A sharp Pugilist flame slashed out like a beam of light, slicing open an EsGod doppelganger's body and turning it into a cloud of black mist.
Viru's body was covered in flames, and he moved through the battlefield like a meteor. Under the cover of the Mech Legion, he accurately killed EsGod's doppelgangers one after another. There were many wounds on his body, and his condition was clearly not good.
"This guy has too many doppelgangers, and we can't kill them all. He can even create new doppelgangers, so it won't make any difference no matter how many we kill. Instead, we'll be heavily injured if we're careless."
Viru's tone was grave. He raised the weapon in his hand, gritted his teeth, and blocked another EsGod doppelganger's dark matter jet.
On the other side, Sun Hunter controlled the fortress-like cannons and fired thousands of cannons, destroying an EsGod doppelganger with the Energy Deflection Esper Ability. However, his expression was rather ugly, and he replied in the mental communication network, "This battle is too intense.
"This kind of high-intensity battle consumes too much energy. I can't recover energy as quickly as EsGod and Black Star."
The actual combat strength of EsGod's doppelgangers was uneven, and it mainly depended on the Esper Abilities they were given. Furthermore, due to their poor endurance and low tankiness, EsGod's doppelgangers were definitely not a match for a true Beyond Grade A Super. Previously, when EsGod attacked the Star Pupil race, Sisko had easily defeated two EsGod doppelgangers by himself.
However, the situation now was different. The pressure brought by the dozens of EsGod doppelgangers was completely different. It was equivalent to facing dozens of Beyond Grade A Super at the same time, and they could not kill all of them. This was very troublesome.
Being besieged, new wounds kept appearing on everyone's bodies. Other than Han Xiao, the other four had limited recovery abilities. Furthermore, this kind of dangerous battle had greatly depleted their mental and physical strength. Other than Han Xiao, the other four people's condition was inevitably deteriorating.
Han Xiao frowned and controlled the Mech Legion to block the majority of EsGod's doppelgangers. The pressure was immense, and the formation of the Mech Legion was torn apart by the dozens of Beyond Grade A doppelgangers. A large number of mechanical soldiers were smashed into pieces by the attacks of the Beyond Grade As and flew everywhere. They were then reassembled by Han Xiao using the advanced version of [Waste Modification] and thrown into the battlefield.
The mechanical soldiers were not afraid of death. The psionic cannons counterattacked and destroyed the doppelgangers one after another. The efficiency of killing doppelgangers was much higher than the other four.
Luckily, the Mech Legion that had been strengthened many times had better performance and reduced the rate of exhaustion. With the help of four teammates, they could at least fight evenly with EsGod.
However, in terms of endurance, the evolved EsGod was even scarier. As long as he was given enough time, he would be able to wipe out the Mech Legion. Han Xiao had to admit that his chances of winning against EsGod were extremely slim.
However, this was not a one-on-one battle, and he did not need to defeat EsGod alone. His mission was to stall EsGod with his teammates and restrict him to this battlefield until the six of them finished setting up the spacetime lock trap.
Han Xiao was very clear that if the five of them could not handle EsGod's attacks, the ambushers would have no choice but to run out to rescue EsGod. EsGod would most likely turn around and run. At that time, the trap would not be completed and they would not be able to stop EsGod.
Thinking quickly, Han Xiao turned to look at EsGod's main body, which was sitting cross-legged in the void. New doppelgangers were constantly being created from his body and thrown into the battlefield.
After using the doppelganger tactic, EsGod's main body retreated to the side and did not participate in the battle personally. He only watched with interest as the others fought with his doppelgangers.
EsGod did not need to do anything personally. Just his doppelgangers were enough to make five Beyond Grade As miserable. He enjoyed this kind of overwhelming strength.
Sun Hunter and Viru had tried to close in, but EsGod's teleportation prevented them from getting close to him. Even Han Xiao could not hit EsGod's main body. There were many methods that he could not use.
He could only wait until EsGod's teleportation was suppressed by the trap before he had the chance to use his trump card.
However, with his current strength, even if he did not use a Character Summon Card, Han Xiao's own combat strength was enough to last for a long time. After crossing the first threshold, the few talents that he had obtained increased his health to about five million.
Only Lotus Swordsman and the other Psychic could slightly restrain EsGod. Their eyes flashed, and they continuously released invisible psychic attacks that pierced into EsGod's brain like sharp swords, bombarding his mental barrier.
