Chapter 1433 - Going for Wool and Coming Home Shorn (2/2)
Han Xiao did not wait. Beams of mechanical particles flowed along his arm and turned into a circular device, releasing an invisible force field toward Hayleen.
In the empty space, Hayleen’s figure suddenly appeared and rippled.
Seeing that her position was exposed, Hayleen was shocked and hurriedly opened the transportation door to retreat. However, at this moment, Han Xiao raised his hand and grabbed it. A mechanical disc rose from the back of his head like a crown of light, freezing the space and shattering her teleportation spell.
Following this, a bunch of Mechanical Oracles surged out from the Mechanical Force and surrounded Hayleen, but they did not attack immediately.
“Crap…”
Hayleen felt despair in her heart. The difference in strength was too great. She could not fight a Transcendent alone. She clenched her teeth and made up her mind to fight to the death. However, at this moment, the shocked voice of the Ancestral Tree King suddenly sounded in her mind.
“Wait a minute, why is the mother tree’s coordinates of the Pivot Snake on Black Star?”
Hayleen was stunned. She took a look and was shocked.
The mother tree had locked onto the Pivotal Snake coordinates, and it was Black Star… what was going on ? This time, Han Xiao did not make a move immediately. Instead, he looked at Hayleen with interest and said, “Your idea of ambushing the Pivotal Snake was quite good, but it’s useless. I know that you have the mental network to contact each other regardless of distance. Help me send a message to the Ancestral Tree King. I already know the location of your World Tree’s main body. You’ve already lost this battle.”
“What did you do…” Hayleen could not help but ask.
“Are you referring to how I got rid of the genetic toxin you guys released?”
Han Xiao smiled. He raised his hand, and a translucent snake appeared in his palm. It was the Pivotal Snake that had been transformed into a Virtual Life Form.
The Pivotal Snake had transformed into a Virtual Life Form, and Han Xiao had instilled a large amount of data into it, nurturing it through artificial intelligence.
The result made him overjoyed. His previous idea was correct. The Pivotal Snake in the Virtual Life Form had escaped the limit of normal growth, and it could mature quickly this way. The connection between the Pivotal Snake and the World Tree in the Information Form did not disappear because of the Pivotal Snake’s life form change. Both parties still had a two-way connection.
From (Bold Explorer), Han Xiao saw the World Tree’s assassination plan. He originally thought that he was unlucky, but after seeing the short interaction between Hayleen and Harrison, he was a little uncertain and had a bold guess.
Maybe it was the effect of Harrison’s Halo that made Hayleen choose the food of the Pivotal Snake, which indirectly led to the Pivotal Snake turning into a Virtual Life Form, maturing in advance and sensing the coordinates of the World Tree… Although it did not sound probable, Han Xiao felt that anything was possible to a protagonist-type character.
Because the Virtual Life Form was controlled by Han Xiao, he simply stored the Pivotal Snake in the Godly Stronghold and turned it into a tool. This way, even if the World Tree could lock onto the Pivotal Snake in reverse, the coordinates would only be his location. There was no way to avoid him no matter what they did.
Seeing this through the mental network, the Ancestral Tree King’s face turned ashen. He immediately understood the current situation.
I’m afraid we no longer have the chance to remove the threat of the Pivotal Snake…
At this time, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said to Hayleen,
“Although you’re here to assassinate the Pivotal Snake, you did me a favor. You could be considered a hero of the three Universal Civilizations. I’ll make an exception and give you a chance to live.”
“…What are you going to do?”
“I will seal you up. Maybe after we get rid of the World Tree, you would still have a chance to survive. You have nowhere to run now, so you might as well accept the seal. Don’t make me waste my energy.” Han Xiao raised his brows.
“I…”
Hayleen sounded hesitant as if she was conflicted.
However, the next moment, she suddenly jumped up and retreated. A series of instantaneous spells were thrown out, creating a path in the mechanical army.
However, before she could do anything, the Mechanical Oracles around her attacked together and suppressed Hayleen instantly. Han Xiao moved closer to Hayleen and grabbed her neck with one hand.
“Looks like you won’t give up until you see your coffin.”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and put strength in his hand to crush her protective spell, and threw her toward the Mechanical Oracles.
An intense battle immediately broke out, but there was no suspense in the battle. The one-sided battle did not last long. Hayleen, who was at the end of her rope, was crushed by the group of Mechanical Oracles until she was almost paralyzed.
Seeing this, Han Xiao floated in front of her, pressed down on her head, and activated his ability. Not long after, the Spacetime Amber took form, and Hayleen’s sorrowful and humiliated expression froze.
“Congratulations to the Lord for catching the culprit. Nothing in this world can hide from your eyes,” Psionic Prime said.
“Alright, you’re not suitable for flattery. Go back.”
Han Xiao waved his hands and felt relieved.
If not for the World Tree’s plot, he would not have been able to make up his mind to experiment on the Pivotal Snake so quickly. The World Tree was just throwing stones at its own feet.
“Since the coordinates are already in my hands, I’ll call Harrison back… Speaking of which, I think I’ve taken advantage of his halo.”
Han Xiao thought about it and called the Realmless King to act as a transit station to contact Harrison.
Before long, Harrison’s remote projection appeared.
“Your Excellency Black Star, what can I do for you?”
“Don’t participate in the expedition. Come back.”
Harrison was a little surprised. “Huh? Didn’t we talk about this before? I remember you promised not to persuade me. I’ve decided to contribute to the galactic society…”
Before he could finish, Han Xiao interrupted him and smiled.
“Things are different now. The situation has changed. I have already grasped the exact coordinates of the World Tree’s main body and no longer need the expeditionary army. You don’t have to take the unnecessary risk.”
Harrison was stunned. “Your Excellency Black Star, are you trying to trick me into going back? How long has it been?”
Han Xiao smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to your luck this time. If not for you, I might not have been able to determine the location of the World Tree so quickly. Strictly speaking, part of the credit belongs to you. You’ve already made a huge contribution to ending this war, so you can leave now. It’s decided. I’ll teleport over later and bring you back.”
With that, he hung up.
On the other side, Harrison scratched his head in confusion.
No, what did I do? How did I make such a huge contribution? Why don’t I know about it?
