Chapter 154 The Wife

Black Star Palace, the battle between Ames and the Traveler grew fierce.

Under the manipulation of her force fields, satellite bricks, like enormous iron fists, smashed the Traveler's spell shields again and again, sending him flying every which way, as if he were a baseball.

Ames seemed to have the absolute upper hand, beating the Traveler to a pulp, making him look miserable. Yet, far from being happy, she became even more vigilant.

There was a reason why the Traveler was so easily beaten. For some unknown purpose, he had used the Puppet Replacement technique multiple times, frantically selling his own blood, causing his attributes to plummet. It was as if he was deliberately hurting himself, masochistically seeking abuse.

At the same time, the unsettling, strange aura emanating from him grew increasingly pronounced.

"Delay will only bring trouble. I can't continue to entangle with him." Ames' eyes darted around, and she nodded towards the base in the distance.

The officers on the lookout tower could see her movements. This was her signal to activate the spatial stabilization trap, cutting off the Traveler's escape route.

Upon seeing this, Melos immediately gave the order:

"The ambushing troops are in position. All personnel, listen to my command, activate…"

Before he could finish speaking, the situation suddenly changed! A violet-green energy abruptly erupted from the Traveler's body, so dense that it was almost tangible, like a flowing liquid. Its appearance resembled octopus tentacles, complete with suction cup-like particles, or a bubbling, boiling potion that was constantly expanding.

The energy twisted and danced wildly, coalescing into semi-transparent, violet-green energy tentacles that were nearly solid. It was less that the Traveler was releasing them, and more that these energy tentacles were tearing open his body, struggling to squeeze themselves out!

Ames' eyes narrowed. She had no habit of watching others transform. Without a word, she condensed her force field.

Rings of force fields spun rapidly around her, like small whirlpools, quickly transforming into drill-like shapes. After a moment's pause, they shot towards the Traveler.

In the next instant, the violet-green energy around the Traveler twisted, enveloping him and forming an outer layer. The force fields slammed into it, but could not penetrate. They only pushed him back a short distance, leaving him seemingly unscathed.

"Hahahaha—useless, useless, useless!"

The Traveler laughed wildly, as if he had become a completely different person. He exuded an unspeakable evil aura, giving off a feeling of utter corruption.

Just by looking at him, many legion soldiers felt palpitations and shortness of breath... expressed in terms of the interface, everyone had just passed a Will check.

Ames continued to attack, but the purple energy enveloping the Traveler was incredibly tough, blocking all her attacks. She had no idea what kind of energy it was.

At that moment, the Traveler suddenly raised both hands, his eyes filled with fervent excitement.

"The strong one before me, this is the sacrifice your husband offers to you! Respond to my call, my beloved wife!"

Boom!

Energy exploded, spreading seemingly without end, dyeing the black velvet-like space a violet-green color, the two colors intertwined.

The nature of this area changed at that moment.

"Warning! Warning! The space-time coefficient is fluctuating violently! The peak has exceeded the reality stability safety line!"

"The spatial stabilization device is operating beyond its capacity... Warning! The stable anchor has been damaged! Stabilization failure! Requesting an increase in the number of spatial stabilization devices!"

"Analyzing the event model... Analysis complete, match rate 100%, event: Secondary Dimension Descent!"

If space was a piece of paper, the space-time stability coefficient would be like the degree to which that paper was wrinkled. The more stable it was, the smoother the paper. But at this moment, that paper was crumpled into a ball, and another piece of paper, representing a secondary dimension, was wrapping it up.

Secondary dimensions were both dangerous and wonderful, arising for different reasons. If one descended upon the main universe, it would change the spatial nature of a certain area, transforming it into a secondary dimension. Most of the time, this was a disaster.

Han Xiao had once seen a treasure called the Shadow Lantern in the Empire. Its core was a fragment of the Shadow Dimension's source energy, and its effect was to summon the descent of the Shadow Dimension. The Traveler's actions were similar to this ability.

This secondary dimension, filled with an evil aura, slowly unfurled around Black Star Palace. Ames and numerous fleets found themselves in a purplish-red space, as if swallowed by the secondary dimension, trapped in its stomach.

Endless energy tentacles stretched out from nowhere, each at least ten thousand meters long, flailing mindlessly. The fleets were immediately struck, their formations scattered, shields flashing with arcs of electricity.

