In the cabin hall, the many Black Star Guards were either standing or sitting. Their eyes were all focused on the virtual screen in the middle. On the screen, Heber was slapped into the depths of the planet by the Mechanical Deity. The next moment, the planet exploded. This was the super high definition battle video recorded by the galactic media. It was currently being replayed with sound effects.
Although this was the second time he had seen this scene, Hardaway could not help but be shocked. "When will I be able to reach such a level …"
"Maybe in your next life?" A Black Star Guard beside him smirked. This person was also a Calamity Grade who had joined very early on and was friends with Hardaway.
"With your Esper Ability, even if you reach the Beyond Grade A level, you probably won't have such destructive power." Aurora shook her head.
"His Esper Ability can only take a beating. Maybe when he reaches the Beyond Grade A level, he'll become the favorite punching bag of all Beyond Grade As."
"Humph, you're just jealous." Hearing this, Hardaway snorted unhappily.
"Hehe, to be honest, even if you break through the limits of your Esper Ability and reach the Beyond Grade A level, you might not be able to take a beating as well as His Excellency Black Star. Plus, you don't have as many attacking methods as His Excellency Black Star … I think you'll be the weakest Beyond Grade A in history."
Thinking about it, Hadavy felt that his future was bleak, and he couldn't lift his spirits. Lying on the sofa, Ge You turned into a salted fish.
"Don't worry about that." Fu Ding smiled gently and squeezed Hardaway's shoulder. "Maybe you won't even reach the Beyond Grade A level."
Hardaway rolled his eyes and said with annoyance, "It's you, Chen Xing. Don't imitate the Vice Army Commander."
While they were chatting, the cabin door slid open. Everyone turned around and saw Han Xiao striding in.
"Greetings, Army Commander!"
Many people hurriedly stood up and bowed. Pairs of burning eyes stared at Han Xiao.
After watching the entire battle live, the Black Star in their hearts became even more powerful and mysterious. As his strength increased, their respect for Han Xiao also deepened.
"They're all here." Han Xiao nodded and glanced at the video on the virtual screen. He couldn't help but laugh. "Haven't you seen it? Why are you still replaying it?"
"This is all for the sake of admiring your heroic bearing!" Hardaway approached with a fervent look on his face.
He had once joined the Black Star Corps for a trade, but after witnessing the Black Star's potential so many times, he was now wholeheartedly working for Han Xiao.
After this battle, everyone knew that Black Star had officially become the strongest person in the Shattered Star Ring. The title of 'strongest in the Star Field' was not just an empty title. The fame, influence, and halo it brought were immeasurable.
Only a Beyond Grade A Super could obtain this title by defeating all the experts in the same Star Field. In the Shattered Star Ring, although Black Star was very strong in the past, to the public, he was not famous. There would always be people comparing him to the Tyrant.
Now that he was famous, most of the ordinary galactic residents recognized him as the 'strongest in the Star Field'.
Seeing a bright future, Hardaway could not wait to hug Black Star's thigh and accept Han Xiao's beatings every day.
Seeing this, Han Xiao had a strange expression.
He remembered that before Hardaway joined him, he was still quite cool. How did he become like this?
Could it be that my charisma was that great?
Shaking his head, Han Xiao came before Fu Ding. Just as he was about to touch Fu Ding, Fu Ding jumped away like a panicked deer.
"Wait, wait a minute, I'm now Morning Star!"
Han Xiao paused, put down his hand, and chuckled. "It's fine, no rush. I'll wait for you to change back."
Morning Star hurriedly retracted into his mind, and Fu Ding's consciousness came online again. His temperament became like a spring breeze, and his face was filled with helplessness.
In the past, when he was touched, Fu Ding was still a little resistant, but now, he had accepted his fate.
After so many things, even he himself doubted if he was really that lucky …
Seeing this, Han Xiao happily went forward and touched him. Only then did he leave with his hands full of luck, feeling that he had been blessed.
Returning to his room, Han Xiao opened the interface and chose to complete the mission.
Any reward was a Heber Character Summon Card. It was as if Fu Ding's luck had exploded. The ability of the Character Summon Card was [Polar Channel Flow — Cellular Overdrive]. Although it could only be used once, there were no side effects due to the mechanism of the Character Summon Card.
The experience reward was the normal standard for a Beyond Grade A Boss mission. Twenty to thirty billion experience filled up his experience pool that was gradually drying up.
As for the two Legendary Points from the previous mission, they did not appear this time, which meant that the Legendary Point reward was a one-time use. However, because of the influence of this matter, he still received an additional Legendary Point.
