Another month passed. After investigating the orphanage, Li Xiang didn't make any new moves. He only waited for Honey's reply and spent the rest of his time on the mechanization of the Great Wall of Disaster.
This time, the duration of the Level 9 Conscription Order was unusually long. The Level 9 Magic Avatars that the Level 9 players had left behind in the Seven Continents were unable to contact their main bodies. They could only stay in their headquarters for a long time to prevent any unforeseen events from happening in the Seven Continents.
The new batch of players returned to their respective organizations after coming out of the Light of Humanity. The various organizations were still in conflict, but there were no more major incidents like the annihilation of Owl and Kong Mu.
General Othello's statement left Ji Zhanxue with no choice but to swallow this loss. Ji Zhanxue, who had lost both of his arms, went into hiding. After taking over the position of Minister of Military Affairs from General Kong, he began to hide his strength. This made Li Xiang feel uneasy.
If Ji Zhanxue made a big fuss and acted as if they were irreconcilable enemies, then he would feel more at ease.
Everyone knew that a dog that didn't bark hurt the most.
On the other hand, the Sky Devouring Winged Monarch, whose beloved descendant had been killed by him, couldn't hold back his anger. He threatened to confront Li Xiang after returning to the Seven Continents.
The Human Faction was dominated by the Aristocratic Alliance, but the various organizations were constantly in conflict over resources and territory. Li Xiang's new Polar Night suddenly recalled most of his people and focused on the mechanization of the Great Wall of Disaster. This made those who were worried about the rapid development of the new Polar Night feel much more at ease.
The Great Wall of Disaster had been decreed by the White King. Anyone who went there would be marked for life, and it would be very difficult for the Aristocratic Alliance to accept them. No matter what differences there were between them, these organizations had the same attitude toward the Great Wall of Disaster.
They were happy that Li Xiang was wasting time and money on this, but they also didn't understand why.
However, this unexpected move really did ease the tense situation on the Seven Continents.
Li Xiang had been supervising the mechanization of the Great Wall of Disaster for the past few days. The walls were seriously aging. If not for the countless spells used to reinforce them, they would have crumbled under a few violent impacts.
However, this could not solve the root of the problem. If the foundation was rotten, no matter how tightly the outer layer was wrapped up, it still could not solve the problem of the main city being fragile.
Li Xiang's method was to insert sophisticated mechanical devices and parts into the Great Wall from the outside to the inside. Then, he would use magic to reinforce the Great Wall. With the help of high-tech mechanical devices, the Great Wall would have a stronger defensive effect. At the very least, it would not be destroyed by the impact of the disaster.
Over the years, Li Xiang had not stopped creating machines while he was training. His natural Machinery Proficiency, Absolute Mechanical Sense, and Machinery Heart allowed him to reduce the amount of time he had to train, allowing him to reach the peak state that most Mechanics could only dream of. After experiencing a few wars, he had also shifted his focus from firearms research to defensive machinery.
Scarlet Heavy Industries had already taken shape, and with the help of Wessex, this seemingly whimsical operation was actually very achievable.
The reconstruction of Ice Scar City and the first level of mechanization were almost complete. Everyone had been working overtime for the past month. Rita was amazed by the unity of the people.
At night, the construction came to an end. The tired workers and the city guards who had worked hard all returned to the new buildings to rest.
There was no lack of places to rest, food, and water. Even their weapons and equipment were guaranteed. Only the city guards who needed to be on duty still had to stay by the Great Wall. However, there was also a small mechanical house for them to rest in.
Li Xiang stood at the top of the city wall. Lori, who was behind him, was sleeping soundly in the arms of Mechanical Tea. Lori, who had been brought up by her father since she was young, had never experienced true maternal love. In an environment like the Great Wall of Disaster, the sense of reliance in her heart was stimulated, and she treated Mechanical Tea as her mother.
Such emotions also caused a huge change in Mechanical Tea. The mechanical creature that originally did not have much rationality and emotions actually began to have emotional fluctuations. This surprised Li Xiang, and he added the progress of the mechanical creature to the progress chart.
When the players obtained a player carrier, it meant that they had come into contact with a part of the laws of the Creator. That was the source of creation. At the same time, as a player and a Mechanic, the Mechanical Spirit-branded Shikigami that he created seemed to be different from ordinary people.
Just as his thoughts were drifting, the ground suddenly shook, and a violent roar resounded through the night sky. The sound lingered in the air, coming closer and closer. The sound was actually getting louder and louder.
