“You ask me, but I want to ask you.”

The old man slowly turned his head, his cold eyes fixed on Su Mo.

Su Mo was momentarily speechless. He hesitated and asked, "Could it be because I used the power of negative energy pollution? But that doesn't make sense. Normally, if I use negative energy pollution, shouldn't the problem be with me? How come I'm fine, but Xiao Shi is having problems instead?"

"I'm also surprised why you're fine, but it's having problems. But there's not much to say. Xiao Shi's current state is that the negative energy pollution is out of control. If it weren't for the internal Heros device still functioning, it would have completely twisted into a complete monster long ago."

The old man looked Su Mo up and down, his eyes flickering slightly, and replied in a hoarse voice.

"Then what do we do now?"

Su Mo's heart clenched, and he quickly asked.

"There's no good way. Now we have to find a way to take out the negative god fragment embedded in its body, otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more severely it will be polluted."

The old man replied coldly.

"Then take it out quickly!"

Su Mo replied hurriedly.

"Do you think I would be wasting my breath on you if it were that easy to take out? That negative god fragment is embedded in its central core. If we forcibly remove it, we might damage its core structure, which would be even more troublesome."

"Is there a gentler method?"

"Not for now. The best method right now is to wait for it to regain some reason and stabilize a bit before trying to take it out."

"Okay."

Su Mo looked at Xiao Shi in its out-of-control state, his expression becoming more and more heavy, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.

He wanted to help Xiao Shi, but he felt somewhat powerless.

The old man said coldly, "Alright, I'm leaving. You can stay here if you want."

"Okay."

Su Mo replied in a low voice.

The old man then turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Just like that, Su Mo stood quietly outside the isolation glass, silently watching the restrained Xiao Shi.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mo's electronic bracelet vibrated. He came back to his senses, glanced down at it.

"Dear Mr. Su Mo, your room has been arranged in Zone B1, Room 01."

Su Mo sighed slightly, then raised his head to look at the out-of-control Xiao Shi, his lips moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure you, wait for me!"

After speaking, Su Mo turned and walked out. After he left the secret room area and entered the corridor, he waved his hand to bring up a virtual map and walked towards the nearest floating elevator.

Soon after, Su Mo arrived at the B1 rest area.

As soon as he entered, he saw Sun Duo Xiang and Kendi and the others. They immediately came up to greet him.

"Boss, you're back."

"Is everyone settled in?"

Su Mo asked calmly.

"Yes, the living conditions are very good. Basically, the worst is two people per room."

Kendi was also a little surprised. He originally thought that any place to stay would be fine.

"What do you mean by very good? I just checked, and the area we're staying in is the best. The boss really has connections."

Sun Duo Xiang replied triumphantly.

"Everyone, rest well. The journey ahead is long."

Su Mo nodded slightly and replied casually.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you're not in a good mood?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I'm going to rest."

"Okay."

Sun Duo Xiang replied quickly.

Su Mo then walked towards his room.

Sun Duo Xiang looked at Su Mo's back and then scratched the back of his head. He always felt that the boss's condition was a little off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Negative God Star.

Inside a hidden canyon, the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer, Na Shen, activated its special stealth mode and hid inside.

From time to time, all kinds of deformed monsters swept past nearby.

However, none of those monsters discovered the Na Shen in its stealth state.

Inside the Na Shen, in a spacious room.

Enlock, Xiao Jie, Lulawi, Mahan, and others gathered together.

Their faces were unusually ugly, especially Enlock, whose eyes even contained a hint of anger.

Lulawi then spoke to persuade him, "Lord Enlock, please don't be angry. This was truly an accident. No one expected that after breaking out, Cardinal Kavise would actually lead his troops back to pick us up. This is simply too absurd."

Xiao Jie also followed up, "Lord Enlock, it doesn't matter. If we fail this time, there's always next time! As long as we remain patient, we'll definitely have a chance to shake off the Cardinal."

Enlock slammed his fist on the table, slowly stood up, and said through gritted teeth.

"We'll find another opportunity later!"

Enlock was truly left speechless by Kavise's counter-operation. They were all ready to break through and retreat from the other side, but Kavise led his people back.

