Doubting Ye Yun

Deep within a canyon.

Two spherical entities flew through the canyon, followed by a spacecraft.

Hidden Wolf was ultimately not a Cosmic Star God, and Gaia had easily dealt with him.

"Thump, thump."

Gaia and Tethys reverted to their human forms and landed on the ground.

Lily piloted the spacecraft, landing slowly and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Tethys noticed the abnormality around them. The Sniper Rifle he had placed behind him appeared in his hand, and he put on his aiming assist device, carefully scanning the surroundings.

"Tethys, what's wrong?"

Gaia asked worriedly upon seeing Tethys's tense demeanor.

Could something have happened?

"There's something."

Tethys continued to observe the situation.

As he spoke.

Gaia, beside him, also became alert and said into the communicator, "Lily, Dilu, don't come out for now. There's something going on."

Upon hearing this, the two naturally wouldn't come out and cause trouble for Gaia and the others.

"What exactly happened?"

Gaia, ready for battle, transformed his Mysterious Iron Laser Gun into its laser gun form and vigilantly scanned their surroundings.

"There seems to have been a battle here," Tethys revealed his findings. His thrusters sprayed two ethereal blue trails as he flew into the sky to observe the surroundings.

"A battle? Then Xiao An and the others will be fine, right? Hidden Wolf even came all the way to Mercury, which means Anubi must have come to Mercury too."

Gaia said confidently into the communicator upon hearing Tethys's words.

If Hidden Wolf was here, it meant Anubi had also been here.

"We don't know yet."

Tethys spotted a crater in the distance and quickly flew over. He examined the crater on the ground, performing a detailed scan.

The result.

He found nothing there.

"No trace of Anubi found!"

Tethys returned to Gaia's side, shaking his head.

"It's good that no trace of Anubi was found!" Gaia visibly relaxed. "The reappearance of the Star of the Galaxy in the universe has already attracted the attention of Salong and his group. Our immediate priority is to find Apollo as quickly as possible and hand over the Star of the Galaxy to him. Only then can we thwart Salong's plot and ambition. Before we find Apollo, the Star of the Galaxy must not fall into the enemy's hands."

"I understand. Our mission is to protect the Star of the Galaxy, and also to protect these humans."

Since Tethys had made his choice, he would continue to protect them until Apollo was found.

"Alright, since the danger has passed, let's head back to the Agile and check on Ye Yun and the others!" Gaia turned towards the small spacecraft and said into the communicator.

"Wait, Gaia!"

Suddenly, Tethys called out to Gaia.

"What is it, Tethys? Do you have any doubts?"

Gaia asked uncertainly, seeing Tethys's expression.

"Come with me for a moment."

Tethys glanced at the Agile in the distance, then beckoned Gaia to follow him further away.

They moved a considerable distance from the Agile, but still within easy rescue range. Gaia looked at Tethys, puzzled, and asked, "Tethys, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Gaia, you mentioned before that Autan asked you to protect four humans, right?"

Tethys asked Gaia with uncertainty, speaking solemnly.

"Yes, what about it?" Gaia became even more confused, truly not understanding why Tethys was asking this.

"However, you didn't mention that one of these people is named Ye Yun? This means that this Ye Yun is not one of the humans Autan asked us to protect. Why is he with you all?"

Tethys said grimly, "What if this person has ulterior motives regarding the Star of the Galaxy? Lily and Dilu are on our side, but what if Ye Yun belongs to Salong's faction? If he steals the Star of the Galaxy and hands it over to Salong, who will bear the consequences?"

"That... that's impossible, right?"

Hearing this, Gaia paused, not understanding why Tethys would say such a thing.

"Gaia, you're still too young. You don't understand the dangers of the universe or the ugliness of human nature. In any case, I always feel that this human named Ye Yun is definitely problematic. He wasn't chosen by Autan, and I don't feel at ease." Tethys said with firm conviction.

He had a feeling that this human, not chosen by Autan, was definitely suspicious.

"No way, Tethys. You haven't even met him yet, so don't jump to conclusions, okay? We were all trying to find you on Mercury at the time, and Anubi was chasing us..."

Gaia spread his hands. You can't just suspect people like this, can you?

"Fine."

In the end, Tethys spread his hands in resignation and placed the Sniper Rifle back on his shoulders. "In conclusion, I will keep an eye on this human who gives me a bad feeling."

"Actually, Tethys, you don't need to be like that. It's easy to test if he harbors ill intentions."

Gaia chuckled when he heard Tethys's solemn words.

I really don't know why you'd have such great hostility towards someone you've never met.

"What method?"

Tethys turned to look at Gaia, utterly confused about what Gaia was getting at.

"Have you forgotten the characteristics of the Star of the Galaxy? Otan once said that the Star of the Galaxy contains his power, and it also contains dark power. Otan gave the Star of the Galaxy to Apollo because Apollo has no ambition, his heart is set on justice, and he is fearless of the corrosive dark power of the Star of the Galaxy."

