Aesop, Verna, and Jenny were chatting when a spaceship familiar to the three of them came from afar, which was Han Xiao's Black Light Stalker.

"Why did he come back?"

The three of them were all stunned, they had just talked about Han Xiao, and said Black Star, Black Star had arrived?

The black light lurkers squeezed into the dock of Longtan Floating Island, the hatch opened, Han Xiao fell to the ground, glanced at the star thieves who were shivering like quails in the corner of the dock, pouted, and then saw Aesop and the three of them in a blink of an eye, and walked over to say hello.

"Yo, they're all here."

"What are you doing here?" Jenny snorted.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you, especially your charming hairline, which makes me think about it day and night, and I can't sleep well...... By the way, have you had any sleep time lately? ”

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, he had been together for so long, he knew Jenny's G-spot very well, and knew how to make her blow up.

"What a bastard you're in!" Jenny was poked in the sore spot, gritted her teeth, didn't bother to talk to Han Xiao anymore, turned around and left, her steps stomped heavily on the ground, as if she had used the ground as Han Xiao's basin, and she couldn't wait to poke Longtan Floating Island out of the hole with the heel of her shoe.

Seeing Jenny go away, Han Xiao looked at Verna, "What were you doing just now?" ”

"I—we're reviewing the Second Field Force......" Verna muttered, her face slightly red. This army was formed by Han Xiao at the expense of money, and Aesop had just told her that this was a symbol of Han Xiao's decision, when the main owner suddenly appeared, she was uncomfortable, and she felt an inexplicable nervousness of being caught.

Isolt had seen the wind and waves, but she was not embarrassed at all, and she turned the topic and said, "Are you looking for Ames, she doesn't know that you are back, and now you should be practicing abilities in the palace, you go to him." ”

Han Xiao nodded, rubbed Verna's head casually, and saw that her face was so red that it was ripe, and it was almost hot and smoking, so he left satisfied.

Although Verna is a natural disaster, this girl is too soft and cute, Han Xiao always can't help but want to touch her head and tease her every time he sees her, after all, he is his future successor, he is not polite, and his attitude is casual.

He had just settled a hire, and it happened that the floating island of Longtan was nearby, so he simply came back for a walk, preparing to use the blank character card by the way, and burn an ability of Ames.

All the way to the vicinity of the palace, Han Xiao ran into Hela and Aurora, and his eyes lit up.

Hela is wearing a red tight-fitting combat uniform made of high-strength nanofiber, compared with three years ago, her mind is broader, her figure is more hot, her appearance and temperament are getting closer and closer to the "goddess of death" in her previous life, she is very cold and indifferent, and her cold painting style and a charming and cold face make it seem to have a kind of contrasting seductive charm.

Aurora on the side has also grown a lot taller, the skeleton size is still one size smaller than Hela, but the amount of milk is evenly divided, and at a glance, you can know that she has developed her life ability very well, her skin is white and tender, and she is full of vitality, which is obviously overnutrition.

The two of them were covered with sweat stains on their foreheads, and they were walking out of the palace, as if they had just had a workout, and when they saw Han Xiao, they stopped at the same time.

"Wow, did you come to see us?" Aurora looked surprised, threw herself into Han Xiao's arms and twisted.

The corners of Hela's eyes twitched, and she slowly paced over.

"Okay, okay, big enough, big enough." Han Xiao hurriedly pushed Aurora away from the door of her head, looked at the two of them, and looked relieved, "It seems that you have practiced well with Ames. ”

The ability potential of the two sisters has reached the S level, they have grown rapidly, and the energy fluctuations emitted have reached the B-level standard, Hela is more powerful, and Han Xiao visually measured that Hela's energy level is about 6000.

In the original plot of version 3.0, she reached the Cataclysm level, although she has not improved her strength by slaughter now, but with her potential and hard work, the probability of being promoted to the Cataclysm level in the past seven years is still quite high. ’

Han Xiao's thought flashed, he paused, rubbed Aurora's head, and asked Hela, "When you become a natural disaster, come back and help me." ”

With the record of the previous life as the foundation, Hela's combat effectiveness is definitely not weak, and when she reaches the A level, she will definitely be able to become a right-hand man, and Aurora has an amazing amount of milk, and with this powerful treatment, it can effectively reduce the casualties of cadres, which has a great effect.

"Okay." Hela nodded, this time answering very decisively, not arrogant at all.

"I thought you'd hesitate for a while, after all, it's safe here in Ames, haven't you always prioritized safety."

Hela was expressionless, "This was originally something we had agreed on, when I reached the level of natural disaster, I could naturally protect Aurora, I can't stay in one place all the time, since I have come to the universe, of course, I can see all corners of the world, and she also has a certain ability to protect herself." ”

Han Xiao looked at Hella left and right, "Why do I feel a little insincere?" ”

"Kouheng." Hela turned her face away.

