Chapter 1014: The t.i.tan takes the stage!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
There had naturally been nothing wrong with Hosu’s Soul Art. Like the river of stars coming down, it had smashed the Inverse back where they had come from!
But the key was that this powerful counterattack couldn’t stop the advance of the Inverse! Not only did the Inverse not call a halt, they became even more crazed! They heedlessly rushed out of the Abyss, destroying everything in their way!
The technique had been extremely vicious, but Hosu direly lacked energy and couldn’t unleash several Divine Seals in a row. This single attack had consumed eighty percent of Hosu’s current energy.
Gritting his teeth, Hosu immediately threw himself into the battle. The entire Law Realm was looking to him, so no matter how much pain he was in, Hosu had to hold. If he was unable to hold on, the Law Realm’s warriors would suffer a harsh blow to their morale.
“Let’s go! Sweep through them together!” Xia Gucheng shouted fiercely after a brief moment of surprise.
Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng was no brute who only knew how to fight. He had sharp eyes and was able to immediately tell that Hosu’s condition wasn’t right and that he was forcing himself to fight. He hurriedly led the other Founders to Hosu’s side.
A Soul Hunter together with six Founders presented an impressive force. They charged into the Inverse ranks, their savage offensive making up for Hosu’s lack of energy.
“Are you okay!?” Xia Gucheng asked grimly as he fought.
Hosu smiled bitterly. “Energy is everything for a warrior. That’s true for not only your world. In my world, you can’t go without energy either, and what I lack right now is precisely energy! I won’t hide it from you. The attack just now took up most of my reserve energy. Right now, I can only use ten percent of my power.”
Xia Gucheng furrowed his brow. He did not say anything, but he understood what Hosu was saying.
He could tell from Hosu’s attacks that such powerful and fierce techniques naturally had to use up an astronomical amount of energy. Thus, the energy Hosu needed wasn’t even on the same level as the amount of energy a Founder needed.
At the start, the six Founders together with Hosu really did manage to present a major threat to the Inverse, combining their powers having a multiplicative effect. But as the battle dragged on, the flaws of fighting this way began to show themselves.
Gathering all of one’s experts together wasn’t good for defense! After all, the Abyss was quite large, and the Inverse had many warriors. Hosu and Xia Gucheng simply could not be everywhere at once. After hanging together for a few minutes, the team had to split up, each person rus.h.i.+ng toward a weak point in the defenses to aid the Law Realm in holding the line.
Hosu’s face grew more and more caked in sweat. His excessive consumption of energy prevented him from using any attacks that were too powerful, but using techniques that took less energy, he suffered a clear drop in fighting power and wasn’t much stronger than the Founders.
“What’s going on? The attacks of that super-expert are getting weaker and weaker!”
“When he first appeared, I felt like the six Founders together couldn’t match up to his arm, but now they’re evenly matched. Is someone like him not powerful enough to endure this?”
All the warriors of the Law Realm had gathered here, and many of them had combat experience, so they could see that Hosu’s combat strength was plunging. They couldn’t help but worry about the battle’s trajectory. After all, the balance of this battle was being maintained by true men who didn’t fear death. Once their main forces could no longer hold, the dark side of human nature would burst forth.
Husband and wife were like birds in the same forest. In the face of disaster, they would each run off in their own direction. If husband and wife were like that, how could these warriors who had gathered up to face this disaster be any different?
Everyone had lasted until now entirely because of the experts, these fellows who fought without care for their lives and gave everyone else the hope that they could win! If even a super-expert like Hosu couldn’t last, their morale would instantly crumble!
Hosu naturally understood this, which was why he was still hanging on. But he was getting weaker and weaker, and he could no longer use the emblematic Divine Seals of the Soul Hunters!
At this time, the number of experts willing to risk their lives began to dwindle. After all, self-detonation was suicide! Only a few warriors with fearless spirits dared to wager their lives! When these fearless men ran out, the only ones left were people with wavering resolve.
At times of victory, these people would naturally step forward and flaunt their might, but at times of loss, no one would run faster than them! Face? Dignity? They were about to lose their lives, so why would they care about their pride!?
Gradually, the Inverse once more took the upper hand. More and more Inverse charged out of the Abyss, and in close combat, the Inverse could display their full power. Killing one Inverse took several dozen, or even a hundred Law Sages all working together!
Morale began to fall and the defense line around the Cosmic Gate began to falter, even as the Founders and Soul Hunter Hosu were already doing everything they could!
At this moment, an enormous spatial gate appeared. It was abnormally brilliant and could fit almost an entire star!
As this enormous spatial gate opened, a mushroom-shaped giant head emerged!
It was a golden wars.h.i.+p shaped like a mushroom. On its bow was a cannon larger than a moon, pitch-black and intimidating!
This was a t.i.tan, the strongest wars.h.i.+p in the universe! The product of all the genius Cobaltis could muster and the first-cla.s.s technology of Summit!
Shock!
Incomparable shock!
None dared to believe their eyes. A wars.h.i.+p could be even larger than a planet! This was a scientific miracle, the strongest form a wars.h.i.+p could reach! There was no other!
