Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1201 1172: The End
Plans can never keep up with changes, and predictions and evaluations can't either.
The battle airspace between "Seed Nest" McKenny and the Combined Space Battleship is not visible from the surface of Xiya Planet, but many detectors nearby are constantly keeping their attention focused, allowing Chen Fei to receive the news immediately.
Even though many were lost due to the collateral effects of the battle, there are still over three digits worth of detectors luckily surviving, steadfastly maintaining operational state.
Louis Landon looked around; inside and outside of the "Skylight" were two completely different worlds. Outside, the light was dim, the ground was cracked everywhere, with no trace of life, while inside there was grass everywhere, lush greenery, tall trees and short shrubs dotting the space, full of vitality. The bright light from the illumination system made the interior of the "Skylight" as bright as day. There were not many buildings here, only a water storage tower, a three-story building, and a small Target Low Temperature Nuclear Fusion Energy Tower. Besides ten mechanical beings taking care of the plants, maintaining the ecological environment, there was no one else.
This is the second "Skylight" base; the previous one was obliterated into ashes along with the ground by the aftermath of the battle between "Seed Nest" McKenny and the Combined Space Battleship, leaving only a shocking huge rift.
Noticing Mr. Landon's eyes scanning all around, Chen Fei proactively introduced, "This is Xiya Planet, the third planet of the No.2 Star System, rich in light resources, worthy to be called a Chosen Planet. Its position and resources in the Star System aligned with Blue Star. Originally, it had abundant ecological resources, but now, as the first barrel of 'Gold' after the 'Sagali' Civilization blasted out of the atmosphere into the space age, life has completely gone extinct, and even now there's no hope for rejuvenation."
The starting point of the equally plundered "Sagali" Civilization, Antalu Star, although its natural environment has similarly deteriorated, it still retains a glimmer of vitality, alongside the existence of the primordial "Seed Nest" McKenny, barely sustaining Antalu Star's limited ecological resources.
Louis Landon couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking far ahead, there were no traces outside the "Skylight" of what once was a Life Planet. Even civilization did not exist anymore; the parasitic species scavenged too fiercely. Not to mention ten thousand years, even after a million years, this star would not be able to recover its vital energy.
He absolutely did not want such an event to happen on Blue Star; such a glorious human civilization cannot perish at the hands of parasitic species.
A small flying ship appeared nearby the four; it's the standard vehicle for moving within the Star System, although not intended as a transportation tool, it provides basic protection and a reliable place to stay, preventing direct exposure to cosmic void.
In the void, there exist some unknown dangers, such as deadly high-energy cosmic rays; no one knows when and from what angle they might shoot over directly. The protection provided by small flying ships is undoubtedly stronger than Single Soldier Tactical Armor.
"Mr. Landon, stand firm!"
Chen Fei extended his hand, pressing Louis Landon's shoulder.
Countless tiny geometric particles surfaced first on the former's body, swiftly assembling into a fully enclosed set of Dragon King Assault Heavy Armor; it then spread across the latter's body, forming a matching Dragon King for Mr. Landon.
To distinguish between the two, the surface coating of the Dragon King Assault Heavy Armors slightly differed; Chen Fei's was white-gray, while Louis Landon's was a more striking orange-yellow.
Heseman Brown also donned a Dragon Guard Single Soldier Tactical Armor, and Dang Wei Jun usually wore the Single Soldier Tactical Armor daily, treating it as a uniform, saving the effort.
The four boarded the small transport flying ship, which didn't take off but directly vanished from the "Skylight" liaison point on the surface of Xiya Planet.
The final battleground between "Seed Nest" McKenny and the Combined Space Battleship lies between the Fifth Planet and the Sixth Planet, slightly closer to the Sixth Planet, surrounded by relatively empty space. When the small transport flying ship, along with its passengers, was entirely teleported here by an S-Class Space Ability User, one could almost see within a range of 2 light-seconds, scattered with the remnants of flesh and countless space biological combat weapons. Even the nearest surface of the Sixth Planet was shockingly riddled with devastated markings.
A wave of spiritual power was transmitted, and Chen Fei and the others seemed to hear a voice.
"I am going to die! Death will be irreversible!"
Even though it was processed by the subconscious mind, McKenny's "voice" seemed low and weary, yet calm as death approached.
Anyone who has lived for such a long time will become calm in their attitude toward death. From beginning to end, everything escapes this process; rather than fear it, one might as well face it calmly.
"I thought it would take longer!"
