Somewhere in the Endless Nebula Star Field, a small fleet was hovering in a transportation hub area. Streams of hyperdrive light were constantly flashing beside it, but this fleet remained motionless, as if waiting for someone.
In the command room of the main ship, Morgan paced back and forth in front of the porthole with a serious and anxious expression. The crew in the room watched him walk around silently.
After a while, Morgan paused and said with a serious tone, "Urge them again and ask when the Black Star Corps will arrive."
"… Boss, you just asked once two minutes ago, and they already said that they're almost here. It's not appropriate to ask again." The adjutant beside him could not help but complain.
"Busybody, just ask if I want you to! Otherwise, I'll deduct your salary this month! "Morgan glared at him and said quickly," Who knows when the enemy will appear? Do you know? You don't! Then why the hell are you talking about it! You don't have to be responsible for my life, so of course you don't have to worry! I can't beat seven or eight Calamity Grades. If I lose my life, I'll make you my scapegoat before I die! "
The adjutant was speechless, but he did not take it seriously at all. He had followed Morgan for a long time and knew this guy's character too well. He was greedy for life, overcautious, indecisive, calculative, stingy … Sometimes, the adjutant really doubted how such a person could become a Beyond Grade A seed.
Morgan Panther, a senior Beyond Grade A seed, operated a small organization in the Endless Nebula Star Field. He only used it to ensure the convenience of his daily life and did not expand, so his sense of existence was thin.
After the Sanctum Revival was exposed, he packed up his belongings without hesitation and was about to go to the Beyond Grade A Association. His first choice was also the Black Star Corps. Other than being close to him, he had a good personal relationship with Hardaway. The two of them were online gambling friends and were birds of a feather.
However, before he left the Star Field with his team, he received a private notification from the Black Star Corps, saying that there seemed to be some mysterious organizations sending their men of sacrifice to hunt Beyond Grade A seeds. There might be seven or eight Calamity Grades in a team. Therefore, the army specially sent out an escort team and instructed him to be careful before they met up.
This frightened Morgan, and he quickly stopped his journey, preparing to leave after the army's protection. Not only that, but he also made the fleet stop at a bustling traffic intersection, waiting in public for fear of being attacked by assassins.
Of all the Beyond Grade A seeds who received the notice, he was the one who was the most cowardly.
At this moment, the spaceship's communicator suddenly rang, and a babyface appeared on the screen.
"Hey, hey, I'm Nero from the Black Star Corps. We've arrived and we've seen you guys. Come and join us."
Hearing this, Morgan was overjoyed. He quickly looked out of the porthole and saw a fleet with the insignia of the Black Star Corps stopping not far away.
"Reinforcements have finally arrived! All ships, listen up. Full speed ahead and meet up immediately! "Morgan excitedly slapped the table.
"We're already within sight range. We'll be there in less than ten seconds. Full speed my ass …" the adjutant complained.
The two fleets quickly met up, and Nero led his men onto Morgan's spaceship.
When Nero entered the cabin, he saw Morgan waiting for him at the entrance. Without any hesitation, Morgan rushed over and grabbed his hands with a touched expression on his face.
"My loved ones, you're finally here. Do you know how I've been through the past few days? I've been living in fear every day, but now, I can finally be at ease! "
"There's no need to be so agitated. It's my duty." Nero's mouth trembled, and he forcefully pulled his hands back.
If not for the fact that he did not want to receive Morgan's fatal calls, he would have arrived two days later.
Morgan did not mind and excitedly looked behind Nero. "I wonder how many experts the army has sent to meet me?"
"Experts? If you insist, just me. "Nero scratched his face and was a little embarrassed.
Morgan's eyes widened, and he awkwardly said, "Only one … Er, it's not that I don't believe in your strength, but didn't the notice say that the assassins will move together with seven or eight Calamity Grade Supers? It's just the two of us, so it might be a little risky …"
"There's no choice. Recently, there have been too many Beyond Grade A seeds joining the Black Star Corps, and the army's high-level combatants are not enough. We can only send out Grade B Supers to meet up with some targets. Originally, this kind of job would be best left to the Immortals, but they've reached the vanishing period, and it has already been fifty years, so the army can't send out any more experts," Nero explained.
"Then … then the safety issue …"
"Don't worry, all the reinforcements have brought along Black Star's mechanical battle squad and the life force potion specially made by Her Excellency Aurora. It's enough to ensure your safety."
Only then did Morgan relax and say, "Then, can we set off now? Are we going directly to the Flickering World?"
Nero scratched his head and said, "There's no need for that. We only need to go to the main army branches in the various Star Fields. Godfather's Lord's Avatar and the King mechanical suit's throne are usually stored there. We can borrow them and directly send them back to the main camp."
