Colonial Suit

The old geezer's voice was somewhat excited. At the same time, thousands of light screens appeared on the wall in front of him, projecting the scene of the planet below directly.

The most conspicuous were the cracks that resembled black spiderwebs.

These cracks appeared very suddenly, as if out of nowhere, and spread all over the planet. Each crack surged with immense spatial fluctuations and emitted wisps of black mist. Wherever the black mist spread, all matter underwent violent distortions, like the refraction of light underwater, indescribably eerie and horrifying.

The old geezer watched carefully for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a real passage. But someone is trying to stop it. This person is powerful; at least, even I must respect his understanding of spatial rules. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the guardian of this relic, and the great warrior of ancient Krodir who was crowned with the name of Overlord."

The old geezer closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead throbbing faintly. After a while, he made a judgment.

"It can't be his main body. After so many years, the only thing he could have left behind is a wisp of his avatar. I should be able to win, but it will come at a great cost. No, wait, let me see what this is. Soul energy? He's burning himself?"

The old geezer suddenly opened his eyes. The word 'burning' was not a joke. For ordinary people, burning usually refers to life force, but for an avatar…

"Is he crazy? Is he trying to commit suicide?" The old geezer's eyes flickered, almost unable to believe his senses.

Soul energy is the foundation for constructing a permanent avatar. Every bit of it is precious. How could it be used for burning? Moreover, at this rate and intensity of burning, even the strongest life would probably only face death.

"Something must have happened!" The old geezer suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with excitement.

This meant that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Even if it contained danger, he could ignore it at this moment because he was a Stellar-level being, a level that would hardly encounter fatal harm in a normal universe environment. Moreover, he was only a wisp of an avatar at the moment, so even if it was destroyed, it wouldn't be fatal to his main body.

Therefore, in just an instant, the old geezer made a decision.

He first contacted the old woman on the other pirate mothership with his mental sense, and then summoned his subordinates.

"Prepare a squad. Come with me."

"Lord Old Geezer?" The attendant was immediately shocked. "Lord Heke and the others have already gone down, but the fleet… needs your command."

"There are countless people vying to do the commanding," the old geezer interrupted coldly. "Don't think I don't know about the competition between your vice-captain and the captain. I'm just too lazy to care, but if you can't carry out my orders immediately, then my memory will suddenly improve."

"Ah!?" The attendant opened his mouth wide, then lowered his head. "Yes, Lord Old Geezer, your will shall be executed immediately."

"Very good." The old geezer glanced at the attendant, mentally sentencing him to death. At the same time, he continued to instruct, "Tell Black and White to move faster and not lose track of Heke's operation."

"Yes…" The attendant replied again, turning and walking out of the room.

The old geezer pondered for a while, then walked out on his own, soon arriving at another room. Jules was quietly leaning against the bedside, reading a book. Seeing the old geezer's arrival, she quickly stood up.

The old geezer stopped her from bowing, then said, "Get ready. In fifteen minutes, you and I will go on a mission together."

"Lord Old Geezer…" Jules looked up in surprise, wondering why the old geezer would issue this order.

This was indeed a surprise. The deeper the mission went, the more Jules felt her insignificance. She couldn't understand why such a mission needed her to join. She had originally given up hope of going on a mission, but she never expected the old geezer to say this.

But regardless, this was a good thing. Jules had never been comfortable living in the shadow of others, even if that person was a Stellar-level being.

"I'll prepare immediately," she replied, then started to move.

Watching her busy figure, the old geezer nodded, then walked out of the room.

Fifteen minutes later, a small assault ship flew out of the mothership's spaceport, disappearing into the starry sky like a swimming fish. Soon after, the pirate mothership also sent out an assault ship. The two assault ships quickly joined together and descended towards the planet below… At the same time, deep within an ice peak somewhere on the planet below, in a huge, unparalleled cavern…

"Has the entrance opened?"

An aged, mechanical-like mental sense flowed slowly. Then a pair of green lights lit up in the darkness, followed by a second pair, and a third pair.

Light banished the darkness of the large cavern, quickly revealing the scene inside.