"Now, Dilu and the others are not affected by the dark power of the Star of the Galaxy. This shows that not only did Otan choose them, but they also have no ill intentions towards the Star of the Galaxy, so they won't be affected by its dark power. At that time, we can casually have Dilu and the others let Ye Yun test the Star of the Galaxy, wouldn't that work?"

"If he's corrupted by the power of the Star of the Galaxy, we'll immediately kill him, or drive him away?"

Tethys's yellow electronic eyes flickered as he asked uncertainly.

"Correct."

Gaia nodded solemnly. "This way, we can also avoid mutual suspicion."

"Fine, but during this period, I will still keep an eye on this human," Tethys stated resolutely.

"Alright, let's head back first. I wonder which Cosmic Star God it will be on Venus?"

Gaia had no objections to Tethys's words. Yes, Otan hadn't reminded him that he needed to help five humans, but clearly four humans.

Therefore.

This Ye Yun, after Tethys's reminder, also became suspicious.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Dilu stood at the spaceship's hatch, looking up at the two seven-to-eight-meter-tall steel giants in front of him.

"Nothing much, Tethys was just chatting with me about his experiences over the years."

Gaia shook his head, concealing the topic of their conversation from Dilu.

This matter couldn't let them suspect anything.

It had to be carried out in secret.

"Let's go, let's head to Venus to find the Cosmic Star God Dilu saw within the Star of the Galaxy!" Tethys said to the two.

"Okay, let's go back to the Agile first!"

Lily frowned as she looked at the two Cosmic Star Gods. As a woman, her intuition told her that these two Cosmic Star Gods seemed to be hiding something from them.

But she didn't pry further and agreed to go in search of the other Cosmic Star God.

Actually, she quite enjoyed this kind of adventure.

When the spaceship returned to the Agile, Yaoyao and Xiao An were exclaiming, "You're finally back! You scared us to death!"

"What's wrong, Yaoyao, Xiao An?"

Hearing the fear in their voices, Gaia asked curiously.

"Gaia, while you were out searching for that Cosmic Star God, Anubi ambushed us!"

Xiao An said excitedly, his face filled with tension.

"What? Anubi really attacked you? Then why didn't you contact me?"

Suddenly, hearing Xiao An's words, Gaia was shocked.

Thank goodness Xiao An and the others are alright, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Ye told me not to contact you, saying this was likely Anubi's feint to lure the enemy away. His goal was to draw Gaia away from Dilu and the others, so someone could snatch the Star of the Galaxy!"

Xiao An explained the reason they hadn't contacted Gaia.

Hearing this.

Gaia and Tethys exchanged a look. Could it be that Ye Yun was indeed an enemy spy?

Or was it just as he had guessed?

"What about Anubi?"

Gaia asked nervously.

The matter he cared about most was Anubi.

"Anubi was driven away by Zhuoya," Yaoyao said.

"Driven away by Zhuoya?"

Dilu looked at Yaoyao uncertainly. "Anubi is so fast. Did the Agile's particle cannon alone drive Anubi away? Are you kidding me, Yaoyao?"

"I believe it."

Lily believed immediately that Zhuoya had driven Anubi away after hearing this.

"Lily?"

Hearing Lily's words, Dilu looked at her in disbelief, Do you know what you're saying?

You actually believe the intelligent assistant Zhuoya did it?

"Did Ye Yun have Zhuoya activate the automatic aiming weapon system?"

Seeing Dilu's gaze, Lily chuckled and looked at Yaoyao to ask.

"This, he did mention it."

Yaoyao recalled for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, he did have Zhuoya activate this automatic aiming weapon system."

"Then there's no mistake, it's definitely no problem driving Anubi away."

Lily said with great confidence, "The automatic aiming weapon system is standard equipment for the Agile. The Agile is actually a starship, and the automatic aiming weapon system is an automatic aiming and tracking weapon system. Once locked on, the lock-on range error is within fifty centimeters. No matter how fast it is, it cannot be dodged."

"Whoa, the Agile has such a capability?"

Instantly, Dilu, hearing Lily's words, said in disbelief.

"Yes, however, activating the automatic aiming weapon system will cause eighty percent of the Agile's energy to be supplied to the weapon system, thus causing the radar system and communication system to temporarily lose effectiveness."

Lily explained.

She became increasingly certain that Ye Yun had the "Ship Engineer" profession, because she had never told anyone that the Agile had an automatic aiming weapon system, yet Ye Yun had Zhuoya activate this weapon system that consumed a large amount of energy. Either Ye Yun was a Ship Engineer, or a Ship Pilot, or a Ship Mechanic.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Ye Yun knew that the Agile had a hidden automatic aiming weapon system.

Moreover, the Agile was a last-generation warship, one that had been eliminated.

And Gaia and the others had also witnessed it.

Human technology and skill.
