His senses quickly spread out in a spherical shape, covering a larger and larger area. Very soon, Gaud discovered an obscure energy source floating right in front of the fleet, but he could not see it with his naked eye. It seemed to be using some kind of sensory blocking ability.
The moment he discovered the target, the other party revealed themselves. A figure suddenly appeared right in front of the fleet. His entire body was covered in a pitch black mechanical suit, so his identity could not be seen.
"Only one person … Hmm? This aura? "
Gaud's expression changed slightly. His Esper Ability was very sensitive to energy fluctuations, and he basically had a photographic memory. He realized that this attacker's aura was not unfamiliar to him, so he might have seen him before.
Because his radar was no longer working, he sensed his surroundings and realized that the space in this area was anchored. It was a common trap. His hyperdrive, flash, and other spatial abilities could not be used at all.
Furthermore, his senses could not continue spreading out after reaching a certain extent. It was as if there was a layer separating him from the outside world.
This time, the captain also discovered the attacker and quickly reacted. He yelled to the crew, "Find a way to reconnect to the network and report this to the dynasty. Also, pull out the smart chip immediately and switch to manual control mode. The leading ship is to retreat immediately!"
As soon as the order was given, the crew acted immediately. The personnel on duty in the main control room quickly went to the engine room to remove the smart chip and cancel the control authority of all the artificial intelligences of the spaceship. This was to prevent the spaceship from being controlled by the enemy, and they could only restart the paralyzed spaceship by manual control mode.
This dynasty fleet was only responsible for transporting Gaud, so it was only a small fleet. Although the performance of the dynasty's battleships was higher than most spaceships, this fleet was too small, and their combat ability was limited. They were not qualified to fight against a Beyond Grade A Super.
Most importantly, their communication was cut off, so they could not contact the outside world for help. The most important thing was to find a way to spread the news, so the captain did not want to fight to the death. This was written in the dynasty's tactical manual.
However, although his idea was good, the communication network was cut off, which caused the normal command system to be paralyzed. His orders could not be transmitted to the other posts immediately, and it would take some time to switch to the magic emergency command system. This difference in time was the difference between life and death.
Before the dynasty's fleet could do anything, countless dazzling golden electric arcs burst out from the attacker's body. Inside the electric arcs, the black bean-sized particles enlarged abruptly, turning into an overwhelming mechanical army that instantly filled everyone's vision!
Mechanical Force — Army Nest!
Compressed Orb Innovation — Martial Body!
The one who attacked Gaud was Han Xiao himself!
He purposely released the news to make the various organizations suspect each other. However, all his schemes had to be carried out in the end, and that was to kill Gaud as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time. The other organizations would not do anything; they would have to do it themselves.
Historical experience told him that the more links there were in a plan, the more unstable factors would multiply. Many schemes were not complicated at all, and there were not so many twists and turns. Therefore, there was no need to pursue fancy methods. The most important thing was to grasp the main contradiction in one go.
Now that the undercurrent was surging under the surface, there were many suspicious targets. Now that he had achieved his goal of fishing in troubled waters, he could proceed to the next step, which was to make a fool of himself.
Based on the Empire's route, he had calculated the path that the other party would definitely take. He had already used the King mecha to teleport to the frontline stronghold and stealthily arrived here. He found a secluded location and set up a trap to intercept and kill.
Not only was this area equipped with spacetime sealing devices, but it was also equipped with large-scale detection devices similar to the Sky Canopy, which 'sealed' this area. Not only would the people inside not be able to detect what was going on outside, but the people outside would also not be able to see what was going on inside. No matter what the battle was like inside, the long-range astronomical observations from the outside would only be able to see a peaceful scene. They would not be able to sense the energy waves of the battle, which would reduce the chances of outsiders discovering anything.
Furthermore, Han Xiao had also set up magical interference, mental wave isolation, foresight concealment, and so on. He had basically thought of every method to reduce the chances of the secret being leaked as much as possible. Only a Mechanic would be able to set up such a formation.
Furthermore, these technologies were already available in the universe. Han Xiao had used his own improved version, incorporating some similar blueprints from Jayz's technology treasure trove. They were very cutting-edge, and their effects were much better than normal products.
Of course, the battleships of advanced civilizations all had corresponding detection methods for these traps. If they were sailing normally, the dynasty fleet would have discovered the abnormality here from far away. However, Han Xiao's Virtual Reality range was extremely long, so he had long secretly adjusted the dynasty fleet's artificial intelligence and obtained the right to control the fleet without anyone noticing. This was why the other party did not notice anything. Otherwise, the dynasty fleet would not have stepped into his trap.
