Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 193 Invitation

The 30th open-air combat training ground in the war zone.

"Let's choose this place." Kairo led everyone here and stood facing Ye Xiu from a distance.

Looking from this side, the other person's figure appeared to shrink to the size of a sesame seed.

Ye Xiu surveyed his surroundings.

The edge of this field, which is several times larger than a football field, is lined with many mechanical towers. Dozens of dark blue, blazing electric arcs connect the towers, casting spiderweb-like shadows on the metal ground.

The iron-gray floor was covered with charred explosion marks, scratches of varying depths, and numerous large craters, clearly indicating that it had been the site of a fierce battle.

"Since it's my turf, you have to follow my rules," Kylo's voice came through, tinged with electronic noise.

"First, the battlefield is limited to this area; you can't afford to pay for anything damaged outside. Second, we'll stop here, so your life is spared."

Before the words were even finished, the entire venue suddenly began to tremble.

With the roar of machinery, hordes of mechanical soldiers rose from the ground one after another, surging around Kairo like a steel tide.

Beams simultaneously shot from the top of the tower at the side of the field, intertwining in mid-air to form a giant countdown projection.

3: 00.

"Don't say I'm taking advantage of you." Kylo smirked. "The shield will only activate after the countdown ends. In the meantime, you can prepare whatever you want."

He stroked the control terminal on his wrist armor, while the hum of mechanical tracks echoed from deep underground.

As the direct site of the underground armory on Herber Star, he was fully confident that he could drag this battle into a protracted war.

As the countdown numbers began to tick, Kylo could almost picture the other person kneeling and begging for mercy.

The transparent barrier of the protective shield can both ensure that the audience can see clearly and prevent the alien from playing tricks.

Whether the opponent admits defeat or flees in the face of battle, Ames's pride will be shattered.

No matter how you look at it, he's guaranteed to make a profit on this deal.

On the other side, Ye Xiu glanced at the rising mechanical army, his face showing no surprise whatsoever.

His strength had already surpassed the threshold of a regular natural disaster level in recent days, but Ames gently tugged at his cloak: "Are you confident?"

"About 60 or 70 percent." Ye Xiu casually took off his cloak and folded it neatly.

"Then I'll wait for you on the viewing platform." Ames' eyes curved slightly, and she tapped his shoulder armor lightly with her fingertips before leading her two adjutants toward the fifty-meter-high observation tower at the edge of the arena.

The metal walkway jingled crisply beneath her high heels.

Spectators climbed onto the rooftops of the surrounding buildings, and hundreds of elites in the field of warfare whispered among themselves.

Mazax and several vanguard officers stood on the lookout tower in the southeast corner, the red glow of their cigars flickering in the twilight.

"Is Dragon Throne trying to get revenge?" someone gestured towards Ames's retreating figure. "They got humiliated by the Overlord a few days ago, so now they're sending a thug?"

"Kylo's hiding well, but he has the armory backing him up," Mazax said, shaking his head as he exhaled a smoke ring.

As a seasoned frontline commander, he had always looked down on those who relied on mechanized naval tactics.

However, it must be admitted that in this specific setting, the opponent does indeed have the ability to wear down any opponent.

……

Inside the palace, Herbert was chatting with Austin to strengthen their bond.

Austin's expression suddenly shifted slightly, and he tapped the crystal glass with his fingertips: "Old friend, it seems there's going to be some excitement in your training grounds."

The overlord on the metal throne frowned and tapped the communicator. The moment the screen popped up, a report from his subordinates came through.

"An alien showdown with Kylo?" Austin asked with interest, parting the spatial ripples and revealing the entire battlefield reflected on the water-like mirror surface.

The protective shield was closing at a visible speed. Austin glanced at his old rival: "Not planning to call a halt?"

"Since the little fellow from Longtan has challenged according to the rules," Herbermo stroked the armrest of the throne, the alloy floor trembling slightly with his laughter.

