“Huff… I finally caught this guy.”

Golutarn, sealed in the Time-Space Amber and covered in wounds, looked like a specimen.

Staring at the stubborn expression frozen on his face, Han Xiao finally relaxed his tense nerves.

A peak Super-A Grade expert fighting to the death had endless trump cards. If it weren’t for the Time-Space Amber, Emperor’s Mechanical Suit, dual Mechanical Senses, and his mount Silver Shadow being powerful enough, he might not have been able to suppress this peak beefcake.

After all, this time, unlike dealing with the Heterogeneous God, he didn't have targeted killer moves like Esper Ability Silence. He could only use all his means to fight head-on. Therefore, the loss of his mechanical troops was inevitable, and a large number of mechanical soldiers needed to be returned to the factory for reconstruction.

Both sides were peak meat shields, and there was no situation where a single blow could determine victory or defeat. The battle process could be summed up as grinding each other down, repeating over and over again, seeing who could grind the other bald first.

If it weren't for the Imperial allies watching from the sidelines, it would have inevitably evolved into a chase battle, and who knows how long it would have taken to fight. Maybe he would have been able to escape… But now the result was ideal. With Golutarn captured, things could be considered settled.

“This time, the goal can be considered achieved. I protected Hela, demonstrated the functions of the Emperor, enough to dispel other people's thoughts about Hela, and even captured Golutarn. The outcome of the event is very beneficial to me.”

Coming to confront Golutarn head-on, venting anger was only one aspect; the main thing was to show a resolute attitude and establish his authority.

Because his py image was deeply rooted in people's hearts, coupled with more than twenty years of low-key behavior, it led to people constantly testing him recently, thinking he had no temper.

And this time, he didn't rely too much on the strength of the Empire, and basically established his authority independently. Now that he has achieved such a result, other forces will definitely have to re-evaluate the consequences if they want to provoke him in the future, and consider whether it is worth provoking such a tough peak Super-A Grade.

The only problem was that the record of this event was too terrifying, almost unbelievable.

Although the people from Glory and Void were not fighting to the death, and various factors led to them not being able to exert their full strength, allowing him to take advantage of loopholes, the outside world would not care about the intricacies, and would only see the record of 1 vs 12. And in the face of this record, his feat of taking down a peak Super-A Grade after switching to Golutarn was just an add-on.

This kind of sensational feat was enough to be among the most shocking Super-A Grade records in history!

But everything in excess is as bad as not enough. His true combat power has not reached that level, and he possesses such a record, which is not entirely a good thing. And what made Han Xiao glad was that Seraon gave his burst this time the description of "burning potential".

In this way, the major high-level forces, including the three major civilizations, would be able to accept such a record, and other Super-A Grades would also believe this explanation.

With this statement, coupled with the reason of the Super-A Grade united front, Manison should not come to test him because of seeing his amazing performance, thus removing a big trouble.

At the same time, the statement of burning potential would not weaken his authority-establishing effect this time.

As for why, this burst form was brought about by many character cards, some of which could only be used once…

—But others don't know it's a one-time thing!

Han Xiao knew what those high-level forces were thinking, that was, they would form an illusion, thinking that as long as he was willing to pay the price of burning potential again, he could regain such combat power!

Even if he explained, others would not believe it!

Therefore, following this line of thought, he could let the various forces come to a conclusion, that is…

Don't push Black Star too hard!

In this way, the final impact would be self-evident.

Han Xiao pondered in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Not only did I achieve the authority-establishing effect, but I can also continue to maintain a stable development situation. This is simply a blood profit…”

At this moment, he had only one thought:

Seraon is really a good comrade!

Suppressing the secret joy in his heart, Han Xiao asked Phillip to command the troops to clean up the battlefield and put away the Golutarn amber specimen.

The Imperial allies and others came up only after seeing the end of the battle.

“You have done an incredible thing this time. Once it spreads, it will definitely cause a huge impact.”

Kahn sighed, “As expected, young people are sharp and full of vigor. When I became famous in the universe, I was also very young. Now, I have to weigh the gains and losses and consequences of everything I do. Where can I still have such courage?”

“You are being modest.” Han Xiao smiled.

“Let’s not talk about idle matters. Defeating Golutarn is just a small matter. The question is, what are you going to do with him?”

