Chapter 1849: Chapter 579: Meteor’s Escape Route

"Oh? You’ve heard of me?"

The Quantum Ghost was also quite interested in this statement. As a professional recluse for a century, she didn’t recall ever exposing herself.

"I just happened to come across a reclusive genius Mechanical Master during an investigation.

And I can still see traces of quantum technology; you’ve been trying to quantum-intrude on me, haven’t you?

Unfortunately, my puppets don’t fall for such tricks.

Now it seems I guessed right."

"Meteor" deliberately did not mention the specific source, but clearly, to investigate to this extent, how could they not know these basic pieces of information?

"Tch, it’s magic control again, which is why I hate magicians!!!

Sooner or later, I’ll find a way to control the magic spells and invade all your puppets!"

Even from the sentence pieced together from random voices, "Quantum Ghost’s" annoyed tone was evident, even increasing the intensity of the Mechanical Forces’ attacks, making "Meteor" feel the pressure.

This is a response to my identity revelation...

But it also proved that the information he disclosed had an effect.

"Hehe, so you also dislike mages?"

"Meteor" likewise increased the amplification on the puppet, responding with a dry laugh and then changing tone.

"Forget it, you can see the situation in this battle too—there’s no point in our continued confrontation, so why don’t we stop here?

You know I won’t expose your information."

There was a noticeable pause on the public channel before the voice resumed.

"Oh? Alright then..."

"Then let’s agree, in one minute..."

For a high-tier Transcendent, acting isn’t too difficult. After simply discussing a scenario, "Meteor" breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, this Quantum Ghost still cares about their identity information...

The threat effect just now was decent."

Knowing the information itself is also intelligence, he was willing to disclose his knowledge about the "Quantum Ghost," not for bragging.

It’s to be used as a "box weapon," showing that as long as his identity is leaked, he has equivalent intelligence to use as a threat.

The Gemini Empire’s covert operation, that Quantum Ghost certainly didn’t want their information exposed more than he did.

If exposed, at most, he could actively seek refuge in the other two civilizations, but the Quantum Ghost hidden within the Empire couldn’t recover from exposure.

After suspecting this, he proactively offered to keep the other’s identity secret.

And the Quantum Ghost clearly understood his hint.

Just like how the Gemini Empire erased all its emblems, intending to deny their involvement, he never actively revealed his identity from beginning to end—wasn’t it also to leave a way out?

He himself is also an 8th Rank Transcendent, a considerable identity.

As long as he denies it, it will be like the current situation where the Gemini Empire’s fleet can’t directly be pointed out—the Gemini Empire can’t directly hold him accountable!

Now it seems, it’s quite successful.

"However, I really have to find a way out now. The Empire knows my connection with the Heide civilization and definitely won’t let it go easily.

Even if they don’t act openly, they will surely suppress the Heide civilization or act against me secretly.

Perhaps I should seek an introduction to Fan Mao at the next gathering..."

When it comes to protection, only two entities can resist the Gemini Empire. For the safety of the mother civilization, even sacrificing oneself to work is manageable.

He himself is indeed difficult to reach, but fortunately, Fan Mao has enough connections to serve as a bridge.

As time passed second by second, at the agreed time, he and the Quantum Ghost acted in unison according to the plan. After a round of intense confrontation, they retracted their powers and withdrew separately.

"Master, how’s the situation?"

Seeing "Meteor" exit the battlefield, the fleet’s Commander couldn’t wait to send a communication to express concern.

"That Mechanical Master with a hidden identity is stronger than me; I can’t handle it." Meteor shook his head, not pretending to be strong.

"You can’t handle it? But you are..."

Seeing the Commander seemingly view him as an all-purpose lifesaver, Meteor’s expression turned stern, sternly warning.

"The hidden strength of the Three Great Civilizations should not be underestimated. Do not provoke them lightly in the future.

However, this time they probably just intend to provoke the Insect Swarm and don’t plan to continue the attack; the Three Great Civilizations also care about appearances.

As long as you don’t actively provoke them, they won’t go too far.

Also, don’t contact me again in the short term. This time I acted on your behalf, but I’m afraid I need to lay low for a while.

After that, I might take some actions; don’t pay it any mind."

After Meteor finished speaking, he hurriedly cut off the communication. The battlefield’s Quantum Network was still clearly monitored, deliberately omitting any specific names.

Fortunately, though the Commander was somewhat overly reliant on him, he still had a bit of professionalism.

"Next, I need to figure out how to contact those two civilizations; otherwise, it will be difficult ahead, especially with Heide...

Don’t worry, I will help you protect your Heide..."

Facing the back of the battlefield from a distant meteor, Meteor looked up towards space, clenching his fists.

Reaching the 8th Rank, he certainly wasn’t a person of recent years.

His willingness to become Heide’s hidden guardian was purely because he had once initiated a coup in the Heide civilization before rising to fame, establishing the current civilization.

That person had a talent for ruling, becoming the civilization’s Commander, while he, a talented Transcendent, promised to silently guard it.

For the civilization, he was willing to give up a lot, including himself.
