Chapter 1055 - Silver Shadow Uber (1/2)
Evil Convergence had appeared outside Black Star Palace, gradually changing the properties of the space around while continuously expanding.
Within the affected area, the defense fleet continuously fired at the countless tentacles around, destroying one after another, only for more to appear again like they were endless.
According to some studies that supported the energy conservation theory of all energy in the universe, the conservation of energy operated between multiple dimensions. In many tests in galactic civilizations, there would be examples of energy suddenly disappearing or appearing out of nowhere, and most of those were caused by the energy shift between the main universe and other dimensions.
There were many ways a secondary dimension could be projected into the main universe. The method that Traveler used treated the secondary dimension like a bucket of water, and he opened a hole at the bottom of it to let the water inside flow into the main universe, causing corrosion.
Traveler did not put much effort into it; he only opened a hole. The rest came naturally from the secondary dimension itself and exceeded the capabilities of individual power. Therefore, this was extremely difficult to stop, and the fleet at Black Star Palace would not be able to solve this problem very soon.
In the middle of the battlefield, Ames was fighting intensely with Traveler. Powerful Force Fields clashed with the energy of Evil Convergence time after time, creating enormous aftershocks.
The Force Field Esper Ability was good with defense and controlling. Together with her Void Talents, despite Traveler having the upper hand, he could not penetrate Ames’ defenses. However, Ames was not happy about it at all.
The Evil Convergence is his territory. He has infinite energy here and can make me use my energy without fear. Dragging the battle out isn’t beneficial for me, Ames analyzed. She had to admit that Traveler was quite strong. He would be among the upper-middle tier even in the three Universal Civilizations.
Although she had also become stronger in the past twenty years, she was still not strong enough to fight someone this powerful alone.
“Your resistance is futile; your defeat is just a matter of time.” With increased corrosion of the Evil Convergence, Traveler’s aura became more and more evil.
Ames ignored him and focused on controlling the force field to deal with the purple-green energy tentacles everywhere.
In Black Star Palace’s watchtower, the various officers had serious looks on their faces. With the defense measures of Black Star Palace, they were not worried about the damage the Traveler might cause. What they were worried about was how Ames did not look like she was in a good situation. They kept commanding more fleets to join the battle to provide support.
Silver Shadow had a poker face but was very tempted deep down. Although the Black Star Army’s officers did not ask him for help, seeing that Ames was at a disadvantage, he felt that it was time for him to put on a show.
At this moment, a few spaceships with the Black Star Army’s symbol appeared from afar and approached.
“Have these transport ships steer away from the battlefield and return from another direction,” Herlous said.
These returning spaceships had been marked as transport ships long ago. Everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield at the moment and did not bother with the transport ships. They only glanced at them and went back to watching the battle between Ames and Traveler.
However, the next moment, an alarm rang on the radar!
“Alert! Alert! Beyond Grade A energy source detected!”
“What‽”
The various officers present were shocked. They quickly looked at the radar and realized that the energy source was in the transport ships.
“Another enem…”
They were instantly nervous.
However, before they could respond, what happened next stunned all the officers.
Buzz!
The familiar death energy gushed out from the transport ship like a tsunami. Hila stepped on the tide and quickly approached Black Star Palace.
“Deputy Army Commander Hila!”
“Sis‽”
They were stunned, and Aurora was even stupefied.
Aren’t you at the frontlines? How did you suddenly appear here?
If not because of the mind link, Aurora might have thought that this Hila was a fake.
However, the most stunned person was Traveler. When he saw this, the maddened laugh he had on his face stiffened instantly.
What the hell, why is Hila here‽
His mission was to divert Black Star’s attention and help those who were attacking Hila to restrain Black Star… But since Hila was there, what were those people attacking? Air?
What am I even trying to restrain here‽
He could not figure out what was going on at all, so in the end, he blamed it all on Sorokin…
What a scam! Giving me false information!
Since Hila had appeared there, there was no point continuing the mission. He did not want to continue fighting the Black Star Army.
Traveler decisively gave up on attacking Ames and instantly fled. Of course, Ames was not going to let him leave easily. Her focus shifted from defense to attack instantly.
Hila glared at Traveler but did not instantly join the battle.
She remembered Han Xiao’s words and quickly entered the watchtower. She had no time to talk to the confused officers and headed right to Silver Shadow.
“Wear this mechanical suit. Black Star wants to see you.”
“Huh?” Silver Shadow was at a loss.
“No time to explain, get in.”
Hila deactivated the King, and it automatically attached itself onto Silver Shadow.
The next moment, Silver Shadow disappeared without a trace.
After this was completed, Hila finally had the time to take a deep breath.
The officers around approached her immediately.
“Why are you here? Where’s His Excellency Black Star?” Hadavy asked.
When this matter was brought up, Hila felt a pain in her heart, and her expression sank.
The impression she gave to the army officers had always been cold, proud, and powerful. Therefore, when she looked this hurt, the officers were all shocked and started guessing with a pessimistic mindset.
Did… something horrible happen to their commander‽
“Sis…” Aurora noticed Hila’s sorrowful emotions and held her hand with a worried look on her face.
“I owe him… too much.” Hila closed her eyes and clenched her teeth as if she was talking to herself. “How can I ever pay you back for what you’ve done for me?”
…
At this time, Han Xiao led Silver Shadow away from the wrecked frontline stronghold. The players and the other warriors would take care of cleaning up the battlefield. He wanted to make some trouble for Gorutan while the effects of the Character Summon Cards still lasted.
Hila was attacked, and the information had come from Gorutan. Although, given how unique Hila’s ability was, she would have experienced this sooner or later, this did not mean that Han Xiao would let Gorutan off easy.
On the way to Gorutan’s territory, Han Xiao gave Silver Shadow his request…
“You want to use my body?”
Silver Shadow’s face was filled with dismay.
He could not understand the King’s effects, nor did he dare ask. He was originally confused as to why he had been summoned there by Black Star. Now, when he heard what Han Xiao said, he panicked completely.
So, this is the kind of person you really are, Black Star! My body is what you wanted!
“That’s what I meant, but I feel like you’ve misunderstood something,” Han Xiao said with resignation. “I just want you to help me. Treat it as a deal to use the Evolution Cube.”
“You startled me. I thought you wanted to capture me and make me a special weapon like the Mechanic Emperor does.” Silver Shadow was relieved.
“Oh, that’s not entirely wrong.” Han Xiao coughed, changed the topic, and said seriously, “Your body has a hidden characteristic. When you awaken it, you can turn yourself into a special Universal Treasure. This is exactly what I need you to do, to transform and help me.”
“How do you know that?” Silver Shadow was curious. Even he did not know about that himself, so how did someone else know more about his own body than him?
“Remember the first time we met? When we sparred, I controlled your body and did a detailed scan. Back then, I noticed that there’s a secret hidden in your body. You might have undergone some kind of mutation when turning into a Beyond Grade A.” Han Xiao started to use his talent for deception without breaking a sweat.
