Small-time crook Gabriel Malkovich is int he unpleasant situation of meeting infamous and dangerous Mister Xero, favor-monger to the criminal elite. And for some reason, Mister Xero won't leave him alone...

"Darling!"
Nereja squeezed himself out of the crowd and opened his arms with excitement on his face.
A smile appeared on Lenny's face as she saw her husband. She dashed into his arms, then kissed his forehead, and they started kissing passionately. She hung on Nereja's neck like a koala. Their position was so fiery that it looked like they were going to do it on the spot. Han Xiao's eyes hurt from watching it, and the image of back then when he captured Kerlodd and stripped him naked appeared in his mind. Muscular, wide shoulders, small member. No wonder there were so many hybrids in Godora…
The other surviving Observers jumped down from the spaceship and hugged their friends.
When Han Xiao got off the spaceship, the space station chief approached and said with a surprised tone, "Black Star, this is…"
Obviously, the station chief did not know that Nereja had hired mercenaries privately. Hiring mercenaries for internal matters without permission was against the regulation in Godora, and the punishment would be given depending on how serious the situation was. It would also be added to their permanent record and affect their future and promotions.
When Nereja gave the mission, he had requested Han Xiao not to leak this information. However, keeping it a secret might lead to missed opportunities and lowered rating, so Han Xiao did not listen to him and told Lenny and the other survivors about it. These Godoran Observers, of course, knew about the regulation. After discussing it privately on the spaceship, they decided to keep the identity of the employer a secret. After all, Nereja had taken the risk to hire the mercenaries to save them, so they were willing to cover it up.
The Observers around them heard the station chief's question and all looked over. The survived Observers looked at Han Xiao worriedly, Nereja swallowed his saliva nervously.
These people were worried that Han Xiao would tell the truth. As Black Star was not an official of Godora, maybe he did not know about their regulations.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "When I was here, I heard about the research ships. I'm a mercenary, so I won't give up any opportunity to make a fortune. Mr. Station Chief, my services are not free. Maybe you should pay a reasonable price for my labor."
Nereja heaved a sigh of relief, and the other Observers were thankful, too. They looked at Han Xiao discreetly with appreciation.
In order to protect the employer's identity, this mercenary is even putting up a show. That is some dedication to his profession.
The station chief was puzzled and a little troubled. "According to our regulations, we can't pay you any money. This was your own action; we did not hire you."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that I worked for free? Is this how Godorans treat their friends?"
A shade of joy flashed through the deputy station chief's eyes. He coughed and said, "Station chief, he rescued the missing people after all. Although it's against the regulations, I feel that we should return the favor. We should thank him for saving the lives of these Observers. Godorans never treat our friends badly."
The station chief frowned and firmly shook his head. "Regulations are regulations. I appreciate your actions, but I really cannot pay you. This was your own action. If I paid you a reward, it would become a hire. That would be against the regulations."
The faces of the crowd around them changed in dissatisfaction, especially the surviving Observers including Lenny. Their eyes turned rather cold.
These mercenaries saved us, yet you don't even want to give a reward. Are our lives this cheap in your eyes?
Although they were unhappy, they did not say anything. The regulations were not to be disobeyed.
Han Xiao squinted and said in a deliberately indifferent tone, "Okay, I shall just say that I did a good deed. I want to park here for a day, will you maybe allow that?"
Seeing that he did not forcefully ask for a reward, the station chief felt relieved. He nodded and said, "Yes, we always welcome our friends."
Hearing this, the crowd around them stared at the station chief in discontent before looking at Han Xiao with even more appreciation.
The station chief turned around and left, and the crowd gradually split up as well. When they passed Han Xiao, they greeted him with a solemn gesture, expressing their appreciation.
In a corridor far away with only the deputy station chief and station chief, the deputy station chief took a few steps forward and walked beside the station chief. "You're too stubborn."
The space station shook his head and said with a very serious expression, "This is not being stubborn but principles. Since I was assigned to this place by the superiors, my job is to supervise all the work here and make sure that everyone does things following the regulations."
"Sigh, you're right." The deputy station chief purposely acted regretful. "Very few mercenaries would only negotiate a price after doing the job—their actions were not a coincidence. They probably accepted a secret hire from a space station employee long ago…"
The station chief suddenly stopped walking and said, "You're right… Those mercenaries deliberately lied earlier because they wanted to make more money. Humph, mercenaries indeed are a group of greedy people. Investigate it. I want to know who the one that hired the mercenaries was."
The deputy station chief hastily discouraged the station chief and said, "For things like this, knowing about it in our hearts is enough. Don't be so serious about it. No matter what, all the lost Observers returning is a good thing. If you act as if you don't know about this and don't look for who's responsible, the regulation violation will not exist. When you report to the superiors, you can write it into your own merits. This will be very beneficial for your future. They will think that you're very capable."
The station chief frowned and said in a righteous tone, "Merits? I won't hide the truth for something like this! Investigative who hired the Black Star Mercenary Group. A violation is a violation; no leniency is allowed."
…
Back at the hall, Nereja found Han Xiao. The two of them walked to the side, and he grabbed Han Xiao's hand with a face filled with gratitude.
"Thank you so much for your help. Lenny and I don't even know how to repay you."
Han Xiao pulled his hands back, shrugged, and said, "Of course you know how to repay me. We agreed on the reward."
"Yes, yes, yes, of course, I'm just too excited." Nereja took out his communicator and quickly made a transfer.

