Chapter 189 You're Wrong

The teardrop-shaped spaceship entered the atmosphere and slowly descended, the fiery, cracked, and lava-covered surface of the planet coming into Sisko's view.

Sisko could already sense the location of the Evolution Cube, which was underground on this planet. Being so close, he could pinpoint its location.

"The coordinates have been stationary on this planet for several hours... Did he give up on the Evolution Cube and choose to flee, or is he deliberately staying here, waiting to meet me?"

Sisko secretly speculated about the unknown enemy's intentions. He thought the opponent might have set up a trap to attack his spaceship, preventing him from pursuing. As a precaution, he abandoned his plan to fly in his true form and continued to pilot the spaceship across the land, approaching the coordinates.

After flying for a while, the detection radar suddenly reacted. There were life signals hundreds of kilometers away. The long-range vision zoomed in, and he could vaguely make out hundreds of mechanical soldiers surrounding a lifeform, seemingly holding it captive.

"That seems to be Sedim?" Sisko's eyes flickered as he turned around and flew over, quickly arriving above Sedim.

The mechanical soldiers on the ground raised their cannons and fired at the spaceship overhead.

Bang, bang, bang!

An invisible telekinetic shield rose, distorting the space around it like an air wall. Uenium particle cannons exploded on it, creating blue shards of light.

Explosions rang out one after another, but the shield remained motionless.

The next moment, a pale white telekinetic shockwave appeared out of thin air, sweeping across the ground.

Swish!

The hundreds of mechanical soldiers below, without the enhancement of mechanical force, were all shattered into a pile of parts in one blow. The telekinesis deliberately avoided Sedim, leaving him standing unharmed in place.

The Esper class was a system that specialized in mental energy among the five main classes. Its strengths were mental attacks, but it also had physical attack methods. Telekinesis was an energy attack produced by using mental energy to influence matter. It even possessed a certain ability to materialize illusions, making it well-rounded in both offense and defense.

Sisko used telekinesis to crush the restraints on Sedim's body, then used the spaceship's tractor beam to pull him into the cabin.

"Cough, cough... You've finally arrived!"

Sedim weakly supported himself on the cabin door, but his face was filled with excitement and joy.

He was saved!

Super-As were reliable, and trusting Sisko was indeed the right choice!

"Who is the enemy?" Sisko didn't waste any time and directly asked the key question.

"Baa... It's Black Star!"

"Black Star? Where have I heard that name before... Oh, he seems to be from the Colton Star Cluster, and is said to be active in the Secret War. I heard he provoked the Overlord."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's the Super-A seed, the guy who claims to be invincible among the Calamity Grades."

Invincible among the Calamity Grades? So this reputation gave him the confidence to challenge a Super-A?

Sisko shook his head. The Colton Star Cluster was relatively far from the territory of the Star瞳 Divine Race, so he had only heard of Han Xiao and hadn't paid much attention to him. To him, a Calamity Grade, no matter how famous, was just a small character.

He wasn't interested in the Secret War. He'd rather spend his time worrying about the Star瞳 Divine Race's reproduction problems.

"Lord Sisko, Black Star left me here a few hours ago. He should still be on this planet. You just exposed your position by taking out those mechanical soldiers. It's best to capture Black Star immediately, lest he escape."

Sedim couldn't wait to make the suggestion, eager to see Black Star suffer.

He couldn't forget the humiliation of being cuckolded and had been thinking about taking back his troops. Sisko was his current backer, and in his opinion, a Calamity Grade would never be a match for a Super-A. No matter how Black Star struggled, he would eventually be beaten down by Sisko.

'I'm not just going to take back my mechanical army, I'm going to seize your mechanical legion as well!' Sedim gritted his teeth, vowing in his heart.

"Hmm, you're right. We should act quickly." Sisko deeply agreed.

