"Are these people just passing by, or are they here for us? Who are these people? "
Han Xiao looked at this rapidly approaching fleet. The other party's spaceship did not have any organization symbol, so he did not know what organization they belonged to. He could not help but be confused.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, Han Xiao also prepared for battle. Mechanical Force surged in his body.
However, just as he was about to make a move, the space wall not far away cracked open again. Clottey finally arrived.
And at the next moment, the fleet came to a halt midway, motionless.
"What's with this fleet?"
Han Xiao glanced at this fleet in confusion. This time, Clottey flew over, so he could only turn around and greet him.
"Your Excellency Dark Emperor."
"Hmm, Black Star." Clottey nodded slightly, looked at the dying Traveler beside Ames, and asked, "How did you meet him?"
"It was just a coincidence …"
Han Xiao briefly explained the process.
After Clotti heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly on his expressionless face. He said in a low voice, "This is really bad luck."
After destroying Evil Convergence and losing the clues to find Traveler, he was still thinking about how to continue tracking him, but he did not expect Traveler to be so unlucky, meeting Black Star in the blink of an eye.
He was not curious about why Han Xiao was here. Clottey usually did not care about the private affairs of other Beyond Grade As.
"I heard that your mission is to kill him?" Han Xiao asked.
Clottey nodded. "Traveler is only one of the targets. The Ruler's order is to kill him if he is not captured alive. If he is captured, he will hold a public trial and execute these Beyond Grade As, live broadcast to the entire universe … Oh, and also interrogate who his employer is."
"You have other targets?"
Clottey glanced at him and said, "Just a few neutral Beyond Grade As who like to be mercenaries."
"Are they related to the rescue of Hella?" Han Xiao was curious.
"The Empire has the final say." Clottey's tone was indifferent and nonchalant.
Han Xiao was speechless. Those neutral Beyond Grade As who were targeted were probably innocent in this matter, but they were unlucky enough to be used as tools by the dynasty to establish dominance.
As expected of a loyal follower of the dynasty, the Dark Emperor did not care about this at all. The harsh living environment of some neutral Beyond Grade As was evident.
Han Xiao then thought of the Supercluster Civilization and realized that the few targets chosen by the dynasty were probably those who were hired by the Supercluster Alliance. Using the rescue of Hella as an excuse, they wanted to make an example of the Supercluster Alliance and cut off the wings of the Supercluster Alliance.
Perhaps they could also copy the Tragedy of the Pinnacles and use the conflict as an excuse to reduce the number of Beyond Grade As.
Han Xiao shook his head and changed the topic. "I just interrogated him and got the identity of the mastermind from him."
"Who is it?"
The two of them did not block Traveler's communication. Hearing this, Traveler's expression changed, and he nervously stared at Han Xiao, afraid that he would reveal the existence of the Star Arc Civilization.
However, he saw Han Xiao give him a look.
Traveler immediately understood and hurriedly interrupted.
"Sorokin! He's the one who hired me to attack Black Star Palace and divert Black Star's attention, indirectly providing help to Radiance and Ethereal! "
"It's him? Isn't he a pure businessman?" Clottey frowned and was a little surprised. He could not help but look at Han Xiao. "Do you think he can be trusted?"
"I think he can be trusted. Traveler is just a neutral mercenary. He won't attack me for no reason."
Han Xiao smiled.
Sorokin was indeed related, but Han Xiao told Traveler to hide the identity of the Star Arc Civilization and put all the blame on Sorokin. This way, the dynasty's hatred would not be divided but would all be attracted by Sorokin.
Anyway, Sorokin was indeed not clean, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find evidence.
Although Han Technician was about to become a shareholder of the Limitless Financial Group, he would not really help Sorokin develop for the sake of dividends. Furthermore, he had just learned that the other party was secretly plotting against him.
It was a good opportunity to make use of the Red Empire to trick Sorokin and make the upper echelons wary of this guy.
"… I'll tell the Ruler, but I still need to bring Traveler back for interrogation," Clottey said.
Han Xiao nodded, turned around, patted Ames's thigh, and told her to raise her leg. He then took out the Spacetime Amber and sealed the powerless Traveler.
While doing this, Han Xiao pointed at the unfamiliar fleet not far away that was pretending to be air.
"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask earlier. Are they your troops?"
Hearing this, Clottey was stunned. "I thought they were your people."
As soon as he arrived, he realized that this fleet was the same fleet that he had met not long ago. When he saw Han Xiao with the fleet, he thought that they were together and thought that he had misunderstood, so he did not pay much attention to it.
From Han Xiao's point of view, he had only given the coordinates to the Dark Emperor, and this fleet arrived at the same time as the Dark Emperor. Therefore, he mistakenly thought that this fleet was the subordinate of the Dark Emperor.
Both of them thought that this fleet was related to the other party. Now that it was clear, they realized that it was a third party.
Realizing this, Clottey opened the public channel and yelled, "Who are you people? Why are you following me?"
From his point of view, since he had met them twice, the only possibility was that they were following him.
