Since the enemy's target was him, Han Xiao felt that the other party should have measures to confirm his return. The most likely method was to plant spies in Black Star City. The people of Blue Star would not be able to discover any traces of the enemy. With the ability of a Calamity Grade, toying with a surface civilization was as simple as eating and drinking. Of course, the prerequisite was that the surface civilization did not study psionic energy.
With the financial support of the galactic financial groups, Blue Star was developing toward the galactic era. In a few years, they might be able to build a stable galactic travel vehicle and colonize other uninhabited planets. However, for now, Blue Star was still considered a surface civilization. In the vast universe where there were many organizations, they were just a small fry and did not have much resistance against a Calamity Grade.
The officials who came to welcome him all had green names and did not have any red names that represented the enemy. However, Han Xiao would not completely rely on the identification function of the interface. In his previous life, there were some special abilities that could ignore the identification of hostility. His [Observer's Mark] could be considered one of those abilities.
Han Xiao's expression was normal, but he remained vigilant. From now on, the enemy could attack at any time.
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao obtained the general information from Bennett. He smiled and said, "I already understand the situation. There's no need to give the Six Nations time to prepare. I'll go and have a chat with them now."
Then, without waiting for a reply, moving mechanical parts covered his entire body in the blink of an eye, forming the Mountain Ape mechanical suit. A blue flame spurted out from its back, and Han Xiao took off from the tarmac, breaking through the sound barrier. He turned into a small black dot and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bennett's expression relaxed. With Black Star as his pillar of support, he felt much more at ease.
…
Traveling within the planet's atmosphere with the efficiency of the galactic engine, the wilderness, mountains, and other sceneries receded rapidly below him. Han Xiao left behind a dark blue trajectory across the sky, with the planet as the axis. Even in broad daylight, it was very eye-catching. Wherever he passed, many residents on the surface looked up and saw this blue trajectory that did not disappear for a long time.
Not long after, Han Xiao passed through the clouds and stopped in the sky above the capital of Stardragon.
Looking at the familiar layout of the city, Han Xiao was slightly absent-minded. Scenes flashed through his mind as if it was just yesterday. Unknowingly, almost ten years had passed. This was the city where he had made his fortune.
After thinking about it, Han Xiao did not hide his whereabouts and swaggered into the city streets. Not far away, there was a group of people demonstrating. When they saw Black Star, their faces were filled with fanaticism. Not only were they not afraid, they even cheered for Han Xiao.
"Wife, look! It's Black Star!"
"Great, please stop our government!"
"Black Star, those officials don't represent us. We all support you. No one wants to be your enemy!"
The crowd was in an uproar as they squeezed over. Everyone was talking at once, and it was extremely chaotic. However, Han Xiao still understood what these commoners meant.
Because he had resolved the Mutation Disaster, Han Xiao's reputation in Blue Star far exceeded that of the Six Nations. He was an existence akin to a great man, and every Blue Star citizen worshipped him.
"I guess I can be considered to have won the hearts of the people."
Han Xiao felt weird. It was not uncomfortable, but he did not enjoy the feeling of being loved by the people. After all, his goal this time was not only to resolve the trap set by the hunters but also to destroy the Six Nations' government and unify the Blue Star Civilization.
However, with my reputation being so high, things will be much easier.
Han Xiao nodded to himself. Without greeting him, he left in a flash. After flying over half of the city, Han Xiao landed in an alley.
It would have been fine if he had not returned, but since he was back, Han Xiao went to take a look at the machinery repair shop that he had once worked in.
During the Mutation Disaster, the city was in chaos. For safety, many people had chosen to leave the city and wander around. Lu Qian had also disappeared without a trace and could not be contacted. This shop had long been closed, and there were traces of destruction everywhere.
Now that three years had passed, this repair shop had become even more dilapidated, and no one had returned.
Han Xiao shook his head. With Old Man Lu's protection, Lu Qian should not have died in the Mutation Disaster. She might have already settled down in another city and would not return. Since she did not come to find him, there was no need for him to disturb her.
