Chapter 2403: Ahhh
While the entire internet was discussing the Cosmos Grand Hunt and analyzing the various seeded contenders!
The Angel Race execution video officially released by the Human Spirit Martial Alliance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves!
It directly detonated the Star Network. Few could make it through the entire video without throwing up, because the brutal execution methods were just too much to stomach!
Only a freak like Prison Bird could watch the whole thing with a smile and not skip ahead, right?
Everyone thought this conflict would end with mutual fear and peaceful negotiations!
Who would've guessed that Jiangnan would directly attack the Sacred Celestial Kingdom with such tough measures, forcing Lucifer to hand over the angel, and execute her in front of Lucifer for an entire hour?
Facing a Top Ten Sequence, Humanity had done this, showing no fear whatsoever, even killing all the way to their home base because one of their own had died!
As far as top-tier deterrence went, Humanity was already no slouch against the major starry sky races!
The discussion under the video was going crazy!
(´-﹏-`；) "Is there anyone who can still handle Jiang the Devil? Humanity is definitely going to participate in this Sequence War. Whoever goes up against a Human contestant will have to think twice, right? I mean, if they kill one of them, Jiangnan might..."
(°～°〃) "Huh? The Cosmos Grand Hunt is a fair competition. Blades and fists have no eyes. Dying is pretty common, right? Jiang the Devil wouldn't retaliate over something like that, would he?"
(￢益￢٥) "Pfft! Why don't you go try it? See if Jiang the Calamity comes to your place for a visit? Better to dig up someone's ancestral graves than to piss off Brother Nan! I've finally figured it out—this guy will do anything!"
(〃⁼̴◡⁼̴) "Hey there, classmate, you wouldn't want to get sliced up by Jiang the Slicer, would you? If you run into a Human in the Cosmos Grand Hunt, just run. I don't want to mess with..."
Clearly, the video Jiangnan released had a huge deterrent effect. At least the situation where all the starry sky races united against Humanity was unlikely to happen now!
And the Angel Race, facing such actions from Humanity, said nothing and chose silence!
Their face was already completely lost. Lucifer now only wanted to hold onto her position as the Tenth Sequence!
Σ(°﹏°|||) "Sss—Our race's ancient ancestor has already fully analyzed Jiang the Slicer's strength. The conclusion is that below Star Devourer, there's no hope! If he enters the Cosmos Grand Hunt, he'll just slaughter everyone, right? Who can beat him?"
(￢_￢) "Hmph—Don't deify Jiang the Slicer either. Although the Cosmos Grand Hunt doesn't allow Star Devourers to participate, the successors trained by the major races, the young generation leaders, aren't pushovers either!"
"Many of them are low-key and don't show their strength! The Dark Cosmos Entity's Night Iris, Night Jinse sisters, the Apocalypse Race's Du Lingyu, the Insect Race's Chong Kun Chong! Aren't they all heaven's favored destined to become Star Devourers?"
"It's said that the Bose Clan's Innocent is a quasi-Star Devourer, the strongest below Star Devourer, about to become the Bose Clan's ninth Star Devourer. He's only suppressing his level because of this Cosmos Grand Hunt! Just wait and see—this Cosmos Grand Hunt is bound to be a dragon-fight and tiger-brawl, a shining of the stars!"
Even so, among the young generation below Star Devourer, the most famous name was still Jiang the Slicer!
Two major calamities in a row had established his reputation among the stars as unrivaled! The Fifth Calamity was just a bad name!
The Star Network discussion was crazy. The Human water army keyboard warrior unit was frantically reposting and spreading the video. The Silicon race didn't censor it either!
After all, who knew if Jiangnan might suddenly get the urge to go to the Silicon race's Terminal Database and drop a wave of heavenly thunder?
......
Bose Star Domain, Eternal Ancient Hall! The eight Star Devourers of the Bose Clan were all seated in the upper seats, including Di Chou and Yu Gen!
Except all eight looked a bit weak!
Right now, the Angel Race execution video was playing in the ancient hall, and the faces of the Star Devourers all looked somewhat gloomy!
Di Chou clenched his steel teeth: (￢益￢✡) "Damn it! Who is this little rabbit bastard showing off for? Making such a big fuss right before the Sequence War! He's got some nerve!"
"Relying on his Black Hole Star Devourer, he repeatedly provokes the Sacred Law Council's authority. How long will we let him run rampant?"
Jiangnan's existence was like a fishbone stuck in the Bose Clan's throat!
Yu Gen squinted: "He needs to be killed. The Star Project makes me uneasy. This kid Jiangnan has big ambitions, not just to fight for a seat."
"This Cosmos Grand Hunt might be a great opportunity."
"Hmm... he really needs to be killed. His existence has already threatened our clan's dominant position!"
"That one might be strong, but it's just him alone. Jiangnan is different—he has many people behind him. We can't let him continue to exist!"
The various Star Devourers voiced their opinions one after another!
But just then, an old Bose Clan elder with a hunched figure and a decrepit appearance lightly tapped the table!
The entire hall instantly fell silent. Everyone's gaze focused on him with respect!
His aura was dormant, his face full of the marks of time, an ancient aura washing over everyone!
If Jiangnan saw him, he'd probably be shocked, not knowing a Bose body could age like this!
He was the current true power holder of the Bose Clan: Qian Li!
