Chapter 95

She didn’t drop from Super Star-level to Star+, but instantly plummeted to Star-level!

How is that possible?

Han Siyi’s face turned pale, and she was extremely flustered.

She had experienced instability in her talent before, but that was all before entering the Super Star level. Once she crossed into the Super Star level, such incidents were rare. Occasionally, if her talent was overused, she would feel exceptionally exhausted, and the recovery time would be longer. However, there had never been a situation where her talent directly dropped so drastically!

She couldn’t understand how Ji Fu managed to do it.

Could it be that the weapon she used also contained water from the Black Sea?

Han Siyi covered her chest, coughing violently.

The excessive drop in talent caused her to feel dizzy and suffocated, almost fainting.

In this suffocating pain, her mind was particularly unclear, and she could only retreat amidst the incessant warnings from her mech.

However, her talent had dropped too much, making it extremely difficult to control a Super Star-level mech with a Star-level talent. As soon as she made contact with the mech, she felt all remaining talent being drained, leaving her numb.

Even with normal talent, she wouldn’t stand a chance against Ji Fu, let alone in this confused state.

Trembling and cowering, Han Siyi awaited Ji Fu’s next strike.

This time, Ji Fu didn’t infuse her weapon with talent.

The grey-silver mech moved vigorously.

The Han family and the troops who rushed to help, realizing the situation, attempted to intercept her.

However, no one could keep up with the furious speed of Zhushi.

In almost the blink of an eye, Ji Fu appeared in front of Han Siyi.

The arm of her mech was ignited by a red arc, erupting into blazing flames that engulfed everything in their path.

With these explosive flames, Ji Fu struck through Han Siyi’s mech’s engine.

Boom!

The engine shattered inch by inch, burnt by the raging flames, and after a thunderous bang, it was completely destroyed.

The people around changed their expressions.

This was Ji Fu’s first direct confrontation after leaving the examination hall, facing a Super Star-level opponent.

…The result was that Han Siyi only lasted a few minutes in her hands.

Even though Han Siyi wasn’t skilled at piloting mechs, this terrifying intensity was chilling.

The entire military base was filled with frantic alarm bells.

The head of the Han family, along with the surviving members, wanted to retreat towards the troops.

But they were directly intercepted by Wei Lan.

Wei Lan activated the engines, flew up into the sky with a bang, and joined Ji Fu not far away. As their mechs synchronized and merged, they simultaneously activated the high-speed cruise missiles in their hands.

The missiles formed a vast sky, raining down indiscriminately, turning the entire ground into a raging sea of fire.

After the synchronization of the mechs, the shells fired were all a fiery red.

The shells, enhanced by Ji Fu’s Zhushi, were burning intensely, magnifying the power of the explosions several times over. In their frenzied operation, they pierced through the engines of several mechs on the ground, causing countless casualties!

Amidst the thunderous roar, having already retreated from the battlefield and activated the stealth mode of the starship, Qin Chu Yue suddenly said:

“Someone is coming!”

She monitored the nearby network and blocked the transmission of signals. According to reason, outsiders should not receive any distress signals.

However, the group of people who rushed over…

Qin Chu Yue’s expression was grim: “The other side is moving extremely fast, very likely a Top Star-level, and can arrive at the battlefield within three seconds!”

Three seconds was equivalent to being in a nearby star system.

With the speed of a Top Star-level, one could directly traverse to the front.

Before Qin Chu Yue finished speaking, Ji Fu raised her eyes and already saw the lights in the distance and the sound of space tearing approaching.

At this moment, running away was obviously too late.

Ji Fu simply said, “You drive the starship and run, no matter what happens, don’t look back!”

Qin Chu Yue gritted her teeth and shouted, “Come back alive!”

She had absolute trust in her companions, but facing the huge threat of the Top Star-level, she couldn’t help but worry.

The location where Qin Chu Yue was located was far from the battlefield.

The group of people heading towards Ji Fu’s side, and the troops were all targeting Ji Fu, paying no attention to her. She drove the super starship and retreated rapidly.

Before Qin Yebai landed, the mech detected the fluctuations of Qin Chu Yue’s escape.

