Chapter 470: My Job Panel Is Somehow an Anime Style? Chapter 219
"..." The centipede's body stiffened, not daring to say that he had been thinking about what posture to use when entering the Mother Queen, so he could only vaguely say, "【Io Logistics】 sent a Tier-6 Gem Dragon, I can't beat him."
Hearing this, Yize narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly skeptical of the fellow in front of him's explanation.
He knew Centipede wasn't telling the truth, but now wasn't the time to pursue these matters.
"Leave a clone behind, then go chase that kid."
Having lived so long, Yize was seeing for the first time an existence that could ignore 【Heir Weaver】's ability and kill a sub-body.
Even if it was just a Tier-5 piece of trash, he couldn't just let the other party off like that.
As for 【Io Logistics】?
Pfft.
It's just a pity that the sub-bodies spread across various regions can't be spared now, so he could only temporarily entrust this somewhat unreliable companion before him.
Hearing Yize's words, Centipede's eyes immediately lit up; he had been worrying about what excuse to use to find that little fellow: "Yes, this time I will definitely catch him and bring him back!"
The premise was that the Mother Queen hadn't done anything to that little dragon whelp.
Of course, Centipede said this last sentence in his heart; he had no intention of telling the person before him about the Mother Queen's abnormality.
With an eager mindset, he immediately shook an insect off his body, and then vanished.
The moment Centipede left, the insect grew into a form identical to him: "26816 reporting in! Officer Manfred!"
Yize paid no heed to 26816's words, merely frowning as he looked at the massive swarm of insects about to disappear at the edge of his vision.
He could tell the swarm's condition seemed a bit off, but he couldn't be bothered to investigate what it was.
Retracting his gaze, Yize casually said to 26816 standing ramrod-straight beside him: "Start the arrangement over again."
"Yes!"
Seeing 26816 as if pumped full of stimulants, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then shared the information out.
On the other side.
Yagarde looked at the tattooed bald man beside him who seemed distracted, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What happened?"
". Nothing."
Hearing the voice, Yize tucked away his thoughts, then put on an expression that seemed to want to say something but held back.
Seeing this, Yagarde's heart skipped a beat, then said with feigned composure: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Even though he, as a Vampire Sovereign, had already weathered countless storms, thinking about what he was about to do still made him somewhat nervous.
The anomaly triggered by that Councilor's strike not long ago, Yagarde naturally noticed as well; he was truly afraid that if things were exposed, the other party would swat him dead with a single slap.
But there was no helping it, 【Immortal Evolution】—or rather, the remuneration offered by the fellow beside him—was simply too tempting, and he couldn't refuse at all.
As if sensing Yagarde's tension, Yize shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, just a small issue at some node."
"However."
Saying this, he paused briefly, then continued in a somewhat strange tone: "Over there I saw someone under you—who had broken free of the Blood Contract's control."
"."
Good news: the big shots hadn't set their sights on him.
Bad news: the Blood Contract tied to his own profession had a problem.
Upon learning this information, Yagarde's expression instantly became extremely unsightly.
He took a deep breath to forcibly control his emotions, then opened his mouth to ask: "Who was it?"
"Li Ang. Think carefully, you should recognize him."
Because the sub-body that detected Li Ang as the peeping figure hadn't transmitted this information, the Yize beside Yagarde only knew that vampires were appearing on Morabis Star.
And after receiving this reminder, this Vampire Sovereign quickly found the target's profile in his mind.
A while back, a subordinate had reported that some small enterprise had snatched part of the Secret Blood Company's share in the Group Army, and then there were no follow-ups.
But at that time he was negotiating cooperation with 【Immortal Evolution】, so he hadn't taken it to heart.
'Caius!'
Following the Blood Contract connection, Yagarde issued the call in his heart.
But after quite a while, he received no response.
There were only two possibilities for this kind of situation: either Caius was dead, or the Blood Contract had failed.
Combined with the information Yize provided, which of the two it was went without saying.
Yagarde hadn't expected his own profession to have issues at such a critical juncture, his face instantly turning extremely gloomy: "Thanks for the reminder, next I will fully cooperate with you, let's complete the cooperation first before anything else."
"As long as you know what you're doing."
Yize shrugged, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
In the information revealed to Yagarde, he had concealed a very crucial point: that behind the target was 【Io Logistics】.
After all, if he let the vampire before him know about this, he probably wouldn't be able to use him as a pawn.
As for now—
Just obediently work for him, then burn out.
……
In the cold void of space, an emerald-green planet streaked past at extreme speed.
