298: Who dares to kill me?

As if to bolster his confidence, or perhaps to convince himself, Hof’s voice grew louder and louder as he said, “Marta, you are truly shamelessly outrageous.”

“My Ze Clan is not a race that can be completely manipulated by you. If it truly comes to a point of no return, even if it means blowing up Ze Star, I will never let you have an easy time.”

That’s right, this was Hof’s trump card.

A trump card for mutual destruction.

It was quite ridiculous when you thought about it.

The Ze Clan’s means of threatening enemies was self-destruction.

Destroying the space gem that Hof coveted along with themselves.

After speaking, Hof looked anxiously at Marta’s spaceship.

He only hoped that the other party would be apprehensive, and out of concern that the Ze Clan would destroy the space gem, they would spare the Ze Clan.

He no longer expected the Ze Clan to gain much benefit from this sudden stroke of fortune.

If he could barely preserve some of the Ze Clan’s bloodline, that was already Hof’s greatest hope.

However, Marta’s cold snort was Hof’s only answer. He said,

“Hof, you are as naive as ever.”

“Mutual destruction? Don’t you even look to see if you have the qualifications.”

“Why do you think I only attacked Ze Star now? It’s to ensure that this attack is foolproof.”

At this point, Hof suddenly changed the subject, saying, “Ba’erbo, if not now, when will you make your move?”

Ba’erbo?

Before Hof could figure out what Marta meant, he felt a whistling around him, followed by several strong gusts of wind.

Bang, bang, bang… Those were the sounds of explosions from violent body collisions.

Hof looked at Ba’erbo with a stunned expression, saying, “Ba’erbo? How could it be you?”

“The biggest traitor in the Ze Clan is actually you?”

In an instant, everything from the past became clear.

It was precisely because of the existence of the traitor Ba’erbo that the news of the space gem leaked so quickly.

Not only that, but Ba’erbo even ambushed him at the most critical moment, trying to create chaos and give Marta the upper hand.

The most terrifying thing was Ba’erbo’s strength.

He was not Planet Level 9 as he appeared on the surface, but Stellar Level 2, enough to completely overwhelm him.

Ambush plus overwhelming strength.

This caused Hof to fall into a disadvantage the moment he engaged Ba’erbo in battle.

Not only that, but he was directly suppressed by Ba’erbo a moment later, unable to move.

At the same time, the Cosmic Beast fleet led by Marta launched a fatal attack on the Ze Clan.

Mental Power Net.

A colossal Mental Power Net, woven by all the spaceships, enveloped the entire Ze Star.

It instantly suppressed all Ze Clan members, rendering them immobile.

This was Ba’erbo’s trump card, a trump card capable of instantly suppressing all Ze Clan members.

The only one he was wary of was Hof, whose strength had reached Stellar Level 1st Grade.

However, since Hof had already been suppressed by Marta, he naturally couldn’t prevent the formation of the Mental Power Net.

He was also unable to resort to mutual destruction and could only obediently become Marta’s captive.

Facing Hof’s astonishment, Ba’erbo said disdainfully, “A wise man submits to circumstances.”

“Hof, your vision is too narrow; you simply don’t know what the most important thing in this universe is.”

“Talent, it is Talent!”

“Only powerful Talent can break the shackles of the Ze Clan and make it stronger.”

“Your foolish actions will only lead the Ze Clan to extinction.”

“So, before the Ze Clan is about to perish, what’s wrong with me choosing to leave the Ze Clan and embark on a correct path?”

At this point, Ba’erbo paused and said, “Facts have also proven me absolutely correct.”

“Do you know why I was able to quickly advance to Stellar Level 2?”

“It’s precisely because the powerful Lord Marta bestowed upon me a powerful advanced Talent scroll.”

Hof’s face was filled with astonishment, and he said incredulously, “So you simply disagreed with my views, and that’s why you plunged our entire Ze Clan into eternal damnation?”

“Do you know what foolish thing you’ve done?”

Facing Hof’s questioning, Ba’erbo said nonchalantly, “You are the foolish one, not me!”

“Lord Marta promised me that as long as Ze Star was taken without bloodshed, he would not only spare all the Ze Clan, but also make me the new clan leader of the Ze Clan.”

“Now that I am the strongest in the Ze Clan, it is only natural for me to become the new clan leader.”

“I will lead the Ze Clan to glory.”

