In the starry sky, seven medium-sized spaceships drifted along. In a retro-mechanical hall, men and women of various skin colors in leather combat uniforms were dancing happily, drinking wine, and listening to explosive music.
The music was endless. Salin sat in the main seat, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and drinking from time to time. With the other hand, he held a pink-skinned and slender woman, enjoying the day's celebration party.
His bearded face was full of enjoyment. There was a scar on his face, a weapon at his waist, and the desperate people who were imprisoned in cages not far away, crying, made him extremely happy.
He was a space pirate with more than 1,500 men and five medium-sized spaceships. This was already a pretty good armed force among space pirates, and he was a little famous in the space pirate group.
But the only thing that made him unhappy was that he had wanted to join the Ravagers several times but was rejected by the so-called leader. The Ravagers and the Plunderers are two of the largest groups of space pirates.
The Ravagers engage in theft, smuggling, and they act as criminals, mercenaries, and bounty hunters. There are nearly one hundred Ravager factions around the Milky Way. Each faction has its own captain and leads the team's actions.
The members under their command have skilled combat and excellent driving skills. They often travel between the stars with interests as their priority and are commissioned by various forces and civilizations to seize treasures in the universe and resell them. Although the name "Ravager" sounds cruel, they have a bottom line. Some tasks that help the evil will not be accepted at all. They belong to the neutral justice camp and have a very strange sense of honor.
Of course, this is pure nonsense to Salin. What bottom line? What about helping the evil? It's all a bunch of empty talk. For Salin, money and power are the most important. In order to achieve the goal, human trafficking, robbing merchants, and killing are all fair game.
Salin thinks that the Ravagers are just a bunch of hypocrites. Aren't smuggling, theft, and being criminals also crimes?
What bottom line? Since you have a bottom line, why are you a space pirate? What qualifications do you have to be called a space pirate?
Thinking of this, Salin, who was originally in a good mood, was furious. He roughly grabbed the pink-skinned woman sitting on his lap and pulled her into his arms. Then he began to bite her.
The woman didn't dare to resist and could only smile. She knew very well that if she made this terrible space pirate captain angry, she would die miserably.
"We got a lot from the robbery this time. Not only did we get two merchant ships, but also a lot of goods. We also got a lot of money from these people. We made a fortune. Hahaha."
"Yes, it's all money, a lot of money, we made a fortune."
"Hahaha, it's really cool to follow the boss."
"Of course, who is our boss? He is called a butcher."
"Hehe, we will have a good life in the future."
"But we still have to be careful of those rising stars, those guys who have nothing to do and like to make trouble for us the most."
"Humph, sooner or later, we will kill those rising stars."
"Although the Nova Empire has been severely suppressed in recent years, it is not something we can compare to, so don't brag about it."
There was laughter and joy in the hall, and all kinds of swear words were being thrown around, but Salin liked such scenes, because every party represented his harvest. But the happiness did not last long. Suddenly, the originally bright hall turned red, and then there were rapid alarms.
"A huge energy body is detected moving toward the fleet at superluminal speed."
"Boss, something is approaching us at high speed. The energy threshold cannot be detected, but it is huge."
A subordinate hurriedly ran to Salin and shouted. Salin roughly pushed the pink-skinned woman off his body, quickly stood up, and was about to walk toward the central cockpit.
The rest of the subordinates who were originally immersed in women, wine, and happiness also stood up immediately, well-trained and ready, waiting for Captain Salin's orders at any time. However, just before taking two steps, suddenly, a terrifying and vast force fell out of thin air and pressed everyone present.
The space suddenly stopped halfway, and everyone was frozen in place, not only on the main spaceship, but also everyone on the other spaceships.
Their bodies seemed to be out of control, only their consciousness and thinking still existed. "Damn, what is this? Why can't I move?"
"Damn it, move, move quickly."
"It's so heavy, I feel like I'm going to die." There was no sound, even the exciting music was turned off because of the alarm. Everything seemed so calm, and all the Ravagers were full of fear in their eyes.
Salin was also very angry. The fact that he was able to create such a huge team and create the name of butcher meant that his own ability was very outstanding.
It can be said that even without weapons, he could easily kill fully armed subordinates with his own strength. Because of his strength, those subordinates would be loyal to him.
Of course, this loyalty was limited to his strength. Once one day he lost that strength and his ruthless methods, then the gang of jackals under his command would rush up and tear him apart.
Putting this aside, what made Salin unbelievable was the inexplicable and powerful force that directly controlled and suppressed everyone, including him. He didn't see who it was. What kind of person can have this ability?
There are many powerful people in the universe—gods, executioners, monsters, etc.—but each of them has a name and a personality.
The universe is so big that no one can fully explore it even now. There are countless galaxies in the Milky Way alone.
So without deliberately offending a certain god system, the probability of encountering this level of life is infinitely close to zero. You might not even encounter it in your lifetime.
Was he so 'lucky' to meet it today? Powerful life, with a terrifyingly high upper limit, such as a Heavenly Father-level god, can easily destroy a planet.
What is this concept? He and even the several spaceships he was proud of were just a group of slightly larger bugs in front of this level of existence.
After countless years of development, technology has accumulated to a terrifying level. Many advanced civilizations also have weapons that can destroy planets.
Powerful technology allows these civilizations to resist or even rival Heavenly Father-level gods without special gods. But Salin was just a space pirate leader.
