The spectators in every spaceship stopped chatting and stared at the blue teleportation gate that suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
The wormhole-like teleportation gate continued to expand as though there was no limit. The largest spaceship on the battlefield was the armed satellite base of the Black Star Corps, and the size of the teleportation gate exceeded the size of the satellite base. The radars of all the spaceships buzzed as they detected the rapidly rising energy waves.
The next moment, a majestic, enormous castle slowly squeezed out of the teleportation gate, wrapped in a colorful magic shield. The spherical translucent shield was covered with countless runic circles made of light patterns. The complicated magic circles looked as gorgeous as decorations and were flickering at a breathing rate, constantly absorbing the dark energy of the universe to refine energy for the castle.
The Hidden Red Robe Abbey's treasure — the Palace of Hidden Spells!
"Austin is here!"
"He actually teleported his base here. That's too high profile."
"Is he here to watch the battle or to help one side?"
Although the first to arrive was the only Beyond Grade A in the Shattered Star Ring who had nothing to do with this battle, the spectators were still excited. Even Austin was here, which meant that five Beyond Grade As would be gathered together for the first time. It was unprecedented!
"This guy is here to join in the fun too?" Ralph was shocked. He was afraid that Austin would come to disrupt the situation.
The commander of the Bloodshed Land troops was Joad, and his heart was also in his throat.
"I wonder if Austin is a friend or foe …"
Joad swallowed. The one who contacted Austin privately was Sisko, so he did not know why Austin was here.
The Palace of Hidden Spells quickly arrived, and the teleportation gate shrunk rapidly, turning into a dot of light and disappearing. Austin's base was a Universal Treasure Beyond Grade A Mage Tower. He had carved a large number of space teleportation arrays, which allowed him to perform long-distance teleportation through Dimension Travel.
Countless Mages living in the Palace of Hidden Spells walked out of the castle, came to the open platforms, and gathered to watch the battle. Austin led the Forbidden Sorcerer troops and appeared above the Palace of Hidden Spells, hovering in the air. He controlled the Palace of Hidden Spells to fly to a good position at the edge of the battlefield while observing the endless group of spaceships with interest.
"Tsk, why am I the first to arrive? These youngsters nowadays have no concept of time at all." Austin's chubby little hand held his chin as he lamented.
He had rejected both parties' requests to form an alliance. This time, he had specially come to watch the battle. In order to watch the show comfortably, he had even moved his hometown here. It could be said that he was a high-end, grand, and high-class shut-in.
While countless people were whispering to each other and guessing Austin's purpose for coming, a commotion was spreading at the edge of the fleet far away.
A huge fleet appeared and headed toward the battlefield. When the spectators saw the insignia of this fleet, they were all shocked and hurriedly drove their spaceships to make way.
The outer armor of the spaceships of this fleet was engraved with an emblem that everyone in the universe knew. It was the national emblem of the universal civilization, the Arcane Church!
The Arcane Church also came!
This was a part of the Arcane Church's garrison in the Shattered Star Ring. The small frigates were all standard ships of the Arcane Church, mainly in the shape of a disc. They were very thin, black, and dark purple, with matrix-like patterns engraved on them. There were three huge hollow holes in the hull of the ship, which were distributed in a triangular shape. A red and black ball of dark energy was floating in each hole, which was extremely dense. It was both an energy furnace and an annihilation weapon.
The large flagship was in the shape of a butterfly, with a sphere in the center and hundreds of pairs of butterfly wings connected to the sides. These butterfly wings were currently in a retracted state, stacked together. It looked like there was only one pair. Although the material was metal, it was some kind of alloy with extremely good ductility, soft and light like cloth. If it entered combat mode, these butterfly wings would all open and slide along the surface of the sphere in the center, turning into the shape of a sun.
This Arcane Church fleet entered the battlefield without any obstructions. A spaceship flew out, and the hatch opened. It was Sisko, the second Beyond Grade A to arrive.
He floated in front of the Arcane Church's fleet and stared at the Purple Crystal fleet and Section Zero in the distance. Although his size was as small as a grain of sand compared to the huge fleet, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
The countless people watching the battle sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Sisko is here!"