With perception and positioning, he wasn't worried about Black Star escaping. Instead, he was afraid that Black Star, after realizing he had nowhere to run, would desperately destroy the portable device of the Evolution Cube, releasing the massive body of the Evolution Cube here. If that happened, he would need to mobilize the manpower and resources of the Star瞳 Divine Race to transport the Evolution Cube back, and he hated such troublesome complications.

Just as he was about to pilot the spaceship over, the location of the Evolution Cube suddenly moved in his perception, shooting toward him at high speed. Soon, at the edge of his vision, a black dot rapidly expanded.

Whoosh!

The rapidly approaching black shadow flew close to the ground, stirring up a howling wind. The lava flowing on the surface seemed to be shaken by the shockwave, splashing up like waves of miniature lava tsunamis.

The next moment, the black shadow stopped in mid-air not far away, facing Sisko's spaceship from a distance.

"That's Black Star!" Sedim pointed out the porthole and shouted urgently.

"He actually came to us on his own..."

Sisko was a little surprised and roughly understood the other party's intentions, which were nothing more than to negotiate with him.

His gaze was fixed on the small cube on Han Xiao's neck. Through positioning, he knew that it was the miniaturized portable Evolution Cube.

Buzz!

Before Han Xiao could speak, Sisko suddenly attacked, his surging mental energy violently erupting, directly targeting Han Xiao from the mental level.

He simply couldn't be bothered to waste words with Han Xiao. The other party was just using the Evolution Cube as a bargaining chip, but what qualifications did a Calamity Grade have to negotiate with him?

Sisko didn't want to let others take the initiative. He didn't say a single word and directly took preemptive action—anything you have to say can wait until I get the Evolution Cube back!

Before Han Xiao could speak, the mental attack came violently. Fortunately, he had been prepared for it and directly used the new talent [Echoes of the Void Spirit] from the Apostle of Chaos, drawing a thick stream of void divine power from the void dimension to create a mental barrier, offsetting nearly half of the mental damage.

The remaining mental energy drove straight in, invading his brain. His brain ached as if countless steel drills were being inserted into it. Even with the specializations [Supreme Piety], [Advanced Mental Resilience], and [Mental Lock] doubling his mental resistance, this attack still knocked out more than 80,000 of his HP. The battle information indicated that Sisko had used skills and dealt additional damage.

This was the true power of a Super-A attack!

However, with Han Xiao's current HP, this mental attack, which would have been enough to seriously injure or even kill an ordinary Calamity Grade, wasn't even a light injury to him and could be recovered in the blink of an eye.

"This guy attacks without a word, truly decisive," Han Xiao's expression hardened.

However, this was exactly what he wanted. Only by first demonstrating his strength to the other party could he have the qualifications for equal dialogue.

His thoughts raced, and Han Xiao's actions weren't slow either. Without saying a word, he directly cast a Luck Curse on Sisko, then advanced instead of retreating, activating Apostle Transformation and Void Blessing. His stats soared, and a torrent of surging uenium energy erupted, like the Milky Way cascading down, slamming into Sisko's spaceship.

Boom!

The unleashed uenium energy heavily collided with the telekinetic barrier, like a waterfall crashing on a reef. Blue shards of light splashed everywhere, and the air vibrated continuously, emitting rumbling echoes.

"This power... it's not right?"

Sisko couldn't help but be surprised and doubtful. His mind felt pressure, which was completely different from the expected result of easily blocking this attack.

Although it was only a little bit of pressure, he had been a Super-A for so many years, and this was the first time a Calamity Grade Esper had put pressure on him.

Crack—

The next moment, Han Xiao maintained the energy outpouring, summoning the Mechanical Army. The sky flashed with light as the Army Boxes warped in, releasing an overwhelming Mechanical Army. The black tide blotted out the sky, occupying every inch of space.

Not only Han Xiao's own Mechanical Army, but also Sedim's Mechanical Troops were among them, with a scale of over ten million.

