Crossing the battlefield was not a good choice, but Li Aozi knew that it was definitely the most reliable option at that mont.
However, he had already decelerated, and it was impossible to speed up back to the previous peak speed.
Li Aozi cald down, weaving through the gaps of the cross LASER beams while observing the battle.
According to his mory, during the Battle of the Eye of the Galaxy, the Crystal Tower and the Night Butterfly Federation were fiercely fighting over the ownership of a planet, "Corinna," a war that lasted centuries. In the grand scale of the universe, it wasn’t actually long, but such events between two independent civilizations were indeed rare.
Crystal Tower regarded Corinna Star as the holy land of their civilization, with extrely rich magical resources and a favorable natural environnt, highly suitable for their magical technology. It was directly related to their future developnt, so they spent a lot of money on developnt and immigration, focusing on it for the past four hundred years.
The Night Butterfly Federation believed that Corinna was their origin planet. Although they had left their holand and developed for twenty thousand years, Corinna Star was the cradle of the Night Butterfly Clan, a spiritual holy land.
Twenty thousand years later, the descendants of the Night Butterfly Federation returned to this starfield. In reality, due to the passage of ti, people’s mories of their holand had faded a lot, but seeing Crystal Tower govern Corinna so well, with such vitality and flourishing scenes, they imdiately had other thoughts.
The Night Butterfly Federation first migrated a large population and purchased a vast amount of property resources in Corinna Star, setting up developnt companies to gradually erode the local bases. Later, through forceful expulsion and suppression, they drove out the local citizens of the Crystal Tower.
As neither civilization had joined any narrative-level civilization or interstellar political organization, and both were unrecognized regis in the universe, neither looked up to the other nor expected any help, they imdiately started fighting.
Attacking each other’s civilian fleets beca routine, poisoning each other’s water and supply points was a courtesy, and sending high-level experts to conduct terrorist attacks in each other’s capitals was endless, even bombarding each other’s surface gatherings with primary orbital cannons.
In continuous conflict, the hatred between them grew deeper into every citizen’s heart, becoming deeply rooted, even though both sides committed innurable cris.
If either civilization had joined a legal interstellar organization, their leaders would have faced military tribunals.
Unfortunately, history allows no ifs. Precisely because no third-party force intervened to diate, the entire universe cared little about these two illegal civilizations’ mutual slaughter and hatred. It beca just a dishonorable battle for people to chat over als.
However, due to the unique status of these two civilizations, Li Aozi knew that both sides possessed so unregistered teleportation nodes.
Most of these teleportation nodes were built in the Primordial Era by the Chief Gods of Starry Abyss to fight against the invading Destroyers. Until now, few remain functional, and continued use could easily lead to uncontrollable threats, normally strictly forbidden.
In the Battle of the Eye of the Galaxy, the Night Butterfly Federation and the Crystal Tower used a lot of these teleport nodes, leading to the collapse of many old and disrepair nodes and causing erosion by Void Force, with nurous civilians suffering as a result.
Li Aozi happened to know two such nodes. He carefully examined the surrounding battle situation, maneuvering through the battlefield continuously.
At this point, the fatal issue with the Armor of Leoz beca apparent: although it had strong radiation protection and pressure resistance, providing decent cosmic adaptability, its physical armor defense was far inferior to normal spaceships.
Especially in such an intense battlefield, a spark of Dragon Breath from a Golden Dragon Monk could probably end him instantly.
As for activating optical invisibility, the reconnaissance chanisms for anti-optical camouflage were abundant for both interstellar civilizations.
Therefore, Li Aozi maxed his speed, charging directly toward the Golden Dragon.
Golden Dragons were the most orderly among the Dragon Kind. If the cold and rigorous Night Butterfly Federation were to open fire first on his unknown target, the Golden Dragon was unlikely to attack such a small, non-threatening entity.
The Neutron Torpedo behind closely chased after him. No matter how many sharp turns Li Aozi made in the air, it was futile against the light-radiated propulsion of the torpedo. It locked onto his position firmly, especially with the conspicuous Biological Pool at his back, making him a lighthouse in the dark to their tracking system.
