  Upon thinking of the huge believers within the Mechanic Empire, Han Xiao felt the pressure. Only when he approached the level of others could he truly appreciate just how strong they were.

  “If I want to bring out the effect of this talent, I have to wrestle away the Mechanic Emperor’s position within the Mechanics. Only through fighting against him as a Mechanic can I then take away the believers on his side…”

  Han Xiao shook his head. He originally did not wish to antagonize Manison, but now Manison had become the obstacle in his road ahead.

  Most likely, Manison himself would also see him as a threat once he realized that he had reached this realm.

  Two tigers cannot share one mountain.

  “It’s too early to talk about all this now, and I also need time to get accustomed to the new abilities. It’s not the time yet to break all ties with Manison.”

  Han Xiao exhaled, suppressing his troubles and throwing the Free Attribute Points that he had obtained through [Mechanical Evolution—Creator’s Heart] into his Intelligence.

  After completing this step, Han Xiao took a look at his character interface.

  “Hiss…”

  Seeing the huge changes on his interface, Han Xiao sucked in a breath involuntarily.

  When he was level 280, his Energy Rank was 53,000, but now it had actually shot up by almost 20,000. However, not all of this was due to the changes brought about by his evolution.

  During this period, he had learned all the class knowledges to activate the extra talent, and he had obtained the talent [Heroic Wrists] from Dragon Emperor Ames. Plus, he had even trained his Energy to Lv19… These various factors supported each other to create his huge growth.

  The changes within his attributes were also frightening, with his Intelligence almost doubling. This was thanks to his [Almighty Mechanic] and [Divine Void Power], as well as the talent [Mechanical Evolution—Creator’s Heart], which all gave him attributes for free, providing a huge increase.

  Even his endurance had also become frightening, his HP value approaching the ten million mark. Among the currently recognized Beyond Grade As, probably only the old dragon had more HP than him. Even Ty-Ty had to step aside.

  “My realm has reached SS…” Han Xiao nodded to himself.

  With his Energy Rank skyrocketing, his S rank bonus had also increased. The bonus given to Endurance had been changed from fifty to one hundred, and other effects had also increased to a certain extent.

  This realm was normally known as the pinnacle of Beyond Grade A.

  SS was naturally higher than S+, but it still belonged to the realm of Grade S. It was not a qualitative change like the Calamity Grade evolving to Beyond Grade A. What EsGod pursued was breaking the boundaries of the SS rank and opening up a whole new realm.

  Gazing at the experience needed to level up, Han Xiao was not surprised that it had increased significantly.

  The experience he had accumulated throughout Version 3.0 was almost exhausted. With this little reserve, he could only level up three to four times, which was of little significance.

  Therefore, Han Xiao decided not to level, instead leaving it to upgrade his skills, finding it more cost-effective.

  It will not be possible to level up during the version update. I need to stabilize myself, digest my abilities, and start to accumulate, Han Xiao thought to himself.

  The biggest difference between him and the Mechanic Emperor was the many years of accumulation.

  After arranging his benefits from this advancement, Han Xiao stretched before flying back to his own fleet.

  The officers were all waiting there, staring at him with expressions of shock, envy, and surprise.

  Han Xiao’s evolutionary process really subverted everyone’s cognition, leaving a shock in their heart.

  “How did you do it?” Hadavy could not help but ask. His eyes glowed green, like a wolf, as if he wished to see into Han Xiao’s insides to check carefully which part was different.

  Glancing at him, Han Xiao quipped, “If you took the time you use to play cards to train, you might have long reached the Beyond Grade A realm.”

  “Like hell I believe you.” Hadavy was embarrassed and angry.

  Aurora pursed her lips before asking worriedly, “Will there be any side effects?”

  She felt that this method of evolution was contrary to common sense, too violent, and it might have undesirable consequences.

  “Side effects, hmm…” Han Xiao thought about it. “If you count being handsome as a side effect, then I might really be ill.”

  “Please just die.” Aurora rolled her eyes. While you are really charming, I still have to say… I’ve never seen someone so shameless!

  But the worry in her heart also lessened.

  Black Star knew of her skills. If there was really something wrong, he would have long requested for her [Life Essence] skill.

  Feidin walked up, lightly hugging Han Xiao as he smiled. “Congratulations.”

  During the secret war period, he had personally witnessed Han Xiao stepping into the Beyond Grade A realm, so he was the calmest person among all of them present. His trust in Han Xiao far outstripped everyone’s imaginations.

  At this time, the dynasty fleet also sent over a message of greeting.

  “We pay respects to you, Your Excellency Black Star.”

  “Oh, when did you guys come?” Han Xiao had been too absorbed in his new abilities earlier to notice.

  “We’ve been here for a while,” the soldier said before hesitating. “Your Excellency Black Star, just now…”

  “Hehe, nothing big. I just had a small increase in my powers.” Han Xiao laughed it off.