"How great."
Han Xiao's tone was calm, and he was expressionless.
At this point, he was already very calm about it… or at least he seemed very calm.
"I'm not angry, not at all."
Han Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the three choices.

Not too bad. Although it's not very good, a permanent attribute point is acceptable. This is the first time I've gotten an attribute reward from the Random Reward. It's worth remembering.
Han Xiao comforted himself more than ten times in his mind and felt like he was feeling much better, although it might have been his imagination.
After Han Xiao got the money in his account, Nereja took out a white diamond ring from his pocket, looked at it for a while with reluctance in his eyes, and then solemnly placed it into Han Xiao's hand.
"I know I don't have much money, and these rewards are too little for you, but you still chose to help me. I'm very touched and thankful. This ring is called the Kenorn Diamond Ring. It's a magic treasure that I collected. I want you to know that not all Godorans are as petty as the station chief. Please accept my gift."
The inside of the diamond on the ring had a magic glow. Han Xiao held onto the ring and looked at the item description on the interface.

The oldest and second oldest Volga brothers were the only Mages in the mercenary group, and they had a high enough level, so it could only be given to them. Anyway, the players were not there for the time being, so there was no need to sell it.
After bidding Nereja farewell, Han Xiao returned to the hall and casually threw the ring to the Volga brothers. The three of them cheered with joy and went to the side to look at it closely, leaving Herlous there holding onto his cards and staring at the game that he was going to win money from.
"Now that everything's over, are we not leaving yet?" Feidin asked.
Han Xiao's eyes flickered. "There are more situations here, but I have already done what I should do. The situation will only become beneficial after a very long time. When that happens, it might be worth it to return here… Alright, pack up then, we will be leaving in a short while. Nothing will be happening here for now, so there is no need to continue staying here."
The others did not understand what he meant.
"You're the captain—you know what to do," Herlous said. "Where are we going next?"
Han Xiao thought of the Interstellar Beast materials in the spaceship and said, "We need to find someone to turn that carcass in the warehouse into potions first."
Although finding the Mission Completion Card was important, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, being in a hurry would not make him any luckier.
Doing missions could be postponed temporarily. To him, dealing with the Interstellar Beast's materials was the most important matter.

Jawsh Black was currently laying on the floor.

"Are you sure you heard something." A voice entered his ear.

"....."

"Must have been your ears ringing."

the sound of footsteps reaching towards his general vicinity sped up his heartbeat.

"....."

"See there's nothing here you were worrying for nothing let's go" the voice continued.

"We can't mess this one up Delzi, this stuff is very important." another voice trailed off into the distance as both of these guys were getting far from Josh.

Jawsh heaved, crawling to one of the black boxes in the cargo deck, he inserted a thumb long stick drive in the drive slot on the backside of the server box.

The drive inserted itself completely into the slot such that no one would catch it as it was a fraction of a millimeter thick and other input drives or cables could easily slide on it to connect to the server box.

Jawsh crawled back out of the storage room, stood up, and started sweeping the floor. 

While sweeping the floor he made his way towards the trash managing node where he threw away his disguise of a janitor and changed into his normal clothing and walked out the other way.

This was Salvator, a Space station working as an outpost for a Space Colony.

Jawsh couldn't help but glance at the massive wheel-shaped space colony almost the size of a planet.

In this day and age, humans had conquered the space they had spread across hundreds of planets and built massive space colonies, space stations, and space crafts could be seen flying everywhere in the galaxy.

But the human race was idle there was just nothing left for them to do machines and AI had taken over the production jobs away from them.

All the humans were left with was Art and Games. But you could not play a game till you died you would be bored with it.

The scientist of the world gathered to create a second life for the humans the most advanced VRMMORPG to ever exist it.

IMPERIUM

It was a means to rejuvenate the life of humans all across the galaxy.

A sense of adventure is what it promised.

The black boxes in the most protected cargo hold of this space station were meant not meant to be here.

It was a well-devised plan hatched by Jawsh to make sure he came in contact with one of these server boxes.

The servers were supposed to be store backup information for the players on the space colony in the line of sight of Jawsh.

Jawsh had hacked into the military cargo ship carrying these servers to show a malfunction in their system which caused them to make a pitstop at this space station allowing him a chance to set up one of his inventions the sneaky bugger to be stuck into one of these boxes.

Sneaky bugger this was what Josh had named the slim and thumb long hack tool, it would allow him a few seconds access into the mainframe of the Imperium.

 It would allow him to create a minute backdoor into the main server of the Imperium and after the deed was done he could remotely command the sneaky bugger to melt itself in a pool of gunk that anyone would assume was the burned carbon or rubber filament left behind.

Jawsh hoped to utilize this 1 minute to get some classified information out of the game database and use it for his own benefit.

Jawsh was currently messing with the data of Space Station washing the clips of him entering & exiting the cargo hold.

"All that is now left to do is wait," said Jawsh looking at the cargo ship make its way towards the space colony.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jawsh was currently in front of his work station, he was a software engineer that was employed on this Space Station to manage data.

"Hey Jawsh, do you wanna grab a bite." Jawsh looked up from his screen to see one of his workmates.

