Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 398 Instant Kill, Scarlet

Chen Ming had no way to go to his planet Gaia to provide support as soon as the brainwashed psychic showed signs of leaving.

Because he knew that the brainwashed psychic's departure was most likely just a disguise, and he would keep an eye on him, looking for flaws.

He had to deal with the Crimson Eye first, then he could repair the spatial rift and deal with things on the planet Gaia in a way that would be sufficient to deal with any subsequent actions that the brainwashed psyker might take.

Chen Ming has already prepared means to resolve the Scarlet Purpose, and he believes that he can resolve it as quickly as possible.

After the brainwashed psychic completely disappeared from Chen Ming's eyes with the existence of the Scarlet Brain, and disappeared into the depths of the Scarlet Dimension.

Chen Ming was once again met with those scarlet eyes.

As soon as the Scarlet Eye discovered Chen Ming and the space rift behind Chen Ming, it repeated its previous actions and tried to seal the rift again.

However, this time Chen Ming was prepared and interrupted the Scarlet Eyes' attempt to completely block the space gap, and quickly passed through the space crack.

There was no strong obstruction along the way.

However, when he turned around and tried to repair the space crack behind him, he found that the effect of his spiritual energy after spreading to the crack was extremely insignificant.

An unknown force originating from the depths of the Scarlet, not the Scarlet's purpose, is affecting him and preventing him from repairing the rift quickly.

The brainwashed psychic had indeed not gone far. He was still nearby, delaying Chen Ming's actions.

And the Scarlet Eye didn't just watch. After Chen Ming passed through the scarlet rift leading to the phase, it pounced on him like a mad dog and pounced on the gap.

Its spiritual energy and body are also blocking the gap in the space rift, making it more difficult for Chen Ming to forcibly repair the gap.

If it was just a single brainwashed psychic or Scarlet Eye, Chen Ming would have no problem dealing with him one-on-one. Repairing the space rift would only be a little more troublesome.

Even if this doesn't solve the problem of Scarlet Purpose, his goal can be achieved.

Because at the moment, apart from him, the only person in the entire Empire, Scarlet and Phase who has the ability to locate a specific area in the normal universe in the Scarlet Dimension is the brainwashed psyker.

The Scarlet Eye, as a native creature of the Scarlet Dimension, definitely does not have it. Otherwise, it would not have tracked Chen Ming only when he entered the Scarlet Dimension to seize the Scarlet Power, nor would it have actively participated in this battle until Chen Ming was forced to tear open the space rift today.

Therefore, as long as the space rift is repaired, Scarlet will not be able to continue invading in a short period of time, and he will have time to deal with the problems on his own territory.

But the current situation is that Chen Ming is unable to withstand the combined efforts of the two to repair the space rift, and it is indeed difficult for him to solve all these problems in a short period of time.

Unless he gives up repairing this space rift and allows the Scarlet Eye to enter the phase space.

Chen Ming even considered whether this was feasible.

Because if only the Scarlet Eyes entered the phase space, then Chen Ming could completely ignore it for the time being and deal with other things.

The destructive power of the Scarlet Eyes in phase space is definitely not enough.

The phase space has a certain suppression on Scarlet itself.

But when the brainwashed psychic followed behind him, Chen Ming didn't dare to gamble anymore.

God knows whether a brainwashed psychic will suddenly appear and try to tear open a space gap to the normal universe, or attract more scarlet creatures to come here and destroy the phase space.

So he had to deal with the trouble first.

This is also the reason why the brainwashed psychic voluntarily withdrew but could still put pressure on Chen Ming.

Chen Ming didn't have much choice.

But he can do what is best for himself among the few options he has.

Chen Ming's psychic power suddenly acted in the opposite direction on the spatial rift between Phase and Scarlet.

The scarlet power is preventing Chen Ming's psychic power from repairing the crack, but this power cannot stop Chen Ming from suddenly changing the nature of the power and instead tearing the crack even bigger.

The crack that originally stuck the Scarlet Eye was torn into a larger gap under the influence of Chen Ming's spiritual power.

The Scarlet Eyes then took advantage of the situation and entered the phase.

At this moment, the scarlet eyes that were originally staring at Chen Ming with great madness seemed to calm down instantly.

It seemed to realize something, and turned around like a lost dog and rushed towards the crack behind it.

The reason for this sudden change is that it lost the power support from the Scarlet Dimension.

Although a large amount of scarlet matter is still pouring into the phase space from the crack behind it, the amount of this scarlet matter is nothing compared to the interior of the scarlet dimension.

On the contrary, Chen Ming, whom he had been chasing, finally came to a place where he could release his own power at ease.
Chen Ming no longer has to make any reservations.

