However, if there was no Earthly Martial Saint to cooperate, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the Little Fortunate Star talent—a purple talent—was advanced enough! Preserving life plus delivering a top-tier weapon, the effect was dominating enough! That's why the Little Fortunate Star talent was the only choice that Sarn decided to keep!
"It's just a pity that it's going to be hard to roll the Earthly Martial Saint talent again."
"But now that I have the Earthly Martial Saint, coupled with peak Quasi-Legendary strength and the Fighting Technique Solution, it's really hard to say that I won't go out and make a break for it!"
"Research? Dogs don't even do that!"
Sarn opened the door in excitement and prepared to go out. But as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by two anxious-faced Blue Clan Ultramen—Hikari and Torekia!
Hikari, the plug-in maker, and Torekia, who would later betray the Kingdom of Light because of his confusion! These two were the most outstanding researchers in the Blue Race at the moment!
"Sarn? Why are you the only one here? Whatever, you're coming with us!"
Seeing that Sarn was the only one in the lab, Hikari immediately became a bit frustrated and disappointed. However, he still pulled on Sarn and ran towards the outside. Torekia haphazardly hugged a large pile of instruments and similarly followed Hikari closely.
Sarn: "????"
Chapter 6: Higher Dimensional Predator, Bogaju!
"Hey, hey, hey, Hikari-san, Torekia, what the hell is going on here?"
Sarn was pulled out of the lab by Hikari. Seeing Hikari posing as if she was going to fly, Sarn hurriedly seized the time to ask a question. He didn't want to be dragged away without knowing what was going on.
"There's no time to explain, it's serious! Talk on the way!"
Hikari anxiously took off straight away and flew towards the Land of Light.
"Sarn, you help me share a bit."
Torekia brainstormed and shoved half of the pile of experimental equipment in his hand to Sarn.
"Torekia, what's going on? Why are you and Hikari in such a hurry?"
Sarn couldn't help but ask. He and Torekia were also friends. Torekia was a troubled youth. He and Taro were good friends who grew up together. But after Torekia's strength couldn't keep up as Taro got stronger and stronger, Torekia's mindset gradually changed. He wanted to fight side by side with Taro, instead of staying at the back and silently supporting him.
At this time, Torekia was still normal—although withdrawn and paranoid, he could still be corrected. However, Father of Ultra, Taro, and Tiga's descendants were all big straight men. Taro couldn't understand what was going on in Torekia's mind. A sentence, "I will protect you," directly turned good intentions into bad actions, further stimulating Torekia.
Originally, the one who guided Torekia was Hikari, but later Hikari became blackened due to the destruction of Planet Arbor. This was the final straw that broke Torekia's back. Then, Torekia and Taro spent less and less time together. Torekia became more and more withdrawn and paranoid.
Torekia, as his name suggests, was "insanely curious." He began to study the light of the Ultramarines and the evil of the Evil Cosmonauts in a frenzy and began to doubt the justice of the Ultramarines. And then, Torekia left the Land of Light. Eventually, Torekia traveled to the cosmic ruins of Borges and sealed the great evil god Grimdor, who had terrorized the multiverse, inside him.
The rest is history.
Sarn had been paying attention to Torekia, a troubled teenager, intentionally or not, since he arrived. He helped to enlighten Torekia a bit when Taro and Hikari weren't around, instilling some optimistic thoughts in Torekia. This also made the originally withdrawn Torekia, who was silent except when facing Taro and Hikari, much more cheerful. Although still a problematic teenager, he no longer dwelled on questions of good and evil or the truth.
"Something happened to Planet Arbor. Chief Hikari and I were originally out on an expedition together, but Chief Hikari suddenly said he felt Planet Arbor was in pain."
"That's why we rushed back to the Land of Light, ready to bring the Blue Clan scientists to help Planet Arbor, but you were the only one in the lab…"
Torekia briefly explained the situation to Sarn.
"Hurry up, Sarn! Chief Hikari is an elite-level Ultramarine warrior. The two of us only have intermediate strength—it would be bad if we couldn't keep up with Chief Hikari."
Torekia urged. Just talking about strength made him a bit despondent. The weakness of his strength was always Torekia's biggest knot in his heart. His strength wasn't enough to fight side by side with Taro—it was good enough not to be a burden to him.
"Something happened to Planet Arbor!?"
Sarn was stunned. What was the thing that happened to Planet Arbor? It was that the energy and lifeforms on Planet Arbor's entire planet had been devoured by the Higher Dimensional Predator, Bogaju! The hatred of the life on Planet Arbor attached itself to Hikari, who had arrived too late, causing Hikari to wear the armor of vengeance formed by that hatred! Guilt-ridden Hikari took it all on her back. From then on, Hikari changed his name to Hunter Knight Sword and wandered the universe in pursuit of Bogaju! Torekia was also disheartened by the situation.
"Something actually happened to Planet Arbor? No, this is a bit of a problem. Torekia, hold on to me!"
Sarn had a good relationship with Hikari on a regular basis due to the number of interesting stories he knew from his past life. Hikari wasn't thin on him either. Now that the Planet Arbor incident—which led to the blackening of Hikari and Torekia—had appeared, he naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing!
After instructing Torekia to hold on tight, Sarn's Quasi-Legendary Peak Level firepower opened up, and he rushed straight into the universe! Torekia was still confused about what to hold on to, and the next moment, he was pulled by Sarn and flew towards the universe at breakneck speed! Those instruments were even thrown all over the place.
The problem with Planet Arbor was very simple—so simple that there was only one reason. That was Bogaju's greedy devouring!
Planet Arbor
"LINGLING!!!"
A light yet indistinct wailing and crunching sound rose and fell across the planet! It was a being that looked like a particle of light and a firefly! These were the beings on Planet Arbor, which Hikari had called the Star of Miracles! They were also friends that Hikari valued greatly!
At this moment, these firefly-like beings were floating in midair in fear. While making panicked "lingling" sounds, they scattered in all directions! It seemed as if they were fleeing from something.
"Freshwing anon!!!"
A shrill and mournful clamor resounded! A bizarre existence with a blackish body and fluffy, fleshy bone wings on its back—unable to tell if it was a cosmic human or a monster—was forcing these little guys step by step! Its fleshy wings were slightly open, as if a flytrap was hunting fireflies.
