Chapter 1117 You Pay to Win, I Cheat, We All Have a Bright Future
Manison showcased his full firepower, and with his P2W[1] method of strengthening his foundation, he quickly occupied an absolute advantage and completely suppressed Black Star.
This scene also fell into the eyes of the Machinery Faith believers who were watching the battle on the surface of Planet Magnetic Cloud.
“Am I dreaming? I can see the descent of two Mechanical Deities with my very own eyes in my lifetime.”
“Quickly record it. No one knows when the Mechanic Emperor last went all out. This is precious first-hand data!”
“Why did the two of them start fighting?”
“It seems like a challenge. Black Star’s situation doesn’t look good.” “The Mechanic Emperor is still the Mechanic Emperor, having occupied the highest position in our faith for so many years. Black Star is still too young. It’s unknown what will happen in the future, but right now, how could he be an opponent for the Mechanic Emperor?”
“Black Star set a historical record a while ago, and I thought that he had already arrived at the same level as the Mechanic Emperor. Now it seems like he’s still lacking in accumulation.”
The onlookers were extremely excited. As enthusiastic fans of the top mechanics, they considered the experiences of each pinnacle Beyond Grade A their precious heirlooms. While they did not know the reason for the battle, this did not prevent them from discussing the fight.
While their settlement was threatened by the aftermath of the battle, few of the believers were willing to leave.
In their opinion, as long as they could watch the magical battle of the Mechanical Deities with their own eyes, it was nothing to bear some risks in return. If not for the fact that the land only reached this high, they would have moved even closer to them.
On the top floor of the Machinery Faith temple, many of the priests looked at the virtual screen in front of them, which showed the image of Han Xiao and Manison in outer space.
“Both Deities have moved away from the battlefield, but the settlement might still be in danger. Grand Priest, should we evacuate the organization’s followers?” one of the priests softly asked.
The Grand Priest in question was staring at the screen quietly, for fear of missing any second of what the image showed. He watched in fascination and did not even turn back as he said, “Wait, let me watch it for a while more.”
By the side, someone muttered, “While I don’t understand why they started fighting, there should be no suspense in the result. Both parties are here as avatars, and they’re only fighting based on machinery abilities. In this regard, Black Star is indeed below the Mechanic Emperor.”
“It seems like that.”
The various priests also nodded. Having seen the situation, the majority would regard it as so.
However, no one would be disappointed over this, because in the eyes of the Machinery Faith, this was a normal situation, a given.
However, the situation suddenly changed, and the energy readings at the edge of the screen suddenly soared.
The Grand Priest was taken aback.
“Black Star’s energy fluctuations… suddenly spiked”
At the same moment, the three Universal Civilizations were also watching the live broadcast of the battle between the two. The flashing lights on the screen reflected in the faces of the trio.
The Arcane Church’s Pope turned to glance at Urranrell. “Your Excellency, Black Star doesn’t seem to be in too good a state.”
“It’s expected.” Urranrell was calm. “We never hoped that Black Star would fight with the Mechanic Emperor. He has amazing potential and needs more time to strengthen his foundations, even if his growth always exceeds expectations. It’s still too early for him to fight against the Mechanic Emperor head on.”
“However, the first to release the spacetime anchor was your dynasty’s fleet. It seems that you wish for them to fight with all their strength instead,” the Pope joked.
“You’re mistaken. Since the virus has been resolved, of course the blockade should be lifted. We cannot forcibly retain the avatars of the mechanics. We opened the blockade in hopes that the Mechanic Emperor would leave, but it seems like he wishes to show his strength in front of us,” Urranrell solemnly replied.
Her order to close the spacetime anchor was not an arrogant decision. Urranrell was aware that Black Star could leave the area at any time even under the restraint of spacetime, but in her opinion, Black Star did not do anything wrong. Destroying the virus core was an act beneficial to the universe, so why should he run? The one that should be running was the Mechanic Emperor.
“It’s understandable that after being made a fool of by Black Star, the Mechanic Emperor would definitely retaliate.” The Pope glanced at Bader.
Bader continued staring at the screen, silently telling them to just continue chatting among themselves whilst he acted as the backdrop.
Seeing this, the Pope knew that Bader was not going to talk about the Mechanic Emperor for the time being, so he withdrew his gaze and continued. “However, Black Star is not on the Mechanic Emperor’s level. It is likely he will lose.”
“We don’t wish for Black Star to have conflicts with the Mechanic Emperor right now, but since they have started fighting, the dynasty will support Black Star to the end. There’s no need to back down,” Urranrell decisively stated.
In terms of their stances, the three Universal Civilizations were on Han Xiao’s side, but they did not deny the fact that the Mechanic Emperor was still more powerful.
Furthermore, Black Star was only using his avatar, so losing to the Mechanic Emperor was not unacceptable. After all, Black Star’s age was but a fraction of Manison’s, and his future potential was promising. Just as the trio were thinking of that, an abnormality appeared on the battlefield.
Han Xiao’s energy reading suddenly skyrocketed, climbing to an astonishing level.
The three of them were startled.
“Black Star’s switched modes? He’s burned his potential again?” Bader was stunned.
The Pope was dumbstruck.
“This is too impulsive. Does he need to struggle like this…”
The fact that Black Star had two modes of fighting was no secret. His regular mode would not be able to defeat the Mechanic Emperor; this was something the trio knew well in their hearts. But they also understood that Black Star’s fighting prowess would only peak when he burned his potential.
Black Star had utilized his burning of potential to shock the entire universe during his Godlike Battle. Whether such a form could match up to the Mechanic Emperor, no one knew.
Urranrell’s expression was not too good. Black Star’s actions were once again out of her expectations.
He could obviously utilize a slow and methodical approach to develop and accumulate his foundation, but he just had to burn his potential to explode in strength. She was unable to accept such an approach.
Didn’t you already burn your potential once? You still want to burn more? How much more potential do you have to waste!
Black Star was the dynasty’s ally, and she had high hopes for him. The position he had taken was also in line with universal peace. Now that Black Star had burned his potential, it was a loss to the dynasty.
In her rational judgment, this move would no doubt be a loss in blood, but in an emotional sense, she appreciated the never-say-die attitude of Black Star.
The choice Han Xiao had made lived up to the trust she put in him. Whichever way she looked at Han Xiao now, she found it very pleasing to the eye.
Clank!
The trident once again cut open the shield provided by the Emperor’s Cape and drew a deep line on the abdomen of Han Xiao’s Mechanical Deity. Many mechanical parts were dug out, and the body of the Mechanical Deity now was scarred with defects.
The surrounding mechanical soldiers wanted to come over to repair the wounds, but they were all blocked by the troops of Manison. They could not overcome the blockade of the combination of the Indestructible Mechanic Empire, Apostle Weapons, and the Mechanical Life troops. The performance of his machinery was suppressed by the Mechanic Emperor on almost all fronts, with only his attack power being stronger than the latter. This was all thanks to his (Legendary Battle Technique], which was not something to be trifled with. It was only that the majority of the attacks were being absorbed by Manison’s Indestructible Mechanic Empire, which was not afraid of destruction or damage.
The legend of the Indestructible Body had long been spread through Galaxy, and because Manison had no idea if this also applied to Han Xiao’s avatar, all his attacks were concentrated toward the non-critical parts of the Mechanical Deity, aiming to destroy the majority of Han Xiao’s machinery in the shortest time possible.
At this moment, Han Xiao was finding it difficult to resist, and the thoughts spun rapidly in his head.
