Chapter 985: Three Targets (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

A large blue screen projected by Lord Kongming displayed a vast number of data files, all arranged in order, while three figures were simultaneously projected forth.

Each one radiated a formidable aura even from afar.

He continued:

“Our human laws are the Deep Space Code, with extremely detailed provisions.”

“But they are still imperfect.”

“At their inception, because martial cultivation levels varied, equal treatment was impossible.”

“The stronger one’s cultivation, the greater the contributions they can make.”

“Thus, the higher one’s status, the greater the privileges they enjoy.”

“The same act of killing might carry the death penalty on many planets.”

“But for certain powerful beings, it amounts to little more than a fine.”

“Not to mention those of the Cosmic Fifth Realm.”

“For such beings, ordinary laws are ineffective—they operate under their own legal code.”

“Even if they break the law, there are still means to punish them.”

“But generally, their lives are not taken.”

“Mostly they are imprisoned, fined, or sent to the battlefield to fight other races, redeeming their sins through military merit.”

“Only when they commit grave atrocities is the death penalty imposed.”

“And your target is to eliminate such beings.”

“They have surpassed the minimum standard set by law, beyond redemption.”

“Their contributions can no longer offset their sins—they must be killed.”

“Originally, such eliminations should be carried out by the Cosmic Fifth Realm beings of the Deep Space Academy.”

“But they may serve as your trial.”

“If you fail, the accompanying Dominators will act.”

“Of course, they too may choose to go to the battlefield to atone for their faults.”

Lin Qi nodded; he could understand this.

In fact, our Blue Star has similar legal provisions.

It seems humanity shares similar legal principles.

This is the world of the transcendent.

With sufficient strength, one gains countless advantages.

Hence, countless individuals strive to grow stronger, seeking such power.

Then Lord Kongming switched the screen:

“We collected vast amounts of data and filtered it through multiple rounds.”

“We selected those who met the criteria—those with the title of Cosmic Fifth Realm.”

“After careful consideration, I chose three who are exceptionally suited as your targets.”

“Because they are all extremely powerful.”

“Ordinary title-level beings were filtered out.”

Lin Qi looked at the screen, where the data of three title-level Cosmic Fifth Realm beings appeared.

Lord Kongming began introducing them; their bodies appeared as 3D projections, revealing fine details.

Lord Kongming pointed to the first: a massive, muscular man clad in black battle armor, with a grotesque face and a height nearing six meters.

His gaping mouth could swallow a child whole.

A child seeing him would likely suffer nightmares.

Lord Kongming spoke:

“This is King Qiulong, a title-level being who reached the Cosmic Fifth Realm a million years ago.”

“He cultivates Earth and Space Laws.”

“This resembles Seyes, but his strength surpasses Seyes’ avatar.”

“He possesses superior physical attributes and recovery ability.”

“Especially his understanding of Space Law—he has mastered over five Space Laws in a million years, even with low talent.”

“His battle experience is even more impressive.”

“It will surely exceed yours.”

“Essentially, every Cosmic Fifth Realm being must go to the Frontier Battlefield.”

“They must accumulate sufficient merit to leave.”

“Those who survive and rise to title-level status through combat are exceptionally powerful.”

“And they know full well that once we come to kill them.”

“There is no turning back—they will spare no effort to destroy you.”

Lin Qi nodded; such beings undoubtedly possessed immense battle experience.

They held countless hidden cards.

Merely looking at them radiated overwhelming might.

Like many title-level beings he had encountered, even stronger.

Then Lord Kongming pointed to the second: a tall, elegant woman with cold, beautiful features, a chilling aura, draped in a white robe.

“This is Snow King, who cultivates Ice and Space Laws.”

“Her age is similar to King Qiulong’s; her paper-based combat power is nearly identical.”

“Her hidden cards are unknown, but she enslaves a member of the Cold Night Clan, who also possesses Cosmic Fifth Realm combat power.”

“And after meticulous cultivation, her power may have approached title-level.”

“If you face her, you may be ambushed.”

Lin Qi studied Snow King’s data—her strength was formidable.

She enslaved a Cold Night Clan member; together they would launch a coordinated assault.

Even a legendary genius might not withstand it.

But he was different.

He had Star-Swallowing Beast Xiaotian, also at the level of a legendary genius,

Capable of fighting at title-level despite crossing realms.

Though weaker than himself, killing one Cold Night Clan member was no problem.

Lord Kongming watched Lin Qi’s thoughtful expression, then pointed to the third.

A towering man over three meters tall, clad in a blood-red robe, with coarse features and a cold expression.

Clearly visible on his exposed skin were faint law runes and countless tattoos.

Each depicted bloody, grotesque, terrifying patterns.

They covered his entire body.

It was unbearable to look at—just one glance could induce nightmares.

“What the hell is this?”

Even Lin Qi, who had seen countless strange races, found him repulsive.

He could accept other races’ geniuses,

But this was a fellow human—his appearance truly disturbed him.

At that moment, Lord Kongming chuckled:

“This is King Kowu, a rather unusual figure among our people.”

“But our human territory is vast—there are all kinds of people.”

“Still, he stands out even among them.”

“King Kowu cultivates Wood and Space Laws.”

“In fact, he’s somewhat like me.”

“His entire body is saturated with poison—he is also an alchemist, wielding countless toxins, making him nearly impossible to defend against in battle.”

“He is also a mentalist.”

“And he has cultivated plant life—his power is not to be underestimated.”

“He is an extremely troublesome opponent.”

“Killing him won’t be easy.”

He took another sip of fine wine:

“Your targets are these three—they are among the strongest.”

“They dared commit crimes because they had absolute confidence in their strength.”

“They know that with sufficient power, status changes entirely, and privileges improve.”

“They believe we dare not touch them.”

“In truth, many Cosmic Fifth Realm beings harbor such thoughts.”

“But in the Nine Supreme Powers, invincible ones walk everywhere, and Cosmic Fifth Realm beings are as common as dogs.”

“Experts are everywhere.”

“Unable to gain greater privileges, some choose to leave the powers and return to their own star regions—or even star systems.”

There are no other powerful beings among them; throughout the entire galaxy, they are the strongest, kings and gods.

They possess countless worshippers and their word is absolute.

No one dares oppose whatever they wish to do.

None of these exist within the Supreme Powers.

Lin Qi imagined it and nodded in agreement.

Lord Kongming rose to his feet and said:

"Therefore, Lin Qi, you must carefully choose a target and kill him."

After hearing this, Lin Qi understood, and asked:

"Among them, who is the strongest?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Kongming smiled and said:
