Chapter 1403 - Change and Situation (2/2)

“Got it.”

Han Xiao nodded and watched the Beyond Grade A Association members leave.

In comparison, the Beyond Grade As were not too nervous. With Black Star’s Sanctum Revival, their lives were guaranteed.

After more than ten years of training, many Beyond Grade As had made some improvements. Han Xiao sparred with them from time to time, and he also obtained some abilities from some of them.

After sending everyone away, Han Xiao changed into King and teleported to the Soul Terminal.

The moment he arrived-Hila, Aurora, and Feidin, who were in seclusion-sensed him.

“You’re here?”

Hila stopped absorbing the soul fragments, and an indescribable aura emanated from her body.

“You’ve improved a lot over the years.” Han Xiao looked at her with a satisfied expression.

Soul Terminal was the training ground for Hila and Feidin. After ten years of seclusion, Hila had already stepped into the peak Beyond Grade A realm, and her strength had increased tremendously. Feidin had absorbed an unknown amount of soul energy through the Soul Swapper, and he had also steadily reached the level of an upper-tier Beyond Grade A.

As for Aurora, she was unable to use the resources of the Soul Terminal, but she had received special training from Hila, and her abilities had also improved. Although she was not as strong as the two freaks—Hila and Feidin, she was still quite good.

“You’re here to take us back, right? It’s about time for the World Tree to arrive.” Hila’s eyes flashed with a fighting spirit, “I can finally fight the Tree King.”

Han Xiao ignored this battle maniac and turned to Aurora. “You’re our core member. Are you ready?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t fail this time!”

Aurora clenched her fists with determination.

Although she still remembered that dream, she had already sworn not to fall for it again.

Han Xiao smiled and rubbed her head before looking at Feidin.

“You’re already an upper-tier Beyond Grade A Super. Using this power to activate the Soul Swapper is enough to cause a large area of damage to the members of the World Tree. You have a lot of freedom in this.”

The Soul Swapper was a mass killing machine, and its power was not inferior to psionic waves. It was also a treasured military tool, and when it was inconvenient for him to attack, Feidin would be able to replace him to deal large area damage to the fleet.

“I understand.” Feidin rubbed the surface of the Soul Swapper and nodded.

Although he did not like killing, he would not show mercy to invaders like the World Tree.

Han Xiao then changed into another King and teleported to the Underworld. He immediately saw Evans, and EsGod, who was teaching him combat skills.

As soon as he saw Han Xiao, Evans immediately stopped practicing and walked up to him.

Han Xiao cut to the chase and said, “The World Tree is coming. Come with me.” “Okay.” Evans nodded.

EsGod walked over with his hands behind his back and said, “Don’t die on the battlefield. I’m still waiting for you to fulfill my dream. Although the Sanctum Revival is good, as long as you die once, your ability will be lost, and you will never be able to reach the Transcendent Grade. Don’t blame me for giving up on you when that happens.”

“Don’t worry, Teacher. I won’t die so easily.”

Evans replied with confidence.

As the saying goes, having a senior is like having a treasure. EsGod had roamed the universe for many years, and he was extremely experienced. With his wholehearted guidance, Evans had already accumulated a lot of combat skills.

When he first advanced and obtained the (Energy Control] Esper Ability, Evans was at most an ordinary person with a firearm in his hands. Now that he had received EsGod’s teachings, he was like a soldier who had completed all the special force’s elite classes and was proficient in all weapons. His combat ability had increased many times.

After more than ten years of interaction, Evans already saw EsGod as his teacher. Although EsGod did not admit it, he did not reject this title. “Follow me.”

Han Xiao raised his brows and left with Evans without saying anything.

EsGod watched as the two of them disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The three Universal Civilizations intensely prepared for battle. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the World Tree Vanguard Army finally arrived at the border of the Flickering World.

Just as the Military Strategy Department had expected, the World Tree invaded from different directions, but they were all within the range of the defense circle. Battles broke out in many areas at the same time. In all the battlefields, the individual strengths on both sides restrained themselves. The Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations had only probed a few times, but the World Tree Civilization had never sent any Beyond Grade As to fight.

Having learned from the Heart Tree King’s case, the World Tree was extremely wary of Black Star and did not use any Beyond Grade As for the first wave of attacks.

In this first battle that occurred after a gap of ten years, the three Universal Civilizations, which had been preparing for a long time, successfully gave the World Tree Army a head-on blow. They did not allow the World Tree to step into their territory, and both sides were in a stalemate at the Flickering World border.

However, even after winning once, the three Universal Civilizations did not feel any joy, because this was only the first wave of probing attacks. The World Tree did not use much of its strength, and the situation was still dire.

Just as Han Xiao had said, the World Tree was prepared for a battle of attrition. The first thing it did was to build a large number of bridgeheads outside the Flickering World border.

Because of the World Tree’s continuous advancement, the jump points were all under their control. The three Universal Civilizations were currently unable to replicate the spatial anchoring orbits which were used during the interception war, and they could not chase away the enemy. They could only defend their territory and endure the waves of attacks from the World Tree. Going forward, this would be the situation of the war, and it was also a situation that the three Universal Civilizations had long been prepared for.
