# Chapter 2645: Through the Myriad Army
But Gangxiu was not one to sit idly by either. Having finally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no matter how great the cost, it would be worth it to crush Jiangnan here!
Those mechanical soldiers no longer fled. Instead, they charged straight toward the black hole, attempting to strike Jiangnan and interrupt his control.
But this was nothing short of fantasy!
Jiangnan was currently within the time dilation zone. The black hole's event horizon itself provided the best protection. Any attacks that approached him slowed down before being torn apart by gravitational forces.
The position Jiangnan occupied was a forbidden zone for anyone!
Watching the black hole's accretion disk grow larger and larger, Jiangnan's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
*Heh?* An accretion disk this big should be about ready for a jet, shouldn't it?
If he could manipulate the black hole to create a black hole jet...
Then every black hole beneath the starry sky would become a world-destroying divine weapon in Jiangnan's hands!
However, ideals were plump, but reality was bone-thin.
Just as Jiangnan was about to manipulate the black hole's accretion disk and imitate the black hole jet process from before...
An overwhelming tearing sensation struck him!
Σ(ଵཀଵ|||) "Pfft—*cough cough cough*—"
Jiangnan violently spat out a mouthful of old blood, then coughed harshly, his vision going dark for a moment.
The Grand Starry Sky Dominion domain nearly shattered!
Even his control over the black hole faltered. Like a runaway bumper car on a highway, it swerved and drifted wildly, scaring everyone half to death. Jiangnan's position within the time dilation zone slipped even further inward.
Yang Jian and the others watched with pounding hearts.
*My little ancestor, please take it easy! Don't get distracted while walking a black hole!*
*You're carrying the racial beacons of over a thousand Carbon Alliance members on you!*
Black God covered his face. *Damn it! That guy was definitely trying to control a black hole jet just now, wasn't he?*
*Did you forget what level you are?!*
*You're only at Transcendent Phase Ten! Are you trying to defy the heavens or what?*
Clearly, this wildly imaginative idea was beyond Jiangnan's current capabilities.
But how could the Silicon-based let such a perfect opportunity slip by?
The Imitation-Jiangnan Mechanical Unit charged headlong toward the black hole, voice packs fully loaded.
"A man who goes wild will surely die! That line suits you perfectly!"
"Weren't you thanking the Top Donor Big Brother for sending a black hole? Well, I'll send you ten more, so you can thank me even more!"
In an instant, among those Imitation-Jiangnan Mechanical Units, ten more carrying Neutron Star Colliders activated on the spot!
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Upon the black hole's massive accretion disk, ten miniature black holes abruptly emerged!
The moment they were born, they twisted space and gravity into a chaotic mess, wantonly tearing at the accretion disk!
This greatly hindered Jiangnan's control.
And every single one of those ten miniature black holes was captured by the central black hole, dragged toward the middle!
No matter how freakish Jiangnan's Starry Sky Dominion was, he couldn't stop a black hole from devouring other black holes.
Clearly, the Silicon-based intended to replicate the move that had once trapped Innocent—feeding the hole with holes to trigger a black hole flare, forcing Jiangnan into a dead end!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: (｡･ˇ益ˇ･) "Top Donor Big Brother, huh? You dare pull tricks on me? Since you're so generous, I'll gladly accept!"
With that, he didn't dare stay put. Instead, he warped around the black hole laterally, trying to avoid the miniature black holes being dragged toward him.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiangnan's figure was completely obscured by the black hole, his fate unknown.
At last, the fusion happened!
The central black hole, having devoured ten miniature ones, immediately expanded. Gravity surged, and the accretion disk was compressed by the wildly increased gravitational force, transforming into expanding hot gas bubbles that formed flares. The bubbles vaporized the accretion disk, emitting incomparably intense light.
The flare form was activated! The flare began!
A world-destroying demon was born!
Extremely intense light containing explosive energy, mixed with oscillating gravitational waves, radiated outward in all directions. A blinding white light illuminated the starry sky!
The light emitted was even brighter than all the stars in an entire galaxy combined!
Such was the terror of a black hole flare!
In comparison, the explosion from the dark energy and normal energy collision earlier was nothing—like the difference between a firecracker and a C4 bomb.
At this moment, even Youming and Chong Feiyu panicked.
A flare of this magnitude—even Star Devourers wouldn't want to tank it head-on!
How was Jiangnan supposed to block it?
Had he really capsized?
But before the black hole flare's light could fully erupt—
The next moment, an infinite two-dimensional plane expanded outward at a speed surpassing everything!
In an instant, the entire black hole became like a giant sea urchin bristling with spikes.
A pure white two-dimensional plane madly expanded across the starry sky!
In the blink of an eye, it devoured all the energy emitted by the black hole flare, using it for its own expansion!
Every bit of matter and energy it touched along the way was flattened!
This was, without a doubt, the most freakish expansion of the two-dimensional plane since Jiangnan had acquired his Dimensional Reduction Strike. Because it had never encountered such a terrifying energy release as a black hole flare!
Even many nearby Bose Clan warriors, before they could react, were inscribed into the two-dimensional plane!
No one expected that the black hole, which had been flaring just a moment ago, would be instantly suppressed, exploding into a giant sea urchin!
