A Catastrophe of Heaven-Shaking Proportions!
In the pitch-black space, the sound of high heels hitting the hard floor rang out. Then, a pair of black Hate-the-Heavens High Heels -Hate-the-Heavens High Heels slowly emerged from the darkness. As if something had completely dispelled the darkness, light began to spread from those heels. In just a few seconds, the previously dark space was transformed into daylight.
Medea had changed her clothes at some point. She wore a short black top, with nothing underneath, revealing half of her breasts on each side. The top barely extended five centimeters below her waist, completely exposing her slender waist. Her bottom was an even shorter black leather miniskirt than the one she wore when she first met Gu Ding in the Virtual Arena, showcasing her flawlessly long legs. Her Hate-the-Heavens High Heels were still black, but this time completely unadorned, without even a single pattern, glistening in the light. This outfit perfectly accentuated her alluring figure.
In addition, a black chain-like bracelet extended from her left wrist, growing larger and larger, with the other end transforming into four chains that secured Dokter's limbs. In her right hand, she gripped the handle of a black leather whip, the whip itself coiled like a snake, resting on the ground.
With a slight smile, Medea looked at Dokter, whom she had captured. "This black whip of mine is called the Black Python, a divine object. That attack just now tasted good, didn't it? I deliberately controlled my strength, afraid of accidentally killing you. However, it was enough to completely incapacitate you. Now, enjoy the feast I've prepared for you. If you really can't stand it, you can call it a halt, but you must tell me exactly where Elizabeth has been taken..."
Medea's voice was still echoing in this domain when suddenly, a Black Radiance flashed and pierced through the back of her head without warning. Her entire head exploded, and everything above her head disappeared.
The black light reversed and returned to Dokter's sleeve. He was standing not far behind Medea, silently watching Medea rapidly recover. "Do you think you're the only one with a divine artifact? That attack just now should have depleted at least 80% of your energy, right? I only need one strike to kill you now."
"How is that possible? I clearly caught you before!" Medea's body returned to normal, and she looked at Dokter with hatred and incomprehension.
"Nothing is impossible. I have a supernatural power called the Doppelganger Technique." Dokter's lips curled up slightly. "Although I am not as strong as you, I have a divine artifact in my hand. I can kill you with one blow, but you may not be able to kill me with one blow. Your wisest choice now is to let me go."
"If you kill me, my domain will naturally collapse. Why don't you do it?" Medea vaguely felt that the other party might be bluffing her.
"I don't want to cause trouble. You have the cultivation of a demigod, which means your identity in the Federal Government is definitely not simple. If I kill you, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause and I'll be hunted down by other powerful figures. If I encounter a god, I'm doomed. So I don't plan to take such a risk unless necessary. But that doesn't mean I'm afraid to kill you. At worst, I can just kill you and escape into the Universe Sea. Even a god probably won't be able to find my trail for a while. But I'm only twenty years old this year, and I'm currently Twelfth-Order Gene Body. It won't be long before I advance to demigod. Once I reach demigod status, I might be able to kill a god." Dokter's analysis of the pros and cons made Medea hesitant to act rashly.
Medea narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly deep in thought, but actually stalling for time.
"Don't try to stall for time. I'll give you ten more seconds to think it over. If you don't let me out, I'll have no choice but to take action against you. Of course, if you make your move within these ten seconds, I'd be happy to oblige." Dokter looked at Medea with a wary expression.
"Alright, I have a question. If you answer it, I'll let you out immediately." Medea finally gave in.
"Then go ahead and ask," Dokter nodded.
"Where exactly is Elizabeth?" Medea, her face serious as she awaited Dokter's reply.
Dokter was silent for a moment. The other party's urgency clearly indicated their concern for Elizabeth's safety. Moreover, the appearance of a divine Will Projection meant the situation had spiraled out of control. He felt it necessary to have Medea convey a message to prevent the Federal Government from taking any further drastic actions. Therefore, he spoke up, "Elizabeth will be fine. Gu Ding only needs her to do a favor, which will be completed in a few hours at most. Afterwards, she will return unharmed. You have absolutely no need to make such a fuss."
"She is the queen, and her disappearance, no matter the reason, is a major event." Medea's reply was indeed reasonable. "It's unbelievable that you would even think of kidnapping the queen. Once this is exposed, the Gu Ding Team will have no place to stand in the Fei Me Universe Country."