"The Arcane Church fleet is actually moving together with him. Is this the attitude of a universal civilization?"
The Arcane Church was behind the Star Pupil Protoss, and this was not a big secret. However, a universal civilization had not expressed their stance on this matter in the past few days and suddenly appeared at this time. It was obvious that they wanted to interfere in this battle, and no one was mentally prepared for this.
Be it the spectators at the scene or the audience watching the broadcast, they were all shocked.
They had originally thought that this battle was mainly a conflict between Beyond Grade As, but now that a universal civilization had interfered, the situation instantly became complicated.
"This is not good. The Arcane Church is here to help Sisko!" Ralph immediately acted as if he was facing a great enemy.
This Arcane Church fleet was extremely powerful and was enough to fight against Purple Crystal and Section Zero. Furthermore, this was a universal civilization, so they did not dare to make a move.
On the other side, Joad could not help but feel apprehensive.
Originally, the Star Pupil Protoss race was too far away and did not send any reinforcements. Almost everyone thought that Sisko had come alone. However, the appearance of the Arcane Church made Sisko the strongest person present. Because of the special status of a universal civilization, all the organizations present kept quiet out of fear.
However, before everyone could accept the changes in the situation, another wave of waves rose up, and another fleet descended.
Seeing who it was, every spectator was dumbfounded.
Red Empire!
Another Universal Civilization?!
The spaceship technology of the Red Empire was very different from the Arcane Church. The spaceships of the Arcane Church had a magical style, while the spaceships of the Red Empire had a heavy industrial style. The spaceships of the spaceships were filled with the beauty of machinery and steel. Just looking at them from afar made one feel pressured.
The Red Empire fleet squeezed into the center of the battlefield and hovered beside Klent, facing the Amethyst Civilization together with the Arcane Church fleet. It looked like they were here to help the Tyrant.
More than ten days ago, Zoel had agreed to the request of the Klent upper echelons to send troops to help the Tyrant. Seeing that his backer was here, Joad also relaxed. He looked at the Black Star Corps with a cold smile.
Do you see that, little brother? Do you have a backer?
We have two here!
On the other side, in the Star Diamond Grade flagship, Ralph slammed his hands on the table. His face was pale, and his knees were weak.
He did not expect the situation to turn out like this. The current situation was not only bad but also hopeless.
If a conflict really broke out later, how were they going to fight against two universal civilizations with their weak arms and legs?
At this moment, the countless spectators who were in a daze finally regained their senses. Their hearts were filled with shock.
"The Red Empire and the Arcane Church are both here!"
"Two universal civilizations are standing on the opposite side of Black Star?"
"Black Star only has the Amethyst Civilization as his backer. It looks a little too pitiful …"
"A new Beyond Grade A actually has to face such a situation. He's probably in for a bad time."
In everyone's eyes, the current situation was clearly two universal civilizations against Black Star. The alliance between the Tyrant and Star Pupil was too strong, and Black Star's situation took a turn for the worse.
Countless people could not help but worry for Black Star. They became more and more pessimistic. This indirectly affected the various betting stations. The Tyrant's bets rose crazily. Originally, the betting companies wanted to stop the bets after Black Star and the Tyrant appeared, but now, they were so scared that they immediately shut down the bets.
In the Black Star Corps fleet, the millions of players had their hearts in their mouths. This was the first time they had seen a Universal Civilization at the peak of the galaxy, but the other party was the enemy of their own faction.
"The Army Commander looks like he's in for a bad time …" Maple Moon clasped her hands together nervously.
Mad Blade could not help but worry and clench his fists.
Although the Black Star Corps was the main faction in the hearts of the players, under the influence of the three versions, the players had long established the impression that the Universal Civilizations were the overlords of the galaxy. Originally, many of the players were rather optimistic about this battle, but the current situation made them unable to laugh. The situation was not good.
Many of them were shaken. The future version would most likely revolve around the Universal Civilizations, but now, the Black Star Corps had become the enemy of the Universal Civilizations. This was not a good sign.