And appearing with the universe’s strongest wars.h.i.+p was a top-cla.s.s energy weapon! Doomsday!
*Rumble!*
The moment the t.i.tan appeared, it unleashed a laser beam more dazzling than the sun!
A Doomsday Device!
It had this destructive name because this giant cannon the Cobaltis had designed had the ability to destroy the universe!
Through the work of several renowned scientists and the members of the Mech Race, the current Doomsday weapon had far surpa.s.sed the designs of the Yulani! It was now a weapon that matched its name!
Rumble!
Such power and force! The fiery beam of G.o.d shot into the Abyss. The Founders and Hosu had been fighting in the Abyss, but fortunately, they had received advance notification from Xia Guanghai and were able to retreat quickly. Otherwise, they would have been injured by this berserk beam of energy.
Everyone felt this cruel beam of energy, but the most vicious explosion was still to come!
*Rumble!*
After the beam entered the Abyss, it exploded! It produced a force more than ten times greater than the Divine Seal!
This was simply an unthinkable sight, like someone had thrown a ma.s.sive bomb into the Abyss. Moreover, the t.i.tan had clearly fired a beam of light!
Those who had not seen the t.i.tan’s blueprints naturally couldn’t understand its complexity. The Cobaltis had truly lived up to their reputation as a race of scientific geniuses. They had used the repulsing nature of light waves to create a light bomb!
Light had a frequency, and the Cobaltis had used the different frequencies of laser beams to design a brand new laser beam that the frequencies within could not tolerate!
If it encountered no obstructions, this laser would travel in a straight line into the depths of s.p.a.ce, but once it ran into something, the countless explosive spectrums would be thrown into disarray, triggering an immense explosion and annihilating anything that stood in the way of this laser!
This was why this weapon was called a Doomsday weapon! This was why the t.i.tan was considered the ultimate wars.h.i.+p! It was all because of the Doomsday laser, an existence that could not be surpa.s.sed!
The t.i.tan that Xia Fei had meticulously worked on within the Hidden Realm had appeared for the first time, and with its first shot, it had revolutionized the universe!
These invincible warriors from the Law Realm finally realized the power of science!
It was a mistake to believe that law powers were the ultimate power of the universe. When science was developed to a certain level, it could release a power that transcended the full-force blow of a Founder!
The sound and fury created by the explosion was so loud as to be maddening!
Even so, the warriors still stared in shock at the damage wrought by the t.i.tan, for this was more amazing than any movie!
As for the Inverse, they truly threw down their armor and weapons and fled for their lives. Besides Hosu’s soul-destroying Divine Seal, the t.i.tan was the greatest threat to them!
*Hurrah!*
The Law Realm warriors were reinvigorated. It turned out that besides a hidden expert like Hosu, the universe also had this killing machine, a t.i.tan!
More importantly, these destructive factors all stood on their side!
*Whoosh~*
The clumsy t.i.tan slowly emerged from the spatial tunnel. Suddenly, several dark figures shot out and immediately rushed at this enormous s.h.i.+p that was everyone’s hope, law force gathering in their hands. Rather than helping, their goal was clearly to destroy the t.i.tan!
“Founders!”
Someone with sharp eyes was able to make out these newcomers. They were Solo, Constant, Chill, and Rock, the four Founders who had fled!
Everyone knew that they had betrayed the Law Realm, but n.o.body had expected this betrayal to be so absolute! They were helping the Inverse by destroying this ultimate weapon so crucial to the Law Realm, the t.i.tan!
*Whoosh~*
Hosu and the other Founders immediately rushed up. They had to protect the t.i.tan, or else the Law Realm would be without hope!
At this moment, a second t.i.tan appeared, giving everyone’s heart a severe shock!
It turned out that Xia Fei had more than one t.i.tan! A second one of these galaxy-destroying weapons had come out hot on the heels of the first!
“Way to go, Xia Fei!” He had somehow built up a power that could contend with the Law Realm!
Solo, who had been rus.h.i.+ng at the first t.i.tan, exclaimed in shock, “What’s going on here!?”, his face turning pale.
What was going on? This was Xia Fei’s trump card!
They were nothing when they were hidden, but once they were revealed, they would scare you to death!
…
The calm here served as a stark contrast to the fierce battle at the Cosmic Gate. Not far from the Venal System was a fairy-tale-like green little planet that had served as Qin Mang’s home in his later years.
It was a place awash with the aroma of flowers and the song of birds. This peaceful planet seemed unaffected by the turmoil gripping the universe, as quiet and serene as ever.
Sighing, Moon Song softly said, “This is truly a beautiful place. Qin Mang must have lived a very pleasant retirement. To tell the truth, if someone was willing to marry me and live with me here, I would definitely agree.”
Moon Song glanced at Xia Fei, a profound meaning in her eyes.
Alas, Xia Fei had a solemn look and seemed deaf to Moon Song’s words. For a long time now, Xia Fei had always been rather distant when he was serious, and today, Xia Fei was very serious.
Waving the key that Qin Mang had left him, Xia Fei said sternly, “Let’s go and take a look in the bas.e.m.e.nt.
