"Wait, Lycurgus, what did you say? Derry-boy resembles people from other planets? How… how is that possible?" Cipher quickly asked him. "Whe
"Wait, Lycurgus, what did you say? Derry-boy resembles people from other planets? How… how is that possible?" Cipher quickly asked him.
"Whether it's his appearance or his blood, do you think he looks like a person from Amphoreus?"
"This… it seems Derry does have some differences!" Hyacine said after sizing him up.
Cipher's eyes lit up.
Falling for an alien… this kind of thing is really exciting!
And on the other side, Castorice's heart was also stirring. One must know, she was also a novelist, and the potential changes that Derick's identity could bring were fiercely stimulating her creative desires.
Derick said to the group, "I have no memories of being in the universe."
"Perhaps you came to Amphoreus due to some accident. Lord Derick, if you go to the outside world, you might be able to find your origins," Lycurgus said. Seeing that Derick and his group were leaving and would not affect Amphoreus, he did not begrudge them his blessing.
"I hope so."
Actually, it's fundamentally impossible. I've already transmigrated here. Can I really go back to my Earth?
Lycurgus continued, "Before you leave, let me brief you on the situation in the universe, as well as the war between the Xianzhou Alliance and the Denizens of Abundance that you are heading towards. Of course, I can only give you a brief introduction here. The specific details will require you to slowly explore on your own."
"The entire universe is vast and complex. The most powerful and mysterious beings within it are called Aeons. Their power is beyond what we mortals can imagine. All of us, intentionally or not, are approaching the Paths opened up by the Aeons. After embarking on a Path, if one can gain the gaze of an Aeon, they will receive even more power from that Path…"
After he used simple concepts to introduce the universe, Aeons, and Emanators to the group, Castorice and the others began to understand the vastness of the cosmos.
"How strong is an Emanator-level being?" Hyacine couldn't help but ask Lycurgus.
"Every single Emanator can destroy a galaxy."
"And the Titans of Amphoreus…?"
"They are not yet at that level."
Hearing that the Titans of Amphoreus were not even at the level of Emanators, Hyacine couldn't help but look worried.
What if we encounter an Emanator-level enemy after leaving Amphoreus?
Lycurgus continued, "Don't worry, there's no need to be nervous. Emanators are extremely rare in the entire universe. With your current strength, you can handle most situations with ease."
Cipher continued to ask, "Then what about the Denizens of Abundance and the Xianzhou Alliance you mentioned? Do they have Emanators among them?"
Other matters could be discussed later, but they were about to face these two forces. Whether they had Emanators was something they needed to prepare for first.
"The Denizens of Abundance certainly have Emanators, but the planet you are going to this time does not. As for the general of the Xianzhou Yaoqing, Feixiao, she is an Emanator of the Hunt. As long as you don't go out of your way to oppose General Feixiao, you won't have to face an Emanator-level combatant."
"We're not stupid. Why would we go and provoke someone of that level?" Cipher muttered under her breath.
"The Denizens of Abundance are a clan that worships Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance. They carry out a great deal of plunder and slaughter throughout the universe and are known as one of the Three Great Disasters, along with the Antimatter Legion and the Swarm. The Xianzhou Alliance, on the other hand, worships Lan, the Aeon of the Hunt."
After Lycurgus roughly introduced the Abominations of Abundance and the Xianzhou Alliance, he walked to the side and pulled out a small spaceship.
"This is the vehicle used for flying in the universe. I have already set it to autopilot. You can use this to go directly to the planet where the Denizens of Abundance are. The rest is up to you."
"This is a spaceship?" Cipher curiously was the first to duck inside. After she got in, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What a strange thing!"
Castorice pushed Polyxia's wheelchair and followed her into the spaceship.
Hyacine was the second to last to enter.
The last one was Derick. After entering, he turned back to look at Lycurgus, who was standing to the side, and said goodbye.
"Well then, goodbye."
"If possible, I would rather we not meet again," Lycurgus said to him.
The spaceship slowly closed, then began to leave Amphoreus, heading towards a new world.