After taking a look at the old place, Han Xiao moved again and flew toward the Dragon Horn Building where the Stardragon government was located. He wanted to meet the leader of Stardragon personally.
The Dragon Horn Building was extremely eye-catching, and Han Xiao quickly arrived at his destination. He hovered in midair and looked down with a playful expression.
The ground around the building cracked open, revealing tunnels that led deep into the ground. An armored army appeared from within, and all sorts of guns and cannons were aimed at Han Xiao.
The underground of the Dragon Horn Building was a military base. When Han Xiao first appeared in the crowd, the Stardragon military had already received the news. Because Han Xiao had appeared too suddenly, Stardragon did not have the time to fire any missiles and could only respond hastily.
Han Xiao's strength had long entered the galactic level, and the armored army on the ground was not even enough to scratch his itch. These high-quality firearms were already crude equipment in his eyes.
Han Xiao shook his head, reached out, and grabbed. Forked Mechanical Force bolts of lightning shot out.
Crack — —
The tanks and cannons on the ground were instantly pulled up by the magnetic force and disintegrated into parts. This army was instantly wiped out by him, and only the helpless soldiers were left on the ground.
"The welcome ceremony was not warm enough."
Han Xiao had a helpless expression. He felt like he was bullying a little kid … but the feeling of bullying noobs was indeed not bad.
With his current strength, sweeping through the Six Nations would be a piece of cake for him. He felt no pressure at all.
…
Below the Dragon Horn Building, the Stardragon leader had already hidden in the safe house with the help of the army. He only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after closing the thick alloy door.
The specially made safe house was like a super safe. It was extremely thick and could not be destroyed by missiles at all.
"How's the armored army?"
The Stardragon leader hurriedly asked the military member beside him.
"They're all wiped out. Black Star only raised his hand."
"How can he be so strong!" The Stardragon leader took a deep breath.
Before he finished, a loud bang came from the door of the safe house.
Boom!
With a flash of psionic energy, a hole was blown out in the safe house that was said to be able to withstand missiles. Han Xiao walked straight in. Through the hole, the people in the safe house could see countless soldiers lying on the ground behind Han Xiao, screaming in pain.
Han Xiao was not in the mood to engage in a massacre. He casually knocked down the soldiers who came to stop him. He controlled his strength and barely managed to injure them but not kill them. This was like a normal person trying to kill a mosquito but asking not to kill it.
"We meet again." Han Xiao looked at the Stardragon leader.
"How … how did you get in?" The Stardragon leader was shocked.
"Hmm?"
Han Xiao heard this and frowned. He felt that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, the leaders of the Six Nations should have known his strength very well. How could they suspect that he could not break into the safe house? However, the shock on the Stardragon leader's face did not seem fake.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and punched the wall of the safe house beside him.
Rumble!
The entire safe house shook. Everyone in the safe house lost their balance and fell to the ground. They were slightly injured.
The interface instantly received a large amount of combat information. Han Xiao immediately opened the interface to take a look.
Everyone's level was far lower than his. Their attributes were clearly visible.
[Memory Tampered]: This person's memory has been tampered with. His understanding of the world is distorted. Remaining time: 2 days 13 hours.
"So that's what happened …"
Han Xiao finally understood. This was the reason why the Six Nations had betrayed him.
This was undoubtedly the work of those hunters. He did not know what kind of memories the enemy had instilled in the leaders of the Six Nations. They seemed to have forgotten his strength. It was no wonder they would resist so childishly and even try to take back power from him and overthrow Bennett's organization.
A person's personality was determined by their past experiences. Once their memory was changed, their personality would also be distorted. Some Psychics or Espers with special techniques could do something similar. There was definitely someone like that among the enemy.
This method was ineffective against the strong. The stronger the Super, the more resilient their mind would be. However, Blue Star had only been in contact with the Super system for a few decades. The strongest Super was only Grade C. In front of a Calamity Grade, he was still a weakling that could be easily crushed.