"The battlefield of war is never short of clashes."

The mechanical tower in the mirror hummed, and the moment the pale blue light curtain closed completely, Kairo's heavily armored fortress erupted with a thunderous surge of mechanical power.

The gray-white electric arcs around Ye Xiu suddenly surged, condensing into a gigantic energy palm that blotted out the sky and crashed down with a sonic boom.

"Interesting." Mazax watched as the metal fortress was slammed into the alloy floor, the dust outside the shield forming small tornadoes with the shockwave.

The fortress shield flickered violently but did not break. Before the spectators could even breathe a sigh of relief, the giant energy hand suddenly curled into a claw.

The fortress, weighing over 100 tons, was lifted into the air and slammed into the protective shield like a cannonball!

Just as Leif followed the guards around the corner, he saw the black spaceship whizzing past.

"That's not Longtan's." Before the diplomat Krent could finish speaking, a burst of purple and white lightning in the distance illuminated the entire dome, making it flicker between light and shadow.

"Looks like we'll make it to the main event." Rossos straightened his collar, which had been ruffled by the blast of air, and the three of them followed the guards quickly toward the viewing platform.

Hovercrafts kept passing by along the way, and at one moment he even saw broken mechanical debris embedded in the surface of the shield, crackling with electric sparks.

A deafening roar!

The war experts watching from outside the protective shield.

A huge black shadow came hurtling towards them, its shadow rapidly expanding in their field of vision, startling them so much that they staggered backward and nearly fell.

The metal fortress crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, creating a shockwave that caused the ground to tremble violently.

However, the energy shield remained stable and showed almost no damage, while Kylo in the cockpit was jolted and grimaced.

Mazax's eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly assessed the situation:

"Kylo's protective capabilities are indeed outstanding. The opponent cannot find an opportunity to break through the armor for the time being, and this will turn into a tug-of-war. This is precisely the opponent's fatal weakness."

"This iron turtle shell is tough enough; it meets the standard of Grade A equipment."

Ye Xiu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his pupils gleamed with eager anticipation.

The interface displays Carol's profile.

Its level is much higher than mine, and some of its attribute data is encrypted and obscured.

This was to be expected, after all, he was only level 142, and most A-level experts were above him.

Although the heavily armored fortress has amazing defense, it is not yet at the level of absolute defense.

Suddenly, blinding lightning burst forth from his body, and Ye Xiu soared into the air, transforming into the form of a thunderous war god.

"How long will they keep fighting?" one of the vanguard officers couldn't help but mutter.

Mazax stroked his chin: "It'll take at least a few hours."

Suddenly another figure leaped onto the viewing platform, drawing gasps and stares from the crowd.

"Second-in-command! What brings you here?"

"The chief sent me to oversee the operation." The newcomer was slender and tall, standing out from the crowd of muscular men in the arena.

This second-in-command, codenamed "Shadow Vanguard," specializes in agile weaponry and is as elusive as the chief, rarely appearing in public.

The eight vanguard officers are divided into three tiers. The chief officer receives personal guidance from the overlord Herber year-round and is recognized as an A+ level ruthless individual who spends all his time in the gravity training room as if he were torturing himself.

Although the second-ranked Shadow Warrior has an unconventional style, his combat strength is equally formidable. The simultaneous appearance of the two surprised the executives present.

Yingfeng glanced at the battle situation and spoke quickly: "On the surface, the aliens have the advantage, but in reality, they are being dragged into a war of attrition."

If the defenses cannot be broken quickly, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Great minds think alike." Mazax nodded. "The situation is clear now. Kylo has the advantage of terrain, and the aliens have little chance of winning."

"Kylo, ​​you're passable." Shadow Sharp gave a calm assessment.

On the other side of the building, three Krent officials climbed up, panting, and after asking the onlookers what had happened, they looked completely bewildered.

