The three of them discussed the specific plan in detail for a mont, filling in so gaps, and then temporarily modified so details based on the current situation.
And just as the two remote projections were about to leave, the Blood Avatar suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise. His body, condensed from fresh blood, rippled like water waves:
"I just sensed a Descendant approaching. The ones I can sense must definitely be Blood Descendants within ten generations."
"You still have Descendants alive in the world?" The remote projection on the left asked with a hint of doubt.
"Of course I do..." The Blood Avatar glanced at that person and said dissatisfiedly, "Not long ago, soone even initiated a Blood Tide within the Star Glory Empire."
Before the two could speak, he seed to have sensed sothing again: "Soone severed the connection between and the Descendant."
"If that's the case, it ans the other party isn't one of your people." The remote projection on the right pondered for a mont and said, "Can your Descendant sense your existence?"
"No, I am their origin, I am the only one who can control them." The Blood Avatar shook his head, which made the projection on the right breathe a slight sigh of relief.
What he feared the most was that soone would deduce this guy's existence through the Blood Descendant, and thereby guess sothing.
This was just a minor interlude. The three didn't take it to heart, and then each left.
...
The Sinistra Star System Main Planet was located in the "Black Graveyard" area, situated near a certain section of the Ancient Starpath, and was controlled by a large ard faction.
It was a rather famous Grey Zone near the Ancient Starpath.
Anthony led the Sith Squad, following the clues, and began to step onto this planet.
At this mont, the blood-red sunset glow was dyeing the horizon, and Artificial Light Sources were setting, making the entire sky look incomparably magnificent.
Then, the curtain of night enveloped the firmant, and dazzling lights successively lit up.
The disillusioned colors composed of frenzied lust, mixed with the gloomy atmosphere ford by sches and plots, brought out the best in each other.
Here, there were black market rchants from various Star Systems, bounty hunters, Marauders...
Anthony and the others walked on the street, looking left and right, observing their surroundings.
Carol lowered his voice and said:
"They lost their tracking signal after arriving here. There should be soone receiving them in this place."
Anthony was Noncommittal. The group walked for a while, and suddenly soone spoke on the channel:
"Lord Anthony, look to the northwest, that silver-gray flying vehicle."
Anthony looked up and saw a flying vehicle flying over from a distance, stopping at a parking platform on the upper floor of a tall building.
A group of Bodyguards surrounded a young man and parted the crowd. Two of the Bodyguards unabashedly exuded a terrifying Aura.
The surrounding passersby also noticed this group of people and all looked up.
Carol took a glance and muttered, "That looks like a big shot."
To be able to employ A-Tier Lifeforms as Bodyguards, their background was definitely not small.
"Which family's young master has co here to play this ti? It's really a pity, they lost their worries at such a young age."
"Alright, stop looking. That kind of big shot, we won't have any intersection with them in our entire lives."
"..."
People nearby discussed in low voices, their tone filled with envy.
Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Anthony and the others, but now that they had temporarily lost their clues, they didn't mind investigating everything that felt abnormal.
"Lord Claptrap, could you check who these people are?"
In his Smart Terminal, there was a program avatar of Claptrap, which could access Returning Star's massive database using Li Yu's Authority, making it very convenient.
"Comparing database... Comparison complete. The target on the left has a matching entry."
Looking down, Anthony's eyes flickered. According to Returning Star's classified data records, that person was nad Karchit. He used to be the guardian deity of a small civilization.
But later, their civilization was absorbed by a nearby large civilization, so he left his hotown and joined the Abyss Institute.
"Abyss Institute?" Anthony rembered that Li Yu had sent him a ssage not long ago, telling him not to let go of any clues regarding the Abyss Institute if he encountered them.
He tracked the group of people who escorted the Hard Drive from the Tambur Hub, experiencing many twists and turns, before tracking them here.
However, after arriving here, the tracker he secretly planted lost its signal.
And now, a certain big shot suspected to be from the Abyss Institute ca here, which was enough to make him vigilant.
"If it's soone from the Abyss Institute, then it seems they are also our target." Carol spoke in the channel.
Anthony nodded, his Snake pupils flashing as he stared at that group of people.
