The droplet-shaped spaceship entered the atmosphere and slowly descended. The blazing, cracked magma surface leaped into Sisko's sight.
Sisko had already sensed the location of the Evolution Cube. It was right under the planet. At such a close distance, he could already pinpoint the exact location.
"The coordinates stayed on this planet for a few hours … Did he give up on the Evolution Cube and choose to escape, or did he purposely stay here to meet me?"
Sisko secretly guessed the intentions of the unknown enemy. He felt that the enemy might have set a trap to attack his spaceship so that he would not be able to chase after him. Just in case, he gave up on flying with his physical body and continued to drive the spaceship across the planet, approaching the coordinates.
After flying for a while, the radar suddenly reacted. There was a life signal a few hundred kilometers away. His vision zoomed in, and he could vaguely make out that there were a few hundred mechanical soldiers surrounding a life form as if they were imprisoning it.
"That seems to be Sardeem?" Sisko's eyes flickered. He turned around and quickly arrived above Sardeem.
The mechanical soldiers on the ground raised their cannons and fired at the spaceship above them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
An invisible psychic shield rose, and the space around it twisted like a wall of air. The Psionic Particle Cannons exploded on it one after another.
The explosions continued, but the shield did not budge at all.
The next moment, a pale white psychic shockwave appeared out of nowhere and swept across the ground.
Swoosh!
The few hundred mechanical soldiers below did not have the Mechanical Force bonus, so they were all shattered into parts. The psychic shockwave purposely avoided Sardeem, and he was the only one standing on the spot, surviving.
The Psychic class was the class that specialized in psychic energy. Its forte was psychic attacks, and it also had physical attacks. The Psychic class was to use psychic energy to create energy attacks. It even had the ability to materialize illusions to a certain extent. It was both offensive and defensive.
Sisko used psychic energy to crush the restraining device on Sardeem, then used the spaceship's tractor beam to suck him into the cabin.
"Cough cough … You're finally here!"
Sardeem held onto the cabin door weakly, but his face was filled with excitement.
I'm saved!
A Beyond Grade A is reliable. I was right to believe in Sisko!
"Who's the enemy?" Sisko did not waste any time and directly asked the key question.
"Ba … It's Black Star!"
"Black Star? Where have I heard this name before? Oh, I think it's someone from the Colton Star Cluster. He seems to be active in the secret war. I heard that he provoked the Tyrant. "
"Yes, yes, yes. It's that Beyond Grade A seed, the one who's said to be invincible within the Calamity Grade."
Invincible within the Calamity Grade? So, it was this title that gave him the confidence to challenge a Beyond Grade A?
Sisko shook his head. The Colton Star Cluster was rather far from the territory of the Star Pupil Protoss. He had only heard of Han Xiao but did not pay much attention to him. To him, a Calamity Grade was just a small fry no matter how famous he was.
He was not interested in the secret war. If he had the time, he might as well pay more attention to the fertility problem of the Star Pupil Protoss.
"Your Excellency Sisko, Black Star left me here a few hours ago, so he should still be on this planet. You've exposed yourself by killing this group of mechanical soldiers. It's best to capture Black Star immediately to prevent him from escaping."
Sardeem could not wait to give this suggestion. He could not wait to see Black Star's misfortune.
He could not forget the humiliation of being cuckolded and had always wanted to snatch his army back. Sisko was his current backer, and the way he saw it, a Calamity Grade would never be a match for a Beyond Grade A. No matter how Black Star struggled, he would only be beaten up by Sisko in the end.
Not only am I going to take back my mechanical army, but I'm also going to take back your Mech Legion! Sardeem clenched his teeth and swore in his heart.
"Hmm, you're right. We have to end this quickly." Sisko agreed.
With the positioning system, he was not worried that Black Star would escape. Instead, he was worried that Black Star would find out that he had nowhere to run and destroy the portable device of the Evolution Cube, releasing the Evolution Cube's enormous body here. If that happened, he would need to mobilize the manpower and resources of the Star Pupil Protoss to transport the Evolution Cube back. He hated this kind of trouble.
Just as he was about to pilot the spaceship over, the position of the Evolution Cube in his senses suddenly moved and rapidly flew in his direction. Very soon, a black dot grew larger at the edge of his vision.
Rumble!
The rapidly approaching black figure flew across the ground, stirring up a howling wind. The flowing magma on the surface seemed to have been shaken by the shockwave and splashed up like mini magma tsunamis.
The next moment, the black figure stopped in midair not far away and faced Sisko's spaceship.
"That's Black Star!" Sardeem pointed outside the porthole and shouted.
"He actually found me himself …"
Sisko was a little surprised. He roughly understood what the other party was trying to do. He wanted to negotiate with him.
His eyes were fixed on the small cube around Han Xiao's neck. Through the positioning system, he knew that it was the mini portable Evolution Cube.
Hum!
Without waiting for Han Xiao to open his mouth, Psyker had already made his move. His psychic energy surged out and attacked Han Xiao directly from the mental level.
