At this moment, somewhere within this so-called royal court, another kind of tragedy is unfolding, with no survivors.

The seventh helipad.

In fact, this is the largest ship berthing area in the fortress, large enough to accommodate twenty assault ships taking off and landing at the same time.

At this moment, more than two hundred space pirates are gathered here, attempting to activate the last three intact assault ships to escape this collapsing hell.

Most of them were logistics and technical personnel, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the fierce bandits who fought on the front lines.

But their survival instincts enabled them to unleash astonishing efficiency.

Engine preheating, shield charging, and ammunition loading—70% of the process was completed within three minutes.

"Faster! Faster!"

A one-eyed mechanic roared, "When those monsters catch up, we'll all be—"

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Because he noticed that an elegant figure had appeared at the entrance to the helipad.

That was probably a... snake?

No, it cannot be simply called a snake.

It is not very long.

Two flowers adorn her left temple: one is a double-petaled blue flower like a peony, and the other is a small white flower like a Gesang flower.

Its upper body is dressed in the same color "clothes", with only the tip of its tail sticking out, swaying lazily.

It hovered in mid-air, its eyes gazing gently at the space pirates on the tarmac, like a noblewoman enjoying the afternoon scenery in her own garden.

"It's...it's Mingxi's ninth pet beast?!"

With the destruction of Zeta Star, the existence of Yaoxuan naturally became known to the Alliance countries, but what kind of extraordinary creature it was remains a subject of much speculation without a clear conclusion.

It seems that apart from Mingxi, no one knows what this thing is.

The one-eyed mechanic asked in a trembling voice, his thumb ring-shaped prop already pointed at the newcomer.

Yaoxuan then slowly spoke:

"Life is but a dream, a fleeting journey on a star-studded raft; blood-stained sails reflect the setting sun."

It was actually reciting poetry.

The space pirates and their pets were all stunned for a moment.

But its next line sent chills down their spines: "Let us drink our fill of wine today, for tomorrow we will meet again in the netherworld."

After reciting the poem, Yaoxuan gently shook his head, as if he were regretting something.

Then it raised its head, shed its disguise, and made a majestic appearance as a nine-headed python.

Switch to 【Insightful Aura】, and the vertical pupil on the forehead slightly opens.

The Eye of Destiny.

More than two hundred space pirates and more than two hundred pounds of threads of fate were clearly visible to it.

It saw that the one-eyed mechanic would successfully start the engine in 17 seconds, but was hit by a stray bullet in the fuel tank 3 seconds after takeoff and exploded.

It saw that the young navigator hiding behind the bridge would attempt to initiate an emergency jump in 23 seconds, but the jump would fail due to the space blockade imposed by Little Silver Flower.

It saw that for most people, the fate of death was sealed within the next three minutes.

"How pitiful, so pitiful." Yaoxuan sighed softly, "Fate has already been written, and struggling only adds to the suffering."

It's the culprit.

That's alright then.

"Fire!!" The one-eyed mechanic finally reacted and gave the order in a hoarse voice.

More than 200 people and nearly a thousand pets, with various weapons, props and skills being used almost simultaneously.

Skill beams, live ammunition, handheld firearms, and even grenades were thrown – this was their last desperate act of madness in the face of adversity, with a barrage of fire so dense that not even a mosquito could fly through.

Of course, Yaoxuan never thought about flying away.

It didn't even adopt a defensive posture.

He just shook his head slightly.

The 【Heavenly Mandate Web】 trait is triggered passively.

Cause and effect reversed, it begins.

The first energy beam suddenly veered off course three meters from Yaoxuan and struck a charging turret on his right.

The turret exploded, scattering debris and killing five space pirates.

The second live-fire shell drew an eerie arc in the air and crashed into the engine nozzle of an assault ship.

The engine was overloaded and emitted a piercing scream.

The third batch of firearms ammunition... almost half of them jammed...

The high-explosive grenade incident was even more outrageous—the person throwing it suddenly slipped, the grenade slipped from their hand, and instead of being thrown forward, it rolled backward, landing right in the densest part of the crowd.

These anomalies filled the space pirates with fear and panic.

"Boom—!!! Boom! Boom!"

Screams erupted from all sides.

Yaoxuan remained suspended in the same spot, not even a single scale was touched.

It even had the leisure to recite another line: "All the scheming and plotting will come to naught; the dream of wealth and glory is over before it is even finished."

The space pirates were devastated.

This is not a battle at all, but a one-sided toy!

This pet is completely abnormal!

