A dynasty spaceship slowly left the Crimson Ring Star Cluster. In the cabin, Han Xiao stood in front of the porthole, looking at the shrinking silhouette of the dynasty's mother planet with an expressionless face.
He had accepted the mission and notified the dynasty, who had arranged a spaceship to send him off. The operation had been finalized the day before, so he did not waste any time today. He, Beyoni, Ames, and Hella boarded the dynasty's spaceship and headed to the garrison base at the border to participate in the routine cleanup of the Fallen Ark.
"This time, I really came and left in a hurry." Han Xiao's eyes reflected the dynasty's mother planet that was getting further and further away.
He had only stayed on the mother planet for a few days, and it was not even comparable to the time spent on the road. He did not stay for long and left decisively after completing the mission on the mother planet.
During this trip, he had met the Dynasty Ruler and gotten to know a bunch of National Pillars, deepening his relationship with the dynasty, expanding his network, and making the mark of the dynasty even clearer on him. He had fulfilled the wishes of the Red Empire, and in the future, he could be considered one of the backbone of the dynasty.
"The dynasty's army has finished gathering and is waiting for the Beyond Grade As to go over. Through the stargate, we should be able to meet up with the main force in four to five days."
From the side, Beyoni walked over and opened his mouth to speak, spitting out sparks.
The Crimson Ring Star System was the central area of the dynasty, and they were going to the edge of the Star Field. However, it would only take four to five days. It was not because the distance was short but because the transportation in the Central Galaxy was far more advanced than in the Shattered Star Ring. The Universal Civilizations had many stargates in their headquarters, forming a fast transportation channel. If it were the sparse stargates in the Shattered Star Ring, this journey would take more than half a month.
Han Xiao turned around, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have you participated in similar operations before?"
"Hmm, I've participated in the encirclement of the Fallen Ark twice. This is the third time. Most of the Beyond Grade As in the Central Galaxy have participated in such operations." Beyoni nodded.
It's really eating, sleeping, and fighting EsGod. Those allies all said that they did not want to provoke EsGod because they did not want to come with me … Han Xiao's mouth twitched.
"Then EsGod has basically fought with all the Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations?"
"You can say that, but most of the time, we'll only encounter EsGod's doppelgangers. Only during large-scale operations against the main Fallen Ark team will we encounter EsGod's main body. Those are usually Beyond Grade As at Clottey's level. EsGod's main body is too strong. Just based on what I know, more than two Beyond Grade As have died in his hands … There are only so many Beyond Grade As in the entire universe.
Beyoni shook his head.
Because he had deliberately befriended him, Han Xiao's relationship with him was closer than the other Beyond Grade A allies.
Hearing this, Han Xiao nodded to show that he understood, his eyes flashing.
EsGod did have the strength, but to the three Universal Civilizations, they should be able to get rid of him if they gritted their teeth. Yet, they had tolerated him for so long.
"This time, we have three Beyond Grade As. Even if we're unlucky and encounter EsGod's main body, we can still escape unscathed," Beyoni said.
Bad luck? Heh, there's an eighty percent chance we'll encounter EsGod's main body this time.
Han Xiao secretly curled his lips. When he arrived at the dynasty's mother planet, EsGod's location was coincidentally exposed. He did not feel that this was a coincidence.
Thinking of what EsGod said when he contacted him, this was most likely the reason. However, he still chose to participate in this operation.
Putting away his thoughts, Han Xiao opened the interface to take a look. The routine clean-up mission was placed in the list, and the reward was quite generous.
[Empire Campaign: Fallen Ark (Repeatable)]
Mission Introduction: The Fallen Ark is the lost paradise of the thugs of the entire universe. It is notorious for committing all manner of evil and is constantly surrounded by the three Universal Civilizations. Now, the Red Empire has discovered the whereabouts of a Fallen Ark fleet. You have decided to participate in this battle and contribute your strength.
