Chapter 155 That's Show Business

Boom!

The starship that was focused on instantly turned to ashes. Under the concentrated fire of countless naval guns, no armor could escape the fate of annihilation, not even a single piece of wreckage was left behind.

Not far away, a volatile teleportation gate opened, and Tolain stumbled out, still shaken.

Luckily, he had prepared a teleportation spell in advance, barely avoiding the concentrated fire at the critical moment. Otherwise, being severely injured before the fight even started would have been too embarrassing.

"To actually bombard me with the fleet without a word, shameless!" Tolain was both surprised and angry.

When Super-As visited and challenged each other, there was never a case where they were given so little face!

Even if my intention was to challenge, at least you should have exchanged some pleasantries. To attack me with a barrage of gunfire without saying a word is just too rude!

In his opinion, even Super-As who had grudges with each other would at least exchange some superficial pleasantries when one sought the other out for a challenge. They were all people of status, and to sweep a respectable figure like him out with a broom was a disgrace to the etiquette between Super-As! It's not just me losing face, you're losing face too!

Just then, Hela's voice echoed in the wide-area channel.

"You are my defeated opponent. Those who have been surpassed by me have no chance to catch up. I have no interest in fighting you again."

Hearing this, Tolain's nose was instantly crooked. He thought he was arrogant enough, but he didn't expect Hela to be even more arrogant.

His expression changed several times, and he decided to endure it.

"Hmph, I have a mission to carry out and I won't argue with you. Anyway, you're basically a dead person."

Tolain snorted coldly in his heart, activated a solidified magic communication rune, and contacted his teammates who were ambushing elsewhere.

"Everyone, misjudgment. Hela didn't accept the challenge. She's not falling for it and she's even shameless enough to bombard me directly. The bait plan won't work, switch to a direct assault. At least we've confirmed that she's in the base."

Soon, Sagman's reply came from the magic communication.

"Alright, change the plan, start the assault! Tolain, share your vision to locate us. Taylor-D, you open the teleportation gate and launch a surprise attack on the Star Gate first. Also, preheat the space stabilization device. After we enter, block warp and teleportation abilities so Hela has no way to escape. Be sure to act according to the original plan."

...

Hela made her way to the highest command room in the base, watching the images transmitted from the monitoring screen. In the outer space, Tolain was desperately dodging the fleet's attacks.

"He's still not leaving. He really does have a conspiracy."

Hela frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, took out the communicator, sent a message to Han Xiao, and prepared to discuss it with him.

However, in the next moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose, like a cold air rising from the tailbone, penetrating deep into the marrow.

Hela's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly looked up. In her perception, several stellar-like energy sources had suddenly appeared nearby.

"Warning! Warning! High-energy energy sources detected!"

"Warning! Warning! Star Gate is under attack, requesting support!"

The screen suddenly changed, and next to the distant Star Gate station, a magic teleportation gate suddenly appeared. Two figures stepped out, Taylor-D and Sagman.

Before the Star Gate defense forces could fire, they took the initiative to attack without saying a word, summoning a large number of monsters that surged out, overwhelming the defense fleet. Arcane shocks and endless beams with pure destructive power shattered one Star Gate after another... the surprise attack was successful.

And beside Tolain, a second, larger teleportation gate appeared. A dark mass of mechanical troops flowed out like a flood, spreading rapidly. The three leading figures were Kessuye's clone, the Wild Beast Motes, and the Overlord clone of "Mech-Disaster" Francisco, who controlled this mechanical army.

Kessuye and Motes were old acquaintances. It is worth mentioning Francisco, who was a direct expert cultivated by the Voidlings. He was a rather special existence because his main body had always been serving a prison sentence in the Voidling sect. He was generally not allowed to operate outside, and only when the Voidling sect needed his power would they allow him to use his Overlord clone to participate in combat. If he made contributions, his sentence could be reduced.

His crime was related to his nickname, Mech-Disaster, which represented the mechanical-related disasters he had caused in the past. It was also an acknowledgement of his combat power. He was an energy-branch Mechanic with a special talent. His Mech Affinity Consumption bonus was far lower than that of Mechanics of the same level, and the splash range was also far greater than that of the same level, which meant that the scale limit of the mechanical troops he could buff simultaneously was very high.

Bringing Mech-Disaster Francisco on this operation was to fight against the fleet of the legion's base and contain the mechanical troops that Black Star had placed here, responsible for large-scale legion warfare. Otherwise, with only a few Super-As, they would be distracted by the fleet.

