Chapter 669 - 373: You Call This a Star God?

The Female Bag Race’s mind began to whir.

Just then, the male Bag Race finally entered the Magic Cube. He looked up, locked eyes with Su Ze for a split second, then hastily bowed his head and pleaded for mercy.

"Sir, I was in the wrong back on Thousand Illusion Star. Here are the Shadow Stones you traded me. I’m returning them all to you now, along with some other treasures. Please, take them as compensation."

As he spoke, he presented a Space Pocket with both hands.

Su Ze took the Space Pocket, glanced inside, and sneered. "Is this it? Did you not understand what I just said? I told you to hand over *all* your valuables!"

The pocket’s contents were substantial, but it was by no means the Bag Race couple’s entire fortune. For one, several valuable items Su Ze had seen when the male Bag Race was running his stall were missing from the bag.

"This is really all we have. We have many children and have to pay a huge amount in child support every time we return. Our expenses are massive. Many of the things you saw at the stall weren’t even mine. Others just left them with me to sell on consignment," the male Bag Race explained, or rather, tried to argue.

The Pope called him out. "What expenses could your Bag Race possibly have for raising children? Don’t you just let them drink a little milk in your Nursing Bags, and once they’re grown, you dump them on some planet to fend for themselves?"

"It really is all we have! If you don’t believe me, you can search our ship yourself. Whatever you find is yours."

"Do you take me for a fool?" Su Ze scoffed. "You’ve been swindling people for years, and this pittance is all you’ve saved? What kind of con artists are you? You might as well go get a nine-to-five."

He wasted no more words. With a mere thought, metal plates extended from the top, bottom, left, and right within the Magic Cube, forming a rectangular metal box that sealed the male Bag Race inside.

Su Ze broadcast a message directly to the Bag Race’s spaceship. "I gave you my trust, but you’ve shown no sincerity. In that case, don’t blame me for what happens next."

With that, he piloted the Magic Cube and resumed ramming the Bag Race’s ship.

One ram, then a second, dented and deformed the surface of the Bag Race spaceship.

And this was with Su Ze holding back. He had his eye on their ship; after all, it was a Moon God-level Spaceship and incredibly valuable. It would be a real shame to destroy it.

The Female Bag Race inside the ship grew desperate. Her mind raced, and she quickly shouted, "Stop! I surrender! I’ll give you everything!"

’I’ll leave the ship with all our valuables,’ she thought, ’but I’ll just wait outside. I won’t set foot on his ship. I’ll make them send someone out to collect the payment.’

’If they send a Moon God or a Sun God, I’ll hand over the goods obediently. If not, I’ll strike immediately.’

’I suspect there aren’t any real powerhouses on his ship, but I have to compromise for now. Otherwise, they could just stay inside and ram my ship to smithereens, and there’d be nothing I could do.’

’This way, I can lure them out of their ship and test their strength at the same time.’

’If there really are experts on Su Ze’s ship, they’ll surely send one of them to collect the spoils.’

At her words, Su Ze stopped the assault and waited for the Female Bag Race to emerge.

A moment later, the Female Bag Race emerged from her ship. She flew a few hundred meters away and stopped, holding a storage artifact in her hands. Her voice transmitted across the void.

"Please come forward to receive it, Sir."

Su Ze smiled. He had a pretty good idea what the Female Bag Race was planning, but he wasn’t concerned.

After all, he had planned on sparring with her anyway to test his current strength.

A Bag Race Moon God was considered among the weakest of all Moon Gods. If he couldn’t even defeat her, it meant he wasn’t yet capable of hunting those a realm above his own.

More importantly, he had a Tier-8 Divine Artifact to aid him this time. It would be his greatest asset in this battle against a higher-level opponent.

Instead of leaving his ship immediately, Su Ze took control of the Magic Cube again and slammed it violently into the Bag Race spaceship, knocking it far into the distance. He then positioned the Magic Cube to block the path between the Female Bag Race and her vessel.

This was to prevent her from using the ship’s weapons against him, and also to stop her from escaping back inside.

The Female Bag Race jumped at the sudden movement. Like a startled bird, she instinctively turned to flee, but when she saw the Magic Cube make no further move, she stopped.

At the same time, this only strengthened her conviction. ’There are no experts on his ship. Otherwise, why would he be so cautious?’

Su Ze left the Pope and Mr. Ya in control of the ship, then exited the vessel himself and flew toward the Female Bag Race.

He remained on high alert, however, never letting his guard down.

When the Female Bag Race saw that it was only Su Ze, a mere Star God, who had emerged, she was ecstatic. ’Once I capture him,’ she schemed, ’how should I blackmail the people inside the Magic Cube?’

On the surface, however, she put on a fawning smile, presenting the storage artifact with both hands. "Sir, after you accept this, please don’t forget to release my husband."

Su Ze didn’t answer. A rope-like tether appeared in his hand, shot out across the distance, wrapped around the storage artifact in the Female Bag Race’s hands, and began reeling it back in.

Just as the storage artifact was about to fall into Su Ze’s hands, a ripple of spatial energy pulsed. The artifact vanished, and in its place appeared an extremely unstable sphere, pulsing with terrifying power.

"Detonate!"

The Female Bag Race let out a vicious laugh, moving to detonate the sphere of energy.

But how could Su Ze have been caught off guard? He had already maneuvered 299 Shadowless Needles to a position behind the Female Bag Race. In an instant, all 299 needles struck as one, piercing into her body.

The Female Bag Race let out a bloodcurdling shriek, but at the same moment, the energy sphere in front of Su Ze detonated violently. The terrifying power it unleashed was enough to grievously wound any Star God.

But Su Ze had already locked onto the Female Bag Race and activated his skill: Rhino Charge.
