Chapter 1303 Thrashing
This chapter is updated by Wuxia.Blog
While Han Xiao and Oulou were looking at each other, the galactic residents who were watching the broadcast all heard their short conversation in the public channel and were excited.
“Heard that? As long as they can defeat Black Star, he’ll consider compromising.”
“This is an opportunity! If Black Star keeps his promise, defeating him will avoid the all-out war.”
“Come on, the three Universal Civilizations, the peace of the universe relies on you guys!”
“I’m not sure about this. Can the three Universal Civilizations really deal with him? Plus, his attributes on his Wayne Card are way too high now. I don’t think Oulou is his match.”
“Is this really the time to talk about cards? We can’t know who will win till they fight!”
“Speaking of which, if they could decide this with a game of cards, it would be much easier…”
Countless galactic residents were looking forward to it.
It did not matter if Black Star was telling the truth or not, they could only put their hopes on this statement. No one wanted a war; any change was welcome.
At this time, in the eyes of the many galactic residents, Black Star seemed to have become the big villain, and defeating him would protect the peace of the world. Countless people cheered for the three Universal Civilizations in their hearts and hoped to see Black Star defeated the next second.
Inside the three Universal Civilizations’ joint fleet’s main ship, the other direct Beyond Grade As were all in the command room watching the two of them.
“Do you guys think Oulou can beat Black Star?” someone asked.
“He has less than a fifty-percent chance. If Black Star was that easy to deal with, the people above wouldn’t have sent us all.” Verena shook her head.
“Then why did we let him go alone? Although ganging up on him isn’t good, losing a duel will be embarrassing too, won’t it?” Guzar wondered.
“We never expected Oulou to win,” Francisco said. “Given Oulou’s strength and Verena’s enhancement, he’s more than capable of matching up to Black Star. This was mainly a test.”
Verena nodded and explained, “That’s right. It’s already been decades since Black Star last fought. With his growth speed, the data from the past is outdated. Oulou will be able to force out Black Star’s full strength to collect information for us, which will help in making plans. We have ten days anyway, so there’s no need to hurry. Intelligence is crucial in combat.”
The others nodded with agreement.
Having made his name in the universe decades prior, Black Star was already recognized as extremely strong among the Beyond Grade As. Not many people dared underestimate him.
Oulou was a peak Beyond Grade A among the top tier in the universe, one of their strongest. Letting him be the first to test Black Star was already an act of taking Black Star seriously enough.
While the many direct Beyond Grade As had their own thoughts, Han Xiao and Oulou who were in the middle of the battlefield suddenly moved like lightning!
Oulou’s eyes turned bright as he activated the Golden Treasure Ship dimension. The next moment, countless golden beams of light shot out from the rings behind him like a fountain.
Unaffected, Han Xiao’s body shook. Mechanical Force lightning bolts spread instantly, and the mechanical army he hid in his body using (Compressed Orb Innovation -Armed Body] shot out, instantly turning into an enormous mechanical army. The mechanical army set up thick psionic shields in front of Han Xiao, forming a barrier.
Thunderous golden light beams bombarded the psionic barrier. Golden light dust splashed everywhere, and blue-purple electronic bolts danced.
Seeing this, Oulou immediately summoned more golden rings and shot out burning golden light beams nonstop at Han Xiao’s mechanical army, as if he had infinite energy.
His Esper Ability allows him to link with the Golden Treasure Ship dimension and use its energy. He’s another one with infinite mana who excels in large scale attacks, using his infinite energy to exhaust the enemy time after time. The Golden Treasure Ship is a special secondary dimension. The nature of its energy is very destructive, and it also has other utility functions.
Oulou’s information flashed past Han Xiao’s mind as he opened up the secondary dimensional army box, and more mechanical troops swarmed out.
The psionic barrier became many times thicker instantly. No matter how powerful Oulou’s attacks were, the guarding troops in front of Han Xiao stood firmly. Without the need to dodge any attacks, Han Xiao summoned his Divine Mechanical Throne and sat on it to command his troops.
At the same time, the long-range troops in the mechanical army retaliated. Under the lead of the Apostle Weapons, the melee combat troops also charged toward Oulou from various directions.
The two sides entered an intense battle, dishing out countless attacks at each other without restraint. The battlefield was filled with all kinds of explosions and beams.