As soon as he entered the field, Mech-Disaster took control of the mechanical troops and began to fight with the fleet of the base.

The sudden appearance of a powerful enemy caught the base's fleet off guard at first, but they quickly adjusted, and the battle instantly entered a fever pitch.

At the same time, Mech-Disaster's troops also carried a large number of space stabilization devices, wormhole counter-devices, and other equipment. All of them were activated, popping out "bubbles" that immediately stabilized the spacetime in the area, making even teleportation spells unusable.

Seeing this scene, Hela's expression immediately sank, filled with solemnity.

The enemies were prepared. Six Super-As, including a super combat force like Kessuye...

They wanted to kill me that much?

Even Hela, who was quite strong, couldn't help but tremble in her heart at this formation.

... Was this the situation Black Star faced back then?

No, perhaps it was even worse. It was simply a situation of certain death.

However, her mentality only wavered for a moment before Hela adjusted. She suppressed her negative emotions and turned them into fighting spirit, instantly feeling the blood in her body boiling as the warlike blood flowed through her veins.

Boom!

In the next moment, Hela smashed through the roof and flew straight into the sky, gritting her teeth and killing the several Super-As in the outer space who had remotely locked onto her aura.

In the process of charging, death energy was continuously released, turning into a scarlet blood cloud.

Seeing this, the Red Devil, the Wild Beast, and Mech-Disaster's Overlord clone all dived down, taking advantage of the fact that the defense fleet was entangled, quickly bypassing the blockade, and colliding with Hela in a mighty collision.

Bang!

The momentum was like a stone shattering the sky.

On the surface of the planet, a circle of red shockwaves exploded!

The blood cloud formed by death energy dissipated, and the red meteor fell to the ground at a faster speed, unable to stop.

Boom! Rumble! Rumble!

She smashed through large swaths of base clusters all the way, leaving behind a gully-like trajectory. Only then did Hela stop her momentum and stop, with dust filling the surroundings.

"Cough, cough..."

In the dust, Hela got up, her eyes fierce. She casually wiped the blood dripping from her nose and stared at the three people above.

In a head-on collision, she obviously couldn't handle the siege of three people at her current stage and was directly blown away.

At this moment, in the distance of the planet's base, a black tide of small black dots rose into the air, rapidly approaching from the distant sky, like a flock of crows covering the sky and the sun. It was the mechanical army that Han Xiao had placed in the base, led by the Overlord clone that had already descended.

And in the next moment, a mental wave enveloping the entire planet descended, and an ethereal voice sounded in everyone's hearts.

"Black Star, I am your opponent."

Before the eyes of a few people, Kessuye's clone had already blocked the only way for the mechanical army, raised a palm, and pressed down with his hand.

Boom!!

All the mechanical troops were instantly pressed onto the ground, and only the Overlord clone's body shone with a great burst of mechanical force, barely able to support itself.

"Although the opponent is machinery, and I can't exert the mental damage that Mind Power is best at, I am also proficient in telekinesis."

Kessuye's clone said calmly, raising his palm and pushing forward.

A telekinetic wall spanning thousands of miles was suddenly generated and pushed forward with a rumble, and all the buildings and machinery in front of it were pushed out and squeezed onto the wall.

A part of the mechanical troops counterattacked towards the invisible telekinetic wall, but Kessuye's telekinesis seemed to be endless. Even if the telekinetic wall continued to crack under the concentrated fire, he didn't care and squandered his telekinesis to repair the damaged parts.

The momentum of the telekinetic wall's advance was almost unstoppable. It was like an eraser that directly flattened a large area of the planet's surface, scraping off a large piece of land. Countless building fragments, soil, and machinery were pushed from the surface of the planet to the outer space in the direction of the telekinetic wall.

Except for the Overlord clone and a small number of highly mobile mechanical soldiers who took the initiative to retreat, the other mechanical troops were pushed out of the planet by the telekinetic wall and had to regroup in the outer space.

At the same time, Kessuye's clone also followed, blocking Han Xiao's path.

"What a terrifying Mind Power." A light flashed in the eyes of Han Xiao's Overlord clone.

"I draw power from the Void Dimension, and my Mind Power is infinite. In terms of energy reserves, perhaps only the Oulu of the Light Federation can be compared with me." Kessuye said lightly, "I heard that you also have the Void Bloodline. When your divinity transforms to a certain extent, you may also awaken such power."

