583: Chapter Void Zone Overlord, Caron Thieves
“Alright, whatever you say.” Qi Longhu shrugged. He was getting increasingly lazy to think.
However, Xu Lieying was right. Although his style of doing things was becoming more like Chen Heng’s, he definitely couldn’t imitate it one-to-one.
Chen Heng’s old man’s strength allowed him to do whatever he wanted, and Qi Longhu was well aware of his own strength.
Even if he didn't want to use his brain, he knew he couldn't single-handedly take on an entire planet like Chen Heng.
“The next step is simple: expand our manpower, strengthen our equipment, and occupy the Flower Gang.”
Xu Lieying’s plan was actually very simple, but it was much better than Qi Longhu’s impulsive approach.
“Now?”
Qi Longhu grinned, clenching his fists.
“Stay put. Your recklessness will only disrupt my plan.”
“Oh, got it…”
---
Dark Zone, border.
Karon Galaxy Bandit Group’s scout ships were patrolling back and forth nearby.
Their favorite activity was hunting down ships escaping from the Dark Zone.
Ships that could emerge from the Dark Zone usually fell into two categories: either low-level civilizations exploring the outside world, or ships from other galaxies that had accidentally entered the Dark Zone and were fleeing in disarray.
Ships from low-level civilizations exploring the outside world weren't very valuable, but they were more interesting, allowing for a game of cat and mouse.
The truly valuable ones were those ships from other galaxies that had mistakenly entered the Dark Zone.
Once these ships entered the Dark Zone, it would take them a long time to escape.
And the escape process would certainly not be smooth, inevitably incurring some damage.
These scout ships were specifically prepared to lie in wait for ships escaping the Dark Zone.
Once they were spotted, the scout ship would immediately transmit the information back to the main battleship, while it itself would engage with those ships.
If the targeted ship didn't escape into the Free Zone in time, they would become a meal for the Karon Galaxy Bandit Group.
Now, Chen Heng’s vermilion bird ship had already been targeted by them.
“No reaction even after being locked on. This ship must be an exploration vessel sent out by those low-level civilizations.”
A Karon tribesman transmitted the target discovery information back to the main battleship. It was estimated that in a few hours, this place would be full of their people… On the vermilion bird ship, Chen Heng scanned the surroundings, which were largely unchanged from a moment ago, and looked at Aiseya with suspicion.
“This… counts as leaving the Dark Zone?”
“Yes, this is already out of the Dark Zone and into the Order Universe.”
Aiseya nodded, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Under immense pressure, people can indeed unleash unexpected potential.
Aiseya had originally thought it would take about another day to arrive, but under Chen Heng’s devil-like gaze, Aiseya’s dormant potential was fully awakened.
She was like a professional racer, swiftly navigating through various dangerous spatial rifts, completing the last few jumps at an incredibly fast speed.
Now, what lay before Chen Heng was the legendary Order Universe, just one step away from the Void Zone.
In the Order Universe, every Celestial Region has its own rules.
And these rules are formulated by the Lord of the Celestial Region, who is also the source of the Lord of the Celestial Region’s power.
“However, we still need to be careful. People from the Karon Bandit Group could appear at any moment.”
“They are like beasts that have smelled blood, ready to pounce and feast at any time.”
Unlike Chen Heng and the others who were curiously looking around, Aiseya remained in alert mode.
Although the vermilion bird ship’s Materials strength was terrifyingly high, its electronic protection was surprisingly poor.
No, it was more than just surprisingly poor; to put it bluntly, the vermilion bird ship essentially had no electronic protection in the Universe.
It didn't even have the most basic built-in armor against electromagnetic storms. Once invaded, the vermilion bird ship would be a large cage.
“…” But after Aiseya glanced at Chen Heng, her vigilance instantly dropped by more than half.
With him overseeing the vermilion bird ship, whether there was electromagnetic protection seemed not too important.
“They’re here!” Just as Aiseya lowered her guard a bit, Karon warships appeared one after another from the asteroid belt not far away.
Karon warships were very characteristic of their race; each was long and shuttle-shaped, entirely Silver White, with no visible external weapons.
However, these warships themselves were giant star destroyer cannons, with terrifying power, capable of directly pulverizing smaller planets with a single shot.
In other words, the Karon had ridden their star destroyer cannons right over.
“What is that thing?” Chen Heng narrowed his eyes. He also saw the shuttle-shaped ships emerging from the asteroid belt.
