Chapter 2528: You Fool! This Is Outright Treason!
Innocent didn't have any sensation of actually holding something in his hand!
He opened his palm and looked—there was nothing in his grasp!
How could he not be confused? Just a moment ago, he had half-clutched the Cosmos Seed in his hand, so how had he grabbed empty air?
Where was the thing?
As the Cosmos Seed was taken, the surging Realm Force that had been erupting also dissipated completely, and even the Cosmos Flower withered in an instant!
It scattered into specks of spiritual light and vanished, having fulfilled its mission!
Hua Hong said excitedly: (งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "How is it? Did you get the Cosmos Seed?"
But Innocent, utterly incredulous, showed his empty palm to Hua Hong!
(|||°△°)っ "The... the Cosmos Seed disappeared! Just now, I was about to grab it, and then... it was gone!"
"Did the window period pass, causing the Cosmos Seed to dissipate and complete Chuangjie Daxu?"
"But my speed was clearly fast enough, it..."
At this moment, even the usually composed Innocent couldn't help panicking. A million years of accumulation, a god-creation plan laid out over 2.2 billion years!
This was the final step—if something went wrong because of him, it would be a colossal responsibility beyond what Innocent could bear!
A single Cosmos Seed took a million years to brew, and this was the most critical one!
Hua Hong's forehead burst into sweat, but he waved his hand and laughed:
(︶⇀︶٥)ﾂ "Hai~ don't joke with an old man like me; it's not funny at all!"
"How could the Cosmos Seed dissipate? Only when it's taken does the Cosmos Flower wither into spiritual light. This is clearly the reaction of having been taken. Don't think you can fool me, an old man!"
"Quick! Bring out the Cosmos Seed and let everyone see it!"
But Innocent grew anxious:
(ง‧̣̥̇･ˇ益ˇ･)ง "No! I'm not joking. How could I joke about something like this?"
"The Cosmos Seed really vanished. I didn't get it!"
At this moment, the Bose Body in the field was stunned, and murmurs broke out!
Hua Hong's smile gradually faded; Innocent really didn't seem to be joking!
His face turned completely cold:
(￢_￢) "Innocent! Don't tell me you think such a clumsy method can fool so many eyes here?"
"Everyone clearly saw you holding the Cosmos Seed! This isn't something you can bluff your way out of!"
"After all, it's a treasure that can break through to the Cosmos Realm. Not everyone can resist such temptation. Do you think the higher-ups sent me merely as a guarantor? Also as supervision! Every move you make will be reported through me to the Star-Devouring members of our clan!"
"Hand over the Cosmos Seed now! I can pretend this never happened. Once we leave this Realm Heart Space, everything will be as usual!"
But Innocent exploded, veins bulging on his forehead!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅ꐦ) "What do you mean? Are you accusing me of embezzling the Cosmos Seed? How could I do something so stupid? I..."
Hua Hong roared: "Then where is it? Only you approached the Cosmos Flower! Did the Cosmos Seed vanish into thin air?"
"You have a bright future—don't ruin it here! Even if you took the Cosmos Seed, do you have the chance to use it? In this vast starry sky, will there be any place for you?"
"If you anger Zu Xun like this, only death awaits you!"
"You're destroying your own future, you know? Hand it over now! I'll count to three! Three!"
Innocent was furious: "I didn't take it! Where am I supposed to find it? The Cosmos Seed really disappeared!"
But the other Bose Body's gazes toward Innocent turned suspicious!
Whispers erupted:
(ﾉ)◔3◔ิ) "Sss~ No wonder Innocent was asking so many questions earlier—he had ulterior motives for the Cosmos Seed!"
(￢﹏￢٥) "Has Lord Innocent gone mad? How could he possibly take this Cosmos Seed?"
"Eh... understandable. He's a genius-level existence. Such a massive opportunity right in front of him—once obtained, he could even become the strongest in the starry sky, surpassing all. It's normal to lose his head."
