Kernid slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was a transparent light screen. Outside was a space similar to a prison. There were translucent individual cells, and almost every cell had a resident.
He was one of them.
This was the headquarters prison of Shana and the others, used to lock up the targets on the list.
All the prisoners had special mechanical rings on their wrists and ankles to restrict the abilities of these Grade A Supers. They were embedded in their hands and feet. The mechanical rings on their wrists used nano-sized probes to follow the blood vessels in their hands and feet, connecting them to the prisoners' hearts, brains, and other vital points. The mechanical rings on their ankles were Super Gene Suppressors, which reduced their recovery speed.
They also wore collars on their necks, which were engraved with powerful Silence and Weaken enchantments. The strength of the enchantment user was obviously far above them, and the effects lasted for a long time. Every day, the prisoners looked like they had weak kidneys.
Other than that, they were also injected with various drugs to suppress the cells in their bodies from generating energy.
All kinds of confinement methods made these Grade A Supers extremely weak, and their abilities were greatly suppressed.
On the first day he was imprisoned, Kernid was shocked to find that his cellmates were all people who were not below him in terms of status. Many of them were well-known names, but they were all captured and brought here. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Kernid had tried to escape but failed. So many powerful cellmates had not been able to escape, and he was no exception. Furthermore, even if he managed to escape, there were still strong enemies guarding outside. All of this made him feel despair.
After being imprisoned for so many days, he had already given up. He could not escape on his own, so he could only pray that someone would come and save him. However, none of his powerful cellmates came to save him. He could not help but feel that his chances of escaping were slim.
However, in terms of pessimism, he was far from being as pessimistic as his neighbor.
A male Cosmic Human was locked up in a single cell next to him. He had a bitter expression on his face all the time, and his aura was not only melancholic but also depressed. His name was Lagi, and he was a lone Calamity Grade Super. According to him, he had been locked up here for almost ten years, and he was the oldest.
The days of being locked up were very boring. The only entertainment was his cellmates boasting to each other. All of them were geniuses, and their words were pleasant to the ears.
While his fellow prisoners were bragging, as long as Lagi opened his mouth, he would definitely be the one to end the atmosphere.
All of them had once been important figures, but now that they had fallen to their current state, they were all very pessimistic. However, in terms of pessimism, Kernid felt that compared to Lagi, they were all trash.
At this time, the prison door opened, and Albert, Shana, and Eliot walked in. The prisoners who were in a daze started to make a ruckus.
"Let me out! Do you know who I am?!"
"You've provoked someone you shouldn't have. You'll pay the price!"
"What are you trying to do?!"
Many people said angrily. Every time the Watchers came in to patrol, they would threaten them.
The three of them turned a blind eye to it. Today was not a routine inspection of the prisoners. Because Black Star had brought them two losses, Albert decided to be cautious and keep a low profile for a few years. Now, they were preparing to count the prisoners and move them away.
They definitely did not capture these targets to collect stamps. Naturally, they had other intentions. This was not the final destination of these prisoners.
The curses did not stop, but the three of them did not care. They split up and counted the prisoners. Very soon, Shana found Kernid's cell.
Kernid slammed the light screen and said angrily, "I remember you! You're the one who captured me! Just you wait, the Light Rune Civilization will definitely save me! "
Hearing that, Shana sneered. "Still haven't given up? You really think someone will save you? "
At this time, Lagi, who was in the cell next to them, said slowly, "Don't worry, I believe no one will save us. We're dead meat."
Kernid immediately lost his temper. He covered his face with one hand and said, "Whose side are you on?"
Shana was also speechless. This guy had been locked up for almost ten years. He must have gone crazy.
After counting, the three of them prepared to leave. The prisoners were still cursing. Albert paused, turned around, and spoke to everyone.
"I know that you all think you're important figures, but in reality, your positions in the Shattered Star Ring are not even worth mentioning in my eyes. In a few days, I will freeze all of you and send you out of the Shattered Star Ring. You will disappear forever. Your organizations and families will leave you. Fate is waiting for you. "
All the prisoners quietened down. They were angry and unwilling. If what Albert said was true, they, the strong people of the Shattered Star Ring, would really be done for.
Many of them felt despair, and they began to feel uneasy about the future. No one knew what the goal of this organization was.
Lagi sighed and said, "Sigh, I guess they want to use us as experimental materials to study our bodies. When we lose our value, they will dissect all of us, take apart our bones, muscles, and organs, and soak us in containers as specimens. They might even put our names and life experiences on them and store them for others to see. 'Look, this is the developed brain of the Calamity Grade Kernid' or something like that …"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
Kernid's face was purple with question marks. Why don't you talk about yourself?