Kahn was not surprised by this result. Black Star was in a burst state, the battlefield environment was favorable, and he himself was a peak Super-A Grade, not a weakling. Therefore, defeating another peak Super-A at this time was very normal in his opinion, far less shocking than the record of repelling twelve Super-A Grades from Glory and Void.

“Well, Golutarn doesn't have any backers. No one will redeem him. I'll keep him as a collection.”

Beast Ancestor was one of the protectors of the interstellar black market. Without the backing of a civilization like the three major civilizations, he naturally did not need to hand people over. And this was also one of the means by which the three major civilizations attracted Super-A Grades. No one dared to say that they would never be defeated. Only a cosmic civilization as a backer could give people peace of mind.

Kahn nodded and said:

“This time, things happened suddenly, and we couldn't help much, but fortunately the result is not bad. The Empire will help you deal with the aftermath. It is estimated that the senior leaders of the Empire will come to negotiate with you in a while.”

“I know.”

At this moment, Silver Shadow broke away from the mount state and returned to its original form, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Han Xiao nodded to him:

“Thanks for your help this time. Thank you. Come back with me later, be my guest, and I will fulfill my promise.”

“I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have discovered this new ability.”

Although Silver Shadow was badly injured, he developed a new posture, which made him feel very good.

Kerl couldn't help but curiously ask, “Silver Shadow, what ability was that just now? Can you perform it again?”

“That was a special form that Black Star helped me discover…”

Silver Shadow chatted eagerly with everyone, and Han Xiao nodded secretly as he watched this scene.

Under my influence, it is estimated that this guy will start his happy life on the bus ahead of time…

But I have the kindness of guiding him, so the difficulty of privatizing the public bus should be reduced a lot.

At this time, Han Xiao turned his head to look at Ravenlaude, who had been silent all the time. Seeing that he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, he took the initiative to talk to him:

“How is it? Are you healed?”

“Almost…” Ravenlaude recalled the experience of being beaten up not long ago, and his expression was a little resentful.

“Haha, thank you for coming to help this time despite your previous grievances.” Han Xiao smiled.

“Actually, I didn't help much.”

“You can't say that. If it weren't for your teleportation, the Imperial reinforcements wouldn't have been able to arrive here so quickly. Let me owe you a favor.”

Hearing this, a little smile appeared on Ravenlaude's face, and he felt much better.

Hey, although Black Star is annoying sometimes, he is still a pretty good person overall.

—Sorry, Little Overlord, I may not be able to go to the Anti-Black Alliance. You continue to persevere on your own!

Suddenly, everyone felt a movement and turned their heads to look. They saw that the Beast Ancestor's fleet, which had been watching for a long time, began to retreat rapidly.

“They are actually watching their leader encounter disaster. They are really a group of subordinates who know how to assess the situation.” Kerl shook his head and satirized.

“With Golutarn gone, his forces will probably be divided up soon.” Beyoni snorted coldly, “But it's also a good thing. I've always disliked what this guy does. If he didn't buy a large number of female creatures of various species from the interstellar black market, how could he have produced so many offspring? Destroying his forces will at least reduce the black market's human trafficking business.”

“It seems that you are the least qualified to say that…”

Han Xiao vaguely remembered that Beyoni also had a huge harem.

“Can that be the same? I choose from my clansmen, and I don't force others. I don't even have to be indiscriminate and sow seeds all over the universe.”

Beyoni was quite proud, feeling that he occupied the moral high ground.

In the Super-A Grade class, there are actually many people who dislike Golutarn's cause-and-effect way of doing things, but because of his strength, few people are looking for trouble. At this time, the Imperial allies present saw Golutarn fall into Han Xiao's hands, and they all clapped their hands and cheered.

Han Xiao secretly curled his lips, ignored him, and silently opened the Mission Panel to take a look.

Including Golutarn, he had captured a total of five Super-A Grades, which had long since met the indicators of the additional mission. At this time, the mission showed the "Completed" state.

“I have five chances to draw abilities. I have to seize them.”

Han Xiao was secretly excited.

This time, he had to burn incense, bathe, and wash his hands before settling the mission rewards, otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss if he drew some useless abilities?

Di di…

The communicator suddenly rang. He glanced at it. It was Ulan Rier calling.

Han Xiao connected and responded, “Your Excellency Head of State.”

“I know everything. The Empire will negotiate with Glory and Void. Tell me the detailed reasons for the matter first.”

“Okay, it's like this…” Han Xiao said the matter again, omitting some details.

