"The Arcane Church really went all out this time, squeezing out a lot of my trump cards …"
Han Xiao got the mechanical assistant to take out a few dozen tubes of special nutrition paste from the fridge and placed them on the table. He grabbed a tube, casually opened it with his teeth, and poured it into his stomach. As soon as it entered his stomach, it was broken down and absorbed without any aftertaste. After the battle earlier, although his injuries recovered quickly, his stamina was greatly depleted. His boiling blood had just cooled down, and every cell in his body was transmitting the desire of hunger to his brain through nerve signals. Eating some nutrition paste would speed up the recovery of his stamina.
The most dangerous stage had passed, but Han Xiaoxin knew that the battle was not over yet. The Arcane Church descended from the sky through the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device of the Radiant Federation, but when they returned, they would have to take a spaceship and cross the universe. With the dynasty's personality, there was no way they would let the six Beyond Grade As of the Arcane Church go home … oh, five of them.
Therefore, when Ty-Ty and the others arrived, the roles changed. It was their turn to chase Sagman and the others. Under the pursuit of hundreds of millions of dynasty soldiers in the Flickering World, it would not be so easy for the people from the Arcane Church to successfully escape.
Even if they escaped from the Flickering World, the Shattered Star Ring was still waiting for them. That was the headquarters of the Klent Kingdom, Bloodshed Land, and Black Star Corps. Having received such a huge gift, Han Xiao was not stingy at all. He had already made up his mind to mobilize all the forces of the Black Star Corps and his deep network in the Shattered Star Ring to return the favor.
While thinking, Han Xiao looked at the interface and calculated the losses that the Arcane Church had caused him this time.
Leveling up during the EXP penalty period had consumed a large amount of EXP. Even with Han Xiao's foresight, he could not help but feel his heart ache at the amount of EXP lost. A 40% EXP loss was almost half of his EXP. As a thrifty and simple person, he did not like to waste EXP. If he used this EXP loss to upgrade his blueprints and skills, he could obtain a lot of Potential Points.
In terms of Character Summon Cards, Reynold, Aurora, and Ames' Character Summon Cards had all been used up. EsGod and Heber only had one Character Summon Card left. These were all powerful trump cards, especially EsGod's [Esper Silence] Character Summon Card. This was the nemesis of EsGod. One less Character Summon Card meant that he had one less trump card against EsGod.
Furthermore, EsGod was the winner of this attack. Because of the Arcane Church's actions, he had no choice but to satisfy EsGod's needs and force EsGod to retreat from the battlefield. With the nourishment of the Evolution Energy, EsGod would become even more difficult to deal with. He might even be able to touch the threshold of the so-called 'higher level'. This would affect his plan to deal with EsGod. His plan was disrupted, and he was a little annoyed.
"However, the mission this time at least rewarded me with three Unknown Character Summon Cards. Together with the two Blank Character Summon Cards and one Skill Upgrade Card that I randomly drew, I should be able to make up for some of the losses." Han Xiao shook his head.
His mechanical army also suffered great losses. A large number of mechanical soldiers had died, and it would take some time to replenish them. On the other hand, because Han Xiao purposely did not allow them to participate in direct battles between Beyond Grade As, there were not many casualties.
Compared to other mechanical armies, mechanical lives with the ability to grow had greater potential. It would be too much of a pity if they were destroyed in such a one-sided battle. After all, they were little lives that he had painstakingly sown. For this, he had even experienced the feeling of kidney deficiency many times. It was enough to let his mechanical army be the cannon fodder.
In a sense, this battle had started because of Han Xiao. If any Beyond Grade As died because of this, the dynasty would definitely be unhappy. Thankfully, with Austin's help, they were only injured and did not die. Han Xiao could also answer to this.
This way, he would owe Austin a huge favor, which was not entirely a bad thing. Sometimes, owing someone a favor could actually improve one's relationship.
Austin was originally a neutral party, but after this battle, he had provoked the Arcane Church, so it would be very difficult for him to continue being a bystander. Although he would not go as far as to immediately surrender to the dynasty, after this incident spread, all the organizations in the universe would mark him as a member of the dynasty, and he would not be able to keep a low profile like before.
Han Xiao could not help but think of Sisko, and his expression became a little strange.
"In that case, Austin has become close to the dynasty. Ames is my ally, so she can be considered half a friend of the dynasty. Heber is also a member of the dynasty. Including me, four of the five Beyond Grade As in the Shattered Star Ring are related to the dynasty. Sisko will probably have to keep a low profile in the Shattered Star Ring in the future."
