Similar scenes are playing out in every corner of the Shattered Star Ring.

Ye Xiu took the list and contacted each of them one by one, contacting the organizations behind the missing powerful figures in order.

With his extensive network and connections, obtaining contact information for these forces was effortless for him. A few phone calls were enough to mobilize forces across most of the star system.

As for those on the list who haven't been caught yet, he could only silently apologize in his heart.

While he was quietly gathering his men, Shana and the other two had already boarded their stealth spaceship and headed straight for the alien army's stronghold in the Garden system.

The three men were huddled together in the cabin, brainstorming tactics.

"They're probably prepared, I still think it's too risky to make a move now," Ellett said, rubbing his chin.

He originally advocated taking it slow, but he couldn't resist Albert's words.

"That's not necessarily true," Shana said, flicking her hair. "Last time I didn't reveal much of my secrets, so the alien probably thought it was just a normal revenge."

Someone of his caliber is used to being harassed every few days.

"It's better to be careful," Ellette said, pulling out her tactical board and scribbling.

"I heard this guy has a near-immortal constitution and keeps a group of henchmen who are impossible to kill. The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for us. We need to think of a quick way to finish this."

"Should we wait until he's alone before making a move?"

"I doubt it. They must have learned their lesson after being ambushed last time. We need to do something unexpected."

That's right! Neither Adrian nor I have shown our faces yet. I can use shapeshifting to infiltrate their mercenary group and then suddenly attack when I get close.

"We'll control the situation first, Shana, you use the opportunity to cast a restriction, and retreat immediately after you succeed. Three against one, we should be able to finish this in a flash."

"Should we take action directly at his headquarters?"

"This is the perfect spot! Those small fry in the base can't stop us at all, and he definitely wouldn't expect anyone to dare launch a surprise attack on his lair. That Cataclysmic-level helper from last time won't be here either."

Adrian cracked his knuckles: "Got it, let's catch him completely off guard."

Seeing Elede nod, Shana rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.

The plan was indeed flawless; she couldn't imagine what other tricks the aliens could come up with.

Meanwhile, the Blacklight Lurker was speeding towards Longtan.

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Ye Xiu suddenly slapped his thigh.

……

Ye Xiu brought in a lot of reinforcements, but the real trump card was still that long-legged lady, Aimers.

In the past two years, he has rarely returned to Longtan, and usually chats with Ames via communicator.

Fortunately, the other party trusted him completely and let him do whatever he wanted without ever interfering.

As soon as the spaceship came to a stop, Visander's overly enthusiastic face was pressed against the hatch.

This guy is always as enthusiastic as a fan when he picks someone up at the airport.

Ye Xiu glanced around and noticed that a familiar figure was missing: "Why didn't Jenny come today? I thought she was going to shoot me again."

"She's busy." Visander's lips twitched.

"Wow, they're quite dedicated to their job."

"It's all because of you," Visander muttered under his breath, rolling his eyes.

After a few pleasantries, Ye Xiu got straight to the point.

The super A-level big shot floated down from the throne, her skirt swaying as she approached him: "It's rare for you to come back, so just say what you need to say."

"Can't I just think about you?" Ye Xiu joked. "But I do need you to keep things in order."

He broke down the plan and explained it clearly.

It's not about having Ames personally deal with those three, but rather about using her Super A-level status to unite all forces.

After defeating the enemy, dozens of organizations will team up to take down the enemy's base. At this point, a leader who can keep the situation in check is needed.

Ye Xiu knew perfectly well that this move wasn't just for fighting.

By bringing together the prominent factions of the Shattered Star Ring to cause trouble, one can both boost their own reputation and help Longtan transition to a new role.

Previously, everyone thought that Longtan was a Buddhist-like neutral organization, but this time it's a good opportunity to change that image.

Once each family rescues their own expert, the debt of gratitude will all be attributed to Long Tan.

Ames agreed without hesitation. She had been staying at home for the past two years and was feeling quite stiff, so it would be a good opportunity to take her two apprentices out to broaden their horizons.