"We're forced into this situation. Do you expect us to sit down and talk things over? Let alone whether you'd agree to let Elizabeth help us. If we don't disguise ourselves, we can't even get into the Royal Capital Star Region, let alone this Forget-Worry Star. If we approach you, your first reaction will be to attack without a word, giving us no chance to speak." Dokter expressed his and Gu Ding's helplessness. "Are you satisfied with this answer? Can I leave now?"
"I can let you go this time, but next time, I won't be so careless. I'll send you straight to the Federal Prison." After Medea finished speaking, she waved her left hand, and a crack appeared next to Dokter.
He immediately stepped inside, and the scene before him changed, placing him directly at the hotel reception desk.
Without hesitation, Dokter darted out of the hotel and disappeared into the crowd. Medea, who had just appeared at the hotel reception, didn't give chase. Dokter's words reassured her somewhat; her biggest worry had been Elizabeth's anxiety. But now, from the information Dokter provided, she was certain of several things: first, Gu Ding had indeed abducted Elizabeth; second, the young man was a new member of Gu Ding Team; and third, Elizabeth was safe.
In reality, she mainly wanted to interrogate the other party about these three questions. Now that her questions had been answered, there was no need to continue to imprison the other party. Her original idea of using Dokter as a hostage to exchange for Elizabeth was also unnecessary, because according to Dokter, Elizabeth would be back soon.
When she reappeared at the hotel, she had already changed her clothes in the domain and walked straight towards the hotel entrance. Her destination was still the port, next to the projection of the god. Although it had delayed her by more than ten minutes, those ten minutes were well worth it.
After Dokter fled, dozens of kilometers away, he changed his clothes and shoes, removed his Disguise Mask, and showed his real face.
After fleeing for hundreds of kilometers, they found a small hotel and checked in directly.
It was already late at night when Dokter went into his room and fell into a deep sleep.
This day was extremely dangerous; he was almost caught by that woman and sent to Federal Prison.
In reality, he didn't possess any divine artifact at all. The so-called divine artifact attack was merely a God Skill he had learned. Under the activation of that God Skill, the demigod temporarily gained attack power comparable to a divine artifact. However, the single strike drained all his mental energy, leaving even his soul feeling exhausted. Furthermore, due to the activation, the demigod entered a semi-sealed state for a short period, rendering it usable only as an ordinary scalpel.
And that so-called Doppelganger Technique can only be used a maximum of three times a day.
Fortunately, he managed to intimidate the woman and escape from her territory, thus avoiding imprisonment.
Meanwhile, the Grey Eagle had already left the Royal Capital Star Region via a space jump.
Space jumps within the Royal Capital Star Region are unidirectional; one can jump out, but not into. Everyone entering must undergo identity verification, while there is no such requirement for those leaving.
Inside the spaceship, Elizabeth's treatment of Bigge continued. Seeing Bigge's complexion gradually improve, Gu Ding knew that Elizabeth's treatment was effective.
About two hours later, Elizabeth finished treating Bigge and stood up. "I have completely erased the divine source imprint in his body, and I have also refined all the divine source. His body should be fine now, as long as he recovers from his previous injuries."
"Thank you so much for this!" Gu Ding grinned again, revealing his white teeth.
"Huh, the spaceship has left the Royal Capital Star Region?" Elizabeth's expression suddenly changed drastically. "What on earth happened?"
"The Will Projection of that Five-Star Low-rank God descended upon Forget-Worry Star. To avoid trouble, we fled directly," Gu Ding explained.
"Oh no, even if Medea and the others don't reveal my disappearance, the Congress will find out. My wristwatch has a special setting that automatically triggers the highest-level Black Alert from the Congress as soon as I leave the Royal Capital Star Region. And you will be treated as the kidnapper who abducted me. This time, the Congress will definitely mobilize all its forces, with all the demigods and gods entering a manhunt... You've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time."
"I tried to hack into her watch, but the access level was too high. The heavens have never mentioned anything like this. I guess only the king and the members of the parliament know about it; no one else is aware of it," the Sea Emperor explained helplessly. He had never expected things to develop this way.
"There's no use worrying now. Let's reunite with Lily and the others first, and then figure out a solution." Gu Ding's expression immediately turned grim. (To be continued.)
