My Endless Life.

Chapter 564: Dark Star Sea
In the dim starry sky.

A huge ship is floating in the dark sea of ​​stars.

The subtle signal sound kept sending out distress messages to the outside.

“…Help…Help! This is the Patrol Ship No. 523 of the Extraordinary Fleet. The power system is currently out of order. Requesting rescue! Requesting rescue!
"Repeat, this is Extraordinary Fleet No. 523..."

Cries for help were released to the outside world and transmitted to the deeper parts of the universe through the ship's relatively intact broadcasting system.

But... no one responded.

Nikki Hawke, the captain of Extraordinary Fleet No. 523, listened to the busy tone on the communication platform, put down the paging device in despair, and slumped on the floor of the command center.

The Extraordinary Fleet is a patrol fleet in the Darkest Star Sea, led by a foreign country formed by the "Pantheon".

The fleet is full of extraordinary people with super powers. Their duty is to patrol the Darkest Starry Sea and search for life-bearing galaxies that still exist in the Darkest Starry Sea.

This job is dangerous.

The reason why the Darkest Sea is called this name is because the galaxies nearby are all dim.

In other words, all the galaxies nearby are already "dead". Except for the areas where foreign countries are located and the life galaxies created by the gods with their super powers, there is basically no life anywhere else.

Therefore, rather than searching for life, it is more like searching for the legendary treasure with ancient heritage buried in this sea of ​​stars.

Nikki is a fourth-level superpower user. Her ability is perception. She can easily sense the situation within tens of thousands of kilometers centered on herself.

This is still on the planet. If it were placed in the universe, without the suppression of planetary rules, Nikki's perception range could be magnified to half a light year!

But unfortunately, this kind of perception can explore the galaxy, monitor an entire patrol ship, and even on an alien planet, the capital of a foreign country, there is a superpower amplifier that can monitor the entire planet.

However, he is unable to detect those who practice consciousness at a higher level than himself.

Because of this, Nikki's patrol team was targeted by interstellar pirates who specifically targeted them. In the end, the patrol team was almost wiped out, and only her main ship escaped.

Although they escaped, the main ship's power system had been damaged, making it unable to perform space jumps and could only drift in the sea of ​​stars.

Unable to perform space jumps, with this fleet's maximum speed of less than 2% of the speed of light, it would probably take thousands of years to return to the nearest civilized planet.

What's more, it was not only the jump system that was damaged, the acceleration device also suffered a certain degree of damage. If they run the spacecraft at full power, it might not last for a year, let alone a thousand years.

Now there is only enough food on the ship to last for three months... If no one comes to rescue them in these three months, they will probably die in this cold starry sky.

"Captain... still no response from headquarters?"

Seeing Nikki sitting on the ground dejectedly, the young adjutant beside her asked in a trembling voice.

Nikki took a deep breath, stretched out her hands and patted her cheeks, forcing a smile to the adjutant:

"…It's okay. We have positioning equipment on our fleet. Once headquarters finds out we're missing, they will send someone to rescue us. It's just that… the signal can't be sent out now."

After listening to Nikki's words, the adjutant's expression brightened a little and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Nikki then said, "By the way, let's go down and count the food. We've traveled quite far, and even if the headquarters comes to rescue us, it will probably take some time. We should try to... economize on the food. If it really doesn't work, we can put some people into hibernation..."

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

With hope, the adjutant was motivated and hurried down to make arrangements after receiving Nikki's order.

Only Nikki managed to stand up, staggered to her captain's seat, and sat there slumped without saying a word.

What she didn't tell her adjutant was that the space she arrived at in a panic through the last warp seemed to be an area with abnormal magnetic field.

Her signal couldn't be sent out, and signals from outside couldn't come in, which meant that it was difficult for the headquarters to determine their location.

Otherwise, Nikki wouldn't be so anxious.

What's even more unfortunate is that before the space jump engine failed, Nikki barely made two long-distance jumps.

But these two long-distance jumps both left traces. If those interstellar pirates had pursued Nikki and her crew relentlessly, they would most likely have discovered Nikki's wrecked ship!

When that time comes, then everything will be over!
The only thing Nikki can do now is to pray that the space pirates will not come to her so soon. After all, her ship really does not have any important supplies and is not particularly valuable.

Leaning back in her seat, Nikki forced herself to cheer up and think about the future of her patrol ship.

But suddenly her eyes moved and she looked up at the ship-borne radar.

Just now, her superpowers allowed her to sense that a strange presence suddenly appeared near the ship.

The overall shape of the strange being was like a mecha, but it was just the wreckage of a mecha, with only a torso left.

But the problem is that Nikki's shipborne radar did not detect the presence of the mecha.

"…Invisible mecha?"

Generally, mechas are equipped with anti-reconnaissance devices. In other words, all mechas can be considered stealth mechas.

