Chapter 1077: Chapter 553: Eternal Silence Star Within Reach (Part 2)

“Alright, stop whining and get to the point. What did you discover?”

The team mber who had fallen to the ground staggered up, seemingly unfazed by the leader’s “insult,” and excitedly said, “Black Gold Liquid Oil, and it’s ultra-highly compressed with a purity of over 90%!”

“By visual estimation, not less than a thousand cubic ters!”

“A thousand cubic ters?!” Zorro’s pupils widened, his cheeks shifting, and suddenly he burst into laughter, “It’s worth at least ten billion Star Coins… Haha, I knew it, the bad luck couldn’t last forever.”

“Damn Robbin, when I called you to co, you didn’t want to. Now… I’m going to hit it big!”

He shouted in the channel, prompting agreent from the team mbers, “Exactly, if Lord Robbin knew, he would definitely be jealous of the captain’s luck.”

Hearing these words, Zorro’s laughter suddenly stopped.

He scanned around, locked onto the speaker, and kicked over, sending them rolling on the ground.

“Goddammit, Robbin and I have been through life and death, and you think he’d be jealous of ?” Zorro snorted coldly, “When I rise up, I’ll definitely rescue him from Azure Dragon’s claws.”

This ti, no one chid in; they looked at each other in dismay.

The boss still stubbornly thinks it’s a claw, even though Lord Robbin has beco an A-Level Life Form.

“Alright, hurry up and dig! I want to switch ships, I want to buy Genetic Seeds, I want to evolve into an A-Level Life Form!” Zorro ordered.

He appeared crazy, yet seed to have considerable authority.

Under his command, the team mbers began to act in an orderly fashion.

Soone deployed an automatic mining machine from the giant ship, which seed to be a high-end model, firing dissolving beams toward a predetermined location, inducing slight tremors in the ground.

“Boss, the ground tremors might awaken a Dinsional Creature,” soone cautioned.

Zorro’s expression was solemn, “Fortune favors the brave. The main creature of this Dinsion World has already been killed by soone, and it’s almost falling into the Deep Dinsion World, leaving only ordinary things. Hold on for a while longer.”

“Okay!”

Although they faced life-threatening danger, no one questioned his words. Everyone carried out their duties, setting up shockwave absorbers around the area.

The ground buzzed incessantly, and the drilling beam soon penetrated deep into the earth.

“… 200 ters underground, 250 ters…” An operator reported the system readings, but abruptly, the voice changed: “Wait a minute…”

Before the words finished, the ground erupted with a violent rumble, and the outermost team mbers were suddenly flipped over, crashing into the deploying shockwave absorber.

tal struts sparked as they scraped against sand, instantly igniting the black dust within a five-ter radius.

“Damn!”

Zorro kicked away a smoking energy battery, the red warning lights inside his helt painting his pupils blood-red, and he turned abruptly: “What the hell is going on?”

“The drilling beam deviated by 16 degrees, it seems to have hit sothing!”

A team mber shouted, with a wisp of fine sand leaking from the elbow joint of his protective suit, now spreading upward along the inside of his arm.

The automatic drill emitted a mournful whine, the piercing blue beam shaking violently, and the ground suddenly cracked with web-like fissures, releasing fine shattered lights that covered the entire area.

“What the heck is this?” Zorro looked bewildered, reaching to touch the shattered lights before him, only to discover in horror.

The protective masks on the faces of crew mbers nearby were corroding into honeycomb-shaped lesions, expanding rapidly.

The adhesive seal of the life-support conduit at the back of their necks was visibly blackening and carbonizing with eye-popping speed.

Zorro’s facial recognition fra flickered violently on the auxiliary screen, and the stress sensor at the elbow joint of his protective suit had already burst with a bright red overload warning.

It felt as if an invisible hand was trying to crush his arm bones through five layers of composite fiber.

“Boss, sothing’s wrong, the spatial readings here are all ssed up.” An alard voice sounded in the channel.

Zorro’s face changed dramatically, but before he could react, the cyan blue fractured light shaft area in front of him suddenly contracted, and a streak of pale blue light shot upward from the underground.

Before he had ti to react, it suddenly shot directly through the protective suit.

“What the hell?” Zorro was even more baffled, instinctively touching the spot where he’d just been pierced.

However, nothing happened there, and his life signs remained unchanged.

“What just happened?”

The recent upheaval ended within minutes, leaving Zorro confused but quickly checking for casualties, discovering there were none.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, he cursed, “A bunch of idiots, even manage to drill off course.”

A mont later, the personnel were nearly replenished, and the mining machine was adjusted.

They were ready to continue drilling downward, but then he heard the voice he least wanted to hear in the channel.

“Boss, there’s a problem…” The voice swallowed nervously.

“…The Black Gold Liquid Oil below is only half a cubic left…”

“Half a cubic?” Zorro’s expression was dazed, yet before he could erupt in rage.

He suddenly looked up when a hurried voice ca through the channel.

“Boss, soone’s breaking through the Dinsion Space, they’ve… they’ve already…”

“Arrived!” Zorro’s face turned grave.

Above the Heavenly Vault, ships of sophisticated warship models suddenly traversed, each highly advanced.

The dark-gray armor surface flowed with sothing akin to blood vessel blue energy patterns.

He instinctively reached for his waist Shock Blade, finding his shadow convulsing wildly on the ground, a mysterious force field expanding.

At the sa ti, their channel had been forcibly commandeered, and a cold voice relayed: “Scavengers below, this is the Empire Fleet, you are now ordered to cease any resistance and await our takeover of the site.”

“Em… Empire’s people?” Soone’s legs gave out, collapsing to the ground.

Zorro took a deep breath, recalling the recent upheaval, his face changing as his mind raced, “It certainly wasn’t a coincidence, but that thing has already entered my body…”

“If it falls into the Empire’s hands, it’ll be over for .”

The Empire’s reputation wasn’t good, and Zorro had dealt with them before, their arrogance and contempt were their biggest labels.

His eyes narrowed, seemingly making a decision.

Slowly exhaling, he suddenly raised his hands and yelled, “We surrender, dear Empire bosses, please do not take action…”

…

“Eternal Silence Star…” Li Ming returned to his room, still pondering the issue.

This thing strongly enhances the Empire, particularly benefiting that old geezer Adam.

Although nothing had happened recently, he hadn’t forgotten Adam’s malicious intentions.

He certainly wouldn’t sit by and watch the other side succeed.

Knowing the coordinates, at the crucial mont, he could threaten Chrono to go and help.

“However, Chrono is only one ans, and not very controllable. The best way is to personally make the trip…” Li Ming pondered.

Yet, only one of him or Chrono could exist.

If he went to the Deep Dinsion World, he must exhaust Chrono.

Although he possessed various comprehensive abilities now, in the Deep Dinsion World, he estimated Chrono would be more useful.

“Let’s see if this guy is sensible or not first.” Li Ming mused, not in a rush to set off.

The key reason also being, he needed to accumulate a significant amount of tal energy to achieve peak combat power.

Various thoughts interweaving, he began to skillfully develop Genetic Seeds.

Blackbeard’s “good news” arrived far more distantly than he had anticipated, and two months passed swiftly without a sound from the Deep Dinsion World.

That Eternal Silence Star seed to be playing hide-and-seek with them, always a near miss, impossible to find.

This made Li Ming grateful he hadn’t ventured recently, or it would only have been a waste of ti.

Compared to the motionless Deep Dinsion World, the chanical Court did experience so changes.

The third stage of the Rebirth Project had been completed, and the remaining eight artificial planets were now fully constructed, with handover set for today.
