A squad of base guards armed with real weapons entered from outside.
Rong pointed at Xiao Xun, "Lock him in the solitary confinement cell, and then forcibly dismember this original human."
"Yes!"
Xiao Xun was not intimidated and directly drew his split pistol, "See if you dare to touch me."
Rong jumped onto the table, "Are you rebelling?"
At this moment, the original human suddenly activated, punched through the research department's observation window, and then grabbed Rong.
"What? Let me go, Xiao Xun, I command you, make him let me go."
Xiao Xun said indifferently, "What he does has nothing to do with me."
In fact, he knew that this was a hidden plan within the Cradle Project, and the puppet system had been activated.
The highest directive of the puppet system was to protect Xiao Xun's safety at all costs.
Now that Rong had exposed his intention to deal with Xiao Xun, the original human naturally wouldn't let him go.
Soon, the lizard-like creature's body turned red, then purple, with blood seeping through its fine scales, indicating its immense strength.
Rong could no longer speak, and could only gasp for air, on the verge of death.
Xiao Xun looked at the group of people who rushed in and pointed guns at him, "From now on, I am the overall responsible person for Area One. Anyone who disobeys my command will suffer the same fate as him."
The crowd exchanged glances. Their executive officer was gone, and now someone was taking charge. Naturally, they, the lower ranks, would obey.
Seeing everyone bow their heads, Xiao Xun pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out."
"Yes!"
Everyone left the research department and closed the door.
Xiao Xun used his spatial ring to reach the Tiger's Mouth held up by Rookie, and looked at the dying Rong.
"You never expected this, did you? You have your day."
Rong struggled to open his eyes, looked at Xiao Xun, and with all his might shouted, "You dare to betray the Gate God Society, you will die a horrible death."
"Then let's see who dies first."
Xiao Xun landed on the ground, then disconnected the puppet system. Rookie let go, and Rong fell straight down.
Blood splattered everywhere. Seeing Xiao Xun safe, Rookie naturally deactivated the puppet system as well.
Xiao Xun went to the control room. He intended to test it himself, but no matter how he tried to connect, the original human refused to open the spinal area.
The system clearly showed that the cockpit was ruptured and empty.
"Could it be, it was actually digested?"
Xiao Xun ordered people to cut open the protective armor on the original human's back, intending to force open the cabin door. A strong scent of blood instantly filled the entire base.
Xiao Xun watched the cutting footage. The original human seemed oblivious to pain, and the spinal armor was successfully cut open.
A gush of blood flowed out. After the blood drained, the orange connecting fluid followed.
The cockpit was unscrewed with connecting bolts. The cracks on the cockpit were clearly visible. Although it was broken, it was impossible for a person to completely disappear.
Xiao Xun was furious. He used a life detector to search the entire body of the original human. A person couldn't just disappear without a trace.
He contacted Area Eight, asking them to send a complete cockpit and a pilot.
Unexpectedly, what arrived was a joint attack from all twenty-four areas. The reason was that headquarters declared Area One had been completely occupied by aliens, and the commander of Area One had died in the line of duty.
Facing the sky filled with artillery fire and the strongest weapons from each area, the entire base was in chaos. It was an indiscriminate attack; they didn't intend to leave any survivors in Area One.
Moreover, the attack was precise. The first volley destroyed all of Area One's railguns.
A large number of special forces members poured into Area One base. Anyone wearing a white work uniform was killed on sight.
Xiao Xun was stunned. With the enemy at the gates, they were starting a civil war.
He organized personnel to counterattack. Seeing these outsiders attacking indiscriminately, the staff of Area One base decided to fight back with full force.
Xiao Xun reinserted the damaged cockpit into the original human's spinal canal. Although his armor was damaged, it still represented the highest combat capability.
He directly activated the puppet system and sent Rookie out. Rookie, upon entering, went on a killing spree, but soon, six original humans appeared before him. Their weapons and armor were far superior to Rookie's.
Six against one, and the advantage of being well-rested. Rookie's head was severed by a sharp high-frequency particle blade, and his entire body was cut into multiple pieces.
Xiao Xun realized that sitting idly by was not an option. The enemy was even planning to use nuclear weapons.
Just as Xiao Xun was at a loss, a group of bats appeared within the base. The bats converged, revealing Gateliodor.
"Long time no see, son-in-law."
Xiao Xun looked at the pale-faced vampire before him, "Why are you here?"
"Can't you tell? I'm here to save you."
Xiao Xun revealed his ring, "I have this, I can leave anytime."
Gateliodor smiled, "Then why haven't you left yet?"
"Just because they're attacking me, does that mean I have to run?"
"As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn. If you don't run now, you won't be able to later!"
As he spoke, a coffin descended from the sky. Gateliodor pushed Xiao Xun into the coffin, and then two gargoyles, pulling black chains, whisked Xiao Xun away into the moonlight.
