Chapter 576: Chapter 453: Entering Aethelgard Base in Disguise, Part 2

"An octopus?"

Flora Bloom’s expression changed. "You mean the Great Crow clan?"

Lex Cross nodded. "It must be. I didn’t expect the Extraterrestrial Battlefield’s influence to have reached this far."

"But didn’t we already deal with one in the waters off the coast of Morhaven?"

"Lex, what’s the deal with the Great Crow clan?"

"It’s a long story. Flora, the one we dealt with back then was before Earth started its transformation. This new one most likely got in after Earth’s protective layer opened up. It seems Earth won’t be at peace, even without people from the Ancient Universe Star Nation showing up."

"No matter what, we can’t let them blow up Azuregard City!"

"Earth is originally part of the Cloud Universe Sector and a member of the Ancient Universe Star Nation. In the struggle between the Ancient Universe Star Nation and the races of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, everyone has a responsibility.

The Acker family isn’t wrong for doing this. The Great Crow clan’s reproductive ability is too strong; they can’t be allowed to remain! It would be for the best if it could be blown to bits!"

Flora Bloom couldn’t quite grasp the intensity of the conflict between the Ancient Universe Star Nation and the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, but since even Lex Cross agreed with blowing it up, it seemed this wasn’t something she could interfere with casually.

"Milton Adler, you and the others will come with me to Morhaven to properly recuperate. Just look how skinny you’ve gotten! You’re in even worse shape than Old Lynch was back then!"

"Golden Crow, let’s go. Back to Morhaven."

Watching Flora Bloom and the others leave, Brick Acker suddenly chuckled. ’It’s good to have repaid that favor to the Sterling family.’ "Zachary Acker, go find someone in the base who’s in the know. Ask them about this Flora Bloom’s background."

In a subterranean laboratory in Mirefall, there was an elderly woman. The wrinkles on her face were deep enough to trap a fly, yet the visible skin on the rest of her body was incredibly tender.

Beside her, a woman in a white lab coat and full protective gear, showing only a pair of goggled eyes, was drawing her blood.

The laboratory door opened, and a man in a sharp suit walked in, looking somewhat out of place.

"Doctor!"

An old man, currently conducting an experiment, looked up as the man entered and asked in a stern voice, "Have you gotten your hands on the potion developed in Morhaven yet?"

The few researchers in the lab, engrossed in their work, didn’t dare say a word and just continued with their experiments. The man who had entered shook his head. "Not yet."

"What use are you all? Morhaven has their Awakening Potion, and it’s monopolizing my path of experimentation. As for an enemy, if you can’t surpass them, destroy them!

You, take these two nearly-dead test subjects to Morhaven. I refuse to believe they’ll just watch them die!"

「The Adler Family Estate, Argent Base」

"Third Elder Rook, this is already the best residential area in our base."

"Just make sure all my Rook family members are properly settled. Most importantly, no one is to disturb us where we are staying. Understand?"

"Yes!"

For the first time, Titan Adler was bowing and scraping like a grandchild before a man not much older than himself. The humiliation was immense.

After Titan Adler departed with a bow, a figure descended from the second floor.

"First Elder, did you bring the Nourishing God Jade?" Seeing Aaron Rook come downstairs, Rong San immediately shot up from the sofa, his posture extremely respectful—just like Titan Adler had been with him moments ago.

"I brought it. But we still haven’t found the separated fragment of Nina’s Divine Sense."

"I didn’t expect this place, Argent, to be so large. The Nourishing God Jade can only sense things within a radius of about one hundred kilometers. If it encounters evolved beasts or plants that can block perception, its effective range becomes even smaller.

Rong San, it seems there are many traces of the Deadlands in Argent Base. You all must not be careless. The forces of the Deadlands may have infiltrated this place even earlier than we did."

"So, tomorrow, take some men and try to contact Graham Cross. See if he’s found anything. I’ll take the Nourishing God Jade and travel around Earth to search for Nina’s Divine Sense. As long as we find Nina, we might get some news about the Divine-level internal space.

Their main purpose in coming this time is still the Divine-level Space Fragment. As for the Space Fragments from this planet’s annihilation, we can only obtain them if fate allows; we can’t force it.

Aaron Rook’s hair and beard were white, but his figure was nimble and his complexion ruddy. In the next second, the Nourishing God Jade in his hand vanished, reappearing in his internal space.

Watching this, Rong San, who was standing to the side, was filled with envy.

"First Elder, after you reached the Cosmic Level, what tier is the space you created?"

The tier of a Cosmic Level expert’s internal space is usually their own secret. If someone with malicious intent found out, it would likely invite disaster.

Aaron Rook snorted coldly. "Rong San, mind your own business. With my current strength, aside from that Lex Cross, I have no equal! This is enough to guarantee the Rook family’s future status in the Ancient Universe Star Nation!
