Volume 3 Chapter 268: Watching from the Starry Sky (Humanity)
"What, what is that?" Sancho looked up at the sky, his mouth wide open in shock at the horrifying scene.
He was considered a veteran who had gone through four or five missions. He thought that although he was not as good as the big guys in the team, he was not a newbie who had never seen the world. But this scene was something he had never seen before.
In the previous mission, the boss carried a nuclear warhead to blow up the space battleship. In the end, the huge space battleship of tens of thousands of meters turned into pieces before his eyes. He thought that was shocking enough.
But now I realize that there is no most shocking, only more shocking.
In fact, it was not just Sancho who felt shocked, but the rest of the team as well, even the captain Long Ming, who was the real boss in Sancho's eyes and had experienced countless missions. In the last mission, he personally carried a nuclear warhead to blow up a space battleship, and in the end the space battleship was blown to pieces, but he himself was unharmed.
At this moment, he was also looking at the sky, stunned.
"What the hell is this? A planet?"
"Captain, what is going on with this mission? It feels unreasonable from the beginning to the end! It's even more unreasonable now." Xiao Xia, another female team member with similar qualifications as Sancho, was the first to calm down.
She forced herself to lower her head and not look at the vision in the sky, while at the same time regaining her ability to think.
"It's really unreasonable. It feels like the master is going crazy." Uncle Wanli, who is second only to Long Ming in strength in the team and has also experienced countless missions, spoke in a nonchalant manner with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and a stubble on his face.
"No, it's more like trying to grasp the last straw, at all costs." Long Ming shook his head and expressed a different opinion.
"Grab at straws? Lord? How is that possible?" Sancho was the first to express his disbelief. That was the Lord. What could have forced the Lord to the point of needing to grasp at straws? Even if you are the captain, I usually admire you very much, but you can't make such a joke.
“Although your feeling is always very accurate, it’s a bit too mysterious this time, isn’t it?” Uncle Wanli looked at Long Ming, and his eyes, which were usually sleepy, were wide open for a rare moment.
"This, isn't really necessary? But since the captain said so, is the Lord really in trouble? Is it related to the wanted Lin Xu who is worth 500 million points?" Xiao Xia widened his eyes, but thought about this possibility seriously. After all, the captain said so.
"Hey, hey, this is too outrageous, right?" Sancho still expressed disbelief.
"It's a bit outrageous, but the opponent is also the dark force from other high-dimensional forces! If it's an opponent of the same level, it wouldn't be outrageous, right?" Captain Long Ming said seriously.
So several people fell into deep thought.
The four of them were discussing here, and the other two newcomers in the team couldn't get a word in. They could only stare at each other.
"If that's true, we were right not to rush over to grab the points right away. The existence that can force the Overlord into this situation means we have no chance of defeating it. It's more like the Overlord is using us as cannon fodder to test the opponent." Xiao Xia analyzed.
"Or maybe the master wants to take the opportunity to escape, so he uses us to cover their retreat." The cigarette butt at the corner of Uncle Wanli's mouth twitched, but the words he said made people feel cold all over.
"If this is true, then we are complete abandoned pawns." Long Ming sighed.
"So many conquerors, are they all abandoned? No wonder the Lord teleported us here without saying a word, even without waiting for us to accept the mission." Sancho's eyes widened.
Among these massive conquerors thrown by the Lord, some actively accepted the mission and came here to make a fortune, while others were thrown here passively. However, those who were thrown here passively obviously had less subjective initiative.
I have been here for a while and am still observing the situation, and have not taken any action yet.
As the few of them continued to discuss, they even called over two newcomers to express their opinions.
The planet in the sky that was rotating in the huge space gap like an eye began to move.
With a buzzing sound, Sancho only felt a buzzing sound as if it was pouring out of his brain.
Oh no, I’ve been tricked. This was his first reaction.
Then he looked around, wanting to ask his teammates for help, but found that his teammates, including Captain Long Ming and Uncle Wanli, all had ugly expressions.
Are they all infected?
The next moment, Sancho felt that his body seemed to have lost gravity and slowly floated up from the ground.
"What's going on?" Sancho danced in panic.
"I don't know, we seem to have lost gravity." Xiao Xia's voice was rarely filled with panic.
"This seems to be the effect of gravity field deflection weapons. I have seen a technologically advanced interstellar civilization use it during a mission. It will be fine as long as you leave the range of gravity field deflection." Uncle Wanli comforted.