He had been sharing mech alerts all the way, and the several mech soldiers with him quickly said, “Do we intercept?”

“No.” Qin Yebai’s expression was cold, and he looked at the two mechs not far away.

From the sudden appearance of the mech in the sky, the surrounding sky seemed to have become much darker.

Speaking of which, this is actually his first meeting with Ji Fu.

Although they are very familiar with each other, he even used both of her talents.

But they have indeed never met.

After getting closer, he realized that this Super Star+ mech, made in just twenty days, was constructed very ingeniously.

With just one glance, he knew she was a natural mech pilot.

But that didn’t matter anymore.

The main family only gave him three days, and in three days, he couldn’t even search the entire interstellar space, let alone find the three of them.

Years of fleeing had made these three individuals very skilled at evasion and possessed strong anti-detection capabilities.

To find them in such a short time was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Otherwise, the Butchery wouldn’t have been so rampant for so long.

So after careful consideration, Qin Yebai released a bait.

Yes, the Han family was the bait he meticulously prepared for Ji Fu and the others.

So far, among the remaining aristocratic families, the Han family was the best target.

If he were Ji Fu, he would definitely choose to start with the Han family.

Moreover, the head of the Han family also liked to be clever, coming to the military camp and intending to meddle in the internal affairs of the military.

Once this news was released, he believed Ji Fu would have an 80% chance of rushing over.

Of course, if she didn’t come, Qin Yebai had other ways.

And they all knew that Fang Yukun wouldn’t really do anything.

After nurturing a Top Star-level with such difficulty, how could he give up?

To say such things was only because the Butchery had caused continuous trouble, and Fang Yukun had exhausted his patience.

Qin Yebai was the same.

After the last joint examination ended, he had let them go once, but this time, there wouldn’t be a second chance.

Qin Yebai didn’t even plan to give them a chance to speak.

After the two sides met, he scanned Zhushi and Endless’s data, and then directly attacked.

As soon as the mech named “Ximing” lifted its arm, Ji Fu felt a surge of magnetic field throughout the space.

[“Anomalies detected! Anomalies detected!”]

Zhushi immediately issued a high-intensity warning.

This was just a strong vibration caused without releasing heavyweight light waves.

The system Ji Fu used was fully engaged in this instant, several calculation programs running simultaneously. Amidst the rapid beeping, it gave a straightforward judgment.

[“No possibility of victory.”]

Based on the basic data of Zhushi and Endless, combined with the talent levels of Ji Fu and Wei Lan, the system had conducted multiple calculations in a short period.

The simulated results were all the same.

As soon as Ximing acted, they would be killed with one blow.

And the mech in front, with its light waves already lit up.

With the appearance of the light waves, the originally dim space became extremely bright, almost blindingly so.

It was as if all the light sources of time were concentrated in his hands.

With this heavyweight light wave, not to mention whether they could withstand it, both mechs, including the pilots, would all be reduced to fragments.

Amidst the intense brightness, Qin Yebai looked coldly at the two motionless mechs.

Attempting to confront a Top Star+ with a Super Star+ was purely a fool’s errand.

He raised his hand, intending to release the burst light wave.

But in that moment, the entire space, including all the mechs present, sounded urgent alarms.

[“Beep, beep, beep—”]

The people beside Qin Yebai reacted abruptly, looking up suddenly and shouting, “This is the highest level of alarm in the military!”

“It’s a black hole! The black hole is coming!”

Without warning, the sky suddenly appeared with a massive celestial body.

Following it were surging magnetic fields, violently distorted space, and mechs suddenly losing control collectively, with the sky darkening instantly.

“Hiss!”

Space seemed to explode in an instant. The pitch-black celestial body, at a certain moment, resembled a huge hole. When its mouth opened and revolved, a powerful suction force appeared.

Boom!

Everything in the space, under this violent suction force, was cut and crushed into large pieces.

As the black hole rolled, darkness directly swallowed everything, extinguishing the light wave in Qin Yebai’s hand that could have destroyed heaven and earth.

The huge celestial body’s spiral-like crushing force made the body of the Top Star-level mech Qin Yebai was driving shake violently.

