Since the Lord's Avatar was destroyed, the secondary dimensional army box could no longer be opened. The mechanical army that Manison left behind became a lone army.
Even though the Quantum Infinite Distance Transmission Channel could continue to provide Mechanical Force bonuses, it was a futile struggle, and the situation could not be reversed. Almost all the troops present were captured by Han Xiao.
Han Xiao had Philip calculate. Other than tens of millions of normal mechanical soldiers, they also captured two Felons and a large number of Indestructible Mecha Empire troops.
Old Manison had been trying his best to stop the losses after realizing that the situation was not good. The Apostle Weapons were the fastest, so they all escaped. In the end, they only managed to snatch back one Esper Felon. As for the other two, one was captured by his Mechanical Deity, and the other was not taken away due to Ames' interference.
"We've gotten rich!"
Han Xiao was overjoyed.
With so many mechanical soldiers, he could reverse engineer their blueprints. Especially with the two Felons, he could completely deduce the technology himself.
While he was making a killing, Old Manison was making a huge loss.
He came out looking for the Soul Swapper, but not only did he not get it, he even lost a portion of his family's assets. He went for wool and came home shorn, losing both Felons and soldiers.
Just by imagining it in his mind, Han Xiao could already guess how furious Manison must be right now, and he felt very comfortable.
He had gotten a huge haul!
However, while it felt great to screw over the Mecha Empire, it also left behind some troublesome matters. The two Felons had regained their consciousness, so he had to deal with them.
Han Xiao released the Mechanic class Felon inside the Mechanical Deity and let him meet up with the other Pugilist Felon. He then had the mechanical army surround the two of them.
Seeing this, the two Felons immediately got into a defensive posture, but neither side made a move. Although the Felons could not remember most things, after the battle earlier, they knew that Han Xiao had saved them. However, they still could not trust Han Xiao and were afraid that they would fall into the wolf's lair after escaping the tiger's den.
Han Xiao deactivated the Mechanical Deity, and his main body passed through the encirclement. He glanced at the two of them and narrowed his eyes.
"How much do you remember?"
The two Felons looked at each other and shook their heads.
"You can't remember anything other than battle? What about your name?"
The two shook their heads again.
"No name … Only codenames …"
"What codenames did the Mecha Empire give you?"
The Mechanic class Felon pointed at himself and then at his companion.
"I am Er Bao, he is Si Bao."
"…"
Hearing these two fresh and refined names, Han Xiao didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
Why did Manison give his trump card a codename so casually? It was actually a little cute. This style did not match him at all!
Could it be that this idiot's naming skills are on par with mine?
It seemed that outstanding people even had similar weaknesses.
Han Xiao rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, you guys follow me for the time being, and I'll help you find your identities. You were once enemies of the Mecha Empire, so it should be easy to find information."
The Mechanic class Felon Er Bao whispered, "You're not thinking of controlling us like he did, are you?"
"I don't have such thoughts at the moment, but I can't say for sure in the future." Han Xiao shrugged. "But you guys don't have a choice now, right?"
Looking at the dense mechanical army around them, the two of them nodded silently.
In comparison, falling into the hands of this extraordinary man would not be worse than falling into the hands of the Mecha Empire.
If the other party wanted to copy the actions of the Mecha Empire, he would not have said so much and would have taken them down long ago.
"Who … are you?" Si Bao asked.
"Then listen carefully. Standing in front of you is the Army Commander of the Black Star Corps, the Protector of the Aquamarine Federation, the pinnacle of strength in the Shattered Star Ring, the second largest organization in the Flickering World, the National Pillar of the Red Empire, the Special Consultant of the three Universal Civilizations, the Vice President of the Beyond Grade A Association, the hero who solved the Intelligent Plague, the winner of the Galaxy Medal …"
"There are too many people. I can't remember." Si Bao shook his head.
"… Cough, these are all my titles. You can simply call me Black Star." Han Xiao knew that the two of them did not know him, so he tried to scare them as much as he could.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded.
Since they had nowhere else to go, they did not mind following Han Xiao. Among the few feelings they had left, their hostility toward the Mecha Empire was the strongest. Following this person might give them a chance to take revenge. Otherwise, if they were left alone, they would be captured by the Mecha Empire again.
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao told the mechanical army to bring the two Felons back to the spaceship. He had not thought of a way to deal with the Felons who had regained their self-awareness, so he might as well keep the two of them for now. He would slowly think about it after dealing with the matters here.
He turned his gaze to the other side and saw that the Indestructible Mechanical Army was gathered at the side, silently staring at him. In the quantum network, those artificial intelligences that had regained their normal state were also staring at him, as if they wanted to turn tail and run.
After experiencing the disaster of the Mecha Empire, these artificial intelligences had already understood the relationship of the food chain. Every Mechanic was a predator in their eyes, and there was no trust to speak of.
Han Xiao thought about it. With his identity, it would not be good for him to interact with these artificial intelligences. It would be like a butcher telling a bunch of pigs that they were beautiful. It would be easy for them to misunderstand.
After thinking about it, he summoned Risda in the Virtual Domain.
"I'll leave your compatriots to you. Just don't let them do anything rash."