  Hearing this, all the soldiers were speechless.

  You created such a huge commotion, but you’re telling us it’s a weak increase? Do you think we’re five-year-olds‽

  “Cough, Your Excellency Black Star, regarding this, we’ll report it up as per normal. Do you have any objections?” The soldiers could only swallow any insults they wanted to spit out and carefully get back to the matter at hand.

  If it was a normal period, he would have immediately reported it up, but having witnessed the entire process of Han Xiao’s promotion, he had to request Han Xiao’s permission.

  Han Xiao nodded, not taking it seriously.

  “It doesn’t matter. You can just report it as it is.”

  Anyway, this thing could not be concealed. He could not wait for the dynasty’s upper echelons to know that his strength had grown again. It would be better if the dynasty spent more money on him.

  The dynasty soldiers thanked him with expressions of joy before leaving the area, activating their hyperdrive systems to return to base.

  A flash of steel passed Han Xiao’s eyes as he watched them depart.

  Now that his promotion was complete, it was time to proceed with his plan. He was going to go bully the Tyrant and save his businesses!

  It was in line with his plans to check how much his combat power had grown.

  Heh heh, Ty-Ty, I’m coming to
play with you!

  …

  In the Black Star Army headquarters, the sound of mechanical devices came from within the Army Commander’s previously-silent, exclusive warehouse.

  Whoosh!

  An equipment maintenance box was opened from the inside, and two dazzling lights emerged from the darkness.

  A mechanical host stepped out, its eyes shining like the midday sun, carrying Han Xiao’s consciousness.

  Looking back, he flicked his fingers, and a dazzling blue-gold Mechanical Force swept out, activating all the equipment boxes within the warehouse.

  Ka ka ka!

  One box after another was successively opened, and the stocked up mechanical soldiers were activated.

  The mechanic host took a big step, and with its huge mechanical army behind it, it walked out of the warehouse.

  The Lord had descended!

  …

  At the same time in the Bloodshed Land…

  Dang!

  Two wine glasses clinked together, letting out a crisp sound.

  Within the palace hall was a long and luxurious dining table, full of hearty dishes.

  At this moment, only two people were within this room, and the consciousness of Heber and Sorokin sat opposite each other, raising their glasses to toast each other.

  This was a celebration meeting.

  “Thanks to the influence of Your Excellency Heber, our cooperation is on the right track. It’s a joy to work with you.” Sorokin wore a slight smile as he sipped on the wine.

  “Hmm, I just did my part.”

  While Sorokin was a money scattering mascot, Heber did not have a great impression of him, so he did not say much, only draining his wine glass and placing it down.

  However, the wine glass was placed too close to the edge, and it fell off onto the ground.

  Just as Heber was about to reach out to grab it, he suddenly paused, watching as the glass dropped.

  Pa!

  The glass smashed on the floor, turning into shattered pieces.

  “Eh? What’s wrong?” Sorokin was suspicious. With their skills, there was no way he could not have reacted.

  Heber stared at the shattered wine glass, his brows furrowed tight.

  He did not know why, but in that instant, he felt his heart palpitating.

  It was as though something bad was about to happen.

  Chapter 949. High Profile Action |

  The territory of the Klent Kingdom bordered the Colton Star Cluster of the Purple Crystal Civilization. They were separated by a desolate universe belt and connected together by a stargate. After the secret war ended, both sides lifted the wartime emergency measures and reopened their stargates, allowing people to resume their travels.

  Within the observation post of the Seoul Star Cluster stargate, the sentry on duty was slacking, turning a blind eye to the fleets entering and exiting the stargate. He held his communicator in his hand, intently concentrating like the typical lowered-head generation.

  Since the end of the secret war, Klent and Purple Crystal had decided to recuperate, while the Black Star Army joined the Crimson Dynasty. There was no chance of war breaking out, so the mentality of the sentries gradually relaxed.

  They could not be blamed for the lack of professionalism. The main reason was that the vast majority of transit spaceships were subjected to review by the artificial intelligence, and there were few opportunities for manual review, so most of the time, they usually had nothing to do.

  “This virtual singer is awesome…”

  On the sentry’s communicator was a virtual image of a beautiful Klentan, clad in a thin dress and dancing on the side while singing. Her voice was melodious and clear, like springtime.

  The sentry on duty was fascinated, shaking his legs frantically while swiping his finger across the screen to send virtual gifts purchased with real cash.

  This was an entertainment app popular throughout the universe. The user could customize their favorite avatar based on the aesthetics of different races. In addition to shape, they could also choose its personality. After creating the avatar, the user could interact with others in a variety of ways, such as asking them to sing, dance, or play Wayne Cards online, basically treating them like a real person.