Tip: This mission is a faction series mission. You can complete the following requirements in this mission:
Elite Soldier: Accumulated 2,000 enemies killed. Reward: 380 EXP, + 20 Red Empire Contribution Points
Fierce General: Killed more than 200 Grade C Supers. Reward: 810 EXP, + 30 Red Empire Contribution Points
Scavenger: Accumulated 10000 enemies killed. Reward: 1,335 EXP, + 50 Red Empire Contribution Points
…
Decapitator: Killed the fleet commander. Reward: 12000 EXP, + 220 Red Empire Contribution Points
Directly Facing EsGod I: Dealt 0.5% of EsGod's HP (Both main body and doppelganger can be used). Reward: 20000 EXP, + 350 Red Empire Contribution Points
Directly Facing EsGod II: Dealt 5% of EsGod's HP. Reward: 150000 EXP, + 550 Red Empire Contribution Points
Directly Facing EsGod III: Dealt 15% of EsGod's HP. Reward: 650000 EXP, + 900 Red Empire Contribution Points
Directly Facing EsGod IV: Successfully cooperate with the Red Empire to eliminate an EsGod doppelganger. Reward: 25000 EXP, 80 Red Empire Contribution Points, and [Character Summon Card — EsGod].
This was not a one-time mission. As long as there was a chance for a routine clean-up, this mission would appear.
The Red Empire was one of the top organizations in Galaxy, and the mission rewards they gave were basically the standard for the later versions. If it involved a Beyond Grade A, the highest reward would be in the tens of billions of EXP.
This time, the Fallen Ark team was discovered near the border of the dynasty, so the dynasty was the one who took the initiative to send troops.
Han Xiao accepted this mission because of the generous rewards.
The 'Directly Facing EsGod' series of rewards took up more than ninety percent of this repeatable mission, and it was quite challenging. Ordinary players would only be able to kill the enemy's troops at most and would not be able to deal much damage to EsGod. Even if they accumulated damage, it would still be very difficult.
However, he was different. When he was at the Calamity Grade, EsGod's doppelganger had beaten him up quite badly. Now that EsGod's main body had descended, he might not be able to defeat it, but EsGod's doppelganger, which had limited energy, would not be able to give him much pressure.
The players needed 12,000 Contribution Points to exchange for an Ultimate Knowledge from a Universal Civilization, and his current identity was completely different. With a discount of half, he could exchange for an Ultimate Knowledge with 6,000 Contribution Points.
The stronger the faction, the harder it would be to gain Favorability. In his previous life, the players had worked so hard for Ultimate Knowledge that they almost exploded. Because of that, businesses like his were extremely popular. At this time, Han Xiao did not want to stay in the Central Galaxy for too long to gain Favorability. Thus, he was prepared to use his strength advantage to complete the extremely difficult mission that was almost impossible for the players and earn a large sum of Contribution Points in one go.
In the mission list given by the dynasty, this was the only mission that could satisfy his requirements and was the most convenient.
This was a good opportunity for him to draw a line between him and EsGod and send a signal.
Not wanting to continue talking about this topic, Han Xiao suddenly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how is your relationship with the Mecha Empire in the Primeval Star River?"
Beyoni was a member of the Flame Demon Race before he became a Beyond Grade A Super, and he still maintained a similar appearance. He still regarded himself as a member of the Flame Demon Race, leading a branch of his race in the Primeval Star River and expanding his harem. He was living a good life and was one of the big shots in the Primeval Star River.
The Mecha Empire's Manison was also in the Primeval Star River, so Beyoni definitely knew him.
"Manison? Why are you asking about this? "Beyoni was confused.
"He's a top Beyond Grade A Mechanic, after all. I've heard a lot about him," Han Xiao casually said.
Beyoni did not doubt him. "I rarely interact with him. His organization is deeply rooted in the Primeval Star River and far surpasses mine. If you want to visit him, I can introduce you. However, he's a member of the Radiant Federation, so it's not good to meet him in private."
