Chapter 2650: Confused
Big Wise One quickly spotted the problem—where in the starry sky could there be such a powerful attack method?
One that bypasses layers of defense and applies weakening debuffs to a massive enemy force?
Can't even be purified?
Plus, the various buff icons floating above the bald army's heads, he instantly understood the key!
His eyes bloodshot, he stared at the red loudspeaker in Wang Youzhi's hand!
Roaring: (´థYiథ)σ "It must be! It must be that loudspeaker causing trouble! Everyone, don't listen to his crap! All of you! Pierce your ears!"
With that, he slapped himself twice, shattering his eardrums on the spot to block out external sounds!
Seeing this, the Star Brilliance army didn't hesitate, all becoming deaf little people!
Otherwise, if more debuff icons appeared above their heads, they wouldn't even need to fight—dragged down by all sorts of negative effects, they might as well die on the spot!
But Wang Youzhi, full of energy, was still shouting over there!
Σ(((＞(¯͒ꇴ¯͒˵) "Give up resistance! You're all dying here today anyway! Don't you want your wives running off with others, your kids taking someone else's surname? What's the point?"
"Think forming an alliance helps? You're just trash races rejected because you're too garbage to find a strong leg to hug! Trash × Trash = Trash²! Even more trash!"
"Fighting as cannon fodder with such enthusiasm? I'm impressed, but in the end, you'll still be taken out by us! Your deaths are completely worthless!"
"Hard work doesn't guarantee success! But not working sure makes life comfortable! Listen to me, lying flat now isn't too late!"
Wang Youzhi's trash talk echoed across the starry sky, so loud it drowned out even the battle cries!
Even though the entire Star Brilliance army had turned deaf, the insults still echoed clearly in their minds!
Tian Guang clutched his head, eyes wild, pupils losing all light!
୧(‧̣̥̇ཀYiཀ)୨ "Stop talking! Damn it, stop talking already! Why can I still hear?!"
The War Horn's forced listening wasn't a joke!
Above the Star Brilliance Corps, debuffs like Sadness, Inferiority, Sorrow, and Lying Flat kept piling on!
In no time, springs appeared above their heads too!
They were no match for the Carbon Alliance to begin with, hoping to stall for time—now they were even more screwed!
Not only had their morale taken a massive hit, but all their stats were slashed too!
The terrifyingly vast Star Brilliance army was directly routed by the unstoppable bald army!
They couldn't even serve as a roadblock, the front line collapsing completely!
Wang Youzhi shook his head with a smirk at Jiangnan.
Jiangnan grinned and clapped his hands lightly.
(｡≖↼≖ิ) "Not bad, you've got one percent of my skill. Keep training hard, study Xinhua Dictionary diligently, every day without a straw, open the cap and lick three hundred yogurt cups clean, then use your tongue to tie a hundred Chinese knots!"
"Practice diligently, and the next mouth king will be you!"
Wang Youzhi's mouth twitched. I've already exceeded expectations, and that's only one percent of your skill?
That one percent of yours might be a bit big, huh?
(￢Yi￢٥) "Alright... I'll work on it. But does that training method actually work?"
Jiangnan: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Trust me, it's foolproof. Even if you don't master the divine skill, you'll excel in other areas."
Qian Benying blushed. I spit! Don't listen to that bastard Jiangnan! This method might not make you a mouth king, but it'll definitely make you popular with rich ladies!
Xia Yao stared at Jiangnan with bright eyes.
(*⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈)❤
Nan, even you can pull off such high-difficulty feats? Future life would be so blissful!
Not long after the battle started, the Star Brilliance army, loaded with negative debuffs, was already on the verge of collapse!
If this continued, not to mention stalling, the Golden Giants carrying the bases wouldn't get far!
Wuxiang gritted his teeth, raising his voice:
٩(´-Yi-`；) "Jiangnan! Let's talk! How about a truce? We'll give you half of our base planets!"
"Let us off! That way you save time and energy to harvest other races! Good for everyone!"
War isn't just about brute force—there are many options. When you truly see no hope, retreating is sometimes a choice!
Jiangnan: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Ha?"
Wuxiang: !!!
(⇀﹏↼‶) "Two thirds! Give you two thirds, okay? That's our biggest concession! Think about it!"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔～◔ิ) "Only two thirds? What's that good for? We have over two thousand starving races here. Want to negotiate? Show sincerity!"
Ruozhi panicked: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "All of it! We'll give you everything! Just leave us the base planet with the race beacon!"
Shiyu was furious: (ꐦ･ˇ口ˇ･) "What treasonous words are you speaking? Give him everything? Then what's the point of fighting?"
