In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

In those three months, a great deal could be said to have happened, both in the real world and in Aurora.

For ordinary people, three months was not a particularly long period of time. For Michael, it was enough time to completely reshape an empire.

After the meeting with Director Lin, Michael had immediately thrown himself into preparations for his eventual departure from Aurora.

The academy had assumed his attention was primarily focused on the one hundred and five dimensional cracks. And to some extent, that was true, given that he had also taken visible action in relation to them.

However, the cracks were far from the only thing occupying Michael's attention. The Black Serpent Empire demanded his time as well.

Now, three months later, Michael could finally say something with confidence.

He had completely taken over the Black Serpent Empire.

Not just the imperial capital or the territories surrounding it. The entire empire and all thirty-three kingdoms beneath it now stood under his control.