Qian Li spoke hoarsely: "You all know that any existence threatening the continuation of the Thousand Stars Era should be nipped in the bud! The sooner, the better!"
"But don't forget! Why are we holding the Cosmos Grand Hunt in the Chuangjie Daxu? This matter cannot be delayed in the slightest!"
"Since the beginning of the Thousand Stars Era, Sequence Wars have been held over 220,000 times, with multiple seed collections. And this one is also a seed collection round! You all know how important this is to Xun Zu!"
"It carries the ambition of our race's Eternal Era. Whether we can continue our glory in this Thousand Stars Era depends on this!"
Di Chou's eyes lit up: "Lord Qian Li? Are you saying that Xun Zu has reached a critical juncture? As long as we collect seeds one more time, he might..."
Before he finished, Qian Li tapped the table: "Xiao Chou, how many times have I told you? Composure! Composure! How many years have you lived? Why are you still so impatient?"
Di Chou scratched his head shyly!
Qian Li changed the subject: "But what he said isn't wrong. Maybe it's just a hair's breadth away. And the Thousand Stars Era has only been going on for 2.2 billion years, far from reaching its peak!"
"Once Xun Zu crosses over, do you know what that means? The tragedy of the Cosmos War won't repeat itself!"
At this moment, all the Bose Clan Star Devourers present had bright eyes, suppressing their excitement!
Qian Li said calmly: "So! Everything proceeds according to the original plan, just like previous rounds. Establish our clan's dominant position, widen the gap with other races!"
"Successfully complete the seed collection mission, assist Xun Zu! As for Jiangnan, the Angel Race will keep him busy first. He won't come looking for trouble with our Bose Clan!"
"When everything is settled, we'll destroy him then. But you're right about one thing—he has Black God backing him, hard to kill in the starry sky. The Chuangjie Daxu is indeed the perfect opportunity!"
"Call Innocent here. I'll talk to him personally!"
Soon, a Bose Clan member announced loudly: "Summon... Innocent!"
A young Bose Clan man with his head held high strode into the Eternal Ancient Hall!
He had a cool, short ice-silk buzz cut, a perfect chiseled face!
At his waist hung a slender holy judgment blade over three meters long, not a glassy color but a ten-colored one!
Even the two horns on his head were ten-colored!
Behind him followed a long-haired Bose Clan girl in armor!
Her ice-silk long hair was rolled into a bun and pinned behind her head with a hairpin. She was only half a head shorter than Innocent and carried a heavy sword on her back!
The twin horns on her head were also ten-colored!
Her name was Zhong Xu, Innocent's partner!
At this moment, Zhong Xu stared at Innocent's back as he walked forward, her big eyes filled with fanatical admiration, unable to take her eyes off him for even half a second!
Innocent arrived at the center of the ancient hall and bowed deeply to the Star Devourers!
"Lawkeeper Innocent! Greetings to the elders! May I ask why I have been summoned?"
Behind him, Zhong Xu also bowed in greeting, her eyes full of respect, though most of her gaze kept falling on Innocent's perky butt!
Qian Li smiled: "I'm instructing you on some matters regarding the Cosmos Grand Hunt. Rise, no need to be so respectful! After this Sequence War, you will become our clan's Star Devourer!"
"A seat has already been reserved for you in the Eternal Ancient Hall. You will be treated as a peer from then on. It must have been tough suppressing your level all this time, right?"
Innocent shook his head, neither humble nor arrogant: "It's not tough. Our clan is not lacking in Star Devourers. My participation in this Sequence War at a suppressed level is the maximization of value!"
"I, Innocent, am willing to do anything for the Bose Clan. As for being treated as a peer, I dare not. The respect I owe must still be given!"
Qian Li laughed heartily. The Star Devourers' gazes at Innocent were full of satisfaction!
"Are you filming? Fourth Bro? Are you filming?"
An untimely voice rang out!
Zhang San was standing right in the middle of the Eternal Ancient Hall, holding a hand-grab cake in one hand and grilled cold noodles in the other, stuffing them into his mouth nonstop!
He tilted his head curiously at Innocent, occasionally glancing at the eight Star Devourers above!
Beside him, Li Si carried a camera on his shoulder, trembling all over like a sieve!
(☍﹏⁰。) "Damn! Bro! Keep your voice down! What if they notice us? This is the Bose Clan's whatever holy hall!"
"You're eating a hand-grab cake on their turf. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
Zhang San rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั*) "I've been sneaking into the secret bases of how many sequences to eavesdrop on intelligence with you? Why are you still so scared?"
(ꐦงᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง "I wish they would find me! Ah!!! Ahhh!!! I'm gonna kill you!"
Zhang San suddenly shouted at the eight Bose Star Devourers on the hall's upper seats, screaming like a groundhog, cursing wildly!
But everyone present, except for Li Si, treated Zhang San and Li Si as if they didn't exist!
No one noticed Zhang San eating a hand-grab cake in the ancient hall!
ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ: "See?"
Maybe before, Bose bodies could still detect Zhang San's existence!
But ever since Zhang San reached the Transcendent Realm, even Bose bodies couldn't sense him anymore! Even if the Bose body was a Star Devourer...
Li Si trembled even harder. Damn it, eavesdropping on intelligence?
You call this eavesdropping? You're just strolling in openly, watching the excitement while they discuss confidential matters, aren't you?