Han Xiao's Overlord clone glanced around, taking in the entire battle situation.

At this moment, the planet's base could be divided into three battlefields. Hela was fighting against the Red Devil, the Wild Beast, and Mech-Disaster, in a precarious situation, completely at a disadvantage. Fighting three against one was too difficult for Hela at the moment. It looked like she would be seriously injured and defeated at any time, but Han Xiao knew her details. Although Hela couldn't win against three people, she could still support herself in the short term. After all, her ability to absorb blood was quite fierce, and the power of reducing lifespan was daunting, affecting the enemy's performance and making them afraid to exchange injuries for injuries.

The second place was the large-scale legion battle. The mechanical troops controlled by Mech-Disaster were fighting with the base's defense fleet, and the battle was in a stalemate. The defense fleet mainly wanted to turn around and support Hela, while Mech-Disaster's troops were holding them back.

The third battlefield was Sagman and Taylor-D, who were attacking the Star Gate station, cutting off Hela's retreat and the passage for reinforcements, occupying a great advantage. When they destroyed all the Star Gates, they would turn around and join the siege of Hela, and Hela would not be able to hold on any longer.

Han Xiao's Overlord clone had the intention to stop Sagman and the other two, but the Star Gate and the base planet itself were still some distance away, and he couldn't make it in time.

Moreover, with this mechanical army in his hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to break through Kessuye's blockade. The largest mechanical legion and Apostle Weapons were all at the main body, rushing here, and it would take a while to arrive.

The situation was not good... Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Kessuye.

"Are you determined to stop me?"

Kessuye was expressionless, restrained his mental fluctuations, only contacted Han Xiao unilaterally, and said slowly, "This Overlord clone of yours is going to stay here with me."

He emphasized the words "Overlord clone."

Han Xiao observed Kessuye's meaningful expression, and suddenly his heart stirred. He controlled the Overlord clone and led the mechanical troops to kill him.

Kessuye, a Mind Power user, not only did not kite, but instead rushed up to fight the Overlord clone in close combat, fighting in a flurry, the scene was very "intense". Those who didn't know would have thought that the two had some deep hatred.

The mechanical troops around fired wildly, seemingly shooting very accurately, but in reality, they were using the human-body outlining technique, and the artillery fire always brushed past.

Kessuye did not stop them, allowing the artillery fire to fall into the battlefield behind him between Hela and the three, occasionally interrupting the attacks of Tolain and the other three, forcing them to dodge and creating opportunities for Hela.

At the same time, the mechanical troops dispersed and tried to bypass Kessuye. Kessuye symbolically released a telekinetic wall, but the strength of several positions was obviously weakened, and they were easily torn apart, allowing a team of mechanical soldiers to leak past...

--It looked as if Kessuye was entangled in close combat by the Overlord clone, encountered a powerful enemy, and could not spare the mind to maintain the telekinetic wall, causing a part of Black Star's mechanical troops to take the opportunity to break through the blockade and support Hela.

Han Xiao finally confirmed that this guy in front of him was deliberately holding back...

No, it can't be considered holding back, this is at least a flood release!

Why was he helping me so much?

Han Xiao's thoughts raced, and suddenly a flash of inspiration hit him. In the one-way mental connection, he whispered the password:

"Meeting of the Gods? Acting?"

"Focus, act."

Han Xiao's heart was immediately set.

Good fellow, the boss on the other side was an actor!

Stable!

He temporarily suppressed his restless heart. The current situation could still be maintained.

He had already requested assistance from the empire. The Star Gate of the base might be destroyed, but the empire's reinforcements could go to the nearest Star Gate. Although they could not directly reach their own base, the support would take more time, but it would not be too slow.

"The Voidlings have moved. There may be other people watching covetously. First, hold your breath and adapt to the situation. Wait for the reinforcements and the main body to come." Han Xiao thought to himself.

Under Kessuye's flood release, a part of the mechanical troops successfully arrived at the battlefield where Hela was, and now the mechanical troops buffed by Han Xiao's Mech Force were very powerful. Even if the number was not large, Tolain and the other three could not ignore them.

With the help, Hela suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have to fight alone anymore, and her situation had improved a lot. The mechanical troops cooperated with her in battle, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.

The death energy with the ability to reduce lifespan was shot around, making Tolain and Motes extremely fearful. Originally, they were both meat-shield-type fighting styles, but now the one acting as the MT was Mech-Disaster's Overlord clone.

