Planet Golden Gate, Black Star Base No.1, Logistics Department …
Hum hum hum!
In the endless military factory, all sorts of production lines were running endlessly. Mechanical parts were being assembled into all sorts of equipment by countless mechanical arms, and Mechanics were walking around the assembly lines, making adjustments at any time.
At the top of the factory was the main control room, and one could overlook the entire factory. On the alloy table beside the window of the main control room, there were stacks of blueprints that were being flipped by a large hand.
Reynold sat beside the table with his back straight as he flipped through the blueprints with a serious expression.
At this moment, the door of the main control room was pushed open, and Sylvia ran in with a face full of joy.
"Hey, I have good news!"
Reynold reluctantly moved his gaze away from the blueprints and looked at Sylvia. "Senior Sister, please speak."
Sylvia was already used to Reynold's serious personality and had learned to selectively ignore him. She raised her hand, and a ball of flickering Mechanical Force was trapped in her palm.
"Hehe, I've already reached Grade B. Isn't that amazing?" Sylvia was excited and proud.
"Amazing." Reynold was expressionless and even clapped his hands a few times.
Seeing this, Sylvia felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. She had an embarrassed look on her face, as though she was showing off in front of an expert. She felt that what she was proud of might not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the Calamity Grade Reynold.
However, she could not help but share her joy. Han Xiao had brought a bunch of old officers out to fight, and the only one left who was closest to her was Reynold, who was in the Logistics Department. She would often ask Reynold for advice. Although Reynold was her junior brother in name, he was actually Han Xiao's teaching assistant.
Sylvia could not suppress the excitement of crossing the threshold of Grade B. She was embarrassed for a while and became happy again. With a longing expression, she could not help but say, "Teacher will definitely be very happy after hearing this news. He has always had high hopes for me …"
She did not say the last sentence. Most importantly, Han Xiao had promised her that as long as she became a Grade B Super, she would be able to focus on actual combat and would not have to do homework every day.
I'm free!
I, Sylvia, am happy!
After being happy for a while, Sylvia realized that Leonard was not talking. She looked up and found that although Leonard was facing her, his eyes were secretly glancing at the drawings on the table. He seemed to be fascinated by them.
Is it so boring to talk to me …? Sylvia was annoyed. She snapped her fingers and pretended to be angry. "Stop looking, I'm talking to you!" She said, "Don't look. I'm talking to you!"
Leonard turned back and pretended that nothing had happened. "Well, you're right."
"Wow, you're being too perfunctory …" Sylvia gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down. She took out her communicator and said,
"By the way, Teacher has done something big again recently. Look, the entire Star Field is talking about him on various platforms. They all say that he has the highest chance of becoming the next Beyond Grade A in the Shattered Star Ring. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Teacher to be so powerful. If he really becomes someone on the level of the Dragon Emperor, as his apprentices, maybe …"
After pausing for a while, Sylvia suddenly realized that Leonard did not respond again. She looked up again and saw that Leonard's eyes had drifted to the drawings on the table again.
"Why are you still peeking?"
Sylvia was furious. Her chest heaved up and down violently, and she snapped her fingers even harder.
Could it be that a beauty like me is not as attractive as a boring drawing?
"No, I'm listening to you."
Leonard coughed and took the communicator from Sylvia's hand. He glanced at the news on it, and his face became serious again. He muttered to himself, "Black Star … Beyond Grade A seed …"
Seeing that Leonard was deep in thought, Sylvia's anger dissipated, and a smug expression appeared on her exquisite and beautiful oval face. She looked lively and lively.
As Han Xiao's secretary, she knew that Leonard's contract was about to end. For the sake of the Black Star Corps, she felt that she had to let Leonard stay.
According to her understanding of Leonard, this person's desire to learn had even exceeded his physical desire. Sylvia felt that the best way was to constantly remind him that her teacher was getting stronger and stronger, and let him know how outstanding her teacher was. Only then would Leonard have a chance to continue learning from Black Star and working for the army.
Although Sylvia did not really want to share her teacher with Leonard, for the sake of the army … she decided to bear the pain.
"Beyond Grade A … Beyond Grade A …"
Leonard muttered to himself. He usually had a serious face, but at this moment, he had a worried expression.
"Maybe Black Star can solve this problem completely …"
"What?" Sylvia did not understand.
"… Nothing."
Reynold came back to his senses and became serious again.
…
At the same time, in the training camp of Black Star Base No.1.
Brock put down the communicator that was broadcasting the news with a gloomy expression. He picked up the wine glass, wanting to take a sip of the smoke wine to calm himself down, but he realized that his hand was trembling slightly.