He still couldn't understand why Kavise would do this? Did he have a sudden pang of conscience?

......

At this time, inside an office in the Na Shen.

Kavise sat at his desk, holding a document in his hand, his eyes constantly scrutinizing it.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a sinister smile that sent chills down one's spine appeared on his handsome face.

Looking closely, the document in his hand was a list of names.

It clearly recorded individual names and detailed information.

Vice-Cardinal of the Fallen God Church · ???

Great Elder of the Fallen God Church · Enlock.

Second Elder of the Fallen God Church · Bangji

Third Elder of the Fallen God Church · Bai Li.

......

Sixth Elder of the Fallen God Church · Monlik.

.....

Ninth Elder of the Fallen God Church · Lulawi.

Fallen God Disciple · Xiao Jie

Fallen God Disciple · Mahan.

Outer region of the Negative God Star.

Countless Spirit Touchers were jointly propping up a special conical mechanical device. A red gemstone was embedded in the head of the device, and the tail opened in a circular shape, facing the Negative God Star.

Those Spirit Touchers moved those devices little by little closer to the surface of the Negative God Star. When the distance reached a certain point, those Spirit Touchers immediately activated the devices and scattered in all directions.

The activated devices then landed on the surface of the Negative God Star, and the dense circuits on the surface of the entire device lit up.

And this scene was constantly playing out in various areas of the Negative God Star, with countless devices being deployed.

At the same time, countless Wandering Combined Beasts and Deformed Monsters on the surface of the Negative God Star just approached those devices. The elite combat troops of the Eternal Sleep Clan fearlessly went up to meet them and carried out cruel interceptions.

They did not allow those monsters to approach those devices.

Inside the central control platform of the Prism Fortress.

Mankati tapped the ground with her mechanical scepter, and a huge star chart with the Negative God Star as its main focus appeared.

The entire Negative God Star was divided into a mesh, with dense points lighting up on it. Each lit point represented an activated device.

Amiklai looked at the star chart, his brow furrowed.

"The progress is too slow. The deployment progress is only two percent!"

"There's no way around it. The Negative God Star is not comparable to Ceres. Its volume is there. This is an unprecedentedly massive project. And the most important point is that there are too many monsters on the surface of the Negative God Star. Although those monsters have no consciousness, they still occasionally destroy the devices and attack our people. Just dealing with those monsters is exhausting us."

Mankati couldn't help but explain.

"Then increase the troops and speed it up!"

Patgali replied in a deep voice.

"Alright!"

Mankati didn't say another word.

.......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the vast starry sky, after completing its first round of superluminal flight, the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer, Shadow of Calamity, pierced through subspace, its massive body traveling at high speed.

Some scattered meteorites along the way directly collided with the barrier of the Shadow of Calamity, shattering into pieces.

Inside the Shadow of Calamity.

Kendi and Sun Duo Xiang were leading their men towards the cafeteria.

Sun Duo Xiang yawned and chatted with Kendi.

"You say this ship is good in every way, but there are too many rules. The entire ship doesn't even have a private restaurant or any entertainment facilities. Even eating has to be done in the public dining hall."

"Having something to eat is good enough. After all, this is a combat ship, not an entertainment ship."

Kendi replied indifferently.

"Sigh~ Actually, everything before this isn't even the worst part. The most bizarre thing is that the cafeteria is built like a prison dining hall. People who don't know any better would think we're eating in a prison. I don't know what the boss's master was thinking, but fortunately, the food is impeccable."

Sun Duo Xiang lowered his voice and complained to Kendi.

Kendi's expression also revealed a hint of strangeness, unsure of what to say.

Soon, Sun Duo Xiang and Kendi arrived at the largest public restaurant. This restaurant was for people with a certain status to eat.

The entire restaurant was square and very spacious, but there were no decorations.

There were only simple alloy tables and benches arranged in rows, and the density was very high. At first glance, it really looked no different from a prison dining hall.

At this time, the huge dining hall was filled with fierce-looking people, each with sharp and violent eyes.

However, looking closely, one would find that the seating arrangements of the people eating here were also very particular.