"Not now Mathew, go on without me, I will need a minute to wrap this up."

"Ok" 

Jawsh looked at his screen intently he needed to be super focused he would only get a time frame of 1min or 30 secs.

"It's on." Jawsh's fingers moved at a lightning speed on the holographic keyboard int he air.

"Shit, only 10 seconds looks like I underestimated this piece of work." Jawsh quickly started copying the data from the main server of the Imperium.

He only had a time frame of 10 seconds to get as much data as he could and erase his marks on the logs in the Imperium.

He copied as much data he could in a frame of 5seconds.

Then he spent the next 4 seconds to erase the records of his tampering and unethical access into Imperium.

"The last second, I gotta destroy the bugger."

On the well-protected building in the space colony, one of the black boxes glowed for a half a second. As a spark was generated on its back end drive port, the sneaky bugger had destroyed itself successfully.

"Phew, all done." Jawsh calmed his nerves after the intense session of hacking into the most advanced piece of technology on the whole galaxy.

"At least I got some of the contents," Jawsh said looking at the data he had nabbed from the main server of Imperium.

"I should study these afterward," Jawsh muttered as he cracked his fingers and shut his system putting the precious thumb drive in his safe pocket.

Jawsh made his way towards the mess of the space station.

"Hey guys," Jawsh said while placing his meal on the table.

"Did you hear Henry has purchased the ultra game capsule to play Imperium."

"Hehe, my dad gifted it to me for my birthday." Henry smiled.

"Ugh, Henry I will not forgive you if you don't power level me after I get mine," Matthew grumbled.

"Hmm, I thought you guys all bought one," Jawsh questioned.

"Yeah bro, but ours is way back on the list of deliveries." A fatso sitting across Jawsh said.

"Ohh, I will get mine on the first day of release," Jawsh commented remembering how he had changed the delivery schedules for the cargo ship coming from the Space colony.

"Damn you are lucky Jawsh." Mathew patted Jawsh on his back almost causing him to throw the food out of his mouth.

"Control yourself Mate," Henry said to Mathew.

"Ah, I'm sorry Jawsh I didn't mean to hit you so hard."

"It's Ok," Jawsh said after taking a big gulp of water.

Jawsh and his buddies finished their meals and returned to their work stations.

Between the tapping of the holographic keyboards and the eye tracker helping him flip through the various data documentations on the space station,

Jawsh looked at the mirror by his desk, reminding him of his different appearance from the rest of the resident on this station, his reddish tint of skin was what the humans considered a failed experiment. Certain religious groups in the galaxy equated them to the devils and beings of hell.

Jawsh was born this way, some centuries ago the Federal Governmental of that time had passed a resolution that allowed the human genome to be altered such that the humans would easily adapt to new rougher environments thus saving the cost to change the whole ecosystems of native planets to suit human standards.

Jawsh was a product of such genome changes in the normal human DNA, he was what the normal humans called a Martian, it was named so after the planet Mars back in the central district of the Human civilization, the Earth and the Mars along with the Venus were the holy trinities of planets only the human elite could ever dream of laying their foot on these land, it was where the humans had evolved and flourished and then gone on to start their journey into the galaxy.

Though the discrimination the other hybrid humans faced was still less compared to the one suffered by certain alien species and the so-called Martian variant of humans. It was coincidentally due to the aggressive nature of the Martian humans, they tended to get angry and lose their cool a lot.

Jawsh averted his eyes from the mirror and started to concentrate back at his job, thinking he would make sure the next space station to be outfitted by the new brain wave operator system will be his station so that he does not have to move his fingers over the air which he thought was more tiring than using the ancient keyboards.

Imperium is the newly launched VRMMORPG that is state of the art and will revolutionalize the lives of every person living in the galaxy.

Jawsh Black is an engineer on a space station in the vast galaxy.

He successfully hacks into the server of the new game Imperium allowing him access to some of the information that was hidden from the general public.

Armed with hidden knowledge of the game sets out to make a fortune within the game to escape his lousy life on a space station.

