章 359: Chapter 358: The Theft of Nirvana!
Ihao, a planet with intelligent life forms, is one of the unluckier kinds among the universe's multitude of intelligent beings.
Their civilization, still in the primitive hunting era, was attacked by the emissary of Tyrant!
The intelligent life forms, still in the Stone Age, naturally could not muster the power to contend with the emissaries of the Star Swallower, let alone escape.
It was less a battle with the emissary of Tyrant, and more a bloody massacre.
Mountains crumbled, and rivers ran red with blood! In less than a day, the intelligent beings of the entire planet were exterminated by the emissary of Tyrant.
A once beautiful planet had thus become a terrifying hell on earth!
With mountains of bodies under his feet and breathing in the air filled with the scent of blood, the emissary of Tyrant slowly formed a sinister smile.
He reveled in this intoxicating smell!
Suddenly, as he indulged in the pleasure of slaughter, the emissary of Tyrant sensed something and looked up, just in time to see a streak of light crossing the sky.
Seeing this light, the emissary of Tyrant furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "The master is summoning all the emissaries, could there be trouble?"
With those words, the emissary of Tyrant, carrying his blood-stained battle axe, entered his spaceship.
...
Barla, a technologically advanced planet in the interstellar era, would normally have a few survivors even in the face of an attack by such powerful beings.
Unfortunately, they encountered Stardust.
Among the four emissaries of the Star Swallower, Silver Surfer had the mildest temper, performing his duties without unnecessary slaughter. However, the other three were much more ruthless, especially Stardust!
In Stardust's view, any planet that the planet devourer wanted to consume must have lost its purpose in the universe, and its civilization, being a malignancy, had to be eradicated.
Thus, under Stardust's assault, the original inhabitants of this planet were exterminated.
Amidst their curses, Stardust first slaughtered all the intelligent life on the planet, then exterminated those attempting to escape on spaceships, before finally ceasing her rampage.
Having completely destroyed a civilization, her face, as pristine as an ice crystal, showed no emotion—it was as if the one who had been slaughtering was not her.
Suddenly, sensing something, Stardust's gaze shifted just in time to catch the summoning signal from the Star Swallower. Her usually calm face showed a hint of annoyance, "The enemy dares to obstruct the master's grand plans? Unforgivable!"
With that, Stardust turned into a streak of snowy light, speeding in the opposite direction of the summoning signal at the speed of light.
...
Nilei, a picturesque planet populated by a species that loves nature. Unlike other intelligent beings, the intelligent species on Nilei were not animal life forms but mobile plant life forms.
On this planet, plants were at the top of the food chain!
However, this beautiful planet was about to face a terrifying enemy capable of complete destruction—Flame King!
Among the four emissaries under the planet devourer, each possessing unique energy traits, Flame King, who specialized in manipulating cosmic energy in the form of flames, could burst forth like a roaming star!
His abilities were the natural enemy of the plant life on this planet, not to mention his strength was far superior.
As Flame King approached, it seemed the beautiful planet would soon be reduced to a sea of flames.
Perhaps it was fate that the plant life on this planet should not be extinguished, for just as Flame King was about to enter the atmosphere, a dazzling radiance swept across from the depths of the universe.
Seeing this light, Flame King's advancing form halted abruptly. He looked in the direction of the light, then back at the planet he was about to cleanse. Hesitating for less than a second, he decisively abandoned his plan to attack the planet.
Transforming into a blaze of fire, he flew towards the direction of the planet devourer.
On the surface of Nilei, the plant life forms continued to lazily bask in the sun or hunt insects in ambush, utterly unaware that they had just narrowly escaped annihilation...
...
The next morning, Clark was woken up by a series of phone rings.
To say he was "woken" somewhat flattered Clark—he had barely slept all night, his mind preoccupied with Daisy's meaningful smile as she left.
Who knew that the magnificent Vibrant Lady was such a bewitching little demon?
Picking up the phone, Clark's inner turmoil subsided somewhat. The call was from Nalan Bai, and even as scoundrelly as Clark was, he couldn't entertain thoughts of another woman while talking to her.
Gathering his spirits, he calmly pressed the answer button
, "What's up, Bai, what's going on?"
"Our company has been robbed!" came Nalan Bai's indignant voice from the other end.
Clark frowned and asked casually, "What was stolen?"
Nalan Bai replied, "Thirty thousand dollars in cash."
Clark echoed, "Thirty thousand dollars?"
Nalan Bai confirmed, "Thirty thousand dollars!"
Clark responded helplessly, "If money was stolen, just report it to the police. I hate to say this, but with the planet devourer targeting Earth, I'm currently gathering the Avengers to figure out how to save the planet, and you're telling me about a company losing thirty thousand dollars?"
"It's not about the amount of money; it's just that the thief was too arrogant, too infuriating," Nalan Bai continued discontentedly. "Moreover, the thief is a superpower user, and the police definitely won't be able to handle her. I know you're busy with important matters, but... I'll send you the video, and you can decide whether to deal with it or not."
After speaking, Nalan Bai promptly hung up, and a few seconds later, Clark received a video file from her.
Clark didn't click to open the file on his phone but directly ordered, "Moon, link to my phone and project the video I just received."
"Right away, sir," Moon replied, and a surveillance video immediately appeared in the lab.
The video showed the finance room at Nirvana Group's headquarters, where employee short-term salaries and some minor expenses were typically settled.
In the information age, even a large corporation like Nirvana Group wouldn't keep much cash on hand; most transactions were conducted through bank accounts.
If there was any cash, it was mostly here.
At midnight, when the finance room was empty and the office dark, space suddenly distorted in the darkness, and a girl in casual wear and denim shorts stepped out from the twisted space—it was Lois!
Upon appearing, Lois's first act was not to find the safe but... to turn on the light!
Can you believe it? A thief who turns on the lights!
Not only did she turn on the lights, but she also looked around disdainfully, as if she found the working environment of Nirvana Company to be backward.
After strutting around the finance room for a while, she nonchalantly approached the safe. Using her spatial abilities, she opened a wormhole directly into the safe, big enough for a basketball.
She squatted down and pulled out a stack of neatly bundled $20 bills. Clark estimated quickly—it was exactly fifty thousand dollars. As for the other small change and bills, she didn't touch them.
With a wave of her hand, another ripple of space appeared, pulling in the banknotes she had taken from the safe. Then, Lois looked up at the direction of the video camera, made a face, said something, and activated her spatial ability again, disappearing from the video's range.
With his current abilities, Clark could understand her words through lip-reading.
"This big company only keeps this little cash? Too shabby! Next time, remember to keep more money here; I'll come back for it after I've spent this."
Clark now understood why Nalan Bai had been so angry.
But the video didn't end there; a second after Lois disappeared, another spatial fluctuation occurred, and she returned.
Then, Clark saw her politely turn off the light before disappearing again from the video.
Video over...
So arrogant! Incredibly arrogant!
Clark, as a multiverse-level superpower, had never seen such a brazen thief.
Stealing and then complaining about the lack of money, asking to leave more next time for her to take?
Does she think this is her house?
No way!
This cannot be left as is; he must teach this cheeky kid a lesson!
With that thought, Clark's spiritual power spread out, instantly enveloping the entire Earth. He had used this method to find Silver Surfer before, and he didn't believe Lois would be harder to find.
A second later, Clark's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
Found you!