Basically, a group of people would sit around one person, and everyone minded their own business.

Of course, the number of people gathered also indirectly indicated their strength.

And now, the most noticeable groups were those of Korete and Katur, each surrounded by many subordinates. Of course, Korete had a slight advantage in numbers.

Apart from those two, there were three other groups gathered together, but the numbers were relatively smaller.

At this time, Sun Duo Xiang and Kendi walked in from door number 2.

"I wonder what good food they have today. If the dishes are good, we can have a few drinks since there's nothing else to do anyway."

Sun Duo Xiang chatted with Kendi in a very good mood.

"Sure."

Kendi replied calmly.

"It's just a pity that the boss has been busy with something recently and doesn't eat with us."

Sun Duo Xiang said with a sigh.

"The boss has his own things to do."

"That's true, well, it's good enough for us to drink by ourselves."

Sun Duo Xiang nodded in response.

Just as they were walking inside, they were suddenly blocked.

Sun Duo Xiang and Kendi couldn't help but stop and look up. They saw a dozen burly men wearing IV-generation mechanical armor and full of ferocious expressions walking over. The two groups directly collided head-on.

Due to the high density of tables and chairs in the restaurant, the walking aisles were spacious but limited.

If no one gave way, naturally no one could pass.

The leader of this group of burly men was a man with a demon tattoo on his left face and a mechanical arm embedded in his right hand. He glared fiercely at Sun Duo Xiang and Kendi.

"Get out of the way!"

"Why should we!"

Sun Duo Xiang was immediately unhappy, and a nameless fire surged to his head.

The subordinates behind the man immediately glared at Sun Duo Xiang and Kendi and the others with unfriendly gazes, looking as if they would take them down at the slightest disagreement.

And the people Kendi and Sun Duo Xiang brought were not pushovers either, returning the fierce glares. One should know that Kendi's subordinates were all from the Endless Prison, and Sun Duo Xiang's people were all desperadoes.

The atmosphere was tense.

The others sitting nearby eating all revealed expressions of watching a good show and began to discuss.

"There's a good show to watch. Do you think they'll fight?"

"Hard to say, but Atik is probably going to kick a steel plate."

"Oh, really? Those people don't look like they're vegetarians, but are we just vegetarians? Why can they live in the best rooms while we have to make way for them?"

"There's no way around it. Who told them that the boss they follow is awesome? He's the master's disciple, and I heard that he got the permissions of a vice-captain as soon as he got on board. This is a treatment that even Lord Korete and Lord Katur don't have."

"Hmph, what's so great about it."

......

Korete, who was eating not far away, glanced at the side where the conflict was about to break out, then withdrew his gaze and continued eating, as if it was none of his business.

On the other hand, Katur looked at this scene with some schadenfreude.

He grinned and said, "The best thing would be if they fight!"

"Lord Katur is right. If they fight, we'll have a good show to watch."

"That's right, we've long been unhappy with that bunch of guys. We even had to make way for them on board, and their standards for food and drink are the highest."

"Aren't they just riding on someone else's coattails."

.....

The subordinates next to him echoed.

At this time, Atik, who was leading the trouble, naturally heard the discussions nearby and the gazes of those watching the show. He was even less likely to give way, otherwise, how would he be able to get along in the future, so he said fiercely.

"I said, a good dog doesn't block the way, get out of my way!"

"Looking to die!"

The people behind Sun Duo Xiang were about to take action.

However, Kendi reached out his hand and pressed them down.

Sun Duo Xiang was also slightly stunned and looked at Kendi and said, "Kendi, what are you doing?"

"The boss said, don't cause trouble, let them pass."

Kendi reminded him simply.

Sun Duo Xiang heard Kendi's words, although he was itching with anger, he still didn't act out, and directly waved his hand to lead his men to make way.

"Hmph! Consider yourselves smart."

Atik spat and walked over arrogantly.

"Tsk!"

Everyone looked at this scene with mocking expressions, but more of them were disappointed that there was no good show to watch.

However, everything that happened was seen by Su Mo, who walked in from door number 1.