With Sisko being targeted, the Star Pupil Protoss would also be under more pressure, but he would not be subject to the dynasty's military retaliation. After entering the era of peace, the entire world was connected to the Internet. The citizens of the advanced civilizations had broadened their horizons and gained more perspectives. Therefore, in terms of social evaluation, the stronger civilizations gradually lost the legitimacy to use violence against the weaker civilizations. They gradually lost the absolute support that the citizens had for their own civilization during the exploration era.
Now, the Universal Civilizations would at most fight with each other. At the very least, they would pick on the Supercluster Civilizations as their opponents. They rarely used military force against the weaker civilizations, unless someone questioned and challenged their dominance. Although the 'Universal Civilization Contact Treaty' was something that only allowed the state to do whatever they wanted, if it was not necessary, they were not willing to destroy the authority of this treaty.
[Cause and Effect] completed!
Due to your performance, you have received 450 billion EXP, 3 Random Rewards, [Character Summon Card – 'Photon' Sagman], [Character Summon Card – 'Star Pupil' Sisko], [Character Summon Card – EsGod].
Character Summon Card – 'Photon' Sagman: [Light Energy Particle Flow – Infiltration] – Releases a powerful light energy particle beam with high penetrating, explosive, and burning damage. The light energy will continuously cause damage over time and inflict [Energy Interference] and [Energy Suppression] statuses on the target. When the enemy uses energy attacks, there will be a decrease in power, a decrease in hit rate, and so on. Usage Limit: 0/5
Character Summon Card – 'Star Pupil' Sisko: [Psychokinesis – Wall of Heart] – After being weakened by Psychic Resistance for 4.7 seconds, the actual damage will be reduced by 85%, and the target will be immune to all mind control skills. If the attacker is a Psychic, the INT and MYS attributes of both parties will be determined. If one of the attributes is higher than the attacker, 45% of the theoretical damage will be reflected. If both attributes are higher than the attacker, 90% of the theoretical damage will be reflected. If both attributes are lower than the attacker, there will be no reflection. Usage Limit: 0/3
Defeating the Arcane Church fleet and obtaining the highest EXP reward was within Han Xiao's expectations. The effects of the three Character Summon Cards were not bad. This time, he was not lucky enough to get EsGod's [Esper Silence]. However, [Esper Ability – Copy] was not bad either. It was equivalent to three blank Character Summon Cards for Espers. EsGod had a messy set of abilities, so it was already Fu Ding's miracle that he was able to get this.
You have received 1 Legendary Point.
"Enemy of Ethereal, the highest level of Universe Legendary Point … Looks like this will become a new nickname." Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
Every Beyond Grade A had a series of nicknames, representing the legendary things they had done in the past. Han Xiao now had nicknames like 'Indestructible Body', 'Indestructible Black Star', 'Black Star Corps Captain', and so on. After this battle spread out, the galactic residents in the universe would probably give him another 'Enemy of Ethereal'.
The Arcane Church was aggressive and wanted to kill him, but he had sealed their Universal Treasure and even captured their Beyond Grade A combatant. At this point, the enmity between the two sides had deepened.
The significance of capturing a Beyond Grade A alive was extraordinary. Back then, Heber had challenged him to a battle in order to obtain a similar result. Unfortunately, he did not succeed, and he had obtained such a result before Heber. This way, his deterrence in the universe would be completely different, and he would obtain a higher status … He felt that Ty-Ty would be very envious.
Speaking of which, Heber was rushing back to help. Thinking of the expression Heber might have, Han Xiao could not help but chuckle.
The notification on the interface also showed that the dungeon [Flickering World — Planet Lighthouse Battle] had been created. This time, there were a total of eleven Beyond Grade As participating in the battle. Other than war, such a scene rarely happened, and it was enough to shock the entire universe. Although it happened in the Flickering World and had not been announced to the outside world, it was foreseeable that this news would be like a bomb that would explode the entire universe.
With such a huge impact, it was not strange for a dungeon to be created. Unfortunately, with the intensity and level of this battle, the purpose of this dungeon was only to provide an opportunity for the players to see the world.

[This seems to be a Beyond Grade A mechanic who insists on being a meat shield.]
"My Energy Rank is almost 50,000 …" Han Xiao stroked his chin. He still remembered that when he had just reached the Beyond Grade A realm, his Energy Rank seemed to be around 43,000. Later on, he had learned the [Heber Stellar Furnace Training Technique] and the Ultimate Knowledge [Mechanical Life Tinder], and his Energy Rank had increased by quite a bit.