Buzz—

Crackling mechanical force surged out of Han Xiao's body, quickly connecting every mechanical soldier, like an extremely large lightning web. At this moment, it was as if the actions of all the mechanical soldiers were synchronized.

Han Xiao unleashed his full power, and the energy level he radiated rapidly climbed, his aura constantly expanding, as if it pierced the sky and grounded the earth.

In that instant, Sedim suddenly felt a sense of terror that came from nowhere.

Just then, Sisko in the spaceship spoke to Sedim.

"You're wrong."

Sedim came back to his senses, confused. "What's wrong?"

"You said he was a Super-A seed. You're wrong."

Sedim couldn't help but look at Sisko, but was stunned to find that Sisko's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, replaced by unprecedented seriousness.

"He's not a Super-A seed..." Sisko said in a heavy tone, "He is a Super-A!"

Like a thunderbolt exploding in his mind, Sedim's brain went blank. He was stunned, his eyes slowly widening, his expression gradually changing from disbelief to horror.

Black Star... is a Super-A?

Did this mean that a fifth Super-A had appeared in the Shattered Star Ring?!

Sedim's face turned pale. If Han Xiao was only a Calamity Grade, he would still dare to be his enemy, but if the other party became a Super-A, he couldn't even muster the thought of revenge.

When did this happen? When I fought him two days ago, he was still just a Calamity Grade! Could it be that he deliberately hid his strength?

Maybe he was already a Super-A when he was pretending to be Barn.

Was he playing with me all along?!

Thinking of how he had shamelessly wanted to recruit a Super-A back then, Sedim immediately felt ashamed.

"If Black Star and Sisko fight, the aftermath of a Super-A battle..."

Sedim panicked. He originally thought that he would be safe once Sisko arrived, but now it seemed that he might die here?!

At this moment, the Mechanical Army surrounded Sisko's spaceship, countless muzzles aimed at him, simultaneously lighting up with the glow of energy charging.

Buzz!

Sisko's seven eyes suddenly widened, and telekinetic power poured out frantically, weaving layers of barriers, enveloping the spaceship.

"Fire!" Han Xiao slammed his palm down.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Tens of millions of particle cannons fired simultaneously, focusing their fire on the same target. The uenium light filled the sky, and the next moment, these uenium cannons condensed together, triggering a chain annihilation reaction. A deep blue-black energy ball was born at the center of Sisko's spaceship, rapidly expanding.

The Mechanical Army hurriedly retreated to avoid it. This energy ball expanded to a diameter of over a hundred kilometers before exploding!

Boom!!

The sound was like the earth shaking and the mountains moving.

A dazzling uenium blue beam shot straight into the sky, piercing through the atmosphere.

There was no dust or mushroom cloud, all annihilated by the expanding uenium energy.

This area turned into a deep pit, the land seemingly disappearing out of thin air. The explosion almost blasted through the crust, its power reaching directly to the mantle. The surface of this planet now had a bottomless hole.

Rumble—

The Earth's crust within a radius of thousands of kilometers was affected, triggering a violent earthquake. All the volcanoes erupted, and the already cracked earth produced countless deep rifts. The landmasses were torn apart by the earth's movement, and surging lava spewed out of the rifts like fiery red dragon ridges.

"How many times has this power multiplied..." Han Xiao muttered to himself, overlooking the changes on the earth.

His stats and mechanical affinity had soared, and with the amplification of [Supreme Might], his destructive power had also stepped into the realm of Super-A.

"My Mechanical Army hasn't been upgraded yet. When I go back and build stronger machinery and create a large number of Star Destroyer-class weapons, that will be the peak of my combat power."

Han Xiao made up his mind and began to look for Sisko's whereabouts.

The earth-shattering scene he had created was indeed shocking, but he was always aware of his own limitations and didn't think that this attack could pose much of a threat to a Super-A. The aftershocks were so strong, which meant that the power wasn't concentrated enough.

A flurry of activity, but only 250 damage. The information on the interface showed that most of the attack had been blocked by the Super-A telekinetic barrier.

In the middle of the explosion, there was a red, shattered sphere of light. This was Sisko's telekinetic barrier, and even his telekinetic power had been heated by the uenium explosion into a magma-like fiery red, emitting high-temperature white gas.

The Mechanical Army regrouped again. Sisko looked at this scene and glanced at Sedim, who was shivering with fear next to him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

After a moment of silence, he dispersed his telekinetic barrier, opened the hatch, and flew out, facing Han Xiao from a distance.

"Not bad power."

Sisko first looked down at the bottomless sinkhole below, then looked at Han Xiao, his emotions hidden, "Let's talk."

After a simple exchange, Sisko had already understood that the other party was an existence equal to him. He could only change his attitude and acknowledge that Han Xiao had the qualifications for equal dialogue.

Although he hadn't interacted with him before, he had to remember this person named Black Star.

Making this gesture also meant that he was prepared to negotiate with Han Xiao.

In reality, Sisko was very annoyed. He had originally thought that his opponent was just a Calamity Grade with inflated confidence, but he turned out to be a real Super-A. He had encountered the worst-case scenario with the lowest probability, and the situation had become more complicated.

Sisko wasn't afraid of Han Xiao, but as a Civilization Leader, he was unwilling to easily provoke a new Super-A enemy unless negotiations broke down.

The saying goes that new talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. The emergence of a new Super-A would change the galaxy's landscape. The Shattered Star Ring hadn't seen a Super-A for a long time, but other galaxies were different.

Sisko had a long life. Because of the Arcane Church, his eyes weren't just focused on the Shattered Star Ring. He had seen a lot and was knowledgeable, so he wasn't in a state of panic. However, seeing a new Super-A born with his own eyes was inevitably surprising, but he didn't want to show it, lest it affect the negotiations.

Seeing this, Han Xiao stopped the Mechanical Army and flew to Sisko.

The two faced each other, sizing each other up.

"State your conditions. What do you want to do with my Evolution Cube?"

Sisko took the initiative to speak. He didn't want to say flowery, polite words and went straight to the point.

Han Xiao raised an eyebrow.

This guy's personality is really straightforward. He doesn't seem easy to talk to...

But that's right. The exchange just now was just a simple spar, an exchange of offense and defense, showing each other's strength. It stopped before it really got to the point where Super-As went all out.

Sisko is willing to communicate equally, mainly because I showed the strength of a Super-A. As an old Super-A, it's impossible for him to be afraid of me after just one exchange...

Han Xiao was fully aware of his own limits. After thinking for a while, he grabbed the Evolution Cube on his neck and said in a deep voice, "Actually, we have room for cooperation."

"Speak," Sisko said expressionlessly.

Han Xiao nodded and explained the situation with the Evolution Cube's unlocking code. Then he said, "I know how to use the Evolution Cube in its portable state and can keep it in this state, making it portable and preventing it from being stolen... But if the Evolution Cube returns to your hands, you don't know the code and can only release its main body. Perhaps one day, another God Race attack will occur, causing many casualties.

"So why not let me keep the Evolution Cube, let me divert the God Race's attention, and you can borrow the cube from me at any time. This way, we can form a close alliance. You won't have to worry about the Evolution Cube being stolen, and you can continue to use it. It's a win-win situation for both of us."

Sisko listened patiently, his expression indifferent, and said faintly.

"Heh, then I'll give you a plan as well. You give me the Evolution Cube and the unlocking code, and the Star瞳 Divine Race will become your close allies. You can also borrow the Evolution Cube from me in the future, and I can even help you get rid of the Overlord. Would you agree?"

Han Xiao's eyelids twitched. "If I don't agree..."

"Then I'll help the Overlord get rid of you." Sisko interrupted Han Xiao, pressing him without hesitation, taking the initiative, and said expressionlessly, "Now, give me an answer. Will you give it or not?"