"Mommy! I want to go home! Waaaaah..."

Some people dropped their weapons and turned to flee.

But can they escape?

It looked at the fleeing people, a hint of pity flashing in its eyes.

【A sign of chaotic fate】

The fleeing space pirates suddenly stopped in their tracks.

It wasn't that I didn't want to run, but rather that countless chaotic commands were ringing in my mind at the same time.

Left! Right! Lie down! Jump up!

These conflicting instructions caused them to twitch, spin, and even collide with each other like marionettes.

"Fate binds ants like silk threads; they cannot break free or escape."

It chanted as it switched between 【the form of stealing fortune】.

Those space pirates who were still trying to resist suddenly found that their energy shields had inexplicably disappeared.

It wasn't broken, it was transferred.

—It transferred to Yaoxuan, forming a hazy halo on its body.

Even more terrifying, several pirate captains attempted to activate their life-saving gadgets.

What about spatial teleportation, and forbidden life-burning skills?

However, almost all of these items or skills become ineffective the moment they are activated.

This is theft.

The halo around Yaoxuan's body brightened even more.

"I'll borrow three feet of your luck in exchange for a day of carefree wandering."

It gracefully flicked its tail, as if to thank the gift.

At this point, the space pirates were utterly desperate.

They collapsed to the ground, clutching their pets, their eyes vacant.

It's not that I don't want to resist, but this feeling of powerlessness no matter what I do is more devastating than death.

Yaoxuan looked at them, his nine heads bobbing slightly, as if considering how to handle the situation.

Ultimately, it chose the gentlest approach.

Let these space pirates and their pets remain forever immersed in a dreamless slumber.

A gentle light enveloped the helipad, forcibly calming the emotions of all the space pirates. Fear, despair, and madness all vanished, leaving only a deep drowsiness.

One by one, they closed their eyes and fell into a dreamless slumber.

Three minutes later, all two hundred-plus space pirates lost consciousness, with no casualties.

Their pets were then sent back to the pet space, looking bewildered.

They were just asleep, and that was all.

But they never had the chance to wake up again.

The Land of Dreams.

This skill was a new skill that Yaoxuan accidentally learned while sparring with Jin Yuanbao and the others.

According to Guangguang's assessment, this skill is of the God rank.

The Land of Dreams can trap humans in a dream world forever until death. Although it is only useful to humans, it is incredibly powerful.

It works on almost everyone unless the person has strong enough mental strength!

Yao Xuan nodded in satisfaction and resumed his noblewoman snake form.

It turned gracefully, preparing to leave, and before departing, it recited a line:

"Having washed away worldly ties, I return to my homeland, sharing a boat with the bright moon and gentle breeze."

After it finished chanting, its figure gradually faded away, disappearing into the mist as if it had never existed.

Silence returned, with only the sleeping space pirates and intact ships as evidence of what had happened.

And deep within that fortress lies the Bloodsail Order's true secret warehouse.

This place holds the true wealth they accumulated through centuries of plunder.

It's not star coins, but various rare resources.

Various types of energy crystals, pet eggs, materials, ordinary items, and even relics from ancient civilizations, as well as three special entities known as the Seeds of the Abyss, which were clearly made using evil methods.

At this moment, there were still the last batch of guards inside the warehouse.

One of these people was not an ordinary space pirate, but a core member sent by the Advent Organization, a Beastmaster of SSS rank.

He had attempted to seize these resources and leave via a special teleportation array as soon as the strange activity began in the Giant Wood Royal Court.

However, this space was already sealed off by Xiao Yinhua's spatial blockade when Mingxi stepped in, making it impossible to activate.

Just like the group of old Deng who guard the source of the tree.

No one can escape the control of a pet beast that controls the laws of space and time, unless there is a god-level pet beast that also controls the laws of space and time.

But it is clear that at this moment, in this place, that is absolutely impossible.

So this man, who was specially assigned to be the'supplies manager' and who had almost control over the allocation of all resources of the Bloodsail Legion, could only stand passively in the center of the warehouse.

Besides some insignificant henchmen, he was also surrounded by three pet beasts: a Venerable-level Abyss Demon Eye, a Venerable-level Painful Dream Weaver, and a mutated species of the Starry Sky Worm, a Saint-level Bone-Eating Worm.

"Damn it! How did that devil Mingxi end up here? Wasn't she on her way back to Blue Star?"

Envoy Pugh's voice turned icy, "What a disgrace!"

Just then, Mingxi's figure appeared at the warehouse entrance.