The three Universal Civilizations’ joint fleet had to move back a certain distance and activate their shields to avoid being accidentally damaged.
Sitting on the Divine Mechanical Throne, Han Xiao looked at Oulou.
Although having infinite mana was one of the special traits of Beyond Grade As, from the way he looked at it, this ability had a weakness that was not really a weakness-no matter how much energy these people had, their power output was still limited. Oulou’s Energy Rank determined his damage output.
Oulou’s Energy Rank was undoubtedly at the top tier, comparable with Kasuyi. After receiving Verena’s enhancements, his Energy Rank even increased by a portion once again. However, compared to Han Xiao’s Energy Rank now, it still came up short.
After spending decades keeping a low profile and growing stronger, the bonuses he received from his talents were massive. His combat capability was astonishing and had the upper hand without even having to use any Character Summon Cards. This was the difference in raw strength.
Han Xiao only took out ten or so Apostle Weapons that chased after Oulou, and Oulou was already having quite a difficult time. With Han Xiao’s Mechanical Force bonuses, the combat capability of his Apostle Weapons was already steadily at the Beyond Grade A level. They could even go a few rounds with high level Beyond Grade As.
There was no need for flashy plays with such a huge advantage! One word could describe the situation of this battle.
One-sided!
“This guy is no match for me. His defeat is only a matter of time… Hehe, all these talents I’ve put in so much effort to obtain would be for nothing if I couldn’t easily beat guys like you.” Watching the battle for a while, Han Xiao grinned, shook his head, and looked at the interface casually.
Not long after Oulou challenged him, the Beyond Grade A Challenge Mission appeared once again. Clearly, this challenge received enough attention to trigger a mission.
The mission requirements and the rewards were still the same, requiring him to last for a certain amount of time, and the best reward was still a Character Summon Card and one of Oulou’s abilities or talents.
“How I love duels. They’re really doing me a big favor.”
Han Xiao laughed in his mind.
While he relaxed on his throne and patiently commanded the army, his talents were activated one after another, continuously increasing his status, and the battle became easier and easier.
Meanwhile, Oulou had a more and more difficult time.
In the eyes of others, the mechanical army was like a swarm of bees surrounding Oulou and attacking him. While the golden light beams that Oulou used with no restraint could wipe out piles of the mechanical army from time to time, the empty areas were filled up very quickly by other mechanical soldiers. Plus, the broken machines also very quickly reassembled and returned to the battlefield right after.
Oulou looked like an insect trapped by a spider’s web who could only struggle meaninglessly, breaking through the siege time after time, then getting surrounded again every time.
Oulou’s expression had already changed. It was grave.
It was not that he had never fought with a peak Beyond Grade A Mechanic, but his attacks would have usually already overwhelmed the opponent’s mechanical army. However, Black Star’s mechanical army never showed any signs of defeat or flaws, wrapping around him like he could not tear it open no matter what.
These ten or so Apostle Weapons were especially strong, making him not only feel quite tired but also unable to let his guard down at all. Any flaw at this point might be fatal for him.
Protracted battles were originally his expertise, but he was losing this one.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Oulou could not help but to look at Black Star, who was behind the mechanical army, seemingly having some ideas. Coincidentally, his eyes met with Han Xiao’s eyes that had a tint of anticipation.
In just one look, Oulou’s heart shivered, and he immediately gave up the thought of charging toward Han Xiao’s original body.
… I almost forgot, this guy isn’t an ordinary Mechanic. If I really go so close to him, who knows who’ll be beating up whom?
Not being able to find a solution, Oulou became more and more irritated. He had no choice but to continue the bombardment. More and more wounds appeared on his body as time passed.
The battle lasted for quite some time, and it remained simple all the time.
Then, suddenly, Oulou’s energy exploded. Golden energy formed a tsunami and blew away the mechanical soldiers around, helping him to get out of the encirclement once again. However, instead of charging toward Han Xiao, he fled in the opposite direction instead and rushed into the formation of the three Universal Civilizations’ joint fleet. Using the battleships as cover, he quickly left the battlefield.
Seeing this, Han Xiao made the mechanical troops stop and did not chase into the joint fleet.
Watching Oulou flee into the main ship, only then did Han Xiao speak in the public channel with a slight mocking tone.
“Is that it?”
Right after he said that, Han Xiao waved and retrieved the mechanical soldiers from the field, as if what he had done was nothing worth mentioning.
