Chapter 1 He Escaped!

"Hahaha, I escaped!"

In the space storm like thunderclouds, a green light orb floated up and down, precisely the Traveler using a magical shield to protect his body.

At this moment, he was no longer in the insane mode influenced by the Evil Energy Aggregate, his skin was still pale, but the evil aura had disappeared, his expression returned to normal, leaving only a face full of lingering fear and unwillingness.

In order to ambush Klotti, the Traveler sought out friends he had made in the secondary dimensions over the years, fully believing that with himself and a total of four Super-As, and with home-field advantage, they could at least force back Dark Emperor.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Klotti was too strong. His superpower was inherently a high-risk ability, and its development had reached a very high level. The large-scale attack power was explosive. Through dark energy, he simulated a miniature universe explosion, overturning the entire Evil Energy Aggregate secondary dimension and bursting the space wall from the inside.

If it was just personal strength, that would be one thing. Although the few Super-As were no match for him, they still had a chance to run. However, what made the Traveler the most desperate was that Klotti had cosmic treasures in his hands, and several of them!

As an imperial direct descendant and chief guard of the head of state, Klotti never lacked cosmic treasures, and he didn't need to exchange for them. In order to facilitate his missions, the empire actively took out different cosmic treasures from the warehouse and gave them to Klotti for use, just like issued military equipment.

This time, when Klotti went to the secondary dimension to perform his mission, he took five cosmic treasures from the empire's warehouse, which greatly benefited his combat power. He went all out and directly killed three assisting Super-As who had not yet reached the 52,000 energy level limit.

Only the Traveler, because of his connection with the secondary dimension, took advantage of his 'wife' exploding and used the invading space turbulence to randomly shuttle through space, escaping with his life.

The Evil Energy Aggregate was gone. He would not be able to summon it in the future, resulting in a sharp drop in combat power, returning to his original level of Super-A. His years of effort had been wasted, and his heart ached beyond compare, as if his heart had been crumpled into a ball.

But as a result of the disaster, the enemy could no longer track him through the Evil Energy Aggregate. As long as he hid well, he would be safe.

"Living means there is still a chance."

The Traveler's heart was filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

Moreover, there was still hope for a comeback…

The Traveler lowered his head and spread out his palm. A purple-green fragment with an irregular shape lay quietly in his palm, its texture like glass.

This was the source energy fragment of the Evil Energy Aggregate. As long as it was planted in the secondary dimension world using special methods, there was a chance to regrow a new Evil Energy Aggregate, but it would take a long time.

"As long as I avoid the pursuit of the Crimson Dynasty and wait until they give up, I will have plenty of time to recover my strength. It seems that I have to hide in the secondary dimension world for decades or even hundreds of years… Fortunately, my lifespan is still very long."

The Traveler secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got rid of the haze of failure, and cheered himself up again.

After surviving a great disaster, there will be good fortune!

At this moment, three space wall cracks suddenly appeared in the space storm, leading to unknown secondary dimensions.

Inside the space storm, encountering space wall cracks was like encountering an exit, otherwise, one could only get lost in the space turbulence.

"To encounter an exit so quickly, it seems like my luck is about to change." The Traveler's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he directly chose one of the cracks and flew straight in.

The next moment, the world in front of him changed, turning into a secondary dimension riddled with holes, with countless broken black floating islands inside, all dead silent.

The Traveler passed through the space wall and fell into this secondary dimension. Before he could be happy that he had escaped a catastrophe, he saw at a glance that a man and a woman in the dimension were staring blankly up at him, without wearing mecha helmets.

Seeing the appearance of the two people clearly, the Traveler's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly paled in horror.

Black Star and Dragon Emperor!

What the hell, why are they here?

He had just escaped a ruthless one, how could he run into another one?!

The Traveler's eyes almost popped out. He didn't have time to think about the reason. He immediately stopped his falling body and hurriedly returned along the original path, rushing towards the space turbulence above.

"Don't run!" Ames immediately reacted, reached out and yanked violently. A majestic force field grabbed the Traveler's body, which was trying to escape, and pulled him towards her.