“Those are Karon warships. The hull itself is a giant star destroyer cannon.”
“Moreover, the Karon are very skilled at electronic intrusion. The vermilion bird ship is about to lose power.”
Aiseya sighed; she had long guessed this would happen.
Sure enough, as soon as Aiseya spoke, all the interior lights of the entire vermilion bird ship went out, and all electronic modules completely failed.
“So, they’re here to cause trouble?”
Chen Heng stood up and stretched his body.
“No, you don’t need to act!” Aiseya quickly stood up and blocked Chen Heng.
Once Chen Heng, with his temper, left the cabin, it would mean they were officially at war with the Karon Bandit Group.
“I have some dealings with a Legion Commander from the Kalon Galaxy. I should be able to handle the current situation.”
“Why bother? Just kill them.”
Chen Heng was already impatient. He wanted to see if that star destroyer cannon could blow him to smithereens.
He hadn't enjoyed the fun of doubled power in a long time, and even now, he hadn't encountered anything that could completely kill him.
“No, please wait. If negotiations break down, the rest is up to you!”
Aiseya did not want to go to war with the Kalon Galaxy.
Not to mention that they had a Galaxy-level Overlord, their technology alone was at least a generation more advanced than that of the Dark Spirit Galaxy.
Her current situation was very awkward; she couldn't anger Chen Heng, nor could she let the Kalon Galaxy think that the Dark Spirit Galaxy was attacking them.
If there was a misunderstanding, it would be a huge mess.
Putting on her full set of armor, Aiseya walked to the isolation cabin and tried to open the door.
Her armor was still tattered, but it didn't affect her short-term survival in space.
“Oh, right, the electronic System is broken…”
Aiseya looked back at Bai Jun. As for why she didn't ask Chen Heng for help, it was, of course, because Chen Heng was a tech illiterate.
“What, is the door broken?”
Chen Heng naturally saw Aiseya and Bai Jun ‘exchanging glances’, stood up, and walked over to Aiseya.
“That’s simple. If the door is broken, just take it off.”
Before Bai Jun and Aiseya could react, Chen Heng directly reached out and tore a large hole in the cabin door.
“Don’t worry, even though it’s broken now, it will repair itself in a while.”
“…” Aiseya was now very glad she had just persuaded Chen Heng, otherwise they would probably be fighting by now, right?
After Aiseya left, Chen Heng molded the cabin door back into shape like clay, almost identical to Qi Longhu’s actions on Chiling Star.
“This ship is really unlucky to be in your hands…”
Luo Shuo muttered softly, watching the self-repairing ship.
“Don’t worry, this Material has excellent compatibility with my blood. I just need to drip two drops of my blood on it…”
With that, Chen Heng cut his wrist, and fresh blood slowly sprinkled onto the shattered cabin door.
“Big Brother Chen, I always feel that what Aiseya said is a bit different from what Fila said?”
After pondering for a while, Bai Jun asked his question.
“Look, Fila said that the Void Zone is basically unmanaged and without order, so why would Aiseya say that this counts as the Order Universe?”
“She also said that every Celestial Region has its own rules, so are the rules of the Void Zone just no rules?”
“Then what is the source of the Void Emperor’s power?”
“You make a good point.” Chen Heng nodded. While there were discrepancies in what Fila and Aiseya said, the basic information difference was not significant.
“Want to know who is telling the truth, Fila or Aiseya?”
“You just need to go and see what that Void Emperor really is.”
...Using the still-functional thrusters behind her, Aiseya arrived in front of the Karon Bandit Group.
Although she had some dealings with a Legion Commander within the Karon Bandit Group, Aiseya still maintained a safe distance from them.
“Dark Spirit Galaxy’s technology?”
Among the many warships, the captain of the command ship raised an eyebrow. This strange-looking ship was actually from the Dark Spirit Galaxy?
“Is Legion Commander Mekaye here?”
Aiseya, of course, knew that Legion Commander Mekaye would not be here; she just wanted to mention his name.
“This female from the Dark Spirit Galaxy knows the Legion Commander?”
The captain was stunned. Legion Commander Mekaye was one of the top ten individual powerhouses in the Karon Bandit Group.
He was a Comet-level Overlord capable of tearing a warship apart with his bare hands, just one step away from becoming a Planet-level Overlord who could single-handedly control a planet.
