Chapter 1850: Transfer Completed
With a "crack", the protective shield was smashed open!
Alarms blared throughout the entire Beacon Star Palace as heavy armor plates rose, revealing plasma cannons and death star cannons.
All aimed at Jiangnan and Ai Jiang!
But before they could fire, Jiangnan had already teleported, smoothly making his way to the main control room of the star palace.
...
Inside the main control room, Xiangzhi was lying on the floor, holding a manga book and reading happily.
Her legs were crossed, swinging her little foot, with an open bag of chips and some happy-fatty soda nearby.
When she reached for a chip, her eyes never left the manga.
٩(๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)っ▒
An auntie smile kept appearing on her face as she wriggled on the ground nonstop.
As long as she guarded the house and got paid for sitting around like a stool, what better company could there be?
Slacker Zhi is me!
Suddenly, the alarm echoing through the star palace startled Xiangzhi.
(•︠꒨•︡#) "Oh wow? 'Monthly Girl Nozaki-kun'? You have good taste. Don't they care that you're slacking off at work in Holy Star?"
Xiangzhi's expression froze, and she quickly hid the manga under her clothes at the speed of light!
Turning her head, she saw Jiangnan crouching beside her, casually grabbing her chips and eating them without any hesitation!
He grabbed a huge handful!
Xiangzhi: (‾◡◝)!!!
Those are my chips! I only had a few bites!
But that's not the main point, dang it!
Why is Jiangnan here again? He's supposed to be fighting Karl and the others outside, not constantly running to the star palace!
Don't always come stealing the base when I'm on guard duty!
[From Xiangzhi: Resentment Value +777!]
Xiangzhi did a carp jump to stand up, then slammed onto her knees in one fluid motion!
▄█▀█● "Please don't kill me! I've gotten familiar with this star palace, much more than last time! Ask whatever you want!"
"I, Xiangzhi, will tell you everything without reservation!"
"Keeping me around will definitely be useful! I... ah!"
Before she could finish, Jiangnan grabbed her by the nape like a chicken and lifted her up!
Opening a space wormhole, he gave her a big flying kick right on her rear!
(☍⌂⁰。)=З=З=З
With Xiangzhi's scream, she flew out of the star palace like a missile!
(︶～︶#)ﾉ "Shoo, shoo, go find another home to slack off in. Don't waste time in my house, it's bad luck!"
"Ai Jiang? Start changing the administrator permissions?"
Without waiting for Jiangnan's order, the Battle God Machine had already begun.
"Love～"
Her fingers deformed, extending an optical signal interface that directly connected to the star palace.
On the central holographic projection screen, pages jumped wildly as Ai Jiang modified the star palace's logic programs.
Jiangnan's programming skills for silicon-based intelligence were maxed out!
And he had granted this ability to Ai Jiang. She could write herself, so naturally she could write other programs.
Though she couldn't change the terminal database level, swapping administrator permissions was within her ability.
Ai Jiang giggled: ᥬ(˃᷄◡˂᷅๑)᭄ "Master, done!"
A cold mechanical female voice echoed through the main control hall.
"Detected that the Beacon Star Palace has changed owners. Now confirming new owner identity, completing the transfer verification."
The rotating platform under Jiangnan's feet rose, and lasers scanned him comprehensively.
"Transfer procedure complete. Welcome, esteemed Lord Jiangnan, to take residence in this star palace."
"Detected that you are a carbon-based life form, automatically generating carbon-based living area interior."
"Communication equipment damaged, unable to link to terminal database. Please send this unit to Qianxing City Shenji Star 4S Shop for after-sales maintenance as soon as possible."
Jiangnan rubbed his hands together, cackling with glee:
人(ᵔᗜᵔ*) "Isn't this just my house now? Ai Jiang, full defense, fly it straight back to Jing Du!"
By now, Ai Jiang had injected her programs into the Beacon Star Palace, becoming its butler.
Under the holographic projection, Ai Jiang's light form appeared.
ᥬ(•́ω•̀٥)᭄ "Love～ I don't know why, but this place feels so familiar to me?"
Jiangnan's mouth twitched. Of course it felt familiar—he had stolen her from here in the first place!
The next instant, a deafening rumble rang out!
The blue energy pillar that the Beacon Star Palace had inserted into the polar ice field retracted.
Thrusters extended from the star palace, which was nearly thirty thousand meters in diameter, spewing blazing flames!
It shot toward Jing Du at high speed!
Xiangzhi, kicked far away by Jiangnan, crashed headfirst into the ground, eating a mouthful of snow.
She clutched her rear as she got up, feeling like it had shattered into eight pieces!
Turning around, she saw the massive star palace drifting away, heading straight for Jing Du.
Her jaw hit the ground: =͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "It's over, it's over! Nan Shen really stole it!"
"Th-this... won't Holy Star fire me?"
She was supposed to guard the house, but the house itself was gone!
...
Meanwhile, Karl and Igor were on their way to the moon.
Their expressions suddenly froze as their Glazed Horns flickered.
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Damn it! An intruder in the star palace! Jiang! Nan!"
[From Karl: Resentment Value +1008!]
Karl immediately turned back, charging toward the Beacon Star Palace.
