**Chapter 408: Escape, Puppet**
Hearing the voice behind him, the High Evolutionary was startled. He spun around abruptly. With his Mental Power, he hadn't detected anyone behind him... He turned around and saw that the sky had, at some point, turned into a boundless expanse of blood-red. Blood Clouds churned, and an Asian man in a White Suit, holding a silver Cane, politely nodded towards him.
The man's feet stood upon the Blood Cloud. The Blood Cloud supported him, forming Blood-colored Lotus Flowers the size of washbasins under his feet.
An Asian woman wearing a Blood-Colored Long Dress stood obediently beside the man, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Are you the Boss of those Predators?" The High Evolutionary detected an Energy from this gentle and refined man that was highly similar to the Weapons of those Predators. This made the High Evolutionary realize the Identity of the man before him.
"My surname is Tang. I'm not particularly talented, just running a small Company to make a living. East Galaxy Company is my company. Dr. Wyndham, your recent visit to Fallen Star caused me quite a bit of Loss!"
Tang Song said with a smile, leaning on his Cane.
Boss Tang was in a good mood now. He hadn't expected that Eternal Particle, this indestructible substance, could actually store Information. Not only did he learn about some of the Main God's Manufacturing process, but he also comprehended a Great Divine Ability from the Mark on the Eternal Particle.
Mediation of Creation, this Great Divine Ability ranked first among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques. It mediates Heaven and Earth, profoundly capable of Creation, creating something from nothing, turning death into life.
It is said that Nuwa relied on this Creation Divine Ability to create Humanity in the Jambudvīpa World back then.
As for why the Main God Barracks is related to this Mystic Sect Divine Ability, Tang Song estimated that among the people who built the Main God back then, there must have been Great Divine Ability User among the Cultivator. There might even have been his "Acquaintance". He just didn't know if it was a Buddhist Venerable, a Daoist Venerable, or a Demon Emperor who participated. However, judging from the Mark engraved in the Eternal Particle, this component of the Main God Barracks was precisely Manufactured by this "Acquaintance"! The Method for Manufacturing Dao Soldiers in the Main God Barracks doesn't it inherently contain the Great Divine Ability of Mediation of Creation? Moreover, the Method of forging Soldiers using the Power of Faith is too similar to the Yellow Turban Strongman and Guardian Arhats of the Buddhist and Taoist Schools! They are almost identical.
Therefore, since he could see the trace of a "Compatriot" here, it meant that he might have a chance to cross the Chaos Sea and return to the Jambudvīpa World, or even Earth. Boss Tang, at this moment, felt somewhat like Liu Bang returning to his Hometown after gaining power, singing the "Great Wind Song." After all, King Xiang once said, "Returning wealthy without returning to one's hometown is like walking in embroidered clothes at night!"
Boss Tang, in a great mood, didn't even feel much aversion towards the High Evolutionary before him. After all, this High Evolutionary wasn't a Thug!
The High Evolutionary looked at Tang Song and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Tang knows me, are you also an Earthling?! I didn't expect to see a Compatriot tens of thousands of Light-years away. I am very sorry about the Fallen Star incident,
However, there was a reason for it. The Sovereign has always provided Funds for my Experiment. Your people invaded the Sovereign, so I had no choice but to go to Fallen Star!"
Was the High Evolutionary someone easy to talk to? The answer was naturally no. From the surprised Expression of the Tiger-man Tagar behind him, it was clear that these words didn't sound like something the usually tough High Evolutionary would say!
The High Evolutionary felt the Cosmic Psionic Energy surrounding him. His Gaze towards Tang Song was filled with Fear. It wasn't that he wanted to back down; it was just that this man was clearly standing in front of him, yet he couldn't sense the man's Existence.
And beside Tang Song, the woman wearing the Blood-Colored Long Dress gave him the feeling of facing a boundless Blood Sea. In his Spirit body state, looking at Nv Ba, he could even clearly smell the pungent scent of blood water. Facing the High Evolutionary's fearful Gaze, Nv Ba, standing gracefully beside Tang Song, raised her Eyes and met the High Evolutionary's Gaze—
With this one look, the High Evolutionary saw mountains of corpses and a Blood Sea in Nv Ba's Eyes. The woman seemed to be in the center of the Blood Sea, where viscous Blood Waves rolled.
Vaguely, he could see hundreds of millions of distorted Shadows struggling and roaring in the Blood Waves within the Blood Sea.
The High Evolutionary could even clearly see the distorted, ferocious faces of the Shadows in the Blood Sea. This boundless Blood Sea seemed to possess a kind of Magic Power, attracting those who wanted to throw themselves into it.
"Doctor!"
The Tiger-man Tagar looked at the High Evolutionary, who was in a daze and stepping forward, and couldn't help but shout. The High Evolutionary jolted and immediately sobered up... When the High Evolutionary looked at the woman in the Red Dress again, he saw that she was standing gracefully beside Tang Song with her Eyebrows lowered, as if everything just now had been an Illusion.
Tang Song rubbed his Cane and looked at the High Evolutionary: "If I'm not mistaken, the Sovereign were the ones who Provoked us first. When you do something wrong, you have to admit it. As we say in my Hometown, 'Stand at attention when you get hit!'"
