# Chapter 1796: Struck It Rich
Just as the Star Palace initiated its self-destruct countdown, Jiangnan and the others had already teleported into an extremely spacious equipment warehouse!
The three were directly stunned by the scene before them!
Jiangnan's antenna on his head stood completely straight, his eyes bulging wide!
Σ(っ°口°;)っ "This really is a huge score, damn!"
Inside the spacious equipment warehouse, over a dozen ship-like objects were parked!
Not very large, about 30 meters long, entirely black with a unique shape!
Their appearance was blade-like, with tail nozzles!
Jiangnan recognized them at a glance — these were definitely fighter jets.
Their technology far surpassed Blue Star's by countless times!
And in the center of the hangar floated a silver shuttle over 300 meters long, with a streamlined design and mirror-like surface paint!
It was as beautiful as a slender flying shuttle!
Qian Benying swallowed hard: "Am I watching a sci-fi blockbuster? There really are flying saucers here?!"
In the corner of the hangar, a disc-shaped aircraft was indeed parked!
In addition, there were all kinds of dazzling vehicles, including flying armed motorcycles!
On the weapon racks hung handheld plasma cannons and lightsabers!
There were even full-body mechanical battle suits resembling Iron Man armor, arranged in cabinets!
This was practically heaven for Jiangnan!
٩(º﹃º٩) "You two keep watch, I'll start looting!"
As he spoke, his Alternate Dimension opened wide, and he immediately stuffed that 300-meter silver shuttle inside!
Blade-shaped fighters, mechanical armor — everything was packed away!
He looted so fast he became a blur!
But just as Jiangnan was enjoying his looting spree, a piercing sonic boom came from outside!
Bai Kou frowned and raised her hand. A thick blue ice wall over ten meters thick appeared on the alloy gate of the equipment warehouse.
But the next moment!
With a "Boom!"
The heavy alloy gate, along with the blue ice wall, was instantly blasted apart!
The deformed hangar door spun through the air and heavily embedded itself into the warehouse wall!
A humanoid mechanical prosthetic charged in!
Three meters tall, entirely black, with a very imposing mechanical structure and multiple thrusters all over its body!
Two sharp metal horns on its head, a black segmented heavy rod in its hand, and its mechanical eyes were extremely blood-red!
"Martial God Mechanical Prosthetic, now executing elimination of intruders!"
The moment it burst in, its Spirit-Binding Field covered the entire area!
Bai Kou frowned and expanded her Polar Snow Kingdom Domain again!
But the power furnace inside the Martial God Body's chest frantically transmitted energy!
Amazing heat emanated from within, allowing it to move within the Snow Kingdom!
Ice spikes shot toward the Martial God Machine at an astonishing speed!
However, the moment it charged into the hangar, it raised its palm toward one side of its body!
The palm cannon fiercely fired, spewing blazing flames, pushing its body sideways to dodge the ice spike assault!
Multiple thrusters on its body released raging flames, adjusting its movement posture!
It actually made a wide loop, bypassed Bai Kou, and charged straight at Qian Benying!
Qian Benying looked eager to try and was about to unleash a spatial shredding attack!
But then an extremely intense mental impact suddenly erupted — it was the Mind God Pearl weapon it carried!
Qian Benying was instantly stunned, and both Jiangnan and Bai Kou also suffered splitting headaches!
Taking advantage of this, the Martial God Machine opened its black heavy rod, which crackled with incomparably fierce lightning, and smashed down toward Qian Benying's head!
If that hit, her head would explode!
But by then, Jiangnan had recovered and instantly opened a Space Wormhole. The lightning heavy rod fell into the wormhole and emerged from the side of the Martial God Machine!
It headed straight for its own head!
With a "Clang," the Martial God Machine was knocked flying like a cannonball by its own attack!
It didn't hit the main body; instead, it was blocked by an orange-yellow energy shield!
Jiangnan rubbed his head:
(ﾉ)´-益-`) "Don't capsize in the gutter. This Martial God Machine's combat power is no less than an average top-tier Dao Heaven!"
"Capture it intact. We'll modify it for our own use later!"
As he spoke, he continued looting. Within the Polar Snow Kingdom, Jiangnan was also unaffected by the Spirit Binding because it was Bai Kou's domain!
As for Bai Kou and Qian Benying, he wasn't worried!
One was a Transcendent, the other a Starlight-level spatial system user. If they couldn't handle a single Martial God Machine, they might as well give up!
"Oh hoho~ So many Mind God Pearls?"
On a storage shelf, egg-sized Mind God Pearls sat quietly, looking extremely high-grade!
They were nothing like the ones used by those mechanical soldiers!
Jiangnan took them all. Nearby were boxes of seven-colored snail shells, though he had no idea what they were for. He just packed them up!
While enjoying his looting, Jiangnan was attracted by several silver bracelets hanging on the wall!
Perplexed: (•︠ˍ•︡) "What's this? Bracelets can be weapons too?"
Looking down, he saw written on the wall in Thousand Stars script: "Source Essence Armor Storage!"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
(*⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈) Whoa?
Wasn't this the armor that Laiyin and her people wore? The one that could freely transform and change shape?
He heard it was expensive!
There were 21 silver bracelets on the wall, and Jiangnan packed them all!
In no time, there was nothing left to steal in the equipment warehouse. This haul was a massive win!
He turned back to see that the Martial God Machine hadn't been dealt with yet. Seeing that the Mind God Pearls were effective, it kept releasing them in small bursts!
