Chapter 1770: Making a Name for Himself? (Bonus Chapter)
Xiao Chuihuo frowned deeply. This plasma cannon was indeed powerful enough to actually blast back the fused World-Shining Sun of the three domains!
Had all the energy he attacked been absorbed and transformed, becoming the Beacon Star Palace's own energy?
Karl smugly sheathed his Holy Judgment Sword back into its scabbard, his eyes full of provocation as he looked at Xiao Chuihuo!
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Getting hit back with your own energy feels pretty good, huh? Why don't you keep fighting? If you've got the balls, come on in and keep going!"
Xiao Chuihuo glared: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "If you've got the balls, come out! I swear I'll beat the shit out of you, then stuff you back into that shit, then beat you with your own shit!"
Odin's eyes lit up!
(O⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) Ooh?
Old Man Xiao's skill with words isn't bad either?
I should learn well!
Karl sneered: "Sorry! The Bose Clan doesn't have shit! Do you think we lowly carbon-based lifeforms have metabolism like you? Heh~ how primitive!"
Odin: (•́.̫•̀) "Ooh la la~ you're so sophisticated! Still, aren't you like a turtle hiding in your shell, too scared to come out? Knock mud frog!"
Karl tilted his head in confusion:
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ "What does 'knock mud frog' mean?"
Igor's mouth twitched: (￢﹏￢) "Uh... just know he's insulting you, sir!"
Lord Karl was suffering from a lack of culture!
Karl squinted: "Just wait for me! I don't believe you guys can stick together forever!"
"Don't let me catch an opportunity, or I'll kill you one by one!"
"That spirit medium will be mine, you can't protect her!"
Xiao Chuihuo sneered: "Then you'd better stay inside this turtle shell forever too! If any of you comes out, I'll refine every single one of you to death!"
"Don't doubt whether I have the ability to do that!"
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Constantine!
Constantine shuddered under the stare, his expression extremely grim!
Igor was shocked. Constantine's horn was cut off by Xiao Chuihuo? How is that possible?
Does he have a Cosmic Source Crystal Blade?
Just then, a spatial fluctuation came, and Rhine suddenly appeared!
(•́～•̀٥) "Lord Karl? What's going on? Why did you call me back? You..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Chuihuo and the other three all had red eyes!
(〃͡’～͡’)͡ᵔ益͡ᵔ)¯ิ皿¯ิ)͡’‸͡’)
They raised their blazing red flame blades: "Fuck it all! Get her! Kill that bitch!"
The World-Shining Sun slammed violently toward her!
Rhine: !!!
Holy crap!
Karl was furious, and had no choice but to activate his domain and rush out of the Beacon Star Palace's defensive barrier!
After a short while, he dragged Rhine back into the Beacon Star Palace!
Rhine held her head, tears welling in her eyes!
୧(☍﹏⁰。)୨ "Lord Karl! My horn! I only had one left, and it got cut off again! Those humans are so arrogant, you have to avenge me, show them some real color!"
As soon as she finished, even Constantine, who had lost his horn, and Igor, with only one horn left, looked at her with strange expressions...
(￢Ĺ̯￢)(-ι_-)
(°ー°〃) "Uh... why are you guys..."
"Shut up!" ×2
Jiang Ning now had five horns in his hand, some his own, some picked up off the ground...
Xiangzhi, standing nearby, watched the few Bose with broken horns, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked timid.
(′◔﹏◔`)
Those... those broken horns and stuff shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?
But the organization's base was so impressive, she loved it! She had joined many organizations before, and this Beacon Star Palace headquarters was the most stylish!
The situation fell into a stalemate!
Xiao Chuihuo and the others dared not leave easily, afraid that Karl and his group would cause trouble outside!
Karl and his group were also trapped inside the Star Palace, unable to go out!
Karl snorted coldly: "Then let's just waste time. Let's see who can outlast who. I've got all the time in the world!"
With that, he headed straight into the depths of the Star Palace!
Igor sneered: "Every second, tens of thousands of humans die. In the time it takes you to take a single breath, maybe hundreds of thousands or millions fall into the mouths of beasts!"
"Enjoy the feeling of your own race's lives slipping away! If the human population on Blue Planet doesn't drop by half after the Purification, I'll take your surname!"
"The civilization belonging to humanity is dying! And next will be our Holy Star's stage!"
With that, he led his people into the Star Palace!
Inside the World-Shining Sun, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy!
Mi Ye clenched her teeth. Although she didn't want to admit it, Igor was telling the truth!
The World Purification Plan was indeed the greatest blow to humanity. In three thousand years, there had never been a spirit calamity of such scale!
The original social order was completely shattered, and everything they had painstakingly built was gone!
Human civilization had been pushed into the abyss!
And after this, whether it was total destruction or rebirth from the ashes, no one knew yet!
Humanity now faced an incredibly difficult situation, right at the crux of life and death!
Odin hesitated: "Old Man Xiao, should we keep blocking them, or..."
Xiao Chuihuo took a deep breath: "Keep blocking them. Letting Karl and his group out would cause far more harm than whatever help we could provide by going back."
"At least until the first wave of impact is over, we need to limit the Holy Star's actions. We'll decide after everyone withstands this wave."