Ruozhi glared: (‧̣̥̇ŏYiŏ) "If we don't, they'll beat us until we're nothing! Keeping the race beacon at least gives us a chance!"
"Otherwise we're all out! And that's Jiangnan!"
Shiyu gritted her teeth and could only bow her head in defeat.
Wuxiang barely suppressed his rage: "Jiangnan! This is the biggest chip we can offer!"
"Yes or no, give us a straight answer! Don't push us too far. Let us off, and everything is yours. Kill us, and you get nothing!"
"If you force us, I'll have them destroy all base planets, and you'll come up empty-handed!"
Jiangnan's eyes widened, immediately grabbing the War Horn and roaring:
(｡･ˇ◠ˇ･)☛ "Confused!!!"
"If we kill you, everything is still ours! You want to destroy them? Go ahead! What are the Apocalypse race for?"
"Even if you blow the base planets to dust, they can repair them!"
Du Lingyu: (•́ω•̀٥)
We're the fourth sequence, not repairmen!
Wuxiang nearly choked on his breath!
"So no deal? Fine! Good wine for a feast you refuse? Then see the resolve of our Star Brilliance Alliance!"
"Let's see who can outlast whom—whether you can afford the time or we can withstand the punishment!"
"Notify the rear! Reinforcements! Send as many as it takes!"
Even if it meant trading lives, they would fight the Carbon Alliance to the death!
The gamble was that they couldn't afford to sink too much time into Star Brilliance—the more time spent here, the bigger the gap between Carbon Alliance and other giants!
If they couldn't stand it, Carbon Alliance would naturally turn their attention elsewhere!
Though this would cause massive losses, races with huge populations developed over tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years could afford it!
That was the most troublesome part of the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle—even small, low-ranked races could drag out the war by continuously reinforcing.
A series of Star Gates opened, and a massive army waiting in the staging area surged in, directly joining the battle!
They filled the gaps in the line about to be broken by Carbon Alliance!
Jiangnan sneered: "Reinforcing? If you still care about your own people, you'd better not do that."
"And don't expect me to show mercy. I'm not a good person!"
On the battlefield, there's no right or wrong, only victory, defeat, life, and death.
Compassion is fine, but this isn't the time for it!
Jiangnan made his move without even leaving the Crystal Stage!
He tossed a Small Fire Jar at warp speed into the enemy formation!
It exploded, releasing a vast surge of colorful energy spanning several light-years!
Then came a 2D blade shot at warp speed!
A multicolored 2D flower bloomed, heralding despair and death!
It dispersed into countless 2D blades, reaping lives across the battlefield!
Meanwhile, the Insect race, Dark Cosmos Entity, and Apocalypse race kept up their bombardment, fueling the Hundred Ripples and Thousand Edges!
The battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse!
The moment Jiangnan truly struck, the Star Brilliance army felt real despair!
He was too strong!
Strong enough to tip the balance of the Sea of Star Embers!
No army could suppress such combat power—numbers meant nothing!
Even stalling him for a moment was a luxury!
Moreover, the hundreds of bases being carried away by Golden Giants were also being blocked by Carbon Alliance!
Large forces transferred through the Dimensional Gap!
Yakeli led the Star Chaos Army, along with Xiao Chuihuo and others, assaulting and dismantling the alliance's bases!
Under absolute suppression, even though Star Brilliance frantically reinforced and defended, their defenses were ruthlessly torn open!
The Carbon Alliance's bald army pushed straight into the core of the bases!
Yakeli was about to extinguish the race beacon, completely cutting off Star Brilliance's qualification!
But Jiangnan quickly stopped him: (٥ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey! Don't extinguish it! That's wasteful!"
"We're the Carbon Alliance—peaceful people! How could we do something so sinister as eliminating other races?"
"Hurry! Send their base planets and race beacons into my bag!"
Hearing Jiangnan's transmission, Yakeli and Xiao Chuihuo's mouths twitched?
Peaceful? You mean nuclear peace?
They just beat Star Brilliance to a pulp and tore apart their bases!
Yeah, we're really nuclear-peaceful!
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "If we don't destroy the beacons, they'll keep reinforcing and harassing us! We'll fall behind schedule!"
Yang Jian nodded: (◦͡°～͡°) "Hesitation leads to disaster. If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. No need to hesitate—just destroy them!"
"If we were in the same situation, they wouldn't hesitate to destroy us!"
But Jiangnan was frantic: (งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง "Wasteful! This is so wasteful! Don't destroy them! I'll fight anyone who does!"
"We're here to fight, not to burn money!"
Yang Jian: (•́_•̀٥) "Uh..."
