"What do you think Black Star is planning to do by keeping that annoying bastard?"
The many Beyond Grade As who walked out of the conference room left along the corridor. Sun Hunter's tiny body floated in midair as he followed the crowd.
Kant shrugged and fiddled with the thrusters on the back of Manison's Lord's Avatar. He said nonchalantly, "It's definitely nothing good."
Secret Master looked down at the light of the enchantment tattoo and said calmly,
"I did a divination just now. Dylan's luck is dark, and there seems to be a bloody disaster."
"Hmm, looks like Black Star is going to settle the score with him and teach him a lesson. This guy deserves to be beaten up."
Sun Hunter smacked his lips and chuckled.
Just as they were guessing, a loud explosion came from behind!
Bang!
A strong shockwave suddenly came from behind, causing everyone to stagger.
The Beyond Grade As turned around in surprise and saw that the corridor they came from had already exploded into pieces. The center of the explosion was the conference room, and it had already turned into a huge hole. The change in the internal and external pressure burst out with an astonishing suction force, sucking out a large pile of debris. Two streams of light intertwined with each other and shot into the sky, instantly rushing into the universe.
The group looked up in surprise and saw that psionic energy was shooting out from the sky. Han Xiao was already fighting with Dylan. His black robe danced in the wind, and dark blue psionic energy shot out, clashing with the spells that Dylan was constantly releasing in midair, exploding with dazzling light.
"Woah, they're fighting!"
"Hit him hard, Black Star, I support you mentally!"
"Count me in. Help me punch him a few times."
Be it the members of the association or the direct descendants of the civilization, they all gathered back and looked up at the two people fighting in the sky through the open hole.
With Dylan's popularity, no one went up to help him. Everyone looked like they were watching a show. Their faces were filled with schadenfreude as they watched this annoying fellow get beaten up.
In outer space, Dillon kept trying to pull away, but Han Xiao kept sticking to him. Because it was a close-range attack, Dillon could not react in time and was flustered. His face was punched a few times, and his fair face swelled up slightly with bruises.
Dillon hurriedly took out a magic artifact, and his magic power circulated along a complicated circuit. He released the secret technique of the elves, and slender blue-green ribbons of light quickly extended out. They were densely packed, and the light almost condensed into substance. They wrapped around Han Xiao's hands and feet, flashing with countless elven inscriptions.
Taking advantage of the short control time, Dillon quickly activated the short-range Blink enchantment. With a flash of light, he pulled a large distance away. He hurriedly raised his hand to cast a spell and built a long-range teleportation gate.
He didn't want to sit and wait for his death. He hadn't fought with Han Xiao yet, so he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, just as a spark appeared on the spatial gate, Han Xiao tore apart his control spell and blew up his magic artifact. He instantly appeared beside Dillon with a Void Hyperdrive.
The next moment, the elbow, which was condensed with psionic energy, smashed into Dylan's Magic Shield. The powerful force instantly shattered it into fragments of light, and the iron elbow smashed into Dylan's chest with unstoppable force.
Dong!
A dull vibration spread out from the point of impact. Dillon's eyes bulged, and he felt a huge force almost squashing his organs. His chest caved in, and his back suddenly bulged, breaking a large number of bones.
"Cough …"
Blood rushed to his throat, and Dillon could not help but cough out a mouthful of blood. Enduring the pain, he quickly activated the Phase Void spell and instantly avoided Han Xiao's subsequent headbutt.
However, before he could use the opportunity to cast a spell, a mecha's palm wrapped in a pale white light quickly attacked him. The force field emitted by the phase stabilization device instantly neutralized his spell, and the large hand immediately grabbed the entity and grabbed his throat. Then, a storm of punches quickly enlarged in Dillon's vision.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, Dillon had lost count of how many punches he had taken on his face. He felt as if his head had become a sandbag that had been crazily hit by someone. There were dents in his head, and his entire body was deflated. Waves of force passed through his skin, muscles, and bones, and went deep into his brain. His brain was almost shaken into a foam-like substance.
"Get away from me!"
Dillon gritted his teeth, and his magic power flowed into his mind along a specific circuit, stimulating his mind. The dizziness was removed, and he regained his focus on casting spells. Without another word, he raised his hand and cast five instant spells.
As the colorful magic light flowed, the five spells formed a combo. The shield that specialized in defending against melee attacks was regenerated, barely blocking a few combo attacks. Then, he used an escape spell to get rid of the control. Then, he used a high-level Immobilization spell to stop Han Xiao for an instant. Then, the shockwave of his magic power pushed him away, and he used Starlight Escape to pull away again.
After finally getting a chance to catch his breath, Dillon hurriedly activated the secret healing technique that the elves were good at to heal his injuries. However, after suffering a series of heavy blows, his originally handsome face was now swollen like a pig's head with a crooked mouth. The swelling speed was very slow.