Turning their heads to the side, the Hela sisters' demeanor changed quite noticeably.

The older sister was radiating cold air, like a portable refrigerator, while the younger sister was as warm and cozy as a little sun.

In terms of strength, Hela has already reached the threshold of B-rank, and although Aurora's rank is not high, her healing power is amazing.

Especially in terms of figure, the little girl is getting enough nutrition, and her combat uniform is almost too big for her; she's about to surpass her sister's size.

Ye Xiu glanced at Aurora's chest, clicked his tongue and shook his head: "You guys are pushing your training too hard. You've made such a young lady swollen."

Aurora's ears turned bright red instantly. She couldn't do anything about the side effects of her powers. Her shoulders ached every day from the weight, and she wished she could take them off and put them in her pocket.

Hela was initially excited to see someone she hadn't seen for two years, but upon hearing this, her face instantly darkened, and she glared at Ye Xiu with sharp eyes. Unfortunately, he completely ignored her, leaving her feeling incredibly frustrated.

When asked about his arrangements with Organization Zero, Ye Xiu said he would be working for the Purple Crystal Civilization for a while.

Amos was happy to be a hands-off boss, while Jenny mentally ranted through all the swear words she could think of.

After making all the preparations, Ye Xiu chose an inconspicuous alien base on the Godora colony as bait.

This place is frequented by players, offering opportunities for fishing and building relationships. After all, a leader's image cannot be neglected.

The Alien Legion's main task is no longer to guide newcomers, but to firmly maintain the loyalty of its players.

In the next version, the various allied forces will appear with generous benefits and epic quests. As the leader of the faction, he will have to find ways to improve his image in the players' minds.

After waiting for quite some time, Shana and her two companions finally couldn't hold back any longer.

In fact, they had been lying in wait in the Garden System for a long time, unaware that Ye Xiu was also using the mission panel to counter-reconnaissance.

The second stage of the "[Prey]" mission clearly states: "Defeat the attack to draw enemy skills." It seems that each stage of this series of missions is a gift pack of abilities, and if you're lucky, you'll make a killing.

Considering the special nature of the colony, Shana's team decided to carry out a stealth decapitation strike.

Eilet casually swiped the base's access card with his advanced stealth technique; the disguise of an A-level expert was as easy as returning home in front of ordinary defense systems.

Shana stayed on the outside to keep watch, while the two men, their skin covered in mercenary skin, ventured inside with the confidence of someone strolling through a market.

But after wandering around for only half a circle, they realized something was wrong. All the alien members along the way stared at them, their eyes looking like those of huskies who had seen two idiots sneak into a pack of wolves.

"This atmosphere isn't good." Adrian felt a chill run down his spine.

"What a joke! My illusions can be seen through by these small fry?" Ellet stared wide-eyed at his perfectly intact disguise.

Unbeknownst to them, two moving targets with bright red question marks on their heads were bouncing around in the safe zone in the players' field of vision.

Back then, even though Dark Star infiltrated Porick and managed to get a yellow name, these two are enemy mini-bosses with built-in neon effects!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several players suddenly attacked the two, and the surrounding crowd immediately followed suit, concentrating their firepower on the area where the two were located, causing a series of explosions.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, seeing the other player with a red name tag, the players tacitly agreed that this was definitely a sign of a hidden quest.

Going all in is definitely worth it!

hum.

A magical barrier instantly opened, shutting out all attacks.

"My identity has been exposed!"

Ailete's pupils contracted slightly. He couldn't understand how these mercenaries, whose combat strength was at most C-level, could see through his carefully laid disguise!

A sudden whooshing sound came from mid-air, and Ye Xiu, who had been lying in ambush, appeared in mid-air, assuming a defensive stance and beginning his dramatic performance:

"I suspected something was amiss after the last attack, and sure enough, someone was targeting you. Today, you must explain your origins!"

Eilet didn't bother with any words, and with a wave of his hand, he cast several instant spells, causing Adrian's energy to surge.

