Colonial Suit

Before the old geezer could finish speaking, the space not far behind him twisted, and the old woman from the Star Pirates frowned as she walked out.

She also looked annoyed, complaining, "It's always like this. You never call me for good things, but you never miss things like this. Old geezer, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"What are you talking about?" The old geezer's face was thick as he said with a grin. "You're idle anyway, isn't it good to stretch your muscles?"

"Are you crazy? Is this what you call stretching your muscles?" The old woman glared at him. "Do you think I can't see it? This is the Mana Root Labyrinth! Who in the Third World can guarantee breaking through this imprisonment? If you could do that, you wouldn't need to call me out!"

"That's right, that's right." The old geezer nodded repeatedly, then winked. "But if you don't contribute, wouldn't your children be finished too? Enough nonsense, show us what you've got."

"You..." The old woman was immediately exasperated, but after a while, she just sighed.

"What else can I do? Right now, we're just projections, and it's good if we can exert half our strength. But this Mana Root Labyrinth..."

The old woman turned her head, looking at the endless green world and countless thick roots, a trace of fear appearing in her eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, that Green Rain must have summoned its main body. Using the main body as bait to lure the Mana Ancient Tree's roots to descend here. She won't survive this time either. A Stellar-level sacrificing their life to summon such an existence, do you or I have a chance of winning? Moreover, the current you and I are just projections..."

The old woman didn't continue, but her meaning was clear.

She didn't approve of the old geezer's decision.

But at this time, it was too late to say anything. The Star Pirates' mothership was actually following behind the Universe Mercenaries' mothership, and at this moment, it was also trapped in this boundless green world. If they couldn't break through the barrier of the Mana Root system, no one could survive.

So the old woman just muttered a few words and simply said to the old geezer.

"Let's both go all out and open a passage. We'll think about the mission after we rush out."

"Alright." The old geezer didn't waste any words. This wasn't the time to consider the passage to the relic. If they couldn't break out of this starfield, everyone would die.

And he, as the leader of the team, 'King', undoubtedly had to bear his responsibility.

Having made a decision, the two no longer wasted time and chose a direction to fly. At this moment, the entire area was filled with green, super-giant roots. Everywhere they looked was a boundless root 'jungle'. The direction they were heading was a super-giant root, with a diameter of several thousand kilometers, just like a planet. It was indescribably huge and terrifying. Compared to it, the two were even smaller than ants.

But the old geezer seemed not to see it. As soon as he approached the root, he extended a finger.

"We are born into this world, with seven desires, the first being hunger. Absorb all rivers, exist in intention, stand in the heart, nourish the body, benefit the action."

"Seven Sins of Desire, the first being, Gluttony!"

With a point of his finger! The starry sky changed color.

The ordinary-looking index finger seemed to contain infinite magic. As soon as it was pointed out, it changed the color of the entire world. All space and time seemed to freeze at this moment, becoming an absolutely static world. Then, endless gray seeped out from the old geezer's index finger, gradually stripping the color from the entire starry sky.

The scene was like an oil painting gradually losing its color under the erosion of time. However, the process was countless times faster. In just a moment, there was no color left in the tens of thousands of kilometers of starry sky.

And the first to bear the brunt was naturally the super-large root with a diameter of several thousand kilometers. With the loss of color, its vitality seemed to be stripped away as well. A deathly gray appeared on the root's surface, followed by countless cracks. The root actually exploded, turning into countless flying gravel.

In just a few seconds, its life energy was completely sucked dry, turning it from a plant into a stone. It was truly terrifying.

At the same time, a wisp of green floated out from its interior, silently merging into the old geezer's body, invigorating him and making his face ruddy.

This gluttony of the Seven Sins seemed to treat any object as food, absorbing the energy structure of the binary energy rules from it, turning it into nothingness! It was not only infinitely powerful, but also able to use the enemy's energy structure as nourishment to replenish itself, which was truly terrifying.

In the rear mothership, Blood瞳's pupils shrank, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

So strong!!

Strong beyond imagination!!

This finger of the old geezer had exceeded his understanding and cognition of the binary energy rules, almost reaching the realm of 'miracle'. Blood瞳 could hardly imagine what kind of powerful existence could deprive the enemy of life and turn it into their own with a single finger. This was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Even in legends and myths, such a scene was like a miracle.

But whether he believed it or not, the fact was so.

And what was even more terrifying was that with the collapse of the old geezer's finger, it wasn't just a single root that collapsed, but all the solid matter within a range of several thousand kilometers collapsed at the same time as it lost its color, gathering strands of energy onto the old geezer's body.

