In a military restricted zone in the Black Star Corps' territory.
In the bright galaxy, two gigantic Mechanical Deities were colliding like galactic beasts in close combat. With every collision, electric arcs flashed, sparks flew, and shockwaves kept bursting out like endless ripples.
Bang!
Among them, the black and gold Mechanical Deity had a thick psionic shield and collided with the opponent's abdomen, causing light to splatter everywhere. Taking advantage of this collision, it opened up a small distance, and countless beams of light shot out from the densely packed muzzles on its shoulders, condensing into a dazzling golden beam of light that pushed the opponent away.
The Mechanical Deity that was sent flying rolled in the galaxy for a while before quickly stabilizing its body. Its flickering shield blocked the attack, and it was not injured.
"You've recovered well."
The black and gold Mechanical Deity did not chase after it. Its body opened and closed like scales, and it put its weapon back into its body. It then spoke in the channel. It was Han Xiao himself.
The other Mechanical Deity was Herberlon. Hearing this, it stopped, stretched its shoulder axle, and said with a muffled voice,
"This configuration still needs to be re-adjusted. The power is not enough."
After waking up and proving the existence of the World Tree, Herberlon had repaired its body with Han Xiao's help, recovered its combat strength, added various weapons, and formed different equipment configurations. From time to time, it would spar with Han Xiao to test the combat ability of various configurations.
"I think this melee equipment combination suits you quite well. Just add a few more sets of reactor modules. Although you can't beat me, it shouldn't be a problem for you to fight on par with the Mecha Empire."
Han Xiao smiled.
To him, sparring with Herberlon was a good leisure activity. He could relax his body and mind while building machinery. After all, most Beyond Grade As could not stand his size, and Herberlon's size was about the same as his. At the same time, it was also resistant to beatings and could fight freely. It was a good combat opponent.
Although Herberlon had been defeated by the World Tree before, it was still one against many, and its strength could not be underestimated. After recovering its combat strength, it would definitely enter the first echelon of the explored universe's Beyond Grade As, and it would even be at the top level. It would be a strong help.
Hearing this, Herberlon disarmed himself, removed a metal tube from the arm armor groove, and casually threw it to Han Xiao, saying, "Another mutated vehicle."
Han Xiao took the metal tube and looked at it. He sensed some special structure from it. He nodded and put it away.
Although he was also an active Mechanical Deity now, that was the result of a trick and did not completely replicate the uniqueness of Herberlon.
Herberlon's body was very strange. It was a combination of flesh and blood life forms and mechanical life forms. Mechanical parts that had been configured for a long time had a chance of naturally mutating like biological tissues, turning into special equipment similar to the accompanying weapons of Apostle Weapons. Their effects were strengthened.
A body like Herberlon's was a treasure in the eyes of the average person. Any piece of it contained amazing technical content. However, Han Xiao only needed the mutation module. He asked Herberlon to dig out the mutated body tissue from time to time and give it to him for research. This was one of the rewards for debugging the body.
After doing all this, Herberlon asked, "How is your contact with the World Tree now?"
"It's alright. We've obtained a lot of secrets. For the time being, we'll hold back and accumulate strength …"
Han Xiao briefly explained the situation of him stealing the World Tree's secrets and his current strategic plan. This was the information that he had agreed to share when he invited Herberlon to fight against the World Tree.
Hearing that the three Universal Civilizations had the advantage of intelligence with Han Xiao's help, Herberlon hesitated for two seconds and could not help but say,
"The three Universal Civilizations are really lucky to have someone like you …"
If one were to ask Herberlon what he was feeling now, it would be envy and jealousy.
The Karma Republic that he was in only reacted when the World Tree Civilization came knocking on their door. They were caught off guard and were defeated easily. He could not help but envy the explored universe for having Black Star. If the Karma Republic also had Black Star's help, at least they would not have lost without any resistance …
Herberlon had mixed feelings and said dejectedly,
"Unfortunately, we don't have such luck. We can't have someone like you."
"Cough, it's not that bad …"
Han Xiao was speechless.
We were just chatting, why did you suddenly start bragging? Did I ask you to brag?
Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, his communicator suddenly beeped.
He took it out and saw that it was a message from Oathkeeper.
[Destiny's Child's surveillance has discovered something. Come quickly!]
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and immediately lost the mood to chat.
He casually said goodbye to Herberlon, then changed into the King and teleported to the Holy Covenant organization.
His vision blurred, and he arrived at Destiny's Child's laboratory. This time, Oathkeeper was waiting for him in the room.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Han Xiao glanced at Destiny's Child, walked to Oathkeeper, and asked directly.
