After Spy Number One finished his report, it was Spy Number Two's turn.
"Commander, after infiltrating the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group, I gradually demonstrated some skills and talents, garnering the attention of an Intermediate Mentor. Now I have become a member of the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group. Not long ago, I locked onto another Intermediate Mentor, planning to find a time to eliminate him and take over his identity. Advanced Mentors are at least Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses, and I am not their match yet."
"Take steady steps; don’t act recklessly."
"With my current identity, most of the intelligence I’ve gathered is trivial. However, a few days ago, I accidentally overheard a conversation between an Intermediate Mentor and another Advanced Mentor. They seemed to have mentioned... the Milky Way."
Su Chen's eyes lit up. Honestly, he was very interested in the Milky Way; after all, it was the namesake of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Milky Way, spanning across a Large Galaxy, was a sight to behold, unique within human-occupied star fields.
"What about the Milky Way?"
"It seems they said that the Rota Empire Imperial Star, which was initially engulfed by the Milky Way, hasn't been completely destroyed. It's still resisting and sending out messages, asking for reinforcements."
Hearing this, Su Chen almost laughed out loud.
It was probably only due to the desperate resistance of a Large Galaxy-level Powerhouse on the Imperial Star that it has survived until now. Any other planet would have been obliterated within minutes.
"What's the situation over there now?"
"I am sorry, Commander, their conversation was blocked afterwards, I did not catch it. Once I become an Intermediate Mentor, I should be eligible to know."
Su Chen didn't press further. Spy Number Two had done well. Not just these two spies; all the other spies were also making efforts, even though their achievements were not as significant as these two.
Both spies had sent back vital information, but the Rota Empire's Imperial Star was too distant. Given the current speed of expansion, it might take more than half a year to extend the empire's domain to the location of the Imperial Star.
"Let’s go see the Dark God now, hoping it hasn’t disappeared yet."
When Su Chen arrived at the base closest to the Dark God, he could see from afar the body of the Dark God, but it was somewhat ethereal, nearly vanishing from existence.
"Well, you're not dead yet?"
Su Chen greeted the Dark God with a smile. Around the Dark God, an entire fleet was stationed, guarding the area to prevent any unexpected sabotage from the Chronolegionair Legion Soldiers' attack.
Confused, the Dark God opened his eyes, looking at Su Chen.
As his figure became more ghostlike, his strength declined, and the ability that was once unbearable to look upon nearly failed.
"Despicable humans, if it weren’t for this strange weapon, I would crush you effortlessly!" the confused Dark God roared.
Yet, his seductive powers failed to cause even a ripple in Su Chen's gaze.
"In fact, you have been defeated by this weapon, haven't you?"
The Dark God, left with nothing to retort, sensed that his avatar was close to disappearing. Once this avatar died, his true body would suffer immense damage.
"Human, state your purpose." The Dark God was not foolish; he knew Su Chen wouldn't have come without reason.
Su Chen snapped his fingers, and a Small Galaxy first-order Energy Crystal appeared before the Dark God, absorbed in the blink of an eye, delaying his disappearance slightly.
"I appreciate straightforward beings—ah, Dark Gods too. I'm here to learn one thing: the relationship between your Dark Gods and the Shadow Hall."
"You've come into contact with the Shadow Hall?" The Dark God was somewhat surprised, but his face remained expressionless, "Even if I say there's no relationship between the Shadow Hall and us, I guess you wouldn’t believe it. I am not entirely clear on the specifics, but there are members of the Dark God race within the Shadow Hall."
Not wanting this avatar to vanish, the Dark God disclosed some information, knowing that only related intelligence could appeal to this human.
"Can you contact the Dark God inside the Shadow Hall?" Su Chen seemed interested.
"I can, but not in my current state." The Dark God's implication was clear—he needed those soldiers to lower their weapons.
Su Chen chuckled inwardly, not trusting the Dark God’s words would be folly.
True to their seductive nature, every word from the Dark God was laced with pitfalls, suggesting that Su Chen set him free in such a roundabout way.
"It seems you are unwilling to cooperate." Su Chen made a regretful expression, preparing to leave the area.
The Dark God panicked immediately; he had been awaiting Su Chen's offer. He had sensed that this human was different, appearing neither servile nor overbearing before him, and not seduced by his power.
"Wait! Even if I disappear, the Dark God behind the Shadow Hall will not stop!" The Dark God hurriedly shouted.
Su Chen stopped, turning around with a faint smile, "You seem to have something to say?"
The Dark God finally gave in, "I can contact him, but... I need to recover to my peak state."
A Small Galaxy second-order Energy Crystal appeared in Su Chen's hand, dangling it before the Dark God teasingly.
"But I don't want to feed a beast that will turn around and bite me."
The Dark God took a deep breath, "I can swear on the River of Time; I will not harm you or the Star Spirits. Is that sufficient?"
Su Chen’s smile deepened, the Energy Crystal in his hand shimmering with a seductive light.
