Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 679 - 353: Mirror Planet, Parasitic Civilization
The vast expanse of the starry sky, a colossal and dazzling planet slowly rotates.
Around the Bright Star, various-sized asteroids orbit it, occasionally brushed by sleek and impressive-looking spaceships. They vanish into the Void in one moment, then reappear the next beyond the galaxy-like atmosphere of the Bright Star.
On a seemingly mundane and barren planet, Qin Shou stood atop a dune, gazing solemnly at the twinkling stars above.
"As expected of a Divine Realm Expert, managing to use the Mirror Planet as a hub to capture numerous celestial bodies and forge them into a magnificent star system. Truly remarkable!"
Countless planets revolved around the Mirror Planet, not only intercepting cosmic meteorites but also serving as bases for interstellar warfare. This ensured the battlefield would never reach the Mirror Planet.
Witnessing the scene, Qin Shou felt his heart sink. The difficulty level of obtaining the Mirror Core from the Divine Realm Expert of the Mirror Planet seemed almost unimaginable.
However, since Brother Monkey had located this Star Domain via the Light and Dark River, there was no way he would let this region go.
After contemplating for a moment, Qin Shou decided to head to the Mirror Planet to investigate the specifics of this Star Domain.
Of course, before doing so, he would need a disguise.
The magenta belt appeared, and he swiped the card to switch identities.
"Buzz..."
"Mirror Drive..."
The mechanical synthesized voice echoed as light and shadows converged, a smooth mirrored surface scanning Qin Shou’s entire body. His appearance swiftly transformed into mirror-like smooth skin.
Using a card crafted from the Mirror Core, Qin Shou now appeared, at least on the surface, to be a genuine Mirror Planet Person.
As for accessing Mirror Space, that wouldn’t pose much difficulty.
The Mirror Core in the card radiated brilliance, the Void rippled with mirrored waves, and a colossal disc-shaped spaceship emerged in projection. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Using a Kid Star People spaceship wouldn’t raise suspicion on the Mirror Planet. As a civilization steeped in warfare, it was commonplace for the Mirror Planet to seize such ships.
Upon entering the ship, Cosmic Energy gathered as the braking system activated, and the massive ship sped towards the Bright Star.
Thanks to modifications by Big Big Wolf, the disc-shaped spaceship now operated on Light Energy. Qin Shou casually placed the energy converter in the ship’s cabin, causing Light Energy to surge and significantly boost the spaceship’s speed. In a blink, it turned into a streaking meteor and vanished.
With Qin Shou’s current strength, his personal speed greatly surpassed that of the spaceship.
However, he wasn’t here to show off this time; keeping a low profile was more fitting.
...
Beyond Mirror Planet’s atmosphere, ships of varying designs shuttle back and forth. Though the disc-shaped spaceship Qin Shou controlled was relatively large, it wasn’t particularly noticeable.
Through the galaxy-like atmosphere, the disc-shaped spaceship wove among scattered mirror-like specks. Some mirror specs bypassed the ship’s protective shield and infiltrated the cabin, but upon sensing the Mirror Core within Qin Shou, they silently retreated.
Noticing this, Qin Shou stroked his chin thoughtfully.
It seemed they hadn’t aroused the Mirror Planet’s suspicion.
Sliding his fingers across the virtual interface, buildings towering and crystal-clear like water emerged vividly before Qin Shou’s eyes.
In the interface, the Mirror Planet People could be seen coming and going within these crystalline structures. Many sights unfamiliar to Qin Shou unfolded one by one.
"So these Mirror Planet People truly live within reflective mirrored surfaces. Just as I’d imagined."
Qin Shou smirked, then turned his gaze to the virtual interface’s depiction of the most common massive crystal fortresses.
They were war fortresses!
And the armies assembled by the Mirror Planet People!
Upon the fortress square, teleportation devices built with giant smooth mirrors shimmered. Troops from the mirror army moved in and out ceaselessly.
Qin Shou squinted slightly, observing such frequent military deployments.
Could the Mirror Planet still be in a state of warfare?
If that were the case, it would imply that during the previous battle on the Heavenly Artifact Continent, the Mirror Planet hadn’t deployed its full forces.
That was a bitter realization.
After fighting for so long, the Mirror Planet hadn’t even gone all out.
Guiding his spaceship to land at the docking station, Qin Shou disembarked with a group of Monkey Avatars disguised as Mirror Planet People. Sweeping a glance across the densely packed ships in the dock, he turned and spoke.
"Brother Monkeys, I’ll leave this to you."
"Heh heh, don’t worry..."
"We’re off now..."
"Wait for good news from us..."
The Monkey Avatars waved farewell, their figures blending into the smooth surface, scattering towards the surrounding crystal structures.
Gathering information didn’t require Qin Shou to act personally.
"Honored guest, I noticed you’ve just returned from outside. Would you need to recharge your card?"
At that moment, from the smooth ground emerged a Mirror Planet Person clad in formal attire. Making a slightly peculiar gesture of courtesy, they asked with a warm smile.
Feigning a calm demeanor, Qin Shou nodded but quickly showcased an exaggerated expression of regret.
"Ah, I encountered a Cosmic Monster while outside. Lost several spaceships, and my card was gone too. Please help me get a new one!"
"What a pity! But no worries, honored guest, please follow me, and I’ll prepare a new docking card for you immediately."
"Docking card?"
Qin Shou suddenly realized—it was essentially a "parking fee."
He followed the Mirror Planet Person into the smooth ground, arriving swiftly at an opulent crystal building.
"Honored guest, may I see your identification?"
The Mirror Planet Person stepped to their workstation and beamed.
Qin Shou nodded and presented a silver card he had prepared long ago.
These were spoils of war acquired on the Heavenly Artifact Continent.
The Mirror Planet Person took the card and scanned it across the virtual interface.
"Oh? Honored guest, according to this, it says you’ve already perished on the interstellar battlefield?"
The Mirror Planet Person was initially startled, but quickly pieced it together.
