【Subscribe】_1 The Big Mosquito continues its mutation.
anwhile, in a domain far from this place, a strange object is traveling at an extre speed through space!
This spacecraft, with the appearance of a rod, bears nurous scars on its body, seeming near to ruin.
Despite this, it travels at a trendous speed, covering distances that humans could scarcely even imagine in almost an instant!
Before long, this craft enters a massive object that resembles a teorite.
Oddly, as it approaches the teorite, the bottom part of the massive object opens up like a hatch, allowing the spacecraft to fly inside!
When the craft stabilizes and the hatch opens, a strikingly tall and incredibly beautiful woman steps out.
Dressed almost like in an armor, emanating a powerful aura of nace, she appears to have been through a recent battle.
“The Big Mosquito must be dead, right!?
Even if the explosion didn’t go as I planned, he must have perished.
After all, he cannot survive in space yet, and suffocation alone would have spelled his end!”
This woman is none other than Daphne, who had previously abandoned Jia Yan.
As a mber of the ‘Empire’ and a woman who wants to formally join its ranks, everything she does must be for the benefit of the Empire.
Thus, she had abandoned the Giant Mosquito earlier.
“I guess the explosion was caused by Auro ssing around before his death.
As a result, the force of the explosion wasn’t as powerful.
However, that doesn’t matter.
Auro’s signal base has been destroyed!
The only unfortunate thing is that he had managed to send out a signal.
I must rush and send a signal to the Empire’s exploration ship or they might beat to it!”
Daphne steps onto the ground with her beautiful legs and quickly moves to a place filled with light and shadow.
Just by looking at this base, it seems more technologically advanced than the Auster people’s base.
However, those in the know can discern that the technological strength of the two civilizations doesn’t differ too much.
The Auster civilization simply focuses more on practicality, whereas the Empire, where Daphne hails from, goes further in aesthetics!
In other words, they are much more showy!
anwhile, Earth people seem to lean more towards the path of the Auster civilization, focusing on pragmatism.
It’s unclear whether the Auster civilization has been an influence in this regard.
Daphne moves about in this base that spans a couple of hundred ters, equivalent to the height of an Earth skyscraper, with an even larger cross-sectional area than such buildings on Earth.
If it were to only accommodate humans, it could probably house thousands, or even tens of thousands, without any issue!
This is why, after a long walk, she rides sothing like an electric car to a certain area.
Here, she doesn’t use her speed of over a hundred ters per second, as a necessary sign of respect.
Even though she remains the only representative of the so-called Empire in this place, her rank is certainly not the highest!
Eventually, she walks into a gateway-like structure, arriving before a dark screen.
“Code FGEK-35294, request for main computer activation, urgent mission report!” she says.
After she finishes speaking, the previously dark huge screen suddenly lights up, and then a faint glow appears—the screen is on!
After a long and complicated process of security confirmation and password entries, Daphne finally reaches the actual operation!
She lowers her hands, and a virtual keyboard made of light and shadow automatically appears in front of her.
She rapidly types on these keys, performing another series of security checks and password entries!
With a tense heart, she finally presses a button!
In the screen, a waiting prompt lights up.
Soon, Daphne sees sothing resembling a cannon slowly extending in the display area of the screen.
Although the base is only about two hundred ters in width and height, this ‘cannon’ reaches a terrifying fifty ters in length with a diater of over ten ters!
As Daphne watches in surprise, this cannon-like structure slowly shifts direction.
It doesn’t take long before its ‘muzzle’ suddenly emits an intense purple light.
This light was intensely dazzling, and without protection, it could leave a person blinded, just like staring directly at the sun.
Of course, Daphne in the base wouldn’t have to worry about this.
She saw a purple flare-like substance suddenly bursting out from the barrel.
However, the mont this substance shot out from the muzzle, it seed to disappear into the vacuum.
Had it not been for the explosive initial reaction, she might have doubted whether the signal transmission had failed.
Yet, even as she watched, another purple substance materialized in the distant reaches of space, and in less than half a minute, it vanished once again.
Daphne simply wouldn’t have ti to observe this substance’s appearance and disappearance, or perhaps this substance couldn’t be detected by ordinary equipnt at all.
Because its speed had surpassed the speed of light!
The payload it carried was composed of fairly simple materials.
It would have to undergo a series of analyses to decipher the string of characters that Daphne had typed earlier.
That ssage was ant for the exploration ship, whose distance from them was unknowable.
Whether they would return to the Solar System, Daphne didn’t know, she even didn’t know whether the exploration ship still existed.
After all, three hundred years had passed!
The Empire’s exploration ships, though powerful, were not immune to the unpredictable dangers of the starry sky.
Indeed, encountering unexpected hazards was a distinct possibility.
But her mission ended here.
If all went well, the exploration ship would naturally return ho.
She was even fantasizing about receiving an award for this mission, which could help her attain formal citizenship of the Empire.
After all, the star-condensing mineral wasn’t sothing ordinary.
Even an exploration ship, might not find a planet harboring this mineral even after a thousand years of searching!
Considering she was the one who discovered the star-condensing mineral, there should be no problem in receiving the Empire’s reward and becoming a true citizen of the Empire, right?
Daphne, always wearing a poker face, revealed a faint smile.
What she didn’t know was that when she sent her ssage, far above Neptune, a monster she thought was undoubtedly dead was growing stronger in the ruins not yet completely destroyed by her…
Evolutionary Creatures, which could terrify each civilization and even rank among the top 100 of the danger level, were not to be taken lightly.
The most terrifying part was that, if the creature wasn’t completely annihilated, what could happen next and how powerful the monster could beco were impossible to guarantee!
If the enemy evolved into an almost invincible ‘Star Sky Beast’, it would be too late for a civilization to regret!
And now, in the sky above Neptune, a Giant Mosquito heading down a similar path was slowly transitioning…
transitioning…
Just how powerful it would ultimately beco was unknown to everyone!
Perhaps even the Giant Mosquito itself didn’t know.
After all, it had been fed a wealth of information in space, and its grasp of its own path, its steps forward was only vague.
Even these vague impressions were enough for it to think hard for a long ti, so it dared not speculate how powerful it could beco in the current mutation.
Jia Yan has long figured out that his evolution on Earth was probably reaching its limit.
He had previously sensed that even the green-grey pebbles of the tal Monsters on Earth were no longer attractive to him.
So, he thought he would maintain his current form for a long ti, maybe even until his death.
But he never would have expected that the opportunity for his next mutation would arrive so soon!
The spacecraft of the Auster civilization had too many advanced substances, so many that Jia Yan didn’t even know which one to absorb first!