He could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Han Xiao. The other party was just using the Evolution Cube as a bargaining chip. However, what right did a Calamity Grade like Han Xiao have to negotiate with him?
Sisko was not willing to let others take the initiative. He did not say anything and directly attacked first. If you have anything to say, wait until I get the Evolution Cube back!
Before Han Xiao could say anything, the psychic energy attacked him. Thankfully, he was mentally prepared and directly used the new talent of the Chaos Apostle, [Void Spirit Echo]. He absorbed a dense amount of Void God Power from the Void Dimension and formed a psychic barrier, negating almost half of the psychic damage.
The remaining psychic energy entered his brain, and his brain felt like it was being pierced by countless steel rods. Even with [Supreme Piety], [Advanced Mental Fortitude], [Spirit Lock], and other talents that increased his psychic resistance by more than two times, this attack still took out more than 80,000 of his health. The combat information showed that Sisko had used a skill and dealt additional damage.
This was the attack power of a true Beyond Grade A Super!
However, with Han Xiao's current health, this psychic attack that was enough to heavily injure or even kill an ordinary Calamity Grade was not even a light injury to him. He could recover in the blink of an eye.
"This guy attacked as soon as he said so. How decisive." Han Xiao's expression froze.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. Only by showing his strength to the other party would he have the right to talk to him as an equal.
His thoughts quickly turned, and Han Xiao's hands did not slow down. Without saying anything, he directly cast a Luck Curse on Sisko. Instead of retreating, he activated Apostilization and Void Buff. His status skyrocketed, and a torrent of psionic energy gushed out like a flood, smashing toward Sisko's spaceship.
Kaboom!
The psionic energy that poured out slammed into the psychic barrier like a waterfall crashing into a reef. The blue shattered light splashed out like water splashes, and the air vibrated endlessly, producing rumbling echoes.
"This power … doesn't seem right?"
Sisko could not help but be surprised. He felt pressure on his mind, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
Although it was only a little pressure, this was the first Calamity Grade Super that made him feel pressure after being a Beyond Grade A Super for so many years.
Ka la la!
The next moment, Han Xiao maintained his energy and summoned his mechanical army. Light flashed in the sky, and the Army Boxes arrived through hyperdrive, releasing an overwhelming mechanical army. The black tide covered the entire sky, occupying every inch of the sky.
Not only Han Xiao's own Mech Legion, but Sardeem's mechanical army was also included, numbering more than ten million.
Buzz!
Mechanical Force surged out of Han Xiao's body and connected every mechanical soldier like an enormous lightning spider web. At this moment, it was as though all the mechanical soldiers were synchronized.
Han Xiao unleashed his full strength, and the energy level he exuded skyrocketed.
At this moment, Sardeem suddenly felt a sense of fear that came out of nowhere.
At this moment, Sisko spoke to Sardeem in the spaceship.
"You're wrong."
Sardeem recovered and was confused. "What's wrong?"
"You said he's a Beyond Grade A seed. You're wrong."
Sardeem could not help but look at Sisko, only to realize that Sisko's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, it was unprecedentedly serious.
"He's not a Beyond Grade A seed …" Sisko's tone was grave. "He's a Beyond Grade A!"
As though a bolt of lightning had exploded in his head, Sardeem's mind went blank. His eyes slowly widened, and his expression turned from disbelief to shock.
Black Star … is a Beyond Grade A?
This means that there's a fifth Beyond Grade A in the Shattered Star Ring?
Sardeem's face was pale. If Han Xiao was only a Calamity Grade, he would still dare to make him his enemy. However, the other party had become a Beyond Grade A, and he could not even think of taking revenge.
When did this happen? When I fought him two days ago, he was only a Calamity Grade! Did he purposely hide his strength?
Maybe he was already a Beyond Grade A when he disguised himself as Bain.
Has he been toying with me all this time?
Thinking back to how he had shamelessly said that he wanted to recruit a Beyond Grade A, Sardeem could not help but feel ashamed.
"If Black Star and Sisko fight, the shockwaves from the Beyond Grade As …"
Sardeem panicked. He had thought that he would be safe once Sisko arrived, but from the looks of it, he might even die there!
At this time, the mechanical army surrounded Psyker's spaceship, and countless cannons were aimed at him. At the same time, the light of accumulating energy lit up.
Hum!
Sisko's seven eyes suddenly opened wide, and his psychic energy gushed out, forming layers of barriers around the spaceship.
"Fire!" Han Xiao pressed his palm down.
Whoosh!
Tens of millions of particle cannons were fired at the same time, all of them focusing on the same target. The psionic light that filled the sky connected together, and the next moment, these psionic cannons gathered together, triggering a chain reaction of annihilation. With Psyker's spaceship as the center, a dark blue energy ball was born and rapidly expanded.
The Mech Legion hastily retreated, and this energy ball expanded to more than a hundred kilometers before exploding!
Boom!
The sound was earth-shattering.
A dazzling blue beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the atmosphere.
There was no dust or mushroom cloud; they were all annihilated by the expanding psionic energy.
