Chapter 846 The Crew & Dark Heavens

Chapter 846 The Crew & Dark Heavens

Michael didn't pay much attention to the dead High Awakened or the energy influx entering his War Rune. He stored the corpse in his War Rune Storage and turned to the two crew members, who shuddered violently.

The dead High Awakened was a member of Dark Heavens, but seeing a young, unfamiliar man breaking someone's neck nonchalantly wasn't exactly reassuring. They remembered the golden beams piercing their chests and looked down at their bodies, wondering if they were already in the afterlife, only to notice that there was nothing. All they could feel was an itch all over their body, within them. Their lifeforce and energy level was kept low, ensuring they couldn't retaliate.

Michael noticed the Extraction traces, which had spread through the crew members' bodies, and decided to disperse them. The crew members weren't that dangerous. That was also why he hadn't killed them with a beam of compressed extraction. Michael had followed his gut feeling to weaken the human powerhouses instead. They were lucky.

"I will need to check your minds again," Michael said in a low tone as he approached the two crew members.

They shuddered and tried to pull back, but Michael didn't let them.

"If you want to help your families, let me see everything I need to," he said calmly. Resist me, and I might not be able to procure the information needed to get rid of Dark Heavens."

The seriousness in his tone was enough to convince the crew members. If someone was strong enough to help their family, the young man was probably standing before them.

Michael procured the information he needed. That included intel about the spaceship's structure and information about everyone's location, strength, Soultraits, and which machines he should avoid destroying if he didn't want the spaceship to be destroyed.

At first, the crew members felt weird having someone search through their minds again, but since it was voluntary this time, they had better control. Of course, that was also because Michael didn't force his mind into theirs to procure information using brute violence and the domination of their minds, but it wasn't like Michael had to announce that openly. It was probably better to leave them in the dark. Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

"Thanks a lot," Michael said once the crew members were done sharing everything he needed to know, "This will help a lot."

"Please...rescue my family...our families. We didn't want to attack the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs...but...our families..." Tears welled up in the crew members' eyes, forcing Michael to halt in his tracks momentarily. He gave them a thumbs-up and smiled.

[There might be a commotion outside soon. I want everyone to stay as quiet as possible.] Michael told everyone. He tilted his head briefly and thought of something before adding, [I might bring some crew members here. Try not to scream out in surprise when we appear out of nowhere. It will be like this.]

Michael disappeared suddenly, taking the others by surprise, only to reappear a second later with the two crew members he'd left behind. When he saw his father, one of the kids was about to scream, but the mother covered his mouth in a hurry, muffling the excited scream.

Michael nodded thankfully toward the mother before helping the two men sit down. He'd drained their energy and lifeforce a little bit too much. They would not sustain any permanent wounds or have long-lasting issues, but it would take a few days to recuperate their lifeforce naturally.

He used Cosmic Stride to move to a different section of the spaceship where a few people, crew members, and Dark Heavens members were located. Spirit Eyes couldn't differentiate between crew members and Dark Heavens members. They looked the same as Spirit Eyes could only determine the energy accumulated in their Energy Pillar through the spaceship's walls.

Either way, Michael recalled the Dark Heaven members and released a True Extraction Qi Sword at one of them. The same target became the victim of a Spiritual Domination charge, overwhelming the man for a moment. The True Extraction Qi Sword impaled the man and sucked him dry before the Qi Sword exploded, ending the Dark Heavens member once and for all.

The other Dark Heavens member summoned a High Beast out of nowhere. That would have impressed Michael if he had not had mythical flames to burn the High Beast into a cinder. He was forced to be careful with the mythical flames, but it was not too difficult. He had enough time to learn how to control his powers.

Michael used Foundation Break, a few Serpent Seals, and Heavenly Beast Physique to increase his physical prowess. He charged through the azure flames and appeared before the Dark Heavens member, piercing his skull with the claws his left hand had turned into.

The energy influxes entered his body while the corpses were stored in his War Rune Storage. Michael wiped the brain mass from his claw with a flush of energy and turned to the crew members. He strode toward them, to which they responded with a step backward.

"Don't be stupid," He grumbled, lunging forward to grasp their arms before teleporting into the room where the crews' families were held hostage.

The room became the crew's sanctuary, ensuring Michael would not kill them by accident.

He did not want to go to their families and tell them their husband or wife died at his hands if he could avoid it.