At this moment, in the command room of the fleet, Law and Fay were going crazy.
Originally, they had locked onto Black Star and were ready to take action. However, the two of them did not expect that the first peak Beyond Grade A marked on the map would move at the critical moment and also come to this secondary dimension.
The sudden situation disrupted their plan, and the two of them hurriedly stopped the fleet, not daring to fire rashly.
Seeing that Black Star was in the same group as another peak Beyond Grade A, the two of them felt troubled. If they took action in such a situation, the difficulty would increase exponentially, and there would be many more variables.
They only wanted to wait until Han Xiao was alone before taking action. At this moment, they only wanted to quickly escape from this place and find another opportunity.
Hearing Clottey's question, Law had no choice but to use the excuse he had used when they first met.
"Your Excellency Beyond Grade A, I did not expect to meet you again. We only detected special energy fluctuations here, so we rushed over to explore. We did not expect to see you again. We will leave now."
Then, Law wanted the fleet to turn around and leave. However, this time, Clottey stopped them, his tone cold.
"Once is fine, but now it's the second time, and it's still the same excuse. Do you think I'll believe it?"
Clottey did not believe in such a coincidence. He had originally suspected the origin of this fleet, but he did not want to complicate things because he was carrying out a mission. Now that he had dealt with Traveler, he was not going to let go of this mysterious fleet that had bumped into him.
"But this is really just a coincidence. We're just a civilian exploration team …" Law could only brace himself and continue to pretend.
"That's easy to solve. Stop the ship and let us go up to search. If there's really no problem, I'll let you go," Clottey said with a deep voice.
Hearing this, Law and Fay looked at each other and communicated telepathically.
"What do we do now? They won't let us go so easily. Do we really have to let them board our ship?"
"You know that's impossible."
"Then, it seems like we can only force them …"
The two of them were in a terrible mood and did not want to take action under such circumstances.
But now that the cat was out of the bag, they could not just let it go and let the other party board their ship.
Law gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.
"Fire!"
…
After Clottey requested to board the ship for inspection, the mysterious fleet suddenly stopped moving and did not respond.
After waiting for a few seconds, Clottey saw that the other party was pretending to be dead and could not help but increase his tone.
"This is your ultimatum. If you don't reply in ten seconds, I'll destroy you!"
On the side, Han Xiao was watching Clottey communicate with the mysterious fleet. He thought that the other party was here for the Dark Emperor, so he was watching the show from the side.
At this time, when he heard Clottey's ultimatum, Han Xiao thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to do anything. I can Virtual Invade and control those spaceships, check their database, and see their origin."
Clottey heard this, pondered for two seconds, then nodded.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you …"
Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred!
The spaceships suddenly opened fire, and sharp cone-shaped solid warheads were launched, dragging long trails of flames as they shot toward them.
"Solid bullets?"
Although the conventional weapons now were basically dark energy cannons and psionic cannons, Han Xiao would not underestimate solid warheads. Since the other party had the ability to travel through secondary dimensions, the ammunition loaded in the solid warheads would definitely not be simple.
Seeing this, Ames raised her hand and waved. A force field spread out and froze all the warheads in mid-air, unable to move an inch.
Seeing that the other party had made a move, Han Xiao did not hesitate. He activated Virtual Invasion and attacked the database of these spaceships.
However, the moment Han Xiao's data probe penetrated the spaceship's artificial intelligence, an invisible force flowed through the quantum network and into his mind.
Boom!
A strong shock exploded in his consciousness, and the memory palace suddenly collapsed. Countless pieces of paper representing memories turned into tornadoes and spun rapidly.
All of this was reflected in Han Xiao's first-person perspective. Countless memory fragments flashed uncontrollably in his mind, as if they had all turned into gibberish, making it difficult for him to maintain normal thinking.
At the same time, a notification popped up on the interface.
You have been invaded by [Memory Formatting Virus — Quantum Network Type].
Your Class has been detected to be [Virtual Mechanic].
[Memory Formatting Virus — Quantum Network Type] has dealt 200% additional damage to you.
"This is …?"
Han Xiao was shocked and felt the world spinning.
This virus was entrenched in his quantum soul, and it was not a pure negative state. It was madly messing up his consciousness on the virtual level. It was as if a naughty child had come to his house, rummaging through his neatly arranged things and throwing them everywhere. Han Xiao had no choice but to focus and fight against it.
Seeing his situation, Clottey's eyes narrowed. Dark energy gathered, and he brazenly attacked.
However, the next moment, the large group of [Dimensional Exile Bullets] that Ames had frozen in mid-air took the initiative to explode, releasing an expanding space turbulence that swallowed Clottey's attack and transferred it to an unknown place.
Not only that, but these released space turbulence also crazily tore at the space wall of the Land of Dead Silence, creating more holes.
Seeing this, Ames immediately controlled her force field and prepared to crush these few spaceships.
At this time, Fay, who was in the main ship, made her move. A foggy white protective shield spread out with her as the center, protecting the fleet and blocking Ames' force field. They competed with each other, preventing Ames from destroying the spaceships immediately.