When Xiao Xun opened his eyes again, he was already in the vampire's castle. He looked at the bright moonlight outside.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Where else would I bring you? You are already on the Gate God Society's blacklist, which means you are a threat to this world. All the armed forces of this planet will spare no effort to deal with you."
"Without me, how could they possibly defeat the aliens?"
Gateliodor poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Xiao Xun, "Planet Blue will continue to spin without anyone. After all, humans are not the native inhabitants. Listen to my advice, return to the world of Sant Romano. Return to Serapis' side. That is where you belong."
Xiao Xun took the wine and drank it down in one gulp, "You don't know yet, Jia He is pregnant."
Gateliodor was greatly surprised, "Really? Then I'm going to be a grandfather. Heaven has eyes; the Guangyan family will have successors."
Xiao Xun sighed, "What kind of world is this world?"
"If you refuse to go along with the flow, then you will be eliminated."
"I originally thought that with my abilities, I could save the world, but in the end, I found that I couldn't save anyone."
"If you want to do something well, you must consider everything carefully, Xiao Xun. Let's go! That world needs you more. This world is too complicated."
Xiao Xun laughed self-mockingly, "It seems I should leave."
Suddenly, he thought of something, "That, I remember I gave you a sword, is it still there?"
Gateliodor clapped his hands, the door opened, and Lei Wenxiu, dressed in a suit, walked in from outside, carrying a box taller than her on her back, "Mr. Xiao, how have you been?"
Xiao Xun nodded to her, "Hello."
"Give him the sword."
"Yes."
Lei Wenxiu held the leather long case on her back in her hands. Xiao Xun walked over and opened it. The familiar coolness instantly spread through his entire body.
"Child, this is the path you have chosen, do not regret it!"
Xiao Xun took a deep breath and picked up the sword, "I will not regret it."
He then bowed to Gateliodor, "Thank you, Father."
Gateliodor was stunned at first, then smiled with relief, "Go well, farewell."
Xiao Xun used his spatial ring to return to the Tullos mother ship. Although he couldn't use high-dimensional skills like in that world, he appeared above the mother ship as the strongest chaotic mage in three dimensions.
With the demonic sword, he was freed from the shackles of weightlessness.
Xiao Xun fought his way to the bridge and saw Chu Ningxiang, dressed in a silver-gray uniform.
"You are indeed here."
Chu Ningxiang was not surprised at all, but instead said, "You are indeed not from Planet Blue."
Xiao Xun walked up to Xiao Xun, "So what if I'm not? At least I'm protecting Planet Blue, unlike you..."
Chu Ningxiang spread her hands, "What about me?"
"You invaded Planet Blue."
"Did I invade? This is just my family's plane is a bit big, what? You're not letting it park? And you attacked first, didn't you? Have we killed anyone?"
Xiao Xun was speechless for a moment. It was indeed their side that attacked first.
"You also created such a large person and killed so many of our people. Don't we need to settle this account?"
"Then how do you want to settle it?"
"A life for a life, how do you want to settle it?"
Xiao Xun raised his sword, "What if I don't let you kill?"
Chu Ningxiang pointed at the large screen, "You don't know the current situation yet, do you? The entire Planet Blue is mine. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me is disrupting peace and is a heinous criminal, deserving death by everyone."
"You're lying."
"Just open your eyes and see for yourself, don't deceive yourself."
Xiao Xun turned his head and looked. Below, order had been restored. People were shopping, eating, and the festive lights of countless homes lit up the night, as if they didn't care about the dark mass of alien ships in the sky.
"See?"
Xiao Xun frowned deeply, "What kind of sorcery is this?"
"What sorcery could I have? I told you, Planet Blue is my private property, and everyone below is mine. The responsibility to protect Planet Blue is also mine. Anyone who harbors ill intentions towards me will face consequences you cannot bear."
"You tampered with their minds?"
"No, they submitted to me willingly." Saying this, Chu Ningxiang sat in the command position, "Now, do you still want to attack me?"
Xiao Xun was momentarily unsure of what to do, "I..."
Chu Ningxiang stood up, placed one hand on Xiao Xun's shoulder, and held his sword-wielding hand, "Now, you still have a choice."
"What choice?"
Chu Ningxiang stood on tiptoe, "Share Planet Blue with me, how about it?"
Xiao Xun retorted, "Where are my parents?"
Chu Ningxiang was startled, "How would I know? I haven't even seen what they look like. Don't blame me for everything. I, the Princess of Tullos, would never do anything to threaten someone."
Xiao Xun gritted his teeth and said, "I hope not..."
With that, he used his spatial ring to return to the ground.
Chu Ningxiang slammed the armrest, "Guards!"
A squad of Tullos soldiers appeared beside Chu Ningxiang, "Your Highness, please give your orders."
"Pass my command: Xiao Xun has disrupted the prosperity and stability of the human race. Anyone who encounters him is to be killed without mercy."
"Yes!"