The mental power of countless conscious beings existing in his honeycomb network allowed his mental power, which was already nearly exhausted, to recover at a rapid rate.

And all the mental power that was being recovered was directly converted by Chen Ming into phase power specifically used to target Scarlet.

The pure black biological armor on Chen Ming, who was suspended in the phase space, had been dyed a dark blue-purple color by this force.

Just like the patterns on the phase beasts that represent their power, they appeared on Chen Ming's body.

Chen Ming's figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Scarlet Eyes.

The blue-purple light patterns on the outside of his armor suddenly lit up, and all the strength seemed to be gathered in his right arm.

Chen Ming swung his fist and punched it into the scarlet eyes.

Chen Ming had previously tried to hedge against the Scarlet Eyes' psychic attack, but it didn't work. The Scarlet Eyes' main attack method was to rely on psychic energy to hedge.

In that case, why not try using physical attacks to deliver all the psychic energy face to face as output?

All the blue and purple spiritual energy fluctuations were blasted into Chen Ming's eyeballs by his punch.

At this moment, every part of Scarlet Eye's eyeball swelled violently as if something was struggling inside.

The swelling, which was physically uncomfortable to watch, lasted for three seconds before it ended.

The entire eyeball of the Scarlet Eye was completely shattered and exploded.

A large amount of blood, flesh and liquid inside the eyeball exploded, dyeing Chen Ming blood red.

It only took one punch to kill Scarlet Eyes completely, without any room for struggle.

It didn't even have time to turn around and return to the edge of the Scarlet Dimension rift, and only its broken corpse was left floating in the Scarlet Dimension.

Chen Ming did not waste any time. He quickly controlled his spiritual energy to collect all the Scarlet Purpose substances and isolated and stored them with Silent Alloy.

But a part of it still fell into the space rift and into the scarlet dimension, and cannot be found.

Chen Ming decided to ignore it without giving it much thought.

He wasn't going to waste time on this sort of thing.

After he dealt with the body of Scarlet Eye, he immediately activated his spiritual energy again and acted on the space rift, trying to repair it.

The brainwashed psychic who was just at the edge of the rift is no longer an obstacle. It seems that he realized the situation was not right and ran away.

That would be best.

Otherwise, Chen Ming even suspected that he might not be able to resist punching the brainwashed psychic.

And at this time in the scarlet dimension.

The brainwashed psychic did not really run away, he was still observing quietly.

However, the punch Chen Ming threw after entering the phase's home court put a lot of pressure on him.

Originally, he thought that Scarlet Eyes could fight with Chen Ming for a while, but he never expected that Chen Ming could kill Scarlet Eyes with just one punch.

In the end, this eyeball delayed Chen Ming for less than two minutes.

This made him even more convinced that a head-on conflict with Chen Ming was definitely not a wise move.

He must use different designs to deprive Chen Ming of the home advantage, use indirect means to weaken Chen Ming's combat effectiveness, and finally break out a head-on conflict.

Anyway.

After all, the Scarlet Eyes delayed Chen Ming for more than a minute.

Every moment of delay in the vibrant world of Gaia will cause countless lives to be corrupted by the scarlet.

The brainwashed psyker had no idea how much trouble the Scarlets that had escaped his control had caused at this time.

He took one last look at Chen Ming who was sealing the gap in space, and then disappeared in the scarlet.

Chen Ming was not aware of the existence of the brainwashed psychic deep in the scarlet dimension.

His attention was entirely on the space rift itself and the territory that belonged to him.

The moment he closed the gap, he activated the psychic power he had prepared for a long time and teleported to the Origin Galaxy.

In the phase space of the Origin System.

Chen Ming could clearly see the status of the satellite floating above Gaia's orbit.

Under the dual influence of the black hole state caused by negative matter and the reactivation of negative matter caused by the emergence of scarlet matter, the satellite is now close to complete collapse.

The four continental plates on the planet have been completely shattered like cookies dropped on the ground.

The originally blue-green planet is now dominated by scarlet, ochre and gray.

The entire planet is in ruins.

If Chen Ming had not pushed the Scarlet Eye into the Scarlet Dimension, he would have followed in, and the space rift would have been repaired.

I'm afraid what it will see at this time will be a black hole or a red hole.

Fortunately, the worst thing did not happen, and the Scarlet on the satellite also had phase space suppression.

After all the substances released by the scarlet dimension were consumed, it was no longer able to expand further.

There is still life on the planet that has not been infected by the scarlet and destroyed by negative matter, but it will definitely be an extremely difficult road to restore the past.

Chen Ming took a look at the satellite and without much hesitation lifted his blockade of the planets and space in the Origin Galaxy.

