Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: Kandik and the unexpected reward

Moliri Star.

It was a crimson planet with a thin layer of clouds on its surface, and frequent thunderstorms raged, with electromagnetic fields making it impossible to use low-end technology products on the planet.

The dark red prismatic Universe spaceship, Shadow Dragon, emerged from the Dark Universe and stopped outside the crimson planet.

"Your Highness." Mullie said after investigating the crimson planet in front of him, "Kandik is not on the planet."

"Not here, huh…" Ender recalled the information and said, "The intelligence department's data shows that Kandik frequently leaves Moliri Star to Cultivate in the surrounding asteroid belt."

Ender gave an order to Little Dawn, who was controlling the Shadow Dragon, "Go to the asteroid belt."

Whoosh!

The Shadow Dragon left Moliri Star and flew towards the nearest asteroid belt, quickly arriving.

"Mullie, check if Kandik is here." Ender said.

"Yes." Mullie responded, then used his Immortal Divine Power to scan the tens of thousands of kilometers long asteroid belt.

After Mullie finished his investigation, he gently shook his head and said, "Your Highness, there's no trace of Kandik."

"No one?"

Ender frowned slightly, "The intelligence department's information is rarely wrong, and Kandik has been stationed on Moliri Star for nearly ten thousand years. Although he often goes out to Cultivate, he wouldn't go too far from here."

After thinking, Ender affirmed, "Search around Moliri Star. He must be nearby!"

The spaceship left the asteroid belt and returned to Moliri Star, then began searching for Kandik's trace with Moliri Star as the center.

...

More than an hour later.

70 million kilometers from Moliri Star, the Shadow Dragon Universe spaceship was navigating, and Mullie was using his Immortal Divine Power to scan the surroundings.

Suddenly, Mullie's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I found Kandik!"

Ender asked, "Where?!"

Mullie pointed to a small gray asteroid in the virtual simulation and said, "Inside this asteroid."

"Inside the asteroid…" Ender stared at the pointed gray asteroid and murmured to himself, "This Kandik really knows how to hide."

"Let's go to the asteroid!" Under Ender's command, the Shadow Dragon sped towards the gray asteroid.

...

The gray asteroid had an uneven surface and looked completely normal.

However, upon investigation, it would be found that there was a hidden door on the asteroid's surface, and through the passage behind the hidden door, one could directly enter the asteroid's core.

Only, the core of this asteroid had disappeared, replaced by a simple resting room, where a black-haired muscular man was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Suddenly, an electronic alarm sounded, "Alert! Alert! Unidentified flying object approaching! Unidentified flying object approaching!"

"Hmm…"

Hearing the electronic alarm, the muscular man opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in his vertical pupils, "Unidentified flying object?"

Moliri Star was located in a remote area, with no life planets within several light-years. If it weren't for the valuable mineral resources, the Koleto Family would not have developed such a remote planet.

As a remote place, there was little traffic around Moliri Star. After all, to travel quickly, one could only do so in the Dark Universe, not the Original Universe where the fastest speed was sub-light speed.

"Open the virtual simulation."

As a World Master Level expert who had fought on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, Kandik was well aware of the importance of detectors, so he had a high-quality Medium Grade World Master Level detector with a virtual simulation function.

Whoosh!

The virtual simulation appeared, showing a dark red prismatic Universe spaceship parked outside the gray asteroid. The spaceship's surface was solidified with secret patterns, especially the complex secret patterns at the tips of its two wings.

"This Universe spaceship…" Kandik narrowed his eyes, "At least E-class top-tier!"

Having fought on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, his vision was higher than many Immortal who were holed up in the Human Territory, so he naturally recognized the special nature of the spaceship outside the asteroid.

A Universe spaceship with solidified Law secret patterns, its owner was most likely an Immortal. Ordinary World Master could not afford the expensive price of solidified Law secret patterns.

Chirp!

At this moment, the dark red Universe spaceship's hatch opened, and a rather handsome black-haired youth flew out.

"Vertical pupils…" Noticing the black-haired youth's vertical pupils, Kandik mused, "Could he be an expert from a certain branch of the Lorgar Tribe?"

"Kandik, come out." A voice passed through the asteroid, directly transmitting into Kandik's mind.

Kandik did not go out immediately, but instead transmitted, "Which branch of the Lorgar Tribe are you from?"

"Lorgar Tribe?"