"This guy actually dared to openly challenge the officers at the war zone headquarters? That's reckless!" Leif's eyes widened.

"It's probably to avenge Ames. It's exciting to see a current leader taking down a former traitor." Krent chuckled, stroking his beard.

Leif turned his head and saw that Ames, who was watching the battle not far away, was staring intently at the battlefield without blinking.

Rumble.

The sounds of artillery fire continued unabated, and the fierce battle on the field was still raging.

Clang!

A blinding flash of lightning erupted, and Kylo's shipbreaker mech couldn't withstand the impact, crashing backward with a thud.

The exposed wires outside the cockpit crackled and sparked, and the energy pipes drooped haphazardly.

The system completely failed; even the escape pod couldn't be ejected, and Kylo was now like someone trapped in a metal can.

Seeing Ye Xiu flip and leap into the cockpit, he panicked and stammered, "I'll throw."

"Get out of here!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiu covered his mouth with his iron-like hand and swung him around like a sandbag.

With a muffled thud, Kairo somersaulted upwards in the air and crashed into the energy shield of the training ground.

Although he had the foundation of a natural disaster level, he was not a trained martial artist after all. The impact caused him to see stars and fall into a brief daze.

Before he could fall, Ye Xiu, his body crackling with electricity, caught up with him.

A few hundred meters is just a matter of stepping on the gas for the Lightning Armor, leaving a long trail of blue flames behind it.

sizzle.

In the instant of the lightning flash, Ye Xiu's arms were like a fully drawn bowstring, and his fists, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, slammed into Kailuo's stomach, pushing him back into the energy shield.

boom!!!

The blue and white electric ball exploded in mid-air, unleashing energy! Potential unleashed! Armor-piercing combo! The fist, fully buffed, shattered the protective shield.

Amidst a sky full of sparks, Kylo shot upwards like a rocket, leaving a trail of blood in the air.

Everyone on the sidelines was stunned; Mazax's mouth was agape.

From breaking the deadlock to finishing the job, Ye Xiu only took ten seconds!

call out.

Hunting Blade was the first to react, leaping into the sky and pulling Kylo, ​​who was about to turn into a star, back to life.

With a thud, Kylo landed, coughing so hard his lungs felt like they were about to burst, and a large patch of blood stained the front of his combat suit.

"Cough, you." He glared at Ye Xiu, who had landed not far away, and could barely speak.

"That was close, that was close, we almost crashed." Ye Xiu patted his chest and shook his head, showing no sign of tension at all.

The spectators were rolling their eyes. Keep pretending! Do you think we're blind?!

Ye Xiu looked around, then chuckled and raised an eyebrow: "Looks like you've lost."

Kylo felt the scorching gazes from all around him, and his back teeth almost ground to powder.

Despite playing on home turf, they were utterly crushed by outsiders whose fighting strength was ridiculously high. To make matters worse, their special status made them even more formidable.

Being labeled a traitor and then defeated by a newly promoted cadre in Longtan is exactly the kind of thrilling plot that viewers love to watch.

Especially considering that he had just provoked Ames a few days ago, he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Ames was still staring at the victor, and Kylo felt as if a boulder was pressing on his chest.

The dragon on the spectator seat smiled slightly, the pent-up frustration of the past few days dissipating with that powerful punch.

Her gaze followed Ye Xiu's figure as if admiring a newly acquired treasure. As for that traitor? He had long been forgotten by her.

"Dragon Throne really struck gold this time," Leif pondered, stroking his chin.

Since the Amethyst Civilization and the Alien Legion's base both belong to Colton, perhaps some gray-area cooperation could be carried out.

On the other side, Rossos's beard trembled slightly as he secretly calculated how much more investment the Norios Consortium should make.

A high-ranking official from Krent suddenly spoke up: "I heard that the aliens defeated their people in the territory of the Overlords? This is going to be a headache for the Warring States."

The vanguard officers, including Mazax, were indeed having a headache.

