Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 78 The Fallen Beast

"Hey, what wind blew the universe's number one genius here today?"

On Azure Star, in an office at the Giant Axe Arena, Roger grinned as he watched Hunzhen walk in, took a sip of his coffee, and smacked his lips.

"Wow, Uncle Luo, you're really well-informed...tsk tsk...are you having your AI computer secretly monitoring me all the time?"

They exchanged a sarcastic remark, then looked at each other and grinned.

"Alright, I'm busy arranging tomorrow's matches. If you need anything, hurry up."

Upon hearing this, Hunzhen flicked his finger and sent out a document through the intelligent optical brain.

He then scoffed, "Uncle Luo, I came here to give you credit, but your attitude is making me a little disheartened!"

Roger skimmed through the information at lightning speed, comparable to quantum speed reading. He immediately raised an eyebrow and looked up at Hunzhen: "Did Yuxing still have this kind of work going on during your Genius Battle?"

Hunzhen waved his hand: "Never mind if I'm just bored, just tell me if this information is authentic or not?"

Roger tapped his fingers on the table for a moment before nodding. "Okay, I'll make a trip there in a couple of days. You're a core member of the Virtual Universe Company now, so I'll give you some merit points when it's all over."

Things are different now. Having become the core of the Virtual Universe Company, the weight of Hunzhen's words is naturally different.

Otherwise, Roger wouldn't have so easily agreed to the information that was just a "familiar junior" acting as guarantor.

To be honest, the "crimes" provided by Hunzhen were not sufficient, but with the added weight of the guarantee from the "core members of the Virtual Universe Company," it was more than enough.

As a member of the Giant Axe Arena, Roger also had to go through formal procedures to resolve the issue of Sky Realm Star, which required mobilizing the manpower of his affiliated forces—a matter of his position.

"Oh?"

Hunzhen blinked, just to clear his mind and breathe a sigh of relief, and incidentally to collect evidence of the crimes of the three major families of Kongjing Star over the past few years. He didn't expect to have such a gain.

Anyone who has read the original work knows that points are a form of hard currency!

But he still shook his head: "I'll go with you in the next couple of days. After this is done, I can finally put down the last bit of my mental burden and go to Chaos City."

Roger rolled his eyes: "Going with me? With your pathetic skills? You're not worried that your uncle will embezzle your meager earnings while we're fighting crime, are you?"

The battle of geniuses had just ended, and Hunzhen naturally broke through to the first level of the cosmic level. Without using material inheritance or soaking in a nutrient tank, there was no way to improve quickly in the short term.

With Hunzhen's current understanding of the laws, even though he has only just broken through to the universe level, he can easily crush other experts of the same level.

But this level of strength was naturally far from enough in the eyes of Roger, the domain lord.

Hunzhen rolled his eyes back: "After all the effort I put into investigating these crimes, how can it be considered a success if I don't personally witness those people being caught?"

Roger thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded.

Anyway, with him around, nothing bad will happen to this kid.

And so, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

An E9-class spaceship bearing the logo of the Giant Axe Arena landed in the shipyard of the Sky Realm Star.

"A warm welcome to Lord Roger, the deacon of the Morning Star Empire's Giant Axe Arena, for his inspection!"

A banner flutters in the sky above the Void Realm Star.

"Oh, Lord Roger, it's truly an honor to have you grace our Void Realm with your presence!"

Upon disembarking from the spaceship, Hunzhen saw three domain lords approaching him with obsequious expressions.

"As expected of the Giant Axe Arena, which is on par with Virtual Universe Company, I just wonder how strong Uncle Luo is."

Simulations are ultimately just words; seeing is believing.

The idea just popped into my head.

A black blade of light shot out towards the three domain lords who were about to come up and shake hands.

Roger held a long sword resembling a Western rapier in his hand, his eyes were incredibly sharp, and the blade was slightly drawn from its sheath, ready to strike.

The speed was so fast that even Hunzhen, with his current strength, almost couldn't catch it. It was Roger's signature move, Divine Evasion, which he used based on his understanding of the laws of light!

laugh--.

Caught off guard, Roseletta, the weakest of the three domain lords, died with her eyes wide open in death.

Drexler lost an arm.

Only Zaro, the strongest among them, reacted and managed to barely block the blade with his cloak.

However, this seemingly concealed and rare piece of armor is now rendered unusable.

Zaruo gave Roger a sinister look, glancing at Hunzhen beside him, and the idea of ​​taking a hostage flashed through his mind.

But this idea only lingered in his mind for a moment before he abandoned it.

No matter how reclusive a family may be, they would recognize Hunzhen's appearance at this point.

The number one in the universe in this year's Genius Battle is unparalleled in popularity. He is admired and longed for by countless teenagers, makes countless girls fall in love, and is used by countless senior experts to educate future generations.

Even if Hunzhen had already broken through to the cosmic level and gained profound insights, he might not be able to defeat Roger instantly, even if he had the strength of a domain lord.

The latest novel is first published here!

He's holding people hostage; he absolutely cannot afford to be liquidated by Virtual Universe Company.

Without hesitation, Zaro abandoned his two brothers, one dead and one wounded, and turned to run away.

Drexler clutched his severed arm, his face filled with terror, and cried out, "Lord Roger, why—"

laugh--.

Another black light appeared, this time without needing to divide its power into three, directly cleaving Drexler in two at the waist.

Roger sheathed his sword and said calmly, "The evidence is conclusive; death penalty."

At the same moment Luo Jie made his move, hundreds of spaceships that had been hidden in the starry sky quietly appeared around the outer star system of Kongjing Star, completely sealing off the area around the planet.

Letting Zaro escape, Roger even had the leisure to smile at Hunzhen and ask, "Do you think it's too ruthless of me to act without even investigating?"

Hunzhen rolled his eyes and said, "Tch, in the virtual universe network, no crime can hide. It's just a matter of how serious or urgent the matter is. With me, a core member of the virtual universe company, as your guarantor, Uncle Luo, once you report the anomaly, it will probably be approved directly."

Roger's face turned pale upon hearing this. He wanted to show off his knowledge, but instead of showing off, he was outsmarted by Hunzhen.

He raised his hand, wanting to angrily rub Hunzhen's head, but then hesitated, caught in a dilemma.

Fortunately, a kind person gave Roger a huge way out.

"Th-what is that!?"

On the planet Kongjing, the members of the three major families were already in a state of panic as they saw their respective patriarchs either dead or fleeing.

The sudden, terrifying tremor that affected the entire planet caused thousands of werewolves to cry out in terror.

"Uncle Luo, stop glaring."

Hunzhen didn't forget to tease Roger, gesturing towards the cracked ground in the distance: "Look, the big one is coming."

Without Hunzhen's prompting, Roger, as the domain lord, immediately discovered the traces of that enormous being.

His face suddenly darkened: "What the hell have those bastards been up to here?!"

Roar~——！！

The earth cracked open, and a gigantic lizard monster, several kilometers long and covered in ice-blue transparent prisms, tore through the ground and emerged from the depths of the underground mineral veins of the Void Realm Star.
