“We’re not going to attack? This is a good opportunity to break out.”
“I just contacted the upper echelons. They told us not to act rashly and listen to their arrangements for the time being.”
Mablo paused and looked at Han Xiao in surprise.
“Also, the upper echelons specifically told me not to mess with that Black Star fellow… I will die.”
At the same time, the aura of Aegon Vardnadze and the others rose rapidly, and the atmosphere hecame tense.
Seeing this, Han Xiao’s smile gradually disappeared.
“We won’t force you to take part in the battle, but it’s a must for you to be grounded. There’s no room for negotiation. You’re all seniors with high statuses, and I don’t wish to use force. However, if you make things difficult for me, I can only make you suffer a little. Don’t choose the hard way.”
With that, the Beyond Grade As behind him spread out and formed a semi-circle around Aegon Vardnadze and the others.
“Humph, that’s more like it.” Aegon Vardnadze’s aura was boiling as he shouted, “You want to solve the problem with just words? You’re dreaming. Either you back off obediently or use your fists to make me give in. This is the rule between Beyond Grade As. If you want to stop me, you can give it a try!”
Bang!
Raging flames gushed out, using energy as fuel, as though it would never go out. The alloys on the ground melted instantly!
Aegon Vardnadze’s body changed in an instant. His body expanded and turned into a strange giant-like creature. He looked like the demon in some religious artworks that had walked out of hell, and his body was covered in flames.
The next moment, his four limbs suddenly stomped on the ground, and his entire body shot toward the outer space of the planet like a meteor. He was extremely fast, trying to break through the encirclement.
This was a signal. The many Revivors who stood with him showed their abilities and attacked the Beyond Grade As around them. The energy storm exploded, instantly opening up the chaotic battlefield. The ground shattered under the collision of the Beyond Grade As’ abilities, creating huge craters in the blink of an eye. Looking from outer space, it was like the planet had been ruthlessly smashed by an awl, shattering a part of its shell.
“Take him down!”
Han Xiao remained where he was and waved his hand.
Although there were a few powerful individuals among the group, Kakasu and Manison were not to be trifled with. With the help of Clotti, Oulou, and many other direct descendants, they were more than enough to suppress Aegon Vardnadze and the others. There was no need for him to fight personally.
As expected, just as Aegon Vardnadze rushed into outer space, a huge silver Mechanical Deity quickly appeared, and the visual effect almost covered the entire sky. It looked down on the planet from outer space and slammed down, instantly smashing Aegon Vardnadze back to the ground.
Bang!
The alloy ground caved in, twisted, and shattered. Aegon Vardnadze crashed down like a meteor, creating a ring-shaped valley.
What a good Buddha Palm technique!
Han Xiao’s eyelids twitched.
On the other side, Kasuyi’s eyes flashed and an endless amount of psychic energy gushed out, filling every inch of space. There was almost no place to hide and the continuous mental explosions shook and distorted the movement of many escaping Revivors.
The other revivors did not interfere. They retreated to the edge of the battlefield and only received a little bit of psychic shockwave. They were also shocked and felt a sharp pain in their brains.
“These later generations’ Beyond Grade As are not simple…”
“Just one-third of them can stop them. I don’t think they can escape.” “The leader, Black Star, has yet to make his move. His strength should not be too far off.”
Many of the Revivors who were watching the show whispered among themselves. They were also using this opportunity to observe the strength of the Beyond Grade As of this era.
They had just revived and lost their weapons. Most of them were not at their peak state, especially the Mechanics. If this group of Beyond Grade As was so powerful that they did not see a chance to escape, they would accept the house arrest.
Manison and Kasuyi led a group of association members to fight with Aegon Vardnadze and the others for a while, quickly defeating the weakened Revivors one after another. However, there were a large number of opponents, and there were peak Beyond Grade As as well. Many of the association members were also injured.
Aegon Vardnadze, whose body was covered in wounds, avoided Manison’s psionic cannon and collided with the ‘Desolate Beast’ Mercer. He received a few punches in exchange for injuries, and his sharp claws slammed into Mercer’s chest. The concentrated flames entered Mercer’s body through a skill and exploded.
Boom!
The flames expanded, and Mercer shot out from the smoke and landed on the ground. His momentum did not decrease, and he plowed out a valley. Black smoke was coming out of his body as if he was burnt inside out, and his injuries were not light.
However, at this moment, Aurora raised her hand and shot out a wave of life energy, hitting Mercer. His charred skin fell off one after another, and new flesh grew out. His injuries disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Recovery Esper!”
Aegon Vardnadze’s expression changed. Suddenly, he had a flash of insight. He changed his direction and charged toward Aurora.
After the intense battle, he had already realized that it was impossible for him to forcefully break out of the encirclement. Since he could not break through Manison and Kasuyi’s blockade, he already had the intention to give in. However, when he saw Aurora’s ability, he suddenly had an idea.
