Colonial Suit

Chapter 441: Calamity!

Time passed slowly, and Blood瞳 began to narrate.

During this process, he concealed information about Leia and some crucial details, including his experiences in the two Krodir ruins. However, he spoke candidly about other aspects. As he recounted his story, Heck's eyes widened in surprise, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Finally, after Blood瞳 finished speaking, Heck inquired,

"So, you possess Krodir's armament but are uncertain whether you have Krodir bloodline?"

"No proof," Blood瞳 replied.

"No… I don't see it that way," Heck pondered slowly, muttering to himself. "Your colony is the proof. You may not be fully aware, but as far as I know, enhanced cell proliferation armor… the colony you possess… was once exclusive to the Krodir. It's a terrifying armor with extreme aggression and dangerous properties. No one but a Krodir can control it."

"After the Great Chaos, advanced civilizations above the Third World tried to replicate this armament more than once. They collected a significant number of enhanced cells and attempted to cultivate and modify them through various means. Unfortunately, they all failed. The colonies they created were like bloodthirsty beasts, completely lacking self-control. Anyone implanted with them would dissolve instantly. To control these beasts, they had to reduce the efficacy of the enhanced cells. The final colonies they created were inferior to ordinary armor."

"Can you believe it? Could terrifying demons be controlled by mortals?" Heck sneered disdainfully. "Those guys were too optimistic and never considered… why Krodir remains the most feared civilization in the universe so many years after the Great Chaos. How could their exclusive armament be replicated by ordinary people?"

"Therefore, if you possess the colony, your identity is confirmed."

"…" Blood瞳 remained silent but inwardly agreed with Heck. In fact, Leia had already confirmed his identity. He concealed this to protect himself.

Before he could speak, Heck offered another clue. "And your eyes."

"My eyes?"

"More precisely, your pupils." Heck accessed his intelligent device, browsed for a moment, and pulled up a series of information. "Because of their unique bloodline, Krodir all possess blood-colored pupils. The color of their pupils changes according to their level of evolution. Initially, it's just imperceptible blood spots, gradually evolving into blood dots, blood mist, blood vortexes as their strength increases, eventually covering the entire pupil and then turning deep red… This change is irreversible, but only the best among the Krodir can conceal this trait, revealing it only when enraged."

"If I remember correctly, that's how your pupils are, right? Normal usually, but turning blood red when you're angry."

"…" Blood瞳 paused for a moment before honestly answering, "I thought it was a mutation from radiation exposure on X35."

"Mutation?" Heck scoffed, then continued, "There's more. Did you think the Krodir's blood-colored pupils were just for show? They are the source of their power. It's said that… every Krodir has a mysterious spiritual core. This core is completely different from the spiritual domain of ordinary warriors. It's exclusive to the Krodir. They call it the Blood Source and use the size of the Blood Source to determine a person's potential. The Blood Source of an average warrior is about the size of a fist, granting them strong combat intuition and a courageous fighting spirit. The best among them can expand it to the size of a pool, possessing unimaginable combat potential. The reason the Krodir were able to conquer such a vast expanse of space in the distant era of the Great Chaos was that their combat instincts far surpassed those of ordinary people. Ordinary warriors simply couldn't resist their frenzied attacks."

"Wh… what…" Blood瞳 was instantly startled. This was the first time he'd heard such a thing. The color of the pupils… the source of the Krodir's power? Why… why had Leia never told him this?

And most importantly… Blood瞳… knew how big his Blood Source was…

It wasn't a pool or a lake at all? It was a boundless sea! A sea of blood!! If Heck's words were true, then wouldn't he be…

Blood瞳 didn't dare to think further, only feeling that his thoughts were absurd. He felt an unknown, mysterious fear.

Across from him, Heck stretched languidly. His lazy smile returned to his face.

"Looks like you've accepted your identity?"

"Do I have a way to refute it?" Blood瞳 said softly. "Since you've revealed so many clues, you must be certain. I'm just a little angry. I didn't expect to become an enemy of the universe as soon as my identity was confirmed. Lord Heck, if I appear outside now, will it attract a siege from civilizations across the universe?"

