The next moment, EsGod's figure flashed, and he directly teleported into the battlefield of the ten Beyond Grade As. The moment he appeared, the expressions of both sides changed.
The pressure on Milizaus and the other two multiplied. EsGod had arrived so quickly. It had not even been five minutes yet.
The Beyond Grade As of the Arcane Church also raised their guard, except for one person. Sisko, who was bombarding the Palace of Hidden Spells with his psychic energy, suddenly opened his seven eyes wide with shock.
"Why are you here?"
Due to the grudge between them, the Arcane Church hid the fact that EsGod was participating in this battle from him. Now that his enemy had appeared, Sisko's expression changed drastically.
EsGod turned to look at him and revealed a faint smile. However, in Sisko's eyes, it was no different from a provocation.
"Don't be rash," Sagman said through psychic communication with a deep voice. "EsGod is our temporary ally."
Sisko was shocked, and his tone turned cold. "So, you guys knew about this beforehand?"
The other five were silent. This was an order from the Arcane Church. It was indeed not right to hide this information from their allies.
"Dylan, you knew about this too?" Sisko snorted coldly.
"Sorry, I only knew about this a moment before we left …"
Dylan did not want to face the questioning of his good friend, so he vented his frustration on his attacks. He clasped his hands together and aimed at the Palace of Hidden Spells. Water flowed around his arms and turned into a high-energy blue laser under the activation of his Esper Ability. It shot out along his arms and bombarded the colorful defensive formation of the Palace of Hidden Spells.
"Sisko, the mission is more important. We'll talk about other things later," Sagman interrupted.
Sisko's eyes darkened. He stopped looking at EsGod and focused on his attacks.
The battle was in its climax, and he had to end it quickly. Now was not the time to seek revenge. He had to think for his race, so he naturally could not disrupt the Arcane Church's plan at this juncture. Thus, he held his nose and endured.
Seeing this, EsGod also retracted his gaze. To be honest, although Sisko was one of the top figures in the entire universe, he was nothing in his eyes. Those Beyond Grade As he had killed in the past were not much weaker than Sisko.
Of the ten Beyond Grade As present, only Milizaus and Sagman were worthy of his attention. As for Austin, he had only heard of his name but had never met him before.
This was especially so for Milizaus. Only this old dragon had a record of killing a Beyond Grade A Super like him. EsGod had fought him several times and knew how strong this old dragon was. Thus, when he saw Milizaus' injuries, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes.
"This wound was caused by a one-time attack. The Arcane Church must have used a special weapon to heavily injure him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured so quickly." EsGod narrowed his eyes and became even more wary of the Arcane Church. He was worried that he would be betrayed after this.
However, at this moment, he was still on the same side as the Arcane Church. Observing the battlefield, EsGod could not see Black Star or his Mech Legion. With a confused expression, he used his Esper ability to connect to Sagman's consciousness and asked.
"Black Star isn't here. Did you guys let him escape?"
Sagman had just shot out a platinum energy attack, which penetrated Milizaus' magic defense and exploded on his dragon back. Hearing this, he said with a deep voice, "Black Star has left the battle and is hiding in the Palace of Hidden Spells. I don't know what he's up to."
"Hiding?" EsGod paused and asked, "Are you sure the Evolution Cube is with him?"
"It's confirmed. He just took it out and used it."
"Good."
EsGod nodded. The next moment, he appeared above the Palace of Hidden Spells and stepped on the surface of the defensive magic formation. When the magic formation was activated, it did not affect him at all.
Austin, who was sitting at the top of the Palace of Hidden Spells, looked up and saw EsGod's feet. The two of them were separated by a thick defensive magic formation.
Austin's eyes narrowed. He opened his arms, and the dozens of magic books around him started flipping on their own.
Whoosh!
As the pages flipped, colorful magic runes were born and quickly landed on the Palace of Hidden Spells. Following the magic circuits everywhere, they were instantly transmitted to the control core of the Palace of Hidden Spells. This was how the Palace of Hidden Spells operated.
