Volume 3 Chapter 283: Battle between Nanzhu and the Strange Lord
The space-travel fortress floats in the deep space of outer universe.
The First Ruler of the Star Empire was carried through the air by Nanzhu and brought to the cockpit of the universe-traveling fortress.
It was an empty place, with only scenes of the outside universe projected onto the walls.
The empty outer universe is even more desolate than the scene inside the universe.
But in the naked eyes of intelligent creatures, there is actually no difference.
At least the First Consul did not realize at first glance that he was now outside the universe.
"Lord Lin Xu, he has agreed to cooperate with us in searching for traces of the abyss." As soon as Nanzhu landed, he happily reported the good news to Lin Xu.
"Okay." Lin Xu glanced at the First Consul who was looking around and nodded, "Thank you for your cooperation."
"As long as you can really help my civilization break free from the control of higher civilizations, I can cooperate with you. I just don't know what you need me to do?" The First Consul looked as if he was ready to die.
"You don't need to do anything. The system in your body has fallen into temporary dormancy under the instruction of the abyss. Next, I will stimulate the system's activity and make it active again. You may feel some pain. So, just bear with it." Lin Xu replied.
"I understand. I will try my best to hold back." The First Consul nodded.
Then the next moment, he felt that Lin Xu's eyes seemed to have suddenly become black holes, covering his consciousness. In the blink of an eye, his consciousness seemed to have come to a place where there was no up or down, left or right. At the same time, a tearing pain from the depths of his soul continued to surge out of his consciousness.
It was also at this moment that he finally realized the system that had long been closely integrated with his consciousness deep in his mind.
It was like a vine wrapped around his consciousness.
And now, with the vines being stimulated, they were tightly wrapped around his consciousness with great force.
It was as if his consciousness would be completely shattered in the next moment, and his soul would be scattered.
While the First Consul was suffering from the torture, in front of the universe-crossing fortress, several universes away, in another universe, there was also an intelligent life host with the Abyss System, who was hiding from the pursuit of a transcendent civilization from the outer universe.
However, this civilization is still weak and has not yet developed into a large-scale interstellar civilization. It has just begun to try to break away from its mother planet and explore the universe.
Although this intelligent life host who obtained the Abyss System has become a big figure in the civilization with the help of the system, he has not yet become the leader of this civilization.
It can be said that this civilization favored by the abyss is still in its infancy and has just begun to develop. Even if it can really develop without any accidents and finally mature to be harvested by the abyss, it will take tens of thousands or even millions of years.
However, now, due to the accident in the abyss, this young man who had just obtained the system and was full of high spirits, lost the support of the system due to the silence of the system and was facing being hunted down.
On the sea, a huge missile destroyer is sailing. In the command cabin of the missile destroyer, besides the captain, there is also the system host who is a senator.
"Captain, I leave my safety in your hands." The system host held the captain's hand firmly and entrusted me with this.
The host's instructions made the captain tremble with excitement.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Tram, although I don't know what happened, you are safe from the moment you boarded the warship. I promise you with my life that I will protect you." The captain solemnly assured.
The Congressman Tram in front of us is not just a congressman, he is also a great scientist, scholar, and even businessman.
The company he founded has become one of the world's leading high-tech companies. The technology he developed personally has been applied to space. He even has the hope of achieving true interstellar colonization of an entire civilization based on his latest theories.
Faced with such a great figure, even if he was not a senator, the captain would never let anything happen to him, because that would not only be a loss to the country, but also a loss to the entire civilization.
However, even with the captain's assurance, Tram still couldn't feel at ease. He pretended to be relieved, returned to his resting cabin, and started calling again.
"System, system? Damn it, what on earth happened? Why is the system not responding?"
Compared to other people's assurances, he now trusts the system more.
He didn't know where the system came from, but over the years, he had achieved one achievement after another with the help of the system, so he believed that the system would never harm him.
At this critical moment, he also believed that the system would never harm him if the system could still respond.
Unfortunately, the system didn't respond at all, which made him very annoyed.
Until the bottom of the missile destroyer, a bang was suddenly heard.
Tram stood up with a start.
A hundred kilometers away from the missile destroyer, a small merchant ship was speeding towards the missile destroyer.