On the other hand, Summer Night Flower on the Bloodshed Land's side was filled with joy.
The reason he had high hopes for the Bloodshed Land was because this organization had a way to rise and could be used as a springboard to join the Red Empire. Above the Black Star Corps, only the Amethyst Civilization could not be compared. At this moment, the appearance of the Red Empire fleet was like a shot of adrenaline, and Summer Night Flower regained a lot of confidence in his conjecture.
"Do you see that? This is the limitation of faction development that I was talking about. I've emphasized since the beginning that you can't be confused by the benefits in front of you like the Black Star Corps players. You have to have a long-term vision like me to make the right choice." Summer Night Flower became lively again and spoke to the players around him with a smile.
At the same time, in the flagship of the Black Star Corps, the officers all had solemn expressions, and no one spoke.
Lagi sighed and broke the silence. "Sigh, it seems like I'm going to die here today …"
In the past, there would always be people who would tease Lagi about his depression, but now, all the officers pursed their lips, and no one replied.
Even the officers could not help but become pessimistic.
They had not forgotten that their Army Commander was going to face two challenges!
Even if they survived the Tyrant, there was still Sisko coming up to force Black Star to hand over the Evolution Cube. No matter how they thought about it, they felt that Han Xiao's best choice was to admit defeat and hand over the Evolution Cube. There were two Universal Civilizations eyeing them covetously, and the organizations behind them far exceeded theirs.
They could not think of any reason why the army would forcefully keep the Evolution Cube.
"If he insists …" A Calamity Grade officer could not help but speak.
"Shut up." Sylvia glared at him. "What we have to do is follow the Army Commander's decision. What are you trying to say?"
Everyone looked at each other. Other than Herlous and the others who had the most experience, most of the officers who had joined the army later prayed in their hearts.
"I hope Black Star doesn't lose his mind …"
At this time, a Bloodshed Land spaceship flew over from afar and arrived at the center of the battlefield. Heber had finally arrived.
His mountain-like body was wearing heavy armor as he floated in the center of the battlefield. All the radars of the spaceships detected the terrifying energy boiling in his body, as though he was a walking supernova.
Heber turned around and glanced at Sisko, warning him not to disturb his plan.
Psyker's face was expressionless as he retreated some distance.
"The Tyrant is here too. Only Black Star and the Dragon Emperor are left."
"Sigh, they're here."
The spectators hurriedly looked over and saw a Black Star fleet escorting Floating Dragon Island toward them. As Floating Dragon Island could not travel that fast, Han Xiao and Ames were the last to arrive.
The surrounding spaceships all made way for the enormous Floating Dragon Island to pass through and enter the battlefield smoothly.
"Everyone is finally here!" Everyone was energized.
Ames slowly rose into the air and flew above Floating Dragon Island. At this time, Han Xiao also flew out from the main ship. The two of them faced off against Heber and Sisko from afar. Not far away was Austin, who was watching the show.
Black Star had filled in the gap of the Mechanic class. The five Beyond Grade As of the Shattered Star Ring happened to be Supers of different classes. The countless spectators suddenly felt a sense of ritual, as though they were the witnesses.
Han Xiao turned around and exchanged glances with Ames. They nodded to each other. Then, he glanced at the crowd, and his mouth could not help but twitch.
"Why are there so many people, and they're so close? Aren't they afraid that we'll randomly kill a few lucky spectators?"
Han Xiao raised his head and glanced at the Palace of Hidden Spells. He had nothing to say to this old man, so he shook his head and looked at Heber.
After sizing him up, he connected to the Tyrant's communicator, and his voice sounded in Heber's armor.
"I'm here. Little Ty-Ty, how do you want to fight?"
"… What did you call me?" Heber did not react in time.
"Heh, I'll call you whatever I want." Han Xiao raised his brows and chuckled.
Heber could not be bothered to reply and said condescendingly, "Black Star, I've had high hopes for you since more than ten years ago. It proves that my eyes were right. Unfortunately … you rejected my invitation and made the wrong decision. I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it."