The spaceship was quite spacious. After Derick and the others sat down, even with Polyxia's wheelchair, it wasn't too crowded.
Not knowing what they would face next, Castorice and Hyacine still felt a little apprehensive. For a long time to come, the only people from their homeland they would see would be each other.
Cipher didn't share this sentiment. She looked out the spaceship window at the outside world, at the countless stars, her eyes sparkling with light.
"I never thought you'd be so curious about the outside world," Derick said from the side.
"Of course! Look, the whole universe has so many planets. There must be a lot of treasure in them. If we could get our hands on all that treasure…"
Saliva was practically dripping from the corner of Cipher's mouth.
She wiped her mouth and said to Derick, "Derry-boy, how about we don't join any organization when we get there? Let's just form a free-spirited crew of space thieves."
Since the legendary phantom thief had arrived in a wider world, she had to achieve even more glorious deeds.
Derick couldn't resist rapping her on the head.
"What kind of nonsense are you imagining? You were fine on Amphoreus because no one could catch up to your speed. Now that we're outside, do you think you can still maintain your unrivaled speed? Be careful you don't get casually swatted like a bad guy someday."
"Besides, we don't want to be thieves."
Castorice and Hyacine both nodded, completely rejecting Cipher's idea.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Then let's make contact with that… Xianzhou Yaoqing first," Cipher said, holding her head.
Now that it was just the few of them, they naturally had to act together. And if they were acting together, the minority had to obey the majority. Since everyone else had rejected her proposal, Cipher had no choice but to agree, hoping that she could find a way to persuade the others to become thieves with her later.
Just then, the spaceship began to accelerate, heading quickly towards their destination.
An unnamed planet.
This place was originally so desolate that it was empty. The powers in the universe didn't even bother to give this planet a name.
But one day, a tribe of the Borisin discovered that its geographical location was perfect for a transit station for the flesh they plundered from other planets.
Over time, a large number of Borisin came to be stationed here.
General Feixiao of the Xianzhou Yaoqing discovered this situation and immediately led the Azure-Fox Army to this planet, intending to completely eliminate the Borisin here.
The Azure-Fox Army was mainly composed of Foxian warriors, and they had a natural hatred for the Borisin. Upon seeing them, their morale was already maxed out without any need for a pre-battle speech. Wielding the weapons in their hands, they charged towards the Borisin.
The Borisin were also fearless of death, using their strong bodies to launch a charge against the Azure-Fox Army.
However, although they were fierce, they fought without any order. As they fought, they even entered a frenzied state, their thoughts becoming even more chaotic. This meant that even if they could defeat a Foxian in a one-on-one fight, under the tight coordination of the Azure-Fox Army, these frenzied Borisin were cut to pieces without even putting up a fight.
The remaining Borisin gathered together.
A cyan whirlwind appeared, rushing through the Borisin battle group and completely disrupting their formation.
The whirlwind spun through the Borisin ranks and then returned to the center of the Azure-Fox Army.
A woman with a heroic and valiant bearing appeared. She wore a white trench coat over a sleeveless cyan cheongsam, black long boots on her feet, and held a long blade in her hand.
"The enemy's formation is in chaos. Finish them off," she said to the Azure-Fox Army.
"Yes, General Feixiao!"
The Azure-Fox Army shouted in unison, wielding their weapons and attacking the remaining Borisin.
Feixiao walked behind the army, looking at a pink-haired Foxian man not far away. She asked him, "Jiaoqiu, have the Borisin's escape routes been cut off?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the Borisin warehouse in the distance. The warehouse was filled with many dismembered and half-eaten corpses.
The actions of the Borisin filled her chest with rage.
"We must kill them all."
"Don't worry. I've already had Moze get ready. He's leading people to block their escape route," Jiaoqiu said to Feixiao.
"Good." Feixiao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Jiaoqiu's words.
Just as they were speaking, they suddenly saw a "shooting star" falling towards them.
"Huh? Could it be Borisin reinforcements?" Jiaoqiu asked doubtfully.
