Colonial Suit

Fresh blood… flowed beneath Sylvina's high heels. She silently gazed at the dead old woman.

This powerhouse, once at the pinnacle of the Star Pirates, was now just a corpse, no different from countless others who had died. Her shriveled skin revealed tendons and bones that were partially crushed, a truly nauseating sight.

As a member of the Star Pirates, Sylvina was no stranger to the old woman. In the past, she could only look up to her. She had never imagined that one day the old woman would die, and at her feet.

"How… unsightly…" Sylvina murmured to herself, crouching down to look at the old woman's twisted face. Finally, she said to Heck, "It's just an avatar. Your decision seems a bit reckless. Aren't you afraid her main body will come after you?"

"Heh…" Heck laughed dismissively, replying, "This place is isolated from the universe. Even if she dies here, her main body won't know what happened. Besides, she brought out too much energy this time. It's questionable how much is left in her main body. What do we have to fear?"

"That's just your guess. These old monsters can't be judged by common sense. Don't forget, they are 'Kings,' while you and I are, at best, 'Generals'." Sylvina frowned, displeased with Heck's nonchalant attitude. She solemnly warned, "You better give me a good fallback plan, or if something really happens, I'll be in trouble. You'll be in trouble too."

"No problem. Don't worry," Heck replied, his smile unchanged, but a chilling glint flashed in his eyes. "I've already inquired. Both she and the old geezer brought substantial avatars this time, bringing most of their life force with them. The advantage is that their strength can be brought into full play, but the disadvantage is that it will affect the survival of the main body. Normal combat is fine, but in intense battles, the remaining life force won't be enough to maintain their power structure."

"In other words, even if she knows everything that happened here, whether she can survive is still unknown."

"The Stellar level is too high. Without sufficient life level support, they will be like an inverted pyramid, ready to collapse at any time. And we just pulled out the bottom brick of that pyramid."

Heck calmly explained as he leisurely walked onto the altar. He didn't look at the old woman's corpse but walked towards another figure.

That figure had fallen out of the spatial shadows along with the old woman, but had remained silent. In fact, he was unable to speak at this moment, lying limply on the ground, staring blankly at the sky. He was so weak that even Heck's senses couldn't detect a trace of energy within him. He felt like a living dead man.

He was none other than Lestero.

Already aged, he was now as shriveled as a matchstick, his skin clinging tightly to his bones, an unspeakably terrifying sight.

But Heck seemed oblivious to all of this, walking to his side and squatting down.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you a glorious end."

Heck reached out and brushed the dust off Lestero's body, as gently as a breeze. In everyone's eyes, he carefully straightened Lestero's tattered cloak, returning the fragments to their original positions. He smoothed and concealed Lestero's aged, shriveled skin with his fingers.

After tidying him up, he finally made Lestero look a little better before continuing, "I know you can hear me, and you want to keep us here. But unfortunately, we have something we must do. Speaking of which, it's also related to you. Do you know Blood瞳? The legacy seed you left behind… I am his uncle-master in reality. Well, it's an old saying, just understand the meaning. What we need to do now is help him obtain the inheritance here. And everyone who stands in his way… must die."

"In a sense, you are also blocking his path. But fortunately, we don't need to fight you."

Saying this, Heck's lips curved slightly, revealing a nice smile. He saw the surprise in Lestero's eyes.

"Surprised, aren't you? You didn't expect that this would be our purpose. But none of this matters to you anymore. As the guardian of Crodill, you have fulfilled your duty."

After saying this, Heck stood up and looked down at Lestero, "I regret that I can't give you a glorious end, but I have to do it. I'm sorry…"

Heck expressed his apology again, then raised a finger.

Light flickered on his fingertip, condensing a powerful force. But just as he was about to press down, Lestero suddenly struggled, managing to utter a difficult sound.

"Wait… a moment…"

"Oh?" Heck raised an eyebrow. "Do you have anything else to say? Or is it your last words? Please feel free to entrust them to me. I swear on the honor of a warrior that your words will be conveyed to the person you want. This is the only thing I can do."

