Chapter 1378 Showdown

Sagman and the others were intimidated by Han Xiao's out-of-spec energy fluctuations and were still immersed in shock. They did not expect Black Star to really act as soon as he said he would, and were immediately shocked. They hurriedly took defensive measures.

Rumble rumble rumble——

In the next moment, more than a dozen Super-A Grade figures were instantly submerged in the vast ocean of the mechanical legion.

Once they exchanged blows, the horror in everyone's heart became even stronger, and they felt unparalleled pressure from the mechanical legion.

If it was an ordinary Super-A Grade Mechanic's troops, they could easily kill their way in and out, but Han Xiao's mechanical legion made them feel as if they were stuck in a quagmire, trapped in it, unable to move, and unable to break through the blockade. Only K’Su-Ye and Selaon were able to move freely.

This was not only because the scale of the mechanical legion that Han Xiao himself brought was dozens of times that of the two mechanics present, but also because the combat power of the mechanical troops exceeded their imagination. The mechanical force's combat power bonus to the mechanical warriors was terrifyingly strong, a whole level higher!

Han Xiao already possessed the \[Perfect Mechanical Sense] feat. At this time, using Nero's character card again, stacking double perfect mechanical sense, directly raised Han Xiao's mechanical affinity to a new realm.

Faced with this overwhelming pressure, the Super-A Grades of Guanghui and Xuling did not have time to think about other things, and subconsciously joined forces to block the mechanical legion's offensive.

Boom!

The battle broke out, and instantly entered a white-hot and fierce state, turning into a chaotic melee.

In the endless black tide of the mechanical legion, there were more than a dozen light spheres moving in this ocean. Countless beams of light continuously converged towards these more than a dozen light spheres. These light spheres were the battlefields where the mechanical legion besieged each Super-A Grade.

"How can his combat power soar to this level!" Sagman said in a shocked tone.

"The last time Black Star went all out was the Lighthouse Star Battle. Now, more than twenty years have passed, and this is the second time he has gone all out. He has become so much stronger!" Taylordi was suspicious, both frightened and envious.

More than twenty years ago, these Xuling brothers who participated in the Lighthouse Star Battle still had a fresh memory of Han Xiao's performance. Now that more than twenty years have passed, they know that Black Star has become stronger, but they didn't expect him to become so strong!

"This level of pressure feels like the Mechanic Emperor..." K’Su-Ye's face was solemn.

He was also within Han Xiao's attack range. At this time, he was mainly dodging and paddling, secretly thinking about the next script, and did not immediately counterattack with all his strength.

Black Star suddenly took action, which he could understand. As the attacked party, Black Star could not let them retreat easily. He had to show an attitude of counterattack, but the combat power that Black Star burst out at this time exceeded K’Su-Ye's expectations.

Just then, Selaon said in a deep voice, his tone unable to hide his shock:

"This is… Extreme Path Style – Cellular Hyperlimit!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Isn't this a burst skill of the Martial Arts system? How can Black Star use it? Isn't he a Mechanic!

"I'm not mistaken, the aura emanating from Black Star is the feeling of this move, squeezing one's own potential to temporarily exchange for a higher level of power!" Selaon said decisively, "No matter why Black Star can use this move, the principle will not change!"

This statement was quickly accepted, and everyone's expressions suddenly became complicated, looking past the mechanical legion and towards Han Xiao with surprised and shocked eyes.

The meaning is… Black Star is willing to burn his own potential in order to keep them here?!

He could have let them retreat voluntarily, but is it worth it to be so desperate?!

In this case, it is not surprising why Black Star has this level of combat power, after all, it is only temporary.

——But this level of explosive power is still scary!

Seeing Han Xiao's firm attitude, many people began to waver.

K’Su-Ye sighed secretly.

Originally, he was a little unhappy when he saw Han Xiao suddenly stealing the show, and he planned to stop him, but when he saw Black Star's clear and firm attitude, K’Su-Ye gave up the idea of going all out.