Han Xiao curled his lips. "Don't say such useless things. Didn't you want to use me to establish your authority today?"
"That's right." Heber did not hide anything. "You were able to survive until now because you didn't have any value to me in the past. You didn't disappoint me and kept your life until today so that I can use your blood to color my throne."
After reaching the Beyond Grade A realm, only by killing those of the same level would one be able to gain a greater reputation in the galaxy. This was the best way to increase one's status, and this had always been the Tyrant's goal. In his eyes, as long as his reputation grew, there would be an endless stream of talents joining him.
However, the other three Beyond Grade As in the Shattered Star Ring were not easy to deal with, and there was no reason for him to attack. Even Ames, whose abilities were countered by him, had top-notch survival abilities. Thus, he decided to raise a Beyond Grade A enemy and kill him before he could grow up. He would step on the enemy's corpse and establish his name as the Tyrant.
And Han Xiao was the target he had chosen.
Since he likes to raise pigs so much, be careful not to be killed by them … Han Xiao could not help but shake his head.
At this time, a new notification popped up on the interface.
You have triggered the Grade S mission ['Tyrant' Heber]!
Mission Introduction: Beyond Grade As are the top experts standing at the peak of the galaxy. They have unparalleled strength, and Heber is one of them. Are you sure you want to fight him?
Mission Requirements: Last as long as possible in the hands of Heber. (Combat mode is unlimited. You can only leave combat for a maximum of thirty minutes. If you exceed this limit, the mission will enter the final phase. There is no limit to the number of times you can leave combat.)
Reward: This mission reward is in stages. You will receive a corresponding reward for every requirement you meet. (Only one percent of the time you leave combat will be counted into the judgment time.)
Last for 10 seconds: 10000 Experience
Last for 30 seconds: 23000 Experience
Last for 1 minute: 45000 Experience
Last for 2 minutes: 70000 Experience
Last for 3 minutes: 90000 Experience, + 1 Legendary Point
…
Last for 7.5 minutes: [Character Summon Card: 'Tyrant' Heber], 300000 Experience
…
Last for 20 minutes: Randomly draw a talent or ability from the Tyrant, 850000 Experience, + 1 Legendary Point
"It's actually such a mission." Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
A Beyond Grade A was a true big boss, an insurmountable mountain. Even if the players had his current level, they would not be able to defeat a Beyond Grade A with a full set of Molding Talents. The only difference was how long they could last. In the later versions of his previous life, there were also players who challenged a Beyond Grade A, and some of them had a chance of triggering a special Grade S mission. The reward would be given according to how long the players could last in the hands of the boss.
In his previous life, it was extremely difficult for most players to last even a minute in a head-on battle with a Beyond Grade A. The only way was to leave combat and kite. Because only one percent of the time left combat was counted, this meant that each time they left combat, they would only gain eighteen seconds of judgment time. To the players, if they wanted to complete the requirement of 'lasting twenty minutes', they would have to leave combat more than sixty times and not be caught by a Beyond Grade A within thirty minutes. In other words, they would have to stall a Beyond Grade A for a total of thirty hours.
Han Xiao had also challenged a Beyond Grade A before, and his best result was only a few minutes.
However, the evaluation of the interface mission had always been based on the strength of the players, and Han Xiao was the only exception.
He did not even need to leave combat; he could directly face the boss head-on!
With his endurance, twenty minutes was just enough for him to warm up!
Han Xiao exhaled, and the blue-gold Mechanical Force suddenly exploded. He opened his arms, clenched his fists, and punched the sides of his body as though he was holding lightning.
A secondary dimension that had been completely explored in the past ten days suddenly opened up behind him!
Looking around, it was filled with the black mass of the Mech Legion. There seemed to be no end to them!
Emperor Mechanic — Secondary Dimension Army!
The Emperor personally led the army into battle!
Seeing this, Heber twisted his neck, and flames erupted from his body like a supernova, dazzling like a star.
The next moment, the Mech Legion surged out and welcomed a star-like figure!