"Will His Excellency the Overlord make a move?" someone asked in a low voice.

The burly, red-skinned man shook his head: "In a ring fight, victory or defeat depends on one's own ability."

That being said, many warmongers were watching the figures in the arena, itching for a fight.

As light and shadow shifted within the palace, Austin quipped, "Your kid's got a screw loose."

Herber waved his hand to turn off the projection: "I'm not as skilled as you." As he turned around, his cloak billowed in a sharp arc.

The moment the broadcast went dark, everyone understood the hegemon's attitude: tacit acceptance of the outcome.

The spectators dispersed in twos and threes, and Mazax glared at Kylo before leaving.

The former traitor stood frozen in place, his nails digging deep into his palms. Defeat was inevitable; further words were futile.

Ye Xiu glanced at the panel notification in front of him:

[The "Ames's Wrath" quest is complete!]

[Gained 15 million experience points, increased reputation by 1500 points]

[Lontan faction reputation increased by 2500 points]

[Affection with Ames +30, Current Relationship: [Closest Friends]]

[Affection with Herber +2, Current Relationship: [Normal]]

At that moment, Ames gently landed beside him, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"You did a really good job just now."

"I can't let you suffer on someone else's turf." Ye Xiu scratched his head and explained in a seemingly relaxed manner.

"I understand."

A ripple appeared in Ames' eyes. Since she joined the ranks of Super A-level powerhouses, she hadn't experienced the feeling of being protected for many years.

She couldn't help but smile at the thought that even though she was far stronger than the other person, it was this young man who stood up for her in the end.

Aurora, standing nearby, secretly tugged at her sister's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Hela."

"Speak if you have something to say." The red-haired woman kept her eyes fixed ahead, her tone cold and hard.

"No, it's nothing," the little girl immediately withdrew her hand.

Back at their lodgings, the aftermath of the fight was calmer than expected.

But the news spread like wildfire, reaching the ears of all the guests in less than half a day.

Longtan's "Alien" actually beat up the traitor from back then right under the nose of the Overlord, and what's even more intriguing is that the War Domain has remained silent about it.

Many people secretly speculated about the deeper meaning behind this.

The next morning, the main hall of the palace was completely renewed.

Crystal chandeliers cast shimmering light across the dome, rare ingredients and century-old vintage wines filled the long table, and musicians tuned uniquely shaped instruments.

As guests entered the venue one after another, the highly anticipated Star Ring exclusive party, which had been in preparation for many days, finally began.

Unlike ordinary social banquets, here every figure holding a wine glass represents a powerful force.

The latest novel is first published here!

From the main hall to the side halls, and even the dozens of secret rooms upstairs, every place is a negotiation arena where undercurrents are surging.

Some were discussing intergalactic resource exchanges, some were exchanging top-secret intelligence in hushed tones, and others were forging alliances in the corners that could potentially reshape the landscape of the galaxy.

Amos leaned alone against the carved pillar, ignoring the probing glances around her.

The Hela sisters stood quietly behind her, feeling somewhat out of place in this situation.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, moved with ease among the crowd, sometimes clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries with people, and sometimes stopping to listen, slowly piecing together the fragmented information he had gathered in his mind.

When that mountain-like figure appeared at the top of the spiral staircase, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

Herber's dark golden pupils swept across the room, and his deep voice made the wine glasses tremble slightly: "I am very pleased to see so many old friends grace us with their presence."

I hope this gathering, like always, will be a worthwhile experience for everyone.

As the symphony began to play, the crowd dispersed like ink drops falling into clear water.

Ye Xiu noticed that several high-ranking officials from the Krent system were leading people toward the west side hall, while Herber was surrounded by several arms tycoons as they went upstairs.

He stroked his wine glass, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the various groups of people.

"The Overlord and the Krents were originally partners, but the Overlord secretly submitted to the Crimson Empire. Perhaps the Krents have long been honored guests of the Crimson Empire."