Since Black Star had made a bloody investment, he planned to give him some face and let Black Star have his way. After all, acting had to be a complete set, and he believed that Black Star had a sense of propriety.

On the side, Hela saw Han Xiao showing great power, and her spirits lifted. She was both shocked and excited, but when she heard this statement, she was stunned.

In the next second, Hela's eyes suddenly turned blood red, instantly filled with rage and killing intent!

She didn't expect that Black Star would not hesitate to burn his potential. The source of this was that Black Star did this to save her?!

A burst of soul-piercing heartache suddenly surged out, flooding her heart.

Hela stiffly turned her head, and the look in her eyes towards Han Xiao changed, leaving only a deep-seated regret and guilt, and her mood was agitated.

"I…"

Hela opened her mouth to say something, but Han Xiao waved his hand, interrupting her, and said calmly:

"There's no need to say anything, I'm fine."

"…I'm sorry."

Hela pursed her lips, her fists clenched suddenly, and without saying a word, she rushed into the battle formation.

Death energy was like a storm, rushing towards the Super-A Grades of Xuling with her, and all the raging anger was poured out on the enemy!

Looking at Hela's uncontrollable killing intent, Han Xiao looked helpless.

The after-effects of Extreme Path Style – Cellular Hyperlimit are a permanent increase of 7% in character and skill upgrade costs, which is equivalent to burning potential… However, what this group of people didn't know was that Han Xiao was using the Overlord's Character Summon Card. Although it could only be used once, the Character Summon Card did not provide side effects, which was equivalent to having no after-effects.

Selaon's misjudgment caused a misunderstanding among everyone.

"Let it be a misunderstanding, it's not a bad thing, but it's beneficial to me." Han Xiao shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't explain it.

Some of these character cards can only be used once, temporarily obtaining out-of-spec combat power, and using them to exchange for permanent abilities is naturally a good deal.

He is now filled with an unprecedented sense of power. The Overlord's character card allows his basic attributes and ability strength to be overclocked, temporarily reaching the level of the next advancement, and the dual mechanical sense also allows his mechanical troops' combat power to soar. Superimposing the two makes his combat power reach a terrifying level.

And the biggest increase is in the Apostle Weapons and other elite combat power.

…

Swoosh!

Red Demon Tolaine leaned back, narrowly avoiding Youzu's simple and unadorned war spear thrust. The thick mana shield was split in two, and a deep wound was cut into the bone-spiked chest, revealing the copper-colored sternum.

Tolaine hurriedly flicked his tail, using the bone spurs on the tail to slap Youzu's mechanical body. Youzu was not flustered, and calmly held the spear shaft horizontally, directly resisting it.

Bang!

The spear and bone collided, and a shockwave burst out!

Tolaine is a close combat mage who focuses on amplifying himself. He has superimposed a large number of amplification spells, and his strength is very strong. However, Youzu, who was wrapped in golden mechanical force, blocked the heavy demon tail and competed with it, and did not retreat.

"Help, help! His Apostle Weapons are too strong!" Tolaine exclaimed.

With the mechanical force bonus of the dual mechanical sense, Youzu alone made him feel pressure.

Moreover, there was more than just Youzu attacking him. Zhen Tianqi, Zi Tianling and other melee factions, as well as Yin Shanguang, Chi Huo Tuan and other ranged outputters, all of the Apostle Weapons were besieging Tolaine.

Han Xiao's plan was to use the mechanical legion to contain the others, and then focus the elite to attack one target and break them down one by one.

"You're really useless!" Sagman was also trapped in the encirclement and was fighting fiercely with the mechanical legion. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

But he couldn't help his own people, so he had to provide assistance in the midst of his busy schedule, turning his head and launching an attack on the Apostle Weapons besieging Tolaine. A surging wave of light energy shot out.

Buzz!

At this moment, countless nanites poured out in the middle zone, suddenly turning into a large fortress, separating Tolaine's battlefield.

