Chapter 49 Igniting the Sea!
Chapter 49 Igniting the Sea!
The video that Toppa brought back caused quite a stir within the company.
Although everyone outwardly remained skeptical, they had already taken action behind the scenes.
The company headquarters in Pierpoint is undergoing an upgrade, and most departments have temporarily moved to nearby star systems—except for the marketing department.
Because of their outstanding performance, they were granted the honorable permission to "stay at headquarters".
Ultimately, the "foundation stone" that Toppa brought back was genuine, and its power was said to surpass that of "diamonds".
If Toppa hadn't already been "taken under Qingyuan's command" and exiled to Onfaros, making him difficult to approach, there would probably be quite a few people who wanted to follow this "crown prince."

On Onpharos's side, Seele "lured" Bronya over with the intention of conducting another deduction.
It wasn't just about the money; the unsettling scene she had glimpsed during her earlier deductions also bothered her greatly.
The company attached great importance to this deduction and even sent placer gold over.
On one hand, they wanted to explore the details of Qingyuan's defeat of "Greedy Gluttony". On the other hand, they also wanted to use Sand Gold's extraordinary luck to see if the company's future was really in jeopardy.
With Huixing absent this time, it was still Silver Wolf, who was working overtime, who was in charge of the operation.
Qingyuan lay leisurely on Baikong's lap, accepting the other's feeding.
She admitted that she had been wary of Blank's purple hair, but now she is certain that Blank is a good person.
Moreover… her eyes were so gentle that they reminded Qingyuan of the confidante who played the role of the battle-damaged Xilian.
I really don't understand why such a gentle person would be hunted down.
However, Qingyuan still didn't know how to face the blank space—a character who appeared because of her arrival but did not exist in the original work.
"If all of this were really just a miracle brought about by a time traveler, how wonderful that would be."
In that case, the world might not have to suffer so much, and the future might truly be brighter.
Regardless of truth or falsehood, my feelings for you remain unchanged.

The scene gradually became clearer. This time, it showed Bronya standing beneath the starry sky.
Toppa watched with great interest as Bronya summoned the "Great Guardian" on the screen. Then, the Guardian hurled a meteorite, which completely destroyed a giant beast that fed on galaxies with a single blow.
"It really is..." Bronya's voice rang out in the deduced scene, "...Despicable villains. They even went so far as to create something like this just to mislead us."
The more I know, the more I realize how turbulent the world is, the more exhausted I feel.
Topa smiled broadly: "Think of the bright side."
At least for now, nobody's pressuring Bellowberg to pay off his debts, is there?"
"Let me go back to pay off my debts, really!" Bronya covered her face. "At least I could still get by like that. Now... thankfully I have Jepard. Once he advances to Prism, I won't have to stay in Belloborg all day in my main body anymore."
Only those who reach the 4F level of the Foundation Adaptor can now freely travel between star systems and effectively defend against the forces of the Gluttonous.
Or someone skilled in speed like Seele would also work... Has your cornerstone received the message? 'The Butterfly'... Who is that?
"Oh, if I remember correctly, that should be a friend that Miss Xilian resurrected using the power of her memory destiny."
I received it too. The message says... a suspected hidden hideout of gluttons has been discovered?
The two exchanged a glance and immediately set off for their target star system.
When they arrived, the entire galaxy was already shrouded in a massive, illusory "subspace crystal wall".
They sought out Xia Die to learn more about the situation.
"That's how it is," Xia Die explained, "Saifier and Bartlus want to find a place to serve as a secret base and treasure trove."
I took them to search throughout the galaxy, finding places that were deserted, inconspicuous, and had enough space to store their belongings.
Sai Fei shook her head and replied, "Thinking about it this way, aren't those gluttonous guys looking for territory the same thing?"
"But..." She gazed at the enormous, illusory image of the sub-space crystal wall in the distance, "If she can project even this, could her boss... be a Star God?"
Topa waved his hand: "If she really becomes a star goddess, I'm afraid no one will be able to laugh anymore."
Let's put that aside for now. Ms. Bronya, would you be interested in trying a collaboration with me?
My talent increases speed due to the influence of other foundation stones, while your talent increases energy accumulation due to the influence of other foundation stones.
I feel like if we team up, we could "step on our own feet and fly to the sky!"
"Hey, stop!" Sai Fei'er quickly stopped her, "Don't worry about how much damage this galaxy can withstand from you, we still have people inside!"
Liu Ying is interrogating some people inside; leave the rest to her.
After all, they did that to Grey... If it weren't for Demon sacrificing himself and regressing to the 'Mimi' state to maintain Grey's existence, there would probably be another Extinction Lord in this world.
Sai Fei'er clicked her tongue: "If you ask me, the one who is most hurt is our Miss Purple Xi Lian."
She had just resurrected De Miao, but couldn't go with him because she had to rush to finish the "Paradise of the Past" project, and then...
She wanted to create a beautiful place for De Miao as her home, a place to express her feelings, and also to surprise her...
boom!
A planet was engulfed by fluorescent green flames and instantly turned to dust.
Sam darted through the planetary debris—my god, she was like a "Superman." As for which Superman, let's not worry about that.
"Looks like they found out something." Sai Fei turned to look into the distance. "Just like that... that's it? That's too easy for them."
I want to see rivers of blood flowing from these guys!
boom! boom! boom!
Each loud bang signifies that a planet has completely lost all traces of its matter in the galaxy.
Seeing this, Toppa yawned, looking completely unfazed. "Looks like this is none of our business."
I've been working non-stop for half a month and I'm fine, don't you need to rest?
Bronya thought for a moment, then took out a small mirror and looked at her face. "No dark circles under my eyes, nothing physically wrong, but I'm definitely extremely exhausted mentally."
Last time I returned to Belleburg, I slept for four hours before Seele shook me awake…”
"Well... goodbye, Ms. Bronya. But if you're used to not sleeping, it's actually not bad to take some time to relax once in a while."
"I can't learn it..." Bronya's words were cut short as Topa had already vanished.
She didn't say anything more and turned to head towards Belleberg.
She thought to herself that if Seele dared to shake her awake again with that ridiculous excuse, she would take off her boots and kick Seele's butt hard.

On the other side, in the narrow passage of fate.
Toppa looked at Sand Gold, who was wrapped up like a dumpling and lying on the bed, picked up an onion, and squeezed out a "sincere" tear for himself.
"Gold mine... From the strategic investment department to joining A20 together, I thought we'd be colleagues for life..."
Feng Jin, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed. "Can't you really tell?"
"Miss Toppa, Mr. Sand Gold simply didn't follow the doctor's orders, that's why I tied him up like this."
"Oh, I see." Toppa casually tossed the onion aside, which landed right on Sand Gold's face.
"Tell me, how's that 'big job' you and the boss were working on going? You guys really dare to dream big and do big things!"
I can't even imagine what would happen if something went wrong; would I have to shoulder the burden of A20 all by myself...?
"I'm fine now..." came Sand Gold's muffled voice. "Miss Wind Violet, could you help me throw the onion back?"
"It's better not to hurt each other." Feng Jin picked up the onion and threw it into the trash can.
Sand Gold sighed and finally began to recount the "big job" he and his boss had planned...
