Chapter 396: Vicky’s Mission

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Marcus had thought that when he saw Eternity again, he would have a lot to say to him.

First, he would express anger and reprimand Eternity for not handling things well. Then, he would try to appease him, asking Eternity not to have second thoughts and to work hard so that everyone could enjoy the good things in life together.

Using logic and emotions, this combination could make Eternity rethink…

However, after they met, Marcus found that he could not bring himself to say any of those things.

It was not because Eternity wasn’t cooperating.

On the contrary, he was too cooperative.

This guy, wearing the appearance of an elegant young man, had a smile on his face that was like a warm breeze. Before Marcus could say anything, he had already admitted his mistakes voluntarily and presented piles of materials that he had not reported before.

As for his previous negligence, Eternity apologized repeatedly, stating that it was not intentional but a communication device problem that occurred, ensuring it would not happen again.

This made it difficult for Marcus to reprimand him.

Eternity had been operating on the surface layer for a very long time.

There were many things that only Eternity understood, making it impossible for Marcus to replace him even if he wanted to.

Now that Eternity had admitted his mistake, Marcus decided to take advantage of the situation and generously forgave Eternity for his negligence.

With this, the atmosphere of the conversation became much more harmonious.

The two of them chatted about various topics in the office, Marcus discussing the changes in the Source Essence Layer over the years and certain actions of the Stellar Tribe’s upper echelons, while Eternity shared some interesting stories on the surface layer.

It was not until the atmosphere was lively that Eternity suddenly mentioned something.

“A few days ago, some small insects from the surface layer infiltrated the Source Essence layer. Although it’s not a big problem, I’m curious about how they are doing now.”

As soon as he said this, both Vicky and Marcus were stunned.

Vicky was surprised that Eternity actually knew about Lu Ming and the others!

And he knew more than Vicky did!

Eternal was even certain that Lu Ming and the others had not lost their way in the Dead Sea. Instead, they had followed the white light passageway to reach the Source Essence Layer…

“How did he know?”

“Who told him?”

All kinds of questions flashed through Vicky’s mind, and for a moment, he felt that his mind was in chaos.

Marcus did not think that this matter was a big deal and did not understand why Eternity brought up such a trivial matter on such an important occasion.

After a brief silence, Marcus did not make up stories but simply spoke the truth, “We didn’t catch them. These insects hide very well, and the Source Essence Layer is too vast… You also know that ever since that incident, the Source Essence Layer has completely become our territory. Without external enemies, we’ve also let down our guard, leading to insufficient mobile forces…”

“In short, it was not that 1 didn’t do my best, it was that 1 didn’t have available troops on hand, and the enemy was too cunning.”

After Marcus finished speaking, Eternity nodded and said, “But leaving them roaming in the Source Essence Layer is not a good thing. How about this, my subordinate…”

As he spoke, Eternity gave Vicky a meaningful look.

Vicky was slightly stunned when he saw this. He took a step forward to stand in front of Eternity and Marcus.

Then Eternity continued, “My subordinate has good strength and abilities. He’s also familiar with those infiltrators. How about letting him be responsible for tracking down and apprehending those infiltrators.”

Vicky,”???”

Marcus:”???”

Putting aside Vicky, who was at a loss, Marcus was confused.

After a moment of silence, Marcus said, “That’s fine…”

Although he did not know why Eternity valued that group of infiltrators, since Eternity said so, Marcus decided to give Eternity face. After all, it was not a big deal.

After obtaining Marcus’s nod of agreement, Eternity looked at Vicky again.

He smiled and said, “Go do your work.”

Vicky left Marcus’s office in a daze.

It was not until he walked quite far that he realized a problem.

How was he going to find Lu Ming and the others?

Although his clone was imprisoned by Lu Ming in the Boshi Tower, the connection between the main body and the clone had been cut off. Just this alone was not enough for Vicky to locate the specific whereabouts of Lu Ming and the others.

He wanted to go back to the office to ask Eternity for advice, but after some thought, Vicky did not do that.

He could only leave the External Strategic Command Headquarters in a daze.

As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted by a woman of an unknown race with light blue skin and a graceful figure.

Seeing Vicky, her eyes lit up.

“Is this Mr. Vicky?”

Vicky was slightly stunned and immediately nodded, “Yes, may I ask who you are…”

“Xizi, just call me Xizi.” Xizi’s voice was soft and pleasant. After introducing herself, Xizi smiled and said, “Lord Marcus asked me to look for you and provide you with some intelligence support… In the future, we’ll be colleagues.”

“Please guide me.”

Vicky nodded in a daze, but it was not appropriate for him to ask anything else.

However, he could sense one thing from Xizi’s words.

In the short term, he and Eternity should be living here and not returning to the ground surface layer.

It was also this point that made Vicky a bit puzzled.

He could not understand what Eternity was planning when he returned to the Source Essence Layer this time and what plans he had in mind.

He sighed heavily in his heart. 1’11 take it one step at a time.

Xizi said she could provide Vicky with intelligence support.

However, in reality, she could not support anything.

Lu Ming and the others seemed to have disappeared and could not be found at all. The Stellar Tribe was also of no help in this regard.

This made Vicky feel like a clown—clearly undertaking a task but having nothing to do all day.

He felt that compared to the intelligence officer, Xizi was more like a tour guide… There was no intelligence or anything, but in these past few days, Xizi took Vicky around the entire Base 3.

It was unknown what Eternity was busy with, but in short, he did not give any further instructions.

As time passed, Vicky chose to just go with the flow and not worry about Lu Ming and the others.

Meanwhile, in the distant secret base of Lu Ming, as time passed, Lu Ming’s progress was gradually accelerating.

Jiu Han, Bai Zhe, the Desolate Demon Lord, and the others successively completed the reshaping of their new divinities, and the power in the old divinities was gradually being stripped away by Lu Ming.

It had been a full 23 days since the killing of Rael.

On this day, in Lu Ming’s manor in the Boshi Tower..

Jiu Han sat cross-legged in the center of the open space, with runes flickering around his body, faintly forming a cocoon shape that enveloped Jiu Han in the middle.

Suddenly, a “crack” sound spread from Jiu Han’s body, attracting everyone’s attention.

As the master of the array, Lu Ming could see it most clearly.

He could see that cracks were appearing in the old divinity inside Jiu Han’s body, like an egg about to hatch. Until the cracks covered the entire old divinity, accompanied by intense vibrations, a seven-colored radiance instantly hatched from the old divinity, drilling straight out of Jiu Han’s body.

“This is it!”

Lu Ming’s expression became serious..