“You simply don’t know how benevolent Lord Marta is.”

“He not only rewarded me with an advanced Talent scroll, but also promised to give one-tenth of the space gem to the Ze Clan.”

“Resisting Lord Marta will only lead the Ze Clan to destruction.”

Hof was stunned.

He thought Ba’erbo was utterly foolish.

How could Marta, such a greedy Cosmic Beast, give up so much profit when he had the absolute advantage?

As if to corroborate Hof’s thoughts, Marta’s cold voice came from the spaceship, laughing, saying,

“Ba’erbo, you’ve done quite well.”

“It’s because of your cooperation that I was able to take Ze Star without bloodshed.”

“Don’t worry, I am extremely benevolent, and I will fulfill all my promises.”

“Now you are the new clan leader of the Ze Clan.”

“Alright, kneel down immediately and swear in the name of the Ze Clan leader to lead the entire Ze Clan to become my Slaves, Marta’s Slaves.”

“Be grateful to me, it is under my benevolence that all of the Ze Clan, except for one stubborn old fossil, will survive.”

Marta naturally was unwilling to give up one-tenth of the space gem as Ba’erbo’s reward.

He was also unwilling to let go of these six-armed mining experts in front of him.

So he chose a path that served both purposes, which was to take the Ze Clan, along with Ba’erbo, as his Slaves.

The things belonging to his Slaves were naturally his own things.

This way, the matter became a win-win situation.

Marta’s shameless words made Ba’erbo’s eyes widen instantly. He never expected things to develop to this point, and he exclaimed,

“Marta, you tricked me?”

“The Ze Clan cannot possibly become your Slaves! This is not what you originally promised.”

Marta said noncommittally, “I have fulfilled all the things I promised.”

“It’s just that before completely fulfilling my promise, I still need you to do one more thing for me.”

“Kneel down, and lead the entire Ze Clan to swear to become my Slaves.”

“I don’t want to say the same thing a third time.”

Marta’s words instantly made Ba’erbo feel utterly disheartened. He murmured, “No, it’s not like this. This isn’t what I imagined.”

“This is completely different from what was agreed upon before. The Ze Clan can never become Slaves.”

At this moment, a hint of determination suddenly flashed in Ba’erbo’s eyes.

He was indeed wrong.

And he was terribly wrong.

But at this most critical moment, he could make the most correct choice.

Thinking of this, Ba’erbo began to fully activate the planets within his inner world, causing them to rotate at an extremely high speed.

Explosion.

He wanted to create an explosion at the cost of his own life,

to tear open the Mental Power Net that enveloped the entire Ze Star, and blast a path to survival for the Ze Clan!

However, just as the nine planets were about to collide and explode, Ba’erbo was horrified to discover that his body had lost control.

He was completely unable to move.

The long- Brewing explosion naturally fizzled out, becoming a joke.

Not only that, but Ba’erbo was even more horrified to discover that the Mental Power Net covering the entire Ze Star began to rapidly contract.

It came at him like a sharp blade.

In his disbelieving eyes, the Mental Power Net directly pierced through his body, instantly cutting him into countless fragments.

He died with his eyes wide open!

At the same time, Marta’s cold voice came again, saying, “Ba’erbo, you truly disappoint me.”

“A path to survival was right before you, but you didn’t choose it. Instead, you chose the only path to death.”

How could Marta possibly let go of the variable that was Ba’erbo?

In fact, he had already left a contingency plan on Ba’erbo, precisely to control him at this most critical moment.

As if he had just casually killed an ant, Marta said disdainfully,

“What a waste, he can’t even handle such a simple task.”

“I now need a clan leader who can lead the entire Ze Clan to swear allegiance to me as my Slaves.”

“Whoever steps forward to do this for me will be the new clan leader of the Ze Clan.”

However, what answered Marta was endless silence.

Even when faced with the threat of death, the Ze Clan did not choose to compromise.

As long as they did not compromise, Marta could not forcibly take them as Slaves.

Just as Hof had said, even if the Ze Clan shed their last drop of blood, they would never become Slaves to other Cosmic Beasts.

Hof even sneered, “Marta, if it weren’t for your carefully crafted deception, you wouldn’t even be able to control Ba’erbo.”

“To think of making our Ze Clan your Slaves is truly wishful thinking.”

