Not far ahead, Jia Yan and the others had no idea that a semi-stellar-level powerhouse had also inadvertently entered the twisted big hole.

Jia Yan followed several secondary powerhouses, led by the semi-stellar elephant powerhouse, moving forward.

He controlled the metallic conceptual ship’s body, observing his surroundings.

"What a peculiar place."

In this twisted territory, Jia Yan felt a spatial power at work, yet it didn’t entirely resemble the subspace he had entered before, as traces of gravitational wave fluctuations rippled amidst the distortions.

"Everyone, be careful. This place is extremely dangerous. Previously, one secondary powerhouse from our faction entered here, but within three minutes, he perished."

The semi-stellar elephant powerhouse said to the secondary powerhouses behind him.

"Perished within three minutes? That’s terrifying." Several of the secondary powerhouses following behind turned pale.

Jia Yan simply nodded without a trace of doubt, as he understood the dangers with his space talent and past experience traversing gravitational wave fluctuations.

However, he refrained from commenting aloud, because the path ahead had been cleared by the elephant powerhouse. It seemed the other also possessed a space talent.

Jia Yan chose to remain silent, not wanting to expose the other’s talent. Otherwise, if they became furious, they might secretly plot against him.

Before long, the group ventured farther forward.

"Have you noticed? The traces of explosions are becoming fewer in the surroundings. This area is relatively stable now, but you must still be extremely cautious. Even though the danger has lessened, there are still more terrifying threats here. See those glowing areas? Do not even think of entering them. The spacetime there is like the interior of a black hole, an infinitely frozen void. If you enter, you’ll spend your remaining existence trapped in an icy stagnation."

"I have equipment here. Each of you needs to wear it. Without it, it’s easy to lose your sense of direction."

The elephant powerhouse tossed sets of small devices to Jia Yan and the others behind him.

Jia Yan received one and found it was a small device equipped with a smart brain system and a peculiar energy.

The energy stabilized him, alleviating the eerie lifeless feeling upon entering the tranquil zone.

Clearly, this place was by no means safe. Of course, Jia Yan didn’t necessarily need this device, but the others without it might not even last ten minutes.

The remaining creatures obviously sensed this too, hurriedly ensuring their devices were securely fastened—these were their lifelines.

"Now that we’re here, just avoid the glowing areas. Let’s quickly search for items. After the explosion here, a lot of good resources have been left behind. Remember one thing: our faction requires the anti-star-condensate material. If anyone tries to claim it for themselves, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Jia Yan and the other secondary-level geniuses dispersed through the area.

Jia Yan chose a bold path, flying straightforward with his high-grade talent sub-barrier avatar.

He observed as the surrounding distorted space continued to diminish while flying and surveying the area.

About this space, he had roughly pieced together a pattern.

He deduced that this was a gravitational wave trajectory zone. Due to unknown explosive causes, the forefront of the explosion distorted the space here. However, the area they were in wasn’t truly calm—it was merely the equilibrium point between the explosive force and gravitational waves.

To proceed farther would mean entering genuine gravitational wave space—a place lethal to anyone without the body of an Evolutionary Creature, where one would be utterly devoured.

"Hmm? A gravity stone!"

Suddenly, Jia Yan spotted a faintly glowing stone and rushed toward it.

"Mo Ke, hoarding a stone all for yourself doesn’t seem fair. How about sharing it with others?"

Unexpectedly, a voice reached Jia Yan’s ears.

Jia Yan’s expression froze, then turned his head around.

Along with him, the sub-barrier avatar now referred to as "Behalf" also turned its head.

Jia Yan’s expression didn’t change much, but the dangerous glint in his eyes sent a chill through the air.

He had previously suspected someone might be tailing him, and now that suspicion proved true.

The figure appeared gradually, illuminated by the fog-like light of gravitational waves, and its appearance startled Jia Yan.

It was none other than the task-assignment elephant powerhouse, a mid-level space talent semi-stellar entity.

"Dear Employer, might I ask why you’re following me?"

Jia Yan turned, coldly gazing into the other’s eyes, speaking in an unfazed tone.

While Jia Yan currently couldn’t contend with such a semi-stellar powerhouse, the proximity to gravitational wave zones made him doubt this entity would be foolish enough to engage him here. Moreover, Jia Yan possessed one final Space Stone Burst Bomb, which could pose a significant threat given the unique terrain.

Thus, he didn’t fear!

