Between Low-rank God and Mid-rank Gods, there is a three-tiered Combat Strength gap. A newly ascended One-Star Mid-rank God possesses Combat Strength a thousand times greater than a newly ascended Five-Star Low-rank God. If gods above five stars are further divided into individual stars, then the Combat Strength of One-Star Mid-rank God would be roughly equivalent to that of an eight-star Low-rank God.

However, each level of deity is only divided into five ranks. Above the five-star level, there is no distinction between six-star and seven-star. Therefore, the difference in strength among deities below the five-star level is also significant. The weak ones are those who have just entered the ranks and only have the combat Combat Strength of a five-star deity, while the strong ones are comparable to the Combat Strength an eight-star deity and have the strength to fight against Mid-rank God.

Queen is the strongest among the Five-Star Low-rank God. Even before becoming a god, she possessed monstrous talent, and having reached the peak of the Five-Star Low-rank God early on, she dares to fight even Two-Star Mid-rank God. Even though she only deployed Will Projection of one-tenth of her Combat Strength this time, and her weapons and some Special Divine Power were unusable, her Combat Strength still surpasses many peak-level Low-rank God. As long as she doesn't encounter Mid-rank God, she is essentially invincible.

Gu Ding was naturally unaware of the opponent's formidable strength, because even Elizabeth didn't know just how powerful Queen was. She had only heard of Queen's name and knew he was a Five-Star Low-rank God, but that was all; she and Queen had never even met. She had only mentioned to Gu Ding that the Fei Me Universe Country was guarded by a Five-Star Low-rank God.

Upon hearing the Sea Emperor say that the will of Five-Star God Will Projection over, Gu Ding immediately dialed Dokter's number. Dokter answered the call after less than two rings.

"How did it go? Was it successful?" Dokter was waiting for news from Gu Ding at the hotel.

"Elizabeth is already healing Bigge. You need to come to the port immediately. A divine Will Projection here; it's Five-Star Low-rank God. We are no match for it and must leave this planet as soon as possible." Gu Ding's tone was somewhat anxious.

"Five stars?!" Dokter was also startled. He never expected that the guardian of the Fei Me Universe Country would have such strength. "I'm at the hotel now. It will take at least twenty minutes to get there. The Will Projection can be completed in just three minutes. You should leave now. Don't wait for me. I'll find another spaceship to go."

"It's too dangerous for you to stay on this planet alone..." Gu Ding was interrupted by Dokter before he could finish speaking.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Nobody knows I joined your Pirate Crew, so even if your identity is exposed, it won't implicate me. Besides, I still have the disguise mask you gave me. Bigge's treatment can't be interrupted; I'm the doctor, and you have to listen to me on this matter. The Five-Star God are already an unparalleled Combat Strength in the Fei Me Universe Country. You must leave this planet immediately. I'll find a way to leave on my own." Although Dokter was a battle maniac like Gu Ding, he also knew that some people were invincible. If they chose to confront them head-on, there would only be one outcome: total annihilation.

"Dokter is right. Once the port is sealed off by her divine power, we won't be able to escape. Moreover, Low-rank God with five-star Combat Strength is not something we can handle right now," the Sea Emperor advised.

Gu Ding knew that with his current strength, if he couldn't bring his opponent into his domain, he could at most contend with Two-Star Low-rank God. Even if the opponent entered his domain, he could only contend with Three-Star Low-rank God. As for a fifth-level god, forget about it. A powerhouse of that level, even if it was just a Will Projection, would have at least four-level Combat Strength, completely beyond his ability to handle. After a moment of silence, Gu Ding finally made a decision, "Alright, let's leave first. Dokter, be careful."

"Understood, you guys leave quickly." Dokter said, hanging up the phone to avoid wasting any more of Gu Ding's time.

Meanwhile, at the port, the Grey Eagle, which was covered in graffiti, quickly took off and soon broke free of the atmosphere, disappearing into the distance.

Less than a minute after the Grey Eagle left, a beam of white light shot out from the swirling clouds above the sky and shone directly on a tall building not far from the port.

In an instant, the entire planet was enveloped by a powerful energy, the airspace above the port was also sealed off by a special energy, and the planet's communications were completely cut off from the outside world.

Fortunately, the Grey Eagle had already left Forget-Worry Star. Looking out the window, Gu Ding caught a glimpse of the white light flashing across the Forget-Worry Star, and he knew it was the Will Projection of that Five-Star Low-rank God. Gu Ding had seen that divine radiance before on Jer Star. He frowned slightly, a hint of worry creeping into his heart for Dokter.

