A few days later.
"The transport ship has been stolen?"
Harrison's team, who was waiting for the final payment in the hotel, suddenly stood up and stared at the remote projection of the auctioneer who had come to inform them.
"Yes, a group of galactic pirates discovered our secret transport route and attacked all the disguised spaceships we used to transport the auction items." The auctioneer's face was also very ugly.
"Where are your guards?" Harrison could not help but ask. "I heard that you and the Beast Ancestor …"
The auctioneer interrupted him and said with a dark face, "The Beast Ancestor has fallen, and he is no longer our backer. We can only hire new armed forces. This group of galactic pirates has been targeting us for a long time. They bribed our insiders and stole this batch of goods and spaceships. The newly hired guards all died in battle."
Speaking of this, the auctioneer of this black market could not help but sigh.
If Gorután was still around, they would have the protection of the Beast Ancestor, which would be enough to deter the various raiders in the Ancient Star Desert. No one in the black market would dare to attack them.
But now, their old backer had fallen, and the new one was still slowly consolidating the black market forces left behind by the Beast Ancestor. They were at their weakest, and immediately became fat sheep surrounded by wolves. They even dared to attack a group of cats and dogs that came out of nowhere.
"Then what about our items?" The captain was vigilant.
This black market auction used to have a good reputation, which was why he chose to come here to sell his items. However, after this huge change, he was not sure if the other party would do the same. The order in the black market was very fragile, and the law of the jungle was even worse.
"We will organize people to search for the whereabouts of this group of galactic pirates and get the items back."
"If we can't get them back …"
"Then the auction house will compensate according to the starting price." After saying this, the auctioneer did not give them a chance to speak and immediately ended the communication.
Everyone looked at each other.
"The starting price is only 4,000 Enas, and the final price is 13800!"
"Be content. It's good enough that they are willing to compensate." The captain said helplessly. "The probability of the black market compensating is less than ten percent. They probably saw that our items were not valuable, so they were so straightforward. They will definitely find a way to deny the payment for those items that have a starting price of hundreds of thousands."
Hearing this, everyone sighed. The things they dug up this time weren't worth much, and they didn't expect to lose it. It was a wasted trip.
Harrison, on the other hand, was a little restless. His intuition made him feel uneasy.
He had a feeling that this stolen item would bring him a lot of trouble.
…
Somewhere in the Ancient Star Desert, a fleet of galactic pirates that had just gone through a battle was slowly moving through the universe, dragging their spoils of war transport ships.
"What a bountiful harvest."
Inside the cabin, the leader of the space pirates patted the captives and the trophies that had been piled up into a hill with his hands on his belt.
"Boss, this batch of firearms is in perfect condition." One of his subordinates was in high spirits.
Among the spoils of war, there were all kinds of auction items. Not only were there all kinds of ancient drawings, technological creations, and antiques, but there were also all kinds of advanced weapons of civilizations. The black market auctions could afford antiques, but these space pirates preferred practical firearms.
The leader of the space pirates paced around and observed the result of the battle. Suddenly, he stopped in front of the dark triangular device.
"What's this?"
"Boss, this is an unknown civilization's creation dug up by an archeological team. It seems to be a one-time use safe."
"What's inside?"
"I don't know. It doesn't seem to be worth much."
"Open it." The leader of the space pirates kicked the base of the device.
As it turned out, opening a safe was something that everyone loved to do. The Mechanic class expert in the team was fiddling with the device, and the surrounding space pirates could not help but gather around to watch.
The triangular device's socket was connected to the energy transmission line, and the password interface was activated. The expert took out a deciphering device and connected the triangular device to the quantum network. All kinds of random codes jumped quickly on the password interface.
After a while, the triangular device suddenly made a sound, indicating that it had been opened.
Ka ka ka!
Then, the display used to enter the password was retracted. The entire device started to spin like a Rubik's cube, rapidly changing its shape and peeling off layer by layer.
