In the next few days, the World Tree Army lay in ambush and did not launch any attacks on the borders of the Flickering World or the shallow dimensions. There was a short pause in the flames of war. However, the strategic command center of the three Universal Civilizations did not relax at all. The atmosphere was as if they were facing a great enemy. They knew that this was only the calm before the storm.
The armies that were originally stationed in the various Star Fields for emergencies were put to use. They all entered a state of war and patrolled the areas they were in charge of.
The coded particles leaked the star map of the entire explored universe, including countless spatial coordinates. The enemy had too many routes to choose from, and it was possible to invade from anywhere.
Han Xiao sent most of the Mechanical Oracles to the main universe to increase the scale of the high-level combatants. Originally, the three Universal Civilizations already had the advantage in terms of individual strength, but if the World Tree invaded, the role of the high-level combatants would be completely different from a head-on battle. Extremely high flexibility brought about powerful destructive power, and the battlefront would be divided into countless pieces. As the defending side that had to chase after the enemy, their Beyond Grade As would still not be enough.
Apart from dealing with the changes in the situation, Han Xiao had also been secretly searching for spies from foreign civilizations over the past few days. Unfortunately, he was looking for a needle in a haystack and did not find anything. However, he did have some results from his investigation of the Supercluster Alliance.
"So they want to escape while the battle is intense and the three Universal Civilizations have no time to care about other things. They want to leave their control and head to the unexplored universe to find a place to reproduce and develop freely …"
Han Xiao looked at the information on the virtual screen with a strange expression.
How badly had they been bullied by the three Universal Civilizations to the point that they did not even want their hometown?
He could roughly understand the thoughts of the Supercluster Alliance. If they stayed in the explored universe, they would only be suppressed endlessly and restrained by the three Universal Civilizations. No matter how they developed, they would not be able to surpass these three ceilings.
When the situation was reshuffling due to the invasion of foreign enemies, the Supercluster Alliance considered their future and made a choice. In order for their civilization to develop freely, they decided to take the risk and explore the unknown. This was understandable. After all, they had never been on the same side as the three Universal Civilizations.
"This is bad. The invasion of the World Tree is their chance to escape. If they really do that, yellow mud will fall into their pants. Even if it isn't sh * t, it will still be sh * t."
Han Xiao rubbed the space between his eyebrows, secretly feeling a headache.
He had already told the three leaders about the results of the third party and even directly pointed out the existence of the Lore Civilization. However, the situation was not unexpected. The three of them did not say that they did not believe him at all, but they only accepted that this was one of the theories. Unless there was conclusive evidence, they would continue to look for the traitor.
Only when the battle became chaotic and the three Universal Civilizations could not spare any energy would the Supercluster Alliance be able to carry out the plan. However, it just so happened that someone leaked the information at this time. Wasn't this a coincidence? To be honest, if Han Xiao did not know the truth, he would have felt that the Supercluster Alliance was an iron wolf from the perspective of the three Universal Civilizations. They would definitely have attracted the invasion of the World Tree to escape.
In his previous life, the Supercluster Alliance did not do this. Instead, they stood on the side of the galactic society and fought against the foreign enemies together. This time, they made a completely different choice. Perhaps it was because the time was different, and the upper echelons were different, so the logic of their decision was different. Perhaps it was because their situation was slightly different from his previous life, and most of it was because of the butterfly effect that he had brought about. It was even more likely that the Supercluster Alliance had not personally witnessed the power of the World Tree's invasion like in his previous life and had not experienced the true threat of this universal calamity, so they still felt that they could stay away from the flames of war.
In other words, they had not been beaten up by the World Tree.
"I have to convince the Supercluster to cancel the escape plan, or the internal division will be right in front of us. However, this kind of grand strategy involves the development of future civilizations. No matter how big my face is, the Supercluster will not be moved by me with just a few words."
Han Xiao pondered.
On one hand, he did not want the Supercluster to take the blame and let the third party get away scot-free. On the other hand, the galactic society needed the strength of the Supercluster to resist the invasion of the World Tree. As long as they were determined to fight, their combined strength could not be underestimated. They were also an important part of the explored universe's strength.
