Chapter 1251: Chapter 999: Eat Everything
Long Yi had already been hit by that red light and naturally by the so-called fake divine power. He immediately figured out the composition of this fake divine power.
Long Yi passed the composition of the fake divine power to the smart interface, which immediately adjusted the shield structure, and the erosion stopped right away. However, the cessation of erosion did not mean that all was well because, even without erosion, the power of this red light column was still incredibly formidable. Long Yi could see the energy of the Great Explorer’s shield being rapidly depleted. Thankfully, it wasn’t Long Yi himself enduring the strike directly—had it been him, the shield would have burst in minutes!
This bastard’s power is really not small.
The Great Explorer was a product of the later stage of the Giants. Although it hadn’t undergone any militarization modifications, it wasn’t something that could be easily broken by any small fry. After having devoured everything edible on this planet, the Giant Monster was clearly ready to have a showdown with Long Yi, bombarding the Great Explorer with continuous red light columns, while the ship sustained its shield with the relentless energy from the power core.
"A battle of cannon shots with me? Fire!"
The main cannon of the Great Explorer, already fully charged, fired immediately. Although the beam from the cannon was not as thick as the one from the Giant Monster, it was brighter!
The Giant Monster, seeing the beam coming from the main cannon, immediately displayed a red shield all over its body. The beam hit the shield, causing waves of fluctuations. The all-out strike from the main cannon of the Great Explorer was actually blocked by the Giant Monster!
"Can we increase the output power even more?" Long Yi asked.
"We can perform a super-powered output for ten seconds, but afterward, the main cannon will enter a cooling period twice as long," the smart interface responded.
"Super-powered output!" Long Yi commanded without hesitation.
Whoom!
The beam from the main cannon hadn’t disappeared, and at the back of the main cannon, some new structures unexpectedly combined and transformed, attaching themselves to the main cannon.
"Super-powered output device will run in three, two, one."
Boom!
This time, even the interior of the Great Explorer shook significantly. A beam almost half the size of the Great Explorer thundered down, and the Giant Monster’s shield oscillated even more violently.
"Ow!"
The Giant Monster let out a ghastly scream, feeling the immense power of the main cannon. Its entire body displayed strange runes, and its body instantly shed a layer, focusing all its energy on the shield.
But even so, the super-powered output of the main cannon still unleashed terrifying power. The red shield shattered thunderously, and the beam hit directly on the Giant Monster’s body, immediately burning a huge hole through it!
Unfortunately, the super-powered output of the main cannon had ended, and the beam did not completely penetrate the body of the Giant Monster. However, the power of this strike allowed Long Yi to gauge the limit of damage the Giant Monster could sustain.
Clearly, after this strike, the Giant Monster became even crazier. Gigantic scales grew on its body, covered with mysterious runes that looked like Divine Texts or Giant scripts. Regardless of what they were, these things were definitely used to resist energy attacks.
As the scales appeared, the three gigantic mouths of the Giant Monster opened once again, but this time, they slowly fused into one. Then, an extremely bright beam thundered forth!
"Energy Deflection Array!" Long Yi roared, directly casting this array through the control interface.
The beam struck the array, deflecting part of the energy, which blasted the distant ground, instantly destroying the rocks. However, the power of the Energy Deflection Array was not enough to divert all the energy. Part of it still hit the shield of the Great Explorer.
Long Yi could see the shield being consumed at a shocking rate, then rapidly replenished by the power core.
Although the energy from the power core was inexhaustible, if the opponent’s single strike caused too much damage, it would mean the shield could be completely consumed before it could be recharged. If that happened, the Great Explorer would inevitably suffer severe damage!
While this blast was tremendously powerful, it fortunately did not last long. After the strike, the Giant Monster roared angrily, and from the wound previously blasted open by the main cannon of the Great Explorer, a throng of wriggling small creatures emerged! These small creatures had nothing but a purely spherical body and a pair of wings, but inside those spherical bodies, they harbored immense energy.
These aren’t self-destructive beetles? Long Yi almost immediately recognized that these creatures were nearly identical to the Hive Dragon’s self-destructive beetles from the Human Realm, except they looked more like bats than beetles.
"How are the anti-air cannons of the Great Explorer coming along?" Long Yi shouted.
"Most are already online and ready to use. However, there are still some in the installation process," the smart interface stated.
"Stop installing the unusable ones, activate all the anti-air cannons, full defense!"
Back when he was in the Human Realm, there was a ring of space stations surrounding the realm, equipped with a certain number of anti-air cannons primarily for dealing with external threats and meteorites to the Human Realm. Long Yi had taken a batch from those space stations when he boarded them. Some were used during the great battle, and the rest were installed on the Great Explorer. Because there was no urgent need, installing the anti-air cannons had never been prioritized, but now they suddenly proved to be of use!
The armor around the Great Explorer opened up, and the anti-air cannons emerged. A series of beams precisely hit the self-destructive bats surrounding it, exploding them into balls of light in the air. Some other incoming self-destructive bats couldn’t dodge in time and were also caught in the explosions. Even though there were many anti-air cannons, they couldn’t keep up with the vast number of self-destructive bats, and soon some broke through the fire range of the cannons and hit the shield.
