Chapter 943: Chapter 486: Fell Into a Pit, Why Is There a Corpse? (2)

With his current power, he’s no longer afraid of most crises.

While thinking about this, he didn’t forget to develop the Genetic Seed.

Within the Red River Star Stream, time seemed to stand still, and after nearly a month, they were already quite close to the core area.

During the period, they were lost several times, but eventually found a simple method, which was to trace the source of these black substances.

However, the energy torrent here had calmed down quite a bit, leaving everyone rather surprised.

"Warning, this is already the Empire-Federation blockade line, all unrelated personnel, please leave immediately."

After sailing for a short while, their fleet suddenly received a warning message, and a cutting-edge warship silently appeared from the front.

Those notified were quite surprised, quickly gathering and contacting through virtual projection.

Within a small-scale area, communication could still proceed normally.

"An Empire and Federation blockade line? The internal response is so quick..." Costate was quite surprised, pondering secretly.

No Star Alliance? Gonzalez frowned; what are the high-levels doing?

"What’s the situation?" Diwusi was puzzled, "The Empire and the Alliance actually joined forces; did they discover something?"

"Discover something, enter and look, and you’ll know." Gonzalez said in a deep voice.

The Star Alliance doesn’t know what they’re doing, clearly already falling behind, but thankfully, due to a stroke of luck, he’s here.

He definitely has to figure out what’s happening here.

"This..." Costate hesitated.

Before coming here, he didn’t expect this place to have been occupied by the Empire; the disaster-inducing object should have fallen into their lap, causing him not to want to reveal more.

But soon, a surprised voice came through the communication, "Costate?"

"Lord Rafael?" Costate froze slightly, his expression suddenly becoming complicated: "You... are here too?"

"The Director of the Empire Royal Research Institute? Rafael?" Mikhail’s expression slightly changed.

This guy is a high technical talent; did the Empire discover some secret to the point even he was brought here?

This time, the duration of the Red River Catastrophe is so short; it shouldn’t be.

"Weren’t you exploring the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins?" The voice on the other side seemed somewhat peculiar.

"The exploration has ended; after we came out, we discovered abnormalities in the Red River Star Stream, so we traced it back to take a look." Costate explained.

"Is Diwusi here too?" Another unfamiliar voice sounded.

"Teacher Granger?" Diwusi was surprised, "You’re here too?"

Federation Science Academy lifelong honorary advisor—Granger?

Mikhail was hit with a sudden bad feeling.

Two heavyweight figures coming far exceeded his expectations.

But along with these two heavyweights, there must be protectors of equal level, perhaps even stronger.

Gonzalez, however, was vaguely excited; it was evident that something extremely important was discovered here, with the Star Alliance being isolated outside, but thankfully, he’s here.

"The mechanical army on the periphery came from two Divine Craftsmen, right." Rafael suddenly asked; under conjoint navigation status, all warship channels were also shared.

"Yes." Costate nodded, seemingly perceptive, "Lord Reynolds, Lord Mikhail, and Azure Dragon’s disciples are all in the fleet."

"The arrival of two Divine Craftsmen is very timely; we’ve encountered some problems that feel quite tricky." Rafael said, "You should quickly come inside."

"This... " Li Ming frowned, looking at Mikhail, who had already spoken: "Lord Rafael, since it’s a secret place discovered by the Empire and Federation, we better not get involved to avoid misunderstandings."

"Having come here already, there’s no reason to leave." A sudden voice interjected, sounding bland and indifferent.

Costate furrowed his brows, only to see a figure suddenly float in the void nearby—wearing purple armor, with a cold expression.

He was startled, "Lord Tandin, you’re... you’re here too?"

At first, Mikhail was somewhat dazed; then his face changed drastically, "Empire Sword—Tandin?"

"Tandin, could he be that Tandin?" Reynolds’s throat rolled as he kept questioning.

"Tandin, who is that?" Only Li Ming was puzzled and confused.

"The strongest in the Empire..." Reynolds’s voice was bitter, "Even stronger than Bigust."

The strongest?

Li Ming froze slightly; his expression changed realizing something was off.

What level of event necessitates the presence of such figures? Just like the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins, the strongest there was Lancaster.

Gusta is already strong, with an energy level reportedly approaching 2000 X; this Tandin, being stronger than Gust, what level did he reach?

Before coming, they all thought this time the Red River Catastrophe lasted too short to have anything good.

But now, things were entirely different from what they imagined.

If they had expected to leave easily after rashly being drawn in, they were sorely mistaken.

"Yes, the value of Divine Craftsmen is indeed very high." Another gentle voice intervened; Diwusi exclaimed: "Lord, you’re... here too."

Costate’s expression trembled greatly, Gonzalez was stunned, Federation Lord?

He felt uneasy; if these were only slightly important secrets, the Empire and Federation might not do anything to him, fearing the Star Alliance.

But for something this important, all bets were off; Gonzalez wasn’t naive enough to think the Empire and Federation wouldn’t dare to kill him.

"The Federation Lord is actually here, what have they discovered here?" Mikhail’s face became increasingly unpleasant.

Li Ming didn’t need to think; this guy should be on the same level as Tandin.

Reynolds no longer spoke, struggling to say, "Are we in big trouble?"

"Not just big trouble." Mikhail said unwillingly, "We shouldn’t have come."

Having just discovered the prototype of the Mechanical Seed, intending to return and show off, how could this happen?

Li Ming’s expression shifted, feeling speechless; everyone said at first that there wasn’t anything good this time, but major figures had all arrived.

But since the current situation hadn’t been clarified yet, he didn’t want to hastily speak.

Mikhail exhaled deeply, adjusting his emotions; it hadn’t truly reached a dead end; perhaps it really was just some tricky issues.

"Prepare to follow the guiding ship inside, and don’t make any abrupt moves." Rafael said, clearly directed at Mikhail and them.

Costate’s expression became restrained; as his facial expression shifted, he seemed to faintly smile.

He never expected to encounter such a change, capturing Reynolds, Mikhail, and Li Ming altogether.

However, he was also genuinely curious about what was discovered that drew so many major figures together.

The massive mechanical army was slowly advancing inward, and the deeper they went, the more stable the surrounding torrents became.

"They actually built a turbulent zone here..." Reynolds peered out the porthole in surprise.

Every so often, a large number of warships gathered here, setting up stable nodes to weaken the impact of the current.

Below was a surge of black tide, rising and falling like oil.

"What in the world is there..." Reynolds looked through the porthole and various detection radars seeking the target.

"That is..."

Suddenly, Mikhail froze, his body trembling; he saw something floating in the distance through the porthole.

Li Ming’s pupils trembled; his heart felt as if gripped by an invisible force, suddenly tightening.

Even though there was still some distance, his eyesight still allowed him to see clearly.

It was a Terrax, a corpse of a Terrax?

Li Ming was shocked, linking the strong Empire and Federation figures who arrived, forming a more astonishing hypothesis.

This wasn’t just a corpse of a Terrax; it was Dominator Level!

"Holy! What is that, a corpse?" Reynolds was astonished.

Others in the warships were also shocked, staring blankly at the giant missing an arm, not foolish, instantly linking many dots.

Costate’s face turned red, Cedric’s breathing heavy, Lancaster clenched his fist, Diwusi was dumbstruck, Gonzalez was like struck by lightning.

"It’s over." Mikhail’s face was ashen, realizing they absolutely couldn’t leave here.

"Damn!" Reynolds also reacted, swearing uncontrollably.