Then, he sat back on his Divine Mechanical Throne, held his chin with his hand, and looked at the three Universal Civilizations’ fleet.
“Next, and please let someone who can warm me up come.”
Seeing this, the many galactic residents who originally had high hopes for Oulou felt like their tinder of hope was instantly extinguished.
“H-he lost just like that?”
“Black Star didn’t move from the start to the end, right?”
“Was it too easy for him…”
Countless galactic residents felt a sense of suffocation in their chests.
They thought they would see a close battle; never did they expect to see Oulou lose so easily. Oulou was incompetent, and their passion was wasted.
Most people could not understand the details of the battle. They only knew that Black Star sat on his seat without moving an inch, and Oulou was beaten so badly he had to flee. The two of them had no physical contact at all. It was embarrassing beyond words.
They did not know how strong Beyond Grade As were and could only judge from what they saw. Hence, a question popped up in the minds of many galactic residents…
Is Oulou too weak, or is Black Star too strong?
In the main ship of the three Universal Civilizations joint fleet, the direct Beyond Grade As who saw this were all silent. Doubt and shock flickered in their eyes.
As Beyond Grade As, they were the only ones who could see the details of this battle that looked like it was completely one-sided, and they were terrified.
The strength of Black Star’s Mechanical Force had increased the performance of his mechanical army to a higher level. His Energy Rank crushed Oulou’s!
“How can the difference be this huge!”
Verena widened her eyes with disbelief.
She knew that Oulou’s chance of winning was not high, but never did she expect Black Star to win this easily. Originally, they all hoped Oulou could force Black Star to use all his strength so that they could collect some intelligence. To their absolute surprise, Oulou could not even complete the mission of testing Black Star and was thrashed by Black Star head-on, unable to make Black Star use even one of his trump cards.
Oulou was someone who had top tier strength, not just some nobody. Yet, he lost so pathetically and did not gain an upper hand at any point of the battle at all.
How strong is Black Star now?
“… He wasn’t this strong before,” Clotti said with a grave expression. “The only explanation for this is that he became stronger in the past few decades again and kept it a secret.”
“This won’t be easy,” Guzar said with a serious expression. “Even you probably won’t be a match for Black Star.”
Clotti remained silent and did not refute it. He had no confidence either.
If not because he knew Oulou’s personality well, he would have suspected that Oulou was acting.
“We still underestimated this guy. His feathers have matured…”
Clotti exhaled slowly with a heavy heart.
At this time, the hatch opened, and Oulou walked in.
As he was really afraid that Black Star might kill him, he had fled when things were not going well. He was not heavily injured, but he looked confused and could not accept how easily he had lost.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
The others glanced at him with complicated looks and did not know what to say. Brother, you asked for this. Thanks for being so brave…
Chapter 1304 Something New
This chapter is updated by Wuxia.Blog
Beep beep…
At this time, Verena’s coded communicator rang. The face of the federation’s president, Louis, appeared on the screen with an unsatisfied expression.
The leaders of the three Universal Civilizations were watching the broadcast too and were just about as unsatisfied as they could be about the battle earlier.
“What are you doing? I told you guys to go there to help, not to get beat up!”
“Sorry, we wanted to test Black Star’s strength, but he’s much stronger than the intelligence says…” Verena explained. “… Don’t be so careless again. Oulou losing this easily isn’t good for the federation’s reputation. I don’t want to see it happen again,” Louis suppressed the shock and rage in his heart.
“Okay.”
Verena hung up the communication and sighed.
They had only lost one battle, and their bosses were already scolding them. Usually, these upper echelons would not be as impatient as this, but they were probably shocked by that battle too and could not keep it in any longer, so they quickly hinted for these direct members to not hold back.
She knew very well why the upper echelons summoned all the direct members here. They thought that with so many of them working together, they could at least suppress Black Star by outnumbering him. At the start, Verena was filled with confidence, but not anymore.
The upper echelons had this idea based on the records of Black Star’s strength. However, the last public battle Black Star was in was decades ago when he fought Manison. Back then, the two of them had fought intensely, and Black Star had quite a hard time defeating Mechanic Emperor’s Lord’s Avatar.