He immediately pressed the mech’s emergency brake and, through the special communication channel within the military, shouted loudly, “Stop the attack for now! Everyone, retreat! Fall back behind my mech!”

He activated the rampage of the mech, and the silver-white engine of Ximing was lit up, forming a semi-circular quantum light shield under the enormous suction force.

Several mechs, including himself, were firmly protected within the light shield.

Top Star-level quantum light shield.

This thing alone consumed a lot of premium materials to manufacture, and it was also a disposable item.

It was one of the few top-tier defensive weapons Qin Yebai, even at his level, possessed.

It was also the most effective defense shield under high-intensity black hole crushes.

But even so, the mechs covered by the protective shield were still being pulled and slammed onto the shield by the strong suction force, causing frantic collisions.

One of the Star-level mech pilots was slow to react and failed to enter the quantum light shield in time.

Directly detonated by the powerful suction force of the black hole.

In mid-air disintegration, instantly turned into fragments.

Those who survived here all felt their hearts pounding.

The black hole had appeared for a while, and the interstellar people had very advanced preventive measures.

For such a super-large black hole, the time it could be detected was relatively limited. However, the instruments within the Legion had received the message three days ago.

Three days ago happened to be when the Butchery bombed the Fang Family Martyrs’ Garden.

That day, almost everyone’s attention was diverted by this incident.

This included the tumultuous internal affairs of the Legion during this period.

As a result, no one noticed that the one who bombed the Martyrs’ Garden was Ji Fu’s black mech, and she herself didn’t appear at all.

The reason she didn’t appear was that her starship was parked near the Legion. Using the access Lu Bingyun gave her to the Legion’s internal network, she invaded the network, intercepted all messages related to the super black hole, and shut them down.

Black holes are divided into two types: invasive and devouring.

The invasive type releases a large number of ferocious alien beasts and plants, while the devouring type uses huge suction force to consume everything.

This super black hole was of the devouring type.

The area it invaded was limited to this galaxy.

And the Legions stationed in this galaxy belonged to the Zhou and Han families.

After the Piggy Plan was announced, normal people had already evacuated from here, but the Han family dispatched a large number of mech soldiers to settle in.

They were probably planning to directly swallow this Legion.

The head of the Han family thought he had picked up a big bargain.

But what he didn’t expect was that he was just bait in Qin Yebai’s hands.

And Ji Fu…

Qin Yebai probably thought she couldn’t resist and took the bait.

But in fact, her goal had always been the black hole.

From their appearance, to the attack on the Han family, and cleaning up the battlefield, all this time was within Ji Fu’s control.

The timing of Qin Yebai’s appearance coincided with the arrival of the black hole.

So she didn’t even have the intention to resist.

Only after the black hole appeared, she and Wei Lan together synchronized the shutdown of the mech control, activated all the protections inside the mech cockpit, and activated the black hole mode newly installed in her mech.

This mode could change the weight of the mech in strong suction, allowing them to follow the strong suction instead of being crushed by it.

In this way, they could smoothly enter the black hole.

Yes, Ji Fu’s goal was to enter the black hole.

After invading the Legion’s network, she used the system to calculate simply. The next time the black hole appeared, it was still quite a long time away.

And the existing special Star-level alien beasts that could be found were less than two.

They were still two special categories of alien beasts.

And both were in Qin Yebai’s hands. After capturing these two alien beasts, Qin Yebai had conducted multiple experiments. One of them had already died.

The other also posed experimental risks.

Basically, they couldn’t be used, which was the information Huang Peilan informed her of.

The universe was so vast that perhaps there were still special Star-level alien beasts in remote and rarely visited galaxies.

But searching for them would take too long.

The longer they dragged on, the more their advantage would gradually diminish.

What Ji Fu lacked most now was time.

So after considering everything, she decided to directly enter the black hole.

This decision was extremely risky.

After all, even Fang Yanli, didn’t think of throwing himself into a black hole.

No one knew what was inside a black hole.

It’s possible that the environment inside might not be suitable for human survival, or there might be countless ferocious alien beasts, or even other dangers…

The act of voluntarily entering a black hole essentially had no difference from seeking death.