This was especially true for the upper limit of his energy. Heber's training method had increased his energy by more than 16,000. When he had just reached the Beyond Grade A realm, his energy limit had only been around 50,000. Now, it had reached 80,000, rising from Lv.15 to Lv.17. He had obtained two new layers of attribute bonuses. The higher his energy level, the more attribute bonuses he would receive with each increase.
He hadn't neglected [Radiation Absorption] either, adding a few more attributes to it.
"The next Race Evolution will be at level 300, and the level limit of a Lord Mechanic is also level 40. Similarly, I will only be able to advance at level 300. In that case, only the level 280 Promotion Mission will stop me."
Han Xiao pondered.
The upper limit of the [Emperor Mechanic] class was level 35, and the upper limit of the [Lord Mechanic] class was five levels higher.
Apostle, Emperor, and Lord. In the [Lord Mechanic] class, the advantages of the previous two classes were combined and further enhanced.
Similar to the previous two Class Advancements, the Virtual Technology skills and talents were enhanced. This time, the effects were increased by sixty percent!
There were four new abilities that he directly obtained:
Talent [Machinery Lord]: + 300% Machinery Affinity, + 200% Virtual Intrusion and Defense Efficiency, and a certain change in the nature of his Mechanical Force. While circulating his energy, he would also be able to cast his consciousness, obtaining the so-called 'Lord Qualification'. The introduction did not go into detail, only stating that this was the prerequisite for some new abilities of the Lord Mechanic class.
Ability [Lord Grade Machinery Affinity]: a series of familiar Machinery Affinity skills. It was one level higher than the 'Emperor Grade', increasing Machinery Affinity by 190%.
Ability [Apostle Life Creation]: similar to [Emperor's Gift], it was also a special enhancement for a single mechanical target. However, the effects were quite different. [Emperor's Gift] could only be used three times on the same target, and there was no limit to how many targets it could be used on. [Apostle Life Creation] was different. Its effect was to use Mechanical Force that contained the so-called 'Power of the Lord' to turn a mechanical soldier into an 'Apostle Weapon' under the Lord.
The enhancement was extremely terrifying. It could basically turn a normal unit into a mini boss unit. If the foundation was better, it was even possible for it to turn into a super boss unit.
With such a terrifying enhancement effect, [Apostle Life Creation] had a limit to the number of Apostle Weapons. When it was raised to the max level, he could have twelve Apostle Weapons at the same time. The Power of the Lord in their bodies could be retrieved at will, and the number of slots could be changed. This ability could also be enhanced by various skills. Every time he broke through the limit by one level, he would obtain a new Apostle Weapon slot.
The last ability was [Lord's Descent]. This was a long-range combat ability. Through the special Mechanical Force of the Lord Mechanic, he could project his will, mind, and strength onto a mechanical soldier, turning this mechanical soldier into an existence similar to a doppelgänger. It would be able to share a lot of the attributes, abilities, and talents of the main body. It was as if the main body of the Lord had descended, possessing the strength of a Beyond Grade A Super.
This meant that while Han Xiao was sitting at home, other than providing Mechanical Force blessings to the long-range troops through the Quantum Infinite Distance Transmission channel, he could also choose an underling to use this move personally. The restriction was that it could only be used on one target at a time.
The introduction also stated that if [Lord's Descent] was used frequently on the same target, there was a chance of forming a soul connection.
"These four abilities are all very reliable, especially [Lord's Descent] …"
Han Xiao rolled his eyes and thought, "After today's battle, there should be fewer people looking for trouble with my main body in the future. My combat style will probably start to focus on long-range combat. This ability should be of great help to me."
After summarizing his losses and rewards, Han Xiao received a call from Tarrokov, saying that the Ruler of Uranril wanted to speak to him personally.
Even a Beyond Grade A ally would not be able to meet the Ruler of the dynasty just because they wanted to. Since Uranril wanted to talk to him, it was clear that his results had surprised her.
Furthermore, there were still some problems that needed to be discussed. The mission to kill Sagman and the others also needed to be discussed.
"Got it. I'll wait for her online."
Han Xiao took out his communicator. His mind was filled with thoughts as he waited for the call to be connected.
The actual reward was the most tempting. He had risked his life to make such a huge contribution, and he wanted to obtain new dynasty knowledge. Uranril should not reject him, right?
