Cosmic Professional Gladiator

Xu Jingming nodded. "Aren't you afraid of the calamity?"

"Planetary lifeforms like us have short lifespans, and a calamity only happens every 10,000 years or so. People just blame it on their bad luck to encounter one." Qiu Qingke thought nothing of it. "In this world, we can encounter criminal gang members on the streets walking. The probability of being killed by them is much higher than encountering a calamity."

Xu Jingming was slightly stunned. Is this what ordinary people think?

"Oh, I've reached Lv. 5." Qiu Qingke suddenly came to a realization. "I'm about to become a cosmic lifeform."

"Then, are you still afraid of the calamity?" Xu Jingming asked.

"What's the point of being afraid? I heard that it's unavoidable. Any part of the Ansu Star Alliance might encounter a calamity. It's useless even if we escape to other Star Alliances," Qiu Qingke said.

Xu Jingming knew very well.

In fact, there were a total of three cosmic sectors, including the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, that bordered the Hellions.

Cosmic lifeforms could migrate, but it was usually very difficult for them to leave a Star Alliance! As for leaving a cosmic sector? Cross-sector travels… were something ordinary cosmic lifeforms couldn't afford.

"Since it's unavoidable, I'll just resign myself to fate. I'll accept it calmly when my life comes to an end." Qiu Qingke grinned. Just like my parents—they abandoned me and went on a cosmic trip. That's something I have to accept as well.

"Best of luck. Perhaps fate will favor those who don't give up." Xu Jingming looked at him.

"Favor?" Qiu Qingke felt helpless. "The thing that gives me the biggest headache now is the Chaluo Group. The Chaluo Group is rooted too deeply in Jishui. Sigh…"

"Choose any room on the second floor and get some sleep," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Everything will be better when you wake up."

"Uncle Xie, home isn't somewhere I dare be now." Qiu Qingke was also exhausted. He had just broken through to Lv. 5 after a battle. Believing that he had fulfilled the terms of his contract and was about to escape his quagmire, he was then attacked by assassins, ultimately to be saved by this man.

Xu Jingming watched the youth go downstairs to rest. He whispered, "Many people treat the calamity as their fate? Encountering it just boils down to bad luck?"

When can we defy the heavens and change their fate?

"Nine, check Planet Jishui's planetary system and understand the Chaluo Group and the various criminal organizations," Xu Jingming instructed.

"I've already done so. The records of all the three billion people on Jishui have been successfully established," Nine immediately replied. "Master, you can look up the records of the large criminal organizations and key members at any time."

As an Origin lifeform, Xu Jingming read the files in the virtual world with a thought.

"Sentence the 79 cosmic lifeforms, including the leader of the Chaluo Group, to death," Xu Jingming said softly. "Nine, update those crimes with the Primordial Research Institute."

"Yes," Nine replied.

Then, Xu Jingming enveloped the entire planet with a thought and locked onto the 79 Origin lifeforms.

The 79 Origin lifeforms silently disintegrated.

The evidence of the crimes wasn't gathered by Xu Jingming but by Primordial Battle Armor #9. Primordial Battle Armor… was connected to the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute! Its data had legal credibility.

After the Primordial Battle Armor was connected to the Primordial Research Institute, the criminals were sentenced to death in accordance with the Cosmic Human Alliance's laws! As the owner of the Primordial Battle Armor, Xu Jingming had executive rights.

The leader of the Chaluo Group, many key members, and the 79 sinful cosmic lifeforms on the entire planet disappeared that night.

Xu Jingming didn't stir even after crushing the 79 people to death. He was more worried about the second Hellion raid.

…

On a small spaceship, the leader of the Hellion team and his female companion looked at the bustling planet in the distance.

"Captain, it's almost time for the second wave," his female companion reminded him.

"Be quick about it later," the leader instructed. "Exterminate the humans first before plundering the planet's precious resources as quickly as possible. We have to withdraw in 30 seconds. All three members of Congro's team died… It might be bad luck, or some powerful Origin lifeform is hiding in the Ansu Star Alliance."