The next moment, the defensive magic formation thousands of meters under EsGod's feet suddenly changed color. Magic energy exploded, and a fountain of colorful magic energy burst out from under his feet and swallowed EsGod.
Austin was looking up at the result of this attack when an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ears. It was like thunder in his heart.
"Magician Austin? You're quite strong."
EsGod was standing behind him without him knowing. He used Energy Refraction, Plasma, Dimension Gap, Teleportation, and many other Esper Abilities at the same time to directly pass through the defensive magic formation of the Palace of Hidden Spells that the six people from the Arcane Church could not break through! EsGod's strength was not just his strength but also his rich Esper Abilities.
"Sh * t!" Austin was shocked. Although there were many restrictions inside the Palace of Hidden Spells, their defense was not as strong as the defensive magic formation outside. If EsGod slipped in, the Palace of Hidden Spells would be broken through from the inside. He would not be able to stop him!
Boom!
The defensive magic formation was shattered by EsGod, who had activated [Strength Esper Ability — Star Toss]. Austin's small body flew out like a cannonball.
The red-robed Mages around Austin hurriedly cast their spells, wanting to stop EsGod. However, the next moment, their bodies collapsed, and they turned into dust one after another.
Looking at the strange way their companions died, the Mages further away were all frightened. Seeing that they were about to turn into dust, they hurriedly retreated, not daring to get close to EsGod.
EsGod put down his hand, and a satisfied look flashed through his eyes. He had used the Esper Ability that came from Ashes. Using it against targets weaker than him was simply a god-tier AOE Esper Ability.
Then, EsGod activated his Esper Ability and instantly scanned the entire Palace of Hidden Spells. However, he was stunned.
He did not sense Han Xiao's energy waves. His senses were blocked by the Spacetime Amber.
This situation made him frown.
"Where did he go … hmm?"
Austin stabilized himself in the distance. He would not be so easily injured by EsGod. Remembering the mission of stalling for time, he decisively counterattacked and interfered with EsGod.
Boom boom boom!
The two of them immediately started fighting inside the Palace of Hidden Spells, and the shockwaves destroyed many buildings.
Although Austin was not EsGod's match, if he went all out, he could still stall EsGod for some time. However, the wounds on his body were increasing rapidly, and he could not be bothered to control the Palace of Hidden Spells.
Without Austin's control, the operation of the Palace of Hidden Spells slowed down. Although the red-robed Mages and Forbidden Sorcerers who were still alive tried their best to control the Palace of Hidden Spells, they could not hold on at all with so many Beyond Grade As surrounding them.
Kacha kacha!
The defensive formation shattered layer by layer, finally reaching a critical point and exploding. A huge hole appeared on the defensive barrier of the Palace of Hidden Spells, and a powerful suction force came from it. The Palace of Hidden Spells was a sealed space, and all the air inside was sucked out.
"It's finally broken!"
Sagman hurriedly rushed in, afraid that EsGod would snatch the Evolution Cube first.
At this time, before anyone could observe the situation, a familiar energy wave gushed out from within the Palace of Hidden Spells!
A tower in the Palace of Hidden Spells shattered, and a figure shot out. A fist rapidly enlarged in EsGod's eyes!
Whoosh! Bang!
The fist landed on EsGod's raised arm. The huge impact passed through EsGod's body and formed an air cannon, exploding into the defensive circle of the Palace of Hidden Spells and turning into a hurricane.
This figure was Han Xiao. His fist was pressed against EsGod's arm, and they clashed again and again.
Feeling the shocking force coming from his arm, EsGod raised his brows with a surprised expression.
"Compared to the last time we fought, you've become much stronger."
The last time they fought in the Central Galaxy, he had an overwhelming advantage over Black Star. However, the energy level that Black Star displayed now made him look at him in a different light. The improvement was too obvious.
What EsGod did not know was that the last time they fought, Han Xiao was only at level 240, stepping on the threshold of Beyond Grade A. Now that he was at level 260, his strength had increased significantly. However, at this time, Han Xiao had not advanced.
