Radiance wanted to capture hostages to force Black Star to unseal the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter.
As expected, as soon as this was said, the expressions of Sagman and the others changed. Their gazes toward Radiance were filled with hostility and alertness.
They did not doubt Kasuyi's judgment at all, not only because he was the leader of this operation, but also because his guess did make some sense.
The people of the Arcane Church were already prejudiced against the Radiant Federation. If not for Radiance betraying them during the Battle of Planet Lighthouse, Ethereal would not have lost Ninjia and the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. Now that Kasuyi said that Radiance wanted to capture hostages, Sagman and the others recalled Radiance's style of doing things and felt that this was something Radiance would do.
Ethereal and Radiance had been arguing for too long regarding the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. The reason they could endure was because they knew that the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was sealed, and Radiance could not use it or study it. This was why they could tolerate the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter being temporarily occupied by Radiance.
However, if the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was unsealed, Ethereal would definitely not be able to sit still.
Compared to Hella's life, the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was obviously more important. Radiance could not be allowed to succeed.
Of course, this was not something Kasuyi had guessed. It was also something the Mecha Empire had told him.
Although Radiance was the old boss of the Mecha Empire, from Manison's plan, he naturally did not wish for a weapon like the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter to be used by any civilization. In his eyes, the seal was the best outcome.
"In that case, let's talk with our fists."
Sierron's face turned cold, and his aura exploded. Powerful Pugilist flames gushed out, and his voice reverberated like thunder.
"The few of you, go and deal with Hella first. I'll deal with Kasuyi. He's just a doppelganger. I'll go and support you guys after I destroy him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his fist and shot out a powerful External Energy Fluctuation that was blazing, brutal, dazzling, and resplendent like the sun.
Just like his nickname, the Star Crusher, his martial arts style was known for crushing his opponents head-on.
As a pinnacle Beyond Grade A Pugilist, Gorután's style was violent and ferocious. On the other hand, Sierron's style was unstoppable. Compared to Gorután, Sierron's style was more upright and forceful. It wasn't the kind of fearsome ferocity. Instead, it was like the rotation of the stars and the overturning of the world, with an irreversible feeling.
Not to be outdone, Kasuyi also burst forth with a powerful psychic power to meet the attack head-on.
Rumble
When the two collided, it was as if heaven and earth were falling apart.
A blinding light suddenly lit up, and the world seemed to have turned into a vast expanse of white.
Bang bang bang bang
Sierron and Kasuyi exchanged blows, and then it was as if they turned into two intertwined phantoms. Their Pugilist flames and Void Psychic power clashed thousands of times in an instant, creating shockwaves that rose into the sky and opened up another battlefield outside the atmosphere.
At the same time, Radiance's group of five ignored Sierron and quickly descended, facing Sagman's group of five from afar. Han Xiao's Lord's Avatar stood on the side with Hella.
The forces on the battlefield became three sides, forming a triangular situation.
The atmosphere was on the verge of exploding, and it could turn into a fierce battle at any time.
"Are these the five that came?"
Han Xiao sized up Radiance's lineup and nodded.
He knew the combat strength of these people very well. Not only did he remember their performance in his previous life, but he also remembered the detailed information he had gathered during the Meeting of the Gods.
The five people from Radiance before him were basically all mid-level combatants. The strongest among them should be Crystal Soul, who had a Universal Treasure called 'Star Power Crown'. His position was similar to Ethereal's Sagman, so he could be considered a mid-upper level combatant. The weakest was Hades, who had joined not long ago. His combat strength was only at the level of Tolaen.
The more noteworthy one was Mornisa. Han Xiao remembered that she was a former student of the Mecha Empire. Before she became famous, she followed the Mecha Empire to learn about machinery. Later on, she stepped into the Beyond Grade A field. He did not know if she was an actress now.
Just as Han Xiao was thinking, on the other side, Sagman's group of five was in a dilemma. They did not know whether to fight Hella or Radiance's group of five first.
If they fought Hella first, Radiance's group of five would interfere from the side. If they were not careful, Radiance might even succeed.
However, if they fought Radiance first, although their priority was higher, they felt that it would be very silly to leave Hella, who was halfway through the fight, and help her fight others.
The Ethereal faction's group was in a dilemma.
At this time, Hades from Radiance suddenly spoke in the wide area channel.
"The five of you from the Arcane Church, although we have different goals, we can't come here for nothing. If you fight us instead, we'll all become the joke of the universe. Why don't we get rid of Black Star's Lord's Avatar first, then beat Hella until she can't fight back and control the situation. Then, we can discuss how to deal with her."