The speed of that merchant ship has far exceeded the limit of ordinary merchant ships.
If you look closer, you can see that on the merchant ship, there are countless branches and vines made of flesh and blood spreading and growing. Scarlet flesh, body tissues, arms and thighs are intertwined, entwining the entire merchant ship. From time to time, you can see a few faces full of pain. They were originally the guests on this merchant ship, but now they have become nutrients for flesh and blood.
These flesh and blood took root into the steel hull of the merchant ship, forming another source of power at the bottom of the merchant ship that drove the merchant ship to move quickly.
And all this flesh and blood eventually gathered in a small flowerpot on the deck of the merchant ship.
It was as if this branch of flesh and blood first bloomed from this small flowerpot, then absorbed the flesh and blood of the entire ship to grow, and finally controlled the entire ship.
Next to this small flowerpot, there was a figure covered in a black robe, gently stroking the branches in the flowerpot with his palm, as if he was soothing the flesh and blood branches that had spread across the entire ship.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it will be soon, very soon." The black-robed figure kept chanting softly.
“What do you think the Lord of Weirdness’s mission is this time?” A beautiful blonde woman with an outstanding figure stretched lazily on a chair next to the black-robed figure and asked in confusion.
"Haha, who can guess the mind of the Lord of Weirdness?" The black-robed figure said with a smile.
“But, the reward this time is actually the Path to Becoming a God. Don’t you find it incredible? Just by killing one person, you can get the Path to Becoming a God?” The blonde beauty was still puzzled.
“What’s so incredible about it? To us, becoming a god is unimaginable. But to the Lord of Weirdness, becoming a god is just a toy in His hands after all. Why would He care?” The black-robed figure said slowly.
“Yeah, even if you become a god, you are still just a puppet in His hands.” The blonde sighed.
"What? Seeing you're doing this so reluctantly, you don't want the reward? Well, then give it all to me. I won't mind." The black-robed figure said with a sneer.
“Who said no? It’s my share, not a bit less.” The blonde beauty’s pupils instantly turned blood red as she threatened.
"Hmph, that depends on whether you can be useful later. Now I'm the one controlling the boat's power." The black-robed figure snorted coldly.
Soon, the merchant ship was getting closer and closer to the missile destroyer, and both the black-robed figure and the blonde beauty were ready.
Because at this distance, the missile destroyer may discover something is wrong at any time and launch missiles at them.
But the strange thing is that the missile destroyer seemed to have no response at all.
Not until they reached a sufficient distance did the two men realize that the missile destroyer was in chaos. No wonder they had not been discovered even at this distance.
Although it seemed like good news, the two of them looked unhappy.
Because this means that someone has already got there first, and the target must not have been killed.
After all, this time the Lord of Weirdness sent out more than just them.
The path to becoming a god, who doesn’t want it?
I even heard that there were assassins from other high-dimensional forces, and everyone's target was the person carrying the system.
I don’t know what the carrier of this system has done to anger the public.
"Hurry up, we must not let others complete the task ahead of us." The blonde beauty shouted, and at the same time she flashed out.
She continuously flashes short distances to create a flying effect. Although she cannot actually fly, as long as she flashes again before falling, she can stay in the air for a long time.
Just like that, it quickly rushed onto the missile destroyer.
The black-robed figure controlled the flesh and blood branches on the merchant ship, wrapped him in it, and then grew upwards. When it reached the deck of the missile destroyer, the buds of the flesh and blood branches bloomed, and the black-robed figure walked out from it.
But the moment he appeared, he was attacked by a figure wearing power armor.
The black-robed figure's expression changed, and his flesh and blood quickly condensed. With a bang, they were shattered by a punch from the power armor, but they also blocked the attack.
"Who is it?" the black-robed figure asked.
"Nightmare Walker, are you the master of weirdness?" the voice on the other side asked.
"Humph, didn't you receive the order not to kill each other?" the black-robed figure asked.
"I got it. I just want to give it a try." The burly man in power armor opposite said with a somewhat grim expression.
"Give it a try?" the black-robed figure asked puzzledly.
"Normally I should have received a notification of point deduction just now, but I didn't." The sturdy man replied.
"That may be because you didn't hurt me?" the black-robed figure frowned.