Hence, in the eyes of the three Universal Civilizations, Black Star was a bit stronger than Manison at his peak, but not a lot stronger. Therefore, the three Universal Civilizations felt that as long as they sent all their direct members, it would be more than enough to teach Black Star a lesson. After all, they had three peak Beyond Grade As, and God’s Chosen was acknowledged by all as the strongest who could defeat even Mechanic Emperor. There was no reason they would fail.
However, the strength Black Star had just displayed refreshed the three Universal Civilizations’ knowledge. Oulou, whose strength was also in the top tier, lost so embarrassingly, and Black Star did not even use his full strength.
Although they knew that Black Star had remained low profile for decades and that their intelligence was already outdated, the difference was way too huge! “… What now?”
The people suppressed their emotions and exchanged looks.
Being shocked was one thing, but they still had to execute the mission given to them.
Verena pondered for a while and said, “The target’s strength is beyond expectations. Dueling will do nothing. Looks like we have no choice but to fight him in groups. Let’s all discuss how we should deal with him.”
They started discussing it as if they were facing a terrifying enemy.
They were all intimidated by Han Xiao’s strength. Even though they were going to fight him together, they did not dare strik carelessly before coming up with a reliable plan.
Wuornos stood at the edge of the crowd and did not participate in the discussion. He looked through the porthole at Han Xiao, who was hovering in the cosmic space. His eyes kept flickering, and he mumbled in his mind, 11,000 Energy Rank minimum, at least one God’s Trait Transformation route fully completed… Worthy target to turn.
Inside the Mechanical Race’s main ship, the many crew members were thrilled by the results of this one-sided battle and started cheering.
In front of the porthole, Manison looked at Han Xiao’s back in silence. Although his avatar was expressionless, a tsunami was roaring in his mind.
How is this guy so strong? Manison was naturally shocked. His impression of Han Xiao also remained in the last time they fought. It had been a very long time since he saw Black Star fight anyone.
Although he knew he was probably no match for Black Star, he never thought the difference would be so huge. Even if he had to fight Oulou, he could not have done it so easily and casually. It would be an extremely intense and suspenseful battle.
Black Star is becoming more and more unfathomable. How the hell does he become stronger so quickly?
Having realized that Black Star was already so much ahead of him and that he could no longer figure out Han Xiao’s limits, Manison could not help but feel complicated and a little sour.
However, after being down for a few seconds, Manison let it go and sighed.
Maybe only someone like this was capable enough of leading the Beyond Grade As into a higher level… Having a leader like this was a blessing for the Beyond Grade As of this era.
The only thing Black Star lacked was probably accumulation…
Manison’s eyes spun, and he made up his mind.
He was not a petty man. If Black Star had needs, he did not mind lending his machines to Black Star.
With Black Star’s strength and my inventory, he’ll probably have no match in the universe.
“I knew it. The three Universal Civilizations are overconfident. How can they possibly bring out someone who can fight Black Star?”
The four old hermits including Joey were watching the broadcast and looked relieved.
They had fought Black Star only about a year ago and were the ones who knew Black Star’s strength the best in the universe. Back then, their confidence was absolutely crushed and still had yet to recover; they felt shivers every time they saw Black Star.
Earlier, when they saw the three Universal Civilizations only send Oulou to fight Black Star, they were surprised. They thought the three Universal Civilizations had hidden some direct members who were as strong as Black Star, and that made them uneasy.
However, when they saw the one-sided battle, Joey and the others knew that they were overthinking it and worrying for nothing
“The three Universal Civilizations’ intelligence is way too outdated. One peak Beyond Grade A is probably nothing to Black Star.” Joey shook his head.
“They’ll have to fight as more than one if they want to win, just like what we did…” Joey felt a little awkward. “Black Star seemed relaxed when fighting the four of us too. God knows what his limit is.”
“… Do you guys think he expected this long ago, which is why he kept a low profile for decades?”
“Who knows?”
The few of them softly gossiped.
After defeating Oulou, the three Universal Civilizations seemed to be shocked and did not immediately send someone new in right after. Han Xiao sat on his throne and waited patiently.
“Looks like the three Universal Civilizations’ expectation of my strength was not high enough.”
Seeing the three Universal Civilizations fleet that was not making a move, Han Xiao curled his lips.
In the past few decades, he had kept a low profile and quietly accumulated his strength. Only the Holy Accord, Joey’s group, and Kasuyi had seen his strength; the outside world almost knew nothing about it.
