Chapter 1

The Fallen Ark's members were wanted criminals from all over the star clusters. Some were fanatical followers of the Heterogeneous God, while others sought his protection. These thugs only respected powerhouses of the Heterogeneous God's caliber and were insubordinate to each other.

Now that the Heterogeneous God was gone, without a strong leader, no one was qualified to be the boss. These criminals, lacking discipline and cohesion, lost interest in continuing to band together.

Without the Heterogeneous God's deterrent force, these criminals knew that the three great civilizations would target them next, launching a large-scale cleansing of the Central Star Sea's desolate universe belt to eliminate their gang that had been entrenched for many years.

After the Heterogeneous God fell, this criminal paradise, renowned throughout the universe, rapidly collapsed irreversibly. Criminals left the organization in batches, and the powerful Fallen Ark disintegrated, splitting into countless small groups. The secret production bases built on desolate planets were looted by members who left the organization.

The Central Star Sea's desolate universe belt was originally dominated by the Fallen Ark, maintaining a delicate gray order. Now, this lawless zone had become even more chaotic and dangerous. Criminals killed each other and plundered each other, a drama playing out in different areas at every moment.

At this moment, thousands of battleships were fighting around a desolate planet.

This planet was one of the Heterogeneous God's secret research bases, storing valuable data, technology, and special products. The thousands of battleships in combat belonged to dozens of breakaway criminal groups. Each group's goal was to seize the results of this research base, and one of the groups was Shazik's forces.

The outer space of the planet was a fierce interstellar battlefield. Most of these battleships were not equipped with dark energy annihilation weapons, but used the next level of naval gun technology. Hot plasma beams crisscrossed, dyeing the velvet-like universe space into a colorful canvas. One after another, small and medium-sized battleships of different models were penetrated by plasma cannons, their hulls melted, and their armor melted into a bright red mixture of solid and liquid metal, turning into patches of metallic clouds of ever-changing shapes, becoming obstacles in the battlefield.

The battle lasted for a while, and finally a winner emerged. Shazik's gang was one of the victors, and they looted the research base with the others, leaving satisfied.

...

A dark blade gently sliced across the throat, a crack bloomed, and warm, bright red blood spurted out, splattering on the blood-stained cabin walls of the spaceship.

Thump!

A gray-skinned creature with dense compound eyes on its face clutched its bleeding neck and fell, exposing the murderer standing behind him.

The murderer was a humanoid creature wielding a long knife, with a thin frame, wearing a hood and a black mechanical mask, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes.

This was a tattered cabin, the walls covered with smooth cut marks, sparking with sizzling electricity. The ground was littered with hundreds of corpses of different species, the ground congealed with colorful blood scabs, and the walls were covered with blood spatter. Only the murderer stood in the field.

"One hundred and fifteen thousand, seven hundred..."

The murderer's voice was hoarse, like an old bellows. He flicked his wrist, shaking off the blood on the long knife, sheathed it backhand, then pressed his mechanical watch, pulled up the address book, and sent a message to a number marked "Employer."

"Target eliminated."

Soon, the employer sent a voice message, full of excitement and gratitude:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Rotel, thank you for helping us avenge. Without you, we would never..."

"Just a transaction, remember to pay."

Rotel replied lightly.

He was a lone bounty assassin, but his hunting targets were limited to members of the Fallen Ark.

Rotel was born on a colony star of an advanced civilization, growing up in a quiet and peaceful environment. One day, however, the Fallen Ark's fleet descended, bringing death and destruction.

He thought he was doomed, but he didn't know that he had a good ability hidden in his body, awakening in a crisis, escaping the fate of being killed... But resistance was futile, because with his ability, he was captured by the members of the Fallen Ark and offered as a sacrifice to the Heterogeneous God.

Therefore, Rotel faced the Heterogeneous God directly. The newly awakened ability was taken away, and the whole person became a dying mummy, dying, his life like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any time.

Generally, people who have their abilities taken away by the Heterogeneous God are eventually made into food or thrown into the universe. Perhaps it was the favor of the goddess of luck that Rotel and his batch of "dregs" were all thrown into the universe. Ordinary people could not survive in the universe, but he found that although he had lost his ability, when he just awakened, the ability had already transformed his body, allowing him to survive in the environment of space.

After the Fallen Ark troops left, the civilization's rescue troops arrived before Rotel died, and Rotel became the only survivor. He harbored a deep hatred for the Heterogeneous God and the Fallen Ark. Driven by hatred, Rotel, who had lost his ability and become a mortal again, went through untold hardships and embarked on the path of martial arts, becoming a superpower once again.

After training, Rotel became a bounty assassin.

The members of the Fallen Ark were all wanted criminals who had defected to the Heterogeneous God's forces to escape the pursuit of the major civilizations, living freely outside the law. Rotel specialized in hunting down these wanted criminals with criminal records, making these self-proclaimed safe fugitives repay their blood debts. The employers were often victims of the Fallen Ark.

To this day, the number of Fallen Ark wanted criminals who died under Rotel's knife had reached six figures, but Rotel was not satisfied with this. He tempered his strength like an ascetic monk in order to complete the ultimate goal hidden in his heart—to assassinate the Heterogeneous God!

