The Legendary Mechanic c1-1385

by Chocolion, 齐佩甲

This was the legendary capital of a Universal Civilization. Nero was extremely curious about everything, and if not for his godfather, he would never have been able to visit this place in his lifetime.

  The emissary then said with a smile, “Your Excellency Black Star, we will be in charge of all of your daily needs. Please find me if you need anything.”

  “Hmm, then why not take them to explore this place? The mother planet of the dynasty is very big, and you can show them all the fun places,” Han Xiao said.

  “Godfather, aren’t you going to come along with us?”

  “I still have something else to do and have to meet the Dynasty Ruler.”

  Han Xiao waved his hands and headed toward the core political building where Urranrell was. He had already reported his arrival, and Urranrell was waiting to see him.

  Han Xiao arrived outside the office of the Ruler quickly.

  The secretary knocked on the door, and Urranrell’s voice could be heard from the inside.

  “Please enter.”

  The door opened, and Han Xiao walked in.

  This was the second time that he had seen the Ruler, and just like the first time, only the two of them were in the room.

  “Black Star, you’re here. Please take a seat,” Urranrell said.

  Han Xiao nodded, and just as he sat down, Urranrell continued speaking.

  “You rendered huge merits during the battle at Planet Lighthouse. Good job.”

  Urranrell had only praised him through long-distance communication previously and would naturally have to give a personal praise to Han Xiao now that they had met each other.

  “I only did something small,” Han Xiao replied.

  “You’re too humble. The dynasty will always reward those with merit, and you should already know that we will increase our support to you in terms of resources and give you some benefits when assigning the territories for the Flickering World.”

  Urranrell then paused for a while before slowly saying, “I can give you a heads up. After the end of the first developmental phase, we will set up various basic facilities in the different Star Clusters and assign some territories to our allied organizations. You can give some suggestions on the topic of territory assignment, and we will consider your suggestions seriously.”

  Han Xiao raised his brows. This was akin to letting him pick the first territory. It probably was not only for his merits but also to rope him in.

  The development of a new Star Field was a long-term plan, and the dynasty was not anxious. After the exploration would be development. They would have to first develop the various regions that they had explored before expanding out into the other Star Clusters. At that time, the various allies would surely receive more than one piece of territory.

  This was good for Han Xiao. He would be able to gain a territory after the first phase was over and could officially develop his Mechanical Life civilization and shift the Black Spirit Race over.

  He would have a lot more freedom in his own territory compared to in the Shattered Star Ring and would not have to share a region with the other Star System Civilizations.

  “I’m looking forward to it.” Han Xiao smiled.

  “Hmm, let’s talk about some proper matters. The dynasty has summoned you this time for two matters. First, the dynasty promised the Arcane Church to help them unseal one of the Beyond Grade As, and we need your help.”

  Han Xiao nodded to indicate his agreement.

  “The second matter is to surround EsGod. It is also related to the first matter. The Arcane Church will only agree to join in the battle if you unseal one seal.”

  Han Xiao was slightly shocked upon hearing that.

  The Arcane Church was also dragged into it?

  He did not receive news of this beforehand and was a little surprised.

  “Isn’t it only the Federation of Light? The Arcane Church is…”

  “This is my intention. Since you pulled the Federation of Light into this, I called the Arcane Church along, and they are willing to help us.”

  This was an unexpected surprise. With the Arcane Church joining, the three Universal Civilizations were working together, so they would have a greater chance of getting rid of EsGod!

  Han Xiao pretended to ponder for a moment before saying with a smile, “We were the only ones involved originally, but with the three Universal Civilizations working together, we can save a lot of effort.”

  “This isn’t the only reason. It is also because of you.”

  “Me?”

  “Yes, the dynasty can feel your murderous intent toward EsGod, and we chose to do so to fulfill your wish.”

  Han Xiao was truly overwhelmed with grace.

  This meant that his suggestion had influenced the decision of the dynasty!

  “You are an important ally of the dynasty, and we will naturally respect your thoughts.” Urranrell paused for a moment before continuing. “We shall end the conversation here today. I still have some things to take care of, and the Arcane Church fleet has not arrived yet. Remain on Planet Crimson Ring for a while, and we will inform you of the exact time of the operation.”

  “Okay.”

  Han Xiao could tell that the other party was inviting him to leave.

  It seems like the Dynasty Ruler is truly busy.

  Han Xiao then stood up and took his leave.

  Hearing the door behind him close, Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and was truly excited.

  The Crimson Dynasty originally only planned to put up a show to deal with EsGod, but he caused the three Universal Civilizations to work together!

  This situation was because of his suggestion, and the outcome was better than he had imagined!

  His resolution to get rid of EsGod was recognized by the dynasty, and there was also the effect of the Political Asset.

  The influence that he had accumulated over the years was finally effective!

  “It’s payback time.” Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

  Chapter 887 - Troops Established

  Leaving the government building, Han Xiao’s communicator rang. It was Milizaus who called him.

  “Black Star, are you on Planet Crimson Ring already?” Milizaus chuckled.

  “Yes, are you here too? I didn’t see you around.”

