Su Ming learns about the sacrifice Long Xian made and Isabella's difficult situation with the Metal Spark. Later, Ilyas's life signs become critical, and Isabella reveals that Ilyas can only be saved by merging with its twin entity, Irene Liss.

"Ilyas has suffered such serious trauma, Irene Liss must have sensed it. She should be hovering around the perimeter of the Third Planet now. You should take Ilyas aboard the ship, leave the Third Planet, and release her into the starry sky. Irene Liss will naturally sense it and come over immediately."

Isabella gave a specific plan.

"Thank you, Lady Isabella."

Su Ming expressed gratitude towards Isabella.

"No need to thank me, I’m simply returning the favor for bringing me on board, remember our agreement!"

Isabella said coldly to Su Ming.

"Don’t worry, even if I die, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

Su Ming replied with determination.

In fact, even if Isabella hadn’t said it, Su Ming wouldn’t have let the Herares Clan Leader off.

"Good!"

Isabella responded with satisfaction.

Su Ming then turned to Rhein.

"Rhein, move Ilyas onto the Thunder Extreme!"

"Okay!"

Rhein responded immediately.

...

Several hours later.

The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme flew out from the Third Planet.

In the central control room.

Su Ming sat in the command chair, with a holographic image of the external starry sky projected in front of him.

Large curvature interference devices were densely packed around the Third Planet, sealing off the whole region of space.

Fortresses, defensive weapons, ships, and mecha formed vast defensive lines, encircling the Third Planet layer upon layer.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the entire Third Planet was wrapped up like an iron barrel.

Su Ming was profoundly shocked to see such a luxurious defensive setup.

At that moment, a communication request popped up.

Timi glanced at it and then said to Su Ming.

"Lord Su Ming, the headquarters of the Third Planet’s defensive perimeter has sent a communication request."

"Connect it."

Su Ming said calmly.

"Yes!"

Timi operated quickly.

Swish!

The communication image of Commander Soraya appeared, and she was also taken aback upon seeing Su Ming.

"Su Ming?"

"Commander Soraya."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Is your health better?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern!"

"Hmm, where are you heading? The Federation has issued a ban, no ships are allowed to go out."

"I’m going to handle some affairs."

"Alright, then take care."

Commander Soraya didn’t make things too difficult for Su Ming.

"Thank you!"

Su Ming nodded.

Commander Soraya then cut off the communication, allowing the troops along the way to clear a path.

Afterward, the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme headed towards the Tidal Star Sea.

More than an hour later.

The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme traveled to an uninhabited part of the starry sky.

In the cargo hold, Su Ming stood in front of the biological tank, quietly gazing at Ilyas.

At this time, Timi’s virtual projection appeared, respectfully speaking.

"Lord Su Ming, we have arrived!"

Su Ming reached out to touch the biological tank, speaking heavily.

"Open the exit, send Ilyas out."

"Yes, starting the operation!"

Timi immediately gave the order.

The enormous ship of the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme opened a large exit.

Su Ming activated the Symbiotic Armor to cover his entire body, watching as Rhein and the others cautiously sent the biological tank containing Ilyas out.

"Phew~"

Su Ming exhaled lightly, then turned and left towards the central control room.

Soon, he arrived at the central control room and sat in the command chair.

"Lord Su Ming, everything is ready!"

Timi said respectfully.

"Begin!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

Rhein and the others then activated the self-destruct sequence of the biological tank.

Crack!

The entire biological tank shattered, and Ilyas’s broken body floated in the starry sky.

Su Ming observed quietly through optical imagery.

An hour, two hours, time continued to pass.

Celeste said anxiously.

"Strange, why haven’t they come? Are they not coming?"

"Let’s wait a bit longer."

Su Ming replied patiently.

Then suddenly, the scanning device emitted a piercing alarm.

"Warning: detected an abnormal spatial reaction!"

"Warning: detected high-intensity Kais biological reaction!"

...

"Here they come!"

Timi immediately reported.

Su Ming calmly looked towards the distant starry sky.

He saw the space ripple, and then Irene Liss appeared out of nowhere, emitting terrifying cold, as if the surrounding space was about to freeze.

Irene Liss glanced at the half-dead Ilyas and then lifted her head to look at the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme.

Su Ming and Irene Liss seemed to be staring at each other through the void.

Then Irene Liss extended her left hand, dividing into numerous tendrils to wrap around Ilyas, and tore open a spatial rift, flying straight inside.

The dark starry sky returned to tranquility again.

Su Ming exhaled lightly, then turned to Timi and said.

"Let’s go back."

"Okay!"

Timi nodded in agreement.

...

Xi Guang Laboratory.

Rhein pushed Su Ming into the room.

"Rhein, I’m a bit tired, you should go rest too."

Su Ming said wearily.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Rhein noticed Su Ming was not in a good mood and asked worriedly.

Su Ming was about to say something when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Su Ming said, puzzled.

The door opened, and Mia walked in with two bottles of liquor and some braised snacks, grinning.

"Su Ming, I’m here to see you!"

Su Ming and Rhein both looked at the items in Mia’s hands, bewildered.

Rhein, returning to his senses, quickly asked.

"Teacher, what are you up to?"

"I’m here to see Su Ming, what’s the matter?"

"Well, who’s ever heard of someone bringing liquor to see a patient?"

"Shoo shoo, what do kids know! Listen, a bit of alcohol and some meat will make Su Ming recover faster!"