The Traveler was already severely injured and had lost the Evil Energy Aggregate, suffering backlash. At this time, his condition was extremely bad, and he couldn't break free from Ames' force field at all.

"I can't fall here!" The Traveler secretly became ruthless, stimulating his injured and exhausted spirit with secret techniques regardless of the consequences, causing his magic power to operate at high speed and cast spells quickly.

The prototype of a teleportation gate quickly took shape beside him, rapidly forming.

However, before he could complete the spellcasting, a sudden force field of imprisonment interrupted his spell.

Below, Ames' usually lazy eyes suddenly became sharp, remotely glaring at the Traveler. A circle of force field ripples suddenly bloomed from between her eyebrows.

Buzz!

Force Field - Dragon's Gaze!

The Traveler's body instantly froze in mid-air!

Before he could react, Ames appeared in front of him through void shuttle and gently pressed her palm on his forehead.

The next moment, a violent force field gushed out from Ames' palm and poured into the Traveler's body.

Force Field - Stress Tear!

The force field in the Traveler's body suddenly stretched in all directions, with different directions, forming countless interacting forces.

Crack crack crack—

The Traveler heard the sound of countless bones and tendons being torn apart in his body. Intense pain suddenly erupted, sweeping through every nerve, making him unable to control his face contorted by pain.

Pfft!!

All parts of the Traveler's body exploded with blood flowers, dyeing him into a blood man, opening his mouth wide to let out a silent scream.

His already serious injuries were immediately aggravated.

At this time, Ames' eyes revealed a cold light. She raised a long leg high, and a highly concentrated force field condensed into an extremely sharp cutting force on her calf, and she suddenly chopped down.

Force Field - Dragon Axe!

Swish!

Ames' long leg slashed diagonally into the Traveler's right shoulder, like a hot knife through butter, directly cutting off the Traveler's arm!

She didn't give the Traveler any chance to resist, and took advantage of the situation to step on the Traveler's neck, and landed heavily on a broken black floating island below, firmly stepping the dying Traveler under her feet.

At this time, Han Xiao flew over unhurriedly, looking at the ferocious Ames in surprise:

"Why are you suddenly so brutal? It's not like you."

Ames didn't turn her head, just stared at the Traveler under her feet, and said lightly: "When Hela was besieged, he came to attack Black Star's Palace. I didn't understand it at the time, but later I roughly guessed that he wanted to lure out your Sovereign Avatar, to share your energy in rescuing Hela. It's just that you had the foresight to ask me to sit in Black Star's Palace, so he didn't succeed."

Facing the Traveler, Ames did not show any mercy, not only because he was with the enemies who tried to kill Hela, but also because these people made Han Xiao have to pay the price of burning his potential. In her opinion, Han Xiao kept silent about this because he didn't want Hela to feel guilty. Ames understood Han Xiao's approach, but she would not really forget it, and had always kept this matter in her heart.

This trip to the secondary dimension world was mainly to accompany Han Xiao to relax (in her opinion), but she didn't come without the intention of settling accounts with the Traveler.

At this time, new and old hatreds broke out together, Ames made a thunderous move without hesitation.

Han Xiao啧啧sounded twice, squatted down and looked at the seriously injured Traveler, and said happily:

"Yo-ho, what day is it today? My luck is so good. I wanted to settle accounts with you, but I didn't expect you to come to my door yourself."

The Traveler's face turned red, and veins bulged out, revealing a sense of suffocation and resentment.

He finally escaped Dark Emperor's clutches, but ran into Black Star's gun.

He just left the tiger's den, and entered the wolf's lair!

With great ups and downs in his mood, the Traveler was now devastated, and he didn't even have the energy to curse fate's unfairness.

He was out of luck. He had nothing to say, and could only sigh in his heart.

This was luck, it was heaven who wanted to kill him!

Han Xiao looked at the injuries on the Traveler's body caused by Dark Emperor, and asked curiously: "Who did you meet? You're seriously injured?"

The Traveler was silent, with an expression of resignation. When he was not influenced by the Evil Energy Aggregate, he was quite normal. Since he knew that he had no chance of survival, he did not beg for mercy.

