Swallowed Star
chapter-758

After flying in the dark universe for 3 days, they went through universe travel again.

“Be on alert, don’t get careless.” Within the resting room, Tai Wo ordered, pointing to a space outside which had no remains obstructing it. “From this clear spot of space to our destination, we have to fly for 2 months, and within these 2 months…we’ll be flying in dangerous spots, battles could erupt at any moment.”

“We know captain.” Poison lifted his wine bottle and smiled. “Among the 7 old soldiers, even the newest of us have been here for over 8,000 years. Even when we are drunk, we are still on high alert, it’s already become part of our subconscious. If you have to say it…you just have to let the new recruits know.”

“Don’t drag us down.” The white boney Wei hugging the cat said coldly.

“It won’t be considered dragging.” Poison looked at the two of them “Older soldiers all started from scratch as well. Rock, Madman, you two better remember all the experiences we shared with you. Don’t look down on these, they were formed from countless life or death battles.”

“Understood.” Rock nodded.

Luo Feng nodded too.

Luo feng had learnt much from the 7 old soldiers. Firstly, Poison was the highest ranking among them, even Tai Wo was very courteous to him. Normally Poison would occasionally reprimand the others, and they all wouldn’t complain about it.

This was a natural authority formed from countless battles.

Actually, back when Tai Wo had come to ask the two of them to join their team, Poison was the 1st to run over…one could already feel some of the problems.

“Rock, Madman, be on alert.”

“If a battle occurs.” Captain Tai Wo ordered, “We do not need you two to fight well with us, just be of some sort of assistance. If you see any of the others in danger, go and help them. In the beginning…we will rely on the 7 old soldiers for strength.”

…

The ship flew at sub light speed, carefully making progress within the space, dodging any space that could hide other enemies.

…

Within a broken universe ship’s control room.

There were three automaton clansman gathered within. These three were completely made of metal, they looked very similar. From a glance, it looked like three robots were all sitting in alloy chairs.

“Haha, with the 3 of us together, we destroyed that undying’s team…he should be an official level undying right.” One of them smiled and said.

“Palati, you did good work back there. You heavily injured the undying, and it allowed us to kill the other sector lords…and later ganged up to kill the undying. He was indeed an official, he had lots of wealth, Palati…we better distribute the goods.”

After which, the two automaton clansmen looked at the 3rd one.

This 3rd automaton clansman called Palati wore a dark red armor, he looked beautiful. He looked on calmly at the other two, with a flip of his hand, two space rings appeared and he tossed it to them.

“Our temporary alliance ends here, you two can go.” He said coldly.

The two automaton clansmen smiled and received their space rings, swiftly checking them. As they checked, their eyes immediately erupted with rage.

“Palati!”

“Palati!”

They were both suppressing their rage.

“Still not leaving?” He looked on coldly at them.

“We worked together, and you got the benefit from killing that official level undying already. As for the spoils…you actually dare to take 95% of it?” The dark green armored clansman roared, the other silver armored clansman raged too. “You are going overboard.”

Palati looked coldly at both of them.

The two fought hard to suppress their rage.

“We don’t ask for much, just split 40% between the two of us. You’ll get 60% and we’ll each get 20%.” The dark green armored clansman said, beside him the other one nodded in approval.

“Get lost!”

Palati roared fiercely, “Without me, do you think you can deal with the official level undying? Even though he had just become an official, he already had an undying body. To kill him…you all think it was that easy, do you know how much it cost me? You still want to split the spoils with me? On account that you are from my race I gave you part of the spoils. If there wasn’t a punishment for killing within our race, I would have killed you two long ago.”

The other two glanced at each other and gritted their teeth.

“Hmph.”

“We hope you live a little longer.”

The two automaton clansmen instantly became beams of light and left the broken remains of the control room.

“Two idiots.” Palati snorted coldly, and his eyes flashing with brutality. Even though he seemed like a metal person, he was still a life form. Even though his body was sturdy, it was still flexible.