Through the porthole, Chen Fei gazed at the star beast, half of which had already been severely damaged, with fluids and chunks of flesh intermittently spewing from its form, organs and flesh continuously breaking apart.
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, the massive fragmented flesh, if carefully discerned, might vaguely assemble into the silhouette of a space biological battleship. It's unknown what trump card "Seed Nest" McKenny used to tear such a colossal entity into pieces, but even a biological space battleship, in this state, is as dead as it gets.
"I've considered it; it need not be too long because you cannot wait, and the Blue Star Civilization cannot wait either."
The pupil of the giant beast embodied by "Seed Nest" McKenny was completely devoid of luster, and the spiritual power fluctuation came from the last remaining active brain tissue.
Just like humans, a stopped heartbeat and damaged internal organs do not signify death; only the disappearance of brainwaves marks the complete cessation of consciousness.
"Do you need help with healing? I think I can manage it now."
Chen Fei didn't respond with spiritual power waves. Of course, he didn't know that skill, but the spiritual power waves synchronized with speech could still be perceived by the other party, equivalent to communicating with spiritual power.
After the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space's "Life Tree" gained a large amount of "nutrients," it was sufficient to support Chen Fei in performing some significant deeds, like restoring McKenny's massive body, much like the healing fruit, replenishing the missing parts, equivalent to a full revival on the spot.
"No need, I want to begin and end this completely. As nourishment for that seed, it should have already sprouted, right? I can feel it; you did very well, exceptionally well!"
The incoming spiritual power waves weakened a bit again, showing that, as McKenny said, his death had become irreversible.
"It not only sprouted but grew into a towering tree, very large, and became the core of the 'Boundary Pearl.'
The 'Boundary Pearl' was refined with McKenny's help, and so was the 'Life Tree' given by him. Chen Fei had no reason to hide things from McKenny because, although he was also from 'Sagali,' he was different from the current parasitic species.
"I really wish I could see it... farewell!"
McKenny's spiritual power waves completely subsided.
Inside the small transport airship, Chen Fei and the others looked at each other, stunned, as the other party left without leaving any more instructions, not even explaining how to deal with the combined space battleship.
"Alright then! Let's start collecting the body!"
Chen Fei quickly broke the silence in the airship cabin, just as he was about to give instructions to Heseman Brown, when Mr. Randon grabbed his wrist, first shaking his head, then pointing to the back of his hand.
Chen Fei was initially taken aback, then quickly caught on.
The old ginger is spicier, and a big figure indeed knows the ways of the Jianghu, hinting to Chen Fei to first use "Spatial Branding" to collect those flesh and blood remains before 'feeding' them to the 'Life Tree.'
While one should not intend to harm others, one must guard against harm. Although this added an extra step and wasted some time, going through the "Spatial Branding" step for deactivation ensured absolute safety.
If the "Seed Nest" McKenny harbored any other intentions and Chen Fei was unprepared, it could be like inviting a wolf into the house.
Even though the "Life Tree" possessed a domain, it ultimately came from McKenny's hand; no one knows if there's a backdoor or hidden danger.
Chen Fei nodded at Louis Randon, confirming his understanding, before the latter released his hand.
"Mr. Brown, take us over; I want to collect those flesh and blood remnants."
"Copy that, starting with the larger pieces. Do you want to exit the cabin?" Heseman Brown made an OK gesture, initiated the spatial ability, and the entire small transport airship appeared in the center of the drifting remnants, where larger masses of flesh began attracting nearby smaller fragments. After all, these remnants, measured in metric tons, naturally generate gravity when the mass reaches a certain threshold; the larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull.
Chen Fei exited the airlock, secured by two safety ropes, and approached a vast flesh tissue eclipsing the sun under the star's light, extending his hand. The silver glow of "Spatial Branding" even shone through the hand armor of the single soldier tactical armor. This silver light wasn't merely visible light but a special rule of the spatial series.
In the next second, a flesh tissue several thousand times larger than the small transport airship vanished, leaving only an empty void, while smaller biological tissues that drifted nearby quivered slightly and began to drift in other directions.
With the retraction of the safety ropes, Chen Fei returned to the hull of the small transport airship. Without re-entering the airlock, he vanished along with the airship, only to reappear beside another gigantic biological tissue, continuing to collect flesh and blood using the same method into the "Spatial Branding."
It was because they were reduced to pieces of lifeless flesh that the 'Spatial Branding' could smoothly collect them. If any hint of spiritual power waves remained, indicating life, they could not be collected.