After all, if they wanted to win over the forces of the Shattered Star Ring, cluster-level civilizations would definitely be the first choice. After the Krents made contact, they also recommended their ally, the War Zone.

The Overlord actively recommended the special envoy to the Dragon Throne and the Spellcaster; perhaps the Krents pushed him out to deal with Super A-level beings.

"This storm has been gathering its strength in the shadows."

Ye Xiu stroked his chin, secretly calculating.

Based on the timeline, the Red Empire's plans should gradually surface during the decade or so between versions 2.0 and 3.0, eventually evolving into the full-blown upheaval of version 3.0.

It's still in the early stages of version 2.0. Apart from players on Aquamarine Star, players on other newer stars haven't even unlocked the interstellar map yet. There shouldn't be any major changes in the next few years.

The original main storyline of Aquamarine Star was the conflict between Dark Star and Godora.

Now that Dark Star is dead, the alien army they built themselves has become the new main storyline for players, and the plot has shifted to an open exploration mode.

This means that the remaining time in version 2.0 is the golden window of opportunity for developing one's power.

Just as he was thinking about development plans, Rossos came over, waving his octopus-like tentacles.

"Alien, shall we talk about cooperation?"

"What insightful opinion do you have?" Ye Xiu snapped out of his thoughts and nodded with a smile.

The tentacle conglomerate, rubbing his chin with his tiny tendrils, said, "I want to invest in Longtan and your legion. We can discuss the specific terms later."

Ye Xiu's eyes lit up instantly. Another lucky charm has arrived!

He glanced back at Ames, and after receiving her tacit approval, immediately pulled Rossos aside for a detailed discussion.

The investment agreement was finalized in just twenty minutes, with terms similar to those of the previous Norios consortium, which involved exchanging long-term resources for special rights.

For large conglomerates, investing in armed forces has always been a routine practice.

Once the formal contract is signed, the alien army will have two major conglomerates standing behind it.

Ye Xiu was happily planning his development when he was suddenly blocked by the sorcerer Austin and his anti-witch guild.

Facing this super A-level expert, Ye Xiu immediately became extremely alert: "What guidance does the Cursed Master have for me?"

A deep blue vortex appeared in Austin's palm, instantly condensing into a swirling sphere of gray mist:

"Back when I was traveling through the Phantom Dimension in my spirit form, I encountered a troublesome Void Lord. Although I eventually defeated it, this was left behind."

He held up the constantly twisting mist core. "Here you go."

Ye Xiu was stunned on the spot; this turn of events was completely unexpected.

The core essence of the Void Lord is a rare treasure; it's something that only experts in the magic world can obtain.

After all, traversing sub-dimensions is a high-level operation, an exclusive skill of advanced mages, who can find some rare and unusual items every now and then.

When it comes to production and management, magicians and mechanics are the top performers among the five extraordinary systems.

However, when it comes to collecting rare materials, those mystical mages might be slightly better than the tech geeks.

The mechanics are always complaining about being broke and about to go bankrupt, while the magicians are living a comfortable life.

After all, relying on enchanting, a zero-cost way to make money, has practically drawn the ire of the entire world. The nickname "Dog Mage" isn't given lightly.

Ye Xiu was puzzled. Austin's sudden gift was too unusual.

Surely he wouldn't be like that reckless Herber and try to poach players, would he? Herber takes a direct approach, is this guy going to use a roundabout tactic?

"You're giving me something so expensive for no reason?"

"It's probably because you need it more than I do," Austin winked playfully.

Ye Xiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that this old fox caught him red-handed when he was marking Su Yi yesterday?

"You're clearly not a mage, yet you can manipulate void energy; you've probably been corrupted by void genes."

Most creatures that are corrupted eventually become monsters, but you not only survived it but also transformed it into your own power. Your luck is simply incredible.

