Chapter 449: The Taste!

Hans’s twelve robot companions had already stepped into the Legendary tier.

This meant that, within this chaotic Radiant Flow Star Domain, crawling with cult organizations, Hans could now be counted among the big shots as a cult leader.

Even in the Radiant Flow Star Domain, not every cult organization could withstand having twelve perfectly coordinated Legendary powerhouses blocking their doorstep at once.

The repairman, trapped underground in a garbage dump for over ten years, had become a major figure capable of dominating an entire star domain.

Twelve Legendaries, handled properly, were already enough to change the landscape of a star domain.

“You’re much more humble than I imagined, Mr. Hans,” Loren said with a slight smile.

Hearing Loren’s words, Hans shook his head with a wry grin.

“That’s not humility, Mr. Loren.”

“According to that ‘Moon’ entity, the Radiant Flow Star Domain is far more complicated than we thought.”

“As the Federation’s most chaotic star domain, there are still many big, never-before-seen creatures hiding in the corners of some remote planets.”

“They’re waiting for the right moment…”

After listening to Hans’s explanation, Loren’s face showed a hint of contemplation.

“Is that so?”

At that moment, Jessistan, who had been nearby, took the initiative to pick up the conversation.

“Yeah, my followers also tell me that in this star domain, they often sense auras not weaker than mine.”

Hearing this.

Loren shot a rather strange glance at Miss Silver Dragon beside him.

“Wait, you have followers in the Radiant Flow Star Domain too?”

“Hehe! Looks like I let something slip~”

Faced with Loren’s question, Miss Silver Dragon bashfully stuck out her tongue, trying to pass it off with cuteness.

“……”

Loren was at a loss for words.

If it’s such a secret thing, don’t just casually expose it!!

And the range of your followers is way too wide!!

Is that right?!

I recall you, this stupid dragon, escaped from the Land of the Gods to the Federation, didn’t you?!

Don’t tell me you did nothing after coming to the Federation! You just spent all day collecting those ridiculously expensive followers?!

Also, has the frequency of your cute acts been way too high lately?!

Miss Stupid Dragon!

Please, for crying out loud, remember this! You’re an ancient dragon, several thousand years old!!!

Not a newly hatched whelp!!

……

For a moment, Loren’s mind was filled with too many complaints to know where to start.

Fortunately, at this point, Hans, as the host of this place, noticed the scene had inexplicably fallen into some strange atmosphere.

So, he took the initiative to invite Loren and Jessistan into his painstakingly built base and began introducing some of its unique functions.

“Over here, this is the research zone I built. Because I needed to study some big things, I dug all the way from the surface down to 10,000 meters underground.”

“The massive amount of mechas and that starship you sent, Mr. Loren, were dismantled into parts right here.”

……

“Over there is the containment room. That ‘Moon’ I captured was once locked up in there.”

“Too bad you came a step too late, Mr. Loren; otherwise, you could have seen that peculiar AI.”

“A month ago, it collapsed because it couldn’t withstand my research.”

“I have to say, the one who created it barely qualifies as a genius.”

“At least in some of their ideas, that person still surprised me.”

“The only regret is that the methods they used to create ‘Moon’ were way too extreme.”

“My less-than-plentiful moral sense won’t let me use technology to recreate a ‘New Moon’……”

……

“This is the recreation area. When I was building it, I occasionally played cards with my robot buddies here.”

“The sad thing is, after they reached Legendary, I haven’t won a single hand……”

“Later, it turned into a dedicated place for them to study gambling techniques.”

……

“This is the upgrade zone. My robot companions achieved the Legendary tier right here.”

“To cover up the commotion of their advancement, I also dug down to 10,000 meters underground here.”

“Oh, speaking of which.”

“That head of the Radiant Flow Star Domain’s Security Bureau is a Legendary-tier earth-type psychic.”

“I think his name is ‘Vic.’ To fool him back then, I used plenty of cover-ups while digging underground.”

“In the beginning, I even caused a bunch of commotion on other planets to lure Agent Vic out of Radiant Flow Main City……”

……

Following the metal corridors split open by mechanized walls, the two humans, one dragon, and the twelve robots walked together into this mysterious and complex technological fortress.

Throughout, Hans’s introductions came in a nonstop torrent.

It was as if he wanted to prove to Loren just how much he had grown during this time.

Five minutes later.

The group finally arrived at the core of this technological fortress—the rest area.

At that point, Hans finally stopped his introductions.

Following Hans into the rest area, Loren’s gaze was immediately drawn to the massive, mist-shrouded hot spring at the center of the area.

Just as Loren was wondering how this huge hot spring came to be, Miss Silver Dragon, beside him, transformed directly into her dragon true form, dozens of meters long, and plunged into the hot spring with a flap of her wings.

Instantly, the rest area was splashed with warm, sulfur-scented water everywhere.

Forcing Loren to spread his black wings behind him to block the splashing water!

As for Hans and his robot companions, they simply smiled and conjured a spherical energy shield around themselves.

One second later.

From beneath the misty hot spring water came a bubbling sound, followed by:

“Mr. Loren, and Mr. Hans, I’m planning to take a nice, long sleep in the hot spring!!!”

“Leave the safety stuff to you~”

……

Seeing this, Loren rubbed his brow with a finger, his face full of black lines.

This stupid dragon! Is it possible that I also want to sleep in the hot spring too!!

Hesitation, huh! Sure wasn’t a good thing!!

The next second.

The pair of broad black wings behind Loren vanished of their own accord!

Then, a flash of light flickered at his shoulder.

Raven, having voluntarily ended their fusion, perched obediently on his shoulder.

However, the very next moment!

Raven flew off Loren’s shoulder with a loud cackle!

“Hahahaha!! Master, stay on guard!”

“As a bird, I’ve never experienced the taste of a hot spring!!”

……

Under the curious gazes of Hans and his twelve robot companions, Loren, left standing there, raised his hand once again.

This time, he slowly and resentfully rubbed his brow with his palm.

Stupid bird, you’ve turned bad too!

I still prefer the way you were at the start…

At that moment.

Hans, standing nearby, smiled and shook his head, offering a comment:

“Looks like the hot spring I dug out from deep underground is really popular with everyone, huh…”

Hearing this.

Loren’s face seemed to darken a shade more.