It wouldn't let Bai Kou or Qian Benying get close!
Qian Benying had been hit by several mental impacts and felt like her head was about to break!
But Bai Kou was thoroughly enraged. She transformed into wind-snow form and directly lunged at the Martial God Machine!
"Eternal Embrace!"
Endless extreme cold invaded, nearly extinguishing its power furnace!
Yet it still refused to give up. It concentrated all its energy into the center of its two metal horns, forming a compressed, pitch-black energy sphere that instantly burst forth!
"Boom!"
An extremely intense energy cannon, a hundred meters wide, directly blasted through the equipment warehouse, blowing a huge hole in the Star Palace fortress and extending who knows how far out!
It blew off the head of Bai Kou's wind-snow form, but couldn't kill her!
After releasing this attack, its power furnace went out, and it completely shut down!
Frozen into a block of ice!
This dazzling cannon shot also caught the attention of Karl outside, who was in the middle of fighting!
Karl and Laiyin both turned in confusion, looking back at the Beacon Star Palace!
They clearly saw an energy cannon shoot out from the right side, blasting a huge hole in the Star Palace!
Karl: ???
I slashed at the left side. Why is the right side exploding?
Looking closely, the entire Star Palace's lights were flashing in a regular pattern!
Laiyin frowned: (✡･᷄～･᷅) "Lord Karl? Why are the lights on the Star Palace flashing? Doesn't it look like it's about to self-destruct?"
Karl's eyes widened: "Like hell? That is!"
I only slashed it once. Why would it self-destruct? What kind of junk is this?
Laiyin was startled: (✡･᷄﹏･᷅) "The external voice assistant just now seemed to mention something about an intruder, but it broke before finishing. Could it be..."
Karl's eyes were about to burst. Without a word, he abandoned Xiao Chuihuo and the others and charged straight back into the Star Palace!
The shield was intact. How could there be an intruder?
He hadn't sensed any abnormal fluctuations. How could...
Could a man with eyes all over his body still be pecked by a goose?
Seeing Karl charge back, Xiao Chuihuo and the others were also confused!
Why did he stop fighting and go back?
But just as Karl burst into the equipment warehouse, he saw three Teletubbies carrying the Martial God Machine and stuffing it into a sack!
The entire equipment warehouse was cleaner than his own face!
Jiangnan and the others naturally noticed the charging Karl!
The invisibility cloak's effect was useless on Karl!
Their eyes met in mid-air, and the scene became extremely awkward!
=͟͟͞͞(✡꒪益꒪)━☆━(•́ω•̀٥)
Without a second word, Jiangnan pulled the other two and turned to run!
Karl glared: "Three little rats! Where do you think you're going!"
Infinite Bose light burst forth!
Although the three successfully rushed out of the Star Palace shield, the fur balls on their antennae were also blasted off by the Bose light!
They immediately lost their invisibility!
At the same time, the Beacon Star Palace's flashing frequency grew faster and faster!
Karl was furious. He charged straight into the main control room!
There, he saw Xiangzhi, beaten to a pulp, frantically fiddling with the holographic projection!
As she worked, she scratched her head!
୧(#)･᷄～･᷅(#) "H-how do I cancel this? I..."
Karl, nearly splitting with rage, grabbed Xiangzhi by the neck, murder in his eyes!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "You did this? You triggered the Star Palace's self-destruct?"
Xiangzhi struggled desperately:
(〃)꒪ͦ༥꒪ͦ(〃) "N-no, not me! I'm trying to stop it! It's all Jiangnan and his people!"
"I fought with all my might, ready to die, but I was no match for them!"
"But even beaten like this, I didn't reveal any information! I am utterly loyal to Sacred Star! My devotion is clear as the sun and moon!"
Karl looked at Xiangzhi, who was barely human, and threw her aside in disgust:
(￢益￢ꐦ) "Useless. You wouldn't know how to operate the Star Palace program anyway!"
Seeing the Star Palace about to explode, he hurriedly stepped in, using his authority to cancel the self-destruct program, then breathed a sigh of relief!
But when he checked the Star Palace's status, Karl's face turned green!
All sentinel mechanical legions had been stolen. The Martial God Mechanical Prosthetic was also taken!
Plus the completely empty equipment warehouse!
Damn it! All the assets in my Star Palace were cleaned out!
Using Xiao Chuihuo and the others to feint east, then stealing the Black Barrier to attack west, making me think the humans' main target was the Black Barrier!
Then attacking east again?
[From Karl's Resentment Value +1003!]
"You really know how to play!"
Karl, having canceled the self-destruct, roared and charged out!
Meanwhile, the time for Jiangnan's low-key sugar orange effect had expired!
The side effects kicked in. The originally red, green, and purple Teletubbies suits on the three turned entirely yellow, covered in black coin-like spots!
Each carried a bulging sack!
Jiangnan spoke up:
(Oﾟٹﾟ)ﾂ "Yo~ Old immortal, little brother, spider girl? Still fighting?"
Just one sentence, and the veins on Xiao Chuihuo and the other two's foreheads bulged!
(ꐦ｀益´)(ꐦ▼益▼)(ꐦ͡’～͡’)
Only Jiangnan could deliver such a critical hit with his opening line!
But the three were also confused!
Weren't you supposed to be stealing the Black Barrier? Why did you come charging out of the Star Palace?
And wearing Teletubbies suits is one thing, but with a leopard skin pattern and carrying sacks?!
G-golden money leopard Teletubbies?
