Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Anyone who dares to start a disturbance before the competition begins is slapping His Majesty the Emperor in the face, so it is absolutely forbidden.

However, in this vast universe, there are always those who are swayed by emotions and dare to ignore the blatant presence of troops from two top-tier cosmic powers. So, in recent days, although both sides have been deploying more and more troops, the number of disturbances has continued to increase along with the number of participants.

Just like now.

"Bogaru, die! Die! Die, die, die! Kill him right now, ahhh!!"

Clad in vengeful armor imbued with the soul of Arbok, the azure-blue Hikari, having finally arrived in this region today after chasing the hideous Bogard.

He ignored everything around him, turning a deaf ear to the various precepts that were constantly being played in this place by the Kingdom of Light and the Empire of Empera; all that remained in his eyes was burning rage.

Finally, finally!

He finally got close to Bogaru once again. This time, even if it meant mutual destruction, he was determined to kill the damned devourer that had ruined Arbos!

The arrival of Bogaru and Hikari immediately attracted the attention of the other aliens and monsters present, who all turned to look at them.

Without a word, Kassadin and Mefilas each led a small team and rushed over, while Babar, Zoffy, and Jack kept a close watch on the others to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation—most importantly, they were wary of each other.

"Ultraman Kasa, what's this? Are you trying to break the law? We've agreed that no one is allowed to cause trouble here!"

This was a battle of wits that everyone could see.

While it appeared that both sides were trying to stop the unrest, in reality, the guards led by Kasa were deliberately blocking the advance of Mefilas's group by crossing their routes, thus delaying their progress.

"What are you talking about, Mefilas? We agreed that the first offense would only result in a verbal warning and a stop to the transgression. Isn't that exactly what I'm about to do?"

Kasa spoke with righteous indignation and an imposing, dignified air: "I'm more than capable of handling such trivial matters. You don't have that much free time, do you, Mefilas? I'm doing this for your own good!"

"What a coincidence! I'm not busy at all right now. I just want to contribute to peace and stability. I'm doing this with good intentions, so please don't try to take this mission from me, or you'll be preventing me from turning over a new leaf, Kasa!"

Mefilas was even more righteous, his righteousness shining brightly.

The physical confrontation between the two sides was ten times more serious than their verbal sparring.

Mefilas knew very well that Hikari had always been the most outstanding scientist in the history of the Land of Light, the strongest in history, the strongest in modern times, and possibly the strongest in the future.

No matter how much time passes or how many people appear, it's highly unlikely that a scientist more extraordinary than Hikari will ever emerge again.

This is a being that can threaten His Majesty the Emperor.

Although reluctant to admit it, Mefilas had to acknowledge that if Hikari were allowed to live, he might develop new technologies capable of threatening or even killing His Majesty the Emperor after resolving his deep-seated problem with Bogaru and returning to the Land of Light.

Even if we can't kill Hikari in front of everyone, we must at least imprison him in our hands and never let him return to the Land of Light!

This requires Mefilas to arrive at Hikari faster and earlier than Kassadin.

But precisely because he was also aware of these circumstances, Kassadin was even less likely to allow Mefilas to do such a thing.

Kassa really wanted to help Hikari behead Bogaru. To him, Bogaru was just a matter of him wielding his guillotine. Unfortunately, he couldn't help.

Whether it's due to Hikari's own mindset or to avoid giving Mefilas an excuse to attack, the best he can do now is to hold off Mefilas's group and create a short window of opportunity for Hikari to kill Bogaru in a one-on-one fight.

If Hikari can make good use of this time, everything will be much easier!

"Go for it, Hikari!"

Hikari, on whom high hopes were placed, has fallen.

Although the Armor of Vengeance and the Knight's Aura have greatly enhanced his combat power, and he is now a formidable swordsman in the universe, Hikari is still too inexperienced.

He is one of the very few people in the Land of Light who was born in the past 30,000 years but has not participated much in Ultra training.

From a young age, Hikari had a clear goal. He knew his talent in science and was willing to dedicate himself to this field. Therefore, he spent most of his time learning scientific knowledge and conducting research and development from a young age.