In Hades' view, Sierron would definitely be able to take care of Kasuyi's avatar. As long as they got rid of Black Star's Lord's Avatar as well, they would have Sierron, and Ethereal would lose their strongest link. Then, they would be able to control the situation and take Hella away.
Hearing this, Sagman was a little hesitant. He raised his head and looked at Kasuyi, who was passionately fighting with the brilliance without saying anything, then looked at the Black Star clone and Hila who were watching the show from the side. He made up his mind and nodded.
"Okay, take down Hella first."
At this moment, he made a decision and did not intend to listen to Kasuyi's order.
Just as Hades said, he felt that it would be a little silly to help Hella when he was still fighting, and he would easily become the joke of the universe.
On one hand, Sagman and Kasuyi had different views, and he did not want to come here for nothing, so he wanted to take a gamble. If he could take the opportunity to kill Hella while working with Radiance, he would still destroy Radiance's plan and kill the hostage. Then, he would never have to worry about being caught by the enemy. It was perfect.
On the other hand, it was a personal grudge. The feeling of being trapped in the Spacetime Amber was not good, and he still remembered it clearly. He felt deeply ashamed and wanted to give Black Star a good beating. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to give up the opportunity to kill Hella and make Black Star feel heartache.
Hella had shown a strange recovery ability earlier, so they were not suitable for a long battle. If the ten Beyond Grade As worked together, their explosive power would suppress Hella's recovery ability to a certain extent. Therefore, Sagman was prepared to find a chance to kill Hella while the two sides worked together.
He knew that both sides had their own ulterior motives, and even if they worked together, they would restrict each other openly and secretly. However, he had the confidence to create an opportunity to kill someone under Radiance's nose, and that was the few powerful forbidden spell scrolls that he had not used yet.
After a few words, both sides barely reached a consensus. The next second, the ten Beyond Grade As of Radiance and Ethereal all turned around and looked at Hella with unfriendly gazes.
A terrifying oppressive feeling came crashing down like an avalanche.
Hella's face could not help but turn pale, but her expression was still indifferent.
At this time, a broad mechanical back moved in front of her, blocking all the hostile gazes and all the pressure.
"Don't worry, I'm by your side."
Han Xiao's laughter sounded in her ears.
Hella was a little dazed.
It was this familiar scene again. It was as if the back that protected her every time had overlapped at this moment. She could not calm her emotions.
"Black Star."
"What?"
"When will your main body arrive?"
Han Xiao turned to look at her and said with a meaningful tone.
"No rush, let me fly for a while."
In the main hall of Beast Ancestor's stronghold, Gorután was drinking wine while chatting with Sorokin's manifestation, waiting for good news.
After waiting for a while, Sorokin put down his cup and asked.
"Your Excellency Beast Ancestor, where are the troops you sent out?"
"What's the rush? Are you worried about my subordinates' abilities?" Gorután was impatient.
He had tasted Sorokin's silver tongue and was convinced. As long as he did not personally take the risk, Gorután was more than happy to add insult to injury for Hella.
Not long ago, he had already issued an order for some officers to bring a fleet to destroy the surrounding stargate stations in an attempt to cut off the dynasty's reinforcements so that they would not be able to arrive in time and ensure that Hella would not receive any reinforcements.
"It's better to ask. If the dynasty's reinforcements arrive, the nature of the matter will worsen again. Killing a Beyond Grade A under the Black Star Corps who has not joined the dynasty will not be a problem as long as we can end the battle quickly. If we have to fight the dynasty's troops head-on, Ethereal and Radiance might not be willing," Sorokin advised.
"Tsk, you have so many tricks up your sleeve."
Gorután put down his cup with an impatient expression, took out his communicator, and contacted his officers. "Where are you? Have you arrived at the stargate station?"
"Fa-father …" The officers on the screen were trembling. "We were intercepted."
"Hmm …" Gorután's expression changed. "Who dares intercept my men?"
"It's the Mecha Empire's mechanical army, led by their Apostle Weapons. We can't beat them."
Whoosh!
Gorutan suddenly stood up and knocked over his wine cup, spilling wine all over the floor. His expression was one of bewilderment.
"Why is he intercepting my men for no reason?"
They were both peak Beyond Grade As, so Gorután was not afraid of Manison. It was just that their Classes were different, and he was not willing to provoke the Mecha Empire, which had many soldiers. Furthermore, the other party had intercepted his men without any warning. No matter how he looked at it, it was not a friendly signal.
Sorokin was also a little surprised. He tapped the table lightly and suddenly had a plan.
