Alastor

After several days of light-speed flight, the Agile finally arrived at Mercury.

The distance between Mercury and Earth does not fluctuate between 92 million and 208 million kilometers as calculated in the real world.

The distance between Earth and Mercury is calculated in light-years.

[Above, please read the author's note before complaining. Thank you for your cooperation.]

"We have arrived above Mercury, reaching landing altitude. Open the Window Armor to avoid impact, and deploy the Landing Gear."

Ye Yun sat in the pilot's seat, staring intently at the screen, his heart pounding.

It had been a while since he last piloted a spaceship. Taking off was easy, but landing put considerable pressure on him.

If he made a mistake.

The ship would be destroyed, and they would die.

Although he could guarantee his own survival, the same couldn't be said for the protagonist and the others.

Even with the Star of the Galaxy protecting them.

"Window Armor is open, Landing Gear is deployed. We can land."

Lily, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, heard Ye Yun's words and immediately opened the Window Armor and deployed the Landing Gear.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Yun took a deep breath and steered the Agile into Mercury.

The Agile tore through Mercury's atmosphere and plunged into the planet.

"Detecting Mercury's oxygen levels. Adaptability is good. Temperature is high. Searching for a suitable landing spot."

The voice of the intelligent assistant, Zhuoya, sounded in the cockpit.

"Suitable landing location found. Please proceed to this location for landing. Temperature, oxygen, and adaptability are moderate."

Soon.

The intelligent assistant Zhuoya found a location suitable for human survival and transmitted an image.

Following this image.

Ye Yun glanced at the location information marked on the radar and piloted the ship towards the direction indicated by the intelligent assistant Zhuoya.

"Rumble."

With a crisp sound.

The Agile landed on a glacier, emitting a dull thud.

The Window Armor slowly opened, revealing a world of white outside.

"Is this the place?"

Lily frowned, looked around, then turned to Dilu.

"No, I remember seeing that Cosmic Star God in an altar within a canyon!"

Dilu recalled the Cosmic Star God he had seen within the Star of the Galaxy.

"Dilu, what did that Cosmic Star God look like?"

At this moment, Gaia's voice came through Dilu's communicator.

They had arrived at Mercury, and it was time to ask who that being was.

"I don't know, but that Cosmic Star God was holding a very large Sniper Rifle."

Dilu shook his head. He couldn't describe the being's appearance, but it was definitely a Cosmic Star God.

The particularly noteworthy detail was.

The being was holding a very large Sniper Rifle.

"Sniper Rifle? Could it be him?"

Upon hearing this, Gaia's tone was filled with uncertainty.

The Star God who used a Sniper Rifle could only be him.

"Who is it? Is it Apollo? If it's Apollo, we'll hand over the Star of the Galaxy to him, and then we can go home!"

Yaoyao, hearing the uncertainty in Gaia's tone, excitedly said, "If it's Apollo, we can go home!" She was tired of wandering through the universe.

Surrounded only by darkness and endless Starlight, it was fine at first, but after looking for too long, you always felt like you hadn't moved at all, and the planet you took off from had become just a speck in the vast Starlight.

Therefore, she didn't want to wander the universe anymore.

"Judging by Gaia's tone, if it were Apollo, he wouldn't sound so hesitant; he'd be excited, because Apollo is the leader of their Righteous Cosmic Star Gods."

Ye Yun pursed his lips, stood up from the pilot's seat, and walked towards the cockpit door.

"Let's go. Whether it's Apollo or not, we have to go and meet this guy," Lily said, glancing at Dilu.

"Then what about us?"

Yaoyao and Xiao An's faces showed nervousness as they saw everyone preparing to leave.

What about Anubi?

They were scared.

"You're definitely staying on the spaceship!"

Dilu glanced at the two and shrugged, "You stay on the spaceship and watch it."

"We're scared!"

Yaoyao's face was filled with fear; Anubi was very brutal.

"What are you afraid of? Perhaps he doesn't know we've arrived on Mercury yet. Stay calm!"

Dilu waved his hand dismissively.

Perhaps.

Anubi doesn't know they've arrived on Mercury, so what are you worried about?

"Xiao An, Yaoyao, you two stay on the Agile. If necessary, you can provide support for us."

Lily retracted the foot she had just stepped out of the cockpit and said to the two.

The spaceship inside the Agile could only carry two people.

So.

You two behave and stay on the Agile.

"Okay, then you have to come back quickly! Gaia, keep communicating with us too!"

Xiao An said worriedly.

They were truly scared.

The enemy was Cosmic Star Gods, civilizations that existed since the birth of the universe.

Beings far older than intelligent life.

Although current technology could easily defeat such gods, large-scale destruction was still necessary.

"Alright, if you get into any trouble, contact me immediately, and I'll rush back to save you as soon as possible."

Gaia's voice came through the communicator, a solemn promise.