The experience of facing the Heterogeneous God in the beginning had always been his nightmare, bringing him endless fear, causing him to wake up from sleep countless times, but even knowing it was impossible, he had not given up on this ultimate goal.

Ignoring the corpses all over the floor, Rotel was about to turn around and walk to the spaceship's operating room when the communicator suddenly received a breaking news report, which was a joint statement from the three great civilizations.

"The Heterogeneous God has been caught?"

Rotel's expression changed, he stopped, and carefully read the news.

After a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a little lost for a moment, a sense of confusion of losing his target arose in his heart.

But soon, Rotel's eyes became firm again, and he muttered to himself:

"The guy who caught the Heterogeneous God, is Black Star..."

...

On a habitable planet, there lived a group of interstellar immigrants. The mother planet of this group was blown into a dead planet by the Heterogeneous God, and less than one in ten survivors had no choice but to migrate to a new home.

When the news of the Heterogeneous God's capture reached this group, all the people wept with joy.

"The Heterogeneous God has finally been captured!"

"Wuwuwu... We've been waiting for this day for too long!"

"Praise Black Star!"

"May Black Star be immortal!"

The same scene was staged on many planets at the same time.

...

The news of the Heterogeneous God's capture caused a frenzy. In addition to the cheering civilizations and interstellar citizens, certain secret organizations were also alarmed.

"The Heterogeneous God was too brutal, I knew he would have this day sooner or later."

"Without the Heterogeneous God, the Fallen Ark will cease to exist. No one will continue to attract the firepower of the three great civilizations for us, which is not good for us."

"Continue to keep a low profile, accumulate strength, we are not as high-profile as the Heterogeneous God, and will not be targeted."

"Actually, this is also an opportunity to take over the Heterogeneous God's legacy and subordinates to strengthen our power."

"Well, send someone to the Central Star Sea. Many forces are eyeing this opportunity, we must not fall behind."

There were many ambitious organizations in the universe that also belonged to the chaotic and evil camp. The disintegration of the Fallen Ark was a celebration for normal people, but for them, it was a feast for dividing up the Heterogeneous God's assets!

...

Outside Hailan Star, the Longtan Floating Island Palace.

Aimes stood on the edge of the floating island, overlooking the panorama of Hailan Star, starlight reflecting in her eyes.

Footsteps sounded behind her, gradually approaching. Aimes turned her head and saw Isora walking to her side.

"Something big happened." Isora shook his head, "The Heterogeneous God has been caught by the three great civilizations."

"What's going on?" Aimes raised her eyebrows.

"See for yourself."

Isora handed the communicator to Aimes.

After browsing it, Aimes handed the communicator back to Isora and chuckled.

"He really can't stay idle for a moment."

"Black Star has done another big thing, he's getting more and more powerful." Isora said with some emotion.

He had a long life and had experienced the Heterogeneous God's most insane years, and was very afraid of the Heterogeneous God. He didn't expect this guy to fall into the hands of a new Beyond Grade A.

Although this was a group fight, he also saw Han Xiao's network and influence from the lineup of the three great civilizations' joint team. Even when he was a member of the Ancient Ones, he probably didn't have as much face as Han Xiao.

"Yes, he's getting stronger and stronger."

Aimes' smile faded, and she suddenly fell silent. She still remembered fighting the Heterogeneous God with Black Star in the beginning. The Heterogeneous God's power impressed her deeply. Now the Heterogeneous God had fallen into Han Xiao's hands, and Han Xiao's strength had steadily surpassed her.

Although she didn't deliberately pursue power, she still felt a little complicated when she saw her former subordinate catch up with her.

She used to be high above, and later Black Star reached Beyond Grade A, on an equal footing with her, and now, whether it was status, power, influence or personal strength, Black Star had surpassed her in all aspects, completing the reversal under her gaze.

Although her strength had improved, it was largely due to the enhancements Black Star had given her with the Evolutionary Cube.

The positions of the two had been reversed.

Aimes stretched slightly, her tall figure stretched out, and she breathed a sigh of relief:

"I seem to have been too lazy in recent years, and neglected to exercise. It's time to find a time to have a good fight with Black Star."

...

As the news fermented throughout the universe, Han Xiao, who was on his way back, also received the long-awaited notification.

[You have gained 1 point of Legend.]

[Universal Legend: The Fall of the Heterogeneous God—The "Master of the Fallen Ark" who was notorious throughout the universe and the "Slaughterer of Living Beings" Heterogeneous God has been rampant for many years. Finally, the three great civilizations captured him. As a participant and leader, countless races are grateful for your contribution and remember your name.]

"Universal Legend? Ho, the Heterogeneous God's notoriety is really deeply rooted in people's hearts." Han Xiao smacked his lips in wonder.

As one of the ultimate bosses in the chaotic and evil camp, the Heterogeneous God still had a lot of prestige. The sensation of capturing him was no less than the Beacon Star battle, and his influence covered the entire universe, so he gave the highest level of Legend.

Turning off the notification, Han Xiao opened the forum and took a look. The players were also discussing the Heterogeneous God's fall.

The reputation he gained from this incident seemed to have also affected the players' experiences.