At this point, Hof looked sadly at the shattered Ba’erbo beside him, saying,

“Ba’erbo, how could I not know the truth that even you understood?”

“However, power gained through others is ultimately someone else’s power.”

“I still prefer to hold my own destiny in my hands.”

“It’s just a pity that I didn’t correct your mistaken ideas in time, leading the Ze Clan to its demise.”

“But it’s good, at least the Ze Clan didn’t become Slaves.”

“Even in death, the Ze Clan will die with dignity!”

At this point, Hof looked mockingly at Marta’s spaceship. He decided to annoy the other party one last time, saying,

“I, Hof, clan leader of the Ze Clan, master of Ze Star, hereby make a vow.”

“Whoever can help me eliminate Marta will gain ownership of Ze Star.”

“Ownership of countless space gems!”

The reason he said it was to annoy him was that Hof held no hope for this matter.

After all, all the beasts who could hear this sentence were Marta’s subordinates.

They knew Marta’s power and would never risk their lives to oppose him.

The ownership of Ze Star was indeed very tempting to beasts.

Countless space gems were equally tempting to beasts.

But the idea was good, the reality was cruel.

They were simply no match for Marta.

With the same thought, Marta laughed wildly, “Hof, you truly are pitiful.”

“Even at death’s door, you’re still dreaming such a pipe dream.”

“Kill me?”

“Who dares to kill me?”

“Ze Star is mine, and countless space gems are mine too!”

“Alright, alright, since you are so determined to die, then I shall grant your wish.”

“It’s just a matter of buying another batch of Slaves for mining; I, Marta, can afford that.”

It was no wonder Marta was so frenzied; at this moment, he could almost be considered to be at the peak of his beastly life.

Those were countless space gems.

After selling them, he would acquire an extremely terrifying amount of resources.

Even if most of it had to be handed over to Lord Marcelo, he would still get a very large share.

He would finally have the opportunity to advance to an even higher level.

Thinking of this, Marta unhesitatingly pressed the button in front of him.

As if triggering some mechanism, the previously calm Mental Power Net began to contract again.

It was actually attempting to eliminate all Ze Clan beasts at once.

For a moment, all the Ze Clan members were filled with despair.

That was a Mental Power Net that could instantly kill even Ba’erbo, who had Stellar Level 2 strength.

To deal with them, whose strength was merely Planetary-level?

It would be too easy.

However, at this very moment, an earth-shattering voice rang out, saying,

“Your Ze Star? Your space gem?”

“Without my permission, who gave you the courage to extend your claws towards what belongs to me?”

Talent: Sonic Wave (Extraordinary)!

Under the effect of the Sonic Wave Talent, Lin Tianwei’s voice spread throughout the entire space.

Even through the spaceship, it clearly reached the ears of every Cosmic Beast.

Lin Tianwei, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally took action.

The plot outside was so exciting that Lin Tianwei almost forgot that he was also in the thick of it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei’s massive body emerged from the mine shaft.

He felt it was time to step in and defend what belonged to him.

Outside, there were always beasts loudly proclaiming his things to be theirs.

And even more arrogantly shouted, “Who dares to kill me?”

Lin Tianwei felt that if he didn’t instantly kill him, he wouldn’t be doing justice to that arrogant attitude.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei directly unleashed his terrifying Mental Power.

It instantly condensed, forming an invisible Mental Power greatblade in front of him.

An invisible Mental Power greatblade ten thousand meters long.

This Mental Power greatblade was terrifying to the extreme.

As soon as it condensed into shape, it swung towards Marta’s location at an extremely fast speed.

It was also an invisible entity formed by Mental Power.

This Mental Power greatblade, however, easily broke through the tightening Mental Power Net as if cutting through melons and vegetables.

It carved a huge gap in the massive Mental Power Net.

And as if it had never encountered any obstruction, it swung towards Marta’s spaceship at an incredibly fast speed.

Marta’s pupils constricted.

He never expected such a change to occur in this seemingly foolproof situation.

A Cosmic Beast actually dared to snatch something already in his grasp?

And even brazenly declared that he would kill him?

Who exactly are you looking down on?

Marta was incredibly furious and quickly commanded, “Activate the defensive field, and ensure that the spaceship is not affected by the battle’s aftermath.”

“This foolish Cosmic Beast, I will personally go and slay him!” (End of Chapter)