The female companion nodded. "Understood."

"Countdown: 30, 29, 28…" The female companion began the countdown. At this moment, the other Hellion Origin lifeforms in their team were also preparing.

Although the entire team was scattered and plundered the habitable planets without any specific patterns, the attacks were done in unison.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" The female companion and the leader of the Hellion team had already exited the spaceship and silently put it away. The two of them concealed their auras completely.

They had to hide perfectly before the attack.

"Attack." The Hellion team leader brought his female companion and teleported into the atmosphere of the bustling administrative planet.

This administrative planet was very prosperous, and more than ten billion people lived here.

The moment the two Hellion Origin lifeforms descended—

Huh? A cold man painting on the street looked up suddenly. There were many infatuated women around him, waiting in line for this cold and handsome man to sketch them.

When the cold man looked up, it was the moment the Hellion team leader and his female companion teleported.

"Two Hellions—a Lv. 10 and a Lv. 9," the cold man whispered.

His whisper… sounded in the ears of the leader and his female companion.

"Not good." The expression of the Hellion team leader changed drastically. He looked around in horror.

The surrounding spacetime was stacked on top of each other as if hundreds or thousands of administrative planets were stacked together. It was bizarre like a maze.

Mirror Domain! Humanity's Jane? The leader of the Hellion team guessed who the human powerhouse was when he saw the terrifying mirror domain.

The person with the highest achievements in the Mirror Domain among cosmic humans—a terrifying existence ranked in the top 20 of the Primordial Research Institute, call-sign 'Jane.'

A cold man appeared amidst the layers of spacetime and looked down at the leader and his female companion.

"Jane of all people?" The leader of the Hellion team smiled. "It's my honor to die at Jane's hands."

He was also sending out a critical signal, but the signal couldn't be transmitted.

Once Mr. Jane's Mirror Domain was set up, it was like an independent world. There was no room for escape.

At the very least, although the team leader was also a Lv. 10 powerhouse, there was a difference between the two Lv. 10s.

"Did you kill the other three members of my team?" the leader of the Hellion team asked.

"There are plenty of powerhouses among us humans!" Mr. Jane looked coldly at the two Hellion Origin lifeforms. Under his gaze, the layers of spacetime constantly collapsed and shrank.

The Hellion leader and female companion struggled with all their might as they roared and brandished their weapons. The might was enough to shatter stars, but under the layers of spacetime, they failed to shatter a single layer of spacetime.

The entire Mirror Domain's spacetime collapsed, and the collapse accelerated until it completely collapsed into a singularity. The forces involved were so immense that they were crushed.

…

The cosmic human race was mainly on guard against the Void Celestials. The three cosmic sectors at the border with the Hellions didn't have many garrison forces. Only about 5,000 Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms and about a million experienced Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms were deployed, coupled with a large number of technological weapons.

To deal with the Hellions, they only mobilized about 10% of the available Origin lifeforms—far fewer than the forces meant to defend against the Void Celestials.

The truly top combat forces of humans, including cosmic legends, were mostly focused on the Void Celestials.

"The Ansu Star Alliance has 21 Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms, including me, and 65 Lv. 9 Origin lifeform teams scattered around to guard the area. I heard that there's also a mysterious guardian who can provide extremely fast reinforcements." Mr. Jane was the president's envoy of the Ansu Star Alliance.

However, he didn't know the mysterious guardian's true identity.

…

The Ansu Star Alliance had many garrison forces that were in charge of their respective areas to carry out pursuits as quickly as possible. However, there were errors in long-distance warping. Secondly, a spaceship wasn't as fast as teleportation, so it resulted in lower efficiency.

Xu Jingming traveled extremely quickly over long distances. For very remote attack areas that others couldn't reach in time, Xu Jingming would be deployed.

A mission!

When Mr. Jane used his Mirror Domain to trap the Hellion leader and his female companion, Xu Jingming—who was reading in his study—also received the mission order. He instantly disappeared.

In less than ten seconds, he arrived at his destination 370 million light-years away.