"The entire planet is shrouded in divine light, so I can't see what's happening on that planet, but Dokter should be fine. Even if they know that the people who kidnapped Elizabeth are from our team, no one knows that Dokter is a member of our team. Besides, he and you both wore Disguise Mask before you got off the ship. He just needs to change his mask or take it off and change his clothes, and no one will know that he was with you," Sea Emperor reassured him.

Gu Ding nodded silently, turning his gaze away from the window. Elizabeth's treatment of Bigge was still ongoing; she was completely focused on Bigge and oblivious to everything happening outside. She was also unaware that, due to the Will Projection of that Five-Star God, the spaceship had already departed from Forget-Worry Star.

On Forget-Worry Star, in room 0014 of the Queen Queen Hotel, Dokter changed into a different Disguise Mask and a different set of clothes. After carefully checking the room and confirming that he hadn't left any evidence, he finally pushed open the door and left. He knew he had to leave as soon as possible, find a place to hide, and wait for the divine light to fade before he could leave this planet.

He had just stepped out when he bumped into Medea, who was also coming out of her neighbor's door.

Medea glanced at him and walked straight towards the elevator.

Dokter felt a surge of nervousness; the other person hadn't recognized him. But he also knew that if he acted strangely, he might arouse suspicion, so he could only bite the bullet and walk to the elevator as well.

Medea merely glanced at him before lowering her head to ponder her own affairs.

A few minutes earlier, her father, the Speaker of the Council of the Senate, had called her again, informing her that he had deployed the guardian of Five-Star Low-rank God's Will Projection onto the Forget-Worry Star. Although the Speaker of the Council hadn't specified the severity of the situation, the deployment of the guardian meant that no one else could handle it. Most importantly, the Speaker of the Council had ordered her to the port to meet with the deity's Will Projection and to stay by her side until the matter was resolved. She was a smart woman; she understood that this meant not only was Elizabeth missing, but her own safety seemed to be in danger.

After hesitating for a few minutes, she saw a burst of light on the distant horizon and knew it was the projection of that deity descending. She then pushed open the door and prepared to head towards the port. At least she could provide the deity with some useful information, giving them a better chance of catching the instigator of this incident. She then began to try hard to recall the entire sequence of events.

With a "ding," the elevator stopped on the twentieth floor.

Dokter quickly stepped inside, and Medea followed him into the elevator.

The two stood on either side of the elevator, their gazes and words never meeting.

Dokter stared intently at the floor indicator above the elevator, wishing it would descend to the first floor quickly so he could get away from this dangerous woman and find a place to hide.

Medea, meanwhile, stared blankly ahead. Her thoughts had long since left the elevator; she was now processing the events that had unfolded since arriving on Forget- Forget-Worry Star. With each detail she recalled, she pieced together the events. "The young man... potion-making... he could bypass the multiple identity checks in the Royal Capital Star Region ... he dared to act on Forget- Forget-Worry Star, so close to Dragon Dock Star ... he could capture Elizabeth, a four-star deity... he is Gu Ding!"

The answer has finally been revealed.

First, the boy's age, height, and build were similar to Gu Ding's, only his face and hairstyle were different, but Medea knew that Gu Ding could disguise himself. Second, she had never seen Gu Ding concoct potions, but Elizabeth had mentioned it to her, praising Gu Ding as a potion-making genius. Third, the boy could also bypass the multiple identity verifications of the Royal Capital Star Region, which matched Gu Ding's previous identity as a super hacker. Fourth, the audacity to act on Forget-Worry Star was something few others besides Gu Ding would dare to do. As for the fifth and most important point, Gu Ding possessed Taboo Power, and he had the ability to seal Elizabeth when Elizabeth was off guard. Elizabeth herself had broken through to become Four-Star Low-rank God, and now she had fully consolidated her Four-Star Low-rank God Combat Strength. If they were to fight head-on, unless the one attacking was Mid-rank God, Elizabeth would not be able to be captured without making a sound. And Gu Ding's sealing ability could do just that.

"But why did Gu Ding take Elizabeth away?" Medea questioned Gu Ding's motives, but quickly put the question aside. "Whatever the reason, he is the prime suspect right now."

With a "ding," the elevator sounded again, and the floor number displayed had changed to 1.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Dokter quickly stepped out and walked straight out.

Medea, having narrowed down her suspicions to Gu Ding, had resolved most of her doubts. She withdrew her attention, watching Dokter's hurried departure, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have come out of the room next to hers. Medea narrowed her eyes slightly; her intuition told her that this person was very likely connected to this incident. And she knew her intuition was usually very accurate. She immediately chased after him out of the elevator, calling out to Dokter, "Sir, wait a moment!" (To be continued.)
