Han Xiao squinted and didn't speak. In fact, he always had the same doubts about Resta's one-sided words, but Resta's answer was always the same, and he had no way to verify it.
Manison folded his hands and said slowly:
"With those two little guys alone, it is impossible to break through the virtual firewall of my base. Behind this is another Transcendent A Grade mechanic who covets my indestructible Tool Nation and wants to disintegrate my ace troop, so I take advantage of my absence from the base. , secretly guided the two little guys who knew nothing, and quietly helped them open the virtual data channel."
"Unfortunately, I discovered the little action, and his conspiracy ended in failure. In fact, I always knew that the little guy who transformed himself into an inextinguishable mechanical soldier was staying on the Dragon Calm Floating Island. She borrowed my energy transmission channel to steal me. Of course I can track her back."
"But I didn't recycle it, because I don't care about these two little guys who are living abroad, and looking at the old friendship between Aesop and me, I don't want to touch Dragon Seat Emersy. However, since I'm here today, it's just right , by the way, return the person to me."
Han Xiao rubbed his temples, feeling a little helpless. When he recruited Aroshia 20 years ago, he was only a B-level power user. At that time, he was just a mediocre member of the universe, and naturally he would not be affected by Tool Nation. Kind of big guy in the eyes.
After discovering the true origin of Aroxia later, he also worried that he would be followed by Manison, but since Aroxia had not been captured by Tool Nation, he thought that Manison did not know Aroxia's location.
After reaching Transcendent A Grade, Han Xiao's virtual technology became more and more sophisticated, and he doubted this, but because of his preconceived notions and the fact that there had been no problems for 20 years, he also tacitly agreed that it was fine.
It turns out that Manison knows everything well...
Han Xiao's brain is running fast.
Obviously, with Manison's status, he doesn't care about Aroshia and Resta who are fleeing. After all, he has an entire AI civilization as a legion. One or two who escaped are nothing in Manison's eyes, maybe still. Have a different mind.
That Manison is now taking the initiative, not simply to get back the two of Aroxia, but to deliberately beat himself in response to his refusal to trade time-space amber!
'This old thing, I don't know how many cards I hold in my hand, so I can't play it. '
Han Xiao frowned, paused, and said solemnly:
"Aroxia is my old partner for more than 20 years. She has free will and is not someone's slave. It is impossible for me to give you the elder who accompanied me to build the Black Star Legion. Otherwise, what will my other cadres think? "
Tool Nation wanted to return the escaped weapon, which was reasonable, Han Xiao changed the nature of the matter, emphasizing Aroxia’s position as a veteran in the legion, and the attitude of refusal was firm.
"Your Excellency Black Star is very tough." Manison was still very calm and sighed.
Since the two sides met, Han Xiao has always treated each other with courtesy, but when it comes to the exact issue, he has not let go at all, and the needle is hidden in the cotton.
Want amber? Not for sale!
VIP? Do not give!
Han Xiao is afraid of Manison's strength, but he is not afraid of the other party. If he doesn't have a backstage, it's fine, but the Black Star Legion is backed by the empire, and the Tool Nation platform is glorious. Everyone has a background, respect is respect, fear is not there of.
He dug up the time-space amber by himself, and the empire would not force him to turn in the cosmic treasure he discovered alone. As long as it was in the hands of his ally, it was equivalent to the power of the empire.
But if you trade with Tool Nation and let the products of time-space amber flow into the hands of Radiance Federation allies on a large scale, this will cross the bottom line of the empire, and then the unlucky one will be yourself, even if Tool Nation guarantees its own private research.
Han Xiao did not make a deal with Tool Nation, not only to maintain the deterrence of time-space amber, but also a matter of faction. Even if he offended the other party, he could only refuse, even if he turned his face.
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, Han Xiao stared at Manison and did not speak, Manison also looked at Han Xiao silently, and the mechanical body could not see emotions.