Although he didn't say anything, he felt exceptionally gratified in his heart. Kendi and Sun Duo Xiang had done a great job.

Su Mo then walked into the cafeteria.

At this time, the people who were still mocking all saw Su Mo walking in, and one by one, they shut their mouths.

Although they didn't approve of Su Mo from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't dare to show it on their faces now. After all, Su Mo was a ruthless person when he received special training here before!

Almost all the stronger people had been beaten by him, even Katur had been defeated by him.

"Boss, you're here!"

Sun Duo Xiang saw Su Mo walking in, his eyes lit up, and he quickly waved to greet him.

Su Mo walked over and said to Sun Duo Xiang and the others, "Yeah, let's eat."

"Okay!"

Sun Duo Xiang and the others replied with smiles.

Katur, who was not far away, felt unlucky when he saw Su Mo coming in to eat, and directly stood up and left. The younger brothers beside him followed him out.

Su Mo glanced at the departing Katur, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Su Mo suddenly felt that there were strange eyes observing him, and he immediately squinted his eyes over.

As a result, he did not find the source of those strange eyes, but only saw Korete and a group of confidants eating there on their own.

"Boss, don't pay attention to the people here, they are all a bunch of arrogant thorns."

Sun Duo Xiang quickly said to Su Mo with a smile.

"I know, it's nothing."

Su Mo replied faintly.

"Boss, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

"En, something light."

……

----------------------------------------

Lewakris Base.

Special assembly sounds echoed everywhere, and countless ships and mecha were starting up.

In the outer space of the base, the massive Star Ring City emerged and moved towards the Lewakris Base.

Inside the Star Ring City's command center.

Ikaroya sat elegantly and aloofly in the command chair.

The Green Ghost, who was waiting by her side, respectfully reported.

"We have arrived at Lewakris Base. Commander Lorek of the Second Legion is rushing over from inside the base."

"What about the Third Legion, the Dust Legion, the Fourth Legion, the Keras Legion, and the Fifth Legion, the Black and White Legion?"

"They are all on their way to assemble and will all arrive soon."

"I understand."

Ikaroya replied coldly.

After the Green Ghost finished reporting, he respectfully retreated to the side.

In fact, apart from the newly formed Sixth Legion, Seventh Legion, Eighth Legion, and Ninth Legion, all the ace legions of the Star Ring City were gathering here.

It could be said that this was almost all the main force of the Star Ring City.

As for the newly formed four legions, Ikaroya, apart from transferring some elite personnel, had all the rest follow the City of Radiance to stay behind.

In just over an hour.

Second Legion Commander Lorek, Third Legion Commander Aisalogga, Fourth Legion Commander Keras, and Fifth Legion Commander Nanchi all appeared in the Star Ring City's command center.

And their troops and fortresses had all moved over.

Looking at the entire starry sky, all of it was the Star Ring City's troops, and the scene was very spectacular.

Lorek and the others stood extremely straight, each with a tense expression.

After a long time, Ikaroya slowly stood up and said.

"Link all the legion's officers and soldiers."

"Yes!"

The Green Ghost immediately carried out the order.

Swish~

In the huge command room, countless square images were displayed in a ring shape around Ikaroya.

The square images showed the officers and assembled elite soldiers of the major legions.

"Lord Ikaroya!"

Many officers and soldiers saluted Ikaroya at the same time and greeted her in unison.

Ikaroya raised her right hand and placed it on her chest, returning a salute, and said coldly and sternly.

"Everyone is the most loyal warrior of the Star Ring City, and also the elites I have personally trained. I will not be polite with you and say those empty words. Soon, I will lead the troops to the Negative God Star. You should all be very clear about the dangers of the Negative God Star. If anyone is unwilling to go, or feels that they cannot bear that danger, you can withdraw now. Of course, you don't have to worry, I will not settle accounts later. I will give all those who withdraw high-standard arrangements."

"We swear to follow Lord Ikaroya to the death!"

At this time, Commander Lorek, Commander Aisalogga, Commander Keras, and Commander Nanchi took the lead in swearing.

"We swear to follow Lord Ikaroya to the death."

For a time, all the officers and soldiers in all the images enthusiastically swore.