"You're thinking too much. The Universal Civilizations won't restrict our private interactions."
"Hmm, in any case, I don't like meeting people from other organizations." Beyoni shook his head.
Han Xiao smiled. Although he did not plan to provoke the Mecha Empire, because of Aroshia, he still had to be careful.
As for the visit, it was not a lie. He was indeed interested in Manison's' Indestructible Mecha Empire 'technology. However, he would not visit him now. The development of the Flickering World was imminent, and he did not have the time to visit the Primeval Star River.
However, when the Mecha Empire was mentioned, Han Xiao could not help but think of an old enemy — Thousand Shadows.
This guy had not taken action for many years, and Han Xiao guessed that he might have given up. However, the [Prey] mission was still hanging on his interface.
"I'll meet him in the Abyss of Stars in the future," Han Xiao thought.
He did not forget the trouble this guy had caused him. Now that his wings were fully grown, he would find a time to settle the score.
…
In the gap between the borders of the Central Galaxy, a huge fleet was slowly moving. This was a branch fleet of the Fallen Ark.
There was a palace inside the main ship, and the ground was filled with energy transmission circuits that connected to the throne in the middle. An EsGod doppelganger sat on the throne, and the energy core of the spaceship continuously transmitted energy to the EsGod doppelganger through the throne.
At this moment, EsGod's main consciousness had descended onto this doppelganger.
"I wonder who the Beyond Grade A that the Red Empire sent this time will be," EsGod said with a sigh. "According to the intelligence, Black Star has been a guest on the mother planet of the Red Empire. Hmm, he has the Evolution Cube with him. Will he come and find me?"
His spies in the Shattered Star Ring had received news that Black Star was heading to the Central Galaxy more than half a month ago. If Black Star wanted to make a deal with him, he would need an opportunity to come into contact with him. Thus, EsGod had purposely let a team be discovered by the dynasty to create an opportunity. This was not a coincidence.
He could not leave the Central Galaxy easily, so if he wanted to use the Evolution Cube with his main body, he could only get Black Star to find him. In order to avoid being caught in a crossfire, it was unlikely that Black Star would come looking for him secretly. Thus, he had to create a situation where he would not be easily suspected.
"He should understand what I mean …"
After thinking for a while, EsGod shook his head.
He did not doubt Black Star's acuity, but Black Star had not contacted him. He probably had not decided whether to make a deal with him.
Under such circumstances, EsGod felt that Han Xiao might not dare to come and contact him.
…
"Black Star has already set off. Beyoni will keep an eye on him."
In the Ruler's office in Tarunamir Palace, Clottey reported the situation to Uranril with an expressionless face.
Uranril put down the documents in her hands, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and slowly said, "Him choosing to fight EsGod is out of my expectations. The timing is a little too coincidental. He has the Evolution Cube, and EsGod has also shown interest in this item. We have to be on guard."
Originally, the mission Han Xiao chose was not something that she, as the Ruler of the dynasty, should care about. However, she noticed something suspicious and had to pay attention to it.
To the dynasty, EsGod stealing the Evolution Cube was not a secret. Han Xiao bringing the Evolution Cube to fight EsGod might be because he knew about EsGod's greed and wanted to show off his sovereignty. However, it could also be because he had other ulterior motives. After all, Black Star was a new ally. Although it seemed like the dynasty was taking care of him, in reality, ever since he set off for the Central Galaxy, he had been closely watched by the dynasty.
Beyoni had agreed to Han Xiao's invitation partly because they were both part of the young faction and partly because Clottey had requested him to protect him. Apart from that, he also wanted to keep an eye on Black Star for Uranril.
The dynasty was not willing to see any of their allies being involved with EsGod.
"According to Black Star's information, he's good at cooperating with various parties in the Shattered Star Ring. To be able to build what he has today, he's clearly not someone who knows his place …" Urranrell opened her eyes. Her gaze was calm as she slowly said, "I hope he won't be too arrogant and think that he can fool the dynasty."