Ender, outside the asteroid, was slightly stunned when he heard this. This was the first time someone had asked him this question since he came to Yuan Chen Universe Country.

Then, he replied, "I am not a member of the Lorgar Tribe's branch, but I have some Lorgar Tribe bloodline."

"Has Lorgar Tribe bloodline."

Kandik heard this and felt a bit of trust in Ender. This was the sense of identity from bloodline.

Whoosh!

Kandik got up and quickly flew out along the passage, soon arriving outside the gray asteroid, and asked, "Unknown kinsman, what do you want with me?"

"Let me clarify, although I have the bloodline of the Lorgar Tribe, I am not your kinsman."

Ender continued to transmit, "I am here to arrest you by order of the Virtual Universe Company."

"You know my name, and you must know my identity. Don't say such ridiculous things."

Kandik chuckled and shook his head, "How great is the Virtual Universe Company? How could it issue an order to arrest me?"

"What's more, you are just a mere avatar now, how can you arrest me, a World Master Level eighth-tier expert?"

"So, kinsman…" Kandik's smile faded a bit, "Don't make such jokes, they're not funny at all."

"Believe it or not."

Ender shrugged slightly and asked curiously, "I really want to know, as a hero who fought for our Human Race on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, how do you feel about falling to this extent in just fifty thousand years?"

Kandik's face turned cold, and he asked vigilantly, "Who exactly are you?"

Since returning from the Extraterritorial Battlefield, Kandik had never told anyone in his Family that he had participated in the outside war. His closest relatives only thought he was traveling in the Human Territory, and knew nothing else.

But now, his secret of having been to the Extraterritorial Battlefield was known by an unknown person, which naturally made him vigilant.

"I've already told you." Ender replied. Kandik said with a hint of sarcasm, "Your Excellency is at least a World Master, how did you become someone who only dares to show up with a Puppet?"

"Since you don't want to answer, then forget it."

Ender gently shook his head and said, "Then I'll just start the arrest."

Buzz!

World fluctuations appeared, and Ender's over two-meter tall avatar disappeared into the World Ring. His massive true body, over one hundred meters tall and wearing black battle armor, appeared in the starry Universe.

"How can there be such a huge body?!"

Kandik looked up slightly, his heart startled.

However, after sensing the intensity of Ender's aura, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, "His aura is indeed not weaker than a World Master Level first or second-tier, but he is still a Domain Master ninth-tier after all."

Ender, who had revealed his true body, looked down slightly at Kandik, who was nearly three meters tall, and said in a deep voice, "Kandik, by order of the Virtual Universe Company, I am here to arrest you!"

As his voice fell, Ender's figure flashed forward, extending a hand wearing a dark, ferocious gauntlet, a hand larger than a small car, directly grasping at Kandik in front of him.

The dark, ferocious gauntlet was covered with green Gene Energy, and also imbued with the Space Origin Law profundity, giving it terrifying power.

As the cold, eerie green light flashed, wherever Ender's palm passed, the Universe space shattered and collapsed, countless spatial fragments scattered, and countless dark cracks like spider webs spread further out.

"What!"

Seeing such a terrifying strike, even Kandik, who had fought on the Extraterritorial Battlefield for hundreds of years, was startled.

In his surprise, he did not forget to resist, and quickly took out his weapon and battle shield from his World Ring, then flew backwards rapidly.

Facing the terrifying attack, Kandik had retreated at his maximum speed, but Ender's palm was faster, and the power it contained was even stronger, making it impossible for the former to escape.

The terrifying power slammed into him, and with no way to avoid it, Kandik fully activated the secret patterns on his battle shield, preparing to take the blow head-on.

Boom!

The giant palm struck, heavily hitting the blue-glowing battle shield. Terrifying power passed through the battle shield to Kandik's body, and the powerful impact made him spit out blood, his body flying backward like a cannonball.

"How can his attack power be so terrifying, a Domain Master ninth-tier!"

Kandik, who was sent flying, was greatly shocked in his heart, "This terrifying strength is already not weaker than a World Master General!"

Having fought on the Extraterritorial Battlefield for hundreds of years, although Kandik had not reached the World Master Level ninth-tier, his strength had reached the Elite World Master Fighter standard, and he had also witnessed the strength of a World Master General.

But now, the World Master he faced had the strength of a World Master General, how could this not shock him?

"Not bad."

