Colonial Suit

The man wasn't burly. From the back, he looked seven or eight parts similar to Blood瞳. He had short, black hair and wore a full set of armored combat gear, exuding immense power from the inside out. A large amount of black and red flames spread from his fluttering cloak, like a sea of fire.

In the image, he was standing on the summit of a mountain, overlooking a vast plain battlefield. The battlefield was covered with corpses, and blood flowed like a river. Countless warriors were fighting each other, creating soaring bursts of energy and flashes of light. From time to time, the remains of human bodies flew up, and from time to time, giant war machines exploded. But the man didn't even frown.

He was so indifferent, so cold. Even on this fiery battlefield, he seemed like someone from another world. Finally, perhaps weary of the long war, or perhaps the situation was unfavorable to the side he represented, he waved his hand, and countless meteors fell from the sky, bombarding the entire battlefield like a rainstorm.

There was no struggle, no screams. After the meteors, the entire battlefield became a dead zone. Only a hundred or so warriors remained, covered in wounds.

Their expressions were fanatical, and despite their injuries, they knelt towards the mountain peak as if facing a god, chanting words that Blood瞳 didn't understand.

On the mountain peak, the man didn't even bother to look at them. He simply disappeared into the void.

The image twisted for a moment, and the light screen then shut down.

Silence returned to the room.

But Blood瞳's heart was churning with stormy waves.

Because he was too familiar with this man. In his first encounter with Giant King Lyle, in his contact with Markratara, in the dream of the Elf girl, and even… in his own nightmares. Images of this man had appeared. He was so mysterious, so powerful, that even planetary-level beings could be ignored by him. He was so cold-blooded, so cruel. Every appearance was bound to stir up a bloody storm, as if he had walked out of hell.

In Blood瞳's mind, Leia was already considered an extremely strong warrior. But compared to this man, he was still far behind. Leia was like a sun, burning his life frantically, using his light and heat to support the war of Krodir. But this man was like a cold mist… mysterious and strange.

But none of these were the most important. The most important thing was… this man was extremely similar to Blood瞳. Not only in appearance, but also in temperament.

The room was as silent as death. After an unknown amount of time, Blood瞳 took a deep breath and asked, as if in a dream, “Where… did you find this image?”

“From the ruins we went to,” Hek answered readily. “It was a displaced plane of the Third World. We found its coordinates and code in the ruins of an uninhabited planet. Many other people went with us, but in the end, only I, Gaia, and two Demon Armor bastards came out alive.”

“How is that possible? You… are planetary-level,” Blood瞳 asked, his eyes wide with surprise, finding it hard to imagine what Hek had encountered.

But Hek shrugged nonchalantly. “What does planetary-level even mean? Can't we die? We've just walked further than you on the path of evolution. If we really encounter an irresistible force, we won't die a second later than you. This time we encountered such a situation. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong in advance, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape.”

Speaking of this, Hek sighed and poured himself another glass of wine. He didn't look at Blood瞳 again. “I know what you want to say. But this time, do you think it's a coincidence? This guy looks exactly like you in appearance and temperament. And most importantly… his eyes.”

“He has a pair of妖异 pupils, like flames from the underworld. If I remember correctly, your pupils also change color when you're angry, right? Your name… comes from this characteristic.”

“Now… are you still going to tell me that you have nothing to do with Krodir?”

“……” Blood瞳 fell silent. He didn't want to expose his identity like this, but he also didn't want to deceive Hek. He could only adopt this confrontational attitude. It was a pity that Hek wouldn't let him go this time. No matter how deep his relationship with Hek was, Hek wouldn't dare to take this secret involving a cosmic enemy lightly.

You had to know that this was Krodir, a name that still echoed throughout the universe even after countless years. The most powerful combat race, the gathering place of genius warriors. Their existence almost changed the entire universe.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy. Neither of them wanted to speak. Hek just kept drinking his wine in silence. Blood瞳's gaze was a little迷离. They seemed to be engaged in a contest of wills, seeing who would lose their nerve first.

After a long time, just as the shuttle was about to enter warp, Hek sighed and took the initiative to speak. “It seems you still don't want to tell me. Then let me tell you one more thing.”

“What is it?” Blood瞳 asked, his expression as cold as ever.