"Yo, he's quite tough,"

Han Xiao's eyes turned, and he smiled softly: "I just don't know what the Star Arc Civilization will react when you die. You don't have to deny it. Since I can accurately name the civilization you serve, I naturally have iron evidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Traveler's expression suddenly changed drastically. He looked at Han Xiao in disbelief and horror.

His activities in the outside world were all disguised as a neutral camp, accepting employment from different civilizations to conceal the fact that he belonged to a Super Star Cluster Civilization. His true identity had always been his secret, and the Star Arc Civilization was the Super Star Cluster Civilization he secretly served. The outside world did not know about this.

In this way, no matter what he did, it would not involve the civilization, and it was also the reason why he could do things with peace of mind.

But now, the identity that had been hidden was suddenly revealed by Han Xiao, and the Traveler was shocked and his mind was in chaos.

He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but listening to Han Xiao's determined expression and tone, it was obvious that he had control of the evidence, and was not trying to trick him.

"You, why did you..."

"Why do I know?"

Han Xiao took over the conversation, revealing a wicked smile, and jokingly said:

"Solo Jin told me all this."

He originally just habitually passed the blame, but the Traveler's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"It really was him!" The Traveler gritted his teeth, "He noticed the flaw. The upper echelons shouldn't have cooperated with him!"

Hmm? Is Solo Jin really involved in this? Han Xiao was stunned instead.

He thought it was the Super Star Cluster Civilization making its own decisions, wanting to muddy the waters and intensify the conflict between the three major civilizations, but he didn't know that the Traveler's attack on Black Star's Palace was really related to Solo Jin.

It seems that he accidentally discovered an interesting inside story...

Han Xiao's mind raced, but on the surface, he remained calm and smiled: "Since I know your origin, you should honestly explain the whole process, otherwise you know the consequences, your debts will be counted on the Star Arc Civilization, and I may be able to help you."

If the Traveler was alone, it would be one thing, and he could generously go to his death, but according to the previous life's information, the Traveler was loyal to the Star Arc Civilization, and now that he had exposed his concerns, Han Xiao immediately seized the handle.

Moreover, the Traveler deeply hated Solo Jin for telling Black Star about this matter, and was even more worried that he would tell more people, so he simply confessed Solo Jin's cooperation agreement.

This was not only a compromise, but he was also trying to use this method to provoke Black Star's hatred towards Solo Jin, maybe he could use a knife to kill people and eliminate Solo Jin.

The Traveler told the story in detail, and Han Xiao finally understood the hidden secrets behind the incident. His eyes flickered, he pinched his chin, and murmured:

"Solo Jin... So you were the one who persuaded the Super Star Cluster Alliance. You are the guy who wants to muddy the waters, and you stand on the opposite side of the Super-A Grade Unified Front..."

Connecting the inside story revealed by the Traveler, coupled with the limited information from his previous life, Han Xiao sneered secretly, and probably understood Solo Jin's true intentions.

What maintaining the balance of the universe, what Super-A Grades should know to be content, what standing on the position of the group, were all high-sounding bullshit, but a banner for ambitious people.

There were two ways to go up, one was to develop to a higher level by oneself, and the other was to reduce competitors. Solo Jin was the latter. In Han Xiao's opinion, this guy couldn't wait for only a single-digit number of Super-A Grades to be left in the entire universe, just wanting to monopolize privileges.

The fewer high-level combat forces there were, the smaller his obstacles would be. So, it was natural that he wanted to reduce the number of Super-A Grades, so he used the camp differences set by high-level civilizations to provoke conflicts between Super-A Grades.

Han Xiao had actually been vigilant about Solo Jin, but he was not sure about his scheme. Now that he officially knew Solo Jin's goal, it was equivalent to exposing a strong enemy lurking in the dark and plotting conspiracies. In the future, he could make targeted preparations. Thinking of this, his mood relaxed a lot.

Putting away these calculations, Han Xiao pointed to the Traveler's wound and asked, "How did you get your injury? Who is chasing you?"

The Traveler glared at Han Xiao with grief and indignation, and gritted his teeth: "It's Dark Emperor of your Crimson Dynasty!"