  “I haven’t arrived yet. We are having a long-distance gathering. Come online for a while.”

  “Alright.” Han Xiao entered the quantum network and found an encrypted channel.

  The next moment, his projection appeared in a huge room with a round table in front of him and plenty of seats around. His own projection was currently in one of the seats. Most of the seats were filled with only four empty ones at the moment.

  Han Xiao then looked around and realized that everyone present was an ally of the dynasty. It was like a Beyond Grade A group chat for the Crimson Dynasty.

  Without anybody organizing a meeting, the ‘group chat’ would usually be silent with no one online. Currently, most of the Beyond Grade As were online, and many familiar faces were present. That included ‘Dragon King’ Milizaus, ‘Incineration’ Beyoni, ‘Warship Emperor’ Maximiler, ‘Fox Arts’ Ravenlaude, ‘Star Slasher’ Viru, and Little Ty-Ty. ‘Dark Lord’ Clotti and another of the three pillars were not online.

  “Haha, Black Star is here.” Beyoni was the most welcoming, and he looked very happy.

  Everyone then looked at Han Xiao and greeted him. The two who fought with him on Planet Lighthouse were the friendliest. Maximiler was also pretty friendly. Ravenlaude and Heber greeted him calmly, and the others had a trace of respect in their voices.

  After the battle on Planet Lighthouse, Han Xiao had gained the battle record of capturing a Beyond Grade A alive, which cemented his status in the Beyond Grade A group.

  Although Han Xiao had only entered the Beyond Grade A realm not too long ago, he had already gained the respect of his comrades and was officially accepted into the group. He was now at the middle rungs of the g
roup and had an even greater status than some ordinary Beyond Grade As. At the very least, there would not be anyone who intentionally provoked him anymore.

  Fists reigned supreme after all, and the Beyond Grade As only respected strength.

  Facing the friendly looks on the faces of his comrades, Han Xiao replied to all of them warmly.

  After which, the organizer of this meeting, Milizaus, started the meeting.

  “The other four aren’t coming, and there isn’t a need to consider them. Let’s begin our discussion. Everyone knows that the dynasty plans to send out at least three Beyond Grade As to kill EsGod and has prepared a name list. However, they would like to ask us if we are willing first. There isn’t a need to talk about Black Star since he is resolute about killing EsGod. I also plan to help him. Is anyone else interested?”

  A Universal Civilization could not easily order a Beyond Grade A around and would generally consider if the Beyond Grade A Super was willing to participate in the operation.

  Everyone then fell into deep thought while glancing at Han Xiao once in a while.

  Han Xiao looked around and felt Milizaus looking at him. He immediately understood Milizaus’ intentions.

  Milizaus had heard from the dynasty about Han Xiao’s intention to kill EsGod and thus summoned most of the dynasty’s Beyond Grade As. In fact, he was trying to find partners for Han Xiao and give Han Xiao a chance to choose his teammates.

  Right at this moment, Beyoni shrugged his shoulders and said, “Black Star, you were around when we last fought EsGod. It isn’t that I don’t wish to help you, but I am also an Esper, and EsGod’s ability is my nemesis. I shall not take up a slot in this battle.”

  Han Xiao nodded in agreement. Indeed, EsGod had the ability to silence Espers and was the nemesis of most Espers. Beyoni was not wrong to say that he would be useless if he went.

  However, understanding was one thing, but he still had to show disdain.

  Ah, little brother.

  I only have a single word for you—noob!

  Upon seeing the rest remain silent, Han Xiao said, “The Dynasty Ruler revealed some information to me just now. The dynasty isn’t the only one taking action this time; the Federation of Light and Arcane Church will also be participating. With all three parties working together, they won’t be putting up a show. There is a good chance to get rid of EsGod. I definitely won’t let go of this opportunity, and I will definitely be thankful to anyone who is willing to help me.”

  Upon hearing that, the eyes of many lit up. This meant that they would be able to use the Evolution Cube if they helped Black Star get rid of EsGod.

  “I will participate.” Ravenlaude was the first to speak.

  “Alright, who else?” Milizaus asked calmly.

  As an Ancient One, both him and Ravenlaude were not easy to deal with. Although their relationship was not good, he also recognized Ravenlaude’s strength. An ordinary Beyond Grade A was not capable of becoming an Ancient One. Milizaus would naturally be willing to select a few more powerful allies for Black Star.

  There was no need to consider the other two pillars. Clotti would keep guard beside Urranrell, and the other one was guarding a Star Field.

  Heber was also tempted but could not bring himself to offer help.

  Some rejected and others were not too interested. Finally, more than half of the Beyond Grade As present decided to participate in the operation. Together with Han Xiao, there were seven individuals in total.

  Milizaus, Maximiler, Ravenlaude, Viru, Kohler, and Lotus Swordsman—these six were his comrades participating in the operation to get rid of EsGod. Kohler was a Pugilist, and Lotus Swordsman was a female Psychic. There was not a single Esper among the group.

  “Will seven of us be too many? Will the dynasty agree?” Ravenlaude asked.

  “We can help him in our personal capacity if the dynasty doesn’t agree. Can the dynasty object?” Lotus Swordsman said.