Feixiao took a closer look, then shook her head.
"That's not a Borisin beast-ship, it's an ordinary spaceship. Could it be some unlucky fellow who had an accident while flying through space? It seems to be landing in the direction of the Borisin's retreat. We'll head over now. Hopefully, the firepower on their ship can hold out until we get there."
Seeing this, Feixiao took off her white coat and threw it to Jiaoqiu, revealing her sturdy frame and strong back muscles.
"I'm off."
Feixiao said one word, then strode towards the direction of the crashing spaceship.
Jiaoqiu shook his head.
Our general really does love to charge head-on.
The landing spaceship was, of course, Derick and his group.
During their descent, they had a clear view of the battle below.
"Even without Lycurgus's reminder, I know which side to help," Cipher retorted to the others.
The difference in appearance between the two sides was simply too great.
The Borisin had the heads of wolves and the bodies of men, and they were in a frenzy. Some of them still had fresh blood on their hands, which was unspeakably terrifying and disgusting. At a glance, they didn't look like good people at all.
On the other hand, the Foxian Azure-Fox Army was neat in their ranks, their actions perfectly coordinated. At the same time, the Foxians' appearance also leaned towards being handsome and beautiful, their image far better than the Borisin's.
The difference was obvious at a glance.
Castorice wasn't shouting like Cipher. She carefully observed the battle between the two sides, a look of shock on her face.
"Is this a battle between the great powers of the universe?"
She had once been a Supervising Saintess and had witnessed the city-state battles of Amphoreus. Those battles, compared to the one before her now, were like children's squabbles.
Derick said nothing from the side. This was just one contingent of the Azure-Fox Army fighting a certain tribe of the Borisin. A true war with the Denizens of Abundance would cause destruction incomparable to what was happening now.
The spaceship landed.
Seeing this, the Borisin immediately surrounded it. Their wolf-like heads opened, drooling disgusting saliva as they raised their clubs, preparing to attack the spaceship.
Derick naturally couldn't sit back and watch this happen. He opened the ship's hatch, and the Lance of Divine Retribution in his hand shot out, sending the approaching Borisin flying.
"Castorice, come on. We've been on this ship for so long. Time to stretch our bodies."
As he spoke, the Lance of Divine Retribution gathered a golden energy, transforming into a giant sword several dozen meters long. The giant sword fell heavily, sweeping away the Borisin in front of them.
Cipher's deception still had an effect. Without the energy of the Titan of Deceit, he couldn't easily use two Titan powers at the same time now.
Of course, with his previous experience, Derick felt that through his own training, he could also make different Titan energies work together. This wouldn't be through deception, but a true offensive method of his own.
The charging Borisin hadn't expected the people coming down from this small spaceship to possess such great power. And it wasn't over. Castorice appeared, brandishing her scythe. She rushed in front of a Borisin much taller than her, and with a light hook of her scythe, the Borisin was split in two.
Cipher's figure flickered, weaving through the Borisin crowd. She kicked out at them, sending them flying.
Hyacine stretched out her hand, unleashing the power of the celestial phenomena, causing meteorites to rain down on the Borisin.
Soon, the surrounding Borisin were mostly cleared out.
As they were fighting, Feixiao arrived.
Cipher, in the heat of the moment, subconsciously charged at her.
A look of surprise appeared on Feixiao's face, but she was a Xianzhou general, after all. Her strength was immense, and an attack like Cipher's couldn't harm her.
She reached out and caught Cipher's boot.
"You're a fast one, woman," Feixiao praised Cipher.
"But I'm not a Borisin here to hurt you."
She looked at the battlefield again. Seeing the surrounding Borisin had been dealt with, she couldn't help but nod.
"Your strengths are all quite impressive!"
As she said this, she saw Derick holding the Lance of Divine Retribution.
"Kid, which Xianzhou are you from? What do you do? Interested in joining the Azure-Fox Army!?" Feixiao shouted to Derick.
A qualified general, upon seeing a good seedling, would definitely want to pull them under their command.
