The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"Buck!"

The moment Vera made her decision, she abruptly turned to look at Buck, her eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Here, boss!"

"Brothers, retreat! Close the defensive line and surround me!"

"Also, everyone, close your eyes and cover your ears. No matter what happens next, don't look or listen!"

Buck was taken aback. Although he didn't understand what his boss was going to do, he trusted him completely.

He immediately yelled, "Did you all hear that! Do as the boss says! Now!"

Although the surviving hunters were full of doubts, they quickly carried out the order and abandoned the siege of Lorian.

They all retreated behind Vera as quickly as possible, forming a dense defensive formation.

In the center of the hall, Lorian also stopped what he was doing.

He looked at the group of hunters who had suddenly given up resistance and huddled together, a hint of wariness flashing in his golden eyes.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

These desperados will never give up so easily.

What are they trying to do?

However, before he could figure it out, he saw the leader of the Star Hunters, the woman named Vera, raise her left hand.

Her face held an almost frantic, do-or-die determination.

"Kid, you're pretty good at fighting, I admit it."

Vera grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth stained with blood, smiling like a gambler ready to take everyone down with him.

"But what you shouldn't have done was force a woman to take out her most treasured dowry!"

"Today, I'll teach you what a surprise really is!"

The moment she finished speaking, she swiftly crushed the black bracelet on her wrist!

However, at the very moment Vera crushed the bracelet...

Lorian's breath hitched, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Even with his defense at level 120 and tens of thousands of attribute points, he felt inexplicably cold all over, as if he had fallen into an absolute zero ice cave.

At the same time, within his perception, an inexplicable ominous aura climbed directly from his spine to the top of his head, and then firmly wrapped around his body.

At that moment, under this feeling, Lorian felt that he was no longer an independent living being, but a specimen placed under a microscope.

From the soul to every cell, everything is clearly seen by some indescribable being.

All directions, up, down, left, and right.

It was as if countless pairs of cold, indifferent eyes had opened and were staring at him throughout the entire space.

"not good!"

The thought exploded in Lorian's mind the instant.

His white cloak had taken on its own to protect him.

In an instant, a solidified light shield appeared around him, completely enveloping him.

This cloak, a Star Source-level item called the "Cloak of the Time Traveler" produced within the high-dimensional secret realm "Time Space" under Ashmerk's control, had accompanied him through countless star seas and protected him from danger on numerous occasions, making it undoubtedly his closest companion.

Unfortunately, this time, the old buddy failed to achieve its goal again.

In front of his line of sight, in front of the Star Hunter Vera, a small black vortex appeared out of thin air.

Admittedly, the vortex was very small, about the size of an egg, and not particularly noticeable.

But the next second, an energy fluctuation far beyond Lorian's comprehension burst forth from that small vortex!

The moment Lorian "saw" it, it was already plastered on his face.

At this moment, if viewed from the outside of the starship, one would see a scene worthy of being included in an anthology of astral horror stories.

A gigantic hand made of dark, chaotic energy tore through dimensions and emerged from the void.

The hand was large enough to easily grasp a small planet, and the outline of the fingers appeared distorted and eerie under the starlight.

Then, the giant hand extended a finger, as if teasing an insect, and gently touched the starship of the Fallen Leaf Garden.

"Pop".

A soft sound, like crushing a ripe tomato.

The armed starship that could withstand the storms of the Star Sea was torn to pieces in an instant.

It turned into cosmic debris flying everywhere.

A violent energy shockwave emanated from the starship wreckage, forming a visible ring-shaped storm that swept outwards in all directions.

In the storm, Vera and her dozen or so surviving brothers were like rag dolls tossed about by a hurricane, helplessly pushed away by the enormous force.

All the defensive items on their bodies that could light up lit up, and then all went dark again in a fraction of a second.

They didn't even know what was happening; they just felt like they were on a space roller coaster without brakes, with the scenery rushing past them.

Consciousness then plunged into complete darkness.

……

Meanwhile, in Shenxia, ​​in Longjing, at the Supreme Command Headquarters.

Gu Xu lay on the hospital bed with a look of utter despair, staring at the familiar ceiling above him and the various testing wires inserted into his body. He felt nothing, and even wanted to laugh a little.

He thought that since he had destroyed Zogra's projection and saved the world, he should at least enjoy the treatment of a hero.

For example, you could hold a celebration banquet, award him a high medal, promote his rank, or at the very least, let him go home and get a good night's sleep.

As it turned out, as soon as they landed, Wang Cang and several other old men, along with Su Qiong and Jiang Shu, "escorted" them here without saying a word.

The most infuriating thing is that the bed he's lying on now, the spot he was in, is exactly the same spot he was in after he killed those unlucky guys from the Forbidden Water Clan.

Goodness, it's definitely a return visit.

A second marriage brings double happiness.

Gu Xu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked up at the beeping instruments on his body.

He then turned to look at the person sitting to the side.

Su Qiong was peeling an apple while keeping an eye on him out of the corner of her eye.

"I said... Sister Qiong, and Xiao Jiang, I'm really fine."

Gu Xu sighed deeply, his tone full of helplessness: "Look at these instruments, they're so green they're practically glowing, they're healthier than the chives growing downstairs in our building."

"Besides, don't I know my own body? I feel like I could punch a bull to death, no, I could punch a small asteroid through."

This wasn't bragging; after absorbing Zogra's projection, the power within him was so abundant it was almost overflowing.

Forget about the period of weakness, he feels more energetic now than before the fight.

However, Su Qiong didn't even lift her eyelids. Her hand holding the fruit knife was incredibly steady, and round and round pieces of apple peel fell down the blade.

"Oh, really?"

She replied nonchalantly, "You can punch through an asteroid, huh? Then try teleporting off this bed right now and see what happens."

Jiang Shu, who was tidying up his bedside table, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She put a bouquet of freshly delivered flowers into a vase and gently advised, "Commander, just behave yourself."

"Old Wang and the others are worried about you. After all, that was such a fierce fight; anyone who saw it would be scared. Having you get a full checkup will put everyone at ease."