"I've roughly guessed it. From the attitude of the Mecha Empire during the Meeting of the Gods, they definitely do not support the operation against Hella. They probably have already taken precautions. Since you were the one who first released the news, it can be said that this matter started because of you. Thus, the Mecha Empire had their eyes on you long ago. Now that they have taken action, it should be to stop you from destroying the stargate."
Thinking of this, Sorokin could not help but frown. He felt a headache coming on.
With the Mecha Empire also involved in this matter, there were many variables out of nowhere. He originally thought that the operation against Radiance or Ethereal was in the bag, but now, he felt a little uncertain.
Sorokin had also known the Mecha Empire for a long time. He knew that this guy was also an old fox. Once Manison decided to intervene, it would definitely not be a small matter. He would only target Gorután's troops. Therefore, if he guessed correctly, the Mecha Empire probably had other arrangements.
"I originally thought that he was just going to watch from the sidelines. I didn't expect him to secretly stop the operation of his ally, Radiance. He's really bold. Then, I'm afraid that this operation will succeed."
Sorokin could not help but hesitate. Among the hundreds of Beyond Grade As in the universe, only a few had the qualifications to make him wary. The Mecha Empire was one of them.
While he was thinking, Gorután directly contacted the Mecha Empire and questioned.
"Manison, what are you trying to do by intercepting my men?"
Manison's face appeared on the screen. "Did you forget our agreement during the Meeting of the Gods?"
"Hella reduced my lifespan and killed many of my subordinates. You want me to just let it go?" Gorután said coldly. "Do you think that I, a peak Beyond Grade A, can't be compared to Hella? You don't want others to offend Black Star, but aren't you afraid of offending me?"
"Because of you, she's already in danger. I hope that you won't pursue this matter. If she really dies, you won't have a good ending either." Manison shook his head.
"Humph, you said that Black Star will take revenge, right? Do you think that I'm afraid of him? Remember, he's the one who provoked me. If he wants to play, he'll play with me to the end. Alright, let's see if he can afford to play now. I'll get rid of his right-hand men and teach him a lesson," Gorután said coldly.
As the saying went, the more one thought about it, the angrier one would be. Every time he thought about how he had suffered such a huge loss and was even insulted by Black Star in front of him, he would become angrier.
"I hope that you'll think about the big picture," Manison said with a deep voice.
"I'm not the one who's going to make a move. Plus, that's your big picture, not mine." Gorután scoffed and said coldly, "I'm giving you face by playing with you. This is between me and Black Star, and it has nothing to do with you. Why are you trying to persuade me? Do you really think that you're the leader of the Beyond Grade As and have the right to interfere in my business? Let me tell you, don't be so shameless."
Manison narrowed his eyes, looked at him deeply, and hung up.
Gorután snorted angrily, crushed the communicator, threw it aside, and walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Sorokin hurriedly asked.
"Humph, the Mecha Empire intercepted my people. I can't just sit here and wait for them to release them. I'm going to bring them back now. If I have time, I'll destroy a few stargate stations." Gorután walked straight out.
On the frontline battlefield of the Black Star Corps stronghold, the battle had been going on for quite a while, and the situation had completely turned into a three-way battle.
After the Radiant Federation fleet and Mornisa's mechanical army entered the battle, they once again tied down the defense fleet of the stronghold. The two sides fought around the planet, and the light of the cannons flashed continuously. The scene could be considered a galactic war.
Sierron and Kasuyi's doppelgänger were still fighting. Kasuyi was a little too strong, and with his bottomless amount of mana, his doppelgänger was able to fight back and forth with Sierron for the time being. At the same time, he purposely separated the battlefield.
This Void Movie King was actually helping Han Xiao tie down the strongest part of the Radiance fleet. This way, the balance of power was balanced, which was a great help.
Han Xiao was secretly glad about this. If both of them were targeting Hella, the situation would have been very dangerous. In that case, he would have had no choice but to carry out the final plan.
However, even if there were actors on the other side, the situation on Hella's side was very serious. Radiance and Ethereal had a total of ten Beyond Grade As, and their attacks were overwhelming and terrifying.
After successfully connecting with Aurora, the super healer, Hella had no way of fighting back at all. This had nothing to do with her recovery ability anymore; it was a complete suppression. No matter how many times she recovered, she would be crippled. If not for the fact that she could absorb Aurora's life energy, Hella's revival ability would have been activated long ago.
Furthermore, Han Xiao did not care about the losses and took away part of the pressure.
With so many Beyond Grade As working together, the power was naturally not as simple as one plus one. Han Xiao's mechanical army was blown up countless times, and it was close to the upper limit of his Waste Modification ability. If this continued, he would not be able to recover.
