Looking at the black screen on the communicator, Han Xiao could not help but scratch his head.
It was extremely normal for Beyond Grade As to spar with each other, but with their relationship, all Ames had to do was give him a heads up. There was no need to have such an official challenge letter at all.
Forget it, this isn’t the first time Ames has behaved willfully…
Han Xiao shook his head with resignation and felt that Ames was once again behaving willfully.
…
At the same time in the main palace of the Floating Dragon Island, Jenny placed down the communicator and looked at Ames, who was seated on the floating throne.
Ames was listening by the side during the communication, and she nodded with a smile.
“Good work. Thank you.”
“In truth, I don’t really understand…” Jenny could not help but speak up. “Although I dislike Black Star, his strength is undeniable. Pardon me for being direct, but I don’t think your chances of victory are high. Why do you want to do so?”
“You don’t seem to have any confidence in me,” Ames said with a teasing voice.
Aesop, who was by the side, could not help but interrupt. “This has nothing to do with confidence. After the battle on Planet Lighthouse, Black Star has already proven his strength, and your chances of victory are very low. Why do you have to issue a challenge that you will lose for sure?”
Ames kept her smile upon hearing that.
“We have to fight before knowing whether or not I can win.”
She then paused for a while and let out a soft sigh.
“Perhaps I am no longer a match for Black Star, but I want it to be proven…”
…
Five days went by in a flash.
Situated in the Godora Star System was Planet G-S7058, a gigantic planet with an obvious asteroid belt revolving around the planet. This planet was not too far from the headquarters of the Black Star Army and Planet Aquamarine. It was the location of their battle.
A ray of light approached from afar and stopped outside the atmosphere of the planet. Han Xiao was the one piloting the spaceship, and he had come alone.
“Detecting a large unknown target. Matching it with the database… Match found. The target is Floating Dragon Island, hum…”
Phillip’s voice sounded in the spaceship. Without his reminder, Han Xiao could also see the scene outside the window.
A gigantic Floating Dragon Island floated outside the atmosphere of the planet, and the entire planet was protected by a golden yellow shield.
Ten large alloy satellites were lined up beside Floating Dragon. These were the weapons that Han Xiao had given to Ames.
The eyesight of a Beyond Grade A was shocking, and Han Xiao could see that Floating Dragon Island had already activated their armed mode. All the buildings were retracted underground, and no one was moving around on the island. Ames was the only one standing on the dock, looking at him from afar.
Han Xiao’s face contorted slightly upon seeing that.
She actually brought Floating Dragon over? Does she really want to go all out?
He then tried calling Ames’ personal number, and Ames picked up this time.
Ames’ calm appearance appeared on the screen.
“You’re here.”
“Since you sent me an invitation, how could I not come?” Han Xiao said with a helpless look. “You only need to ask me if you want to have a spar. It’s not like I will reject you anyway. Is there really a need to make things so solemn?”
“You misunderstand me. This isn’t a simple spar,” Ames said slowly. “I will use all my strength to fight you, and I hope that you will also give it your all. You may lose your life if you are careless.”
Han Xiao kept his smile upon hearing that and asked with a frown, “Just what is this about?”
“Ever since you entered the Beyond Grade A realm, I’ve fought alongside you against Heber and EsGod, but we have never had a proper exchange between us. Thus, I want to fight you officially for once until one side loses the ability to fight back.”
“Is there a need to use such a method to see who is stronger between us?” Han Xiao did not understand.
“During this period, word of your actions has spread throughout the universe,” Ames replied softly, “and in less than two years, you’ve gone from a new Beyond Grade A to your current status. I’ve watched you changing every day. Do you know that the feeling of being caught up to really isn’t nice?”
When Han Xiao first entered the Beyond Grade A realm, both of them had a relationship of equal status, and Ames was willing to help Han Xiao, who was a new Beyond Grade A, overcome his difficulty.
In just two short years, Han Xiao had grown at a rapid speed, and the organization that he had set up had already far exceeded Floating Dragon.
Ames could feel that their status and strength were gradually becoming further and further apart, and their relationship was no longer on equal grounds. As such, her mental state also experienced a subtle change.
Ames was a carefree individual and could not be bothered with many things. At the same time, she was extremely stubborn toward the people she cared about. This point could be clearly seen when she had stubbornly searched for Aesop.
And Han Xiao was one of those whom she cared about.
Ames had once watched as Han Xiao rose to prominence, but the status between them was now reversing. She did not wish to see Han Xiao overtake her by too much and was not satisfied by only seeing Han Xiao’s battle records on the news. As such, she decided to issue a challenge and personally experience Han Xiao’s strength.
She wanted to see just how big the difference between her and Han Xiao was!
The next moment, the alarm in Han Xiao’s spaceship rang.
“Detecting a powerful energy source!”
Han Xiao then looked over and saw that it was Ames releasing her energy.
Ames stepped out from the dock and into space.
The energy level in Ames’ body was increased to the peak, and her tone became solemn.
“Don’t hold anything back. Come!”