But the next moment, his voice stopped.
Because he had already seen that within the range of his sight, a large number of conquerors hidden everywhere were all slowly floating up and drifting towards the sky.
"This, this can't be global, right? Are we going to be swallowed by that eye?" Looking up at the sky again, Sancho's voice trembled.
"Move!!!" A huge roar erupted from Long Ming's body, and the whole person was like an exploding cannonball, with a huge shock wave blasting to one side.
Under normal circumstances, in a zero-gravity environment, after such a blow, he himself would fly to the other side due to the reaction force.
Unfortunately, he seemed to be firmly bound in place. No matter what kind of attack he launched, it was all ineffective. Even the power of the attack seemed to be diluted and dissipated into the air.
In the end, he had no choice but to attack the ground.
With his strength, he launched a powerful attack that was enough to change the entire earth's terrain, but just like before, it didn't fly far before the power of the attack dissipated into the air.
“Don’t bother, we are all locked up. It is worthy of being an existence that can force the master to this extent.” Uncle Wanli sighed.
As they climbed higher and higher, everyone saw that, just as Sancho had said, the scope of this attack might be global.
As far as the eye can see, there are endless Dominant Conquerors, all rising towards the sky, or rather, towards the giant eye-like planet in the crack.
Wanli even saw many old friends and even old rivals among the many dominant fighters who took off into the sky.
Some opponents who used to fight each other during missions are now like insects, easily trapped and captured by a certain existence.
It’s kind of funny when you think about it.
Ashim was also looking up at the sky. Beside him were Martha and Becker, his former subordinates who were now wanted like him.
At this time, both of them were covered with wounds.
The three of them looked at the boundless billions of Dominant Conquerors in the sky, many of whom even Ashim had to avoid. Now they were like bugs, being easily captured and taken away by some great being.
But they can stand on the ground and watch this scene leisurely.
That feeling is indeed very complicated.
"It's over." Ashim sighed.
"Yes, Lord Achim," Baikal replied.
"No, don't call me Sir, just call me Ashim. Only Sir Lin Xu can be called Sir." Ashim shook his head and corrected.
It seems that he is still able to put himself in the right position.
"Actually, you can call Lady Nanzhu that. She will be very happy, and Lady Lin Xu won't mind." Martha on the side suddenly spoke up.
Ashim suddenly looked at her in surprise.
"You never said anything so interesting before."
"How could I dare to follow you at that time?" Martha said casually.
Ashim nodded. Martha's tone made him a little uncomfortable, but as mentioned before, he still knew how to put himself in the right position, which was one of his strengths.
Not far away, Moss and Melo found Kyle, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath. After treating his wounds, the three of them sat together and looked at the sky.
After this battle, Moss and Mello accepted Kyle in a sense and no longer looked down on him as a newcomer.
"We won." Moss' voice was filled with emotion and joy.
"Yeah, I never thought I could win." Kyle said with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
"Have these conquerors been captured? Are they of any use?" Mello stared at the sky in confusion.
"I don't know Lord Lin Xu's purpose, but it has nothing to do with us anymore." Moss said in a relaxed tone.
"By the way, can we use prophecy to make a prediction?" Kyle suddenly had an idea.
“Not to mention that my prophecy skill itself is not of a high enough level. Even if it is of a high enough level, some things are destined to be variables beyond fate and cannot be predicted.” Perhaps because he recognized the relationship between Kyle and his companion, Mello answered solemnly.
While these conquerors wanted by the Overlord were discussing the hundreds of millions of captured conquerors, the Overlord's conquerors who were originally in the sky and closest to the crack had already entered the crack and landed on the planet inside the crack, disappearing one by one inside the planet.
Soon, even Sancho and his group, who had risen from the ground, had reached the crack and were descending towards the planet inside the crack.
As the distance got closer, everything on the planet became clearer and clearer in Sancho's eyes.
He looked at the surface of the planet, where there were countless facilities that looked like hibernation chambers. All the Dominant Conquerors who landed were accommodated in these hibernation chambers.
Then the dominant warrior among them lost all sound as if he had fallen asleep, and then the hibernation chamber was transported into the interior of the planet and disappeared.
"Where were those people sent?" Sancho's voice was a little hoarse because he was too afraid of the unknown fate.
"Who knows, maybe it was dismantled and used as fertilizer?" Uncle Wanli thought for a while and replied.
