Chapitre 1367. Unexpected deal
The streaming particles of light formed an endless tunnel in front of him. At the end, there was only one point of light, and time and space were stretched into an endless line in his senses. He did not know how far he had traveled or how much time he had spent, but it seemed to him that it had only lasted an instant.
Countless strange scenes flashed past outside the tunnel, and his body seemed to turn into smoke.For a moment, he ceased to feel the existence of his body, and all his senses, which were used to explore the world, were mixed together. However, in the next moment, all his senses returned to normal, and his vision suddenly changed. He arrived in a new space.
An endless black mist enveloped the area, and red lightning flashed from time to time. It was like dark clouds in which lightning was brewing, or dark clouds from a volcanic eruption.It was like the end of the world.
The black mountain range, flowing with scarlet lava-like light, floated like an island in the black mist. The mountain peak in the center was steep and high, and a rusty dark gold chain was wrapped around it, forming spiral patterns. It was connected to a black crystal-like platform suspended in the air, and a giant black figure the size of a mountain sat on it. Countless red eyes simultaneously turned and looked at him.
“Oh my god, won’t this cost me my sanity?”
Han Xiao smacked his lips. He looked with interest at the landscapes of this secondary dimension and took a photo for memory. Otherwise, if they fight later, he might accidentally crush this place.
Glancing at the mountain-like figure, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Are you the Unlimited King?
I have to say that this guy’s appearance was quite intimidating. Ordinary people would probably be shocked to the point of going insane at first sight, triggering a deep-seated phobia of giant creatures. However, Han Xiao was used to seeing anything, so this scene had no effect on him. The shock was far less than the salvo of the fleet during the intercept.

Yes, I have been waiting for you, Blackstar, the Limitless King replied slowly.
Do you know me?
Han Xiao was a bit surprised. He looked at the Bobanica in his arms and remembered that he had not given his name. Maybe his name has already spread from the main universe to the secondary dimensions?
—I know why you’re here. You want to take this fleet and this sentient being named Harrison, right? I learned about your civilization from their memories.
The Limitless King sat motionless, but the black mist in the sky suddenly dissipated, revealing the fleet. It was the missing expeditionary team of the three universal civilizations. However, this was only visible for a moment before the black mist hid them again, making it impossible to see him.
The unconscious Harrison took off from the platform and hovered in front of it.
Han Xiao’s eyes flashed, but he was in no hurry to make a move.He asked curiously,
—Understood. Then why did you wait here for me?
The Limitless King didn’t answer right away. He said slowly,
“I usually digest the prey I catch right away, but I learned your name from their memories. To be honest, I am very afraid of you high-level life forms from the main material universe. Because of your existence, I didn’t eat them right away.
—You’re rather cold-blooded.
Han Xiao looked at the Limitless King in surprise.
“Your cowardice saved you, baby!”
“Just from the memories of Harrison and the others, he found out that I was their patron, so he didn’t dare attack the expedition team… It looks like I’m still very intimidating.”
After seeing that the other side turned to face him, Han Xiao’s expression softened a bit.He extended his hand and said with a smile:
—In that case, I don’t mind being friends with you. Let them go first.
However, the Limitless King shook his head.
I didn’t say I would return them to you.
Hearing this, Han Xiao stopped.
—If you don’t want to provoke me and don’t want to bring people back, what are you going to do?
—I want to make a deal with you.
—A deal? Although you did not eat these people, you caught them and brought them here. I don’t owe you any favors. Do you want to use these people as a bargaining chip? It’s difficult,” Han Xiao replied casually.
The Limitless King said slowly:
their memory. You guys are at war with the World Tree and I believe the World Tree will definitely like this information.They will be able to find your territory of secondary dimensions. It just so happens that, by a stroke of luck, I have a way to contact the members of the World Tree.
This news exceeded all his expectations. Han Xiao’s eyes narrowed and he immediately dropped his hands.
—Threat me? Are you tired of living?
—It’s not a threat, it’s just a self-preservation instinct.Even if you agree to make a deal with me, I’m afraid that you will retaliate against me after I return this person to you. I have no confidence in defeating you … And with this trump card, I believe my safety will be guaranteed. This is the basis of the deal.
The Limitless King’s tone was business-like.
—… How can I trust you when you say you can contact members of the World Tree? Do you think you can scare me with just a few words?Who knows, maybe you know these terms just from their memories. Show me the evidence.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
The Boundless King did not object and explained:
— I understand what you mean, but I’m not lying to you. Although you and the World Tree fought in the main material universe, the secondary dimension world is their base camp. They consumed the secondary dimensions one by one for countless years.