Li Ang stood atop the 【Alchemy Kingdom】 that had risen back into the sky, observing the surroundings back and forth to prevent any unexpected situations.
However, due to the recent tense situation in the Obsidian Starfield, the number of starships traveling back and forth had sharply decreased, so he didn't need to worry too much about mobile obstacles suddenly appearing ahead.
By now, several days had passed since Li Ang took the ball and ran; during this period he had seen stars that had been suddenly extinguished in quite a few unmanned star systems, clearly the handiwork of that Lord Afra.
'So this is Tier-7—'
Li Ang was seeing for the first time how terrifying a Tier-7's strike was, which also made him once again affirm that taking the ball and running was right; after all, who knew whether those few Tier-7 powerhouses would truly go all out, and by then wanting to run would undoubtedly be too late.
'Tsk, Tier-5 is still too lacking in security.'
As his strength grew, his understanding of the main universe was also gradually deepening.
In the eyes of most people, the unattainable Fifth Energy Level experts were, in Li Ang's view, only barely escaped the status of chess pieces; if certain beings wished it, they would still have to obediently sit down at the table and be preyed upon.
Fortunately, after arriving at the territory of 【Aio Logistics】, he should be able to obtain quite a bit of development time, and both 【Immortal】 and 【Star Shepherd】 were in extreme need of time.
'There's still a limit.'
He had never forgotten the class-change conditions of 【Star Shepherd】; a cosmic giant enterprise like 【Aio Logistics】 had a high probability of having relevant records.
After slightly organizing his thoughts, Li Ang gently exhaled, then continued observing the road conditions.
Just then, a starship flew straight toward Morabis Star from the distance.
Seeing this, Li Ang's expression did not change at all; he merely muttered in a low voice: "Which planet's Viceroy is this now?"
Due to the severe situation, most of the star gates in the Obsidian Star Domain had already entered a controlled state, so he could only maneuver Morabis Star to travel according to the route provided by Seth.
And a planet wandering about the universe was obviously somewhat conspicuous, which also forced Li Ang to face interrogations from colleagues when passing through certain star systems.
The premise was that these people could actually see him.
As Li Ang's gaze swept over that starship, a terrifyingly extreme aura instantly swept across.
Perhaps looking across the entire universe, the Fifth Energy Level amounted to nothing, but in a backwater place like the Obsidian Star Domain, it could already be considered high-end combat power; after all, the vast majority of planet Viceroys here were only at the Fourth or even Third Energy Level.
However, he did not intend to do anything to the personnel in the distant starship, only warning them not to approach.
Inside the starship.
Sensing the threatening aura emanating from that distant planet, a meticulously dressed middle-aged woman immediately frowned: "…Fifth Energy Level? Where did this one come from now?"
Hearing this, an elder standing behind her spoke up to inquire: "Director, so what do we do next…?"
"Move closer and figure out the other party's identity."
As the Director of the Federal Review Bureau of the Obsidian Star Domain, the woman naturally could not let go of a Fifth Energy Level professional whose behavior she found suspicious.
Receiving the superior's order, a group of staff immediately maneuvered the starship toward the massive rock-and-soil construct in the distance.
The good news was that the target did not take any further extreme actions, which allowed the woman to slightly smooth out her frown.
But when the surveillance feed transmitted back the other party's clear appearance, the elder could not help but be stunned: "This is… the planet Viceroy of Morabis Star?"
Seeing that the elder seemed to recognize the other party, the woman immediately turned her head to look at him: "You know the target?"
"…Yes." After repeated confirmation, the elder could be certain he had not mistaken the person, so he nodded very decisively, "I presided over this person's Viceroy examination back then, but why is he—"
The elder had just wanted to say something when he noticed that the emerald-green planet in the image seemed somewhat familiar.
"…Morabis Star!?"
He thought he knew why the youth in the image would appear here.
Through the elder's words, the woman instantly realized something, and her originally stern expression immediately became somewhat strange.
After a brief silence, she could not help but sigh: "Then Director Xiao, come out with me to take a look at this—"
"His name is Li Ang."
"—go take a look together at what this Viceroy Li Ang is actually doing."
After speaking, looking at the cold-expressioned youth in the image, the woman pinched her brow with some headache.
She had to know that even in her long career as Director, this was the first time she had seen such a weirdo.
But regardless, having a clear identity was still better than one of unknown origin; the currently chaotic Obsidian Star Domain could no longer withstand more turmoil.
'Sigh, troubled times.'
With somewhat indescribable thoughts, the woman led her subordinates out of the starship.
