Hake in Peril

After Miko's reminder, Sea Emperor finally incorporated the timeline changes he had overlooked into his calculations, and after more than three hours, he finally got the result.

"The Second Time Axis is one minute behind our Main Timeline, and I've calculated the coordinates of the wormhole exit. However, due to the different time dimensions, even if we reach those coordinates, it's useless." Although Sea Emperor had calculated the coordinates, things weren't going as planned, making it impossible to complete the subsequent tracking.

"In physics, it is said that when an object moves faster than the speed of light, time will flow backward. However, it is not so simple to reach another world with a stable timeline. One must cross the time barrier. The time barrier is more stable and powerful than the space barrier. Even the gods cannot forcibly break it. To open the barrier, one must use some special tools."

"What prop?" Gu Ding asked hurriedly.

"One is Time Gauge, and the other is Time Bubble. The Time Gauge is used to measure the weak points of the time barrier and lock the timeline that needs to be reached, while the Time Bubble is used to wrap the spaceship that needs to travel through time, so as to be compatible with the time barrier."

"But these two things are unlikely to exist in our current plane. According to the data in my database, this plane's exploration of time is far from complete. This is the main reason why the Dees Family has existed in another timeline for so many eras without being discovered. Other forces probably don't even know about the existence of the Second Time Axis. Even if a giant like the Federal Government knows, their understanding is probably very limited."

"Besides the difficulty in obtaining the items, there's another problem we have to consider. Over several decades, the Dees Family has likely completely controlled the world in the Second Time Axis. If that's the case, the Dees Family's power in the Second Time Axis might even surpass that of the Federal Government in our world. Such an opponent could easily crush us to dust..."

The Sea Emperor felt the situation was not optimistic and appeared quite worried.

"Let's find the tools first, we can talk about other things later. But one thing is for sure, I will never abandon Hake. As long as he hasn't voluntarily left the team, no matter where he is, he's still our partner." Although Gu Ding didn't know what to do next, his determination to rescue Hake remained unwavering.

"Let's go back to Isa Star and wait for Lily and the others to join us. As for the item acquisition, I'll keep an eye on it on SkyNet, while Fa Te will have someone help us look for it." The Sea Emperor's earlier statement wasn't actually about abandoning Hake; he was just stating the facts. Now that Gu Ding had made his decision, he wouldn't say anything more.

While Gu Ding were waiting for Lily and the others to reunite with them back on Isa Star, something unknown to outsiders was also happening in the Second Time Dimension.

A planet transformed into a castle orbits a giant star. Deep within the castle's dungeon, behind a black metal door, lies a white room.

In that room, apart from the surrounding walls, the ceiling and floor were also pure white. The ceiling was adorned with hundreds of gemstones, all emitting a blinding white light. An ordinary person would likely be blinded by that intense light within minutes.

The room wasn't large, only about thirty square meters. In the center was a white table. On the table, a naked man was bound and unable to move.

The man was none other than Hake, one of the Gu Ding Team who had been kidnapped.

Hake's condition was extremely bad; his eyes were bloodshot. His naked body was covered with thousands of fresh scars. The smallest wounds were only a few millimeters in diameter, but the largest was a long one, stretching from his chest to his lower abdomen, a full forty or fifty centimeters long.

In the room, besides Hake, there was a man dressed in a white doctor's uniform. Strangely, the man looked six or seven parts similar to Hake, only he appeared more mature and had a slightly sinister aura.

The man held a small white knife with a blade about twenty centimeters long in his hand, slowly circling the white table, his gaze never leaving Hake's body, his expression like that of a child looking at his beloved gift.

"My dear brother, in these past three months, I've dissected your body ninety-nine times in various ways, and today marks the hundredth. One hundred is a number worth commemorating. How to begin today is something I really need to think about carefully." The man said, licking his lips with his tongue.

"What difference does it make if I dissect him a thousand times or ten thousand times? You coward, you wouldn't dare kill me anyway." Hake looked coldly at the man.

"You're my own brother, how could I bear to kill you? Besides, your body is truly a wonderful toy. Usually, I get tired of other toys after playing with them three times at most. But with you, I'll probably never get tired of you, even though I'm already familiar with every part of your body, inside and out. Do you remember seeing your heart beating in my palm yesterday? It was so wonderful! Hehehe..."

"As one of the thirteen heirs of the Dees Family, you will release me sooner or later. And the first thing I will do after I get out of here is to kill you." Hake's words were clearly not a joke.

"Kill me? I am the Strongest King, just one step away from entering the True God Realm. My Combat Strength is enough to kill Fourth Sequence god, and I can even fight against Fifth Sequence god. Your current Combat Strength is at most comparable to Fifth Sequence true god, which is not even in the same league as me. How can you kill me?" The man laughed instead of getting angry.

"Are you sure you can survive the attack of the Main God Artifact?" Hake asked with a mocking smile.

Upon hearing this, the man's face instantly darkened. "Don't think that just because the Main God Artifact is only reacting to you now, it's destined to be yours in the future!"

"Since you put it that way, then you can ask anyone to try it out and see if the Main God Artifact will react." Hake's sarcasm deepened.

"Don't be smug. The patriarch already explained how he would deal with you two months ago. Given that your killing intent has been somewhat purged from following that Gu Ding Pirate Crew, the patriarch plans to send you to kill all the members of that Pirate Crew, so that you can personally sever all your hopes."

Hake realized that the other party wasn't just bluffing, but was serious. "I won't do it. Let them kill me."

"Whether you do it or not is not up to you. I heard that Third Grandfather has recently broken through to the Third Sequence Celestial God and will be out of seclusion in the next few days. His hypnosis was the strongest in the family before he went into seclusion, and it will only be stronger now. The patriarch said that in order to avoid any mistakes, Third Grandfather will personally hypnotize you after he comes out of seclusion this time."

Upon hearing these words, Hake's breathing became somewhat erratic.

"Oh dear, I shouldn't have told you these things, but since you already know, there's no need to resist. Let's begin our game..."

As the man spoke, he slashed Hake's neck with a knife... (To be continued~^~)