"Lord Anthony, I sensed it, there are three more A-Tier Lifeforms hidden in the dark."
The one speaking was a mber of the Esper squad. What he awakened was a Perception-Type Ability.
Normal hiding and disguise were useless in front of him, and he used this to determine the other party's position and combat power.
Anthony stopped his steps, glanced at the positions of the hidden blades, and found that these three people faintly surrounded this place.
He didn't know if they were secretly protecting this big shot from the Abyss Institute, or if they had other intentions.
"Be careful, I feel sothing is wrong."
Anthony warned in the channel, while silently heading towards the direction of that tall building. And as he got closer and closer, he could clearly feel a sense of being watched.
Clearly, soone had already noticed them and listed them as surveillance targets.
He didn't act rashly but walked straight past this building. And not long after they walked past this building, everyone found that the Earth beneath their feet seed to be faintly vibrating.
Rumble!!
A piercing explosion glare ca from a distance, a dazzling explosion Light Beam rose, and the firelight illuminated the night sky, drawing a lot of attention.
Whoosh! A Shockwave swept over like a landslide and tsunami, like a hurricane rising from flat ground.
The firelight rose under the night sky, and countless passersby around had astonished faces, stopping to turn their heads and look towards the place where the explosion occurred.
"The situation is wrong!"
Anthony furrowed his brows.
Those three guys indeed weren't protectors. Soone else also wanted to attack the Abyss Institute!?
Just as the thought flashed by, a piercing alarm abruptly swept the whole city. The next mont, the passersby erupted in chaos.
They weren't fleeing in panic; they weren't ordinary people. Under this kind of attack, their first thought wasn't to run away, but to take advantage of the chaos to gain so benefits.
...
Bang!
A chanical Flail flashed with silver light, smashing an attacker's head to pieces, spraying blood all over the ground.
The Bodyguards spread out in a ring, firmly protecting a young man in the center. An endless stream of attackers rushed out from the crowd.
They slaughtered each other, and Energy Rays bombarded the Bodyguards' Shields. Bodyguards were continuously blasted to annihilation, leaving not even powder behind.
On this battlefield, one of the Bodyguards was Invincible, displaying A-rank combat power, charging left and dashing right, sweeping away a large area.
Anything blocking his way was smashed to pieces by him, but this group of attackers wasn't just Cannon Fodder either.
A figure rushed out diagonally, wielding a purple High-Frequency Vibration chanical Sword. His speed was extrely fast, and his target was clear—it was exactly the young man in the center!
The Bodyguard pounded his chest with both hands, and strange black symbols imdiately lit up on his body, while a large amount of Black Mist surged out.
It condensed in mid-air, forming a massive figure, only the upper body, with a bizarre shape. A manic Energy seed to be transmitted from the Void, lodging within this mass of Black Mist.
Dinsional Power, also the power upon which the Abyss Institute built its fa.
The massive Black Mist rushed towards the enemy. If it hit the enemy, the enemy's skin would quickly wither, suffering severe trauma.
But since the enemy dared to attack them, they naturally made foolproof preparations. The person wielding the Cyclic Oscillation chanical Sword threw out a silvery-white chanical sphere.
It cracked open in mid-air, extending various complex chanical structures, constructing a dense purple energy net that completely wrapped the Black Mist.
That seemingly incredibly powerful Black Mist touched the purple energy net, and just like winter snow eting fire, it rapidly lted with a sizzling sound, and emitted black smoke.
Although there were gaps between the energy nets, the Black Mist couldn't break through no matter what, and could only be trapped within.
At the sa ti, the other two A-Tier Lifeforms lying in ambush also charged out. A fierce battle was underway.
The aftermath of the unrestrained collision of five A-Tier Lifeforms collapsed a large number of tall buildings, turning many city blocks into Ruins.
However, the ard faction controlling this Star System was late to arrive. They selectively ignored this area currently engaged in battle, turning a blind eye to it.
They didn't seem to intend to get involved, not helping either side.
And that young man, at this ti, was protected in a temporary Energy Shield, unable to move.
His two Bodyguards were quite devoted to their duty. Even though they knew the disadvantage was huge, they gritted their teeth and resisted the siege of the three people.
Bang!
