Transmigrating into the only holy female in the interstellar world, the orcs who have no descendants

Luo Xi raised her hands and gently rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the lingering heaviness. Her head felt groggy, as if filled with paste, and her throat was terribly dry. She seemed to have had a very long dream last night, a dream that was bizarre yet blurry. When she woke up, she couldn't remember a single thing.

"I seemed to have had a dream..." Luo Xi began, her voice a little hoarse.

Kyle's fingers gently massaged her temples, his movements gentle, his concern evident. He looked down at Rosie and said in a low voice, "What dream?"

Luo Xi shook her head, frowning slightly. "I can't remember clearly, not even fragments. If I try hard to think about it, my head will hurt."

Lu Ye stood aside, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He leaned closer to Luo Xi and said in a light tone, trying to liven up the atmosphere: "Did you dream of doing something embarrassing with me, so you can't remember it?"

Before Luo Xi could retort, Kyle gave him a cold look. Lu Ye immediately shut up, touched his nose, and stepped aside awkwardly.

"We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's leave first and then make long-term plans." Admiral Mike spoke in a low and powerful voice.

Kyle nodded slightly in agreement. His deep amber eyes gazed at Rosie, awaiting her decision. He respected her opinion, but as the leader of the team, he had to ensure everyone's safety.

Rosie was torn. She desperately wanted to obtain the Heart of Poseidon and revive Rein, but she also knew she couldn't be too willful. She wasn't alone; she had Kyle, Lu Ye, and everyone else... She couldn't let her curiosity put them in danger.

"Okay, let's leave here first." Rosie let out a breath and finally made a decision.

Lu Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to stay in this kind of haunted place any longer. It felt eerie and creepy. Especially since Luo Xi was almost "sucked" into the mural just now, it made him feel that this place was extremely evil.

They made their decision, and now it was just Orlando and Enzo.

"I disagree." Orlando said firmly.

Rosie and Kyle exchanged a glance; this reaction was within their expectations. Orlando's obsession with resurrecting Lain wasn't something he could easily change.

"In that case," Kyle said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty the Sea King can stay here alone. We will leave first."

Orlando sneered, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt: "Have you, Your Excellency, forgotten how Lain died?"

Rosie's heart tightened, as if being gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe. She lowered her eyes, hiding the pain in them. Laing's death was a scar in her heart that would never heal. But...

"I do owe Ryan, but I still have family. I can't be so selfish." Rosie raised her head and looked at Orlando with a firm gaze. Her tone was calm, but it was filled with unquestionable determination. Her family, her partner, were waiting for her. She couldn't abandon them for someone who was already gone.

Orlando looked disdainful, as if he scoffed at Rosie's words.

Enzo didn't have any objection, after all, he was here because of Rosie.

Rosie and the others were ready to leave, but since Orlando insisted on staying, they would naturally not be able to use the starship they had brought with them.

Fortunately, Admiral Mike had a submersible starship in his space hub, preventing them from having to swim back empty-handed. Just as they were about to depart, they discovered a more serious problem—the exit of the Abyss Royal City suddenly closed like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing them in darkness.

"Until the great tide of March arrives, the gates of the royal city will not open again."

Princess Duoya stood not far away, her azure eyes calm and composed. Her words were light and airy, yet they struck the hearts of the few people with a heavy impact like a huge rock.

Luo Xi's heart sank. She looked at the tightly closed city gate. The towering city wall seemed like an insurmountable chasm, completely isolating them from the outside world.

Lu Ye's face turned grim. He cursed softly, "What is this? Are you making fun of us?"

Kyle didn't say anything. He just stared at the city gate quietly, his amber eyes deep and unfathomable.

Rosie knew that Kyle was really angry.

She could feel the black energy surging around Kyle, like huge waves rolling in the deep sea, carrying the power to destroy the world.

That is the power of a Saint-level strongman. Once it erupts, it is enough to raze the entire Abyss King City to the ground.

Rosie subconsciously tightened her grip on Kyle's hand. She knew she had to stop him.

"Kyle..." Rosie called softly. She could feel Kyle's suppressed anger.

Kyle didn't respond. He just held Rosie's hand tightly with his backhand, applying a little force with his knuckles.

Rosie's heart tightened. Kyle was forcibly suppressing his own strength.

She took a deep breath, walked to Kyle, leaned against him gently, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Calm down, we still have time."

Kyle lowered his eyes and looked at Rosie. The coldness in his amber eyes gradually melted away, replaced by endless tenderness.

He pulled Rosie into his arms and lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Okay." Kyle's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible compromise.

He knew that Rosie was worried about him.

He couldn't let her worry.

Admiral Mike stepped forward and stood in front of Rosie: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

Duoya did not answer immediately. She just looked at Mike quietly with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"This is also part of the curse of the abyss," Duoya's voice echoed in the empty cave with a strange rhythm. "This gate to the abyss can only be opened once a year. When you come, it will open. If it opens again, you must wait until after March."

Her tone was calm, as if she was just stating an insignificant fact, but Rosie keenly grasped the hidden meaning in her words.

It only opens once a year? Doesn't that mean they're trapped here?

Rosie subconsciously looked at Kyle. He was staring at the tightly closed city gate. His amber eyes were bottomless, as if a storm was brewing.

Kyle didn't say anything. He simply raised his hand slowly, and a ball of black energy gathered in his palm. The energy grew stronger and stronger, like a huge wave rolling in the deep sea, carrying the power to destroy the world.

Rosie's heart tightened, she knew that Kyle was going to force the door open.

"Kyle!" Rosie called out softly, trying to stop him.

But Kyle seemed not to hear it. The black energy in his palm had condensed into a huge vortex, roaring towards the city gate.

"boom--"

There was a deafening roar, and the entire cave shook, with debris flying and dust rising.

The black energy hit the city gate, but did not destroy it as expected. Instead, it seemed to be bounced back by an invisible force.

"puff--"

Kyle groaned, his Adam's apple rolling.

His body swayed slightly, but he still stood firmly in place.

"Kyle!" Rosie exclaimed and hurried forward to support him.

She looked up at the city gate; it was still tightly closed, without a trace of damage.

Rosie's heart sank to the bottom. This city gate could actually bounce back Kyle's attack?

She turned to look at Duoya, her eyes questioning: "What is going on?"

Duoya did not answer immediately. She just looked at Luo Xi quietly with a hint of amusement in her eyes, as if she was enjoying a good show.

Rosie felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was blocking it, making it difficult to breathe. She held Kyle's hand tightly, her fingertips cold.

This Abyssal King City was filled with strangeness. First, the murals, then the city gate...

She felt like a prey that had strayed into a trap, trapped in this huge net, unable to escape.

Kyle, Mike, and Lu Ye all looked grave. They were all seasoned warriors, so they naturally knew what this meant.

"It's useless." Princess Duoya's voice sounded again, with a hint of indifference. "This city gate was restricted by that master himself, unless..." She paused, her eyes fell on Luo Xi, her eyes complicated, "unless you have the power of that master..."