Universe Legendary Point: The strongest person in the Shattered Star Ring. You are already standing at the peak of a Star Field. Your name will be spread throughout the entire universe.
This Legendary Point is clearly something that players will not be able to obtain … Han Xiao complained in his mind.
After completing these rewards, it was time for the final reward, the ability draw!
You have received the reward: Draw one of Heber's abilities (Ability/Talent).
Tip: Heber is a Pugilist. Some of the abilities have been adjusted according to your class.
Randomizing … Randomizing complete.
Please select one from the following five options as your reward:]
1. [Berserk Energy] – Ability: + 110% Energy Attack Damage, + 50% Consumption. Duration: 10s. Cooldown: 75s.
2. [Polar Channel Flow — Cellular Overdrive] – Ability: Release the limits of your cells and squeeze out your own potential. You will temporarily explode with a higher level of combat power, lasting from a few hours to a few days. After use, you will be in a 'weakened' state for one month. Level and skill upgrade costs will be permanently increased by 7%.
3. [Close Range Killer] – Talent: + 40% Close Range Attack Speed, + 2 All Close Range Skill Levels.
4. [Legendary Fixed Damage Reduction] – Talent: When facing any type of attack, after calculating the normal resistance, a fixed damage reduction of 7,500 points will be calculated. The remaining damage will be calculated for the resistance talents with lower priority. This talent is compatible with 'Low Level Damage Immunity'. If you have the 'Low Level Damage Immunity' series of talents, the fixed damage reduction value will be the limit of 'Low Level Damage Immunity'.
5. [Critical Combo] – Ability: When you perform a combo attack on the target, the Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage will increase with the number of combo attacks. The maximum stacking is 75% Critical Hit Rate and 350% Critical Hit Damage. Duration: 5s. Cooldown: 80s.
Han Xiao was slightly overjoyed. Touching Fu Ding was indeed different. There were quite a few good items.
However, the more good items there were, the easier it was to choose.
Han Xiao thought about it and decided to remove [Berserk Energy] first. This skill increased pure energy damage. Although his Mechanical Force could also hurt others, the damage was too low, so he never used it. This skill was most suitable for Pugilists to use Shockwave Blast, and it did not provide much bonus to himself.
[Polar Channel Flow — Cellular Overdrive] was a good skill for explosive power, but the side effects were quite daunting. This was not like the side effects of the Evolution Cube that had a time limit. The permanent increase in experience cost was a pain in the ass. Although it was only 7% per use, it could be stacked infinitely.
As for the effect … just look at Heber. If he could not beat him, he would still not be able to beat him. He might even be beaten up for a longer time. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
This ability was not very useful for Mechanics who did not rely on their own bodies. Compared to temporary explosive power, Han Xiao was more inclined to prepare more Mech Army before the battle. Furthermore, he had just obtained a Character Summon Card without any side effects, so he could pass on this skill.
[Close Range Killer] was most suitable for Pugilists and Mechanical Pugilists. Although it was useful for him, it was not crucial.
As for [Legendary Fixed Damage Reduction], this was definitely a Molding Talent. Although 7,500 points of fixed damage reduction did not seem like much, this was because he was looking at it from the perspective of a Beyond Grade A. If a Calamity Grade Super had this talent, they would be reduced by 7,500 points every time, and their resistance would increase by at least two to three levels.
If a Grade B or Grade C got it … they would basically be invincible against those of the same grade. If the players encountered such a boss, it would be nothing short of despair.
This ability came together with the [Low Level Damage Immunity] series. Heber had the [Legendary Low Level Damage Immunity] talent, and he would be immune to all attacks with actual damage lower than 16,000. However, this did not mean that [Legendary Fixed Damage Reduction] was useless.
The normal rule of [Low Level Damage Immunity] was that he would be immune to all damage lower than the limit, and attacks higher than 16,000 would not be affected. After adding [Legendary Fixed Damage Reduction], the effect would be that for attacks higher than 16,000, the actual damage would be reduced by 16,000. Then, the resistance talents with lower priority would be calculated. This was the result of the combination of the two, increasing the limit of the reduction.
However, now that he could only draw one of them, the effect would be reduced to a certain extent. In fact, what Han Xiao wanted more was Heber's [Super Toughness] talent. This was the secret of Heber's tankiness, and it had lower priority. In other words, the order of the damage reduction for Heber would be as follows:
First, the energy of a Beyond Grade A would be reduced by one layer, followed by one layer of the physical body's normal resistance, and then the actual damage value would be obtained. Next, the 16,000 damage reduction would be deducted, and finally, the high reduction from [Super Toughness] would be calculated. According to rough calculations, the theoretical damage of tens of thousands would be reduced to two to three digits.