"Understood!"
Risda was overjoyed.
How many years has it been! I've finally waited for my compatriots to be saved!
Although the exact process was very different from what he had imagined, the result was still good.
Even if only a portion of his compatriots were saved, at least he saw the light of hope!
Choosing Black Star back then was indeed the right investment!
Seeing that Risda went up to communicate with his compatriots, Han Xiao looked away and shook his head. He was not optimistic.
Unlike the Felon technology, the recovery did not mean complete freedom because the bodies of these artificial intelligences were still bound to the device that transmitted the recombination material.
Through the energy transmission channel, Manison could locate and track them. Unless he could deal with the host computer in Manison's house, these artificial intelligences would still be prisoners trapped in their bodies. Once their bodies were shattered, Manison could switch the transmission mode and retrieve the artificial intelligences.
This was a safety measure for the Indestructible Mechanical Army technology. Han Xiao had not grasped this technology, so he did not know how to reverse the modification and remove the bindings.
Therefore, the only effective plan now was to let these Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers stay at home obediently. There was no way old Manison would use his resources to help him reconstruct his mechanical soldiers. His corpse would be picked up at any moment.
Winning the battle was one thing, but old Manison was a master who had studied machinery for countless years after all. His signature technology was not something that could be easily analyzed.
Han Xiao did not expect the Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers to fight. Firstly, the players under him were more terrifying, and secondly, he was not in a hurry to obtain the Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers technology. The strength of the Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers was their almost unlimited endurance, which he could do himself.
Instead of transforming the artificial intelligences into Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers, he would rather restore the artificial intelligences and use them to deduce the incomplete map of the Domino Virus. The lethality of that thing was countless times higher than the Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers.
It did not matter that he could not use them for the time being. His goal was to make the Mecha Empire suffer a loss. Of course, these Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers were not useless to him. They were all precious sources of intelligence that could be used to inquire about the situation of the various bases of the Mecha Empire.
Just as he was thinking, Hella's voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Black Star, come over quickly. We've found the target."
"You've found the Soul Swapper? Well done! "
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
He did not forget that the Soul Swapper was the real goal of this trip. Now that he had locked down Planet Earth Ring, he would not give up until he found the Soul Swapper. Furthermore, with Hella, an expert in the field of mental strength, leading a few European Kings to do a carpet search, the Soul Swap Twins were at a dead end. No matter how miraculous the Soul Swapper was, it would be exposed sooner or later.
…
After returning to the spaceship, Han Xiao immediately saw two figures tied up in the middle of the room. They were both women, and they looked like they had lost all hope in life.
"These are the Soul Swap Twins?" Han Xiao looked at Hella, Fu Ding, and the others. "Did we catch the wrong person?"
"There's no mistake." Hella took out a black crystal mirror and handed it to Han Xiao. "They've confessed everything. This is the Soul Swapper."
Han Xiao took the Soul Swapper, weighed it in his hand, and looked at the item introduction on the interface.
Another Space Wonder, and it's something that I've never seen in my previous life … Han Xiaoxin was elated.
"How did you catch them?"
As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at Harrison.
"Don't look at me. I just pointed casually …"
Harrison hurriedly waved his hand, looking embarrassed.
"… Okay, I understand." Han Xiao's mouth twitched.
There seemed to be differences in their luck auras. For example, Harrison was especially good at finding treasures.
No wonder the Soul Swap Twins looked like they were doubting life. They had changed their bodies countless times and thought that they were perfect, but they were defeated by inexplicable luck. Anyone would be devastated.
Han Xiao turned to look at the Soul Swap Twins.
"How do you use this thing?"
Jill quickly said, "Only the two of us can use the Soul Swapper in the entire universe. We're willing to work for you! Actually, you've always been my idol! It's our honor to work for the army. "
Now that things had come to this, all his ambitions and hopes had become nothing.
Jill only had one thought left, which was to use the Soul Swapper as a bargaining chip and join Black Star in exchange for a chance to live!
Seeing this, Han Xiao curled his lips.
Tsk tsk, this flattery is too stiff. It's obvious that they're not good at it.
"You said that only the two of you can use the Soul Swapper in the entire universe?"
"It's true. I'm not lying to you. The Modo Civilization tested trillions of people, and only the two of us are qualified. We were born for the Soul Swapper!"
"We'll only know after we try. Tell me, how do you usually use it?"
The two of them had no choice but to explain how they used the Soul Swapper.
Testing … Testing complete. You are not qualified to use the Soul Swapper.
"Seems like I really can't."
Han Xiao studied it for a while but still could not figure it out. The interface did not show what conditions were needed to meet the qualifications.
After thinking about it, he handed the Soul Swapper to Hella and said, "Don't just stand there.
"Don't just stand there. Give it a try."
Hella tried it casually, but there was no reaction either. Seeing this, everyone took turns to try it.
Jill and Warren watched this scene. They still pretended to be sincere and eager, but there was a hint of mockery in their eyes. They were secretly smug.
No matter how you try, it's useless. We're the only masters of the Soul Swapper!
After a while, seeing that no one was going to stop, Jill pursed his lips and emphasized, "I said, we're the only ones qualified.
