Chapter 406
Chapter 407 Gilded River War
Cedric was the first to rush out.
It was already his third escape attempt.
He and Bruce were held in different sections. The moment he heard the news, he ran to find Bruce, hoping they could escape together.
Sometimes, Bruce’s abilities were extremely useful. Honestly, he was the ideal assassin.
Cedric didn’t feel confident escaping by himself.
When he finally located Bruce, Bruce was operating a mining machine.
After a year and a half of forced labor, his fear of mechas had disappeared.
It had faded away without any treatment.
The reason was simple. Once he was no longer around Joanna, no one treated him like a fragile
person anymore.
Sure, teammates sometimes gave him a little slack.
But the terrible and harsh living conditions made everyone irritable. Many people got ignored.
On top of that, after he started worshipping an evil god, he had to keep increasing his spirit intake. If he didn’t, he would have lost his mind already.
With all those things combined, Bruce’s condition slowly disappeared on its own.
“Bruce, hurry up. Our friends are here again. I told you, the Space Alliance is useless. Their defense system is full of gaps. We were bound to find a chance sooner or later. Only the evil god is truly powerful p>
Bruce stayed silent for a short time before replying, “Just leave without me. I’m staying p>
Neil and Lucas were gone. After drifting through life for more than a year, he felt exhausted.
Even if he had no strength now, so what?
Even if he had to mine forever, so what?
He had a strange feeling that leaving wouldn’t change anything anyway.
He would never surpass Joanna, and she would never look back at him.

Finished
He’d been thrown in jail again, stripped of everything. His spirit was already crushed, and now he’d sunk deep into his own mind, losing all hope.
He didn’t care to fight anymore.
Cedric snapped, “Are you nuts? If you stay here, you’ll mine until you die. Come with me, and we’ll live like kings. That evil god will give us real power p>
“Live like kings? I’ve never seen that p>
Bruce said flatly, “We’d be hiding and running like rats. I wasn’t even this pathetic when my home got raided. Sometimes we don’t even have the internet. Here, at least they let me online for two hours a day out of some humanitarian care p>
Cedric glared over and jabbed a finger at Bruce’s nose.
“Don’t tell me you’re wasting that time watching Joanna’s livestreams! When are you going to stop simping? She’s already screwed us over! She killed Neil and Lucas! Instead of avenging them, you keep watching her? I’m done with you! If you’re staying, then stay! I’m out p>
Cedric spun and ran.
Bruce went back to the rig numbly, thinking it was just karma.
They’d wronged Joanna first.
Meanwhile, Cedric made it onto the rescue ship without a hitch.
The cultists led him straight to a lab.
“Well, well, you actually angered that top prodigy, Joanna? You poked the bear, my friend. Don’t worry. We’ve got tech to break those cuffs. Come on, let’s go to the lab p>
Cedric hesitated. Last time he and Vincent had escaped, they’d used a simple trick to slip off the cuffs and even cleaned up the Space Alliance’s criminal logs.
This time, though, it made sense to be cautious. His charges were heavier. He’d stirred up Joanna, so the system probably had stricter controls and tighter locks.
Those cultists just wanted to inspect him carefully and had no bad intentions,
Relaxing a bit, he followed them into the lab, Layer after layer of circles covered him, marking
his soul.
Something felt wrong, but he couldn’t quite put a finger on it.

Then, in an instant, an arrow tore through his skull. His body dropped dead right there.
His soul shot straight into the evil god’s arms.
“Mark the dimension now p>
“This plane looks familiar p>
“It’s Dimension No. 132,688, currently called Joanna Dimension p>
Everyone just stared at one another.
In the end, they could only send Joanna the plane’s coordinates.
But she was already inside the Decennial Universe, and the signal in that special zone was terrible.
In the Decennial Universe, the Human Warrior Alliance was about 320,000 light-years outside the Human Star Domain.
At the Gilded River zone, Joanna piloted her ship toward a strange sight in space.
It was a supergalaxy that could rival the Milky
Every planet was packed with dense metal energy.
Asteroid belts formed a massive river where raw energy surged, carving a scene like the legendary Gilded River.
Metal energy flowed like liquid gold, hiding inside.
Every race was diving in, fighting over loot.
War could erupt any second.
As Joanna got closer, the system spoke.