She was alone, without any pets.

"Who are you referring to as bad luck?"

Pew instinctively replied, "That jinxed thing is Mingxi!"

"Tsk, what bad luck!"

Mingxi scoffed.

Pugh then realized that his words were wrong. He suddenly looked up and saw the girl walking towards him.

Startled, he instinctively pulled his pet beast in front of him to protect the others.

Other space pirates: "..."

"It's Mingxi!"

"Mommy, help me..."

Puyu also wanted to cry for help. As a dignified SSS-level Beastmaster, when had he ever been afraid of anyone? Even when he was in the organization, everyone respected and feared him. Even the most core members had to give him some face.

But when facing Mingxi, he was truly timid.

This woman is not only strong, but also crazy.

Not only crazy, but also strong!

Now everyone knows that he is a real living Yama, a great demon!

When he was assigned to the Bloodsail Legion, he didn't actually feel wronged. After all, managing the Bloodsail Legion's warehouse was just as lucrative as it was in the organization.

Moreover, here, apart from Black men, no one dares to contradict him.

But now he truly feels wronged.

Being exiled here is truly the worst luck imaginable!

He reasonably suspected that someone wanted him dead!

Mingxi, of course, didn't care about the complicated thoughts in this person's mind. She calmly glanced at the not-so-small warehouse.

He then took a closer look at the quail-like guards and their pets.

Finally, his gaze settled on Piyu. "Two Venerable-level pet beasts. It seems you are no ordinary space pirate."

Pew was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

“It doesn’t mean anything.” She gazed at the other person. “Are you a descendant?”

Pew was surprised again.

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

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.” Mingxi smiled coldly. “...I understand, but you might not be able to die peacefully. You’ll have to suffer a bit and bear some burdens.”

Pugh sneered: "You want to interrogate me to extract information? With your abilities?"

"Don't worry, you'll soon find out why I'm so good at this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mingxi directly 'invited the gods' and activated You Wuqiong's physique.

Exquisitely beautiful yet utterly destroyed.

The light from the warehouse entrance converged behind Mingxi, isolating her from the roar of the battle outside.

Puyu is, after all, an SSS-level individual. Although his strength was artificially boosted by resources during his descent, he is somewhat weak compared to a normal Beastmaster.

But even if he's weak, he's still an SSS-level Beastmaster. His configuration of two Venerable-level and one Saint-level pets puts him ahead of many top-level Beastmasters.

Seeing Mingxi's goddess-like appearance, he knew that this battle was inevitable, so he stopped avoiding it.

He stood in the center of the warehouse, and without further ado, simply raised his hand.

His three pets immediately sprang into action.

The Abyss Eye is a giant eyeball with a diameter of five meters.

A relatively rare type of pet with an eyeball.

Demon type.

Looking directly at this pet beast, one can almost see the myriad twisted souls hidden in its pupils; the space within sight seems to be corrupting.

The Painful Dreamweaver should be a new form of the Dreamweaver's evolution.

Normal dream weavers can ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) only evolve into Saint-level research dream weavers, not these so-called Venerable-level Painful Dream Weavers.

This is an extraordinary creature with a human head and a spider's body. Like Xue Qingting, it is a dual-type insect and fairy, but its appearance is more like a monster, which makes it hard to feel any affection for it.

Its eight segments pounded the ground in a chaotic rhythm, each strike sowing the seeds of nightmares.

The bone-eating worm was a pale insect body thirty meters long, its surface covered with breathing pores, and with each breath it would spray out acidic mist that could dissolve the laws.

These three pets were all bred by the Descent Organization using forbidden methods, making them fundamentally different from extraordinary creatures created through ordinary means.

At least normal Abyss Eyes, Dreamweavers, and worms don't have such twisted and ugly appearances.

Because of their special breeding methods, each of these three possesses one or two unique traits, and with the 'nourishment' of a large number of skill stones, they have skills that could not be listed on several pages.

"Mingxi, don't be so smug. I, Piyu, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Pew’s voice, trying to sound calm, came from behind the three pets.

"You didn't even summon your pets, thinking you could face my three pets alone? Heh heh! Arrogant! Today I'll teach you a lesson! If you die, I'll be the biggest hero!"

Mingxi ignored Pew's outrageous remarks.

She just closed her eyes, then opened them again.

Deep within the pupils, some ancient 'rule' begins to awaken.

The bone-eating worm was the first to launch an attack.

Its massive body may appear clumsy, but it is actually as fast as lightning.