No matter how many doppelgangers EsGod had, he only had one soul. The psychic attacks of the two of them were effective against his main body.
However, EsGod also had the Esper Ability to protect himself and heal the damage to his soul. Although he would suffer from psychic damage, he would not be so easily restrained by the two Psychics.
Because Psychics were a threat to him, EsGod's main target was not Han Xiao, Sun Hunter, or Viru but the two Psychics. Han Xiao had the Apostle Weapons lead the mechanical army to protect the two of them. The battle there was the most intense.
Psionic Prime's spear pierced through the core of EsGod's doppelganger, Mad Sky Hunter bit the head of the doppelganger, Silver Flash shot the target doppelganger, and Giant King Kong used its enormous body covered in Giant God Battlesuit to protect the Psychics and the other Apostle Weapons …
The Apostle Weapons also had the strength of a quasi Beyond Grade A, and they used different weapons to fight against EsGod's doppelgangers.
…
A portion of EsGod's doppelgangers charged into the dynasty and Ethereal fleets, destroying battleships one after another.
One of EsGod's doppelgangers smashed through the shield of a battleship like a meteor, penetrating through the hull from head to tail. The battleship behind him exploded into a ball of blinding light.
This time, countless dark energy annihilation cannons fired from all directions, blasting everything in the area into nothingness. This EsGod doppelganger was destroyed by the surrounding battleships.
"The casualties of the fleet are increasing. With the interference of these EsGod doppelgangers, we won't be able to destroy the Fallen Ark fleet. It's disadvantageous for us if this drags on," the dynasty commander said with a solemn expression.
If the five Beyond Grade As could not stop EsGod, the fleet would be attacked by the Beyond Grade As. EsGod's doppelgangers shuttled through the fleet, causing trouble and seriously interfering with the fleet's battle. This caused the fleet led by Haakisen to barely maintain a balanced battle and not be wiped out by the dynasty and Ethereal fleets.
The Fallen Ark fleet was surrounded in the center, forming a defensive formation with a huge shield to withstand the attacks from all directions. Haakisen commanded the fleet while paying attention to EsGod's battle situation.
"His Excellency EsGod's strength is becoming more and more terrifying." Haakisen's tone was filled with hesitation.
"That's right. To be able to deal with five Beyond Grade As so easily, as expected of EsGod," an adjutant beside him said with a fanatical expression.
Haakisen licked his dry lips and said with a strange tone, "Even five Beyond Grade As can't win against EsGod. This is not even His Excellency EsGod's limit. The three Universal Civilizations sent too few people. We still underestimated him. Tsk tsk."
As he spoke, Haakisen summoned another officer.
"You'll be in command of the fleet now."
"What do you want to do?"
"Hehe, I have other things to do. This is the secret mission His Excellency EsGod gave me."
Haakisen turned around, left the command room, and headed to the cabin where the backup spaceships were stored.
He knew that EsGod was already suspicious of him. When EsGod resolved this crisis, he would most likely be dealt with. EsGod never needed evidence to punish his subordinates.
Furthermore, regardless of whether EsGod could survive this encirclement, Haakisen did not plan to stay by EsGod's side.
…
After a long battle, other than Han Xiao, the four of them were all covered in wounds. The Mech Legion's losses were also increasing, and their condition was deteriorating.
EsGod looked at the few of them and was very satisfied. He sent out a mental message.
"Black Star, do you see this? This is the power you gave me. What do you think?"
Han Xiao was using the amber ball array to block the long-range energy shot by a doppelganger. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "Not much."
EsGod did not mind and continued, "Heh, although I haven't broken through the limit of the Beyond Grade A realm, my current combat strength should be at the peak of the explored universe. The five of you won't be able to fight back at all in front of me."
Hearing this, Sun Hunter fired a shot at EsGod without hesitation, and an energy beam shot toward EsGod.
This time, EsGod did not teleport. He did not move and used his body to take this attack head-on. He activated 'Esper Ability — Black Hole' to absorb a large amount of energy, replenishing his energy and creating more doppelgangers.
However, the remaining power of this energy beam still tore his flesh apart. It was as if he had become a severely burned patient, completely disfigured.
