Chapter 2699: On the Multiple Uses of Gangyu Star
This made Tianli Mingsha and the others so hateful!
Jiangnan wasn't just arrogant—he felt there was no challenge, so he didn't even stay at the battlefield and went back to cultivate? How could that be?
And he damn wanted to break through to Star Devourer?
Because of Jiangnan, the Sequence War had already been screwed up twice. They thought the final round would finally be rid of Jiangnan, but who knew he damn wanted to become a Star Devourer?
If he really did, how terrible would that be?
But judging by Jiangnan's cultivation speed, it was very possible, right?
Rum gritted his teeth:
(´-益-`ꐦ) "Damn it! There are still Bose warriors suffering in there. Is there really no way to deal with Jiangnan?"
Tianli squinted, his expression cold: "There will be an opportunity! Heaven, wanting one to perish, first makes them mad!"
"He will pay for his arrogance. Keep a close watch on the battlefield situation. Report immediately if anything happens!"
Thus, under the envious gazes of everyone, the Carbon Alliance held a victory celebration!
Jiangnan didn't lie—he really went back to the Dimensional Gap to cultivate.
After all, as long as Jiangnan was around, the pressure on the major powers was immense; where would they find the courage to cause trouble?
Beneath the joyful and happy atmosphere, the Thanos operation proceeded silently.
At this moment, drunk and tipsy, Bing Chacha, Samo, Boden, and the others, hiccuping with alcohol, staggered to the core storage area.
Each of them carried a giant strong-phase alloy cue stick on their shoulders.
Bing Chacha said with emotion:
(◕ˇꇴˇ◕) "I really miss the days when those Celestial Star Race balls were still around. We could play ball. If I'd known, I would have kept a batch."
Samo grinned: "Aren't there still base planets? We can play just the same!"
"Today, let me show you what real cue technique is!"
Boden's forehead burst with sweat:
(•́ω•̀٥) "Th-this... can we do this? If Nan Shen finds out we're playing pool with base planets, won't he beat us up?"
"Besides, can a base planet withstand being hit like this?"
The few of them looked up at the giant strong-phase alloy cue stick and all swallowed hard.
Samo grinned and said:
╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "What's there to be afraid of? If it breaks, isn't there the Apocalypse Race to repair it? Right, Wenge?"
Wenge's mouth twitched:
(´-﹏-`；) "You really know how to give me work! Go ahead and play! If it breaks, I'll cover for you."
Bing Chacha immediately set up six Styx whirlpools on the Stygian River. If they knocked a base planet into a hole, it counted as a score.
They immediately got busy, brought over a dozen base planets, and set them up.
At this moment, Gangyu was almost scared out of his wits!
(⚆益⚆‧̣̥̇) "Holy crap! Don't come over! What are you going to do with that big iron pillar?"
"Pool? What is pool?"
"It sounds like an activity that's not very friendly to balls, dammit!"
Samo rested his chin on his hand, his gaze shifting:
(｡･ˇกˇ･｡:) "Hmm～ need to find a sturdy planet to be the cue ball."
"Otherwise, if it breaks on the first shot, it won't be fun."
After scanning for a while, his gaze fell on a grayish-looking base planet.
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "Oh wow? This rocky planet is good—looks very sturdy. That's the one! Brother Chacha, move it out and set it up!"
Gangyu: ⍣⃝‧̣̥̇!!!
"This is just the worst luck in eight lifetimes!"
"With so many planets to choose from, why did you pick me? Are you doing this on purpose, damn it?"
Bing Chacha had already started carrying the planet. Gangyu's heart struggled wildly.
"What to do? Fight them?"
"I... I can't fight them either!"
At this moment, Gangyu could only pray silently. He didn't know what "cue ball" meant, and only hoped this was a ball-friendly sport that wouldn't expose him.
"As long as I can endure, I'll still be a good ball!"
In a blink, the base planets were arranged in the starry sky.
Samo spat, his eyes bulging, and roared:
٩(͡⚆益͡⚆)۶ "My turn!"
He grabbed the giant strong-phase alloy cue stick and charged toward the cue ball, shouting "Aaaah!" as he ran.
Gangyu was already scared stiff!
Before he could react, the strong-phase alloy cue stick had pierced through the atmosphere, creating intense friction and flames.
Like a pillar of heaven, it slammed hard into the surface of Gangyu Star.
The force was so great that it penetrated three percent into the planet.
Even as tough as Gangyu was, he couldn't withstand such a strike.
It triggered a massive earthquake, and the thin layer of molten crust on the surface shattered, revealing the sparkling main body of Gangyu Star.
He opened his mouth wide, couldn't hold back, and let out a miserable shriek, even louder than Tom Cat's scream, echoing across the entire Stygian River.
He finally understood why that ball was called the cue ball.
"So the cue ball is meant to be struck by the cue stick?"
"This activity is not friendly to balls at all!"
"Are humans really this demonic? Why did they invent such a brutal activity?"
"Did they ever consider the feelings of balls?"
▂▂▂(;´༎ຶ益༎ຶ`) "Wah～ I'm tainted!"
The other Celestial Star Race members hidden in the shadows were all shocked, unable to bear watching.
"They didn't expect Brother Gangyu to suffer such inhuman treatment. So brutal!"
But after that strike, Samo was dumbfounded.
Wide-eyed, he said in horror:
(๑ʘ̅дʘ̅๑)!!! "Gang... Gangyu? How are you..."
