My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

This place is different from the place Ji Yuan had imagined, filled with various scientific instruments; it is a large and empty room.

Nguyen Mai then walked in. "This is where the biological culture is stored. Perfect timing, the experimental subjects I cultured before I left should be mature by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark red light emanated from the room. Ji Yuan and Jing Liu looked up and saw an enormous insect appearing in the sky. It was over a hundred meters tall, with its mouthparts and carapace clearly visible, making it look terrifying.

Ruan Mei looked at the insects in the sky: "I have been trying to cultivate insects that are strong enough to bear the power left over from the Star God of Reproduction. Unfortunately, my experiment has not succeeded so far. What is in front of you is the latest hibernating insect I have cultivated."

Since the Star God Taizyuros, who bred during the global locust plague, was killed by the Protector Star God with a single blow, many of the hibernating insects of the same race as the Star God have escaped and scattered throughout the galaxy. Nguyen Mai has searched extensively for those insects, extracting the power of reproduction from them.

Finally, through other means, enough reproductive opportunities are introduced into one of the insects she has cultivated, thus achieving the level of a messenger.

The insect also saw Ji Yuan and the others, and immediately opened its mouthparts, making hunting noises. It charged towards Ji Yuan with its mouthparts extended.

It seems to have no sense of friend or foe; even when facing Nguyen Mai, the creature that created it, it will still launch an attack.

"This power... it really has reached the level of a Commander." Jing Liu's face lit up with excitement upon seeing this. She drew her weapon and attacked the insects.

Deep down, she is also extremely warlike.

The insect spewed out black breath, and Jingliu unleashed sword energy. However, this sword energy was directly swallowed by the darkness when it faced the insect's attack.

The attack landed, but Mirror Flow easily dodged it.

"Very strong power."

She nodded in approval.

At the same time, his hands moved quickly, launching rapid slashes at the insect.

At this moment, the insect split, immediately creating more than a dozen small clones, each about the height of a person, which flew towards Jingliu.

Jingliu swung his sword again, and the icy sword energy transformed into streaks of light, easily slicing down the insects one by one.

But at that moment, she suddenly realized that the giant insect with the power to command had silently appeared behind her.

Its strength is immense, and it also possesses such bizarre mobility; it is simply too powerful.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Ji Yuan shouted loudly.

At the same time, the Sky Sword appeared in his hand, and he planned to rush towards the insects to save his teacher.

Just as the sword energy in her hand condensed, Ruan Mei, standing to the side, shook her head with a look of regret.

At this moment, the giant insect completely stopped moving. Then, it exploded instantly in front of Jingliu, turning into wisps of ashes.

"Sigh. This insect is still too weak..."

Nguyen Mai shook her head, looking disappointed.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan assumed she was upset because of the experiment's failure, so he quickly comforted her: "Teacher, what's wrong? The failure of the experiment shouldn't be something for you to regret."

"No, what I'm thinking is that this bug can't last a little longer, so that it can kill that woman, Jingliu, as an experimental waste."

Ji Yuan: "..."

Facing the silent Ji Yuan, Ruan Mei picked up her notebook and began recording the experimental data.

After recording the information, she said to Ji Yuan, "The test subject survived for a total of twenty-one seconds. Ultimately, the test subject could not withstand such powerful force. I still cannot, like the Star God, infuse power into the test subject and keep it alive."

Aha can pour all the power of pleasure into a single insect, but Nguyen Mai can't even do that at the level of a messenger.

"These are my current experimental results. Ji Yuan, you and I will study these together these next few days, about the infusion of power and the research on the power of immortality."

Jing Liu walked over at this moment, listened to Ruan Mei's words, and instead of objecting, asked Ruan Mei, "That crazy female scientist, do you have any other insects?"

"That's all for now. What, do you still want to court death?"

"No, of course I want to train his combat skills. These insects are quite useful. If we didn't have them..."

Jingliu walked over and patted Jiyuan on the shoulder.

"Put in your best effort these next two days and create a strong sparring partner for yourself."

Ji Yuan: "..."

Does this mean I have to make things harder for myself?

They dug their own grave.

……

On the other side, Belloberg.

Fireworks quietly slipped out from underground and into the city again.

"Sending Tingyun and the others underground to make contact with those underground organizations is the first step of the plan. Next, that will be the second step of the plan."

She smiled as she looked at the girl not far away who had long gray-white hair, wore a white uniform and tall boots, and carried a long gun with a bayonet on her back.

Bronya.

Now the adopted daughter of the Great Guardian Cocolia.

Fireworks' new goal.

"Hmph, when Ji Yuan sets off, I'll bring Bronya as a little gift to see him."

