"No, this can't go on!"

Staring as the spaceship neared the Star Gate, Antoine, the temporary captain of the ship, gritted his teeth and decided to sabotage the spaceship directly.

As a Death Soldier lured into a trap for Bai Fu, his power wasn't considered strong, only at the peak of A-Level.

Therefore, sabotaging the spaceship was actually somewhat challenging for him.

But luckily, he was inside the spaceship and with a bit more time, he could still manage to smash the operating system and power system.

"Go to the weapon depot and get..."

Antoine's words were cut off mid-sentence when the small door to the side of the cockpit suddenly opened, and behind it stood a row of rescue robots.

These robots were supposed to be sleeping in the storage, why were they... damn it!

Antoine realized the danger, but it was already too late.

The spaceship must not be destroyed by the thug Antoine!

Following this principle, the rescue robots drew their weapons one after another.

Biubiubiu!

A series of shots and explosions later, the cockpit was shattered, and Antoine lay equally shattered on the ground.

"It's over."

This was Antoine's last thought before his consciousness faded.

The enemy had gone through so much trouble for this, clearly with a significant purpose, but now he was powerless to ponder these matters.

After the dust settled, the rescue robots flooded into the cockpit in an orderly fashion, standing in a neat formation, their gaze fixed straight ahead, as if they were being inspected by their new master, Bai Fu.

Not bad at all.

The Virtual Heart created by this Dominator Level Mechanic was indeed formidable.

Bai Fu tapped the heel of her high-heeled shoe.

Tap tap tap tap...

One after another.

To the Leader's confidant, who was in constant communication with her, this sound was like a heavy hammer striking the heart, suffocating and breathless.

Damn it!

It's all ruined!

Why did this task... turn out this way?

Time slipped by, second by second.

Soon after, the spaceship in front arrived at the Star Gate near Bovalia Star, and the pursuing fleet quickly caught up, maintaining a distance that was neither too close to catch up nor too far to lose sight of.

"You guys keep watch here, I'll go contact Nellis and see if there's any reaction from Lister."

After dropping this line, Bai Fu returned to her room.

She made a show of communicating with Nellis, then opened the game map; the red dot representing the Dark Moon Eye, after moving continuously for several days, had finally stopped.

"Have we reached the Ten Saints Association's foothold?"

Bai Fu maxed out the effect of the Dark Moon Eye.

Gradually, she heard footsteps and loud laughter approaching.

"Frank, hasn't it been six years since we last met? Haha, welcome, welcome, the Saint has been waiting for you, come with me."

Saint?

Bai Fu opened the task panel, and sure enough, the hidden main task "Return of the Exile" branch 2 was ready to be submitted.

She decisively destroyed the Dark Moon Eye to avoid detection and someone tracing it back to her.

Submit the task.

Bai Fu reached out and tapped.

[You have completed the hidden main task "Return of the Exile" branch 2 and received the reward: Evolution Key.]

Looking at the milky light orb that appeared in her palm, shaped like a key, Bai Fu's eyes lit up with delight.

"Let's have a look!"

An item description popped up.

[Evolution Key]: The key to opening the gates of life's evolution. It allows you to specify the direction for your next evolution.

"Holy shit!"

Bai Fu was shocked after reading the item description.

As a Superpower User grows in power, they will experience several life evolutions. Although these evolutions seem controllable, they're actually a choice amongst a few limited race options; nobody knows what they will become until the evolution is complete.

This could lead to an outcome that's not what the Superpower User really hoped for.

Take Bai Fu herself as an example: during evolution, she'll trigger attribute corrections. As a Magic Tank, she definitely hoped to get more Constitution and Inspiration, but in reality, it's hard to say about Constitution, though Inspiration might get a little boost.

But now with the Evolution Key, this problem was no longer an issue!

The Evolution Key not only sets the direction for attribute correction but also the direction of Skills, Talents, Resistance, and other aspects of evolution. It was simply divine.

"This is truly a reward worthy of a hidden main task!"

Bai Fu quickly looked at the specifics of the newly triggered next segment of the task.

The new task "The Saint's Lament" was very straightforward: destroy the foothold and give the returning Ten Saints Association a blow to their pride.

The task reward was unclear, it would depend on the Contribution level.

Considering the value of the reward from the last segment of the task, the reward for this new task would undoubtedly be substantial, but...

Bai Fu shook her head.

That certain Saint was said to have reached Super Supreme power, an opponent she simply couldn't handle. When the time came, it would be better to honestly hand over the information to the Three Major Cosmic Civilizations. To get a small share in this hidden main line was enough for her; the main line of the Tem Civilization was her true stage to shine.

Bai Fu stored the Evolution Key away and continued to observe the movements of the Glorious Army's spaceship.

...

A day and a half later.

Bovalia, the temporary gathering place of the Ten Saints Association.

A group of idle people gathered to chat.
