The violent atmosphere stirred up the black sand in the sky. The high-speed sandstorm that could easily crush steel shrouded the surface of this desolate planet all year round. The harsh environment of the planet did not give birth to any life.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the sandstorm, and a figure appeared out of thin air, falling from the sky and crashing onto the ground.
This person was wearing a mechanical suit that was damaged all over, and he was covered in blood as if he was heavily injured. He struggled to stand up, raised his hand, and flicked out a thin blue energy shield, blocking the high-speed sandstorm around him.
The next second, a few more lights flashed behind him. Pangon and a few other Beyond Grade As chased after him and quickly surrounded him.
Pangon stared at this person coldly, his tone filled with killing intent.
"Kotlin, you betrayed us!"
This Primordial One named Kotlin panted heavily, looked around, and smiled miserably.
They were all Beyond Grade As, and the spatial ripples he left behind through teleportation and hyperdrive were all clues for the other party to track him. He could not get rid of Pangon and the others, and his communicator network was also locked by the Mechanics around Pangon, unable to be unlocked in a short time. For him, there was no way to escape.
Pangon clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "I said what I said.
Our principle is to not involve Black Star and the Holy Covenant as much as possible. You tried to use their information in exchange for the help of the Supercluster Civilization, which has already broken the original agreement. I can only get rid of you! "
He was a little pained, but also a little relieved. Kotlin was a member of the Avengers. He was pained that one of his companions had taken the wrong path, but he was also relieved that he discovered it quickly enough. The other party was still in the probing stage of communication with the Supercluster Civilization, and they did not have a deep cooperation.
Kotlin exhaled and said with a deep voice, "Pangon, you can't not see, right? With our meager manpower, even if we silently develop for a few hundred years, it's basically impossible to complete our revenge plan. Without external help, it's impossible. Following you is just a waste of time!"
Pangon was silent for a moment, then firmly said, "Even if the hope is slim, I will not betray Oathkeeper and Black Star in exchange for help. They carry out the mission of the Holy Covenant, reviving us and giving us a second life. You are being ungrateful!"
"We are all the founders of the Holy Covenant. Without our efforts back then, how could they have mastered the Sanctum Revival? I do owe Oathkeeper, but Black Star … Heh, he's just an opportunist, yet he shamelessly claims to be our benefactor. Didn't he get his current position by using us?! "Kotlin's eyes flickered, but he was not prepared to admit defeat.
"Black Star is fighting for the future of the entire class. Although we're not participating, we can't drag him down. You've crossed the line," another Beyond Grade A coldly said.
Kotlin disagreed and said angrily.
"Bullsh * t class struggle, what does it have to do with me? I only have one goal from the beginning, and that is to avenge my fellow countrymen! For this, I can give up anything, including my life. This time, I don't even think about going back alive! Anyway, I only have one chance to use the Sanctum Revival, and I've already used it up. To me, the Holy Covenant and Black Star are useless!
If they don't affect me, I can give them face and keep their secret for them. However, Black Star's path is obviously to find a way to coexist peacefully with my enemy, the three Universal Civilizations. In the future, he might even show his loyalty and turn around to destroy us! Since he's in my way, he can scram to the side! "
Hearing this, Pangon and the others frowned.
The Primordial Ones had different goals when they created the Holy Covenant. Not everyone wanted to escape the chaos of war. A few like Kotlin and Pangon were worried that they would not be able to continue protecting the civilization after they died in battle, so they invested in the Holy Covenant as insurance.
Pangon shook his head. He felt that there was no point in wasting his breath on Kotlin. This person's heart was completely filled with hatred and could not tolerate anything else. He only wanted to take revenge at all costs and did not care about anything else after he died.
He did not want to waste time criticizing Kotlin's personal choice, so he changed the topic and said coldly, "What benefits did the Supercluster promise you?"
"We haven't finished yet." Kotlin did not hide it.
Only Oathkeeper and Black Star knew how to open the Sanctums, the key formula, and other secrets, and had never been revealed to other revivors. What Kotlin could take out to trade was only superficial information, such as the composition of the Holy Covenant's members, the private agreement between Black Star and the Holy Covenant, and so on. However, it was still very valuable.
Before he reached a suitable condition with the other party, Kotlin was naturally a rare commodity. This was not the first time he had dealt with an organization, so of course, he would not reveal his information for nothing. Otherwise, he would lose the value of the negotiation. Thus, he had not revealed much yet.
Pangon nodded silently. Pugilist flames ignited all over his body as he said coldly, "Okay, then there's nothing more to say. I'll send you on your way personally."
"I don't intend to wait for death. If you want to kill me, then come and try!"
Kotlin did not care about the consumption of his life force and crazily squeezed out his exhausted cells.
The next moment, several figures moved quickly and collided with each other.
Bang!
An intense shockwave swept across the surface of the planet, shattering it inch by inch!
…
In the secondary dimension world, Han Xiao was shuttling at high speed, jumping through secondary dimension after secondary dimension, heading straight for the depths.
After receiving news from Oathkeeper, Han Xiao took the coordinates and left immediately, heading straight for the secondary dimension to track down the spies.
Over the years, Han Xiao had created many new machines. The mechanical suit he was wearing was a model that specialized in moving in secondary dimensions, and its jumping speed was extremely fast.
As for the traitor on Pangon's side, Han Xiao could not care about it for the time being. It was impossible for Pangon and the others to bring a Throne with them, so it was too late for him to go over even if he wanted to. He could only leave it to Pangon to deal with it. Although this person was a little reckless, his strength was not bad.