"There's a change in the situation. Take a look."
Oathkeeper's expression was solemn, and he was not in the mood to joke.
Han Xiao turned around and connected with Destiny's Child mentally. Information flowed into his mind, and his expression changed.
"The World Tree exploration team has obtained our coordinates?"
This information was a little unexpected, and Han Xiao's mood immediately became solemn.
Destiny's Child's surveillance came from the information exchange when the sub-body activated its foresight ability. The intelligence obtained this time was that an exploration team of the World Tree had found the coordinates of a new unknown civilization. The World Tree used all the information this exploration team had as a medium for foresight and organized a large number of diviners to activate their abilities. Thus, Destiny's Child knew about the exploration team's situation.
Therefore, Han Xiao saw in the intelligence that the World Tree exploration team had discovered a group of Kunde Race members, as well as the information they had obtained. The coordinates pointed to the old site of the Kunde Race civilization, which was in the middle of the Flickering World.
The surveillance intelligence showed the origin of this group of Kunde Race members. They were the survivors of the war. Although the refugees knew almost nothing about the galactic society, causing the World Tree to be unsure if this unknown civilization was the same as the outsiders who were spying on them, exposing the coordinates was an extremely dangerous matter. The World Tree would definitely investigate it thoroughly. By then, they would naturally be able to find out the details of the three Universal Civilizations.
"There's actually such a thing …"
Han Xiao frowned.
In his previous life, the World Tree's invasion had been devastating, and they had come prepared. It was obvious that the exploration team had discovered the three Universal Civilizations early on, but they had been secretly stealing information until they were ready.
No one knew when the World Tree first discovered the three Universal Civilizations, but to Han Xiao, it did not make sense for it to be so early. It was most likely a butterfly effect. Because of his influence, the number and trajectory of the Kunde Race refugees had changed, and they had coincidentally bumped into the World Tree exploration team.
Without the coordinates, it would be difficult to find something in a house. If they knew the location, the efficiency would increase countless times, not to mention the vast galactic universe. The same logic applied to the World Tree exploration team. In his previous life, the exploration team was most likely searching aimlessly, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and coincidentally came to the explored universe. Now that they had the navigation coordinates, they could directly head in that direction. They would definitely arrive at the explored universe much earlier, exposing the three Universal Civilizations in advance.
"What do you plan to do?"
Oathkeeper asked with a deep voice when he saw Han Xiao's expression changing.
Han Xiao came back to his senses and frowned.
"If that's the case, we can only interfere. We can't sit back and watch the World Tree find us so easily."
Destiny's Child's surveillance showed the current location of the exploration team. The only thing they could do now was to intercept the exploration team halfway and try their best not to let the World Tree find out about the strength of the three Universal Civilizations. They had to buy some time for the three Universal Civilizations to mobilize openly and officially enter war mode to face the enemy.
However, no matter what, the World Tree had already obtained the coordinates, and finding the Flickering World was a foregone conclusion. Even if they destroyed this exploration team, there would still be an endless stream of reinforcements.
"I thought there was still a lot of time, but plans can't keep up with changes …"
Thinking of this, Han Xiao shook his head helplessly.
It was not easy to convince the three Universal Civilizations to listen to his suggestion and reduce their contact with the World Tree Civilization, leaving more time for the secondary dimension expedition team. However, unexpected factors made things go contrary to his wishes. The Kunde Race Civilization had once been destroyed by the dynasty, and now, the refugees had brought an even greater disaster to the three Universal Civilizations. It was like a cycle of reincarnation, and no one could blame anyone.
With a sigh, Han Xiao collected his emotions and calmed himself down.
No matter what, it had already happened. He could only think of a way to deal with it and accept reality.
…
"The World Tree has already discovered our coordinates?"
In the meeting room of the three Universal Civilizations, the three of them were shocked when they received Han Xiao's information.
"It's like this …"
Han Xiao explained the whole story. After he left the Holy Covenant, he immediately informed the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations to share this sudden information.
After hearing the explanation, the three of them had solemn expressions.
The three of them did not have much thoughts about the Kunde Race refugees leaking the secret. At most, they would curse them for being unlucky, but they were more glad that Han Xiao had a surveillance channel to discover the World Tree's movements this time.
After all, they did not have a perverted Information Form warning network like the World Tree. If they were infiltrated, they would be completely undetectable.
After thinking for a while, Marbruce spoke with a serious tone.
"Black Star, I'll leave the exploration team to you … Everyone, from now on, we have to enter a state of war."
