Chapter 372: Deep Space Giant Sword

Xiao Jiu was continually advancing in the Star Sea, and inside her small boat cabin, Zhang Jie and Weiniya were chatting after a long time.

At least Weiniya greatly enjoyed the time alone with Zhang Jie, since such opportunities were rare, and she cherished this hard-won time.

But this situation was tough on Xiao Jiu; the more enthusiastically the two chatted in her ship's cabin, the heavier her head felt.

Just think: those two were doing that in their own little ship, while she could only serve as their driver.

This feeling was just like Weiniya teasing her to her face....

Hearing the cheerful chatter behind her, Xiao Jiu's mood grew worse; she could only stomp the accelerator in spite, hoping to shorten the journey, shorten it even more.

Moreover, Xiao Jiu had already made up her mind: she would definitely find a chance to get revenge on Weiniya later!

The journey was far, but fortunately the Alliance's jump technology was top-notch; for top-tier civilizations, exceeding light speed had long been commonplace.

The Star Sea could form a commonwealth and an interstellar trade network, giving rise to the Star Sea Mega-structure Company, all relying on high-speed information transmission and rapid interstellar jumps; barely a few hours passed before the red warship ceased its jump.

At this moment, an interstellar mega-structure resembling a knight's sword stood silently atop a star, magnificent beyond compare; it seemed to be their final destination.

"Whoa!"

"Really.... shocking."

Zhang Jie felt a sense of awe; even though he had seen Alliance warships that were equally shocking, he couldn't help but marvel at this equally shocking sight before him.

In the Star Sea, shocking things are never lacking; each mega-structure brings a different kind of shock.

"Mm, it's very magnificent."

Weiniya went along with Zhang Jie's words.

"This should be a mega-structure that extracts spiritual energy using a star's power; I've seen quite a few like it before."

"Spiritual energy extraction device?"

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows, already scheming in his mind.

As everyone knows, he can exchange points for some technology in the simulation mall, so such a star-extraction device is naturally available.

But even so, it still costs money!

If possible, Zhang Jie still wanted to obtain technology for free as much as possible, so he really wanted this giant sword!

"Top-tier civilizations don't just study one technology system."

After all, no rule says a civilization must follow a single ascension path; he definitely wanted the Alliance to go as far as possible.

As the red warship slowly approached the giant sword, a black giant several times larger than Xiao Jiu's true form slowly drew near, instantly raising Xiao Jiu's alertness.

"Driver, a ship is approaching."

Weiniya frowned, looked outside, and immediately understood.

That huge, ferocious object, actually her nest, was recognized because she had previously messaged her older sister, so the other party should have identified Xiao Jiu's true form.

"It's fine, teacher! That's my ship!"

The ferocious object's behavior also corroborated Weiniya's words; seeing that it did nothing special, it simply followed honestly behind Xiao Jiu's rear, front and back, flying toward the giant sword.

"The two ships at coordinates A1007, B3077, C0073, this is Deep Space Knight."

"Please state your identity and purpose, and make a brief stop; do not approach the Deep Space Giant Sword any further."

A voice sounded from Xiao Jiu's quantum communicator; Zhang Jie thought it over and revealed his identity as Alliance Deputy Leader, since this was a pre-prepared excuse.

Afterward, identity verification went smoothly, and the guiding ship led them into the interior of the Deep Space Giant Sword.

As Xiao Jiu's true form slowly approached the port, Zhang Jie and Weiniya also began to survey everything before them.

"This giant sword is larger than I imagined."

Zhang Jie nodded, then turned his gaze around; at first he felt nothing, but the more he looked, the more he felt something was off.

He sensed the surrounding incredibly chaotic aura—flesh and blood, AI, insect disaster, silicon beings, all kinds of things mixed together; that chaotic aura made him instinctively uncomfortable.

"Can such a chaotic body really maintain sanity?"

Zhang Jie personally watched a nearby AI shove a lump of twisted flesh into its CPU; despite the imperfect bio-mechanical fusion, it could still communicate normally with those around him....

It was quite abstract.

Just as Zhang Jie was somewhat doubtful about all this, an insect disaster knight wearing Blood Disaster Armor slowly came up to him....

"Hello, Alliance Deputy Leader, I am the knight responsible for guiding you."

"Um.... hello...."

Zhang Jie's expression was hard to describe; he only felt as if insect disaster were crawling all over his body....

Simply put, the insect tribe knight before him....

His mouthparts were like a constantly contracting skin swallow....

It was... hard to accept.

Yet the other party seemed to realize something; Zhang Jie actually saw an embarrassed look on an insect disaster's face, and saw it say somewhat apologetically.

"Sorry, I forgot to bring the mask, my apologies."

As that constantly contracting anal opening was covered by the mask, the insect tribe knight before him instantly became imposing and sturdy.

"Alliance Deputy Leader, by order of the Golden Emperor Knight, I shall introduce you to her."

"Please follow me."

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows, glanced at Weiniya beside him, seeing his doubtful gaze, Weiniya spoke up to explain.

"It's equivalent to Lin Ran receiving you here; leader-to-leader meetings are quite normal."

"Teacher, you needn't worry; it's said the Golden Emperor Knight must possess a will as brilliant as gold, and she will do nothing harmful to you."

Zhang Jie nodded, feeling that everything here was increasingly like the previous simulation, after all, the keywords here were all too familiar to him.

Waving a temporary farewell, Weiniya and Xiao Jiu, Zhang Jie followed the insect tribe knight deeper in.

Along the way, the insect tribe knight hesitated, seeming to want to discuss something.

Seeing him do that several times, Zhang Jie didn't keep pressing, and instead asked about this civilization.

You.... have such a chaotic body, can you really keep your sanity?

Naturally, we possess the Knight's Oath passed down from the first-generation Emperor Knights.

However, not everyone is useful; only those who have undergone the sin judgment of the Emperor's shed are qualified to practice.

Zhang Jie:???

Could it be that he shattered into pieces all over the ground....

The more Zhang Jie thought about it, the more possible it seemed; as the two kept going deeper, a hall also appeared before their eyes.

We've arrived.

After the insect-race Knight finished speaking, he waited a long time for Zhang Jie's reply, then turned his head, only to see Zhang Jie staring wide-eyed, utterly shocked, gazing at the figure before him.

How.... could it be?
