Chapter 749 The Intent of the Other God
"Why suddenly mention the Otherworldly God?"
Han Xiao frowned. Back when he was attacked by the Otherworldly God's avatar, it was Harrowfell who fought alongside him. After seven years, Harrowfell brought up this matter again, so something must have happened.
Without a second word, Han Xiao immediately sent a message to Harrowfell, asking what he meant.
However, after waiting for a long time, Harrowfell did not reply.
Han Xiao suddenly had a bad premonition, summoned Phillip, and said in a deep voice, "Search for the keyword 'Harrowfell', and filter out any unusual entries."
Phillip buzzed and diligently searched the Internet, quickly completing the task.
"Master, buzz, a few days ago, multiple news channels of the Tera Civilization broadcast the news of Harrowfell's death."
Dead a few days ago?!
Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
"Pull it up for me to see."
Phillip heard this and played the relevant reports. After watching them, Han Xiao understood what had happened.
Just a few days ago, Harrowfell was attacked at the official mechanical academy of the Tera Civilization. He was kidnapped in broad daylight. Three Calamity Grade Supers working at the academy could not stop the kidnappers, and they left swaggeringly.
A day later, Harrowfell's body was found, and the message Harrowfell left for him was sent before his death.
The news stated that the Tera Civilization had determined the identity of one of the kidnappers through clues and announced a bounty.
Han Xiao opened the bounty information, and the portrait was of a pale man.
"Olsen, a vampire… a wanted criminal from sixty years ago…" Han Xiao muttered.
He didn't know this guy.
But combined with Harrowfell's message, the answer was very clear. This guy named Olsen was most likely a subordinate sent by the Otherworldly God.
"Why did they attack Harrowfell?" Han Xiao frowned.
In his opinion, the Otherworldly God's only interaction with them was the battle seven years ago. Could it be that the Otherworldly God was so petty that he sent his subordinates to retaliate because his avatar was schemed against?
He felt that this seemed to be the only reason that made sense.
But the Otherworldly God was a madman, and a madman's actions could not be judged by common sense.
Han Xiao didn't know if the Otherworldly God was aware of his current strength. If he only sent Calamity Grade subordinates, it would basically be sending them to him to be killed. Since even his avatar had suffered a loss in his hands, if the Otherworldly God wanted to retaliate, he couldn't rely on Calamity Grade subordinates.
With a thought, Han Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"In that case, this group of people may have a trump card similar to the DarkStar leader, capable of summoning the Otherworldly God's avatar?!"
If that was the case, then it would be a bit tricky…
Back then, he was able to banish the Otherworldly God due to the terrain advantage and Harrowfell's help, but now he didn't have such conditions.
"My strength is not what it used to be. I broke through Level 220 and completed my advancement. My HP is almost twice as much as it was seven years ago, and I have the Void Chaser's talent [Cosmic Environment Adaptation Body], which greatly improves my defense. Even if I face the Otherworldly God's avatar head-on, I won't be as passive as I was seven years ago… Well, if it's just an avatar, the Otherworldly God may not be able to threaten my life. With Aurora's potion, I'm equal to having several more lives…"
Han Xiao's brain quickly analyzed and found that the situation was not that bad, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Version 3.0 had already begun, and he had harvested enough experience from the leeks to complete a transformation in strength, greatly strengthening his ability to protect himself. If it was his strength from seven years ago, the Otherworldly God's retaliation would indeed be very threatening to him.
After carefully reading Harrowfell's death announcement again, Han Xiao sighed. He could only mourn for this old acquaintance who had fought alongside him.
At this moment, the panel suddenly popped up with a new mission.
[You have triggered a Grade A bounty mission [Harrowfell's Revenge]]
[Mission Introduction: Harrowfell is an important member of the Tera Civilization and was accidentally killed. The murderer caused an extremely bad impact. The Tera Civilization has issued a bounty. As long as you avenge Harrowfell, you can obtain a huge reward.]
[Mission Requirement: Capture alive or kill the bounty target - Olsen]
[Reward: 236 million experience, bounty of 8 million Enas, Tera Civilization Favorability +1800]
Wow, for the players of 3.0, the difficulty of this mission is already beyond the scope, no wonder the reward is so generous… Han Xiao clicked his tongue secretly.
The players of Version 3.0 basically did not have the ability to complete this mission, this was at least the difficulty of a mission two or three versions later.
However, bounty-type missions themselves are not limited by version. Many powerhouses have bounties from civilizations or the black market. Even the current players can receive Calamity Grade or even Super A Grade bounty missions, but it is impossible to complete them.
For example, Han Xiao himself, many Broken Star Ring forces secretly offered bounties for him on the black market, with a total bounty of around 92 million Enas. This was a sky-high bounty that even super star pirates could not match, but most bounty hunters were aware of their own limitations and no one would accept such a suicide mission.
