American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 112 The Holy Ark

Soon, another Pandora-like situation appeared before Li Buying. In this world, the planet had been developed by someone using hardened criminals.

The reward is the release of them at the "appropriate" time, but as for when...

Their main purpose was to mine a mineral called iridium on the planet Pandora. Later, it seems that treasure hunters spread the word that Pandora contained ancient alien technology, so other companies flocked there as well.

According to the information Ai Yi found, there is a super-advanced civilization in this universe that left traces on some planets, and many of humanity's technologies were deduced from those places.

However, this highly advanced civilization itself vanished without a trace, and no one knows what happened to it.

In addition to these, Ai also discovered a message from Kuben Brisk, the leader of the [Top Hunters], to Kate. Of course, it wasn't sent individually, but to a group.

On the distant edge of the Milky Way, in a place difficult for the Earth United Government to govern, the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) gave the hunters a mission—

Together with their company's team, they thwarted the resistance of the border residents.

The universe is vast, and it is currently difficult for Earth's forces to precisely control every corner of it. After all, interstellar travel is very time-consuming, even with warp devices.

Therefore, the only approach Earth can currently take is similar to a "feudal system" or "colonies." Except for planets that can bring great benefits, the local star system regions are generally allowed to develop autonomously.

This leads to a huge problem in the current cosmic environment—the land and people that have been separated will gradually become disobedient.

Yes, it's similar to the Americas back then.

These companies are currently facing a situation where border forces want to sever ties with them and develop independently, while the Earth government is happy to see these guys have internal conflicts and sit on the sidelines watching them fight amongst themselves.

"Notify all Hunter members who will receive this message within the next year to immediately proceed to the star system near Typhon. We have an important mission and need to fight the border rebels."

"If anyone hears this and dares not come over, then don't blame me for being cold-blooded and ruthless."

A somewhat frivolous middle-aged male voice came from the recording. Li Buying pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you confident you can escape from Typhon by jumping over?"

The spaceship is currently very close to Typhon, and it's clear that Kate's original goal was to get there first to deal with this most important matter.

Since they were so close, and the plot didn't seem to have fully begun yet, Li Buying naturally wanted to go and see the ancient weapon [Holy Ark] that could influence time.

In Li Buying's mind, the "Holy Ark" seemed to be a weapon that could control time and space.

In the story, it seems that the original purpose of this thing in the company's hands was to be mounted on a large machine that didn't look like a turret, and to provide it with energy.

If the attack is actually launched, it will be a planet-destroying weapon. It can probably ignore the energy travel time and obstacles in the way, and then hit the target directly, completely destroying the entire planet that is locked on.

In short, the protagonist Cooper and his Titan BTs stopped it in the end. As a result, the Ark of the Holy See exploded on the turret, and the planet on which the turret was located was completely destroyed. They escaped the disaster by using the warp drive.

Ai Yi nodded slightly: "That's fine. Our large spaceships can simply stay temporarily on the satellite, and our small spaceships also have short-distance jump capabilities."

"Shall we go check out the area around Typhon Star and see what's going on?"

Li Buying hesitated. That was a chaotic battleground. What if his means of transportation were destroyed? Was he supposed to use [Phantom Teleportation] to move to Earth?

This joke isn't funny; he doesn't have that much magic.

"Don't worry, once we get close to those ships, I can secretly hijack their systems. Even if this ship is destroyed, we can use other people's ships."

Ai Yi said there wasn't a big problem, and Li Buying naturally chose to believe her, nodding and saying, "Then let's go to the star system near Typhon first."

There's no need to worry too much about orbital bombing over there. Once Typhon Star Company and the border people go to war, the personnel will become very mixed, and anyone who dares to launch an orbital bombing will be ganged up on by the others.

If all else fails, he still has gravitonium, which can be used to wrap some oxygen and get to another spaceship before it runs out.

After considering her own safety, Li Buying decided that she was going to Typhon Star. Ai Yi began to control the spaceship to fly forward. The spaceship had enough energy, but the jump device needed to be cooled.

Without disturbing the mechanical girl any longer, he walked out of the main control room to check on the people who had been kidnapped in the cells.

Oh, of course he won't release it; it's better to keep it locked up. He'll have Ai Yi do everything he can to keep the spaceship safe until they reach another, more commercialized planet, where they can be "rescued."

Okay, so even if they're thrown onto other planets, it's already pretty good that Li Buying doesn't sell them off. Anyway, he doesn't plan to send them back to their original planets within his limited time.

Upon reaching the prison area, Ai Yi's clone had already arrived and led him to the loudspeaker. Li Buying activated the prison's public address system and tapped it a few times.

Each cell was fitted with a translator, and each virtual screen displayed the method of wearing the device. The reactions of the interstellar personnel and the planetary personnel differed, but then they all heard Li Buying's voice:

"Greetings, everyone. I am Magi North. This ship is now under my control. All members of the elite hunters are dead."

"Since I am not a slave trader, if a suitable interstellar planet becomes available, I will send you all down there. Whether you can return home is up to you."

"Consider this translator a donation from me. I hope you can work together well and return to your hometown."

Upon hearing this new news, the personnel who had already made contact with the interstellar community showed a hint of joy. The fact that they wouldn't be sold to strange planets as slaves or eliminated by top hunters was the best news for them.

Moreover, they were placed on a commercial planet, so even if they couldn't travel between stars, they could still live a peaceful life.

Other indigenous peoples, like the Na'vi from Avatar, are in a much worse situation. They might not even know what Li Buying is talking about and could be tricked and deceived by interstellar personnel. Even if they gain their freedom, they might become prisoners again.

Li Buying didn't care about any of that. After giving the notification, he checked the personnel information in the cell, but unfortunately there wasn't anyone who was worth his attention. So he asked Ai Yi to lead him to the bedroom to sit down and wait for the first jump to arrive.

About eight hours later, Ai Yi's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Master, the warp is ready, please prepare."

Upon hearing this, he quickly opened his eyes and then closed them again, releasing his gravitational senses in preparation for experiencing the jump.
