...
Matthew's heart stirred upon hearing this.
He casually inquired about the na of the fem fatale.
But the mantis bartender rely shook his head:
"No one knows her na, her identity was discerned by the Law Enforcent Team through Divination Spells, and it might very well be another layer of disguise."
"From what I've gathered, that woman can transform into anyone's appearance, but whenever she chooses to reveal herself, she inevitably exudes a Charm that ordinary people can't resist."
"The danger she poses lies exactly there, a relative of mine in the Law Enforcent Team told that with just one mont of distraction in her presence, you'd be dead."
"Besides, the murders she's orchestrated are solely targeting males, so buddy, if you ever run into her, either drop your other thoughts and kneel to beg for rcy, or just pray for your own good fortune..."
With those words.
The bartender pushed a glass of light purple wine toward Matthew.
Matthew took a few sips, following the acting code of the Astral Drakonids, he said nonchalantly:
"That's because she hasn't t !"
"After she ets , I guarantee she'll be the one kneeling and begging!"
The mantis bartender smiled:
"Perhaps."
"I've heard you dragonn indeed have a unique way with won."
"But let advise you, Space City was once a very calm place, even the Great Rift had little effect on it..."
"But with recent events, it's best everyone stays cautious."
After concluding that section.
He greeted Matthew and then went off to serve the new custors.
Matthew silently drank at the bar while coolly observing the other patrons.
One had to admit.
The mantis bartender's tone was quite sincere.
As fellow beings of the Star Realm Race.
The impression that the ones Matthew encountered in Space City left on him was starkly different from the god's minions he'd fought before.
The mantis folks in the city were evidently much more civilized.
Whereas those under the Star Realm God seed like a group of brainwashed zealots with no sense of self.
From this perspective.
Storluk Industries' rule was undoubtedly more civilized when compared to those of the Heavenly Palace.
Matthew suddenly thought.
In his past life's ga, he only knew the Antu Empire as the biggest villain.
In the ga, whenever he encountered the space undead, he would fight without a second thought, completely disregarding other aspects of the organization—
For example, their pursuit.
"What do the space undead aspire to?"
"The restoration of the Antu Empire?"
"Or universal dominion over the Multiverse with their dead souls?"
Matthew pondered silently in his heart.
"Although the space undead are detestable, they're not without their rits."
"At least those living in Space City of the Star Realm Race are undoubtedly happy..."
He stayed in the tavern for another three to four hours.
Not leaving until it closed.
He didn't gather much intelligence, but it was enough for Matthew to grasp the current situation on Storluk—
"The space undead have completely sealed off the entry and exit channels to Storluk, including the portals in Space City leading to the planet."
"The lockdown has not been lifted yet, and various rumors have spread throughout the city; so even think the blockade is to defend against the rumored murderess, yet there are Star Realm beings who have observed the arrival of the Butterfly."
"The Butterfly must not have been found by them yet; otherwise, there's no need for such tight security..."
After leaving the city.
Matthew found a secluded spot and attempted to transform into a Holy Deer, using his superpowers to break into Storluk.
But he didn't expect even this move to fail!
The Holy Deer's superpower was an exceptional skill for traversing nurous planes, nearly impossible to block.
This showed the extent to which the space undead controlled Storluk!
Not only did Matthew fail to bypass the blockade, but he also inadvertently triggered a strong alarm.
Thankfully, out in space.
The Holy Deer vanished without a trace.
Matthew, though he drew the attention of two space blockade forces, still managed to escape with ease using his powers.
However, after this attempt.
He realized that gaining entry to Storluk without inside help would be as difficult as reaching for the skies.
With the Sword of Slaughter in hand.
Matthew could force his way through.
But considering the previous Singularity Cannon, Matthew was still wary of Storluk Industries' lethal weapons.
A solo intrusion into enemy territory would be risky if he's not careful.
At such a crucial mont in his legendary journey, there was naturally no need to take such a risk.
After contemplating.
Matthew eventually decided to seek linda's help.
He had a secret way of contacting linda; previously in the material plane, the transmission of ssages was very difficult, but now that he was close by, it wouldn't be hard to get a ssage to Sif's mother.
Of course.
To be safe, Matthew didn't reveal anything in the ssage, just simply asked for a eting.
After all, linda's impression on him was of soone with no scruples except for the pursuit of the strong.
It was the Blood Moon Strike incident that had quietly shifted her stance towards Matthew.
And now, due to the Ascension event, she might change her stance yet again.
After the ssage was sent out.
A whole day passed.
Matthew received no reply from linda.
Instead, the murder spree of the fem fatale on the Three Major Satellites seed to intensify—
In less than a day.
Full fifteen individuals were dead.
And these fifteen were all with status, part of the managent echelon that Storluk Industries had placed within Space City!
It was said that the locations where these fifteen died were enveloped by vast webs of blood.