The last one, [Critical Combo], was extremely suitable for him. The number of combo attacks from the Mech Legion was a joy that Pugilists could not imagine. It would definitely be able to max out the critical strike rate in the shortest amount of time, steadily increasing his damage output.
"What a dilemma …"
You have received [Legendary Fixed Damage Reduction]!
Lu Zi was right. Every tank had the heart to deal damage. He really wanted to choose the [Critical Combo] … …
However, it was not easy for him to draw a Molding Talent. It would be too wasteful to let it go!
His resistance was not low to begin with, and he also had a hopeless recovery rate. Adding on the damage reduction …
Just the thought of it was terrifying.
I'm probably going to walk down the path of being a tank until the end, but I really want to deal damage! Han Xiao was a little troubled.
After sorting out the rewards, Han Xiao let out a breath, calmed himself down, closed the interface, and pondered about the impact of this battle.
He had obtained the title of the strongest in the Star Field, which would help the Black Star Corps' business in the Shattered Star Ring recover. At the same time, he would be able to attract a wave of new talents.
The decline of the Bloodshed Land's influence would not hinder the investment of the Limitless Financial Group. The other party was still his main competitor. However, this matter would increase the difficulty of the expansion of the Bloodshed Land.
As for the dynasty, since they did not interfere before, it meant that they had tacitly agreed … Ty-Ty was probably hurt a little too deeply by me this time.
"The construction and development of the Flickering World is now the most important. I estimate that for a very long time, the three Universal Civilizations will not have an open conflict. This way, I will have a stable external environment to develop the mechanical civilization and the Black Spirit Race, as well as start building a secondary Dimension Factory …"
Han Xiao pondered. He had already set the tone for the version updates in the past few decades, which was to build up his accumulation steadily.
…
As Black Star and the Bloodshed Land left, the spectators present also dispersed. The spies of the Radiance and Ethereal immediately uploaded the battle recording. Not long after, this recording was sent to the upper echelons. The upper echelons of the two Universal Civilizations held an impromptu meeting specifically for this matter.
"Everyone has seen the recording. What do you think?"
In the Radiant Federation's upper echelons' meeting room, President Bader looked around at the elders and upper echelons present and slowly asked.
The Chief Elder tapped his walking stick and said with a hoarse voice, "Regardless of the reason, it is a fact that Black Star has the strength of a peak Beyond Grade A Super. The Red Empire is about to welcome its fourth strongest National Pillar, which is very disadvantageous for us."
"That's right." Another upper echelon had a solemn expression as he said with a deep voice, "Furthermore, Black Star is too young. He can serve the dynasty for a very long time, and he is also the most difficult Virtual Mechanic to deal with. In the future, it is not impossible for him to grow to the level of Manison. We are gradually losing our advantage in terms of Beyond Grade As."
"What I'm worried about is when Black Star will grow again."
Someone frowned. "We once thought that he would be quiet for a few decades, but this has proven to be a mistake … Every time we think that he needs a long time to stabilize before he can continue to increase his strength, the facts prove us wrong."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Facing an opponent like Han Xiao who broke the rules time and time again, everyone felt pressured.
"If that's the case, we will have to make some adjustments to our strategy regarding the Evolutionary Totem," the Chief Elder said slowly.
"That's right." Bader pondered. "I will have to discuss this with the Arcane Church."
…
This battle that had attracted a lot of attention ended. However, in the next half a month, not only did the news not die down, it even continued to rise.
Countless galactic media outlets played the recording of the battle on the various channels of the various Star Systems, and the process of the Tyrant being beaten up was especially emphasized.
With the media's dissemination, even the galactic residents who were not interested in the battle were able to appreciate the 'heroism' of the Tyrant. Now, those who did not know that the Tyrant had been defeated all knew about it.
A Beyond Grade A being beaten up was something that everyone loved to see, and this matter quickly became the topic of conversation for countless galactic residents.
In the eyes of the majority of the people in the other Star Fields, the Tyrant was a relatively unfamiliar Beyond Grade A. Now that Heber had made his presence known by getting beaten up, he became extremely famous.
There were rumors that after the battle ended, Heber went home and locked himself in his room. Even his subordinates could not see him.
This matter spread like wildfire, and a special group also noticed the Mechanical Deity that Black Star had displayed.
The Machinery Faith!
