After a few more hours, they left their rooms and walked straight to the museum.
The artifacts in the museum only had commemorative meaning, and the surveillance equipment in that region was of a lower grade. Feidin took out an army-made automatic infiltration device. Just when he was about to plug it into the door, he was stopped by Aurora.
“Are you going to walk in like this?” Aurora asked doubtfully. “The alarm will sound.”
“I know,” Feidin said slowly. “Since Black Star wants the item, it will be impossible for them to fight back. I do not like to bully the weak, and they aren’t a bunch of evil people. Even if I want to take the item, I must let them know the reason. I am not willing to act like a thief.”
“This isn’t good, right? What if Black Star has his own intentions?” Aurora hesitated.
Truthfully, she also felt that it was beneath them to act like thieves.
“He didn’t make any special requests. Even if he does… he will only blame me.”
Feidin smiled, walked into the room openly, and picked up the Box of Enticement.
Di di di…
He ignored the ear-piercing alarm and led Aurora toward the entrance of the spaceship.
He did not face any restrictions along the way and only met Raymond, Slade, and the other members of the Punisher Alliance by the hatch of the spaceship.
“Why do both of you want to steal the Box of Enticement?” Raymond had a bitter look on his face and was not willing to believe what he had seen.
Slade gritted his teeth and said coldly, “I almost believed both of you! Both of you had other intentions indeed!”
“Perhaps they were enticed by the Box of Enticement…” Raymond looked at Feidin with a complicated gaze and a trace of hope in his eyes.
“I’m sorry.” Feidin shook his head and said calmly, “I am here for this item.”
Raymond could not help but ask, “Was it a scheme for you to save me?”
“Would you believe me if I said that it was luck?” Feidin said helplessly.
Slade then walked out from the crowd and pointed his weapon at the two. “I said it before. If I discover that both of you have other intentions, I will not show any mercy. Since you have already admitted to it, place the Box of Enticement down and give up on resisting or face the power of my weapon!”
Feidin looked at the agitated group and said slowly, “Aura and I saved all of you more than once during the battle on Enya Hub. Are all of you really going to fight us?”
Upon hearing that, it was as though they were doused with cold water.
He was right. If not for her healing abilities, they would have suffered heavy losses on Enya Hub. It would not be too much to say that both of them had saved all of their lives. Although they had other intentions, it was not a lie that both of them had saved them all before.
Everyone immediately had a look of difficulty on their face and lost the will to fight.
Slade was the same, but he immediately threw away such emotions and gripped his weapon tightly. “This is an unrelated matter! You will become our enemies if you want to steal the Box of Enticement! We will not let you leave!”
Feidin then glanced at the group and sat on the ground.
“Alright. I won’t be leaving then.”
Everyone was stunned.
“What are you doing?” Raymond asked.
“Waiting for someone to pick me up.” He then closed his eyes and meditated.
“You truly have character.” Aurora, who was by the side, then glanced at the group and said helplessly, “Why are all of you still holding onto your weapons? Do all of you really want to attack me?”
Slade had a look of hesitation on his face. After thinking for a while, he decided to keep his weapon while watching Feidin by the side on high alert.
Just when everyone was on high alert, the hatch opened, and a black figure stood outside the spaceship.
The members of the Punisher Alliance immediately turned around and were astounded.
The one who had arrived was Black Star!
“You you you…” Raymond’s eyes widened to no end; he was dumbfounded.
Han Xiao glanced at him before bringing his Black Star Guards over to Feidin.
The members of the Punisher Alliance immediately opened a path with a look of shock on their faces. Why was Black Star there? Just what was going on‽
He then looked at Feidin and said with resignation, “Why do you have to trouble me to make an appearance for such a small matter? Stop playing already.”
Feidin smiled and stood up. “You know my personality.”
“That’s right. I’ve known your personality ever since we were on Sunil.” Han Xiao rubbed his head helplessly and joked, “If you continue to be so reckless, I won’t dare use you in the future.”
“I know how to differentiate between important and unimportant matters. I do not wish to lower my bottom line for such a small matter. Besides, you shouldn’t have asked me to be a thief.” Feidin blinked.
“Sigh, it is truly so difficult to avoid work.” Han Xiao groaned.
Every protagonist had their own principals, and it was impossible to order them around without restraint. It seemed as though they would not be able to display how extraordinary they were if they did not cause some trouble.
Upon hearing their conversation, everyone was dumbfounded.
Slade was a little anxious and could not help but cry out, “Just who exactly are you‽”
Hadavy looked over and snorted. “He is called Feidin, vice commander of the Black Star Guards.”
Slade’s body froze in place upon hearing that.
He could not believe that he had actually interacted with such a character.