'Mechanical Catastrophe' Francisco had set up a layer of space stabilization anchors and wormhole disruptors. After the Radiant Federation fleet arrived, they set up a second layer, causing the space in this area to be too stable. Han Xiao could not open the Dimension Factory and secondary dimensional army boxes, so he could not summon any subordinates. The only thing he could use was the troops in the stronghold. Therefore, he could only use Virtual Intrusion to deal with the space stabilization devices first.
However, Radiance and Ethereal both had this trick up their sleeves, especially Radiance. Not only did they have Mornisa, but they also had a Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic to provide long-range assistance to guard the main artificial intelligence. The Virtual Defense line was like wearing a chastity belt, flawless and impenetrable.
If the mechanical army was destroyed, just one Lord's Avatar alone would not be able to deal with ten Beyond Grade As.
"Luckily, the other side is not united. Ethereal and Radiance are wary of each other, which more or less affects their combined strength. They can only use seventy to eighty percent of their strength at most," Han Xiao thought to himself.
He turned around and looked. Currently, he and Hella were separated. Not far away, countless attacks were being thrown at Hella. The situation was dangerous. Hella was taking a huge amount of damage every second, and the light of her life force did not disappear at all.
"Even a Calamity Grade like Aurora won't be able to handle such a huge consumption. It won't be long before she is exhausted by her sister."
Thinking of this, Han Xiaoxin calmed down.
At the same time, Sagman and the others surrounded Hella and gave instructions to their teammates.
"Later, when Radiance focuses their attacks on Hella, Taylor, use all those scrolls. Use some of them to block Radiance's people and don't let them interfere. Meanwhile, we will attack with all our strength and use the scrolls to finish off Hella before she recovers, shattering her soul."
"Got it."
Taylor nodded and prepared to use the scrolls at any time.
Just as everyone was concentrating, an incomparably huge energy source suddenly broke into the range of everyone's perception. It was rapidly approaching at an astonishing speed.
"Someone's coming again."
Everyone was shocked, pausing their actions, and hurriedly looked up.
They saw a stream of light flying over from afar, all of which were the exhaust flames of mechanical soldiers. It was a Mech Legion, and it was extremely large, at least ten times the size of all the Mechanics present combined.
At the very front was a figure wrapped in dark blue flames. Like a meteor, it headed straight for Hella's battlefield.
"Who is that? Could it be that it's here to support Hella?"
Sagman was shocked. He turned around and realized that Radiance's group of five also had the same confused expression.
Right at this moment, everyone suddenly saw Sierron, who was fighting in the sky, abandon his opponent and head straight for that rapidly approaching blue meteor, intending to intercept it and prevent it from meeting up with Hella.
Seeing the two figures collide, in the next moment, everyone present suddenly widened their eyes, almost not daring to believe the scene in front of them.
Boom!
A mist of blood exploded with a loud bang.
The one who was sent flying was Sierron. He was like a baseball that was hit by a bat. He spun and spun backward while spitting out blood. Along with him was a bloody severed arm.
Sierron had a total of four arms, and one of them was broken.
"What?"
Sagman, the Federation, and the others were shocked and could not believe their eyes.
Severely injuring Sierron in one hit? Where did this guy come from?
This time, this figure collided with Sierron and was also forced to stop in midair. The flames wrapped around him disappeared, revealing a figure that everyone recognized. He looked down at the ten Beyond Grade As surrounding Hella.
At this moment, except for Kasuyi, all the Beyond Grade As of the Federation and the Church were stunned. Their hearts were filled with shock, and they blurted out their names.
"Black Star!"
Why is it him?
Isn't his main body in the base? Why did he come to the battlefield?
Many of the Beyond Grade As present did not realize that just by seeing Han Xiao's main body arrive, their confidence in this operation was reduced by more than half.
Facing Han Xiao's Lord's Avatar, they still dared to bully him, but facing Han Xiao's main body, many of them immediately lost their courage. It was like they had only wanted to team up to kill an elite monster but suddenly met the final boss.
Han Xiao had a strong battle record, and he had already proven his strength as a peak Beyond Grade A Super. His prestige was earned through fighting.
Seeing Han Xiao arrive personally, everyone felt immense pressure and hesitated. Hella took this opportunity to escape the encirclement and fly to the side to catch her breath.
"Not good." Sagman's heart skipped a few times. He recalled the taste of the Spacetime Amber and shivered.
At this moment, facing everyone's gazes, Han Xiao slowly opened his mouth.
"I'm here."
He coldly glanced at all the Beyond Grade As who had extremely unnatural expressions. His tone was calm, but there was an oppressive majesty.
