Chapter 356: Chapter 221: Cosmic Pirates, The Mysterious Person (4000 Words)_2
The Kid Star People, cosmic pirates wandering the Milky Way!
After their failed invasion of Earth, they turned their sights on the complexly divided Monster Planet.
Surviving among the fissures of various powers is far easier than risking sneaking into Earth.
"Hahaha, don’t rush. If you want the Breakthrough Potion, you’ll have to wait until I retrieve the Titan King Kong from his space storage, then refine it into the potion and give it to you."
The Kid Star person pointed to Qin Shou’s Space Wristwatch, a strange smile on his face.
The young man’s expression turned grim. "What do you mean? You never had the Breakthrough Potion before. You tricked me!"
"No, no, no, Chen Yizhou, we Kid Star People aren’t like you Earth people, who often go back on our word. If I say I’ll give you the potion, I will."
With that, the Kid Star person gestured slightly towards the corpse, and several Ant Beasts scurried over to remove Qin Shou’s Space Wristwatch, delivering it into the Kid Star person’s hands.
His face lit with excitement, eager to examine the King Kong stored within the Space Wristwatch.
The Titan Giant Beasts—never before had the Kid Star people captured a living one.
As long as he could obtain the complete data of this King Kong, he might break through the current bottleneck in Beast Cultivation Technology and create even more perfect Monsters.
He had been planning for a long time to acquire this King Kong.
As a Kid Star person, it was exceedingly difficult for him to infiltrate Earth and abduct Qin Shou.
Instead, he had secretly contacted Chen Yizhou, who harbored a vendetta of fratricide against Qin Shou, monitoring Qin Shou’s every move on Earth.
Upon learning that Qin Shou had arrived on Monster Planet, he could hardly contain his urge to act—he had even recklessly elevated Chen Yizhou to the Unbreakable Realm to expedite his plan.
Yet human plans are no match for fate. Before he could lure Qin Shou out of the Earth Base City, the kid miraculously ventured out on his own.
However, Qin Shou’s battle achievements at Earth Base City raised alarm among the naturally suspicious Kid Star people.
A Vajra Realm Earth human commanding a Nightmare-level Breeding Beast exceeded the strength of an average Unbreakable Realm One-star Mecha Master.
This made him hesitate.
If he struck, he had to succeed without fail; failure would undoubtedly bring Earth’s Base City’s devastating retaliation.
So, on the journey, he unleashed Centipede Monsters repeatedly to gather cultivation data on Qin Shou’s beasts, aiming for a guaranteed lethal strike.
The array of breeding beasts controlled by Qin Shou further shocked him.
Earth’s Beast Cultivation Technology largely originated from the Kid Star people.
Being able to command so many breeding beasts simultaneously without suffering backlash...
This kid’s secret extended far beyond just owning King Kong.
When Qin Shou passed through White Bone Mountain, his excitement overrode all caution—leaving Qin Shou behind became imperative.
The Kid Star person stared at the Space Wristwatch in his palm, greed flashing across his face as his body trembled with excitement.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent gust surged. The scorching energy emanating from behind startled the Kid Star person wide awake.
"You brat, I knew you’d try to ambush me!"
He roared furiously, yanking the gemstone necklace from his neck.
"Buzz!!"
A white Energy Shield unfolded with a hum, and the fiery explosion blasted forth, its shockwaves enveloping a radius of over a thousand meters, consuming Qin Shou’s body and the mangled snail shell.
"Hiss!!"
In the next moment, the Bone Mountain churned, ten black Centipedes scrambling out from the stark white skeleton remains, surging toward the Energy Explosion Center.
Chen Yizhou’s failed strike left his expression twisted with fury as his figure blurred into a phantom, retreating rapidly into his mecha.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Controlling Storm Red, he channeled Talent Energy into the Mecha’s energy source. The mechanical arms unleashed dense Energy Beams, repelling the encroaching black Centipedes.
"Boom..."
The mecha’s energy jets fired fiercely, propelling him skyward as he struggled to escape.
"Damn it, the Kid Star people are truly tough to deal with. Such a pity for all those treasures of Qin Shou..."
Chen Yizhou’s face twisted with savagery; at this point, revenge was no longer his sole motive.
"Survival..."
He muttered under his breath, his mind flashing back to the final words of Chen Xinghe.
"I won’t just survive; I’ll live better than anyone else. The fallen Chen Family will rise again because of me!"
"I will make it happen!"
He shouted aloud to vent his emotions, activating the innate Talent Ability within him. Storm Red accelerated further, inching closer to breaking free of the Centipedes’ encirclement.
"Beep..."
Suddenly, the virtual screen inside the cockpit flickered, a familiar figure appearing before him.
"Hello, Chen Yizhou. You’ve colluded with the Kid Star people to harm humanity—your crimes are irrefutable. Your ambitions will never be realized."
Chen Yizhou’s face contorted with shock upon seeing the figure on the screen.
"Qin Shou... you... you’re alive!"
On screen, Qin Shou shrugged and smiled. "Certainly. Dying because of your schemes would be such a disgrace."
"You... even if you’re not dead, so what?"
Chen Yizhou snarled furiously, "This isn’t Earth. Monster Planet is riddled with interference signals from magnetic fields. Your evidence won’t get out!"
Qin Shou had an epiphany. "Oh, so that’s how it is. Then what to do?
Oh well, I’ll just handle it myself!"
As his words fell, the cockpit was suddenly bathed in crimson alert warnings.
"Beep... Warning: Unknown virus detected in the system..."
"Beep... System rebooting; returning to battlefield..."
"Beep... Initiating self-destruct sequence... countdown underway..."
"Beep... Escape Pod launch failed..."
The synthesized mechanical voice rang repeatedly, and Chen Yizhou screamed in disbelief.
"Impossible... What’s happening...?"
"It’s the Intelligent System!"
He suddenly remembered—it was the very Intelligent System used by Chen Xinghe that had caused the Chen Family to be suppressed and ruined by the entire Federation.
