Chapter 161: Final Battle (Part 2) (Part 2)
The disintegration of black is silent.
After being shot by that arrow, the mother didn't even have time to struggle.
The burning ball of energy exploded, and the fist-sized black core evaporated and disappeared in an instant, and the huge piece of meat dissipated with it.
The terrifying energy wave of the explosion not only swept away the mother's body completely.
It should have drowned everyone in the star field.
The surrounding space stations should have been instantly evaporated into large clouds of gas, destroying distant planets and ending all life in the starry sea at the end of this second.
It was like a catastrophe caused by the explosion of the sun.
But in the center of the bright light, inside the tiny starship, Ming Yu swallowed the energy deeply, with all his strength, as if aimlessly and without letting go...
Then the overwhelming energy flowed back and merged into the ends of his floating mental power.
And poured it into his spiritual realm.
...For a moment, Mingyu had the illusion that food was stuck in his throat and was about to choke him to death.
Or maybe it's the unbearable pain of your stomach about to burst from eating too much.
But then, his spiritual realm started to work.
The desire to devour is indeed endless.
Those violent energies were truly completely swallowed up by Mingyu's spiritual realm.
Then, there was even a moment of clarity in the young man's mind.
All the pain in the spiritual realm was swept away, and even a sense of satisfaction after a full meal and drink emerged in Mingyu's spiritual realm.
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu was in a daze for a moment, wondering if he really had... advanced?!
This thought flashed through his mind. At the same time, a loud sound of metal breaking was heard in the cockpit.
"Ah ...
When the energy poured in, the silver-white starship could no longer bear it all and shattered and fell.
“Click.”
The crisp sound of the rescue capsule ejecting mixed in with the rumble of the starship disintegrating. Mingyu's seat suddenly sank, and was engulfed by the upward-moving rescue capsule.
The slight chill on his fingertips disappeared with the pull, and Mingyu suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that it was Mu Baixing's hand that was slipping out of his palm.
Mingyu: “!!”
He suddenly came back to his senses.
"Wait...Brother Mu!" The young man struggled forward, but the fasteners on the seat worked and pulled him tightly to the seat.
The scene in the cockpit disappeared, replaced by the gray interior walls of the rescue cabin.
Then, the entire rescue capsule ejected outward at high speed.
The sudden impact made Mingyu's brain dizzy. His nearly exhausted body couldn't possibly become stronger just by being satisfied by the spiritual realm.
Mingyu's palm rested on the wall of the rescue capsule. In his final moments, before he lost consciousness, he saw the ring on his middle finger, reflecting his own anxious face against the pale white lights in the four corners of the rescue capsule.
Where is Brother Mu?
Mingyu vaguely thought that his advancement had avoided a serious overload in his spiritual realm.
...Where's Mu Baixing? !
This was the last thought in his mind before he fell into coma.
When Mingyu regained consciousness, he heard a lot of noise around him.
"Is LUCE awake?!"
"Looks like he's waking up!"
"Don't block the way here! Move aside! Whose camera is this?!"
"There's a Star Tournament logo on this camera? A competition camera? The game's on hold now! Who's in control? Stop messing around here!"
"The camera has been requisitioned! Now communicating with the remote medical ship. Don't move! The doctor is watching."
Mingyu opened his eyes.
He was lying on a simple sofa, surrounded by a circle of people.
Several treatment machines were shining on him, and a camera was hovering above him.
"How are you feeling?" A small screen appeared in front of the camera, and a doctor in a white coat leaned in to ask, "Are you feeling any discomfort? Is your mental state hurting? Can you understand me? Do you remember who you are?"
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu rubbed his forehead, and everyone around him immediately showed worried expressions.
"...No." The young man propped himself up and sat up. "No headache, no discomfort."
Even refreshed.
...It seems that the mental power really improved when absorbing the black tide energy.
This thought flashed through his mind. Then, Mingyu's expression suddenly changed.
"Mu Baixing." He asked anxiously, "Where's Brother Mu?!"
"He's been sent to the treatment cabin." The people surrounding Mingyu said immediately, "He's unconscious due to mental overload, and was transferred to the medical starship with the first batch of transport ships."
"The scan results just now from the treatment device show that there's nothing wrong with your body. The medical starship's cabins for the wounded are all full, so we'll keep you here for now." The doctor quickly explained, "Are you really not feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No." Ming Yu stood up and said casually, "I'm going to the medical starship. It won't take up space, and my family will accompany me."
"Don't worry, don't worry." The doctor hurriedly comforted him, "Everyone was saved, no one died. Don't you feel dizzy when you stand up? Feel it carefully again..."
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu tried hard to calm down and was about to speak when the doctor suddenly turned his head back.
"Oh." The doctor in a white coat turned around and listened for a moment, then immediately looked at Mingyu again.
"Your partner is awake. Don't worry, LUCE! I'll turn the camera around!"