Moreover, none of the revivors knew the key information such as how to open the Sanctums. Even if it was leaked, the outside world would at most know about the existence of the Holy Covenant and his connection with the Holy Covenant. The problem could still be controlled, and there were pros and cons.
In his previous life, the Holy Covenant should have encountered something similar, but the perpetrator was not anyone from the current revivals. In the Calamity of the Supers version in his previous life, Kotlin acted normally and did not seem to have leaked any information about the Holy Covenant.
"Maybe it's my butterfly effect again. In my previous life, the Sanctum Revival was not exposed, and there was no association, so he made a different choice?"
Han Xiao guessed.
At this moment, a black flame suddenly appeared beside him, turning into Oathkeeper's mental projection. It followed Han Xiao's figure and remained relatively still.
"Black Star, the problem on Pangon's side has been solved. The traitor has been killed."
"Not bad." Han Xiao nodded. "Did you find out the reason?"
"Hmm, Kotlin said so …"
Oathkeeper relayed Pangon's information to him.
After hearing this, Han Xiao nodded silently.
"So that's how it is …"
In his previous life, the Holy Covenant organization had always been hiding in the dark and did not participate in these disturbances. Most of the revivors did not want to be disturbed and were neutral. Now, under his mobilization, many of the revivors had participated in the battle between the Beyond Grade As, causing Kotlin's thoughts to change and no longer keep it a secret.
However, this was a rare situation. Basically, the revivors would not take the risk of leaking information because they knew that once they destroyed the plan of Black Star and the Holy Covenant, they would definitely be hunted down by a large group of revivors. They might even cause Black Star to personally take action and lose their precious' last life '.
People like Kotlin who were ungrateful and did not care about their lives were an exception. The binding of class interests and life safety was enough to suppress the thoughts of most people.
In fact, Law and Fay had privately suggested that Oathkeeper use Soul Flame as a gag order. Although it could not form a strong restriction on the Beyond Grade As, it could sense if the revivors leaked information. However, this suggestion was rejected by Oathkeeper.
Han Xiao also did not agree with this suggestion. If only things were that simple … The Holy Covenant was able to suppress the second batch of revivors because of the support of the first batch of Primordial Ones. They were the founders of the organization. If this suggestion was taken, the nature of the Holy Covenant would change. The revivors would have all run away long ago. They would even take out the main body of Soul Flame from Oathkeeper's body and destroy it on the spot.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Han Xiao shook his head. "It's hard to avoid traitors. Be more careful."
Oathkeeper sighed. "Kotlin, he wasn't like this in the past … Sigh, hatred can always completely change a person. When you revive in the future, don't include him."
"Of course." Han Xiao nodded.
The two of them were the only ones who knew the true mechanism of the Sanctum Revival. After this incident, the two of them had already removed Kotlin's name from the revival list and would not consider reviving him in the future.
This guy thought that he could only revive once and felt that the Holy Covenant and Black Star were of no use to him, so he decided to burn the bridge after crossing the river. Since that was the case, Han Xiao was naturally willing to help the other party's' dream come true 'and make Kotlin's Sanctum Revival really only happen once. He would not know what he had missed!
This time, the mechanical suit's dedicated secondary dimension coordinate tracker suddenly rang and gave a notification.
Han Xiao followed the guidance and jumped through a few more secondary dimensions. He then followed the instructions and entered the space turbulence. After shuttling for a while, he suddenly stopped outside a secondary dimension.
The outer wall of this secondary dimension in front of him was engraved with countless magic circuits and was tightly protected. It was obvious that it was man-made. The coordinates indicated this place.
"… It looks like a Mage Tower in the form of a dimension."
Han Xiao carefully observed the situation around him.
Because of the coordinates given by Oathkeeper, he arrived very quickly this time. The Holy Covenant had already set up countless countermeasures to prevent spying. Once someone tried to spy, they would be tracked in reverse. This kind of magic was similar to the Virtual Technology network tracking.
Han Xiao flew over and placed his palm on the magic circuit barrier of the secondary dimension. He felt an extremely strong repulsion force. The barrier was extremely tough.
"A magic barrier of this level must have been set up by a Beyond Grade A, and not an ordinary Beyond Grade A at that …"
Han Xiao secretly nodded, his eyes flashing.
This meant that the experts in the secondary dimension had most likely observed him but did not come out to greet him or open the entrance to this secondary dimension.
Tsk, are you pretending to be a turtle? Do you think you're safe just because you're hiding in your turtle shell?
"Looks like I'll have to use some brute force."
Han Xiao originally did not want to use force easily, but seeing the other party's performance, he could not help but raise his palm. Psionic energy surged in his palm.
At this time, Han Xiao noticed that the magic barrier of the secondary dimension began to change, revealing a gap.
Hum!
The next moment, a figure flew out of the gap and arrived not far away. This person was wearing a platinum and gold mage robe and a pointed mage hat. He had a long white beard and an extraordinary aura. This appearance was very similar to a famous dual-wielding Berserker Mage.
"Hello, guest from afar …"
A mental message was transmitted to Han Xiao's mind at the same time.
Han Xiao looked over and sized him up. Suddenly, his brows raised, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He recognized this' stranger 'whom he had met for the first time.
So it's this guy … Isn't he the secluded Beyond Grade A who fought guerilla warfare with the World Tree Army in the secondary dimension in my previous life?
