The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 364



However, this light screen could only withstand the attacks of the Celestial Ranker Partial. The black-robed man then stretched out his right hand and touched the right hand that the captain held out to channel the light screen.


'What?’


The captain narrowed his eyes, and his face behind the armor showed incomparable shock. The opponent's hand is a claw covered in scales.


Cracks!


Then, the black-robed man's scaly claws pierced through the light screen, grabbed the captain's hand, and broke his wrist.


“Aahh!” The captain's eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief.


'How could he destroy the Eight Keys Formation so easily?'


Ignoring the pain in his hand, the captain took out a light saber from his hand. With his left hand, he slashed the claws of the black-robed man. However, before he could cut it, another claw caught his light saber.


Immediately after, the black-robed man rushed forward and crashed into the captain. Even if the armor protected the captain and managed to absorb over 90% of his strength, he could still feel a sharp pain in his internal organs.


Before the captain could regain consciousness, he felt a sharp pain in his arm again. His entire right arm was torn off. When the captain saw the black-robed man focusing on his other arm, he bit the only Blood Burning Potion in his mouth and swallowed it.


The same goes for the other seven. They've been watching what's going on. These Sangruil Sinners were clearly prepared, so they could only buy time for Princess Astrid with their lives.


After swallowing the Blood Burning Potion, the energy of the eight palace guards skyrocketed at the same time. The captain also took this opportunity to escape from the black-robed man's control.


“Let's fight with our lives! The Emperor will avenge us!”


At the same time, the eight people exuded their maximum combat power and charged towards the Sangruil Sinners.


Madrigal suddenly felt his communication device vibrate on the small spaceship he was aboard with Princess Astrid. He quickly made an excuse to leave.


Then, he went to his room, closed the door, and answered the communication device. There were no pictures, but instead, he heard a deep voice.


"Where are you all? Where is Astrid?”


When Madrigal heard this voice, he immediately knelt on the floor and replied respectfully, “Your Majesty, we are heading to Boundless Planet. His Majesty Astrid is safe and sound.”


“The palace guards have been wiped out, and the Sangruil Sinners are heading your way. Immediately leave the ship and go to Planet Boundless via another route. Remember, you must bring Princess Astrid to the Boundless Planet safely. Reinforcements will be coming there soon" His Majesty said in an anxious tone.


'The palace guards have been finished off, and Sangruil Sinners is after us?'


If Sangruil Sinners chased them, it would be over. The palace guards were not the opponents of the Sangruil Sinners, let alone them.


Madrigal tried to calm down and replied, “Good, Your Majesty!”


Then, he closed the communication device before waking up trembling. After he re-composed himself, he opened the door of his room. A figure appeared in front of him.


“Y-Your Majesty!”


"Mrs Madrigal, come with me" Astrid said calmly.


Astrid walks to her room, sits on a chair, and asks, “Madrigal, you are hiding


something from me, right?”.


“Sorry, Your Majesty! Actually, when we first came out a year ago, I delivered the news back to


palace, and I have remained in contact with His Majesty the Emperor all this time. Your whereabouts are always known by His Majesty the Emperor.”


"I know that. If you don't know where I am, we'll be searched and brought back. I didn't ask about this. I wonder what you just talked about. Looks like you're talking to my dad.”


It seems like the princess already knew about Madrigal Madrigal who always sent news to her father. Therefore, now, there was no need to hide anymore.


Moreover, they needed the cooperation of the princess if they wanted to buy time and escape this disaster.


It was impossible to hide this from him again.


“Your Majesty, we are being watched.


Even though the people sent by the Emperor are already on their way, it will take some time for them to find us. All this time, we have to protect ourselves and not fall into the hands of the enemy.”


"Who's watching us?" astrid asked suspiciously.


He wondered if anyone would dare to attack him at the core of the Milky Way. Were they not afraid that their entire family would be exterminated?


“Para Sangruil Sinners!” madrigal said with a serious expression.


"The Sangruil Sinners?" mummified Astrid.


'This name sounds familiar. I may have seen it in the book.’


Gradually, Astrid remembered.