Suddenly, one Bodyguard endured a heavy blow, violently spat out a mist of blood, and was sent flying by the strike, crashing through a dozen tall buildings and flying far away.
The remaining Bodyguard in the field suffered focused Fire, and his injuries rapidly worsened.
This group of vicious thugs weren't simple figures either, possessing various thods targeted against the Abyss Institute.
With a montary lapse, this Bodyguard's limb was severed, and blood gushed out.
This person's face turned pale, but he just let out a muffled grunt, gritting his teeth and wanting to Counterattack.
However, even if he gritted his teeth to pieces, it wouldn't bring him any Amplification in Strength.
His body continuously suffered focused heavy blows. As he moved high in the air, he spilled patches of blood, his face beca increasingly pale, and his Aura rapidly declined.
Both Bodyguards were heavily injured. The young man lost the protection of experts and had beco a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, exposed to the enemy's sharp claws.
"Grab him!" The three people's faces showed joy, and they were about to join forces to finish off the target.
However, the next mont, a sudden change occurred. Beams of blazing light cannons suddenly descended from the sky, attacking towards this place. The three people sensed the crisis and hurriedly scattered to dodge.
Rumble!
The light cannons blasted in front of the few people, the Earth shattered because of it, and the soil was instantly crystallized by the high temperature.
Accompanied by the bombardnt, several figures darted into the battlefield with clear division of labor. So blocked in front of them, and so darted towards that young man.
"Who are you?!" One of them imdiately felt sothing was wrong. This group of guys who suddenly appeared before his eyes were not in their intelligence.
They weren't the ard forces here, and they didn't even give them much oppressive feeling; they were only B-Tier Lifeforms.
"Courting death!"
After reacting, the three people quickly took action. However, the terrifying Gravity, the sense of obstruction coming from the air, and the ice path extending beneath their feet slowed their speed down by half a beat.
"All Espers?" The three people were slightly surprised, and then saw the other party had already swept up that young man and moved far away.
Bang!
Muffled roars sounded, and the Earth instantly cracked. The three people broke free from the restraints, carrying a bit of anger from humiliation, and directly sent the crowd blocking the way flying.
However, to their surprise, although this group of people spat blood, they didn't die. They forcefully withstood one of their blows and rapidly evacuated in all directions.
Even though they didn't use their full Strength in their haste, it was still a blow from A-Tier Lifeforms, yet it didn't kill this group of people.
Unable to care about pursuing this group of people, they headed towards the direction of the mission target.
"Clay takes over, activate your ability, create temporary illusions..."
Instantly, the figure fleeing with the young man rapidly split into dozens.
"Witt, continue using Stagnant Gravity. Delay as long as you can."
Anthony unhurriedly commanded in the channel, his gaze fixed on the battlefield, attempting to Snatch Food From A Tiger's Mouth from the hands of three A-Tier Lifeforms.
However, trying to fool three A-Tier Lifeforms was exceptionally difficult. The High-Tech Armor on them could instantly distinguish virtual illusions and lock onto the target.
Boom!
The High-Frequency Vibration chanical Sword plunged in front of Carol. Under the cyclic oscillation, the Earth rapidly cracked and spread out for thousands of ters, and the surrounding tall buildings tilted unsteadily.
He reacted extrely fast, turning one hundred and eighty degrees, and continued running in another direction.
"It's you guys who have been tracking us all along, right?" Just at this ti, the young man carried by Carol suddenly raised his head, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly: "Li Yu's people?"
In the battle just now, it seed no one noticed that on this young man's face, from beginning to end, a look of panic had never appeared.
Carol's pupils shrank. Before he had ti to react, an abundant and massive force ca from the other party's body.
His arm couldn't bear the heavy load, crack! It was directly broken, and his whole person even fell to the ground, rolling far away.
"Anthony, there's a problem!" Carol gasped heavily, struggling to stand up.
Anthony stared at that young man in the distance, his Snake pupils shrinking slightly.
That young man stopped in his tracks and quietly waited for the three A-Tier Lifeforms chasing from behind.
He took a deep breath. The faint sll of blood perating the air gave him an intoxicated expression: "Since you've all been lured out, then let's resolve this all together."
