Overwhelming the Opponent

In the sky, the woman wore a dark blue androgynous suit, her long blonde hair piled high, giving her an extremely capable appearance. Although she wore black-rimmed glasses, they couldn't conceal her exquisite features and stunning beauty.

"She is Abigail, the master of this area," the Sea Emperor whispered in everyone's ears.

Abigail didn't seem to intend to stop the two from fighting; he simply used an energy shield to cover them, isolating the aftershocks of their attacks from the outside world.

Inside the protective shield, the battle between Dokter and Biggins continues.

In that last attack, the two were evenly matched, and the explosion sent them flying, but they quickly lunged at each other again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The second strike, the third strike, the fourth strike... the man and the snake kept colliding, and their attacks became more and more ferocious. However, the seemingly thin protective shield steadily blocked all the aftershocks of the attacks without even a tremor.

When Dokter failed to subdue his opponent despite repeated attacks, he suddenly took a step back in an eerie manner. His pupils turned crimson in an instant, and an extremely dangerous aura seeped out from his body as he pounced on the giant python that Biggins had transformed into once again.

This time, his attack speed was nearly ten times faster Biggins didn't even have time to react before being punched in the head.

"Roar!!!" After a terrible roar, the giant python, which had been so arrogant, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Dokter didn't seem to have any intention of giving up the pursuit. He flashed back above the giant python, ready to stomp down, but saw a white light shooting over from not far away. He immediately retreated and dodged.

After dodging the attack, looking in the direction of the assault, he saw a woman appear above Biggins, enveloping Biggins in a silver light, seemingly healing him. Biggins had lost consciousness, reverted to human form, and was completely naked.

"This time, the top player lost, so you don't need to be so ruthless." The woman said calmly.

Dokter frowned slightly, still wanting to pounce, but then he heard Gu Ding's voice behind him. "Dokter, forget it."

The crimson in Dokter's eyes faded, and the transparent shield shattered automatically, like a burst bubble turning into nothingness. Dokter then turned and walked towards Gu Ding and his group.

"I am Abigail of the Freedom Alliance, the guardian of this area." The woman in the suit nodded to Gu Ding. "You're Gu Ding? It seems the rumors were true."

Gu Ding was curious after hearing this. "What rumor?"

"Wherever you go, you bring trouble." Abigail walked slowly up to Gu Ding.

"They were the ones who came to us first this time, you should have seen that clearly." Gu Ding pouted with some dissatisfaction, he didn't expect to have such rumors about him.

"Whether you provoke it yourself or someone comes knocking on your door, it's troublesome," Abigail chuckled.

"You want to protect those top-ranked people? But as far as I know, the Freedom Alliance is a neutral organization; they don't take sides." Gu Ding's meaning was clear—you're a member of the Freedom Alliance. Your stance can't be biased.

"Fighting is forbidden on my planet. You have violated my rules," Abigail said calmly. "However, since it was the top 1 who provoked you first, I will not punish you."

As Abigail spoke, he waved his hand, and a group of uniformed men nearby immediately detained all nine members of Top 1 and put them in Magic Restricting Handcuffs.

"Considering you are first-time offenders, you will be imprisoned for one week as a warning to others. Do not attempt to escape, otherwise your imprisonment will be extended to six months," Abigail said to Kass and his group. "Our Freedom Alliance and the Federal Government have a corresponding agreement. Those who violate our rules are subject to our disposal, and the Top Organization is no exception. So, those who want to find someone to bail them out can save their energy and not waste their time."

Gu Ding hadn't expected that Abigail would dare to detain someone from the Federal Government. If it were any other force, the Federal Government would likely have immediately sent troops to wipe them out. However, he hadn't forgotten one thing. "Wait a minute!"

"Gu Ding, you wouldn't be kind enough to plead for them, would you?" Abigail narrowed his eyes as he looked at Gu Ding.

"Make them leave their Smart Watch behind!" Gu Ding wasn't pleading for them, of course. "If they cause us trouble and lose, they have to leave us their spoils. That's our rule."

"Dream on!" Lak glared at Gu Ding with some resentment, clearly very unhappy with Gu Ding's words.

