The Dominator Cut Off Half of Himself and Fled Overnight to Open a Branch

Li Qingcang's eyes narrowed sharply, and he stopped dead three yards from the Bone Gate.

The Blue Star senior executives behind him sensed something was wrong almost at the same time.

No one asked questions.

Blades flashed from their sheaths.

The Sword of Judgment Projection, Mechanical God Spear, Law Cannon Box, and Chaos Shield Array all entered combat mode in an instant.

The next moment, the God of All Machines' cold synthetic voice sounded in everyone's Divine Soul.