The main reason was that there was not really a chance for him to fight publicly. The Beyond Grade A circle was quite small, and there were only a few he could fight.
More than a year ago when he beat up Joey and the others, Han Xiao had gained a rough estimate about his own strength. It would take at least a dozen high-level Beyond Grade As to cause any threat to him.
For now, not only were his growth talents growing steadily, but he had also even obtained (The Ancient Ones) and his first Unique Talent, and he had acquired some new technology from SWY-001. His strength had grown even higher, and the number of Beyond Grade As it would take to cause any threat to him increased once again.
Fighting Oulou was nothing but an appetizer to him. He had gone there with the mindset of starting a ‘slaughter’, showing the outside world the strength that fitted the identity of the leader of the Beyond Grade As while getting some talents. Stepping up on his personal behalf at such an important occasion, he was certain there would be opportunities for him to fight.
Seeing that the three Universal Civilizations were not making a move, Han Xiao opened the interface. The Challenge Mission triggered by Oulou was already shown as completed. Since he could not leave at this point and could not acquire some luck, Han Xiao chose to conclude it on the spot.
(Beyond Grade A Challenge Mission-‘Golden Ring’ Oulou) completed!
You have completed all the mission requirements. You have received 86 Billion EXP!
You have received (Character Summon Card – ‘Golden Ring’ Oulou)!
Character Summon Card – ‘Golden Ring’ Oulou: (Golden Treasure Ship-Ram]— Condense the energy of the Golden Treasure Ship dimension in your body and carry out a long-distance charging attack. You’re immune to any Crowd Control abilities during the charge. Deals a high amount of melee combat damage. Usages: 0/3
“Aiyo, a distance closing ability, nice.”
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled.
Sadly, Oulou did not use this ability earlier, or he would have had the chance to do some stretching
“If there’s a chance in the future, I shall try to see if I can get some taunt-type ability. I feel like this is what my combat style needs…”
If he could just yell, “Come here, ya coward!” and the enemy actively went to him, it would be amazing
Shaking his head, he put these thoughts behind and looked at the rest of the notification.
You have received a reward: Draw one of Oulou’s Abilities/Talents.
Note: Oulou is an Esper, so part of the abilities/talents are adjusted according to your class.
Randomizing… complete!
Please select one from the five options below as the reward.
1. (Energy Control Precision] – Talent: Tremendously increase your ability to control energy, +10% Energy Resistance. 2. (Secondary Dimension Affinity) – Talent: Increases the chance of you building a connection with some secondary dimensions, grants you comprehensive bonuses when using the power of a secondary dimension.
2. (Liveliness Increase] – Ability: By stimulating your cells, temporarily increase the activity of your cells. +10% – 20% Health, Energy, and Stamina; +50% – 100% basic recovery speed of Health, Energy, Stamina. Duration: 15 minutes.
3. [Exquisite Taste] – Talent: +15%. You gain the Favorability of some people more easily.
4. (Phase Blink] – Ability: Using the secondary dimension, move by phasing and temporarily dodge most attacks. Cooldown: 6 minutes.
Han Xiao tutted. “My luck is ordinary as always without touching Feidin.”
After all, due to the difference in class, most of the core abilities of Espers were unobtainable. A surprise like with Gaud would not happen every time.
Looking through, Han Xiao made a decision very quickly.
You have received the talent (Secondary Dimension Affinity]!
He had a link with the Void Dimension and the Underworld, and his Racial Talent was also related to the Void Dimension, so choosing this talent would indirectly enhance his Racial Talent. As for the other options, they were either too ordinary, or he already had something similar.
Comparatively, the ability of this Character Summon Card was quite good. After all, it gave immunity to Crowd Control abilities, which might be amazing in some scenarios.
After concluding the reward, seeing that the three Universal Civilizations still did not make any move, Han Xiao started looking at the forums.
More than half a day passed like this. When only eight and a half days were left till the end of the three Universal Civilizations’ ultimatum deadline, they finally struck the second time.
A total of thirteen direct Beyond Grade As stepped up and walked out. Only then did Han Xiao close the forums and size them up. He saw that Clotti and Oulou among them, clearly the leaders.
This was a horrifying enough team. In a direct head-on battle, other than God’s Chosen who no one knew what his limits were, no one else in the universe could match up to it. Plus, there were no actors among these people; they had the same goal and would not hold back at all.