Everyone, including the leader of the space pirates, craned their necks, curious about what was inside.
About ten seconds later, the safe was finally opened. The last layer of protection was peeled off, revealing the core. It was about ten cubic centimeters in size.
However, in the next moment, a surging wave of energy erupted with a bang!
Boom!
Before anyone could see clearly what was inside, they were blown away by the shockwave. Even the leader of the space pirates, who had reached the Calamity Grade, was not immune.
The next second, the area around the triangular device turned into an empty space. The spoils of war were scattered everywhere, and the scene was a mess.
"Ouch …"
Everyone rubbed their buttocks and got up. They realized that they only felt a little pain from the fall and did not have any other injuries.
The leader of the space pirates and the others hurriedly looked at the safe, but they realized that it was empty.
"Where's the thing inside? Why is there nothing inside? "
The leader of the space pirates was furious, feeling that he had been tricked.
Could it be that this was just a prank?
Who put a fart inside?
At this moment, the door opened, and the technician operating the spaceship rushed over with a panicked expression.
"Boss, what happened here? The location we were at just now became the origin of a cosmic energy surge. The energy reaction broke through the peak in an instant and burned the detection radar. There is no matching energy explosion model in the database."
Hearing this, all the space pirates present were stunned.
Cosmic energy explosion?
What kind of joke was this? It only made them fall on their buttocks. How could this be a cosmic energy?
Just as they were puzzled, in a world that they could not see, a unique information packet was crazily replicating itself. With the space pirates as the center, it rapidly spread out through the quantum network.
In front of this information signal, the intelligent firewalls of countless devices were useless.
…
At the same time, in a certain base of the Holy Covenant organization.
This was a dark palace. Pillars that stretched as far as the eye could see supported the dome. Under each pillar was a brazier with pale white flames dancing on it. This was the only source of light.
A hooded man in a black robe floated in midair. The edges of his robe seemed to be burning, and wisps of black mist were constantly escaping.
Below, Law and Fay bowed and reported something. They were both Beyond Grade As, but they did not dare look up at the figure in the sky.
"… Are you saying that there's no way to get the Holy Light Particle?"
The voice sounded directly in their hearts. The tone was neither light nor heavy. Luo and Fei trembled slightly.
Law clenched his teeth and said, "Yes, we've already ambushed Black Star once. He'll definitely be prepared. If we act rashly, the organization will run the risk of being exposed. Furthermore, Black Star announced that he has the Holy Light Particle in such a high-profile manner. It's very likely that he's deliberately baiting us. According to the information, Black Star is an extremely vengeful person. He'll definitely want to get back at us. "
Fay also agreed. "Although Black Star found a host for the Holy Light Particle, he'll definitely be prepared. During the rescue battle for Hella, Black Star displayed an unlimited teleportation device. There's no reason for him not to let the host of the Holy Light Particle use it. Therefore, that might be a bait."
The black-robed man lowered his head and looked down at the two of them. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I understand. Don't make a move on the Holy Light Particle for now. The agreed date hasn't arrived yet. We still have time to observe."
Seeing that their boss had no intention of blaming them, Law and Fay secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them respected the black-robed man deeply.
This black-robed man was the leader of the Holy Covenant organization. His name was unknown, but his code name was' Oathkeeper '. He was the teacher of all the existing Beyond Grade As in the organization.
When the two of them were children, Oathkeeper was already the leader of the organization. No one knew how long he had lived, and his strength was even more unfathomable. Even if the two of them barely managed to become Beyond Grade As, they would not be able to resist Oathkeeper.
At this time, the remote projection of an officer appeared beside the two of them and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Oathkeeper, Destiny's Child suddenly had an abnormal reaction!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he said that, Oathkeeper's figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in a sealed room.
Countless researchers in lab coats surrounded a cylindrical transparent container. The container was filled with dark blue liquid, and a white Primal Esper Ability Entity was inside. The energy entity maintained a humanoid structure and did not have any facial features. It quietly floated in the liquid.