He had seen this name in the imperial history books. The book seemed to say that the empire and the Sangruil were the two most prominent groups in Bima


Sakti.


The two groups are on the same level, but they are constantly racing to defeat each other to become the only hegemon of the Milky Way. Later, war broke out between the two sides, and the winner was only decided after more than a thousand years.


Finally, it was clear that the Empire was winning.


"You mean Sangruil who was defeated by the empire after a thousand-year war?" ask Astrid.


"Frightly so."


"Didn't they disappear hundreds of years ago?"


“They're supposed to be hiding, because they're not


completely destroyed. This was the first time they had appeared after hundreds of years. I'm sure they want to arrest you for threatening His Majesty. If this happens, Your Majesty will be in a difficult situation.”


“They want to arrest me for threatening Dad?”


At this moment, Astrid started to feel panicked.


As the only Emperor Princess, she knew how much the Emperor loved her. He would not let Sangruil Sinners capture him even if he had to commit suicide to avoid this fate.


“What did Dad tell you? What did he ask us to do?”


“Then, don't waste time. We have to do what Dad says now" Astrid said as she stood up.


They had clearly come with preparations if they could defeat the palace guards. They had to do what the Emperor said as soon as possible.


To Astrid, her father was omnipotent. Therefore, they would be fine if they did exactly as he said. The three got off the ship and flew in the other direction.


Meanwhile, the spacecraft continues toward the Boundless Planet. Astrid and her gang's goal is still Planet Boundless. However, they were unable to leave by spaceship and had to take another route.


If the Sangruil Sinners caught up and saw that the ship was empty, their first thoughts would definitely chase them in another direction. Even if they are found, this at least gives them a chance to buy more time. They will be safe if they survive until help arrives.


Boundless Planet


As time goes on, the planet becomes more alive. All the masters in the Boundless Region rushed to the Boundless Planet after receiving Burke's invitation.


David was also affected by his liveliness, so he got out of his residence and started wandering on the Boundless Planet.


A few days ago, he could have stayed in his room to purchase information from the Meteor Chamber and earn luxury points. Now, he can't do it anymore.


It's better than nothing. Although he would only earn a dozen extravagant points after racking his brain all day.


It was just a drop of water for David. He was now at the Peak of the Celestial Rank. Therefore, if he wanted to go further and become a Partial Infinity Rank, he would need to increase his mind power from Cosmos level 10 to Celestial level 10.


But this would require 1,900 fancy points. Now, David only had over a hundred fancy points. The difference is too big. Therefore, he decided to give up and stop wasting time.


When the banquet at the Boundless Planet was over, he would go to the heart of the Milky Way with Mia. There, he would fully display his abilities. However, to David's dismay, the banquet seemed to be postponed again.


Now, he had no choice but to wait. Fortunately, there was no movement from the Tuffin family right now, and there was no news of Grandmaster Tuffin coming out of seclusion. Therefore, this gave David a bit of peace of mind.


Inside Burke's palace on Planet Boundless. The liveliness outside was unable to eliminate the coldness inside Burke's heart. He locked himself in his room and refused to see anyone. His father had told him about the news of the extermination of the palace guards.


The Sangruil Sinners will definitely win this time around. Even the palace guard team was not their opponent, and they were instantly killed, so how could the Boundless Planet defend against the Sinners Sangruil? Wasn't he just waiting for death if he continued to stay here?


But he did not dare to run away. Otherwise, there might have been a fate more terrifying than death waiting for him if the Emperor knew about it.


Burke gripped her hair with both hands, and she became panicked. He did not dare to escape. But, if he stays and the Sangruil Sinners get here before his father, Ramos, he will definitely die.


Now, according to the estimated time of arrival of both sides, Sangruil Sinners would definitely arrive before his father.


'I am destined to die this time.'


He had originally thought the arrival of Princess Astrid to the Boundless Region would give him a chance to enjoy a status increase, but it instead became a nail plugged into his coffin.


Now, Burke would rather stay on Planet Boundless and spend his days peacefully than risk his life on this occasion.


Since he did not dare to escape now, he could only hope that his father would arrive before the Sangruil Sinners, as no one on the Boundless Planet could go against the Sangruil Sinners. Only Celestial Rankers could eliminate the entire team of palace guards.