The change in memory was rather subtle. Other than Supers with psychic abilities, it would be very difficult for the other classes to discover what had been done to these officials.
However, this did not include Han Xiao.
"The enemy probably thought that I was a Mechanic and would not be able to discover their methods."
Han Xiao chuckled in his mind.
Since the enemy had the ability to change memories, there was no point in dealing with these officials. After all, the enemy could change their memories.
Han Xiao suddenly had an idea.
"This ability has to be used at close range, not too far away. These officials only have two and a half days left. At that time, the enemy in the dark will definitely appear and tamper with their memories again … Heh, I will be able to follow the clues and find their location."
Han Xiao's brows relaxed. He threw an Observer's Mark at the Stardragon leader and acted as if he did not know anything about the memory tampering. He acted as if he was' supposed 'to and threatened the Stardragon leader to stop his declaration of war.
The officials present had forgotten about Han Xiao's strength and were 'frightened' by him. Under Han Xiao's threat, they gave in and gave the order to release all the arrested officials.
Han Xiao saw a familiar face, Gu Hui. However, he only glanced at him and did not have any intention of greeting him. Now that the enemy was hiding in the dark, it was not the time to catch up.
After making sure that the Stardragon leader completed the order, Han Xiao turned around and left the Stardragon capital.
The Stardragon leader and the other officials were in disbelief. It was over just like that? They thought that they were dead for sure.
The arrested officials, including Gu Hui, were glad that Han Xiao did not kill them. Such a gentle method was clearly giving them a chance.
Because of this wrong decision, Gu Hui and many other officials made up their minds to impeach the current leader. They could not let such a lunatic continue to lead the country.
…
Han Xiao then visited the remaining five countries and completed his physical persuasion.
His [Observer's Mark] only had five slots. The mark that he had thrown to Lagi earlier had already been extinguished by Austin, and he had completed his mission.
With his Promotion imminent, Han Xiao was not stingy with the slots. He changed all the targets and threw them to the leaders of the five countries. He then returned to Black Star City and waited for the harvest of the Observer's Mark. This required patience just like fishing.
What surprised him was that the enemy in the dark did not attack him during this period. He did not know what they were waiting for. Could it be that they were observing him?
After all, with Albert as an example, the enemy might be very cautious and was confirming whether he had really fallen into a trap.
A few hours later, the Six Nations revoked the declaration of war at the same time. Countless people were overjoyed and celebrated.
However, before they could finish celebrating, in just a short day, everyone was stunned by the Six Nations' actions.
Just yesterday, the Six Nations had revoked the declaration of war, and today, they directly launched intercontinental missiles at Black Star City!
It was as if the compromise the day before was just to gain some time to breathe.
Most of the missiles were intercepted in the air. Black Star City's galactic protective shield blocked a small portion of the missiles that escaped, so there were no casualties. However, everyone in Black Star City was furious at the treacherous Six Nations.
Even the people of the Six Nations could not believe this.
Have our government officials really gone mad?!
Are they not courting death? Do they really want Black Star to kill us?
Are they asking for a beating?
Han Xiao was not angry at all. For such a situation to occur, it was obvious that the enemy had tampered with the memories of the leaders of the Six Nations again. The political struggles of the surface civilizations were no different from child's play in the eyes of a Calamity Grade.
However, the good thing was that he did not have to wait for two days before the Observer's Mark had a harvest.
Through spying, an enemy had appeared.
"These people have finally shown themselves."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
…
After a day, Gu Hui, who had not had the time to take action, was locked up in a cell again.
The second time he was locked up, he was not angry but did not know whether to laugh or cry.
What was this?
Did the leaders think that national affairs were child's play and that they could do whatever they wanted?
Gu Hui naturally did not know that the memories of those upper echelons had been tampered with. He was completely speechless toward these former colleagues of his.
