“Alright. I know your opinions already.” Urranrell raised up her arm but did not disagree with those words.
Ludwell knew that Urranrell did not wish for him to continue, and thus, he kept his mouth shut.
Urranrell could not help but sigh upon witnessing such a scene. Ludwell was the leader of a faction, but he would not go against her orders. He only had some differences in political opinions in some areas. The problem of the Evolution Cube was one of them.
Ludwell belonged to the party that strongly believed in Black Star handing over the cube. He was an official in charge of finances, and he would usually see things from an economic or political aspect. He was not well versed in military affairs.
He was not satisfied with their dynasty enduring the pressure from two other civilizations but not being able to enjoy the benefits of the Evolution Cube. He had always believed in taking back the Evolution Cube from Black Star, regardless of whether they had to use resources or force. In any case, he felt that the dynasty should be the ones to hold onto the Universal Treasure.
Urranrell placed great importance on Black Star, and they had a difference in opinion in this regard. It was because of her presence that the faction who wanted Black Star to hand over the cube could not succeed.
“Let’s end the meeting here today.” Urranrell shook her head.
The projections in the conference room disappeared.
Ludwell bowed before turning off his communicator. His viewpoint then returned to his own office. Sighing, he rubbed his eyes, and the creases could be seen at the corner of his eyes.
Du du du!
The phone on his table rang, and Ludwell immediately picked up the call.
“Your Excellency, your grandson is calling. Should I connect the call?”
“This brat. How many times have I told him not to call the number in my office!” Ludwell frowned. “Patch the call through.”
A while later, the voice of a young man sounded on the phone.
“Grandfather? I am already on Enya Hub. I am telling you beforehand lest you send people to find me again and cause the people from my company to think that I am missing.”
“Humph.” Ludwell snorted and was slightly embarrassed.
“Right, you said that you liked to eat the delicacies on Enya Hub. I will bring some back for you this time.”
“That’s more like it,” Ludwell said. “Take care of yourself. The universe is no longer calm, and there have been many attacks within the territory of the dynasty. Humph, they all want to snatch the Evolutionary Totems. Are the two bodyguards that I sent beside you?”
“Sigh, these two are looking at me as though I’m a prisoner. They even want to follow me to the toilet. Grandfather, can you please take them back? With them beside me, everyone thinks that I am the superior, and even my boss doesn’t dare reprimand me. If things go on like this, I will probably be fired soon.”
“That won’t do. You are my only grandson, and your safety comes first. I will only be assured with both of them beside you,” Ludwell said with a solemn tone before realizing that his tone was not good. He then spoke with a gentler tone and sighed. “Sigh, take care of yourself. Also, you aren’t an official of the dynasty and shouldn’t call the internal channel. There are some members of the internal department who have complained to me about this matter.”
“Alright, alright. I shall hang up now.”
The line was then cut off, and a doting look could be seen on Ludwell’s face.
Chapter 940. Chaos |
Over the next few days, Feidin and Aurora worked together with Raymond and searched for traces of the Blood Hammer Church in the various regions of Enya Hub. This matter had already been reported to the security troops of Enya Hub. After a series of negotiations, the security troops promised to check on traces of any suspicious individuals before sending all of them out of the door. They obviously had no intentions of letting the superheroes help.
Although the superheroes were legal in the universe, the security troops of the various regions did not like working together with superheroes. After all, the majority of superheroes were just Grade B Supers, which could be easily found in the various civilizations. Furthermore, the strength of the superheroes might not even be compared to an ordinary member of the security force. As such, they did not need the help of superheroes most of the time.
Raymond insisted on investigating the location of the Blood Hammer Church, and Feidin remembered the mission that Han Xiao had given him. He thus moved into the location that Raymond rented and hid his strength to help Raymond.
After a few days, the three of them still had not found any clues of the Blood Hammer Church but managed to wait for the reinforcements of the Punisher Alliance.
“All of you are finally here!”
In the rented house, Raymond was overjoyed and immediately welcomed the reinforcements. He then introduced Feidin and Aurora to the rest. Most of the superheroes had friendly looks on their faces with only a small portion remaining expressionless.
“These two are Chen Xing and Aura, whom I’ve mentioned. They are both Grade B Supers. Aura’s healing ability is truly extraordinary.”
“Hello everyone, I am Chen Xing.” Feidin smiled toward the crowd. He did not put on any airs as a Calamity Grade and spoke with an amiable tone.
The moment he smiled, many present immediately felt their hearts speed up.
Feidin’s Charm attracted everyone regardless of their race and gender. Even if he had a disguise on him, his Charm still could not be concealed.
This new comrade of theirs truly gave off a good vibe. Many of them thought that and looked at each other.
“I am Au… Aura.” Aurora was not too used to her fake name.
Everyone then looked over with a passionate gaze. No one would dislike a partner with the ability to heal. Any of them could require the other party’s help someday after all.
