From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Here is the capital of the Sikes Civilization, Queen Star, the political and cultural center.

It is also the most heavily armed place in the Sikes Civilization.

Once a battle occurs here, would the Sikes Civilization just sit by and watch?

To the Sikes Civilization, all humans are aliens.

The Sikes Civilization wouldn't care about the rights and wrongs between two human teams; if the battle damages their buildings or properties, they would capture everyone involved—if not possible, they would directly open fire and kill.

Therefore, once the battle begins, one must consider how to handle the firepower of the Sikes Civilization.

Of course, that wasn't completely unmanageable.

After quickly contemplating in his mind, Lu Heng said, "Professor, please transmit the evidence you just collected to the officials, and issue a wanted notice for the raiding team.

"At the same time, help me apply for a warrant to assist in their capture, and make it quick."

Having arranged these two matters, Lu Heng pushed open the car door and said to the teammates who came with him, "Move, Mu Yu, break through the opponent's perception blockade and monitor the target. I'll go in first."

"Okay!" Su Muyu agreed with a nod, raised his hand and, controlling the Chongming Bird, turned it into a streak of light that flew into the Mars Building to monitor the position of the raiding team.

Lu Heng leaped onto the wall of the Mars Building, instantly broke the sound barrier, and ran across the exterior towards the floor of the Clarence Organic Life Research Institute.

...

Meanwhile,

Inside the Clarence Organic Life Research Institute,

After hearing the secrets in the Superpower Potion, the Pharaoh gathered Void Energy again, intending to destroy this mechanical researcher.

The Clarence researcher felt the peril anew and spoke out through electronic tones with words that made Pharaoh fall into silence again.

"You did not honor your promise, so I must remind you that the Superpower Potion iteration technology scheme stored in the Quantum Storage Device has been encrypted. You have only two ways to unlock it: one is by stealing my digital signature; the second is by paying 23 million Star Circle Currency to buy the key."

The expression behind the gold mask of the Pharaoh turned very grim.

His goal for this operation was the Superpower Potion iteration technology scheme; if he couldn't unlock it, acquiring the information would be useless.

As for brute forcing the decryption, even thinking with his toes would let him know it's impossible.

If humans were capable of decrypting data encrypted by the Sikes Civilization, would they still need to undergo so much trouble to steal the information?

Pharaoh clenched the Void Energy in his hand, threatening, "Unlock it now!"

The Clarence researcher continued to answer in an emotionally flat electronic tone, "You have successfully stolen my digital signature. The technical data will unlock in 30 minutes, but if you destroy my mechanical core, the digital signature will become invalid."

The Pharaoh really wanted to crush this annoying robot in front of him, but getting the technical data was more important than venting his rage.

The reason he could become the leader of his team was that he possessed greater calmness and wisdom than others.

Therefore, he retracted the Void Energy, considering waiting until after the technical data unlocked.

At that moment,

A member of the team wearing a blue totem mask, a Blue Blood, who was the Perceiver and a double series of Spirit and Perception, came in to report the situation outside.

Among human civilization, Perceivers who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him could be counted on one hand.

After entering, he reported, "Someone from outside is coming in; it's Team 028. Should I give him an order to stop him from coming in?"

Pharaoh spoke gravely, "You can try, but he won't listen. He probably wants to kill us."

The Blue Blood was a bit surprised and asked, "Is 028 that crazy?"

Pharaoh scoffed, "He's not just crazy; he doesn't regard us at all, he even dares to toy with the organization."

He didn't explain further; explaining the Superpower Potion matter was too troublesome.

Hearing their conversation, Red Beard, a burly member, asked, "Let me try clashing with 028. It's been a long time since I've met an opponent who could take a punch from me."

The Blue Blood shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there's no chance now, mechanical guards from within three kilometers are all converging this way, it looks like the Sikes Civilization is taking action."

"Let's leave here first."

Pharaoh said, flipping over his palm to draw out a Magic Wand, gathered Source Material Energy, and drew a circle in the air.

The Magic Wand friction with the air sparked flames.

The circle was complete, and a Void Gate had formed.

The raiding team members quickly entered the Void Gate and disappeared within.

At that moment,

Lu Heng burst through the wall and rushed into the Clarence Research Institute's lab, but it was too late to draw his sword.

Holding a researcher from the Clarence Institute in one hand and a magic wand in the other, the Pharaoh gestured to Lu Heng before retreating into the Void Gate.

The Void Gate slowly closed.

Pharaoh spoke, "028, you are more difficult to control than I had anticipated."

Lu Heng lunged forward and tried to grab something, but the Void Gate closed instantly, and he caught nothing.

Su Muyu's voice came through the communicator: "There are hundreds of mechanical guards surrounding us, should we withdraw?"

Lu Heng asked, "Yuan Yaoyao?"

Yuan Yaoyao's voice came from the communicator: "No need to retreat, we have obtained permission to assist in the arrest; we have an official alien visa."

"Then there's no hurry," Lu Heng looked around, hoping to find information about the raiding team.

At that moment,

A device resembling an indoor environment controller on the lab bench suddenly activated, popping up a light screen displaying the image of the Ze Wei'er Matrix that spoke,

"I have reviewed the Sikes Civilization's official file on you, which is very comprehensive, containing all information from your last conscription. The current evaluation in the file is friendly; if you wish to contact the officials, you can attempt."

Lu Heng looked around and sighed, "That mechanic researcher has been captured."

Ze Wei'er Matrix spoke calmly, "As long as this raiding team desires technological data, they cannot destroy this researcher.

"Based on the calculation results of the researcher's neural system, they will not provide the key until a 100% safe plan is calculated.

"Unless this raiding team doesn't want the technological data and chooses to destroy it."

"Alright."

Lu Heng noticed an interesting fact, Sikes Civilization's mechanical citizens usually don't spread false information, but they can sometimes be difficult to deal with.

Especially the Clarence researchers, known for their computing power—it's not so easy to manipulate them.

Of course, if the Pharaoh could be ruthless enough to give up the technological data already obtained, he could destroy it in minutes.

...

A few minutes later,

The first batch of mechanical guards entered the Clarence Research Institute, and upon spotting Lu Heng, conducted a comprehensive scan.

Lu Heng spoke up, "I have applied for permission to assist in the arrest, and I have also reported the incident here."

After scanning Lu Heng, the mechanical guard emitted an electronic sound: "Authentication complete. Identity: Lu Heng, alien being, applied for permission to assist in the arrest 5 minutes and 13 seconds ago; approval has been granted.

"The crime scene is now under the control of the mechanical guards. Please leave immediately and do not remove any items from the scene."

Having already looked around without finding any clues about the raiding team,

And now that the scene was under the control of the mechanical guards, there was no need for Lu Heng to stay, so he walked past the mechanical guards and left the research institute.

...

As he walked out of the Mars Building,

Jian Qing approached him and asked, "How did it go?"

She had been leading the team outside, monitoring the surroundings.

The Creator Organization's raiding team had used the Void Gate to leave directly, never appearing outside the building.

Lu Heng shook his head, "This opponent is tough; that Pharaoh turned out to be a 'Void Mage.'"

Back at the Clarence Organic Life Research Institute, Lu Heng had seen the Void Gate opened by the Pharaoh, recognizing it at a glance.

That Void Gate was precisely the Third Transition Class 'Void Mage's' Source Material Ability, allowing the immediate opening of a Void Gate to the set marker's location whenever needed.

This raiding team was extraordinarily strong, arguably one of the top superpower user teams in human civilization.
