Governor Tiberius looked hesitantly at the furious James, then at the domineering Irenecia, and felt a sense of defeat burning within him.

The ruler is young and the country is in doubt.

This assessment has been circulating among the upper echelons of the city of Cronus since he took office as governor.

As the heir to the glorious Cronus family, Tiberius hated and feared nothing more than being looked down upon by the nobles.

He thought that by taking advantage of the current situation, he could wipe out a large family in one fell swoop and establish his own prestige, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

Why did that idiot James have to mess with those mad dogs in the courtroom?!

How could a planetary governor with an unstable foundation offend the Inquisition like this? What if some judge comes up with some excuse to deal with him in the future?

Thinking of this, he felt even more resentful towards James, who had strongly advised him to punish the Warren family.

"Take Lilith and James away! I'll deal with them myself after tonight!" Tiberius roared, looking at Irenecia with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Eileencia wasn't looking at him at all; instead, she turned her questioning gaze toward Qin Mo.

Qin Mo nodded subtly, but when no one was looking, he suddenly transmitted his voice to James in front of him:

"Don't think this is all over. I know you're the mastermind behind those cunning aliens."

James' pupils suddenly contracted, but he quickly regained his composure and remained calm on the surface.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Qin Mo, feigning profundity, took out the communicator engraved with a strange flying dragon pattern from his pocket. He deliberately shook it, watching James's pupils constrict again.

"Your little fighter is useless. With just a little manipulation, he spilled everything he should and shouldn't have said."

Qin Mo chuckled again in a low voice, "Once you're imprisoned by the governor, we'll present this evidence to him and expose your crimes to the public."

James's expression was uncertain. He couldn't be sure if Qin Mo was telling the truth. The will of the fighters was extremely prominent in the entire sect, so they shouldn't betray him. But the communicator in Qin Mo's hand was something that only high-ranking members of the cunning sect would possess...

Looking at the other party's performance, Qin Mo knew in his heart that this guy was definitely related to those cunning people, but this guy was really good at enduring, and could even pretend that nothing had happened.

After a moment's thought, he realized that tonight was the best opportunity; otherwise, given the Osiris family's top position in the world, they would never give him another chance to test him.

Qin Mo's eyes darted around, and as he brushed past James, he deliberately said, "Oh, and your clansmen too. After you're locked up, we'll arrest them all and give them a good dressing down. I bet we can find evidence."

James shuddered. He himself was unlikely to be caught red-handed, but if his people were to face the executioner's blade, things might be different.

As the planetary defense forces approached him under the governor's orders, a ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Osiris patriarch.

"Kid, you're asking for it."

Qin Mo vaguely heard this sentence, his temples throbbed, and his "spider-sense" suddenly went berserk. He turned his head and was shocked to see the heads of the planetary defense force soldiers falling to the ground one after another.

"Um?!"

Qin Mo was startled. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bishop of the Gene Stealer sect suddenly break free of her psionic shackles. Her psionic lightning swept around, instantly knocking over several nobles.

The banquet hall descended into utter chaos.

"guard!"

Governor Tiberius's face darkened. He roared and drew his decorative laser pistol from his waist, firing a series of shots at the cunning bishop.

But all the bullets were blocked by the tall Osiris family member who was originally holding the cunning bishop.

This Osiris was a full two meters tall. With a roar, his body suddenly grew even larger, like a humanoid monster, and he was about to pounce on the governor.

"The Dominator of Aberration?"

Eileencia instantly appeared in front of her opponent, and a beam of psionic fire erupted from her palm, knocking her opponent back.

This monster is a higher-level variant of the Chicken Cult, larger, stronger, and dumber than the ordinary variants.

Eileencia used fire to force it back into the planetary defense forces, and the monster immediately forgot its original goal and instead fought with the warriors.

Her real enemy is the gene-stealing bishop who is already suspended in mid-air, freely unleashing psionic lightning.

Meanwhile, Qin Mo was also confronting James.

Qin Mo looked at the third hand that emerged from the other person's wide black robe, which held a bone longsword, and immediately recalled the other person's identity.

Gene thieves are leading the way.

The true bigwigs of the Chicken Cult, among the Twisted Spiral Cult—an outlier of gene-stealing cults—are the leaders and the cult's rulers.

"I really don't understand why you'd rather be an insect than a human being."

Qin Mo narrowed his eyes, deliberately provoking his opponent in an attempt to find some opening.

But James wasn't angry at all. He grinned and raised his third hand high, as if showing off his strength to Qin Mo.

"You wouldn't understand, mortal."

James laughed wildly, "I'm evolving into a god."

Qin Mo shook his head: "God is not a good word in this universe."

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out, his power sword humming, the blade flashing like lightning, and instantly struck the opponent's forehead.

But then there was a "clang" sound, as if the blade had been bounced off by something.

Qin Mo's "Spider Sense" activated again, and he quickly lay back, barely avoiding a slash from the shadows.

"What is that?!"

Qin Mo's eyes widened, only to see a faint shadow, like flowing water, flash past James.

"That is..."

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Qin Mo's heart.

"Go and kill that stupid governor."

James spoke coldly to the air beside him, then looked at Qin Mo again and said loudly:

"I will finally save you mediocre people! The uprising has begun!"

Qin Mo's eyes widened in shock; the other party actually intended to assassinate the governor!

He hurriedly shouted to Irenecia, who was still locked in combat with the gene-stealing bishop, on the other side:

"Go protect the governor..."

But before he could finish the sentence, James had already pounced on him.

As the master of cunning, James's combat skills are also top-notch in the cunning sect. He thrust his bone blade, imbued with psionic pressure, toward Qin Mo's throat, and Qin Mo was only able to barely dodge it thanks to his "spider sense".

But in the next instant, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the governor beside him had been slammed aside by an invisible, enormous force, which snapped a pillar in two.

Governor Tiberius coughed up blood and immediately fainted.