  The Crimson Dynasty originally planned to send out three to five people, but because Han Xiao had promised to use the Evolution Cube as a reward, the troop had seven individuals, which was out of the dynasty’s expectations.

  However, the dynasty did not have any issue with it. After all, it would not be good for them to stop their allies from seeking help personally. Furthermore, it was not a bad thing either.

  Han Xiao then sized up this female Psychic. She had long white hair and violet skin. Her appearance looked similar to that of a human, and she was considered beautiful by the standards of the galaxy. She gave out a dreamlike aura and had a unique sense of charisma.

  Lotus Swordsman was her name, not a title. Swordsman was her surname, and Lotus was her forename.

  She came from a special race called the Rainis Race. The members of this race did not have any gender before the age of fifteen, and their bodies would undergo a special transformation at the age of fifteen. They could become a female or male, and this ceremony would be called the ‘Gender Determination Ceremony’. Once their gender was decided, they would not be able to change it in the future.

  As such, the race put heavy emphasis on splitting up the workload evenly. However, because the Gender Determination Ceremony affected one’s life, there were far too many people who chose to become males every year. Even if society increased the benefits and status of females, the birth rate was still falling.

  As such, the Rainis Race had a quota of females to fulfill every year to ensure that their race could continue to reproduce. Lotus Swordsman was one of the unlucky candidates to be picked when she was young and forced to become a female.

  Despite the Rainis Race producing a Beyond Grade A Super, they did not receive any protection. Lotus Swordsman had long announced that the Rainis Race had nothing to do with her and managed her own organization.

  Their other comrade, Kohler, was a Beyond Grade A who had completely submitted to the dynasty. He did not have an organization, and although his strength could not be compared to Heber, he was still a Beyond Grade A.

  “I will have to rely on all of you for help,” Han Xiao said sincerely.

  After chatting a while longer, Milizaus announced the end of the meeting and informed the dynasty of the outcome.

  Han Xiao then left the quantum network and heaved a sigh of relief.

  His teammates had already been set. With the dynasty sending out seven people, there would definitely be more than ten Beyond Grade As together with the other two parties. The scale of the battle might reach the same level as the battle on Planet Lighthouse.

  But this time, all of them were going to deal with EsGod alone, and EsGod’s situation was far worse than the dynasty’s during the battle on Planet Lighthouse.

  Han Xiao clenched his fists in excitement and prepared for battle!

  Chapter 888 - Future Dynasty Ruler

  The dynasty’s team had been decided. A group of seven Beyond Grade As was an extremely powerful force, and the number had exceeded Han Xiao and the dynasty’s expectations. The dynasty agreed to the list of members of the team and gathered their fleet to prepare for the battle.

  Before dealing with EsGod, they had to first complete the trade with the Arcane Church.

  The Arcane Church escort fleet was still on the way, and Han Xiao was awaiting his orders on Planet Crimson Ring. He could take the time out to accompany Nero and the others to explore Planet Crimson Ring.

  Planet Crimson Ring was extremely large with plenty of floating cities in the sky. There were many sights that were famous in the universe. Furthermore, Planet Crimson Ring was the origin of the Crimson Dynasty Civilization, and many historical locations from a long time ago were retained.

  Under the lead of the tour guide, Han Xiao and the others spent this time exploring many different tourist locations.

  Han Xiao belonged to the dynasty faction in his previous life and had naturally explored the mother planet of the dynasty before. Because he was familiar with the situation on the planet, he was not too curious and was mainly t
here to accompany Nero and the others.

  Planet Crimson Ring had plenty of rich mission resources, but to the present Han Xiao, the value of these missions was not great. Furthermore, his current status was different, and his every action would be watched by others. As such, it was impossible for him to become an errand boy for someone else.

  Most importantly, there were many familiar missions and characters that had not appeared at this time yet.

  Today, their group arrived at the Saint Palace Museum of the dynasty.

  This museum was the largest one in the Crimson Dynasty and had objects from every historical period during the development of the Crimson Dynasty.

  The Saint Palace Museum was a large garden with dozens of different palaces. The palaces all had different styles to represent the different time period of the dynasty.

  The advantage of having the dynasty’s tour guide beside them was that they did not need to queue up or buy an entrance ticket. Han Xiao led Feidin, Reynold, and Reynold to skip the long queue and entered the museum through a special entrance.

  Their special privilege drew the attention of those queuing up, and everyone began whispering to each other.

  “That seems to be Black Star from the Shattered Star Ring. I saw him on the news before.”

  “To think that we’d be able to meet such a bigshot. How lucky.”

  “Quick, take a picture!”

  These tourists were all extremely excited and took out their cameras to take pictures. A Beyond Grade A Super was an individual who truly held great authority and was completely different from these ordinary galactic residents. Now that they had met Han Xiao, it was like meeting a famous celebrity on the streets.

  These tourists came from many different races and civilizations. The Psionic Seal Ring was there to protect the mother planet but not to seal off the mother planet. At the very least, they would not do so during this generation. It was just that every visitor had to go through stringent checks and could only spend a limited time on the planet.
