Chapter 714 Trap

Spatial lock zones treat everyone equally. Mechanics also cannot open secondary dimensional channels, and the Otherworldly Deities' dimensional rifts and teleports are ineffective.

Having developed to this point, the explored universe has seen the Three Great Civilizations record countless types of superpowers, most of which have targeted methods of restraint. Apart from some extremely high-risk superpowers, there is no such thing as an unsolvable ability.

"So it's a trap. You're really willing to spend the capital."

The Otherworldy Deity was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

This wasn't the first time he had experienced this kind of danger. He wasn't flustered at this time, only the number of enemies surprised him a little. Not only the Crimson Dynasty and the Void Duchy, but even the Lightwing Alliance had inexplicably participated in the encirclement.

A total of eleven Beyond Grade As were besieging him alone. This large scale was beyond his expectations.

If the Three Great Civilizations hadn't sent enough manpower this time, it would have been difficult for him to fall into this trap. A calculation would reveal that at least four to five people were needed to entangle the Otherworldy Deity head-on and prevent him from becoming suspicious, and three mages were secretly needed to set up the spatial lock zone without being discovered. That is, at least seven to eight people were needed to complete the trap. These were all Beyond Grade As, all great figures standing at the peak of the universe's power, not worthless cabbages.

Upon discovering that he had fallen into a trap, the Otherworldy Deity reacted immediately without saying a word.

He wouldn't sit still and wait for death. Although teleportation was ineffective in this area, his flight speed wasn't slow. His body ejected energy streams, running away in the opposite direction from Han Xiao and the others. As long as he escaped the range of the spatial lock field, his teleportation could be reactivated.

He wasn't a blockhead. Facing eleven Beyond Grade As, he had no intention of fighting head-on.

The six people lying in ambush were still on the way to charge over, not completely forming an encirclement. Because of the spatial lock, they couldn't warp over either. At this time, only the five people fighting head-on had the ability to entangle the Otherworldy Deity.

Without saying a word, Han Xiao abandoned the four members of the Hounds of War and poured all his energy into the mechanical armor's propulsion module.

The thrusters on his back, elbows, feet, and other parts spurted out thick blue flames, and his whole body shot out, chasing after the Otherworldy Deity. The extremely fast-flying figure left a condensed and unscattered ghostly blue arc in the dark universe, like a comet.

The spatial lock zone did not distinguish between friend and foe. His void warp and void displacement were also unusable.

Many Otherworldy Deity clones changed their offensive and turned into entanglement, coming up to stop Han Xiao and the others from pursuing.

Although he had fallen into a trap, the Otherworldy Deity didn't care too much.

Perhaps there would have been no small danger before his evolution, but it was different now. A large number of clones were enough to contain these Beyond Grade A pursuers, buying him enough time to escape the spatial lock zone. Once he recovered teleportation, the sea would be wide enough for fish to leap through, and the sky high enough for birds to fly through.

"Don't let him run away!" The Hounds of War got rid of an Otherworldy Deity clone that was like a maggot attached to bone. He unfolded a giant sniper weapon that was hundreds of meters long, put the crosshair on the fast-moving Otherworldy Deity, and fired suddenly.

A golden energy beam shot out, with tracking function, and shot towards the Otherworldy Deity in an arc. The speed of the shelling was obviously faster than the speed of flight, and the distance was rapidly shortening.

The Otherworldy Deity frowned, only had time to turn around and open a shield, and was hit by this sniper beam in the next moment.

He originally wanted to use the reaction force to accelerate, but the weapon used by the Hounds of War this time wasn't offensive. The beam expanded violently the moment it hit the Otherworldy Deity, turning into an energy ball with strong suction, dragging the Otherworldy Deity's body and causing his flight speed to drop sharply. The Otherworldy Deity had no choice but to continue to escape, and only after a while did he break free of the gravity range of this shot.

Long-range attacks were the strength of Gunners, and among other teammates, the Hounds of War had the greatest effect on restricting the Otherworldy Deity's escape. Moreover, the Gunner's weapons weren't single, and they were good at using a variety of firearms, not only offensive weapons, but also control-type firearms. The previous shot was a control-type one.