Such a character could kill him like killing an ant. It was a joke that he thought Feidin was afraid of their numbers. It turned out that the other party could not even be bothered with them and probably treated them as kids.
Slade’s face turned pale. Thinking about his forceful tone toward Feidin, he was filled with both shock and fear in his heart.
Han Xiao said at this moment, “Alright, since you want to let them know the reason…”
He then turned around and sucked the Box of Enticement into his palm. Exerting strength on the box, he smashed it into pieces.
“Argh!”
Everyone could then feel a powerful mental energy exploding out from the box.
The faces of the Punisher Alliance superheroes turned pale, and they covered their ears. They could hear an ear-piercing screeching sound in their minds.
The mental sound in their head was filled with excitement as though a man that had been imprisoned for many years had been released!
Chapter 945 - Heart Sucking Demon
Hu!
As though a storm swept through the place, an illusory figure gradually appeared. Its facial features were not distinct; it only looked like a shadow. Its shape was extremely odd as though it was a creature with many arms. Its shape was still transforming, and it was emanating a frightening aura.
“Delicacies… delicacies…”
A mental energy was spread out in all directions, and everyone could understand the intention of this illusory being.
A strange sense of fear rose in their hearts, and even Han Xiao and the Black Star Guards were no exception. They just were not as badly affected.
“What kind of a beast is this‽”
Raymond and Slade had a look of fear on their faces. They did not know that such a beast had actually been hiding within the Box of Enticement!
They could feel a sense of fear in their hearts, and they started to feel a wave of dizziness.
“It is a special creature from the secondary dimension. You can treat it as a parasite that is born together with the soul. It is one of the reasons the Psychic Current exists in the universe,” Han Xiao said calmly.
This was a boss from the secondary dimension called the Heart Sucking Demon. The thoughts of every living b
eing in the universe formed a universe consciousness, and the Heart Sucking Demons would crawl at the bottommost layer of the universe to feast on the universe consciousness.
The bottommost layer of the universe was the nest of these Heart Sucking Demons, and there was an almost endless supply of them in the bottommost layer of the universe. This Heart Sucking Demon was at the Lord level, but it had been caught by a powerhouse and sealed in this box.
Han Xiao knew that the Heart Sucking Demon boss’ main attacking methods were to attack the souls of its targets. It also had many different types of resistance and was almost immune to mental attacks. Most mental attacks would only be food for it.
It was because of this that the corpse of a Heart Sucking Demon was a huge supplement to one’s mental strength. However, the side effects of it was an explosion. Only a Psychic and some Mages were able to make use of it without any side effects. It could increase the mental defenses of a Psychic and also cause one’s attacks to have the [Chaos] status.
However, the Heart Sucking Demon was extremely difficult to catch and extremely rare in the universe.
The instant the Heart Sucking Demon broke free from its seal, a notification popped up on Han Xiao’s interface.

_____________________
The players would definitely form a party when killing bosses, and the player who output the most damage would gain the kill of the boss. Even with Han Xiao’s current ability, he felt that the effects of these two talents were not too bad, so he had come for these two talents.
The box was just a sealing device, and the Heart Sucking Demon had been trapped in it for a long time already. It could not come into contact with the outside world and was extremely weak at the moment. It was currently in a starving state, and it immediately rushed toward the members of the Punisher Alliance to fulfil its thirst the moment it was released.
These people were a group of walking delicacies in its eyes.
“Hurry! The beast is coming over!”
Raymond, Slade, and the others immediately drew the weapons and unleashed a wave of attacks toward the demon.
However, although their attacks struck the Heart Sucking Demon, the effects of their attacks were limited. The defense of the Heart Sucking Demon was similar to that of the Interstellar Beast, and the attacks of a Grade B Super were unable to break through its defenses.
Despite enduring a large number of attacks, the Heart Sucking Demon was unharmed, and it slowly approached Raymond.
Upon seeing the strange beast about to stick on him, Raymond’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly backed off.
Swoosh!
Right at this moment, a ray of light pierced through the back of the Heart Sucking Demon, and the Heart Sucking Demon immediately froze in place.
A spherical floating cannon floated beside Han Xiao with multi-dimensional energy being released from the sphere.
This was a multi-dimensional weapon that Han Xiao had created after obtaining his new Ultimate Knowledge. It was extremely effective in dealing with the beasts from the secondary dimension and could be used to kill the Heart Sucking Demon.
The ray of light rapidly expanded in the Heart Sucking Demon’s body, and the Heart Sucking Demon trembled as though it was trying to struggle for its life.
An intense sense of despair was sent out from the Heart Sucking Demon’s mental waves, and everyone present was also affected by its emotions.