"Uncle Wanli, don't make such jokes at this time." Xiao Xia was already dissatisfied before Sancho could speak.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. But since they took so much trouble to capture us, I believe we are useful to that entity. They won't kill us directly, right?" Uncle Wanli seemed very optimistic.
"Really?" At this moment, Sancho seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would he go to so much trouble to capture us? The gravity deflection field that covered the entire planet just now consumed a lot of energy. Even using the deflection field to push the entire planet into the star and completely destroy it might cost even less. After all, it takes the most effort to carefully identify all the existences on the entire planet and capture all the conquerors without harming the natives. Such delicate operations are the most consuming," Uncle Wanli analyzed.
His analysis also made Sancho and Xiaoxia feel relieved.
It’s a pity that he didn’t know that this amount of consumption was nothing but a drop in the bucket for Lin Xu.
But he was right about one thing: it was indeed useful for Lin Xu to capture them.
"Long Ming, stop struggling, it's useless. You should save your energy." After Uncle Wanli persuaded Sancho and Xiaoxia, he turned around and persuaded his captain.
The two men have the same qualifications and are old friends. It is for this reason that Uncle Wanli knows that if Long Ming gets angry, even nine oxen can't pull him back.
"Why is it useless? Am I not ten centimeters closer to you?" Long Ming mobilized all his strength and tried his best to move himself, with some results.
"You're wasting all your energy here. What will you do if you encounter a situation where you really need to fight?" Uncle Wanli sighed.
"No, I'm already saving my energy." Long Ming was full of confidence.
"Instead of wasting your energy here, I think it would be better for you to burst out and see if you can resist successfully before we are put into that hibernation chamber after we land," Uncle Wanli suggested.
"Good idea." Long Ming's eyes lit up and he accepted the suggestion.
Soon, the group landed on the ground. Even though Uncle Longming was safe before, Sancho still felt his heart beating faster.
Especially when he was stuffed into a hibernation chamber with his whole body powerless by something like an engineering robot, his eyes were full of fear, for he was afraid that he would fall into a sleep and not wake up.
"Break it for me!!!" Captain Long Ming's roar came from the side.
It seemed like he was taking the opportunity to escape, but unfortunately Sancho did not see any results. Then Captain Long Ming was also stuffed into the hibernation chamber like him.
Soon, Sancho felt sleepy and fell asleep.
In his sleep, he seemed to dream that he had returned to his life before entering the realm of domination.
At that time, he was an extremely ordinary person in a certain planetary civilization.
I go to work and get off work ordinary every day, and my life is uneventful. I once dreamed of becoming successful one day, but I got a headache whenever I picked up a book to read. I am one of those ordinary people who often set resolutions but cannot persist for more than half an hour each time.
Until one day, he woke up and came to the realm of domination. He joined a good team and met a good captain.
At that time, Captain Long Ming was preparing his own formal team, but unlike other formal teams, he did not directly recruit members. Instead, he personally led the temporary team to carry out missions and personally selected team members.
Sancho didn't know whether he was selected or not, but several unsuitable team members were expelled from the temporary team by Captain Long Ming, leaving only him and Xiao Xia.
Maybe I was chosen.
Just when he thought that if nothing unexpected happened, he would join the formal team formed by Captain Long Ming in the future, and the assistant captain would also occupy a place among the many formal teams in the Domination field, a large-scale Domination mission that no one expected came.
Their makeshift team was thrown into a mission to strangle several so-called traitors from the Dominant Realm, as well as a dark force from other high-dimensional forces.
Then, it seemed that they had failed, and their dominance over the domain also seemed to have failed.
They were captured and thrown into what looked like a hibernation chamber.
Everything Sancho had experienced flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.
A massive amount of information belonging to hundreds of millions of Dominant Conquerors was extracted and recorded in the database within the War Star and browsed by Yinghuo.
Soon, Yinghuo selected some of the Dominant Conquerors who met the requirements according to Lin Xu's request.
Thus, in the torrent of consciousness, Sancho's consciousness was marked as qualified.
Soon, the hibernation chambers of qualified beings among the hundreds of millions of Dominant Conquerors were transferred to another location by the autonomous mechanical aggregates.
When Sancho slowly woke up from his sleep, he first felt as if he had just had a nightmare and his brain was extremely tired.
He was then awakened by the sound of knocking on the door outside the hibernation chamber.