As the ship started moving away from the debris that was the station, the planet he had spent so much time on came to view.
-"It's so pretty, do we really get to live there?" she asked.  (Was that Olivia??)
Blinking a few times, Dustin looked around.  Why had he had that flashback?  He wasn't a worm, and the crystal prince wasn't around…was he?
Dustin swiveled his head around but didn't see any crystal forms around the outside of the ship.  Glancing out over the debris, he decided, even if the prince was over that way, he'd never see him with all the trash floating around.  A toilet and sink floated by just at that moment, as if to prove his point.
Olivia, who had been clinging to the ship beside him, suddenly lost her grip, and started floating free, tethered only by the line from the robot AI.  Grabbing her with one hand, he turned her around to see that she had lost consciousness.
"PED, I want her on my back, covered in several layers of scales!" he said, envisioning what he wanted in his head.
(THAT WILL SEVERELY STRAIN YOU.  I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SCALES THAT COVER HER WILL BE ABLE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.  IF THERE IS EVEN THE SMALLEST BUMP, SHE MAY BREAK FREE.)
"I'm okay with that, if she didn't get her evolution complete, or something went wrong, she only has seconds!"
He was able to slowly maneuver her onto his back, having to twist to keep her from hitting the shield.
(EVOLUTION INITIATED)
The scales he wanted, started to grow over her arms first, so that he could reach down and get her legs positioned.  As soon as they were positioned, scales began to grow over them as well, holding her to him.  He couldn't see the rest of the scales that covered the rest of her form.
(EVOLUTION COMPLETE.  SHE WILL NOW BE PROTECTED FROM FURTHER HARM FROM EXPOSURE TO SPACE.  THIS WILL NOT PROTECT HER FROM ANY DAMAGE SHE MAY HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED)
"I'm not worried about that, she has really good healing."
Suddenly, there was a flash out of the corner of his eye, and before he could turn his head, he was hit by another flashback.
-"How are we going to escape?  The shuttles will blow up if we fly too high!"  Her voice sounded desperate and panicked.  There was also a hint of pain in it.
-"I'll just reprogram it not to blow up!"  His voice was self-confident.  (Of course, I could…)
-The beeping was getting louder.  How the hell did he turn it off?  There was the crystal prince in the shuttle with them, telling them they needed to abort the attempt.
Dustin blinked again.  The crystal guy must be a stooge that they used to manipulate him.  But why was he having these flashbacks?
He looked around again, mostly towards the upcoming station, where the flash had been right before the flashback.
"PED, can you tell me why I'm having these flashbacks?"
(SOMETHING IS AFFECTING YOUR BRAIN, CAUSING YOU TO HALLUCINATE.  I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE HALLUCINATIONS ARE INDEED FLASHBACKS OR MANUFACTURED MEMORIES.)
Dustin paused at that.  He had assumed that the memories he was having now, were real, but now that he thought about it, what if he doesn't have any real memories?  What if everything has been made up.  If he could have groaned, he would have.  
Thinking quickly, because he wasn't in a safe place to make a poor decision, he finally came to the conclusion, that it didn't matter what memories were true or not.  He knew that the Josagn were trying to kill him, thus he wanted to get away from them.  He knew that Olivia was in the same position he was, trying to escape, so he was willing to take her along.  Everything else was unimportant.
He needed to get into that station, find a ship, and get the two of them away from this place.  Then they could try and figure things out.
There was that flash again, and he was able to spot it this time.  Some kind of creatures were flying around the station, rather thickly, in space.  Every time one turned belly away from the station, there was a flash.  The reason they were so hard to spot, was because the shield that encircled the station was covered in them.
Dustin couldn't tell if they were protecting the station or feeding off of the energy field.  Their skin was bio-luminescent, flickering shades of blue and green, and everything in between.  As the ship he was on drew even closer to them, he could see that they had flat bodies, much like flat worms, with long tentacles trailing behind them.  Their head looked very squid-like, with two eyes and ten tentacles of varying length protruding from their mouths.  Four were longer, while six were smaller.  Two of the long tentacles had a flat, spoon-like end, while the other two ended in bright glowing tips.  
-"IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURRRTTTSSS!"
Dustin almost lost his grip on the ship with that flashback.  The pain still coursed through his body from the memory.  He couldn't remember anything but the screams and the pain.  
"PED, is there anything you can do, to keep what ever it is from messing with my head?"
(PERHAPS I CAN MODIFY YOUR BRAIN TO PREVENT REM SLEEP AT THE MOMENT?)
"Will it mess me up?"
(ONLY IF YOU TRY TO SLEEP)
"Okay, do it!  If anything happens and I need it, then undo it then."
(EVOLUTION INITIATED)
(EVOLUTION COMPLETE)
It couldn't have finished any sooner.  As the ship got closer to the station, the creatures noticed it and flew over.  Dustin watched curiously, and a little apprehensively.  He really wanted a sample from one.  If he could fly around space like that, he wouldn't be in this position.
Suddenly the shield around the ship went down, and the creatures that were flying to the ship, lost interest and headed back to the station, until a few spotted him.  
"PED, I need some way to hurt these things!"
(PERHAPS POISON/VENOM DARTS?  YOU COULD SPIT THEM FROM YOUR MOUTH?)
"Sounds good!"  he clung to the ship harder, bracing for impact, as some of them got closer.
(EVOLUTION INITIATED)
(EVOLUTION COMPLETE)
Dustin felt a tooth wiggle loose and without hesitating, spit it at the nearest creature.  It was a very strange sensation, as his throat was closed off.  The spitting force came from his tongue and lips.  No sooner had the tooth left his mouth, then another, much smaller and thinner tooth fell into place.  As he spit it, again, another fell into place.  He wasn't sure how it worked, but he wasn't going to complain.
As each tooth touched a creature, it spasmed almost immediately, and it didn't take very long at all for them to decide he wasn't interesting.  
Reaching out to grab one, as the ship flew by, he jammed the tentacle into his port.

