How did Black Star know my identity?
Oathkeeper had originally wanted to show his Beyond Grade A strength to attract Black Star's attention and take the initiative in the negotiation. He did not expect that as soon as he appeared, he would be exposed without any preparation. He could no longer pretend to be mysterious.
Seeing that Black Star had recognized him at first glance, Oathkeeper's heart skipped a beat.
Where did he get this information from? Where has the organization been exposed? He even knows the name?
A series of doubts appeared in Oathkeeper's mind, and his mood suddenly became heavy.
The Holy Covenant Organization had always been hiding in the dark, and there were too many secrets. Since Black Star could see through his identity, how much did he know about the Holy Covenant Organization? Would he know about their ultimate mission?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Oathkeeper's murderous intent rose, and he planned to silence Han Xiao.
However, the next moment, the murderous intent in his heart was forcefully suppressed by him.
There was no other reason. Although he wanted to silence Han Xiao, Black Star was just too strong.
This kind of peak Beyond Grade A meat shield could not be easily dealt with. Violence was the last resort, and negotiations were the priority.
This was the advantage of being strong. It made others more willing to reason with him calmly.
Let's test how much Black Star knows first. If he knows everything about the Holy Covenant Organization, I'll have to make plans. After so many years of planning, I can't take any risks …
Oathkeeper suppressed the shock in his heart and adjusted his emotions. Negotiating the deal was no longer his priority. In his eyes, the most important thing now was to test Black Star's background.
With this thought in mind, Oathkeeper slowly sat down opposite Han Xiao and whispered.
"You know a lot about the Holy Covenant Organization?"
"Not much, just a little."
Han Xiao gestured the universe with his fingertips, and his smile was full of meaning. He had an expression that said, 'My eyes can see through everything', as if he was being sarcastic.
In fact, Han Technician only knew a little about the Holy Covenant. He only knew that they had resurrected a large number of Primordial Ones in the later versions, but he did not know the inside story. It could be said that he only knew the actions of the Holy Covenant organization, but not their motives.
He recognized Oathkeeper because in the later versions, Oathkeeper was still the leader of the Holy Covenant Organization and received attention because of his participation in the World Tree War. However, Han Xiao only knew that he was the leader of the organization and did not know anything about his background.
Han Xiao purposely put on this "I know what I'm doing" attitude to fool the other party so that Oathkeeper could not figure him out.
Seeing this, Oathkeeper was bewildered, but he remained expressionless. "I'm curious. How do you recognize me? Have we met before?"
"Yes, we've met before."
"Is there …" Oathkeeper was shocked. He tried hard to recall when he had interacted with Black Star, but after combing through his memories three times, he could not find anything.
At this moment, Han Xiao said seriously, "We met in a dream."
Oathkeeper was speechless.
What the f * ck are you talking about?
Black Star was obviously joking, but in Oathkeeper's eyes, this gesture was more proof that Black Star knew a lot of things. This made him feel more and more solemn, and his imagination ran wild.
"Let's not talk about that for now." Han Xiao waved his hands, narrowed his eyes, and said, "You said you wanted to do business with me. Let me hear what kind of business it is."
Oathkeeper sorted out his emotions and temporarily put down the idea of probing. "I hope to exchange for a portion of the Holy Light Particle."
"Oh?" Han Xiao glanced at him. "Then what can you take out?"
"It depends on what you want. We're willing to use parts of other Primal Esper Abilities to exchange for the Holy Light Particle in your hands."
So, Holy Covenant wants to get the Holy Light Particle through negotiation. This should be how they cooperated with EsGod in my previous life. My plan to lure the snake out of its hole worked … Han Xiao thought to himself.
He publicly said that the Holy Light Particle was in his hands to lure the Holy Covenant to contact him. According to his judgment, after the previous sneak attack, the Holy Covenant might attack him or trade for the Holy Light Particle. Either way, he would be able to lure the Holy Covenant out.
If the Holy Covenant had been hiding in the dark and could not be seen, it would not have been good for him. Now that he had a chance to talk to them, he had room to maneuver.
Han Xiao pretended to ponder for a while, tapped the table with his finger, and did not answer the question immediately. Suddenly, he changed the topic.
"If I remember correctly, you guys just took the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy's chicken … cough, part of its body from me not long ago."
Sure enough, Black Star knew that the people who attacked him last time were from the Holy Covenant …
Oathkeeper's movements suddenly paused as he realized an important problem.
Did Black Star only find out about the Holy Covenant after he was attacked, or did he already know about the existence of the Holy Covenant before he was attacked?
This difference was very important!
"Are you sure that the people who attacked you last time were from the Holy Covenant?" Oathkeeper probed cautiously.
"What, you want to deny it? You think I can't recognize you just because you're hiding? " Han Xiao stroked his chin and said with a playful tone, "Dimensional Exile Bullet, Formatting Virus, Advanced Life Form Energy Disruption Wave, these are all the signature technologies of the Holy Covenant. Do you think I don't know about them?"
