At this moment, on the mother planet of the Red Empire, in the Ruler's office.
In the room, the remote monitor projected the scene of EsGod's prison. Marbruce placed his hands on his nose and stared at Black Star on the screen with his sharp eyes, paying attention to the development.
"Why did this guy take the risk to do this back then …"
Marbruce muttered to himself.
When the incident happened, he had listened to Bekorodi's opinion and vaguely suspected that Black Star was behind Gaud's disappearance. However, at that time, Uranril was still in charge, so it was not convenient for him to interfere.
Later on, when he became the Ruler, it was not suitable for him to investigate Black Star thoroughly, so he kept the matter under control.
The only motive Marbruce could think of was that Gaud had tried to simulate the ability of the Evolution Cube, which was why Black Star had attacked him. As for Black Star's idea of killing a rookie, based on the series of events with the World Tree, he felt that the possibility of Black Star doing so was relatively low.
"The problem with the Evolution Cube shouldn't have made him take such a risk. Black Star rarely does unnecessary things. There should be another reason why he secretly captured Gaud …"
Marbruce thought to himself, preparing his words.
He glanced around and saw Gaud's dispirited look as if he had been abused. He was even more furious. A direct descendant being treated like this was an insult to the dynasty's reputation.
If Black Star made things difficult for him because of the Evolution Cube, he would not accept this.
"But … even if I don't accept his explanation, what can I do …"
Marbruce sighed in his heart, feeling rather depressed.
The situation was grim, and Black Star was fully fledged. The three Universal Civilizations needed the association's strength to fight against the foreign enemies. Even if Black Star could not give him a satisfactory explanation, he helplessly realized that he still could not do anything to the other party and did not dare to retaliate.
Judging from the perspective of benefits alone, the importance of a direct descendant of the dynasty who had not yet grown up was naturally not as important as Black Star, their partner. Although the dynasty's reputation had been damaged this time, which made Marbruce angry, venting his anger was not something a person in his position should do. Even if the dynasty wanted to be tough, they had to look at the right time and place.
Marbruce even blamed Black Star for revealing this secret in front of Radiance and Ethereal. Wouldn't it have been better to tell him in private? At most, he would feel embarrassed, but he wouldn't let the other two families see him as a joke. Wouldn't it be better to deal with it behind closed doors?
Before the problem of the World Tree was resolved, the dynasty could not do anything to Black Star. Not only did they have to cooperate as usual, but after Gaud was sent back, they also had to persuade him to put the big picture first and not take revenge for the time being … The more Marbruce thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.
"I only hope that you can give me a reasonable explanation …"
Marbruce exhaled heavily and secretly lowered his standards.
…
On the other side, the amber that imprisoned EsGod was already floating in front of everyone.
Han Xiao glanced at it and saw that Gaud was suppressing the emotions in his heart. He still had a straight expression and pretended to be confused. He could not help but smile.
If it was before the split personality, the real EsGod would not have done this. However, [Esper Ability-Rebirth] had already turned the two of them into independent individuals. Their personalities had changed. Gaud was Gaud, and his main body was his main body. Speaking of which, the 'new EsGod' that was being imprisoned might have a personality more similar to the 'real EsGod' of the past.
"Teny, I'm ready to take action. Activate the space stabilization anchor."
Han Xiao nodded.
Hearing this, Teny turned around and gave the order. The fleets around quickly surrounded this area.
The space-time stabilization anchors were activated one after another to stabilize this space. The space-time stabilization rate was stabilized.
EsGod had a lot of abilities and was very slippery. He could teleport away if one was not careful. Therefore, fixing the space was a necessary environmental modification.
This time, Han Xiao walked out of the cabin alone and slowly flew to the EsGod amber. Under everyone's gaze, he unlocked the seal.
Buzz!
EsGod's eyes sparkled. He saw the situation clearly and hurriedly retreated.
It had been decades since the last time he unlocked the seal, and EsGod's soul was even more dispirited. However, the wormhole data that Black Star had tricked him about back then had already been researched. In order to wait for the day of his release, he had endured the loneliness and struggled to maintain his thoughts. Now that he had regained his freedom, he immediately reacted.
However, EsGod's condition was very low. The injuries that had not healed from the previous battle were still hurting, but he still put on his guard. He scanned the entire place and quickly locked onto Han Xiao.
"Black Star, I didn't expect you to really let me out again. Looks like I made the right bet."
Last time, in order to figure out Gaud's background, Han Xiao had let him out once. EsGod had resisted stubbornly and almost died. After listening to Black Star's lies, he had decided to surrender and die without resisting. Now, it seemed like he had won the bet.