In the wide cavern, dozens of mechanical-like golden-armored warriors sat quietly. Each person's body was covered with a thick layer of ice. On the thickest piece of ice rock, a special golden-armored warrior was slowly standing up. His appearance was very ancient, as if he had experienced countless years of sedimentation. His ornate golden armor was also inlaid with many ancient runes, making him appear more noble and dignified than the other golden-armored warriors. Especially beneath his helmet, strands of metal-like material hung down, swaying gently in the cold breeze.

In this large cavern that had suddenly appeared bright, he slowly moved his body, then raised his head and glanced at the cave wall above.

Through thousands of meters of ice, he seemed to see the reaction of the human mothership in outer space. A strong green light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Old Geezer, he's personally taking action… and his old partner, that damned woman."

"Lord Kilke," a golden-armored warrior's voice came from behind. "Should we… also take action immediately? I can sense that the entrance is very unstable, and someone is trying hard to stop it. But this is meaningless. The entrance will be fully opened in at most twenty-seven minutes. Twelve hours later, the entrance will expand to five times its initial size. One hundred and thirty-two hours later, the entrance will expand to a limit, and all the contents of the relic will be open to outsiders. No one can stop it. If it continues to advance to three hundred and seventy-six hours, the entrance will turn into a small black hole, devouring the entire planet."

"The time we can use is from now to the next three hundred and seventy-six hours. After the entrance expands into a small black hole, no one except top-tier existences like you will be able to enter."

The golden-armored warrior's voice was very certain because he was Israil, the most proficient Stellar-level expert in spatial detection in the Aierte civilization. Although he was slightly inferior to Istersu in spatial manipulation, he was the absolute authority in the evolution assessment of space. If he said that the entrance would turn into a black hole in three hundred and seventy-six hours, then it would definitely not be three hundred and seventy-five or three hundred and seventy-seven hours.

This was the opportunity they had been waiting for, and no one would miss it.

Don't look at them entering this planet, but until now, they have not been able to accurately find a way to enter the ruins. Most of the warriors sent before have lost contact. The interference intensity of the relic planet is extremely high, and even they are limited to a very small range. At the same time, the disorder of the binary energy rules has greatly reduced their combat effectiveness. In order to reduce the loss of energy in their bodies, they have to temporarily enter hibernation here.

But fortunately, waiting is not meaningless, they finally waited for the long-awaited opportunity.

However, Istersu, as the vanguard…

"Istersu has fallen."

A sigh came from the silent cavern, it was the old man called Kilke. He was still silently watching the top of the cave. After a long time, he said.

"I can feel that his soul particles have dissipated. This opportunity also has his credit. It's a pity, we have another warrior who has returned to the embrace of the Lord."

"He will surely be at peace." Israil said in a low voice. "But now, please make a decision immediately. Lord Kilke. Should we enter the entrance immediately? Although the entrance is still being interfered with, I will immediately remove this restriction if you order."

As an authority on space detection, Israil has enough confidence to do this.

But to his surprise, Kilke shook his head. The green light in his eyes dimmed a little. "Don't worry, my child. I can understand your sense of mission. But what we need is the result… I have to say, we were too careless in this mission. We did not fully consider the determination of mankind, nor did we consider the desire of mankind to attack. The loss of the mothership caused us to lose the base. This is undoubtedly very unfavorable, but the most important thing is that we forcibly entered this planet after losing the mothership, not only losing supplies, but also losing control of the situation."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Israil, and said softly. "It is not always advantageous to take the lead. Under the current circumstances, what we need is patience."

"Krodir is one of the most powerful civilizations in ancient times, the most terrifying combat race. How can it be easily underestimated? Although the entrance is open, under that endless darkness, it is a road full of blood."

"I have no intention of letting Aierte's most precious warriors waste on this kind of consumption. If humans are willing to do all this for me, I will be very grateful."

Saying that, he raised his head again and glanced at the cave wall above.

"Old Geezer, you are so impatient, do you also feel the urgency of the situation? It's a pity, I miscalculated your determination, and you miscalculated my patience. From the beginning of this adventure, we were forced into a disadvantage. Since that's the case, it doesn't matter even if it fails. I just don't know if you can bear it like me and watch the opportunity pass in vain?"

Kilke didn't continue, then sat back on the ice rock again, and the green light in his eyes slowly disappeared.

A few seconds later, the entire cavern fell into darkness again, just like before…rs
