2021-12-21 08:58:43As Clover was thinking about how to handle the situation he was currently in, the impatient voice of General Esler suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Feeling very disgruntled and impatient, General Esler demanded, "I will as one more time. Do you agree to an inspection willingly, or do we have to forcefully detain you until you are willing to cooperate?"
"You have 30 seconds to come to a decision or we will immediately detain you and forcefully inspect your ship."
General Esler's words were harsh and domineering as he insisted that Clover make a choice, which was not really much of a choice for him.
Clover frowned as he considered his options. To be honest, Clover didn't have many options. The only choice left to Clover was to comply or be forcefully detained.
Neither of those choices was good for Clover because either way, he would not have any advantages in this situation.
Of course, there was also the option of clover refusing to comply a

After Clover decided to play along with them, he waited to see what General's Eslers next move would be. He really wanted to see what this inspection was really about.Suddenly, Clover felt an abrupt tug and his spaceship jerked forward, causing him to lose his balance and lean toward the control panel of his ship. Clover quickly tried to regain his balance before immediately trying to find out what had happened.Looking up, Clover could see multiple red alert messages flashing across the holodeck. These messages kept on flashing constantly in Clover's vision, causing him to go dizzy just from seeing them popping up one after the other.Quickly closing his eyes to relieve the headache that was starting to assault him, Clover swiped his hand across the alert messages, causing them to disappear from sight. Then, while massaging his temples, Clover called out."Trudy, what just happened? Why is the ship moving?"Clover called Trudy to answer his quest
Immortal Destiny Entering The Green River Middle Realm
Clover's words were meant to sow doubts and suspicion in the minds towards the people of the blackthorn border fortress in the minds of the others waiting to enter into the realms. The thing is that people with the ability to travel between realms were not simple. They were usually from certain forces that had considerable influence in the universe. Although those who travel between realms by going through the void between realms would not be from powerful forces since more powerful forces had direct means to cross realms, it was still not wise to underestimate these forces. All forces, no matter how small, as long as they had the ability to cross between realms, would definitely possess certain secrets that they wouldn't want to share with others. Especially for smaller forces in the universe. Although their secrets might not be worth much in the universe, they were still the foundations on which that force relied to grow. If these secrets were leaked or stolen by o
Immortal Destiny Rip Off
"Damn those bastards... they are really ruthless!"Clover cursed out loud in his ship after leaving the blackthorn border fortress. Currently, his ship was cruising through the void towards the green river in the distance. After the inspection that Clover still had doubts about till now, he was let to go back and join the line to pay the toll to enter into the green river middle realm.The thing is that despite all that had happened, Clover had to start from the back of the line all over again and line up in order to pay the toll to enter the realm. This discovery had made clover very annoyed. The fact that he would have to start all over again left a bad taste in Clover's mouth.He did not know if the blackthorn border fortress did it on purpose, but Clover decided not to say anything and obediently queued up once again. Unfortunately, this was not the reason clover was cursing.The actual reason that made Clover so mad that he cursed was the exorbitant
Immortal Destiny Rapids
The method to enter the green river middle realm was by using a special coat of fluorescent paint to coat the outside of a space vessel. The materials used to create this coat of paint were unknown, as it was the greatest secret that belonged solely to the four overlords of the green river middle realm.After paying his very expensive toll, Clover went ahead to a spot further inside the fortress where those who had already been granted access to the middle realm would go to get their pass.This pass was naturally the paint that was needed to enter the green river. Without if one would be quickly dissolved into a mess of goo should they enter the corrosive green river carelessly.The paint was green colored and Clover watched as his original silver spaceship was completely covered in green paint that showed in the darkness of space, making his spaceship look like a huge glowing piece of space rock.Clover found the green color to be tasteless and tacky.

