Chapter 1328 - Discovered (1/2)
In a certain restricted military area of the Black Star Army, two large Mechanical Deities were clashing like interstellar beasts in close combat. With every clash, sparks flew everywhere, and shockwaves spread out like endless ripples.
Bang!
Among them, the black and gold Mechanical Deity with a thick psionic shield slammed into the opponent’s abdomen, causing light fragments to fly everywhere. Taking advantage of this collision, it opened up a small distance; countless light beams shot out from the cannon barrels on its shoulders, condensing into a golden beam of light that pushed the opponent away.
The Mechanical Deity that was sent flying rolled in space for a while before quickly stabilizing its body. Its flickering shield blocked the attack, and it was not injured.
“You are recovering well.”
The black and gold Mechanical Deity did not chase after him. Its body opened and closed like scales. It retracted its weapon and spoke in the channel. It was Han Xiao himself.
The other Mechanical Deity was Herberlon. Hearing this, he stopped, stretched his shoulders, and said, “This configuration needs to be readjusted. The power output is not enough.”
After waking up to prove the existence of the World Tree, Herberlon repaired his body with Han Xiao’s help and recovered his combat capability. He then added various weapons and equipment to form different sets of equipment, constantly adjusting his state of operation. From time to time, he would spar with Han Xiao to test the combat capability of different configurations.
“I think this set of close combat equipment suits you quite well. Just add a few more sets of reactor modules. Although you can’t beat me, you should be able to fight on par with the Mechanic Emperor.” Han Xiao smiled.
To him, sparring with Herberlon was a good leisure activity. After all, most Beyond Grade As would not be able to withstand his size, and Herberlon was about the same size as him. At the same time, he was also durable and could fight freely.
Although Herberlon had once been defeated by the World Tree powerhouses, the situation he faced was one against many. His strength could not be underestimated. After recovering his strength, he would be able to enter the first tier of the Beyond Grade As in the explored universe, and he would even be able to reach the top tier. He would be a great help.
Hearing this, Herberlon disarmed himself, removed a metal tube from the groove on his arm armor, and threw it to Han Xiao. “Another mutated carrier.”
Han Xiao took the metal tube and sized it up. He sensed some special structures from it, nodded, and put it away.
Although he was now a living body Mechanical Deity, that was a cheap trick, and it did not completely replicate the uniqueness of Herberlon.
Herberlon’s body was extremely strange. Flesh and blood life combined with mechanical life, and the mechanical parts that were assembled over a long period of time had a chance to undergo a natural mutation like biological tissues, turning into special equipment similar to Apostle Weapons.
A body like Herberlon was a treasure in the eyes of the average person. Any piece of it would contain a shocking amount of technology. However, Han Xiao only needed the mutation module; he made Herberlon dig out the mutated body tissue from time to time and give it to him for research. This was one of the rewards for testing Herberlon’s body.
After doing all this, Herberlon asked, “How’s your contact with the World Tree going?”
“Not too bad. I have obtained quite a few secrets now, so I’ll temporarily hold back and accumulate my strength…”
Han Xiao briefly explained the process of him stealing the secrets of the World Tree, as well as his current strategy. This was the information that he said he would share when he invited Herberlon to fight the World Tree together.
Hearing that the three Universal Civilizations had gained an advantage in intelligence with Han Xiao’s help, Herberlon hesitated for two seconds before saying, “The three Universal Civilizations are really lucky to have someone like you…”
If one were to ask Herberlon how he felt right now, it would be envy and jealousy.
The Karma Republic that he was in did not react until they were attacked by the World Tree Civilization. They were caught off guard and easily defeated. He could not help but envy the fact that the explored universe had Black Star. If the Karma Republic had Black Star’s help, at least they would not have lost without any resistance…
Herberlon had mixed feelings as he said, “It’s a pity that we didn’t have such luck and did not have someone like you.”
“Cough, it’s not that bad…”
Han Xiao was helpless.
Why are you suddenly flattering me? Did I ask you to flatter? Just as he was about to comfort, his communicator rang.
He took it out and saw Oathkeeper’s message.
There are new discoveries in Destiny’s Child surveillance. Come quickly!
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and immediately lost the mood to chat.
He casually bade farewell to Herberlon and teleported to the Holy Accord with the King.