He was a remnant of the Dark-star. After the disappearance of the Dark-star leader, he remembered his mission and believed that the leader would definitely return. Thus, he joined the Black Star Corps and hid there, hoping to become an important chess piece for the leader one day. He was currently serving as the training instructor of the base.
In the past few years, Brock had been working diligently, not daring to do anything out of line. He carefully disguised his identity, afraid that he would be suspected. His trust in the leader of the Dark-star was his motivation to persevere.
However, when he saw the news of Han Xiao becoming a Beyond Grade A seed, Brock realized that his belief was shaken.
He could not help but wonder … Was the leader really Black Star's match? Could he really complete his revenge?
Most likely, he would be courting death!
Then, if he stayed in the Black Star Corps as a spy, he might push the leader into the fire pit.
Brock was in a terrible mood. Black Star's overwhelming strength made him feel despair, and he almost could not summon the will to resist.
He secretly made up his mind that if the leader returned one day and contacted him, he would definitely advise the leader not to deal with Black Star. This was even more difficult than dealing with Godora!
…
In a certain Star Field, on a certain civilization planet that was filled with destruction.
Endless flames and black fog burned on the surface of the planet. The earth was shattered, the cities were destroyed, and the people were in a terrible situation.
The fleet that completed the invasion put away their cannons and slowly rose into the air, leaving the atmosphere, leaving behind a nearly destroyed surface civilization planet.
This invasion fleet had a total of three thousand battleships, which was not small.
However, not far from the planet, there was an enormous fleet thousands of times the size of this fleet. The densely packed battleship arrays were almost endless, as though they could fill up this entire space. The three thousand battleships were just a small part of this enormous fleet.
A fleet of this size could even fight a Star Cluster civilization head-on.
The three thousand battleships brought along the spoils of war and gathered with the main fleet, like a drop of water merging into the ocean.
The leading disc-shaped battleship of the small fleet separated from the main fleet and gradually entered the formation of the main fleet, arriving at the center of the enormous fleet.
At the center of the fleet was a planet-grade super-large flagship. In comparison, the disc-shaped battleship was like a rock, while this super-large flagship was like a small mountain.
There was a conspicuous logo painted on the exterior armor of the flagship — a gray hooded man.
The disc-shaped battleship entered the port of the flagship, drove through a long tunnel, and stopped at the hangar, completing the docking.
Chi!
The hatch of the disc-shaped battleship opened, and the Dark-star leader walked out. His eyes were cold as he turned around and waved his hand, getting his subordinates behind him to bring the dozens of weak captives and follow him forward.
After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a huge alloy door. The cyclops guard beside the door saw the dozens of captives behind the Dark-star leader and grinned.
"You're quite fast. Go in, he's waiting for you."
As he spoke, the alloy door slowly opened, and the Dark-star leader calmed himself down and brought his people in. Their eyes suddenly opened up, and the noise and heat wave hit them in the face.
The room was a huge palace, and a banquet was currently being held. There were countless tables filled with delicious food and wine from various races, and it was crowded with people. Countless creatures of various races were eating meat and drinking wine, letting out wanton roars and laughter. There were also dancers of different races wandering in the crowd, and from time to time, they would be violently pulled into the arms of someone and rubbed.
The Dark-star leader even saw someone hugging a dancer in the corner, banging her against the wall, letting out low roars and laughter, blending into the chaotic noise.
The atmosphere was chaotic everywhere, and even though the Dark-star leader had lived here for a few years, he couldn't help but frown, not used to such a stimulating scene.
A drunk orc stumbled over, and the Dark-star leader pushed him away by pressing on his shoulder and strode to the center of the palace. There was a scarlet throne there, carved into the shape of a strange creature, like an unknown ancient god worshipped by some branches of the Arcane Church.
A thin humanoid creature wearing a tattered hood was sitting on the throne. Except for his cheeks, his whole body was wrapped up tightly, and he didn't make any sound. At this time, his head was lowered, and the hood covered his face.
The Dark-star leader came in front of the throne, ignoring the chaos and noise around him, and pointed at the dozens of captives behind him who were frightened by the scene here, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, I've brought a mutant."
As his voice fell, the creature on the throne trembled, as if waking up from a deep sleep. He slowly raised his head, revealing the face under the hood …
Under the hood was a whirlpool-like black fog, and in the center of the whirlpool was a red flashing light spot.
This faceless creature used some unknown method to make a sound, and his voice was hoarse. "Well … done …"
As he spoke, he suddenly twisted his neck, and the black fog under the hood suddenly disappeared, turning into the face of a mixed-race human. There was nothing special about his appearance, and he was ugly.
The hooded man stood up, walked down from the throne, and walked towards the dozens of captives. The Dark-star leader sensibly stepped aside.
He stood in front of the first captive, stared at the terrified eyes of the captive, grinned, and reached out to strangle the captive's neck.
