Lancelot looked at Li Xiang calmly, waiting for his reply.
To be honest, Li Xiang had no reason to reject his offer. Lancelot had considered everything that Li Xiang cared about and cherished.
He was a man of his word. Since he had said that he would give Li Xiang a peaceful place in the future, he would definitely give it to him. With Lancelot's current ability, perhaps only the top Dominators were qualified to fight him. His promise carried a lot of weight. If Li Xiang agreed, he knew that Lancelot would help him get rid of Ji Zhanxue and the other rivals.
However, Li Xiang still shook his head.
"Why?" Lancelot was puzzled. The thousand-toothed phantom next to him was also confused. Only Fei Yujing smiled thoughtfully.
"Is it because of the so-called different path? I'm your father, the person closest to you. I also have unparalleled power. As long as you're willing to join me, you'll receive the most complete mechanical technology. If you don't want to become a Disaster, you can join the club in your current form. "
Lancelot looked at him. The more Li Xiang resisted, the more he wanted to take his son in. He had a perverted obsession.
"What about the tarot cards? What about your former subordinates? Is your so-called new world just a bunch of bloodthirsty humanoid monsters wreaking havoc?" Li Xiang shook his head firmly and rejected Lancelot's invitation again. "You're just like her. You always think that weak species shouldn't exist in this world. However, their existence is reasonable. Every life has its right to live. There are many ways to create a new world. It doesn't have to be destroyed and rebuilt."
"Tarot cards? You mean those failures? Don't be silly, son. Compared to my current club, they're just failed fakes. I've studied it for many years. In the end, I found that no matter how humans imitate Disasters, they can't get rid of their inferior genes. Even as strong as us, we can only be restricted above level-9. Any higher and our bodies won't be able to withstand that power. "Lancelot scoffed in disdain.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne and said leisurely, "Lily is experimenting with her ideas on you. However, it seems that there's a certain deviation in your genetic modeling. Still, it's better than those humans, isn't it?"
"I don't think there's any deviation. It's very good," Li Xiang looked at him and said coldly.
"Very good? You call the state of mixing four completely different bloodlines — human, Disaster, machine, and Void — very good? Although I don't know what method you used to force them to slowly merge together, we've already tested it. Just the combination of human and Disaster bloodlines is almost enough to make a normal body explode. The limit of being half human and half Disaster is your mother. She's only above level-9 and can't go any further. As for me, I'm about to break through this limit. "
Lancelot, who had transformed into a Disaster, had a drastic change in temperament. Or rather, ever since he returned from the Eternal Gate, he was no longer the simple-minded young man who only knew how to fiddle with machines.
The Eternal Gate had given him ambition, power, and the desire for power.
Li Xiang did not refute him. Lancelot's words meant that he could not see the real changes in his body.
This further confirmed Li Xiang's guess. The aura of Chaos and the aura of creation were the same as his own original aura. They were all supreme powers. These powers were even more powerful than Lancelot's. Therefore, even he could not see the real changes in Li Xiang's body.
When the three auras merged together, the final evolution of the Origin aura would be at least of their level. Could this evolution be considered a failure?
"It's a pity. I thought you were like Yu 'er, understanding true power. It seems like you're still trapped in the inherent human mindset. If you're willing to come back, I can help you adjust your body to its best condition." Lancelot sighed, as if he was regretful that he could not persuade him to come back. "You're the only son of Lily and I. You should've noticed it yourself. In terms of cultivation, you have too many advantages over others. But so what if you've become a level-9 player? Even above level-9, there are still countless shackles."
The negotiation failed.
Li Xiang knew that he and Lancelot were not the same kind of people. Lancelot was willing to give up on Venus and the others, but he could not.
The shackles that he could abandon and cut off at will were the things that had always encouraged and helped Li Xiang to move forward.
"Then we'll meet on the battlefield. Yu 'er will show you what true power is. Of course, no matter when, as long as you're willing to come back, I'll welcome you." Lancelot waved his hand, and an invisible force pushed Li Xiang out of the Void Battleship.
By the time Li Xiang reacted, he was already floating in the air.