Although Gaud's energy control was amazing, he was also at a loss in the Virtual Realm and could not discover anything.
As soon as the mechanical army appeared, they fired at the paralyzed dynasty fleet without hesitation.
Endless light shone in the darkness. The next moment, a rainstorm of light penetrated the formation of the dynasty fleet!
The shield arrays of the dynasty battleships froze as if they were exposed to the rain of bullets. Beams of light pierced through the hull of the battleships, twisting and tearing apart the thick outer armor. The battleships exploded one after another in the blink of an eye, turning into strings of fireworks!
Hum!
However, at this time, dark blue psionic barriers suddenly appeared and protected the remaining spaceships. The firepower of the Mech Legion quickly shattered the barriers, but it also delayed them for a moment.
In this short moment, the thrusters of these spaceships suddenly shot out flames, and they accelerated instantly. Before the rain of light reached them, they narrowly escaped the frontal attack range of the firepower.
Inside the leading spaceship, Gaud's eyes lit up. His hand formed a claw, and a ball of light floated in his palm, emitting thousands of threads of light.
At the last moment, he activated his ability and created a psionic barrier to block part of the firepower. He then used his Esper Ability to activate the energy furnaces of the remaining battleships, bypassing the layers of authority to control the spaceships and directly activating the thrusters.
After a round of attacks, this kind of fleet had already suffered heavy casualties. There were only seven or eight spaceships left.
"That was close …"
Gaud's expression was grave, and his nerves were tense.
The moment he attacked, he sensed the energy level of the other party. It was definitely at the level of a peak Beyond Grade A, and it was one of the stronger ones.
There were only a few Mechanics at this level in the universe. No matter who it was, they were not someone he could deal with at the moment. Of course, the most likely was still that old bastard Manison!
"I can't fight. Let's go!"
Gaud glanced at the shocked and furious captain, activated his ability again, and pushed the surviving spaceships out of the sealed area.
He knew that these crew members would not be able to help. It was not that he wanted to save them, but it was mainly because his flying speed was not as fast as the battleships, so he needed to escape with the help of the battleships.
Only by escaping the sealed area of spacetime and escaping the range of the other party's traps would he be able to send a message to the outside world.
However, at this time, Gaud's intuition felt a strong threat. He immediately broke through the cabin wall and escaped from the spaceship.
Swoosh!
The next moment, five extremely condensed red rays shot out from Han Xiao's fingertips, easily penetrating the layers of psionic barriers. They then pulled horizontally, cutting the surviving battleships into pieces in an instant. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.
The next second, the energy core of the spaceship exploded, and the blazing red energy expanded from the inside out, immediately exploding into fireworks and swallowing all the spaceship pieces.
The fleet was wiped out in an instant, leaving only Gaud floating in the middle of the battlefield.
"What a powerful energy ray. It seems to have amazing penetrability against all energy shields. If I was hit just now, I would definitely have been injured …"
Gaud's heart skipped a beat. He was so close to being hit by the red ray just now.
He looked up and saw that Han Xiao's black mechanical suit was covered with red energy circuits at some point in time. They were densely packed like blood vessels, all connected to his fingertips. As the five red rays shot out, these energy circuits dimmed again, as if they were entering a cooldown.
Seeing that his attack had missed, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
"This anti-neutron dissection was silent. If it were a normal new Beyond Grade A, they would have been hit by it. As expected of someone who inherited part of his mental strength, he was able to foresee the threat."
After a few years of research, the Universal Treasure mechanical suits Han Xiao had built were no longer just 'King'. This black mechanical suit itself was a Gold Grade blueprint from Jayz's technological treasure trove. Han Xiao had merged some modern technology into it and successfully improved it. He gave it a new name, 'Black King — Long Range Weapon'.
This was only one of the products in the same series. There were also three variants of 'Close Combat Weapon', 'Army Weapon', and 'Defensive Weapon'. They were proficient in different abilities and were collectively known as the 'Black King Series'. They were all Gold Grade armors!
Han Xiao did not hesitate and chased after him. Gaud turned around and ran.
Unfortunately, without a spaceship, his physical body's flying speed was far slower than the mechanical army. He was immediately surrounded by the mechanical army and fell into a tough battle.
As soon as they started fighting, Han Xiao realized that Gaud's Esper Ability was way too dominant. Not only was his resistance to energy attacks shockingly high, but he could also absorb the energy of the enemy's attacks during the battle and recover his energy at a shocking rate. It was equivalent to having an unlimited amount of energy as soon as he entered the Beyond Grade A level.