"Since you admit that the Fallen Star incident was your doing, asking for some Compensation isn't too much, is it?"
Looking at Tang Song, the Expression on the High Evolutionary's Astralized face flickered and changed: "What Compensation do you want?"
Tang Song said with a smile, "I'm a very fair person. I don't ask for much. I'm quite Interested in your Gene Enhancer and your Research Data from these years. How about you share them with me? Consider it your Compensation!"
Hearing Tang Song's Conditions, the High Evolutionary's Illusory face suddenly darkened: "Don't be too excessive!"
"Are the Requirements I'm proposing excessive?" Tang Song showed a thoughtful Expression on his face and turned to ask Nv Ba beside him.
The graceful Nv Ba lazily ran her Finger through her loose Long Hair and shook her Head.
"See, I told you this Condition I'm proposing isn't excessive!"
Tang Song turned back, tapped the Cane in his Palm, his gentle Smile disappeared, and his tone turned cold: "I want your Spaceship and everything on it, including the Knowledge in your Head. Agree, and you live. Don't agree, and you die. As for the Things, I'll take them myself!"
Tang Song's Voice was gentle and refined, extremely pleasant to listen to, but his words were filled with bone-chilling Killing Intent.
The High Evolutionary frowned. He glanced fearfully at the woman in the Red Dress beside Tang Song, then suddenly waved his hand and shouted sternly, "Tagar, kill them!"
After the High Evolutionary finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared. Along with him, the Figure of Rocket Raccoon also disappeared.
The nearly three-meter-tall Tiger-man Big man Tagar swung the half-broken Flail in his hand and leaped towards Tang Song. Nv Ba stepped forward to block in front of Tang Song. With a flick of her long sleeve, she lightly drew her Palm downwards from top to bottom. A hundred-meter-long Blood-colored Sword Qi, accompanied by a piercing Whistle, burst forth from Nv Ba's delicate Fingertip.
Before the Tiger-man Tagar could even get close, he was instantly split Shuzhi into two halves by the Sword Qi shot by Nv Ba. Blood and Internal Organs sprayed out from the Tiger-man's half-Corpse. The two pieces of Remains fell from High Altitude. From beginning to end, the Energy field generator on his Body and that set of Golden Armor seemed like paper mache under Nv Ba's Sword Qi.
Facing the Tiger-man's Attack, Tang Song didn't even blink. He tapped his Cane, and the Blood Cloud under his feet separated, catching the falling Groot and the unconscious Dark Predator.
"Mind Severely Injured..." Tang Song's Divine Sense swept over the unconscious Dark Predator. He flicked his Finger, and a drop of silver Dewdrop shot out from his Fingertip, sinking into the Dark Iron Blood's Brow... In his coma, the Dark Iron Blood, whose Expression was one of painful struggle, immediately had his breathing smooth out. The Self-Destruct Device on his Body, which had entered its Countdown, had somehow appeared in Tang Song's hand!
The Astralized High Evolutionary was rushing back to the Main Ship with Rocket Raccoon at super speed. Above his Head, a circular Space Gate suddenly appeared, sparking—
Then, a device connected to an Energy generator, flashing with Red Light, flew out from within the Space Gate, smashing directly towards the High Evolutionary's Head.
"Beep Beep Beep Beep—Boom!"
As the Countdown on the device ended, a ball of exploding Firelight and Shockwave instantly engulfed the High Evolutionary. In the Firelight comparable to a tactical Nuclear Blast, the Astralized High Evolutionary's Spirit body instantly expanded to a height of three hundred feet, firmly protecting Rocket Raccoon in his Palm!
"Truly touching!"
Tang Song applauded, watching the Astralized High Evolutionary. At the High Evolutionary's Chest, Rocket Raccoon, who was firmly protected by his two Arms, was not harmed in the slightest, not even a single Body Hair, despite being at the center of the Explosion. However, he looked at Tang Song with a resentful Gaze.
However, the High Evolutionary's Strength was outstanding. Although his Astralized form wasn't wearing that Perception Armor with healing factors, being at the center of a tactical Nuclear Blast-level Explosion, his Spirit body was completely unharmed, except for a slight Fluctuation.
"Tang, I'll remember you. I definitely won't let you off!"
A Blue Light flashed on the High Evolutionary's Spirit body's Brow, and a powerful Psychic Storm swept towards Tang Song. Then, without looking back, he ran towards his Spaceship again.
"You think you can just run away after saying some harsh words? Do you think you're Grey Wolf?"
In front of Tang Song, two masses of Yin and Yang cloud Qi swirled, instantly dissolving the Psychic Storm sweeping towards him into nothingness. At the same time, a Golden Bridge spanned out from the cloud Qi. With a flash of Golden Light, the High Evolutionary felt his arms empty. He looked down and saw that Rocket Raccoon had disappeared.
He looked back and saw Tang Song holding Rocket Raccoon by the back of his Neck with one hand, lifting him up, with a mocking Smile on his face that made one want to punch him.
