Chapter 548: Return With a Bang
Bobo leaned over his starship’s door to peek at the portal to the Space Monster World. It had been a while since lightning stopped falling. The portal was slowly repairing itself—its defenses had held—but the surrounding space was much worse off. All ambient Dao had been sucked dry for endless light years around it. The heavenly tribulation must have been cataclysmic.
Thankfully, that wasn’t anything Bobo needed to worry about. He was just a little B-Grade scout of the Church, sent here to make sure the portal was alright.
It is, he confirmed. Time to return. Good job, Bobo.
“Halt!” a voice crossed space. “In the name of the Immortals, put your weapons down and walk over slowly!”
Bobo froze mid-step. He turned to find a bulky man hovering behind him. An early A-Grade.
I’m so dead.
Bobo had no backup. It was just him in one of the lightest starships available. If he could get inside and close the door, he’d be safe, but would the enemy A-Grade give him the chance?
Cutting costs my ass, he fumed inwardly. The Immortals can afford A-Grade scouts, so why did the Church send me!?
He debated surrendering. Couldn’t be worse than instant death. Before he could reply, however, a purple missile smashed into the side of the enemy A-Grade’s head, taking it clean off his shoulders. Body and head exploded, leaving only a streaking purple line which raced for the end of the universe. Bobo gasped, then turned to look at its source.