"Last… words…?" Lestero's face twitched, revealing an expression that was hard to tell whether it was crying or laughing. "Crodill…'s warriors… don't need… last words…"

"Then what do you mean?" Heck's eyes flashed, asking strangely.

But his question was quickly answered. Lestero suddenly struggled, seemingly using all his strength to raise a hand, pointing to a certain direction outside the altar. Strangely, that direction had always been an ordinary cave wall, but as he raised his hand, the cave wall suddenly wriggled, revealing a narrow opening.

Lestero's hand fell weakly, his eyes closed tightly.

"I… don't know… whether I should trust you… but I think… it can't get… any worse… right…? If you… are helping… Blood瞳…"

"This passage… will send you to… his side…" Lestero's voice was getting lower and lower, almost inaudible at the end. But as soon as he finished speaking, his whole body trembled violently, and he suddenly opened his eyes, letting out a hoarse, yet beastly roar.

"King…"

"I'm sorry… I still failed… to escape this fate…"

The voice stopped abruptly. Lestero's head drooped softly, without any more sound.

Heck silently stared at the old man. After a long while, he squatted down and touched his neck with his hand.

"He's dead," Heck slowly stood up. "An admirable warrior. His will persisted to the end."

"I don't think a dead person has any will to speak of," Rainbow curled her lip dismissively, mocking. \u003cWind, but at this moment Heck became as cold as winter. In front of everyone, he said to Rainbow word by word, "This is a warrior's honor. You may not understand, but I hope you learn to respect it. I don't want to hear those words a second time."

"What's wrong… why so serious…" Rainbow was startled, but her voice became lower and lower, eventually inaudible.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Said ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ Book ⊥⊥ Bar ⊥⊥ First ⊥ Post!

If she dared to argue with Heck in normal times, but Heck's eyes scared her at this moment, and she didn't dare to say another word. Having known Heck for so long, it was the first time she had seen Heck's serious and solemn eyes. It was like… he was maintaining an indescribable belief.

"Too stubborn, men are strange creatures," Rainbow kicked her high heels in dissatisfaction, following behind Heck.

On the other side, Sylvina also walked down the altar, standing side by side with Heck.

Looking at the narrow passage not far away.

"Heck, are you sure you want to go in? This might be a trap," Sylvina frowned, seemingly trying to see through the darkness of the passage. "You should know that the guardian doesn't have much ability to stop us anymore. If he still wants to fulfill his mission, the best way is to let us walk into the trap ourselves. This passage gives me a strange feeling."

"What?" Sylvina was stunned. Heck's reaction was beyond her expectations.

But in her eyes, Heck didn't explain to her, but instead revealed a faint smile.

"Because, I trust him…" Saying this, he took the lead and walked into the passage.

Behind him, Sylvina's doubts deepened. "Trust him? Trust someone he's never met? What a joke?"

Sylvina muttered to herself, still following behind Heck. Soon, the group disappeared into the new passage…………………………………… At the same time, on the other side of the ruins, Blood瞳 had just walked out of the passage exit, arriving in a vast and magnificent cave.

It was said to be vast because the diameter of this cave actually reached more than ten kilometers. The entire range was surprisingly large. And it was said to be magnificent because in the center of this cave, there was a special, super-large altar, completely different from what he had seen before. The base alone reached several kilometers in diameter, and on top of it stood a super-large prism crystal, emitting a faint purple light under the illumination of the light-emitting cells.

There was no one in the cave, not even a purifier-like creature could be seen. There were also no signs of being out of control. This was the first time since Blood瞳 entered the ruins that he had seen an altar without wild cells, completely in normal operation. He couldn't help but stop.

"What's wrong?" Robbie's voice came from behind. Blood瞳 didn't turn around, his eyes silently scanning the altar.

"Fifth Altar."

"We've, arrived…"

"Is this the final guardian altar of the ruins?" Robbie looked up, observing the surroundings for a while. Then he shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn't seem to be much different. Besides the size, I can't find anything outstanding about it."

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly descended, forcing Robbie's remaining words back into his throat… With a thud, Robbie involuntarily knelt on one knee, instantly soaked in cold sweat.