The fragile mechanical body was bearing the pressure that this class should not bear. Mech-Disaster Francisco looked at the two muscleheads, Tolain and Motes, acting timidly, and he was speechless.

--Can you guys be more forceful? I'm not Black Star. The Overlord clone is not that tanky, okay!!

"Damn it, Kessuye let people through. Is Black Star's clone so difficult to deal with?" Motes was surprised as he dodged a round of concentrated fire from the mechanical troops.

"Kessuye's is just a clone after all. In order to divide the battlefield just now, he released a powerful attack, and his condition has declined, which is normal." Mech-Disaster Francisco's tone was without any fluctuations. "I didn't expect Black Star's strength to be so strong. Not only did he withstand Kessuye, but he also had the strength to launch a virtual invasion of my troops."

On the other side, just as Red Devil Tolain was about to speak, his personal shield was suddenly shattered by artillery fire, and before he could avoid it, he was hit by a death shock wave from Hela.

He immediately shivered, feeling as if -1-1 information had popped out on his head.

Tolain couldn't help but look up at Kessuye, who was "fighting fiercely" in the distance, with a resentful look in his eyes and a weak moan in his heart:

"My lifespan has flowed away again..."

...

"This... What's going on?!"

In the outer space of the base, in the fleet battlefield that was fighting, the legion players in the starships were stunned by the sudden situation.

Although many players had established or joined guilds, using the name of Black Star Legion, they were independently active in the Free Competition Zone in the form of affiliated organizations, but some players chose to follow the main force.

Especially recently, the legion had issued a faction war order, and many players had gathered at the front-line base, treating this place as a temporary main city, constantly recruiting people to form teams, and preparing to hunt down the players of the opposing faction in the Free Competition Zone.

Unexpectedly, they were suddenly attacked by multiple Super-As while staying in the Black Star base, and this place had directly become the battlefield of eight Super-As!

What was going on? Aren't Super-As very difficult to see? They can make two tables of mahjong now.

Could it be... we've encountered big news again?!

Many players thought of the Beacon Star battle event in the previous version, and were not surprised but happy. They quickly turned on the recording function and desperately photographed the faces of the Super-As.

"This is probably a major event in this version! We've encountered it!"

"Shoot it, shoot it! I have a premonition that something tm big is going to happen!"

Many players fully experienced the happiness of the onlookers and were very excited.

...

The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Bang!

The door of the reception room was kicked open, and Emersy, Silver Shadow, and Fording, who were chatting in the room, couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the door. They saw Aurora running in staggeringly, with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Teacher, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong?" Emersy asked in confusion.

"Sister... Sister, she was besieged by the Voidling sect. Many Super-As went there and wanted to kill him. I saw it through telepathy!"

"What!"

Emersy suddenly stood up, and a force field suddenly burst out, instantly blowing away the surrounding furniture.

After more than ten years of joint training, she and Hela had long had a deep relationship. At this time, hearing the news that her student was in danger, Emersy was instantly annoyed.

At this moment, a virtual screen appeared in the room, and it was a call from an administrative officer.

"Your Excellency Emersy, Your Excellency Fording, some things have happened. A Super-A claiming to be a Traveler has visited the Black Star Palace. He specifically named the legion commander for a challenge. May I ask how to deal with it?"

"Just tell him that His Excellency Black Star is not here." Fording replied.

"... Uh, he said that if Black Star is not here, he will fight the Overlord clone."

"Tell him that Black Star is very busy now and has no time to fight him."

"... Your Excellency Fording, he said that he can't come for nothing. If he can't find Black Star, then challenging Dragon Emperor is also fine. This... he is a mage, and he is staying here. Without some special means, it will be difficult to drive him away."

Fording frowned and was about to speak.

At this time, Emersy patted him on the shoulder, interrupting him, and frowned: "This person has bad intentions and is probably plotting something. Maybe it is related to what happened to Hela. I will try to test him. Tell him that I will accept the challenge."

Hearing this, the silent Silver Shadow's eyes moved. He felt that this was a good opportunity to build a relationship. If he helped Black Star's family, it would probably be of great benefit.

With this in mind, he stepped forward and volunteered: "Your Excellency Emersy, why don't I go?"

"There is no reason to let guests help. Fording, take Your Excellency Silver Shadow to the lookout to watch the battle."

Emersy waved her hand and refused, turning around and striding out of the room, her long skirt swirling like a black flower.

Her tall back disappeared from the sight of the few people, and only one sentence floated from afar.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to deal with either."
