"..."
As Lin's voice faded, the bald man's expression shifted slightly upon hearing the words.
"Are you serious?"
He stared straight at Lin.
Lin smiled faintly. "Of course it's true. I promise."
Saying this, he extended four fingers with his left hand.
Seeing Lin's gesture, the bald man frowned slightly.
"What is that gesture?"
Lin blinked gently. "On my planet, this gesture represents a guarantee~ and a promise."
Mhm, it is indeed 'swearing on four'.
"Is that so..."
A look of realization dawned on the bald man's face.
Lin: "..."
Why do I suddenly feel like his eyes look very innocent?
The bald man hesitated somewhat.
Seeing this, Lin added fuel to the fire:
"I'll give you five seconds to consider. If you're unwilling—I will kill you."
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
The bald man remained indecisive, but when Lin said 'one', he gritted his teeth and finally spoke up:
"Fine, let's try it."
Hearing this answer, Lin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
"First question: your purpose for coming to Planet Parulphis."
"..."
The bald man frowned slightly, a trace of conflict appearing in his eyes.
Lin: "Hmm?"
The bald man took a deep breath. "I came here because I detected the signal of a Devilukean spaceship."
"So I came over to take a look."
Lin: "Just to take a look?"
"That's right..." The expression on the bald man's face looked slightly peculiar.
"Hehe."
Lin sneered. "Look at you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes—do you take me for a fool? You're just lying through your teeth here."
"You say you just came to look, yet you razed this entire area to the ground."
"Dishonest. You must be punished."
Before his voice had even faded, Lin sat up straight and snapped his fingers with his right hand.
With a crisp snap, an invisible space blade instantly sliced off the bald man's entire right arm.
"!!!"
Seeing his right arm fall to the ground, the bald man's expression changed drastically, his brows knitting tightly together in pain.
However, he did not scream.
He abruptly picked up his right arm and pressed the severed ends together.
The nano-armor on his body squirmed.
It rapidly bonded and repaired the incision.
Clearly, it was also equipped with medical functions.
Seeing this, Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued speaking:
"Second question: what is your true identity?"
"If you aren't honest this time, what falls off next will be your head."
The bald man's expression shifted slightly, and he then spoke without hesitation:
"My name is Kate. Outside of the Four Heavenly Kings of Planet Solgaim, I am the Fifth Heavenly King, known as the Destruction King!"
Since there was no rule against revealing his identity, and for the sake of his own head, he stated his identity directly.
Lin: "..."
As everyone knows, it is common sense that the Four Heavenly Kings have five members.
Mhm, very reasonable.
Lin suppressed the urge to retort in his mind and asked again in a deep voice, "Where is your Planet Solgaim located?"
"What do you want to do?"
The bald man, Kate, looked wary.
Lin's strength was not inferior to his own, and his abilities were unique.
He certainly didn't want to let Lin know where Planet Solgaim was.
Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. "You just need to answer."
Kate looked resolute. "I refuse to answer this question."
Lin: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Kate: "I am."
Lin: "Then speak quickly."
Kate: "Impossible. If you have the ability, then just kill me."
As he spoke, he entered his combat form.
A gathering energy photon sword appeared in his right hand as he focused his mind intensely.
Clearly, he would not sit and wait for death.
He had already decided that if Lin really wanted to kill him, he would use his hidden means to blow himself up along with Lin.
Even if he couldn't kill Lin, as long as he could injure him, his death wouldn't be in vain.
"Not bad. You have backbone."
Looking at Kate, who seemed to view death as a return home, Lin smiled appreciatively.
He smiled, then spoke again:
"You may not know this, but I actually really appreciate people like you with backbone. So, I have decided..."
"Decided to let me go?!"
Hearing this, Kate interrupted Lin, expectation involuntarily rising in his eyes.
After all, Lin, with his face full of smiles right now, looked very amiable.
Although he had the resolve to sacrifice his life for Solgaim, if he hadn't reached the final step, he still didn't want to die if he could help it.
After all, Solgaim's great cause of unifying the galaxy had not yet been completed, and he still wanted to contribute to that cause.
Lin looked at him with a smile:
"I decided to grant your wish."
"Really?!"
Kate couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
He hadn't expected at all that Lin would actually let him go.
Lin smiled faintly and said:
"I decided to grant the wish you just made for me to kill you."
"How about it? Don't you think I'm a particularly good person?"
"...You played me?!"
Kate froze, then flew into a rage.
Lin feigned confusion. "How did I play you? I don't recall saying I would spare your life just now."
"It was you who misunderstood."
"Damn it, let's die together!"
The furious Kate hesitated no longer. He directly activated his final resort. The nano-armor over his entire body instantly detached.
It rapidly assembled in front of him.
It transformed into a Star-Shattering Bomb.
However, before the bomb could explode.
"Freeze!"
Lin's voice rang out.
Invisible space power instantly confined Kate and the Star-Shattering Bomb. The Time Card emerged, unleashing a Time Stop.
It froze the time of the Star-Shattering Bomb.
Subsequently, the Decomposition Card appeared, directly turning the bomb into molecules.
"Safe travels. May we never meet again."
Lin said with a smile, looking at Kate, who was left wearing only his underpants, eyes wide and face full of disbelief.
The Decomposition Card flashed with light.
A powerful force of decomposition broke Kate down from the molecular level.
The Codex of All Things successfully lit up.
Lin opened the Codex of All Things with anticipation.
Unsurprisingly, it was a Golden Codex.
After all, this was an existence capable of destroying a planet.
*Nickname:* Kate Solgaim
*Rank:* Gold
*Introduction:* Fifth Heavenly King of Solgaim
*Obtained:* Mid-level Planetary Energy
...
"It turned out to be energy..."
Looking at the Codex reward, a trace of surprise flashed through Lin's eyes.
But energy was fine too.
Anyway, it could improve his strength.
He just didn't know how useful this Mid-level Planetary Energy would be.
With a thought, he claimed the reward.
Immediately, Lin clearly felt his maximum energy limit rising rapidly, crossing the checkpoint to reach SSS level.
After obtaining the Boros ability template, it had improved to SSS-, and now it went a step further to reach S level.
He belonged to the average level of Planetary grade.
Previously, he was at the lower level.
He had only relied on various abilities and infinite energy to achieve victory against stronger opponents.
After claiming the ability, Lin dismissed the domain and returned to the outside world.
Only about five minutes had passed since he deployed the Domain Expansion.
On the other side, several light-years away.
Aboard a massive cosmic battleship.
When Kate was taken into the Domain Expansion: Kingship Territory by Lin, the connection to his various signals here was also cut off.
Such as communication signals and life status monitoring shared signals.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Kate's subordinates finally decided to report this matter to Kate's brother.
The Second Heavenly King of Planet Solgaim.
Keiz, known as the Invincible War King.
