[Spontaneous Combustion]
Li Aozi kept retreating, holding up his long sword, which quickly burst into intense flas, and then he stabbed the blade into his own chest with a backward thrust.
Boom!
Kale and Chandler’s bodies imdiately showed signs of high-temperature burns, but their own physical resilience shrugged them off; they were not scientists like Liue who were ignorant of Martial Force, but true Zeta Rank Professional warriors. With a turn of energy, they completely avoided bursting into flas.
Shing!
Li Aozi thrust his sword into the ground and spread his arms wide, tearing open the exclusive space leading to the Elent Pool. His spiritual power spread rapidly, guiding and under his strong elental affinity, the agitated burning elents each responded to his call, fervently converging on this spot.
The fierce burning elents took root upon touching the ground, spreading like an ocean, using concrete and fla as their body; they picked up war hamrs from the lava and transford into ferocious Elental Giants. They turned their heads and faced the company’s employees, opening their skeletal maws wide to let out spine-chilling, terrifying howls.
[Elental Communities]—Architecture Generation!
"An Architect!" Chandler raised his hand, and a spinning blade coalesced into a massive saw. He casually threw it, bisecting countless Burning Colossi, but since these Elental Giants were sustained by the firey environnt, they rely collapsed for a mont before jubilantly rising again, swinging their molten war hamrs as they charged.
"He has accomplices?" Kale lifted an entire wall and swung it around carelessly like a fly swatter, flipping and sweeping away the giants, but still couldn’t contain the spread of the inferno.
"No, just him alone."
"Are you kidding ? How can anyone possibly master both Arcane Energy and Architectural skills?"
Li Aozi’s response was straightforward.
He spread his arms and guided in so Atmospheric Elents, creating a violent gale.
The wind fueled the fire, and the burning further reduced air density, intensifying the movent of air molecules, thereby stoking the wind’s fury.
Gravity imdiately added to the montum, instantaneously dispersing the flas.
"Let the Echo rise!"
The blaze grew more violent under the pull of the Echo Force, continuously expanding and burning, unceasingly spreading even under the fire suppression system’s spray.
His flas were endless, the voice of the intense fire resounding and soaring high.
Ripples of expansion rose incessantly from the earth’s surface, endlessly oscillating and propagating, transmitting the signal of this assault through the starry sky.
Even people millions of light-years away could discern the ssage from the spreading gravitational waves.
In the end, when the news satellites detected the signal and aid their caras at the Velazquez Building— the entire edifice was engulfed in the sea of flas.
Kale and Chandler bore linked marks on their bodies, not daring to break through the flas for fear of causing more casualties to their own people. If they continued to fight like this, Velazquez’s forces would be entirely depleted.
"Damn it, what are the fire departnts doing? Why aren’t they coming to support!"
Kale dialed communications repeatedly, but the disappearing signal made his expression turn ugly:
"Communications have been cut off, it’s the fire causing it—no! There’s sothing off about this fire."
[Calamity]
Li Aozi skirted the edge of the fire scene, releasing the Amber Dragon he had previously purchased, standing on the wyvern’s back, his eyes reflecting the red-purple nebula, as he cursed the building.
A minor electrical fault caused a power strip to short circuit, burning down the distribution room, leading to a power outage throughout the building.
An evacuating janitor accidentally struck the wall in the parking lot, resulting in premature tal fatigue in the load-bearing column and triggering the collapse of an entire floor.
Underground, the Valenkov engine hit a trough, causing stress imbalance, and triggered a local earthquake in Velazquez.
People walked through the dense smoke of the fire, cohorts falling around them, utterly unaware that the probability of asphyxiation from silicosis and respiratory burns was rising exponentially.
Thump—thump—thump!
The thin atmosphere of the high-rise imdiately distorted, and three ’Qiong’er’ class small warships bearing the Velazquez insignia Fold Jumped into view. The fleet’s commander saw Velazquez’s precarious situation.
"Quick! Get in touch with young master Andrew, where are our people?"
They risked encroaching on Valenkov’s airspace to co to the rescue, not for so corporate asset, but because communication with young master Andrew had been cut off from them.
In that instant, a chill ran down everyone’s spine, with no one knowing if the young master would et with misfortune and if they themselves would be held accountable by the chairman of Velazquez, who was akin to a deity.
But due to restraint and political considerations, they didn’t imdiately activate the fleet’s main weapons. Instead, they rely powered up the plasma anti-aircraft cannons, to defend against terrorist attacks.
Even so, such actions still attracted a horde of Valenkov civilians onto the streets. They raised various devices to film and observe, the excited crowd jeering loudly:
"Get out! Company dogs!"
"The bastards from Velazquez actually dare to descend their warships onto our holand!"
"Where is the Air Force? The company is violating our sovereignty! Shoot them down!"
The fleet in the high skies didn’t care about the civilians’ outrage, what made them even more anxious at this mont was Andrew in the sea of fire.
"The Velazquez ground troops are converging, but there is still no ssage from the young master."
"Damn it, get Chandler, if sothing has happened to Andrew, I’ll skin this Steel Elf alive!"
The people on the ships were in a state of chaos when suddenly, the main control computer’s AI urgently sounded an alarm:
"Warning! High-energy reaction detected! An unidentified flying object is approaching at high speed. Anti-air firepower has been activated!"
Before the people on the ships could react, a massive array of plasma cannons had already protruded from the deck and opened fire on the rapidly approaching target.
Whizz whizz whizz whizz!
Streams of hot blue light, accelerated to near light-speed like thrown spears, converged with precision on the target rising from below.
If one were at a distance, they would witness this bizarre scene—a huge ship bombarding a tiny black dot with concentrated fire, the energy so intensely focused that it even penetrated the target, the searing column of light striking straight onto the ground and turning a mountaintop into glass-like crystalline.
"He’s done for."
No matter who it was, upon seeing this, that would be the thought that ca unbidden.
Whoosh...
The cold wind scattered the grey-white plasma smoke, and the crew of the fleet instantly relaxed.
"No high-energy reaction detected, the warning has been lifted."
No matter what, they had at least eradicated the attacker, which was so consolation.
Bang!
The next mont, a violent tallic collision sound resonated from the leading ship.
"Look, that ship!"
The ship’s form slowly compressed, every inch of its deck undulating like waves, as if pounded and struck by teors, its tal skin peeling off, the main engine instantly blown out by the high pressure.
Then, under the eyes of thousands, it bent forcibly.
Crack!
The shipboard AI hesitated for a mont, and reported incredulously:
"Warning! Approaching a large mass celestial body!"
Crash!
Valenkov’s mouth gaped open on the ground.
They watched helplessly as the corporations’ invincible warship beca shattered, twisted, and bent under an invisible colossal force, completely disintegrating.
While people were still intoxicated by the smoke from the plasma cannons, Li Aozi had already used gravity to tear apart a warship.
"This is—Arcane Energy! Quick, deploy the Higgs counterforce field!"
Bang!
The fleet reacted imdiately, the protective force field activated in an instant, Li Aozi’s figure was suppressed, and the output efficiency of the Arcane Energy dropped instantly.
The broken ship’s body was disassembled and split, turning into raw smithing materials, and his isolated, tiny figure also beca visible in the sky.
His body re-floated in the heavens, standing atop the spine of the Amber Dragon, grasping a long sword in one hand, facing two warships alone.
"Zaniya."
"Aoo aoo, got it!"
Zaniya sneered:
"Activate! Vivid Demon Iron Monarch!"