"Little girl Bai Kou, you go back to Eagle Country and handle your affairs. The three of us can hold them down here."
Bai Kou was delighted when Xiao Chuihuo called her "little girl." Old Man Xiao really knew how to talk!
She sweetly answered "Okay~" and hurried off toward Eagle Country!
Eagle Country was in a tough spot now—vast but sparsely populated—and needed Bai Kou to hold the fort!
...
Inside Beacon Star Palace, the main hall was lavishly decorated, full of technological flair!
On the holographic projection in front of the hall, various data such as the Star Palace's energy reserves were displayed, constantly projecting the situation outside!
Karl plopped down in the main seat, his overdrawn Bose particles slowly recovering, looking thoroughly annoyed!
Igor and the others also took their seats, leaving the vast main hall feeling somewhat empty!
Xiangzhi, full of curiosity, sat down on a chair, but Karl shot her a cold glare, startling her into jumping up and running behind Igor to stand obediently!
Karl slammed the table:
(ꐦ۶‵□′)۶┳━┳ "Damn it! A screw-up in intelligence, Igor, you can't escape blame! Four Star-Breaker level humans?"
"How many years has it been? And there are four? What the hell is going on?"
"Even if there are four, they all have domains? And they can fuse?"
Igor shrank his neck: (´-﹏-`；) "Pre... previously there was really only one. I don't know how four appeared!"
Just then, a wall in the corner of the Star Palace hall opened!
A mechanical butler activated, two blue lights lighting up on its head. Its body was composed of an alloy skeleton and cold bundles of metal artificial muscle fibers!
It moved nimbly out of its hibernation pod, looked at Karl, and a mechanical female voice sounded!
(⊚ㅅ⊚) "Terminal connection failed, attempting to re-establish... please check..."
Karl cut it off impatiently: "Go, go, go! Don't connect, don't bother me! Clean the Star Palace for me. It's been a long time since it's been used."
The mechanical butler nodded, "Oh," and walked back into its hibernation pod...
Xiangzhi's eyes sparkled, looking like she had never seen the world!
(ง⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴)ง A robot?
Holy cow!
But Karl and the others looked as if it was nothing special!
Igor said: "Then... what should we do? If we can't get rid of four Star-Breaker humans, then it won't be easy to get the spirit medium!"
"Should we call for reinforcements from above..."
Karl glared: (ಠ益ಠꐦ) "Reinforcements? Like hell! Send a Planet Destroyer-level Bose body over? Are you dreaming or what?"
"Just bringing me here already cost the Holy Star a great deal of effort!"
"Every Planet Destroyer-level existence is under the spotlight, famous far and wide, with countless eyes watching!"
"Their identity can't be hidden for such a mission. If we send that level, do you want to get discovered? Do you think our actions haven't been big enough?"
Igor shrank his neck, knowing it was true!
Karl was already the strongest existence the Holy Star could sneak in. Going any higher would expose everything!
Seeing the silence, Karl said gloomily: "If things aren't done right, I won't be able to go back before Blue Planet's chaos is fully developed."
"After all, I'm now a person who doesn't exist!"
"But I still don't have enough useful hands. Sneaking around to develop a chaos like this is really frustrating!"
"However, the higher-ups are already working on identities for the Ten Executors. They'll come to help later, along with some exiles. Then we won't be short on manpower."
Igor's eyes lit up with excitement. Finally, the big moves were coming?
After working so hard here for years, it was finally time to reap the rewards!
Karl took a deep breath: "We still have absolute advantage. If a frontal fight is disadvantageous, we'll go for the dark!"
"Can't get a spirit medium? I've got plenty of ways. We can take our time playing with them."
"After all, I love the feeling of watching a civilization slowly die by my hands!"
Igor quickly flattered: (ʃƪ͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Lord Karl is mighty!"
Karl glanced at Igor disdainfully!
(￢～￢ꐦ) "Let's leave the spirit medium aside for now. Where is the Creation Sacred Beast now? What's its status? Can it form a contract with the spirit medium at any time?"
Igor's expression stiffened:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ㅂ꒪‧̣̥̇) "I... I don't know where it is, but it's definitely somewhere around Blue Planet!"
Karl's face darkened immediately: "Are you screwing with me?"
"What the hell do you mean you don't know where it is? Didn't you control it with the Void Nails?"
"Where did it go?"
Igor broke out in a cold sweat: "At first, we tethered it with Void Nails on Layer Ten of the Abyss. But the humans broke the Void Nails and stole them!"
"It was that Odin who took them. Without the Void Nails controlling it, the Creation Sacred Beast went out of control!"
"Now... now it's no longer on Layer Ten of the Abyss!"
Karl exploded on the spot. He drew his Holy Judgment Sword and, with a *crack*, chopped off Igor's last remaining horn!
"What the hell else can you do? The Void Nails broke? A thing as hard as Cosmic Source Crystal, humans could break it?"
"Not only that, but you let a thing like Cosmic Source Crystal that restrains our Bose Clan fall into human hands?"
"Do you not want to be the project manager anymore?"
Xiangzhi: (๑ŏ﹏ŏ๑)
All horns gone bald? This... this has nothing to do with me, right?
This really is "making a name (and losing horns)"!
