Chapter 283: 152, Second Cosmic!_4
Amidst the vast expanse of yellow sand in front of the spaceship,
a tall man with white hair stood suspended in the air, looking down at a corner of the spacecraft below. Beneath the pallid, bone-like mask, a hint of confusion shone from his ice-blue eyes.
He frowned and glanced at the chaotic crowd of Earth people below, speaking out, “Everyone disperse.”
The panicked crowd immediately scattered, and the green-skinned thugs who saw this also dared not stop them.
The white-haired man with the bone mask landed in front of the spaceship’s hatch and said coldly, “Ship brothers, Bichinaer, what happened?”
A beam of light swept over, and only then did the ship’s hatch automatically open.
“Esteemed Mr. Bai Zhou.”
A mechanical voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation sounded: “I am the intelligent system of the Hilot. Just five minutes ago, the owner and Mr. Bichinaer were both murdered.”
“What?” Bai Zhou furrowed his brow.
Immediately following the intelligent ship’s guidance, he entered the spacecraft, with the closed passageway doors automatically opening in his path. Soon, he arrived inside the forward cabin.
Looking at the gory scene inside the cabin, Bai Zhou frowned and said, “The surveillance? Replay everything that just happened.”
The intelligent system immediately controlled the lighting and began projecting and replaying everything that had taken place within the ship.
Starting from when that dark silhouette appeared within the ship, moving through the corridors at a terrifying speed, and entering the forward cabin, wherein a moment it exploded the ship brothers and Bichinaer.
Bai Zhou slowly furrowed his brow.
Although the ship’s surveillance could only reproduce the changes in the light and sound within the ship and replay them in the form of holographic projections, unable to recreate telekinesis, he could still analyze from the sluggish reactions of the ship brothers and Bichinaer.
Then, large chunks of flesh and blood began to move, taking about ten seconds to resurrect Bichinaer.
“A Holy Text that can resurrect?”
Bai Zhou slightly narrowed his eyes, “Bichinaer was hiding such a move?”
He knew that Bichinaer possessed two sets of Chaotic Series Holy Texts, which could provide a flame that scorches the soul and an extremely powerful force.
In terms of strength, although Bichinaer was only an Awakened Being, he was also close to the level of an Upper Minister of the Inspection Headquarters.
But… to be completely defenseless?
“Perhaps stronger than me…”
Bai Zhou, frowning, had to admit.
With his strength, although he could achieve this, it certainly wouldn’t be as effortlessly as the dark silhouette.
“However, such strength isn’t enough to forcefully break through a Fifth-tier Material spaceship. How did it escape?”
Bai Zhou continued to watch the playback.
After darkness expanded and enveloped the entire forward cabin, and as the dark abated, the dark silhouette had also disappeared.
Bai Zhou was momentarily taken aback, watching the scene incredulously, “This… how did he leave? A Space Ability? Impossible?”
As far as he knew, once it involved space, that would have already surpassed the highest power level of Earth.
The highest power level on Earth was the Eighth Energy Level, but it was only from the Ninth Energy Level that the Six Great Sects began to involve space. Logically, this kind of ability shouldn’t exist.
“No, this person deliberately obscured the lighting, obviously hiding his method of leaving.”
Bai Zhou slightly shook his head, “This would originally be suspected to be a Space Ability, given the deliberate concealment, it must be another ability…”
Regardless, this outcome made him understand one thing—
He was doomed not to find this dark silhouette; even if he did, he couldn’t do anything for now.
“Why kill the ship brothers and Bichinaer?”
Bai Zhou pondered with a frown, “They were just about to meet with Lin Qing, an Earth person, today to jointly explore the Celestial Vault Islands, but they were killed immediately? Because of the Earth Treasure?”
Although he knew that the ship brothers had captured some Patrol members and a group of Earth Natives, such a minor matter wasn’t worth killing over and forfeiting the chance to collaborate, right?
Not to mention, he knew that Lin Qing had just achieved Divine Position.
Not only was Lin Qing’s strength far from sufficient, but as a Commander, he specialized only in long-range attacks.
Therefore, he would not suspect Lin Qing at all.
“Intelligent Star Group? Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall? Dawn Group? Black Martial Military Resources Company? Expeditionary Association? Top Three Families?”
Bai Zhou could think of, with such strength, it would be the forces of the urban circle.
The slightly inferior forces within the urban circle might not even match him.
“Perhaps it was preemptive removal of a threat…”
Lin Qing looked at the projection of Xu Shaofeng in shocked disbelief, asking, “The ship brothers and Bichinaer are dead? Wasn’t today the day we agreed to meet and talk?”
Xu Shaofeng sighed and shook his head, “I don’t know the specifics either; this is what Bai Zhou said. He said… the person who acted is very strong, if not an Original-level Cleric, then a High-level Primordial Creature with a Basic Divine Position.”
Lin Qing understood what he meant.
Without considering Holy Texts and Divine Skills, Clerics of the Original level could be divided into three ranks.
The First Rank, containing ordinary Primordial Creatures with Basic Divine Position.
The Second Rank, containing High-level Primordial Creatures with Basic Divine Position.
The Third Rank, High-level Primordial Creatures with Original-level Divine Position!
Generally, only top High-level Primordial Creatures possessing Basic Divine Position would have a shot at obtaining an Original-level Divine Position.
Relying on strong foundations and Black Flame Burning, a Black Flame Clone essentially could match High-level Primordial Creatures, and with the Divine Position of a Primordial Demon, its strength became equivalent to the Second Rank.
But the gap with an Original-level Cleric was still significant.
This power… while not considered Second Rank in the entire urban circle, was still regarded as quite good.