A wide passage immediately appeared in front of the mercenary mothership.

"Quick! Activate the power module!!" The captain reacted the fastest and immediately jumped up and shouted.

The brief power depletion caused a survival crisis for the entire mothership. All of this changed with the old geezer's finger. If he didn't seize the opportunity now, he wouldn't be worthy of being the captain. Although the time was short, he had already seen that only by rushing into the passage opened by the old geezer could they obtain a glimmer of life. Of course, he had to seize this fleeting opportunity.

It could be said that being able to work on this mothership was synonymous with being an elite of humanity. What's more, he was the captain. So in this instant, he decisively issued the order to restart the mothership.

But before his order could be executed, a terrifying scene occurred.

Countless plant roots reappeared in the passage that the old geezer had just broken open, sealing the passage like a spider web. The roots wriggled like swarming poisonous snakes, frantically pouncing towards the old geezer, instantly sealing off all of the old geezer's escape space.

The old geezer's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

These roots were not ordinary physical contacts. As a part of the Mana Ancient Tree, their projections had actually penetrated the third layer of anti-space. In other words, the entire space would be imprisoned by them. Any escape was impossible in front of them. This was also one of the frightening aspects of the Mana Ancient Tree. At this moment, he had just used 'Gluttony', which should have been a time of weakness. The Mana Ancient Tree's attack was perfectly timed.

If one didn't know the habits of the Mana Ancient Tree, one would definitely think that the Mana Ancient Tree had intelligence. But the old geezer knew that this was just the Mana Ancient Tree's predatory ability. As the most mysterious and greatest existence in the universe, the Mana Ancient Tree's actions exceeded the limits of human imagination. Even its predatory ability inadvertently conformed to the blind spots of most creatures in the universe, never producing the effect of attacking weaknesses.

However, this was only for ordinary creatures. It was far from enough for the old geezer.

Looking at the countless roots rushing towards him, the old geezer didn't move, just said in a low voice.

The latest novel is first published on Six 9 Books Bar!!

"Old woman, you don't really want to be a widow, do you?"

"Damn bastard, can't you change the way you say it? What relationship do I have with you?"

With an angry whisper, the old woman appeared beside the old geezer. With just a slight frown, she casually waved her hand. A super-giant black vortex was constructed out of thin air by her.

The vortex was huge and unparalleled, covering a space of tens of thousands of kilometers. It rotated slowly like a wheel. The countless Mana Ancient Tree roots that swarmed towards it were absorbed into it as soon as they approached and disappeared without a trace.

This was the old woman's famous ability "...Return to Origin Vortex"

This vortex was connected to a mysterious passage in the second layer of anti-space. It could absorb any attack and reflect it back to the enemy. It was one of the old woman's abilities that made people change color when they heard it. In the entire Third World, no more than five people could break her move. Even the legendary 'Emperor' had a headache from it.

But at this moment, both the old geezer and the old woman were just projections. The strength they could exert was less than half. This 'Return to Origin Vortex' only lasted for five seconds before disappearing. What appeared in front of the two was still the endless swarming roots.

"So annoying." The old woman frowned and cursed, about to use her ability again. But suddenly, she felt her hand tighten, grasped in the old geezer's palm.

"Old bastard, are you trying to get me killed?"

A blush immediately appeared on the old woman's face, and she gritted her teeth and cursed. But a rare hint of weakness appeared in her tone.

"Don't make trouble." The old geezer's eyes flashed slightly, and he said seriously.

"We've been tricked."

"Huh?" The old woman was slightly stunned, and then became furious.

"Old bastard, don't think you can get away with fooling around! You touched my hand, you have to take responsibility!! What, you want to eat and run away?"

"I don't have those thoughts." The old geezer was immediately dumbfounded. But in an instant, he became serious. He said to the old woman word by word.

"Don't you think something is wrong? Who exactly are we fighting?"

"You mean?" The old woman was not an ordinary person. She reacted in an instant, and her face changed.

"I mean..." The old geezer replied seriously, a captivating cold light flashing in his eyes.

"We...are not only facing Green Rain, but also the greatest creature in the universe. Perhaps our current actions are what Green Rain wants. So...we can't continue."

"Then what do you mean?" The old woman was slightly stunned, and then frowned.

"Rule Destruction." The old geezer bit his teeth slightly and replied decisively. "There's only one way!"

"Are you crazy? Green Rain doesn't want to live, and you don't want to either?" The old woman was immediately shocked.