Albert was silent for a while. He thought about it and decided not to explain.
He said calmly, "Anyway, enjoy your last few days of sobriety. The next time you wake up, you'll already be in a foreign Star Field …"
As soon as he said that …
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded!
The entire prison suddenly shook as if there was an earthquake!
Albert staggered and almost bit his tongue. He asked in shock, "What's going on?"
"There seems to be a situation above!" Eliot said with surprise.
The three of them hurriedly left the prison and closed the door. The other prisoners looked at each other.
"Did someone come to save us?"
Everyone was instantly energized, and hope was ignited.
Lagi had a bitter expression as he slowly said, "Even if there are reinforcements, they might not be the enemy's match. They will be killed instantly. The battleship will be destroyed, and everyone inside will be blown into powder. Your comrades, subordinates, and family might be among them. In the end, they will force you to eat them. They will first break your will, then dissect your body …"
"Shut up!"
…
The shaking continued. Albert and the other two returned to the hall of the headquarters and met up with their other three companions.
"What's going on?"
"There are enemies!"
Albert's face instantly darkened. He walked out of the headquarters with his companions and realized that the ground was tearing apart. A mighty force was digging their headquarters out of the ground.
Two figures were floating in the sky. When Albert and the others saw the two figures clearly, their faces changed, and their minds were in a mess!
Black Star!
Dragon Emperor!
Ames was releasing her Arcana, tearing apart the ground and pulling their headquarters out of the ground.
"Why is he here?"
Albert's eyes widened in shock.
They had just attacked Black Star not long ago, and the other party had already come knocking on their door. Their location was very well hidden. How did Black Star find them?
Eliot's face was filled with disbelief. He did not expect Black Star to appear at all.
He immediately had a thought. He had just returned, and Black Star had already come knocking on his door. Could it be that he had exposed himself in some way?
When he attacked the other party last time, Black Star could only wait. However, after his failure, Black Star came knocking on his door. Even if he did not understand what method Black Star used, he could only blame himself. There was no other explanation.
Could it be that letting him escape was also part of Black Star's plan?
Eliot was shocked. He suddenly felt ashamed of being schemed against. Thinking back to how he had escaped from Black Star's ambush, he only felt that he was an idiot. He did not realize that something was wrong. Black Star had set up a long line to catch a big fish.
Shana was in an extremely bad mood. She felt that the source of all this was the failure of her first attack. If she had not acted alone and had patiently cooperated with her companions, they would have been able to take down the other party in the first attack. Black Star would have been their prisoner long ago.
Albert forced himself to calm down. He knew that Black Star was a dangerous person, but he did not expect Black Star's thunderous counterattack to be so fast and create such a huge crisis for them.
The Dragon Emperor was obviously Black Star's helper. Facing a Beyond Grade A, he did not have any confidence, but he did not despair.
"Don't panic. Although the opponent is a Beyond Grade A, we still have a glimmer of hope. Although we are no match for the Dragon Emperor, we can at least stall her for a while. Eliot, whether we can escape or not depends on you. We will create an opportunity for you to cast your spell," Albert said.
At this juncture, he could not care less about the prisoners. He was in danger himself, so he could only give up on what he had gained over the years.
He had to protect himself first. He would answer to his superiors later!
Eliot looked like he was facing a great enemy. "I understand!"
At this time, Han Xiao took a deep breath and said with a deep voice.
"Everyone, come here!"
Hum!
The next moment, countless streams of light streaked across the sky and hovered above Han Xiao's head.
The densely packed fleet covered the sky, and countless cannons were aimed at the six of them. All the Calamity Grade Supers had arrived, sealing off all routes and surrounding the six of them.
Albert and the others were dumbfounded. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
How did Black Star … bring so many people?
"Attack!"
Han Xiao did not say anything and called for everyone to attack together.
Villains died because they talked too much. He was not interested in talking to the enemy. After taking them all down, there would be plenty of time to talk.
"Run!"
Albert screamed in anguish.
Seeing so many enemies, his last hope was shattered, and only despair was left.
Eliot was sweating profusely. He hurriedly wanted to cast a teleportation spell, but just as he created a space vortex, the teleportation gate that had worked so well suddenly became unstable. The magic structure was messed up, and the teleportation gate that had not yet formed dissipated.
Not far away, a Grade A Mage in a red robe had blue magic light in his eyes, and the staff in his hand was shining brightly.
Spell Counter!
At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of Eliot, Shana, and Albert.