Since the three Universal Civilizations were resisting a foreign enemy, recovery-type Espers would surely have a strategic significance to the high-level combatants. If he could get to the recovery-type Esper class and use her as a hostage to negotiate with them, he might be able to successfully leave!
Aegon Vardnadze made up his mind.
One last try!
Just as he changed targets, the Beyond Grade As on the association’s side were all furious.
Aurora was their support to fight against the World Tree, and she was a strategic weapon that could maintain the advantage of high-level combatants. However, this guy wanted to put their only healer in danger to escape?!
Even the direct Beyond Grade As, such as Clotti, who did not make a move, could not hold back any longer. They turned into streams of light and charged toward Aegon Vardnadze.
This scene was like poking a hornet’s nest. Aegon Vardnadze was shocked, but he did not stop. Instead, he increased his speed and believed that this move would work.
The revivors were also shocked. They were about to continue watching the show, but at this moment, a powerful shockwave swept out!
Buzz!
Han Xiao’s figure appeared in front of Aegon Vardnadze like teleportation. The next moment, the black Mechanical Deity rose from the ground and said coldly:
“I know that you have a grudge with the three Universal Civilizations, so it’s not a problem for you to vent your anger. However, if you wish to attack our important strategic figure, you’re courting death!”
Han Xiao did not hesitate at all. He opened his palm, and a strong restraining force field was applied on Aegon Vardnadze, temporarily freezing him in midair. Then, the army of soldiers separated from the Mechanical Deity and fired at him.
Wave after wave of attacks rained down on Aegon Vardnadze without holding back. No matter how Aegon Vardnadze tried to escape, the mechanical army chased after and bombarded him.
“I surrender! Stop attacking!”
Aegon Vardnadze hurriedly admitted defeat, but Han Xiao ignored him.
The Beyond Grade As who were rushing over stopped in their tracks and the revivors who were watching the battle were also shocked. How could they not see tha
t this was killing intent?
Regardless of how Aegon Vardnadze surrendered or retaliated in despair, Han Xiao ignored all of them. He chased him for a long time before finally blasting him to death, leaving only an incomplete body falling from the sky. The battle of breaking the encirclement had long stopped, and everyone could only watch as Han Xiao killed Aegon Vardnadze. No matter how Aegon Vardnadze fought back, he could not escape Black Star’s control. The difference in strength was completely overwhelming.
Just as the revivors were surprised by Black Star’s killing move, Hila grabbed Aegon Vardnadze’s corpse, pulled out a soul, and threw it into the Underworld, attracting everyone’s attention.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hila did not mind and snorted.
“Black Star can give all of you a new life, but he can also take your lives. If you continue to be so shameless, I’ll send all of you to hell!”
Chapter 1351 - No One Believes
“Underworld?”
Hearing the word, a commotion broke out among the revivors. Because the era was different, their reactions were also different.
Some people knew what the Underworld was, and they looked at Hila with shock and doubt. Some were confused and did not know what this meant. After asking around, they finally understood the significance of the Underworld. Their expressions changed, and they felt a strong sense of fear.
Nilfgadi, who had been watching the show, frowned and looked at Hila.
“Speaking of which, that recovery-type Esper’s ability is very familiar. What’s your relationship with Nerkese and Eros?”
He was also a Primordial One, and he had been in the same era as the two sisters of the Underworld. From the start, he felt that Hila and Aurora’s abilities had a familiar aura.
Hila looked down at him and said calmly, “Both of them died long ago. We inherited (Dawn of Life) and (Power of the Dead) respectively, as well as the Underworld that they left behind.”
“So that’s how it is…” Nilfgadi nodded slowly and did not say anything else.
Seeing that he had no other questions, Hila ignored him and looked at everyone.
“Black Star has already given you enough face. Don’t push your luck. As I said before, if you don’t want to live, you can continue to make a fuss. Let’s see if we can send all of you to the Underworld!”
“Hila! Everyone here is a senior. Watch your words.” Han Xiao put up an act of scolding.
“Humph.” Hila threw away the remains of Aegon Vardnadze and retreated into the crowd.
Listening to the two of them singing a duet, some of the revivors had ugly expressions on their faces, but they did not dare do anything extreme.
The threat of the Underworld was not small. Compared to entering the Underworld, house arrest seemed more acceptable…
Furthermore, the overwhelming strength that Black Star had displayed by playing Aegon Vardnadze like a game and killing him made many of the revivors wary.
However, although Aegon Vardnadze was killed, most of the revivors did not feel sympathetic. They had seen the entire process, so they naturally knew that it was not Black Star who started it, but Aegon Vardnadze who brought it upon himself.
On the other hand, the Beyond Grade As on Han Xiao’s side did not feel disgusted. Instead, they felt happy. It was Aegon Vardnadze’s fault for being so daring. Even if Black Star had not made a move, many people would still have wanted to kill him. Killing people to establish his prestige would easily make people think that he was forcing the revivors to do something. To prevent such repercussions, Han Xiao originally did not want to kill anyone. However, Aegon Vardnadze courting death was a special case. To be able to make both sides think that he deserved to die was simply amazing.