Oathkeeper turned to look at the research team leader beside him and asked with a deep voice, "What happened?"
"The sleeping Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity suddenly had an information state disturbance and broke through the seal of the container. We're currently calculating how many entities this information state disturbance will create in the entire universe …" The research team leader nervously wiped his sweat.
"Sudden disturbance?" Oathkeeper paused. "Without you guys actively activating it?"
"Yes, yes. We were just recording the parameters as usual, and all of this suddenly happened."
"Wake it up," Oathkeeper said firmly. "It was stimulated. It must have passively sensed something."
The researchers had no choice but to do as they were told and began to drain the special liquid in the container. The figure of Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity immediately became blurry, as if it would disappear at any time.
"Increase the binding force field and reality anchor. Don't let it completely enter the High-Dimensional Information State and break through the containment." The researchers beside him were sweating profusely.
Oathkeeper did not care about what was happening beside him. He reached out and placed his hand on the outer wall of the container. A flame ignited in his palm. This flame had a strange color, like a pulsating starry sky. Furthermore, it had no temperature and burned quietly, not affecting the outside world at all.
The attention of Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity in the container was attracted, and its body stabilized again. It curiously reached out and placed its hand on Oathkeeper's palm through the transparent container wall.
At this moment, Oathkeeper spoke in a low voice.
"Tell me, what did you find?"
Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity tilted its head, and a wave of mind rippled. In the hearts of everyone present, a child-like pure voice sounded intermittently.
"Information State projection … New Destiny Line … Resonance of the First Sanctum …"
Oathkeeper listened quietly and asked, "Is the agreed date still the same?"
"Brought forward … Brought forward … Ten years … Twenty years …"
Oathkeeper took a deep breath, and without turning his head, he ordered, "Inject the solution and let it continue to sleep."
Everyone immediately went to work, and the dark blue solution filled the container again. Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity trembled as if it wanted to struggle, but it finally quieted down and fell asleep again.
The research team leader looked at the instrument and could not help but sigh. In the short time when Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity woke up, the amplitude of the information state disturbance had increased by 6.4%, which meant that another batch of unknown sub-bodies was about to be born in the universe.
Although the Holy Covenant Organization had already mastered Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity when it was founded, the Holy Covenant had always been extremely cautious in its use because of its uniqueness.
Among the Primal Esper Ability Entities, Destiny's Child Esper Ability Entity had a special form of existence. When it woke up and activated its ability, it would produce a phenomenon called 'Information State Disturbance'. Some random creatures in the universe would inexplicably awaken a weakened version of its ability, mainly foresight. These targets were called 'sub-bodies' by the Holy Covenant Organization.
The appearance of sub-bodies was irregular, and there were no restrictions on space or time. In other words, where, when, and how the sub-bodies appeared were all unknown.
At this moment, Law and Fay also rushed over and looked around.
"How's the situation?"
Hearing this, Oathkeeper turned around and slowly said, "There's a change in the plan. The agreed date has been brought forward. I'll go get the Holy Light Particle myself."
"You're going to do it yourself?"
The two of them were shocked.
Law hurriedly said, "It's too risky. Black Star is sinister and cunning, and he's very good at fighting. If anything happens to you, then we —"
Oathkeeper interrupted him. His gaze was distant as he whispered, "We don't have to do it. Maybe we can talk to him. We only want a part of the Holy Light Particle … Similarly, we can take out parts of other Esper Ability Entities to exchange with him."
With that, he patted the two of them on the shoulder and said softly,
"We've already collected the other key fragments to open the Third Sanctum, and only the Primal Esper Ability Entity fragment is left. Although we can still perform the synthesis ritual without one Holy Light Particle, it will bring unknown risks. We've been preparing for so many years, so it's best to eliminate any unstable factors as much as possible. "
