My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 592 Deep Space Fleet

Benboerba manifested as a giant black fish, speeding through the iridescent light, chasing a colorful sphere of light.

Zhou Nan sat cross-legged on the flat, broad fish head, his eyes closed, his sword finger extended forward, and the colorful ball of light in front of him was what he was controlling.

The path to deep space lies between reality and illusion; if Zhou Nan makes even one wrong thought, he will be on the wrong path.

On Benboerba's back, the Wish God King held a red umbrella, his long hair flowing back and his clothes fluttering, as if standing against the wind.

As for Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong, they sat obediently on the fish's back. These two were shrewd; they knew that the Wish Goddess was an important figure, so they were very careful in her presence and dared not speak casually for fear of disturbing her.

In the silence of the crowd, time slowly passed. About a month later, on this day, Zhou Nan opened his eyes and said, "We've arrived at the first layer of deep space!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Benboerba suddenly rushed into a black vortex of light and mist. Then all the colorful light disappeared, and what appeared in everyone's sight was a deep starry sky.

Darkness forms the curtain, and the stars are endless!

Zhou Nan felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if he had come into this world like a fish entering water.

He knew that this comfortable feeling of being in harmony with himself came from his black card database. Perhaps it could be said that there was some kind of peculiar law in the deep space world, and this law gave birth to the database. Now that Zhou Nan was here, he seemed to be able to receive information from this world at any time, and he had a sense of being omniscient.

For example, he immediately knew where he was: the first layer of deep space, the third universe, the Thorne star system, a corner of the Qiluo star field.

This information appeared out of thin air in his mind, as if it were something from the deep space universe.

"Moo!"

At this moment, the level 700 Benboerba roared, clearly indicating that he had arrived at his destination and could rest.

Seven-colored light appeared beneath the feet of the Wish Goddess. Holding a red umbrella, she left Benboerba's back with seemingly unchanging steps, and walked up to Zhou Nan, saying, "The time was much shorter than I expected. I said before that you brought me to deep space, and I would grant you a wish. Tell me, what wish do you want to be granted?"

Zhou Nan had previously been instructed by the Dragon Slayer Emperor Li Hanqiang that one should not make wishes lightly, as it would incur some mysterious karma. At this moment, he cupped his hands to the Wish-Making God King and said, "It is my honor to guide you, senior. I have no desires or wants."

The face of the Wish Goddess was unclear; she remained calm and composed, saying, "If you do not wish to be entangled in karma, so be it. I will give you something, and that will settle our karmic debts."

After speaking, the mysterious expert flicked his sleeve, and a colorful ball of light the size of an abacus flew to Zhou Nan's front.

"Crush this item in a moment of crisis, and it will ensure your safety. Take care!"

The voice of the Wish God King was very calm. Zhou Nan accepted the bead, bowed and thanked him. When he looked up, the Wish God King had already disappeared.

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong then approached. They looked around, and Xiao Taichong whispered to Zhou Nan, "They're gone?"

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "She is no longer in this realm!"

This information appeared out of thin air in his mind, or rather, it was information automatically received from his black card database. In any case, the Wish God King was no longer in the first layer of deep space, but had gone directly to the second layer of void.

He didn't know how the God of Wishes managed to do it, but this information was probably true.

"They're finally gone!"

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became unruly. The former took off his boots and rubbed his feet, while the latter stretched and picked his nose.

"I haven't spoken for over a month, it's been so boring!"

"Who says otherwise? Fortunately, that person has finally left, and we can finally relax a bit."

The two men, beaming with joy, suddenly produced a small table and stools out of thin air, along with pots, pans, various ingredients, drinks, sauces, and more. Zhou Nan stared in disbelief as the two men devoured a hot pot. They quickly and cheerfully began simmering meat slices, even calling out to Zhou Nan, "We've arrived in the deep space world! Congratulations! Come on, let's eat hot pot together!"

"You two have quite the refined taste, but I'll pass. Besides..."

Zhou Nan's expression suddenly turned serious as he looked towards a certain point in deep space.

Xiao Taiyong asked, "Besides what?"

Xiao Taichong said, "Don't be shy, come on, try our cooking."

Zhou Nan said, "The Z65J201M2022 probe has detected us, and a fleet is on its way."

This information was naturally received by the black card database.

"Probes? Fleet?"