On the second night that Tomcat observed Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai I again, the point of light had brightened again. The comet's speed was extremely fast—it was probably the fastest moving celestial body in the Solar System. It could fly more than 70 km/s while ordinary planetoids only moved at 20 km/s.
In terms of mass, the energy brought by the comet was thirteen times that of the asteroid that blasted the dinosaurs into extinction at the end of the Cretaceous Period. If Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai I were to hit Mars, the catastrophe it created would be more spectacular than the fifth major extinction event.
Mars's volume density was much smaller than Earth's, and the comet had enough energy to throw large quantities of matter into orbit. This would leave a huge impact crater on Mars's surface while also forming a belt of particles around it, giving it its own ring.
Of course, it would be impossible for Tang Yue and Mai Dong to see such a scene. Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai I came from above the Solar System's ecliptic plane, so it would definitely hit the northern hemisphere of Mars. It was possible that Kunlun Station would be instantly destroyed upon impact, and the space station would be ripped to shreds from the ejected rubble.
"How is it? That comet?" Tang Yue asked.
Tomcat moved the monitor towards Tang Yue.
On the screen was space. It was a picture taken from the space station's survey telescope. It had been constantly tracking the comet that had barged into the Solar System.
To Tang Yue's surprise, Tomcat pointed at a very faint point of light with its paw. It didn't stand out among the bright stars, completely at odds with Tang Yue's impression of a comet.
He originally imagined that he would see a bright comet with a sweeping tail.
"Unfortunately, the Dawn module on the space station has been destroyed. Otherwise, we could have telescopes with bigger apertures and precision. That way, you'd be able to see it more clearly," Tomcat said. "This is Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai I that's flying towards the sun at high speeds. In the three minutes you have been staring blankly at the screen, it has already crossed a distance of 12,600 kilometers."
Tang Yue stroked his chin.
If this were ancient times, this comet would likely be labeled as a "calamity from the skies, an ominous portent." Be it China or foreign countries, the ancients had bad impressions of comets. The Chinese called it a jinx that represented bad luck, while Westerners believed that it was a sign of God's displeasure and fury.
After all, anyone who knew that there was such a huge object approaching from over their heads would feel uneasy, regardless if it was a nuclear bomb or a comet.
Tang Yue suddenly had a strange thought. "Tomcat, do you think that this is actually an interstellar missile? Certain civilizations create them as long-range strike weapons. They fly fast just like a missile… Don't you see the resemblance?"
"Not at all." Tomcat shot a glance at him and shook its head. "According to the light spectrum analysis, this object is 95% comprised of water. The rest is carbon dioxide, nitrogen, ammonia, and methane. Such materials rapidly evaporate when they approach the sun. If it's a missile, I feel that it should have a ferrotungsten core at the very least, or be a three-stage bomb."
"So it's actually just an interstellar water delivery boy?"
"Yes." Tomcat nodded. "A considerable portion of Earth's water might have originated from comets. Billions of years ago, when life had yet to be born, large numbers of comets and asteroids collided with Earth, bringing it rare metals and water, perhaps even organic molecules."
"If it hits Mars, and I'm only saying if… with it not affecting Kunlun Station or the space station… does that mean it will replenish us with water? So much, that we won't be able to finish that amount in all our lives."
"Impossible. What is going on inside your head? Do you think it will turn into a lake or ocean after the impact?" Tomcat shook its head. "All the water contained in the comet nucleus will instantly evaporate due to the high temperatures from the impact. They will evaporate into the Martian atmosphere, and you won't be able to get a single drop of water. Of course, this bit of water won't moisturize the Martian atmosphere. It's equivalent to pouring a bottle of mineral water in the middle of the Sahara desert."
"I was just fantasizing." Tang Yue curled his lips.
"The only way to extract the water resources from the comet is…"
"What's it?" Tang Yue asked.
"To fly up and stop it just like the Deep Impact spacecraft," Tomcat answered. "Then, you can extract however much water you wish."
When Tomcat mentioned such tales that bordered on the level of gods, it meant that it was very irritated by one's extreme stupidity.
"Is the result of this object's trajectory out?"
Tomcat shook its head. "It's still under observation."
Tang Yue knew that it was impossible for the comet to hit Mars… The possibility of having these two celestial objects collide, was lower than having a bullet hit another. However, he couldn't stop worrying. In the past, Tang Yue definitely wouldn't have worried over a comet, nor was it his place to worry over it. But ever since Earth had vanished, Tang Yue felt that the Universe was fraught with danger. The vast, pitch-black night sky seemed to be hiding all kinds of ferocious beasts.
Since it could swallow Earth with just one bite, spitting out something to drown you wasn't unimaginable.
"Mr. Cat?"
"Miss Mai Dong, is the light sensor on the S1 battery bank still operational?"
"Everything is operational. The light sensor is in good condition," Mai Dong replied. "The repair work was very successful."
Mai Dong's EVA missions had come to a perfect conclusion. She had smoothly swapped the damaged wires and Tang Yue had praised her for her talent as an electrician.
Tomcat curled its mouth as it couldn't be bothered.
What kind of talent was needed to be an electrician?
Only being Electrician Liu, Liu Cixin, needed talent.
"Mr. Cat, I've sorted out a portion of the development history of European technology and agriculture. I've also briefly mentioned a few key people in Western philosophy," Mai Dong sent the document to Tomcat. "I have St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Leibniz, and Descartes."
"Hmm…" Tomcat glanced at it. "Tang Yue, are you done on your side?"
"Almost. However, for people like Pythagoras and Democritus, do you plan on putting them into philosophical history or in scientific history?"
Tomcat thought and said, "Philosophical history."
"After all, the earliest science was the philosophy of nature," Mai Dong said. "Philosophers were scientists."
"But Aristotle was practically an antagonist in secondary physics classes," Tang Yue said. "He was criticized in almost every lesson."
"The next person is Francis cured meat… Ah, no. Bacon!"
"Next would be Nikola and Bruno."
"Going down the list would be Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo… These people should be placed in scientific history. The philosophers worth mentioning here would be Berkeley and Spinoza."
Tomcat babbled on and on.
They were organizing their records of scientific and philosophical history. They were taking note of all the famous experts in history, while science and philosophy were specially highlighted, placing them on equal ground with the human civilization's chronicles. Doing so made the presentation more orderly. In addition, agricultural and industrial development was made into a separate book by them. They went from slash-and-burn to the use of fertilizer, going from the first Industrial Revolution to the birth of the semiconductor. Human history was sloshing through this tiny scientific station.
"Kant… and also Hegel."
"That person is Schopenhauer!"
"Freud shouldn't appear here. Let's mention him when writing about psychology. Don't forget Nietzsche, heard that, Miss Mai Dong… Nietzsche's period is wrong."
"F*ck, I told you before, Tang Yue. Marx isn't a Soviet!"