"Tsk! This is really endless—"
Li Aozi couldn’t help but turn in mid-air, using Gravity to pick up the wreckage of two battleships, having them accompany him like satellites to guard himself.
[Death Link]
He quickly operated, binding the two battleships with himself to share the damage. They orbited him at high speed, intercepting an incoming Neutron Torpedo. The torpedo exploded with a torrential rain of radiation plus, but the high-speed rotation of the battleships and the resulting centripetal force twisted away the initial scattering neutron stream.
With the cooperation of [Death Link], most of the damage was mitigated, and the remaining radiation was absorbed by the Armor of Leoz.
[Warning! You have received severe radiation damage and acquired the negative status ’Genetic Damage’]
[Genetic Damage]:
Effect 1—While under this status, you will lose one Arcane Energy ability every 20 minutes, starting with Dominate Arcane Energy and finally temporarily suspending using Core Arcane until you remove this status.
Effect 2—Conduct a [Constitution] check every ten minutes. If the check fails, deduct 10% of your maximum Health Points. For the next 20 natural years, your reproductive function will be impaired, unable to produce normal offspring.
Effect 3—Reduce 1.5% of current maximum Health Points every second.
[Warning! You are within a high-radiation field!]
Li Aozi hastily discarded the two neutron radiation-bathed satellites, and the Blood of Eternity in the Power Pod was banned from use.
"Damn it! They even banned Nomi’s Arcane Energy on the first hit!"
The explosive kinetic energy slowed Li Aozi down completely. He gave up resisting the remaining Neutron Torpedo, as the magical beams scattered around him with significantly lower hit rates than technological weapons, and he didn’t want to be a sacrifice. He flew straight toward the Golden Dragon.
The Golden Dragon Monk instantly beca aware of the abnormality nearby. It slapped away a close-range swordsman and glanced at Li Aozi.
[You have been subjected to [Dragon’s Gaze]. Since your species is not Dragonborn, you will undergo a [Will] check.]
[Specialty: Decisive Action activated! This check will change to [Charm]]
[Check passed! Your [Charm] exceeds the minimum requirent (100 points)]
[Notice: Due to the opponent’s specialty [Guardian of the Four Spirits], you will undergo four checks for each attribute during this judgnt.]
[Notice: Due to the opponent’s specialty [Supernatural Bodily Transformation], you must conduct a [Constitution] check.]
[Specialty: Decisive Action activated! This check will change to [Charm]]
[Check passed! Your [Charm] exceeds the minimum requirent (100 points)]
[Notice: Due to the opponent’s specialty [Guardian of the Four Spirits], you will undergo four checks for each attribute during this judgnt.]
In that brief mont, over 20 continuous will checks popped up in front of Li Aozi, each attribute asured once, along with height, species, morality, faith, and nationality.
In just an instant, a huge amount of information flooded Li Aozi’s nerves due to repeated checks, almost overheating his system.
For such matters, Li Aozi was no stranger. With Specialty: Decisive Action and his focused specialization attribute points, he rarely needed to worry about judgnt failures unless encountering extrely rare cases like the Secret Society.
The Golden Dragon Monk hesitated slightly, seemingly considering whether Li Aozi posed a threat. After all, on the battlefield, everyone’s life hung by a thread, and no one wanted to risk their own or their comrades’ lives due to negligence or misplaced rcy.
[Notice: Your skill [Aura of Goodwill] is now active]
[Before you exhibit any aggression, ’Yachi Dukin Monson’ will not take the initiative to attack you]
Seeing the Golden Dragon Monk’s hesitant gaze, Li Aozi quickly accelerated. In a vacuum where no sound could be heard, and without any Soul Arcane Energy to communicate, he seized the chance to flee.
[King’s Carriage Displacent]
Li Aozi split off a phantom, imdiately throwing out a decoy that fled in the opposite direction. However, lacking Li Aozi’s initial speed, it was quickly identified by the onboard detection system. After chasing a few hundred kiloters, the system turned back again to pursue him.
But that was enough for him to escape.
