Chapter 2284: This Villain, Please Show Some Restraint
Although I don't know what it is, it looks pretty dangerous, right?
However, Venus, who had replicated the ability of the Apocalypse race, knew exactly what this thing was!
Her expression changed dramatically!
!!!!=͟͟͞͞(๑ò◊óﾉ)ﾉ "Run! Run!"
After shouting, without a second word, she directly elevated her dimension and fled!
The next moment, under everyone's horrified gazes, the colorful small fire jar exploded violently!
Dense colorful energy expanded explosively—just one of these things could blow up the Styx River!
The explosion's diameter could even cover a distance of three light-years!
At that moment, the world in the eyes of the joint capture force was filled with colorful energy!
Everyone's fur stood on end as they used defensive measures one after another!
Dante's expression changed drastically!
Where did Jiangnan get a bomb with such terrifying power? Did he also steal the Silicon-based arsenal?
Realizing something was wrong, Atiya turned and charged violently: "It's not an explosion! It's the Tiantang Zhijing! Damn it, too late!"
Right! Exactly!
Jiangnan's goal wasn't to blow the joint capture force to death with the small fire jar!
But rather to use the energy in the small fire jar to feed the two-dimensional fragments in the Tiantang Zhijing!
Just as the explosion bloomed, the starry sky was filled with extremely dense colorful energy!
At the edge of Tiantang Zhijing, countless two-dimensional fragments were all exposed within the dense colorful energy!
The fragments absorbed the energy and grew wildly, expanding rapidly, unfolding three-dimensional space into two dimensions!
With such a massive supply of energy, the expansion speed of the two-dimensional fragments had already far exceeded the speed of light!
The joint capture army didn't even have time to escape!
Originally, the battlefield had been pulled by Jiangnan to gradually approach Tiantang Zhijing!
Plus, with Jiangnan and Wu Liang's taunts, the joint capture force wasn't far from Tiantang Zhijing!
When the small fire jar exploded, the countless expanding two-dimensional fragments stretched almost five light-years toward the 666 mining area in the blink of an eye!
They devoured all the energy completely!
From the beginning of the explosion to everything returning to calm, the whole process took less than three seconds!
A large number of Decree Troops and Northern Crown Order Maintenance Troops were killed on the spot!
Those who weren't killed were grazed by the wildly expanding two-dimensional fragments, turned into photo portraits, forever left on this starry sky gallery!
As for Jiangnan and the others, because they were hiding behind the two-dimensional fragments, the fragments in front absorbed all the energy surging toward them, expanding in all four directions!
Acting as shields, Jiangnan and the others behind were not affected!
Jiangnan propped his chin and nodded repeatedly:
(͡°ก͡°) "Hmm~ The energy of a small fire jar with an explosion diameter of three light-years was completely absorbed by Tiantang Zhijing, extending about five light-years in the direction of the explosion?"
"Oh wow~ So that's it!"
Everyone watching Jiangnan, who was counting on his fingers and nodding, felt a chill run down their spines!
This is the real ruthless guy!
With a smile, he almost annihilated the entire joint capture force!
Using the geographical advantage of Tiantang Zhijing plus feeding with the energy of the colorful small fire jar? This is far more ruthless than directly bombing! Completely impossible to defend against!
Sigh~
Nanshen had planned to do this from the start, right?
As expected of the Nan who caused the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, his moves are truly venomous!
Qian Benying looked at those two-dimensional fragments, her little pink hair standing on end:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪﹏꒪‧̣̥̇) "These fragments are so dangerous?"
Xing Cheng stared at the countless fragments floating in front of her, drooling like a waterfall, opening her mouth to bite!
٩(º﹃º٩)
Scaring Qian Benying and Olivia into grabbing her!
"This one can't be eaten! Eating it will turn you into a photo!"
At the edge of the expanded Tiantang Zhijing!
Many Bose bodies stepped out of the void, some missing arms or legs, their numbers significantly fewer than when they first arrived, their eyes filled with intense fear!
Even if their reactions were fast enough, they were still badly messed up by the two-dimensional fragments, and many Bose bodies were directly left inside as photos!
They couldn't even elevate their dimensions in time! Even Bose bodies, which could exist in four-dimensional space, couldn't maintain life forms in two-dimensional space!
The energy level of two-dimensional space was too low, and a large amount of information states would be directly lost!
Dante and Venus were fine, but Atiya flew out extremely disheveled!
One wing and half a leg were gone, recovering under the effect of the flawless sacred body!
꒰ঌ(yi yi yi٥) "Tsk~ Thought I'd undergo nirvana, damn it!"
Even if she turned into an egg, the egg would probably be two-dimensionally expanded!
Most of those who escaped were Bose bodies, along with a few scattered energy bodies from the legion; Carbon-based beings were almost impossible!
The joint legion that had come so grandly now had only a few remnants!
The rest were all killed by Jiangnan's single move! Even if Dante racked his brain, he couldn't imagine Jiangnan would pull such a stunt!
Venus looked grim:
(٥´-﹏-) "What do we do now? This... this won't be explainable to Lord Dichou, right?"
Atiya said gloomily: "If it's about going into Tiantang Zhijing to catch people, don't expect me to go with you. Bose bodies can still elevate dimensions to escape!"
"I have nowhere to run. Getting out this time was already a stroke of luck!"
Dante was trembling with rage. He had originally wanted to go head-to-head with Jiangnan to prove he wasn't just a coward relying on women, but instead, he ended up battered and bruised, and the Creation Beast had fallen into Jiangnan's hands!
