Chapter 1057 - A VIP (2/2)
There was no point in overthinking anything. Gorutan just continued to launch even more powerful attacks, using all his strength without holding back.
“Let me see all you’ve got, Black Star!”
At the same time, Byram’s fleet on the side did not dare attack the dynasty’s fleet. They could only watch while the dynasty set up the encirclement right under their noses and do nothing as their boss got beaten up and surrounded.
Seeing the dynasty’s stand on this matter, the various officers including Byram all felt uneasy. They had a feeling that the person they depended on might collapse.
“Father has nowhere to run. The dynasty has made up their mind on capturing him.”
“We can’t watch father get captured by the dynasty!”
“But how can we help? There are many dynasty Beyond Grade As here. Us going in is just suicide.”
“Is there even a way to solve this situation? Who can help us? Can the protectors of the Galactic Black Market help?”
“Impossible. They’re definitely not looking to interfere in something this big.”
As a protector of the Galactic Black Market, Gorutan had to rely on himself, and now he was alone. In situations like this, there was not going to be anyone like the Beyond Grade A allies of the three Universal Civilizations appearing to help him.
The same thought hit all of them, including Byram, simultaneously.
We’re done for…
Having realized this possibility, some of the officers and the crew started to have other thoughts.
Other than the loyal ones and the neutral ones, the rest were the rebels… Some of the offspring of Beast Ancestor hated their identity and their ‘father’ Gorutan. They felt that they were offspring on paper but actually just slaves. They had always been following the Beast Ancestor’s orders on the surface but would be more than glad to see Beast Ancestor killed in their hearts.
Seeing that Gorutan was now facing the revenge of such a powerful enemy, these people were overjoyed. The ambition in their hearts kept expanding.
…
A teleportation gate suddenly appeared in a rural area of the Flickering World, and Traveler stepped out from it.
“I’ve finally got out.” Traveler heaved a sigh of relief. He was quite wounded.
He had flown for a very long time till he finally got out of the range of the Black Star’s fleet’s stabilization anchor. On the way, he had been chased by Ames and Hila and was heavily wounded. Luckily, in the end, he escaped Black Star’s territory through teleportation.
Traveler took out his communicator and contacted the person in charge of the Super Star Cluster alliance.
“The developments of the situation have deviated from the plan. Hila somehow returned to the Black Star Palace. Our plan has failed.”
“We expected that. Black Star burned his potential in exchange for astonishing strength. Not only did he force the troops of the federation and the church to retreat, he even captured many Beyond Grade As. This message has yet to spread to the outside world; only high-level organizations know about it now. Your Excellency Traveler, it’s fine as long as you’re okay.”
“I see…” Traveler shook his head. As he retrieved the Evil Convergence, the evil vibe he gave disappeared, and he became easy to look past again. “I’ve already offended the Black Star Army, so I’m going to make a trip to the secondary dimension and won’t be appearing in the main universe for a very long time. Don’t call me to do things for now.”
“Understood. Since we could not start another conflict between the three Universal Civilizations, we won’t step foot in things like this for the time being and will slowly gather our strength for the next big move.”
“Humph. Black Star doesn’t know my identity yet. He’ll just be unhappy about me at most. You guys won’t be affected. As long as I disappear, he’ll stop caring. By the way, Sorokin thought I was hired, so he might notice something. That guy is suspicious. Pay more attention to him.”
“Understood.”
Traveler said a few words before hanging up and sighed.
I wonder how many years I’ll have to spend hiding in the secondary dimension this time…
He silently looked at this universe one last time before casting a spell and stepping into the secondary dimension, disappearing without a trace.
…
Time passed quickly.
The two people fought for a very long time, and before a large audience, the situation finally came to an end.
Tons of mechanical troops were damaged and became many Grades lower. Three Apostle Weapons were completely scrapped, and four Apostle Weapons were unable to fight for the time being. The Mechanical Deity got shattered once, and Silver Shadow’s health fell below the danger line… After paying a huge price, Han Xiao was finally able to push Gorutan to his limits.
Although peak Beyond Grade A Pugilists recovered energy very quickly, they did not have close to infinite energy like Kasuyi.
Looking over the battlefield, it was filled with machinery debris. The Dimension Factory was still tirelessly recycling it all.
In the middle of the battlefield, Gorutan was covered in wounds that were healing much slower than before and still spraying blood. His face was filled with exhaustion.
“You’ve lost. Anything you want to say?”
Han Xiao faced him, opened the helmet of the mechanical suit, and stared at him.
Although part of this was thanks to the fact that he was in an explosive state, this was still the first time he had defeated a peak Beyond Grade A alone.
“Ahem… a loss is a loss. There’s nothing to say.” Gorutan grinned, showing his teeth that were dyed red with blood. “What, you thought I would beg for mercy?”
“There’s always a price to pay when messing with someone. Since you decided to do that, you should have thought of the possibility of this happening.
“Humph, no need to say such nonsense to me. I knew what I was in for. At least I forced you to burn your potential. Your growth limit is now forever reduced, and you will never recover from it.”
Han Xiao shook his head but was laughing in his mind.
Even if he explained it, Gorutan would not believe it. Plus, he was not planning to explain it to anyone.
He paused, changed the topic, and slowly said, “You provoked me back then. If you’d taken a step back, today would not have happened. Compared to the life span you lost, you’re going to lose much more now.”
“If I did, that wouldn’t be me,” Gorutan said with a deep voice. “If I can’t do whatever I want, what’s the point of becoming so strong?”
Some chased after strength itself, while some chased after what came with it. Every Beyond Grade A was the former. They only became the latter afterward.
Not only Beyond Grade As, this was also the same for all Supers.
“No matter what, I shall have your body with a smile.” Han Xiao raised his hand and pressed on Gorutan’s chest.
“Humph, take it then. Don’t ever let me find the chance to turn the tables.”
Gorutan stood with a straight back, unafraid.
Begging for mercy was the act of a loser, but he was mentally prepared long ago. Even with this loss, he still remained graceful.
The next moment, this expression was fixed, and the spraying blood stopped moving.
‘Beast Ancestor’ Gorutan was sealed in Spacetime Amber!
