What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

"Hahahaha, did you guys see Aquinas's expression? He really thought that the little girl with the mind-mimicry would guarantee victory, and he even wanted to kill all of us. How ruthless."

Morse sat in his seat as if he were half-paralyzed, laughing without any regard for his image. Even as he laughed, a trace of the killing intent he had brought from the field remained in his eyes.

If Aquinas hadn't stopped her in time, Jiang Yue would have indeed intended to kill all the snake clan members, not just one ice-type ability user.

Unfortunately, Aquinas still had some sense and immediately called for a halt.

While Morse and the others were celebrating, Lu Yize frowned. Aquinas had called a halt too quickly; at least he was certain that Aquinas hadn't used his full strength yet.

The fact that the Serpent Clan could so easily give up the rewards of the Superpower Competition clearly indicates that they have much more to gain. Lu Yize told Chen Mingzhang to prepare for the worst, as he estimated that the Insect Clan and the Serpent Clan would make further moves after the Superpower Competition.

Chen Mingzhang led Zheng Lin, Zheng Mu, and others to make arrangements, while Xie Hongyang wiped his wound and followed Chen Ping to make other arrangements.

"Morse, Jiang Yue will participate in the next match. The opponent in the next round is not too strong, and it will most likely be just a formality."

Morse ran a hand through his hair and said with a touch of narcissism, "After these few matches, I'm now a well-known figure on the StarNet, a top contender. Maybe I can even develop a relationship with these aliens. To be honest, I really don't know what it's like to be an alien."

Lu Yize wasn't interested in Morse's curiosity to try everything, and even if he did have a child with the alien, it was none of his business.

"Keep it under control during the competition and don't cause any unsightly news."

"Hey, I was just talking nonsense. I'm not really interested in aliens. I'm too old to have that many thoughts anymore."

Although Morse is said to be old, the real reason is that after entering the eighth rank, the influence of his mutated ability has decreased, and his mental power has become the main factor, allowing him to control his physical desires.

No longer driven by desire, like a wild animal, he is now not interested in the Xenomorph, but he is indeed quite interested in its high technology.

Xian Wenrui was more interested in these things, and the two of them made an appointment to go to the mall together. Morse is really popular now, and they encountered a lot of fans not long after they went out.

There were also people sent from who-knows-who, secretly trying to find out the strength of the other people on their planet, especially the human named Lu Yize whom Aquinas feared.

While Morse and Xian Wenrui were surrounded, Lu Yize walked by with Jiang Yue, who was wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face.

Although her face didn't become as famous as Morse's, it still gained some attention. As an eighth-tier mental ability user, she already possessed mental mimicry abilities, which showed how dangerous she was.

Not to mention ordinary contestants, even the scions of the eight great families ranked Jiang Yue's level of danger above Morse and Xie Hongyang.

Lu Yize took Jiang Yue into the mall to select newly released starships, which would be perfect to disassemble and take back for research.

They also entered the auction house under Vincent's arrangement. In the Federation, besides superpowers and mental strength, there are many ways to save one's life, such as using mechs.

If you encounter the right mech, you can improve your combat power across levels. For this reason, the Federation holds a mech competition every five years.

However, because the visual impact is not as good as that of the superpower competition, the mecha competition is far less popular than the superpower competition. The superpower competition also explicitly prohibits the use of mechas as aids, since many aliens come from remote planets and are far less well-equipped than aliens closer to the main planet.

If mechs were to actually join the competition, they would basically have no chance of winning. Just like mech competitions are mostly attended by outstanding scions of prestigious families, with very few from ordinary backgrounds.

Although Xian Wenrui, Zhang Wenjing, and others have studied mechs, they are still just getting started. Lu Yize has studied the mechs of the Zerg and Serpent races, and each race's mechs are different.

Each mech is modified to suit its own race's characteristics. Lu Yize's current goal is to buy these high-end mechs and study them thoroughly.

Jiang Yue and Lu Yize sat in the private room. Lu Yize looked down at the auction scene through the glass, gently stroking the nine-tailed fox that had appeared on the field earlier.

Vincent was in the same private room as them, and subconsciously kept his distance from the mental mimic. There was no way around it; it was like a sword without a sheath, and if he wasn't careful, his mental sea could be destroyed.

Vincent glanced at Lu Yize, who was touching the mental mimicry as if nothing had happened, and at the fox mental mimicry that was particularly close to Lu Yize. The mental mimicry represented the truest thoughts of the mental power owner.

Whether it's closeness or dislike, it's all an undisguised exposure. Therefore, in order to prevent others from prying into their true thoughts, people with mental mimicry abilities rarely release their mental mimicry abilities in front of others.

She wouldn't be like this now, exposing her weaknesses so completely. Although... Vincent didn't think Lu Yize was any weakness of Jiang Yue. If someone tried to mess with Lu Yize, they would probably suffer a worse fate than if they directly provoked Jiang Yue.

Since that's the case, there's really no need to hide it. Vincent withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to how the mimic fox was acting cute and spoiled in Lu Yize's arms. His main focus was on the items being auctioned below.

Not long after the auction started, Vincent had already won several nice and satisfactory items, including a five-gram black crystal.

He couldn't care less about anything else, fearing something might happen to the black crystal. He immediately left the private room to retrieve the black crystal he had bid a high price for. He never expected to be so lucky, encountering such a rare gem so soon after the start!

Although it was a bit strange that the auction house didn't put this item at the end, Vincent couldn't care less about such trivial matters.

He had been stuck at his current level for a long time, but black crystals were hard to come by. Being able to buy these five grams was a huge help to him.

Vincent was in a hurry to get the black crystal. After he left, only he and Jiang Yue were left in the room. He knew that there were surveillance cameras in this private room, and he also knew that the aristocratic families were probably watching them right now.

Suddenly, the camera went completely black. The noble families watching from outside the lens initially thought there was something wrong with the camera. But the next moment, a pair of vertical pupils stared coldly at the camera, and a black python flicked its tongue before lunging at the lens.

Those off-camera were so startled that they instinctively took a step back. The camera lens was instantly struck, causing it to flicker with electricity, leaving only a patch of black after the damage.