"It seems they don't want to stay here. This is between you and them, and I won't interfere. If you can find a way to get their Smart Watch, I won't stop you. If you can't, I can only apologize." Abigail had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

Gu Ding grinned, appearing in front of Lak in a flash. He grabbed Lark's wrist—the one with the watch—and Lak, handcuffed and powerless to resist, wore a mocking expression. If Lark wanted his watch after refusing, the only way would be to cut off his own hand. But now, in front of Abigail, if he dared to make a move, Abigail would definitely intervene and even punish him.

But what he didn't expect was that when Gu Ding simply pinched his wrist, his Smart Watch beeped and then automatically detached from his wrist, landing precisely in Gu Ding's hand.

"Thanks!" After getting the watch, Gu Ding deliberately winked at Lak and thanked him, leaving Lak speechless with anger.

Then, the second and third watches followed in quick succession. Gu Ding obtained their Smart Watch without even needing their consent, which made many people feel uneasy. Even Abigail couldn't help but look down at his own wrist to see if he was still wearing his watch.

"How did he do that?" The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"Isn't Gu Ding a super hacker? It's very possible that he hacked all those watches beforehand," someone nearby offered their guess.

After collecting all nine watches, Gu Ding turned and nodded to Abigail, "Alright, you can take them with you."

Bigge waved to her men, and the nine were immediately escorted away. She followed, but just before leaving, she suddenly stopped. "There's a gathering of our Freedom Alliance the day after tomorrow. If you have time, you can come."

"Thank you. We will leave this planet the day after tomorrow." Gu Ding could sense that Abigail had no ill intentions towards him and his group, but he was in a hurry to leave the planet because he needed to find a suitable uninhabited planet to undergo his tribulation as soon as possible.

Since leaving the Helen, Gu Ding has suppressed his cultivation at the level of Thirteenth-Order Gene Body, not daring to make a move casually, for fear of attracting Heavenly Tribulation.

Because the bounty had increased, only the Freedom Alliance's territory was truly safe, so they didn't stop midway and rushed over immediately. After completing this resupply, Gu Ding had to finish his tribulation as soon as possible, because the feeling of the Heavenly Tribulation possibly descending at any moment was indeed unpleasant.

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it." Abigail didn't say anything more and simply disappeared in a flash.

After resolving the trouble with Top 1, Gu Ding and his team were in much better spirits.

"Dokter, you've gotten quite a bit stronger lately," Elsa teased.

"I've gained some understanding of what I inherited, so my strength has increased slightly," Dokter said with a smile.

"The top one has been taken down, I wonder what level the next enemy will be." Liliath expressed her concern.

"It might be top 2." Gu Ding thought for a moment and felt that this was very likely.

"That's unlikely. The top two hunters are all wanted criminals with bounties over a million Originium. They absolutely won't make a move unless your bounty reaches that amount," Miko suddenly said from the side.

"The Federal Government has a 'training' policy in the Universe Sea. They classify all opponents into different levels, assigning specific personnel to handle each level. This tiered policy maximizes the 'training' effect for their various teams and won't be affected by one or two individuals. Based on my analysis, given your current bounty, your opponent is very likely to be Mid-rank God team from the Elite Legion. Everyone in this team is Five-Star Mid-rank God, and their Combat Strength has reached the level of One-Star High-rank God."

Miko's analysis was indeed very reasonable, but his words also surprised Gu Ding and the others.

Seeing the surprised expressions on Gu Ding and the others' faces, Mi Xue explained, "Miko her Smart Watch read the news to her every day, and she has an amazing memory. Out of interest, she has also collected a lot of information about Pirate Crew and the Federal Government, and then plays virtual combat games based on the information provided in the news."

Sea Emperor originally intended to guide Miko in this direction and train Miko to become the team's strategist, but unexpectedly, Miko herself enjoyed playing this kind of virtual combat game, which made Sea Emperor ecstatic.

"I like board games and military games," Miko did not deny it.

"Then you must like spaceships too?" Gu Ding chuckled.

"Yes!" Miko nodded vigorously.

"We'll take you on a tour of our spaceship." Gu Ding guessed that this was probably what Miko wanted as well.

"Great!" Miko seemed very happy.

"Go, let's come back for dinner together tonight." Mi Xue nodded, knowing that Miko didn't have much time left to spend with her.

Gu Ding responded, and the group left together. (To be continued...)
