Chapter 290: Chapter 274: Arrival of the Warship
According to Yan Qing, the Empire forces will arrive within a day.
To ensure the capture operation goes smoothly, Qin Tian first thought of focusing attention on the spaceship’s pilot cabin.
If the cabin cannot respond promptly when the forces arrive, the warship can easily break through the spaceship’s hatch, allowing the Spiritualist forces to board and initiate a melee.
However, the inside and outside of the cabin are protected by guards, and the guarding forces are strong, so preparations are needed to breach the cabin.
...
Swoosh.
Qin Tian shuttled through the void, entering the Poisonous Widow’s room.
"Empire forces will arrive soon."
Qin Tian spoke, and the Poisonous Widow felt a tightness in her heart, with a trace of worry appearing on her face.
She is a wanted criminal of the Empire, and even though she has pledged allegiance, her past wrongdoings cannot be compensated for. She worries that after the Empire annihilates the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves, she will still have to pay for her past crimes.
For instance, imprisonment!
Through the Soul Seal, Qin Tian knows what is worrying the Poisonous Widow. Indeed, as merely a Royal Colonel, he does not have the power to absolve her of her crimes. Moreover, she is not like the past Li Qi, who once made an indelible contribution during an Evil God Sacrifice that nearly destroyed the entire continent, thus turning her crimes into merit and gaining a new identity.
However, if the goal is merely to protect the Poisonous Widow, he does have a way.
"Soon I will send you to an alternate dimension where you can live normally, but your physical strength and energy will gradually be extracted and you cannot stay for too long," Qin Tian said.
What!
The Poisonous Widow’s eyes revealed deep shock, knowing the master possesses such remarkable ability to control a space where living people can survive.
"Get ready!"
Qin Tian placed his hand on the Poisonous Widow’s shoulder and activated his ability, sending her into the Yang Space.
This was his first time sending a living person into the Yang Space, and he wanted to see the feedback from her after entering.
"Buzz—"
A peculiar buzzing sound occurred beside her ears, and the Poisonous Widow felt her vision blur as the surrounding scenery instantly changed.
The previously dim cabin vanished, replaced by an endless pale golden space. There was neither sky nor earth, only a gentle golden radiance filling every inch of space, as if immersed in liquid sunlight.
"This..."
The Poisonous Widow instinctively reached out to touch the surroundings, feeling slight resistance at her fingertips, like being immersed in some viscous liquid, yet still able to breathe freely. She looked down at her body, surprised to find a faint golden glow shimmering on her skin, as if coated with a thin veil.
Suddenly, a peculiar sense of extraction arose.
She clearly felt her spiritual energy slowly but steadily being drained, like sand in an hourglass, gradually absorbed by this space.
More bizarrely, this extraction was not painful, but carried a certain odd comfort, like the whole body being cleansed.
"The master was right..." muttered the Poisonous Widow, trying to move her limbs. Her movements were slower than in the outside world but entirely within an acceptable range.
She attempted to operate spiritual energy, discovering that although energy was slowly draining, it did not hinder her from exerting abilities in the short term.
In the distance, amid the golden "mist," some vague outlines could be glimpsed—these were items and materials Qin Tian had stored in the space, quietly suspended and similarly covered with a faint golden glow.
Further away, the space seemed endless, with only eternal golden light.
Swoosh.
The Poisonous Widow returned to the room.
"How about it, how long do you think you can last there?" Qin Tian asked.
The Poisonous Widow thought for a moment and said, "Five to seven days shouldn’t be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian nodded slightly.
In the Yang Space, there exists an "Energy Suction" mechanism that continuously extracts energy from living beings present there. The stronger the power, the longer the stay. Using the Poisonous Widow, a Tier Five Spiritualist as a reference, he could roughly estimate the survival time for individuals with various levels of power in the Yang Space.
"Prepare yourself, bring your stuff." Qin Tian said seriously, "When the forces arrive, I will send you into this space and bring you out when it’s safe around."
"Yes, master."
The Poisonous Widow’s eyes glimmered with delight, knowing this would allow her to escape smoothly.
After leaving the Poisonous Widow’s room, Qin Tian used invisibility to sneak into the ship’s kitchen, where hundreds of intelligent robots were working, with a Star Thief Squad patrolling.
But given their strength, they naturally couldn’t detect Qin Tian.
Qin Tian added a colorless, odorless poison mixture into the ingredients. This poison would cause no reaction upon entering the body, but when combined with another inductive toxin, it would instantly cause massive damage within the body.
Qin Tian was not worried about innocent slaves being harmed by the poison.
On the spaceship, slaves were only given the most ordinary energy paste and energy bars, even the ace warriors of the Bloody Arena only had energy paste with better flavors.
After that, Qin Tian opened the Void Gate and quietly delivered some food to Xiong.
All preparations were complete, now begins the waiting phase.
"Hundred Hunt Star Thieves."
Recalling those bloody and brutal scenes, a surge of murderous intent erupted from Qin Tian’s eyes.
"Your death day has come."
...
The next day
