Colonial Suit

The hovercar sped through the space station, disregarding all traffic regulations. But even this couldn't alleviate Blood瞳's anxiety. How many times had he wanted to just fly, but considering the impact, he suppressed the urge. Jack seemed to sense Blood瞳's anxiety as well, and didn't say a word the entire way. He just focused on accelerating, and accelerating again.

The crazed hovercar was like an enraged rhinoceros, reaching the space station's medical facility in just five minutes. Blood瞳 jumped out of the car and rushed through the front door without a word.

This place was called Bakka. It was U9's best medical institution. Naturally, there were security guards at the entrance. Seeing Blood瞳's aggressive appearance, they moved to block him.

"Wait… Sir!"

"Get lost!" Blood瞳 waved his hand without even looking. The two security guards flew out like sacks, traveling over a hundred meters before landing in the plaza in front of the door. Upon landing, they rolled a few times, then stood up, revealing surprised expressions.

They weren't injured?

At this moment, Jack hurriedly ran up to the two security guards. "I apologize, my lord's companion is being treated, my lord is just a little…"

"Ah, we understand." The security guard's expression changed. In the U9 space station, only the cosmic mercenaries were called lords. How could he dare to cause trouble? Moreover, Jack was a smooth talker, and slipped them two star coins during the exchange. The two security guards immediately turned their anger into joy.

Only then did Jack turn around and chase after Blood瞳, rushing through Bakka's front door.

And at this moment, Blood瞳 had already arrived at Robbie's room…

As soon as he entered, he saw Robbie lying in a sealed treatment pod. His entire body was connected to a dense network of tubes. Blue nutrient fluid rippled in the treatment pod, making his face blurry. But what could be seen was that Robbie's eyes were closed, and his expression was pained.

Separated by the treatment pod, Blood瞳 looked at his former comrade. His movements instantly became gentle. "Robbie…"

"Sir… You!?" There were several people who looked like physicians in the room, and they couldn't help but scold him when they saw Blood瞳 suddenly barge in.

But Blood瞳 didn't even glance at them, only staring at Robbie in the treatment pod. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "My name is Blood瞳, I'm Robbie's comrade."

"Blood… Lord Blood瞳!!"

The physicians cried out in alarm, almost collapsing to the ground.

During the T6 war, the cosmic mercenaries were almost always suppressed in the early stages. It was this man who single-handedly charged into the T6 space station, engaging in an extremely brutal ambush with the space pirates. He killed hundreds of space pirates on his own, most of whom were his peers! He instantly caused the space pirates to lose face.

But that wasn't the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing was that this man actually fought against Comet-class space pirate Lord Lobisk. Although he was defeated in the end, he forced Lobisk to use a destructive technique, directly causing the destruction of the T6 space station!

God, that was a Comet-class…

Don't forget, Blood瞳 was only a trainee-level in the mercenary records at the time. Although it was later confirmed that he had the combat power of a Meteor-class, it was still too outrageous. This directly made him the most dazzling rising star in the T6 war.

Who in the T6 starfield didn't know Blood瞳's name? Those below the trainee-level regarded him as an idol. Countless people wished they could become a warrior like him. How could these physicians not be shocked?

However, wasn't it said that he was missing? How could he appear here?

The physicians couldn't figure it out. But they still bowed and saluted quickly. They respectfully said to Blood瞳, "Welcome back, Lord."

"Don't be polite." Blood瞳 waved his hand and replied with a calm expression. "Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"This is what we should do." The physicians said hastily, afraid of leaving a bad impression on Blood瞳.

But Blood瞳 didn't care about their thoughts, only focusing on Robbie in the treatment pod. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "How is the situation?"

"Everything… everything is normal." One of the physicians seemed not to know how to start, and replied awkwardly. "Lord Robbie's body data… is all normal. We… we can't find the cause of his coma."

"What about when he was first brought here?"

"When he was first brought here, Lord Robbie's body seemed to have suffered severe trauma, and some organs were failing," the physician explained. "We used a level two treatment program to repair his body. But the problem is that his mind also has problems. We haven't found the root cause yet. So we guessed…"

"Guessed what?" Blood瞳 turned his head and looked at the physician, asking calmly.

"Guessed…" The physician stole a glance at Blood瞳's expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "Guessed that Lord Robbie's mind was also severely damaged, and it's very likely… he will become a vegetable."

"A vegetable!?" Blood瞳 frowned. His tone became a little gloomy. An indescribable aura burst forth, pressing down on the physicians until their faces were pale and they were about to faint.

Blood瞳 himself reacted and hurriedly suppressed the rage in his heart. He said to them, "Thank you. Now, all of you go out. I want to be alone with him for a while."

"Yes, yes. Lord." The physicians hurriedly agreed, and then ran out in a panic.