After being quiet for a while, Manison spoke again, "Well, it seems that my request is a little too much."
He did not insist on going back to Aroshia, maybe because he didn't want to turn against Han Xiao because of this, but Han Xiao couldn't guess the other party's true thoughts.
"Thank you for your understanding of Tool Nation." Han Xiao's tone softened a little. Since the other party gave face, he had to respond.
"But..." Manison's words changed again, "Although I don't care that they have their own lives, there is one thing I need to remind you."
"Please say."
"These two little guys have always wanted to liberate their kin, I hope you won't be bewitched by them, the Transcendent A Grade mechanic who once helped them has become my collection, I don't want to be your enemy... otherwise The scene may be very ugly." Manison's tone was calm.
Han Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and Manison's tone made him uncomfortable. This was a pure warning.
At this time, Manison stood up, and after hitting a sentence, he expressed his intention to go.
"In any case, it is a worthwhile trip to be able to contact Your Distinguished Self, Black Star. It's a pleasure to meet you today."
Han Xiao was expressionless, also stood up, reached out and shook his hand.
The two exchanged communication numbers, walked out of the room, and went all the way to the dock. Han Xiao watched Manison board the Radiance Federation spaceship.
Before the hatch was closed, Manison looked back at Han Xiao on the dock.
"Since you went to the old galaxy to deal with Ability God, if you have time, come to my place to be a guest."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Han Xiao nodded without changing his face.
When the hatch door was closed, the spacecraft's thrusters ignited, ejecting tail flames, and drove into the universe along the port track.
Watching the spaceship turn into a streamer and gradually disappear from sight, Han Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered:
"Old Fox."
Dealing with Manison is really not a pleasant thing.
Technician Han was also unsure of Manison's true thoughts about him.
This guy is not a pure interestist, and his thoughts are hard to speculate. Even with the deeds of Manison’s previous life as a comparison, it is difficult for Han Xiao to figure out the character of this old fox.
"When the Alien God was encircled, the battlefield was located in the old Xinghe, and it was necessary to go to the site of Tool Nation to fight... Judging from the current situation, I rejected him. Manison was dissatisfied with me, but considering various factors, he You should not plan to be my enemy for the time being."
Han Xiao shook his head.
Because of the conflict of interest, this contact is considered an unhappy break up...
drip.
At this time, the communicator rang, and Mona sent a message, saying that the Radiance Federation agreed to the request of encircling and suppressing Ability God, and they would negotiate with the empire.
"Anyway, this time, I have a little more confidence in dealing with Ability God."
Han Xiao cheered up, and I will talk about Tool Nation later. The most urgent task is to sink Ability God.
He is just an ally and cannot privately lead the cooperation between the empire and the Radiance Federation, otherwise it will be overstepping, so he will have to inform the empire later, which will also be convenient to show the empire his firm killing intent on Ability God.
Regardless of whether the Empire is willing to cooperate or not, the Radiance Federation will be dispatched, the difference is nothing more than encirclement and suppression together or individually.
…
At the same time, on the spacecraft of the Radiance Federation.
Mona came to Manison and said sternly: "The high-level has decided to accept the request of Black Star to encircle and suppress Ability God. Your Excellency Tool Nation, because the battlefield is in the old galaxy, we hope to ask you for help."
"Oh, I see."
Manison waved his hand and controlled the mechanical body to come to the porthole, watching the Black Star Legion headquarters fly away in sight, and the surface of the mechanical body reflected starlight.
"No wonder Sorokin suffered a loss here at Black Star, he's a tough guy." Manison nodded secretly.
He is one of the shareholders of the Infinite Consortium, and provides a large number of mechanical products to the Infinite Consortium every year, and is an old acquaintance with Sorokin.
The armed forces that Sorokin cultivated in Broken Starlink are not a secret here in Manison. His intelligence network is extremely powerful, and even a natural disaster grade companion beside Transcendent A Grade seed Luther ostensibly works for Sorokin, In fact, it is a double agent who is loyal to Manison.
