In the vast universe, a silver-white battleship was slowly moving forward. When a laser shot from afar, a circular defensive charm array appeared around the ship, blocking the laser. The next moment, dozens of lasers came from different angles, draining the power of the charm array.
"Warning, warning, the Voyager is under attack. The defense array is more than 30% depleted. Please be prepared for battle!"
When the alarm sounded through the broadcast, all the soldiers in the Voyager were ready for battle. They were clad in heavy armor and wielded standard weapons. They stood in rows in the corridor. As long as the enemy appeared within their attack range, they would open the hatch and rush out, killing the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor behind!
They were the best of the best. The weakest of them was at least in the middle stage of the Dongxu realm. Unless a universe overlord came personally, no one would be able to fight them!
In the past, this was what they thought. However, when a black battleship slowly appeared in front of them like a ghost, the confidence on everyone's face turned serious, and even despair!
The fortress-class battleship, the Dead Soul!
This was a terrifying existence that made countless mercenaries tremble when they heard the name. This was because the Dead Soul belonged to the powerful Queen of Night Serenity. She was the strongest Dongxu realm cultivator in the Celestial Cluster who was closest to the Combination Stage. Other than universe overlords, no Dongxu realm cultivator was her match!
In the Celestial Cluster, the battleships were divided into four classes. They were Assault Class, War Class, Fortress Class, and Carrier Class.
Just the powerful firepower of the fortress-class Dead Soul was enough to tear the Voyager apart. Their resistance was completely meaningless, so they chose to surrender. This was their only way to survive.
When the Voyager stopped moving forward and resisting, the Dead Soul Fleet also stopped attacking. A group of space pirates walked into the Voyager with smiles on their faces. Looking at the mercenaries who had already surrendered, they laughed. "I heard you were hired by the Yin Clan to deliver a batch of very important treasures to the 49th district. Is that true?"
The leader of the mercenaries, Naji, nodded and said with a trembling voice, "Yes."
"What are the treasures?
Tell me. "
Planck squatted in front of Naji and said with a smile, "Or you can tell me how many star stones this batch of treasures is worth. We'll calculate it according to first-grade star stones."
Naji shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. After the treasure was sent to the flying ship, it was placed in the storage room. We didn't go in to see it."
"Then lead the way. Show me the way." Planck smiled. "I like such surprises."
Naji wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. He turned around and led Planck and the rest to the storeroom. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they had no intention of resisting because they knew very well that resisting now was equivalent to courting death!
When they arrived in front of the storage room, Najib skillfully entered the password and opened the door of the storage room. Planck thought they would see some precious treasures, but he didn't expect to see a black coffin!
Seeing this black coffin, Planck was slightly stunned. He asked Naji, "Is this the treasure you were talking about?"
Naji nodded and replied, "This is what the Yin Clan asked us to send to the 49th district. Other than that, there's nothing else."
Planck could tell that Naji wasn't lying, but it was because of this that he felt strange. He didn't understand why the Yin Clan would be so cautious in hiring these guys to send a coffin to the 49th district. Could it be that the person lying in the coffin was an elder of the Yin Clan?
But as the most well-informed space pirate, he didn't hear of any elder of the Yin Clan dying outside.
"Take it away."
No matter what was in the coffin, they had to bring it back first.
…
When Planck and the rest returned to the Necromancer with the coffin, he raised his hand. The Necromancer immediately shot out a psionic cannon and tore the defenseless Voyager into pieces!
Seeing that the Voyager was destroyed and no one was left alive, Planck didn't feel guilty at all. They were space pirates. They killed people like flies. Plus, he never promised to let these guys go!
When Planck and the others pushed open the gate of the lobby of the Necromancer with the coffin, a loud noise surged out. In the spacious lobby, numerous people were exchanging cups, chatting loudly, and gobbling up meat.
They came from different races, but they had the same identity. They were space pirates.
"Yo, Planck, you finally realized that you're an unlucky guy. Have you prepared a coffin for yourself?"
A guy who was as round as a meatball laughed at Planck and used the coffin to tease him.
Planck heard this and said angrily, "Damn fatty, shut up. This is a trophy!"
"This is the first time I heard of a trophy being a coffin."
A guy with black poisonous snakes crawling all over his body came closer. He looked at the coffin and said to Planck, "I think this thing is suitable to be your bed."
The sinister voice made Planck feel very uncomfortable. It was as if a snake was licking him. He glared at the other party and scolded, "Black snake, one day I will stew you into snake soup and eat you!"
What bad luck!
Planck was pissed. He was already pissed that he had stolen a coffin, and now he was being mocked by these guys. He really wanted to tear these guys' mouths apart if he could beat them.
Planck walked forward and slowly carried the coffin to the end of the hall. He stood in front of a high platform. On the high platform, there was a throne made of pure black crystal. There was no one on it, but Planck looked at the black crystal throne with great respect.
In fact, not only Planck, but everyone looked at the throne with great respect. This was because the throne belonged to their king, Queen Night Serenity!
A Tian people girl in a red dress standing next to the high platform smiled at Planck and said, "Her Majesty will be here soon."
While speaking, the Tian people girl held a golden hammer in her hand and gently knocked on the golden gong beside her. The noisy hall quieted down almost as soon as the gong sounded, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times. In fact, they had indeed done this thousands of times. Every time the gong sounded, it meant that Queen Night Serenity was about to arrive. They had to put down everything in their hands and welcome Queen Night Serenity with the most respectful attitude. If anyone dared to disrupt this ceremony, he would be expelled from the Necromancer. The next day, his body would be sold by the bounty hunters in exchange for a high reward!