She practiced hard, not only to protect Aurora in the more dangerous sea of stars, but also to have the qualifications to help Han Xiao as soon as possible, so as to repay his kindness, she had a strong character, and she must pay back what she owes to others.

And doing things for Han Xiao, I can see him often, and I can only see Han Xiao once for a long time when I practice in Longtan, so I miss him.

"Are you here for Lord Ryuza?" Hela asked.

"Uh-huh."

“…… She's supposed to be in the garden, you go find her. ”

Hela lowered her eyes.

Han Xiao was about to step into the palace, when Hela suddenly stopped him behind him, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the level of your strength?" ”

She has not yet reached the level where Han Xiao is, and all kinds of news have exaggerated elements, so she has always been curious about Han Xiao's real combat power.

"Well, I can probably let you beat 100,000 of you with two hands." Han Xiao smiled.

Hela gritted her teeth.

Obviously, he and Han Xiao knew each other first, but now he can't even catch up with Han Xiao, and his competitiveness is stimulated again.

……

When she came to the garden, Ames was levitating in the air, looking at a dim star in the sky.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she glanced down and slowly landed in front of Han Xiao, her long silky hair and gauzy black dress fluttering in the wind.

"You're back, Blackstar." Ames's eyes bent, and she praised with a smile: "I heard about your funding for the second field force, and you did a good job." ”

"It's easy to do anything when you have money." Han Xiao smiled, and quietly used the blank character card on the panel to use it on Ames, and the new character card suddenly took shape and became Ames's character advent card.

"Did you come back to me for something?" Ames blinked.

"Can't I come back to see you if it's okay?" Han Xiao naturally wouldn't say it directly, it was for the blank character card.

Ames suddenly sighed, "You're becoming more and more unrestrained in front of me. ”

"It's not because we know each other well." Han Xiao snorted.

"Is that all?" Ames stared into Han Xiao's eyes, smiling rather than smiling.

Black Star is getting stronger and stronger, her identity and strength are constantly improving, the gap between the two in all aspects is shrinking rapidly, and Black Star is becoming more and more casual when facing her, no longer pretending to be a subordinate, but more like communicating on an equal footing.

The thought flashed, and Ames suddenly said, "How long has it been since I last visited your territory?" ”

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "It's been a few years, what's wrong?" ”

The last time Ames visited the Blackstar Legion was at the beginning of version 2.0, and it was at that time that the two Hela sisters were accepted as students.

"It's only been a few years, and your power has grown to the point where it is now, Black Star, take me to your territory again." Ames tilted her head, with a smile in her eyes that Han Xiao couldn't understand.

Han Xiao was a little surprised, but he was also used to the casual character of Ames, who thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing to refuse, and felt that Amesy was very quiet and flustered (idle), so he nodded, "Okay, since you want to lead the inspection, then I will accompany you, it just so happens that I have been on vacation recently, so let's go to the headquarters of the Black Star Legion, how about it?" ”

"Well, you do." Ames smiled.

The two said they would go.

Isolt was still at the dock to inspect the troops, did not leave, and saw that Han Xiao had only left for a short while, so he took Ames on the spaceship and took him away, looking helpless when he boarded.

……

Golden Gate Star in outer space orbit, a satellite of the headquarters of the Black Star Legion.

The Black Light Stalker returned to the headquarters, the two stepped off the spaceship, Han Xiao took Ames to visit various areas of the headquarters, and the members of the Black Star Legion who passed by on the way cast strange eyes.

The rumors of the separation of the two have not disappeared, and at this time, seeing their own legion commander and Ames appear together, many people are in a strange mood, for now, Ames is still the top boss of the Black Star Legion, as if he came to inspect.

Han Xiao was introducing all the way, Ames listened silently without speaking, and quickly walked through all the areas of the headquarters, and finally came to Han Xiao's office, at this time, all the cadres of the Black Star Legion who were staying at the headquarters were summoned by Han Xiao and waited in the office to meet with Ames and accept the review.

As soon as Ames entered the door, the cadres of the Black Star Legion who were waiting stood up one after another, bowed their heads, and gave enough respect to the super A-level powerhouse.

Ames glanced at Melos and smiled, "I still remember that you are all old subordinates of Black Star. ”

"Your name is Melos, isn't it?" Ames came up to Melos and nodded with a smile, "I can see your potential, you should be able to reach the Cataclysm level." ”

Melos's face was happy, he had been worried about this matter, and his mood was a lot lighter at this time, he believed in the judgment of the super A-level.

Ames then came to Alosia, and when she saw that she was still so cold, she smiled slightly, and without saying much, she moved to Sylvia again, and reached out and touched Sylvia's head.

"What a smart child, I think you also have the potential to become a natural disaster."

Sylvia blinked with wide eyes, feeling strange in her heart.

She always had the feeling that Ames seemed to like to guess other people's potential, and wondered if it was her quirk.

