Chapter 178 Six Super-As!

【High-Dimensional Apocalypse Transporter】!

Han Xiao's mind jolted. He was no stranger to this thing. It was a cosmic treasure built by the Radiant Federation with countless resources, a signature technology of theirs—just like the Evolutionary Civilization created the Evolutionary Cube. Civilizations that reached the cosmic level had generally created items at the cosmic treasure level.

The principle of this thing was related to high-dimensional projection and materialization—uplifting a troop to a higher dimension, then teleporting it to the target location, and then restoring it to its original dimension, achieving a trans-dimensional descent effect.

To describe it concretely, it was like turning the universe into a flat two-dimensional picture, while the teleported troops became three-dimensional objects. Because obstacles in the two-dimensional picture could not affect the three-dimensional, the teleported objects could move freely on the surface of the two-dimensional picture.

Normal man-made wormhole countermeasures simply could not restrain the 【High-Dimensional Apocalypse Transporter】. This technology had been the strategic trump card of the Radiant Federation since the Exploration Era War, giving their fleet extremely strong mobility, which was extremely terrifying from the level of war.

Relying on this technology, the Radiant Federation repelled countless powerful enemies in the Exploration Era War and survived all the way to the new era.

There were also disadvantages. First, the resources consumed each time were extremely astonishing, increasing with distance and the number of teleported units; second, the charging time was very long; third, ultra-long-range teleportation required precise positioning, requiring a long period of guidance; fourth, the 【High-Dimensional Apocalypse Transporter】 was a large device similar to a stargate, and would not be teleported out together. Therefore, the released troops generally could not be retrieved in the same way unless they brought another 【High-Dimensional Apocalypse Transporter】.

And the Radiant Federation would naturally not hand over their signature cosmic treasure to the Void Spirit Religion. The condition of cooperation was to teleport them over, but they had no obligation to help them retreat.

"Damn, the Radiant Federation has actually intervened..."

Looking at the Void Spirit Religion fleet descending on the screen, everyone in the war room was shocked, their mood sinking to the bottom.

Han Xiao also did not expect that the enemy would join forces with the Radiant Federation, bypassing the wormhole countermeasure device and using special means to directly descend on Beacon Star.

He could not have predicted the cooperation between the Void Spirit Religion and the Radiant Federation. The security measures of both sides were too good, and the empire's intelligence channels had not received any news beforehand.

Tarrokov had previously judged that the enemy would attack from the periphery, so he sent out many main fleet units, causing the defense force of Beacon Star to become relatively empty. Now there were only more than one million warships. The enemy's millions of warships were suspended in the outer space of Beacon Star, bringing tremendous pressure.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, and Beacon Star was immediately forced into a dangerous situation.

The war room became silent. Everyone's expression was shocked and serious, and a huge sense of crisis rose in their hearts.

Tarrokov broke the silence, still maintaining his composure, and ordered in an orderly manner: "Except for the troops intercepting the Otherworldly God, other peripheral fleets immediately return to support. There is no need to be vigilant anymore. Also, notify the guards of the Stargate Station to immediately destroy all the Stargates and not let them fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Destroy the Stargate Station of Beacon Star? Are you crazy! That's our only way out now!" Beoni was shocked and angry.

Tarrokov was expressionless. "The Stargate Station is too close to Beacon Star. The Void Spirit Religion will definitely send troops to seize it. Our combat power is at a disadvantage. If we forcibly defend, we will continue to disperse the fleet of Beacon Star's headquarters. The Otherworldly God plus the Void Spirit Religion, the fleet is almost twice our size. We cannot fight on two fronts. We will definitely not be able to hold on. We cannot divide our forces at this juncture."

"But without the Stargate, our retreat..."

"We are already in a desperate situation. There is no way out." Tarrokov said decisively, "The only hope is to gather all the troops, resist stubbornly with the help of Beacon Star's defenses, and hold on until reinforcements arrive... Without the Stargate Station, our warehouse still stores a lot of Stargate equipment. When the reinforcements arrive at the Stargate entrance on the other end, we can establish a Stargate activation channel on the spot. Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, dividing our forces to guard the Stargate Station will only lead to a faster defeat."

Tarrokov deliberately made his tone sound confident, but everyone knew that actual operation was not as easy as he said. It would take a lot of time to redeploy the Stargate equipment, and would the enemy sit idly by? Obviously not!

When the reinforcements arrive at the entrance of the passage, they will inevitably break out in a bloody battle in front of the enemy to deploy the Stargate... The problem is, they may not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive.

At this moment, the screen suddenly locked on six figures with different images in front of the Void Spirit Religion fleet.