The Otherworldy Deity didn't have teleportation, his dodging ability decreased, and he was constantly interfered with by the Hounds of War. Han Xiao's mechanical armor's flight speed was already faster than the Otherworldy Deity's physical flight. The distance between the two was shortened by a large margin and was still getting closer, one chasing and one running away.

Fortunately, the three mages, Milizaus and the others, didn't underestimate the Otherworldy Deity, so the range of the spatial lock zone was very large, leaving enough buffer zone. The Otherworldy Deity, who didn't have teleportation, couldn't fly out for a while.

The Otherworldy Deity's back view was constantly magnified in his vision. Han Xiao estimated the distance, turned his palm over, and ejected a compressed ball, which quickly unfolded into a hexagonal alloy plate that looked like a radar. It was more than ten meters long and wide, paved with precise mechanical structures, with a slight arc, and the energy core was secondary arcane energy.

This was a strong gravitational one-way adsorption device specially made by Han Xiao during his months of seclusion. It could adjust the direction and intensity of gravity, and generally only released gravity on the front.

After his test, the gravity generated on the front by this device at full power could reach planetary level, equivalent to half of a star's core. It could absorb a huge amount of matter, enough to peel off the land of a planet, reaching the power to tear the planet's surface.

For Beyond Grade A battles, this was a very strong control-type equipment, far superior to spaceship tractor beams.

Han Xiao activated the device, and a powerful gravitational force immediately enveloped a large area in front of him. The Otherworldy Deity felt a huge pulling force, and his flight speed slowed down again, as if there was a huge planet behind him trying to capture him.

The Otherworldy Deity frowned and simply took the opportunity to act. His body swayed, and he separated a new clone. The clone flew in the direction of gravity, and its speed soared. It rushed to Han Xiao's face in an instant, trying to entangle him.

The clone's attack was basically aimed at the gravity device. The goal was obviously to destroy this equipment so that the main body's flight speed wouldn't be affected.

The arcane energy shield opened, and Han Xiao blocked the clone's attack, but the Otherworldy Deity's clone had Beyond Grade A combat strength after all, and it wasn't that easy to kill in seconds. His speed was inevitably affected, and the Otherworldy Deity's main body in front also timely fired black and red energy beams at Han Xiao from behind, combining counterattack and acceleration.

"The Otherworldy Deity can keep separating clones. As long as I chase closely, I'll be entangled by the clones. If I can't hold him back, I can only watch him escape the trap."

Han Xiao's mind moved, and the mechanical force all over his body burst out, and thick lightning struck the Otherworldy Deity's clone, tightly entangling him.

In the next moment, Han Xiao's spirit suddenly sank into the quantum network.

Soul attack, I can do it too!

[You used \[Virtual Soul] on the Otherworldy Deity!]

[Attribute judgment in progress...]

[Character level judgment failed, success rate -30%]

[Luck attribute judgment failed, success rate -20%]

[Mystery attribute judgment failed, success rate -30%]

[Intelligence attribute judgment succeeded, success rate +40%]

[One of the four judgments is effective, skill successfully activated]

[According to your virtual technology level, your base success rate is 424%. After the bonus, the theoretical success rate is 384%]

[Calculating the opponent's abnormal mental state resistance... calculation complete, the final success rate is 76%]

[Final judgment in progress... judgment successful]

[[Virtual Soul] has taken effect]

In the distance, the Otherworldy Deity's main body suddenly stopped. His soul was virtualized by Han Xiao and thrown into the quantum network, temporarily losing control of his body and being sucked back by the strong gravity device.

The spiritual level was the Otherworldy Deity's relative weakness. His clones and main body shared the same soul. Han Xiao's use of \[Virtual Soul] on the clone could directly affect his main body.

Because the attribute difference was too large, the \[Virtual Soul]'s duration wasn't long, with a fifteen-minute cooldown, but it was enough for Han Xiao to complete the close combat.

The quantum network was Han Xiao's home ground. His consciousness body transformed into a light giant that covered the sky and covered the sun, beating the Otherworldy Deity's soul violently. All attacks were converted into mental damage.