A stream of light slid across the surface of this large mechanical fortress, quickly converging to form a translucent arc-shaped light curtain, blocking the front of the light energy impact.

Boom boom boom——

Sagman's attacks all hit this light-gold light curtain, and in an instant, electric arcs shot out and the strong light was dazzling!

Soon, the light of the explosion dissipated, and the light curtain stood still, its brilliance flowing and slightly flashing, blocking this wave of attacks and protecting the mechanical fortress tightly.

"What strong defense!" Sagman was taken aback.

This mechanical fortress is one of Han Xiao's Apostle Weapons, named Yutian Bi. This light curtain has properties similar to Youzu's war spear. It is also a companion weapon of the Apostle Weapon, named "Guardian Wall", which is mainly for defense.

And Yutian Bi has more than one companion weapon, there is also another attack nature of "Ion Green Flame".

The fortress stretched out a large number of gun barrels, spewing out a green light, pouring firepower on Sagman and others. This is his unique "Ion Green Flame", a special plasma energy, which not only has lethality, but also has a variety of special effects.

"Damn, I'm isolated." Tolaine was shocked at the sight of this. Just as he was about to get rid of the entanglement and join his teammates, a chilling sense of alertness emerged.

In an instant, a dark and small beam of light quietly struck from the gaps in the surrounding mechanical troops, easily penetrating the mana shield. Tolaine hurriedly dodged, but was still hit in the shoulder by this beam of light.

Bang!!

In the next moment, a huge through-hole suddenly exploded in Tolaine's shoulder, directly dealing true damage.

He covered the wound and dodged, looking around in panic at the direction the light came from. He saw a black humanoid Apostle Weapon holding a special firearm aimed at him.

As Tolaine looked over, the Apostle Weapon suddenly became invisible and disappeared without a trace.

——Dark Heaven Shadow, a sniper assassin-type Apostle Weapon, companion weapon "Stealth Coating", has specific and extremely powerful stealth, sneak, camouflage, environmental occlusion and other functions. The firearm in his hand is also a highly concentrated sniper-type firearm, which is extremely lethal to single targets.

"Damn it, what kind of weapon is this? The recovery power is suppressed…"

Before Tolaine could catch his breath, Arcane Envoy also arrived, blasting a thick beam of light from a distance. Tolaine could only barely unfold his mana shield to resist.

However, Chaos Arcane also possesses mental attributes. Although Tolaine blocked the attack, his soul was also impacted, interrupting his spellcasting.

Taking this opportunity, Hela did not hold back, death energy was like a storm, bombarding Tolaine, leaving him bruised and battered, and covered in blood.

"Why is everyone hitting me?" Tolaine wanted to cry but had no tears.

Looking around the audience, he is currently in the worst situation.

I'm just a tender new Super-A Grade, aren't you bullying me!

Tolaine's situation was precarious, and Sagman and others were also anxious, discussing countermeasures:

"Black Star's mechanical legion is too large, and their combat power is too strong. We can't be contained here. We must attack Black Star himself. Taylordi, use the forbidden spell scroll on him."

"He has an immortal body, can we hurt him?"

"We have to do it now, there's no other way. Let's focus our fire together with the forbidden spell." Sagman said angrily.

Hearing this, Taylordi did not hesitate to tear open an offensive forbidden spell scroll.

Whoosh whoosh——

Black magic meteors shot out from the scroll, piercing through the psionic shields along the way, heading straight for Han Xiao's main body——This spell has extremely strong energy penetration, extremely high defense-breaking ability, and powerful attack power. It was originally intended to be one of the trump cards used to severely damage Hela.

Sagman and the others were not idle, cooperating with the forbidden spell, and collectively fired at Han Xiao. Light energy impacts, martial arts fluctuations, high-risk spells, and psionic cannons were all thrown in the direction of Han Xiao, forming a powerful offensive frenzy.

