Chapter 1432 - Reverse Halo (1/2)
An expedition fleet cruised through the secondary dimensions, passing through space cracks.
The strange scenery outside the window flashed past Harrison’s eyes one after another. He focused on the star map, and the coordinates of the secondary dimensions lit up one after another, drawing the trajectory of the fleet. Behind him, the other crew members did their jobs.
The aide-de-camp stood at the side, pointed at the star map, and said softly, “Following this route, we will cut into the area controlled by the World Tree. Although His Excellency Black Star killed the World Tree’s Blessed Race and caused a gap in their internal defenses, it is still very dangerous for us to go deeper.”
“I know, but only by going deep into the enemy’s territory will we be able to find the World Tree’s main body. Without risking our lives, how can we possibly find anything?” Harrison replied without hesitation.
The aide-de-camp pursed his lips and could not help but say, “Sir, why are you working so hard? With your relationship with His Excellency Black Star…”
“Alright, don’t say such things anymore. You don’t have to persuade me.” Harrison did not even look up.
The aide-de-camp smiled bitterly.
Do you think I care about you? The main thing is that if you shrink back, we can use your relationship to go back and rest…
The aide-de-camp said with resignation, “I think we’ll give free kills.”
“If you have the time to worry, you might as well pray that we’re safe and sound,” Harrison replied casually. “If praying is useful, what’s the point of having an army?” The aide-de-camp muttered softly.
Harrison glanced at him and was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and looked out of the window.
So
“Something’s wrong…” “What’s wrong?” The aide-de-camp was curious.
“I feel uneasy,” Harrison whispered.
“…Quick! Weapon charge, prepare for battle!”
The aide-de-camp and the rest of the crew panicked. They immediately yelled and ordered the fleet to enter combat mode.
They had no choice but to take it seriously. Last time, when Harrison was feeling uneasy, the expeditionary army outpost was gone. In their eyes, Harrison was a jinx. If he had any headache or fever, it meant that they were going to suffer together. Harrison looked at the radar screen vigilantly, but there was no abnormal reaction. The uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared, and his brows relaxed.
“Could it be an illusion…”
Harrison was a little confused, but he shook his head. Since he did not discover anything, he was not sure if his senses had gone wrong.
“Sir, don’t scare us!”
Hearing this, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief, their faces filled with helplessness. They thought it was his bad taste.
The expedition fleet quickly disappeared along the space crack. After they left, a translucent figure appeared in this secondary dimension. It was Hayleen.
“The exploration team of the three Universal Civilizations…”
Hayleen looked in the direction where the fleet disappeared. Her expression changed a few times, but she did not attack in the end.
During this time, she had been searching for suitable secondary dimensions to add the snake-killing agent. Occasionally, she would meet the troops of the three Universal Civilizations.
As the World Tree currently did not need to steal intelligence, she did not make a move. After all, there were other World Tree Blessed Races to deal with these people, and she did not want to alert them and expose herself. Her mission was more important.
However, the expeditionary army was also useful to her. According to the routes of some fleets, together with the mother tree’s reaction to the Pivotal Snake, Hayleen had screened out areas that might be frequented by the Pivotal Snake during this period, as well as some secondary dimensions that might be chosen by the Pivotal Snake as food. All of them were injected with the snake-killing agents. This time was no exception. Hayleen silently activated her space magic, found the traces of Harrison’s fleet, and flew toward their direction. Very soon, she arrived at a strange, rocky secondary dimension. The violent radiation dust storm turned into tornadoes, and there was no sign of life in the entire dimension. “This place isn’t bad.”
Hayleen nodded. As far as she knew, this type of secondary dimension that did not give birth to life but had different substances was the favorite food for the Pivotal Snake. The pure energy type secondary dimension was not liked by it. Maybe it was because of the texture, after all, those with substances were very crispy. She popped out the snake-killing agent and watched it integrate into the secondary dimension. Only then did she use a teleportation spell to leave and find her next target.
Half a month later.
The Realmless King led the Pivotal Snake through the secondary dimension world. The dense mechanical army protected them like a black cloud.
As they passed by the secondary dimensions, everyone would stop for a while to observe the reaction of the Pivotal Snake. If the Pivotal Snake did not start eating, they would continue to go to the next place.
Although all secondary dimensions were food, the Pivotal Snake would not stuff all of them into its mouth. After all, its appetite was limited, and it needed time to digest after eating. As long as it was not extremely hungry, the Pivotal Snake would only start to eat when it met a secondary dimension that suited its taste. As the saying went, it was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. It did not need to find its own food, so its taste was getting more and more picky.
After a while, they arrived at a strange, rocky secondary dimension. The Pivotal Snake immediately started twisting and turning. It took a fancy to this food, and without caring about the others, it started to feast on it. The white fog on its body spread out, and everywhere it passed, the matter was ground and swallowed.
Seeing this, the Realmless King and the mechanical army retreated to the side and did not disturb the Pivotal Snake’s meal.
