Chapter 1551 The Covenant Organization

Headquarters of the Covenant Organization.

Han Xiao teleported in. Amidst the unsurprised gazes of the crowd, he skillfully passed through the complex corridors and arrived at the confinement room of the Child of Destiny.

The Child of Destiny, soaked in the solution, woke up and joyfully approached. It reached out and pressed its hand against the inner wall of the container. Han Xiao smiled and placed his palm against the container as well.

At this moment, a researcher walked over and curiously asked, "Your Excellency Black Star, what are your instructions this time?"

"Release the Child of Destiny," Han Xiao said with a nod.

The researcher was stunned and asked uncertainly, "You're not joking, are you? If we let it go, it will be difficult to catch it again in the future…"

"Let it go," Han Xiao shook his head.

"Uh… although you are also a leader of the Covenant, it is best to have Your Excellency Beige personally issue the order…"

"It's okay, I've already spoken to him."

Han Xiao showed Beige's message and patted the researcher's shoulder.

"…Then I understand."

The researcher was puzzled, but still did as he was told, terminating the operation of the information stabilization device, putting away the storage container, and removing all restrictions on the Child of Destiny.

The Child of Destiny was finally exposed to the outside world, but did not immediately enter the high-dimensional information state to escape. Instead, it floated beside Han Xiao, curiously and suspiciously turning around, seemingly surprised why it was released.

"You have helped me a lot. I believe freedom is a good reward." Han Xiao smiled, raised his palm, and showed the Child of Destiny imprint on the back of his hand. "Also, we already have a connection. I hope you can help me with one last favor…"

With a slight entanglement of mental consciousness, the Child of Destiny understood Han Xiao's meaning, nodded gently, its body slowly fading, entering the high-dimensional information state, and disappearing without a trace.

"Will this really not be a problem? If we don't control the Child of Destiny, if it causes information state disturbances again, many more sub-bodies will be born…" the researcher couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, that's exactly what I hope for."

Han Xiao waved his hand.

He had formed an imprint connection with the Child of Destiny, and his consciousness could connect and communicate at any time. He hoped to rely on the information connection between the Child of Destiny and its many sub-bodies to form a large net and create new information anchors.

In addition, he suspected that the Child of Destiny's composition was not simple. Since entering the Dark Side Universe, he seemed to be indirectly entangled with the Child of Destiny from time to time… He had a feeling that perhaps the Child of Destiny was not a simple primitive esper body.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Child of Destiny's unique ability mechanism may have some special connection with the Dark Side Universe's collective consciousness, or it may even be one of the unconscious incarnations of the Dark Side Universe's collective consciousness."

Han Xiao thought secretly, donned the Emperor's Suit, turned around and disappeared without a trace.

…

One day later, the main planet of the Beyond Grade A Association, a high-level conference room.

Sitting in the room were more than a dozen Beyond Grade As in different positions. Aurora sat in the main seat, maintaining her mature demeanor. Her long hair was tied up, and her slightly rounded, delicate face tried her best to maintain a serious expression. Her whole person exuded an aura of competence.

"…I have read the recent reports, and I found that your work results have not reached the expected goals of the previous quarter. Although the Beyond Grade A Association's position is stable now, we are only a force established a few years ago. Now is not the time to be lazy. I hope everyone will take a more serious attitude towards the positions in your hands…"

Aurora said with a straight face, her tone solemn, criticizing the dozen or so people present.

This meeting had been going on for some time. She had taken the initiative to convene this small meeting in order to spur some high-level officials, lest everyone become too lax.

Black Star had not been in charge of matters recently, and Aurora had been acting as the number one leader for a long time. Now she had also established some prestige. The dozen or so people present also gave her face, silently accepting the criticism without being cheeky.

After speaking for a while, Aurora stopped and softened her tone, saying, "Alright, that's all for today. I hope everyone will supervise your respective departments and convey my meaning. Meeting adjourned."

Everyone nodded, stood up, and left the room, scattering in all directions.

Only then did Aurora relax her body, no longer maintaining her shrewd and capable posture, and muttered complaints about Han Xiao being a hands-off shopkeeper. She turned her head and left through another door.

After everyone had left, Han Xiao's virtual figure appeared in the room, looking in the direction where Aurora had left, revealing a gratified smile.

Although Aurora liked to play cute in front of him, in reality, the two were about the same age. Han Xiao was very happy to see Aurora taking charge on her own. Now she had some of the aura of a superior and no longer needed the wings of others to shield her from the wind and rain.

"She's not the little girl who needed to be sheltered anymore…"

Han Xiao shook his head and smiled, took a step, and wandered around.

A faint singing voice suddenly came, and Han Xiao's heart stirred. He followed the sound and came to the sky platform on the top floor.

He saw Fording holding hands with Morning Star, the two dating here, deeply in love.

The Soul Transfer Device had already separated the souls of the two, but the experience of coexisting in one body made them understand each other's personalities even after they were separated. With just a look or an action, they could guess what the other was thinking. There was no wall of the heart that could not be understood, only the tacit understanding of soulmates.

Han Xiao still remembered the origin of Fording and Morning Star's coexistence, which was like a fateful encounter that eventually became the puzzle pieces of each other's lives.

He had been smooth sailing in recent years, also due to Fording's good luck. There was a small part of his contribution on the military medal.

"Tsk, the winner in life with a wife sent from heaven…"

Han Xiao glanced from a distance, did not disturb the two, and quietly left the platform.

