Chapter 950 - Showing Oneself, Entering the Scene! (2/2)
Everyone was a Beyond Grade A, and there was no good drama without fighting!
…
On a blood-red planet in a distant star field, an endless beast tide rushed toward a red figure like a black ocean. Countless broken beast carcasses fell to the ground, their blue blood infiltrating the soil, leaving the red land splattered with blue.
The beasts were a ferocious galactic life form that could sleep and drift through the universe. Once they fell to a planet, they would quickly multiply and consume everything on the surface, forming a catastrophe.
In the prosperous star fields, these sorts of galactic creatures had long been eradicated, but there were still some nests in the remote and wild areas of the universe.
At this moment, from the center of this beast tide, a rich crimson energy continuously exploded. Wherever it passed, the energy swept through, harvesting all life.
Hila’s eyes were frosty, and she took in nothing except for the incoming beast tide. Her death energy radiated out from her as though it was free, and the soul energy of the beasts that died to it was absorbed by her body, constantly strengthening her abilities.
In the sky, Ames was suspended in midair, overlooking Hila who was slaughtering the beast tide with no intention of helping.
The goal of this trip was not to have fun; Hila needed to improve her Esper ability quickly, and the fastest method was through slaughter. However, their targets this time were the brutal beasts.
It was not known how long the battle lasted. When the last beast fell, Hila was covered in blue blood, and she gasped for air as she looked around.
As far as she could see, the carcasses stretched over the horizon, and the earth was dyed blue.
The blood of these creatures smelled like curdled milk, sour and smelly. Hila held her breath and dragged her tired body to Ames.
“The efficiency is quite high.” Ames lightly nodded.
Lowering her head to look at the situation, Ames clutched with her palm.
Rumble!
The earth trembled and rose up, like an earth dragon that was stretching itself. Ridges of earth protruded out, twisting around the ground, creating a spectacular scene.
The force field churned for a while, and when the sand and dust gradually settled, all the carcasses were buried in the ground, like the land was being plowed.
If it was Ames who acted, destroying the beast tide was just a matter of flipping her hand.
Her jade white hands retreated into her black sleeve, and with a smile on her face, Ames said, “When you can achieve this level where you can reap the lives of hundreds of millions of creatures with a wave of your hand, then you can be considered to have reached the Beyond Grade A realm.”
Hila only mutely nodded, her face passive, as though her whole body was not covered in grime and blood.
“By the way, I saw the news just now.” Ames took out her communicator as she lightly laughed. “Black Star challenged the Tyrant to a duel, and just like the previous time, he even set the date to be twenty days later. What a wicked sense of humor.”
The previous time, Ames had welcomed the battle with him, so her memories of that were especially clear.
“Eh?” Hila frowned, and a frosty air exuded out from her. “Shall we go and help?”
“Hehe, relax…” Ames indifferently laughed. “The current him does not need any assistance.”
…
The major organizations of the various star fields were all paying attention to this matter. Due to the continued fanning of the news, more and more people around the universe got to know about the battle between the two.
The gambling industry had also started its own operations. Originally, Black Star’s odds were very high, but because he did not participate personally and only sent an avatar along with two million mechanical soldiers, the win rate comparison was adjusted and set to six to four in favor of Heber.
Ordinary people had no way to understand the actual combat power of the Beyond Grade As. In the eyes of many, while Black Star had an impressive record, many still felt that the Tyrant was no pushover. In the heart of the citizens, many felt that a Beyond Grade A who did not turn up personally would never be an opponent of the same level. Many of them still bet on the Tyrant.
Under this bubbling atmosphere, twenty days passed in a flash.
…
Planet Black Tyrant was originally a barren and desolate planet. Ten days prior, when Heber chose this spot, Klent had given this planet the name and put it on the star map.
Maybe Klent had plans to make this place into a tourist attraction in the future, but the spectators that came did not think this way. After the battle, it would be hard to say if the planet was still there.
Black Star did not mind having the duel in Klent territory. He wanted to let people see his confidence, and there was no need to be afraid of any possible losses since he was only using mechanical soldiers.
Because of this, the Beyond Grade A mechanics felt a huge headache. As long as his wallet could support it, he could take all sorts of unbridled risks.
Many people had flocked to Planet Black Tyrant.
With what happened a few years ago as the lesson, the majority stayed far away. No one wanted to be the unlucky person that would be accidentally killed.
The Bloodshed Land’s fleet was suspended in the surroundings to guard the area, while Heber stood alone on the surface. His eyes were closed as he readied his mindset, and his burly body stood ramrod straight, giving off a pressuring aura.
“Can he win?”
On the spaceship, one of the Vanguard Officials could not help breaking the silence.
“Are you doubting His Excellency?” Fosters coldly glanced over.
“Are you not?”
Fosters gritted his teeth, glaring at the offender before turning his head back. He had no comeback.
In reality, his palms were already slick with sweat.
If the Tyrant could not defeat Black Star himself, he would definitely feel disappointed, but he had already mentally prepared himself for that. However, what would come today was just an avatar, and if the Tyrant could not even defeat that…
“That’s not possible. In just a few short years, how could Black Star become so strong?”
Fosters shook his head fiercely, muttering to himself. It was unknown whether he said that to convince others or himself.
Jorde turned his head around. He gazed at the worried expressions of the other Vanguard Officials, and his face turned pale.
When did the eight Vanguard Officials under the Tyrant that had unwavering loyalty become like this?
When did this trust start to shake?
That’s right. It was when Black Star first reached Beyond Grade A. When the Tyrant dueled with him and did not obtain a clear victory, that was when the seeds of doubt were planted.
If they had known of this, they should have gone against the Tyrant’s wishes and killed off Black Star during the secret war.
Black Star… was really a poison that struck the core.
You have to win, Your Excellency… If not, it will be hard to keep the hearts of the people.
Jorde sighed.
A pity, there are no what ifs in this world.
At this moment, Heber suddenly opened his eyes, glancing at a distant location.
Di di di…
The Black Star fleet slowly appeared on the horizon, neither quickly nor slowly, just on time.
“Finally.”
Heber’s eyes were cold, and the hands that were behind his back suddenly clenched tight.
