Chapter 2740: Battlefield Chess Match! Thrilling and Exciting!
Even though Silicon Lord had always been known for his calm and composed demeanor, at this moment, he was truly panicked!
The Ancestral Giant God Soldier's massive hand pointed directly at Jiangnan, with an Ultimate Star Weapon resting on its fingertip, seemingly ready to fire at Jiangnan at any moment!
The atmosphere in the arena instantly became extremely tense!
Everyone could see that Silicon Lord was anxious!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone so far as to bring the Giant God Soldier over!
Jiangnan tore open space with one hand, connecting to the Dimensional Gap, and even half of his body was already hiding inside!
His other hand was still gripping the Star Cage, left outside!
/¯͒ヮ¯͒˵) "Good grandson, what are you trying to do? This is the arena of the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle. If you make a move, you'll be breaking the rules, and Silicon Base's qualification will be directly revoked!"
Silicon Lord's eyes were bloodshot:
[┐ꐦ͡'Yi͡'] "Do you think I still care about some damn Sequence War at this point? It's just a game!"
"The Wisdom Sect Terminal is in human hands, right? Otherwise, the Wa Te Virus couldn't have evolved to such a height!"
"How much data is left in the Wisdom Sect Terminal? Everything from the Eternal Era is stored inside, isn't it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, stirring up a monstrous wave!
Qian Li's eyes widened in shock!
Noah, Benny, Mei, Chong Qian Jin, and the others all gasped, their faces filled with horror!
The Wisdom Sect Terminal? That was the other half of Silicon Base, containing everything from the Eternal Era, countless technological crystallizations!
Was it really in human hands?
They also felt a slight heat on their cheeks—damn! Could this be the reason they had been so determined to join the Carbon Alliance?
Ai Jiang was very considerate, immediately transmitting through brain-computer interface to restore the memories of those who had been slapped during the Carbon Alliance roundtable meeting back then!
The few people covered their faces, their expressions dark, but then they became excited again!
Their resolve to follow the Carbon Alliance was strengthened even more!
The appearance of the Wisdom Sect Terminal meant that even the Carbon Alliance now had the potential to possess ceiling-level power!
Jiangnan grinned, not pretending at all, and clapped his little hands with a smack!
(͡°↼͡°) "That's right! You guessed correctly, but there's no reward. The Wisdom Sect Terminal is indeed in human hands, but now it's called the Ai Jiang Terminal!"
"It's a pity that when we found it, the terminal was severely damaged, and not much data was left inside... truly a shame!"
Hearing Jiangnan personally admit it, the Starry Sky was in an uproar. Silicon Lord was already gritting his teeth!
Bullshit! Not much data left? How could that be? Who knows if Jiangnan was telling the truth or not?
Inside was everything from the Eternal Era!
[┐✧益✧] "My Silicon Base has searched for 2.2 billion years, scouring every corner of the Starry Sky without finding it. How did you find it? Where did you find it?"
Jiangnan shrugged:
ʅ(･´～･｀)ʃ "Are you really sure Silicon Base searched every corner? Did you look in the Ming He Star Domain? I found it in a fish's belly~"
Honest Jiangnan was truly straightforward, spilling everything out since there was no need to hide anymore at this point!
Silicon Lord: !!!
Damn it! A fish's belly? It was actually in a fish's belly?
Who could have thought of that? Even if they knew where the terminal was, Silicon Base probably couldn't take it out of the fish's belly, right?
But that didn't matter anymore!
As long as they could obtain the Wisdom Sect Terminal, Silicon Base would become complete, and all losses would be worth it!
[┐cao yi cao] "Damn it! Damn it all! So the setup before—accusing my Silicon Base of being the mastermind and hiring you to deal with the Bose Race—was also done by you through the Wisdom Sect Terminal, right?"
Jiangnan looked utterly helpless:
(≖～≖ꐦ) "Pfft! At a time like this, you're still trying to pin the shit on me? Even if I held the Wisdom Sect Terminal, I couldn't silently steal Silicon Base's base planet without a trace. You've already experienced the terminal's attack methods—it's just the Wa Te Virus!"
"I don't need to lie! If I did it, I did it. If I didn't, don't try to smear me!"
Jiangnan absolutely refused to take this blame!
Qian Li sneered. Trying to shift the blame for the Universe Seed onto humans? Too late!
Silicon Lord was furious. Still not admitting it? Did he think his big head couldn't outplay Jiangnan?
[ง┐◣益◢┌]ง "Jiang! Nan! You know very well how determined my Silicon Base is to obtain the Wisdom Sect Terminal! Silicon Base is willing to pay any price for it!"
"The Sequence War? Bullshit! I couldn't care less! I only want the Wisdom Sect Terminal, even if it means starting a Starry Sky war!"
"I'm asking you now! Will you give it or not? If not, then it won't just be humans—Silicon Base will declare war on all member races of the Carbon Alliance!"
"Let you all witness the true offensive power that Silicon Base has prepared for over two billion years!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the arena immediately tensed up. Many Carbon Alliance member races began to panic!
No need to think too hard—the Starry Sky situation had once again reached the brink of collapse. Just one step forward, and it would be a full-scale Starry Sky war!