It had just left the wolf’s nest to enter the tiger’s mouth. It was truly unlucky!
Everyone then saw the Heart Sucking Demon explode like a bubble being burst. The Heart Sucking Demon disappeared without a trace and only left behind a black, palm-sized item on the ground. This was the corpse of the Heart Sucking Demon.
Han Xiao then sucked the corpse into his hands and threw it to Feidin casually.
“Deal with it. You helped me find it, so this item shall belong to you. You can go and discover its use on your own.”
Feidin was stunned. “You’re giving it to me? You don’t want it?”
“It’s useless to me.” Han Xiao shook his head. He was a Mechanic and did not need the corpse of the Heart Sucking Demon.
His goal was only the two talents. A mission completion notification popped up on his interface the instant he killed the Heart Sucking Demon; he had already obtained the two talents.
Although the resistance of the Heart Sucking Demon was high, Han Xiao’s strength stood at the peak of the universe. Even if the Interstellar Beast from before appeared before him right now, killing it would only require a single cannon.
That reminds me, I seem to be even tankier than the Interstellar Beast…
Glancing at the members of the Punisher Alliance, Han Xiao did not bother giving an explanation and left the spaceship. Feidin shook his head with a smile and followed behind Han Xiao.
After being together for such a long time, he realized that he was becoming increasingly fond of Han Xiao’s personality.
He is truly a friend who I am willing to serve.
Raymond and the others opened a path and watched as Black Star left. Slade then came to a realization.
“Such a terrifying creature was hidden in the Box of Enticement. If it escaped someday, we would have been…”
Upon hearing those words, the members of the Punisher Alliance came to a realization as well and felt that they understood Black Star’s intentions.
Black Star knew about the existence of the Heart Sucking Demon and thus came just to destroy this demon that should not have appeared in the universe.
They had personally experienced how terrifying the Heart Sucking Demon was. If the Heart Sucking Demon had been allowed to escape in the future, they would have suffered heavy casualties for sure!
Did this mean that they had all been saved by Black Star‽
To think that they had misunderstood such a bigshot…
Understanding this point, Raymond and the others had complicated feelings in their heart. They were filled with both gratitude and a sense of shame.
After struggling for a while, Slade rushed out of the spaceship and wanted to catch up to Feidin and apologize for his previous attitude.
When he left the hatch, he realized that Black Star had already disappeared and left the planet.
Upon seeing that, everyone looked at each other and sighed.
Black Star’s level is too far away from us, and we will never be able to repay this favor.
…
The event that Feidin had triggered came to an end, and Han Xiao learned his lesson. He no longer allowed the fleet to stop near any planets, lest Feidin ended up meeting another fortuitous event and disturbing his training.
Thankfully, Feidin hid in his room to research the Heart Sucking Demon’s corpse and did not run around anymore.
After absorbing the corpse, Feidin’s psychic energy was strengthened, and Han Xiao had a strange feeling in his heart.
No matter how he looked at it, suddenly gaining a treasure was like the treatment of a protagonist.
Although he had also gained some talents, Feidin seemed to have benefited more.
After travelling for a few more days, Han Xiao�
�s energy level finally reached Lv.19.
His level 300 Promotion Mission was finally completed!
Chapter 946 - Level 300 Promotion!
Circular mountains covered the land with some alloy wreckage sticking out from the ground occasionally. There was a black mountain peak filled with desolation and an ancient feeling in the distance.
The sky was gloomy, and the planet was deserted. A powerful gale was blowing through the planet, sweeping up anything that was on the surface of the planet.
This was a deserted planet covered with a thick layer of gray fog. From the outside of the planet, a large storm-like spiral could be seen in the atmosphere of the planet.
This used to be a planet full of life with the color of nature all around the planet and the sound of beasts roaring resounding through the forests. Today, only darkness and silence were left behind. This was one of the battlefields during the exploration era.
Underground, a large number of battleships were buried.
A black figure walked slowly on the planet as though he had melded into the background.
“This place is fine.”
Han Xiao looked up at the gray skies and knew that a spaceship was waiting for him outside the atmosphere of the planet. The people on the spaceship would probably be looking at him through their windows.
The commotion of a beyond grade A Super would not be small, not to mention the fact that he was going to undergo a race upgrade and Class Advancement at the same time. The commotion would probably shake the mountains and the earth. He would probably destroy the spaceship if he carried out his Promotion on it. Thus, Han Xiao had found an uninhabited planet and was planning to complete his advancement on the planet.
Of course, he had already touched Feidin before coming over and was currently full of confidence.
Opening his interface, his Promotion Mission and Class Advancement Mission were already completed. Han Xiao then chose to end the missions.
