Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

Facing the questions raised by Shen Bei.

Lingxi Zhiling quickly replied: "Failed to complete the task."

"Why?" Shen Bei asked with a frown.

Before he entered the Tiangong, he still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that the Tiangong had captured Mosaic and was only temporarily detaining him.

Now it seems that fantasy is indeed unreliable.

Lingxi Zhiling did not prioritize answering the question of why.

The giant observation tower light curtain in front of the console, which had been closed, slowly opened.

A scene that surprised Shen Bei appeared.

His gaze passed through the light curtain of the observation tower, and a blue planet appeared in his field of vision!

Earth!

The huge and familiar outline of the earth hangs quietly not far away, with the blue ocean and white clouds complementing each other.

Shen Bei suspected that he was hallucinating.

From this perspective...Tiangong has flown into space?

He never gave such an order.

However, at this moment, Shen Bei had no time to appreciate the magnificent scenery of his home, nor did he have time to think about why Lingxi Zhiling wanted to drive the Tiangong into the universe.

Because right across from his vision, an alien spaceship was lurking in the dark abyss of the universe like a ferocious giant beast.

The spaceship looked like a huge metal assembly, with the main body being an irregular polyhedron. Its surface was covered with sharp protrusions and deep grooves, like scars carved by time and war.

On its abdomen, several thick mechanical legs twisted and coiled like pythons, with cold blue light flashing at the ends, as if containing enough power to tear apart space.

At the bow, in a huge rift-like structure, was embedded a main gun emitting a strange red light. The barrel was like a devil's horn protruding from the abyss of hell, surrounded by layers of energy coils. Those coils twisted as if they had life, and from time to time they burst out with dazzling arcs of electricity, as if accumulating anger for the destructive power that was about to be released.

On both sides of the spacecraft, there are densely packed secondary guns, like stingers in a beehive. The muzzle of each secondary gun flashes with a dangerous cold light, like countless pairs of eyes spying on prey.

At the rear of the spacecraft, the huge engine nozzle was like the mouth of a roaring beast, spewing out blue plasma flames from time to time. The flames were mixed with strange light, as if burning unknown matter in the universe, providing endless power and deterrence for this steel behemoth.

Shen Bei could clearly feel that all of the opponent's weapon systems had locked onto the Tiangong.

If Lingxi Zhiling had not blocked the alarm, the alarm would have been heard throughout the spacecraft from the moment he entered the Tiangong.

"The World-Destroying Starship or the Shadow Immortal?"

Shen Bei asked with doubt.

"A world-destroying starship." Lingxi Zhiling continued to respond, "The target mosaic can evade or even shield various detection methods such as radiation, induction, and electromagnetic waves. During the pursuit, I finally found a loophole in the mosaic, but I was locked in. The other party sent a communication from outer space, asking me to leave the earth, otherwise they would destroy it."

Shen Bei touched his chin.

I understand.

No wonder the Tiangong has been away for so many days and has not returned.

Whether the task succeeds or fails, information should be returned.

The result was that he was forced into outer space.

The distance was too far, so Shen Bei naturally couldn't receive the signal.

At this time, Shen Bei slowly stood up and walked to the observation light curtain.

The intelligent light curtain can capture and enlarge a certain area.

Shen Bei looked at the true form of the world-destroying starship with curiosity.

Scary and ferocious enough.

"Is Dr. Batu moving so fast?"

I vaguely remember that two years ago, the Apocalypse-class starship only had one control room, and the rest of the ship was blown off to who knows where by a nuclear bomb.

Haven't seen you for almost a year.

Has the world-destroying starship been restored?

"Has there been any further communication?" Shen Bei turned around and asked.

"There was a second time, but after the other party found out that I was not the owner, he lost interest."

"Are you dealing with Dr. Batu?"

"correct."

"Send a communication request."

Shen Bei ordered.

Sitting back in the chair, Shen Bei rested his chin on one hand, looking quite lazy.

soon.

The communication request is connected.

The virtual image of Dr. Batu appeared on the light screen.

He is an image of Dr. Whitebeard from an old anime cartoon.

"Old friend, long time no see. Have you fallen asleep?" Dr. Batu waved and greeted him.

Apparently, Dr. Batu still had some misunderstandings about Shen Bei.

He has been trying to contact Shen Bei, but the person on the other end of the communication is just the SP template.

Dr. Batu thought that Shen Bei might have fallen into a deep sleep because of something.

Shen Bei said calmly, "It seems that Dr. Batu hasn't collected information from the front line for a long time."

"Sorry, front line? I don't understand what you are saying." Dr. Batu's virtual image moved back and forth in the light curtain.

"The Church of Almighty God is your tentacle, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you still remember Bermula?" Shen Bei asked, raising his eyelids.

Dr. Batu said, "I remember... a fence-sitter. That's right, a fence-sitter. Any questions?"

"died."

"It's a pity, but that's all."

"I killed him."

The old man in Dr. Batu's virtual image stretched his head and looked down at Shen Bei's eyes: "You killed him? Did you return after leaving the Church of Almighty God last time?"

Shen Bei shrugged: "It seems that you really haven't communicated with the Church of Almighty God for a while?"

"Our communication is one-way. I don't contact them, and they have no right to contact me."

"Okay, basically, this is what's going on. The leader of Shelter No. 36 here..."

Shen Bei quickly recounted what happened.

It only describes the course of events and briefly mentions Bermuda's death, while everything else is omitted.

After listening, Dr. Batu paced back and forth on the light screen. "I see. Then I must congratulate you on becoming the leader. As for Bemula, although it is a different life form, it is an absolutely valuable research subject for Earth's technological level. But looking at the entire universe, it is just average."

Shen Bei smiled and said, "So, Dr. Batu's focus is on Bermula?"

Dr. Batu shrugged. “What should I be concerned about?”

"As described above, on my way back to Shelter No. 36 from the Church of Almighty God, I met a woman and a child. I believe Dr. Batu definitely remembers them."

Shen Bei stopped there.

Dr. Batu waved his hand, and a chair materialized within the light curtain. He sat down opposite Shen Bei, tapping his fingers on the back of the chair. Musical symbols played, and soothing music drifted across the control room. "Are you finally bringing this up? Now, Mr. Shen Bei, what do you want?"

"Do you have the mosaic?"

"Please note the wording. He's not called Mosaic, but a digital entity. He's the master of the Destroyer-class starship. He's simply returning to his place."

Shen Bei raised his eyebrows: "From a biological point of view, he is my child, and you are the kidnapper."

"No," Dr. Batu explained. "From my perspective, the Overmind has merged into your body, and you are merely responsible for transmitting its genes, activating the Overmind's digital entity, and regaining control of the World-Destroying Starship. In other words..."

Dr. Batu paused, then smiled and said, "You, Shen Bei, are just a tool of the Overlord. How can you claim ownership of the Overlord?"