Seeing that Kandik took his blow without being severely injured, Ender praised him through a mental message, "To be able to take that blow from me, your strength is at a relatively high level among World Master."

That strike, with his 512 times Life Gene Energy level, supplemented by three times body amplitude, unleashed a basic strength equivalent to 1536 times the power of a Pinnacle World Master.

And the basic strength of a World Master Level eighth-tier was only equivalent to 1280 times the power of a Pinnacle World Master, so the basic strength he had just unleashed had already exceeded Kandik's.

With his Law comprehension at the Tongtian Bridge Twelfth layer, it was very normal to injure Kandik, a World Master Level eighth-tier Elite World Master Fighter, without using attack Secret Techniques.

Injured by a single blow, Kandik knew that Ender's strength was stronger than his, and the opponent had at least a top-tier E-class spaceship, so he had no intention of escaping, knowing that he couldn't escape even if he tried.

So, he transmitted, "Who exactly are you? I don't remember offending such a Genius expert!"

"I've already told you, I'm here to arrest you by order of the Virtual Universe Company!"

Ender replied through a mental message, while his figure moved forward again, his hand, still larger than a small car, continued to strike Kandik.

Amidst the eerie green glow, wherever the dark, ferocious gauntlet passed, the Universe space shattered and collapsed, and countless dark, tiny cracks spread out like spider webs.

Boom!

The palm, containing terrifying power, struck the battle shield glowing with blue secret patterns. Invisible shockwaves vibrated and spread, making the surrounding planets and asteroids tremble. Some unstable celestial bodies collapsed or turned into countless dust.

In the shattered space, Kandik spat blood and flew backward. This time, he clearly felt that the opponent's attack power was much weaker, as if they were afraid of killing him with too much power.

Hearing Ender state his purpose, Kandik had a guess in his heart, so he asked, "Are you perhaps a Your Highness cultivated by the Virtual Universe Company?"

"Yes."

Ender responded, accelerating to follow Kandik, who was flying forward, and reached out his large hand to grab him.

Seeing Ender admit it, Kandik paused for a moment in recollection, then asked in an incredulous tone, "Could it be you, Ender Royce?!"

Since returning to the Human Territory, he had watched every Pinnacle Genius Battle, and the one who impressed him and matched Ender's appearance was only the runner-up of the previous Pinnacle Genius Battle.

However, he didn't believe that this massive, Prodigy monster in front of him was Ender, the runner-up of the previous Pinnacle Genius Battle.

After all, he had only been in the Virtual Universe Company for just over five hundred years. Even if his talent was terrifyingly strong, his strength couldn't possibly have reached such a terrifying level.

"You guessed right."

Ender changed his grab to a slap, swatting the blood-spitting Kandik like a fly, directly towards a dark red asteroid.

Boom!

The dark red asteroid trembled, and the huge impact force lifted countless dust and debris. After receiving the impact from Kandik, the asteroid rapidly flew backward.

"How is that possible!"

Kandik, who was sent flying and embedded in the dark red asteroid, was utterly shocked, "How could he have such powerful strength after Cultivating for such a short time?!"

He had seen Genius cultivated by the five Leviathans of Humanity before, but he had never heard of or seen anyone who, after Cultivating for just over five hundred years, grew from Stellar Rank to crushing Elite World Master Fighter.

Boom!

Ender's figure flashed, and his palm instantly enlarged tenfold, covering half of the dark red asteroid and blocking Kandik's escape route.

To avoid his blockade, the opponent could only pass through the dark red asteroid, otherwise, he would be caught by him.

Clang!

The battle knife collided with metal. Kandik stared in astonishment at the dark red metal in front of him, "This is?!"

He had intended to pass through this asteroid to buy some time, but he didn't expect that only the outer few meters of the asteroid were dust and various debris, and the inside was incredibly hard metal.

"It's F-class metal!"

Top-tier fifth-grade weapons were all made of F-class metal, and yet the battle knife he was using, made of F-class metal, left no mark on the metal in front of him. Clearly, its hardness had reached F-class level.

"F-class metal."

Ender also noticed the issue with the dark red asteroid, a smile appearing on his face, "It's an unexpected gain, and it even helped me out."

Saying that, Ender closed his palm, about to grab Kandik in his hand.

At the same time, a dark chain also appeared at this moment, and under the propulsion of his Spiritual Force, it shot forward…