"Damn it!"
Long Yi cursed and charged out of the Great Explorer, mana surging as he cast a magic spell immediately!
A sky full of magic missiles flew out, hitting the self-destructive bats. However, a single magic missile couldn’t destroy a self-destructive bat! It even took two or three magic missiles to do so! Long Yi immediately adjusted his mana, increasing the magic missiles’ power to three times their usual strength. At the same time, he held a Cosmic Stone in his mouth, almost eating it to absorb its energy.
"I’ve got a Cosmic Stone, I don’t believe you can outlast my stamina!"
With the Cosmic Stone in his mouth, Long Yi shouted, though his words were unclear.
This head-on confrontation was extremely simple and brutal, the competition was about who could last longer. But one used his own body as the fuel, while the other used a Cosmic Stone.
When the Cosmic Stone in Long Yi’s mouth was consumed for the third time, the number of self-destructive bats finally decreased, and the body of the Giant Monster below shrunk again!
"Come on! Come and compete!" Long Yi shouted, his mouth burning with pain.
"Main cannon superpower cooling completed, recharging begun," reported the intelligence interface.
At that moment, the Giant Monster below turned and began to eat the rocks from the ground!
Are you kidding? Eating rocks now?
Those rocks are mine!
Ignoring the severe pain in his mouth, Long Yi stuffed a handful of Cosmic Stone fragments into his mouth and raised both hands high, forming an immense Array.
Great Magma Technique!
An incredibly terrifying energy descended from the sky to the ground, in an instant, the ground temperature rose rapidly, softened, and then turned into magma! The Giant Monster, although it could chew rocks, dared not touch the magma. It roared in frustration as it turned to swallow rocks from another side.
"Keep up the attack rhythm! I’m going down to look for opportunities!" Long Yi shouted, sticking out his tongue, then leapt down from the air.
"Fire Rock Armor!" Upon plunging into the magma, the Fire Rock Armor protected Long Yi. At the same time, he also placed the Crystal Core of a Molten Beast into the magma.
The Giant Monster clearly saw Long Yi, it roared and shot out powerful attacks into the magma, but by then Long Yi had already disappeared without a trace; such random attacks only served to increase the temperature of the magma, serving no real purpose!
At that time, Long Yi was lurking in the magma, slowly maneuvering below the Giant Monster, while countless Molten Beasts followed by his side. Long Yi distributed the fragments of the Cosmic Stone, and each Molten Beast received a piece.
"Come on, let’s set this whole planet on fire!" Long Yi bellowed.
The Molten Beasts, excited, roamed underground, and with the support of the Cosmic Stones, they turned the rock layers beneath the Giant Monster into magma in no time!
The Giant Monster seemed to sense something wrong beneath it, it was about to leave when the rock layer suddenly shattered, and its massive and heavy body fell directly into the magma!
"Have a nice bath!"
Countless Molten Beasts surged forward, dragging the still struggling Giant Monster deep into the magma. The Giant Monster let out a painful shriek, but since it had no leverage, it could only be trapped by the Molten Beasts.
Although the swirling of the magma seemed to stop, Long Yi’s heart sank. Because he could feel that the Giant Monster’s energy had not weakened at all, but had grown even stronger!
This is bad!
Long Yi immediately commanded all the Molten Beasts to abandon their bodies; all cores went back to Long Yi’s side, and at the same time, Long Yi quickly left the magma area, leaping into the air!
In that magma, an even larger Giant Monster was slowly lifting its head.
"The power of rocks! Hahaha, I should thank you... Long Yi, it’s all because of your Fire Rock power! My body has finally completed!" It was Solis’s voice, only now it was deeper!
"You’re welcome, after all, having been my servant for so long, as your master, it’s my duty to help you out," said Long Yi, even though he knew he had made a mistake, he refused to be outdone verbally.
"Haha, Long Yi, Long Yi, even now you still don’t realize? You could never be my match! The gap between you and me is like that between gods and giants," Solis roared.
"That’s actually quite coincidental, as I happen to be a Giant. Are you trying to say you are a god?" Long Yi floated in the air, looked at the Giant Monster emerging from the magma, and scoffed with a chuckle.
"Long Yi, in your eyes, gods must be very sacred, right? Unfortunately, to us, gods are merely like food. No matter what she created in the past, in the end, didn’t we turn her into a madwoman? Hahaha! Look at those stupid things she did later, it’s simply hilarious! We were born from her consciousness, nourished by her divine power, aren’t we supposed to be greater beings than gods?" Perhaps because he had achieved his Complete Form, Solis was less anxious and began to reason with Long Yi.
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel enlightened!" Long Yi nodded and said, "I will never despise the worms in my stomach again. Because you are such a great race, next time I see a mosquito I will worship it! Because that’s simply the top of the food chain! Hahahaha!" (To be continued.