This area turned into a deep crater, and the ground seemed to have disappeared into thin air. The explosion almost penetrated the planet's crust, and a bottomless hole appeared on the planet's surface.
Rumble!
The earth veins within thousands of kilometers were affected, causing violent earthquakes. All the volcanoes erupted, and countless deep rifts appeared on the already cracked earth. The tectonic plates were torn apart by the movement of the earth's crust, and magma gushed out from the rifts like red-hot dragon spines.
"How many times stronger is this …" Han Xiao looked down at the changes on the ground and muttered.
His attributes and Machinery Affinity had skyrocketed, and with the buff from [Supreme Power], his destructive power had also stepped into the Beyond Grade A realm.
"My Mech Legion hasn't been updated yet. When I go back and build stronger machines and a large number of Star Destroyer Cannons, that will be the peak of my combat power."
Han Xiaoxin made up his mind and began to search for Sisko.
The destruction he had created was indeed shocking, but he had never lacked confidence and did not think that this attack would pose much of a threat to a Beyond Grade A. Since the aftershock was so strong, it meant that the power was still not concentrated enough.
After a series of actions, Han Xiaoxin took a look at the damage. The combat information on the interface showed that most of the attacks were blocked by the Beyond Grade A psychic barrier.
In the center of the explosion, there was a red ball of shattered light. This was Psyker's telekinesis barrier. Even his telekinesis had been heated up by the psionic explosion into a blazing red color that resembled lava and was emitting white steam.
The Mech Legion reassembled. Sisko looked at this scene, glanced at the trembling Sardeem, and shook his head.
After a moment of silence, he dispersed the psychic barrier, opened the hatch, and flew out, facing Han Xiao.
"Not bad."
Sisko first looked down at the bottomless crater before looking at Han Xiao. "Let's talk."
After a simple exchange, Sisko already understood that the other party was an existence on the same level as him. He could only change his attitude and admit that Han Xiao had the right to talk to him as an equal.
Although he had never interacted with him before, he had no choice but to remember this person called Black Star.
Doing this meant that he was ready to negotiate with Han Xiao.
In truth, Sisko was very frustrated. He originally thought that his opponent was just a Calamity Grade with overconfidence, but it turned out to be a true Beyond Grade A. The worst-case scenario with the lowest probability had happened, and the situation had become even more complicated.
Sisko was not afraid of Han Xiao, but as the leader of a civilization, unless the negotiation failed, he was not willing to provoke a new Beyond Grade A as an enemy.
A new Beyond Grade A would change the structure of the Star Field. It had been a long time since a Beyond Grade A had appeared in the Shattered Star Ring, but it was different in the other Star Fields.
Sisko had lived for a long time, and because of the Arcane Church, his eyes were not only on the Shattered Star Ring. However, seeing the birth of a new Beyond Grade A with his own eyes, it was inevitable that he would be shocked. It was just that he did not want to show it, lest it affect the negotiation.
Seeing this, Han Xiao stopped the Mech Legion and flew in front of Sisko.
The two of them faced each other and sized each other up.
"Tell me your conditions. What do you want to do with my Evolution Cube?"
Sisko took the initiative to speak. He did not want to waste time on pleasantries and went straight to the point.
Han Xiao's brows twitched.
This guy's personality is really direct, and he doesn't look like he's easy to talk to …
However, that's right. The exchange just now was just a simple exchange of pointers, and both sides had displayed their strength. It was far from the point where a Beyond Grade A would go all out.
Sisko is willing to negotiate on equal terms mainly because I've displayed the strength of a Beyond Grade A. As a veteran Beyond Grade A, it's impossible for him to be afraid of me after just one exchange …
Han Xiaoxin thought for a while, grabbed the Evolution Cube around his neck, and said with a deep voice, "Actually, there's room for us to work together."
"Speak." Sisko was expressionless.
Han Xiao nodded and explained the situation with the password for the Evolution Cube. "I know how to use the Evolution Cube in a portable state, and I can keep it in this state. This way, it won't be stolen. Once the Evolution Cube is back in your hands, you won't know the password and can only release its original body. There might be a day when EsGod attacks you again, and there will be many casualties.
Therefore, why don't you let me carry the Evolution Cube and divert EsGod's attention? You can borrow the Evolution Cube from me at any time, and we can form a close alliance. This way, you won't have to worry about the Evolution Cube being stolen, and you can continue to use the Evolution Cube. It's a win-win situation. "
Sisko listened patiently and spoke with an indifferent expression.
"Heh, then I'll give you a plan. Give me the Evolution Cube and the password, and the Star Pupil Protoss will become your close ally. In the future, you can also borrow the Evolution Cube from me, and I can even help you get rid of the Tyrant. Will you agree?"
Han Xiao's eyelids twitched. "If I don't agree …"
"Then I'll help the Tyrant get rid of you." Sisko interrupted Han Xiao without hesitation and said expressionlessly, "Now, give me an answer. Are you going to give me the Evolution Cube or not?"
