Edge of the Apocalypse

The beam gun swept across the entire palace, turning over a group of soldiers who had rushed out from the depths of the palace. Alan and Tarot met up, followed by four or five alien mercenaries. They used the starship as a cover to start the battle with the Kidds. Allen grabbed Tarot and asked, "What are you doing here? Now you should go to the sanctuary and meet up with your compatriots and wait for our fleet to arrive."

"I have already entrusted that matter to another reliable fellow. There is no need for us at the sanctuary, but Miss is waiting for me to save her." Tarot said loudly, not forgetting to lean over and fire a few shots.

Alan shook his head and said, "I came to the palace to save Simeel. You don't have to go this far."

"Miss has said that it is already a great favor for our compatriots to receive His Majesty's rescue, so we have to do what we can. How can we trouble His Majesty with everything?" The old man patted his chest and said, "Besides, even though I'm old, I've never been afraid of anyone during the war."

Alan smiled and suddenly said with a solemn expression, "Saffle is here!"

A mighty aura surged into the sky from the palace, carrying a hint of anger as it swiftly approached them in this direction. A moment later, the gate of the palace exploded. Alan raised his hand to create a grey flame that wrapped around them, bouncing the flying fragments away. Looking at the door, a figure walked out from the crowd. It was Saffle, who was fully armed. He held a Golden Battle Halberd in his hand and pointed in Allen's direction. The tip of the halberd shot out a beam of light. It turned out to be a weapon that could be used from far to near. Allen swept the huge saber in his hand, bouncing off the beam of light and walking out from behind the starship.

Saffle was different from Sidi. He knew Alan's identity when he saw him. He immediately nodded his head and said, "Alright." Then, he said, "I thought who could have invaded the fifth floor so easily and blown up my energy conversion room. So it was the Emperor of Demonic Shadow Empire. Your Majesty Alan, what a great greeting."

"No matter what, I can't compare to His Majesty Saffle. I'm a little flattered to greet me with a Heart of the Stars." Alan said with a smile.

Saffle was shocked. Alan actually knew that the destructive cannon's energy came from the Heart of the Stars. He didn't reveal this to anyone, not even Frius. After seeing Tarot and the others behind the flying ship, Saffle instantly understood, "So that bitch Simeel has already joined you?"

"That's right, so look, I'm here to pick up His Highness Simeel."

Saffle laughed and said, "Simeel is in my palace, but it will not be easy for His Majesty Allen to take her back."

Alan rolled his eyes at Tarot. "Can you find Simeel?"

Tarot nodded, "I did something to His Highness just in case, so that we can track her down."

"Then you guys go find Simeel. I'll greet His Majesty Saffle."

Saffle sneered, "Do you think I'll let them go?"

Alan nodded. "You will. Don't you want the other fragments of the polar map?" He raised his hand and the spatial wrist rotated in a faint light. The two fragments of the secret map appeared in Allen's hand.

Saffle's eyesight was so sharp that he could tell that the two fragments in Allen's hand were genuine. He was shocked and asked, "How did you get them?"

"There's no need to report the specific process to you. Anyway, you just need to know that they are in my hands. If you want to chase after Tarot, I'll destroy them now."

Tarot and a few other mercenaries were already heading in the other direction of the palace. Saffle rolled his eyes and finally nodded, "Even if I don't chase after them, those people can't hope to save Simil."

"If I can't save someone like this, then there's nothing I can do." Alan smiled and put the map fragment back into the spatial wristwheel. In this way, there was only one way for Saffle to obtain the remaining fragments, and that was to kill Alan.

Or, by Alan.

Knowing this, Saffle didn't hold back any longer, and his Qi was fully open, causing the entire palace to tremble. However, Saffle did not stop there. Instead, his aura rose and his ship continued to rise. At this time, with Saffle as the starting point, a circle of light patterns spread out like a circuit of electric plates, and they continued to spread out. As long as it was a metallic substance, it wouldn't be able to stop the spread of the light patterns. On the contrary, the rocks were released by the light patterns. Moments later, the patterns of light had already spread across the ground and surrounding buildings. The places where the patterns of light spread all undulated according to the patterns, separating into countless fragments that constantly rose and fell. Then, they circled around Saffle, like nebulae between the universes.

Alan narrowed his eyes and suddenly dodged forward. The Anthem of Shatter clumsily slashed out. However, in Saffle's eyes, it had a different meaning. He only felt that the giant saber was slashing towards him, as if the entire world was being pushed towards him by it. This was the result of Ellen pulling Spatial Origin Energy, so this seemingly inconspicuous saber strike was extremely powerful and had already reached the realm of great skill and no workmanship. Saffle didn't dare to be careless. He raised his Golden Battle Halberd and the flying metal fragments immediately formed a giant shield and landed in front of Saffle. Allen's huge saber slashed down on the thick shield. The thick shield lit up a complicated pattern, and it actually absorbed about seventy to eighty percent of the power of that saber. Ellen was slightly surprised. When the Shattering Psalm landed on the thick shield, it felt like it landed on a swollen leather bag. It felt like it had nowhere to use its strength. At their level, not only did they compete with each other in terms of combat skills, but they also had a pressure on the spatial Origin Energy. Allen's saber pulled Origin Energy into space. How could Saffle's giant shield not be like this? Otherwise, how could he absorb Allen's saber power? However, even though Saffle wasn't as skillful as Alan in the space he had plundered, he had managed to create this giant metal shield out of thin air, and his abilities were extremely strange.

At this moment, the Saffle Battle Halberd pointed forward and the giant shield suddenly transformed into a turret. The turret had multiple barrels, and it fired several guns at the same time without Saffle's operation. Looking at the ordinary self-propelled turret, the energy beam that shot out from the muzzle was not a beam of energy, but a spatial Origin Energy, so it could not be ignored. Alan looked at Saffle in astonishment. The Kidds were famous for their fanaticism for machinery. He didn't expect Saffle's ability to create such mechanical units out of thin air. It could be said that this fanaticism was exerted to the extreme.

Where is this?

When Simeel opened his eyes, his head slowly spun like a rusty gear. But very quickly, the girl's eyes became clear, and she got rid of the confused look that she had just awakened from. She remembered that she had been interrogated by Saffle, and now it seemed that she should be in the Kidd operating room. The Kidds' operating cabins were capable of performing a variety of complex types of operations, and it seemed like they had examined their bodies thoroughly.

Simir couldn't help but feel glad that he was still alive. After all, nano-robots and the like were nothing. She was still alive. Either the examination had not been completed, or something else had happened. Saffle had no time to pay attention to her. Simir felt that the latter was more likely. She checked her robotic arm and found that everything was normal with the battery taken away. Simir smiled and activated the backup battery of the robot arm.

A moment later, the hatch of the surgical cabin flew out.
