Chapter 1133: Chapter 581: X Level Controlled Object Freedom_2
Morris merely snorted coldly; he still held the secret of the Eternal Holy Seat and would never let these guys know.
Costate was helpless; ever since arriving here, he communicated with the other side every day, but this guy was impervious, unwilling to say anything.
With an X Level Life Form, there were almost no means to extract confessions.
If the other side didn’t want to talk, it was very hard to get useful information.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a knocking at the door, and someone peeked in, “Commander, Lord Heckler is looking for you.”
Costate frowned slightly but had to stop his inquiry.
As he stood up, the officer had already opened the door, and his gaze swept over Morris.
“No one is allowed to approach him.” Costate routinely gave the order, and the officer nodded in agreement.
As Costate left, the door was once again shut heavily.
Morris lowered his head; his heart was far from as calm as he appeared, and he was a bit restless.
If news of his father’s death reached his clan, it would surely cause an uproar.
Though the Dark Prison Giants were the ruling race, other Titan Branches also lived among them.
Once the other races learned of this news, they would inevitably be eager to act.
What he needed most now was to eliminate hidden threats before those people could react, but escaping from here seemed nearly impossible.
He was fully aware that even if they drained every bit of him, they wouldn’t let him leave.
And in the energy conduit merged into his spine, a blood-red flash appeared fleetingly, as if it didn’t exist; all monitoring measures failed to detect it.
“Morris?”
An abrupt voice sounded in his mind, causing Morris’s pupils to contract suddenly. He looked up, sweeping his gaze jauntily around with suspicion.
“No need for such a reaction,” the voice continued.
Morris frowned tightly, his mind filled with many speculations, trying his best to mobilize his spiritual power, which had been suppressed to its lowest activity, to inquire.
“Who… are… you?”
“I’m here to rescue you,” the other party did not answer the question, “I know you want revenge.”
“Rescue me?” Morris paused for a moment, then revealed a slightly mocking smile,
“Alright, stop pretending. I know no one in this Star Domain. The place is heavily guarded; it’s impossible for outsiders to infiltrate.”
Clearly, he thought it was the Three Civilizations intentionally messing with him.
“You’re mistaken; I didn’t infiltrate. I’m communicating with you through a special means,” the other replied unsurprisingly, “I know you don’t trust me.”
“But there’s one thing you should know. Recently, the Star Alliance captured someone who claimed to be Ling Shou, and right after news of the Black King’s death leaked, the Star Alliance showed him video footage, and he immediately revealed a lot of information.”
“Ling Shou?” Morris’s expression suddenly restrained, anger in his heart, “Courting death!”
The One-eyed Giant clan held prestige and influence second only to the Dark Prison Giants, always harboring ambitions to replace them.
It was only due to his father and the Eternal Holy Seat’s presence that they had been held back, and now was the best opportunity.
“Rest assured, though, I’ve already killed him,” the voice sounded again.
Morris felt a slight blur before his eyes, then saw a bloody, mangled figure.
“Isn’t this enough to prove that I’m definitely not with the Three Civilizations?”
Morris remained silent; the ones who had been interrogating him had no idea about Ling Shou, nor were they aware of his father’s honorable title.
Regardless, this guy was certainly not aligned with the Empire.
“Who exactly are you?” Morris questioned again.
This time, the other party did not skip the question, responding, “You can call me the Alchemy Baron…”
“Alchemy?” The words seemed to have stimulated Morris, curious and uncertain, “The Alchemy Civilization? Forbidden Alchemist? Weren’t they destroyed?”
This time, it was the voice in his mind that fell silent for a moment before responding, “As expected of the Titan Branch, knowing about even this civilization.”
“What do you want?” Knowing a bit about the other’s background, Morris’s inner vigilance diminished somewhat.
“Azure Dragon is also my enemy.” The other’s words left Morris stunned.
Azure Dragon truly had many enemies.
He clearly didn’t believe it, “Is that all? The Three Civilizations also want to take down Azure Dragon. All you have to do is sit back and benefit; why bother rescuing me?”
“Because… you hold a different kind of value.” As the words fell, Morris’s vision blurred again.
The surrounding scenes rapidly shifted, and he felt the world spin around him, standing over a black, tar-like energy substance.
Yet his gaze was vacant, as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at a massive corpse in the distance.
“That… that… that is…” he stammered in shock.
“Yes, that’s a Dominator Level corpse.”
A storm surged within Morris’s heart.
Never did he expect to see a complete Dominator corpse, filled with countless questions, yet at a loss for words.
“This is what the Empire and Federation discovered, as they research the path to becoming the Ultimate Life Form.”
The scene shifted again as the voice continued, revealing a bloody laboratory in the distance, where a thick arm hung.
“This…” Morris was once more horrified.
“Yes, that’s an arm cut from that corpse. I’m also conducting research,” the other admitted frankly.
Morris was bewildered; this person could cut an arm from a Dominator Level corpse?
This Star Domain truly was dangerous.
His eyes narrowed, suddenly realizing this person was also wary of Azure Dragon.
That guy… Morris’s face tightened as he recalled the scene of his father being brutally killed.
“Someone of your Titan Branch’s bloodline concentration is extremely rare. I need your help to study this arm. There might be potential to become an Ultimate Life Form,” the voice said sincerely.
Morris’s expression shifted, understanding the implication was to use him as a test subject.
However, he did not refuse, having witnessed Azure Dragon’s tactics, realizing his current strength was no match.
Only by reaching the Ultimate Life Form level could he seek revenge.
Moreover, returning to his clan as he was, he couldn’t even maintain his former status.
He had suppressed himself for so long for the King’s Trial, finding it difficult to quickly reach his father’s level.
After prolonged hesitance, a solid trace of venom flashed in his eyes, and spiritual power undulated slightly: “Alright, I agree!”
The voice seemed unsurprised, “It’s the best choice. Please, follow my instructions step by step, Your Excellency~”
……
The High-level Life Form Union’s internal challenge was to be publicly broadcasted, with live spectator participation allowed.
The announcement from the interstellar alliance immediately stirred up waves across the stars.
The expansion meeting over a year ago had already drawn much attention.
Unfortunately, last time was an internal meeting, without public broadcasting, resulting in merely a few light announcements.
Council seat changes, based on strength, clashing power, naturally drew considerable attention.
The duel location was chosen in a remote star system, devoid of life forms, allowing energy to be unleashed freely.
The timing was set for half a month later. Given interstellar expansiveness, the time appeared quite short.
Many initiated a joint petition on the Interstellar Network, hoping to extend the time to allow for their travel to the site.
In the end, the petitioners numbered in the trillions, yet the interstellar alliance remained unresponsive, causing many to curse in anger.
Those with means had already boarded their best ships heading to the site, while those who couldn’t attend could only watch the broadcast.
The ten days passed in the blink of an eye, the day of the duel arriving as scheduled, transforming the desolate area outside the star system into an endless sea of spaceships, layer upon layer, seemingly endless.
The number of viewers watching the broadcast surpassed the live audience by countless times.
The prowess of High-level Life Forms naturally evoked admiration, and merely watching through screens couldn’t provide the adrenaline rush.
Yet, most ships on-site were keen enough to steer clear of those luxuriously extravagant large flagship vessels, almost never sold publicly.