The next moment, the captive's body shriveled, and he turned into a dry body, but he didn't die. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, as if he was squeezed dry.
"Not bad."
The hooded man licked his lips, as if he was savoring the aftertaste. Then, he did the same thing, turning all the captives into dry bodies, and then sat back on the throne, looking at the Dark-star leader with a satisfied look on his face.
"You're good, I like it."
"It's my honor to be of service to you." The Dark-star leader respectfully lowered his head. "According to our agreement, every time I bring an Esper that satisfies you, you will …"
The hooded man waved his hand and interrupted the Dark-star leader. "Got it, I will give you a new fleet. Oh, I have some news here that you might be interested in."
As he spoke, the hooded man's hand shook, and a communicator was spat out from his palm, landing in the hands of the Dark-star leader.
The Dark-star leader opened it, and his expression changed. It was playing the recent rumors about Han Xiao.
"He seems to be the reason why you escaped from the Shattered Star Ring." The hooded man smiled faintly. "He seems to be able to become a Beyond Grade A Super."
The Dark-star leader's expression was ugly. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Thank you for the information."
"You're welcome."
The hooded man smiled, and his tone was quite casual. He then waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. It's rare to have such a good environment, so don't disturb my sleep."
"Yes." The Dark-star leader nodded, turned around, and left with his subordinates. He did not care about the dozens of captives that had been squeezed dry. After all, the chef would come and take care of them later.
Walking out of the palace, the alloy door slowly closed. The Dark-star leader looked back, and through the gap of the door that was about to close, he saw the hooded man lowering his head and entering a sweet dream in the chaotic and crazy environment.
'What a lunatic.'
The Dark-star leader clenched his fists, and a deep sense of fear and dread flashed through his eyes.
The backer behind the scenes had arranged for him to leave the Shattered Star Ring and join the command of this hooded man. This person was the owner of this huge fleet, and at the same time, he was also a terrifying Beyond Grade A Super who wanted to combine the abilities on the Super High Risk Esper Ability Restriction Treaty.
According to the agreement, the Dark-star leader offered Ashes to the hooded man. He still remembered the look of disbelief on Ashes' face when he realized that he had been betrayed.
However, any resistance was futile. The hooded man was very satisfied with this offering, so he signed an agreement with the Dark-star leader. He could provide a fleet, but the Dark-star leader had to give him a satisfactory Esper in exchange.
Thus, the Dark-star leader changed his appearance and temporarily stayed behind. He went on expeditions everywhere, destroying surface civilizations one after another, searching for interesting Esper Abilities. After a few years, he had obtained a large number of battleships and manpower.
Originally, the Dark-star leader wanted to continue accumulating his forces, but Han Xiao's soaring combat strength made him feel pressured.
Looking at this trend, it seemed like Black Star really had a chance to become a Beyond Grade A Super. At that time, it would be useless for him to return. If the Garton Star System was guarded by a Beyond Grade A Super, no one would be able to do anything, and the Dark-star would not have a chance to rise again.
I have to return as soon as possible, or it will be too late.
The Dark-star leader secretly made up his mind. Since Black Star was at war, he could take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.
Furthermore, the Dark-star leader did not dare stay there any longer. In just a few years, he had already been deeply affected by the chaos here. He did not dare imagine if he would become as crazy as the other party if he continued to stay.
This gigantic fleet was a Beyond Grade A organization that migrated everywhere without a fixed residence. The hooded man was the leader of this organization. Among all the Beyond Grade A Supers in the entire universe, he was the most infamous madman and thug!
This place took in the wanted criminals of every Star Field who had nowhere else to go. It was the holy land of all criminals.
This place was … the [Fallen Ark]!
…
Aroshia had also followed Han Xiao out. She was currently in the fleet, following Han Xiao to fish.
In a room without lights, Aroshia hugged her knees and sat in the corner, staring at the darkness in front of her in a daze.
This time, specks of light appeared out of thin air, forming a human figure that illuminated the room. It was Risda.
"It's you." Aroshia was expressionless.
Risda's body trembled, and he spoke.
"That's great. If Black Star becomes a Beyond Grade A Super, he will be able to fight against the Mecha Empire. There will be hope for our people to be saved."
"Oh." Aroshia did not feel much about it.
"However, Black Star might not be willing to fight against the Mecha Empire. You and I have to convince him. He's our greatest hope," Risda said.
Aroshia was silent for a moment before suddenly asking.
"… He might die in battle, right?"
"Everything is possible. Nothing is absolute." Risda shook his head and avoided the topic. "Remember my words."
After saying that, Risda's figure disappeared, and the room returned to darkness.
Aroshia buried her chin between her knees and fell into a daze.
