Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 952 - 952: Section 943 - Acceptance

Among the Lin Family's concubines, there are non-human entities, which Chen Fei has been aware of for some time. A member of the Lin Family once revealed to him that one of the concubines seems to be the divine breed "Sagali."

So the intelligence from the Command Center is not without basis, but its accuracy is still debatable. After all, if there was a real intention to defect, there wouldn't have been a necessity over three decades ago to create the miraculous alchemical artifact "Halo," sealing off the space rift to Cangqiong Star and simultaneously establishing the stellar link "Dimensional Gate" between Cangqiong Star and Blue Star.

Blue Star Humans aren't completely unaware of the "Sagali" civilization, but their knowledge is still limited due to the lack of advanced interstellar transportation means. Currently, the ability to connect Cangqiong Star with Emerald Star via the "Dimensional Gate" is the most they can achieve.

It's equally uncertain how much the Parasitic Species, who quietly planted their "Seed Nest" on Blue Star, know about Blue Star. If the Lin Family, where the "Lord of the Sky" resides, colludes with external enemies, it would indeed cause great trouble.

"Alright, I'm in!"

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted the mission.

He also wants to uncover the truth behind the "Lord of the Sky's" defection. Participating in this interception mission might give him the chance to ask in person.

The mission directive from Blue Star Sovereignty is to intercept, not kill on the spot. Besides considering the significant contributions made to end the Three Realms War years ago, there is also the concern about the relations with the current Empress of the Slan Dynasty, hence a need to show some respect.

"So now, stand by, and don't go bird-watching anymore."

The Command Center's team leader, a young lady, prepared to end the call.

The Monk's previous excuse providing cover for Chen Fei and others was flawless. After all, the more than three thousand Pure Light Sparrows have bird rights: eating, drinking, excreting, sleeping, playing, and it's only right they enjoy the necessary benefits and treatment. Their importance is indisputable; they count as a crucial combat force onboard the Giant Battleship.

No one now underestimates these seemingly ordinary magical beasts, the sparrows. Individual weakness is irrelevant; with enough numbers, even a Giant Dragon has to retreat. According to records from Cangqiong Star, how many magical beasts can kill a Giant Dragon in seconds? Hardly any.

As the old saying on Cangqiong Star goes, even the smallest Pure Light Sparrow holds the pride of a magical beast.

"Hold on, there's another issue."

Chen Fei quickly stopped the young lady from the Command Center.

"Please proceed!"

The communications group leader replied with a serious tone.

"Is it appropriate for Miyoshi and Mr. Brown to know about this mission?"

Miyoshi Xuesen and S-Class superpower user Heseman Brown are practically always on the Giant Battleship's bridge. As the Captain, Chen Fei isn't lonely, quite the opposite, with constant hustle and bustle every day.

The three of them are stationed on the bridge all day. If Chen Fei participates in the "Lord of the Sky" interception mission, there's no avoiding the others finding out.

"Uh, hold on..."

The young lady immediately went to seek clarification. In less than ten seconds, she received confirmation and replied: "They can be informed, but please don't disclose any details."

"Understood, there's no problem."

Chen Fei felt assured inside.

He turned to instruct the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" to notify the Monk and the S-Class superpower user to return.

The disheveled Miyoshi Xuesen and Heseman Brown, grumbling, entered the bridge, holding empty tea cups and snack plates, staggering as they came in.

"Chirp!"

There was even a Pure Light Sparrow bathing in the Monk's tea cup. Noticing the change in surroundings, it flapped its little wings and soared back to the "Sparrow Nest" cabin.

Under normal circumstances, these playful little creatures wouldn't fly into the bridge on their own, usually frolicking in other cabins or corridors of the Giant Battleship, with the park cabin, where greenery is densest, being their most frequent haunt.

Though Pure Light Sparrows are inherently timid and cowardly, once familiar, their courage grows exponentially, each becoming an affectionate little demon. Otherwise, they wouldn't frequently land all over Chen Fei, let alone openly snatch tea and snacks from the Monk and the S-Class superpower user, or use their tea cups as a bath.

One is an A-level Dark Elemental Psychic, the other an S-Class Space Series Ability User, yet they can do nothing against these sparrows.

Chen Fei: "..."

What egregious acts did you two commit to be bullied so by mere Pure Light Sparrows?

Alright!

More than three thousand Human Rank Sixth Stage Pure Light Sparrows do make a formidable magical beast group, one normal people would avoid, lucky if not bullied, with no chance of exacting revenge.

"Ahem!"

Miyoshi Xuesen placed his wrecked tea cup and snack plate on the ground, leisurely tidying up his monk robes, quickly reverting to the appearance of an accomplished and dignified monk, pressing his palms together and calmly intoning a Buddhist prayer.

"Namo Amitabha!"

He seemed to overlook the countless tiny claw prints all over his gleaming bald head, making the monk's facade notably off-key.

The Monk fared relatively better; the S-Class Space Series Ability User's hair became a veritable bird's nest. It's truly mystifying how the Pure Light Sparrows achieved this in such a short time.

"These birds have gone mad."

Noticing Chen Fei looking at him, Heseman Brown dejectedly plucked tiny feathers clinging to him and complained, "'Rookie,' you ought to control those little birds."

He didn't manage to drink a single sip of tea, with half snatched by the sparrows; the rest became bath water, in which they splashed, spraying him all over. The snacks were ravaged in the blink of an eye, not leaving even a sesame seed-sized crumb.

"Me?"

Chen Fei pointed to himself, shaking his head vehemently to shirk responsibility.

"It's impossible to manage; dealing with just Xiao Jiu is headache enough, let alone controlling over three thousand."

Truth be told, once Light-element magical beasts activate their offensive spells, they're formidable adversaries within the same rank. Without considering Space Series and Psychic Series, as well as the naturally adversarial Dark System, they can easily overpower other elemental opponents.

Xiao Jiu, with dual-elemental talents, easily stands out among magical beasts of all Human Orders.

Expecting a mere B-level special ability user to control such powerful magical beasts—think again.

Mr. Brown paused, then said, "Alright! You should open another passage for us to avoid, no, dodge!"

If we can't beat them, surely we can evade them, right?!

The S-Class superpower user capitulated quickly, his psi skills inherently unsuited for combat. Facing these unreasonable Pure Light Sparrows was like a scholar confronting soldiers—logic was irrelevant.

Miyoshi Monk, though silent, wore an expression echoing the same thoughts, clearly supporting Heseman Brown's suggestion.

"Uh! Fine!"

Chen Fei pointed beside the bridge cabin door, where a section of the floor sank, raising a semi-circle of handrails. A staircase led down below the deck, bypassing the "Sparrow Nest" cabin, creating a direct path to the bridge.

"I just communicated with the Command Center, and I've secured partial access rights for you to the mission details. Let's deliberate together."

Returning to the main issue, Chen Fei reiterated his earlier conversation with the Command Center.
