Chapter 556: The Protagonist Who Lost the Universe's Favor
Wang Wei looked at the mechanical cube that shimmered with a mechanical glow and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. "Finally, I have the Galactic Cube. This S-level secondary dimension is no longer needed, so I won't have to worry about the three major powers eyeing it again."
The journey had been extremely perilous. The S-level secondary dimension where the Galactic Cube was stored was as vast as the one that housed the Life Scepter, naturally drawing the attention of various interstellar civilizations. After he sneaked in, he drew significant attention.
After all, many knew that he had once gained control of an S-level secondary dimension at an incredible speed, which made them wary of him.
Fortunately, this time, obtaining the Galactic Cube didn't require him to control the S-level secondary dimension. Otherwise, he would likely have faced a blockade by the three major powers.
Even if he was willing to give up the secondary dimension, it wouldn't end well. One time could be considered luck, but if it happened twice, anyone with a clear head would know something was amiss, and the three major powers would conduct a joint investigation.
They would definitely realize that it wasn't about the secondary dimension but that he had a special ability.
After integrating the Galactic Cube into his body, he waited for the White Death Battle Armor to connect, but after three minutes, there was no response.
"Strange, what's going on?" Wang Wei muttered to himself, completely baffled.
However, it wasn't a big issue. The Galactic Cube was activating, and it seemed that because he had gathered the three treasures of the GROX Empire, which had some connection, they were merging bit by bit. Currently, they looked like a cocoon of light within his body.
He tried to use them, but his expression suddenly changed. "I can't use them. What's going on?"
"During the merging process, I can't use the three treasures? Perhaps these three treasures of the GROX Empire were once a single item?"
This thought eased his mind. It was a good thing, but before that, he needed to leave the secondary dimension quickly and find a safe place to wait for the treasures to merge completely.
He soon left the chamber and glanced at Xue San, who was guarding the entrance diligently. He couldn't help but feel a bit gratified. This little brother was a model subordinate, tireless and unpaid, with a single interest in killing. In another place, this hobby might be problematic and even illegal, but in the universe, it wasn't so clear-cut.
"We've got what we came for. We need to leave this secondary dimension as quickly as possible," Wang Wei said hurriedly and led Xue San away.
However, Xue San looked at Wang Wei with a "what the heck, what do we do now?" expression.
This made Wang Wei feel a bit strange. It was the first time he had seen Xue San with such a complex expression. Previously, Xue San had always been a deranged killer, and this sudden change left him at a loss.
"Um, let's hurry up and leave. It's too dangerous here. One misstep, and we could be in trouble," Xue San said, following Wang Wei's lead.
"This doesn't seem like your style. I thought you'd say we should kill them," Wang Wei said as he walked ahead, with Xue San following behind.
"I want to kill, not be killed. You need to understand the difference," Xue San said, his eyes fixed on the back of Wang Wei's head, as if he was about to make a move.
Wang Wei, of course, sensed something amiss, feeling a chill at the back of his head. He turned to look at Xue San, thinking it must be a delusion. After all, how could Xue San harm him?
Although Xue San was a bit eccentric, Wang Wei knew he was loyal and would never do such a thing.
"Can you stop staring at the back of my head?" Wang Wei asked.
"Then where should I look? How about here?" Xue San's gaze shifted downward, landing on Wang Wei's buttocks.
This made Wang Wei shiver. He thought Xue San's focus on his head was better.
"Ah, just keep looking at the back of my head. Follow me and don't get lost," Wang Wei said, regaining his composure. He felt it was important to stay serious to avoid any issues.
The two left the secondary dimension smoothly, guided by Wang Wei's past memories, and reached the exit.
Naturally, they left brazenly. What else could they do? Sneak out quietly?
For the various interstellar civilizations, their target wasn't the resources within the secondary dimension but the secondary dimension itself. As long as you didn't take ownership of the secondary dimension, they generally turned a blind eye to what you took from inside.
They had wanted to be bold, but this was not a situation where boldness would work. The universe was filled with many civilizations, and they couldn't afford to look too greedy.
After a simple inspection, Wang Wei and Xue San were arranged to leave the secondary dimension, their hands empty.
As for storing it in a folding space? That was even more absurd. Folding space was high-end equipment, priced at billions per cubic meter, with the currency mainly being that of the three major powers.
Moreover, even if they had it, it would mean they weren't to be trifled with, and it was best not to offend them, lest these ruthless individuals lash out. After all, not everyone had the means to spend billions to acquire a cubic meter of folding space.
"Where do we go next?" Xue San asked once they were back on the spaceship.
This spaceship was bought by Wang Wei. Among various spaceships, it was considered a mini-type, capable of supporting ten people for ten years, equipped with certain interstellar weapons, and was the most popular model for lone wolves or small mercenary teams.
Fortunately, Wang Wei had sold the S-level secondary dimension where the Life Scepter was stored. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to buy the spaceship outright, let alone make a down payment, and would have had to struggle alongside other mercenary groups.
He hadn't initially planned to buy it, but upon arrival, he found it on sale. Thinking about it, he realized that once he obtained the Galactic Cube, the supreme treasure of the GROX Empire, he would be the most powerful mechanic in the universe. Owning and upgrading his own spaceship would be a perfect idea.
Even a purchased spaceship couldn't compare to one modified by the greatest mechanic.
Moreover, he thought about the White Death Battle Armor. Perhaps he could find its origin and enhancement methods within the Galactic Cube.
Learning? He didn't need to. The Galactic Cube was a powerful AI. Once activated and connected to the White Death Battle Armor and the spaceship's systems, it could help him create any type of powerful weapon he desired.
"Let's find a place to rest for a while. We've been rushing non-stop, and we need to relax and adjust before taking on more missions." Wang Wei naturally couldn't say he was waiting for the three treasures of the GROX Empire to merge. This was as important as his secret of rebirth and could not be disclosed.
So, he casually gave Xue San a reason.
Xue San nodded, "By the way, I feel like you've changed."
"Changed? How could I have changed?" Wang Wei's heart tightened. Could Xue San have noticed the merging of the three treasures of the GROX Empire?
But he quickly dismissed this thought. Was that even possible? It was impossible.
With Xue San's limited strength, how could he have discovered such a thing?
"Didn't you feel it? That's a bit strange," Xue San said, and then suddenly attacked. His Gargoyle-class armor appeared, looking extremely menacing.
Wang Wei was completely caught off guard. He only saw Xue San suddenly equip an unknown battle armor and attack him, and then his consciousness went dark, and he knew nothing more.
"Command room, it's been taken care of. Arrange the teleportation, here are the coordinates." Xue San immediately contacted the Endless Abyss.
His actions had been approved by Qin Muye.
The reason for his attack was simple: Wang Wei had lost the powerful talent of the universe's favor.
Before obtaining the Galactic Cube, Wang Wei still had this talent, but after obtaining it, it disappeared, indicating that he was no longer the protagonist.
The situation was sudden, and without the universe's favor, Wang Wei's value had significantly decreased.
His value had dropped so low that it was no longer suitable to let him roam freely; he needed to be brought back under control.
So, Xue San acted without hesitation.
Without the universe's favor, Wang Wei's mindset and ideas meant he wouldn't last long.
Wanting to seize opportunities? The butterfly effect alone would be enough to cause him trouble, let alone the lack of sufficient luck. Surviving death would no longer be a frequent occurrence; more likely, he would be killed by stray bullets or an unknown area-of-effect attack.
The protagonist treatment was the key to his current strength. Otherwise, how could he have obtained the three treasures of the GROX Empire? Just by being reborn?
