"———————!!!"
The surging power of destruction soared into the sky, directly lifting the massive tal structure entirely off the ground. A violent tremor, like a magnitude ten earthquake, spread through the earth. At the sa ti, the Star God fragnt, forcefully infused by Duanmu Huai, began to gradually expand, with black radiance shooting out from its crevices.
Clutching tightly to the Star God fragnt, Duanmu Huai had no intention of letting go, even as his body was pierced by the Star God’s Spear. He still did not release his grip.
And at this mont, Duanmu Huai also felt the thoughts coming from the Star God, which were not like telepathic ssages. Instead, the Star God’s thoughts ford images in Duanmu Huai’s mind, allowing him to fully grasp its intentions. It wanted to end this battle, to submit beneath Duanmu Huai’s feet, to fight as his servant. Its only request was— hoping that Duanmu Huai would spare its life.
Indeed, for the first ti in its existence, the Star God fragnt seed to feel the imminent threat of destruction and death. Its thoughts trembled and scread, begging for Duanmu Huai’s rcy. It could not imagine what the inevitable arrival of death and destruction would entail, but it feared a conclusion it could neither comprehend nor accept.
It was willing to offer everything to Duanmu Huai, even at this mont, Duanmu Huai could feel the river of knowledge flowing from the Star God fragnt’s mind. It was the origin of everything since the birth of the universe— knowledge, steel, technology. Various knowledge and technology were pouring from the Star God’s thoughts into Duanmu Huai’s mind.
If Maria were here, she would surely beco completely imrsed in it, for this was the knowledge and experience of countless millennia from the inception of the universe to the present. To exaggerate, it seed like a blessing from the God of All Machines.
But unfortunately, for Duanmu Huai, his only reaction was........
"It’s so annoyingly noisy!!"
With Duanmu Huai’s roar, the violent power of destruction surged out again, shattering the knowledge and experience the Star God attempted to instill in Duanmu Huai’s mind. He found those disorganized things most botherso— equations, technological blueprints, core technologies. Just thinking about them made Duanmu Huai’s head itch, as if his brain was going to grow...... He found it most annoying!
"Boom—————!!!"
As Duanmu Huai intensified the explosion of his destructive power again, the knowledge the Star God fragnt had infused into Duanmu Huai’s mind shattered and crumbled, its spirit sustaining imnse damage at that mont. Amidst the ear-piercing screams, the Star God fragnt suddenly tilted its head back, and the faceless, lightbulb-like flat face shattered. Accompanied by the collapse, the erupting jet-black light burst forth, rging into the light beam in the sky.
"Uwaaahhhh!!"
At this mont, Ann and Lorena, as well as Ogis, clutched their heads and fled, rushing out of the collapsing steel building as quickly as possible.
"I knew Mr. Knight would definitely make a big ss!!"
Looking back at the destructive light that had completely engulfed the entire structure, Ann couldn’t help but complain, while Lorena beside her sighed softly.
"Sir Knight is still the sa as before......"
The further impact of the destructive force completely obliterated the last trace of consciousness of the Star God fragnt. Soon, Duanmu Huai felt in his hand the once incredibly sturdy Star God’s body, which even his Thunder Warhamr struggled to damage, swiftly crumbling away like sand and disappearing. The Star God’s Spear that had pierced through Duanmu Huai also dissipated.
A mont later, in front of Duanmu Huai, only a faint glow remained, barely as bright as a five-watt light bulb.
"No way? It’s still not completely dead?"
Staring blankly at the glowing orb in front of him, Duanmu Huai was utterly speechless. He could guess that this was probably the Star God before being discovered by the Fear of Death, before becoming a Star God— the initial, self-unaware, star-surrounding, power-sucking phenonon.
Could this thing really be unkillable?
[Beep—————!]
Just as Duanmu Huai was at a loss about what to do, a system prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Warning: Detection of First-level Authority Creation]
[Comncing Containnt (Countdown ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five......)]
Wait, what? Containnt? What the hell is containnt?
Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Duanmu Huai was montarily stunned. However, before he could reach out to open this system ssage to see the specifics, the countdown had reached zero.
[Containnt Initiated]
"—————!"
The next mont, a flash occurred in front of Duanmu Huai, and then, a massive tal box appeared before him. It looked like a tal coffin, and through its glass, Duanmu Huai could even see a sleeping girl inside......
Wait, isn’t this his [chanical Incarnation]?!