The next moment, she raised her arms, and the ten satellite bricks and Floating Dragon shot toward Han Xiao.
At this moment, a notification popped up on Han Xiao’s interface.
_____________________
You have triggered the S ranked mission [‘Dragon Emperor’ Ames]!
Mission Requirements: Last for as long as possible under Ames’ attacks. (The battle method isn’t restricted. You can only leave battle mode for 30 mins at most. There are no restrictions to the number of times you leave battle mode.)
Reward: You will be able to attain the corresponding reward by fulfilling the corresponding requirements. (Only 1% of the time out of battle mode will be counted toward the mission.)
_____________________
This was the same mission that he had when facing the Tyrant. The longer he hung in there, the higher the reward.
Apart from experience, he could obtain Legendary Points, Character Summon Cards, and the opportunity to draw one of Ames’ talents or skills.
However, Han Xiao was not in the mood to see the mission at the moment.
How can I go all out against you?
Han Xiao let out a sigh but did not say these words.
With his current strength, his attacks would be too lethal if he went all out.
She probably would not be able to tank his attacks.
Han Xiao shook his head. He did not plan on injuring Ames. No matter what, they were allies, and he would not go too far.
Seeing Ames’ blazing battle intent, Han Xiao instantly made a decision.
Let me drag this battle out. My tankiness will be enough to exhaust all her energy so that she cannot carry on fighting. This is the only way to prevent me from injuring her and ruining our relationship…
The distance between them shrank rapidly, and Han Xiao no longer hesitated. He then activated hi
s mechanical suit and opened the secondary dimension to summon a portion of his mechanical army.
“Lord.” Psionic Prime appeared with various other Apostle Weapons.
Han Xiao then said with a deep voice, “Attack. Your main focus should be exhausting her. Do not go all out.”
“Understood.” Psionic Prime nodded, and flames shot out from his thrusters. He then charged at Ames with the mechanical army behind him.
The glow in Ames’ eyes grew brighter and brighter as she inched forward slowly.
Force Field: Floating Dragon Planet Destroying Hammer!
The force field surrounding Floating Dragon rapidly expanded, and Floating Dragon accelerated like a gigantic meteoroid, smashing down toward the densely packed mechanical army.
This scene was like a brick slamming down toward a bunch of ants.
If Floating Dragon crashed down on a planet at such velocity, it would probably be able to destroy an entire planet.
Using her force field to swing her weapon around was the Dragon Emperor’s style of combat!
The proper method for dealing with such an attack would be to destroy Floating Dragon. However, Han Xiao did not wish to destroy the other party’s home and was truly helpless against Ames swinging her base around.
The mechanical army did not open fire toward Floating Dragon but followed their orders to allow Floating Dragon to break through their defensive line.
The outcome was obvious.
The gigantic Floating Dragon swung down on the tiny Han Xiao!
The shadow rapidly grew larger and covered everyone’s view.
Looking at the gigantic continent-like brick smashing down toward him, Han Xiao could feel his balls aching.
Ames had once used Floating Dragon to save him, but now he had to endure being smashed in the face by Floating Dragon.
This was truly retribution!
Chapter 906 - Exchanging Blows
In the universe, her force field was able to accelerate an object without any limits, and this was the battlefield most suitable for Ames. Her Force Field Esper Ability leaned toward defense and control, and it was extremely powerful in Ames’ hands.
Under the control of the force field, Floating Dragon’s speed continued to increase, and its gigantic body was like a super large scale attack. If Han Xiao allowed Floating Dragon to speed up without limit, it would be incredibly difficult to avoid it and become extremely powerful.
However, Floating Dragon still was not fast enough, and it was like a tortoise in Han Xiao’s eyes. He had more than ten different ways to avoid the attack.
However, Ames was not an individual who only knew how to use bricks to smash others. Her eyes glowed brightly, and she released a force field to trap Han Xiao’s body and pull him toward Floating Dragon.
Force Field: Gaze of the Dragon!
The space around him seemed to have frozen up, and Han Xiao’s body endured a tremendous amount of pressure. He found it difficult to even lift his arm, and he was dragged toward Floating Dragon.
“I used this attack before in the past…” Han Xiao’s mouth contorted.
With his current strength, he was not afraid of Ames’ control ability and could easily break free from the force field. However, he was not planning on avoiding this attack. He wanted to obtain combat information through this attack and test the upgraded effects of his health and mana conversion.
Floating Dragon approached him rapidly, and Han Xiao could already see the various structures on the surface of Floating Dragon.
A powerful pressure assaulted him from the front, and he could feel a sense of danger approach him.
Han Xiao raised up his arms, and nanoparticles flowed on the surface of his mechanical suit to form a shield generator. A blue psionic shield then appeared in front of him, and he took a defensive posture.
The next moment, Floating Dragon smashed down on his shield and sent him flying far away while being stuck to Floating Dragon.
Ames then twisted her palm, and Floating Dragon’s trajectory was aimed at the nearby planet, prepared to smash Han Xiao into the planet.