Ji Fu herself wasn’t sure.

The unknown was always full of risks.

But before making the decision, she consulted a lot of information.

The celebrity Jin Yin from hundreds of years ago would leave a very deep impression on her because Jin Yin had once been involved in a battle and was engulfed by a black hole.

This incident was too legendary, so there were more records left behind.

It was said that Jin Yin had been in the black hole for 78 hours. When everyone thought she was dead, she emerged from the black hole again.

When she came out, the entire mech was stained with the blood of alien beasts.

Jin Yin said that she hadn’t slept or rested inside, killing alien beasts for three full days.

When she was exhausted to the point of collapse, she didn’t know what she had stepped on and was spit out by the black hole.

From this statement, a lot of information was revealed.

One was that there were many alien beasts inside the black hole, and the second was that the interior of the black hole was indeed similar to a normal planet, except that there were endless alien beasts to kill.

And the most important third point.

‘What she stepped on’ meant that there was a way to leave the black hole directly.

Of course, Jin Yin was a transcendent figure of her era, and her experience could only be considered an exception.

Because in the next few hundred years, many people, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, entered black holes.

But unlike Jin Yin’s situation, almost all of these people perished inside.

Only one lucky old man, who was devoured for several years, inexplicably thrown out again.

But when he came out, he was already paralyzed and dumb.

Overall, it was still a failure case.

So until yesterday, Ji Fu hadn’t completely decided to enter the black hole.

She goes, and Wei Lan will inevitably follow.

They are companions, and her decision cannot be concealed from the other two.

Wei Lan’s intention is also clear, she cannot let her enter the black hole alone to take risks. If she is going, they are going together.

They have been together for the past few days, discussing this matter.

Until last night, they hadn’t reached a conclusion.

Until… Ji Fu discovered her special innate ability.

Their situation is somewhat different from Jin Yin’s. Before Jin Yin entered the black hole, she was already a special Star-level being.

Ji Fu and Wei Lan are only Super-Star+.

They might not even be able to defeat the special Star-level alien beasts inside.

That’s also the reason why Ji Fu couldn’t make up her mind.

But after last night, she gained a faint layer of confidence.

This confidence was further strengthened after encountering Han Siyi today.

Actually, before leaving in the morning, she received a message.

It was from Wen Fang.

He was a researcher by Fang Yanli’s side, the youngest within the Alliance, and the one with the most technological knowledge.

Wen Fang informed her that the Fang family might still have the last innate ability taken from her.

If she could successfully obtain this innate ability, she might be able to directly restore herself to the special Star-level.

However, Wen Fang also informed her at the same time.

The result of his inquiry was that this innate ability had been secretly kept in the Fang family’s research institute for a very long time.

In the meantime, some senior researchers from the Fang family had conducted in-depth research on this thing.

Wen Fang believed that this preserved innate ability might not be in its original state when it was extracted from her.

It also meant that using this innate ability might involve risks.

The most likely scenario was that it would cause the user to lose control, or it might have been altered with manipulable elements.

Ji Fu agreed with Wen Fang’s thoughts.

So after confirming her own thoughts, she still chose to enter the black hole.

However…

Before entering the Legion’s range, Ji Fu sent a message to Wen Fang.

This message, to be serious, should have been informed to Fang Yanli.

She said, “This innate ability has been kept hidden for so long, it is impossible to suddenly appear at this time. The fact that you received the message means that Fang Yukun has already figured out the use of the innate ability.”

She directly gave her conclusion: “He may want to create a second obedient special Star-level being.”

With Fang Yanli’s personality, she would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

Ji Fu could then enter the black hole with peace of mind.

The suction force of the black hole is extremely strong.

Ji Fu, in emergency mode of her mech, felt extremely dizzy.

Before she passed out from suffocation, the sensation of dizziness finally disappeared.

Ji Fu opened her eyes.

When she just opened them, her vision was still dark, especially uncomfortable.

It was silent all around, there wasn’t even the sound of wind, only the beeping sound from her mech.

Wei Lan wasn’t by her side either.