Seeing this, Shana, who was providing support from the outside, decisively took action and blasted through the outer wall of the base to join the battle.

Since the infiltration failed, the three top-tier superhumans, who are close to A+, can still quickly end the battle by joining forces to launch a strong attack!

"You really think I'm unprepared?" Ye Xiu dodged the attack with ease and grinned.

Before he finished speaking, several powerful auras shot into the sky. Nagokin, accompanied by two Godora executives, charged out from their ambush.

This was originally a trump card reserved for the enemy's main base, but now it's perfect for creating the illusion of a stalemate.

Choosing to start the war on the Godora colony was to make it convenient for government personnel to "happily" pass by and help, so that there would be no overflow of combat power and that it would be reasonable to let them win.

Eret frowned. Although he wasn't afraid of four Cataclysmic-class enemies working together, the colony's fleet support could arrive at any moment.

The three exchanged glances, tacitly reaching a consensus.

They had no doubt that it was all an act. After all, who would expect the other side to launch such a large-scale attack based on just one assault?

Moreover, if the aliens truly knew their background, they would at least prepare an equal force to encircle and annihilate them.

"You can't escape today!" Ye Xiu continued to escalate the situation.

"Ha, these small fry?" Eret scoffed as he took to the air. Four Cataclysmic-level beings were indeed troublesome, but they were far from enough to hold them off.

The seven figures collided with a deafening roar, and the resulting energy turbulence directly blew away half of the base.

The peripheral players were knocked off balance by the aftershocks.

Even spectating was a struggle for them, with their health bars plummeting as they reached level 90. All they could do was spam the chat with messages.

"Is this a showdown between the highest-level players in the current version?"

"Please raise the level cap soon, developers!"

Rumble.

The seven Calamity-level powerhouses fought fiercely, and although Ye Xiu and Nagojin deliberately restrained their power, the base still suffered damage.

However, Ye Xiu wasn't too distressed. The surface structure was destroyed, so be it; rebuilding wouldn't be expensive anyway.

He's long since reached the point where "money is just a number," so this little expense is nothing to him when it comes to catching these three big fish.

Ellette and Adrian are the main force.

The old magician was throwing out high-level spells like they were free, the colorful magical effects were dazzling, and it looked as relaxed as taking a stroll.

Adrian, this muscular hunk, was responsible for acting as a meat shield, single-handedly carrying Nagokin and the other two martial artists in close combat, the fighting was incredibly intense and exciting.

The trio worked together to completely overwhelm Nagokin and his group, while Ye Xiu fought back and forth with Shana on the sidelines.

In fact, Nagokin and his two companions, all martial artists, were no match for the other side; Adrian alone was enough to hold them off.

However, Ellett and his men had no intention of fighting to the death; they retreated into space as the fighting progressed.

After all, this is Godora's territory, and if we don't leave now, it will be troublesome once the fleet surrounds us.

When it comes to escaping, Ellette is a professional. With teleportation magic at her fingertips, she can roam freely throughout the entire galaxy.

The thought that the aliens actually wanted to ambush them almost made the old man burst out laughing. Wasn't that just a pipe dream?

Waaah.

Suddenly, the roar of engines came from the horizon, and the garrison fleet dispatched over a hundred warships that were rushing towards this location.

"Don't waste time with the fleet, retreat!" Eileen told Adrian to hold off the pressure, and casually conjured a portal. The energy vortex opened with a "whoosh."

"Oh no! He can teleport!" Nagokin shouted dramatically, and Ye Xiu glanced at him, wanting to applaud.

That facial expression control, that intense eye acting—it's definitely Oscar-worthy performance.

The old man then cast a magical shield, enveloping the three of them, ignoring the clanging and banging outside.

Shana and Adrian made their escape first, and before leaving, Ellette gloated to Ye Xiu, "I told you not to be so confident. You think you can hold someone back with this level of ambush?"

Ye Xiu immediately turned grim and unleashed a barrage of attacks, slamming the shield down with resounding thuds.

I must say, he actually put on a convincing act.