Originally, Han Xiao did not plan to do this, but after discovering the hunters, he temporarily opened up the privilege and allowed the Beyond Grade A seeds to use the King to teleport, avoiding the risk of traveling long distances.
As for the talents joining the other Beyond Grade A organizations, Han Xiao did not have any prejudice against them for the time being. He would also provide this help and only charge a small fee. This was also one of the reasons for the existence of the association, to allow the Beyond Grade A organizations to integrate their resources. As the president, he had to set an example at such a sensitive time.
The two of them chatted as they arrived at the command room. The fleet finally set off and began to move.
This time, Morgan suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "By the way, you said that there have been many Beyond Grade A seeds joining the army recently. Did they all encounter the assassins? Did anyone get hit? "
Hearing this, Nero's expression became serious, and he nodded slightly.
"It was a very wise decision for you to stay and wait for me. Although some of the Beyond Grade A seeds received the notice, they still went their own way, thinking that they could continue moving as long as they were careful. In the end, before they could meet up with the reinforcements, they were ambushed and killed.
Due to the distance, some of them had already met up with the reinforcements. We were considered to be late. Before us, some of our colleagues had indeed fought with the assassins, and they were basically fine. However, some of the people from the other organizations were wiped out by the assassins, which was a pity. "
Morgan trembled. "Who would be so bold as to attack so many Beyond Grade A seeds at the same time? That's too scary."
Nero pondered for a moment before saying, "The Army Commander did not mention the identity of the mastermind, but it's not hard to guess … For the enemy to be able to grasp the whereabouts of so many Beyond Grade A seeds, their intelligence network is definitely not small. To be able to send out so many Death Warriors, an ordinary organization would not have such ability. Furthermore, the targets they chose were the Beyond Grade A seeds who recently headed to the Flickering World … Their target is obvious, and an advanced civilization is very suspicious.
Although this is a secret operation, the outside world will discover that these Beyond Grade A seeds have gone missing sooner or later. This will probably scare off some people who want to join the association, and their goal will be achieved. "
"Sigh, this is tough." Morgan sighed softly with a bitter expression.
Nero patted his shoulder and comforted him. "Don't worry. With me here, nothing will happen to you."
Morgan nodded before suddenly asking, "By the way, with so many Beyond Grade A seeds joining the army, how will their positions be arranged?"
"This, I'm not too sure. Only a small portion of them will be Black Star Guards, while the rest will take up positions in the various departments of the army to fill in the gaps of the high-level combatants. It's mainly up to you guys, and the army will not force you," Nero guessed.
Morgan's eyes sparkled. "Then, can I choose which Beyond Grade A to follow?"
"Yes, anyone can submit an application, but it depends on whether they choose you or not." Nero nodded. "Who do you want to choose? His Excellency Black Star? The competition over at godfather's side is more intense, and there's a chance of him not being chosen. "
Morgan hurriedly denied and said with embarrassment, "No, no, I don't want to follow Black Star. I want to follow Her Excellency Aurora."
Nero sized him up and suddenly came to a realization.
Ah, I understand now. This b * stard is definitely extremely afraid of death, so he wants to follow Aurora and enjoy her everywhere. It will be difficult for him to die in the future.
Coward, as expected of you!
…
"Reporting, we have lost contact with another six Death Warriors. They might have been captured by the enemy, and all communications have been cut off."
"Reporting, the attack on Target 045 has failed. Three Death Warriors were sacrificed, and the rest escaped with difficulty."
In a certain secret intelligence processing center, a large number of intelligence personnel sat in front of various devices and reported the situation nonstop. The room was extremely lively.
The wall of the room was a huge screen that was pieced together by many small surveillance screens. There was a single chair at the bottom of the screen. At this time, a tall and thin figure was sitting on the chair with his back facing everyone. He looked up at the surveillance screens.
This was a secret department that the Supercluster Alliance had jointly created many years ago. It did not have a specific name and was extremely mysterious. Furthermore, its authority was extremely high, and it was directly responsible for the leaders of the various civilizations.
This secret department was responsible for formulating and leading extremely secretive operations. At the same time, it trained secret Death Warriors. The various Supercluster Civilizations would secretly select talented children and send them to various secret training bases. They would undergo cruel training from a young age and specialize in carrying out shady missions in the future.
The training method of this department was to squeeze out potential, and together with the top technology and magic industry technology, it would constantly spoil the growth of seedlings, causing the elimination rate and mortality rate to be extremely high. However, it could indeed effectively increase the birth rate of Calamity Grade Supers and shorten the time needed to develop them to a certain extent.
These Death Warriors would not know who they were working for from the training period to the future missions. For certain purposes, this department even specially trained a group of special Death Warriors who thought that they were working for the three Universal Civilizations. They used many methods to ensure that outsiders would not be able to track down the Supercluster Civilizations through the Death Warriors.
