"Let go of Thea!" Astrum is ready to attack Zax.
"Hahaha, if you guys take a step forward I will slit his throat!"
Sidius, Stella, and Astrum immediately stopped.
"Seeing all of you here, I guess you guys have beaten my army," Zax said in a cold tone, no concern at all for his troops.
"Yes! Whatever it was I finally got my goal!" Zax walked over to the pillar of light.
"Stop it! You don't know what's sealed in there!" Thiberry shouted at Zax.
"Ha haha! You think I'm stupid! I already know that there is a sealed Star Eater here!"
Zax finds out about the sealed star eater thanks to the glyphs in the Hallway. He couldn't break up all the glyphs, but he had a rough idea that there was a Star Eater sealed in the planet's core.
"If you already know there is a sealed Star Eater there, you better not be careless!"
"Ha haha! Actually, my plan was to use both of them! But it doesn't matter, because I already have a replacement." Zax meant that Sidius and Stella were previously trapped.
"What would you do!" Astrum shouted at Zax.
"Hehehe, I will give it as bait for Star Eater."
"What! You're crazy!"
"Hahaha, don't you know? That star eater can be tamed with good bait!" Zax moved closer and closer towards the pillar of light.
"Stupid! You don't know, it's not just a star eater! It is Korth!" Thiberry cursed.
"Korth! What's that! Korth is just a legend, for 1000 years it hasn't appeared at all." Zax ignored Thiberry's warning.
"Stop it! I'll give you a more worthy replacement!" Stella suddenly took out a purple star source.
"This star source has a higher level than Thea, let Thea go and it will be yours."
Zax narrowed his eyes, he used his power of perception and realized that Stella's words were true.
"Where did you get that!" Zax didn't immediately agree to Stella's request.
"You do not need to know! You can't tame that Star Eater with just a level like Thea!"
Zax thought hard, he realized the truth of Stella's words. He realized that to tame a Star Eater requires a quality star source. Currently, Thea's level was still low, so she assumed that the purple star source Stella held was of higher quality than Thea's.
Actually, if he could choose, he would choose Stella or Sidius as bait. But the condition is not possible. Right now he was surrounded and there was no way Stella or Sidius would agree to his request.
"Okay! Throw that Star source first!"
"Not! We will release them at the same time!" Stella is very firm and doesn't easily accept Zax's request.
From behind, Sidius sent a transmission to the entire army "After getting Thea, we have to get off this planet!"
"Okay! We will switch on the count of 3!" Zax finally decided to let Thea go.
3 – 2 – 1
Zax threw Thea to a location far from Stella. Stella realized what Zax meant, she also threw the Star Source far away from Zax.
Astrum immediately shot to catch Thea, and Zax shot to catch the Star source.
Zax didn't stop after capturing the Star Source, he knew that his current situation was more dangerous because he had no prisoners. He immediately shot towards the pillar of light.
"Thea, are you okay?" Astrum asked very worriedly.
"Astrum, pardon my carelessness."
Astrum just smiled and brought Thea back to her squad. The moment he gathered, there was a change in the room. Right now, Zax was exactly 5 meters from the pillar of light.
The patterns on the circular floor shone and suddenly the floor moved upwards. They were all lifted along with the floor.
The glyphs on the walls of the room also shone, the light moving rapidly up to the ceiling. The ceiling of the room turned into a large hole. Buildings were collapsing from the hole, but the ruins were restrained by the barrier energy.
The floor continued to rise and finally came out to the surface. They looked around and realized that it was right in the green city. The circular floor stopped moving, everyone returned to their alert positions.
Zax was very close to the pillar of light, with his hand holding the purple star source, he walked closer to the pillar of light. Sidus and Stella couldn't stop Zax, because Zax had gotten too close to the pillar of light. Sidius gave the signal, troops were ready to come out of the ground floor.
"Stop it! What are you doing!" Suddenly there was a booming sound.
Everyone who was there immediately stopped. Zax also stopped moving. From the sky fell three objects shaped like eight-sided stars. The three objects landed not far from them, and then a door opened.
It was a spaceship with a very strange shape. From the open door, came the figure of a woman in a purple robe.
"Arith!" Stella realized that the figure that came out of the spaceship was Arith.
Arith walked leisurely and was followed by the purple starian army. Zax saw Arith approaching and immediately ran towards the pillar. But before he managed to lift his legs, there was great pressure holding him back.