(￢益￢) "What else can we do? Go back and prepare for a second capture operation. Anyway, Tiantang Zhijing will be taken sooner or later!"
"Just take down Jiangnan along with it! The Creation Beast must be recovered. Send people to guard Tiantang Zhijing, suppress the void, and don't let a single person out!"
"We can only prepare to counter the two-dimensional fragments before conducting the capture operation. The 665 mining area is in Chong Bishi's hands, so we need to coordinate with her side!"
The more Dante thought, the angrier he got, his grievance value refreshing constantly!
Jiangnan, however, approached slyly:
(๑ﾟꇴﾟ)ﾂ "Yo~ Still alive, huh? Pretty tough, aren't you? Who was it that said they were going to catch me a moment ago?"
"Why don't you come at me again? Want me to send another one your way?"
Dante's eyes were bloodshot: (ꐦ▼min▼) "Jiangnan! Don't get cocky! With the power you have, how can you contend with the Sacred Law Council?"
"You can use two-dimensional fragments? We can use them too. This is a double-edged sword! Next time we come, it won't be me in charge!"
"It will be a Star Devourer!"
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly:
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Come anytime! What big scenes hasn't your grandpa seen? But you'd better hurry!"
"In the meantime, I'll take good care of Little Cutie Yingyu for you. Next time we meet, maybe she'll even have kids with me~ Hehehe~"
Dante: (இyiஇꐦ) D*mn it!!!
[From Dante's grievance value +1009!]
[From Dante's...]
Enraged, Dante turned and left without staying any longer. He was afraid he'd die of anger here!
Everyone looked at Jiangnan, sweat pouring from their foreheads. Hey hey hey, this villain, please show some restraint! With this tone and expression, you're making us want to uphold justice and execute you!
What the heck with "having kids with me"? Listening to this tone, it feels like you're going to personally get involved!
The joint capture force left in defeat, leaving only the mess of the 666 mining area!
But this didn't mean the operation was over. Instead, the Silicon-based sent more void-suppressing star ships to surround and blockade Tiantang Zhijing!
Cutting off any possibility of Jiangnan and the others escaping from here!
...
Watching Dante and the others leave, Jiangnan patted his small hands in satisfaction!
Mother Creation Beast +1, profit!
Suona swallowed his saliva: "Now we're trapped inside. The next capture operation will only be more vicious. If there really is a Star Devourer level overseeing things, then we really have no way out, right?"
"Where do we go from here? Try to return to the dimensional gap?"
Chong Feiyu was a little disappointed:
(◞‸◟) "So the plan to catch Pulanbi can't be carried out anymore~"
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips and looked into the depths of Tiantang Zhijing with satisfaction:
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Who said that? The plan went pretty smoothly!"
"Everyone, be careful not to touch the two-dimensional fragments. This will be our camp from now on. Blind girl, why don't you quickly pick a good spot so I can set up camp and rest?"
Everyone nearly spat blood. Not kidding? Nanshen really plans to settle down in Tiantang Zhijing!
Didn't he say there were monsters here?
Before searching for a good spot, Jiangnan waited a little while. Lan and Ai Jiang had sent the ship home and then ran back to join Jiangnan!
As soon as they met, Lan gave Jiangnan a big bear hug!
Jiangnan laughed heartily. Mi La saw Lan getting a hug and wanted one too!
So Jiangnan hugged Mi La in one arm and Lan in the other!
Leading everyone deeper into Tiantang Zhijing, they found a golden, auspicious spot where the two-dimensional fragments weren't very dense!
But the fragments in Tiantang Zhijing were always moving randomly, and there was no guarantee they wouldn't collide at any moment!
Moreover, the open space wasn't very large!
Jiangnan scratched his head: ୧(•̌～•̑) "I don't want to live in Tiantang Zhijing in constant fear of being turned into a photo at any moment. Isn't there any way to move these drifting fragments?"
Any matter or energy that touches a fragment will be two-dimensionalized, even mental power!
Even if Jiangnan pushes with his Palm Realm expansion, the space that expands will be unfolded upon touching the two-dimensional fragments!
Since simply expanding space doesn't generate energy to support fragment expansion, the fragments won't actively expand space!
But that doesn't mean they can't expand the three-dimensional space that squeezes them!
Warp bubbles can carry two-dimensional fragments because, essentially, the space inside the warp bubble remains unchanged, allowing the fragments' carrying space to move together!
But warp bubbles aren't very large, and when encountering large fragments, this method fails!
Wang Youzhi suddenly spoke: (°～°〃) "Try using a gravitational field. The essence of gravity is the depression of flat space. The greater the depression, the stronger the gravity!"
"Two-dimensional fragments will likely flow toward the gravitational point along the depressed space. Do we have any Stardust clan members?"
Yakeli crossed his arms and said coolly: "No need for the Stardust clan. I'll do it!"
He directly expanded his Stardust gravitational field and set up gravitational points around!
Sure enough, those two-dimensional fragments slowly drifted toward the gravitational points!
This created a clean, empty camping ground without any two-dimensional fragments!
Jiangnan's eyes flickered. The gravitational field can pull two-dimensional fragments? That means the Stardust clan can do it too!
He'll have to be careful in the future!
Unfortunately, two-dimensional fragments taken out of Tiantang Zhijing would disappear within a few seconds. Otherwise, using the gravitational field to take some out as weapons would be extremely terrifying!
With the open space available, Jiangnan directly took out a crystal ball from the alternate dimension and threw it out!
Inside was a small planetary rare metal treasury compressed by the Big Power Heavenly Dragon, with living conditions, taken from Feiyu's personal treasury!
"Let's use this as a temporary base for now!"