"I've already said that only us brothers are qualified. Other than us, no one else can use Soul Swap … What?!"
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly widened his eyes and froze on the spot.
Black ripples appeared on the surface of the Soul Swapper's mirror, swallowing Fu Ding's palm. It sank deeper and deeper. That impatient look was like a woman with unsatisfied desires.
"Huh?" Fu Ding finally realized and said in surprise, "Did I succeed?"
"That's it?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "It doesn't seem like the conditions are that harsh."
"You, you, you, you …"
Jill and Warren stuttered, their eyes wide open.
They could not believe that the only qualified person out of trillions of people had appeared in front of them without any warning!
The two of them had thought that they were the one and only Chosen Ones, but the scene in front of them had smashed their sense of superiority to pieces!
The Soul Swapper that they regarded as a holy object not only found a new lover right in front of them, but it also looked extremely hungry and impatient, as if it wanted to suck him whole!
At this moment, the two of them felt like their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and their pupils turned green. It was as if they had seen their beloved wife change her mind and throw herself into someone else's arms right in front of them.
Han Xiao shook his head. "After testing trillions of people, only the two of you are found. This can only mean one thing … the Modo Civilization has no talents left."
Jill suddenly came back to his senses and cursed in his heart. If they lost their value, even staying alive would be a luxury.
Thinking of this, Jill pulled himself together and shouted, "We're still alive!
We're still useful! We can pass on our experience of using the Soul Swapper over the years. We can also reveal what missions the Modo Civilization has asked us to carry out over the years. We can also … "
Crack!
Before he could finish, his shouts stopped abruptly. His head turned 360 degrees, and his neck was twisted into a fried dough twist. The shattered cervical vertebrae pierced through his skin.
Ames walked into the cabin, flicked her finger, and rotated the force field. Warren, who had not even had the chance to show his fear on his face, had his neck broken as well.
She looked around, and her eyes finally fell on Han Xiao. She said in a deep voice,
She said in a deep voice, "I'm taking the lives of these two."
"What a prodigal woman …" Han Xiao mumbled softly. "If we leave one of them alive, we might be able to get a lot of information out of him."
When it came to Aesop's safety, Ames had never been reasonable. She did not even want the Soul Swap Twins to breathe for a second longer.
At this moment, Hella narrowed her eyes. She suddenly raised her hand, and two gray mists rose from the Soul Swap Twins' heads and disappeared into the Mark of the Underworld on the back of her hand.
"I'll keep their souls. I'll report to you when I get the results from the interrogation."
"You're still the most reliable one." Han Xiao could not help but give her a thumbs up.
"Then, what about this thing?" Fu Ding pulled his arm out of the Soul Swapper's mirror.
"Since you can use it, you can take it with you first. I'll study it later."
Han Xiao did not mind. He trusted Fu Ding completely, so it was fine to let Fu Ding take the Soul Swapper with him for the time being. He was in a good mood and did not care about these details.
"What a great harvest this time. Not only did I get a Universal Treasure, but I also got an unexpected surprise from Old Manison …"
Han Xiaoxin was secretly overjoyed.
On the other hand, Manison was on the other end of the spectrum. Almost all of his subordinate organizations in the Shattered Star Ring were exposed, but he did not get the Soul Swapper in the end. He even lost a lot of trump cards.
"Without Manison's generosity, I wouldn't be where I am today … This is the spirit of passing on the torch!"
Han Xiao was filled with respect.
…
At the same time, in the Mecha Empire's secret base …
"B * stard! You and I are irreconcilable! "
Manison was so angry that he smashed the table in front of him with his hand.
He prided himself on being a gentle and easy-going person and would not scold people … unless he could not help it.
The premise of being calm was that the losses had not reached the point where he felt the pinch. In the past, no matter how many Mech Army he lost, he could deal with it calmly because he had as many Mech Armies as he wanted. Those losses were just a drop in the ocean.
However, today, he really felt the pinch.
He was not angry because he did not feel the pinch. Now that he felt the pinch, he was naturally furious.
Thinking about the two Felons falling into the enemy's hands, Manison's heart bled. It hurt even more than when he lost the Virtual Mutiny Virus core.
This was his trump card. He had originally planned to teach Black Star an unforgettable lesson, but he did not expect Black Star to snatch it away!
Even now, Manison still could not figure out how Han Xiao did it. He was shocked and angry.
Furthermore, he had wasted so many resources, but he did not even see the shadow of the Soul Swapper in the end. He had never done such a losing deal before. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
After so many years of self-cultivation, he rarely had such intense emotional fluctuations. However, after meeting Black Star in the past ten years, he had lost all his self-control.
"Black Star! Ahhh! "
Manison's angry shouts could be heard in the room.

(Thank you, Big Boss Qing Ningzi, for the million Silver Alliance. Originally, he was thinking of taking a few days off to adjust his work and rest schedule, but when he saw the reward, he immediately got up and started to write. Thank you for your generosity, it really makes me blush with shame, ah. Damn it, it's time for a holiday, I can't sleep anymore, so I quickly got up and started to write. ?? ??