"I have to think of a way …"
Just as he was thinking, an urgent internal message from the three Universal Civilizations' military popped up on the virtual screen.
"Primeval Star River, Ancient Star Desert, Sea of Star Spirits, Black Hole Edge, Endless Nebula, Shattered Star Ring, and other Star Fields have discovered traces of the World Tree fleet! Request reinforcements! Request reinforcements! "
Han Xiao suddenly sat up straight, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
It's here!
…
In the Ancient Star Desert, blue wormholes were formed one after another, forming a huge oval-shaped spatial rift. It was as if a god had cut open the curtain of the universe, leaving behind a dark blue scar.
Immediately after, a green light appeared in the huge spatial rift. It turned from dark to bright, from small to large, and finally turned into an overwhelming green tide that poured out!
The seemingly endless World Tree fleet crossed the border of the Flickering World and descended along the wormhole. The dense hyperdrive streams condensed into pillars of light that shot out in all directions. Like a plague virus that had been injected into the enemy's body, it began to spread in the blink of an eye.
Countless World Tree warriors had fanatical looks on their faces as if they were holding a carnival. After being in a stalemate for so many years, they had finally charged in and dismembered their prey!
The planets that the World Tree fleet passed by had violent fluctuations in the outer space. Thick World Tree roots tore open spatial rifts as if they were drilling through the soil. They extended out from the void and stabbed into the planets. Like straws, they extracted dazzling energy that could be seen with the naked eye.
The planet's crust softened and flowed into the World Tree roots like a fluid. The planet's mantle and core were also devoured in large mouthfuls. The planet slowly shriveled and rapidly declined.
Wherever the Green Tide passed, the stars slowly extinguished, and the planets gradually melted, leaving behind only death and desolation.
This reminded the World Tree warriors of the past. They roamed the boundless universe, tasting the delicious taste of the enemy's territory without any scruples. They cut off pieces of meat from the struggling prey and ate everything from the enemy like they were alive. After all, they were the top hunters in the universe, the only predators!
The same scene happened in multiple Star Fields at the same time.
In a hurry, the Galactic Alliance Army and the local Star System and Star Cluster civilizations launched a counterattack, chasing and intercepting them. The flames of war burned through the explored universe like a prairie fire.
The battlefront was divided into countless lines, and the World Tree experts finally had a place to use their strength. They were scattered all over the place and moved in groups of twos and threes, completely displaying the flexibility of high-level combatants. The Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations could not continue to stay together. They could only leave Aurora and split up to reinforce the various areas.
The sudden change scared countless galactic residents. The good situation was instantly reversed. The foreign enemies wreaked havoc in the territory, and the panic that was suppressed in the bottom of their hearts broke free from the reins of rationality. It gushed out like a volcanic eruption, burning away their remaining rationality. Many refugee planets were in chaos!
The Ancestral Tree King looked into the distance. His gaze seemed to have passed through the barrier of endless space and locked onto the direction of the Central Galaxy.
"Eat, eat everything. You have given us a feast, and we will return despair."
…
In a certain army base in the Shattered Star Ring, the Black Star Corps were exchanging fire with the descending World Tree fleet. In the battlefield, there was also a black tide formed by mechanical soldiers moving about, tearing apart the World Tree battleships one after another.
On a planet not far away, dozens of World Tree roots had already pierced into the core of the planet and were absorbing energy. In outer space, three Holy Tree Emissaries were chasing after two figures, and five streams of light collided again and again.
Clang!
Lothaire held a dagger with both hands, one facing forward and one facing backward. The speed of his blade was as fast as lightning, and it danced in a silver glow. His body was agile, and he moved back and forth between the three Holy Tree Emissaries. He fought fiercely, and the silver dagger collided with the laser beams and magic again and again.
He looked unstoppable, but in reality, he was already covered in injuries. In the intense battle, he had to divert his attention to take care of Carrott, who was slightly weaker, so it was inevitable that he would reveal flaws.