Seeing his "furious" appearance, Eileen felt much better, turned around, and ran away through the portal.

Only after everyone had completely disappeared did Ye Xiu put away the "angry face" emoji.

Although the fight lasted only a short time, the surrounding streets were already mostly destroyed.

Nagokin, wiping his sweat, leaned closer and said, "Just who are these people? Their strength is terrifying. You'd better be careful."

"Don't worry, they can't escape." Ye Xiu smiled but didn't reply, though he was secretly overjoyed.

This was a huge win. Not only did they figure out Eilet's teleportation skill, but they also made the enemy think they had successfully escaped.

When we turn around and take down their hideout, let's see how smug this old man will still be!

After dismissing the players and repair team who had come to join the fun, Ye Xiu turned on the monitoring marker and began tracking the trio's movements in real time.

The portal that Eilet hastily activated had a limited effective range. When the three returned to the spaceship through the spatial passage, the silver ship was hovering in orbit around the outer edge of the colony.

As soon as they entered the cabin, they retreated at full speed, activating an invisibility field to block tracking signals.

Getting caught up with by the garrison fleet would be troublesome.

After escaping danger, the three had no doubt that Ye Xiu had deliberately let them go. After all, it was reasonable for them to break through using Ellet's spatial ability. They simply assumed that the other party had underestimated their combat power and that the encirclement they had set up was not tight enough.

They considered breaking through this impasse easily as routine, and were too lazy to even review the entire process.

"The mission was botched, should we look for another opportunity?" Shana asked, fiddling with her tactical goggles.

"That guy was more alert than I thought; he laid a trap on our first attempt."

Eilet pulled up the star map and shook his head. "This direct confrontation is tantamount to openly expressing hostility. He will have to live in paranoia for the next few years. Making a move now would be like walking into a trap."

The threat he made before leaving was actually a planted seed by Eileen.

He intends to keep his target on high alert for years, until their nerves finally relax and they discover that no one has attacked at all. This psychological tactic is far more interesting than actual combat.

Shana kicked the control panel in frustration: "This is so frustrating!"

"I would suggest that Albert move the target to the watch list." Eret opened the encrypted communication interface.

The organization has two hunting systems. Prey that fails on the first attempt will be placed under observation for five years, and the prey will only be exposed again when the target lowers its guard.

The silver-haired female warrior crossed her arms and sneered, "It should have been dealt with this way a long time ago. Who would have thought this guy would be as cautious as a thousand-year-old tortoise?"

"It's not too late to close the net now." A cold smile appeared on Ellett's lips. "Although our existence has been exposed, he still knows nothing about us."

For the next few years, we'll be like hibernating vipers, waiting for our prey to think the danger is over.

The starlight outside the porthole suddenly distorted, and before the spaceship plunged into hyperspace, he added one last thing:

"Have the intelligence team prepare ten sets of false identities, and suspend all hunting operations for the next three years."

……

Many people witnessed the alien being attacked, and the news quickly spread within the community.

However, there has been so much news about the broken star ring lately, with major events happening every day. Although Alien is a big name in the Colton Cluster, in the entire star ring region, its fame is like a grain of sand falling into the desert, making no ripples at all.

By two weeks later, the news had been completely overshadowed by other explosive news.

At this moment, Ye Xiu was standing on the surface of a desolate planet, with sand and gravel flying everywhere under his feet as the spaceship's engines blew them around.

This uninhabited planet, located near the desolate cosmic zone, has been silent for thousands of years, but today it is bustling with activity as if it were a festival.

All the forces that had been contacted earlier had arrived. As far as the eye could see, there were countless spaceships, like metal beetles crowding the entire Gobi Desert.

Each company initially thought they had an exclusive operation, but they were all dumbfounded when they arrived.

Representatives from different star systems looked at each other, and many big names in the Shattered Star Ring recognized each other.

After some private whispering, they realized that everyone had come looking for the missing master. A chill ran down everyone's spine.