And announced that the crisis of Siwon Information has temporarily ended.

But he still blocked the wormhole space station.

Because there is still trouble waiting for him in the Gaia galaxy behind the wormhole space station.

Chen Ming stayed in the Origin Galaxy for less than two seconds. After doing everything he should do as quickly as possible, he quickly headed to the planet Gaia, which was still blocked.

In fact, he had already sensed the scarlet bloody smell when he had just left Scarlet and had a brief battle with Scarlet Eyes.

He didn't know what had happened there during the time he was away.

But he knew that would never be a good thing.

On the orbiting space station on the planet Gaia.

Before Chen Ming used liquid metal to form a sky curtain to protect the planet.

Everything is still normal here.

As one of the few people who can travel to Gaia and has a very high level of authority, Tian Zhan is in his office processing the climate transformation documents for Gaia over the past week, as well as a research report on the compatibility relationship between the life seeder and Gaia plants.

Just then, someone came in with a paper document and said, "Old Tian, ​​today's report is here too."

"Old Yao, just send this stuff to me directly. There's no need to come here in person."

Lao Yao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, no trouble."

Tian Zhan accepted the document and said, "You've been here for several days. What are you doing?"

"Hey……"

Old Yao laughed dryly and said without hiding anything: "The director asked me to come here to keep an eye on you so that you don't get tired to death."

"You look pretty good now, at least better than before. I think you should listen to the director more. If you're really sick from overworking, you should rest longer."

Tian Zhan picked up a small mirror on the table that he had recently bought and looked at himself in the mirror.

It is true that he is in a good mental state now, but he doesn't want to say much.

He's just doing his best.

Seeing that Tian Zhan didn't want to talk much, Lao Yao didn't dwell on the matter and asked, "Would you like to have lunch?"

Tian Zhan glanced at the time.

"eat."

As he spoke, he put down the documents, stood up and prepared to go to the space station cafeteria with Lao Yao to check out today's meals. If they didn't like them, they could go to the wormhole space station to eat.

But at this moment, an alarm sounded on the space station.

This is the moment when the brainwashed psychic puts two choices before Chen Ming.

Chen Ming did not make a choice immediately. Instead, he prioritized blocking all planetary space stations and sent an emergency evacuation notice to everyone's terminal.

At the earliest stage, Chen Ming set up emergency shelters of different sizes inside every space station or planetary colony.

Most people who come here know that they may encounter danger before they come.

Although there are star gates in the Origin System, the planet is located far outside the empire, so dangerous situations are bound to occur.

What's more, most of the researchers who come here are studying things that are extremely dangerous in themselves.

Therefore, many people have basically learned about the situation of the shelter facilities when they came.

Even if some people didn't know, Chen Ming also attached a map of the nearest refuge area shelter on the terminal sent to each person, and even an afterglow core installed in the colony or space station for separate guidance.

At this time, Tian Zhan and Lao Yao beside him also received the notification from Chen Ming.

Lao Yao looked at the content of the notice and said, "It looks like something went wrong. I don't know if Leviathan is coming. It's hard to say. Let's go first."

"Um……"

Tian Zhan responded vaguely, but did not move his feet. Instead, he stared out the window of his office.

His office is located in a relatively central area of ​​the ring-shaped space station, but he can still see the cosmic environment outside the window and the planet Gaia that the space station orbits through the height difference of the space station structure.

Tian Zhan did not respond when Lao Yao was talking, but kept staring at the planet Gaia in the distance.

However, he did not look for too long, because the metal skylight constructed by Chen Ming's spiritual power had already protected the space station.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Old Yao reached out and patted Tian Zhan on the shoulder and asked, "What did you see?"

Tian Zhan closed his eyes hard and rubbed them, then opened his eyes, turned around, shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's go to the shelter."

The two left the office.

It can be seen that everyone in the work area outside has received the message to evacuate and is heading to a corner of the space station in an orderly manner.

The design of the refuge area in a space station is different from that of the refuge areas in colonies on planets.

The main means of refuge in the space station is still the escape capsule.

All personnel will be temporarily gathered in the area near the escape pod and enter the escape pod in the order in which they arrive at this area.

If there is a problem with the space station, the escape pods will be released simultaneously.

If everything is ok, everyone can climb out of the escape pod.

At this time, many people were already queuing up in front.

However, the number of people in the space station above Gaia is not that large compared to the other side. It will be Tian Zhan and Lao Yao's turn in about a minute.

However, when Tian Zhan looked at the rows of escape pods in front of him, he suddenly didn't want to go in.

He suddenly felt extremely anxious, as if something bad could happen at any time, but he tried to recall and think about it, but he could not remember or imagine what kind of thing would make him feel this way.