However, the secondary dimensions are infinite, and the World Tree does not eat every one of them. His main expansion method is to root and imprint them, turning them into territories that allow them to move quickly. Some special secondary dimensions are not even interfered with, but instead focus on observation and research.
At the same time, they sent out countless members to explore the outside world, spreading the name of the World Tree and its communication channels. This is similar to what they did in the main material universe.One of their reconnaissance parties passed by my outer territory, and one of my guards received a lot of information and informed me about it…
While saying this, the Limitless King shared a small part of his memories through mental communication .
Han Xiao checked, but found no sign of forgery. He did have the contact information of the World Tree members and was a little annoyed.
“It’s a bit tricky… There’s no 100% chance of stopping the leak if I try to kill this guy. If the World Tree starts a secondary battle, our situation will worsen,” Han Xiao’s eyes flashed, and he quickly calculated. .Although his main body was found in his previous life, if it wasn’t for the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device transporting to the central area and launching a sneak attack, it would be nearly impossible for frontal attacks to pass through the secondary-dimensional protective circle next to the World Tree’s main body. Right now, the three universal civilizations were in a good position.One of the reasons was that the World Tree did not have time to figure out the territory of the secondary dimensions of the three universal civilizations like in its previous life, and did not activate this battlefront, which reduced the pressure on them.
Seeing the change in Han Xiao’s expression, the Limitless King spoke again.
You don’t have to worry about me using this as leverage to threaten you.With the abilities of high-level lifeforms like you, even if your civilization is destroyed, there is a good chance that you can be saved. At that time, this trump card will no longer be able to protect me… So you can be sure. I just want to make a deal with you. I won’t force you to do anything out of the box. As long as you don’t attack me, I don’t need to denounce you. Trust me, no one is willing to take the initiative to deal with the World Tree.
The Infinite King’s tone was sincere. Although he kept him in check, he did not dare to make any outrageous requests. He did not think that this trump card could support making the opponent do whatever he wants. In his eyes, it was just a condition for making a deal with the other side.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and looked at the Limitless King thoughtfully.
This Limitless King was a powerful dimensional deity, and his name was very fearsome. However, he remained humble in front of Han Xiao. Although he held it in his hands, he did not behave harshly. Instead, he was a little cowardly.
Han Xiao thought for a few seconds and suppressed his hostility.
—… Tell me about your deal. What do you want me to do for you?
—There are only two things.First, after the battle begins, you will allow me to project my power and collect the souls of those who died in battle, as well as some destroyed warships. Core universe materials are very valuable to us.
“Are you trying to wrest business from the Underworld?” rates to recover the wreckage of the battleship. Are you a galactic scavenger?”
Han Xiao’s expression became strange.He looked around at the slowly flowing black mist, and felt the Infinite King suddenly look like the owner of a garbage station.
—… And what about the second question? p158>—I once had a special secondary dimension, but it was taken away by another group of spatial entities. They are not easy to deal with and I have never been able to handle them. I hope you can help me get it back.
Han Xiao smacked his lips and said:
—I can help you with these two things, but since you said that the snitching method is only to protect myself and not threaten me, I will not take it as a bargaining chip. The price you offered is not good, so I need more.
—What do you want? “The Limitless King didn’t back out of the deal.
—I need more information about the power of the World Tree in the secondary dimension. Tell me everything you know. Also, I need some black stuff for research. And finally… Maybe we can work together to deal with the World Tree. They are expanding in the secondary dimension and will sooner or later arrive in your territory. It is best to strike first,” Han Xiao said slowly.
—I can promise you the first two points.As for the showdown with the World Tree, forget about it. I can’t afford to provoke them either. I’ll just hide.
As expected, the Limitless King refused.
Han Xiao smiled.
—Don’t be too afraid. The World Tree has the weakness of the main body. As long as the main body is destroyed, the threat to you will be eliminated once and for all. Isn’t that good?On top of that, you might even be able to release a large number of souls to be your food.
Although Harrison and the others were captured, leaking information, with Harrison’s luck, he could turn failure into success. From a good point of view, it was also an opportunity for him to learn about the power of the World Tree in the secondary dimensions.
Therefore, he did not launch an attack. Instead, he was trying to see if he could attract a new ally.After all, he was once the successor of socialism, and he got into the habit of joining forces.
—It sounds very tempting, but I’m not sure if the main body really exists . Let’s talk about it after you find him.
The Limitless King didn’t comment. Seeing this, Han Xiao did not force him. He already knew that the other would disagree so easily and only mentioned the topic.
At this moment, a notification appeared on the HUD.
You have started the mission [Deal with the Unlimited King]!

Han Xiao was curious.
What was this secondary dimension that the Limitless King dared to offend him, to take him back… Could it be his wife?
