Chapter 1769: Beacon Star Palace
The group's beating of Carl never stopped from the very beginning!
Although they couldn't take down Carl, they at least got a game of mahjong going!
As expected, Bai Kou lived up to expectations and smoothly broke through to Transcendent!
After all, she had been stuck at the ceiling for who knows how long. With the help of the Ten-Color Creation Particles, ascending to Transcendent was only natural.
And she also comprehended her own domain, Extreme Cold Snow Country!
It's similar in nature to Carl's domain, but not as powerful as its Absolute Zero: Cease!
After all, she had only just mastered it.
But it could still ignore Carl's domain's effects, because both belong to extreme cold, and Carl couldn't easily replicate Bai Kou's ability.
However, no matter how powerful Xiao Chuihuo was, he still couldn't merge Bai Kou's domain in at present, given the attributes were what they were.
Thus, the scene in the field became one of an ultimate three-carries-one, chasing after Carl!
And Jiang Ning and Jiang Jing had been following all along, constantly pointing out Carl's position to Xiao Chuihuo and the others.
It wasn't that Carl didn't want to ascend dimensions and escape, but his glory as the Star God didn't allow him to do so!
Am I not supposed to save face?
Since he came to Lan Xing, this was a situation he had to face!
If he couldn't break this fused iron triangle of three domains, he couldn't snatch the Spirit Medium head-on!
It would be the same fighting later. During this time, Carl maintained his Cease Domain, trying to find an opportunity.
But he found no opportunity, and his Bose Particles were already severely overdrawn.
He even absorbed and used up those from Gangstantin's body!
How could he not be angry when he saw Igor again?
Igor was also confused:
"I... I don't know either? Originally there was one? How are there..."
Four?
Holy crap! Is this a joke? Did we poke a nest of Transcendents?
One Odin breaking through by chance could be explained by coincidence, but a whole nest popping up?
Evolving so fast? Absolutely impossible!
Carl charged over and slapped Igor twice, smack smack!
He beat Igor so badly he swayed left and right. With a swing of his Holy Judgment Sword, he immediately cut off one of the horns on his head!
(｀益´ꐦ) "You don't know? The project you're in charge of and you don't know? Damn! I've never suffered such humiliation in my life!"
"Where's Rhine? Call him over! Pass me particles!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Igor and flew wildly. Igor became transparent at a visible rate, Bose Particles flowing madly into Carl's body.
Igor covered his broken horn, his eyes full of sorrow:
୧(*꒦ິ益꒦ີ)୨ "My horn horn... Lord Carl, let me explain, I..."
Gangstantin said irritably:
(￢益￢ꐦ) "You fart? You start whining over breaking one horn? I broke two, what did I say? Bad luck!"
Igor turned to look at Gangstantin, good heavens, only then did he discover that the guy's two horns had been cut off completely!
Who did that?
Rhine's horn was also missing one, all so neat?
But he still obediently called Rhine to come support. Rhine, who was entangled with Ba Di, could only come over to support when he heard the news.
Ba Di thus managed to escape disaster.
Then from the Glorious Sun behind them, Odin's sarcastic voice came through:
(≖ᴗ≖๑) "Yo~ Isn't this little one? How long has it been since we last met? So this is the Lord Carl you've been boasting about?"
"Yo yo yo~ Still telling me to wash my neck and wait, that you'd kill me? Now let's ask who's killing whom?"
"Your face is getting slapped pretty hard, right? You little trash, no strength at all? What are you bragging about?"
Igor's expression was extremely ugly. This situation was truly unexpected, beyond prediction.
Four is already four, but they all have domains and can fuse? Who can stand that?
It directly raised the human top combat power by an entire level, far exceeding previous assessments.
Carl's face turned black:
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) "What kind of skill is ganging up? If you have the guts, one-on-one, a real duel! Watch me annihilate you! Turn you into starry sky dust, I'll..."
Odin curled his lip:
(乛৺乛) "Isn't this a duel? You dueling the four of us! My family just has this condition! What about it?"
At this moment, the few in the Glorious Sun all twitched their mouths looking at Odin. Good heavens! Odin was this good at cursing?
Odin scratched his head with a shy face.
୧(ૢ⁼̴〰⁼̴) "M-making a fool of myself, I learned from my good big brother, just the surface, the surface!"
In this situation, if you can't do anything to the other side, of course you use insults. Spiritual attacks are also attacks, right?
Xiao Chuihuo put his hand to his forehead. That kid Jiangnan didn't teach any good things at all?
In no time, even Igor was drained dry.
Weak-faced: (›´ω`‹) "Lord Carl, this won't do. Why don't we ascend dimensions first, then..."
Carl glared: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "Bullshit! Do I not have face? I am the dignified Star God, annihilator of civilizations, beaten by a few humans to the point of needing to ascend dimensions to hide?"
"If this gets out, where will I put my old face?"
Igor mumbled quietly:
(•̆₃•̆) "As if you have much face now..."
Carl: !!!
(▼ヘ▼ꐦ) "What did you say?"
