Chapter 1870: Life Really Is Unpredictable
Carl, who had just cut off the three horns of the Creation Beast, was exhausted!
If I can't have it, I won't let you have it easily either!
He turned to look at his own starship. What was going on? Why was it firing on his own people?
Had the starship's AI gone haywire?
He instinctively looked toward Jiangnan behind Xiao Chuihuo. Seeing that he was still there, he inexplicably let out a sigh of relief!
But the next moment, the scene Carl least wanted to see still happened!
A familiar spatial fluctuation came from the starship!
A spatial wormhole suddenly unfolded outside the starship!
"Smack!"
A crisp sound rang out as Jiangnan kicked Kori right on the rear!
She shot out of the wormhole like a firework rocket, clutching her rear and crying, wailing as she flew toward Igor!
(˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅˚)=͟͟͞͞=З=З=З
"Ahhh~ That damn Jiangnan! I will never let you off! No matter where you go, through mountains of knives or seas of fire, I will definitely kill you!"
Her scream echoed across the battlefield!
And the next moment, a golden leopard with antennae suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship, a smirk curling at the corner of its mouth!
(◕͡°⥎͡°)✧ "Yo~ Suprize, motherf*cker~"
"Welcome to this captain's newly acquired Sun-class warp cruiser! My lovely logistics transport officer! Carl!"
As soon as he said this, the entire battlefield fell silent. Everyone's gaze focused on that golden antenna leopard!
Jiangnan's voice! It was Jiangnan?
He... he had stolen Carl's starship too?
Holy crap! When did this happen?
Wait! This isn't right!
Jiangnan went to steal the starship? Then who was the one next to Xiao Chuihuo fighting everyone?
Even Carl's eyes widened as he looked at Qian Bennan!
Qianbenshu adjusted her headband and transformed back into her original appearance, looking smug!
(๑︶ں︶) "Huh? Did I ever say I was Jiangnan? I just love cosplaying!"
Everyone's jaws hit the floor. A... a swap?
When did this happen?
What a brilliant bait-and-switch! That's incredible!
Seriously, did no one notice that Qianbenshu had disappeared for a while?!
[From Carl's resentment value +1008!]
[From Carl...]
He was about to speak, unable to contain his fury at having his starship stolen!
Igor: !!!
(´థ皿థ)σ "×× Lord! Shut your mouth! Don't say a word! This is a trap they've set, just waiting for you to fall into it!"
The ten-thousand-word rant Carl had been brewing in his gut was immediately choked back. He stomped his feet in rage!
You could steal the Star Palace, but you can also steal the starship?
Transfer ownership just like that? Is the silicon-based security program eating shit?
This loss was enormous!
Jiangnan was a bit stunned. How did he know I was setting a trap for him?
So that's what "×× Lord" means!
He turned back to see Qianbenshu smugly shaking the bulging sack at him!
Jiangnan grinned. Not bad? Hardworking Sakura is pretty good?
Quite a haul. Maybe I should give her a little reward!
Then he looked provocatively at Carl!
(O՞ں՞) "Why aren't you talking? Didn't someone named ×× swear an oath before? That if I stole the starship again, he'd take my surname?"
"My good son! You're not allowed to go back on your word. Ah, la la~ You must not believe I actually got your starship, right?"
"Love AI, fire another plasma cannon to show them!"
"Boom!"
A white-hot plasma cannon column swept across the battlefield once again!
Carl's lungs were about to explode with rage. He turned to look toward the Creation Beast!
Although all three horns had been cut off, Jiang Jing had already completed the spiritual contract!
A complex glazed sigil shimmered on Jiang Jing's chest, eventually fading completely.
Jiang Jing's figure materialized above the Creation Beast's head, surrounded by ten-colored Creation particles swirling around her like a celestial feathered robe, breathtakingly beautiful!
Her originally petite body seemed to have matured slightly with the completion of the contract!
She slowly opened her eyes and looked toward Jiangnan. Everyone was mesmerized by this beautiful scene!
٩(º﹃º٩) "Brother Jiangnan~ You promised me the 82-year-old hot sauce!"
Qianbenshu: (๑˃̶3˂̶) Pfft~
The atmosphere was completely ruined by her!
Jiangnan laughed heartily: "I'll arrange it for you later!"
Then his gaze turned to Carl, his eyes growing cold: "So, shouldn't you disappear from my sight now?"
Carl was fuming!
The Creation Beast wasn't saved, the spirit medium couldn't be retrieved, they had bound it!
The Star Palace was lost, the starship was lost too, and the void nails he'd just taken out to control the Creation Beast had been seized by Jiangnan!
All his assets had been lost on Lan Xing! He had nothing left!
Carl had roamed the Starry Sky for years, conquered countless civilizations, but this was his first time being this miserable!
The situation had completely turned in humanity's favor. At this moment, Carl almost felt like crying!
A deep sense of defeat enveloped him. His former pride was shattered!
01 swallowed hard, looking troubled:
(⁰¹◔﹏◔ิ) "Lord Carl? What now..."
Before he could finish, Carl grabbed the Holy Judgment Sword and stabbed it straight into 01's throat, twisting it around!
Are you not satisfied with how miserable I am? Trying to screw me over on purpose?
Dare to call my name?
01 rolled his eyes from the stabbing, making everyone else shudder!
They all clamped their mouths shut, not daring to speak!
Igor's face was bitter as he looked at the God-Slaying Legion, each holding a God-Slaying Weapon, plus the starship, the Creation Beast, the Four Transcendents, and so on...
