Chapter 2855: You All Know the Rules, Right?
The moment those words were spoken, the starry sky seemed deathly silent!
All the Star Devourers stared with wide eyes, their shoulders trembling uncontrollably!
In that instant, they almost recalled every sorrowful thing they'd experienced from birth to today!
Odin had nearly pinched his thigh purple, while Xiao Chuihuo looked at Jiang Fan with a gratified expression.
(｡⁼̴┏‿┓⁼̴)
Good, this is good!
I am not alone in the Dao!
Jiangnan: (´థжథ) Pfft～
No, I have to hold it in. Brother Fan doesn't want to lose face, right?
But... but forgive me, I really can't help it!
Jiang Fan's image as the calm, unruffled Era Lord, combined with that honeyed falsetto, as he issued his threat—
It had absolutely zero deterrent effect, okay?
How is this a threat?
It's clearly like acting cute!
Why did the Strongman Pill's side effects have to kick in at this exact moment?
Jiang Fan's expression froze, his face turning black. He couldn't help but turn his head, glaring at Jiangnan with a face full of grievance.
(￢┏～┓￢٥)
Jiangnan immediately stood at attention, raised his hands in surrender, and shook his head like a rattle-drum.
ฅ(ﾟ┏﹏┓ﾟ٥≡٥ﾟ┏﹏┓ﾟ)ฅ
"It wasn't baby who did it! Brother Fan insisted on eating them himself. Don't blame me, okay～"
The honeyed falsetto came out—clearly Jiangnan's side effects had also kicked in!
But Jiangnan didn't care!
Maybe Jiang Fan was strong, but there was one thing Jiangnan definitely had over Jiang Fan!
That was Jiangnan's shamelessness—he didn't even know what "face" meant!
☚(꒪︶꒪∗) "Hehehe～ Hehehehe～"
Just as everyone was struggling to hold it in, Xiao Liyu pointed at Jiang Fan and giggled foolishly!
The guileless laughter was so out of place!
But as everyone knows, laughter is contagious. All the Star Devourers looked like they were about to lose it!
Youming kept nudging Xiao Liyu.
Don't laugh anymore! Will you stop laughing already?
Read the room, will you?
Xiao Liyu wasn't having it. Why do you keep poking me?
With a single electric punch, she sent Youming flying and laughed even louder!
Jiang Fan's face darkened even further. He raised his hand and grasped a starlight sword, a terrifying expression on his face.
If he killed all the witnesses, no one would remember what just happened, right?
Jiang Fan swept his gaze over everyone present.
But the Star Devourers broke out in cold sweat and immediately suppressed their laughter!
Damn! Did he seriously just think about offing everyone?
Jiang Fan even glanced at the two big-eyed watchers who had come for the gossip and nearly had their eyes burned out.
Mm, those two would have to be counted too...
The two Peepers shuddered, quickly closed their books, and left, moving with incredible speed!
Even the spectators had fled!
Just then, an untimely laugh rang out from the field.
(#థꇴథ)σ "Ah hahaha—are you done for? Fan Fan? The threat you just made has zero intimidation, you know～"
"Are you acting cute with me? Even so, I won't let you off!"
"Kneeling would be more like it!"
Xun Zu laughed heartily from within the Eternal World!
But at that moment, Jiang Fan's entire aura changed. Veins bulged on his forehead!
His eyes were sharp, and strands of tangible killing intent seeped into the void!
He was about to speak, but seemed to remember something!
The dim Time Star above his head lit up, starlight enveloping Jiang Fan, adjusting the time flow in his area, accelerating it!
In an instant, Jiang Fan's stubble fell off, and the side effects of the Strongman Pill vanished!
Clearly, he had exploited a bug in this way.
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
(≖_≖ꐦ) "I will kill you! I will cut you down myself, whether or not you break the shackles of the God Burial!"
"Remember what I said! Because in the future, it will become an indisputable fact!"
Jiangnan covered his face. Xun Zu had a death wish, didn't he?
Why did you have to provoke him?
Now you're on his radar, aren't you?
But wait—the side effects of the Strongman Pill could be bypassed by accelerating time?
That actually works?
Jiangnan immediately ran over to Mila and winked at her.
Mila knew exactly what Jiangnan meant.
She used her Beyond Time Domain to accelerate time in Jiangnan's area until the Strongman Pill's side effects wore off.
Once the side effects passed, Jiangnan perked up again.
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Look at the sorry state you're in after we beat you. And you still have the nerve to talk tough? What a joke!"
"Qing Jie was beaten to death. It'll be the same for you. Master and pet—both destined to get pummeled!"
"Ha! Pfft! You're nothing!"
Xun Zu was so angry his eyes bulged:
(ꐦ͡ʘ益ʘ͡) "Just you wait! A mere God Burial shackle cannot bind me. In the end, it will only become nourishment for my Eternal World!"
"Humph! Let's go!"
With that, he drove the massive Eternal World, pushing aside the rules of the Starry Sky World, heading straight toward the Bose Star Domain!
The scene was spectacular—a whole world moving, causing a violent roar in the starry sky as it passed!
Jiangnan waved:
(〃ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey! Leaving already? Your home is gone. Where are you going? What for? Why not stay here?"
"Don't worry! We won't laugh at you! Ah hahaha—"
[From Xun Zu: Resentment +1011!]
[From Xun Zu...]
The Eternal World trembled. Xun Zu staggered, coughed violently, and fled without looking back!
