Chapter 1058 - Dust Settled (1/2)
Gorutan, who was covered in wounds and sealed in the Spacetime Amber, looked like he was made into a specimen.
Looking at the fixed expression on his face, Han Xiao finally relaxed.
A peak Beyond Grade A fighting for his life had almost endless trump cards. If not because of his Spacetime Amber, the King, Silver Shadow, and his double Mechanical Senses, he might not have been able to beat him.
After all, this time, he did not have a perfect trump card like the Esper Silence he had when facing EsGod, so the only choice was to fight head-on. Therefore, his mechanical army suffering huge losses was unavoidable. A huge number of mechanical soldiers had to be sent to the factory to be remade.
Both sides were peak tanks. There was no situation where one attack would decide the results. The battle was basically countless repetitions of the same process, and whoever lasted longest would win.
If not because the dynasty’s allies were on the side, this would have definitely turned into a chase, which would have lasted much longer, and Gorutan might even have escaped. Nonetheless, the result of capturing Gorutan was ideal.
“The goals have been achieved. Hila is protected, and the King’s functions have been showcased, which is more than enough to discourage others from thinking about attacking Hila. Even Gorutan is captured. The results of this event are going to be very beneficial for me.”
Venting his anger was just one reason he had gone to fight Gorutan head-on. The main reason was to express his firm stance and instill fear in others.
Due to how strong an impression he made as a very sociable and friendly person, plus the fact that he had kept a low profile for more than two decades, there were always people trying to test him, thinking that he was easy to mess with.
This time, he did not depend too much on the dynasty. It was basically his own achievement. Since he had done this, it was certain that the other organizations would have to think twice before trying to mess with him in the future, weighing up whether it would even be worth it.
The only problem was, this achievement was too terrifying, almost unbelievable.
Although the church and the federation’s people were not fighting for their lives and could not go all out due to many reasons, which gave him the opportunity to make full use of this flaw, the outside world would not care about all that. All they would see would be his achievement of fighting against twelve enemies all by himself. In front of this achievement, even capturing another peak Beyond Grade A was not as shocking.
This was more than enough to be listed as one of the most shocking achievements of any Beyond Grade A in history!
However, too much of something would never be good. He had achieved something that he was not supposed to achieve with the strength he had now, which was not without drawbacks. What Han Xiao was glad about was, Sierron had made it that all this way because he had ‘burned his potential’.
This way, it would be much more acceptable for the various organizations, including the three Universal Civilizations, and the other Beyond Grade As.
With that reasoning, as well as the Beyond Grade A united front, Manison would most likely not test him after seeing this astonishing achievement, which would eliminate a huge problem for him.
At the same time, people saying that he was burning his potential would also not reduce the effects of his achievements.
Although this explosive state was made possible with many Character Summon Cards, some of which could only be used once…
Others would not know that this was the case!
Han Xiao knew clearly what those high-level organizations would be thinking—they would have a false assumption that as long as he was willing to pay the price of burning his potential again, he would be able to draw up this strength again!
And even if he explained the truth to others, no one would believe him!
Therefore, following this thought, the various organizations would all come to one conclusion…
Don’t push Black Star too much!
This way, the influence of this event could be understood without saying.
As Han Xiao thought, a smile appeared on his face.
“Since I’ve now planted fear in them, I can continue to develop myself slowly. It’s going to give me a big fortune…”
At this time, he only had one thought.
Sierron really is such a good friend!
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Han Xiao quickly told Phillip to clean up the battlefield and take away the Gorutan amber specimen.
Having seen that the battle had ended, the dynasty allies finally came forward.
“You’ve really outdone yourself this time. When this gets out, it’s definitely going to make a huge impact,” Kant said. “Sharp and brave, as one would expect from youngsters. When I was making a name for myself in the universe, I was young too. But now, I have to think of the pros and cons before making every single move. I’ve lost that courage.”
“You’re being humble.” Han Xiao smiled.
“Well, defeating Gorutan is just a small matter. The problem is, what do you plan to do with him?”
Kant was not surprised by this result. Black Star was in an explosive state, and the battlefield favored him. Plus, he was also a peak Beyond Grade A. Therefore, defeating another peak Beyond Grade A seemed very normal, nothing compared to the absolutely shocking fact that he had forced twelve Beyond Grade As of the federation and the church to retreat.
“Hmm, Gorutan has no one to rely on, and no one will come to bail him, so I’m going to keep him as part of my collection.”
Beast Ancestor was one of the protectors of the Galactic Black Market. He did not have any background like the three Universal Civilizations. Therefore, there was, of course, no need for him to give Gorutan up. This was also one of the ways the three Universal Civilizations appealed to the Beyond Grade As. After all, no one could guarantee that they would never lose, and having one of the three Universal Civilizations backing them would make them feel much more assured.
Kant nodded and said, “This incident was too sudden, so we couldn’t help much. Luckily, the results did not turn out too bad. The dynasty will help you to deal with the aftermath of this, and the dynasty’s upper echelons will probably come to negotiate with you very soon.”
“I know.”
At this time, Silver Shadow turned back to his normal appearance, which attracted the attention of everyone.
Han Xiao nodded at him.
“You were of great help this time, thanks. Follow me back later and be a guest at my place. I’ll keep my promise.”
“I should be the one thanking you. If not for you, god only knows when I would’ve discovered this new ability I have.”
Although Silver Shadow was quite heavily injured, having discovered a new ability made him quite happy.
Kohler could not help but ask curiously, “Silver Shadow, what ability is that? Can you show it again?”
“It’s one of the special forms I have, which Black Star had helped to discover…”
Silver Shadow chatted passionately with the others, and Han Xiao nodded in his mind.
With my influence, this guy is probably going to start his Uber life much earlier…
However, with the help I gave him, it will probably be quite much easier for me to make him my private Uber.
This time, Han Xiao turned to look at Ravenlaude, who was staying silent and looking like he wanted to say something but did not, so Han Xiao started the conversation.
“How you doing? Have your wounds healed?”
“Pretty much…” Ravenlaude thought of his experience of getting beaten into a pulp not long ago, resignation appeared in his eyes.
“Haha, thank you for letting the past be the past and coming to help this time.” Han Xiao smiled.
“I didn’t help much.”
“Don’t say that. If not because you relayed the message, the dynasty’s reinforcements would not have arrived here so soon. I owe you one for this.”
A hint of a smile finally appeared on his face. He felt much better.
Aiyo, although Black Star is irritating sometimes, he’s quite a good guy overall.
Sorry Ty-Ty, I probably won’t be able to join your anti-Black Star alliance. Hang in there!
Suddenly, they all felt something and turned to look at the source of it. Beast Ancestor’s fleet, which had been watching from the side, was now quickly retreating.