But this form lasted only a moment. The wildly extending two-dimensional plane was crushed by the black hole's immense gravity into countless fragments orbiting the black hole—either vanishing or falling into darkness.
After the flare, the black hole returned to calm. The surrounding starry sky was empty, devoid of starlight.
There stood Jiangnan, bearing the World Tree on his back, the base planet shining behind him, covered from head to toe in pure white two-dimensional armor.
He was like a celestial god stepping out of a heavenly palace. Using the thrust from the expanding two-dimensional fragments, he had safely withdrawn from the black hole's gravitational capture range.
Now he stood alone in the empty starry sky.
(๑･ˇࡇˇ･) "Mm~ this really is a big gift. Thanks, Top Donor Big Brother... Oh? Where did Top Donor Big Brother go?"
"Ooh~ ooh~ you sent me ten black hole gifts, but you ended up gifting yourself away? You don't have to support my work that much!"
Where was the mechanical legion now? All of them had been taken away by that one wave of two-dimensional flare!
Even many Bose warriors were caught in the blast, dying unjustly.
Gangxiu and the others on the Silicon-based front were left speechless.
He *still* didn't die?
The mechanical legion had made such a big show, but not only did they fail to harm Jiangnan, they got themselves wiped out!
Jiangnan's Dimensional Reduction Strike was too freakish!
The power of this skill was in no way limited by Jiangnan's own rank!
The more terrifying the energy, the greater the destructive force the two-dimensional fragments could unleash, and the faster the expansion speed.
It could even swallow the energy of a black hole flare in one gulp, extinguishing it at its initial stage?
The expansion speed was already far beyond just faster-than-light!
Originally, the Silicon-based had plans to attack the moat using Neutron Star Colliders.
But now, it seemed those plans were dead on arrival.
The Styx River indeed couldn't handle a black hole, but Jiangnan could control black holes and even use them against them.
They would have to make other plans, wouldn't they?
Fortunately, the Silicon-based never prepared just one option.
Black God watched this scene, the corners of his eyes twitching. *Using Dimensional Reduction Strike to flatten the energy of a black hole flare?*
*You actually thought of that!*
*This skill really wasn't wasted on you!*
Right now, Jiangnan stood right next to the black hole, carrying over a thousand racial beacons. His entire body was loaded with compressed base planets. In terms of points alone, he had tens of millions at least!
Yet no one dared to try and snatch them from him!
Thanks to Jiangnan, who had been drawing fire and causing chaos over here, Gamma and the Insect Race, though they had lost some base planets, had successfully charged over to the Human defense zone, delivering their base planets and racial beacons safely.
The Star Farming Clan and the small races Yakeli was responsible for had also gathered at the Human defense zone.
The only one left was Jiangnan, who still hadn't returned.
Jiangnan scanned his surroundings:
(͡°◠͡°) "Are you still going to try and take them? If you are, I'll drive this black hole through a couple of laps around your bases, then go home."
"If not, then I'll be on my way. Walking a black hole is pretty tiring, you know~"
No one spoke. The Silicon-based didn't send any more troops after Jiangnan. Tianli, meanwhile, had turned to plunder others.
Clearly, they had given up on trying to snatch base planets from Jiangnan.
They couldn't destroy them, and they couldn't steal them.
With all this effort, it was better to try taking from others. Fighting anyone was easier than fighting Jiangnan!
And this interception hadn't been completely fruitless. At least they had obtained over thirty percent of the base planets from the Carbon Alliance.
As for the rest, getting their hands on them would be much harder.
Seeing no one respond, Jiangnan simply left the black hole where it was and warped straight toward the Human position.
As he walked, he cursed under his breath.
ﾚ(￢◠￢;)ﾍ "Pfft~ nothing special... Trying to rob me? What were you thinking? You wouldn't even dare dream that wildly!"
"If it weren't for the ten thousand or so planets hanging off me, I'd catch every last one of you and bleed you dry!"
Despite his domineering posture all the way home, deep in his eyes was thick exhaustion.
Using his domain to manipulate a black hole was still too much of a stretch—incredibly draining.
If he had walked it any longer, Jiangnan would have lost the strength to keep going.
As for that massive fused black hole—it wasn't that Jiangnan didn't want to steer it home and show off. The main problem was that sphere was too big. If he didn't go all out, he really couldn't move it!
Carrying a full load of planets, Jiangnan arrived home safely. He dumped all the planets into the Stygian River, and the Netherworld Clan immediately came to tow them away.
By the time Jiangnan was back, Ye Yuanwei and the others had only just emerged from the Dimensional Gap with their base planet.
The first thing they did was look at the battlefield.
What met their eyes was that enormous black hole, and their eyes instantly reddened.
*˚₊*(ॢᵒ̴̶̷̥́ლᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ˋॢ)*₊˚ Nan Shen had...*
(๑◔～◔ิ) "Huh? What are you staring at? I was pretty tired hauling those base planets over here. Don't you want to give me a back rub or a shoulder massage?"
"It'd be even better if you two did it on each side. As the Alliance Master, it's not too much for me to enjoy this little perk, is it?"
Ye Jinser was taken aback. She looked at the giant black hole, then at Jiangnan, who didn't even have a scratch.