Seeing their appearance clearly, Tarrokov's face could no longer hold back, and he showed a look of astonishment.

"Photon" Sagman, "Wild Beast" Metes, "Divine Art" Nija, "Boundary Gate" Teleydi, "Star Eyes" Cisco, "Sea Spirit" Dillon...

Six Super-As?!

A full two times the number on their side!

Plus an Otherworldly God as a foreign aid...

Tarrokov, Milizaus, and Beoni's hearts sank to the bottom. The Void Spirit Religion's determination to kill was too firm, and they were not even afraid of the consequences of a direct war with the empire for this.

Milizaus and Beoni regretted it a bit. The two of them took the initiative to be Black Star's bodyguards for the sake of the Evolutionary Cube, but they did not expect that they might have to risk their lives this time.

They really should not have gotten involved in this muddy water...

The two could not help turning their heads to look at Han Xiao, but found that Han Xiao had closed his eyes at some point.

"What are you doi..."

Before he could finish asking, Han Xiao's body suddenly burst out with intense mechanical force electric light. Under the perception of the two, the energy level in Han Xiao's body fluctuated violently and was rapidly increasing.

When he saw the Void Spirit Religion's divine soldiers descending from the sky, Han Xiao could not care about the others in the room. He quickly opened the panel and directly invested all his experience in leveling up!

At this critical juncture, he could no longer care about saving the extra loss of the experience penalty period! Getting stronger even a little bit was good!

It had been seven or eight months since he advanced to Super-A. During this time, Han Xiao had been harvesting players from other star fields and guiding the Shining World main quest. In addition, with the bonus of political assets, he had accumulated a large amount of experience.

Even if the upgrade cost at this level was astronomical, even if there was a 40% extra loss in the experience penalty period, the experience he had stored was enough to allow him to rush from Level 240 to Level 260 in one go!

The cells pumped out a scorching torrent of energy, surging endlessly in his body!

A series of upgrade prompts popped up.

……

[【Emperor Mechanic】 has been upgraded to Lv35 (max), Stamina +1000, Strength +5, Agility +5, Endurance +8, Intelligence +12, you have gained 10 free attribute points, you have gained 1 potential point]

[You have reached the level cap of your main class, you have triggered the class advancement quest—【Accepting All Rivers】]

[【Accepting All Rivers】: Visit one hundred A-level or above Mechanic Supers and exchange mechanical technology with them—a powerful Mechanic will never work behind closed doors, and knows how to summarize their own technology in communication]

[You have reached Level 260, you have triggered the advancement quest—【The Unstoppable Challenger】]

[【The Unstoppable Challenger】: Personally challenge a Super-A and survive (cannot be replaced by summons or remote troops). The battle time must not be less than 30 seconds, and you must not disengage during this period. After completing the requirements, you can disengage to complete this quest]

Reaching the Level 260 bottleneck, the class advancement quest and the advancement quest came out at the same time.

All the random rewards accumulated during this period did not draw a quest settlement card. Instead, he hoarded two blank character cards and a skill upgrade card, and there was only one quest settlement card—this was still left over from before, so he could only skip one of the quests.

Seeing these two quests, Han Xiao was overjoyed. There was always a way out!

【Accepting All Rivers】 was a very time-consuming class advancement quest. Looking at the entire universe, there were definitely a hundred Calamity Grade Mechanics, but they were distributed in different regions. This quest was obviously the most time-consuming in terms of travel, and he also had to raise the favorability of one hundred targets to make them willing to communicate with him.

It was tedious, but the only benefit for players was that there was no difficulty.

In contrast, this advancement quest was very difficult for ordinary players. To challenge a Super-A head-on and persist for thirty seconds was an advancement requirement that would only appear in the late game for players. Thirty seconds was not impossible, but the difficulty was the final requirement to "survive."

Players had two common ways to complete this quest. One was to take life and death lightly and just go for it, leaving everything to fate.

The second method was much more reliable, which was to join a faction with a Super-A, constantly brush faction contribution and Super-A favorability, and then exchange for a sparring opportunity—since it was a sparring, the Super-A would not kill even if they lost. Although it would take a lot of time, the success rate of the second method was higher. After all, the panel would not let all players get stuck on the advancement quest.

However, for Han Xiao, this quest was not difficult at all. Not to mention one Super-A, there were six of them above his head now, plus an Otherworldly God, just like the number of Cisco's eyes!

Without hesitation, Han Xiao directly used the quest settlement card on 【Accepting All Rivers】.

In contrast, only the advancement quest could be completed in a very short time.

But the only problem was that the advancement quest could only be completed after disengaging from combat. If he was entangled by the enemy, it would not be so easy to disengage... Perhaps he could find a teammate to try?