The effect of \[Virtual Soul] ended quickly. The Otherworldy Deity's eyes regained their brilliance and recovered consciousness. The soul damage made his eyes slightly tired.

Looking up and observing his surroundings, he found that his main body had been dragged in front of Han Xiao. Without saying a word, Han Xiao pounced on him and started a close fight.

Seeing this, the Otherworldy Deity couldn't run away with his head down. He didn't run because he couldn't beat them, but just staying in the trap was too passive.

The two entangled together, rolling and fighting into a ball. The Otherworldy Deity constantly separated new clones to strengthen the output. However, Han Xiao was like a band-aid, his defense was too high, and there were a large number of Amber Orbs as shields, making the Otherworldy Deity very irritable and was tightly entangled by Han Xiao.

"You annoying fellow!" The Otherworldy Deity's face was gloomy.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Han Xiao smiled wickedly, and arcane energy blasted from his hands, smashing a clone.

At the same time, the six people lying in ambush also gradually surrounded them. With the assistance of the mechanical legion, the Hounds of War had eliminated many clones.

Because the new clones separated by the Otherworldy Deity were entangled by Han Xiao and weren't added to the battlefield on the Hounds of War's side, the pressure on the Hounds of War and others was reduced a lot, and they also chased over.

Before long, all the Beyond Grade As finally arrived, occupying all directions and surrounding the Otherworldy Deity. Han Xiao and the Machinery Country's mechanical legion blocked all escape routes.

Seeing this, Han Xiao temporarily stopped and retreated into the formation of his mechanical legion.

The Otherworldy Deity was under heavy siege. His vision was filled with dense mechanical soldiers, and the energy sources of the eleven Beyond Grade As scorched his senses. His dozens of clones were all gathered back to protect his main body, waiting in full battle array.

In the distance, the Lightwing Alliance's fleet also appeared. Without the Otherworldy Deity's help, the Fallen Ark troops were quickly defeated by the fleets of the Three Great Civilizations. Warships exploded into cosmic fireworks one after another. The blazing red light of the explosion shone on everyone's faces, leaving mottled light spots.

The Otherworldy Deity glanced at the defeated fleet, retracted his gaze, looked at Muanyson, and said in a deep voice in the spiritual network: "Muanyson, I didn't expect you to come and deal with me too."

Among the eleven people, the Otherworldy Deity only valued four people, namely Muanyson, Milizaus, the Hounds of War, and Han Xiao. They had all fought against each other before, and Muanyson was the most valued opponent among them.

"It's just a transaction. Besides, I warned you not to set foot in the Flickering World." Muanyson's tone was calm.

The Otherworldy Deity nodded and scanned everyone.

Although he was surrounded, he wasn't flustered. He said slowly, "Even if there are many of you, it won't be easy to get rid of me."

He had two escape plans. One was to escape the trap area, which had basically failed now that he was surrounded. He could only choose the second plan—that was to use his spatial superpower to slowly penetrate the spatial lock zone, drill a gap, and teleport away.

The premise of this plan was to delay for enough time.

The Otherworldy Deity's confidence came from a large number of clones. Even if he was surrounded, he could use the clone tactics to deal with everyone, and various self-healing, energy absorption, and defense superpowers ensured that he wouldn't be defeated in a short time and could delay for a long time. So the Otherworldy Deity wasn't nervous at all.

Everyone had analyzed it before the battle and knew that they couldn't delay, so they looked at each other and nodded.

"Act according to the plan."

"We're counting on you, Black Star."

In the next moment, everyone attacked at the same time, and the siege broke out suddenly!

The Otherworldy Deity's dozens of clones fought fiercely with everyone, and the casualty rate was very fast. However, the Otherworldy Deity constantly absorbed energy through his superpower and continuously created new clones, unexpectedly holding off the offensive of eleven Beyond Grade As! Although the Otherworldy Deity was fighting very reluctantly, it was already amazing enough.

Even the Beyond Grade As who were besieging couldn't help but marvel at this level of combat power:

The evolved version of the Otherworldy Deity is really a monster!

If we didn't join forces to deal with him at Black Star's suggestion, who else would be able to threaten this guy in the future?!

