Colonial Suit

Blood瞳 had no way to answer Gangze.

Because he didn't know if he still belonged to humanity… The sense of identity that originally came from humans had gradually faded away as his identity became clearer. Now, he carried the will of Krodir and the ambition of a demon.

He was a destroyer, not a builder.

To this universe, to the whole world, and to humanity.

He was, in fact, the enemy.

With a throbbing in his heart, Blood瞳 suddenly grunted and covered his forehead with his hand. At the same time, the outside world suddenly let out a tremendous jolt, the sky trembled, and the earth shook.

Countless residents stared blankly at the sky, then fled in panic to the nearest residence. They didn't know what was happening, but they sensed that something was wrong with the city. The barrier protecting them was oscillating.

The figures of cosmic warriors appeared in the sky. They quickly went to various nodes to check the stability of the rule structure. The shock disappeared in an instant, and then everything returned to normal. So they eventually had no choice but to return, attributing everything to the repulsive force of the sub-space.

Gangze didn't see it that way. He silently drove the air car and said softly after a long while. "You just used your ability?"

"No," Blood瞳 still covered his forehead and answered. His expression under his hand was unclear. "I'm a little tired, wake me up when we get there."

"Okay," Gangze said, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Blood瞳's actions and the changes outside were too coincidental. Although he didn't feel the touch of the rules, who could say for sure that it had nothing to do with Blood瞳? This No. 1 test subject was too mysterious. Gangze couldn't figure out Blood瞳's true strength.

But Blood瞳 knew that everything just now was caused by him.

Or rather, by the abyss within him. For some reason, since coming to the sub-space, he felt that the power of the abyss had become stronger again. It seemed that the deeper he went into the spatial level, the greater its power would be. The repulsive force of the sub-space was like nourishment to it, constantly nourishing and strengthening it.

This process was slow, but it was very clear. So clear that Blood瞳 couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. If this continued for a long time, it would only be a matter of time before the power of the abyss broke through Blood瞳's suppression.

Blood瞳 thought to himself, beads of sweat seeping from his forehead. After a while, a slender, white hand reached over from the back seat, holding a silk scarf to wipe away the sweat. Blood瞳 didn't need to look back to know that it must be Qingyue.

That hazy woman, like moonlight.

"Master, you seem very tired. Is it because you're not used to crossing the artificial black hole?"

"............" Blood瞳 didn't answer. He seemed to be asleep.

But Gangze turned his head and glanced at Qingyue, smiling slightly. "The first time crossing a black hole can indeed cause a burden, but the most important thing is the pain of being cut off from the rules. I think he may be the kind of person who is closely connected to the rules. He'll be fine after resting for a while."

"That's good," Qingyue smiled politely and nodded to Gangze. "Thank you, Lord Gangze."

"It's nothing," Gangze waved his hand and continued to concentrate on driving.

But in his heart, he was jealous of Blood瞳. How could such an elegant, gentle, and considerate woman be met by No. 1? It's truly pitiful...

In the corner of the other carriage, Meiding was clutching the hem of her clothes.

"That's the nurse's job, it's the nurse's..."

........................

The airport was a bit far from the lodging location, but no matter how far the journey, there was always a moment of arrival. Two hours later, the air car slowly descended from the sky. A miniature manor appeared in front of everyone. On the lawn in front of the manor villa, dozens of maids and servants stood in two rows, bowing to Gangze and the others.

"Welcome, Lord Gangze. Lord No. 1."

"Yeah," Gangze nodded. After throwing his gloves to a maid, he asked, "Has Councilor Sal Jones sent any news?"

"No, but Mr. Jerifin has arrived. He will be helping to take care of your life recently," the maid replied.

"Oh, I see. Then let's rest first," Gangze didn't ask any more questions. Jerifin was the guy who picked them up at the airport. It seemed that he was doing well here. In fact, because the headquarters' warriors had too much mobility, there were often temporary butlers like Jerifin. However, being able to welcome him, Jerifin's service level must not be low.

Thinking this, he made a gesture of invitation to Blood瞳.

"Let's go, let's rest for a while. The council is still asleep. They will summon us when they wake up."

"Asleep?"

"It's just sleeping, you don't even understand this," Gangze laughed, leading Blood瞳 into the villa.

Behind him, Blood瞳 was still a little puzzled. Why was it sleeping? The council was an organization, not a person. Did it also need sleep?

His question didn't last too long, because after resting for a night, Councilor Sal Jones 'met' with them. In a holographic image.

The newest novels are first published at 69shu.com!

It was a transparent cylindrical container, inside which was a brain soaked in nutrient solution. Below were countless pipes and mechanical arms. Around it were dozens of compound eyes moving. He was working, and the efficiency of his work was amazing. Every minute and every second, hundreds of topics flowed in front of him, being classified, processed, and approved by him. While working, he also had the leisure to talk to Gangze.

"You arrived yesterday?"

"Yes, Councilor Sal Jones," Gangze bowed, placing a hand on his chest. "But you were asleep at that time, so we rested first."

"Oh, I've been working too much recently. My brain is a bit disordered. You know, compared to other civilizations, the human base is too large. It's a troublesome thing to handle requests from so many units. Even if I just changed this new shell, it's still a bit overwhelming."

"Of course, we have all witnessed the sacrifices you have made for humanity," Gangze said solemnly. He was very respectful.

In fact, he had to be respectful. Because this was the councilor of the universe mercenaries. A group of leaders who had even abandoned their physical bodies. For the benefit of the universe mercenaries, and even the entire human race, they had given up everything.

Without physical bodies, human desires and pleasures were irrelevant to them. All their energy was devoted to work.

Just like machines. Day after day, year after year.

"Alright, I don't need your compliments, Gangze. How was this mission completed?"

"I've brought him. He is No. 1," Gangze stepped aside, allowing the councilor to see Blood瞳.

Sal Jones was still working, only one compound eye moved over to look at Blood瞳 for a while, then said lazily. "Not bad. Your mission is over. Tomorrow he will have a new person in charge to take over. So, let's have some entertainment in our spare time."

"I wonder what kind of entertainment you want, sir?" Gangze said in a deep voice. But strangely, Blood瞳 saw that he seemed a little...'afraid'?

Sure enough, Sal Jones's next sentence made Blood瞳 feel thunderstruck.

"Do a striptease, Gangze, it's been a long time since I've seen you dance..." Sal Jones said with a wicked smile, causing an image of a perverted old man to appear in Blood瞳's mind. (To be continued.