The first sound in the void woke everyone up from their slumber.
The roar in the void sounded like a demonstration.
Only one person from the suicide squad he sent out last time returned, but he also brought good news. It seemed that there was a huge internal conflict in the Disaster Faction. Countless Disasters were killing each other, and even the King Grade Disaster that had been stationed outside Ice Scar City for a long time had awakened.
It had encountered a stronger opponent and was fighting non-stop, so it should not have the time to care about the Great Wall of Disaster during this period.
However, it seemed like it was preparing to launch a night attack.
Alarms sounded everywhere, and the battleships took off. Some of the Wessex and New Polar Night battleships had not left yet. After the first stage of mechanization was completed, the alarm system was starting to take effect, and the transmission of information was extremely fast. Just as the second wave of roars arrived, all the defense personnel were in position.
The atmosphere was solemn, and a battle was about to break out.
"It's here." Li Xiang's aura was solemn as he stood at the base of the Third Garrison Team and looked at the sea of stars not far away.
The city guard beside him did not understand. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a sudden thunderous explosion between heaven and earth. Everyone temporarily lost their sense of hearing. Immediately, a shadowy rainbow spread from the sky, filled with all kinds of negative emotions and an aura that made people despair.
"Everyone, be alert and prepare for battle." Li Xiang gave the order, and the new soldiers of the Third Garrison Team picked up the weapons in their hands and stood at the top of the wall. When they saw the dense wave of mutants below, their scalps went numb, and their legs began to tremble.
After a dozen or so bloody battles last time, the Third Garrison Team had been completely wiped out. This time, they were newly recruited soldiers. They had not experienced the flames of war, and their conditions were much better than those of their predecessors. However, there was no telling how many of them would be left after this battle.
The first batch of strange-looking mutants had already begun to climb. They were extremely fast, and many of them reached the top of the wall in the blink of an eye. Waiting for them were the soldiers who had been quietly waiting for a long time.
Origin substance guns, magic spells, and enchanted weapons were all unleashed on their bodies. The first wave of battle instantly began.
In an instant, Li Xiang saw a few of the soldiers, who were still in a daze, being torn to pieces by the charging mutants. Blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was extremely brutal.
The mutants were not afraid of pain or death, and there were many of them. If the soldiers were distracted for even a moment, they would definitely die.
The blood of their companions awakened the arrogant magicians who had just arrived at the Great Wall of Disaster.
Perhaps they were indeed infamous on the Seven Continents for being able to take on ten opponents at once, but in front of hordes of mutants, they were not much different from ordinary people.
Li Xiang took a step forward, and his black robes fluttered in the night wind. The next second, his figure disappeared into the void. When he reappeared, he was already behind a few mutants who were clamoring. The sharp blade in his hand flashed, accurately slicing open their crystal cores.
His aura was long and sharp, like an ancient divine weapon, sucking in the blood of the battlefield and turning it into his own energy.
With him taking action, every time the Paradise of Annihilation fired a shot, a blue beam of light would turn a large number of mutants into nothingness, instantly relieving the pressure on the battlefield. The soldiers, who had recovered from their shock, also entered into battle mode. They bravely charged forward, and the entire front line of Icescar City had already been engulfed in the flames of war.
"The attack this time seems to be particularly fierce." Li Xiang looked up. The huge black fog in the sky was still changing, and a few Calamities had already appeared. The roar from before was also from them.
One after another, the Night Watchers jumped onto the city wall, floating in the air and heading toward the black fog.
The Night Watchers were all extremely powerful players. Only they could face the Calamities head-on. Their battlefield was the true battlefield that would decide the outcome of the battle.
Countless mutants and soldiers mixed together. At the same time, the black fog exploded, and the battle between the Night Watchers and the Calamities finally began.
Li Xiang stepped on the head of a Hoofed Cow, crushing it. At the same time, he used the momentum to fly into the air and join the battle.
Several black-robed Night Watchers surrounded a disc-shaped monster. Its body was full of wriggling, slippery flesh, and its tentacles could easily negate magic.
A lightning-like shadow flashed by from the side and then slammed into Li Xiang from behind.
Grade E Calamity, Snake Lurker.
Compared to the other Calamities whose shapes could not even be described, this Calamity had a rare humanoid body. It had a beautiful face and no head. Connected to the face was a long snake-like neck. Its body was tall and slender, supported by octopus tentacles. Countless tentacles swayed, and just looking at it made one lose their rationality.