Payload specialist, Tang Yue, who is a mechanical and electrical engineer by training, is left stranded on Mars when he receives news from his AI robot assistant, Tomcat, that Earth has exploded. He believes himself to be the last human in the Universe.
Turns out, he is only the last man in the Universe. Botanist, Mai Dong, had been left on the United Space Station (USS) orbiting Mars, to await Tang Yue's ascent to the USS before they make their journey back to Earth. But now, it's impossible.
Join the trio's quest for survival as they attempt to unravel the mystery of Earth's disappearance.

Chapter 73 – Mia's Battle Mode
As Mia and his off-road bike were crossing the wasteland, his black watch blinked.
It was a new communication watch that Crystal gave it to Mia, so they could communicate from a distance.
Mia put his wireless earpod in his left ear and receive the call.
[Testing. Can you hear me, Misha?]
"Loud and clear, Crystal."
[Good, I've connected to our satellite. Chacha and I will help you in this mission.]
"Did that geezer allow you to help me?"
[He didn't say anything about not allowing us to help you, so I do what I want.]
"Sweet. Thanks, Crystal."
[Save your thanks once you come back. Well, I'll be your eyes, and Chacha will be your backup. For now, I want you to head west. Turn left and keep going straight.]
"Isn't the human base on the northwest? Why do you want me to take a detour?"
Crystal had pinpointed the location of the kidnapped pilot and briefed Mia about it. However, the order of Crystal confused Mia.
[Are you planning to raid the city from the front? Are you nuts!? I'm telling you to go west, so we can sneak into the town undetected.]
Mia had an awkward smile on his face as he knocked his head with his fingers, 'Well, I'm not nuts, but I can't say I'm not a banana. Come on, brain. Work like you used to work, damn it.'
*Mew* (Misha is stupid.)
"…"
*Mew* (Correction, you're a banana.)
"That's better."
Despite being called stupid repeatedly, Mia was not angry. Instead, the frontal lobe of his brain warmed up as he heightened his concentration and awareness. His brain's temporal lobe, which located below the front lobe, recalled the memories of the military training and the preparation he had.
And the inner part of his brain, which was sandwiched by the temporal lobe and frontal lobe, had been put into use once more.
This part was called [The Esper Lobe], which only existed within espers from the real world.
As over 2,000 had passed since this hydra virus apocalypse, humanity went through changes from mutated genes to developed DNA, which several millions of populations in the Milky Way Galaxy inherited this evolved genes and become the dominant sub-species of humankind, the psychics.
The esper lobe was one of the byproducts of this evolution process. It enabled ordinary human to use supernatural abilities, manipulating materials, sharpening five senses, or enhancing their physical attributes.
His grandmother and Mia also inherited this alpha gene and grew up as one of the psychics.
As Mia's esper lobe got warmer from the mild electric current within his brain, his heart rate increased by a notch, and the blood pressure increased from 125/75 to 135/90, which pumped the heated blood inside his veins faster.
Tama also sensed the change within Mia's body. Seeing that Mia was in a serious mode, she shut her mouth.
= A minute later =
As he was driving, Mia pointed his finger to his side, and electricity gathered into the shape of a hand-sized ball.
*SCREECH!*
A three-head snake dug itself out of the ground, jumping at Mia with their mouth wide open.
*BOOM*
As if a lightning bolt struck, the electric ball turned into a streak of thunder and hit the snake, roasting it instantly.
*MYA!* (What the hell!?)
<<You have killed a mutated snake.>>
<<You have gained 100 EXP.>>
<<Your INT has gained 100 EXP.>>
<<Your DEX has gained 100 EXP.>>
Mia did not stop there. Two more electric balls manifested behind Mia's back and scattered into different directions.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*SCREECH!*
*SHAAA!*
<<You have killed burrow scorpion.>>
<<You have killed burrow scorpion.>>
<<You have gained 200 EXP.>>
<<Your INT has gained 200 EXP.>>
<<Your DEX has gained 200 EXP.>>
Two red scorpions at the size of a truck screamed as they got out of their burrows. These two monsters had been lying in wait, trying to ambush Mia.
"Hu."
Mia exhaled out the flammable gas from his lung as he lowered his tension for a second. He got back into his combat mode within the next moment and continued riding the bike toward the destination.
[Impressive, Misha. How did you know that they were hiding underground? We can't even detect them from our visual.]
Crystal was impressed by Mia's quick work. Had they not known each other, Crystal would have thought that Mia could have been an otherworlder.
"Six sense."
[I'm serious. Our men usually got ambushed by those snakes and scorpions. If you can give us some tips, we can save their lives in the future.]
Mia frowned. He actually relied on his sharpened instinct, and he did not lie.
"I can smell them. My nose gets more sensitive after I've become a dragonewt."
[Ah, a pity. Well, continue going west. I'll tell you when and where you will have to take a turn.]
<<Your WIS has gained 100 EXP.>>
"…"
Mia did not have the mood to retort the game system. Who would have thought that a good lie could increase his status EXP?
…
…

