Chapter 1 Heiress Attacks

Hela had already launched a preemptive strike before Town Tree King could react. A red light flashed in her eyes, and clusters of death energy, already brewing into an ocean, shot out, containing the aura of destroying life, sealing off all of Town Tree King's escape routes.

Town Tree King suppressed the surprise in his heart, and a burst of green light erupted from his body. His majestic martial arts aura was like a supernova, bursting out a thick circle of light green waves. The approaching death energy stagnated in mid-air one after another, shattering one after another, but more death energy surged down, constantly filling the gaps.

The power of the dead, enhanced by the Land of Residual Souls, had its erosion intensity increased many times over. Although Town Tree King's protective aura blocked the bombardment of death energy, some red aura still lingered on it, constantly eroding the thickness of the martial arts aura. The tainted aura rapidly lost its vitality, turning into starlight and dissipating into the universe.

"This ability has attack attributes such as impact, erosion, weakening of vitality, and spirit, and it seems to have some kind of stacking mark assassination technique. If the body is hit, I'm afraid it won't be good..."

Town Tree King's mind flashed, inputting more energy into his protective aura, and also using his authority as Tree King to summon the roots of the World Tree, which quickly rolled up, as if forming a whirlwind, stirring up the incoming death energy.

He didn't stop moving, and then his legs bent, he suddenly stomped, and a ring of aura shock waves instantly exploded behind him. The whole person shot out like a cannonball, turning into a stream of light and charging towards Hela, leaving trails of afterimages behind him.

"Come!"

Hela's eyes turned fierce, and a blackish-red energy suddenly surged from her body, then quickly rolled back, covering her layer by layer, instantly becoming solid. The death energy seemed to turn into some kind of colloid, and the whole person became a five- or six-meter-tall red-black little giant.

At the same time, dense and complex silver-gray lines crawled all over the little giant's body, looking quite mysterious.

The outline of the little giant's body was exactly the same as Hela's, but the face had no facial features, only a pair of eye sockets burning with white light.

In the next moment, a green meteor suddenly crashed into the little giant's abdomen, carrying her away, like a red and green entangled ray, all the way through dozens of starships, leaving a trail of smoke and fire.

Dong dong dong dong—

The sky was filled with green fist shadows falling rapidly, like a storm, bombarding the little giant. However, her red-black body was extremely tough, only bursting out a series of trembling ripples on the surface, with no sign of being shattered.

Suddenly, the fist shadows disappeared all at once, and the little giant caught Town Tree King's fist with both hands, and her wrists sank.

Bang!!

The strong force vibrated a flowing wave trajectory on the surface of the little giant's body, transmitting from the palm to the back, and then passing through the body, spreading a green energy shock wave in the universe space behind her, blasting hundreds of surrounding warships into pieces.

"Are martial artists invincible in close combat? I don't believe it!"

With the blooming of intense fighting spirit, the red-black little giant suddenly slammed a headbutt on Town Tree King's crown, and the vibration was transmitted in the two's bodies, making a loud clang, and the iron-headed dolls had a cordial meeting.

Immediately afterwards, the little giant released Town Tree King, clenched her palms into fists, and in the blink of an eye, countless red lights flashed. Hundreds of fist marks burning with red flames suddenly appeared on Town Tree King's protective aura. The huge pushing force broke out, instantly knocking him away.

In this form, Hela had actually repelled Town Tree King in close combat!

"...Interesting."

Town Tree King, who was flying backwards, immediately stopped and rubbed his somewhat stuffy head. Otherwise, he was unscathed. He was a little surprised by Hela's close combat skills.

After the fight just now, he found that the little giant's physique was frighteningly tough, and her strength was extremely strong. If it wasn't for the lack of martial arts aura, he would have thought he was fighting a peak Beyond Grade A martial artist.

"Again!"

Hela raised her hand and beckoned, full of fighting spirit.

Although her ability is good at medium and long-range output, her favorite is still fierce close combat.