Arith released such great pressure that it made everyone who was there instantly kneel. Even Stella and Sidius were immediately brought to their knees by the pressure.
"Damn it! If only our levels didn't drop like this!" Sidius said.
"Stella! I finally found you! I'll take care of you guys after taking care of this bastard!"
Arith walked up to Zax, he saw a pillar of light but ignored it.
"Zax! What are you doing! Where did you get that star source from!"
Zax didn't say anything, he just pointed at Stella.
Arith saw Stella and said "Stella! Where did you get this star source from!"
"Hah! It was from your trick!" Stella replied in a cold tone.
Arith ignored Stella, he approached Zax and took the star source from his hand.
"Folux!" Arith immediately realized there was Folux energy from the star source.
"Folux?" Zax was even more surprised after hearing Arith.
Zax slowly realized that Folux was not a simple subordinate. Folux can produce soul leeches which are Purple Starian technology. Previously, Folux confessed that he stole this technology from Purple Starian, but now Zax knows that it was all lies.
Folux is a subordinate given by Mergen, meaning that Folux is Mergen's subordinate who was sent to supervise him.
"HA HAHA! That bastard Mergen! Apparently, he never trusted me!" Zax laughed at his stupidity.
-PLAK!- A hard slap in the face.
"You are not worthy of mentioning Lord Mergen's name!" Arith said cold face.
Then she turned to Stella and said: "Stella, you killed Folux?"
Stella didn't answer, she just looked at Arith with a sneer.
"Ha! Forget it! Folux's sacrifice got me to you. After 500 years of searching for you everywhere, finally found you!"
"Arith you traitor!" Stella was furious when she recalled the events of 500 years ago.
"Ha! Traitor? You are stupid! From the start of your mission you were part of Lord Mergen's plan, I have never betrayed. I do my job according to my mission. Unfortunately, I was caught off guard at the time so you were able to escape."
"What is your plan!"
"You do not need to know!"
Then Arith noticed the presence of Green Starian, he looked at them with a smile
"Hahaha, today was amazing. Not only did I get Stella and Sidius, but now I also got all of you."
Astrum thought hard about how to get out of this situation. Right now, Arith was still releasing his pressure so he couldn't move.
"Troops, capture them all!" When Arith gave the order, she loosened her pressure.
Astrum immediately rushed to hug Thea and was about to leave the place. Arith just smiled seeing Astrum about to run, he didn't use his pressure but he moved towards Astrum.
His movement was very fast, in an instant, he was blocking Astrum and Thea.
"Boys! You're really brave."
Astrum said nothing, he moved Thea behind him.
Suddenly the floor shook violently. After gaining freedom from Arith's pressure, he took the opportunity to push one of the purple starians towards the pillar of light.
"HAHAHA! It's better than I thought!" Zax shouted in satisfaction.
The Purple Starian who had entered the pillar of light was trapped and unable to move.
"ZAX! What are you doing!" Arith shouted angrily.
"HAHA HA! It's time to repay all of you! I am no longer the errand boy of the arrogant race like you guys. Today I will stand above all of you!"
The purple starian's body that was trapped in the pillar of light began to tear apart, purple energy began to radiate from his body. In no time, his body was devoured by the pillar of light. After his body decomposed, his star source appeared.
The purple energy and star source were sucked in by the orbs within the pillar of light. The pillar of light disappeared, leaving behind orbs that floated and shone with purple light.
"Damn it! We have to get out of here immediately!" Sidius gave orders for his troops to leave.
But their movement stopped because Arith had released the pressure again.
"What happened!" Arith asked.
"Arith! Now is not the time for this! Within those Orbs is the Korth is sealed, and now the seal is about to break!" Sidius replied angrily.
"What!" Arith was surprised before she didn't get any information about the sealed Korth. She looked at the orbs and sensed an enormous danger.
Shee realized that Korth would get stronger by absorbing the star source, just now the orbs had absorbed one of his troops who were a High-Rank Starian. The level of his subordinates that had just been devoured by those orbs was level 65, it was more than enough to wake Korth up.
The floating orbs began to vibrate violently. Gradually the carvings on the orbs glowed. And instantly the orbs shattered into an enormous light. The light continued to grow rapidly to a radius of 1 kilometer.
Then the light turned black, creating a black dome with a radius of 1 kilometer. They are all trapped in the black dome.