Han Xiao shuttled across the battlefield, passed through the heavy blockade of clones under the cover of others, and approached the Otherworldy Deity's main body.

The Otherworldy Deity had already fought with Han Xiao just now, so he didn't suspect anything and met Han Xiao again.

However, the moment the two bodies came into contact this time, the Otherworldy Deity sensed a strange energy coming from Han Xiao and entering his body.

In the next instant, the Otherworldy Deity's restless superpower seemed to have been injected with a tranquilizer and all calmed down.

"This is... Superpower Inhibition?!"

The Otherworldy Deity's face suddenly changed, and he finally showed a look of shock and uncertainty. His eyes were full of doubt, not understanding why Han Xiao had his ability.

"It's working!" Han Xiao received the panel's notification and heaved a sigh of relief.

At the pre-war meeting, he and everyone had discussed the tactics and waited until the encirclement to use the Superpower Inhibition Character Summon Card.

Han Xiao had been hiding this move, just waiting for this opportunity.

The moment Superpower Inhibition took effect, all the clones' movements suddenly froze. The clone superpower was frozen, and he couldn't maintain this ability. All the clones exploded suddenly, turning into black mist and dissipating.

Because the gap was too large, the duration of Superpower Inhibition was at the minimum. However, this instant disintegrated the Otherworldy Deity's clone tactics!

Everyone was prepared. In the brief moment when the Otherworldy Deity lost his superpower, three mages cast the control magic that they had prepared long ago. A psychic interfered with the Otherworldy Deity's mental operation, a Martial Artist used Qi pressure on the Otherworldy Deity's main body, and Han Xiao also gave the Otherworldy Deity's main body an injection, implanting nanometer-level cell inhibitors to reduce the other party's Qi activity.

In an instant, the Otherworldy Deity was under heavy control. Many Beyond Grade As suppressed his movements at the same time, making him almost unable to move.

The power recovered quickly, and he tried to break free. However, so many Beyond Grade A control skills were like indestructible shackles, binding every limb of his and fixing him in place.

Under multiple effects, the Qi in his body stagnated and couldn't circulate, unable to be used as fuel to activate his superpower.

Although the clone tactics had very strong combat power, he couldn't withstand the combined force of so many Beyond Grade As with pure Qi.

The Otherworldy Deity stared at Han Xiao, unable to figure it out.

"How can you use my ability?"

"You'll have plenty of time to think about it later."

Without hesitation, Han Xiao turned his hand over and took out the Time-Space Amber, using it on the Otherworldy Deity. After the soul connection entered the second layer, the speed of making Amber Orbs became faster again.

The Time-Space Amber was the core of this plan!

So many people could suppress the Otherworldy Deity, but everyone couldn't gather together forever. The Otherworldy Deity had all kinds of superpowers, and other imprisonment methods had no effect on him. He had countless ways to escape.

Only the Time-Space Amber, which had proven its effectiveness, had the possibility of imprisoning the Otherworldy Deity.

The pre-war meeting had already decided that Han Xiao was the core figure of the operation. Everyone's job was to help him catch the Otherworldy Deity with the Time-Space Amber.

If there was no Superpower Inhibition and Time-Space Amber, the Otherworldy Deity might really escape. These two things were the key variables that made this operation different.

The Otherworldy Deity also had a strong perception of space and noticed that the space around him was being twisted and mutated. A look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"So this is the effect of the legendary Time-Space Amber. It's really a magical cosmic treasure."

The Otherworldy Deity paused and reluctantly twitched his facial muscles, "I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands."

Han Xiao knew that the villain would definitely be overturned if he talked too much, so he didn't plan to speak and concentrated on using the Time-Space Amber at full power.

Seeing that the situation was beyond redemption, the Otherworldy Deity simply stopped struggling and stared at Han Xiao with a blank expression, saying meaningfully:

"Black Star, we will meet again sooner or later."

"That depends on when the Three Great Civilizations ask me to release you."

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly cut off the energy supply.

In the next moment, the Otherworldy Deity's expression and movements were completely frozen.

The whole person was sealed into the Time-Space Amber!
