"This is the second ti that I’ve been able to sporadically break the rules of ti. Is it the ti rules that are failing around you or around ?" Suolin wondered, then shook her head and said, "No, the ti rules can’t fail. The only possibility is that we did sothing compliant with the ti rules without realizing it!"
"Could it have sothing to do with becoming a god?" Long Yi asked.
Suolin was stunned for a mont, then after giving it so thought, said, "I had not considered that possibility, but from my personal feeling, it is indeed possible. After all, once things enter the realm of the gods, they start becoming unpredictable."
Long Yi suddenly thought of sothing and asked Suolin, "You must have undertaken many ti-space travels, right? Have you ever entered the ti of the gods?"
When Long Yi asked this question, Suolin imdiately froze. She had not only never encountered a god but had never even thought about eting one. It was very abnormal, absolutely abnormal. Why had she never considered eting a god? After all, having t a god, many of the questions she had deep in her heart would have solutions, and even more importantly, if she had t the gods, perhaps she could have put an end to the original war between the Giants and the Dragon Clan, maybe even prevent the Divine Worm from infecting the gods.
"I really don’t know about that," Suolin said.
"If you don’t know, let’s not dwell on it. For now, let’s just capture a few monsters and go from there," Long Yi said indifferently.
Despite Long Yi’s indifference, Suolin’s heart was still turbulent. Clearly, there were many, many problems that she, as a ti traveler, had yet to solve.
On this plane, finding those monsters was very easy. They appeared every few days and launched an attack on various planets.
In the mid-level plane, the most proficient form of combat used to be the artillery bombardnt of battleships. However, with the ergence of these monsters and their extre agility, battleships quickly beca ineffective. In stark contrast, the Azure Sky Empire and the Hong En Empire had already forged quite a way with small and even micro-sized ships due to their earlier brutalization by Giant Beasts and the Nightmare Knight Order. So when these monsters attacked, the large battleships almost instantly lost their combat effectiveness, while those small and micro-sized ships survived on the battlefield thanks to their surprising agility.
And now, these small and micro-sized ships were protecting the star systems of the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires. As for the other planets in the plane, they were either occupied by these monsters or had started extre contraction. Isrile and Ruosha took up the roles of firefighters, constantly traveling across the entire plane to protect those planets from attack as much as possible. In fact, the entire plane had already begun a migration in terms of scale. All the planets started moving towards the Azure Sky and Hong En star systems, and being taken under the protection of the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires ant that their survival was assured. As for everything else, it naturally beca secondary in the face of life-threatening danger.
However, relocating an entire planet was easier said than done. Even in this era of extensive interstellar colonization, each planet’s population was not large, but relocating an entire planet in one go was still too difficult. And like all worlds, it was the rich and nobility who would take refuge first. The ordinary poor were inevitably left behind.
So, when those imnse monsters appeared before them, all they could do was pray.
At that mont, on a certain colonial planet, in a certain town.
The town was desolate, with nearly half of it already destroyed. A large group of people was hiding in the city hall, consisting mostly of old n, won, and children. Not far away, a giant monster continued its relentless destruction. A few mages and warriors from the town who could still fight had just charged over, trying to draw it away, but it was as if the monster knew its target. After annihilating those warriors and mages, it headed straight for the city hall!
"It’s coming!" a young lookout said with a trembling voice.
"The warriors couldn’t draw it away?" an old man asked shakily.
"No, the monster knows we are here, we’re done for." The young lookout collapsed to the ground, his eyes devoid of any spirit.
So people started to sob, and so clueless children, feeling the oppressive atmosphere, began to cry even louder. If it had been earlier, the cries of these children would have made everyone extrely anxious, but now they all knew that making noise or not was of no consequence.
"Hey, you old folks, co with !" an old man suddenly stood up.
"Mayor?" Several of the old n around looked at the elderly man with white hair and beard in confusion.
"We’ll draw it away! Delay it as long as possible!" the old mayor said.
"It’s no use, we’re all going to die." a woman holding a child said blankly.
"Even if it’s no use, we have to try!" another old man stood up.
"Right! I’ve lived long enough anyway!" another old man stood up as well.
"Let’s go!" an old woman also stood up.
However, just at that mont, the ground trembled slightly. A massive vibration followed, landing nearby!
"The monster suddenly leaped over!" the young sentry on duty shouted.
