"No, it was real." Elder Bright affirmed, "It wasn't only real, but also a long-standing setup from the apocalypse. His deep foresight is truly admirable. If it hadn't been for Cai Li, I'm afraid that the Galaxy Union might have indeed fallen into his hands. The so-called Battle of the Century was just a play styled by him, based on his arrangement from the apocalypse. Some of what you know is true. The apocalypse did serve the Galaxy Union with an ultimatum, threatening to activate the black hole in a special way should they refuse his demands. Even before that decisive battle, I was unaware of the truth. After the first few battles were over, with Cai Li winning one for his side, the final victory was to be decided between the apocalypse and me. I was determined, even if it meant dying myself, to take him down with me. But when we went from Real Space to Alternate Space, he stopped and told me the truth."
