1367 Unexpected Transaction
The flowing light particles form an endless shuttle channel in front of your eyes, extending infinitely, with only a point of light at the end. Time and space are stretched into an infinite line in the senses. It is unknown how much distance has been spanned, and how much time has passed.
But it seemed like only a moment had passed.
Countless bizarre scenes passed by outside the passage, and the body floated as if it had turned into a burst of smoke. For a moment, the existence of the body could not be felt, and all the senses used to detect the world were mixed into a ball, but in the next moment,
All perceptions returned to normal, and his vision suddenly changed, and he had arrived in a new space.
Endless black fog filled the air here, with occasional flashes of red lightning, like storm clouds brewing with lightning, or like lava clouds from volcanic eruptions, a doomsday scene.
A black mountain range flowing with scarlet light like lava is suspended in the black mist, like a rootless floating island. The central peak is steep and towering, and a rusty dark golden chain wraps around it, forming a spiral pattern, connecting
Looking at a black crystal-like platform suspended in the air, a huge black figure like a mountain was sitting on it, and countless glowing red eyes turned in unison, overlooking it.
"Oh, I'm afraid this style of painting will lower my SAN value."
Han Xiao took a look and immediately smacked his lips. He admired the scenery of this secondary dimension with great interest and took a photo as a souvenir. Otherwise, if there was a fight later, he might accidentally pinch this place.
Broken.
Looking up at the mountain-like figure, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
"Are you the King of the Unbounded?"
I have to say that this guy’s appearance is quite deceptive. At first glance, ordinary people may be shocked to the point of losing their minds and trigger a bone-deep phobia of giant creatures. However, Han Xiao is used to seeing big winds and waves, and this kind of scene is very important to him.
It has no impact at all, and the shock is far less than a fleet salvo in the Battle of the Interception Circle.
"Yes, I'm waiting for you, Black Star." The Unbounded King replied slowly.
"You know me?"
Han Xiao was a little surprised. He lowered his head and glanced at the Babuanika in his hand. He remembered that he didn't seem to have reported his family name... Could it be that our name has been passed from the main universe to the depths of the secondary dimension? Is it so prestigious?
!
"I know your purpose of coming. You want to take away this fleet and this intelligent creature named Harrison, right? I learned about the situation of your civilization from their memories."
The Unbounded King sat motionless, but a black mist in the sky suddenly moved away, revealing a fleet, which was the missing expedition team of the three major civilizations. However, it was only shown for a moment, and the black mist covered it up again, unable to do so.
Perception.
The unconscious Harrison flew up from the platform and floated in front of it.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, but he was not in a hurry to take action. He asked curiously: "So that's it. Then what do you want to do when you are waiting for me here?"
The Unbounded King did not answer immediately, but said slowly: "I usually digest the prey I capture immediately, but I learned your name from their memory. To be honest, I am very afraid of you, the main material universe."
advanced life forms, because of your existence, I did not eat them immediately."
"You're quite calm."
Han Xiao looked up and down at the King of Boundless, a little surprised.
Your cowardice saved you, baby!
Just knowing my backer from the memories of Harrison and others, I didn't dare to attack the expedition team... It seems that we are still very intimidating and have a good reputation.
Seeing that the person was giving him face, Han Xiao's expression softened a little, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "In that case, I don't mind making friends with you, so let's let him go first."
The Unbounded King shook his head, "I didn't say I would return the person to you."
Hearing this, Han Xiao made a move.
"You don't want to provoke me, but you don't want to pay me back, so what are you going to do?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
"Deal? Although you didn't eat these people, you captured them. You don't owe you any favors inside or outside. You want to use these people as bargaining chips in the deal? I think it's very confusing."
Han Xiao stood with his arms folded and responded casually.
The Unbounded King slowly said:
"No, my bargaining chip is the information about the three major civilizations in their memory. You are at war with World Tree. I believe World Tree must like this information very much and can follow the clues to reach your secondary dimension territory, and I just have a way to contact you.
The dependents of the World Tree.”
This news was unexpected. Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately put down his hands, suppressed his smile, and remained expressionless.
"Threatening me? Are you tired of living?"
"It's not a threat, it's just self-protection. Even if you agree to trade with me, I'm afraid that you will retaliate against me after I return the person to you. I don't have the confidence to defeat you... and with this trump card, believe me.
Safety will be guaranteed, which is the basis for reaching a deal."
The King of Unbounded's tone was natural.
"...How can I believe you when you say you can contact the World Tree Familia? You want to scare me with just a few words? I don't dare to bet that you learned the terms from their memories. Show me the evidence."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
The Unbounded King didn't take it seriously and explained:
"I understand what you mean, but I didn't lie to you. Although you and Yggdrasil are at war in the main material universe, the secondary dimensional world is actually their base camp. They have devoured one secondary dimension after another for countless years.