In that case, the essence of the Void Lord can perfectly enhance your special physique.

Austin's words directly confirmed Ye Xiu's guess.

Little did he know that Ye Xiu possessed a cheat-like player panel; he simply assumed that the Void Dragon skeletons buried on Dragon Tan Floating Island had created this ability.

Since this kid is a capable lieutenant under Ames, helping him out is a good deed.

Ye Xiu used a tactical cough to cover his embarrassment, while his mind raced with calculations.

This treasure not only enhances existing attributes, but it can also skip intermediate steps and directly unlock a higher-level form during the next racial evolution, making it a top-tier item that is priceless.

"What are the conditions?" Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes. He was always wary of things that seemed too good to be true, especially when the other party was a well-established Super A-level big shot.

Austin chuckled, toying with his staff. "Consider it an advance payment for the commission? Who knows, I might need your help someday."

Seeing that Ye Xiu wanted to ask more questions, he added, "Don't worry, I won't let you go against your principles."

"Deal." Ye Xiu accepted the glowing crystal core, and a system notification popped up at the opportune moment:

[Void Lord Essence: High-level Void Life Core, a hard currency circulating among mages.]

Can be sold at a high price/trigger hidden quests/directly consumed (Note: excessive intake may lead to irreversible void mutation)

Austin looked at the young man who had put the crystal core into his pocket, and suddenly said meaningfully:

"That Herber is a brainless brute, and Ames is a hands-off manager. I have high hopes for your potential."

This star field has been silent for too long; perhaps a new legend will soon be born.

Before he finished speaking, he and his entourage drifted away.

Ye Xiu scratched his head as he watched the departing figure.

Although this important person was friendly, their final words of advice sounded like those of a family elder, giving me a strange feeling of being entrusted with high hopes.

Halfway through the gathering, the bigwigs in the hall formed small circles to discuss serious matters.

People would occasionally come over to chat with Ye Xiu, but most of it was just idle chatter. Only Rossos and Austin's conversation had some substance.

When no one came to talk to him, Ye Xiu led Ames and the other two to eat and drink in a corner, as if they were attending a tea party.

As the gathering drew to a close, everyone had already discussed the collaborations they needed to discuss and gathered the information they needed to gather.

Ye Xiu eavesdropped for a few minutes, though he didn't find any top-secret information.

But the bits and pieces of information that important figures casually let slip are considered earth-shattering secrets by ordinary people.

At this moment, in the secluded reception room on the second floor, the Red Empire's special envoy, Su Yi, had just seen off his thirteenth visitor of the day.

Watching the representative of the Star Cluster Civilization bow and leave, he took a sip of strong liquor from his crystal glass, the burning sensation in his throat making him squint.

From Krent's representative to the special envoy in the field of war.

These important figures, whose stomp could shake the shattered star ring, all showed him respect, but when it came to the issue of taking sides, they all dodged the question.

However, Sue knew perfectly well that switching sides was a risky business that could cost anyone their life, and anyone would have to think about it for three to five years.

"Of the seven star cluster-level civilizations, only the Krent are truly committed to following us."

He muttered to himself in the empty reception room, "If you add in those warmongers in the war field, we can barely set up a chessboard."

The Crimson Empire's plans aren't limited to the Shattered Star Ring; its envoys in other star systems are probably casting their nets far and wide.

Applause suddenly erupted in the lobby downstairs, and Herber's imposing figure appeared on the gilded steps.

The leader briefly summarized the occasion with a few polite words and announced the official end of the gathering.

Don't be fooled by his benevolent smile; heaven knows how many deals stained with stardust and blood were made today.

Ye Xiu touched the contact list in his pocket, which was three times thicker than before, and the corners of his mouth never left his lips.

Previously, I mostly dealt with junior managers from galaxy-level civilizations, but now I can even call the deputy minister of commerce from a star cluster-level civilization "brother."

Although most people are doing it out of respect for Longtan, isn't networking just a snowball effect?