"Haha…" Heck suddenly laughed. He shook his head as he laughed. "You're thinking too much. This isn't as serious as you think. First, I'm the only one who knows about this. If I don't say anything, no one will know your identity. Second… you can conceal your pupils. I don't think anyone will notice this anomaly unless they specifically pay attention to your pupils. There are many creatures with red pupils. Who would care about a small cosmic warrior like you?"

"…" Blood瞳 rubbed his nose. Then he shook his head and smiled wryly.

Heck was right. He was just scaring himself with his imagination. How vast was the universe… how many bizarre life forms were there? If every life form with blood-colored pupils was considered a descendant of Krodir, then advanced civilizations could do nothing but wage war every day.

And most importantly, his only obvious characteristic was his pupils. Wouldn't it be easy to conceal them? Who besides Heck could discover him?

Thinking this, Blood瞳 gradually relaxed. He got up, took a bottle of wine, and opened it. He poured a glass for himself and Heck. The mellow wine entered his stomach, making him feel much better.

At that moment, the shuttle vibrated slightly. It had entered warp.

Everyone on the shuttle entered hibernation. However, Blood瞳 and Heck didn't feel a thing. They continued their conversation.

Blood瞳 looked at the lazy Heck and asked softly, "Lord, did you come to me this time just to confirm my identity?"

"Isn't that enough?" Heck countered. A strange glint flashed in his eyes. "Do you know how nervous I was when I obtained this video analysis? A descendant of Krodir… ha, how many years has it been since one appeared? I didn't expect to discover one, and through the legacy of a friend. How could I not come to you immediately?"

"But Lord…" Blood瞳 frowned. "You said that no one but you would know my identity. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's true, but…" Heck first nodded, then revealed a trace of apology. "There are still some accidents."

"Oh?" Blood瞳 was taken aback. Then he asked, "What do you mean?"

"That ruin… the one we entered some time ago," Heck looked up, a dazed look in his eyes. "I said that I wasn't the only one who escaped. Adam and two other magic-armored warriors were there as well. They also obtained something from the ruins. We got separated after coming out. So I don't know what they got."

"If it's just ordinary Krodir relics, it's fine, but if they also obtained similar images…" Heck lowered his head, not continuing.

But that was enough. Since he had obtained this video, others might have as well. The thought of his identity being exposed like this sent a chill down Blood瞳's spine. He couldn't help but straighten his body.

"Lord, is there a way to stop them?"

"Hard to say." Heck pondered. "Adam is easy to deal with, but those two magic-armored warriors… hey… those guys are the proudest bastards in the universe. It's too difficult to take advantage of them. At least I can't do it. Maybe 'King' has a chance."

"King?"

"Yes." Heck nodded emphatically, then added, "They are a group of guys above me. But they aren't easy to talk to either. So don't count on them. Just hope what those two obtained is different from what I got."

"But…" Blood瞳 frowned. "What if what they obtained is the same as yours?"

"Then it depends on whose fist is harder." Heck's eyes flashed, and he downed his wine in one gulp. Then he slammed the glass heavily on the table. He snorted heavily. "It's just a video. I don't believe they'd break ties with me over this. Moreover, we have an agreement. If they attack me, 'King' won't sit idly by. Then I'll see who can't take it first."

"…" Blood瞳 was speechless. There was no doubt that what Heck was saying now exceeded his level of understanding, leaving Blood瞳 confused. But one thing was certain: Heck would definitely stand by his side.

After a long silence, Blood瞳 nodded and said earnestly to Heck,

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it. Actually, I caused this." Heck smiled wryly and waved his hand. "If I hadn't agreed to Adam's request to explore that ruin, these things wouldn't have happened. But you don't have to worry too much. I don't think they'll connect you to them even if they get a similar video. Don't forget, I'm the only one who's seen your blood-colored pupils."

"No… that's not right…" Heck suddenly paused, then a frightening light flashed in his eyes. "…There's one other person who's seen them…"

"Who?"

"Adam!"