But the secondary dimensions are endless, and World Tree does not just eat every one it sees. The main method of expansion is to take root, put their mark on each secondary dimension, transform it into territory, and open up the power of rapid shuttle. For some specific
In the secondary dimension, they won't even interfere and focus on observation and research.
While expanding, they sent countless Familia to explore outwards, spreading the name of World Tree and contact channels, similar to what they did in the main material universe. One of the Familia exploration teams once passed through my outer territory, and I
One of the defenders learned a lot of information and reported it to me..."
With that said, the Unbounded King shared a small part of the relevant memories through spiritual communication.
Han Xiao checked it and found that there was no sign of forgery. It did have the contact information of the World Tree Familia, and he suddenly felt a little ache.
'It's a bit tricky... If we kill this guy, there is no 100% chance of preventing the leak of intelligence. If the World Tree opens a secondary dimension front, our situation will be even worse.'
Han Xiao's eyes flashed and he made quick calculations in his mind.
The main body of the World Tree is rooted in the secondary dimension, and this is its key construction site. Although the main body was found in the previous life, if the high-dimensional Apocalypse teleporter did not land in the hinterland and launch a beheading raid, it would be almost impossible for a frontal attack to pass through the surrounding areas near the World Tree main body.
Secondary dimension defense circle.
The three major civilizations are now in a good situation. One of the reasons is that Yggdrasil did not have the time to figure out the secondary dimensions of the three major civilizations like in the previous life, and did not open this front, so a lot of pressure was relieved.
Seeing Han Xiao's expression changing and his murderous intention appearing and disappearing, the King of Unbounded spoke again and said:
"You don't have to worry about me using this as a handle to blackmail you. With the abilities of advanced life forms like you, there is a high probability that you can escape even if your civilization is destroyed. Then this trump card will no longer be able to protect me..."
So you can rest assured that I just want to make a deal with you, and I won’t force you to do anything excessive. As long as you don’t do anything to me, I don’t have any need to tell the truth. Believe me, no one wants to take the initiative to deal with Yggdrasil.”
The King of Boundaries spoke with sincerity. Although he had grasped an excuse, he really did not dare to make excessive demands. He did not think that this trump card could support him to act arbitrarily in front of the opponent. In his opinion, he only gained the opportunity to do so with the opponent.
Eligibility for trading.
Han Xiao rubbed his chin and looked at the King of Boundless thoughtfully.
This Unbounded King is a powerful dimensional spiritual entity, and his name is also very deceiving, but he has always maintained a low profile in front of him. Although he has useful handles, he is not tough at all, but rather timid.
Han Xiao pondered for a few seconds, temporarily suppressed his hostility, and asked:
"...Tell me about your deal, what do you want me to do for you?"
"There are only two things. One is to allow me to project my power after you break out the battle and harvest the souls of some of the dead in the battlefield, as well as the wreckage of some damaged battleships. The material of the main universe is quite valuable to us."
Are you trying to compete with Hades for business?
And he also works part-time to recycle battleship wreckage. Are you an interstellar scrap collector?
Han Xiao's expression became strange. He glanced at the slowly flowing black mist around him, and felt that the image of the King of Unbounded suddenly changed into that of the garbage station master, and his personality was instantly gone.
"...What about the second thing?"
"I once had a special secondary dimension, but it was snatched away by another group of dimensional entities. They were very difficult to deal with. I have not been able to deal with them. I hope you can help me get it back."
Han Xiao smacked his lips and said noncommittally:
"I can help you with these two things, but since you said that the method of informing is only self-protection and not a threat, then I will not regard it as a bargaining chip. And the price you offered is not appropriate. I need more things."
"What do you want?" The Unbounded King did not refuse to bargain.
"I need more information about World Tree in the secondary dimension. Tell me everything you know. In addition, I want some of that black substance for research. Finally... maybe we can cooperate to deal with the world. They have been in the secondary dimension.
Dimension expansion will reach your territory sooner or later, so it’s best to strike first.” Han Xiao said slowly.
"I can promise you the first two points. As for dealing with World Tree, forget it. I can't afford to offend them, so I just need to hide."
As expected, the King of Unbounded Really refused.
Han Xiao smiled.
"Don't be too afraid. The World Tree has the weakness of its main body. As long as the main body is eliminated, your threat will be eliminated once and for all. Isn't this good? And maybe a large number of souls will be released as your food."
Although Harrison and others were arrested, which led to the hidden danger of intelligence leakage, Harrison's luck may not turn bad luck into happiness. Thinking on the bright side, this is also a person who learned about the power of Yggdrasil in the secondary dimension from an insider.
Opportunity.
So instead of launching an attack, he was trying to find new foreign aid. After all, he was once the successor of socialism, and it has become a habit to unite all the forces that can be united.
"It sounds very tempting, but I'm not sure yet whether the body actually exists. Let's talk about it after you find it."
The Unbounded King is noncommittal.
Seeing this, Han Xiao did not force him. He had known that the other party would not agree easily and bring up this topic.
At this moment, the panel suddenly moved and a prompt popped up.
