Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 630: Three System

Vesa waved her hand, and the three marked systems expanded.

"The first is Karthos Reach. This one is under the Human Empire faction.

It sits on the border of their controlled space, close to the edge of the known universe."

The hologram zoomed in.

Several planets orbited the star, some tagged as inhabited, others marked as restricted.

"Karthos Reach has four major planets and a belt of mining stations.

The rumor there is a hive incident.

An insect queen appeared on the third planet, and the ecosystem collapsed within weeks.

The Empire quarantined it, but they keep losing people."

Mingyue narrowed her eyes.

"So the queen is strong?"

"Yes. Saryx would see it as a chance to show off, and a chance to embarrass the human empire at the same time."

Alex stared at the red quarantine ring around the planet.

"And the second?"

Vesa shifted the display.

"The second is Vermillion Rift. It’s not clearly owned by any faction.

The star is unstable, and the inner planets are scorched.

The outer planets are cold and full of storms."

A different planet lit up, marked with warning.

"On the fifth planet, there’s a mutated creature.

No one know what it is.

Some say it was a cultivator that failed an ascension attempt.

Some say it was a survivor from ancient titan race.

What we know is It kills anything that approaches, and the energy disturbance around its territory keeps getting larger."

Alex’s frown. "That’s dangerous."

Vesa nodded.

"Yes. If it keeps expanding, it will spread to other system. Trade routes already avoid the system because it’s too dangerous."

Alex tapped the air, highlighting a cluster of missing ship markers.

Vesa moved to the third marker.

"The third is Eidolon Deep. This one is anomaly"

The hologram zoomed further out.

The system looked normal at first, then the view shifted and revealed a wide distortion field across space.

"It has six planets, Two habitable.

One is a research outpost world.

The others are mostly barren.

The rumor here Objects vanish, then reappear in different orbits.

Some people claim they saw a shadow moving inside the distortion."

Mingyue’s fingers twitched slightly as interest sparked in her eyes.

"Seems this creature has mastery over space power. Do you have any idea, Vesa?"

Vesa nodded. "There are multiple possibilities, but I believe it is a scion from the Royal Family of the Asura."

"Asura?" Alex asked, eyes narrowing.

Vesa expanded the intel window beside the star map.

"The Asura are a warmongering species that believe strength is everything.

They don’t have a fixed home planet.

They move as mercenaries for hire.

They also have a culture of sending their descendant on pilgrimages to train their power."

Mingyue’s gaze stayed on the anomaly marker as Vesa continued.

"Each Asura is famous for strong physical prowess, but occasionally an anomaly is born with mastery over an element.

Some control one element, some control multiple, and very rarely one has control over rare elements like space."

Alex looked at the three systems again.

His ability was working at full force, weighing each possibility against the prince’s personality and the current situation.

He pulled up the gathered intel and began calculating even further.

"Based on everything, the first one is our best bet.

If he isn’t there, then the third one becomes more likely.

An Asura with space mastery would be too tempting for him to ignore.

"The competition between the dragon overlords is tense right now. Everyone wants to expand their influence.

Despite the rumors about Saryx, he fights strong beings not just to prove his strength, but to gain approval from others.

He doesn’t want to keep living under his father’s shadow."

Mingyue replied.

"I see. If he kills the hive queen and solves a problem for the Human Empire, it shows his prowess.

At the same time, it becomes a contribution to his father’s faction, because it makes them look better than the Human Empire."

Alex nodded.

"It kills two birds with one stone. And he could also use the chaos to plunder resources from the Human Empire.

Based on the rumor he have hobby, Playing with slaves."

"And his favorite is human," Mingyue added.

The Dragon Federation and the Human Empire had signed a treaty that neither side would buy or sell the other’s species as slaves.

But with the current situation, the prince could take humans for free and claim it was spoils of war, without "breaking" the treaty.

"Then it’s decided, king. We go to Karthos Reach.

How about Alice’s side?"

Alex exhaled.

"Right. I still need to talk to her about the quota and our next move."

While Alex moved to secure the dragon prince, Alice and the elite felidaen would go to Prince Kael and become part of the quota to be delivered to the Human Empire.

Alice planned to use this opportunity to become a spy and find information about her sister Lily, and about Freya and Aimu’s fate.

They still didn’t believe they had disappeared just like that.

They believed something had happened.

Either it was a plan, or they were captured by the Human Empire.

The last one was less likely, considering how the Human Empire treated the felidaen home planet.

From the enemy’s movements, it didn’t look like they were only exploiting the planet’s resources. It looked like they were searching for something, or someone.

Alex sighed, then looked toward the crimson sky.

"So many things to do. Vesa, how about the sovereign we sent to the other factions?"

"They still keep sending reports as usual."

"I see, so they haven’t found them."

Alex shook his head in disappointment.

The sovereign had been sent to find information about vampire survivors and anything related to the Progenitor.

But so far, it was just reports as usual, which meant they hadn’t found any trace of them yet.

"Well, at least they’re not in any danger."

After some rest, Alex than returned back to talk with Alice, while MIngYue enjoy her sweet and some time with Moon.
