Chapter 525: Time Bomb |
Su Chen's lips curled slightly, then quickly disappeared, as if his previous smile had never appeared.
Taru didn't notice Su Chen's change in expression. His mind was entirely focused on the Ghost Clan. He had always believed that the Ghost Clan should have prospered on Yan Yun Star.
But Su Chen told him that the Ghost Clan had been driven underground by a group of humans long ago, and only emerged from the Underworld after many years, intending to reclaim Yan Yun Star.
Even without a physical body, only his consciousness remaining, Taru still cared about the situation of the Ghost Clan.
"Let's make a deal," Taru said seriously, looking at Su Chen. "I don't expect you to help the Ghost Clan, but I hope you can provide them with a place to live."
Taru sensed something from Su Chen. As long as this man was present, the Ghost Clan had no hope at all. Even Taru, the ancestor of the Ghost Clan, couldn't match him. So, what could the other Ghost Clan members do?
Taru was undoubtedly a very pragmatic member of the Ghost Clan. Other Ghost Clan members might have chosen death in his place.
Su Chen suddenly realized that this Ghost Clan probably knew something important, which was why he didn't use a psychic attack to eliminate him.
Imagine bringing the ancestor of the Ghost Clan in front of the Ghost Clan members. That scene would be quite interesting.
"I can swear on this matter; it's real! That monster wasn't discovered by me; it was found by people from the Qiluo Civilization. They once assembled a powerful force to deal with the monster, but they all failed."
Su Chen's expression grew somewhat serious. If even the Qiluo Civilization's power couldn't deal with it, what would he do if he encountered it?
"What level of strength does that monster possess?"
"Based on the information left by the people of the Qiluo Civilization, I believe that monster should have the power of a Grand Galaxy."
Su Chen didn't expect the monster to have such formidable strength. Once it appeared, no one on Yan Yun Star would be its match.
"But back then, the Qiluo Civilization inflicted irreparable damage on it, and its strength dropped to the level of a Small Galaxy. The problem is, over such a long time, I don't know if it has recovered."
The monster was a significant threat, a time bomb that could go off at any moment.
If Su Chen had the strength, he would definitely be the first to eliminate this monster. Its existence was just too dangerous.
"As long as you don't bring trouble upon yourself, the Ghost Clan will naturally have a place," Su Chen made his promise.
Of course, Su Chen couldn't fully trust Taru's words unless he truly became one of his own.
Seeing Su Chen withdraw his psychic power from the iron sphere, Taru breathed a sigh of relief. Su Chen had put immense pressure on him earlier, and he hadn't expected that a seemingly ordinary human could exude such a commanding presence.
Afterward, Taru cooperated fully and disclosed everything about this place. Yun Ru could now control everything here using the equipment.
Although the people of the Qiluo Civilization had left, everything here remained intact, with all functions operational.
The happiest person about acquiring a research facility left by the Qiluo Civilization was Yun Ru. Su Chen had a Yuri Clones accompanied by a Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV) brought to this place. They were preparing to construct a base here so that if Taru caused any trouble, an unending stream of soldiers could directly enter without using the external tunnels.
As for the situation in this city, no one outside of it knew about the mining facility. Apart from the missing Qiao Tie, only one other person was aware of the anomaly in the tunnel. Su Chen had Yuri Clones take control of this person, so there was no longer any need to worry about the tunnel being exposed.
Once the mining facility was stabilized, Lily once again boarded the warship and headed to the next satellite. Her task was to continuously open up new mining facilities to provide a large amount of energy to the Red Alert Base. A single mining facility couldn't meet Su Chen's needs.
Back at the first base, the iron sphere by Su Chen's side exclaimed, "I can't believe how you've built this base. It looks like the weapons and buildings are ancient, but the actual power surprised me. I've seen some descriptions in the Qiluo Civilization's research materials, but I think even if the Qiluo Civilization were at the same level as you, they couldn't match your base."
Taru exclaimed emotionally.
Su Chen smiled mysteriously. No one, including his subordinates, knew about the existence of the System.
"Taru, if you're willing to become my subordinate, I can remove the psychic shield at any time. If you're not willing, I won't force you, but your various aspects will still be restricted," Su Chen said openly.
The iron sphere fell silent, seemingly lost in deep thought.
He knew that if he removed the psychic shield, it would mean that he was completely defenseless against Su Chen. Su Chen could then control him with his psychic power, and he would lose any ability to resist.
Taru didn't know that after learning about his past, the first thing Su Chen thought was, "Yun Ru's deputy has been found!" (To be continued)