As they passed through the long corridor outside the palace, Kylo's face, as black as the bottom of a pot, stood out.

Amos's high heels clicked past him without even a glance.

Just as he was so embarrassed that he was digging his toes into the ground, a shadow suddenly fell over him. Herber was standing in front of him without him even noticing.

"Your Excellency," Kylo stammered.

"Are you confident you can lose next time?" Herber's voice was as hard as his muscles.

Kylo suddenly straightened his back: "I'll definitely give you a beautiful win!"

Watching the overlord's departing figure, his clenched fist trembled slightly.

……

Not far away, Ye Xiu was exchanging interstellar communication codes with someone, and as they chatted, more than a dozen numbers with star-studded logos appeared on his wristwatch.

Ye Xiu and his companions had no intention of lingering on Herber Star. They headed straight to the spaceport and boarded the Blacklight Lurker, quickly leaving the war zone and embarking on their return journey.

Sitting in the cabin, Ye Xiu took out the core of the Void Lord and examined it carefully in his palm.

The sphere of gray mist had a peculiar feel to it; it seemed to be there and about to disappear at any moment, but when you applied a little pressure with your fingers, it would be held in place by some kind of resilient force.

"This stuff is similar in effect to the Void Dragon Marrow we used back then, but it's much more potent."

A glimmer of light appeared in Ye Xiu's eyes.

As special beings at the top of the Void food chain, Void Lords usually lie dormant in what mages call the secondary planes, or hide deep within the Void Horizon.

These higher-dimensional life forms often condense their bodies through energy.

Interfering with reality through projection is an extremely rare and unusual phenomenon, even among the myriad races of the universe.

Although this was not the first time he had absorbed the essence of a Void species, such a high-quality core was still rare.

The compatibility of similar genetic materials is extremely high, and there is almost no need to worry about rejection.

Ye Xiu put the gray mist ball into his mouth, and a bone-chilling cold instantly exploded from his throat, spreading throughout his body in an instant, even freezing his thoughts for a moment.

At this moment, his perception has reached the cellular level, and high-purity void energy is washing over every segment of the gene chain like a tide, and various indicators of his body are quietly transforming.

[Void Lord Core Fusion Progress: 38% 61% 100%]

[Perfect match]

[基础属性永久提升：力量+8/敏捷+12/耐力+10/智力+10/神秘+15/魅力+8]

[Gain a slight boost to the Specialty [Intermediate Resilient Life]]

As the chill subsided, Ye Xiu's breath dissipated into the air.

His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the panel notification. The 63-point increase in total attributes far exceeded his expectations, and more importantly, the specialty system provided clear feedback.

Although the [Intermediate Resilient Life] that had been with him for so long had not yet been upgraded, it confirmed his conjecture that it was strengthened by absorbing void materials.

It seems necessary to focus on collecting these rare materials from now on.

The return journey was uneventful. After dropping off Ames and the other two back in Longtan, the Blacklight Lurker slowly docked at the airport.

As the gangway was lowered, Hela and Aurora turned around at the same time to look at the figure by the hatch.

"Follow Dragon Throne and cultivate diligently," Ye Xiu said to the two sisters with a smile. "When you are capable of standing on your own, I won't hold back."

Aurora clenched her little fist and nodded vigorously: "I'll practice like crazy!"

Hela's lips moved, and she suddenly realized that this would be a long separation.

Just like when I stayed on Aquamarine Star, the days of gazing at the stars are about to begin again.

The words that were left unsaid lingered in his throat, finally settling into a low whisper: "Be careful."

"I know." Ye Xiu waved his hand casually, and the alloy hatch closed immediately.

As the spaceship ascended, Ames turned to face the two sisters amidst the swirling air, her usual languid expression vanished:

"From today onwards, you will experience true hellish training."

Hela watched the fading light on the horizon and took a deep breath: "Just what I wanted."