Wasn't he supposed to go to the moon? But instead, he went to my house?
Another feint to the east and attack to the west? Falling for the same trick twice, Karl felt completely fooled!
Last time, he had cleaned out his entire stash! Was he going to lose his house this time?
His premium edition Beacon Star Palace!
Igor frowned: (✡•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Then we're not going to the moon anymore?"
Karl cursed: "What moon? The house is gone! What if Jiangnan takes this chance to go cause trouble on the moon?"
"Feint east, attack west, then east again—that's what he did last time!"
"Have 09 retreat with the troops! We can't afford to lose any more personnel! A bunch of useless clay chickens and pottery dogs—none of them can stop Jiangnan! Trash!"
Igor's face darkened. And you're any different?
...
At the lunar joint base!
ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ "Aurora Supernova! Super super supernova!"
Odin was going all out with his explosions. Baldr's mouth twitched as he watched enviously.
Odin was a reliable guy—when it came to explosions, he really delivered!
"Spatial Mismatch!"
With a swoosh, a lower-clan Bose body was sliced in two!
"Aurora Sky!"
Gorgeous aurora fell, solidifying the Bose body.
"Spatial Stretch!"
Baldr pulled hard at the severed Bose body, dragging it right in front of him.
Then came the gang beatdown from Odin and Baldr!
Odin held a magnificent Sun Scepter made of Cosmic Crystal Source, topped with a crystal sun.
He grabbed it with both hands and smashed it repeatedly against the lower-clan Bose body!
Combined with Baldr's spatial attacks,
they managed to kill one lower-clan Bose body!
Odin glared: "Come on! Come again! Let me see how you plan to kill me!"
Gabriel looked on with extreme caution, not daring to get near the explosion range.
09 and 10 also gritted their teeth at Baldr and Odin—these two were incredibly troublesome.
Gabriel urged: "Reinforcements? Weren't there supposed to be reinforcements? Why aren't they..."
09 gritted his teeth: "Any moment now... uh..."
Before he finished, his Glazed Horn flickered, and his face darkened: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿)̄ "Fight's over! Retreat!"
With that, the Bose bodies all ascended into another dimension, disappearing, leaving only Gabriel standing there dumbfounded.
꒰ঌ(ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey! What do you mean fight's over? Don't leave! Take me with you!"
Even Baldr and Odin were stunned. They just withdrew?
What's going on?
The next moment, both of their gazes fell on Gabriel. Odin grinned viciously, the Sun Scepter in his hand like a baseball bat, weighing it nonstop.
Gabriel's fur stood on end, and he turned to flee!
Odin's eyes widened: (ꐦ͡’益͡’) "Where do you think you're going? Solar Flare Heavenly Might!"
...
In Jing Du, Yang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just received news that Holy Star's forces had withdrawn from the moon.
Jiangnan must have succeeded in his theft.
But Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, and the others were worried—where had Xiao Nan run off to?
The next moment, a thunderous roar came from the north!
The Beacon Star Palace, a full thirty thousand meters in size, tore through the clouds and flew toward Jing Du at incredible speed!
Xiao Chuihuo's heart tightened, and he immediately went on alert.
(๑•̀益•́) "Tch—Did Holy Star go all out? They brought the Beacon Star Palace here? Are they trying to fight us to the death?"
Yang Jian grinned: "Don't panic. It's Jiangnan."
They saw Jiangnan's small figure standing on the star ring of the Beacon Star Palace, waving excitedly at everyone.
Magician Piers and the others were petrified.
You're seriously something else!
You didn't go to the moon—in this short time, you went to the polar ice field and stole their star palace?
You even took their Holy Star base?
This God-Slaying War is really thorough!
Li Bing slammed onto her knees, tears of uncontrollable drool flowing down her chin.
(*꒦ິ﹃꒦ີ) "Marry! Marry! Marry me tonight!"
In no time, the Beacon Star Palace floated above Jing Du.
The beacon energy pillar fired, stabbing deeply into the ground of Jing Du, anchoring the star palace.
The next moment, the sound of impacts came from the protective shield, rippling violently.
"Detected unknown Bose body intrusion. Activating shield against energy-type life forms."
"Defense limited. Lord of the palace, please be cautious. Shall we activate the high-beam energy plasma cannon?"
Karl's figure suddenly emerged from the void!
(ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "What the hell 'unknown Bose body'? I'm the lord! Let me in! You scrap metal doesn't even recognize its own master? I bought you! I'm the householder!"
Jiangnan grinned mockingly: (•́.̫•̀) "Pfft! You were the householder just now, but not anymore. The star palace has just been transferred to my name!"
"Since you don't have a home on Lan Xing, I'll just fulfill that little wish of yours!"
"You guys destroyed Jing Du, so I'm borrowing your house—is that too much?"
"What Bose thing is barking outside my door? Ai Jiang, open that plasma cannon and blast it away. It's annoying me!"
The star palace's armored shell opened, and a giant plasma cannon barrel emerged. Compared to this, the God-Slaying Great Cannon was a mere grandchild.
Karl: "You mother—"
[From Karl: Resentment Value +1008!]
"Boom!"
The high-beam energy plasma cannon opened fire!