The violent energy fluctuations here attracted the attention of the Guanghui people who were fighting not far away. They turned their heads to look at the situation of this focus fire, and were secretly shocked… If they were to face such an offensive, most of the Super-A Grades present would have to temporarily avoid its edge.

The violent energy rushed towards him, but Han Xiao was not flustered. He did not move from his spot, but with a wave of his palm, spherical mechanical discs quickly gathered together. Each disc was a piece of Time Amber, and they immediately formed a double-layered shield wall in front of Han Xiao.

Swoosh——

All the ranged energy attacks all slid off the Time Amber spheres like water encountering a reef, and could not hurt Han Xiao in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank, and they were filled with jealousy.

The existence of Time Amber is no longer a secret. Han Xiao's arrival also represents that this almost unsolvable cosmic treasure has arrived.

Even the attacks of the Pantheon Scepter can be blocked. At this time, the threat of ranged attacks to Han Xiao's main body has been reduced to the lowest point… And even without Time Amber, his own durability is enough to withstand the attacks.

It's too difficult to hurt Black Star's main body!

"You can use mental attacks to deal with his main body!" Hedyce said anxiously.

Both Jinghun and Hedyce are Psionicists. They condensed their strongest psionic power and attacked Han Xiao's spirit from the air. Seeing this, K’Su-Ye thought about it and also pretended to do something, applying a weakened mental impact to Han Xiao.

Psionicists are experts in mental attacks. They can attack the target's soul out of thin air, which is very difficult to defend against.

"My weakness has long been made up for."

Han Xiao's expression did not change, and he directly activated Sisko's character card, \[Psychokinesis - Wall of the Heart]!

He stood still, but Jinghun and Hedyce, who had used all their strength, shook violently, and their psionic power suddenly weakened, suffering a mental trauma in the opposite direction.

Sisko's character card can greatly reduce the actual damage of mental attacks, and at the same time, it will also reflect a part of the damage. Jinghun and Hedyce did not hold back and ate their own attacks, while K’Su-Ye was just pretending and was not unlucky.

Jinghun was fine, his strength was stronger, and he also had the Star Power Crown, a psionic power-enhancing cosmic treasure, so the injury was very slight, but Hedyce's strength was insufficient, and he immediately suffered a big loss.

"He can also reflect mental damage?!"

Hedyce's face was pale and he was shocked.

Does this guy have no weaknesses? How can he do everything?!

One person and one crystal did not believe in evil, but the more they attacked, the more mental damage was reflected. Han Xiao maintained a calm appearance, but the two Psionicists were injured by their own attacks.

Grand Technician Han relied on his own mental resistance to resist many mental damages, but taking damage is not as good as reflecting it. Facing more than a dozen opponents, he did not let go of any opportunity to weaken the enemy's combat power.

…

After fighting for a while, the many experts of Guanghui and Xuling were very passive, trapped in the vast ocean of the mechanical legion and unable to move.

Such a huge scale of mechanical troops, coupled with Han Xiao's true damage specialization, the effect on Super-A Grades is not only containment. If everyone is not careful, and takes a few rounds of focus fire with their physical bodies, they will fall on the spot, so everyone's nerves are tense.

If they were dealing with an ordinary Mechanic, more than a dozen Super-A Grades would have already rushed up to their faces, but facing Black Star, most people simply cannot generate the desire to charge.

——Too durable, so durable that there is no idea!

However, this does not include Selaon. As a peak Super-A Grade martial artist, he can still charge left and right in the highly buffed mechanical legion.

He, like Overlord, has a true damage immunity specialization, so he has the ability to ignore the focus fire of the mechanical legion and fight in the mechanical pile, but the few mechanical warriors he kills are just a drop in the bucket compared to the whole.

Selaon's arm muscles bulged, and he spewed out a martial arts fluctuation enough to destroy a star at Han Xiao, but it was still refracted by the Time Amber and could not hit Han Xiao at all. Seeing this, he could not help but grit his teeth and calmly talk to K’Su-Ye.