All the personnel in the department were special members who were not recorded in the internal files. They were all called by code names. The tall and thin figure in the room was the person in charge of this secret department. No one knew his name or resume. They only called him by his code name, "Bone Man."
Hearing his subordinate's report, the skeleton leaned forward and put his hand on his nose.
"It seems like those Beyond Grade As have noticed our hunting operation and assigned guards to all the targets … The chain of suspicion has been formed, and our goal has been achieved. Continuing will only be a waste of manpower. Stop the operation and tell everyone to retreat."
"Understood!"
Everyone immediately obeyed the order and didn't ask any questions.
The Bone Man bit his nails and narrowed his eyes. The wrinkled corners of his eyes were squeezed together.
"Hehe, the reaction of the Beyond Grade A Association is indeed as expected …"
…
In the joint conference room of the three Universal Civilizations, the projections of Marbruce, Louis, and the Ethereal Pope were gathered together for a meeting.
"Tsk, the situation has changed. The elimination plan can't continue."
Marbruce frowned, and the expressions of the other two did not look too good either.
Although they had started to study the Sanctum Revival, the three Universal Civilizations also had plans to hunt Beyond Grade A seeds. This was because even if they mastered the Sanctum Revival in the future, since this large number of existing Beyond Grade A seeds had already been invested in the association, they would not turn to them in the future. Both sides were destined to enter a long-term phase of snatching talents. Therefore, they would return to the problem of there being too many non-direct Beyond Grade As. It was better to curb the total number of Beyond Grade As in advance.
However, before they took action, the three Universal Civilizations discovered that these targets were all protected.
At first, the three of them were a little confused. They thought that Black Star had predicted their actions, and the boat of trust between the two sides had indeed capsized.
However, after careful investigation, they realized that an unknown organization had taken action first and alerted the enemy.
This directly disrupted the plans of the three Universal Civilizations, which disgusted them greatly.
Originally, the plan of the three Universal Civilizations was to mobilize manpower, monitor the routes of all the neutral Beyond Grade A seeds heading to the Flickering World through their powerful intelligence network, and secretly ambush them. When everyone was in place, they would eliminate these Beyond Grade A seeds at the same time, not giving the outside world any time to react.
This kind of hunting plan to alert the enemy was not a method they would adopt at all. If they were going to do it, they would of course kill them all in one fell swoop, and there would be no evidence.
Although they had not found out who the organization was for the time being, even if the three Universal Civilizations used their butts to think, they knew that it was most likely the Supercluster Alliance.
"The Supercluster deliberately alerted the enemy, giving the association time to react. This is to make the first move and predict our actions," Louis said angrily.
"Unexpected, but reasonable." The Ethereal Pope was expressionless.
In the eyes of the three of them, the Supercluster Alliance's intention was obvious. By alerting the enemy, they would create suspicion between the association and the three Universal Civilizations, intensifying the conflict.
The Beyond Grade A Association only protected them in the dark and did not publicly accuse them. If the three Universal Civilizations took the initiative to clarify, it would instead make them look like they were trying to hide something. Furthermore, even if they framed the Supercluster Alliance, in the eyes of the association, it would most likely be the usual way to shift the blame. There were simply too many precedents …
With the current relationship between the three Universal Civilizations and the association, this was like yellow mud falling into one's pants. No matter what, it was still sh * t. No matter what, it would be very difficult to gain their trust, unless there was solid evidence.
Furthermore, in the plan, if they were exposed, they already had the intention of shifting the blame to the Supercluster. Now that the Supercluster had made the first move, they probably predicted this point as well. Since they were going to be slandered anyway, they might as well seize the initiative and interfere with the possible plans of the three Universal Civilizations, helping the association gain more talents.
The Supercluster had been tricked many times, so they were already experienced. Since there was no more room for their reputation to fall, they might as well go all out.
I'll pull you down the cliff with me. If we die, we die together. Let's see how you're going to scheme against me!
Furthermore, in the current situation, the Supercluster Alliance was really not afraid of the three Universal Civilizations framing them. They were like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water at all.
Since they no longer had a chance in the Flickering World, they might as well hide at home and not go out. If they have the guts, start an all-out war and hit them. Can they really kill them?
The three of them were indeed a little annoyed by the Supercluster Alliance.
If they had gotten rid of these Beyond Grade A seeds who had joined the association and established their dominance, it would have been fine even if they were suspected. After all, there would be no evidence. However, they had only killed a few people and had already taken the blame. This was a bit of a loss.
"Cancel the plan to eliminate the Beyond Grade A seeds. They're all protected. There's no chance now."
The three of them were not in a good mood.