Igor shivered:
(´-﹏-`；) "N-nothing. It's just that this can't go on. Why don't you release the Beacon Star Palace?"
Carl frowned: "No! The Star Palace is an operations base built by the Silicon-Based Mechanical Race for our Saint Star's external missions. The built-in AI will establish a link with the Terminal!"
"All data is shared in real time. Once released, Lan Xing's coordinates will be exposed. Our development of Lan Xing behind the Ten Thousand Races Accord will..."
"Hmm? You've set up the Black Barrier? That fast?"
Igor grinned: "Set it up? I used the backup left by the Ancient Saint Star!"
Carl snorted coldly: "You handled this matter quite efficiently. In that case, hmph!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the two and charged wildly, quickly leaving the E Guo border and arriving at the polar ice field.
Xiao Chuihuo and the others naturally gave chase without letting up.
From inside Carl's body, a metal capsule emerged, and he threw it hard to the ground.
"Boom!"
Intense spatial fluctuations spread. Xiao Chuihuo and Odin's eyes widened in shock.
As the capsule shattered, an alien building expanded wildly!
In an instant, it turned into a behemoth tens of thousands of meters tall, emitting a cold metallic texture, overall the color of lapis lazuli.
Two triangular star rings rotated, forming a hexagram shape, and at the center of the hexagram was a metal spherical building wrapped within.
It was highly visually striking. The moment the Star Palace was released, it floated anti-gravitationally in the air.
A brilliant blue light bloomed on the hexagram star rings, abruptly forming a light blue transparent protective barrier.
A mechanical female voice devoid of emotion came out, speaking the Thousand Stars Language:
"Premium Beacon Star Palace activated! Defense barrier established. Star Palace operation normal. Energy sufficient."
"Warning! Terminal connection failed, reconnection failed... Please confirm if the upload channel is clear."
Carl and the others didn't hesitate to charge into the Star Palace's defense barrier.
Xiao Chuihuo glared: "I don't care what kind of thing it is! I'll melt it!"
The Glorious Sun, with a diameter of a hundred thousand meters, was much larger than the Beacon Star Palace.
It forcefully rammed into it.
With a "boom", the Glorious Sun slammed heavily into the defense barrier of the Beacon Star Palace.
Under the scorching high temperature, the polar ice cap even began to melt over a large area.
But it still couldn't penetrate the defense barrier in the slightest.
Carl, who had caught his breath, sneered and watched this scene with interest.
The cold mechanical female voice sounded again:
"Detected strong attack, activating energy conversion storage. Beginning to establish beacon point!"
"Boom!"
Below the Beacon Star Palace, a dazzling thick blue energy beam shot out, blasting heavily into the polar ice cap, deep into the continental shelf plate.
It pushed the Beacon Star Palace upward into the sky, all the way above the clouds.
At this moment, the Beacon Star Palace was like a beacon spike nailed into Lan Xing, extremely conspicuous.
No matter how much Xiao Chuihuo increased his firepower to the limit, he still couldn't melt through the Star Palace's defense barrier.
Carl sneered:
(✡¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Give up! It's useless. This premium edition Beacon Star Palace was custom-made at great expense from the Mechanical Race!"
"It's not something at your level can break through, unless you have strength comparable to a Planet Destroyer!"
Xiao Chuihuo gritted his steel teeth: "What kind of piece of junk is this again?"
Jiang Ning's eyes showed difficulty: "This is a Beacon Star Palace, a combat base custom-made by the Silicon-Based Mechanical Race for Saint Star's external missions! It's a type of war fortress!"
"Under normal circumstances, when Saint Star develops a Star Ruins, the first thing is to plant a Beacon Star Palace on the planet as a base."
"It's a kind of marker, like saying this planet is being developed by Saint Star."
"I just didn't expect that the people who came this time would dare to blatantly plant a Beacon Star Palace. Is Carl crazy?"
Obviously, Xiao Chuihuo and Jiang Ning had no idea about the Black Barrier.
Bai Kou's scalp tingled: "Silicon-Based Mechanical Race? Alien technology? This is a technological level crush?"
"This thing can't be broken by anything below Planet Destroyer level?"
"War fortress? Odin and the others had never even seen one! Their worldview was refreshed."
Just then, the mechanical female voice came from the Beacon Star Palace again:
"Beacon point established! Overcharging, will activate plasma cannon to release energy. Target locked!"
The armor on one side of the metal sphere at the center of the Beacon Star Palace opened, and a plasma cannon barrel shaped like a sharp spear extended from it.
It aimed directly at the Glorious Sun.
The next instant, the world was dyed blue. A plasma cannon jet stream nearly ten thousand meters in diameter rammed into the Glorious Sun with a fierce posture.
"Boom!"
Infinite plasma flew in all directions, exploding everywhere. Wherever the energy splashed, everything was annihilated.
Although it couldn't cause any damage to Xiao Chuihuo and the others, the powerful impact force still pushed the Glorious Sun backward.
A giant cannon bombarding the Glorious Sun—this scene was simply explosive!
