Compared to the Eyeless's atrocities, the Stellaron was practically a sweet little angel.
"Actually, I don't think the cooperation you proposed is feasible," Chu Mu said flatly. "Has it occurred to you that I'm no match for the Astral Express Crew?"
Welt Yang of the Astral Express Crew was reputed to be invincible below the rank of Emanator.
Dan Heng was equally unfathomable.