At the same time, the mechanical army led by Psionic Prime approached Ames and began to open fire.
Ames’ ten satellite bricks were not idle either. Six of them surrounded Ames in different directions and were covered in a layer of force field to form a defensive formation.
The gaps of the defensive line were filled up by her force field and it can be said that her defensive formation didn’t have a single blind spot.
The other four satellite bricks were then shot toward the formation of the mechanical army under Ames’ control.
The mechanical soldiers were not so gentle toward the satellites and unloaded their firepower without restraint. The satellite bricks were immediately riddled with holes and craters with scrap metal floating around. These scrap metals then formed a metal whirlwind under Ames’ control and roamed unhindered around the mechanical army.
The Apostle Weapons ignored these attacks and rapidly approached Ames’ defenses. Psionic Prime waved his spear and struck the force field shield to create a hole in it.
The very next instant, a new force field filled up the hole. Just when Psionic Prime was about to continue attacking, Ames raised her finger, and a force field engulfed the Apostle Weapons and threw them out. Following which, an even more powerful force field was formed, and the mechanical army formation was split in two like Moses parting the red sea.
Ames’ Force Field Esper Ability could restrict the Human Wave Tactic to a certain extent.
Right at this moment, a light flashed behind Ames, and Mad Sky Hunter appeared behind her. He opened his mouth and revealed his alloy teeth, biting down at her waist.
However, he only managed to bite air.
A white, sleek finger then tapped on Mad Sky Hunter’s head. Ames avoided the attack by using Void Hyperdrive. After being strengthened by the Evolution Cube, her mobility had increased by a great deal.
Violent force field energy then entered Mad Sky Hunter’s body through her finger.
Force Field: Seismic Wave!
Cracks immediately began to form on Mad Sky Hunter’s body, and a large amount of spare parts dropped out from his body. His body was severely injured, and he immediately ran away in fear.
The Force Field Esper Ability had a wide range, but the strength of the force field would be more powerful the closer Ames was to the target.
All of a sudden, Ames felt fluctuations in the Void Dimension. Looking up, she saw Han Xiao, who was originally stuck on Floating Dragon, disappear.
Han Xiao swung his slightly numb hands and was shocked by the combat information.
“She was actually able to deal Crushing Force damage to me. Only a pugilist like Heber would be able to use his head to smash Floating Dragon up.”
Although the damage was high, Han Xiao did not mind at all. There was a limit to how powerful Ames’ AOE attack was.
His recovery speed was extremely high at the moment, and as long as the enemy’s burst damage did not reach a certain extent or deal him a [Severe Wound] status, he would not be afraid.
Floating Dragon did not continue smashing down toward the planet but turned around to hammer down on Han Xiao. Its gigantic body brushed past the side of the planet and formed a huge sandstorm.
Ames, who was far away, used Gaze of the Dragon again, and Han Xiao could feel the force field restricting him again. He had already obtained the combat information and was not prepared to receive the attack again. He then placed his palms together.
Hum!
His mechanical suit vibrated and generated an endless stream of energy to form a small field around him.
This field successfully blocked Ames’ force field on the outside, and Gaze of the Dragon became ineffective.
This was ‘anti-Dragon Emperor’ equipment that he had created especially for this.
This was equipment after all and had a limited effect. However, the strength of Ames’ for
ce field could be increased further, and she would definitely be able to break the field if she had enough time. Thus, Han Xiao did not plan on approaching Ames but played hide and seek with her from afar while controlling his mechanical army to attack.
Upon seeing that Han Xiao did not dare approach her, Ames took the initiative to move and flew toward Han Xiao while dealing with his mechanical army.
Upon seeing that, Han Xiao also retreated and maintained the gap between them. After getting out of the control of the force field, Floating Dragon Island was not able to catch up to him, and his mobility was higher than Ames’. Thus, he had the initiative.
Upon seeing that a single Floating Dragon Island could not do anything to Han Xiao, Ames’ palms turned into claws, and she performed a grabbing motion toward one of the satellite bricks attacking the mechanical army.
This satellite brick then froze in place as though it was being trapped, and the layers of force field began to contract rapidly, which made the satellite brick vibrate violently.
Ames pulled her arm back slowly, and the force field continued to contract, accumulating a powerful rebound force. The next moment, her eyes shone brightly, and she clenched her fists. Like an arrow being shot out, the rebound force accumulated within the satellite brick exploded forth!
This satellite brick shot out toward Han Xiao at high speed!
Force Field: Satellite Cannon!
The terrifying acceleration took off a layer of the metal shell and almost disintegrated the satellite.
Han Xiao saw the satellite brick approaching him rapidly but did not bother dodging the attack.
At the same time, Silver Flash, who was waiting in the distance, transformed into his Planetary Obliteration Cannon main body and opened fire at the satellite.
The thick silver light accurately struck the satellite brick and penetrated through the satellite like a knife slicing through a meatball!
The next moment, the satellite began expanding from the inside, and a brilliant red light exploded from within. It exploded right in front of Han Xiao like an orange!