Just when they wanted to move forward to interact with their new comrades, an unfriendly tone sounded from the crowd.
“I would like to ask something. Why do both of you want to join the Punisher Alliance?”
Everyone then looked over with a look of resignation. The one who had spoken was Slade.
“Because he invited us.” Aurora shrugged her shoulders and pointed at Raymond.
“Both of you are Grade B Supers after all. You joined us just because of a simple invitation? Don’t you find this matter strange? You hadn’t even heard of the name of the Punisher Alliance before and changed your minds so easily, huh? Ah, I would rather believe that both of you are scheming something,” Slade said with a cold voice. Everything was far too big a coincidence, and he could not help but suspect them.
Feidin smiled and did not bother defending himself. The others were worried that Feidin would be dissatisfied and immediately went forward to stop Slade from continuing. The first impression that Feidin gave them was truly too good, and they could not help but speak up for him.
Someone who looked so good had to be a good person!
Slade tried his best to defend against Feidin’s Charm halo and said with a cold voice, “I will keep my eye on you. If you have other intentions, don’t blame me for being rude.”
He then left after finishing what he had to say.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward after this, and Raymond walked forward to console Feidin. “Don’t bother about him. He’s always been like this. I was also targeted by him when I first joined.”
“It’s alright.” Feidin smiled.
Upon seeing that, everyone came forward to talk to Feidin, and Feidin easily blended into the atmosphere.
After half a day of rest, the temporary leader of this team broke the team up to search for the Blood Hammer Church.
The Punisher Alliance did not have many individuals, and they could only assign a few people to search a large region.
Feidin was naturally together with Aurora, and both of them were assigned to work with Raymond and another Pugilist superhero. The four of them were in a team to search a prosperous region of Enya Hub.
…
The artificial sun gradually set, and the entire sky was dyed red. Darkness gradually descended upon Enya Hub, and the lights of the building all lit up. Enya Hub would only be alive in the night, and another side of this galactic city would be shown. It would be transformed from a tired traveler to a smoking hot hostess.
Everyone would spend their night getting drunk before continuing on their journey the very next day.
The crowds on the streets were larger than in the day, and a joyful atmosphere filled the air.
Feidin’s group of four walked along the streets and observed their surroundings. Raymond pushed aside a drunkard and said with a suppressed voice, “The Blood Hammer Church usually conducts their blood sacrifice rituals at night. Don’t overlook the smell of blood and pay more attention to any deserted locations.”
After walking for a while, Aurora suddenly pulled on Feidin’s sleeves and pointed up to the sky.
“There is the life force of a Calamity Grade.”
Feidin looked up and saw a flight carrier stop at the top of the building. A group of bodyguards then pushed aside the crowd with two of the bodyguards emanating the strength of a Calamity Grade Super.
The passersby also noticed their aura and looked up as well. Raymond then muttered, “It seems like a bigshot.”
The Pugilist by the side then shook his head and said, “We won’t be able to come into contact with someone like that anyway. Stop looking. This has nothing to do with us.”
“You’re right.”
Ignoring the two by the side, Feidin felt that the two Calamity Grade bodyguards were a little familiar as though he had seen their photo before. Feidin had always believed in his intuition and took out his communicator to send the picture over to Phillip.
“Phillip, check who they are.”
“Alright, hum… Matching in the database… Matching complete.”
The large artificial intelligence database of the Black Star Army was also opened up to ordinary individuals, and most of them used Phillip’s child program. Because Feidin had followed Han Xiao for a very long time already, he had the authority to enjoy Phillip’s main artificial intelligence. The efficiency difference was akin to the difference between 3G and 5G.
Lowering his head to take a look, he realized that these two Calamity Grade bodyguards belonged to the Crimson Dynasty, but there was no information on the young man. There was obviously an unknown force that encrypted his information. Ordinary individuals did not have such a privilege, and he should be the descendant of some upper echelon.
“He should be the descendant of an upper echelon in the dynasty.”
Feidin nodded and was not too bothered. Right at this moment, Aurora sent him a message.
“I can feel four different Calamity Grade Supers hiding nearby.”
Aurora could use her life force detection ability to find people. As long as there was no magical barrier ability, she would be able to easily detect the strength of an individual’s life force and determine the other party’s strength.
Feidin then paused for a while and took a look at the coordinates that Aurora had sent him. He realized that the four Calamity Grade Supers had already surrounded the area. Who knew if they were protecting this upper echelon descendant from the dark or had other intentions?
“Er, it isn’t our business. Don’t bother about it.”
Although Feidin said that, Aurora still paid attention to the situation. She had a bad feeling that something will happen tonight.
After searching for a while more, Raymond suddenly received news from his comrades.
“Hurry up and come over. We’ve found the Blood Hammer Church!” His comrade’s anxious tone could be heard with the sound of fighting in the background.
