Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 139 Arosia

Ye Xiu and Han Xiao did not act together, but instead planned to probe separately.

Passing through the bronze gate engraved with dragon reliefs, a holographic catalog of goods floats beneath the gilded dome of the slave market.

Ye Xiu ran his fingertip over the floating slave files, glanced at them a few times, and then said with feigned dissatisfaction, "I need some slaves who can hold their own, not these low-grade goods."

"Hmph, I have plenty of money."

"Sir, this is already..." The receptionist, who had just put on a fawning smile, hadn't finished speaking when Holland suddenly emerged from behind the crystal screen.

The slave trader, adorned with gold ornaments embroidered with nerve connections, spread his arms wide, twelve gemstone prosthetic eyes flashing in unison in his palms: "Rest assured, esteemed guest, we have plenty of fine things here, absolutely capable of satisfying all your needs."

"Who are you?" Ye Xiu asked, pretending not to recognize him.

"Holled, the owner of this slave market, believe me, we have something here that will definitely satisfy you," Holled said confidently.

Passing through the hidden elevator with iris recognition, the cold light from the underground cells divides the corridor into a checkerboard pattern.

Each pure white cell houses huddled together "works of art" with clearly marked prices—a Zetasian diva whose vocal organs have been removed, a Titan warrior who has received a three-heart transplant, and even a psychic who is carving a wall with his telekinesis.

"It seems Mr. Holland has misunderstood the meaning of 'rare item'." Ye Xiu glanced at it a few times, then said in a pretentious tone, with some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Haha, the customer is quite picky, but I like this kind of challenge." Holland laughed exaggeratedly a few times, snapped his fingers, and said, "I have something amazing here that will definitely meet your requirements."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wall at the end opened, revealing a gravity cell with a dark blue hue.

Ye Xiu looked out the window, and his breath caught in his throat involuntarily.

There was a woman imprisoned inside, whose beauty was so perfect it was unbelievable.

Especially from the perspective of normal human aesthetics, this is an absolutely perfect appearance.

Therefore, even though Ye Xiu was mentally prepared, he was still greatly amazed.

In the cold, bluish light of the prison cell, a nebula-like halo flowed through the woman's hair.

Beneath the seemingly ordinary carbon-based biological shell, her body, bound by specially made super-powered shackles, glows faintly—these shackles, infused with energy-suppressing metal, are continuously releasing anti-phase waves, suppressing her energy fluctuations to a safe threshold.

The most lethal item was the annihilation collar embedded in the snow-white neck, whose built-in zero-point energy reactor was enough to reduce an entire block to quantum dust.

However, unlike the other prisoners' hysterical state, she was like an ancient life form sleeping deep in the core of a star, her long eyelashes casting star-like shadows on her eyelids.

Just as Ye Xiu was observing the other woman, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the starlight that burst forth from her iris made the entire quantum cage tremble—it was not the pupil structure that a living being should have, but rather like a miniature black hole and a nebula sealed in liquid crystal at the same time.

"It is indeed a bit special."

Ye Xiu was not surprised to see this.

At this moment, a prompt suddenly appeared on the panel, and he triggered a new task:

[Congratulations on triggering the special quest "The Visitor from Afar"!]

[Mission Introduction: Her eyes are as dazzling and deep as stars; with just one glance, your subconscious tells you—you want to take this woman away!]

[Mission Requirements: Rescue the target from the slave market and keep them with you for at least 6 days to complete the mission.]

[Mission Reward: 175W experience points, a special reward.]

--------

"This description is really cheesy," Ye Xiu couldn't help but think to himself.

In an attempt to entice Ye Xiu to purchase this "goods," Holland quickly said, "Distinguished guest, this woman is quite special."

"Projector analysis shows that the genetic code of hers contains the legacy of an ancient creature, which cannot be matched by the existing database."

"The energy detector also captured wildly fluctuating energy readings—the lowest point was comparable to that of a Class C superhuman, while at its peak it even broke through the Class B threshold."

"I understand." Ye Xiu nodded calmly; he already knew these things.

This woman can currently be called Aroshia, a very special being, and she has a special relationship with an extremely powerful Super A-level mechanic in the Star Sea world.

Unfortunately, this person is Han Xiao's type.

Ye Xiu temporarily set aside the task and continued his probing: "This price is reasonable, but I have other needs for rare slaves. Don't you have any other sources?"

Upon hearing this, Holland smiled and said, "You've come at the perfect time. A batch of rare goods is about to arrive for me. You can come back and take a look later; they are real treasures."

Ye Xiu's eyes flashed slightly. The Silver Spirit Man had indeed not arrived, so the mercenaries still had a chance to execute their interception plan.