The superiority of the Esper Ability was fully displayed. Gaud was like the pride of the heavens. With his Esper Ability advantage, Gaud resisted the attacks of the Mech Army with difficulty and did not show any signs of being at a disadvantage.
"He just entered the Beyond Grade A level, and he already has this level of combat strength. In the future, who will be able to stop this guy?"
Seeing this, Han Xiao could not help but be amazed by Gaud's talent. At the same time, he was even more certain that he should get rid of this threat as soon as possible.
His figure flashed, and he personally broke into the encirclement. He quickly approached the other party, flicking away the energy beams that Gaud hurriedly shot at him one after another. He successfully got close to the other party. Without saying a word, he stomped down with a heavy axe.
Gaud's expression changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block.
Dong!
The majestic force hit him. Even though he used energy to protect himself, his body could not take it. His tendons snapped one after another, and his bones cracked one after another. Intense pain flooded his body.
"I didn't expect to be attacked by a Mechanic. If my Grade was a little higher, I would've made it so that you wouldn't be able to return alive …"
Gaud gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Just as he was about to retreat, he realized that his arm seemed to be stuck to Han Xiao's leg armor, and he could not move it.
He hurriedly looked over and saw black nanoparticles spreading out from the point of contact, quickly covering his arm and spreading toward his entire body.
"Not good!"
Gaud's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly mobilized his energy, wanting to break free. However, his brain suddenly trembled, and his mind was dragged into a vast world built by data streams. He lost control of his body.
Before he could react, a towering figure suddenly appeared and slapped his mind into the ground.
This move was … Virtual Soul!
Gaud still remembered this vividly. He gritted his teeth and asked,
He gritted his teeth and said, "Manison! Is that you? "
Han Xiao turned a deaf ear to him and focused on attacking.
In the Virtual Domain, Gaud's mind could not fight back at all and was beaten up. Luckily, his mind was far stronger than a new Beyond Grade A, so he managed to break free as soon as possible.
Gaud's consciousness returned to his body. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, he realized that his entire body was wrapped up by machinery like he was wearing a layer of mechanical armor.
"You …"
Before he could break free, he saw Han Xiao snap his fingers.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Gaud disappeared without a trace. The King mechanical suit broke through the spacetime anchor with him and teleported him away.
"Carry out Plan B."
Han Xiao immediately turned around and ordered the Mech Legion to open fire in this area, eliminating all traces of the fleet. He also controlled the mechanical army to shrink batch by batch and return to his main camp.
He had prepared a few plans. If he could get rid of Gaud quickly here, that would be the best. However, if Gaud had the ability to resist, he would find a way to change the battlefield.
Although he had set up many traps, the fourth phase area of the Flickering World was too lively after all. There were uncertainties everywhere, and he did not want to stay here for too long in case he was discovered.
Therefore, Han Xiao had made backup plans. When he traveled with Kasuyi the last time, he had recorded many deep level dimensions along the way. When he was waiting in the main universe, he had not waited for nothing. He had taken the time to choose a stable dimension that no one had ever visited before and placed a few sets of King's' Thrones' there. He had also left his mechanical army behind to transform that dimension into a larger sealed area.
When he arrived at the deep level world of the secondary dimension, all of Gaud's paths of retreat were cut off. He had nowhere to run!
Han Xiao quickly dealt with all the loose ends, removed all traces, recalled his army, and changed into another set of King. He then teleported away.
His vision blurred, and he arrived at a new place.
There was a pale land here. It was barren without any life. It was like a black and white world. Only outsiders had color.
In midair, another mechanical army that was lying in ambush in this secondary dimension was attacking Gaud, making it impossible for him to escape.
Seeing Han Xiao appear, Gaud suddenly turned around with shock in his eyes.
The teleportation function of the King was already one of Han Xiao's trademarks. After being hit, he finally knew the identity of the attacker. He could not believe it!
Gaud resisted the siege of the mechanical army with difficulty while staring at Han Xiao. His tone was filled with shock and confusion.
"Black Star! It's you! What's the meaning of this? "
He could not understand why it was Black Star who attacked him.
Aren't we friends now?
Didn't you want to be friends with me?
Why are you targeting me?
After confirming that Gaud was trapped, Han Xiao finally spoke for the first time. His tone was calm.
"Stop pretending. I know who you are … EsGod, do you really think you can cut off your past and regain your life?"
As soon as he said that …
Gaud's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle tips. His mind was in chaos!
Impossible!
I did it flawlessly. How could he know!
