Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

In the final moments before his death, the other person made a resolute choice!

However, Jiang Gu was initially annoyed, but he soon discovered that in the wisp of black smoke left after Yunas's self-destruction...

A round little ball is slowly spinning.

Jiang Gu's dejected expression vanished instantly!

He opened his eyes to the data.

【Name: Shadow Ball】

[Level: lv.0]

[Attribute: Shadow]

[Mastering the moves: —]

【个体值——HP：49攻击：49防御：49特攻：49特防：49速度：49】

"So it really is essence?"

"And their individual stats are terrifyingly high!"

"I reckon if he hadn't used that energy to modify the Byron, that would have been Jonas's true talent!"

"This aptitude has already reached the level of a second-level divine beast!"

Jiang Gu was quite alarmed as he looked at the information in the Eye of Data.

If only this Shadow King wasn't so selfless.

Yunas's level might break through another realm; if he reaches the divine beast level...

Jiang Gu felt that he might not be doing well, and there was a possibility that he would die here when facing Jonas!

But now the ending is happy.

Jiang Gu actually understood the more pragmatic approach.

Getting the essence is a good thing!

He admired Yunas's dedication to his Dark race.

However, it is undeniable that the other party's sacrifice has caused considerable hidden dangers to itself, greatly reducing its individual value and potential for future mega-evolution.

The Shadow Spheres hatched from the essence are not only taller individually.

Moreover, their loyalty is guaranteed if they are trained from a young age!

Jiang Gu was satisfied and returned the essence to the system space.

He then stepped forward and helped the two mantises, whose faces looked somewhat tired, and praised them softly.

"We really owe you all this time."

3.1 "Well done!"

Incaros and Sagros were not hit by Yunas's ultimate move, but repeatedly moving through the capsule and then unleashing his own powerful attacks still exhausted them.

They were all somewhat listless at this point.

As for Xiao Lan, Jiang Gu fed Incaros and Sagros a few energy cubes before approaching her.

"Alright, don't worry about it too much."

"The strength of that Pokémon was such that even I could only defeat it by using a trick..."

Jiang Gu then explained the Instant Kill ability.

"So, it's not that you can't help me..."

"The opponent is too strong."

"really?"

Xiao Lan's expression held a hint of hope.

Jiang Gu patted her head. "Of course it's true."

After some comforting words, the girl finally regained her usual lively and cheerful demeanor.

Jiang Gu chatted while glancing around.

Despite being completely transformed by Yunas's power, he still discovered something after careful observation.

This place looks familiar...

Chapter 103: The Mysterious Space of the Byron

Jiang Gu found himself in an area emitting a strange magnetic field.

At the heart of this place is a deep blue engine containing an astonishing amount of energy!

Even now, with the Byron nearing the point of being scrapped, Jiang Gu could still sense its immense power!

Yunas's modifications just now transformed most of the spaceship into creations of shadow energy...

The only exception was this engine, which contained extremely strong power and remained unaffected.

It's not fair to say there was no impact...

The pure energy and shadow energy in the engine were frantically canceling each other out, making a crackling sound!

The azure liquid energy inside was constantly churning, creating quite a stir.

But in the end, it was not assimilated.

Outside the engine is a strange metal engraved with complex and intricate Herka script and totems.

At this moment, it was covered with a huge amount of shadow energy, turning it a purplish-black color.

These steel structures were originally intended to connect the power from the engines to various parts of the Byron.

However, when Jiang Gu and Xiao Lan arrived, many of the energy transmission pipes were already damaged.

Others were also caught up in the power of shadow and are probably unable to play a role.

Although the Byron was occupied by Jonas...

But just now, Jiang Gu forced the Shadow King to destroy himself, which can be considered as adding the last handful of soil to the grave of the Byron!

Soon, all the mechanical parts of the entire spaceship will be transformed into shadow power!

The Byron is truly on the verge of destruction!

Jiang Gu sighed slightly, and continued to observe.

Beyond the engine and metal structure, a lens was discovered that allows one to see the vast starry sky.

In the distance, we could already see our original destination, 04 Cloud Star. "This place?"

The more Jiang Gu looked at it, the more it resembled a scene from deep within his memory. "Isn't this the so-called mysterious space on the Byron?"

Even though this place is basically covered by shadow energy, Jiang Gu can still recognize it!

"so……"

"After Jonas destroyed the elf pod, we actually fell into a mysterious space!"

"This... another stroke of luck?"

Jiang Gu felt a little strange.

He had previously inquired about the location of the mysterious space from the Suttons.

The two Shadow-type Pokémon were completely unaware of the situation!

Before arriving at the Byron's spirit cabin, Jiang Gu also observed the surrounding area but found no path leading to the mysterious space...

Therefore, he was mentally prepared that he could not explore this map.

Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise!

In a fierce battle with Yunas, the terrifying Shadow King shattered the Elf pod!

Jiang Gu fell right here!

You could say it was a blessing in disguise!

"This expedition went much more smoothly than I expected!"

Jiang Gu was quite excited.

But Xiao Lan was stunned.

I just encountered such a terrifying opponent, and I barely managed to win. Although I escaped danger, I even obtained the essence of the spirit...

But it wasn't exactly smooth sailing!

That was a close call!

If Xiao Jiang hadn't pulled out a shield device like Doraemon, they would probably both be dead by now!

Xiao Lan knew about the existence of the essence, after all, Jiang Gu hadn't kept it a secret from her when he brought the mushroom monster's essence back to the base for incubation.

Seeing his companion's confusion, Jiang Gu responded with a smile.