Han Xiao's tone was calm. "We meet again."
"Is the World Tree here?" EsGod narrowed his eyes. He had no intention of exchanging pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"It's here." Han Xiao nodded and said calmly, "I let you out this time to fulfill my promise. I'll let you witness everything and borrow your strength."
Hearing this, EsGod seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden and smiled playfully.
"I've said it before, this day will come sooner or later. You guys will need my help one day."
At this moment, EsGod felt like he had finally seen the light of day.
After being locked up for so many years, he was finally free!
"I won't refute you in this regard. Although you're full of evil, you're still a powerful combatant. It's too much of a waste to lock you up here." Han Xiao raised his brows. "However, the form of help is probably different from what you think."
"Hmm?"
EsGod was confused.
"I don't plan to let you live to play a role. I need to borrow your life. A dead EsGod is a good EsGod."
"… What do you mean? You want to kill me? Now? "
EsGod was stunned.
You've sealed me for so long and only released me to kill me now. What's your motive?
This was completely different from what EsGod had expected. In his imagination, when the World Tree descended, the three Universal Civilizations would most likely ask him for help out of courtesy for the information he had. That way, he would have room to turn the situation around.
However, he did not expect that although he had gotten what he wanted and waited until the day the World Tree descended, his life would also come to an end … He did not think that he could escape from Black Star's hands in his current weakened state. EsGod had already realized this when they fought last time.
He did not know about the existence of the Underworld and did not understand what benefits his death would bring to Han Xiao. However, this did not stop him from understanding the other party's killing intent and immediately reacted.
EsGod retreated rapidly, squeezing out his cells to the limit, pumping out waves of energy. His aura soared, and a radar alarm sounded. He was prepared to fight with his life.
At the same time, a resolute mental wave spread out from EsGod's body into the minds of everyone present.
"Black Star! I won't sit still and wait for death. If you want my life, come and take it yourself! "
At the same time, Teny, who was watching the battle, secretly ordered the crew to turn on the full-view recording equipment.
"They're about to fight. Pay attention to recording the entire process. Don't miss out on any of the abilities Black Star displayed!"
On the side, Gaud looked at the scene of EsGod getting into position with complicated feelings.
This was the first time he had seen his main body after splitting up. It had been almost a hundred years. Looking at the body that he had once used to conquer the universe being controlled by a new personality, the feeling was indescribable.
After all, no matter what, he had always used that body to live and familiarized himself with every inch of his body. He had spent a lot of effort to cultivate the powerful abilities of his main body, but he had no choice but to leave it to the 'newcomer'. He missed it and was unwilling.
"If I wasn't caught back then, I wouldn't have given up my main body so quickly …"
Gaud clenched his teeth.
Now that the abilities of this new body had been taken away, the main body that he had left behind became his only hope.
Looking at the scene of Black Star confronting his main body outside the window, Gaud's thoughts spun quickly.
"With my main body's ability, as long as I can last for a while, I'll be able to break through the space stabilization effect of this area and escape with Dimensional Leap … There's still a chance!"
Although he had been locked up for decades and did not understand Black Star's progress, Gaud was very clear about the strength of his main body. With the strength that Black Star had when he defeated him back then, he felt that he would not be able to take down his main body in a short time …
This was hope!
Gaud was energized.
However, just as he was concentrating and preparing to watch this fierce battle from the sidelines, an unforeseen event suddenly occurred in the field, causing his mind to tremble violently!
A circle of golden lightning spread out from the surface of Han Xiao's body, and countless mechanical soldiers swarmed out. It was as if Han Xiao himself had become the gate of the secondary dimensional army box, directly ignoring the effect of the space stabilization anchor!
[Godly Fortress]!
In the blink of an eye, a mechanical army far larger than the fleet present spread out in the battlefield.
The next moment, a large number of machines gathered on Han Xiao's body and quickly synthesized into a strange-looking Mechanical Deity. Its structure was extremely complicated, and it looked like it was wearing a dark golden precise armor. It had a crown on its head, and its facial features were similar to Han Xiao's. Complicated silver-blue matrix patterns covered its body, flickering as if it was breathing.
Compared to ordinary Mechanical Deities, the energy waves emitted by these mechanical bodies were even more shocking. They had a unique temperament and looked like they were one. They no longer looked like something synthesized but more like an independent existence that had been summoned.
[Mechanical Deity — Supreme Heavenly Venerate]!
An intense high-level pressure suddenly swept out. All the life forms present felt an immense pressure as if a True God had descended.