Over the years, she has persistently challenged Black Star, and has been rubbed on the ground again and again. Hela has been abused to the point of pleasure. She not only likes to be beaten, but also likes to beat others like Black Star beats her. Aurora has been beaten by her old fists a lot in the past decade.

Because the power of the dead itself contains the inheritance of the ability of the former owner, Nigger-S, Hela can understand many usages of the ability without burying her head in developing the ability. After entering the peak Beyond Grade A level, she unlocked many new skills. Transforming into a red-black little giant at this time is one of them, and it is the core ability.

Hela manipulates death energy, generally mainly for external release. Now she can condense and compress it in her body, allowing herself to transform into another form, called "Death God Liberation." This is one of Nigger-S's main combat methods.

This skill has multiple transformation stages, the further back the stronger, but each stronger stage needs to reach enough energy level to unlock. The ultimate "God of the Dead" requires an energy level of more than 90,000 Ona to unlock. Hela has not yet reached the standard, and has only unlocked the "Burial Spirit" stage, which is the red-black little giant transformed at this time.

After entering the "Death God Liberation" state, she has a higher degree of fusion with the Underworld Dimension, and additionally activates a new specialty. The more and higher the quality of the heroic spirits in the Underworld, the more blessings she can obtain. The effect is similar to the [Leader's Certificate], which is also one of the reasons for Hela's skyrocketing combat power.

At the same time, because the transformed body is highly condensed death energy, the ability characteristics still exist. Even if she uses physical attacks, she still comes with mental damage and erosiveness, and just touching her body will cause outsiders to lose their vitality.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, sparking sparks. In the next moment, they moved at the same time. Two figures, one red and one green, collided again, punching each other to the flesh, and the aftermath shot out, stirring up the battlefield.

"Tsk tsk, so scary."

Han Xiao stayed in the base to watch the battle, looked at the fierce battle in the picture, and couldn't help but grin.

He had tried Hela's form, and her close combat ability was indeed very powerful. Coupled with her recovery power, she was so meaty that it was outrageous, and her combat power was firmly in the first echelon.

But in his opinion, even with this move, Hela is far from enough to defeat Town Tree King in war form. Before he advanced, even if he could win Town Tree King in a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him for a while. Hela's combat power is far worse than his before he advanced, and it is impossible to solve Town Tree King alone.

But, with her disgusting meatiness, she won't be beaten into meat paste by Town Tree King for a while.

Han Xiao stopped watching the two big meat dumplings grinding against each other and turned his attention to another battlefield.

Fixed Tree King and Hyperion were old rivals. Old enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and they were passionately fighting each other. The huge bodies of the two mechanical gods rolled over the battlefield, crushing pieces of starships.

In addition to the two of them, there were quite a few mechanical gods on the battlefield. Because of their huge bodies, they were all the most eye-catching handsome guys in the Beyond Grade A battlefield.

As for Old Dragon, after successfully "losing weight", he has gotten rid of his fate as a target. At this time, he is chasing after a World Tree military leader and throwing magic spells wildly. His progress is huge, fully reflecting the benefits of recognizing an ancestor.

The others, such as Manison and Kasuyi, have all found opponents and are fighting endlessly. In addition, golden light shoots out from time to time in the field, which is Aurora accurately healing people. Her control is much more proficient than ten years ago, and the success rate is also higher, which shows that special training is quite effective.

After several rounds of sanctuary resuscitation, the number of first-tier powerhouses on the side of the three major civilizations has increased a lot, but the World Tree's top ten executives, high-level sacred tree messengers, thirteen ancestral spirits, military leaders, and others are not vegetarians. However, the first-tier powerhouses invested in the battlefield by both sides at this time are not all of them. The World Tree did not allow all the experts to participate in this tentative offensive, and the three major civilizations also hid a group of revived and new Beyond Grade A players. Although the number of people on the side of the three major civilizations is at a disadvantage, their strength has been enhanced, so they have not suffered a loss, and the situation has temporarily stalemated.

"Fording is going to make a move, right."

Han Xiao shifted his gaze and looked at Fording, who was hiding in the fleet waiting for orders, and narrowed his eyes.