"Let's cooperate. You use your telekinesis to contain the mechanical legion and help me get close to Black Star. You also know my explosive power. I don't ask to kill him, just try to control Black Star."

K’Su-Ye: "I don't have any energy."

Hearing this, Selaon almost suffocated.

When he was fighting with me just now, he was full of energy, and his mana was like he couldn't use it up. Now you say you're impotent, are you lying to me?!

Selaon was extremely annoyed, so he threw K’Su-Ye away, crashed into the mechanical warriors along the way, and charged towards Han Xiao. All four of his arms were wrapped in highly concentrated martial arts flames, as if plated with a layer of black paint.

"Hmph, I knew you would charge up."

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and had been prepared for a long time. He immediately activated his skills, and some of the mechanical warriors flew towards him and quickly combined.

In the next moment, the mechanical god spanning the universe descended again!

As soon as it appeared, the mechanical god twisted its hips, swung its arm, and punched Selaon, a ball of white impact light shrouded its fist, fusing psionic power and force field.

Four black fists collided with the mechanical iron fist that was hundreds of millions of times larger.

Bang!!

A super-giant ring-shaped shock wave exploded and spread in the universe!

The mechanical god's arm armor was rapidly disintegrating under the impact, the range spreading towards the shoulder. A large number of mechanical parts exploded. Due to the disadvantage of volume, Selaon was knocked away an unknown distance by this punch, and the speed was faster than he flew over.

In the competition of strength, the two sides were evenly matched.

"If I punch down like this, I'm afraid the star core can be taken out. This guy Selaon can face it head-on. He deserves to be a peak Super-A Grade martial artist."

Han Xiao's mind moved slightly.

At this moment, Mecaster Francesco saw the mechanical god appear, his eyes flashed, and he immediately contacted Guanghui's Mechanical Queen Molnisa.

"He used the mechanical god. This is our opportunity. You, me, and Roma, who is assisting remotely, will jointly perform a virtual intrusion on the mechanical god. Even if Han Xiao is a virtual mechanic, he has to deal with our intrusion carefully."

"Okay." Molnisa nodded solemnly.

At this juncture, the Super-A Grades of Guanghui and Xuling had to temporarily join forces, each showing their magical powers, to resist the "potential burning" big boss Black Star.

The three mechanics quickly joined forces in the virtual layer, and a green data stream surged out, attacking Han Xiao's virtual firewall.

Han Xiao immediately noticed the enemy's actions and smiled playfully.

"Oh, you want to intrude on me?"

With the advantage of virtual specialization plus dual mechanical sense, Han Xiao's virtual technology bonus is extremely high at this time.

And among the three enemies, only the "Guardian" Roma is a virtual mechanic. The other two are other specialized branches, and Roma did not send the Dominator avatar here. It is okay to defend the main intelligence, but the power of the virtual intrusion is much worse.

In the virtual layer, Han Xiao and the three immediately launched a bloodless fight. The three kept trying to intrude, but Han Xiao's defense line was as solid as gold, tightly guarding the back door.

On the contrary, the three were virtually intruded by Han Xiao along the link. There were two people on the Guanghui side, plus the computing power of the main intelligence, which could barely block Han Xiao's data probes.

However, Mecaster Francesco was alone, alone and weak, and he was not specialized in virtual technology. The defense line was weak, and he was the focus of Han Xiao's attack. The back door was poked full of holes.

His mechanical troops rebelled and became Han Xiao's combat power supplement, and in turn attacked his teammates.

"I can't do it!" Mecaster Francesco couldn't bear it, and even the actions of the Dominator avatar became stagnant.

At this moment, a mechanical giant hand like a sky curtain stretched over, directly grabbing Francesco's Dominator avatar, which had no time to dodge, and then squeezed it hard.

Click!

Francesco's Dominator avatar turned into a pile of scrap metal, the carrier was broken, and the power of the descent was automatically withdrawn.

Han Xiao curled his lips and casually threw away the wreckage of Francesco's avatar.