Imdiately following, the roof of the city hall was torn open sideways, and the monster’s head peeked through the broken roof!
"Aooo—" A terrifying roar ca, forcing the people below to desperately await their impending deaths.
However, death did not co. A powerful and majestic force slowly descended from the sky, calming the terrified crowd. They all looked up, gazing into the sky, as a figure accompanied by a golden light landed in front of the giant monster. Even the monster dared not make any rash movents in front of such majesty. Instead, it continuously backed away, retreating until it had left the town’s vicinity!
"This... is like a god descending..." the old town mayor murmured, then his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. The group of old n, who had just been prepared to die bravely, also fell down, gasping for breath.
"This divine status of mine is more useful than I thought," Long Yi said with a smile to Suolin, who was patrolling the sky to ensure that there were no similar monsters around.
"Divine status is bound to be useful; otherwise, why would it be called divine," Suolin replied.
"Had I known that just showing my divine status would be effective, why would I have bothered fighting so hard in the first place?" Long Yi said, approaching the giant monster.
This giant monster was composed entirely of muscle ford from large Leviathan worms and a tal frawork for its skeleton. Long Yi observed the intricate patterns on the tal and was certain that the precision of this thing was absolutely not low. Moreover, Leviathan worms essentially do not use this type of combat thod. Where on earth did it learn it from?
"Disarm yourself, Leviathan worm," Long Yi commanded.
"As you wish... great being..." the giant monster bood in response. Then nurous large worms detached from their tal skeletal armor and gathered into a mass beside it. Long Yi could see a tetrahedron clearly located in the middle of the large skeletal armor. If he was not mistaken, there should also be a person inside.
Long Yi flew over and reached out to extract the tetrahedron. He had just tossed it aside when the quiet and stationary giant skeleton suddenly let out a booming sound. Long Yi thought it was going to explode, but he saw the runes on the skeleton shine brightly, and to his astonishnt, it started moving on its own!
"Damn it! So there was a fail-safe!"
The skeleton’s claws were already reaching for Long Yi, but before it could grasp him, a fine gold double took a thunderous fall, grabbing the skeleton’s forearm and then breaking it with a violent twist, followed by a horrific sound of tal breaking—the skeleton’s forearm was snapped off directly.
But as a chanical construct, having a broken forearm did not an it lost its combat capability. The remaining part of the skeleton shone even more brilliantly and attacked Long Yi with blade-like ferocity!
"Tough guy, you sure are ruthless!" Long Yi roared. His Fighting Aura mixed with Divine Power and exploded violently, completely shattering the skeleton and scattering tal fragnts everywhere. But this did not an the end of everything, as those tal fragnts began to glow with runes again and reassembled in the air!
"Copied the ability of the Nightmare Knight Order?"
Ruosha had inford Long Yi through the contract that because she had underestimated the power of these monsters and rashly used the Nightmare Knight Order, the monsters had learned the reassembly ability of the Nightmare Knights, making them many tis more difficult to deal with.
Of course, this ability was not infinite. The Nightmare Knight Order depended on a core developed by the Giant, which was essentially an infinite energy source. But these monsters did not have such a core; they relied on the energy stored within the tal skeleton. Once the energy was depleted and could not be replenished, reassembly would fail.
Then, it would self-destruct completely, with shattered tal flying all over the place, causing multidirectional damage.
Long Yi watched the tal skeleton’s reassembly and pondered for a mont. Clearly, this thing was not remotely controlled, or it would never have carried a tetrahedron as a pilot. So now, it must be fighting purely on instinct, aning that if it did not reach the threshold for self-destruction, an explosion would not occur.
In that case, why should I be afraid?
As soon as the reassembly of the skeletal armor was complete, Long Yi had already rushed out. He grabbed the skull of the skeleton and pressed it firmly to the ground, unleashing the imnse power of the Giant mixed with Divine Power. Long Yi wanted to understand the exact structure of this thing. He quickly discovered an energy source hidden in a corner of the giant monster’s body, and this energy source actually reacted to Long Yi’s Divine Power!
Boom!
The fine gold double ripped open the surface of the tal armor and reached in to grasp a cluster of tal structures. Among the handful of tal structures, Long Yi astonishingly saw a small tetrahedron!
Golden! Familiar patterns, familiar energy fluctuations!