Although the souls of all the enemies are bound by the World Tree, causing the Soul Transfer Instrument to only be able to carry out destructive attacks on them and unable to transfer their souls out, it is still very sharp.

Sure enough, after watching for a while, Han Xiao saw Fording finally take out the Soul Transfer Instrument, take a deep breath, and start this universe treasure.

In the next moment, the souls of the crew members in the surrounding World Tree starships were instantly torn into pieces, and they died on the spot, leaving no one alive on the ship.

World Tree battleships with this situation occurred in units of ten thousand, and are still spreading to the distance.

"Huh? What's going on!"

Town Tree King's expression changed, and he noticed this anomaly from the soul sharing.

The Soul Transfer Instrument's weird point is that it is traceless. In Town Tree King's eyes, a large number of World Tree crew members died suddenly without warning, and he could not find the source of the attack, but it must be the enemy's doing.

Although he didn't know what special weapon the enemy used, the dead were gathered in an area, which was obviously not a coincidence. The World Tree fleet immediately began to adjust to avoid this area.

Although this is a stupid method, it is indeed effective. The Soul Transfer Instrument does not have unlimited range. Although it can cover a planet, under the scale of the interstellar battlefield, this range is relatively small. Of course, Fording, the user, is not a fixed turret. As long as he moves around the battlefield, he can kill more enemies.

Town Tree King naturally didn't know these situations. He observed the situation of the soldiers' death and looked at the current situation of the Beyond Grade A duel. His mood was quite dignified.

"This test is almost over, it's time to retreat."

Although the most troublesome Black Star has not yet appeared, Town Tree King has already developed the intention to retreat.

He thought that this tentative attack could gain the upper hand in terms of individual power, but he didn't expect the situation to be not good. This civilization, which was regarded as prey, was very tenacious. It seems that even if they attacked the opponent's territory, they would not be able to easily defeat them.

This is not a main attack. If the situation is good, Town Tree King doesn't mind switching to exchanging pieces, but at this time the situation is not as expected, and he doesn't think it is necessary to continue fighting.

Town Tree King's eyes narrowed, and his energy suddenly exploded. His fists flashed with dazzling cross-star green light, and he suddenly slammed into Hela's abdomen with lightning speed.

Bang!

Shock halo blooms!

The two were originally fighting inextricably, but this heavy punch suddenly broke the stalemate. Hela was knocked out, and at the same time, the World Tree roots around Town Tree King甩出 whipped out, sending Hela flying farther, smashing a row of starships like a meteor.

Town Tree King did not pursue, but turned around and retreated. The other World Tree powerhouses received the order and also retreated synchronously, leaving only Fixed Tree King and other mechanical powerhouses' Lord's Avatar to stay behind.

Although he can't kill Hela for a while, the gap in hard power is not so easy to smooth out. If he wants to leave, Hela can't stop him.

"Chase!"

Kasuyi shouted in the mental network, and the people who were fighting all chased after them.

Hela finally managed to stop, but when she looked up, she found that Town Tree King was already far away, and she immediately chased after him, but the distance was still getting farther and farther.

She couldn't help but release her mental fluctuations and shouted:

"Don't run! Keep fighting me!"

Town Tree King turned a deaf ear and didn't want to pay attention to her at all. He shuttled rapidly through the area where the two fleets were fighting, getting closer and closer to his own formation, leaving her with a back view that was getting farther and farther away.

At this moment, Dillon, who had already materialized, suddenly appeared on the battlefield, looking at Town Tree King's figure from a distance, and let out a disdainful sneer:

"No way, is this what you call a king? A waste who is running away, you don't even deserve to be the most useless martial artist."

As soon as the words fell

Town Tree King's fleeing momentum suddenly stopped, and his face showed a look of surprise.

What's going on... It's just a mere mockery. With my state of mind, I actually stopped as if possessed by a ghost, and couldn't help but turn around and beat this guy who deserves to be hammered to death?!

Could this be some kind of spiritual control similar to a Word of Power?!!