Immortal Destiny Houndclaw Space Station
Clover made up his mind... he was going to gamble for his own survival.With his mind made up, Clover immediately started giving instructions to Trudy."Trudy, are you there?""Yes Clover, I'm always here.""Good," Clover responded."Listen up Trudy, we are going to make a big move. I'm sure by now you already understand our current situation. You should also know what we need to do if we want to get out of this alive.""I'm aware, Clover," Trudy answered."I've already run the calculations and have come to the conclusion that our chances of surviving this ordeal are less than 3%. Our current speed is already too fast for the ships to handle. If we were to be forcefully flung out right now and crash into another fast-flowing current without the shields to protect the ships, we will suffer from hull integrity. This could lead to the river water flowing into the ship and causing further damage. In the end, the worst-case scenario is tha

Clover woke up to the feeling of his head splitting apart. A severe burst of pain jolted Clover awake, causing him to shoot straight out of his bed."Damn it!" Clover cursed out loud."What the hell happened to me? I feel like my head is about to split apart from the seams."Clover hurried used his hands to massage his temple to relieve the headache he was feeling. At the same time, Clover quickly took in his surroundings.With great difficulty, Clover managed to recognize his current environment. Looking at the familiar pieces of bland furniture, Clover realized that he was in his room on the 'Going Broke'.Noticing this, Clover was confused."How did I get here?""Wasn't I still in the cockpit before?"Clover had some doubts about his current situation. Because of his headache, Clover's memory was currently blank, and he was having difficulty remembering what had happened before he fell asleep.Just as Clover was tryin
Immortal Destiny Expecting Guests
"This is what has been happening since you fell unconscious, Clover," Trudy began. "First of all, we have successfully escaped from the green river and no longer need to fear for our lives for the time being." Clover perked up as he listened to Trudy's words. Her first sentence brought a smile to Clover's lips. reacting quickly, Clover said to Trudy, "That is great news Trudy... how were you able to manage it without me?" Clover was curious and hasty to know how Trudy had managed to get them out of that dangerous situation despite him falling unconscious and their ship being unable to scan their environment. In response to Clover's question, Trudy answered, "Unfortunately, sir, I will have to disappoint you. I am sorry to say that I had no hand in getting us out of that dangerous situation." "What!!" Clover was surprised... He didn't expect to hear that from Trudy at all. "In that case, how did we get out?" Clover asked
Immortal Destiny Changes In The Still World
Shortly after Clover woke up, he immediately got to work trying to do his best to get his ship into working condition while also preparing for the arrival of their guests.It was only when Clover started working on the ship he understood how truly dire his situation was.All the main thrusters had been fried after being overworked when they tried to escape the green river. The ship was only relying on the backup thrusters to cruise through space, but their speed was very dismal and it would take them a very long time if they wanted to reach any habitable areas.Then there was the fact that without the scanners, they couldn't navigate their way in space. Fortunately, Trudy had managed to fix some of the short-range scanners and get them back to working condition, so they were not totally blind in space. This way, if there was a dangerous object or asteroid heading their way, they would be able to detect it in time and evade it. Although if Clover was so unlucky a

Pride Comes Before The Fall
Before Ktulu was able to call out, the Vogul had already grabbed Clover by his shoulder. He was just about to pull Clover to his side when suddenly, Ktulu, with fear and trepidation in his hand, suddenly rushed to tackle him, prying the Vogul away from Clover.Dum!There was a dull sound of collision as Ktulu pushed the Vogul away from Clover, causing the two of them to crash and tumble to the ground.This sudden turn of events caught everybody by surprise. Especially the Vogul, who felt like the wind had been knocked out of his lungs, leaving him wheezing and gasping for breath.Ktulu was not in a better state than him. In his hurry to stop the Vogul, Ktulu had not held back at all to reach him in time. Because of that, he had misjudged the amount of strength in his charge. When Ktulu knocked into the other Vogul, he ended up hurting his arm against the solid chest of his opponent, leaving him in pain and with his shoulder dislocated.This couldn't be helped at all. Although the othe
Self Directed Performance
The confrontation between Clover and the Vogul drew a lot of attention, causing a crowd to form around them. The loud clamor of noise then proceeded to draw even more attention and people to them.Ktulu, who was leading the way for Clover, noticed the commotion that was going on at the entrance and his gaze was attractive over there.Ktulu had already gone a bit further away from the entrance, so from his side, he could not see what was going on clearly. But Ktulu did not appear surprised. As he looked at the crowd that was gradually forming, Ktulu also commented."Do you see this, my lord? Things like this are a common occurrence in this space station. The inhabitants here are a rowdy bunch and they like to cause trouble.""Most likely, it is some ignorant newcomer who doesn't understand the ways of the station that is being harassed right now. Serves him right!""You don't have to be surprised, my lord. Probably you will stumble across two or three such scenes like this. It might se
Conflict In The Space Station
Past the docking bay, there was a common area. After going through a few corridors and taking a lift to the upper level of the station, one would arrive at the common area. Here, this was where most of the residents of the space station conducted most of their activities.The Houndclaw space station, as dilapidated as it looked, was still a proper space station. The size of the space station was about the same as Earth's moon. The overall structure of the space station was in the form of a rhombus-shaped brick.There were four places from which one can enter the station depending on the direction one came from. Each of these docking areas had access to an identical common area and from there, one could explore the space station. There were multiple facilities that catered to different needs in the station and, depending on what they were in need of, it was possible to get it.Following Ktulu as he led the way, Clover observed his surroundings. There was nothing much to say about it. T
