CHAPTER 654: CHAPTER 280: THE INSECT SWARM OF THE STARRY SKY IN ACTION (6K)

The Starry Sky, outside a certain Magic Palace

[Telekinetic Fist] gazed from inside the spaceship at this Magic Palace not much smaller than his Grey Star City, like his Star City, it also floats among the Starry Sky.

It symbolically orbits around a nearby star to maintain its orbit.

As for rotation, that, of course, is adjusted to allow for day and night according to the volition of the Magic Palace’s master.

From afar, this palace looks like a continent ripped off a planet, with a towering palace at the center and a city surrounding it.

And indeed, that is true; you can see it from a planet which happens to rotate nearby, a massive crater, even on a Starry Sky scale, like an indelible scar on the desolate surface.

Usually, a planet’s rotation would naturally smooth over such scars, but after hundreds of years, this crater still remains.

There’s a reason why he’s so familiar with all this.

Because he was the one who did it.

Back when he had just ascended to the 8th Rank and had not long built his Star City, he was strapped for cash, so he took on a commission from the master of this palace.

With terrifying telekinesis, he tore the earth apart, ripped this continent off, and flung it into a predetermined orbit, then collaborated to construct the initial form of this palace.

Even though both had just recently been promoted to the 8th Rank, as a legitimate Mage, the palace’s master had far more wealth than he did.

Moreover, this palace looks much smaller than his Star City, occupying just a small part of the continent.

But whether in terms of cost or combat power, it far surpasses his Star City.

With piles of rare materials and layers upon layers of enchantments, this palace acts as a Mage Tower and is the master’s most powerful weapon.

With the support of this palace, even he didn’t have the confidence to defeat the other.

However, today he wasn’t here to pick a fight!

Thinking about how today, the poverty they’d been dealing with in Star City would finally come to an end, Telekinetic Fist’s breath grew heavy.

Information about the palace’s master floated in his mind — the Magician known as [Fierce Sun], who specializes in various attack spells. Because of past offenses against a Pharmacist, [Fierce Sun] had been unable to obtain potions.

As comrades in distress, when it came to alliances, he immediately thought of this wealthy and powerful fellow.

"Never thought that my Grey Star City would see the day to completely change its fate!"

"And this is just the beginning of everything!"

As it’s the first transaction, he could not allow any accidents, even bringing [Mechanical Fist] for this reason.

Had Xike and Rasi not still been away, he might have brought them along too!

The spaceship piloted by Mechanical Fist slowly approached the continent’s Star Port, docked, and, stepping off, they passed through a special channel to quickly enter the continent’s interior.

Unlike the thin outer continent, the city inside was no different from other planets.

Maintained by a large Magic Shield for normal atmosphere, with gravity sustained by specialized arrays.

The visit of a Seventh Rank and an 8th Rank immediately stirred a lot of whispering, with speculation about what might have happened.

Some guessed the two 8th Ranks were about to fight again; others suspected they were plotting something. Mechanical Fist heard it all clearly but remained unmoved.

This was something he had already anticipated when he decided to come here. Speculation was inevitable, and as long as no one knew his true purpose, they could say what they wanted.

After all, his status and power spoke for themselves, as he walked straight into the palace, [Telekinetic Fist] soon saw the person he was searching for.

"Telekinetic Fist? Why have you come to me? Short of money again?"

"And why did you bring your student? Where’s your Rasi?"

[Fierce Sun] had the standard build of a Starry Sky person, but he wasn’t a pureblood; his ears slightly pointed with a tuft of golden hair matching the color of his hair.

This was a characteristic of a race called the Yuanri Elf, known for decent Magic Talent, and [Fierce Sun] was the strongest among them.

At the moment, he was dressed in a crimson robe, which couldn’t hide the dirty lab coat underneath, clearly just having left an experiment, looking nothing like an 8th Rank.

"Rasi is my student!"

"And what do you mean by ’my Rasi,’ it’s ’your diarrhea,’ and your whole family has diarrhea!"

"And who says I’m short of money again! This time I’m not here to ask for money, I’m here to introduce you to a big deal!"

[Telekinetic Fist] retorted spiritedly, though he used to come around here for a meal, today was not like yesterday; today, he was fearless!

Well, of course, repaying money was out of the question!

[Fierce Sun] understood [Telekinetic Fist]’s nature, not asking to "borrow" money was good enough.

"Hmph, what big deal could you possibly have?"

[Fierce Sun] said, seemingly indifferent, but still channeled magic power to apply a spell on both of them, compressing his giant-like form.

Pulling out a set of metal tables and chairs from the wall, he sat down, looking as if ready to watch the show.

To this, [Telekinetic Fist] only mysteriously took a seat with Mechanical Fist before drawing out a box from his space equipment, opening one side to reveal the interior and rotating it in front of [Fierce Sun].

Initially, [Fierce Sun] didn’t care much, thinking [Telekinetic Fist] was making a big deal out of nothing.

What could possibly be worth protecting to this extent?

But as soon as he saw the contents of the box, he couldn’t look away.
