Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 13 The Sacred Flame Gun

Seeing Perseus's "envisioning the future" expression, the cosmic-level expert from the Umon family curled his lip, turned around and left, clearly not intending to listen to his boasting any longer.

Perseus looked at the slaves in front of him, glanced at their appearances, and revealed a satisfied smile.

Having extra ears, a tail, or horns isn't a big deal; at least it doesn't look deformed!

For doormen, looks are everything.

Otherwise, if a shop has a powerful enough storefront but uses a green-skinned, wrinkled, big-headed deformed child, or a grinning, jagged mouth, customers will probably turn around and leave at first glance.

Of course, a necessary deterrent is still needed.

To prevent the four strongest cosmic-level slaves and the dozen or so branch managers at the peak of the Eternal Star level from slacking off after he left, Perseus made a grand promise to them as soon as he returned to his residence.

……

"Can you see what this is now?"

Perseus reached out and released a dense red light. Sensing the oppressive aura, several Silverwing slaves trembled first.

It's a fire domain!

In other words, even if they cultivate step by step, this new master will be able to break through to the Domain Lord level in the future and become a super strong person like their former monarch.

The Silverwing Clan were not slaves from the beginning.

However, in a battle, the Silverwing Empire behind the Silverwing Clan was completely destroyed by the enemy empire, and the strongest domain lord fell. Those clansmen who were unable to escape in time naturally became slaves, to be chosen and manipulated at will.

However, this is the norm in Swallowing the Stars.

The winner takes all, and the loser is naturally reduced to a commodity.

However, their new master met with them in private and even took the initiative to reveal his secrets. If they guessed correctly, the other party should also give them a new way out.

really.

"I've inquired about your information, Wumeng tribe. After all, you were born into royalty and have some experience in commerce. As long as you complete the tasks I assign, I guarantee your future livelihood. Apart from the shop, I won't interfere too much in other matters..."

"So, Master, does 'not interfering' here also include marriage, having children, and having offspring?"

A bold young Silverwing raised his head, remaining kneeling, but the wings fluttering behind him betrayed his feelings.

"I don't care about that."

"Besides the constraints of the chip settings, I will also pay you salaries. I've gone to such lengths. If you still dare to be fickle and unwilling to do your best, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."

As soon as he finished speaking, an unimaginably terrifying pressure erupted around them. Although it was only fleeting, it made the leading few cosmic-level slaves feel as if they were facing a domain lord.

It has to be said that the "carrot and stick" approach is effective.

With Perseus's promise, they certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to give up the foreseeable good conditions and return to the previous life of constant anxiety and fear of being abused to death by their buyers.

Led by four cosmic-level slaves, more than a hundred people immediately threw themselves into the intense work, some taking over the shops and businesses, and others managing the manor.

In short, Perseus's envisioned chain of stores is on track.

This continued for some time.

Having confirmed that there were no problems, he finally felt relieved and set off, preparing to first go to the nearest few stars to collect the complex information elements of the puzzle, and then find a place to integrate the secret technique.

……

one year later.

The Baiyulian star system is located millions of light-years away from Mingguang Star.

Two stars face each other, while the rest of the planets flow along an "∞" trajectory with them as their dual cores. Strange flames intersect in the middle, scorching the passing planets.

The young man in crimson armor shook his arms, flicked his spear to disperse the incoming flames, and then accelerated, rushing towards the distant starry sky.

"Number 1, is this the last one?"

"Yes, Master. Currently, suitable puzzle pieces have been collected from all 13 planets marked within the straight line. Master, your first secret technique is about to take shape."

"However, Master, are you sure you want to give up swordsmanship and switch to spear training?"

"My talent is better suited to shooting!"

The Demon Orb bloodline seems to have truly replicated some of the talents of the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.

Perseus was only making initial attempts, but who knew that after switching to marksmanship, his power increased even faster. In just over a year, his power increased from 15 times to 25 times.

Practice with a gun is faster than practice with a knife, so abandoning the knife and practicing with a gun naturally becomes a matter of course.

Having confirmed that he had gathered enough information, Perseus returned to the spaceship with the newly transformed, complex puzzle pieces and retrieved all the previously prepared puzzle pieces.

In the next instant, a streak of red light shot out rapidly.

Perseus was multitasking, copying the puzzle pieces for Number 1 to record while simultaneously taking out a polished crystal and using the Force as a tool to carve out several recently collected gun techniques on it.

The Overlord Flame Divine Spear, the Phoenix Triple Slash Kill, the Nine Revolutions Calamity Spear... are all fire-attribute spear techniques!

He quickly extracted new puzzle pieces from these crystals inscribed with marksmanship techniques.

Information-related complex elements have a special nature and can be extracted repeatedly. However, Perseus discovered that directly extracting the secrets from the virtual universe would result in a bunch of useless blanks. This meant that he had to learn these basic gun techniques first in order to perfectly replicate them.

However, the process of practicing shooting is itself a form of training.

This is also one of the reasons why Perseus's power increased rapidly.

He absorbed enough knowledge from these ordinary marksmanship techniques, honed his skills in the killing field, and combined them with his innate talent for marksmanship, so his progress was naturally rapid.

At the same time, with the continuous supply of two-star Wen Yan cards, Perseus's strength was once again enhanced, reaching the fourth level of the cosmic level. Combined with his flame domain, which had already reached the fourth level, he was able to contend with ordinary first-level domain lords.

Of course, the first-level domain lord here must be below the fourth level of domain, and cannot master too powerful secret techniques, or even have innate secret techniques.

"But things are different now!"

Looking at the optimal solution calculated by Number 1, Perseus replicated it one by one.

Finally, a strange multi-orbiting star wheel appeared, emitting bursts of red light, giving people an extremely intense and violent feeling.

Fusion Cards!

As soon as he finished speaking, the star wheel suddenly contracted inward.

A red card emitting a strange light spun and fell, with relevant information appearing next to it.

[Two-Star Miscellaneous Card - Sacred Flame Lv10]

[Introduction: A powerful combat technique created by comprehending the constellations and combining the advantages of several special spear techniques. It involves the laws of fire and a trace of the laws of space, and has a strong ability to restrain attacks with the attribute of yin and cold. It is extremely yang and indestructible.]

Perseus reached out and touched the card.

Instantly, torrents of information surged from the cards, condensing into a great sun made of spears in his mental sea, radiating dazzling light, and even Perseus himself felt a slight heat.

"The Sacred Flame!"

Perseus returned to the starry sky and found himself amidst a cluster of meteorites.

Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, he exerted force in his arms, and the Force within him began to ignite.

"Smash it—"

He suddenly thrust out the Falling Flame Spear, which he had already upgraded to level 5 two stars. The blazing light was like heavenly fire falling. He thrust out three times in an instant, each of which shattered the surrounding meteorites. Even though his moves were still a bit clumsy, the power was incomparable to the inferior spear techniques he had practiced before.

Perseus holstered his gun and stood up, a smile on his face.

Then a burst of excited voices was heard, carrying a sense of eagerness.

"Number 1, let's go!"

"My new marksmanship needs to be tested by opponents. I'm planning to pick a few slave planets from the surrounding area to experiment with..."