"No, the nightmare space is not so easy to fool, or is it that your weird master is easy to fool?" the sturdy man asked back.
"What exactly do you want to say?" The black-robed figure felt vaguely uneasy.
"I don't know, but since I came here, I have a vague feeling that we seem to have been abandoned. I think you should be able to contact the weird master?" asked the burly man.
“How can the weird master be available at any time?” the black-robed figure refuted.
But the uneasiness deep in my heart became even deeper.
Because he had tried to consult the Weird Lord about some issues before, even if it was a paid consultation, that is, consulting with points, the Weird Lord remained silent, which was very abnormal.
Forget it, let’s finish the task first anyway.
The sturdy man sighed, then strode in the power armor towards the direction where the fierce battle between the missile destroyers was taking place.
The black-robed figure also suppressed his uneasiness and ran over there.
Soon they saw the system carrier who was being protected by a woman with her eyes covered in black veil, wearing hollow classical armor and holding a bow and arrow.
At the same time, there were several figures fighting fiercely in the air, including the black figure's teammate, the blonde beauty.
It was besieging a man with pitch-black eyes and no whites of his eyes together with several other beings from the strange master and several beings from the nightmare space.
The man was surrounded by ink-black energy, and every attack was as if a star was about to be destroyed. The black-robed figure broke out in a cold sweat just by looking at him.
Compared to the blonde beauty who was good at close combat, a character like him who focused more on spells would most likely be killed instantly if he got close to her, so he tactfully stayed a little further away.
Of course, he did not forget to control the broken limbs and arms on the ground, forming new flesh and blood vines, which quietly spread towards the system carrier protected by the blindfolded woman.
However, the woman was blind in her eyes but not in her heart. She shot an arrow directly, carrying an unknown flame, which burned directly along the flesh and blood vines towards the black-robed figure.
The black-robed figure quickly severed his connection with the vines, thus avoiding being burned by the flames.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster, the people who were besieging that being in the air were sent flying one by one.
Boom, boom, boom, some of them crashed directly into the sea, leaving no sound.
Some of them crashed directly into the warship, blowing off half of the warship's superstructure, and also became silent.
Some of them simply vaporized into the air when they were knocked away.
The blonde beauty was lucky, or maybe she was strong enough, so she only flew a distance in the air and then flashed back to the boat, then landed next to the black-robed figure. She then spat out a mouthful of blood, but it completely evaporated in mid-air.
There were also a few others who were slightly stronger and also landed on the deck.
The figure in the air seemed to have consumed too much energy in the recent outburst and slowly landed next to the woman in black veil.
For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
"I didn't expect to see you again, Martha." Ashim glanced at Martha, his tone somewhat emotional.
Although they were allowed by Lin Xu to join the main god space before, they did not choose to be in a team, but acted separately and freely.
The fact that we were able to come together for this mission can really be considered a chance encounter.
"I didn't expect that. Be careful." Martha was about to say something polite when she suddenly screamed.
At the same time that Martha discovered the abnormality, Ashim also discovered the abnormality.
However, even if an abnormality is discovered, it is meaningless.
Suddenly, a dark crack appeared in the air. As the crack slowly opened, an extremely powerful aura enveloped the entire warship.
Whether it was Martha, Ashim and the system carrier who were the first to be hit, or the assassins from the nightmare space or the weird master not far away.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be prey being targeted by higher beings. Their bodies were stiff and unable to move, and they even felt as if time had slowed down.
At the same time, in an unknown corner of the outer universe, the strange ruler's huge body like the Milky Way was hidden behind several small universes. Its tentacles, flickering like stars, reached into those small universes and absorbed energy from them.
At the same time, with the help of the perspectives remaining on several descenders, he observed the actions of the assassination system carriers in a certain universe.
Although he had taken away the high-dimensional beacons from these descenders before they took action to prevent humans from locating him.
But this does not prevent the weird master from leaving behind a little power to observe their actions.
This power is not enough to be used by humans.
Then, he saw Ashim fighting off the siege from him and the Nightmare Space Descendants.
The Weird Lord hesitated for a moment. He knew that humans had obtained an abyss system beacon, and with the cooperation of the system carrier, this greatly increased the possibility of humans finding the location of the abyss.
