The distant void Zerg plane.
"How many people survived?"
Shooter Rosh curled up in the corner, playing with the bullet shell in her hand. She was a captain of the cleaning team of the Sanctuary of Creation, and also a hybrid of the Eternal and God.
The law that mixed-race people are the strongest does not apply to star maps.
Her mother was a mother goddess born under the law of scorching fire, which resulted in Rosh's eternal characteristics being flawed, and she would be affected by all damage related to fire.
This seemed ridiculous to outsiders, and it also made Roche hate the demigod bloodline in her body. This bloodline did not bring her any benefits, but endless troubles.
"Seven of us...Captain, do we have a new mission?" The seven surviving members of the hunting team sat down in front of Roche.
They are a team used by the Sanctuary of Creation to hunt natural disasters. Their daily mission is to nip the four major natural disasters on the star map - Annihilation, Chaos, Abyss and Void - in the bud.
It is difficult to find the whereabouts of the extinction units among the other three natural disasters because their numbers are too small, and the relationship between the plane pirates and them is more like a relationship between police and robbers than hunting.
Sometimes the hunters would trade with the plane pirates, because at least they could communicate with the plane pirates compared to things like the bug void, but in most cases, after the plane pirates robbed a plane, they would chase after the plane pirates and put them in jail.
Therefore, the hunters of the Sanctuary of Creation can also be called law enforcers on the star map.
"We have our next mission."
Rosh was in no mood to mourn her teammates who died in this mission. The Sanctuary of Creation lost more than 100,000 mechanical units, and Rosh lost more than 70 comrades who fought alongside her.
Some of these comrades are gods, some are extraordinary life forms, they all come from various planes of the star map, and after passing the "Ascension Trial" of the Sanctuary of Creation, they became members of the Sanctuary of Creation.
They initially believed that the Sanctuary of Creation was a sacred and great place, and like many believers of faith, they believed it was a heaven-like place.
But the Sanctuary of Creation is a very practical organization, so practical that it is more like an arms trading company spanning the entire star map than a sacred place.
That’s right…arms trading company. The organizational structure within the Sanctuary of Creation can also be divided into six major arms dealers and countless small trading organizations.
These six major arms dealers are using the power drawn from the six natural disasters to manufacture various items. The Sanctuary of Sustainability where Rosh works is using everything from the Void Zerg as raw materials for various research.
Therefore, her mission this time was not so much to eliminate the natural disasters on the star map as to help the sanctuary collect materials needed for research.
She thought she could rest after completing this mission, but she received a new mission.
"The target is Thorn, the Eternal Thorn... Isn't this the target with the most generous reward on the bounty list? There is no weapon yet... Is this the reward given to us by the Sanctuary?"
The young team members did not know what Thorne had done in the past. All they knew was that Thorne possessed swordsmanship that few in the world could match, but that was all.
No matter how strong your swordsmanship is, it is still just swordsmanship. In front of the powerful armor and weapons made by the Sanctuary of Creation, the difference in personal skills is reduced to a point that is almost non-existent.
A wooden sword can't cut through their armor, so what's the point of having strong swordsmanship
The team member's statement was agreed by others.
"Don't relax, read the detailed instructions for this mission."
When Roche saw the name Thorne, she crushed the shell in her hand, but there was another explanation in the mission description that made her more concerned.
"The natural disaster that we might encounter during this mission... the God Eater... Hasn't the God Eater been exterminated? Why does it appear in the natural disaster atlas?"
"Damn it! The Sanctuary wants me dead to put it bluntly!"
The team members felt a surge of pressure after seeing the words "God Eater" written in the column for natural disasters. They were experts in dealing with natural disasters, and they had dealt with countless Void Zerg and Abyss, two common natural disasters on the star map.
Because they are endowed with some characteristics of Eternals, although they cannot be immortal like real Eternals, at least their self-recovery abilities far exceed those of some extraordinary life forms on the star map.
The only exception is the God Eater of Gods. The God Eater of Gods can even kill the real Eternals. It is of course extremely easy for these imposters who have inherited some of his characteristics to deal with him.
"Be prepared, the mission must be carried out." Roche threw away the shell in his hand that had turned into dust.
"Is it too late to write a suicide note now?"
"Suicide note? I've never seen you so scared even when you were killing bugs."
"Those void bugs can't hurt me... This is a plane where the descendants of the God Eater gather. Is this really a mission that our team can handle?"
Fear began to spread among the team. This fear came from the various horrific legends about the God Eater that were circulated on the star map, and also from the pain of having to carry out this mission.
"The transmission beacon is connected!"
The engineer in the team who was in charge of plane teleportation said in a trembling voice.
"What is the result of the information from the beacon? Don't read out messages like 'kill outsiders' and 'sacrifice'." Roche loaded bullets into the magazine of the pistol in his hand and said, "I'm tired of hearing it."
This was the first time that their team targeted the Scourge of the God Eater. When they had previously teleported to the Void Zerg and the Abyss, the beacons they received were full of negative news, with the words kill and sacrifice being the most frequently heard.
“It’s a bit much.”
"More?" Rosh was slightly startled as he reloaded his gun. The Scourge rarely communicated with outsiders, and the descendants of the God Eater should be the same...
"Read it out loud," Roche said.
"Welcome... Welcome to the Thorn Hunting Competition. If you want to challenge Thorn, you must first pass our trial..."
"It's very common, a bit like the Beacon Declaration of the Annihilation Legion. Are there any others?" Roche asked.
Most of the beacons of the Annihilation Legion are mainly for trials, but unfortunately these guys are thugs who enjoy killing weak planes, and are far worse than plane pirates.
"The Brand Island Mahjong Contest is also being held simultaneously. Participants can win a large number of treasures from the God of Devouring Gods. Work hard to become the number one Mahjong master or Landlord master in the entire star map!"
"What did you say?" When Roche heard this, his hand that was reloading froze in mid-air.
"Captain, there's more. The Brand Island Speed Legend Competition is being prepared. If you are confident in your driving skills and mounts, you can sign up to participate. Also, during the beacon opening period, accommodation costs are only 50% off, but food and lodging are not provided. Visitors are requested to bring their own food."
The bullet in Roche's hand fell to the ground, and the sound of the bullet falling was clearly audible. Roche resisted the urge to grab the engineer by the collar and ask him... if he was kidding.
The players on the other side asked directly...
"Did you direct the beacon to some travel plane?"
"No, it is indeed a plane occupied by the God Devourer Scourge. They even held a fishing competition... and said something about there being too few event slots and nowhere to put them."
"Captain." The other team members also gathered around and read the information given on the beacon, then turned their inquiring eyes to Roche.
"Don't let your guard down, it could be a trap set by the enemy."
Roche finished reloading the weapon in his hand and directly made a teleport request to the location sent by the beacon.