= Dark Knight Space Station =
Dark Knight SS orbited around the Earth, which served as the local military boot camp for new trainees. However, instead of training adult soldiers, this place was used for the [Child Military Training Project].
This was built after they had succeeded training the [Golden Generation] which Mia was a part of it. They copied the layout, living quarters, training centers, and facilities that Putinof Colony had to replicate how they had trained Mia and his friends.
They partitioned this station into different sectors, the military sector, resident sector, academy sector, logistic sector, and management sector.
Each year, over a thousand young boys and girls at the age of 12 to 15 joined this program. Yet, only less than a hundred could stay after a year of training.
None of them quit the training, but the instructors failed them as they did not have enough talent.
Colonel Dullahan Wildcat, who once gave tips to dead players in the game after they failed the test, visited this space station today because of an errand.
He was a commander in his 50s. Yet, he kept no beard, and he trimmed his hair short like a proper soldier.
Dullahan stood by a transparent glass wall. Within the empty white room, a teenage girl in her 14 was sitting alone.
If anyone who knew Mia were here, they would have been shocked. Aside from her black hair, the girl in the room had the same face and the same outward appearance as Mia!
A change occurred within the chamber. Behind the sitting girl, the surface of the wall opened small holes, which revealed gun barrels within them.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
The sounds of the gunshot echoed from within the room.
The girl still sat there in the same place, unharmed, but there were dented bullet heads around her. Those flattened cartridges were not ordinary 9mm or 14.5mm rifle shells, they were the anti-tank 20mm cannon bullets!
These shells were at the same size when Mia sniped the mechs in the game. All bullets hit an invisible wall behind the girl, yet they failed to even touch her!
Dullahan nodded in amazement.
"Is she the top student?"
At Dullahan's side, another old man in his 90s was sitting on a floating capsule chair. He also gazed at the student in the white room.
"Yes. The best of this year, unfortunately."
"Unfortunately?"
"She is not up to par of the originals."
"But she can defend herself against anti-tank shells! She can't reach their standard yet!?"
"That's all she can do, defending herself. She may have the same six-sense as [them], but she doesn't have [their] overwhelming psychic powers. In short, she has a good shield, but she lacks a weapon."
"Well, if she can't be compared to everyone in the [Golden Generation], how about the failure one?"
"What do you mean?"
"The only failure of the golden generation, that grandson of the silver empress."
The old man took his time to think. In the end, he shook his head.
"I wouldn't call that boy a failure. In my opinion, he's the only passable trainee among his generation. He's the only one with human conscience, remember? The rest is just mutated beasts."
"But he's weaker than the rest, and that woman also tampered with his DNA! We need fierce tamable soldiers, not a self-conscienced sissy!"
The old man sighed. He stopped arguing and gazed at the girl in the room, who had just turned to look at the glass wall and waved at them.
He smiled at the girl like a gentle grandfather and waved back at her.
"Well, back to the topic, this girl won't be those monsters' match, and she won't be that boy's match either if they fight."
"Shouldn't she be stronger than Uriel Mia? I remember his profiles, he can't even deflect bullets properly. He also took too much time to activate his battle mode!"
"She still has the mentality of a child, colonel. That's why I said she's will never be their opponent."
"..."
"Well, since you've been comparing this girl with the golden generation, are you trying to revive that silly project or what? You've spent a year in that game and only brought out something stupid like dead viruses."
"Hmm, yes. We've found a way to seduce the hydra parasite within that game. Uriel Mia managed to bring a living one out, and MWG wants to test his taming method with other subjects who have similar genes as his."
The old man turned to Dullahan. His face revealed his full interest, "Tell me the details."


Mia: "There are three kinds of humans in this world, wet bananas, inedible bananas, and rotten bananas."
Mob A&B&C: "What?"
Mia: "I want to play a game. You will pick one of the bananas, and tell me what what type of humans you are."
Mob A: "Screw you. Why should I?"
*Mia killed Mob A*
Mia: "Your turn."
Mob B: "I'm a human, not a banana."
*Mia killed Mob B and stuffed him into a banana.*
Mia: "Your turn."
Mob C: "I-I'm a wet banana."
Mia: "Good choice!"
*Nom-Nom Mew!* (Food!)
*Tama killed Mob C*

From chapter 153 onward, all chapters have been proof-read by Ashmrth.