"Don’t be so agitated, Mr. Mo Ke," the elephant powerhouse chuckled lightly. "I just took a liking to that gravity stone. I hoped you might relinquish it."

"The gravity stone is right over there. Feel free to claim it for yourself."

Jia Yan’s eyes flickered with a peculiar light. He lightly stepped back alongside the silent sub-barrier avatar, retreating into the space behind them.

The elephant powerhouse didn’t pursue. Standing by the gravity stone briefly with a faint smile, his shadow soon vanished into the fragmented gravitational wave mist.

Flying forward, Jia Yan’s expression grew solemn.

"Such a trivial gravity stone shouldn’t matter much to him. He certainly wouldn’t be overly interested in it. Then why act this way?"

Jia Yan’s icy expression didn’t falter, but unbeknownst to him, the elephant powerhouse who had just "snatched" a gravity stone was simultaneously appearing in multiple locations!

"Mr. Ice Koran, that star-core stone in your hand caught my eye. Could I have it?"

"Mr. West City, that sulfur stone seems rather fitting for me. Be sensible and hand it over."

The elephant entity, a semi-stellar space talent powerhouse, displayed spatial abilities that even Jia Yan had to admire.

Yet his actions at the moment showed no regard for the Mercenary Union’s regulations, as he outright threatened several secondary-level mercenaries.

While flying ahead, Jia Yan racked his mind analyzing the elephant powerhouse’s behavior.

"Something is amiss. His earlier demeanor was that of a regular employer. How could he suddenly change into this?"

Jia Yan glanced back, and it felt like his gaze penetrated layers of space to see the towering elephant monster smiling faintly at him from dozens of kilometers away.

Jia Yan’s heart sank, and he prepared to fly farther to escape.

Yet at this moment, he noticed no reaction from the body of his sub-barrier avatar.

"No! Something is definitely wrong! I can feel the oppressive aura from that distant semi-stellar entity, yet the avatar feels absolutely nothing—how is this possible?"

Jia Yan analyzed in his mind while continuing to fly forward.

With the avatar nearby, Jia Yan could distinctly sense the contrasting sensations between his two bodies.

The elephant powerhouse, a mid-level space talent semi-stellar entity, would be dangerous to confront directly. Even with his last Space Burst Stone, Jia Yan wasn’t confident it could pose a threat.

For now, all he could do was maintain as much distance as possible from the other.

"What’s wrong? Why do I feel something is off?"

Flying alongside the nearby sub-barrier avatar, Jia Yan wracked his brain trying to figure it out.

Without much change in speed, he steadily flew onward.

At the same time, less than a hundred kilometers behind Jia Yan, another semi-stellar entity who had just entered the gravitational wave equilibrium zone wore a somewhat dazed expression.

"That secondary-level being is indeed right ahead of me. Heh, time to kill!"

The semi-stellar powerhouse had unknowingly disembarked from his battleship, rushing forward.

His gaze wasn’t focused on Jia Yan who was a hundred kilometers away but on something seemingly only one or two kilometers ahead. Activating his powers, he manipulated the space before him.

Then, with one strike, the entire space violently shattered.

"Haha! I’ve decimated the space here. You won’t escape into subspace—you’re doomed!"

"What? Impossible! He’s still alive. Clearly, he’s no ordinary secondary powerhouse. Where are you running? I’ll definitely kill you!"

To the semi-stellar talent powerhouse, he appeared to be chasing Jia Yan’s metallic body. Yet, the evasive shadow eluded him.

The pursuit and escape continued in a straight line forward.

In other directions, several secondary powerhouses went racing toward specific areas, while elephant-like shadows pursued them relentlessly.

"This employer intends to go back on his word. While the Mercenary Organization is small, they will uphold justice for me."

"I can’t keep fleeing here—I’m at my limit."

One by one, the secondary-level talents found themselves helpless against the pursuing elephant powerhouse, forced to flee desperately forward.

Compared to their panic and frantic escapes, Jia Yan maintained a greater sense of composure.

Whirr...

"Why does he keep chasing?"

As Jia Yan flew, he continued gathering resources along the way.

"Anti-star condensate!? So this is what the elephant powerhouse is after."

"Mo Ke, this anti-star condensate is essential for my faction, as we agreed in the contract. Now, hand it over."

Just as Jia Yan grabbed the anti-star condensate material, he felt a chill down his spine. The elephant powerhouse, who should have been kilometers away, suddenly appeared right before him in an instant.