This letting go was not trivial—the cue stick was stuck in Gangyu Star's body. Couldn't pull it out!
This shot didn't hit the cue ball away; it was a direct hit!
Gangyu turned around, no longer caring about hiding his identity!
▂▂▂(งཀ益ཀ)ง "Aaaah! You bunch of demons! I will speak for all cue balls in the universe! I'll fight you to the death!"
As Gangyu Star turned, the cue stick stuck in the planet also rotated.
They didn't know that Celestial Star Race had front and back. If this side was the front, then the cue stick side would be...
"Sss～"
Everyone shivered intensely.
Then they all looked at Bing Chacha with teasing expressions.
Bing Chacha's face turned black.
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)̄ "Well, well, Gangyu Star, huh? Hiding pretty deep, aren't you?"
As he spoke, the Stygian River's water formed a giant hand, slapping down toward Gangyu Star with a sky-covering posture.
If it were just slapping the planet, that would be one thing, but the problem was that this hand directly slapped the cue stick!
Gangyu Star rolled his eyes violently.
▂▂(|||꒪ͦ◊꒪ͦ) "Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo～"
As the cue stick crashed into the Stygian River, splashing water everywhere.
This strike penetrated six percent into the planet.
Bing Chacha looked disgusted:
(︶益︶ꐦ) "Tsk, nearly ruined my lifelong reputation! How did the Underworld Legion do their job? Such a big oversight? Is this how they select?"
"We found it this time. If we hadn't, what if something went wrong?"
"Go! Thoroughly screen again! Don't let any star slip through the net!"
The Underworld Legion's faces were all green from the scolding. Who would have thought this could happen?
So one by one, they picked up cue sticks and planned to poke each planet to see if any Celestial Star Race members were hiding.
Now, those Celestial Star Race members who had luckily not been discovered couldn't hold back anymore.
One by one, they actively exposed themselves and ran out, preferring to be beaten rather than be cue balls.
Bing Chacha's face grew uglier—there were still this many hidden?
"Thank goodness we found them."
Samo comforted:
(๑ớ↼ờ)ھ "Don't be angry. At least we found them, right? Enough for a game of pool!"
They exchanged glances, and once again, demonic smiles appeared on their faces.
It must be said, with Qing Ke in charge, the Carbon Alliance's luck was truly good. This influence was silent.
"Playing a casual game of pool and discovering spy planets—how about that?"
Bing Chacha said angrily: "Don't get any ideas! Do you think being a planet can save you from opening a new one?"
"Today, you're definitely the cue ball!"
So he picked up the cue stick, lifted Gangyu Star out of the Stygian River, and was about to take a shot.
Gangyu Star looked utterly hopeless, but just then, Suo Na saw Gangyu Star and his eyes lit up.
(♫ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "No! A planet with such excellent qualities, wasted as a cue ball? Give it to me! The dance zone over there hasn't got the atmosphere going yet!"
"As the DJ controlling the scene, I can't ignore it! It's waiting for me to save it!"
Gangyu Star was filled with emotion. Seeing Suo Na was like seeing a family member.
▂▂(;´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`) "Dad! You're my real dad!"
"As long as I don't have to be the cue ball and suffer that, I'll do anything!"
Under Suo Na's strong insistence, Gangyu Star was eventually taken away.
Stygian River Dance Zone.
Suo Na immediately had people pull out the cue stick stuck in Gangyu Star.
Then he sent a group of bald-headed bug soldiers and nine-colored fireflies to fill the meteorite hole left by the cue stick.
The light from the bald heads and fireflies scattered through Gangyu Star's clear and transparent body, so dazzling that the entire Sea of Star Embers could see it.
On the spot, it transformed into a dazzling disco ball.
The entire Carbon Alliance position, under Gangyu Star's illumination, became a colorful and vibrant rave scene.
The atmosphere was immediately maxed out.
Suo Na directly started beatboxing.
(♫︶3︶)ᕤ "Puff click-clack, boom-thump boom-thump, 857 857, aooow～"
(￢益￢ꐦ) "What are you staring at? Spin faster! Keep up with my beat! Or I'll call Nan Shen to deal with you, y'know!"
Gangyu Star: -`(´థ益థ)´-!!!
"Aaaah! Let me go! Let me go back! This damn place is worse than being a cue ball!"
"I'm tainted! Completely tainted!"
"What the hell is a disco ball? This is absolutely shameful!"
"I've never suffered such humiliation in my life!"
"Isn't there a single non-demonic good person in the Carbon Alliance?"
Now, even the Immortal Kingdom, far away on the Angel battlefield fighting angels, noticed the light emitted by Gangyu.
"Hmm～ Gangyu... found him!"
"He became the disco ball for the Carbon Alliance's victory celebration, yo!"
With the disco ball's help, the atmosphere of the Carbon Alliance's celebration exploded.
And it was at this very moment.
The Carbon Alliance's mercenary business received a commission.
It came from the Wuzhong Alliance. It turned out that during this time, they had worked hard and tirelessly, even picking off Angel Race's leftovers.
They finally managed to scrape together quite a few base planets.
They wanted to use these planets to pay off debts, but were afraid of being robbed by the Silicon and Bose races on the way.
After all, the two races with nothing better to do were out hunting.
So they wanted to ask the Carbon Alliance to send someone to escort and safely deliver these base planets to the Carbon Alliance position.
Yang Jian's mouth curled into a slight smile. He told them to wait, and they would send people to escort them immediately.