“Hm.”

“I lost quite a bit this time, however to actually kill an official level undying, my contribution points were enough compensation. Including the spoils itself…it’s not bad. However, the army I own has suffered huge losses…it’s time to return to the god base to replenish and repair my strength.” He pondered.

Every automaton clansman could be called an empire themselves!

Of course the strength of an automaton empire was its controlling ability and its wealth level, both were crucial! If one had a huge army…but simply relying on its AI battle abilities wouldn’t do. They had to use the Automaton clansman to control the army, allowing the army to use law infused attacks with precise combinations. That way, it could raise their strength by tens to hundreds of times.

The automaton race were living AI’s.

And living AI’s, the moment they knew the laws, combined with their natural absurd calculation and commanding abilities…it was terrifying.

Combined with the automaton weapons, their strength was terrifying!

It was a pinnacle race as terrifying as the bug clan!

The bug queen had natural battle instincts!

The automaton race was even more technical and knowledgeable, and were very scheming!

“Hm?”

“There’s a human ship?” Sitting in the control room, Palati’s eyes gleamed. “An E9 grade alloy ship, low level engravings on surface, looks like a normal sector lord team ship. However…there’s a possibility of it being an elite sector lord ship.”

“However…”

“As long as its within my abilities, I can settle it. After this, I can head back to replenish my strength.” Palati smiled. “Pitiful humans, you can try in vain to detect my location. Hmph, in terms of technological abilities…compared to our automaton race, you are just average.”

…

Remains could be easily seen everywhere, be it corpses or ships or weapons.

The vein lines of a seemingly normal floating piece of metal began to give off terrifying energy, storing energy and gradually, a translucent light ball could be seen.

“Attack!” In the distance, Palati ordered.

“Di.”

“Rumble!”

A blinding pillar of light instantly tore through space, rushing at the disc shape ship flying. It instantly hit and part of the ship melted. The powerful pillar of light tore through the thick E9 grade alloy ship’s body, causing it to explode into a fireball. “Rumble…” Ripples shot out in all directions spreading over tens of thousands of km, causing large amounts of debris and remains to be knocked far away.

…

Within the ship.

“I dare to bet Madman would get more contribution points.”

“I bet on Rock, look at him, such a calm fellow. Haha…this time, he will definitely get more contribution points than Madman. I bet 1 mixed element on Rock.”

“You really dare to bet? I bet on Madman, I too bet 1 mixed element.”

“I bet on Rock.”

“Madman.”

The old sector soldiers were all gathered around setting their bets. Because, each time they came out to battle, it would go on for quite a few years, and sometimes up to thousands of years. Hence they naturally gambled on which of the two new recruits would do better, Poison led this gamble.

They swiftly made their bets.

“You two aren’t betting? If you do, I’ll accept it too.” Poison said as he squatted in his sofa.

Rock grinned.

Luo Feng laughed too.

“Warning, imminent…” An ear piercing alarm rang throughout the resting quarters, causing the chatting soldiers to instantly change their expressions. Almost simultaneously, every one of them had swiftly retrieved their weapons.

Rumble!

The moment the alarm rang, the entire ship shook fiercely, the resting quarters was shaking violently too. The outer layer of the ship was completely blown apart, and this completely F9 grade resting quarters was kicked about like a can, under the powerful impact it spun madly in space.

The entire room kept spinning.

All the members in there all felt uncomfortable.

Rumble! Tai Wo instantly released his powerful undying energy and covered the entire room.

“Everybody out.” Tai Wo ordered.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

4 cabin doors opened simultaneously within.

“Go!” Poison ordered, armor instantly covered his body and he revealed only his eyes. Beside him, the Mother Flame race Hammer carried a large hammer and shield, the two simultaneously flew out of a door. The others flew out of the other doors.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The old soldiers all swiftly headed out, Luo Feng carried the Nan Shen armament and followed…