Ames frowned, manipulating her force fields, constantly crushing the tentacles. However, the secondary dimensional space continued to sprout new ones. Seeing this, she could only target the Traveler himself, relentlessly unleashing force fields.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Traveler didn't dodge, but simply floated in place, his hands, marked with purple brands, waving constantly. Purple-green waves of energy surged through the space, following the movements of his hands, seemingly inexhaustible. Under his control, they easily extinguished the force fields Ames kept sending at him.

"I once lost to Oulu and witnessed his terrifying abilities, which spurred me to seek the path of secondary dimensions." Purple and green veins spread across the Traveler's face. His condition was constantly improving, his spirits high, and he laughed maniacally. "Finally, I have found a new power! Let me introduce you, this secondary dimension is called the Evil Energy Aggregate. It is my wife! Within its body, I can draw endless energy! Call out Black Star! You are no match for me!"

"You haven't defeated me yet."

Ames' eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of gravity flashing across them.

The Traveler glanced around, seeing countless fleets rising from Black Star Palace, deploying more spatial stabilization anchors in the surrounding area.

Seeing this, he was unconcerned, and smiled coldly.

Having created such a commotion, Black Star would definitely not sit idly by. His initial goal had been achieved, and it was just a matter of time before Black Star came.

But he needed to add more fuel to the fire, to continue applying pressure to Black Star.

With this in mind, the Traveler looked at Ames and licked his lips.

"Then I'll chew you into pieces first."

...

Emerald Star Cluster, the front-line stronghold battlefield of the Black Star Army.

The appearance of the Federation of Light attracted everyone's attention, and their movements all stopped, their expressions varied.

Those who appeared were the six people led by Seraron, while the "Warden" Rama, who provided remote assistance, was not present.

"One, two... six Super-A grades."

Hela's heart sank, and the excitement of connecting to the Boundless Life rapidly dissipated.

If these people were all here to take her life, she felt that she had no chance of survival.

Even with the connection to Aurora's life energy, Aurora's stamina was limited, and it would eventually run out. So many Super-A grades working together were enough to kill her countless times.

In her view, even if her own recovery ability was amazing, facing this level of crushing power, it was only a matter of time before she died in battle. Moreover, a strong recovery ability did not mean she couldn't be controlled or captured by the enemy.

"Sister..." Aurora's anxious call came through telepathy.

Hela felt the life energy constantly pouring into her body, and her sharp eyebrows gradually softened. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Han Xiao's Sovereign Avatar in the high sky.

When she was besieged just now, she analyzed the situation and felt that the only way to save herself was to successfully connect with Aurora. So in the battle, she distracted herself to cooperate with Aurora, repeatedly trying to establish a link.

Whether it was a potential burst at the critical moment of life and death, or some unknown reason, the secondary dimension that acted as an obstacle had undergone some changes, and gradually stopped absorbing life energy midway. Once this obstacle was removed, the link between the two was smoothly established, and Aurora could finally share energy with Hela through their soul and bloodline connections.

While everyone was watching, the Federation of Light's fleet took action.

A large number of drones and mechanical units were dispatched to attack the defense fleet of the planet's stronghold. Other spaceships quickly changed their formation, and engineering ships came to the edge of the formation, releasing sections of arc-shaped mechanical parts, piecing them together, and starting to assemble a High-Dimensional Apocalypse Transporter, which also needed to encircle the fleet horizontally and vertically.

The six Super-A grades from the Federation of Light who were present quickly approached the battlefield where Hela and the others were. Seraron crossed his four arms, looked down at Hela and Sagman and the others, and said coldly: "It seems that we have arrived just in time."

Kersuye's avatar slowly flew over, "The Federation of Light has also intervened."

"Hmph, you Voidlings are really useless, you haven't killed Hela yet." Seraron said lightly.

"Since the Federation of Light has come, presumably the goal is the same as ours, why not join forces to kill Hela?" Sagman said in a deep voice, "She has just exposed a recovery ability similar to Black Star's. Only by joining forces can we have a greater chance of killing her."

Hedyth's eyes rolled, and he suddenly spoke first, saying: "Okay, since everyone's goals are the same, then let's form an alliance."

Seraron paused, thought for a while, and did not explain their real goal.

There were also many Voidlings, and it was not yet suitable to reveal his hand. It was best to join forces first.

Hearing this, Sagman and the other five were immediately overjoyed, but Hela's heart sank to the bottom.

