When the convoy stopped, a huge crowd of players had gathered, eagerly watching as the convoy unloaded boxes of supplies into small mountains on the open ground. A group of selected professional players waited in twos and threes nearby.
Han Xiao, who was attracting the most attention, was standing alone to the side, looking up at the sky, seemingly waiting for something.
Many players enthusiastically turned on the recording function.
"So he's leaving today."
Everyone was curious about how Han Xiao would leave Planet Aquamarine. The players had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time, and they all looked up at the sky with curiosity.
It was dawn, and the sun was slowly rising on the distant horizon, making the world brighter and brighter, gradually dispelling the darkness.
Just then, a tiny black shadow, no bigger than an ant, suddenly appeared in the sky directly above the crowd. Only by looking closely could one make out the outline of a spaceship, which was slowly descending.
"Look, a spaceship!"
At first, the crowd was still discussing in amazement, but as the shadow of the spaceship grew larger in their view, their vision darkened, the noise gradually subsided, and the bustling scene suddenly became deathly silent.
Tens of thousands of people stared wide-eyed, speechless with shock at the scene before them!
When the spaceship was still high in the sky, its outline was only the size of a mung bean. It wasn't until it descended hundreds of meters above everyone's heads that they realized how terrifyingly large the spaceship was. Its massive, mountain-like shadow stretched across the sky, silently enveloping everyone and blotting out the sun!
"My God... just how big is this ship?!"
Looking up from the ground, the view was completely blocked by the spaceship, pitch black, stretching as far as the eye could see. Backlit, only the outline of the spaceship could be seen. The moment the Short Horn Star descended, a line of poetry came to mind.
Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it. m•hetushu. com•com
The Short Horn Star, the flagship of the tour group, is a large travel spaceship with its own ecosystem. It can even serve as a mobile space station, capable of long-distance travel in the universe. It is surrounded by probe devices and patrol defense cannons, and is equipped with a high-energy aggregation shield. This single large flagship can traverse the entire Planet Aquamarine.
The onlookers were so shocked, let alone the selected professional players, who all gasped in astonishment. In their eyes, Han Xiao was just a figure from Planet Aquamarine, yet he could summon such a large spaceship—it was unbelievable.
However, Han Xiao's extraordinary abilities boosted the confidence of his teammates.
This image is so striking and full of sci-fi aesthetics. The mechanical monster blends perfectly with its environment, making it a worthy desktop wallpaper. Players are rushing to take photos and videos of it.
A box-shaped hovercraft separated from the Short Horn Star, its four thrusters spewing blue flames as it slowly landed in front of Han Xiao, raising a cloud of dust. This was an airdrop capsule specifically designed to receive ground passengers; it was full of mechanical style, with a precise structure, all made of metal, and pure mechanical technology.
The hatch opened with a whoosh, and the folding gangway extended section by section towards Han Xiao.
"Hurry up and get on the boat, I can't wait to have a drink." Kerlodd eagerly went up, completely forgetting that his savings were no longer under his control.
Han Xiao instructed his fellow players to do the hard work, carrying all the supply crates up. He then stepped onto the airdrop pod, the door closed automatically, and the pod took off vertically, embedding itself in the Short Horn Star.
Immediately afterwards, the Short Horn Star rapidly ascended. Such a massive spaceship flew silently without any exhaust plume, creating a striking contrast for everyone. Upon docking at the planet, the Short Horn Star shut down its engines, activating only its anti-gravity core to conserve fuel.
"After spending so much time on Planet Aquamarine, I've finally taken this step." Through the porthole, Han Xiao watched the crowd gradually shrink into ants and secretly exhaled.
From here, the sky is high and the sea is wide, where fish leap and eagles soar.
On the flat ground, countless players stared blankly as the spaceship disappeared into the horizon, and the sunlight shone down again.
Inside the Third Sanctuary, Hila stood behind her sister, her hands on Aurora's shoulders, both of them looking up at the descending Short Horn Star.
"Will he come back?" Aurora asked curiously.
Hila was silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "That's a wider world. Once you've gone out, why come back?"
"Sister, why don't we go with them?"
Hila Aurora's pale golden hair without saying a word.
"... Sis, you're hurting me."
Hila then realized she was applying too much pressure and immediately slowed down.
The Baby Bear next to him roared a few times toward the sky, then lay down on the ground, burying its head in its paws, sticking out its rump, and whimpering softly, as if grieving the loss of its owner.
Aurora stroked the soft bear fur, her spirits low, and whispered, "Will we ever see him again?"
We'll meet again someday.
"But you just said he's not coming back."
"Hmm." Hila didn't explain further, Aurora, understanding Hila's unspoken meaning, brightened up and her mood lifted again.
He's gone.
In the First Sanctuary, Bennett is having a video call with Huang Yu, listening to Huang Yu's report on the situation.
"From now on, the Third Sanctuary is in your hands. Do not change Han Xiao's measures. Apart from that, you can make your own decisions on other matters."
"Okay, thank you for your kind words, Mr. Bennett." Huang Yu was overjoyed; after so long of being a laborer, he had finally been promoted.
"Don't thank me, it was Han Xiao who recommended you before he left."
"I understand." Huang Yu nodded emphatically, keeping it firmly in mind.
Turning off the communication, Bennett opened his secret account, clicked on the ultimatum sent by the Six Nations a few days ago, and looked at them with amusement.
Raylen joined forces with other countries to put pressure on the Dark Net, Bennett kept this to himself, not wanting Han Xiao to be bothered by these things before he left.
Now that the die is cast, the way his old friend left was enough to shake the perceptions of the Six Nations, and even he himself was shocked. Bennett was very Raylen was feeling right now.
There were so many witnesses to this event that it had a huge global impact. The video quickly spread online, and the people of Planet Aquamarine witnessed a spaceship the size of a mountain descending upon the planet, causing an immense sensation.
The Short Horn Star was so enormous that it made no attempt to conceal its arrival, shocking the Six Nations. Satellites discovered the Short Horn Star, and the Six Nations panicked, preparing to send their air forces to negotiate. However, the Short Horn Star never intended to negotiate with the planet's government and simply disappeared before the Six Nations could take any action.
The arrival of such a large spaceship on Planet Aquamarine filled the Six Nations with fear, and they hurriedly inquired about the specific situation.
When they discovered the truth— that the Short Horn Star had only arrived to take Han Xiao away—the bewilderment of the Six Nations instantly transformed into horror!
A mysterious, colossal spaceship, far surpassing the civilization of Planet Aquamarine by countless years, has come for the Black Phantom?
How did he do that?! What other secrets is he hiding?!
Even knowing that Black Phantom is powerful, this behavior is still too astonishing! It has exceeded everyone's imagination!
This time, Raylen was completely dumbfounded; she never expected this! The target of their threat had already jumped out of the pond and wasn't playing along anymore. No wonder Han Xiao ignored the threat; their hostility was utterly insignificant!