Oathkeeper's face under the hood immediately darkened.
It turned out that Black Star knew far more than he imagined. He knew about the existence of the Holy Covenant a long time ago!
The Holy Covenant had developed these technologies by researching Primal Esper Ability Entities and treated them all as trump cards. They were never sold and were rarely used. However, Black Star could clearly name these technologies, so there was only one possibility …
There was a mole!
And it was the upper echelons!
Oathkeeper's mind flashed with the figures of his officers, and he was furious.
Who was it that broke through the restrictions of Soul Flame and betrayed the organization?
Even Black Star knew about it. How much of this information had been leaked? Could it be that the database of those advanced civilizations already had records of the Holy Covenant?
If that was the case, then wouldn't the secrets that the Holy Covenant had kept for so many years become a joke in the eyes of others?
Oathkeeper's mind instantly exploded.
He was actually a steady man, but he had encountered too many shocks today, and his emotions were starting to lose control.
Feeling Oathkeeper's unstable mental fluctuations, Han Xiao was a little hesitant.
It seems like I've gone overboard with my acting and scared him …
Han Xiao sighed.
Sigh, these smart people love to fill in the blanks and be suspicious all day long. Even the slightest detail can make them panic … It's not that we're going overboard, but they're too sensitive.
In fact, Han Xiao's objective view of the Holy Accord was relatively neutral. He did not have a good impression of them, nor did he have a bad impression of them. In his previous life, the Holy Accord was not a villain organization, and they did not cause any trouble. The only thing they were famous for was using some unknown method to revive a bunch of Beyond Grade As in history and participating in the World Tree War.
Although the reason why the Holy Covenant participated in the war was mostly because they were intimately connected, they still contributed to the World Tree War and brought a wave of important reinforcements, so they still contributed.
In this regard, Han Xiao's position was the same. The revival of historical Beyond Grade As could instantly increase the strength of the Beyond Grade As in the explored universe. This way, they would have more chips to fight against the World Tree. He did not necessarily want to stop the Holy Covenant from accomplishing their goal.
However, some time ago, when the Holy Covenant organization came to attack him, Han Xiao made a note of it, punched him, and ran away. How could there be such a good thing? If he did not settle this score, he would not let it go.
As for whether the Primordial Ones revived during the Calamity of the Supers had anything to do with the Holy Covenant organization, Han Xiao was not sure. He very much suspected that the Life Capsules in his previous life was just an excuse to fool the public.
In fact, he could understand why this batch of revived Primordial Ones was an important fuse for the Calamity of the Supers. In fact, if he put himself in the shoes of the three Universal Civilizations and thought about it, he would understand …
What the f * ck, how can a bunch of dead people come back to life? Could it be that every dead Beyond Grade A has the right to revive? Then, if more and more people die in the future, and they all return one day to overthrow our rule, what should we do? Shameless!
The advanced civilizations tried to control the ratio of individual strength to collective strength, but they suddenly realized that individual strength could be f * cking resurrected. They could not control the situation, and their mentality would definitely explode.
Therefore, no matter whether the Primordial Ones revived or woke up from hibernation, they had to say to the outside that they had been lying in the Life Capsules all along. Otherwise, the problem would be huge, and who knew what the three Universal Civilizations would do.
Both of them were deep in thought, and it took them a while to recover.
Oathkeeper calmed down and said with a deep voice, "We can compensate for this.
"We can compensate you and apologize for our actions. I hope you can forgive my men's mistake."
"How are you going to compensate me for my mental loss?"
"What do you want?"
"Hmm, let me think …" Han Xiao held his head and said, "The Holy Covenant organization has a long history, so they should have a lot in stock. Give me a dozen Universal Treasures or blueprints, and I'll forgive you."
Why don't you just rob … Oh, you're robbing.
Oathkeeper immediately shook his head.
"Too many. We don't have them."
"How could that be?" Han Xiao chuckled. "Many of your members are Beyond Grade A survivors. Didn't your ancestors leave behind any stock?"
You even know this!
Just how much information have you leaked?
Oathkeeper clenched his teeth, only wanting to find out who the traitor was.
"… Anyway, we really don't have that many Universal Treasures, but we do have two blueprints in stock. We can compensate you."
"Two …" Han Xiao secretly curled his lips. "That seems a bit too little. Why don't you make a copy of those Esper Ability technologies for me?"
"Impossible!" Oathkeeper said without hesitation, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.
Forget it, two then. At least I got some meat.
Exchanging the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy for two Gold Grade blueprints, it's simply … Hmm, no cost, no gain.
Han Xiao clicked his tongue, and his expression became serious. He crossed his hands on the table and slowly said, "The deal can be done.
"We can proceed with the trade, but the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy parts that you stole will also be counted as part of the trade. You'll have to give me two Primal Esper Ability parts in exchange for a part of the Holy Light Particle."