Dustin paced, thinking hard.  He had done everything he could to try and make a virus to stop his virus, but it wasn't working.  He glanced over at the people watching him from the doorway, and sighed.  It was useless.  By this point the damage was already done.  It was five days since he had released the virus, basically shutting down the entire galaxy.
While the people on the station hadn't figured out the scope of what he had done, they had definitely been unhappy about the damages he had caused.  The goodwill from them had crumbled within minutes when they discovered he was the reason everything had failed.  Despite his success in getting things back up and running, to save their lives, they had strongly recommended he stay on board his ship until he was able to leave.  It only made sense that he wasn't needed after he had fixed things.
"Dustin, there is a group of people approaching the station that are looking for you," said one of the people at the door.
Dustin looked over at her, "Why do you say that?" 
"They just did a general hail, to everyone, asking if you were here."
Dustin glanced at the tablet in her hand, then turned to his own screen to see the message himself.
XxxxX
"Did the virus affect the nanobot hive mind?" asked Granny, as they approached the Uz'En home world.
"Doesn't look like it," said Olivia, glancing over at the swarms of nanobots approaching them.
Once they confirmed that they were friendly, the swarm left again, to rejoin the mass surrounding the planet.
"There's so many of them!" wondered Old Motha.
"They must have mined out the entire asteroid belt to make that many.  The hive mind is probably making sure that they are well protected after those aliens showed up and took Dustin away," said Olivia.
"Olivia," came a voice through the ship's communications.  "We have managed to prevent the virus that Dustin released from affecting our planet, and have traced back where he is located, but we have also discovered communications between two entities discussing his demise.  We would recommend you retrieve him before this is attempted."
"Who is that?" asked Granny, taken aback.
"This is the hive mind, Granny.  We are sure that Dustin will be glad to see you."
"I don't mind going to get him, hive mind, but I need to do something with the ship full of Gooblens that I currently have."
"We will send food and supplies to you, for them, but we strongly recommend you keep them on board, rather than having them taken down to the planet.  The prior ones have caused a lot of damage on planet."
Old Motha and Granny both sighed.
"Can you tell how extensive the damage is, from the virus?" asked Olivia.
"We have not been able to contact any of our prior contacts.  It would seem that all electrical life in the galaxy has been stopped.  Though, the communication we received, does hint at the survival of the AI Dustin seems to be at war with."
"The AI must be the same one who contacted the Tik, trying to get the assassins to kill him.  It must have found someone else to try and do it," said Olivia.
"They might be the assassins' rivals," suggested Old Motha, thoughtfully.
"It doesn't matter who it is, if they went after Dustin, he will wipe them off the face of the planet they call home," said Olivia with a shake of her head.
"Let's see if we can go get him before they do," said Granny.
A shipment of supplies was quickly transferred into the cargo hold of the ship, and they turned away from the planet Hope, towards a small space station floating in the middle of nowhere.
XxxxX
Dustin directed the people on his ship to move back into the cafeteria, and turned to his monitor.  The ship had a very rudimentary computer, that he had been working on between everything else.  If these people looking for him were trouble, he wanted to make sure the ship made its way back to his home planet.
Typing everything he could think of, as fast as he could, Dustin glanced back over it, to make sure that his message was clear, then headed for the airlock.  With the mood the station owners were in, they would probably turn him in to these guys very quickly.
Arriving at the airlock, he spied a group of large-muscled aliens, with dark green skin, moving towards him.  Based on the looks on their faces, he was relatively certain they weren't there to shake his hand and congratulate him on a job well done.
"Hey!  We told you to stay on your ship!" cried the small station owner hidden behind the bulk of the thugs.
"Yeah, but it got kind of stuffy in there, and I thought I'd go out for some air," Dustin said, pointing with his thumb over his shoulder.
The airlock on his ship shut tight, and his ship disconnected from the station, creating a huge hole that immediately sucked him into space.  He had already modified himself, to survive the horrors of space, but the others were caught unawares.  The station owner was the first to succumb, floating slowly away, as crystals formed on his skin.  The thugs had managed to grab the edge of the airlock, and were holding on, fighting against the rush of air that was flowing out of the station.
Dustin knew that they hadn't repaired the emergency functions on the station yet, which meant that they would probably lose all of their air in that entire sector, if not the entire station.  Turning his head, he watched the ship drift away from the station, then warp away.  It would jump three times, before turning to his home world, and making one final jump, depleting all of the fuel.  Hopefully that would keep anyone from following it.
Turning his attention back to the airlock, he spied their ship, who apparently noticed what had happened.  It was rushing over, possibly to save the thugs who were struggling at the airlock.  As it turned its weapons on him, he realized they were actually coming for him.  With a smile, he used the almost invisible tendrils from his worm form, that he had grown along his arms and legs, to move him towards the ship.  To anyone watching, it looked like he could fly through space, unaided.  Dustin knew he was awesome, and it was time to teach these guys that.

Dustin has his people spread out over the whole galaxy, where they've been enslaved, bred and slaughtered like animals.  With Olivia at his side, he WILL get them all free and back home.
Or die trying.

' Thanks Daisy ' *growl* as Emmanuel's stomach growled he looked around for anything to eat but sadly there are none only other Bat Hatchling Eggs and he doesn't want to be a cannibal as he took a second glance at his Egg Shell *growl* his stomach growled again ' Why does my Egg Shell seem
