Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 14: 73 Stars in a Row

Upon hearing Perseus's instructions, Number 1 immediately began to investigate.

"According to the information registered by the Mingguang Empire, there are a total of 42375 slave planets within a 1 light-year radius. Among them, 21645 of them are backed by cosmic-level forces. With Master's strength, we can take action against them directly. However, the others, which have domain lord backgrounds, will cause trouble if they are exposed when we take action... Master, should we eliminate the forces that are cooperating with us?"

"A collaboration???"

Perseus frowned. "The planet of the Umon family?"

"Never mind that, just filter!"

"The new Crimson Flame Armor has the dual effects of 'armor' and 'Force Suit.' At worst, I'll cover my face and activate the previously added camouflage ability. We can fire one shot and leave. As long as we change ships and hide our identities, who will know it was us who did it?"

Soon, a screen of light rose up in front of Perseus.

The map is densely marked with many planets, all of which are registered slave planets. In addition to training slaves for sale, they also engage in a series of side businesses such as planting and mining. However, most of these planets are only guarded by a few stars, and there are very few planets guarded by cosmic-level beings.

With fewer goals, there are naturally fewer choices.

Moreover, with Perseus's current strength, anyone who isn't a seventh-tier or higher cosmic-level expert simply can't withstand a single shot from him.

"This one will do!"

Perseus directly chose a planet that produced C-grade green tearstones.

He then found a desolate planet, converted it into a sword-shaped spaceship he had privately purchased, set it to autopilot, and sped toward his target planet.

……

half a month later.

"boom--"

Instant flames engulfed the entire atmosphere, and the unbearable heat relentlessly baked the earth, turning slaves into charred remains amidst their wails.

Sensing the threat, several cosmic-level powerhouses who were originally cultivating and enjoying themselves at the center of the planet soared into the sky.

"Who dares to invade the territory of the Kashur family?"

They were met with a barrage of gunfire.

Countless solidified flame spear beams fell like meteors, as if they were falling rocks, bringing with them terrifying explosions and high temperatures, and distorted patterns appeared in the void wherever they passed.

"Bang!!!"

A cosmic-level powerhouse was instantly blasted into dust.

The other four cosmic-level beings were shocked by what they saw. Just as they were about to dodge to the side, a terrifying arc of light arrived in an instant, killing one of them on the spot.

The blood evaporated and vanished into nothingness in the intense heat and light.

The young man turned around, his face half-covered in armor, revealing a pair of dark golden pupils through the openwork fire patterns.

He looked indifferently at the weak ants, then sped away, his voice low and eerie.

"Three left..."

Two more bursts of fireworks appeared in the sky.

Flames erupted, and killing intent swept through like a storm. Perseus, wielding his spear, ignored the last cosmic-level plea for mercy and unleashed a fierce tiger tail swing.

The sea of ​​fire covering the entire planet caved in, and then erupted again.

Waves of fire rose higher and higher, illuminating the dim starry sky.

The person who caused all this had already taken out his vehicle, started it, accelerated, and skillfully disappeared above the planet.

……

After a long while, the flames gradually died down.

A disc-shaped spaceship suddenly appeared above the dim star, and a powerful figure with wide-open tiger eyes stepped out of it.

"The 73rd one."

The Domain Lord 'Jin', who had already broken through to the Domain Lord level for 30,000 years, stared at his half-destroyed planet with a twisted expression, feeling both shocked and furious.

How many times has this happened...?

Where did this damned madman come from? A domain lord who controls an extremely high-level fire domain, yet he indiscriminately attacks slave planets.

Damn!

Which slave trader failed to properly manage their slaves, allowing them to escape, break through to the Domain Lord level, and then turn against them?

"He must be arrested—"

"This time, I'm not the only victim. It seems I need to make arrangements for the stakeout plan that I discussed with those guys before."

A domain lord is not like an immortal.

The forces of immortal gods are being attacked by powerful enemies, and they may be able to quickly reach the battlefield via divine teleportation.

This time, the enemy was clearly retaliating. In fact, when they took action later, they even abandoned the various resources they would have otherwise plundered.

In this situation, it's very difficult to block the other party, let alone develop peacefully and reap benefits from the planets under their control as before.

For a time, several affected galaxies nearby were on high alert.

Several domain lords teamed up to stake out the location, using the most basic and inefficient method to try and stop the 'madman' domain lord who acted without any scruples.

Unfortunately, their efforts were destined to be in vain.

Because Perseus has already given up.

When profits are sufficient, withdrawing in time is the wisest course of action for a speculator.

……

Inside a spaceship heading towards the Maple Blue Starfield where Comet TX-5672 is located.

"Master, are you not going to continue attacking these planets?"

Perseus turned his head to look at the bald figure beside him, noticed the thoughtful look in the other's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Number 1, you just don't understand!"

"I'll just throw a few quick punches, then turn and run. They won't have time to react. They've already suffered so many losses; those idiots should have learned their lesson by now. What if they choose a slave planet to camp on me in this situation?"

"Then, Master, what are your plans for the new movement technique?"

"A new movement technique—"

Perseus looked down at the Flamefall Spear in his hand, which had been modified to a two-star level 9 using the "Holy Flame Spear" technique and with a large amount of ore.

This gun, like the Crimson Flame Armor, has reached the Domain Lord level, and due to its internal runes, its power is not weak among fourth-tier Force weapons.

"Movement techniques must be used in conjunction with weapons!"

Since we've decided to emulate Nezha, in addition to the Flaming Spear, we also need to equip ourselves with the Swallowing Star version of the Universe Ring and the Heavenly Silk.

The strong members of the Yanji lineage are often both martial artists and spiritual masters. Their ability to resonate with the sacrificial runes means that their spiritual mastery is also quite high.

Therefore, having a suitable weapon is essential.

【Everything Puzzle】is based on the idea that "everything can be pieced together".

With Perseus's current strength, he can basically condense all levels of two-star cards. Similarly, he can imprint the arcane techniques he has learned onto his weapons one by one.

This is a gradual process of improvement.

The secret techniques reside in the mind's eye. With each new technique Perseus learns, he can imprint it onto Force weapons by piecing together complex elements.

The power of the weapons keeps increasing, and sooner or later they will catch up with the genuine Universe Ring, Hun Tian Ling and Fire-Tipped Spear in Nezha's hands.

"Hmm... let's make the Universe Ribbon next~"

"Through this period of killing, I have also collected eight kinds of fourth-order ores with lower-level law attributes. Although they are not ten-element laws, by fusing eight lower-level laws, they may be able to achieve the power of 'chaos'."

Let's begin!

"I can't wait to see this telekinetic weapon that I created myself—"
