be worried about us, Rogue." Darius smiled as many Personnel entered the Room. It was time for Rogue to leave and prepare for the Plan. She was about to be frozen to absolute zero and would be forced a Serum that could make cells absorb energy without moving. She would then be released the moment she finished the trials.
Rogue followed the Personnel without any questions. She couldn't decline the offer, and she also had no choice as the Monsters and the Undead would be hunting the Krieg. Darius was calmly sitting in his Seat as Rogue slowly head towards the Door of the White Room. Before leaving the White Room, Rogue looked back at Darius and spoke.
"The Moment I wake up... I would avenge all of you, so please give me a message, or I will destroy the Monsters, the Undead, and the Traitors in the Vassal Races. It doesn't matter even if millions of years passed. I will find them."
"Yes... I know. Please be careful on your Journey."