He couldn't help but think of Hela. Speaking of which, his encounter with Hela was also like fate. On the first day he came to the Dark Side Universe, he became connected with Hela. At first, they were enemies, but he never expected that they would support each other and walk side by side to this day.

Han Xiao's heart moved, and he had already arrived at Hela's residence. She directly built the house next to the advanced training room, and even though it was peaceful now, she had never relaxed her own training.

At this time, Hela had just finished a round of training. She did not continue to soak in the training room, but returned to the room. A strangely shaped skeleton beast pounced over like a happy dog, rubbing against her legs, like a dog and a cat.

Hela's always indifferent face actually showed a hint of loving smile. She bent down and picked up the skeleton beast, vigorously stroking its smooth, white bones. The little beast stretched lazily in her arms comfortably.

Han Xiao tilted his head, a little surprised. It was the first time he had discovered that Hela had raised a pet.

Although the pet looked a bit terrifying to him, in Hela's eyes, who controlled the power of death, this skeleton beast was probably quite cute. There was a huge difference in aesthetics.

Watching Hela leisurely teasing her pet, Han Xiao's mood was a little subtle.

"Raising a pet is something that doesn't seem like she would do…"

In his eyes, Hela's personality was always strong, cold, and pursued greater power, and she would not waste her energy on unnecessary things, making people keep their distance. Now she had a hobby… Well, but having a hobby makes her seem like a normal person.

"This is also good. She finally found some fun in life…"

Han Xiao silently turned and left.

He strolled around in the Beyond Grade A Association, peeking at the lives of the various Beyond Grade As, and saw the scene of the Beyond Grade As no longer needing to fight with others, wholeheartedly engaging in their careers, and jointly contributing to the Beyond Grade A Association. It seemed that most people had found a long-lost peace and tranquility.

Soon, Han Xiao came to the commercial department, where the department's atmosphere was extremely positive. In the office, groups of executives were queuing up to receive Sorokin's instructions.

He approached to take a look, and saw Sorokin emitting a faint light, in a state of heroic spirit revival, his face radiant, and the whole person full of vigor, arranging commercial plans in an orderly manner.

Under Sorokin's leadership, the economic development of the Beyond Grade A Association had been booming in recent years, with astonishing results. Sorokin seemed to have ushered in the second spring of his career, found a stage to display his strengths, and was enjoying it.

Before long, Han Xiao had walked through all the departments and finally came to the Gods' Square, where statues of all the Beyond Grade As were erected.

He scanned the statues of each person, and the twists and turns experienced with the Beyond Grade A group over the decades floated in his mind. With the efforts of himself and some peak Beyond Grade As, the Beyond Grade A group had changed from a scattered mess to a close-knit community of interests. The establishment of the Beyond Grade A Association had given everyone a sustenance and witnessed their efforts over the decades.

Although there were some grudges with each other, in the end, the hundreds of statues in front of him represented the various Beyond Grade As who had fought side by side with him for decades and could be called comrades who had carried guns together.

"We can be considered partners, right…"

Han Xiao closed his eyes slightly, and felt a new information anchor being generated in the dark, so he turned and left.

At the same time, all the Beyond Grade As in the Beyond Grade A Association suddenly felt something in their hearts, and they all looked up in the direction where Han Xiao disappeared.

…

Half a day later, the Mechanical Race's territory welcomed Han Xiao, this uninvited guest.

The Mechanical Race was no stranger to Han Xiao, this big shot. They had been on good and bad terms before, and now they expressed their welcome.

A young Mechanical Race mechanic came out to greet him and took Han Xiao to the reception room.

"Your Excellency Black Star, what is your intention in coming here?"

As soon as he sat down, the young mechanic asked curiously.

"I want to see Mannison this time and catch up with him."

Han Xiao smiled slightly.

Among the many Beyond Grade A comrades, Mannison was the most special to him.

The two had been loving and killing each other for decades, and he had "inherited" many of the other's abilities, so in Han Xiao's heart, Mannison had a different status, equivalent to half a "teacher". He felt that Mannison might bring a new information anchor, so he came to visit.

However, the young mechanic shook his head and refused his request.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Black Star, His Excellency Mannison is going to conduct long-term closed-door research and will not see any visitors."

"Not even me?"

"The teacher has ordered, especially you…" the young mechanic answered cautiously.

"Hey, this guy really doesn't hide it at all. I thought our relationship had eased a lot."

Han Xiao was helpless, and then curiously looked at the young man in front of him and asked:

"Are you Mannison's student? What's your name?"

"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the teacher's newly accepted student from two years ago. My name is Marigo Morgan, and I am temporarily in charge of the Mechanical Race's affairs. I have met Your Excellency Black Star." The person nodded politely.

"He actually took in a new student and didn't notify me." Han Xiao marveled.

Seeing that Mannison was unwilling to catch up, Han Xiao felt sorry, but he didn't dwell on it. He didn't linger here and expressed his intention to leave.

Arriving at the spaceport platform, Han Xiao was about to board the ship and leave, but suddenly his heart stirred and he found that a new information anchor had been generated in the dark.

He turned his head to look at the depths of the Mechanical Race's territory, inexplicably smiled, then closed the hatch and started the spaceship to escape into the starry sky.

At the same time, in the depths of the Mechanical Race's territory.

Mannison, who was conducting closed-door research on technology, raised his head, looked at the direction where Han Xiao left from across the wall, without much expression, and lowered his head again to continue his research, just softly muttering.

"Hmph, annoying guy…"