“This guy's identity.” Hek smiled slightly. He manipulated the smart device a few times and pulled up a long list of information. “This time our adventure wasn't successful, and we paid a great price. So after getting this image, I immediately analyzed and expanded it, hoping to get more information from it. You know this isn't easy. Krodir is too far away after all, and their history has been deliberately concealed by some people. So my progress is extremely slow. But fortunately, I still have a few friends who excel in data analysis and collection. After paying some price and time, they finally came to some results that interested me.”

As he spoke, Hek unfolded the information and said in a deep voice, “Pluto… Dirk. One of Krodir's strongest warriors, known as the Controller from Hell. His appearance is untraceable, but his first battle was during Krodir's Great Conquest Era, when he single-handedly broke through thirteen star regions. All enemy countries and armies were completely destroyed. It is said that the entire star region was dyed red with blood. Countless warships and civilizations were destroyed. This included twelve powerhouses who already possessed the qualifications of cosmic warriors. All of them were planetary-level!”

“After this, he continued to appear on Krodir's conquest battlefields, constantly helping Krodir expand its influence. He fought countless powerhouses and fought against the strongest civilizations in the universe at the time, without a single defeat. He was called the most terrifying man by the universe's civilizations at the time. His name was enough to shock half the universe.”

So strong!!

Blood瞳 was immediately startled. He never thought that this man would have such a brilliant battle record. He actually broke through thirteen star regions by himself and killed twelve planetary-level beings. Is this… is this something that a human can achieve?

This was simply an unimaginable existence!

But this wasn't the most shocking thing for Blood瞳. He was surprised by the man's ruthlessness. He could actually let blood dye the starry sky red. How many people did he have to kill in his conquests? Did this guy never have mercy and forgiveness in his heart? Only blood and slaughter?

What powerful strength, what a cruel heart!

For a time, Blood瞳 was completely shocked by the man's experience and couldn't speak for a long time. Looking at his expression, Hek smiled slightly and threw out another bombshell.

“Do you know? My dear little guy. This man's most glorious record is far more than that. In fact, he was the strongest man of that era, whether others admit it or not. Because he was the first warrior to kill a stellar-level being. In that battle, he almost destroyed the capital star of the strongest civilization in the universe at the time. He and his followers were once regarded as a disaster. Irresistible, unstoppable.”

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“Because he is Pluto, the controller of death and disaster!”

Kill a stellar-level!?

Blood瞳 immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Before this, he had never thought that a stellar-level being could be killed. God, that was a stellar-level being, an existence that had reached the pinnacle of evolution. How could they be defeated? Weren't they immortal?

“No one knows how Dirk did it, but there is no doubt that, according to the limited data analysis, he was indeed invincible at the time. Killing a stellar-level being was only a part of it.” Hek continued, “Time is too far away, and most of the information about him has been destroyed. So I can't get too much information either. The only clue is that this guy seems to be related to the Krodir royal family. Perhaps he was a humanoid weapon cultivated by Krodir at the time, condensing unimaginable combat power. If it wasn't for the fact that he had some emotional entanglements with a girl from a mysterious race in the end, I'm afraid his legend would have continued.”

“A girl from a mysterious race…” Blood瞳's eyes lit up. “Go on.”

“Hey, that won't do.” Hek suddenly smiled, seeing that Blood瞳 was interested. Instead, he stopped narrating.

He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, a smug look flashing in his eyes.

“I've revealed too much information to you. Blood瞳, now it's time for you to satisfy my curiosity. So tell me, kid, what is your relationship with Krodir, and… what… do you know about this civilization?”

“Let me say this first, I don't want to do anything to you. But you should be clear about how serious this matter is. If you refuse, then when you are exposed, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you.” Hek put down his wine glass, his face gradually becoming serious.

“Believe me. If there is still someone in this universe who is willing to help you, then that person can only be me.”

“I won't harm you, but you have to tell me everything.”

“……”

Blood瞳 fell silent, his face changing several times. He could feel Hek's sincerity in his words. But the problem was that this matter was too serious, so serious that Blood瞳 wasn't ready yet. He didn't know what would await him if his identity was revealed. He didn't know how to face his former friends.

Because in reality, in today's universe, Krodir… is the public enemy.

The room suddenly became silent, the atmosphere suffocatingly depressing. After an unknown amount of time, Blood瞳 suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely. “Okay!”

…