How could he have such a level of weapon technology? "Damn it." Salin felt sad and angry about his luck.
He should be sad, because three figures fell from the sky, through the ceiling of the spaceship, and landed in the middle of the hall of the spaceship, wearing gorgeous and sacred golden armor, with an elegant and perfect temperament, and a handsome and beautiful appearance.
The people who came were Salina, Lisa, and Basang. Basang closed his eyes, with beautiful black long hair.
Although he closed his eyes, he could "see" the whole scene of the spaceship hall, and could also "see" the ugliness gathered there, and hear the sound of crying, despair, and sadness.
"The place where sin gathers." Basang whispered softly. His heart was pure, as if there was no dust. "It is indeed very sinful."
Salina's eyes swept across the whole scene, and her eyes paused for half a second on the people imprisoned on the edge, and then cast her eyes on Salin, who was wearing a suit. Salin was facing away from them because he was going to the central cockpit.
Without seeing her move, the invisible power caused Salin to fly backward and land in front of everyone. Although the rest of the people could not move their bodies, they still had their thoughts and consciousness.
Everyone's pupils were slightly dilated, and they looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in front of them with shocked eyes.
That kind of sacred and bright temperament was so radiant that people couldn't look directly at it. If you looked at it for a while, you would feel your soul was piercing.
"So beautiful."
"I suddenly want to repent. I deserve to die. I killed so many people and committed heinous crimes. I should go to hell and atone for my sins in the most painful way."
"My head hurts, who are they?" Everyone had different thoughts, but most people were wailing silently. The feeling of a splitting headache was worse than death, and they even wanted to die to get rid of it.
Many people who looked at Basang were involuntarily affected by the pure power in their hearts, and a sea of repentance arose spontaneously.
As the closest to facing Basang and the other two, Salin did not have any repentance in his heart. It was not because his will was so firm, but because at that moment, his heart was filled with fear—an incomparable fear.
The gap in life levels had reached an unimaginable level. What would it feel like to face this level of life? He felt it now. Basang was more than two meters tall.
The tallest of the three people in Salina was Basang, at 1.87 meters tall. In terms of body shape and height, compared with Salin, who was like a humanoid brown bear, he looked very "delicate."
But in Salin's eyes, Salina and the other two, who should have been looked down upon by him, were more like a giant—a giant with blazing flames. He felt like he was standing in front of three Flame Giants, and he was being burned by the scorching flames.
The burning pain and torture constantly stimulated his soul. But he couldn't even wail. He could only watch and silently endure this scene.
"Ha, I was still thinking about how to get some money, and the stars blessed me, but I met a guy who delivered it to my door."
Lisa's tone was a little cheerful. Neither Salina nor Basang spoke, and the invisible spiritual power invaded Salin's memory.
In just a moment, even Salin didn't notice that many of his memories had been read by Salina, Basang, and Lisa.
"The Kree Empire, the Skrull Empire, the Shi'ar Empire, the Nova Empire, the Sovereign, the Ravagers, the Plunderers, the Space Pirates... they just know some information about the Milky Way?" Salina shook her head.
"He is just a space pirate, active in the Milky Way all year round, so it is normal that he doesn't know much about the information outside the Milky Way," Basang said softly.
"Forget it, it's good to know some, but it seems that the rest of the information needs to be purchased,"
Salina said after thinking for a while. In fact, with the ability of the three, they could have reached a planet to find an intermediary, read their memory, or manipulate them, and it wouldn't have cost them anything. Buying and selling is a kind of order.
The order of the sanctuary plus the moral bottom line of the three people made them unwilling to do such things without Leon's clear order.
As for why they came to Salin, the three of them were flying at superluminal speed in the universe to find planets, and they had a perception of Salin's spaceship, as well as the person who was imprisoned and was about to be sold on the merchant ship.
This situation was enough for the three of them to judge something. Don't say how domineering the three of them are. That's just how the nature of this universe is. "It's quite troublesome. You need to set up an information data account to store currency and transfer payments after spending money."
Lisa complained, but Salina and Basang didn't say anything. Salina looked at the imprisoned caravan members, stretched out her finger, and a golden light flashed, accurately smashing the cage, turning it into a pile of black powder and dissipating. The collar called a neural controller on their necks also disappeared. The captured caravan members found that they and their companions were free and could move.
The captain of the leading merchant ship was a race with a similar form to humans, and his skin was close to that of Earthlings.
He stood up and looked at Salina and the other two who were looking over. He immediately realized something.
Although he was afraid, he still plucked up the courage to walk in front of the three, bowed, and expressed his gratitude.
"Dear sir, thank you very much for your kindness. My name is Heshan. If you need me, please feel free to tell me."
Heshan didn't know whether these three great masters released them out of kindness, but he would not speculate. He would only treat them with humility and respect.
Because any of his words and deeds would affect his life and the lives of everyone on the merchant ship.
"Don't be nervous, where is your merchant ship going?"
"To a planet called X56, which is the destination of our merchant ship's cargo delivery."
"Which force does this planet belong to?"
"A colony planet affiliated with the Shi'ar Empire."
"If I want to get some information, where can I buy it?"
"Sure." Under Salina's inquiry, Heshan answered truthfully, but Lisa interrupted: "Why don't we look for the guy called the Collector?"
"Huh?"