"Although Dillon is annoying, he still has some ability. It's a pity that his opponent this time is someone out of the norm. He's definitely in for it."
The Beyond Grade As below watched the show while whispering.
Peak Beyond Grade A Mages were famous for having a lot of means. As an Arcanist who had left his name in history, Dillon naturally knew countless spells. Unfortunately, these moves could only allow him to survive for a little longer and had no other use. They were both peak Beyond Grade As, but Han Xiao's Energy Rank far exceeded his.
Seeing that Dillon was beaten up, everyone was excited. If not for their status, some people might have cheered loudly … If not for the fact that they knew Han Xiao's background and saw the melee suppression just now, everyone would have thought that Dillon was being beaten up by a Pugilist.
At this time, Han Xiao's energy surged, and he shattered the high-level Immobilization rune. He raised his hand and summoned the dimensional army box. The black army instantly surged out, and the scene finally changed to that of a Mechanic.
Dillon's heartstrings trembled, and he did not dare to be distracted anymore. He quickly chanted incantations, and powerful forbidden spells left his hands one after another, turning into magic cannons that bombarded the endless mechanical army. In the black sea of machinery, colorful but fatal explosions burst out.
However, the performance of Han Xiao's mechanical soldiers was already extremely shocking, and with the support of his Mechanical Force, Dillon could not cut the grass at all. The hardness of the small soldiers was as if they had activated Nightmare Mode, and most of the attacks were blocked by the shields and armor of the mechanical army.
After switching to the Mechanic's group fighting mode, the battle entered the rhythm that Han Xiao was familiar with. Dillon was surrounded and could not escape no matter how hard he tried. The mechanical army fought back and forth like a rag wiping away a stubborn stain.
After enduring the impact time and time again, Dillon's aura slowly slid down from its peak and gradually weakened. He tried to open a stable teleportation gate time and time again, but all of them were scattered by the fluctuations of the spatial device.
He was already at the end of his rope, struggling to drown in the black sea of machinery. With his endless magic, he only lasted for half a day.
Finally, the flickering magic shield could no longer withstand the attacks of the Apostle Weapons and shattered.
Chi chi chi!
The next moment, laser beams pierced through his body, leaving charred wounds. His body was almost turned into a beehive.
However, although Mages were fragile, the life force of a peak Beyond Grade A was not so easy to destroy. He was still on the verge of death.
Han Xiao waved his hand and had a few Apostle Weapons escort the heavily injured Dillon into the broken conference room. They came to the front of the many Beyond Grade As who had been watching the battle.
Everyone looked at Dillon's miserable state and grinned. Dillon's personality really did not have any friends.
Sun Hunter floated to Dillon's head, hugged a tuft of hair, and pulled it out. "Aren't you very arrogant? Show me your foul mouth again."
"He was beaten up by you. I hope he can learn to keep a low profile in the future." Beiger shook his head.
Aurora could not bear it. She grabbed a ball of life energy and asked, "Do you need me to treat him?"
Han Xiao waved his hand and said casually, "There's no need.
"There's no need. I was just about to kill him."
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere changed slightly. Everyone's smiles disappeared and their faces were filled with surprise.
They had always thought that Han Xiao was just teaching Dillon a lesson, so they were watching the show happily. However, now that they knew that Han Xiao wanted his life, the nature was different. Everyone's expressions became serious.
"You're going to kill him? Although this guy is quite annoying, it's not to the extent of taking his life, right? "Sun Hunter said with a doubtful tone.
Oulou agreed and said in surprise, "This guy is quite strong. Since he's willing to participate in the battle, why kill him? Besides, you'll have to revive him sooner or later. Isn't this unnecessary … Don't tell me you don't plan to revive him?!"
All of a sudden, many people spoke up to express their opposition.
Although they hated him, most of the Beyond Grade As did not want to kill Dillon. It was not because they had any relationship with him, but because it involved their own interests … Although the Sanctum Revival was their lifeline, no one wanted to see Black Star use this to take from the Beyond Grade As and kill them as he pleased.
Han Xiao looked at everyone and was not surprised at all.
The truth of the Sanctum Revival was a double-edged sword. The Beyond Grade As tolerated his control because he was strong enough, but it did not mean that they had become obedient babies.
From the beginning to the end, these Beyond Grade As were a group of untamed beasts, eyeing him covetously.
The chance of eternal life was very tempting. Some Beyond Grade As could put down their pride, but they would not completely give up their dignity and bottom line. It was best for everyone to live in peace, and everyone was willing to listen to his orders within the bottom line. However, if he went overboard, the Beyond Grade As would not be indifferent.