Lothaire crossed his daggers and slashed out a resplendent light blade, forcing the Mechanical Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary to retreat. A light suddenly lit up from the corner of his eyes, and he dodged to the side without hesitation. All of a sudden, a gorgeous high-level arcane light pierced through his waist, leaving behind a burn mark.
"Did you dodge the attack? Your reaction is quite fast."
The Mage Holy Tree Emissary who attacked spoke with a regretful tone.
Among the three Holy Tree Emissaries, two of them had never appeared on the battlefield before. They were all foreign experts who had been holding back.
It was only when they entered the territory of the three Universal Civilizations and split up countless battlefronts that the World Tree activated the foreign experts to increase the scale of their high-level combatants. Butler
On one hand, they were flexible enough to split up. Even if Black Star had the method to awaken the foreign experts, they would not be caught in one fell swoop. On the other hand, the World Tree did not care about anything else. As long as they could speed up their invasion, they did not care about losing some people. They were already mentally prepared for a portion of their experts to be wiped out by Black Star's [Information Form Obliteration].
Lothaire's expression was tense. He pressed on his wound and used his energy to urge his cells to recover quickly. The wound quickly scabbed over. He glanced at his three opponents and was shocked.
His Pugilist style focused on agility, concealment, and assassination. Direct battles were not his forte, and being surrounded was even more disadvantageous. At this moment, he could not take it anymore.
"Can you still do it?" Carrott, who was at the side, came over. He was also covered in wounds, and he stood back to back with Lothaire, staring at the enemy.
He had only entered the Beyond Grade A realm a few years ago, and the new stage of [Everlasting Martial Path] was still being activated. His combat strength was still at the level of a new Beyond Grade A, and it was very difficult for him to fight. He might not even be able to defeat any of his opponents in a one on one battle.
The two of them were originally training here, but the World Tree suddenly attacked and dragged them into the flames of war.
"I can still hold on for a while."
Lothaire adjusted his aura, and the Pugilist flames climbed up again, condensing at the blade.
The five of them locked onto each other. Their bodies paused for a moment before suddenly exploding at the same time. They charged forward again and clashed brazenly. Saber light, aura flames, and magic power shot out. The five streams of light were like five threads, tangling into a mess.
Suddenly, Lothaire's body paused, and his two daggers slashed out a cross light blade, shattering the Arcane Attack of the Mage Holy Tree Emissary. However, in the shattered light, the Mechanical Pugilist suddenly appeared. He was thrown over by the Hand of Magic. Eight mechanical spears that looked like spider legs suddenly extended from the back of his mechanical suit. The tip of the spear broke through the protective flames and pierced into Lothaire's body.
Crack!
The silver blade flashed, and the eight mechanical spears were cut off. The cut was as smooth as a mirror.
Lothaire retreated quickly, controlling his muscles to squeeze out the spear tip that was broken in his body, leaving eight shallow wounds. This injury was just a superficial wound to him.
However, just as he was about to continue attacking, his body suddenly stiffened. A dark green color suddenly appeared on his wounds, and the flesh that was originally recovering suddenly started to fester.
"Biological poison?"
Lothaire's expression changed. He looked up and saw that the broken spear tip that had been ejected was seeping out green liquid. He looked at it with his microscopic vision and saw that this green liquid was a group of dark green micro-molecular robots that carried shocking poison.
Waves of intense nerve pain erupted like a tsunami, and Lothaire's senses suddenly became chaotic. It was as if he had lost control of his body, and he began to tremble unconsciously. The cells in his body were corroded on a large scale.
With a flash, the last Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary took advantage of the opportunity to enter. He held a sharp blade made of anti-regeneration alloy in his hand and stabbed it into Lothaire's neck from behind, wanting to remove his entire spine.
Right at this moment, Carrott charged over from the side to stop this Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary. Unfortunately, he was one step too slow and could only throw a punch in an attempt to save him.
"A mere new Beyond Grade A Super wants to … Hmm?"
The Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary originally wanted to kill Lothaire even at the risk of being injured. However, just as Carrott's fist approached, a strong sense of danger exploded in his heart!
The flames all over Carrott's body flowed like water, condensing into the tip of his fist. He did not release his strength, but the momentum of his fist rose steadily. It was as if the heavenly river was hanging upside down and the stars were shattering, bursting out with an indomitable sharpness.
At this moment, a shout that contained spiritual fluctuations exploded like a clap of thunder!
"Martial God Fist — Galaxy Break!"
The fist suddenly landed on the arm of the Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary, and a strong light suddenly blossomed, snatching away everyone's vision!
Time seemed to have frozen for a moment before it started to flow.
The other two Holy Tree Emissaries regained their vision and hurriedly looked over. They saw that Carrott had already retreated to the side with Lothaire in his arms, while the Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary stood rooted to the ground, still maintaining his defensive posture, but he did not do anything else.
However, the next moment, the body of the Pugilist Holy Tree Emissary cracked like porcelain and withered. In the end, it turned into dust and scattered into the galaxy.
One-hit kill!
"What kind of move is this?"
The remaining two Holy Tree Emissaries were shocked. They could not believe their eyes. One of their colleagues was killed in an instant.
It was understandable if it was a peak Beyond Grade A, but was this the power of a new Beyond Grade A?
Lothaire had a chance to catch his breath and suppress the poison with difficulty. Seeing this scene, he could not help but widen his eyes. "You've already created that kind of fist technique?"
"Hu … Hu … No, I've only created two styles. I'm still far from perfecting the Martial God Fist."
Carrott had expended a lot of energy. This punch had gathered all of his essence, energy, and spirit, and its power far exceeded his level. At this moment, his entire body was sore and weak, and his stamina was almost depleted.
When he stepped into the Beyond Grade A realm, Carrott had some special insights and an idea. He wanted to create a Pugilist style that was suitable for him and named it 'Martial God Fist'. The reason he used this name was not because he was arrogant, but because it contained his expectations for himself. He hoped to create a Beyond Grade A fist technique that would allow a heifer to fly into the sky.
All these years, Carrott had been fumbling around and integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools. Until now, he had only comprehended two moves. The power was extremely exaggerated, but the consumption was also frightening. With his foundation as a Beyond Grade A Pugilist, he could only throw three or four punches.
Lothaire looked at the enemy's corpse that had turned into dust and said, "What a terrifying move. You've already surpassed me."
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you."
Carrott smiled shyly.
The two of them thought that this Martial God Fist was powerful, but if Han Xiao was here, he would be able to see that although the Martial God Fist was mysterious, it would not be able to display such power when used by others. The truly powerful one was Carrott himself.
This was because the process of creating the Martial God's Fist was also the stage where Karlot integrated everything he had learned. During this process, he would be able to comprehend a new specialty almost every few days. Among them, three of the Pugilist specialties were extremely powerful.
[Martial Saint Might] — When used, the base power of any Pugilist skill will increase by 80% – 240%!
[Martial God Fist Ancestor] — When using the 'Martial God Fist' series of skills, the base power will increase by 100% – 300%!
[One Punch Martial God] — Every time you use the 'Martial God Fist' series of skills to hit the opponent, you can trigger a heavy injury or instant death judgment (the success rate depends on the power of the skill, the difference in level, Energy Rank, Attribute, and so on). If the judgment fails, an additional 50% – 150% damage will be dealt!
With a bunch of Pugilist talents, although Carrott was only a new Beyond Grade A Super, his explosive power was unbelievably strong. As long as he was lucky, it was even possible for him to instantly kill the enemy.
Bang bang …
Carrott clenched his fists, looked at the two Holy Tree Emissaries, and said to Lothaire, "I still have some combat strength left. Continue attacking, don't let them escape."
"Okay." Lothaire gripped his dagger tightly, his eyes sharp.
In the time when many people were not paying attention, the face of the Pugilist was quietly taking shape.