Of course, he also knew that the reason he came to test them was because of Arosia.

Strictly speaking, it should be the man behind Arosia.

"That's great! I'll definitely come again then." Ye Xiu feigned excitement, showing his strong desire to buy, and then prepared to leave.

Seeing that Ye Xiu was truly uninterested in Arosia, Holland felt helpless and had no choice but to have his men escort Ye Xiu out.

Holland was the only one left in the underground prison corridor, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Arosia has been imprisoned here ever since he took over the slave market.

The former shop owner had told him that there was no need to treat him specially; he could be sold like any other slave.

However, a customer once bought Arosia, and a few days later, she suddenly reappeared in the cell, giving him quite a fright.

Are "goods" these days so intelligent that they know they're coming back after being sold?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't run away from his shop, he would be ecstatic, extremely happy.

Sure enough, the customer soon returned angrily to question him. Holland asked the former shop owner and learned that Arosia had existed since the early days of the establishment of Lontanfo Island.

The shop owner reported the situation, which caught the attention of the rulers of Longtan.

That capricious super-strong individual came to investigate and, adhering to the principle of "eliminating problems that cannot be solved," killed Arosia, causing her to vanish into nothingness.

But a few days later, Arosia reappeared as if nothing had happened.

The powerful figure came and killed her many times, repeating this more than thirty times. When he could no longer utter a word, he finally concluded that this was a cosmic spectacle, an inexplicable and bizarre phenomenon.

In other words, whenever Arosia's body stops breathing, some unknown mechanism is activated.

After about six units of time, she would appear in the corner of the cell like a holographic projection, with a dazed look on her face, as if death had never happened—except for the lost short-term memories.

The latest novel is first published here!

The shop owner often conceals this fact from buyers: even if the transaction is successful, this special item will always reappear behind the iron fence within six units of time, as if it were a pre-set spatial anchor point.

After all, to the rulers of Longtan, this infinitely regenerating cosmic wonder was nothing more than an idle toy, which they would casually toss into the slave market as a perpetual ATM.

When Holland was checking the cargo list for the third time, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck.

The moment he turned his head, he crashed into two deep pools. Aroshia, who should have been curled up in the corner, was now pressed against the one-way window, her pale face almost crushing the glass.

Although he knew the other person couldn't see the outside world, those eyes that seemed to be able to see through metal still startled him. It took him a long time to recover before he picked up the record board from the ground.

……

"The Silver Spirit Transport Team has not yet entered the port," Ye Xiu said, revealing the intelligence he had "laboriously" gathered.

"Very good." Fasereni's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "Deploy a four-layered interception network, starting from the dock twelve nautical miles offshore."

He waved his hand, drawing a radial encirclement. "Goya will lead the elite to guard the final checkpoint, while the aliens and black stars will be placed in the buffer zone."

In the holographic projection, red dots representing mercenaries spread like a virus around the slave market.

After a quick disguise, the members of each team immediately took cover in their respective positions.

Like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, patiently waiting for the prey to arrive.

……

The moment the floating island swept past the star flare, the eerie blue electric snakes that had been dancing between Ye Xiu's fingers suddenly glowed.

He leaned against the rusty excavator boom, his cheeks gilded by the cosmic light filtering through the gaps in the buildings.

Thirty meters away, the sparks from the collision of the two chainsaw swords resonated with the electric sparks at their fingertips.

This marks the seventh time in 48 hours that the rioters have been witnessed in a death circle – cursing, gunfire, and blood radiating outwards.

Hela mechanically counted the bullet holes embedded in the steel plate beside her feet, while Aurora's pupils recorded how the twelfth fallen body was carbonized into an abstract sculpture by the aftershocks of the ion cannon.

The foreign criminals were quick to anger, which made Hela fully aware of how dangerous this place was. Fortunately, Ye Xiu promised that nothing would go wrong, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have brought Aurora here.

Meanwhile, several gangs of thugs had provoked Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiaoshuai, being very civic-minded, cremated their bodies for free.

After he easily took down several groups of thugs and demonstrated his strength, things calmed down considerably.

Then, the change began with a shell that went off course.

Five bodies of residents who had been watching the scene were revealed beneath the collapsed dome, and the mob suddenly turned into killing machines that had been paused.

The fear spread much faster than a shockwave; even the blood splattered in mid-air seemed to freeze, and a deep look of fear appeared on their faces as they turned and ran.

However, not long after, the sound of a flying object swept across the sky.

The particle beams of the Longtan Guard precisely write the equation of death, converting the fleeing sins into an equivalent amount of charred corpses.

Ye Xiu looked up amidst the roar and saw the miniature dragon patterns flashing on the belly of the aircraft, which were clearly violent convergence functions written on the sky.