He had no idea why he felt this way.

This feeling made him not want to do anything according to the rules, even though he knew that entering the escape pod was the safest option.

He didn't know whether it was because of the escape pod that made him anxious, or for some other reason.

He just felt that his mental state was not right.

Very panicked, anxious and uncomfortable.

The pressure in his heart was oppressing his soul all the time.

His condition, which had almost recovered, seemed to be changing back to its previous state.

Tian Zhan, who was standing behind, felt something was wrong.

But Lao Yao in the front didn't notice what was happening at all.

When it was finally his turn in the line, he turned around and was about to say something to Tian Zhan.

But he found that Tian Zhan was no longer behind him.

At this time, Tian Zhan had already bypassed the crowd, left the refuge area, and headed for the port of the space station.

He didn't know why he was doing this, but something in his heart told him that he had to do it.

"The escape capsule is safer than the spacecraft when the space station encounters danger. Please turn back and head to the refuge area of ​​the space station."

Tian Zhan ignored the warning from the afterglow core of the space station and continued to run towards the port.

And without Chen Ming's order, Yuhui Core could not forcibly restrict his behavior.

Tian Zhan boarded a shuttle and flew directly away from the port.

As soon as he flew out, he saw the cold metal sky that protected the space station blocking his shuttle.

Tian Zhan immediately took out the terminal and wanted to contact Chen Ming, but Chen Ming, who had already completely entered the scarlet dimension, could not receive any message from Tian Zhan.

Tian Zhan was unable to recover for a long time and could only continue to control the spacecraft to approach the sky curtain. Until the spacecraft almost hit the metal sky curtain, the sky curtain still did not react at all, and there was no response from Chen Ming either.

Even though the front end of his shuttle was pressing against the sky and accelerating, it did not cause the sky to change at all.

Tian Zhan was even more anxious.

He could hardly bear the feeling in his heart any longer.

The maddening feeling made him, who was originally gentle and polite, suddenly become very angry and punched the control console of the spacecraft.

After a flurry of effort, the shaking spacecraft was stabilized.

Tian Zhan forced himself to ignore the feeling in his heart and thought about what he should do.

Suddenly, he remembered a key "person".

"Superb! Are you there? Superb!"

After Tian Zhan shouted several times.

The shuttle's control system suddenly and automatically switched to voice output.

The Alpha-class afterglow core "Transcendent" was connected to the shuttle's control system.

Chaofan was placed by Chen Ming in the Gaia galaxy, and on the planet Gaia.

The reason why it is not the Origin System is because Supernatural has a unique interest in Gaia.

Ever since Chen Ming studied biological technology specifically in order to get his hands on Zerg-related technology and asked Chaofan to learn it as well, Chaofan was no longer just interested in the research of various afterglow ships.

So since Chen Ming started building the base, Chaofan was installed here.

To put it in extraordinary terms, after it was installed on the planet Gaia, it also felt the comfort of the planet Gaia.

After that, it had many exchanges with Tian Zhan, who specialized in studying Gaia.

Both Yuhui and the human were aware of the relationship between the other and Chen Ming.

So after thinking about this, Tian Zhan tried to call it, and it really elicited a supernatural response: "What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. I feel like I need to go to your side, to Gaia, and help me open the passage."

But Chaofan's answer made him extremely disappointed: "I have temporarily lost contact with the director, and I can't contact him."

"How could this happen? There's no way to communicate with psychic energy..."

"Yes."

This restriction firmly trapped Tian Zhan within the skylight that was used to protect him and others, and his expression became somewhat distorted due to the anxiety in his heart.

At the same time this happened, the brainwashed psychic in the Scarlet Dimension also said in person that the planet Gaia had been infected by Scarlet.

Tian Zhan suddenly covered his chest with one hand and punched the porthole of the shuttle with the other hand.

Instead of breaking the high-strength glass of the porthole, he ended up with blood flowing from his own hands.

"No...I can't do this...I have to go down."

There seemed to be only anxiety in his eyes.

After a brief silence.

"let me try."

Chaofan's words fell.

The sky in front of Tian Zhan suddenly opened up a passage that was just big enough for his shuttle to pass through.

And in the distance, a tiny gap appeared on the sky surrounding the planet Gaia.

Tian Zhan heard Chaofan's intermittent voice: "Quick... overload... need... time... to recover..."

He immediately drove the shuttle at the fastest speed through the channel of the space station's sky, through the channel of the Gaia planet's sky, and entered the atmosphere.

At this moment, he also saw the crimson that was expanding wildly on the other side of the Gaia planet opposite the fairy tree.