"Oh, he's here too?"

Han Xiao was surprised, and thought of the information that Dark Emperor had stepped down as the Captain of the Head of State's Guard, and suddenly understood.

It seemed that the head of state of the dynasty was dissatisfied with the renewed cooperation between Glory and the Vitreous, and coupled with the issues of the Shining World and the Evolution Totem, he wanted to establish prestige in terms of high-level combat forces. So, he let Dark Emperor come forward to pursue and kill the enemy, in order to warn organizations with ulterior motives... Speaking of which, for Dark Emperor, a peak Super-A Grade of this level, the position of guard was a shackle instead.

Hearing that Klotti had easily resolved the Traveler's ambush, Han Xiao couldn't help but secretly admire.

——As expected of a member of the three major civilization's trump card "Shadow Guide" combination, he was really sharp.

Han Xiao thought for a while, activated the communication system of the Emperor Mecha, found Crimson Dynasty Outpost A000, and dialed over.

The secondary dimension was not as good as the main universe. There was no quantum network coverage, and many places were no-signal zones. However, Han Xiao came with his own ultra-large-range quantum base station, and the secondary dimension mecha worn by Klotti was an imperial-specific model, equipped with special directional communication equipment that could contact the imperial outpost to prevent them from getting lost. So Han Xiao simply called the imperial base stationed in the secondary dimension, using it as a relay to transfer the call to Klotti.

Because the Traveler was Dark Emperor's mission target, Han Xiao felt it necessary to notify Klotti, otherwise he might mistakenly think that the Traveler had escaped, and waste his energy in the secondary dimension world, foolishly looking for people.

After waiting for a while, the communication was finally connected, and Klotti's remote projection appeared in front of him, and he was frowning.

"Black Star? What do you want from me?"

As Pillars of the Dynasty, due to the differences in their duties and identities, their communication over the decades had been very limited. Their relationship was average, and they had no other friendship. Their interaction was limited to colleagues at work.

"The Traveler is here with me, and I caught him..."

Han Xiao briefly explained the matter.

After listening, Klotti replied concisely: "I will go there immediately to confirm with my own eyes."

"Okay." Han Xiao paused and sent the coordinates to Dark Emperor.

Klotti nodded and said slowly: "By the way, when the Traveler ran away, he took away a source energy fragment of the Evil Energy Aggregate. Look carefully, it should still be in his hands."

After speaking, his remote projection disappeared and he hung up the communication, without any intention of exchanging pleasantries.

"So aloof." Han Xiao muttered, then turned to look at the Traveler and reached out his hand: "Source energy fragment, take it out."

The Traveler gritted his teeth, unwillingly took out the source energy fragment of the Evil Energy Aggregate, as if he had handed over his wife, his face looked green.

Han Xiao took it, held it in his hand and played with it carefully.

This was the key for the Traveler to summon the Evil Energy Aggregate, like the wick of the Shadow Lantern, using the source energy fragment as a medium to unleash the special energy of the secondary dimension to which it belonged.

Unfortunately, the Evil Energy Aggregate was gone now, and this source energy fragment could only serve as a fire, but thinking of the Traveler's frenzied state after being possessed, he didn't intend to become the groom of the Evil Energy Aggregate.

Han Xiao put away this trophy and secretly thought about how to deal with the Traveler.

According to his idea, of course, it would be best to seal him in the Time Amber, but Dark Emperor's mission was to kill him, and Ames didn't seem willing to let it go.

Buzz!

While he was thinking, the perception of the three people present moved at the same time, and they sensed the appearance of an unfamiliar signal.

The three of them turned their heads and looked at the same time, and saw that the space wall in the distance cracked open and spat out a small fleet.

Before Han Xiao and the three could wonder, the fleet slightly identified the direction, and then turned around and rushed towards the three of them, aggressively, and the comers were not good.

In the main ship's command room, Luo stared intently at Han Xiao on the screen with a confused look on his face, and said in a deep voice:

"This time it's right, that's Black Star! All ships obey the order, lock on the target, and prepare to fire!"
