On the other side, on the planet nicknamed Planet Xenomorph 1 by Ringo, Black Spider had just arrived with his crew. Black Spider ventured into the hostile atmosphere with Ringo's clone, now also Grade A, using its energy for a temporary evolution, allowing Black Spider to survive the hostile planet. As for Rick? He was passed out drunk somewhere on the ship.

  As he walked away holding a rolled-up golden scroll, he waited for a moment on the hard, blackened earth, until the scroll began to glow and heat up. Black Spider seized the moment to open the scroll and point its contents ahead of him.

  The next moment, a beam of energy shot from the scroll, the energy flew only a few meters before spreading into a golden oval shape. Over time, the image through the portal became clearer, until it was completely clear. On the other side, Aquamarine, with a group wearing protective clothing, passed by quickly.

  The gate scrolls were actually based on two scrolls, when one was active, the other would be active simultaneously in another location, creating a channel between the two points.

  As soon as the gate opened, Ringo went through first, followed by Emma dressed in protective gear and then the Xenomorphs advanced.

  With the food provided by Ringo, the initial group of 12 queens now numbered over one hundred soldiers.

  The queens went first, followed by the soldiers. Without waiting for further orders, each queen began to disperse in different directions, each followed by smaller, yet nonetheless lethal, xenomorphs.

  The environment seemed perfect for them, Ringo had worked hard to make it happen, but the work had only just begun.

  Given the speed at which these creatures are spreading, in a short time the planet, which already had few life forms, would become a complete desert.

  The portal only lasted half an hour, but Ringo could use another one to return, so while Black Spider quickly left after making his delivery, he stayed with Emma to help her speed up the process.

  So Emma began to work, scattering seeds on the ground while using her energy to help them sprout quickly, wherever they went, a wooded area rapidly grew.

  The plants had different types of colors, but all were adapted to the ecology of this planet.

  Plants were designed to absorb harmful elements from the planet. In the future, when all useful resources have been extracted by the Xenomorphs, these plants would die, the insects used to feed the Xenomorphs would die, and at that point, with an environment perfectly suited for life, they could create a new, sustainable ecosystem.

  For the next few weeks, Ringo planned to wander this planet with Emma, helping her with his energy and accelerating the growth of insects, the constant use of his ability, covered by Ringo's evolutionary energy, would do wonders for Emma.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  Ringo even allowed her to be exposed to the planet's harmful environment for part of the day to help her adapt, eventually, she would likely reach her first evolution.

  The days passed and the auction of the War Zone was in sight.

  A large number of people of all races were moving towards an upper floor, where the auction would be held.

  Among them, Ringo's clone still looked like Black Spider.

  The first clone was still traveling on the ship and the second was on Aquamarine, this was the third, which he managed to create after advancing to Grade A.

  This clone didn't yet have a clear purpose, but it was useful for participating in this auction at this time.

  The upside of the communicators was that you could log into any of their accounts, even with super energy being used as the password, each of Ringo's clones had the same energy signature, so it was the best type of password available to him.

  Even if it were discovered, Black Spider's ability would still be there, until now, no one had discovered Black Spider's powers, only that he was an Esper, but he could explain his power as cloning at any time.

  In any case, this would ensure that he wouldn't easily attract attention, even if he were in two places at the same time.

  As he walked towards the auction, Ringo saw a large group approaching, armed and in distinctive uniforms. With just one look, Ringo recognized them, they were the Blades.

  The Blades mercenary army is one of the major mercenary groups of the shattered star ring, each with thousands of members at its disposal. Besides the Blades, there were also the Purple Gold Army and the Sky Ring Army arriving with their own groups.

  It probably wasn't the main lineup, but for them to appear, it meant there were good items showing up in that auction.

  Ringo looked away as he walked toward the open auction area, hundreds of thousands of chairs arranged in a semi-circle in front of a large platform and dozens of VIP booths were located on the upper floor.

  There were no assigned seats, anyone could choose where to sit, but the seats in the front were already occupied. Ringo has good eyesight, so he wasn't worried about not being able to see the items, plus a holographic screen on each seat would directly show what was being auctioned off.

  People didn't even need to shout, a simple click on the digital interface could process their bids. The only reason people sat in the front row was excitement.

  Ringo chose a seat in the back, without bothering to try and fight for "good" seats.

  Sitting there, lost in thought, he activated his vision of the future as he considered the possibilities for the auction.

  A smile quickly spread across his face, assuring him that not only would there be good things, but that he would be able to bid on some of them.

  Compared to large commercial groups and large armies, his economy might have been somewhat smaller, but compared to 99% of the rest of the auction, he was like a tycoon.

  The flow of people kept increasing and soon the vast majority of seats were completely filled.

  It was at this point that a woman entered through the stage curtains, she looked human, except she had blue skin and red hair, wearing a black dress that slid across the floor while her heels clicked across the smooth surface.

  She was beautiful, that was a fact, almost as beautiful as Hila, but Ringo wasn't paying attention to that now, he was focused on her, waiting for the auction to begin.

  There was no microphone, but as soon as the woman opened her mouth, her voice was heard directly through each participant's communicators, this was to be expected, after all, there were even more languages than species in the explored galaxy.

  -Welcome to the annual War Zone auction, our lord Al Jabar welcomes you all...- The woman smiled as she began to introduce the start of this grand event.