The High Evolutionary took a deep look at Rocket Raccoon, who was being held by Tang Song, then flew towards the Sky without looking back. Without Rocket Raccoon dragging him down, the High Evolutionary's Speed in escaping this time was ten times faster. After all, he was now an Astralized Spirit body.
His Speed could not be said to be slow—
But even so, the High Evolutionary couldn't escape—
A Bloodlight flashed, and Nv Ba's Figure blocked the High Evolutionary's path. The High Evolutionary looked at the woman in the Red Dress blocking him. His Spirit body, now three hundred feet tall, condensed the surrounding Cosmic Psionic Energy, forming a giant Palm that slapped towards Nv Ba.
The enormous Palm, capable of overturning mountains and seas, had distinct fingers, so clear that even the Palm lines could be seen... The moment the Palm slapped down, white Qi Bursts rose around the Palm. Its Aura was even more violent than the self-destruct of the Dark Predator's device just now!
The next moment, the High Evolutionary felt an absurdly strong Great Strength coming from his Palm. A fair-skinned Palm grabbed the Psionic Power finger condensed with his Mental Power, swung him around, and smashed him fiercely towards a black Warship below.
With a loud bang, the surviving modular Warship Five was directly shattered.
Under this Great Strength, the High Evolutionary was literally smashed from the bow to the stern. The entire Spaceship was like being hit from end to end by an Armor-Piercing Round, its hull completely torn apart.
"What kind of Monster are you!?" The High Evolutionary felt his Spirit body trembling slightly. How could a purely Strength-based Attack injure his Spirit body? Moreover, under the interference of a strange Strength just now, he couldn't even Etherealize his Spirit body.
The High Evolutionary looked at Nv Ba in disbelief!
At this moment, Nv Ba had four sharp, golden-red Fangs protruding from her mouth. Her bright Eyes were covered by a thick expanse of blood-red. Long Claws extended from her Fingertips. The two-foot-long Claws were wrapped in crimson Corpse Fire, and countless Blood Water gradually gathered around her, merging into a constantly churning Blood Cloud beside her.
Facing the High Evolutionary's shock and doubt, Nv Ba let out a mocking Smile. Her Figure suddenly flashed like Lightning, instantly appearing before the High Evolutionary.
The High Evolutionary jolted, and his Body immediately entered the Etherealized state. Once he entered the Spirit body Etherealization stage, it was like isolating himself from the physical World.
Just like how normal Firearms cannot cause any damage to Ghosts.
But how could the High Evolutionary have imagined that the woman before him was a Drought Zombie, a Heaven and Earth Other? Demons, Ghosts, Spirit bodies—to her, they were all Food.
Nv Ba grabbed and hooked with her ten Fingers. Her two-foot-long Claws, burning with Blood Flame, completely sank into the High Evolutionary's left and right ribs. She opened her large mouth and bit fiercely onto the High Evolutionary's Neck artery, greedily sucking up the High Evolutionary's abundant Spirit body Psionic Power.
A joyful 'gurgling' sound came from Nv Ba's Throat, as if an old glutton who hadn't eaten for over a decade was happily eating a bowl of steaming hot Beef ramen.
The High Evolutionary roared in pain,
The feeling of his Spirit body being Devoured bit by bit was ten times more painful than cutting meat from a Physical Body with a dull Knife. That feeling was like something was draining his Soul. The High Evolutionary desperately used the Fists condensed from Cosmic Psionic Energy to wildly smash at Nv Ba's Head, Neck, back, and anywhere else he could reach, bombarding her fiercely.
But no matter how hard the High Evolutionary pounded, Nv Ba kept her bite on his Spirit body, not letting go at all.
The Psionic Power Fists condensed by the High Evolutionary hitting Nv Ba's Body were like a Hammer carved from wood striking a great mountain cast from Alloy.
Gradually, the High Evolutionary even saw Illusions before his Eyes. In a Vast Ocean of Blood Sea, countless blood-red Fierce Souls seemed to be beckoning to him!
Seemingly welcoming his arrival.
"No!"
The High Evolutionary suddenly roared, and with a tearing sound, he forcibly ripped his Spirit body into two halves—
Abandoning half of his Spirit body, the High Evolutionary took advantage of Nv Ba's rampant Devour of that half. The remaining small portion of his Spirit body, carrying that bit of Mental Consciousness, rushed towards High Altitude.
"He's quite a ruthless one!"
Tang Song watched the High Evolutionary's bit of Consciousness escape and shook his Head. He took an ugly puppet woven from rattan from Rocket Raccoon's hand.
Hmm, one could vaguely see a little trace of the High Evolutionary in it.
Tang Song beckoned with his hand. A bit of the High Evolutionary's remaining Spirit body Mental Thought, which was near Nv Ba's mouth, flew into his Palm. Tang Song joined his Fingers and pointed it at the puppet's Brow.
The ugly puppet had a dot of vermilion on its Brow. Although it was clearly a puppet, it seemed to have gained a Soul and come to life.
"Here, play with it!" Tang Song casually tossed the puppet back to Rocket Raccoon.
Rocket Raccoon took the puppet in his hand, fiddling with it carelessly. Snap. Without paying attention, he directly broke off one of the puppet's Arms.