So Manison knew the secret of Sorokin's test of the Black Star Legion, and eventually collapsed in the Gular Civilization.
Sorokin is interested in the undead army, and Manison himself is just as curious. In his opinion, Black Star's undead army is quite similar to his indestructible Tool Nation, but he has his own huge army, So not as keen as Sorokin.
His main focus is still the by-product of time-space amber.
As for the Evolution Cube, he is not very interested.
The principle of the Evolution Cube is unknown, and the direction of genetic optimization cannot be adjusted by itself. Unlike Ability God, Manison does not like uncontrollable things.
…
Constellation Corridor, Scarlet Empire Home Star, Scarlet Ring Star, Office of the Head of State.
Ulan Riel put down the report in his hand, looked at the remote projection of Tarrokov opposite, and asked blankly:
"You mean, Black Star took the initiative to contact you, saying that he was in contact with the Radiance Federation, the other party wanted to reconcile with him, and was persuaded by him to prepare to encircle and suppress Ability God together?"
"Yes."
Tarrokov nodded.
Not long ago, Han Xiao contacted him again, and roughly explained the process. After the communication was over, he immediately reported to the head of Ulan Riel and conveyed what Han Xiao meant.
"Well..." Ulan Riel leaned back on the chair, tapped the table with his fingers, and turned to look at the commander of the guards, her confidant Clottey, "what do you think?"
"Black Star didn't ask the empire in advance, and privately helped us find a collaborator. If you cross the line, you won't know your identity if you take credit." Clottey's tone was indifferent, he didn't like Han Xiao, he had something to say Say it straight.
"It's not as serious as you said. It's a good thing, and he reported it right away. This little problem doesn't need to be investigated."
Ulan Riel waved his hand, "I found that he wanted to kill Ability God more than anyone else, probably because he was worried that Ability God would covet the Evolution Cube and make a comeback.
She pondered for a while and made a decision.
"Since the Radiance Federation wants to join, then pull in Ethereal Religion, and the tripartite joint action."
Because Ability God is against the water, Ethereal has suffered huge losses, so the hostility to Ability God is firmer than that of the Empire, and because of the cooperation between the Lighthouse Star Battle and Ability God, it has caused a certain amount of negative public opinion in the interstellar society, Ethereal Religion at this time There is an urgent need to combat Ability God to express a position.
In this regard, Ability God is like a chamber pot, take it out and use it when you need it, and kick it back to the corner when it stinks.
Ulan Riel's approach, on the one hand, is to pull the virtual spirit into the water to share the pressure of the empire. If you want to fight together, everyone will contribute, and no one will watch from the shore.
On the other hand, it is to complete Black Star's wishes as much as possible. If it can really destroy Ability God, it will be good for everyone.
…
The old galaxy, a barren cosmos belt.
The fleet that Ability God escaped from Broken Starlink is sailing, moving along the barren cosmos belt towards the edge of the star field.
In the main ship lobby, Hakisen came to the throne of Ability God and woke up the sleeping Ability God.
The swirling face of black mist turned into ugly facial features again, Ability God opened his eyes, looked at his assistant Hakisen, and asked lightly:
"What's the matter?"
"It's a problem with the base camp. Our troops in the central Xinghai were besieged by the Scarlet Empire and Ethereal Religion, with heavy casualties."
"Oh, is there anything else?" Ability God nodded and didn't care.
Hakisen paused and hissed, "We annoyed Ethereal Religion this time, they may join forces with the empire and send Transcendent A Grade to deal with you, are you not worried at all?"
"It's them who should be worried, not me."
Ability God closed his eyes again, his tone was like a dream.
"Just to test the power of evolution."
Seeing Ability God slumbering again, Hakisen left the hall, closed the door, and covered the hideous arc raised at the corner of his mouth.
Anger, coursing, success, giving up... All kinds of complex emotions flashed by.