However, he had already left the battle just now, and the Promotion Mission was finally displayed as [Completed]. He could complete it at any time!
"That was close, so close."
After wrestling with EsGod, Han Xiaoxin heaved a sigh of relief. EsGod had entered the battle early, causing the situation to worsen rapidly. Thankfully, this guy had spent some time observing the situation and was then held back by Austin. This allowed him to leave the battle for five minutes.
Seeing that the two of them were in close contact, Han Xiaoxin hesitated for a moment and suppressed the urge to use [EsGod Character Summon Card — Esper Silence].
Although he had already leveled up and could advance at any time, the level difference between him and EsGod was still there. The effect of Esper Silence depended on the level, energy, and luck of both parties. If the duration was too short, the damage done to EsGod would be limited.
The six Beyond Grade As of the Arcane Church were not made of wood. Although EsGod and the Arcane Church were wary of each other, Sagman and the others would not be so short-sighted as to watch their reinforcements suffer heavy losses. Even if they were unwilling, they would still protect EsGod. Under such circumstances, using this Character Summon Card would only be a waste.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao did not continue to fight with EsGod. He opened the secondary dimensional army box again and released the Mech Army that he had stored earlier.
Promotion!
LV 260 Promotion Mission completed!
+ 45 END. 1 END = 355 Health = 365 Stamina
In an instant, his cells changed drastically, and his body was turned upside down. Intense pain exploded, hitting every nerve.
Every Promotion required time to transform, and it would not be completed instantly. Thankfully, Han Xiao was already familiar with this kind of pain. As a Mechanic, he relied on his mechanical army to fight most of the time, so he could still fight through the pain.
EsGod sharply noticed the changes in Han Xiao, and his eyes narrowed.
This guy's energy fluctuation is increasing in the midst of battle?
The other Beyond Grade As also noticed Han Xiao's abnormality and were surprised. They were not unfamiliar with this situation. Wasn't this the evolution of life form?
"Is this what you mean by the eruption?"
Austin was stunned. He did not expect Han Xiao's eruption to be a breakthrough in life form.
Every Beyond Grade A had experienced such a life form evolution many times, but their evolution was done slowly, and some even took decades. However, to evolve in the midst of battle and compress years of evolution into such a short period of time, they had never seen such a thing in their lives!
"Could this be the reason why Black Star broke the record of becoming a Beyond Grade A Super? Is this his special talent?! "Everyone was bewildered, and they all had such guesses.
A notification popped up on the interface, and Han Xiao quickly chose the Race Evolution option. His talent would be merged into the Black Star Race.
He could only take a quick look at his new talents and abilities during the battle. He was already distracted by the pain of the transformation and could not afford to slack off anymore. He forced himself to focus and continue fighting.
The strength of the Mech Legion had obviously increased, and Han Xiao could feel the pressure from the enemies lessening.
Seven against four, EsGod's participation had made the situation worse. Han Xiao did not expect to turn the situation around with just one Promotion.
The Promotion was to increase the strength of his side and stall for as long as possible. The Arcane Church had six Beyond Grade As and EsGod. His side was at a huge disadvantage, and with such a huge gap in strength, if the enemies did not reveal any flaws, there would be no chance for them to counterattack.
Han Xiaoxin had plenty of tricks up his sleeve, and he would not lose his cool because of the sudden increase in strength.
With such a dangerous situation, he really did not have the capital to be reckless.
There was only one word — stability!
Austin's Palace of Hidden Spells was heavily damaged, and Milizaus was not in a good state. Han Xiao returned to the battlefield and could only take on the role of a meat shield, taking the initiative to block the attacks for his teammates.
His Promotion had increased his tankiness significantly. Together with the Aurora Character Summon Card that he had not been willing to use for many years, Han Xiao took on about half of the enemy's attacks by himself.
Although he was in a passive position, he would be able to hold on for a while.