He took a deep look at the spot where the Void Battleship had once been, then turned around and returned to the battlefield in Iceshell City.
This bloody battle had reached its climax. The Disaster Great Wall looked as if it had been painted with blood. It was a crimson red that spread to the horizon like a burning cloud.
It was a river of blood formed by the blood of countless mutants and city guards. The battle was still going on. The red-eyed warriors could not distinguish between friend and foe. They could only wave their weapons mechanically. It was either they died or they died.
The sky was filled with layers of black fog. Many of the Disasters were crushed into powder, and a few of the Night Watchers had died. Their corpses fell all the way down, and before they hit the ground, they were torn into pieces by the swarm of mutants.
A slender battleship leaped out from the depths of the void, quickly approaching the battlefield like a fish. It was completely black, with beautiful and smooth lines outlined in dark gold. It was noble and elegant, and did not look like a technological civilization that could exist in the galaxy.
After the appearance of the first battleship, more and more battleships leaped out from the void one after another. There was no end to them, and they spread out densely. It was a despairing sight.
"So many!" Even Rita, who had experienced hundreds of defensive battles, could not help but gasp.
There were more than a dozen battleships of various sizes. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that the Disasters would use technological products.
Li Xiang used his sword to deflect a Grade F Disaster that was roaring toward him and returned to the top of the Disaster Great Wall. "Set up the origin anti-air cannons and fight them to the death!"
He stood upright with his sword in hand, and his aura spread out, blasting down the mutants that had just rushed up the wall.
The Heaven of Annihilation in his hand maintained its blue glow. Every shot could purify a large number of roaring mutants.
However, this was still a drop in the bucket. This time, the mutant wave seemed to have no end in sight. After killing one wave, another wave would appear.
He ordered the soldiers to set up the origin anti-air cannons that they had prepared beforehand. Considering that there would be a fleet war, Li Xiang had secretly prepared a batch of powerful origin anti-air cannons.
It was very difficult for non-players to destroy a continental airship head-on. The smallest of these neatly arranged airships was the size of a city. Once they focused their fire on the wall, it would be a nightmare for these Magicians.
They had to be destroyed before they could attack!
The main cannons of several airships had already begun to light up, indicating that they had finished charging and could fire at any time.
"Oh no, it's going to be too late." Li Xiang was anxious. Without his command, the mechanical defenses on the wall were in a mess. Now that the enemy's airship fleet was in position, his origin anti-air cannons had just been set up and had not had time to warm up.
Originally, this kind of important secret weapon would be assembled and used by a special unit, but the fierce battle made it difficult for all the units to stay out of it. The small team responsible for the anti-air cannons had already mixed into the battlefield and suffered heavy casualties.
The first round of bombardment was about to arrive. If the anti-air cannons did not fire, then this round of bombardment would destroy all the cannons they had just set up.
At that time, the Great Wall of Disaster would be a live target, and no one would be able to survive.
Li Xiang did not expect that Fei Yujing had already arranged for the airship fleet to be ready before he went to the Void Warship. The moment he rejected Lancelot's invitation, they would go all out.
However, they would rather die in battle if they had to open the door and let these disasters into the seven continents!
Boom!
At this critical moment, a giant crossbow bolt suddenly flew out of the black fog in the distance and pierced through the outermost airships. The airships quickly burst into dazzling fireballs. No matter how sturdy the material was, it could not withstand the attack of a disaster weapon.
The giant crossbow bolt fired three times in a row, and the sound of it piercing through the air was mixed with the power to destroy the world.
Li Xiang, who was standing on the wall, was almost blown down by the powerful hurricane. The terrifying power made his heart beat faster and his blood flow backward.
The flames spread and engulfed the bodies of several airships in a moment.
The sudden arrival of reinforcements stunned both sides.
Then, a loud shout came from the black fog, and a burning stream of fire quickly fell to the ground. Before it hit the ground, it was drowned by a pile of mutants.
In order to help them, that player was attacked by a disaster and died.
"Quick! Don't let his sacrifice be in vain! " Li Xiang's eyes turned red. He did not know which Nightwatcher had fallen, but at this moment, he was still willing to give up his life for the human camp. Such a player was a real player.