Therefore, they can no longer continue to increase the possibility of humans finding the abyss. At least before the arrival of the Mother River Civilization, they have to continue to help the abyss delay time.
So, the weird master decided to take action.
With just one move, he killed the system carrier in the blink of an eye and left immediately. It didn't even take more than a second. The weird master was confident that even humans could not track him in such a short time.
Not to mention that all of humanity’s attention is now focused on the abyss.
So, He took action.
In an instant, as the crack appeared above the warship, the entire sky turned into a thick black.
The crack was not very wide, and seemed to be only as long as a warship at most, but the impact it caused was that the entire sky was shrouded in black fog, and the sea began to shake.
Compared with the pitch-black clouds, the black mist on Ashim's body was like a child seeing his ancestor.
Then, the crack opened, and a tentacle sparkling with starlight stretched out from the crack and moved towards the warship below.
The moment the tentacles land on the warship, the entire warship will turn into dust in the universe, and even the entire planet may not be able to withstand an attack from the outer universe.
As for the invaders from the strange master and nightmare space on the warship , He never cared about them.
At this moment, everyone, including the black-robed figure, the blonde beauty, the burly man in power armor, and so on, had a clear understanding in their hearts, that is, everyone was dead, including them.
Time seemed to stand still. This moment seemed to pass very quickly, yet also seemed extremely long.
Just when everyone could not wait for the tentacles to fall and were about to be crushed to death by the pressure from the higher being, suddenly a smaller space crack appeared between the crack and the warship, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
A foot wearing beautiful sandals appeared across the space crack.
In an instant, the entire planet seemed to come alive again.
The shaking of the sea was calmed, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and even the tentacles that came across many universes were solidified in mid-air.
Everyone on the warship finally began to breathe heavily, but at the same time everyone was still staring at the sky, as if they didn't want to miss any details.
Then they saw the girl with fox ears and fox tail crossing an unknown distance and coming in front of the tentacle, swinging her tail towards the tentacle.
"You've taken the bait. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Nanzhu said excitedly.
The tentacles trembled violently, trying to break away, but they had already been locked by Nanzhu and were unable to do so.
The next moment, Nanzhu's tail hit the tentacle.
There was a loud bang, as if it exploded in the souls of everyone on the warship, making everyone dizzy.
Looking at the tentacles in the sky again, they had already broken apart and were spreading towards the crack.
Until it spread to an unknown distance within the crack.
They seemed to hear the wailing of some great being on the other side of the crack.
Immediately, the rift in the relationship was resolved, as if nothing had ever happened.
Nanzhu also knew that it was impossible to track down the other party in such a short time, but that didn't mean he couldn't give him a ruthless blow.
Nanzhu believed that the other party would definitely feel uncomfortable after this.
After all, what he used was the pure high-dimensional energy from Lord Lin Xu.
It's a pity that too much high-dimensional energy in the tail is consumed.
However, it was not a bad thing to have another excuse to ask Lord Lin Xu for help with his magic.
After teaching the ignorant and strange master a lesson, Nanzhu landed on the warship in a happy mood.
Ashim quickly saluted her.
He did not dare to neglect the girl beside Lin Xu at all. After all, she was the agent of the main god space.
The same is true for Martha.
Nanzhu greeted the two of them with a smile.
Then he looked at Tram, who was already stunned by what had happened.
"Hello, judging from your appearance, you must have just got the system not long ago." Nanzhu looked him up and down and said.
"System? What system? I don't know what you are talking about." Tram's heart was shaken violently, but on the surface he pretended to know nothing.
"Okay, stop pretending. Why do you think so many people come to you?" Nanzhu said with a smile.
"Let's cooperate." Tram was silent for a moment, then looked at Nanzhu seriously.
"Cooperation?" Nanzhu was a little surprised.
"Since you have come to me, it means that you are interested in the capabilities of the system, right? But unfortunately, the system is bound to me and cannot be transferred to others. But I can cooperate with you, you help me grow, and in the future, I will protect you, how about it?" Tram looked at Nanzhu seriously and said.
For a moment, Nanzhu didn't know how to respond to his imagination.
"You, don't really think you are the protagonist?" Nanzhu looked at him in surprise.