Teny and the others were not Beyond Grade As, so they felt that it was normal, but EsGod and Gaud's expressions changed drastically!
"Could it be that you've already …"
EsGod was stunned and shocked.
Why had he been in the universe for so many years? Wasn't it to step into a higher realm?
However, without any preparation, he saw what he suspected to be his dream on Black Star. How could he not be shocked?
Before EsGod could react from his shock, Han Xiao brazenly attacked. The image of the Emperor Skysplitter Blade quickly formed in the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's hand. The next moment, the image suddenly solidified and slashed out.
Dense and suffocating psionic energy surged and exploded. It was as if the area visible to the naked eye had been dyed a deep blue. The translucent energy covered all directions!
EsGod suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly responded. Layers of energy shields popped out, but under the attack of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, they shattered into pieces of light that filled the sky like fragile pieces of glass.
He wanted to dodge, but he felt that he was firmly locked onto. Due to the interference of the space stabilization anchor, he could not use teleportation.
EsGod clenched his teeth and gathered what little energy he had left. He activated his offensive Esper Ability and fought head-on!
A black and red beam shot out and hit the blade of the Emperor Skysplitter Blade, splitting it in half. The blade only paused for a moment before slashing down at an even faster speed. The stream of light of the Getta Ripple Fist flowed, compressed, and condensed on the blade, forming a huge light blade.
Bang!
A large mass of flesh and blood mixed with strength suddenly exploded, turning into ashes halfway through its flight.
EsGod's figure flew out, and half of his body was shattered by the blade!
When EsGod was sealed the last time, he had just been beaten up by Han Xiao. His health was low to begin with, and the power of this slash instantly injured him heavily. If not for him activating his recovery Esper Ability, EsGod would have been killed instantly!
Before he could adjust, Han Xiao's fist holding the blade hit the air, creating a ring-shaped blue shockwave that quickly caught up to EsGod's figure and swept over.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! A series of explosions suddenly occurred on EsGod's body. It was as if he had suffered tens of thousands of heavy blows at the same time. Dense dents appeared on his body, and his entire person was almost beaten into a lump of meat. He did not look human anymore, and he could not move at all.
EsGod still had a breath left, and he crazily activated his recovery Esper Ability. Flesh continued to grow out, wanting to recover.
However, at this time, the thrusters on the back of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate spewed out a thick tail flame, and the explosive speed increased. The blade turned, leaving behind a dazzling slash mark that burned the retina. The huge body was unbelievably agile, and it brushed past EsGod!
Xiu!
The light slashed past EsGod's body, and his recovery stopped instantly. His life force disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He controlled his newly grown head with difficulty and turned to look at the Supreme Heavenly Venerate behind him. Complicated emotions flashed through his eyes. There was realization, envy, relief, and relief …
"You didn't disappoint me … You have indeed stepped into … the level of my dream. At least before I die … I can see a higher power … It's worth it …"
The intermittent mental fluctuations squeezed out the last of his strength. The next moment, EsGod's body dissipated in front of everyone, turning into stars that filled the sky and disappearing.
EsGod was killed in three straight attacks!
Teny's expression froze, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Black Star had once killed a Beyond Grade A in one hit, but that was all in terms of tactics. Most of the time, it was a style of fighting where the heavens and earth would live together. However, this seemed to be the first time such a feat of instantly killing a peak Beyond Grade A in a head-on battle.
It was as easy as a Beyond Grade A fighting a Calamity Grade. This was the Transcendent Grade?!
With just two or three moves, it was impossible to gather much information about Black Star's abilities. However, the tip of the iceberg was already shocking enough.
Teny could not help but gulp. He deeply doubted whether an individual of this level was still an existence that a fleet could deal with …
"What …"
On the other side, Gaud was also stunned.
He had thought that Black Star would still have a fierce battle with his main body, but he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, Black Star would easily kill his main body in two or three moves, completely crushing his hope.
What shocked him the most was the fact that Black Star had already stepped into a higher level of power!
A deep sense of powerlessness filled Gaud's entire body.
He had wasted so many years, committed countless evil deeds, abandoned precious things one after another, and even changed his body, but he still did not achieve this dream. However, Black Star had easily fulfilled his lifelong wish …
I hate it so much!
Under normal circumstances, Gaud would still have the mentality to chase after him, but now that his abilities had been taken away and his main body had been killed, there was no chance. For a moment, he felt as if all his energy had been sucked away, leaving only an empty shell without a soul.
Gaud would rather be trapped in the Spacetime Amber forever than experience this series of despair.
At this moment, he fell into depression.
