Exterior region of Negative God Star.

Groups of Spirit Touchers clustered together to surround a special conical mechanical apparatus, with a red gem embedded at its head, and its circular end opened facing the Negative God Star.

The Spirit Touchers gradually moved these devices closer to the surface of the Negative God Star. When they reached a certain distance, the Spirit Touchers activated the devices and quickly scattered.

The activated device then fell to the surface of the Negative God Star, and the dense circuits on the device’s surface lit up.

Scenes like this repeatedly played out across various areas of the Negative God Star, as countless devices were deployed.

Simultaneously, numerous wandering Combined Beast Monsters and deformed creatures on the surface of Negative God Star approached those devices. The elite combat units of the Eternal Sleep Clan decisively engaged them, carrying out brutal interceptions.

Not allowing those monsters to get close to those devices.

In the central control platform of the Crystal Fortress.

Mankadi, holding a Mechanical Scepter, struck the ground, and a gigantic star map centered on the Negative God Star emerged.

The entire Negative God Star appeared networked, with densely packed points lighting up, each lit point representing an active device.

Alles, looking at the star map with a furrowed brow, said.

"Progress is too slow, deployment progress is only at 2%!"

"There’s nothing we can do; the Negative God Star is different from Ceres, its size is a factor. This is an unprecedented colossal project. And most importantly, there are too many monsters on the surface of the Negative God Star. Although those monsters lack consciousness, they occasionally destroy devices and attack our people. Just dealing with those monsters exhausts us."

Mankadi explained.

"Then increase the troops and speed it up!"

Patrick replied in a deep voice.

"Okay!"

Mankadi didn’t waste any words.

In the vast starry sky, the Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer·Catastrophe Shadow ended its first round of superluminal flight, its massive body emerging from subspace, traveling at high speed.

Along the way, some scattered meteors collided with the shield of the Catastrophe Shadow, breaking into pieces.

Inside the Catastrophe Shadow.

Kendi and Sun Duoxiang were heading towards the dining hall with their crew.

Yawning, Sun Duoxiang chatted with Kendi.

"You know, this ship is great in every aspect, except there are too many rules. There’s no private dining area or any entertainment facilities; even dining has to be in the public canteen."

"As long as there’s food, it’s fine. After all, this is a battleship, not an entertainment ship."

Kendi responded indifferently.

"Sigh~ That’s not the worst part. The weirdest thing is that the dining hall is built like a prison cafeteria. Someone who doesn’t know might think we’re eating in a prison. However, at least the food is decent."

Sun Duoxiang lowered his voice and complained to Kendi.

Kendi showed a slight look of awkwardness, unsure of what to say.

Soon, Sun Duoxiang and Kendi arrived at the largest public dining hall, reserved for people with certain status.

The entire dining hall was square, very spacious, but devoid of any decorations.

It only contained simple alloy tables and bench-style chairs, densely packed, making it look much like a prison cafeteria at first glance.

At this moment, the vast cafeteria was full of fierce-looking individuals, each with sharp and violent glances.

However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that the seating arrangement in the dining hall was meticulous.

Generally, a group would gather around one person, minding their own business without any conflict between groups.

The number of people gathered also indirectly indicated their strength.

The most notable groups were around Coret and Kathuler, each surrounded by numerous subordinates, although Coret had a slight edge in numbers.

Apart from these two, there were three other groups, significantly smaller in number.

At this time, Sun Duoxiang and Kendi entered through door number 2.

"I wonder what’s good to eat today. If the food’s decent, we could have a few drinks since there’s nothing else to do."

Sun Duoxiang chatted with good spirits to Kendi.

"Sure."

Kendi replied calmly.

"It’s a pity, though. I don’t know what the boss has been busy with recently, but he’s not dining with us."

Sun Duoxiang sighed.

"The boss has his own matters to tend to."

"True, oh well, drinking on our own is fine too."

Sun Duoxiang nodded.

As they walked in, they were suddenly stopped.

Sun Duoxiang and Kendi paused, looking up to see a group of a dozen burly men, clad in fourth-generation Mechanical Armor, with rough faces, approaching, causing the two groups to run into each other directly.

Due to the high density of tables and chairs in the dining hall, the walkways, though wide, were still limited.

If neither side gave way, naturally, neither could pass through.

Leading the group was a man with an evil ghost tattoo on his left cheek and a mechanical arm embedded in his right hand. He glared fiercely at Sun Duoxiang and Kendi.

"Move aside!"

"Why should I!"

Sun Duoxiang immediately felt displeased, a sudden surge of fury rising.

The subordinates behind the man stared aggressively and dangerously at Sun Duoxiang and Kendi, looking ready to handle them at any moment over a disagreement.

However, Kendi and Sun Duoxiang’s people were not to be trifled with, retaliating with equally fierce gazes. It should be noted, all of Kendi’s subordinates came from the Endless Prison, and all of Sun Duoxiang’s were desperados.