After they entered the black hole, they were immediately separated.

Ji Fu shook her head, the aftereffects of dizziness dissipated slightly. She disengaged the protective mode of the mech cabin and started it normally.

[Ding, mech operation normal]

Fortunately, she could still use the mech normally inside the black hole.

Ji Fu looked around.

As soon as she looked up, she met a huge eye.

Ji Fu:…

[Super-Star+ alien beast, Violent Rock Beast]

She wondered why it was so quiet around, only to find out that she had directly landed in the lair of the alien beasts.

Before she regained consciousness, this alien beast was still sleeping.

Now, it had opened its huge crimson eyes and stared at her.

The alien beast living in the black hole probably never expected to encounter intruders in its lifetime.

The Violent Rock Beast stayed quiet for a second, then raised its hand. The black rock-covered claws, looking ferocious and violent, came crashing down towards Ji Fu’s head.

Ji Fu activated her berserk mode and swiftly retreated with frequency flashing.

She hesitated slightly.

The alien beasts inside the black hole seemed to be stronger than those outside.

This alien beast was only Super-Star+, yet it was much more ferocious than the special Star-level alien beasts outside.

Just as this thought occurred to her, the Violent Rock Beast opened its mouth and spewed out a mass of black fluid from its bloody red mouth.

The fluid was highly corrosive. During the spraying process, it corroded the black rocks around, piercing through them.

Ji Fu:…

How could this thing still spit? So uncouth.

And it smells really bad.

She pulled the frequency flashing and retreated backward. At the same time, she used the mech’s water condensing function to synthesize a huge water blade, which was imbued with raging flames.

From a distance, it looked like a blue flame bursting outside a mass of water.

She released the berserk mode and slashed down towards the beast’s head at maximum speed.

Boom!

The grayscale silver mech soared up, and with tremendous force from above, the water blade slashed down with thunderous might. The surrounding space distorted heavily, leaving behind a trail of blue explosions, and slammed onto the Violent Rock Beast’s body.

Crack!

The black rocks on the Violent Rock Beast’s body shattered with a sound, revealing its huge shell.

The shell was covered with concentric rings, and despite the powerful water blade’s strike, only a small crack appeared.

The shell of the Violent Rock Beast was extremely hard, capable of resisting all heavy weapons’ attacks.

The water blade used by Ji Fu was not of normal construction, hence it left only a small crack.

Normal impact shells or mechanical swords would not be able to pierce its shell.

Her strike completely enraged the alien beast.

The beast rose with a roar, its mutated head producing a massive ultrasonic wave.

The sound waves spread out like ripples, and after the waves dissipated, they directly shattered the water blade condensed in Ji Fu’s hand into pieces.

The water blade exploded in front of her.

While controlling Zhushi to retreat, Ji Fu once again conjured up a water blade.

This thing was condensed from the Black Sea water stored inside Zhushi, which had a strong effect on those who stole innate abilities, but had little effect on the alien beast.

So when she wielded the water blade again, ignited it with crimson flames, and slashed it towards the beast’s head…

The beast didn’t even try to dodge.

The head of the Violent Rock Beast was as tough as the heavy shell on its back, and the weapon couldn’t even scratch it.

But just before this crimson water blade fell, Ji Fu once again connected her innate ability to the weapon.

In an instant, the crimson water blade erupted into a golden flame.

The roaring flame, like a soaring dragon.

The golden dragon flame wrapped around the water blade, descended from above, and with one strike, directly cut the head of the Violent Rock Beast in half.

Crack!

In the widened crimson eyes of the Violent Rock Beast, Ji Fu pierced its entire body with the long sword, and her mech slammed down on top of it.

As the Violent Rock Beast was chopped to death, the surrounding black boulders rumbled and fell.

Amidst this rumbling, Ji Fu looked down at the water blade in her hand.

Just as she suspected.

Her innate ability possessed powerful attack capabilities.

These attack capabilities, when facing alien beasts and normal people, would cause her attacks to directly inflict high damage.

But if facing those who had stolen innate abilities…

Then, it would directly explode the abilities that didn’t belong to them in the first place!
