Perhaps to confirm these people’s speculations, as the encirclement advanced toward the underground black market.

The Security Bureau agents would occasionally take action to deal with some superhumans located along their path who had a certain notorious reputation.

They moved with astonishing speed, brazenly charging into the targets’ residences, swarming them with clean, efficient methods.

The entire process often took less than 20 seconds, and another slightly infamous individual would be eliminated.

This directly illustrated what “something done in passing” meant.

Loren, perceiving this absurd scene from the sky, silently complained: Friend, mixing personal agendas into official business is not advisable…

Perhaps constrained by the Federation’s lenient attitude towards the Radiant Flow Star Domain, these Security Bureau agents, finally released from their cages, seemed to be venting.

All the criminals within the massive encirclement who had ever appeared in Security Bureau intelligence files were being purged, regardless of the reason.

The most excessive part was that Loren even saw several fighter mechas in the air descend during this process to participate in group beatings labeled as “justice”…

“Master, I think I understand now why people on the forums have that attitude towards the Security Bureau…”

Raven, also perceiving this scene, began complaining in Loren’s mind.

Hearing this, Loren nodded in agreement, then continued flying leisurely behind the mechas, practically becoming a copy of Retab Collin.

As time passed, that enormous encirclement began to gradually shrink.

Security Bureau agents and fighter mechas converging from other directions also appeared within Loren’s perception range.

Due to Loren’s massive surge in spiritual power, the range of his fully extended spiritual perception had finally reached a respectable ten thousand meters.

If an ordinary Eighth Tier psychic’s spiritual power was compared to 800, then Loren’s current spiritual power was at least four times that.

This value didn’t even include the spiritual power Raven possessed.

Loren, who had always relied on his psychic ability to attack enemies in the past, could now be considered a strong individual even without using his ability.

Loren, who had once relied on the bizarre nature of his ability to dominate, had finally added power called “numerical value.”

Coupled with physical strength comparable to a Ninth-rank Martial Artist, he had finally filled his last shortcoming.

If not for the fact that Loren’s spiritual power hadn’t fully adapted to his newly enhanced body, making him somewhat drowsy, he might have even wanted to find a Legendary-tier powerhouse tonight to engage in a direct fight and test his combat prowess.

When Loren perceived all the forces forming the encirclement, he quietly counted the number of personnel the Security Bureau had deployed tonight.

Approximately over one hundred thousand superhumans, nearly a thousand fighter mechas, one Legendary-tier powerhouse…

And when Loren next perceived the Energy Department personnel quietly following behind, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

“The Digital Currency Bank must have truly crossed the Federation’s bottom line,” Loren couldn’t help but sigh.

In Loren’s perception, those guys from the Energy Department had also dispatched personnel, following discreetly outside the encirclement.

Tens of thousands of superhumans followed outside the encirclement, advancing slowly.

The Energy Department’s nearly thousand fighter mechas didn’t take to the air either, instead advancing low-key on the ground.

Loren hadn’t perceived any Legendary-tier powerhouses from the Energy Department yet, perhaps because they were concealing their auras…

“What a grand spectacle…” Loren murmured softly.

“Master, I even suspect that in the starry sky above the Main City, interstellar warships are already on standby,” Raven also voiced its speculation in Loren’s mind.

Hearing Raven’s guess, Loren looked up at the starry night sky and nodded quite approvingly.

With two major departments jointly deploying two thousand fighter mechas, this possibility wasn’t out of the question…

Although the Federation was decaying, it hadn’t fallen yet… Loren silently assessed in his heart.

Just as Loren gazed at the starry sky, wondering if an interstellar warship was still hidden in the distant cosmos, a massive golden teleportation array suddenly appeared above the Digital Currency Bank.

Countless figures descended from this golden teleportation array, quickly gathering to the left and rear of the Digital Currency Bank.

These people who descended via the teleportation array all wore modern attire different from the Federation’s. Most wore sleek, form-fitting black robes with a burning crimson flame pattern on the back.

Only a very few wore simple, primitive animal hides. However, on the right arms of these hide-clad individuals, a burning crimson flame was also tattooed.

The crimson flame pattern symbolized the stolen fire taken from the hands of the gods.

It also represented that these people came from the famously notorious “Fire Thief Cult” within the Star Realm.

Meanwhile, directly in front of the Digital Currency Bank’s entrance, an illusory altar also appeared.

After flickering for a while, a bronze-colored light gate materialized above the altar.

Immediately after, endless devils of various shapes and forms walked out from the light gate above the altar.

There were giant humanoid beings, 4.5 meters tall, covered in dark red scales, with tattered flesh wings on their backs, and a tail covered in barbs. They had heads resembling mastiffs, and their thick hands held metal whips.

There were humanoid beings with perfect physiques and enchanting faces, with pairs of black flesh wings on their backs, clad in revealing black armor, wielding burning flame swords.

There were also bizarre, non-humanoid creatures, their overall form resembling a giant beetle, yet with scorpion-like tails and claws like an eagle’s, with faces covered in densely packed feeding orifices.

There were also skeletons, mere bones, that walked out from the light gate, with dried goat skulls for heads and what seemed like empty wing skeletons behind them.

There were even monsters covered entirely in sharp spikes that emerged, with burning flames entwined around their spiked bodies.

…

After an endless number of devils walked out from the light gate above the altar, that gate flickered strangely once more.

After a long moment, a tall figure, three meters in height, slowly walked out from the light gate.

This tall humanoid figure was surrounded by inextinguishable flames, clad in a black robe as luxurious as fine silk, with white patterns adorning the neckline of this noble garment.

Most peculiarly, this figure, which exuded the scent of sulfur, also possessed a human face—handsome and dashing.

When this figure completely stepped out of the bronze light gate, the flames burning on his body gradually extinguished.

If not for the sulfur scent he emitted, an unknowing person might have thought he was just an exceptionally tall human.

The light gate behind him also gradually crumbled and vanished after he exited, and the altar beneath his feet turned into black ash, as if its power had been exhausted.

Standing atop the black ash, the figure clad in the silk black robe calmly swept his gaze across the scene. The devils of various forms surrounding him all lowered their heads in submission.

He ignored the many bowing devils, instead closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

“The scent of the Star Realm remains so alluring…”

A magnetic voice brimming with endless temptation rang out, echoing above the heads of the many prostrate devils. Some of the lower-tier devils couldn’t help but tremble.

“I smell countless delectable souls…”