Jiangnan snorted:
(ꐦ･ˇдˇ･) "I hate threats. How many times do I have to say this?"
Silicon Lord narrowed his eyes:
[┐‾᷄⁻‾᷅┌] "Then let me make it clear to you now: I am threatening you!"
"Make your people look up at the Starry Sky and see if they can still see the stars!"
At this moment, Silicon Base directly dispatched troops to the home star domains of all Carbon Alliance member races!
Countless super starship legions set out, war platforms, fortresses, planet-sized cannons, mechanical legions, multi-layered siege force fields!
Too many—so many that they obscured the brilliant starlight!
As for the core member races, they received special attention, with Giant God Soldiers and Ultimate Star Weapons present!
Outside the Milky Way Star Domain, countless Silicon Base legions pressed forward, with ultra-massive mechanical wormholes opening, from which huge cannon barrels emerged!
The oppressive force of the Giant God Soldiers was immense!
This was a complete numerical suppression. The total number of lifeforms in the entire human Galactic Star Domain was not even as many as the Silicon Base mechanical forces!
Even counting Chong Feiyu's insect swarm!
Even outside the Ming He Star Domain, which spanned eight million light-years, Silicon Base forces were stationed on standby!
All these races also entered their highest alert states!
Those races with Star-Devourer-level power emerged from their home star domains, while those without sent out race leaders and ancestral-level existences!
With just one order, the Starry Sky war would begin immediately, dragging over two thousand races directly into it, triggering the utterly chaotic final battle of the era!
At this moment, the leaders of the Carbon Alliance member races were panicking, frantically sending messages and constantly calling Jiangnan!
No one wanted to fight!
Once war started, the Carbon Alliance's losses would undoubtedly be severe. Countless people would die in the war!
Compared to this, the casualties from the Thousand Stars and Northern Crown disasters were just drops in the bucket!
Humans were undoubtedly bearing immense pressure!
Yet Jiangnan's expression remained leisurely, a smile on his face as he looked at the Ancestral Giant God Soldier!
Silicon Lord narrowed his eyes: [┐‾᷄ι_‾᷅┌] "Do you see clearly? When they look up at the Starry Sky, they don't see brilliant starlight—they see endless death!"
"And you, Jiangnan, just say one word 'no,' and death will descend upon every member race of the Carbon Alliance!"
At this moment, Noah, Manti, and the others also had cold expressions!
So it had finally come to this?
They knew very well that even if this war really broke out, causing countless casualties, the Carbon Alliance would have to endure it!
The Ai Jiang Terminal absolutely could not be handed over. Inside were the manufacturing methods of Ultimate Star Weapons and the foundation of technology!
It was the cornerstone of the Carbon Alliance becoming the third major power in the Starry Sky, the foundation for sailing through the Sea of Stars!
If you weren't ruthless, you couldn't stand firm!
They had to be ruthless not only to others but also to themselves!
Even if Jiangnan agreed to hand it over, Noah and the others wouldn't allow it!
On such major decisions affecting the situation, Noah and the others were exceptionally clear-headed!
Want to fight? The Carbon Alliance would see it through to the end!
Even if countless people died!
Even Doulang Jade, Insect Old Six, and the Ye sisters had their hearts in their throats!
Their gazes were icy cold!
Was war about to begin?
Silicon Lord squinted and said, "And all of this will cease once you hand over the terminal!"
"The Carbon Alliance will get the ranking boost it wants, no one will die! And Silicon Base will get what it wants!"
"Jiangnan! Don't be too greedy! Some things in your hands are simply not yours to keep!"
Jiangnan was still smiling: (ꐦ⁼̴◡⁼̴) "Are you done?"
"Want the Ai Jiang Terminal? Fine! I'm not stopping you! I'll tell you the truth—the Ai Jiang Terminal is currently placed in the void above the Lost Kingdom!"
"If you want it, just send someone to get it!"
"With your computing power, you must have already thought that the terminal would be placed in the Dimensional Gap, right?"
Silicon Lord narrowed his eyes. So it really was in the Dimensional Gap?
Black God waved his little hand at Silicon Lord!
☻۶ "Come on~ Don't be shy! I'm quite interested in these mechanical toys, mechas, figurines, and the like!"
"Especially this so-called Ancestral Giant God Soldier. It should be pretty fun to pilot, right?"
Silicon Lord's face darkened!
Go inside? Screw that!
Go in and give Black God toys and figurines?
Jiangnan sneered: (˵͡°_͡°) "Silicon Lord! I advise you to save your energy! Even if your Silicon Base is awesome and you destroy all the home star domains of my Carbon Alliance's two thousand races, you still have to face the core problem: the terminal is in the Dimensional Gap! Even if you kill everyone in the Carbon Alliance, you can't get it!"
"Because Silicon Base has no means to contend with Black God in the Dimensional Gap, including Ultimate Star Weapons!"
"As long as the terminal stays in the Dimensional Gap for one day, Silicon Base will never be able to get it! This chess game was already checkmating you from the very beginning!"
"Little brother!"
Silicon Lord narrowed his eyes: "This is indeed a problem that Silicon Base has to face!"
"But there is never only one way to solve a problem. As long as the goal is achieved, taking some detours is not unacceptable!"
"Jiangnan! Stop acting! The one who is checkmated is you!"