A Celestial Rank. Now, the most powerful person on Planet Boundless is the old man next to Fergus. But he was definitely not a Celestial Rank. The Callisto Family had still not reached the level where they had the power to send Celestial Rank to protect their direct descendants.


Everyone on Planet Boundless still did not know that the imminent danger was approaching. Many masters from the Boundless Region were still rushing to the Boundless Planet.


Once they arrived and found out why Burke had invited them, they would not dare to leave again. Otherwise, their entire family would be eliminated once the Emperor learned of this. This includes Fergus.


He would not have survived even if he was a direct descendant of the Callisto family, one of the eight leading families in the Milky Way Empire. If Fergus encountered something like this, he could only do his best to protect Princess Astrid.


They will fight and die together. If Fergus dares to escape, his entire family will be involved. If the Emperor of the Milky Way Kingdom was angry, he would exterminate their entire family regardless of whether they were one of the eight leading families.


In the void near Planet Boundless, the spaceship Princess Astrid had originally boarded rushed towards Planet Boundless. Suddenly, a flying ship quickly approached from behind.


A moment later, the flying ship passed through the starship and stopped in front of it. More than a dozen black-robed people descended from the ship and stood right in front of the spaceship, blocking its path.


As the spaceship approached them, a black-robed man advanced and placed his scaly claws on it, instantly stopping the spaceship in the void.


Then, another man in black robes walked into the hold of the spaceship. He also stretched out scaly claws, and with a wave, he opened the hatch easily. Soon, he entered the ship.


“Sial!”


Not long after, the man in black who entered the spaceship let out a roar.


Booms!


The entire space ship was blown to pieces. The black-robed man stood in the void, emitting a powerful energy.


“What's up? Where are they?” ask the black-robed man at the front.


“Master, his spaceship is empty, and they've escaped.”


The black-robed man in the lead did not speak. The atmosphere in the void felt rather heavy. Another dozen black-robed people also did not dare to breathe.


“They can't run far. Each of you must take responsibility for one direction and pursue them. Whatever happens, you have to catch the target. Otherwise, you know the consequences if you fail the mission" said the black-robed man who led grimly.


“Ya, Sir!” Everyone in black robes replied at the same time.


Their voices vibrate. Clearly, even they could not handle the consequences if the mission failed.


"Dissociated!” After the black-robed man in front finished saying that, he charged in one direction.


The rest also broke up after that. All of them chose different directions, one of which was straight towards the Boundless Planet. Currently, Princess Astrid and the gang had taken another route and were slowly approaching the Boundless Planet.


On Planet Boundless, Burke and Fergus sit face to face.


“B-Burke, are you serious?” Fergus asked nervously.


The tea cup in his hand also shook. This can show how anxious she feels.


"Yes, Mr. Fergus. Do you think I'd dare joke about Princess Astrid?" ask Burke.


"A-A-What should we do? If the palace guards can't defeat them, then what's the difference between us and the cannon fodder?"


"Yes, we are cannon fodder, but even if we know about it, we still can't escape, and we can only stay here and wait for death obediently." burke said with a bitter smile.


"Burke, you're the head of this planet, so you should stay here, but I'm not. Also, you didn't invite me, and I came here myself. If I leave secretly now, no one will know if you don't say anything. Burke, please help me. I'll give you whatever you want. I can give you everything I have. What say?” Fergus asked expectantly.


“Fergus, why do I need that? Could it save my life? Without my life, those things are only worldly possessions. Besides, Fergus, you need to think clearly. Princess Astrid was the favorite daughter of His Majesty the Emperor. If anything happens to him, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely investigate this. Even if I don't say anything, do you think His Majesty the Emperor won't know about it? When that happens, you will truly know a fate worse than death. Even your family will be wiped out, so you better stay and keep me company" Burke said with a grin.


He's been thinking about it. What will happen then happens. As the head of the Boundless Planet, his death had been determined when Princess Astrid came to the Boundless Region. Fergus accompanies him here of his own accord, so at least Burke will let this clown accompany him as he faces his destiny later.