The disappearance of so many powerful figures must have caused a huge uproar! What juicy secret has this guy surnamed Ye uncovered?

As Ye Xiu's spaceship pierced the atmosphere, hundreds of eyes turned towards the sky.

They were immediately surrounded by a huge crowd upon landing. These big shots, who could usually shake half a star system with a stomp of their feet, looked like old folks scrambling for bargains at a market.

If the overlord Herber saw this spectacle, he would probably think someone had plagiarized his famous idea of ​​a hegemon's assembly.

"Old Ye, when are we going to make our move?"

"What's the point of hiding? Quickly reveal where the enemy's hideout is!"

Amidst the cacophony of questions, Ye Xiu leisurely straightened his collar.

He didn't explain things clearly when we contacted him before, leaving everyone waiting, which made many people unhappy.

However, when everyone caught sight of Ames standing with her arms crossed, they immediately swallowed back the complaints that were about to come out of their mouths.

The prestige bestowed by the Dragon Throne is far more effective than a pass in the Shattered Star Ring.

"The time is ripe." Ye Xiu raised his hand to silence the noise. "Those bastards are all holed up in their den now, and the person you're looking for is squatting in their dungeon."

He shook the locator on his wrist; the tracking markers on Shana and the other two indicated that they had finally returned to their nest.

This time, we have to wipe them out completely, no matter what. After all, the alien army is no longer the small fry that fought guerrilla warfare against the Sprout Organization back then.

Now we have money and manpower, so we should seize every opportunity to take advantage of it, lest things get complicated.

Looking at the huge crowd around him, Ye Xiu was secretly delighted.

The elite troops sent by each faction combined could probably plow half of the Star Ring three times over.

There are at least twenty calamity-level threats that can be counted, not to mention those strange interstellar weapons.

Using this kind of force to deal with six unlucky guys is like using a planet-destroying cannon to kill a mosquito.

But he likes these kinds of dominant games.

While Ye Xiu was arguing with various parties, the players he brought were squatting in the shadow of the spaceship, eating sunflower seeds.

These "tools" lured in by the mission don't need to fight; they just need to act as human cameras, broadcasting the live situation to the forum.

After all, if you're going to show off, you have to go all the way. Let all the players on the server see what real prestige looks like. That's more effective than grinding through countless dungeons.

Meanwhile, in a secret base deep within the desolate cosmic zone, the three returning members of the Ellett family are being lectured by Albert.

"Stay put and don't do anything for now. We'll talk again once things have calmed down."

The leader, wearing a single eyepiece, tapped on a holographic map.

They had no idea that, 30,000 kilometers above them, the cannons of more than seventy warships had already been fully charged.

Kernid slowly opened his eyes. Outside the pale blue energy barrier were transparent cells arranged in a honeycomb pattern.

He turned his stiff neck and saw the prisoners next door, who were also imprisoned.

Everyone here is a target, marked as prey.

The feeling of restraint on my limbs was still clear. The restraint rings made of a special alloy were deeply embedded in my flesh, and the device on my wrist extended into countless micron-sized probes, reaching my heart and brainstem through the blood vessels.

The ankle inhibitor releases interference pulses every thirty seconds, keeping the super-genes dormant.

Not to mention the dark metal ring around his neck; the weakness brought on by the high-level enchantment made it difficult for him to even clench his fist.

When he was first locked up, he was shocked to find that he was surrounded by well-known and powerful figures.

Those once formidable figures who dominated the starry sea are now as listless as star beasts whose teeth have been pulled.

His attempt to escape three days ago had extinguished his hopes. Even the Marsians next door, who could ignite stars with their minds, couldn't break free of their restraints.

He gradually resigned himself to his fate until he heard a sigh coming from next door.

In the cell diagonally opposite, a gray-haired man with a look of utter despair was huddled up; that was Raki, the Cataclysmic Lone Wolf who had been imprisoned for twelve years.

Whenever the prisoners tried to find humor in their suffering and boasted about their past glories, this man would always say something depressing like, "Our ashes will be used as fertilizer for potted plants."