The starting point of participating in the battle in exchange for a revival slot was to unite against the outside world. It was a reasonable request, so everyone could accept it. However, it did not mean that the Beyond Grade As would obey all orders unconditionally. Although everyone cherished the chance of eternal life, they would not really become subordinates and be completely controlled by others.
Once the truth of the Sanctum Revival was made public, it would no longer be a private thing but a public interest in the eyes of the Beyond Grade As. It could be controlled by a certain person, but they could not tolerate complete privatization.
If they wanted to use this channel to seek absolute control over the Beyond Grade As, the result would most likely be the Beyond Grade As working together to snatch the control of the Sanctum Revival. At most, they would fight to the death.
They would either fight alone or rope in a group of Beyond Grade As to deal with the rebels. This would be the path of the Celestial Star Alliance.
Han Xiao was well aware of this, but he did not intend to control everyone.
He slowly said, "Dylan has destroyed the internal unity many times and is an unstable factor. This time, he brought his people to leave the association, which has already proved his instability. What if he accidentally leaks the information? Seeing that he took the initiative to come back, I will reduce his punishment. However, for the sake of the war, I plan to send him to the Underworld for the time being. After the war is over, he will enjoy the normal revival treatment.
Everyone, you can be a witness to prevent me from going back on my word in the future. "
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They exchanged looks and pondered.
What they objected to was killing for no reason, not that they could not kill. They felt that Black Star's words made sense.
Thinking back to Dylan's performance, it might be a good choice to let this foul-mouthed guy enter the Underworld for a period of time. The world would be half peaceful then.
Thinking of this, everyone retreated and did not continue to stop him.
Seeing this, Dylan was in complete despair. He coughed out a large mouthful of charred blood, and his aura withered.
"Since no one has any objections, I'll take action."
Seeing this, Han Xiao turned around and gestured to his troops.
Puchi!
The next moment, Psionic Prime stabbed his spear into the back of Dylan's head and exited, destroying his last bit of life force.
Hella immediately raised her hand and captured Dylan's soul. Then, she disappeared from the spot with Aurora and entered the Underworld to modify Dylan's spirit body.
Han Xiao looked at Kasuyi, pointed at the hole in the ceiling, and said, "Don't forget to get someone to fix the conference room."
With that, he changed into the King and teleported away.
Seeing the mechanical army dragging Dylan's corpse away, the Beyond Grade As present were shocked.
After thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that Black Star had deliberately killed Dylan in front of them to establish his authority. Black Star's subtext was that although he did not want to use the revival quota to control the Beyond Grade As, he did not want everyone to think that they could do whatever they wanted with the Sanctum Revival. He wanted to show that he would not pay for the mistakes of others.
Originally, everyone was quite excited to receive the unlimited revival quota promised by Black Star through participating in the battle. Now that they had finally calmed down, some of the dangerous thoughts that had sprouted in the dark were put on the reins again.
The group calmed down and dispersed with their own thoughts.
…
On the other side, in the Underworld dimension.
Dylan's soul floated in midair. Hella and Aurora were mobilizing the power of the Underworld and injecting it into Dylan's body to modify the form of his spirit body. The nine Hero Spirit Kings of the Underworld were watching from the side.
With a flash of light, Han Xiao teleported over. The moment he appeared, he attracted Dylan's furious gaze.
"Black Star! I took the initiative to come back to participate in the battle, but you killed me. You and I are irreconcilable! "
Dillon cursed and gritted his teeth.
Han Xiao did not mind and clicked his tongue.
"You looked like you were half dead just now, but you look so energetic after you're dead."
"You're shameless! You're shameless! I'm really blind to believe you! I … "
Before he could finish, Hella muted him expressionlessly. No matter how Dylan opened and closed his mouth, he could not make a sound.
Han Xiao shrugged and turned to look at Sorokin and the others. "This guy will be the tenth Hero Spirit King in the future. Teach him more and let him reflect on what it means to cause trouble with his mouth."
With his seniority rising again, Sorokin was in a good mood.
"How strong is this guy?"
"Peak Beyond Grade A Mage, the former Holy King of the Elves. His combat strength is quite good. You might not even be his match. He's only a little weaker than me," Han Xiao said casually.
"The quality of the rookies this time is not bad," Sorokin replied like an old man.
Han Xiao ignored him and turned to look at Dylan, who was roaring silently. His eyes flashed.
This way, the Hero Spirit King of the Underworld would become one of the ten Vajras. With such a 'lively' guy, Sorokin and the others' lives would probably be even more 'colorful'.
Without looking at Hella and her sister's Hero Spirit Modification Ceremony, Han Xiao opened the interface and looked at the mission list. Dylan's Beyond Grade A Challenge Mission was shining brightly.
"Mage … I wonder what ability I'll get …"
