Colonial Suit

An hour passed quickly, and Blood瞳 finally lowered his hands.

His eyes were closed, and his body trembled slightly. A large number of light spots, like fireflies, poured into his body. Finally, as the light dissipated, he returned to his original state.

"How is it?" Robbie asked.

"The energy has been replenished by half," Blood瞳 replied, a flash of flames and lightning deep in his pupils as he opened his eyes. Then, little by little, it calmed down. "The Boca Clan's light energy is very troublesome. My analysis of it is not high, so the absorption rate is very poor."

He raised his left hand and showed Robbie the Boca runes that had appeared on it.

"Even so, I was still invaded by side effects. I estimate it will take a lot of time to eliminate them."

"Then why are you still absorbing them?" Robbie complained. "If you need energy, I have some energy blocks here."

"Not enough, too little," Blood瞳 shook his head. "The amount of energy I need this time is enormous, probably at least equivalent to the total output of a standard star. The energy blocks we carry are far from enough, unless I can find a better energy source. Otherwise, the Boca Clan's light energy is my only option."

Blood瞳 looked at his hands, then smiled coldly. "Fortunately, my body can still handle it."

"Speaking of your body, what happened in the database just now? Why didn't you let us share that pressure?" Robbie asked.

"It was a breakthrough," Blood瞳 replied, not hiding anything. "I wanted to use that pressure to make a breakthrough, so you couldn't interfere."

"But it was too dangerous."

"Without pressure, how can there be gain?" Blood瞳 raised his head, calmly gazing at the starry sky. After a while, he asked, "How is the data analysis going?"

"쥴스 has almost finished. Do you want to see it now?" Robbie replied. "I glanced at it just now, and the records inside are amazing… I don't think you'll like it."

"The Boca Clan are survivors of the Great Chaos Era. Their records will naturally have many dark aspects, but whether I like it or not… it is the history of the universe," Blood瞳 said, turning to walk towards his companions. "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I've already prepared for the Krodir matter. There won't be any pressure."

"As for now, there's no rush to see it. We need to prepare to welcome a guest."

"Guest?" Robbie asked, puzzled. Then he felt the distant starry sky crack open. A high-speed spacecraft jumped out.

It was very far away, but its speed was extremely fast. In a short while, it flew over Blood瞳 and his companions. Then, a woman in golden armor jumped down.

She had long, light purple hair and a white cloak draped over her back, like a lily blooming in the wind. But her expression was as cold as ice. As soon as she landed, she raised her chin and asked proudly.

"Who is Blood瞳?"

"…" Robbie frowned. "Who are you?"

"I am Maggie, a guard officer under His Highness 邪," the woman replied. "Don't delay. The First Prince has a message to convey. Who is Blood瞳?"

"I am," Blood瞳 said, separating from his companions and walking over. He looked calmly at the purple-haired woman. "What is it?"

"It concerns your next mission, but before that, I want to ask. Where is 쥴스, the commander of the Third Legion who was with you and leading this mission? And the accompanying warships and members?"

"They're all dead," Blood瞳 replied coldly, then frowned slightly. "Didn't you receive their information?"

"The Throne of Dawn has high-intensity interference, and long-distance communication is impossible," Maggie explained Blood瞳's doubts. But her attitude was very stiff, and her eyes revealed undisguised contempt for Blood瞳. "The death of the Third Legion Commander indicates that the mission encountered great resistance. Since everyone is dead, why are you still alive? Is the mission still continuing?"

Her voice was as cold as stone, and she felt nothing for her fallen comrades, as if they were just numbers that had disappeared. On the contrary, she attached great importance to the mission. This cold and ruthless feeling was like a machine, causing Robbie to look at her with a different light. However, since she represented the First Prince, and Blood瞳 didn't want to fall out with her at the moment, a proper report was necessary.

So Blood瞳 briefly recounted the process, concealing the part where he stole the data, and finally said.

"At that time, the pressure was very dangerous. We were all knocked unconscious. When we woke up, we found that the database was gone. The mission could not continue."

"Pressure?"

Hearing Blood瞳's description of the terrifying pressure and the voice that resounded through the void, the expression on Maggie's face finally loosened, and she exclaimed in shock. "Could it be them…"

"Them?" Blood瞳 keenly noticed the plural pronoun in her words.

"No, you don't need to know," Maggie immediately realized her slip of the tongue and immediately returned to her cold demeanor. "Since you lost the location of the database, this mission will be regarded as a failure. The agreed-upon reward will not be paid. If you have any questions, you can appeal to His Highness 邪."

"Hmm?" Blood瞳's brows furrowed.

Considered a failure?

This was obviously intentional… You should know that their mission was to capture the Light Energy Database, and its main significance was to gradually deprive the Empress Party of control over the Light Energy Network. Although they failed to occupy it, wasn't destroying it the same? This girl's decisive judgment clearly meant that she didn't intend to acknowledge it!

The Gemini siblings were immediately displeased. Little 波西 stepped forward and opened his fingers, a flash of silver light at his fingertips.

"Hey, Ice Face, do you want to die? If you want to die, I…"

"Enough," a voice stopped Little 波西's actions. Unexpectedly, it was Blood瞳.

He held his right hand between Maggie and Little 波西, his eyes flashing with a strange cold light. After a while, he said, "Guard Officer, whether this mission is completed or not is up to the First Prince to judge. You have no right to define it. Also, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."

"…" Maggie was silent for a long time, looking at the equally assertive Blood瞳, her face as gloomy as if it could drip water.

After a long time, she snorted coldly from her nose.

"Hmph, lowly ants."

"If you still want the reward, go and complete the second mission. His Highness the First Prince is currently attacking the throne and needs some manpower to clear out the rabble. Be grateful… you are lucky to have this opportunity."

With that, Maggie threw a golden mark to Blood瞳, turned around, and flew into the sky.

Watching her cold and arrogant back, Little 波西 was furious. He struggled desperately in 米雅's arms. "Let go of my sister, I'm going to kill her! This Ice Face, rotten maggot, frozen potato! Look at the attitude she uses to talk to Brother Blood瞳, and be grateful… looking like she's about to die, what's she so proud of… does she think she's an eggplant?"

"Don't move, little brother. Brother Blood瞳 will naturally decide this," 米雅 held Little 波西 tightly, turning her gaze to Blood瞳.

"What do you say? Brother Blood瞳?"

Looking at 米雅's clear gaze, Blood瞳 lowered his head and thought for a while. His face became even colder. Finally, he turned his head and met Robbie's gaze.

"It seems that 邪 is going to attack us."