Ikaroya looked at this scene and said coldly.

"Very good, since that's the case, then begin the screening. All qualified personnel remain."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded fervently.

.......

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Late at night, the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer, Shadow of Calamity.

Inside a special secret laboratory.

High-precision instruments and biological capsules were located, and inside those biological capsules, different kinds of monsters and alien creatures were imprisoned, with countless tubes piercing into them.

The liquid inside these biological capsules was continuously transferred to concentrated mixing tanks.

And in the deepest part of the laboratory, there was a vortex-shaped biological instrument more than a hundred meters tall.

This biological instrument was connected to a large number of concentrated mixing tanks, drawing liquid from each tank.

The injected liquids were then passed through this biological instrument for complex synthesis, and finally injected into a glass tube in the center of the instrument.

Next to this instrument, there was also a huge culture tank. The Para Fruit tree was inside, and the fruit was still on the branches. Judging from its color, it was not far from being ripe.

At this time, researchers wearing protective suits were busy doing their own work, recording various data.

Just then, the laboratory door opened.

Korete escorted a batch of important materials in.

At this time, a doctor hurried up to greet him, and he respectfully saluted Korete.

"Lord Korete."

"Ankeji, I've brought the materials you wanted."

"How could we trouble you to personally escort them."

Ankeji quickly replied respectfully.

"This is a major matter for the lord, I dare not neglect it. Please check all the materials and make sure there are no problems, I can't afford to take responsibility."

"Okay!"

Doctor Ankeji replied quickly.

Then they began to check the materials.

Korete casually walked around the laboratory, his eyes sweeping over the various areas of the laboratory.

Just then, as he inadvertently walked past an auxiliary instrument, a flea-like microorganism fell from the armor layer on Korete's body and landed next to the auxiliary instrument.

The microorganism went straight through the gap and drilled into the auxiliary instrument. Soon after, it drilled into the biological container inside the auxiliary instrument and dissolved while submerged in the liquid inside.

Korete walked back to Doctor Ankeji with his hands behind his back.

"How is it? Have you finished checking?"

"It's finished."

"Are there any problems?"

"How could there be any problems with something that Lord Korete sent."

Doctor Ankeji replied respectfully.

"That's good."

Korete then turned and left with his men.

However, just a few seconds after Korete left the laboratory, the old man coughed and walked out of a hidden area inside the laboratory.

His cloudy eyes stared at the laboratory exit, and then his gaze slowly turned to the auxiliary instrument. Immediately afterwards, the old man coughed even more violently.

"Cough cough!"

……

------------------------

Inside a scarlet world.

On a red lake that resembled a mirror, a petite figure was submerged waist-deep.

Looking closely, the petite figure was a blue-haired girl around the age of twelve, her light blue skin as delicate as water, and her exquisite and serene face as flawless as a work of art.

Her hands were crossed, her head buried in her hands, and her whole body exuded a faint blue halo.

And looking at the underwater around her, one could vaguely see countless twisted heads, wailing faces, and hideous claws congealed into a terrifying tumorous body.

The blue-haired girl's lower body was embedded inside it.

At this time, a dark red fragment embedded in the blue-haired girl's chest continuously emitted a scarlet halo.

Immediately, countless wronged souls and twisted monsters around her struggled to crawl out of the water, frantically reaching out their pale claws towards the girl.

These claws were blocked and dissolved by a faint blue halo emanating from the girl's surface just as they were about to touch her. However, those monsters were radiated by the scarlet halo, and one by one, they rushed over madly.

Immediately, the blue-haired girl, protected by the blue halo, revealed an increasingly painful expression on her exquisite face.

Inside the cold metal room.

Su Mo suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, his back covered in cold sweat.

"Huff huff~"

His heart was pounding wildly.

After a moment, Su Mo gradually calmed down, but his expression became more and more uneasy.

It had been many years since he had had a nightmare, and it was such a clear nightmare.

But for some reason, Su Mo calmed down and carefully recalled the nightmare he had just had, but his head was blank and his memory became somewhat vague.

No matter how he tried to recall it, he could only remember a vague blue figure.