"Heh, little crispy."

These mechanics who use the Dominator Descend can't be caught. They can cancel the skill at any time. If you want them to exit, just break their Dominator avatar.

After all, not every mechanic's Dominator avatar can be as durable as his.

Seeing this scene, Molnisa dispelled the idea of actively invading in depression, and could only focus on consolidating the defense line and trying not to let Han Xiao break through.

At this moment, the battle situation suddenly changed.

Under the siege of many Apostle Weapons and Hela, Tolaine could not resist at all.

The output of the surrounding mechanical legion accounted for the majority. Tolaine did not have the ability to immune true damage. The life value was frantically plummeting in the focus fire of the mechanical legion. The other teammates were all contained and had the intention but lacked the strength to support.

Bang bang bang——

"Ah!!"

Tolaine was once again submerged in the artillery fire. He was already at the end of his rope, and this time he finally reached his limit.

There was almost no good flesh on his body. The demon horn was broken, and his spirit was tormented by Hela and Arcane Envoy into a chaotic state, and he fell into a long-term state of confusion, seriously injured and lost his combat power.

Hela was full of killing intent and was about to kill, but Han Xiao made the mechanical god stretch out his hand and separate her.

"Don't kill."

"Why, they harmed you…" Hela gritted her teeth and couldn't bear to say it.

"It's more valuable to catch them."

Han Xiao shook his head, grabbed Tolaine, who had almost lost consciousness, and sucked him into the mechanical god's body, transporting him to his main body from the inside.

Han Xiao turned his hand and took out Time Amber, directly sealing Tolaine, who had lost his ability to resist.

Looking at this guy's frozen painful expression, Han Xiao showed a satisfied smile, like an old farmer checking the harvest of the year.

"The first one."

…

"Tolaine was caught!"

Sagman was shocked and angry. Looking at the mechanical god who had grabbed his teammate, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.

He didn't need to think about it to know that Tolaine would definitely taste the taste of Time Amber, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

Due to the special durability of Black Star's main body, everyone could not use the methods to deal with ordinary mechanics to deal with Black Star. There was only one most laborious way in front of them, which was to destroy Black Star's mechanical legion.

But Black Star is fighting on the main field, and he has also burned his potential. Coupled with the unique combat style of the Mechanic, the strength he bursts out is extremely terrifying. It can be divided into three combat power focuses. The first is the mechanical god itself, the second is the elite subordinates such as the Apostle Weapons, and the third is the huge mechanical legion.

The Mechanic's late-stage power is based on the mechanism of multi-line combat. By allocating combat power, it creates the effect of fighting more with less——The mechanical god is evenly matched with Selaon, containing a peak Super-A Grade. The mechanical legion contains many Super-A Grades, while the elite of the Apostle Weapons can be broken down one by one by focusing fire.

If he continues to fight Black Star for a long time, he doesn't know how many people on his side will be lost here.

In the past, Black Star only had strong recovery power, but now his frontal combat power has been improved, giving Sagman the image of an overwhelming level of existence that makes people despair!

"Your Excellency K’Su-Ye, what should we do now?"

Sagman couldn't help but look at the captain.

At this moment, he trusts his boss the most… but he doesn't know that the water released by K’Su-Ye is enough to gather into a vast ocean.

"Black Star only gained such power by burning his potential, it can't last long. The operation failed. It's useless to continue fighting, let's retreat." K’Su-Ye said slowly.

"What about Tolaine? Are we going to ignore him?"

"You may not even be able to get away yourself, you still have the leisure to care about others." K’Su-Ye shook his head.

Although he is the leader, he doesn't mind Black Star catching a few people to vent his anger. In his opinion, Black Star burned his potential, and it is right for the cosmic civilization to give him some compensation… Anyway, it's not his own money.

This group of Super-A Grades came to attack Hela, and they have already offended Black Star. If he is not allowed to vent his anger, it will not be in line with the ideas of the Mechanic Emperor and him.