Seeing this card suddenly erge, Duanmu Huai was also taken aback. This chanical Incarnation card was sothing Duanmu Huai had "tapped" from the Foundation’s base using the Heart of the Blood Raven. However, he never figured out how to use it, so he had left it in the Tribunal to serve as a tool for creating the Tribunal’s combat power.
But now, how did it suddenly appear like this?
Before Duanmu Huai could understand what was happening, the previously tightly sealed, impossible-to-open steel coffin suddenly emitted a soft sound of tal gears turning. Then, the sturdy steel coffin door slowly opened. The girl who had been sleeping inside opened her eyes, gazing silently at Duanmu Huai.
There was not a trace of emotion in those eyes, as cold as a machine. The girl silently looked at Duanmu Huai and then gazed at the Star God fragnt in his hand. At the mont when she fixed her gaze upon it, the Star God fragnt seed to be attracted to sothing, swiftly flying into the girl’s body.
Afterward, the girl slowly closed her eyes again, falling back into sleep. The steel hatch that was open initially also closed once more.
Next, the massive steel coffin rose rapidly and vanished again.
"............"
What the hell?
Watching the coffin disappear completely, Duanmu was perplexed. He stood up and glanced at his card library.
Hmm, the chanical Descent card is still here, and its description hasn’t changed from before.
So what was all that just now?
What is this First-level Authority Creation?
Duanmu Huai could confirm that he had never heard of any First-level Authority Creation in the ga. Plus, how can the system take it away without offering any choice? Shouldn’t I be getting so reward?
"Mr. Knight!"
Just when Duanmu Huai was pondering, Ann’s voice ca from beside him. Looking up, he saw Ann, Ogis, and Lorena quickly running over from the nearby cliff... Oh, upon closer inspection, a huge pit almost a hundred ters deep had ford around him, but thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising.
"Are you okay?"
"I... am not exactly okay. Lorena, bring a bottle of Holy Water."
"Ah, yes!!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s request, Lorena hurriedly fetched a bottle of [Lorena’s Holy Water] from her bosom and handed it over, which Duanmu Huai then drank entirely, feeling his originally burning body gradually becoming much more comfortable.
"Phew... this is much better."
"Mr. Knight, should I go find soone to help?"
Seeing the wounds on Duanmu Huai, even Ann turned slightly pale. She had never seen Duanmu Huai injured despite being with him for so long. Not to ntion that at this mont, Duanmu’s Power Armor was also pierced by the Star God’s Spear, appearing battered and scarred, which imdiately made Ann’s heart leap.
One must know that in the past, no matter what kind of battle Duanmu faced, he always handled it masterfully, looking just the sa afterward.
This is the first ti in Ann’s mory that Duanmu Huai was injured!
"It’s not a big problem..."
At this point, Lorena’s Holy Water had also taken effect. Duanmu Huai moved his limbs and nodded. Speaking of the last strike, it was quite dangerous. Duanmu really hadn’t expected that his Dinsional Transcendence would completely fail against the Star God. Even though ti was halted and skipped, the opponent was still able to launch a surprise attack within the frozen ti.
It was precisely for this reason that Duanmu couldn’t dodge—fortunately, he had managed to use Dinsional Transcendence twice more consecutively, barely stopping the Star God fragnt’s actions and avoiding critical harm.
Indeed, fighting against such a level of existence, rely relying on Soul Cards isn’t enough. Luckily, because he used the power of The Ancient Dominator this ti, after the Star God’s explosion, Duanmu Huai’s divine position of The Ancient Dominator rose swiftly, directly to level eighteen.
Now, Duanmu Huai only has the levels of [The Sixth Great Demon King] and [Pleasure God] left to ascend... Hmm, it’s undeniably tough.
At least, Duanmu Huai couldn’t possibly find a Star God to level up the Pleasure God, especially when he couldn’t tell whether the Star God was male or female. Even assuming the Star God was female, he wasn’t interested given its ghastly appearance!
Is my [Pleasure God] simply stuck without ever leveling up?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai felt rather depressed.
Forget it, things will find a way when they co to a head, so let’s wait and see.
"In any case, the matter here is settled."
Pressing his chest that was still faintly aching, Duanmu Huai looked up at the sky. Perhaps due to the commotion he caused or the vanquishing of the culprit, the thick mist that once covered the planet’s sky had entirely dissipated, revealing the radiant and starry sky.
Under the bright moonlight, the surrounding land seed more lively than before, no longer appearing as lifeless and devoid of vitality as it initially did. Of course, to know the exact situation, they’d have to go back.
"Alright, let’s head back."
Then, Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze and spoke.