The hum of the metal gate opening interrupted my thoughts.

The moment the three figures stepped into the prison, a chorus of angry roars erupted: "Do you know the price of seizing the Amethyst Throne?!"

"Wait until I get out of here."

The silver-haired man in the lead ignored all threats and walked straight to the monitoring terminal.

When the purple-eyed woman stopped in front of Kernid's cell, he slammed his fist on the barrier: "The Lightrunner civilization's fleet will raze this place to the ground sooner or later!"

"Ten years have passed, and thirty-seven forces have said those words." A faint male voice suddenly drifted from next door. "Now they've all changed their names to Dust of History."

The woman with purple eyes twitched her lips, then turned and handed the data panel to her companion.

The silver-haired leader suddenly turned around and scanned the entire room: "Three days later, you will be cryogenically sealed until you are reawakened."

He paused deliberately, "It should be in a laboratory in some distant star system."

In the deathly silence, Raki's mutterings were exceptionally clear: "I bet they'll turn Kernid's brain nerves into a star map projector."

Just as the person named was about to lash out, freezing gas began to be injected into the cell.

Through the rising icy mist, the last thing he saw was Raki's bitter face, which seemed to say, "I told you so."

Boom!!!

A sudden, deafening roar, like a muffled thunderclap, erupted from the ground!

The entire prison began to shake violently, plaster crumbled from the walls, and Albert stumbled, nearly hitting his tongue with his teeth, and cried out, "What the hell is going on?"

"Something's happened outside!" Before Ellett could finish speaking, the three of them had already smashed open the prison's iron gate and rushed out.

The prisoners huddled together in the corridor, some excitedly pounding on the railings: "Could it be reinforcements arriving?"

These words were like a spark thrown into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting an uproar throughout the entire prison area.

Only Raki, sitting in the corner, hugged his knees and muttered to himself:

"Even if reinforcements do come, they probably won't be able to defeat them. They might be wiped out in the blink of an eye, their warships blown to pieces, and everyone inside blasted to dust. There might even be your brothers, subordinates, or relatives inside. In the end, they'll force you to eat them, first breaking your spirit before slowly dealing with you."

"Shut up!"

As the tremors intensified, the three rushed back to the command center, where their three companions were peering out the window.

As soon as Albert pushed open the blast door, the blinding sunlight made him squint.

Their painstakingly constructed underground fortress was now being forcibly pulled out of the earth's crust by an invisible giant hand!

The sight of two figures suspended in mid-air shocked everyone.

With a slight lift of her hand, the entire block crumbled into pieces at her fingertips, like Lego bricks being torn apart by a child.

"Damn it! How did they get here?!" Ellette's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Three days ago they had just raided the alien's lair, so this backup base shouldn't be in the enemy's intelligence network at all.

Unless he suddenly recalled how easily he had broken through the encirclement, and a metallic taste rose in his throat. That was nothing short of a trap!

Shana bit her lip hard, her nails digging into her palms.

If they hadn't been so reckless in the last operation, it would have been the other side whose base had been destroyed.

Albert forced himself to calm down. Although he knew the alien planet was dangerous, the speed of the enemy's lightning-fast counterattack still exceeded his expectations.

His gaze swept over the figure in the black robes fluttering in the air, and he suddenly roared at the top of his lungs:

"What's the panic! Super A-rank isn't a god, Ellette. We'll keep the Dragon Throne occupied, and you activate the teleportation array when you get an opening!"

Before the words were finished, a buzzing sound like the flapping of wings suddenly came from the sky.

Countless streaks of light pierced the sky and hovered above Ye Xiu.

The massive fleet of warships, blotting out the sky, deployed its cannons, and more than thirty Cataclysmic-level powerhouses fell like meteors, instantly completing the encirclement.

"Fire."

Ye Xiu gave his opponent no time to react, snapping his fingers. Villains die from talking too much? He wouldn't make that mistake.

"Run!!" Albert's eyes widened in horror.