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he'd be pissed to death!
Could he be any more sarcastic?
Seeing this, the Star Devourers breathed a sigh of relief. Xun Zu had withdrawn, so this round was over for now.
But a shadow still hung over everyone's hearts.
It was only a temporary reprieve. If they couldn't come up with a plan before Xun Zu refined the God Burial, the outcome wouldn't change.
Jiangnan turned to look at the Prime Mechanism:
(￢̫￢) "Yo—I didn't expect the Silicon-Based to have such a big toy hidden away!"
"Speaking of which, now that you have the Prime Mechanism, the other Giant God Soldiers are useless, right? As for these remaining nine, they were saved thanks to me and Brother Fan."
"Besides, without Little Mila, they'd have been dismantled. Since they're useless now, why not give them all to me as a thank-you gift? I'll take a loss—just round it up to ten!"
Prime Mechanism: [┐▼皿▼┌]!!!
I've already given you nine, and I still have to throw in another? Might as well give myself to you!
You call that a loss? Why the hell should I give them to you?
Without the Prime Mechanism's support, could you have gotten out?
The Prime Mechanism snorted coldly:
[┐￢_￢┌] "Take care, everyone. Next time we meet, we may no longer be on the same side!"
"Let's go!"
The Prime Mechanism left with the remaining nine Giant God Soldiers.
Jiangnan then turned to look at Wanxiang, his expression full of emotion.
(⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴O) "Ah, my my—I never expected that Wanxiang Star to be so strong! My apologies, my apologies!"
"Come to think of it, I even took a dump on you back then. I never thought we'd meet again like this. What a... hahaha!"
Wanxiang's face darkened. Who the hell is "took a dump on me"?
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)̄
Plenty of people have taken dumps on me. Who are you?
You didn't just take a dump—you nearly dismantled my Thousand Stars City, pushed me around with a planetary engine playing billiards, and even threatened me with a Two-Dimensional Fragment!
Back then, that fragment was just a few millimeters from Wanxiang's surface. Wanxiang trembled in fear and almost couldn't hold back from awakening!
But he made it through—only to be forced out by that bastard Xun Zu!
And Jiang Fan wasn't any better!
Wanxiang said irritably:
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿ꐦ)̄ "Don't mess with the Matter Alliance, and we can coexist peacefully!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! The Matter Alliance is no longer without backing, to be bullied by anyone!"
"Let's go!"
After making his threat and going through the motions, Wanxiang was about to call the Matter Alliance's Star Devourers to leave.
After all, there was a mess at home to clean up, and figuring out how to deal with the coming starry sky war was another problem.
But Wanxiang had already taken several steps, and none of the Matter Alliance's Star Devourers moved!
Wanxiang felt a bit embarrassed.
(￢益￢ꐦ) "Why isn't anyone leaving? Planning to spawn here?"
Mailiushi said sheepishly:
⍣⃝٥ "Ancestor, Ancestor～ You go ahead first. We'll come in a bit—just a bit～"
Wanxiang shuddered at the saccharine falsetto.
(︶益︶ꐦ) "I don't have such unmanly, effeminate descendants!"
He shot a disgusted look at Mailiushi and the others, then turned and left.
The Star Devourers' faces darkened. They turned their hopeful gazes toward Little Mila!
After all, who would want to sound so girly if they could speak normally?
Chen Mu said:
꒰ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷᷄┏～┓ᵒ̴̶̷᷅꒱ "Little Mila darling～ Could you... could you help us exploit a bug too～?"
Mila looked at the crowd of Star Devourers staring at her with almost pleading eyes, and was momentarily at a loss.
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. Opportunity was knocking!
But before Jiangnan could speak, Lan had already come to Mila's side and whispered in her ear.
As they whispered, Lan kept glancing at the Star Devourer big shots.
(ﾉ)◔3◔ิ(º△º*)
Mila first opened her mouth wide, then showed a look of understanding, and finally nodded frantically!
She put her hands on her hips:
(˵¯͒◠¯͒˵) "It's not impossible for me, Little Mila darling, to help you guys exploit away the Strongman side effects, but... you all know the rules, right?"
"After all, using my Beyond Time Domain is very tiring. I can't help for free."
The Star Devourers' faces darkened. Rules? What rules?
Wasn't it just paying up?
"Tiring" my ass! You helped Jiangnan exploit a bug just fine!
Sure enough, raised by Jiangnan—clearly not a good kid!
That Lan must have come up with this idea!
She's not a good person either!
Jiangnan was delighted, his face full of relief.
Lan had really grown up. At such a young age, she was already scamming money out of Star Devourer big shots!
Ryūtetsu said reluctantly:
(￢┏益┓￢٥) "We... we were comrades in arms, you know? Can't you let it slide for the sake of sharing hardships..."
Mila said matter-of-factly: (◦`~´◦) "What comrades in arms? It was all Jiangnan Gege and Jiang Fan Gege doing the fighting. You guys did fight, but you were just window dressing!"
"If you don't pay up, I won't help. You're going back to hold war councils and give orders to your subordinates, right? Then go ahead and use your Strongman falsetto for them! Hmph!"
At this, the Matter Alliance's Star Devourers were completely defeated.
(̿▀̿┏﹏┓▀̿̿٥)̄ "How... how much money? Can you give us a discount? Our homes are all destroyed. It's really tragic, please～"
Lan cleared her throat twice:
(๑͡°ก͡°) "Quick, come to me to pay up! Negotiate with me!"