“Hela actually has such an ability…”

After listening to Han Xiao, Ulan Rier pondered for a while, and suddenly changed the topic, “Then what about you? What price did you pay? Did you really burn your potential?”

“Yes.” Han Xiao's expression remained unchanged.

“How much damage is there specifically?”

“I don't know either.”

“Sigh…”

Ulan Rier felt a little regretful, “You were still impulsive. You could have completely wrapped Hela in the Time-Space Amber, and our Empire would have redeemed her. This matter could have been completely avoided… You are the most promising Esper of all time. It's not worth it to make such an unwise move to vent your anger.”

“No, no, if I did that, it would be equivalent to helping the enemy disintegrate Hela's ability to resist, and the uncertainty of redemption is too high. Void may not be willing to trade, or may permanently hide Hela, while Glory will ask me to unseal the Everlasting Lord's Scepter… Besides, Hela is not an Imperial ally, and the Empire's redemption is untenable.”

Hearing this, Ulan Rier frowned slightly.

“You mean, even if this kind of thing happened, you are still unwilling to let Hela join the Empire?”

“Hela has her own wishes. You make it sound like I can force her.” Han Xiao laughed.

“Joining the Empire can avoid similar things from happening again. You should persuade her. She probably doesn't want to see you burn your potential for her a second time,” Ulan Rier said.

“…I see.” Han Xiao's eyes flashed.

If the Empire used this reason to persuade Hela, Hela might really agree with her temperament. Ulan Rier reminded him of this.

Han Xiao shook his head. Just as he hung up the communication, a new communication request came in.

He glanced at it. This time it was from the headquarters.

The scene in the Black Star Palace command room appeared on the screen. Hela stood in the front, next to Ames and Aurora. Around them were many legion executives, all looking at Han Xiao on the screen with concern.

“Black Star, are you alright?”

“I'm fine. The matter has been resolved. Golutarn has been captured by me. Hela, he is the culprit who leaked the information and wanted to retaliate against you. You don't have to worry about him now.” Han Xiao smiled slightly.

Hela pursed her lips, her expression complicated.

Black Star protected her at all costs, and even solved the culprit. Looking at Han Xiao's deliberately relaxed face at this time, and imagining how difficult the battle he had experienced was, Hela's heart was filled with gratitude that she couldn't speak.

Words were too light and could not bear the emotion in her heart at this time.

Seeing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but joke, “Say what you want to say. This hesitant look is not like the Hela I remember.”

Hela took a deep breath, stared into Han Xiao's eyes, and said word by word:

“You will always be my… Legion Commander.”

There were no more words of thanks. It was more like a statement, a declaration, a promise.

Hearing this, Han Xiao put away his smile, looked seriously into Hela's eyes, and nodded slowly.

“Okay.”

At this time, Ames, who was on the side, spoke and said softly, “I heard Hela say that you burned your potential?”

“Don't worry, that's all fake. I didn't lose anything at all.”

Ames nodded lightly. In her opinion, this was obviously a kind lie that Han Xiao said to comfort them.

She didn't expose Han Xiao's "good intentions" and just silently remembered it in her heart.

“By the way, where did the Traveler go?” Han Xiao remembered something.

“He ran away, but we also injured him.” Hela interjected, “Before he left, he said that our Black Star Legion doesn't follow the rules and even ganged up on people who came to challenge us. Is he really related to this matter?”

“Hmph, this guy is quite dramatic… Let's not worry about him for now. He's just a turd polisher at best. I don't have time to deal with this guy now. Let's talk about it later.”

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, “I'll go back first. We'll probably be busy next…”

…

The entire universe was paying attention to the situation in the Flickering World. This big news broke out suddenly, breaking free from the limitations of distance and spreading wildly through various channels like a prairie fire.

Everyone who saw the news was stunned.

Glory and Void gathered twelve Super-A Grades, trying to kill the second-in-command of the Black Star Legion, but they were repelled by the Black Star himself, and even captured several prisoners. Not only that, even the Beast Ancestor Golutarn of the Interstellar Black Market was held accountable by Black Star for getting involved in this matter and was directly captured alive after being found.

The meaning was… Black Star fought more than a dozen Super-A Grades alone and won?!

Damn, are you kidding me!

So far, all the news that has happened since the opening of the Flickering World is probably not as good as this big news!

The entire universe was shocked!