“Where are you? Have you started fighting with the Blood Hammer Church‽” Raymond hurriedly asked.
“It isn’t us.” His comrade said with a strange tone of disbelief, “We didn’t find the Blood Hammer Church, but… they are actually attacking the military restricted region!”
“What‽” Everyone was stunned.
In their minds, the Blood Hammer Church was just a cult that would capture people to perform blood sacrifice rituals. Why would they suddenly attack a military restricted region?
All of a sudden, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Right at this moment, the ground beneath their feet began trembling.
Boom!
A blinding light then came from afar, and explosions could be seen in various different regions.
A powerful shockwave swept through the region, and even though they were far away from the explosion, the shockwave still blew their hair messy.
Everyone then turned around and looked toward the explosion.
“Something isn’t right!” Feidin frowned.
This was Enya Hub, which had plenty of soldiers standing guard. Such a huge commotion definitely was not one that a second-rate organization like the Blood Hammer Church could cause.
We were misled by Raymond. There are definitely other organizations trying to cause trouble on Enya Hub, and they should have a bigger scheme.
Just as the thought flashed through his mind, an ear-piercing alarm went off in the city. Battleships could then be seen taking off from the various military camps and sprinting toward the various regions.
The passersby were immediately thrown into a mess.
…
Bang!
A silver light flashed past, and the head of an Enya Hub guard exploded.
The head bishop then exchanged fire with the guards of the military restricted region.
Both parties were engaged in an intense battle. The artillery towers in the surrounding opened fire on the priests of the Blood Hammer Church, and dark energy rained down on the magical shields of the priests. Many priests died under the heavy fire of the enemy, and not even their ashes were left behind.
The head bishop displayed his Calamity Grade strength, and his war hammer caused great chaos throughout the battlefield. Everything that blocked his way would be destroyed with a single blow of his hammer. The high-level combatants of Enya Hub would not be stationed at the outpost all the time and were still on the way there.
The head bishop smashed his war hammer down on the ground, and a strange red light glowed on the hammer. The blood on the ground then evaporated into a bloody mist, which formed a huge figure in midair.
The next moment, two sun-like eyes lit up on the face of the red fog as though they were eyes. An individual’s consciousness had descended upon this bloody mist.
This bloody mist then shot out blood red magical arrows toward all the priests in the battlefield. The priests were immediately bathed with red as though they were enjoying a buff. Not only were their wounds healed, their strength also seemed to have been increased.
This figure was the ‘deity’ of the Blood Hammer Church. It was a secondary dimensional magic being that could temporarily descend through special means. It had the strength of a Calamity Grade Super.
The same situation also occurred in various different locations, and the Blood Hammer Church was not the only organization attacking the military restricted regions. This was definitely a well-engineered plot!
…
The tallest building located right in the middle of Enya Hub belonged to the protector of Enya Hub. The one guarding this place was an experienced Calamity Grade Super called Jabra.
Upon witnessing the city being lit up with lights, Jabra threw the female organism in his arms aside and stood in front of the window to look at the explosions.
“Your Excellency Jabra, there’s an emergency!” His vice commander’s projection appeared in the room, and he anxiously narrated the situation.
“Someone is attacking the military region where the Evolutionary Totem is located? They are seeking death by attempting to snatch something on my territory!” Jabra said with a baleful aura. He then put on his pants and smashed the window apart with a kick. Jumping into the night sky, his body glowed brightly with gray Pugilist flames, and his figure shot toward the battlefield.
At the same time, a wanted Calamity Grade individual saw the gray shooting star in the sky and pressed down on his mic.
“Jabra has already been led away, and the other Calamity Grade Supers are also heading toward the battlefields. The organizations over there will tie down these Calamity Grade Supers. We can take action when chaos envelops the entire city. Remember to take care of the battle quickly and disguise it as just another battle.”
…
At the same time, two ordinary-looking individuals stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper and looked down at the chaos.
“The operation has begun.”
“Thank you for proving that I am not blind.”
“I wonder how many of these gray organizations will still be alive after today.”
“Ah, even if they can survive, they will be cleaned up eventually. If not by us, they will be caught by the dynasty.”
“The army has gone to protect the Evolutionary Totem. Heh, do they really think that we created such a huge commotion just for the Evolutionary Totem?”
“Thankfully, we are not on a colonial planet of the dynasty. If we were, it would have been impossible to smuggle these weapons in. The other teams will have enough time to create chaos all over the city.”
“The fellow guarding this planet is a trusted aide of a Beyond Grade A Super. He will probably suppress the chaos before dawn arrives. We spent so many resources just for a single night of chaos.”
“It doesn’t matter. Even if all these gray organizations die, they just have to stall long enough for the other team to get rid of the target. Only then will we be able to make a report to our team leader.”
