False Court
Chapter 925 Escort
Su Mo's face twitched uncontrollably at Xia Weiya's words. He didn't know what to say.
Before long, Xia Weiya led Su Mo to Hangar 1 of the Gidorah Planetary Fortress. There, docked, was a 170-kilometer-long star destroyer. Its armor was a water-blue color, with faint wave patterns running across its surface. At the bow was an extended, azure meteor cannon. Rows of neat launch ports were densely packed across the ship's hull. The entire ship was exceptionally beautiful, as exquisite as a work of art.
At the star destroyer's boarding entrance, two rows of fully armed soldiers stood waiting in formation.
They saw Xia Weiya and immediately snapped to attention and saluted, their movements clean and efficient.
"Escorted by a star destroyer? I feel like I'm getting special treatment. There's no need to make such a fuss. It's a waste. If I wanted to run, I would have already done it," Su Mo said with emotion.
"It's alright, it's not a waste at all. You deserve the Star Destroyer Haiwen. No need to say more, get on board!" Xia Weiya said with a smile, gesturing for Su Mo to board. She was really giving him face.
"Okay." Su Mo walked onto the ship expressionlessly.
Then everyone boarded, and the entrance sealed shut.
Soon after, the Haiwen slowly took off.
...
Outer Rim of the Ring of Stars Sea, Grey Zone.
Countless meteorites drifted through space. Hidden behind them were special magnetic storm mines, their green lights flashing.
The entire area was a natural "no entry" zone!
In the deepest part of the area, the space rippled like ocean waves, like a transparent surface of water.
At the end of the starry sky stood a massive, pitch-black metal fortress resembling a spiky sea urchin. Its surface was covered in sharp black metal spikes, countless giant cannons, and launch ports. Inscribed on its surface were vivid, ferocious patterns, and countless dried corpses hung from it—humans and monsters alike. At first glance, it sent chills down one's spine and inspired fear.
This fortress was the Endless Deep Space Prison built by the Ring of Stars City.
Inside an extremely luxurious room, a fat man, two meters tall and weighing at least three hundred jin, wearing black V-type combat armor, tore off a leg of some unknown creature and took a huge bite, chewing loudly as he swallowed. Immediately after, he grabbed a seven- or eight- jin, snow-white insect gall, tore it in half, and started gnawing on it.
Just then, a subordinate hurried in.
"Warden Feizake, sir!"
"Can't you see I'm eating?" Feizake slammed his hands on the table and roared in anger.
He hated being disturbed when he was eating the most.
"It's not that, Warden Feizake, sir, a new batch of prisoners is about to be transferred here. You need to receive them!" the subordinate said, his face pale.
"Tsk, when did these trivial matters need me to handle them personally?"
"Warden, sir, it's not that. There's an extra prisoner this time, and he's very troublesome."
"How troublesome can he be? No matter who it is, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he'd have to crawl here! If they don't listen, there are plenty of ways to make them obedient!" Feizake didn't care at all.
"No, Warden, sir, this person is super troublesome. He almost sank the Gidorah Planetary Fortress." The subordinate swallowed hard as he reported.
Feizake's eyes bulged when he heard this. He gasped, "What! Almost sank the Gidorah Planetary Fortress? Who is this guy? I thought SSS-class wanted criminal Mondokes was already invincible, but I didn't expect this guy to be even more courageous?"
"The most troublesome thing is, this guy hasn't even been judged yet. He's just temporarily detained here. He'll be taken away later."
"Isn't this sending me a bomb? Who brought him here? Send him back!" Feizake replied, shocked and angry.
Such a dangerous guy being sent here before his trial? How was he supposed to handle this? Lock him in the deepest level? That didn't seem to be in accordance with the rules. If he didn't lock him in the deepest level, what would happen if something went wrong?
"I'm afraid we can't send him back. The order to detain him was issued by Commander Kailas, and the escort was carried out by Royal Order's Xia Weiya." The reporting subordinate said nervously.
Feizake suddenly stood up, his expression like an angry Vajra.
"Warden, sir, calm down!" The subordinates present all advised in fear.
"Calm down my ass! What are you waiting for? Go and greet that shrew Xia Weiya! That shrew is the most vindictive! Don't let her gentle smile fool you."
"Ah! Yes, yes..."
...
In the starry sky, guided by beacon ships, starships traversed the asteroid field, passed through a spatial isolation fault, and arrived at the Endless Deep Space Prison.
Inside a lounge of the Haiwen, Su Mo was devouring a lavish lunch.
There were all kinds of seafood, chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
Xia Weiya watched Su Mo eat with great interest. She said, "Eat more. You won't have anything to eat once you get into the Endless Deep Space Prison."
"Okay, thank you so much for preparing such a lavish meal for me." Su Mo ate heartily.
"These days, it's rare to see someone with such a good mental state as you. You can even enjoy this last meal so much." The more Xia Weiya looked at Su Mo, the more she liked him.
"I still believe that the Ring of Stars City is just and won't wrong a good person. Do you want to eat some too? I can't finish it all alone." Su Mo looked up, his eyes calm, and said to Xia Weiya.
"No need, you can enjoy it yourself." Xia Weiya refused indifferently.
At this moment, a subordinate walked in and respectfully reported, "Lady Xia Weiya, we are about to enter the Endless Deep Space Prison. It's time to prepare for the transfer of the prisoner."
"Understood." Xia Weiya replied lightly.
"I'm done eating." Hearing this, Su Mo swallowed the delicious food in his mouth. Then he picked up the paper towel next to him to wipe his mouth and held out his hands.
"Let's go!" Xia Weiya picked up the special magnetic handcuffs and put them back on Su Mo.
...
Inside the Endless Deep Space Prison hangar, Feizake personally led twelve grim-faced prison officers, standing at the transfer point.
At this time, the boarding entrances of other ships transporting prisoners opened one after another.
Officers of the Ring of Stars City escorted vicious prisoners out. Each of these criminals had an extremely arrogant expression on their faces, completely disregarding their situation.
Only a few prisoners were mentally exhausted, nervously looking around, as if they had arrived in a terrifying hell.
Although this was a hangar, it was a little different from a conventional one. Countless weapons were mounted on the metal ceiling above, all of them activated, their black barrels pointed at each of the prisoners below.
In the surrounding area, puppet-like mechanical weapons moved about. These puppets were equipped with a large number of alloy blades all over their bodies, radiating a sharp, cold light.