Han Xiao suddenly turned his head. "Beoni, fight me now!"

"???"

Everyone looked puzzled.

With a great enemy present, has your brain short-circuited?

Could it be that in order to survive, you want to defect to the Void Spirit Religion and become a traitor?!

Rumble—

At this moment, the room suddenly vibrated, and a series of roaring explosions came from high altitude.

The Void Spirit Religion in outer space launched an attack, fighting with the guard fleet while firing You Neng explosive bombs to bomb the surface of Beacon Star, exploding a series of exploding light clusters on the huge planet-level base shield, and the earth rumbled with it.

As expected, the enemy also sent a unit to the nearby Stargate Station, intending to seize it, confirming Tarrokov's foresight.

Millions of enemy warships attacked, and the imperial fleet, Black Star Army fleet, Dragonblood Nation fleet, and Flame Demon Race fleet stationed here launched a counterattack.

Artillery fire came and went, and for a time, the sky of Beacon Star was dyed into a colorful canvas, and the colors of countless energy rays were like a halo of aurora, beautiful and deadly.

The fleets were fighting each other, while on the other side, the strongest Super-A of the enemy, "Photon" Sagman, brought "Divine Art" Nija, and the two of them entangled Milizaus's main body in outer space, fighting fiercely.

Milizaus knew teleportation magic and tried many times, but "Divine Art" Nija was also a Super-A magician, interrupting his teleportation magic time and time again.

The other four Super-As, including Cisco, broke into the defense line of the imperial fleet and went straight to the ground, their goal obviously to flatten the base of Beacon Star and force Han Xiao and Beoni out!

"All ground garrison troops attack and resist the enemy's attack!" Tarrokov ordered decisively, "Black Star, Beoni, those four Super-As can only be dealt with by you. We have no other choice."

Although he knew that Black Star was the enemy's target, this situation no longer allowed a Super-A to avoid battle. Only by resisting could there be a way out.

"I understand." Han Xiao's expression was solemn.

At this critical moment, there was no time to waste sparring with Beoni, so he could only do the advancement quest on the enemy.

Swoosh—

The next moment, two figures flew out of the base together, like two streams of light, one black and one red, shooting straight into the sky, directly meeting the four Super-As of the Void Spirit Religion.

On the way, Han Xiao opened the secondary dimension armory and released all his mechanical troops. The surging black tide wrapped his body and went all the way to the sky.

Soon, the two sides met in the high altitude, two against four, confronting each other.

Whoosh whoosh—The biting wind blew on the six people's bodies, solemn and cold. The six people seemed to be nailed in the air, their figures standing still.

The terrifying energy fluctuations of the other four were like a vast ocean, making Beoni's heart heavy with pressure.

He thought to himself that he did not have Han Xiao's outstanding physique, and his chance of death was probably higher than Black Star's.

The two sides silently stared at each other for a few seconds before Cisco spoke coldly,

His tone was full of resolute killing intent:

"I warned you... When you took the Evolutionary Cube, did you ever think there would be this day?"

Han Xiao turned a deaf ear. He had no time to have a pre-war trash talk interaction with him now. He calmed down and observed the four powerful enemies. There was a Martial Artist, a Magician, a Psychic, and an Esper.

'Four Super-As, even with my recovery speed, I can't withstand it. It seems that I have to use all of Aurora's character cards and potions this time. I hope that guy can come over quickly to share the pressure...'

Han Xiao gritted his teeth and threw all the free attribute points from the upgrade into Endurance. Under the high Endurance conversion rate, his health increased again by about two hundred thousand.

The combat power comparison was too disparate, so he could only try to increase his tankiness as much as possible. Even a little bit would help!

At the next moment, the six people moved at the same time.

The battle broke out suddenly!

……

On the other side, the Otherworldly God was still leading the fleet to break through the alert sector, with fire and war all the way.

The Otherworldly God asked Hachison when the Void Spirit Religion would attack, but the reply he received surprised him.

"The Void Spirit Religion received the help of the Radiant Federation and directly teleported into the hinterland of Beacon Star? They also sent six Super-As?!"

The Otherworldly God's face changed slightly. He thought for a while and decisively gave the order.

"All members, listen to the order and accelerate immediately!"

The Void Spirit Religion actually used six Super-As. The Otherworldly God did not know how long Beacon Star could support under such a terrifying offensive.

If the Void Spirit Religion had already retrieved the Evolutionary Cube before he arrived, he did not think that the Void Spirit Religion would definitely fulfill their agreement to let him use the Evolutionary Cube, and he could not snatch it from the hands of six Super-As.

So the Otherworldly God was a little anxious and planned to quickly join the battle and get a piece of the pie.