The power humanity now commanded had grown to an undeniable level!
Far surpassing the previous two spiritual energy resurgences!
And now with one more Bose Body lost, the Star Saint's remaining forces had no chance of turning things around!
They were even feeling overwhelmed by humanity's pressure!
Igor smiled bitterly and shook his head at Carl!
This really is life, unpredictable!
Although he didn't want to admit it, the game on Lan Xing was unwinnable now!
Carl squinted, finally speaking:
(✡‾᷄益‾᷅) "I just want to know, how did you find out the Creation Beast's location?"
"Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"
As soon as he said this, Cooper's heart jumped to his throat!
Jiangnan sneered: "Coincidence! I also want to know, how did you manage to distract the Transcendents so smoothly during your last operation?"
"Isn't the timing also a bit too coincidental?"
As soon as he said this, Igor's heart shuddered violently. But Quinn in the crowd showed no abnormality, instead looking indignant!
Carl raised an eyebrow: (✡◔д◔ิ) "So we both have secrets?"
He looked at those around him with suspicion, especially Kori!
Jiangnan scoffed: "Don't misunderstand. The Creation Beast's location? It's easy to predict. Think our Fate Witch is useless?"
"Right, Zi Yuan?"
He smirked and winked at Zi Yuan!
Carl's gaze also fell on her, murder flashing in his eyes!
A prophecy-type ability user?
Damn it. Human abilities sure are varied!
Zi Yuan's face turned pale with fear. She shook her head like a rattle:
੧੧(☍口⁰。) "No, no, no~ I'm a noob Zi Yuan, I'm very weak. A hundred of me to the 99th power can't beat Jiangnan!"
"I don't know any prophecy stuff! I just like to sleep. I'm the most useless one, wuwu~"
She was already trembling like a massage gun!
What if the Star Saint thinks I'm important and sends someone to kill me? I'd be dead!
I don't want to be written off yet!
Carl sneered at Zi Yuan. Troublemaker. Need to deal with her quickly!
Jiangnan remained expressionless. This was the only way to cover for Cooper, to create a good cover environment for him!
Protecting Zi Yuan was much easier than protecting Cooper!
Under the current situation, they had to keep tabs on the Star Saint's movements to avoid losses from surprise attacks!
Jiangnan squinted: "As for you, you've buried your spies deep. Pretty good at playing games. Just wait and see. I'll root them all out sooner or later!"
(〃՞ټ՞) "Maybe Noob Zi Yuan will dream about who the spy is tomorrow!"
Igor's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. This woman's ability was too troublesome. They had to find a way to deal with her!
Yang Jian, meanwhile, quietly observed their own people, testing to see if anyone would slip up!
Unfortunately, nothing came of it!
Carl took a deep breath, looking at the thriving, momentum-filled human faction!
His pride was gone!
"Congratulations. You've made the Star Saint lose this game. You've done it!"
"But the trajectory of history won't repeat itself. The Star Ruins development of Lan Xing won't have a fifth spiritual energy resurgence!"
"This is the last time! Remember this clearly. For the Star Saint, for the Bose Clan, this is just a game!"
"For humanity, it's about survival! Just wait quietly here for the judgment of fate!"
Jiangnan didn't curse back or say anything else. His eyes blazed with enough Starlight to burn through the heavens!
"I'll wait!"
Humanity currently couldn't play the same game as the Bose Clan!
Any wild talk without strength to back it up was just barking, hot air!
History's trajectory wouldn't repeat itself, and Jiangnan didn't want it to!
Let time prove everything!
Carl sneered coldly, turned around and left. Staying any longer was just humiliation. The current situation was beyond even his ability to reverse!
Odin's eyes widened: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Leave? You think you can leave that easily? You're not leaving a few of your men behind!"
"Polar Aurora!"
The God-Slaying Legion quickly pressed forward. Even that Crab Boss joined in, catching a straggler!
Spatial Control caught Gabriel, followed by a powerful barrage from Xiao Chuihuo and Odin!
Gabriel screamed in agony. Even the Undying Bird couldn't take it!
Doesn't the Star Saint ever bring their own people when retreating?
꒰ঌ(´థ口థ)໒꒱ "Save me! Save me! You can't just abandon me!"
Carl, who had just walked a short distance, stiffened. Worthless piece of trash! I said we're retreating. How did you get caught? What use are you?
Gabriel saw Carl stop and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "Car..."
Before he could finish, Gabriel suddenly remembered that 01 had called Carl's name and gotten his throat slit with the Holy Judgment Sword!
If he called Carl's name and they used it, Carl might carve him up later!
So Gabriel had a bright idea!
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ﾍ(´口`)ﾉ "Jiang Er! Lord Jiang Er! Save me! We're on the same side!"
Carl: ???
Two veins bulged on his forehead:
(ꐦ⚆益⚆ꐦ) "F*ck your stupid angel! Not saving you now! You're the only one with a mouth, huh? Die already!"
He turned and took his people away. Gabriel panicked:
ﾍ(;´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`)ﾉ "Hey, hey, hey! Don't leave! Wasn't it you who said to change the name? I'm just following your wishes! You... ptooey~"
"Why are you all like this!"
Under Xiao Chuihuo's blazing flames, Gabriel immediately Nirvana-ed into a black egg...
Jiangnan's mouth twitched. This Gabriel was quite the clever little one. Died not unfairly!
"My good son, take your time leaving! Don't miss Daddy too much!"
[From Carl's resentment value +1008!]
