Chapter 508 Bounty Mission 4

"After being refined by a psychic, can the black stone destroy a star?"

El and Tiberus both had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They stared at Gaia with their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open, as if an egg could fit in them, their eyes full of shock and confusion.

It was hard to imagine that the originally insignificant black stone, after being refined, could possess such earth-shattering power, capable of easily destroying a star. This power was beyond ordinary people's imagination and was terrifying.

"That's right. Once the black stone is refined by advanced technology, it can effectively isolate the adverse effects from the subspace.

When it falls into the hands of a psychic and is refined, it will be like opening a door to an endless treasure trove of energy. It can continuously draw powerful energy from the subspace and erupt with destructive power that is enough to destroy the world.

That is why the great Star Lord covets the Black Stone."

Gaia methodically explained in detail to Tiberus and El. His voice was steady and powerful, and every word struck their hearts like a heavy hammer, making them realize more deeply the huge potential and value of the Black Stone.

Tiberus frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face. He looked at Gaia in confusion:

"I really can't understand. Since the Black Stone has such an unparalleled and huge effect, why doesn't the great Star Lord go out and search for it himself?

With his unparalleled strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find the Black Stone in the vast Milky Way!"

Facing Tiberus's question, Gaia couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "Alas... In fact, things are far from as simple as they seem.

The number of black stones in the Milky Way is extremely rare, and most of them are hidden in some extremely remote corners. Even for a being like the Star Lord, it is not easy to accurately find these black stones in the vast galaxy.

As for the more detailed situation, Gaia had no intention of revealing it to Tiberus and the others. Given their current abilities, if they knew too much inside information, it would not only be unhelpful to the development of the matter, but might even cause unexpected trouble.

Seeing Gaia's reluctance to elaborate, Tiberus understood. He knew he shouldn't force her, so he tactfully stopped asking. However, he couldn't help but ask:

"Respected Lord Gaia, I only want to understand one thing now. If I tell you the exact location of the Black Stone, can I get the Emperor-class battleship I've always dreamed of in exchange?"

Gaia didn't immediately respond to Tiberus's question. After a brief pause, he asked:

"Let's not rush into negotiations. Tell me first, what is the scale of the black stone planet you discovered?"

Upon hearing this, Tiberus' mind quickly flashed back to the image of the Black Stone Planet he had witnessed. After a moment's reflection, he replied coherently:

"According to my memory, the diameter of that black stone planet is about 3,000 kilometers."

Hearing this, Gaia couldn't help but show surprise on her face, obviously shocked by the scale of the Black Stone Planet described by Tiberius.

"It's a full three thousand kilometers! This is truly a number that cannot be underestimated... It seems that the value contained in this black stone planet is extraordinary.

How about this? In return for providing you with this important intelligence, we will not only grant you an Emperor-class battleship, but also a large quantity of sophisticated weaponry. Do you find these terms satisfactory?

When Tiberus heard Gaia's offer, his originally calm and imposing face was instantly filled with extreme joy, and he nodded hurriedly in response:

"Satisfied! Absolutely satisfied. Respected Lord Gaia, your generous reward makes me burst into tears of gratitude!"

At this moment, Tiberus' heart was filled with excitement. He only needed to reveal the Black Stone's location to Gaia, and he would gain an incredibly powerful Emperor-class battleship.

There were also countless and dazzling arrays of weapons and equipment. Such a deal was undoubtedly a bargain for him.

In fact, at the beginning, Tiberus's bottom line for this transaction was just to get an ordinary cruiser.

After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes the majestic cruisers and the terrifying Emperor-class battleships of the Star Navy galloping across the battlefield.

If he could use an Emperor-class battleship as the flagship of his Carcharodon Chapter, what a glorious and glorious thing it would be! The other chapters would be envious beyond recognition.

Gaia, standing opposite, stared quietly at the ecstatic Tiberus before him. After a moment's silence, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and spoke again:

"In addition to this, I have also decided to allow your Carcharodon Regiment to expand its personnel from the current 3,000 to 5,000.

This is the most generous reward I can offer you. I hope you will live up to my kindness and continue to achieve more glorious exploits on the battlefield in the future."

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Gaia-sama! We will definitely not let you down."

When Tiberus and El heard the final reward from Gaia, they were immediately overjoyed. They saluted Gaia respectfully again and again with an extremely humble attitude.

"Point out the location of the black stone!" Gaia waved at Tiberus and the other man, and a huge holographic projection appeared in front of them.

In this huge holographic projection, the vast, boundless, and brilliant map of the entire Milky Way is fully presented!

For the Void Dragons, who once roamed the galaxy, their powerful memories were enough to deeply imprint the entire galaxy map in their minds. So, now that this precious galactic map fell into the hands of an art student, it seemed like a joke played by fate.

Tiberus and El, who were standing aside, stared at the huge and complex map of the Milky Way in front of them with confused and helpless expressions.

They stared wide-eyed, carefully observing every twinkling star and the intricate galaxies, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not recognize the familiar part of the Milky Way from the map.

Although the Astartes Chapters of the Human Empire are said to be fighting all over the vast galaxy, in reality, most of the time they only fight bravely within the limited territory occupied by the Human Empire.

After all, compared to the entire vast Milky Way, the territory occupied by humans is less than one-fifth of it!