[Primal Esper Ability Collector] was only two Primal Esper Ability Entities away from meeting the requirements. He could use the Holy Covenant to complete the mission and be rewarded with a Milestone Halo for Espers and a [The Third Sanctum] ability fragment.
"Okay, deal." Oathkeeper nodded decisively.
The Holy Covenant had collected a large number of Primal Esper Ability Entities. Cutting a few pieces of them and putting them on the shelves was no problem at all.
Although the style is a bit perverted, we're not good people, so there's no need to worry about this.
The Black Star Corps was now the dominant force in the universe. Oathkeeper understood the essence of survival. Although he was not afraid of Black Star, he would not use force if he could.
This time, Oathkeeper's eyes flashed, and he probed, "Black Star, what do you think of our Holy Covenant's mission?"
A lot of information had been leaked, but Oathkeeper still had one last hope. Although Black Star seemed to know everything, there was a small possibility that he did not know the ultimate mission of the Holy Covenant.
"Mission? Aren't you just an organization that researches Primal Esper Ability technology? What, do you have other schemes? "Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Oathkeeper stared at Han Xiao's expression closely, but he could not see anything. He did not know if Han Xiao really did not know or if he was pretending.
However, no matter what, he could not help but feel relieved when he heard this.
Black Star did not know the goal of the Holy Covenant, and such an unexpected factor was still under control. This meant that although the mole was an officer, he had not reached the core level.
"There's no conspiracy. The mission of our organization is to believe that Esper Abilities have infinite possibilities and can bring technological breakthroughs to the universe again and again …" Oathkeeper began to talk nonsense. This was the concept that the Holy Covenant told their people at the bottom level, a layer of disguise.
After chatting for a while and setting the time for the transaction, Oathkeeper left with a lot on his mind, rushing back to investigate the mole. It was not hard to imagine how furious he would be in the organization.
Han Xiao leaned back in his chair, gently rubbing the back of his hand with a thoughtful expression.
He did not expose the other party's intention to revive a group of Beyond Grade As in history. Firstly, he did not know what the other party was planning to do. Secondly, he did not know what the goal of the Holy Covenant was. If he exposed it rashly, it might cause variables.
He had already scared the other party with his tricks, and if he continued, it might be too much.
At the very least, before he obtained the blueprint compensation and the two Primal Esper Ability Entities, he did not want to fall out with the Holy Covenant for the time being. He would take the meat first, and whether to fight or negotiate in the future would be another matter.
Furthermore, Han Xiao did not mind reviving a group of Beyond Grade As in history. Compared to the World Tree Civilization, changing the situation of the universe was a small matter. Attacking the World Tree Civilization, every bit of strength was good.
"In my previous life, the Holy Covenant organization should have been working with EsGod. Now that I've replaced EsGod, I've become the Holy Covenant's partner and the mastermind. Hmm, under my influence, the changes to the storyline are getting bigger and bigger. Also, the research on the coordinates to the World Tree Civilization has not succeeded yet. I wonder how the dynasty's research is going … "
Just as Han Xiao was thinking, he suddenly paused and thought of something.
"By the way, the Holy Covenant organization has a long history and was so strong in my previous life. They might know something about the Sanctums. I'll have to ask them next time."
…
Somewhere in the Ancient Star Desert.
The galactic pirate fleet was stopped by three small battleships with the Radiant Federation's emblem. After a fierce battle, all the galactic pirates were captured.
On the deck of the main ship, the charred corpse of the galactic pirate leader lay on the ground. All his lackeys were squatting on the ground with their hands covering their heads. They were covered in wounds and trembling, not daring to raise their heads. A group of soldiers wearing the high-tech uniform of the Radiant Federation stood around them.
The leader was a member of the Radiant Federation. He wore an even more advanced uniform with a badge on his chest, representing his position as the Universe Inspector.
The Universe Inspector was a special department set up by the advanced civilizations. They patrolled different Star Systems, and their official position was even higher than the security guards. They specialized in detecting all kinds of abnormal situations. For example, it was a bit like the location of federal spies.
The Federation of Light Inspector paced in front of this group of galactic pirates, slowly taking off his black gloves that were stained with blood.
He slowly said, "Five days ago, there were signs of cosmic energy surging on your ship. The energy waves spread out and alarmed many advanced civilizations, including the three Universal Civilizations. This wave has never been seen before, so I don't know what it is …"
Pa!
The Radiant Federation Inspector suddenly stood in front of a galactic pirate, grabbed his chin, and forced him to raise his head to meet his sharp eyes. He said with a deep voice, "Can you tell me what happened here?"
"It's … it's a safe …" The galactic pirate stuttered and told him what had happened.
"An ancient safe that was sold at an auction?"
The Radiant Federation Inspector's eyes flashed. He pulled up the information of the auction item intercepted by the galactic pirates, and the information of Harrison's team appeared on the screen.
"A group of scavengers who are either lucky or unlucky …"
The inspector from the Federation of Light narrowed his eyes and left the galactic pirate behind, leaving behind a sentence.
"Let's go and find these people!"