"Lord Innocent is foolish! If he takes Zu Xun's Cosmos Seed, even he won't survive, right? This is no small matter!"
Hua Hong's expression was dead serious: "Two! Innocent! Don't push yourself to the edge. You know the consequences of betraying the Bose Clan!"
Even Zhong Xu grew anxious:
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Brother Innocent, check again! Did you accidentally leave the Cosmos Seed somewhere on you?"
"As long as you bring it out and say a few nice words to Uncle Hua Hong, this will blow over! I know Brother Innocent's desire to be the strongest, but this isn't the time to rush!"
Innocent completely lost it. This damn huge pot was being shoved onto his head!
(ꐦಠ益ಠ) "I really didn't take it! Even you don't believe me now?"
Zhong Xu said anxiously: (｡･ˇ﹏ˇ･｡) "I believe you! I do! But you need to take out the Cosmos Seed, or else..."
Innocent's eyes turned red: "You believe me, yet you still tell me to take it out?"
(ꐦథ益థꐦ) "I don't have it! The Cosmos Seed disappeared! I didn't get it! I'm not lying!"
Hua Hong narrowed his eyes: "One! Since you're stubborn, don't blame me, an old man, for being ruthless! Seal the Realm Heart Space!"
"Suppress Innocent until he hands over the Cosmos Seed! If this thing is lost, we'll all lose our heads!"
"Attack!"
Originally, they were somewhat afraid of Innocent's might, but when they heard that failing to recover the Cosmos Seed would cost them their heads, they had to grit their teeth and move in!
So the group surrounded Innocent, and some Bose Body even blocked the exit of the Realm Heart Space!
"Lord Innocent, please hand over the Cosmos Seed. Don't make things difficult for us brothers!"
"Everyone saw you grab the Cosmos Seed. Even if you wanted to embezzle it, you should have come up with a better excuse!"
"If this continues, none of us will survive. Please..."
Innocent: !!!
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared:
(ꐦ⋟益⋞ꐦ) "I didn't take it, didn't take it, didn't take it! How many times do I have to explain?!"
Hua Hong glared: "Then tell me! Where did the Cosmos Seed go?"
Innocent raged: "How the hell would I know? It's just gone!"
Hua Hong ground his teeth: "Then it must be you who took it! Attack!"
The group of Bose Body charged at Innocent!
It wasn't that they were suspicious without reason—everyone saw Innocent grab the Cosmos Seed, and he was the only one who approached it!
There was no one else in the Realm Heart Space besides them, and no one else could enter!
Coupled with Innocent's earlier questioning and behavior—
Who else could have done it but Innocent?
Zhang San on the side was having a field day. He pulled up his pants！
(ཀσ՞ꇴ՞)σ "Ah, right, right, right! He took it! The Cosmos Seed is definitely not in my pocket! Get him! Get him!"
Innocent looked around the Realm Heart Space with fury:
"It wasn't me! The Cosmos Seed couldn't have vanished into thin air! It must have been taken! There must be someone else in this Realm Heart Space! Who is causing trouble?!"
"Come out! If you have the guts, show yourself!"
But Hua Hong didn't care about that. He had to restrain Innocent first, or with such a huge incident, if no one took the blame, none of them would survive!
He pulled out a long spear from behind and thrust it fiercely at Innocent!
Innocent's eyes widened. He instantly drew his blade and swung—a violent ten-colored world-destroying blade light surged out!
It sliced open Hua Hong's shoulder and sent him flying far away!
Innocent leaped up, his glazed horn shining brightly as he frantically scanned every corner of the Realm Heart Space!
(ꐦ◣益◢ꐦ) "Come out! Damn it, come out! I, Innocent, will never rest until you're dead!"
Hua Hong spat out a mouthful of jelly, shocked at how fierce the young generation was!
"Innocent! Are you rebelling? You dare hit me? Stop!"
Zhong Xu cried out: "Brother Innocent! Stop! Don't escalate this any further!"