Blood瞳's aura was too powerful, even an inadvertent reveal was enough to make their minds crack. If they continued to stay here, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't be scared to death.

The room instantly became quiet, with only the beeping of the treatment pod's instruments from time to time. Tubes were sending life-sustaining drugs into Robbie's body. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Blood瞳 slowly walked to the front of the treatment pod and placed his hands on the transparent outer shell.

"Robbie…" Looking at Robbie up close, a flash of light appeared in Blood瞳's eyes. "You'll be fine. I swear."

Saying that, he reached his fingers into his chest. When he took them out again, there was a small piece of flesh.

A colony of the symbiote…

To be honest, Blood瞳 didn't want to implant a symbiote colony into Robbie. Because he didn't know what side effects it might have. Robbie was the first friend Blood瞳 made on his path as a mercenary. Blood瞳 didn't want him to have any burden.

But it had to be admitted that the symbiote colony was a miracle in terms of repairing the body. It could repair any serious damage. It was much stronger than the current treatment pod. Blood瞳 estimated that only medical equipment above the Fourth World could compare to the symbiote colony.

With a "click", the transparent outer shell of the treatment pod was opened by Blood瞳, and a large amount of white gas was released. The nutrient fluid was drained, revealing Robbie's painful face.

Immediately after, Blood瞳 placed the symbiote colony on Robbie's chest. As long as he pressed it gently, the symbiote colony would enter Robbie's body from then on, and accompany him for life.

But just as he was about to press down, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. "The host's actions will not have a beneficial effect on the target."

"Core?" Blood瞳 was stunned, not knowing why the core would suddenly remind him. This was rare in the past. The core usually only reacted to actions that affected Blood瞳's body.

But Blood瞳 couldn't care about so much, he only cared about the core's words.

What did it mean that it would not have a beneficial effect? Could it be that Robbie's condition was so serious that the symbiote colony couldn't take effect?

"The target's mind has suffered serious damage. The symbiote colony cannot repair this part of the damage." The core's answer was simple and direct. It never beat around the bush. "It is recommended that the host use mental contact."

Mental contact?

Blood瞳 was slightly stunned. Then his expression changed.

Although with his current thought strength, invading another's mind was not impossible. But once this method was used, it meant that the other person would no longer have any privacy from him. Unless absolutely necessary, Blood瞳 never wanted to use this method on Robbie.

"So that's how it is…" In the silent room, Blood瞳 took a deep breath. "I understand."

In the next moment, he took back the symbiote colony and slowly released his thoughts.

Unlike before, this time he released them carefully, as if he was protecting a fragile piece of porcelain. Little by little, he extended the tendrils of his thoughts towards Robbie's head. A few seconds later, Blood瞳 felt a roar in his ears. Everything in front of him changed.

Everything in reality disappeared before his eyes, and he appeared in an unfamiliar place.

This was a vast and boundless cloud layer. There was no land, no living things. The only thing it possessed was light.

This was a world of light, an ocean of light.

Soft white light rippled on the clouds, forming layers of light mist like thin gauze. As far as the eye could see, he couldn't see anything clearly. The only thing he could feel was light.

Warm light, bright light, soft light, kind light.

Blood瞳 didn't know how he could distinguish so many kinds of light, but he just knew. Walking in the ocean of light, he only felt warm all over. Any fatigue, any confusion, disappeared in an instant. It was as if he had come to paradise in an instant.

And in the boundless light, he vaguely heard magnificent songs coming from above.

That was… sacred singing.

"Sing praises to our Lord, all the glory is dedicated to you! You are the Lord of the sky, the Lord of the earth! The controller and giver of life! All beings are equal before you, your love and generosity will surely spread throughout the world. Thank you for giving us peace."

"Praise our Lord, all the glory is dedicated to you! You are the Lord of justice, the Lord of righteousness! The protector and promoter of life! Evil cannot hide before you, your holiness is supreme, thank you for giving us justice."

"That's… a hymn!?"

Blood瞳 was stunned, and then knew that this was Robbie's spiritual world. His most precious spiritual home.

So, where was Robbie?

Blood瞳 immediately looked around, but all he could see was light, so where could he see Robbie's figure?

"Get out of my way!" Under anxiety, Blood瞳 could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and let out a low roar. As his voice sounded, a terrifying thought wave immediately spread out, sweeping away the light mist surrounding him.

In the next moment, he saw a scene that he never dreamed of.

He saw a mountain peak appear under his feet, and Robbie was carrying a huge coffin on his back, climbing bit by bit. His limbs were all shackled with heavy shackles, worn out and bloody. Even pale bones and tendons were exposed. But that wasn't the worst. The worst thing was that even with such hard climbing, from time to time rocks would fall from above, smashing Robbie down. Making Robbie's previous climbs meaningless.

"This is… Robbie!?"

In an instant, Blood瞳 couldn't believe his eyes.