However, the spatial vortex that Eilet had just created suddenly twisted and collapsed, and in the distance, the red-robed mage's staff was flashing blue light. They had been anchored in space long ago!

The six people huddled together back to back, watching the steel torrent pressing in from all directions, and finally understood what it meant to have no way to escape.

A battle could break out at any moment. Albert and his six companions were surrounded, but instead of waiting to be killed, they fought their way out.

Although they were all top-notch experts, the numerical advantage of dozens of Calamity-level enemies on the other side completely offset the difference in their strength, and the six of them frequently encountered fatal dangers.

Only Super A-level beings can calmly cope with an attack of this scale. Although they are powerful, they are still A-level beings and their strength has not yet made a qualitative leap.

Amidst the deafening explosions, dozens of powerful warriors from the Heavenly Calamity Realm were locked in a chaotic battle.

The battlefield spanned hundreds of kilometers, with the ground constantly cracking and trembling, and shockwaves scraping away more than a dozen layers of the surface.

A series of special abilities were unleashed, completely altering the original landscape:

Here are lava pools formed from melting rocks, there are piles of rocks frozen into powder, and there are areas of soil that have been burned into crystals by high temperatures.

Following Ye Xiu's pre-arranged tactics, several mages kept a close eye on Elet, and immediately used counterspells and energy interference to block him whenever he made any casting motions.

Ellett was both anxious and angry, having been relentlessly pursued. He had just used teleportation to escape Ye Xiu's trap not long ago, and now he was filled with regret.

The other party had clearly made specific arrangements to counter his spatial magic.

Albert, the strongest of the six, unleashed his full power, his mental energy sweeping across the entire area like a tsunami, attempting to buy Eilete a chance to cast a spell.

Unfortunately, the number of enemies far exceeded expectations, and he couldn't find a breakthrough despite his best efforts.

Looking at the densely packed fleet of warships in the sky, and the menacing Super A-class Dragon Throne, Albert felt a deep sense of despair.

This force is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the regular army of a star cluster-level civilization!

I knew alien planets were dangerous, but I never imagined they would be this terrifying!

Inside the spaceship, the players who had come with Ye Xiu to join in the fun were incredibly excited.

Where had they ever seen a scene of dozens of A-level big shots ganging up on each other?

The last time I was this shocked was when I watched a replay of the Dragon Throne smashing the mothership in the previous version.

Right now, players are glued to the viewing window, frantically recording videos, even holding their pee, unwilling to leave, afraid of missing a single exciting moment. This is definitely epic material that will dominate the forums!

These players had heard on the way that Ye Xiu had orchestrated this grand scheme, and that the faction leader was making a big move; it felt like watching the main storyline animation of a version update.

Ye Xiu himself was quite relaxed, since he had so many thugs around, he didn't need to lift a finger.

Regarding the mission rewards, he originally wanted to wait until he met Fording before settling the second stage of the mission, but considering that attacking the main camp might trigger the third stage of the mission, he claimed the rewards first.

The fact that the third quest didn't appear means there are even bigger fish to catch later.

Ye Xiu wasn't in a hurry. Even if the system hadn't issued a mission, he would still take down the enemy's hideout and investigate the background of this mysterious organization.

This time, I didn't get any luck from Fordring; as expected, I only got Adrian's common feat, "Steel Bones."

With +30 Strength, +20 Stamina, and over 3,000 more Health, it's the most practical of the five options.

Bang bang bang.

The battle was completely one-sided and ended very quickly.

Albert and his six companions didn't even have a chance to struggle before they were beaten black and blue and pinned to the ground, their masks even being ripped off.

Their faces were a mixture of anger and resentment, and their eyes still held a lingering sense of disbelief and horror.

I never imagined I would be so thoroughly defeated by aliens.

Ye Xiu glanced around and nodded in satisfaction. He had finally caught all the fish that had slipped through the net.

He casually tossed aside the kill list, his razor-sharp gaze piercing Albert, the leader: "Tell me, who's behind this, ordering you to capture people in the Shattered Ring? Where did this list come from?"