In her mind, she thought of some DVD plots from her hometown, Edo.

"Miss Bronya, you wouldn't want your mother to be forced to do something she doesn't like because of debt, would you?"

Thinking of this, Hanabi smiled mischievously.

It was so joyful, so incredibly joyful.

She then used her powers to transform herself into a perfectly ordinary little girl named Belloberg.

She skipped happily toward Bronya.

Chapter 152 Bronya's Fooling by Fireworks [First Update]

"Sister Bronya, my mother is sick. Could you help me move her to the doctor's house?"

The child, played by Hanabi, walked up to Bronya and called out in an anxious tone.

Upon hearing this, Bronya said to the Silvermane Iron Guards beside her without hesitation, "You guys continue patrolling, I'm going to her house to check on her."

"Yes."

Silvermane Iron Guard knew Bronya's strength, so he naturally let her follow the little girl that Hanabi was disguised as.

"Thank you, thank you so much." The child that Hanabi was pretending to be kept thanking Bronya.

Bronya shook her head at Hanabi and said, "There's no need for thanks. Let's hurry to your house."

"Mmm." Hanabi nodded quickly, then led Bronya toward the alley of Belloborg.

Bronya wandered back and forth along the narrow streets of the city's working-class residential area for a while before realizing something was wrong.

The little child in front of her was trying to take her to a secluded place. She stopped and asked Hanabi, "What...what do you want to do?"

Bronya gripped her spear, preparing to use her bayonet to control the fireworks.

However, she had greatly underestimated Hanabi's abilities. The next second, she found Hanabi already behind her. Reaching out, Hanabi's small hand patted Bronya's neck.

"You're really quite clever, it's a pity you discovered this a little too late."

Hanabi said with a smile.

After sensing Hanabi's attack, Bronya felt dizzy. She tried to stay upright, but her body's reactions were beyond her control; her vision gradually darkened until she finally passed out.

Seeing Bronya fall, Hanabi reached out and caught her. With Bronya on her shoulder, she walked towards the alleyway of Belloborg.

Hanabi was fortunate to be the Masked Fool, whose strength was disproportionate to her size; otherwise, carrying Bronya would have been an extremely difficult task.

Arriving at the deepest alley, Hanabi knocked on the door.

"Old Sambo, Old Sambo, are you there?"

“Of course I’m here, Miss Hanabi.” The door opened, and Sambo appeared before Hanabi, smiling as he spoke to her. Seeing Bronya perched on Hanabi’s shoulder, Sambo’s face showed surprise.

"I didn't expect you to actually kidnap Bronya," Sambo said in surprise.

Hanabi nodded: "Yes, that guy Ji Yuan is coming to collect the debts of this planet. As someone who has become good friends with him and only sees him every day, it is only natural for me to help him collect the debts."

"Collecting debts? What do you mean?"

Sambo's intelligence is still somewhat inferior to Hanabi's.

Hanabi said smugly, "Hmph, news came from the Interstellar Peace Company. When the people in the company evacuated from Yalilo, they borrowed a large sum of money from the city builders. And these bonds were later bought by Ji Yuan's biological parents. More than seven hundred years later, this debt has piled up to an astronomical figure."

"I can't believe it."

Sambo was also somewhat surprised.

“Yes, so I plan to send Bronya over there so that Ji Yuan can also learn about this planet.” Hanabi said as she carried Bronya into the room.

"I'll take her away from Yalilo first. Old Sambo, is the spaceship ready?"

"Okay, if it's what you want, I'll definitely prepare it."

Sambo shrugged and agreed.

Arillow was sealed off by the cold wave, but this was practically useless for Hanabi and Sambo. Sambo arranged for a small spaceship so Bronya and Hanabi could leave. Before leaving the spaceship, Hanabi didn't forget to remind Sambo:

"Old Sambo, remember to take good care of Tingyun and Sanyueqi. Those people are involved with far too many forces."

The Star Train, the Genius Club, and the Immortal Boat Alliance—none of these forces should be underestimated. In fact, Huohua and Sangbo were unaware that Xing's presence also involved the Star Core Hunters.

"Don't worry, I, Old Sambo, want to live a few more years. I will definitely take good care of them."

Sambo patted his chest and quickly assured Hanabi.

"Hmph, I'm really looking forward to the scene of you getting revenge after you accidentally kill these people."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's too harsh. I wouldn't dare."

Sambo quickly sent the fireworks away with an expression as if he were sending away a plague god.

"Tch, no guts at all." Hanabi curled her lip, then carried Bronya onto the spaceship.

The spaceship started up and quickly broke through the cold wave to reach outer space.
