When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

In the deep embrace of the boundless universe, Xingyao Port is like a mechanical planet made of steel, emitting a cold and charming light.

Looking from a distance, its huge main body is composed of multiple giant ring structures nested together, which slowly rotate and simulate the gravity environment by centrifugal force.

Countless portholes on the surface of the ring emit warm yellow lights, like fireflies in a beehive. When the outermost protective shield is deployed, it is a shimmering energy light curtain, resisting the invasion of interstellar dust and radiation. Occasionally, a meteor hits, splashing brilliant flowers of light on the shield.

The port's berthing area is bustling with activity. The slender passenger starship stretches out its silver body, the ship's identification lights flash regularly, and the docking channel is like a flexible tentacle, firmly clinging to the ship and transporting travelers of all shapes and sizes from different galaxies.

An inconspicuous private aircraft gradually approached, and Starlight Harbor quickly enlarged in the view through the porthole and soon occupied the entire field of view.

Only then did you realize the exact size of this space station. Compared to it, a spacecraft the size of a residential area is like the difference between a flea and a car.

By the porthole, Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi looked at Star Harbor with curiosity.

It's so big! It's almost like a planet!

Although they had seen the appearance of the former Kara government, which also belonged to an interstellar civilization, this was the first time they had seen an artificial creation of such a large scale.

Is this the real interstellar era?

The two's bodies were trembling slightly with excitement. The desire for the starry sky was a law buried in the genes of every intelligent race, and they were no exception.

Kitahara Xiao looked at the magnificent scenery calmly, with a hint of thought flashing in his blue eyes.

After overthrowing the Kara government, the rebel military government established a better new regime, in which Kara and the Kas had equal legal status.

Raul also fulfilled his promise after the war. This aircraft and the 1 million Enas in the account were gifts from them.

But these external things are not important. The key lies in the supernatural powers and advanced martial arts knowledge dug out from the grave of the former Kara government. Although they are of no use to the disaster-level Kitahara Akatsuki, they are a great enhancement for Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi.

(Knowledge from low to high: basic, advanced, high-end, cutting-edge, ultimate)

For the three of them, entering Star Harbor is the first step to officially start their interstellar journey. It is a neutral public transit station and a huge communication venue where many forces have offices.

It is the distribution center of the intelligence information of the Bika star cluster. It can be regarded as a transportation center city. It has many functions and even rents and sells rooms for people to live in for a long time.

In Kitahara Akira's plan, Starlight Port is an important place for the first phase of operations. Many operations will extend from here. If his action plan in the Bika Star Cluster is regarded as a spider web, the Juberly Hub is the center of the web.

Kitahara Akira's first plan was naturally to create a mercenary group of only three people to take on various high-level tasks and obtain the various resources they needed.

Before separating from the Gate siblings, Kitahara Akira had heard him say that the best way for a superpower to quickly become stronger was to acquire superpower knowledge of the corresponding system.

Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi are easy to deal with. The two B-level ones just need to complete the advanced knowledge, which can be purchased directly at the Star Port.

But the high-end knowledge of supernatural powers that Kitahara Akatsuki needed was not like that. High-end knowledge was basically only kept in the hands of star cluster-level civilizations. Occasionally, one or two copies would be snapped up in an instant on the black market, and there was no way to get them!

Therefore, they can only serve as mercenaries honestly to improve the favorability of star cluster-level civilizations. I heard from Gate that when friction occurs between star cluster-level civilizations, they will also hire disaster-level mercenaries to avoid the loss of their own high-level combat power. In that case, high-level or even cutting-edge knowledge will be used as compensation.

The spaceship carrying the three people lined up and entered Xingyao Port. Except that Kitahara Xiao was routinely asked about the purpose of the visit, there were basically no major problems.

After all, a Calamity-level super-powered person is considered a high-end force in the entire universe, and can receive very good treatment no matter which force they are in. However, it is extremely rare to see a Calamity-level person like Kitahara Xiao riding in an ordinary civilian aircraft.

The three-person aircraft entered a large harbor. The bottom of the spacecraft was embedded in the track and stabilized. The metal door of the port opened. After the spacecraft entered along the track, the port was closed, isolating the outside space and entering a gravity environment from a weightless environment. The aircraft suddenly sank, and there was a bang at the joint of the track.

But because there was a stable internal gravity circulation inside the spacecraft, the three of them didn't feel anything.

The spaceship suddenly shook and stopped.

The hatch slowly opened, revealing a platform as big as a square. The lighting was soft and bright, and the dome was hundreds of meters high, magnificent and spectacular.

Only a port of this size can accommodate various types of spacecraft. At the end of the platform is the passage gate leading into the interior of the space station.

The three of them got off the boat and followed the signs all the way to the service hall, which was dozens of kilometers wide.

In the center of the hall stands a pure white tower reaching to the top of the dome, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

With this tower as the core, hundreds of meters high buildings are springing up around it like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, one next to the other, stacked up in all directions.

These buildings have different shapes, each of which occupies a very large area. Each floor has been built into a multifunctional platform with all kinds of facilities and venues.

There are many bridges between the buildings to facilitate pedestrian travel. Countless bridges are suspended in the air, uneven in height, crisscrossing each other, like a three-dimensional maze, with small public aircraft flexibly shuttling between them.

The ground is also filled with low but large facilities, with stadiums, theaters, open-air squares and the like dotted among the high-rise buildings.

Residents of different races chatted enthusiastically, aircraft roared through the sky from time to time, and the atmosphere was filled with a bustling and lively atmosphere everywhere.

The hub hall has many functions and is divided into more than a dozen different areas.

There are restaurants with unique flavors from various civilizations, serving all kinds of food; there are also shops selling clothing and equipment; there are also a wide variety of leisure and entertainment venues, including performance theaters, bars, racing venues, sports stadiums, and gambling halls.

There are also training grounds exclusively for those with super powers. Gravity training rooms, combat simulation cabins, meditation rooms, and mechanical modification workshops are also common. There are also offices that provide part-time and employment services. Authoritative organizations such as the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and the Magicians' Mutual Aid Association have set up bases here, and consortiums and forces also come to recruit people. The online exchanges in the star cluster area are very lively, and shipyards for repairing spacecraft also have a place among them.

This is the real interstellar era!