"How did you get this?!" Albert's pupils contracted sharply, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

The woman named Shana suddenly realized what had happened. They had been exposed all along; it wasn't a mistake on her part that alerted the enemy.

"Stubborn?" Ye Xiu tilted his head behind him, and a dozen or so Calamity-level experts immediately surrounded him, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Albert's Adam's apple bobbed twice, then he suddenly grinned coldly: "Anyway, I'm going to die, unless..."

"Want to live?" Ye Xiu interrupted him directly. "At most, you can choose a more comfortable way to die."

Albert paused for a moment, then dropped a bombshell: "It's the Krent Empire."

The moment those words were spoken, the scene erupted in chaos.

Several representatives of various factions, their eyes red with anger, were about to rush out to settle scores, but the envoy from the Amethyst Civilization secretly curled the corners of his mouth.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, getting dirty water thrown on an old rival is a win.

Ye Xiu stroked his chin without speaking. The mission prompt had already indicated that the truth was not simple, and Krent had taken the blame far too easily.

However, seeing the agitated crowd, he suddenly changed his mind.

Forget whether it's true or not, let's stir things up first.

Anyway, we have the man in our hands, so we can find out the truth whenever we want. Right now, it's perfect to make Krent the target.

"The evidence is all in the safe at our base," Albert added fuel to the fire. "Krent wants to destabilize the Star Ring and use us to eliminate him."

"That's enough." Ye Xiu raised his hand to stop them from speaking, then turned to give everyone a meaningful smile:

"Did everyone hear that?" He knew all too well what these forces needed. Whether it was the truth or not was unimportant; what mattered was that everyone was now willing to believe this "truth."

Once the rumors spread throughout the Star Ring, Krent couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into a black hole.

At this moment, the rescue team returned with the prisoners from the prison.

With the help of their companions, the unfortunate group of people finally had their restraints removed and were no longer unable to stand up.

"Finally, rescue has arrived!"

"I didn't expect so many brothers to come."

Kernid and the others looked around as if they had been transported to another world. Many of the rescued people quickly walked towards their own camp after discovering members of their organization.

Through conversation, they quickly learned that it was the alien legion that provided crucial intelligence that enabled the rescue.

One after another, people flocked to Ye Xiu to express their gratitude, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

"If it weren't for your help, we probably would have been doomed in this godforsaken place."

"I'll remember this kindness. Please let me know if you need anything in the future!"

"Alien brother, from this day forward, we're bound by a life-or-death bond!"

Ye Xiu smiled and responded to each question one by one, as the information on the panel kept changing.

The favorability ratings of these factions collectively jumped to the friendly level, especially for those directly rescued like Kernid, whose ratings increased most significantly.

When he proposed maintaining the cooperation, everyone readily agreed.

After all, putting aside the life-saving grace, the alien legion itself is a force worth befriending, not to mention that it has a top powerhouse like Dragon Throne Ames in charge.

This rescue operation rapidly expanded Ye Xiu's social circle, and the envoys of the Purple Crystal Civilization also gained a great deal.

Several factions immediately expressed their willingness to join Organization Zero in fighting against Krent.

As the matchmaker, Ye Xiu gained 2000 points of favorability with the Purple Crystal, bringing him one step closer to his goal of exchanging for cutting-edge knowledge.

Ye Xiu was also thinking about another gain: those lone powerhouses at the Calamity level who were imprisoned.

While most A-level superhumans declined the invitation to join the faction, a disheveled, bearded man unexpectedly agreed to join the alien legion.

"If I can recruit even one, I'll be rolling in it!" Ye Xiu thought to himself with delight.

He was originally the only A-level combatant in the legion, but now that number has doubled, and the overall strength has increased instantly.

What surprised him even more was the sentence the man who called himself Raki muttered while shaking hands.

Just call me Raki.

"Brother, don't say that. You're underestimating yourself."

Ye Xiu patted the other man on the shoulder and laughed, but in his heart he was plotting how to cheer up this dejected fellow. (End of this chapter)