Ames stopped in front of each cadre for a while, and said a few words, each cadre reacted differently, Ferding smiled warmly, Harmon looked dazed, Renard was serious, Lotherine was neither humble nor arrogant, and the three Cataclysmic people who came to Kampe, Marion, and Miscage were trembling and excited.

Finally coming to Rakhi, Ames took a few more looks, "I didn't expect you to be the Forbidden Witch Commander under Austin." ”

"Well, what's the use of that, isn't it still fired."

Laki sighed, he was used to seeing super A-level powerhouses, and his attitude at this time was the most casual among the cadres, and at first glance he was a salted fish who had seen the world.

Ames smiled and returned to Han Xiao's side, she had just inspected a circle, and at this time, no one in the legion cadres spoke, and her aura was all suppressed by Ames.

"Alright, Blackstar, I'm going back."

"That's leaving?" Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and came all the way over to walk around and left, don't you stay and play for a few days.

"I've seen what I want to see." Ames shook her head.

The rise of the Black Star Legion is too fast, observing the Black Star Legion is equivalent to observing Han Xiao's ambitions, she has figured out what she wants to know, and she already has the answer in her heart.

Maybe...... I'm really not fit to be his leader.

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, he understood something, sighed secretly, and had to let the cadres disperse, and took Ames back to the dock, and the two were silent all the way.

"Give me a spaceship, I'll go back by myself, I don't need you to go again." Ames spoke.

"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it." Han Xiao called the person in charge of the dock and asked him to bring a spare spaceship.

The two waited for the ship at the docks, and Ames, without looking back, suddenly spoke.

"A few years ago, you informed me that you were going to join a secret war, but you didn't ask me for help, so why didn't you do it?"

When Han Xiao heard this, he coughed and said: "Your identity is sensitive, you are not suitable to participate in the secret war, I informed you, you didn't stop me, I just acquiesced to you, and at that time you didn't express your intention to intervene, so I didn't ask you for help." ”

"But why not try?"

What does that mean...... Han Xiao frowned, he could only see the back of Ames's head, and he still didn't look back, so he had to divert the topic.

"A few years ago I was ...... Ahem, when Krent was ambushed, I asked you for help, but you didn't agree. ”

Han Xiao said that when he was in the third ring of the [Prey] mission, he had asked for Ames's help, but he was rejected.

"If you insisted at that time, I would still agree to you, and if you insisted on inviting me to join the secret war, I would not necessarily refuse...... Although I don't like to get involved in these things. Ames's tone was indifferent.

Han Xiao couldn't see her face, so he could only analyze it from her tone and asked tentatively, "You mean, you want to meddle in the secret war?"

"I don't need me anymore."

Ames paused, changed her words, and said lightly: "Since the first day I met you, I haven't seen you stop your steps, why?" ”

Is this a dumb riddle with me, when did you talk so foggy...... The corners of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, he thought about it, and said helplessly: "It's not time to stop, you have the capital to stop, but I don't." ”

“…… What are you afraid of? ”

Han Xiao's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't answer.

Just then, a spaceship finally stopped in front of Ames, the hatch opened, and the gangway was lowered to invite her onboard.

Ames stretched, tightened her clothes, outlined her graceful waist, sighed, and said softly, "I hope one day you are willing to stop and look at the scenery along the way...... No matter how big this universe is, there is an end, but the ambition never ends. ”

With that, she strode up the gangway and closed the hatch, cutting off Han Xiao's sight, never looking back, not seeing her expression.

Seeing the spaceship shoot out of orbit and disappear into the sky as a streamer, Han Xiao retracted his gaze, exhaled, and rubbed his temples.

He always felt that Ames's temper was becoming more and more capricious now.

When did she start to change...... Han Xiao pondered.

……

The Red Empire and the Radiant Federation are in conflict, and their influence radiates to the entire Star Sea, leading the whole body, and the various star fields are affected by the Red Tide, the turmoil continues to ferment, the pattern of interests is slowly shuffled in various conflicts, and the various star clusters of the Broken Star Ring have also had large or small battles.

The red tide swept across the entire sea of stars, and in comparison, the chaos of the broken star ring was only the tip of the iceberg under the general trend of the red tide.

The situation of the secret war is several times more complicated than in the previous life, there are more participants, and there are even many "accidents" that did not happen before, but in general, the war field and Organ Zero are still evenly matched, and the situation is deadlocked.

Scenes of ion cannons, broken warships, and superpowers fighting occurred one after another, and countless battles, negotiations, assassinations, looting, and rebellion were staged one after another.

War is also an opportunity, no one fights for the sake of war, and the Black Star Legion draws nutrients from it and expands steadily.

Han Xiao is active in secret wars, nourishing war with war, and becoming the brightest new star on this stage.

The general trend is like a rushing river, which can never be stopped or reversed, and the secret war between Clente and Amethyst in the broken star ring is also intensifying in this chaos that affects the entire universe.

The raging flames of war took away seven years of time in this universe.
