Shhh! Shhh!” The Crow people’s spacecraft continuously fired, launching purple energy destruction beams at Nova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming leapt into the air, evading effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He can fly!” the Tantanian gasped in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Muzhenian: “Of course the disc creature can fly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!” Nova whipped the Crow people’s spacecraft, but the vessel was sturdy and did not crash after taking the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad—but are your bodies as tough as your ship?” Nova caught up to the Crow people’s spacecraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first drilled an opening with his left scythe, then unleashed a torrent of crimson, frenzied gas from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… no!” The Crow leader screamed, but soon his neck, like the others’, was wrapped in crimson chains, his reason erased by murderous rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-solid spacecraft had become a horrific aerial arena, where all the Crows went mad, slaughtering each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship, unmanned, was about to plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The boxes holding the miniaturized humans aren’t on the ship—they must not have had time to take them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then forget it. Let it crash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming glanced once and ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his only remaining opponents were the Tantanian and the Muzhenian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Muzhenian felt fear and dared not move. It asked: “Do we have any grudge? We’ve never met before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming countered: “Did you have any grudge against the two ‘prey’ you exiled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Muzhenian gasped: “What!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he targeting me because of those two prey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tantanian was nearly on his knees begging: “I was wrong—I shouldn’t have meddled in their affairs. Can you give me a chance? Spare me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Did you give the innocent lives destroyed by your Tantanian invasions any chance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tantanian: “What!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk. Leave yourself some dignity!” In the next instant, Nova spun through the air like a top and slammed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(The fierce wind awakens my dream, I spread my heavenly wings to soar~ Golden flames blaze fiercely, unleashing new energy~)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the Tantanian activated “Baru Operation” again—he abandoned the Muzhenian and turned to flee, hoping the latter would buy him time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!” In the next moment, the razor-sharp edge of Nova’s cloak spun like a circular saw, slicing the Tantanian cleanly in half—its death was gruesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Tantanian’s fate, the Muzhenian gritted its teeth and charged forward for a desperate last stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It unleashed a blue destruction beam from its head antennae, but Qi Ming dodged it effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nova, dominating the skies, targeted the clumsy Muzhenian with ocular lasers—like shooting at a stationary target, no pressure at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Muzhenian was forced to unleash its ultimate technique: its body reshaped from bipedal to quadrupedal, extending its massive [Million-Ton Neck] to ram Nova midair with a headbutt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “You’re handing me your weakness on a silver platter? You’re a genius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nova’s tentacles stretched out, tightly constricting the Muzhenian’s neck; the tiny venomous spines hardened and pierced its skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a minute of struggle, the Muzhenian suffocated and collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ababas had smashed the Kaiterian’s skull open—blood and gore everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-fierce battlefield fell silent, leaving only wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming used his Ultraman wrist key to pull—green glimmers floated from the corpses of the Tantanian and Kaiterian, a blue glimmer from the Muzhenian’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From previous experience, blue glimmers could be converted into 3 Star Grants (B-rank), green glimmers into 1 Star Grant (C-rank).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, the green glimmer from the dead Tantanian was pathetically weak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Access\u002FConvert].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Access\u002FConvert].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Access\u002FConvert].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming mindlessly tapped [Convert]. These three dead aliens offered nothing remarkable—their DNA wasn’t worth collecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main interface changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Grant: 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Insight: 3\u002F5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming slowly typed a “?”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered clearly—his Star Grant had been 6 before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>6 + 1 + 1 + 3 should equal 11, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does this mean? Why only 10?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s skimming the benefits from these aliens?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ababas sensed the violent, murderous emotional surge from Nova and shuddered three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now feared most that this disc creature would turn on him—he’d have zero chance to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I killed the Kaiterian—you promised me…” His voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I always keep my word. I have a question for you—come down and talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming de-transformed. Ababas, gritting his teeth, shrank and walked nervously to Qi Ming’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be afraid—I swore by Luoshui I’d let you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Qi Ming had calmed down and reassured Ababas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qi Ming’s view, Luoshui was remarkably effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Sima Yi broke his oath, the Sima family suddenly shifted from a long-lived lineage to a short-lived one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Shi, the much-anticipated heir, died with his eyeballs bursting; Sima Zhao died mysteriously; Sima Yan gave birth to the brilliant but foolish crown prince Sima Zhong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon came the War of the Eight Princes, the Yongjia Rebellion, Shi Le’s uprising… In short, the entire Jin Dynasty’s history was one of the Sima family being humiliated and slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he had another, more important reason not to kill Ababas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “I have a suggestion for you—and two questions to ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ababas: “A suggestion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming spoke confidently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You need powerful soldiers who can fight both day and night—why not capture these Crows from their home planet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You saw the combat strength of that Crow leader. And their light-shrinking guns pose no threat to you in your giant form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ababas was immediately tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to Earth meant facing this terrifying creature; going to the Crow planet would be like walking on flat ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ababas: “But I don’t know where their planet is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can tell you—they come from Star P413.” Qi Ming revealed the original plot’s information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ababas perked up, thanked him repeatedly, then asked what questions Qi Ming had—he’d answer anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “How do I restore the people you turned to stone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ababas: “Just shine a strong light on them for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming nodded: “Second question: Is Earth a Class-5A attraction?
