Xing Tie, my abstract thinking ability is refreshed every week.

"He's a real treasure, he never falls off his lap!"

Potio defiantly protested.

"The problem is, when have we wandering knights ever had a normal day? Every single day is a life of escaping death amidst gunfire and explosions?"

"The spaceship being shot down is a minor matter."

"But don't worry, this time we'll have a smooth journey. Nobody's behind us, so we guarantee we won't crash!"

Potio explained his previous experience with the plane crash and reassured him.

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Chang Geng smiled politely.

"Uh, let's hear the bad news first."

Potio didn't understand what he was up to.

"Bad news, there's been a problem with our spaceship. Many devices have malfunctioned, such as all the controls in the back seat."

Chang Geng chuckled.

"what?"

Potio exclaimed, "Then you'd better give me all the control permissions right away!"

"Good news, I gave it to you a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Chang Geng recounted the remaining information.

Portio didn't bother to reply, and instead took control of the spaceship with an air of "I'll turn the tide," only to find it was all in vain.

Just as he said, all the controllable devices malfunctioned.

The spaceship, having been tricked, wandered aimlessly.

Although everything is alright for now, the outcome of the plane crash seems to be already in sight.

"brother."

Potio turned around and looked at Chang Geng's handsome face, which had no flaws.

"What's wrong, bro?"

"Seems like it's not working, bro."

Potio looked at him with a serious expression, blinked, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

"Does anyone know what 'takeoff and crash' means?"

Chang Geng smiled with relief.

"I understand, brother, I understand."

Potio looked as if he understood perfectly.

I can totally relate, we're both in the same boat!

"Take your knowledge and get me a large portion!"

Chang Geng made up his mind.

He will receive a six-star gift from the half-year anniversary event whenever he uses any of Portio's transportation.

"Hahaha!"

Potio finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha!"

Chang Geng laughed too, laughing out of anger.

"Hahaha!" x2

Amidst their laughter, their spaceship, as if possessing some kind of independent consciousness, began to crash towards an unknown planet.

……

……

"Ms. Emerald, what did you say?"

Topa seemed somewhat dazed.

According to her, this "antimatter legion" was brought by someone else, not by the "Iron Tomb".

[At least according to the company's records, this is indeed the case.]

Unlike other Highlords, the arrival of the Iron Tomb has never been accompanied by the Antimatter Legion.

"That is to say?"

Toppa couldn't imagine this possibility.

The "commanders," who are usually elusive and rarely seen, suddenly appeared in three places.

This hasn't even started the "War of the Gods" yet!

[While it's possible they came on their own, it's more likely they were brought by another "Great Lord of Annihilation"]

Jade took a deep breath and stated her hypothesis.

The key to this hypothesis lies in "the year's yang energy".

The appearance of "Suiyang" in Balanza is itself a bizarre occurrence.

Even setting aside the fact that most of the "Suiyang" is on the Immortal Ship side, don't you think the timing of this "Suiyang's" appearance is too coincidental?

It's almost as if they came here for some specific reason.

Jade shared her insights.

So what are they after? I think the answer is obvious—

【"Iron Tomb"】

[“Suiyang” is also associated with “destruction,” so the candidate has been basically locked in.]

According to company intelligence, one of the Great Lords of Annihilation happens to be a "Suiyang" who is not under the control of the Immortal Ship, and the two patrolling sea knights are probably after her.

【"Illusory"】

Emerald softly uttered the name of this Extinction Lord.

"If it's really as you say, then why did 'Phantom' come to Balanza?"

Topa never imagined that reality would be such a scene.

Celestial General of the Immortal Boat, and two Great Lords of Annihilation.

Three top-tier combatants, known as "Commanders," arrived at once.

That's too much of a stunner.

[They're probably just here to support their colleague; otherwise, they wouldn't have remained on the sidelines without taking any action.]

Jade believes this might be the biggest.

Huanlong is about to make her move; all she needs to do is keep Chang Geng occupied.

That Balanza is probably doomed today.

Toppa alone cannot stop them.

It takes time for the "foundation" to shatter and for the "diamond" to arrive, enough for the newly born emperor to destroy everything.

"So Huanlong just retreated like that?" Topa asked, puzzled.

Having observed the whole situation from the sidelines, and then leaving gracefully, this seems more like a journey of "joy" than "destruction."

[It's probably not a retreat, but rather that they chose their goal long ago.]

Jade felt that Chang Geng's arrival was outside of Huanlong's plan, but this was exactly what she wanted.

"You mean that celestial general from the Immortal Ship?"

Toppa understood what she meant.

[If nothing unexpected happens.]

[This celestial general recently clashed with "Star Howl's" clone; Huanlong must have received this information and wanted to personally investigate his capabilities.]

"Star Howl?"

Toppa had never heard of his deeds.

The mysterious archer suddenly became a celestial general, and the comedic character suddenly became serious. This change is hard for people to accept at first.

What is the company's stance?

He was a true seafaring knight-errant.

If she had met him in her hometown before she went to work, she would probably be a wandering knight now.

Topa shook his head and smiled.

Regardless, she still hopes that good people will be rewarded.

[If necessary, "Diamond" will step in.]

"Really? That's good."

Upon hearing this, Toppa immediately stopped worrying.

"Now all we can do is hope that Mr. Shockwave isn't actually a CJB."

Calling her a tornado, Topa felt it wouldn't be too much to reciprocate with a shockwave.

She wasn't even qualified to enter the "Envoy's" scheme, let alone help him in any way.

However, since "Diamond" said he would protect him, his life safety is at least not a concern.

Book 1: No. 48: Kill the one you love, kill the one you believe in, and finally kill yourself.

"His precious...where is this...?"

Potio clutched his aching head and shook it to ease the dazed feeling.

"Two plane crashes in one day... damn... this is terrible..."

Potio sighed, wondering if he had been set up by capital.

Where is my brother?

After Potio and the others regained their senses, they began to look around.

"What about the boats?"

They were searching for Chang Gung and the remains of the crashed ship.

But the sight that met his eyes left him momentarily stunned.

Before him stretched a vast pasture, with countless cattle and sheep grazing pastures on their way to the lush pastures not far away.

Potio was quite familiar with the scene before him, or rather, he would never forget his hometown, a place where time seemed to stand still in his memory.

"Algonquin Appacher"

This is his lost homeland, a place he can never return to.

The water here is as pure as fine wine, the snow here is as cold as a knife; this is—the best world.

This is something the person who raised him often says.

Potio thought they were absolutely right.

A golden nest or a silver nest can never compare to one's own doghouse.

No matter how good big cities are, they are not a lifestyle for them.

Even though Potio later traveled to many planets as a seafaring ranger, he never found another place like "Argon" where he would willingly die.

"What...what's going on..."

Potio opened his mouth in a daze, somewhat incredulous, and also somewhat... unwilling to wake up.

The original ecosystem of "Algons" was completely destroyed by those newbies in the market development department, so there is absolutely no way any trace of it could have been left.