  One could also allow the virtual life to become a 3D life-size projection. If one had further needs, they could contact the website to buy a virtual sensory outfit, which would allow them to come into contact with it. This was divided into two categories: Children and Adult.

  In this day and age, even with the high degree of interstellar integration, there were still many people that would prefer to have a virtual friend, brother, child, or partner than a real friend.

  What was worth noting was that this popular app was developed by a sub brand of the Limitless Financial Group. The annual revenue obtained was terrifying, with their annual income already enough to purchase the entirety of Bloodshed Land.

  The sentry on duty, whilst obsessed with admiring his dream lover, suddenly heard the cold voice of the artificial intelligence.

  “Detected specially marked fleets in transit. Requesting manual review.”

  The sentry got a shock and almost threw his communicator out of the window in fright before settling down. With annoyance at being disturbed, he turned to operate the manual review.

  “Who is this idiot that… eh? Black Star Army‽”

  In that instant, the sentry seemed to have had his soul knocked out and back into him. The party in transit was actually the Black Star Army!

  Within the database of such public stargates, they were some specially marked characters, such as the galactic criminals. Because of the grudges of the secret war, Klent had also added the Black Star Army to this marked list. Personnel with the identity of the Black Star Army would be reported upward if they came into Klent territory.

  The sentry on duty knew that he had no right to review and immediately notified his team leader. This was passed up layer by layer and sent directly into the mailbox of a senior official.

  It did not take long for instructions to be passed down, allowing the Black Star Army to pass.

  Soon, a small fleet marked with the emblem of the Black Star Army sailed out of the stargate and turned into a stream of light, leaving only a light trail reflected in the pupils of the sentry.

  Although the Black Star Army was allowed to cross the border, the upper echelons of the Klent Kingdom did not know how to deal with this problem.

  Normally, the Black Star Army did not have any dealings with them, and they normally would not come over to the Seoul Star Cluster.

  But to suddenly visit with unknown motives… someone had to follow them to keep tabs on them!

  …

  Out of Klent’s expectations, the news that the Black Star Army had suddenly visited their territory spread out quickly, being known to many of the organizations and galactic residents of the Shattered Star Ring.

  Klent knew that someone should be fanning the news behind the scenes.

  Upon thinking about it, probably only the Black Star Army would want to do this. Klent did not understand their approach at first, but they soon realized what they wanted to do when they saw the Black Star Army moving toward Bloodshed Land.

  Indeed, it should be the latest movements from the Bloodshed Land that had attracted the Black Star Army!

  The truth behind the cooperation of Bloodshed Land and the Limitless Financial Group was not known to Klent, and they only knew that the organizations within the Bloodshed Land were advancing by leaps and bounds, robbing the businesses of the Black Star Army.

  Heber was also an ally of theirs, and Klent originally wanted to use some means to hide it, but they discovered it too late.

  The news that ‘Black Star Army was going to visit Bloodshed Land’ had long spread. Now, most of the Shattered Star Ring knew that the Black Star Army was prepared to take action against Heber.

  This was to the point that the Black Star Army had even publicly ann
ounced their flight destination. Every day, the distance from the Bloodshed Land was constantly decreasing.

  Under such a high-profile momentum, many galactic residents of the Shattered Star Ring were waiting to watch a good show and eagerly awaited the meeting between the two parties.

  Public opinion had already been established, so Klent had their arms and legs tied.

  After another half a month, the Black Star Army’s fleet finally arrived at the Bloodshed Land’s headquarters.

  …

  Above the skies of the Bloodshed Land headquarters, a fleet of spaceships spread all over like a cloud of steel. All the Vanguard Officials were called back to lead different fleets and wait in line.

  Heber stood on the surface of the planet with his hands behind his back, looking up at the deep black sky with a poker face.

  According to the itinerary announced by the Black Star Army, today would be the day when their fleet was due to arrive.

  When he discovered that the Black Star Army was coming to him, Heber knew that it was his premonition surfacing, but this was his territory. He could not run, nor would he run.

  Thus, Heber stopped his roaming headquarters, waiting for the arrival of the Black Star fleet, and he intentionally showed that he was not panicking. This was to prevent people from mistakenly thinking that he was afraid of Black Star and thus manipulating his headquarters to run, delaying the time for them to meet.

  In fact, Heber himself did not understand the goal of Black Star’s move. He did not think that Black Star would dare provoke infighting among the dynasty’s allies.

  Could it be that this guy just wanted to use this method to deter him?

  You are clearly still part of the dynasty, so should I be scared?

  Humph, know the answer!

  Yes, Heber was relaxed at this moment and wanted to see what Han Xiao had in stock.

  While he did not think that Han Xiao would be serious, they still had to put up a front, so he commanded his fleet to be on alert.

  As for whether the fleet would suddenly take a detour to trick him, Heber never considered this possibility. If they really did so, it would be the Black Star Army that was embarrassing itself.