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong didn't understand, and Zhou Nan didn't quite understand either, but he just knew it. Now that he had more information, he said, "That fleet is the Seventh Fleet under the Qiluo Guard. It is coming at full power. If we don't move here, the fleet will arrive in three minutes. Its purpose is still unclear."

Xiao Taichong said, "It sounds impressive, but who cares? We have the Great Sage of the Cloud Sea here, so I doubt that fleet would dare to act recklessly."

The Great Sage of the Cloud Sea is none other than Benboerba, the protector appointed by the Dragon Slayer Emperor Li Hanqiang for Zhou Nan, whose strength must be considerable.

Of course, the reason why Emperor Li Hanqiang sent him to be a bodyguard was because he had something to ask of Zhou Nan: he hoped that Zhou Nan could find Li Hanqiang himself and ask him to lift the seal on the Dragon Slaying Empire.

However, it was clear that Li Hanqiang himself was not in the first layer of deep space, as Zhou Nan could already sense.

"Moo, moo, moo..."

Benboerba also heard what Zhou Nan said. He barked twice indifferently, clearly not caring about the so-called Seventh Fleet. He wagged his tail and slowly swam in this deep space world, as if taking a stroll.

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong continued eating hot pot, and three minutes later, sure enough, a fleet appeared.

This is a very sci-fi fleet. The mothership is pyramid-shaped, shining with golden light, and is three to four thousand meters high. If it were to fall into the human world, it would definitely be a mountain. Around the mothership, there are 33 escort ships. The escort ships are also pyramid-shaped and look similar to the mothership, but they are much smaller. If you count the height, they are about seven or eight hundred meters. In addition to the escort ships, there are countless escort fighters densely packed like bees.

The fleet immediately surrounded Benboerba upon its appearance.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a beam of light was projected from below the mothership. The beam was like a golden carpet spread across the starry sky. There was a clattering sound. From the beam, a strange humanoid creature emerged. It was wearing a red high-collared leather uniform, with a head shaped like a wine bottle, steaming from it. It had eyes, a mouth, and a nose, but no ears.

At a glance, Zhou Nan immediately understood that it was a creature from the third universe of the first layer of deep space. It was not actually a flesh and blood creature, but a data creature, or a robot. It was a puppet created by the will of deep space and completely loyal to the will of deep space.

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong were both extremely frustrated. The former said, "We've only just started eating!"

The latter pointed to the tall, strange-looking man walking out of the band of light and asked Zhou Nan, "Brother Zhou, what's that coming over there?"

Without hesitation, Zhou Nan blurted out: "Vincent, the highest executive officer of the Seventh Fleet under the Qiluo Guard, a deep-space puppet."

At this moment, Benboerba felt a bit uncomfortable. With a flick of its tail, lightning surged from its body, blasting the two nearest fighter jets to pieces.

"You lot!"

The Seventh Fleet's highest-ranking officer stopped about a hundred meters away from Benboerba. His expression was stern, exuding an imposing aura. He roared, "Probe Z65J201M2022 reports that you originate from beyond the Abyss and possess human-like features. Therefore, in accordance with the Third Universe Thorne Code and the will of deep space, you are hereby imprisoned. Do not resist!"

"Why shouldn't we be allowed to resist?"

"They're here to fight, just as expected!"

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong stopped eating hotpot and immediately stood up, took to the air, and produced long-handled broadswords. Without saying a word, they started fighting, and in an instant, several escort fighter jets were blown apart by the clang of the swords.

Benboerba also has a fiery temper. With a flick of its tail, it charges mindlessly. It doesn't like being surrounded. With this charge, it immediately breaks out of the encirclement, destroying countless escort fighters in the process.

The Seventh Fleet naturally couldn't stand idly by. A large number of escort fighters immediately opened fire, firing laser beams. Many puppet creatures with bottle-shaped heads flew out of the escort ships, wielding long spears, and launched an attack on Xiao Taichong, Xiao Taiyong, and Benboerba, showing considerable bravery.

The Seventh Fleet's highest-ranking officer then drew a gleaming spear and looked at Zhou Nan, saying, "The will of deep space cannot be defied. Surrender obediently under my spear."

Zhou Nan said, "You're just a mere level 300 puppet, yet you dare to spout such arrogant words?"