“Yo, no more duels?” Han Xiao said with a mocking tone.
Oulou looked ashamed. He had already adjusted back to normal after the humiliating loss, and he could not have been more embarrassed.
This time, Clotti slowly said, “Black Star, you are indeed strong. However, since you stepped up to take challenges, you won’t mind us fighting you in a group, will you?”
“Whatever. No matter how many Beyond Grade As you send, as long as you can defeat me.” Han Xiao did not mind.
Clotti nodded. He suddenly changed the topic and said, “His Excellency told me to ask you a question… Gaud, you killed him, didn’t you?”
As he said that, the other direct members were surprised. Even the many onlookers were stunned.
The Gaud incident was huge back then, and many people still had an impression of it. Now that it was brought up, many people were reminded of it once more.
“Oh? I’m warning you. We might be enemies, but I won’t just let you frame me like this,” Han Xiao said with a poker face.
Clotti added with a deep voice, “Originally, we didn’t suspect you because you were the dynasty’s ally. However, there were way too many suspicious parts about that incident back then. In recent years, you’ve become more and more lawless, so our suspicion of you has grown as well. You had plenty of reasons to attack Gaud… Sorokin might not be the culprit, just someone you framed!”
Han Xiao waved, interrupted him, and said casually, “What you say means nothing without evidence. I’ve never even thought of killing Gaud.” “You think you can clear your suspicion?” “Hehe, I’m not guilty.” Han Xiao did not mind it.
Of course, I never thought of killing Gaud. I only sealed him up. He’s still alive, so this isn’t a lie.
Plus, other than him, probably no one else knew about the fact that Gaud was EsGod. He never regretted capturing that guy; it was only a pity no one knew his contribution.
While speaking, Han Xiao stood up from his throne. The gates of the secondary dimensional army boxes opened behind him.
Even Han Xiao did not dare act overconfident facing this situation. None of these thirteen direct members were ordinary. The three Universal Civilizations had probably given each of them Universal Treasures, so they might have some trump cards. Plus, when fighting together, their strength would not just add up but multiply. However, taking the opponents seriously was one thing, but he was not going to say it out loud.
“Thirteen Beyond Grade As… it’s at least enough for me to warm up a little.”
As he said that, the swarm of mechanical army appeared once again. This time, they gathered around Han Xiao and quickly assembled into a Mechanical Deity.
Seeing this, Clotti and the others spread out and formed an encirclement. Their energy presence became unrestrained and clashed with Han Xiao’s energy presence. The energy readings in the area rocketed, and the spacetime stability started to fluctuate.
In this extremely tense moment, another Mechanical Deity suddenly appeared in the Mechanical Race’s fleet. It was Manison, and he instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The next moment, Manison suddenly threw out the Emperor Mechanic’s Sacred Trident at Han Xiao, the rest of the Universal Treasures on the body of his Mechanical Deity also detached and flew toward Han Xiao.
Han Xiao caught the Emperor Mechanic’s Sacred Trident that was covered in electronic sparks. The various Mechanical Deity exclusive weapons of Manison also attached to his Mechanical Deity’s body, assembling perfectly. The controls of these equipment were transferred to Han Xiao, and his Mechanical Deity looked more magnificent right away.
He turned around and looked at Manison. He then heard Manison speaking in their channel.
“Since they’re fighting you as more than one, I’ll lend you my weapons.”
“… I don’t need it, but thanks.”
Han Xiao weighed the Emperor Mechanic’s Sacred Trident and felt complicated.
Old Manison had always taken the secrecy of his technology extremely importantly and treated these Universal Treasures almost like his wives.
I could only secretly steal them, but now he’s willing to lend them to me… Damn, I’m touched.
Han Xiao turned and looked at Clotti and the others. Psionic energy spun around the blade of the trident, leaving ripple-like afterimages as Han Xiao swung it.
“Old Manison, since you’re so generous this time, let me show you something new.”
As he said that, blood-colored energy erupted and entangled around the Mechanical Deity’s body. Its appearance changed subtly. It was as if these streams of blood energy were forming flesh on the Mechanical Deity’s body!
A strange energy ripple spread, giving the Beyond Grade As even greater pressure.
Clotti, the others, and Manison all looked with surprise at Han Xiao, whose appearance was changing rapidly.
“This guy’s Mechanical Deity… why does it look different from the others’?”