However, the next moment, flesh grew out of his wounds, and his injuries healed quickly. EsGod returned to his original appearance, almost as if he had never been injured. His recovery speed was no slower than Han Xiao's.
"A futile attack."
EsGod glanced at Sun Hunter before turning his gaze back to Han Xiao. "Black Star, you're not the only one with an immortal body."
Han Xiao was expressionless. With his self-healing Esper Ability in EsGod's hands, he could naturally perform at the level of a Beyond Grade A Super.
He said calmly, "Every time you repair your body, you consume the activity of your cells. When your cells reach the limit, your lifespan will also come to an end. This is the disadvantage of self-healing."
"That's right. I'm already old. Every time I fight, I burn my lifespan," EsGod said calmly.
"However, your Evolution Cube has increased my lifespan quite a bit, enough for me to squander. At the very least, you guys won't have any chance in this battle."
EsGod's current strength came from the Evolution Energy, which he obtained from Han Xiao. Thus, he treated Han Xiao differently.
"Do you think you've already won?" Sun Hunter interrupted coldly.
"Oh? If you guys still have any trump cards that you haven't used yet, you'd better give me a surprise as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't even have the strength to escape. "
EsGod's voice was filled with confidence. "If I kill you guys here, the Red Empire and the Arcane Church will be furious. I'm not interested in attracting the next wave of enemies for the time being, so letting you guys escape is the best choice. However, if you don't escape, I won't be stingy with killing you."
Through this battle, EsGod had tested his combat strength. Defeating this wave of pursuers was enough to show his strength. As long as he did not kill these pursuers, the three Universal Civilizations would not pursue him in the short term. He also wanted to keep a low profile for a period of time to familiarize himself with his strength after evolution. Thus, he did not plan to kill Han Xiao and the others.
Otherwise, the Universal Civilizations would definitely not let this matter rest after suffering such a huge loss. This did not suit EsGod's current needs. He hoped that Han Xiao and the others would retreat.
Han Xiao turned around and looked. His companions were all injured and were not in good condition.
It was indeed as EsGod had said. With just the five of them, they would not be able to do anything to EsGod. If they continued fighting, they would only sink deeper and deeper until their lives were in danger.
At this time, Han Xiao suddenly smiled. "EsGod, do you know? I know your threat better than anyone else."
"My threat?" EsGod raised his brows. "My deeds are spread all over the universe. Do I need you to emphasize this?"
"No, no, no, I'm not talking about the same thing." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
EsGod tilted his head. "I don't understand what you mean."
Han Xiao smiled and did not plan to explain in detail.
Back then, EsGod had purposely revealed the wormhole data to Han Xiao. His goal was to lure the other organizations to study it together. However, he hid the information about the World Tree Civilization. EsGod thought that he was the only one who knew about the existence of the World Tree Civilization.
In truth, there was nothing wrong with EsGod's idea. If it was anyone else other than Han Xiao, they would not have known about this secret and would only have fallen into his trap and helped him study this set of wormhole data. EsGod's goal was to open up this channel so that he could reap the benefits.
However, EsGod would not have thought that Han Xiao also knew about the existence of the World Tree Civilization. They were the only two people in the explored universe who knew about this secret, and EsGod was still in the dark.
It was because of the lack of information that EsGod did not know how determined Han Xiao was to kill him. According to his past experience, the number of Beyond Grade As who came to deal with him this time should be between four to six. Five was within his expectations.
Therefore, he did not expect that under Han Xiao's operation, the number of people who came to deal with him this time far exceeded five Beyond Grade As!
The moment Han Xiao finished speaking, some changes suddenly occurred.
EsGod's expression changed drastically. He could clearly sense that a layer of space magic suddenly spread out and quickly enveloped the entire area. The multi-dimensional channel was cut off, and the spacetime coefficient was locked. The space was so stable that it was indestructible without any gaps.
At the same time, Han Xiao also activated the rapid space stabilization device that the Mecha Empire had lent him. Its range covered EsGod, preventing him from escaping using teleportation while the trap was forming.
Without teleportation, he would not have the mobility to take the initiative. In EsGod's senses, six Beyond Grade A energy sources suddenly appeared in the distance of the battlefield and rapidly approached.
Milizaus's group of six appeared at the edge of the battlefield and surrounded him.
Seeing this, EsGod's expression darkened, and shock appeared in his eyes.
"Why are there still six people?"