But the radar system on Nikki's battleship is very advanced and can detect at least a fifth-tier mecha. Now her ability has sensed the existence of the mecha, but the radar has not sensed it, proving that the suddenly appearing mecha wreckage is at least a sixth-tier one.

A sixth-level mecha master suddenly appeared. Logically, Nikki should be wary, but for some reason, Nikki really wanted to bring back the pink-painted mecha that suddenly appeared.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, it grew like wild weeds. In just three seconds, Nikki could no longer hold back and called out to her adjutant, "Kyle, there is a mecha wreckage about two kilometers away at the seven o'clock direction of the battleship. Salvage it!"

"Mech wreckage? Yes, I understand, Captain."

Although Adjutant Kyle was very curious about why Nikki suddenly asked him to salvage the wreckage of a mecha, since this kind of salvage work would not take up many resources anyway, the adjutant did not think much about it and began to follow Nikki's instructions.

With Nikki's instructions, the tractor beam accurately locked onto the suddenly appearing wreckage of the mecha.

Soon, the wreckage of the mecha was taken into the ship.

……

"Tsk tsk, I'm really lucky. If this guy hadn't used his consciousness to scan the surroundings recklessly, I would have had to work harder to charm her."

Xinlian's voice rang in my ears.

Li Qi, lying in the cockpit of the mecha, stared at the operating system inside the cockpit in silence, as if he was staring at Xinlian herself.

“…So you haven’t considered the fact that I can’t control the mecha after my energy is sealed, right?”

"I just forgot that your abilities were banned...why did they arrest you?"

Mecha Xinlian asked doubtfully.

Although she knew that the thing in Li Qi's hand sealed his ability, she didn't know why he would carry such a thing.

Therefore Xinlian was also very curious.

"To be honest, I don't really understand it either."

Li Qi answered truthfully.

He really didn't know why the Renaissance Society regarded him so important. As for using his identity to threaten the Ninth Princess... You have even controlled the Ninth Princess, so what else do you need him to do?
Are you going to threaten Zelia with yourself?

Putting aside whether Zelia really cares about Li Qi, even if her doting on Li Qi is genuine, Li Qi doesn't think Zelia will give up the family's interests for him.

The Sarnak family is a large family, and there are some things that cannot be decided by Zelia alone.

The Renaissance Society dared to use Li Qi to threaten Zelia, so the "old men" of the Sarnak family took the initiative to send out assassins to kill Li Qi.

Anyway, Li Qi can be resurrected.

"If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it." Xinlian's voice came.

It was clearly her who was asking Li Qi, but after not getting an answer, she began to persuade Li Qi: "I am like this. I usually don't continue to think about things that I can't figure out. Anyway, the answer will pop out by itself in no time."

Li Qi was silent. When the mecha was about to be towed into the ship, he asked:
"…So you actually don't know why you were thrown into the World Ocean to die, right?"

"..."

This time it was Xinlian who remained silent.

Li Qi, who had delivered a critical hit, did not choose to pursue the victory.

He waited for the ship in front of him to tow him into the landing capsule. His eyes turned slightly to look at the beautiful face with silver hair and red eyes reflected in the cockpit glass, and he also fell into silence.

After the mecha was completely received, Li Qi asked Xin Lian:

"Let me ask you a very important question. What is the strongest power I can mobilize now? What level of people can I defeat?"

"Hmm? When you take me into your body, you should have the physical condition of a third-level mecha master, but your consciousness will also be sealed, and many of your abilities will be unusable... Why are you asking this?"

"...Look at me now. Are you sure they won't... do that to me when I leave now?"

Li Qi stared at the crowd outside. Most of them were women, and there were not many men.

This is also in line with the current interstellar situation where yin is stronger than yang.

Of course, if it were just this, it would be fine. Li Qi is now afraid that this group of people are not good people. In addition, he is in his original appearance now and there is no way for him to disguise himself as ugly.

So Li Qi is very worried now. If he goes out like this, what might happen that can only happen in butter?
If that was the case, Li Qi felt it would be better for him to commit suicide and return to the city.

"Don't worry." Xin Lian comforted Li Qi at this time: "What do you think love is? It is not the low-level 'love' of lust, but the 'love' from the heart. And true love will not let others hurt you, so go ahead with confidence, I promise, they will never hurt you."

Xinlian said it with absolute certainty.

Li Qi touched his chin.

Although he was still a little worried, he even wanted to get something to protect himself, even a dagger would do.

But unfortunately, he has nothing on him now, only a magic device as decoration.

Therefore, there was no other choice but for Li Qi to do as Xinlian said.

Anyway, if something really happened, he could just hide in Xinlian's cockpit.

With a ninth-order strength inherited mecha, Li Qi is invincible.