Even with the boost from two pieces of equipment, he was still just that.

To ordinary people in the universe, it would be natural to consider Hikari a swordsman, because he has the aura of a knight and his blade is indeed sharp.

However, if we had to say something, at least in the eyes of mature Ultra Brothers, Hikari's swordsmanship was clearly a bit awkward and out of place.

Hikari in this state does not have the strength to completely overwhelm Bogaru. In fact, in the numerous battles between the two, whether Hikari can gain the upper hand has basically depended on luck.

This time, however, luck was on Bogaru's side.

"Tear!"

Hikari's red light was flashing, and Bogaru's sharp hand was about to strike viciously. It was already drooling, ready to savor the taste of the Ultra Warrior.

"No injuries are allowed before the match begins. That's all!"

Just a second ago, Bogaru was so excited that her whole body was boiling, but in the next instant, she felt as if her whole body had been frozen solid, trembling as she looked at the person blocking her way.

Kasa carried a familiar scent, a scent that Bogaru knew better than anyone else—the scent of its own kind's blood and corpses.

The Ultra Warrior before us, who easily blocked its strongest attack with all its power with one hand, undoubtedly killed countless Bogaru many times, including some of its own kind who were stronger than it!

In a flash, Bogaru staged a desperate act of sacrificing his hand to save himself, deliberately severing the hand that the terrifying executioner was holding, and retreating at top speed, creating a huge distance between himself and Kassa.

If it didn't do that, the lingering aura of its deceased kin on Kasa would make it feel as if it were suffocating and dying at any moment!

This is favoritism—in public, Kassadin clearly acted in a biased manner.

Although his favoritism was very restrained, perfectly within the rules, he never laid a hand on Bogaru from beginning to end, and did not harm Bogaru in the slightest. He simply stopped Hikari and Bogaru's turmoil in a timely manner according to the rules.

But everyone knew that if Hikari had the upper hand, Kassadin wouldn't have arrived so promptly; he would have been "delayed."

This kind of favoritism is understandable, but Mefilas is also well aware that even if it is understandable, only Kassadin and Belial in the entire Land of Light would do such a thing.

People like Jack and Zoffy wouldn't do that. Although they didn't stop Caesar from doing what he did, whether they took the initiative or not is a clear dividing line.

At the same time, Mefilas also knew another point: if the person who had a blood feud with Hikari was not Bogaru, even if it were Kassadin, he would not have shown such favoritism, but would have stopped it fairly and justly at the first opportunity.

Kassa did this because it was Bogaru.

The difference is quite simple: Bodhidharma has no human rights.

Before the First Ultra War, because the Bogaru race possessed highly intelligent individuals, both the Land of Light and the Emperor Empire regarded this race as an equal to other aliens.

However, after the First Ultra War, the former evil general King Bogaru, relying on his immense power, committed atrocities and devoured countless planets without restraint.

This also includes a great deal of territory and life within the empire.

At first, Emperor Alien only gave a warning because of the contributions the evil general had made to him. However, King Bogaru ignored the warning and continued to act willfully to the extreme. In the end, Emperor Alien sealed him away in anger.

The Bogaru race may produce highly intelligent individuals, but no matter how intelligent they are, they cannot escape the instinct to disregard everything and devour all life and planets in the universe.

Let alone aliens, Bogaru is not even a monster anymore. This high-dimensional predatory life form is actually close to pure evil like Juda. Just the fact that it is alive is a threat to the entire universe.

The reason it hasn't been completely wiped out by the entire universe is that both the Land of Light and the Emperor Empire are still somewhat hesitant about whether to really make such a judgment on Bogaru.

After all, the highly intelligent individuals of the Bogaru race sometimes behave like communicative aliens, which makes people hesitant. This always makes some good-natured people in the Land of Light wonder if there is a chance to bring Bogaru back to the right path.

Meanwhile, the Emperor's Empire was waiting for the former evil general, King Bogaru, to change his mind and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. It was for this reason that the Emperor's people only sealed King Bogaru away instead of beheading him.

Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, in the eyes of almost all civilizations in the universe, the Bogaru race has already been judged as purely evil.

Therefore, although Kassadin's biased behavior was blatant, no one objected—after all, no one wants to be left out when attacked by Bogaru, right?

"Tsk!"

Mefilas approached a step too late, his gaze fixed on Hikari, but it was too late; he had no chance to snatch away the universe's most powerful scientist.

Since that's the case—

Mefilas made the exchange: "For safety's sake, I'll take Bogaru to my side and keep her under surveillance until the match begins. Is that alright?"

If Kassa doesn't agree, he won't concede on Hikari's side either.

If Kassa agrees, he can equip Bogaru with various technologies before the match begins. While it may not reach the peak level of Chang'ao, it would be more than enough to make Bogaru much stronger than she is now.

Given Hikari's current state, he will definitely still have to fight Bogaru in the ring. At that time, Bogaru will kill Hikari in one move, completely annihilating him until his soul is destroyed, so that even the life solidification technology will not be able to save him in time!

There are always ways to move forward, no matter what, and that's Mefilas's open strategy.

Kassa saw through the situation perfectly, but he could only approve the deal: "If Bogaru has no objections, then please proceed."

Bogaru, of course, had no objections. Mefilas's telekinesis had already directly linked to Bogaru's mind, painting several rosy pictures for him.

While Bogaru had no objections, Hikari did. He swung his Ultra Sword, ignoring the current situation despite his battered body, his only thought was to fight: "Let me go! My revenge is not over yet!"

"This isn't revenge, this is courting death!"

Kassa's voice turned serious, and he delivered a punch that completely neutralized Hikari's last ounce of energy. "Do you think the life forms of Arbok want to see you like this?!"

"Even if they don't want to see it, I must atone for my sins!"

Hikari roared angrily, "I've let them down. I failed to protect them. Killing Bogaru is something I have to do. If I can't do it, the life forms of Arbok will never forgive me!"

"Are you sure?"

Seeing Hikari's self-destructive behavior, Kassadin shook his head, extended his left hand, and touched Hikari. The next second, the remaining power of the Star Voice within Hikari was transmitted out and flowed continuously into Hikari's body.

"Don't misinterpret Arbok's prayers for you. They are not armor of revenge; they were created solely to protect you."

"Only the Voice of the Stars truly understands the Voice of the Stars, the voice of life of the Arbos. Now, let you truly hear it!"

Chapter 146 The Resonance of the Stars, the Evil God's Trail Arrives.

Arbok are pure life forms that resemble transparent crystal cylinders and drift like willow catkins. They harbor no malice toward anything in the universe, only boundless goodwill, and their moral standards are among the highest of all life forms in the entire universe.

In Hikari's eyes, such lives shone even brighter than the Land of Light. However, Bogaru destroyed all that beauty, and the lives of Arb were never to be seen again—this was what Hikari had always thought before.

But now, the scene before him has overturned his understanding.

Am I dreaming?

Hikari stared blankly, mesmerized by the scene before him. Countless Arbok life forms swirled around him, just as peaceful as in the past.

"This is where the soul resides, a liminal boundary between life and death, and a special dimension that only the Voice of the Stars can reach. This is not a dream."

The voices of the Arbok beings were gentle and melodious, even after their destruction, unblinded by any hatred.

"But if that's the case, why did I come here?"

Hikari asked in confusion, "And why has everyone shrunk so much?"

“Because we are already dead, Hikari.”

The Arbok life forms drifted gently, "It is only because of the power of prophecy that we remain on that armor, with a final, faint existence."

"Armor? That's right..."

Hikari murmured, finally breaking free from the peaceful filter of this reunion. He clenched his fists in self-reproach and lowered his head. "I did nothing. You gave me the armor of revenge, yet I couldn't kill Bogaru for so long. I'm a useless person!"

"That's not armor for revenge."

The Arbok life forms spoke softly, drifting around Hikari, "Our demise was foretold long ago. Although it is regrettable that we did not receive the final hope, we have already perished, so it is time to look forward."
