Chapter 506: Item Presentation
Empty Star City was abuzz with activity. Jack surveyed the crowded space around him, the main square of the city—unimaginably called the Empty Star Square. Everything here was named like that. He assumed creative space monsters were shunned.
Speaking of creative space monsters.
“GET OUT OF MY MASTER’S WAY, YOU CONSTIPATED TURDS, OR I WILL DEVOUR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES!” Dolly bellowed into the crowd, sending terrified space monsters fleeing left and right. They were creating a huge scene. Jack wanted to cringe and tell her to take it easy, but this was how dignified space monsters acted—what would be distasteful in human society was the norm here, and vice versa.
It wasn’t just them. Several mounts of important individuals were loudly announcing their presence across the square, forcing the less powerful space monsters to huddle in the space between them like packed sardines. Of course, they didn’t enjoy that. Jack saw multiple fights break out and end with the death of one party. The square floor was already awash with blood.
Tomorrow was the day of the Empty Star Auction, a centennial event held in Empty Star City. Several A-Grades had gathered, according to Jack’s information, so the entire city was in a festive mood. To further this excitement, the city officials had decided to publish a list with some of the auction’s high-end items a day early. That was right now.
A space monster which looked like a floating human mouth appeared over the central stage. It licked its lips. Then, its voice echoed over the square, passing over everything like a thunderclap.
“Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the Empty Star Auction’s item presentation!”
Its voice was terrifyingly loud. Some weaker space monsters bled from the ears and had to flee the square. The earth shook like an earthquake. Thankfully, all the buildings were constructed of sturdy materials, so they held—which wasn’t a coincidence.
Jack resisted the urge to clasp his ears. As annoying as the voice was, he was a space monster now—he couldn’t show a single scrap of weakness. He only made his tail swish loudly—he remained transformed into a Double Devil—to express his irritation.