The image on the screen was shaking, and it was obvious that the doctor was walking down the corridor.
Mingyu looked nervous, holding the light screen with one hand and pulling the screen closer.
Then he saw Mu Baixing's face.
The other person's face was pale, his brow furrowed, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He sat leaning against the headboard, an IV drip attached to the back of one hand, while his other hand reached forward, similar to Mingyu's, to pull over the camera suspended beside the doctor.
When the man saw Mingyu, his brows relaxed.
"It's okay." His voice was a little weak, but there was a hint of laughter in it, even a hint of teasing. "Didn't you notice?"
"The violent energy of my mental overload..."
"You almost sucked it all away."
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu was stunned.
That's right, he thought to himself, in that state of almost losing control and desperately absorbing energy.
...It seemed reasonable to suck away all of Mu Boxing's mental energy.
After all, he had no resistance to Mu Boxing's mental energy.
"So the body wasn't too badly impacted, just a little discomfort in the mental realm, a headache." The man continued, "Don't worry."
He raised his hand with the IV, touched his pale lips, and pointed the camera forward.
Gave Mingyu a distant kiss.

"Report! There's black tide energy spreading outward ahead! The energy level isn't high, so we can just clean it up!"
"Report! This is Starship Zero One. We have passed the third star and are still moving forward!"
"Report! The Kuroshio energy concentration is still weak. We've observed the fourth and fifth stars... and it seems like quite a few Kuroshio bugs are running out from the center! We don't know what's happening inside the Kuroshio Star Sea, but we've eliminated all of them!"
Musa paced back and forth in the command room and asked in a deep voice, "Any feedback from the shuttle fleet?"
"No," the operator replied immediately. Musa shook his head, knowing that communication was impossible at the core of the Kuroshio outbreak.
The military has also urgently dispatched planetary guards around the Star Navigation Competition to rush to the scene of the incident.
The Second Legion's garrison is more than a week's sailing distance from the competition area.
At this time, the Second Legion's ability to provide that kind of help was limited and it could only wait.
However, while worrying about whether the shuttle battleship and the star field where the Star Navigation Competition was located could withstand the core energy of the black tide, Musa did not miss the opportunity.
Taking advantage of the low tide outside the Black Tide Star Sea, he ordered the Second Legion to complete the exploration and rescue of the Northern Star Region, while clearing the Black Tide energy.
"Continue to dispatch the fleet into the Kuroshio." Musa gave the order, "Clear the Kuroshio bugs on the periphery..."
"All fleets, send a rescue arrival signal when passing over the inhabited planets in the former Northern Star Region."
"Confirm whether there are any survivors in the underground bases of those planets waiting for rescue."
"receive!"
The Second Legion fleet headed towards the receding Black Tide Star Sea.
"If there are no abnormal energy fluctuations, just keep going forward." Musa took a deep breath and continued, "Sail to the border of the former North Star Region."
What if... Musa smiled self-deprecatingly and said whimsically.
What if the tide around the Black Tide Star Sea recedes completely?!
What if the Kuroshio core energy, after asking for trouble... is destroyed by humans?!
He didn't know it yet, it was quite obvious.
Because as they moved forward rapidly, all the spectators who were watching the Star Navigation Competition already knew it.
The core area of the Black Tide Star Sea has been almost wiped out by a single shot from LUCE and Mu Boxing.
The hole left after the collapse of space became a temporary connection between the competition star field and the core of the Black Tide.
Part of the rescue starships in the competition were transporting the wounded, while the other part was responsible for monitoring the passage, confirming the contraction of the passage, and being ready to clear the black tide creatures near the passage at any time to prevent them from coming to the human star field.
However, these black tide creatures were frightened by the explosion and the death of their mother, and fled far away from here.
The audience of the Star Games knew more than that.
I stared blankly in front of the light screen, watching the two colorful bosses, LUCE and Mu Baixing, flirting with each other after surviving the disaster.
If it was just flirting, they wouldn't be so shocked.
They were so shocked that after experiencing the earth-shattering scene just now... they still felt deeply shocked.
When the core of the Black Tide Star Sea was dissolved and the energy of □□ was absorbed by Mingyu, the broken signal connection began to gradually recover.
After being rescued, Mingyu and other contestants were placed in the space city, the end point of the first stage of the competition.
This temporary space city was originally set up for the Star Navigation Competition, and therefore all communication lines were dedicated to it. The situation was so chaotic that, in order to contact the medical starship as quickly as possible, the staff, battered by the energy shockwaves, grabbed a competition camera and connected the communication line, not noticing that the camera's connection to the live broadcast of the competition had not been severed.
So Rabbit Commentator, the survivors of Kash Space City, and millions of viewers... all saw Mingyu and Mu Baixing.
First, they saw LUCE's true face.