The next moment, a special disk-shaped device appeared at the bow of the main ship, which looked like some kind of magnifying radar. It suddenly vibrated and released a special wave.
Hum!
You have been affected by [Advanced Life Form Energy Disorder Wave — Beyond Grade A Frequency].
Your total level has been detected to be LV 320.
"It's taking effect. We don't have much time!"
Seeing this, Law abruptly raised his arm. His sleeve slid down, revealing an arm-shaped metal device on his wrist. This was a special equipment designed to capture Primal Esper Ability Entities. He pulled it toward the Mysterious Energy Host.
Kacha!
The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy seemed to have eaten some kind of great tonic. It suddenly expanded and broke the Mysterious Energy Host from the inside out, instantly breaking free.
However, before it could move, an invisible force caught its energy body and made it fly uncontrollably in the direction of the fleet.
On the other side, the spaceship did not remain idle. The second wave of Dimensional Exile Bullets was fired towards the trio, who were struggling to move. Clottey struggled to control his special ability, forming a shield around his body.
However, the spatial turbulence directly swallowed Clottey along with his shell and disappeared without a trace. It was unknown where he was banished to.
At this critical moment, Han Xiao barely suppressed the overwhelming virus in his mind. He pulled his mind out, grabbed Ames's shoulder with difficulty, and escaped the range of the Dimensional Exile Bullet with Virtual Teleportation.
Then, he raised his hand and released a binding force field, grabbing the body of the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy from the other side, preventing it from being captured.
Whoosh!
The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was pulled taut like a piece of cloth being pulled by both sides.
Law's tone was anxious. "Black Star is recovering. We can't waste any more time, or we'll be dead for sure. Take as much as you can!"
As he said that, he changed his hand gesture and activated another function of the arm-shaped storage device. A small part of the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy's body was cut off.
This part of the energy was absorbed by a black hole and quickly rushed into Law's arm-shaped storage device.
"Let's go!"
After completing this step, the fleet fired a Dimensional Exile Bullet, which self-destructed as soon as it left the chamber. The spatial turbulence directly swallowed the fleet, making all the spaceships disappear.
After dozens of seconds, the effects of the chaotic body control slowly disappeared. Ames took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling. She had a shocked expression.
"What kind of methods are these?"
"These are special technologies developed by Primal Esper Ability Entities …"
Without any external interference, Han Xiao had already used his Virtual Technology to eliminate most of the Memory Formatting Virus. After reorganizing his memory palace, his expression was solemn.
From the beginning to the end, this fleet only used technological weapons, but they were able to force the three of them into an extremely passive state. Han Xiao had a deep impression of these special technologies because they had also appeared in his previous life.
Be it the Memory Formatting Virus, the Dimensional Exile Bullet, or the Advanced Life Form Energy Disorder Wave, they were all special technologies reverse engineered by different Primal Esper Ability Entities and had different uses.
Among them, the Dimensional Exile Bullet could not be effective in the main universe because the space structure of the main universe was completely different from the secondary dimensions. However, in the secondary dimensions, this technology was a powerful weapon that could divide the battlefield, escape, expel, and destroy the secondary dimensions.
The Memory Formatting Virus was a technological product that affected the soul. It also came from a certain Primal Esper Ability Entity and was modified into a quantum network model. It was a trap specifically set for Han Xiao's Virtual Intrusion and successfully took effect when Han Xiao was not prepared.
The Advanced Life Form Energy Disorder Wave was specifically targeted at the strong. The higher one's Energy Rank, the greater the effect. It was equivalent to using one's own energy against oneself. However, Beyond Grade A lifeforms had very strong adaptability. Every time they were affected by the Chaotic Wave, their basic effect would be reduced the next time.
The enemy specialized in Primal Esper Ability Entities, so their containment technology was more advanced. By activating the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy, they broke the carrier of the Mysterious Energy Host and stole a portion of the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy's energy.
No matter how strong Supers were, they were still lifeforms. Since they were lifeforms, there were ways to deal with them. They were far from invincible. Although the technology trees of the three Universal Civilizations were different, they all had technologies that targeted high-level lifeforms. For example, the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was an example. Even the pinnacle Beyond Grade A Dragon could not take more than a few hits from it. As the advanced civilizations developed, there would only be more and more similar technologies.
If it were a head-on battle, be it Han Xiao or the Dark Emperor, they would be able to easily crush this fleet. However, the enemy was unprepared and used all kinds of targeted technologies to launch a sneak attack, catching the three of them off guard.
Even Clottey, who was very strong, suffered. He was banished into the space turbulence and would not be able to come out again.
However, the enemy could only control the three of them at most. They did not have enough attack methods to hurt the three of them.
"The target of these people is not Clottey. They're coming for me."
Han Xiao stored the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy again and frowned.
Ames caught the information in Han Xiao's words and asked curiously, "You know who they are?"
"I do know."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "This is a group of people.
"This is a group of people who shouldn't have appeared in this era …"