Innocent glared: "Get out of my way, all of you! Who are you? Where did you hide the Cosmos Seed?"
The other Bose Body trembled before the rampaging Innocent. Who could possibly suppress him?
Zhang San put his hands on his hips:
ᕙ(ཀಠꇴಠ།)ᕗ "It's in my pants pocket! Come and get it if you can! Hahahaha!"
But Innocent searched every inch of the Realm Heart Space and found no trace of anyone besides the Bose Clan!
Could it be that he secretly took it and embezzled it, then fooled himself into thinking he didn't?
All the evidence pointed to him!
But the Cosmos Seed really had vanished!
"Damn it! Damn it all! It's not inside, so it must be outside! Did it go out?"
"Don't let me catch you!"
With that, he rushed toward the exit of the Realm Heart Space!
Hua Hong panicked: "Don't let him out! Block him! Block him! If Innocent gets out, God knows where he'll take the Cosmos Seed!"
But ordinary Bose Body couldn't stop Innocent!
He broke through the blockade with a single slash!
Hua Hong shouted: "Chase him!"
The group of Bose Body chased after him, and Zhang San quickly rushed out of the Realm Heart Space. Otherwise, if they locked the safe and he got stuck inside, that would be bad!
Meanwhile, Li Si was anxiously waiting outside with the Stealth Corps!
It had been so long, and Third Brother hadn't come out. Could something have gone wrong?
Just then, a massive ten-colored blade light shot out of the Realm Heart Space entrance!
Li Si jolted. Something happened?
The next moment, Innocent charged out with his blade, eyes bloodshot and murderous, scanning around as if searching for something.
Hua Hong and the others followed closely behind!
Gang Xiu's mechanical eyes flickered. What was going on?
Hua Hong roared: "All Bose Body! Stop this rebellious scoundrel! Don't let Innocent escape! He is guilty!"
The other Bose Body were stunned. What happened? How did Lord Innocent become a rebel?
But Innocent didn't care. He slashed out—a high-dimensional strike flashed in an instant!
The void curse array formed by the combined Bose Body was blown apart by Innocent's blade!
The fierce blade light flew far away, even cutting a gap in the meteorite sea!
At this moment, Innocent raised his head and bellowed to the sky: "Who! Who is it?!"
A surge of ten-colored particles erupted from his glazed horn and spread outward!
Just as Gang Xiu was wondering what was going on with the Bose Clan—
Zhang San came running out of the Realm Heart Space, holding his pants, covered in blood!
Li Si was terrified. What had happened inside?
(ﾟ┏口┓ﾟ)ﾂ "Third Brother?"
Zhang San turned toward the Stealth Mechanical Corps, a sinister grin spreading across his bloodied face!
He pointed a finger at the Stealth Mechanical Corps!
(ཀ◞ิ̫◟ิ)☛ "Existence Erasure: Release!"
He instantly released the existence erasure on all mechanical units except Li Si!
The next moment, Innocent froze!
His bloodshot eyes shot directly toward the direction of the asteroid!
Not just Innocent—Hua Hong, Zhong Xu, and all the other Bose Body looked that way!
Gang Xiu even felt his gaze lock with Innocent's!
Tao swallowed a mouthful of synthetic oil:
[┐'_'┐٥] "Lord Gang Xiu? Is he looking in our direction?"
Gang Xiu said calmly: [┐≖‸≖┌] "No need to worry! The Stealth Mode has passed the test, hasn't it? We tested it before."
"They just happen to be looking this way. They haven't discovered us. No need for concern."
Ying Shi nodded:
[┐ˇ_ˇ┌] "Yes. We must trust in technology."
But then, a dozen veins bulged on Innocent's forehead. His eyes were red as blood, murderous intent blazing!
He ground his teeth and pointed:
(ꐦథ益థ)☛ "Damn Silicon! It's you!"
Gang Xiu: [┐'～'┌] Huh?