To prevent any obstruction to rescue efforts, Lucé's virtual mask was removed upon his arrival inside the space city. Before Lucé regained consciousness, most people were anxiously waiting for his awakening. When Lucé opened his eyes, everyone gasped at his magnified beauty.
Among them, the students of the Starship History Department of the Central Star Region Capital Star Comprehensive University suffered the most fatal critical blow.
Because... this face with delicate features.
It's not unfamiliar to them.
“…”
At this moment, they rubbed their eyes at the same time.
"Does the Ming family have twins?" Faced with the facts, some people still don't believe it. "Does Mingyu have an older brother or younger brother who is living away from home?"
"...How is that possible? How could Ming Zhilang let Ming Zhuofeng's child grow up outside? General Ming Zhuofeng and Designer An Qiu must have only one child, Mingyu."
"Oh. Then, what does it mean?"
"Does this mean LUCE is Mingyu?"
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone who had seen Mingyu was stunned.
At this time, other viewers who still didn't understand what was going on were screaming because of Mingyu and Mu Baixing's looks, as well as the man's kiss from a distance.
"What!!! How come LUCE is so good-looking!!! How come Mu Baixing is so handsome!!!! Mommy, I'm in love! I can be with either of these two people——"
"What?! Are they a couple?! Am I heartbroken again?!"
"They're such a perfect match, Mom, these two look perfect to me... a love story between two handsome guys... and they're even blowing kisses!"
"Hahahaha! Mu Baixing and LUCE don't know we can see it, right?! Hahahaha!! Hahahaha!! I saw LUCE blushing a little!!!"
"LUCE blushes so easily!!! Look at Mu Baixing, these two must have been dating for more than just a few moments! I guess they've been together for a long time!"
"Ahhhhh, I'm heartbroken!! Ahh ...
Amidst the howling, the people who discovered LUCE's true identity finally came to their senses.
“Hahahahaha!! I guessed it right!! LUCE is Mingyu!! Mingyu is LUCE!!! What a pretty loser!! Mortals!! Tremble for me, Brother Ming!!——”
"...What's going on upstairs?"
"Is there something crazy upstairs?"
"!!! The person above is not crazy!!! Help! Everyone, check out the trending posts!! Someone posted a photo of Mingyu, the 'pretty loser' from the Central Star Region, secretly taken on campus! He looks exactly like LUCE!!"
Today's StarNet is destined to be another stormy day.
Because a few hours later, various topics about the Black Tide Rift, the Black Tide Star Sea collapse, the various teams working together to snipe the Black Tide, the colorful display of power, and the poor little Mingyu turning out to be the rising star LUCE of Star Navigation were still fermenting. When the discussion area was in chaos, someone dropped a new bombshell on the Star Network.
It came from a certified account with an upside-down white bird as its avatar, named "Officially Released by the North Star Domain", which had not appeared in any activity for many years.
"North Star Territory King Lando Celt announced that he would restore and rebuild the North Star Territory."
"This is to make this statement."
While everyone was confused, reading the name of the account and the sentences in the statement word for word, and wondering if their brains were damaged by too many unexpected events today, the Office of the Supreme Director of the Central Star Region had already taken swift action.
They retweeted this statement and attached a blessing:
"The Central Star Region will fully cooperate with the reconstruction of the Northern Star Region."
"Welcome back, hero of humanity."

Since its creation, the Humanity Star Network has been in operation for eight hundred years. Through successive upgrades and maintenance, the Star Network's servers have remained stable, never experiencing disconnections due to overload, lags, or downtime. But this fact, a source of immense pride for Star Network technicians, has finally been broken today.
At twelve o'clock midnight, twelve hours after the Star Navigation Competition was unexpectedly interrupted, the King of the Northern Star Region, Lando Celt, held a press conference.
The man was tall and long-legged, wearing a simple black suit. He had an extremely handsome face with sharp features. Although his face was slightly pale, he exuded an imposing aura.
When he looked towards the camera with his dark circles of light blue eyes, everyone watching the press conference through the screen couldn't help but straighten their backs and sit up straight.
Then, he pulled his jaw which was about to drop to the ground in shock.
"Mom." A young girl with short hair turned to the side in front of the screen. Her mother was an elementary school teacher, but also a devoted Star Trek fan.
This mother, who usually went to bed at 10 and got up at 6, stayed up all night for the first time. She sat beside her daughter, wide awake and excited, wanting to see what the Celtic king, who had made great contributions to mankind, had returned from the dead, and always wore a mask, looked like.
At this moment, her expression was still fixed on an expectant smile.
"Mom." The young girl called out again, hesitantly, "This time... am I really hallucinating?"
"Is it because I was so devastated by seeing the colorful observer and pilot fall in love and then break up?"
"Why...I think the face of the Celtic King is on the screen."
"He looks exactly like the colorful driver Mu Boxing, huh?"