...It seems that today is the day I die.

At this moment, Han Xiao's Sovereign Avatar landed next to her, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, took out a compression orb of a new Red Serpent · First Generation armor, and instantly unfolded it, helping Hela replace her armor.

Hela turned her head to look at him, hesitated for a moment, and said softly in the communication channel:

"Black Star, if I die today, please take care of my sister in the future."

"You won't die today." Han Xiao shook his head.

"There's no need to comfort me, there are more than a dozen Super-A grades here... This scene is even more terrifying than what you faced back then, even if you were here in person, you wouldn't be able to save me... Don't come here, your main body, leave, don't save me, you'll be in danger too."

"We'll know only after trying." Han Xiao said noncommittally.

Hela shook her head, paused, and said in a low voice: "I owe you too much. You've been taking care of me for decades... I'm really grateful to you."

Han Xiao glanced sideways, "Why are you suddenly making a will? This isn't like you."

"Heh, don't worry, I won't sit still and wait for death, even if I die, I will cause the greatest damage to the enemy... I have been striving to catch up to your figure, and before I die, I finally have the qualifications to stand by your side and fight alongside you. I am already very satisfied."

Hela subconsciously stretched out her hand, stopped halfway, hesitated for a moment, changed her action to pat Han Xiao's Sovereign Avatar on the shoulder, and sighed softly.

In the next second, her face was once again as cold as ice, her energy suddenly erupted, and alone, she launched a fearless charge towards the dozen or so Super-A grades in front of her!

She only regretted that the one next to her at this time was not Han Xiao's main body.

However, before I die in battle, I should be able to see you one last time...

"Courting death."

Sagman snorted coldly, and led his companions to fight with Hela again.

In the mid-air, Seraron was about to lead his companions to join the battle, when he suddenly felt a sense of vigilance.

Rumble Rumble Rumble—

An unparalleled mental force swept over, and the Federation of Light and others were immediately startled. They hurriedly used their means to defend themselves, but were still blasted away. The mental force also contained a powerful mental attack, and many people shook, their heads aching.

This change suddenly shocked everyone. Sagman and the other five quickly stopped and looked up in surprise. The attacker was their leader, Kersuye's avatar.

Hadn't they become temporary allies? Why did Kersuye attack the people from the Federation of Light?

Hela also paused in her movements, feeling puzzled.

It's strange, why did the enemy suddenly have infighting?

Seraron shook his head, got rid of the slight dizziness, glared at Kersuye's avatar not far away, and shouted:

"What do you mean?!"

Kersuye put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "The Federation of Light's goal is not just to kill Hela, you want to capture her alive and use her as a bargaining chip to force Black Star to do something for you."

Seraron's eyes changed. Kersuye was so sure that he must have received intelligence. There was no point in pretending anymore. He simply stopped concealing his intentions and said coldly, "Where did you get your information?"

"Based on your consistent behavior, I can guess." Kersuye said calmly: "You intervened in the middle of the battle, and you also brought a High-Dimensional Apocalypse Transporter. Rather than killing people, it's more like kidnapping... The All-God's Scepter is still in your hands, if I'm not mistaken, you want to use Hela as a trade to get Black Star to remove the seal on the All-God's Scepter for you."

Speaking of this, the mental power on Kersuye suddenly soared, as if he was angry.

"If it were anything else, it would be fine, but the All-God's Scepter is the Voidling's treasure, and its priority is above Hela's life and death. You Federation of Light are still不死心, even if I give up the mission today, I will stop you from kidnapping Hela—no matter what, the All-God's Scepter must never be used by the Federation of Light!"

Feeling Kersuye's soaring momentum, Han Xiao immediately looked at him with interest.

Damn, what an actor, you've even made it believable!

In this way, even if his behavior at this time is reported to the Voidling's higher-ups, the Voidlings will only praise Kersuye for doing a good job.

He suddenly had a thought, wait a minute, maybe this isn't acting, maybe it's his true feelings...

Amazing, the highest level of acting is when you even believe yourself!

If the Academy Award is not awarded to you, they will be ignorant!

(By the way, I recommend the book "Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms". It's a very famous old book. When I read it before, it only had three or four million words, but now it has exceeded ten million. It's also a poisonous weed that gave me a sip of milk, mutual milk to show respect ˘͈ᵕ˘͈❀)