It was extremely fast. It was just in front of Li Xiang a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was behind him. Even he could not react in time.
Boom!
The Hall of Annihilation shot out a purifying blue light, but it was dodged directly.
The snake-like neck extended infinitely, wrapping around Li Xiang's body. The beautiful face was originally quite pleasant, but after attaching such a neck, it looked extremely strange.
It let out an unpleasant laugh, and its mouth suddenly split open, from both sides to the roots of its ears, revealing a bloody mouth with a foul stench.
The characteristics of the Calamities were that their shapes were different, and their nature was difficult to determine. They were born with extremely high magic and physical resistance, and some of their attacks were strange and endless. They were also extremely difficult to kill.
Li Xiang's sharp blade slashed at the snake's neck, but it was as if it had rubbed against a layer of mucus. The terrifying power was unable to be unleashed at all. In just a few moments, the bloody mouth was already in front of his head.
He could even clearly smell the foul stench coming from the mouth.
The Hall of Annihilation had appeared in the Snake Lurker's mouth at some point. Initial state, purifying and healing mode, [Battle Technique XII — Karma Piercing].
This was the final battle technique of the Hall of Annihilation in its initial blue state, and it was also the strongest finishing move.
A blue beam of light shot out from its mouth, able to penetrate any matter, shatter all energy, and cut off all karma from the past, the future, and the present!
It killed the enemy from its very existence.
After firing this shot, the restraints on Li Xiang's body loosened, and he took the opportunity to use Spatial Flash to retreat to the side.
The Snake Lurker let out a shrill scream, and a blue light raged in its long snake neck. Then, its body suddenly exploded, and the beautiful face was also blown to pieces.
It looked as if it was about to reform a new body, but as soon as the pieces of flesh touched it, they dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The snake's neck, tentacles, and body became illusory as the light bombarded it, gradually dissipating into the air.
A seemingly weak black flame rose into the air. That was the Snake Lurker's original flame.
Li Xiang gasped for breath. This shot had consumed nearly half of his stamina. Even this body, which could be said to be at the peak of his level, could not withstand more than two uses of Karma Piercing. If it were not for him, the Hall of Annihilation would not have been able to use half of its strength in the hands of anyone else.
The black flame spun and burned, burrowing into the black fog, and then quickly shooting over. In the process of charging, the Snake Lurker gradually transformed into a new body.
Without the countless octopus tentacles below, it now had the face and body of a human woman, but the lower half of its body was replaced by a snake's body.
At a glance, one would think that it was a female Naga.
Li Xiang dodged its sharp claws. Upon closer inspection, he realized that there were countless transparent spider webs as thin as cicada's wings on the back of the Snake Lurker. They spread out into a huge and dense spider web, and the scales on its body were all human eyes moving about.
Those with trypophobia would probably go crazy if they saw this scene.
Not only did he not kill it, but he also allowed it to evolve further.
Li Xiang held the Hall of Annihilation tightly. This was the first time he had faced a combat-type Disaster.
Previously, he had joined forces with Casa to eliminate the Disaster at the cost of Casa's death. However, that was a support-type Disaster, and its combat strength was average.
The Snake Lurker's strength was not inferior to his, and it had even faster speed and astonishing recovery ability. Its entire body was covered in the power of faith, and it had a body that could drive people crazy. The slightest carelessness would cause one to fall into madness.
Even Karma Piercing could not completely kill it.
Li Xiang finally understood the meaning of the phrase, "Disasters are very difficult to kill."
As long as the Fire Origin existed, they would have unlimited chances to revive.
And the Fire Origin could be immune to attacks on the level of cause and effect!
What kind of substance was this?
Li Xiang touched his chest. There was a similar black Fire Origin jumping there, and it was even more powerful than the Snake Lurker's.
As if sensing the surging Disaster aura in his body, the Snake Lurker suddenly stopped roaring and looked at him with some confusion.
Most Disasters were in the form of dominators, and they did not have human thoughts or rationality. Only a small number of humanoid Disasters could communicate normally.
Its consciousness did not have the ability to think, and it only acted based on its instincts. However, at the same time, it was extremely sensitive to auras. Obviously, it could not understand why Li Xiang, a human, possessed the same level of disaster aura as it did.
Enemy? Or was it a species of the same faction?
In the end, the enemy's judgment surpassed its own. The Snake Lurker regained its fighting spirit and charged at him!