"The requirement is to help Harrowfell take revenge…"
Han Xiao pondered, "There's no need to waste energy tracking down the wanted criminal. This is the Tera Civilization's job. A Star Cluster level civilization has more resources to track down the murderer. For me to find them myself would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. If the Otherworldly God's subordinates want to retaliate, they will probably take the initiative to find me. I just need to wait for them."
After thinking for a while, Han Xiao had a plan. He was not going to disrupt his rhythm of farming specializations because of this mission.
If the Otherworldly God's subordinates didn't come, then so be it. If they really came to deal with him, he wouldn't mind taking down the mission target in passing—on this point, he was still relatively confident. After all, the outside world didn't know that his strength had once again achieved a breakthrough, so it could be said that the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark.
Based on his experience from the battle seven years ago, his current combat power could barely withstand the pressure of the Otherworldly God's avatar.
Of course, confidence was confidence, but Great Technician Han's vigilance would not be reduced because of this.
"I still have to be careful, so as not to capsize in the gutter…"
…
At the same time, somewhere in the Broken Star Ring.
Three light arc spaceships were slowly traveling in an asteroid belt in stealth mode. There were traces of battle on the ships, and nanobots were repairing the outer armor.
Inside the main ship, Aikelin, Olsen, and others were checking the data records of a wormhole detector. This was the instrument they obtained from Harrowfell, and it contained wormhole research data from over the years, one set of which was the detection data of the Otherworldly God's avatar falling into the wormhole seven years ago.
"Hmm… the date matches. Lord Otherworldly God wants this set of data." Olsen grinned, revealing a few fangs. "The memories I read were indeed correct."
Olsen's ability was the rare "Species Enhancement," which enhanced his racial talent as a vampire. He had the ability to read the target's memories by sucking blood. The reason this group kidnapped Harrowfell was not to torture him, but to allow Olsen to suck his blood to obtain the information they wanted. The cause of Harrowfell's death was being sucked dry alive.
Aikelin coldly said, "But because of your stupidity, the Tera Civilization discovered your identity. Now an entire Star Cluster level civilization is going to hunt us down. After a while, they might be able to find out that we are members of the Fallen Ark. If it weren't for the fact that you are still useful, I would really want to kill you, you waste."
Olsen didn't care. He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said lazily, "So what? The Tera Civilization can't catch up to our spaceship anyway, and this is the Broken Star Ring, not the Central Star Sea ruled by the three great cosmic civilizations. Is it necessary to be so cautious? It's better to have some fun. Even if the forces in this remote star field know our identity, what can they do? Do they have the ability to go to the Central Star Sea to deal with the Fallen Ark?
Besides, even if they really dare to go, the result will be that they will be crushed to death by Lord Otherworldly God."
Aikelin snorted coldly, "If something goes wrong with the operation, I will make you pay the price."
"Instead of worrying about such a trivial matter, it's better to send the data back first." Olsen spread his hands and chuckled.
Hearing this, Aikelin no longer worried about their tracks being exposed. Through the cross-star field ultra-long-range定向 quantum communication device, he sent the wormhole data back to the Fallen Ark.
In this way, the first mission assigned by Lord Otherworldly God was completed.
Aikelin was quite satisfied with his efficiency. They had planned for more than half a month and successfully kidnapped Harrowfell, immediately obtaining the data. The operation was very smooth.
Now that the data was in hand, there was no need to go and look for Black Star.
This team had three Otherworldly God avatars, and each was given a different ability. Aikelin didn't want to waste any of them on Black Star. These were all important trump cards that the Otherworldly God gave them to steal the Evolution Cube.
Stealing the Evolution Cube from Sisko was the most important mission of this trip. Compared to this, kidnapping Harrowfell was nothing, almost effortless.
"The data has been sent back. It's time to get down to business. Sisko is at least a Super A Grade. We need a detailed plan and wait for the right time to strike." Aikelin clapped his hands and said in a deep voice.
The three spaceships turned and headed to the star system where Sisko was located.
…
In the desolate universe belt outside the Central Star Sea, the main force of the Fallen Ark was resting in a secret base.
In the main ship, a cadre woke up the sleeping Otherworldly God.
"Lord Otherworldly God, the team we sent to the Broken Star Ring has sent back a message. They have obtained the data you wanted."
Hearing this, the Otherworldly God woke up. The black vortex under his hood turned into a face, revealing a strange smile, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Very good… very good. Let the research team analyze this set of wormhole data and find me the place that was connected to the other end of the wormhole at that time. I want to know the coordinates of that area in the universe."
"Understood."
"Hmm… let me think, that's right, I asked them to bring back the Evolution Cube. Did they get it?"
"They haven't sent back any news about this. They should still be in action."
The Otherworldly God nodded slowly and muttered to himself: "Finally, I have discovered the whereabouts of the Evolution Cube. The Void Clan has been searching for so long, they won't know that the residual records of the Evolver civilization have always been in my hands. I am the heir of the Evolution Cube. It can help me complete a higher level of transformation. Sisko is not qualified to possess such a treasure…"
