Chapter 482 Heber's Planet

Central Sol Star Cluster.

Stars twinkled, and a streak of light slashed diagonally across the universe, traversing the darkness. It was the Blacklight Lurker in warp. On board were only Han Xiao, Ames, and the two Hela sisters, a total of four people.

After many days of travel, the group finally arrived at Sol from Colton. During this time, they passed through many star systems via several stargates. At the entry stargate from Colton to Sol, they were even subjected to inspection by the stargate station.

The Klent Empire's management of the Sol Star Cluster was relatively strict, and checkpoints were set up at these inter-star cluster entry stargates.

The entry stargate crossed the desolate cosmic belt between the two star clusters, greatly saving time. Interstellar travelers with clean records would use the stargate. Those who traveled through the desolate cosmic belt were mostly wanted criminals and some clandestine forces, like stowaways.

The headquarters of the War Realm was located in a star system strongly controlled by the Klent Empire, which was also the central core star system of the Sol Star Cluster.

In the hall, Han Xiao looked at the location of the War Realm headquarters marked on the star chart and curled his lips.

"Heber's Star, tsk, actually named their headquarters after himself, really..." Han Xiao was about to make a comment, but suddenly remembered that he had done the same thing, and immediately changed his words, "Great minds think alike!"

"Are we almost there?" Aurora stared curiously at the star chart, realizing she couldn't understand it.

"We can end the warp in about ten minutes and twenty-seven seconds." Han Xiao looked at the operating interface fed back by Risda. The ship was now in autopilot, and the four of them were in the ship's hall.

"Teacher, is Heber's Star similar to Dragon Emperor Floating Island?" Aurora turned her head and asked.

Ames, who was lying sideways on the sofa with a noble and lazy air, smiled softly when she heard this and said, "It's different. Heber's Star cost more to build. It's an artificially modified planet, personally built by the Klent Empire, using the technology of a Star Cluster-level civilization. It's more like a mobile fortress, and it's Heber's second most powerful weapon."

The capabilities of a Star Cluster-level civilization far exceeded those of a Star System-level civilization. They were two completely different levels of existence. The most obvious difference was in mobility. Star Cluster civilizations could build stargates, and the distance they could travel in the universe was countless times greater than that of a Star System civilization.

At the same time, Star Cluster civilizations also had the technology to build planet-level warships. The most common type was the planet-level mining mothership, which directly "ate" a planet, internally decomposed it, and separated a planet into various resources.

Heber's Star was a planet-level space fortress built by the Klent Empire.

"Second strongest? What is the Overlord's strongest weapon?" Hela's expression was solemn. She was more interested in the abilities of the top experts in the Shattered Star Ring.

"The strongest weapon is of course his own body." Ames shook her head. "He can use his physical body to directly smash through a planet."

"How is that possible!" Aurora exclaimed.

Han Xiao had Phillip search for it and pulled up Heber's feats. There was more than one record of him smashing through planets. It was almost Heber's routine operation.

"Heber's body is extremely strong. Soil and rocks can't stop him. The high-density rock layers deep underground are like paper in front of him. Magma is his bathwater, and the temperature of the star core is not enough to burn him... Maybe a star can hurt him, but a planet can't, so smashing through a planet is not a challenge for him." Ames sighed.

Heber was almost her nemesis. Even the highest intensity force field could not tear Heber apart. Heber could move freely even under pressure. Even if she used Dragon Emperor Floating Island to ram him, it would be shattered by Heber's iron head. The nemesis of force field espers was this kind of indestructible enemy. After all, although force field abilities were comprehensive, they were more inclined to control. Relatively speaking, their destructive power was not their strength.

Although Ames did things as she pleased, she was not without self-awareness. She knew her weaknesses.

"..." Hela frowned and remained silent. Heber's strength temporarily exceeded her cognitive range, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Heber smashes through planets by focusing on a point, like a sniper bullet piercing through several layers of wooden boards." Han Xiao shook his head. Super-A Grade martial artists were truly terrifying.

After chatting for a while, the Blacklight Lurker finally left the warp state, and the light tunnel outside the porthole disappeared, returning to the scene of the universe.

Directly below the ship, a small iron-gray planet came into view, its color appearing somber and heavy.

Heber's Star!

Han Xiao received a communication request. It was an inquiry from Heber's Star. If they did not verify their identity and rashly stayed near Heber's Star, they would be regarded as enemies.

Ames had an invitation. After verifying her identity, Heber's Star sent docking coordinates, and Han Xiao had Risda control the ship to fly to the designated landing site.

Since Heber's Star was a mobile fortress, like Dragon Emperor Floating Island, it was in a constant state of movement, so there was no natural sunlight. The sky was covered with thick artificial black clouds to weaken cosmic radiation.

The ship slowly descended, and after penetrating the black clouds, a detailed view of the surface of Heber's Star came into view.

Heber's Star was dominated by cold and dark tones, with almost nothing fancy.

Castle-like buildings stood tall, and base groups resembled continuous mountain ranges. These buildings shone with faint blue light, inexplicably giving off a sense of futurism and mystery, with a strong technological feel. In the midst of the base groups, there were sparsely distributed huge hollow ring devices standing tall, one or two thousand meters high. The hollow rings glowed with purple light, undulating like ripples, as if they were playing some role.

Above the base groups, warships patrolled in groups.

This was a planet-level armed fortress!

Hela and Aurora couldn't help but marvel.

The Blacklight Lurker landed on a dock between the base groups. The group got off the ship and saw a team of people waiting there. They were all soldiers from the War Realm, led by Vanguard Officer Mazat.

"Your Excellency Dragon Emperor, thank you for accepting the invitation. Welcome to the War Realm."

Mazat gave a common bow. He was the one who personally delivered Ames' invitation.

Ames was noncommittal. She looked at the surrounding environment and chuckled, "It's been a long time since I've been here. It's still as monotonous and boring as ever. Heber really has no taste."

"Warships and fortresses are the best decorations."

Mazat replied. Then he saw Han Xiao beside Ames, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly, "Black Star, I said, we will meet again soon."

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and pretended to be stupid, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

"..."

Everyone looked over and stared at him.

"Okay, I'm just kidding." Han Xiao grinned.

The people in the War Realm were really interesting. As soon as they met, they tried to sow discord. Mazat deliberately used this ambiguous way of speaking to imply that he had met Black Star in private.

Han Xiao had not told Ames that he had contacted Mazat, and Ames had been poached before. Because of this past experience, she should be very sensitive to this. If she knew that her capable cadre was meeting with the War Realm in private, she probably wouldn't give him a good look.

Mazat looked like a mindless brute, but he didn't expect his heart to be a little dirty.

Okay, I'll remember this grudge.