The safety of these children was his mission.

He would not slack off.

"Mhm!"

Mercury, behind a rock.

Anubi had caught up and quietly watched Gaia and a small spaceship fly into the canyon. A three-dimensional holographic projection appeared in his hand, showing the figure of Evil Star God Carlos.

"Lord Carlos, Gaia and the others have arrived on Mercury and are preparing to search for another Cosmic Star God, rumored to be Apollo."

Anubi recounted the intelligence he had gathered to his superior, Evil Star God Carlos.

The reason he was able to catch up wasn't because he received information like Hidden Wolf in the plot, but because of the Agile's movements and size. He could just follow them.

The Agile's interstellar jump function was currently damaged. If he couldn't keep up even then, it would only mean Anubi was useless.

Clearly, he was not useless.

Evil Star God Carlos was one of the three Star Gods under Evil Star God Leader Saloon. The only ones who could contend with him among the righteous Star Gods were Sun God Apollo and Jupiter God Zeus. Later on, Flame Star God Gaia would be added to the list.

Anubi was a member of Evil Star God Carlos's Assassination Squad.

"Good, we'll reach Mercury soon. Make sure to seize the Star of the Galaxy and present it to Lord Saloon."

Evil Star God Carlos's voice was filled with excitement.

Although he was insidious and cunning, his ambition was not as great as Black Star God Panra's. He was loyal to Saloon.

"Yes! Lord Carlos."

Anubi immediately replied.

With that.

He closed the ultra-long-range communication with Carlos and turned to Hidden Wolf beside him, who was also a member of the Assassination Squad. "Hidden Wolf, follow them."

Hearing this.

Hidden Wolf's scarlet electronic eyes flickered, transforming into a dull yellow metallic sphere, and quickly followed Gaia and the others.

He only obeyed orders.

"The Star of the Galaxy belongs to Lord Saloon."

Evil Moon Warrior Anubi's scarlet electronic eyes flickered incessantly.

On Carlos's starship.

"Seymour, make haste and reach Mercury as soon as possible to support Anubi. Obtain the Star of the Galaxy and present it to Lord Saloon."

Evil Star God Carlos stood quietly on the deck of the starship, gazing at the fleeting starry sky around him as he spoke.

"Yes, Lord Carlos."

Seymour was a Cosmic Star God resembling a scorpion in appearance, with a black exterior interspersed with small amounts of gold and purple. He was the captain of a combat squad under Evil Star God Carlos.

Seymour turned and walked towards the control console, personally operating the imposing starship.

An energy shield slowly appeared, enveloping the deck.

"Boom."

The next moment.

The main cannon of Carlos's vessel unleashed a terrifying laser, which struck the void ahead with a rumble.

A slowly rotating Space Jump Wormhole appeared before them.

The main and auxiliary thruster engines at the rear of the starship spewed out faint blue exhaust flames.

Evil Star God Carlos's starship, like a streak of white light, plunged into the Space Jump Wormhole, disappearing completely from this star sector.

After detecting the starship's entry, the Space Jump Wormhole abruptly dissolved into specks of light, and the Space Jump Wormhole completely collapsed.

Xuanbing Galaxy.

An unusual starship slowly emerged from a wormhole.

Demon Star God Alastor stood in the cockpit, looking at the vast galaxy filled with Xuanbing, darkness, and no sun, and murmured, "This is our last hope. Lord Saloon, I hope we can find you here."

Yes, it had been 14 billion years.

For 14 billion years, he had searched every corner of the universe for any trace of Lord Saloon.

He had already led his people to explore the entire observable universe, spanning 93 billion light-years in diameter, yet he had never found Great Void Star God Saloon, their leader.

His unwavering resolve to search for Saloon after 14 billion years demonstrated Alastor's profound loyalty.

"Lord Alastor, we have arrived at the Xuanbing Galaxy!"

A robotic soldier, resembling the Black Panther Beast under King Tiger from "Adventures of the Chinese Zodiac," approached and said respectfully.

"Dispatch the Spider Squad and the Crab Squad. Search for me. If you discover anything, report it immediately."

Demon Star God Alastor suppressed his inner excitement and said to the mechanical soldier.

He had a feeling that he could find Lord Saloon in this Xuanbing Galaxy.

"Yes!"

The mechanical soldier went to carry out the mission assigned by Alastor. Then, groups of spider-type or crab-type aircraft flew out from the deck of the flagship, heading into the Xuanbing Galaxy to search for Great Void Star God Saloon.

"Report!"

At this moment, another voice rang out, and a mechanical soldier stood before Alastor.

"What is it? Have you found Lord Saloon?"

Alastor looked uncertainly at the mechanical soldier. They had only just dispatched the Spider Squad; could it be this fast?

"Reporting, Lord Alastor, Lord Carlos has sent intelligence that the Star of the Galaxy has reappeared in the universe..."