Arriving At The Houndclaw Space Station 2
There was a line outside the Houndclaw space station, where a simple check was being conducted. Every ship that wanted to enter the station would have to go through the check before being permitted to do so.But like was said, the check was simple, and it was mainly to register the ships that were docking in the station.Unlike other space stations that were very strict, the Houndclaw space station was quite lax in its management. This was because the main population of those that resided in the station was made up of outlaws, pirates, and fugitives of the law.The good thing about this is that there was a minimum guarantee of secrecy when business was being conducted at the station. But as a consequence, the security in the station was terrible.Clover was not concerned with all these factors. He was rather satisfied with the place. Due to how lax the security was in this place, it made it easy for Clover to avoid his pursuers and lie low while attempting to fix his ship. With this s
Arriving At The Houndclaw Space Station
The process of absorbing the life force from the obelisk was very fast. Over time, the feeling of his life order increasing that brought so much pleasure to Clover gradually faded, and the look of pleasure on Clover's face eventually eased. Very soon, Clover let out a breath as everything ended and he quickly composed himself once more. As Clover opened his eyes, there was a dazed look on his face as he recalled the feeling he had just experienced. It wasn't the first time Clover was absorbing life force, but every time he did it; it was still as intense as ever. Clover thought by now he would already be used to it, but that wasn't the case. Every experience was more intoxicating than the last, and the feelings that came with the process sought to overwhelm Clover's will. This feeling was very addicting. Some times, Clover felt like every time he absorbed a bit of life force from the obelisk, a part of him felt lost like something was missing. This feeling came from Clover's body an
Absorbing Lifeforce
Clover looked inside him at the obelisk fragment in the white space. The fragment of the obelisk was irregularity shaped without any well-defined dimensions. It was like a block of twisted metal and it could not look any more ugly. Anybody that saw this object would never have thought that it was a fragment of the legendary artifact, the obelisk.Right now, the fragment revolved on its own axis while giving off a dull resplendent glow as it floated while suspended in the air. Looking at it, the fragment could not look any less remarkable. The only thing that stood out about the fragment was the faint mysterious air that surrounded it.After looking at the fragment for a moment, Clover quickly turned his gaze away. This was not the first time Clover was seeing the obelisk fragment, as it had been with him for more than a hundred years. In all this time, the fragment had not changed, and it remained exactly the same unless for a few rare occasions.This time, what clover was interested
Good News 2
Due to the importance of the obelisk, it was kept closely guarded by the universe's immortal clan. But despite its abilities, the clan never used it. The reason was that using the ability of the obelisk to absorb the life force of other living beings to refine it was the same as killing them. This means if the universe immortal clan wanted to use the obelisk to grow stronger, they would have to constantly kill living beings in the universe to absorb their life force.For a clan that advocated balance in the universe and considered themselves the protectors of life in the universe, this was something that went against their bottom line. They would never consider turning against every living being in the universe just to increase their strength.Even if they wanted to do that, it was certain that other races in the universe would not allow them and they would fight back to destroy this clan of immortals that saw them as prey. This is why the obelisk was also a taboo artifact that was fo
Good News
For the past 3hrs, while he was meditating, Clover had been waiting for this piece of news and now it was finally here. Not wasting any time, Clover no longer paid attention to his still world for the time being. Instead, he looked deeper within himself.Soon, Clover's vision shifted and the scene of his still world changed and was replaced by a completely white space located somewhere inside his body. Clover didn't know where this space was in his body. He only knew that it existed and that inside it, his most important treasure and asset rested.The space was not large, about one cubic meter, and inside it, the fragment of the obelisk that was broken from the main body and fused with Clover floated.The obelisk was the most important artifact of the universe immortals. because of an accident involving Clover and his parents, it was broken and scattered all over the universe with a fragment of it fused with clover and becoming a part of him. The abilities of this artifact were heaven
Mind/Form Singularity
The journey to the Houndclaw space station was uneventful. After settling Ktulu down somewhere on the ship, Clover went back to his cabin to rest and meditate.Having set the coordinates of the space station in the ship's navigation system, Clover didn't have to worry about anything and he could leave the ship to Trudy to watch after. If anything happened during their journey that Trudy couldn't handle on her own, she would inform Clover. Only then would Clover have to come out to deal with it.With everything set, Clover went into his room and started meditating immediately. He was still exploring the changes that had happened in his still world. During the process, Clover found out that the efficiency at which he visualized the vitality of the universe had increased greatly. This made Clover's connection to the universe even closer, and he was able to reap multiple times the harvest during his meditations compared to before.This sudden boon excited Clover, as it meant his strength