Just as he had been worrying about how to establish his prestige, Aegon Vardnadze sent him an excellent opportunity without causing any backlash. He was a great person who had given him timely help. He would feel bad if he did not ask the eight Underworld brothers to take care of him!
Seeing that the revivors had stopped the commotion, Han Xiao knew that this act of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys had worked.
However, this was not enough. His main goal was not to put them under house arrest but to convince them to join the war willingly.
Han Xiao took a deep breath and said:
“Inviting all of you to participate in the war is not asking you to contribute for free. This is also a deal. I believe that all of you will be satisfied with this price.”
Hearing this, many of the revivors looked interested
“Oh? What’s the reward?”
Hilbert asked curiously.
Han Xiao smiled and went for the strong approach as planned.
“As long as you choose to participate in the battle, no matter how many times you die in battle, I will wake you up again. If there comes a day when we expel the foreign enemies, the participants will forever enjoy the right to revive in the Sanctum and obtain a permanent safety guarantee. However, if you do not participate in the battle this time, there will not be another chance to exchange for it in the future. This is my offer.”
The revivors present were stunned for a moment before their hearts skipped a beat.
If that was the case, they would have nothing to worry about. Using the battle in exchange for the right to be revived in the Sanctum would be an extremely profitable deal!
Furthermore, there was also [Dawn of Life) ‘s current ability user. Their survival on the battlefield was guaranteed, and it would not be so easy to die. It was worth a try!
The only problem was whether Black Star would keep his word.
Observing everyone’s reaction, Han Xiao smiled and said, “Don’t doubt my sincerity. The Sanctum Revival is not difficult for me. Reviving you guys is just a piece of cake.”
Reeve could not help but question, “You mean the Sanctum Revival can be used nonstop? Is there no limit?”
“Hehe, there really isn’t. Don’t worry, no matter how many times you die, the Sanctum Revival can still take effect.”
Han Xiao replied with a smile. When he introduced the situation earlier, he did not repeat the lie that the Sanctum Revival could only be done once, so this batch of revivors did not know.
As soon as he said that, the surrounding association members could not help but look at him. Although they did not have any expression on their faces, they were sighing in their hearts…
Black Star’s ability to lie through his teeth was getting better and better!
Many of the association members believed that the Sanctum Revival only had one chance. The lie had been told for so long that they treated it as the truth. They did not believe that Han Xiao was going back on his words. In their eyes, this was just a lie that Black Star had made up to trick these Revivors into joining the battle.
However, no one intended to expose the ‘truth’. Tricking more revivors into joining the battle was in their interest, and this lie was ineffective on ‘insiders’ like them.
This split the difference between the current Beyond Grade As and the revivors. Many of the association members believed that they would not fall for it even after they revived. Thus, there was a difference in treatment, and it would not hurt the interests of their group. Therefore, no one planned to expose Han Xiao’s’ lie’. Even Garoze and the others who had just revived chose to remain silent. Instead, they felt that Black Star had made a good move.
Looking at the revivors’ excited faces, many association members laughed in their hearts. They could not help but feel a sense of superiority as if they had grasped the truth.
At the same time, Kasuyi glanced at his companions around him and knew that no one was taking it seriously. His mouth could not help but twitch.
As someone who knew the truth, he naturally knew that Han Xiao was telling the truth. However, this group of Beyond Grade As had already been fooled by Black Star, and no one believed him!
Kasuyi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
>
‘Forget it, it’s not a big problem. When Black Star proves it with his actions, they will know which is the truth…’
He was not worried that Black Star’s plan would fail. The members of the three Universal Civilizations and the association would most likely hide the ‘truth’ for their own benefit. As for the revivors, they would be under unified surveillance and would not be able to freely come into contact with information from the outside world. The three Universal Civilizations would naturally filter out any information that might reveal the ‘truth’.
Even if the truth could not be hidden, and the Revivors knew the ‘truth’, there would still be some direct descent revivors who would voluntarily sacrifice themselves. As long as a group of people died in the battle and the revivals were successfully carried out, everyone would understand what Han Xiao said today was true, and the situation would immediately return to normal, continuing to rush forward.
‘There are many backup plans, and everything is under control. Black Star is still very steady…’
Kasuyi secretly praised.
On the other side, many revivors were shaken by Han Xiao’s conditions.
Hilbert’s eyes flashed.
“If what you said is true, this deal is worth it. I can work for the civilization again and fight against the foreign enemies.”
“It’s alright. You guys have plenty of time to consider.”
Han Xiao smiled.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a spaceship landed on the ground. The hatch opened, inviting everyone to board it. Many of the revivors had already accepted Han Xiao’s words, and they obediently boarded the spaceship.
Everyone boarded the starship and quickly set off for the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Point that the three Universal Civilizations had set up nearby. The cabin was peaceful, and there were no tense confrontations. Many of the current Beyond Grade As had finally formed a relationship with the Revivors, and many of them had reunited after a long time.