Then he noticed four faces outside through the narrow glass of the cabin door.
One is from Xiao Xia, one is from Captain Long Ming, and the other is from Uncle Wanli.
Captain Long Ming succeeded? This was his first reaction.
So, are we going to jailbreak?
Sancho groped and soon found the opening in the hibernation chamber. With a burst of gas, he opened the hibernation chamber.
Then, as soon as the hatch of the hibernation chamber was opened, he spoke first.
"Where to run? Where is the exit?"
"Where are you running? Are you confused from all the sleep?" Xiao Xia reached out and touched his forehead, and found that he didn't have a fever.
"What is this? What's going on?" Sancho then noticed that there were countless hibernation chambers parked in the entire spacious hall .
The doors of every hibernation chamber were open, and countless Domination fighters walked out of the doors. Some were daydreaming in the hall, while others were communicating with people around them who seemed to be teammates.
"I don't know, it seems like we passed." Xiao Xia shrugged.
"Passed?" Sancho was stunned for a moment, then wondered, "So there are still people who failed?"
"Of course there are. Look at those people who are just daydreaming. It's because their teammates failed, only they passed. We are lucky, we all passed." Xiao Xia said happily.
"No, not all of them are qualified. The two newcomers are missing." Long Ming's tone was a little unhappy.
"We are lucky. Four of us have passed. I just asked around, and apart from us, there are very few teams with so many senior people who have passed." Uncle Wanli comforted.
"Why did I fail? What are the criteria for passing?" Sancho asked puzzledly as he crawled out of the hibernation chamber.
"I don't know, maybe it depends on luck?" Xiao Xia said, tilting his head.
"It depends on luck?" Sancho's tone was full of disbelief.
So, I was chosen again? I am so lucky. Sancho sighed silently.
"Don't think too much, it's time to start." Uncle Wanli reached out and patted Sancho on the shoulder and said.
Sancho was still puzzled, and the next moment a large number of things that looked like construction machinery fell from the sky and took away all the hibernation chambers in the hall.
They were the only conquerors left in the hall.
No, or it can’t be called a conqueror.
Because Sancho felt it and his expression suddenly changed.
"What happened? Why have the Overlord's task panel anymore? And where are the points I saved?"
"Discovered? We have no connection with the Overlord now. It should be that the existence that is hostile to the Overlord has removed the Overlord's mark on us. From now on, we are no longer the Overlord's conquerors." Uncle Wanli sighed with a complicated expression.
I have imagined breaking away from the master countless times, but now that I have really broken away from the master, I feel a little uncomfortable for a while. Maybe this is the complexity of human nature.
"Think about it more positively. This is a good thing. Didn't we discuss this a long time ago that we must break away from the master if we have the chance?" Xiao Xia at the side comforted.
"Yes, but if I leave like this, what about the points I have accumulated? Oh, and what about my abilities?" Sancho's expression changed again.
"Don't worry, the ability is still there, but I'm afraid there won't be a chance to strengthen it in the future." Xiao Xia looked a little gloomy when she said this.
"Well, that may not be the case." Uncle Wanli on the side said with a smile.
"Uncle Wanli, what do you mean?" Xiao Xia widened her eyes in surprise.
"Have you ever thought about why this existence at the same level as the Overlord chose us?" Uncle Wanli thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
"Could it be that this existence also wants to establish a similar domain of domination?" Sancho's eyes widened instantly.
"No way." Xiao Xia also looked incredulous.
"Well, that may not be the case." Uncle Wanli on the side said with a smile.
"This is just a guess, and the criteria used by this existence to select conquerors may be completely different from those used to dominate the domain." Long Ming, who had been silent the whole time but seemed to be observing his surroundings, spoke up.
"Captain, have you found anything?" Sancho asked with his eyes lighting up.
Uncle Wanli also looked at Long Ming with interest.
"I think the standards may be similar to the ones I use to select team members, otherwise how could we all be selected." Long Ming said with a smile.
"Captain, stop joking." Sancho subconsciously felt that it was impossible. How could the thoughts of such a great existence be understood by mortals like them?
"Maybe I'm just overthinking it." Long Ming continued to look around.
Although it seemed that only a few million were selected from the hundreds of millions of Overlord conquerors, he felt that each of them was pleasing to the eye.
So if you really work with a group of people like this, it seems like a good idea to switch sides.