The number three hundred was information that Zhou Nan obtained out of thin air. He now had a feeling that he could use the characteristics of the Black Card Database in this deep space world, according to the standards of the Dragon Slaying Empire, to find out the level information of anyone, including himself.

Zhou Nan's current level is actually not high, only level 600.

In the blink of an eye, the battle broke out. The level 300 executive officer stepped forward, riding on a band of light and wielding a spear, seemingly intent on capturing Zhou Nan alive.

Without hesitation, Zhou Nan drew his Emperor Sword from his waist, pointed it upwards, and with a series of bangs, a large number of green cards appeared and then quickly exploded, all transforming into nuclear-powered sword immortals.

The nuclear-powered sword immortals were incredibly fierce. After appearing, they unleashed waves of sword energy, slicing through the escorting fighter jets as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. The executive officer was also blocked by the two nuclear-powered sword immortals and could not get close to Zhou Nan at all.

Zhou Nan didn't consider him an opponent at all. He released a hundred nuclear-powered sword immortals in a row before putting away his imperial sword, taking a step out of the void, and suddenly arriving in front of the deep space mothership, which resembled a space fortress.

This mothership contains a large amount of deep space data.

To be precise, it is data in itself. Zhou Nan can sense that a large amount of deep space data is forming this deep space mothership through a similar imaginary method.

"Ancient siege behemoth!"

Zhou Nan snapped his fingers again, and two cards appeared out of thin air in front of him, instantly transforming into two giant rhinoceroses nearly twenty meters tall. They were clearly two ancient siege beasts, one covered in sparks and lightning, and the other covered in frost and ice shards.

With a roar, they leaped through the air and ran with unstoppable force, crashing into the pyramid-shaped mothership and creating two large holes.

Numerous abyssal creatures with bottle-shaped heads rushed out of the two holes with cries of alarm. Zhou Nan strode forward, casually snapped his fingers, and a colossal demon appeared, laughing and drawing aggro for him.

The creatures of this deep-space world want to capture him, but he also wants access to deep-space data.

Zhou Nan's target at this moment was none other than the deep space probe hidden inside the mothership.

He strode forward, unstoppable. One after another, the Savage King, Crab Sword King, and King Overlord appeared around him, clearing away all enemies for him. Despite facing countless deep-space creatures, he moved as if he were in an empty place, and soon arrived at the core control room of the mothership.

This core control room is enormous, and floating inside is a torpedo-shaped spacecraft, which is the deep space probe numbered Z65J201M2022.

"Come!"

Zhou Nan reached out and grabbed at the air, using the [Wind Phase] technique to catch the probe in his hand. His divine power immediately sensed it, and he flicked his finger at the torpedo-shaped deep space probe. With a clang, the probe strangely transformed into countless points of light, which Zhou Nan inhaled and swallowed whole.

In this way, Zhou Nan absorbed the data from the detector. Although the Black Card database was not very large, it taught him a lot of information.

After digesting this information for a moment, Zhou Nan's eyes immediately revealed a cold and stern look.

He already knew that there were nine universes and nine supreme beings in the first layer of deep space. These nine supreme beings were collectively known as the Will of Deep Space, each ruling over a universe. These nine Wills of Deep Space all harbored strong hostility towards foreign civilizations, and therefore sent countless probes out of deep space to monitor other civilizations. Once they discovered any that posed a threat, they would send troops to annihilate them.

To this day, it is unknown how many interstellar civilizations have been wiped out by these nine deep-space wills. Zhou Nan suspects that the destruction of the Light Radiation Civilization, to which Star Wheel belongs, may also be related to the deep-space wills.

Furthermore, these nine deep-space beings seem to have issued an order to annihilate the Earth civilization, because all the probes sent out to investigate Earth have been destroyed, which they believe is a sign that the Earth civilization is too powerful.

Is war about to break out?

Upon learning this news, Zhou Nan showed no mercy and sat down cross-legged in the core control room of the mothership.

Gradually, the mothership began to melt, turning into streams of light that flew out and all converged into Zhou Nan's brow.

In fact, the probe contained deep space data, and so did the mothership. What Zhou Nan was doing was to devour and absorb all the deep space data in the mothership, but he never expected that this would cause the entire mothership to begin to melt.

"Very well, then let's use this mothership to build Mount Chiyang, which will serve as my training ground in deep space!"