…
Compared to the main battlefield, the area occupied by the Beyond Grade A combatants was actually very small. While they were fighting, the situation on the main battlefield also changed. First, the outer fleets of Planet Lighthouse returned to provide reinforcements one after another, and the situation gradually stabilized.
However, with the arrival of the Fallen Ark fleet, Tarrokov's fleet was surrounded, and they were once again in a passive position.
The defenders of Planet Lighthouse were constantly being eaten away, and Tarrokov's face was solemn. His eyes never left the 3D map of the battlefield. His brain was calculating rapidly, and he gave out orders one after another, trying his best to minimize the casualties of his troops.
He took some time to take a look at the situation of the Beyond Grade As on both sides and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Black Star's side was holding off the enemy Beyond Grade As. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
The Beyond Grade As were clearly the weakest link of the enemy, and they were the ones most likely to be defeated, yet they were barely holding on. Although Tarrokov was not a Beyond Grade A Super, he could imagine how terrifying the pressure on Black Star's side was.
Clenching his teeth, Tarrokov shouted, "Is there any news of the reinforcements? How long will it take for them to arrive at the stargate entrance?"
The adjutant was extremely busy and immediately went to check the news. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Suddenly, he was overjoyed and excitedly shouted, "Commander, the reinforcements have arrived.
"Commander-in-chief, the reinforcements sent by the two nearest military camps have arrived at the entrance of the stargate. The reinforcements from the border strongholds of Garu, Renault, and the Crown Star Cluster have all been gathered. Also, His Excellency Maximiler, His Excellency Heber, and His Excellency Ravenlaude are about to arrive!"
The reinforcements were finally here!
Tarrokov's eyes sparkled, and he yelled, "Engineering team, immediately assemble the stargate and reactivate the channel. Let the reinforcements in!"
The dynasty fleet immediately changed their formation, using the fleet as the defense line and assembling the portable stargate in the center.
Seeing this, the expression of the commander of the Arcane Church turned ugly. The resistance of the dynasty fleet was stronger than he had imagined. Under the command of Tarrokov, the defense of Planet Lighthouse was extremely resilient. There were many times when the commander of the Arcane Church thought that the dynasty fleet was about to be defeated, but they still managed to hold on.
The situation was the same on the Beyond Grade A battlefield. The four people of the dynasty were too stubborn.
He immediately contacted Sagman and said, "We can't let the dynasty fleet assemble the stargate. You guys hold back the enemy Beyond Grade As and send one or two people to cut into the dynasty's formation and destroy their stargate!"
Sagman was unwilling to give up. Looking at Black Star, who was still alive despite taking huge damage, he clenched his teeth and made a decision.
"Mercer, you and Dylan will go and destroy the dynasty's stargate. We'll hold back the four of them here!"
The two Mages had to control the Palace of Hidden Spells and could not be separated. Sisko was sensing the Evolution Cube and could not leave, and he had to stay behind to hold back Milizaus and EsGod. Thus, he could only send Mercer and Dylan.
Sagman originally wanted to end the battle quickly and get rid of Han Xiao and the others. However, Austin had appeared, and the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter had been sealed by the enemy. At this point, he no longer had the confidence to end the battle quickly. The tenacity of Han Xiao and the others was beyond his expectations.
Since he could not end the battle quickly, destroying the dynasty's stargate became the more important mission. Sagman and the others went from attacking to holding back Black Star and the others, making it impossible for them to stop them from destroying the stargate.
Mercer and Dylan nodded and immediately left the battlefield, charging toward the dynasty's fleet.
With two less opponents, the pressure on Han Xiao and the others was greatly reduced. However, they were not happy but worried. Only reinforcements could turn the situation around. They could not let the enemy destroy the stargate's assembly.
"Now is the time to decide the outcome …"
This thought appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
Han Xiao exchanged energy with EsGod, and his mechanical suit was destroyed. He then changed into his seventh mechanical suit and turned to look at Mercer and Dylan, who had left, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Finally, someone separated!"