Under his urging and assistance, ten brand new Elementium anti-air cannons were finally set up and fired!
These Elementium anti-air cannons were the latest products of Scarlet Heavy Industries. They were highly recommended by Li Xiang and were specially used to deal with the ground defense of airships.
They cost a lot to make and were shockingly powerful. The only downside was that they were difficult to assemble and slow to fill. Firing the cannons required many complicated steps, and they could not receive any interference during the process.
Therefore, every time a cannon was fired, countless soldiers would be sacrificed.
But after seeing the power of these new cannons, Li Xiang felt that it was all worth it.
The cannonball that was covered in flowing light slammed into the exhaust pipe of one of the airships, piercing deeply into the engine and detonating all the important mechanical devices in an instant. After a series of earth-shattering explosions, the terrifying-looking continental airship was torn into several pieces. One section was blown away, one section fell to the ground, igniting countless sparks, and one section was blasted into the void while emitting thick smoke.
Destroying a continental airship with one shot reignited the confidence of the soldiers who had lost all hope. They all rushed forward to protect the ten important anti-air cannons.
The battle between the Calamities and the players in the sky was still intense. Every Night Watcher had at least one Calamity circling around them, and they would fall if they were not careful. They had no time to care about the battlefield below.
If the Great Wall of Calamity was breached, they would be alone even if they won. They would need to rebuild a new line of defense.
Year after year, Rita had personally witnessed her entire army being wiped out three times in the years she had been the commander of the garrison.
Every time, in the end, she would be the only one left standing at the top of the city walls, looking at the sea of stars in the distance.
Rita had been prepared to die in the face of an attack of this scale. But now, Li Xiang's mechanized defenses were working, and she was confident that they could win this most difficult battle in history.
When the last airship crashed, an earth-shattering cheer came from the city walls.
The ten anti-air cannons were all destroyed, and the surrounding area was littered with the corpses of soldiers. But in the end, they had still defended.
The victory in the air battle was like a shot of adrenaline for the exhausted soldiers, making them burn their potential and bravely block the new enemies.
Li Xiang, who was covered in blood, shuttled back and forth between the black fog and the city walls. He was not strong enough to participate in the final battle between the players and the Calamities. He could only watch the battle and help the two sides.
He deeply realized the insignificance and helplessness of an individual's strength in such an environment.
In the fierce battle, Li Xiang thought of the School Championship Competition. On the eve of the Loulan civilization's destruction, the mutants of this scale came wave after wave, causing the ancient Loulan civilization and the human era before it to be annihilated in the long river of history.
In that battle, the magicians who participated in the School Championship Competition were just like the soldiers guarding the city below. They could only watch the highest level battle helplessly. At the same time, they had to face mutants that outnumbered them by ten to a hundred times.
In the end, their weapons were blunt, and they were dumbfounded.
In this battle, Li Xiang was no longer the cannon fodder and ant below, but he experienced the cruelty of this kind of war even more.
He leaped to the city wall and saved a female warrior from an eight-clawed monster. The sexy beauty who was almost naked hugged him without hesitation and kissed him fiercely. Then, she continued to throw herself into the long battle.
Li Xiang watched as she rushed into the mutant army and was torn apart and drowned.
A desolate feeling surged in his heart.
"You won't die in vain," Li Xiang thought of the soldiers from the Loulan era, and remembered Wei Sangsang who was his adjutant for a few days.
"Do your best, Commander. Among the one thousand and sixty-two commanders, you're the strongest … and the last one I've seen, right?"
He remembered his own promise.
The red-tipped snake blade slashed out a beautiful trajectory and instantly annihilated the mutant wave that swallowed the female warrior.
Li Xiang felt his blood boiling, as if something had quietly awakened in his heart.
Then, the assassination tattoo on his palm and the magic runes in his body began to slowly evolve.
Level 2.
In such a battle, he finally broke through the shackles and successfully reached a new level.
Kaboom!
A blue pillar of light lit up the sky. Everyone could not help but turn their heads and look. Then, they were stunned by the figure that walked out of the light.
