Chapter 1339: Chapter 1085: Give and Take
This time, Yahola’s battleships didn’t disappear; they were all there. But each one of those battleships was like wood eaten by worms, messily shattered, some even sheared in half from the middle!
Who did this, who on earth did this?
Now, this question filled Yahola’s mind.
But suddenly, he froze, and then he suddenly roared.
"Damn it!"
He hurriedly moved to the lower level, where there was a small speedboat that also possessed teleportation capabilities. As soon as Yahola boarded the speedboat, he saw the space ahead of him suddenly ripping apart, and right afterwards, the black Sea Demon leisurely sailed out!
As expected!
A thud struck Yahola’s heart because he suddenly thought, would the opponent use the same strategy against him again? And indeed, his guess was correct.
The enormous black Sea Demon still had the makeshift armor that had not been removed for disguise, and the holes that were used to mount equipment had not been filled. Some auxiliary scaffolding hadn’t been dismantled, and some areas were still leaking air!
All of this indicated that this spaceship had been forcefully moved out of the dockyard! Within this plane, there were not many who could pilot this ship out, but there was only one person who bore a grudge against him.
Mahal!
"You’re leaving in such a hurry, have you forgotten something, my Group Leader?"
The communication came through, and a fierce face appeared.
"Mahal, is it you?" Yahola asked in a deep voice.
"Right! Truly worthy of being the Group Leader who possesses both strength and wisdom, even I have changed into this ghastly form, and you still recognize me." Mahal burst out laughing, his sharp teeth flashing coldly.
"What did Long Yi do to you, to make you turn out like this?" Yahola asked, stalling for time, wanting to understand everything.
"What did Lord Long Yi do to us? Hehehe, I think you’ll know very soon!"
Boom!
All the cannons aboard the black Sea Demon fired at the same time, The light beams struck Yahola’s fleet.
"Group Leader! Shall we counterattack?" asked one of Yahola’s subordinates.
"Shields up, do not counterattack! Let the modified warriors deal with them!" Yahola roared.
That was his most treasured black Sea Demon, where his secret was hidden. Only that spaceship was absolutely not to be lost.
The ship’s hold opened, and over a hundred modified warriors roared as they rushed into the cosmos, heading straight for the black Sea Demon.
The cannons on the black Sea Demon completely ignored them, allowing them to get close, focusing all their firepower on the fleet instead.
Yahola was among the modified warriors.
His heart was filled with questions, so he had to see for himself what exactly had put him in such a wretched state.
Of course, due to the influence of the Divine Worm, Yahola’s own strength was also extremely formidable, even exceeding that of the modified warriors, which is why he dared to board the black Sea Demon directly.
The black Sea Demon had many holes in it at that moment, which were the parts where armor had been removed. Those modified warriors swarmed in through those holes, smashing up a lot of places along the way, making Yahola’s heart ache.
"Be careful, this is my ship!" Yahola shouted.
Although the modified warriors complied with orders, they clearly did not quite understand this command to ’be careful’.
However, it wasn’t long before Yahola no longer had time to worry about them. That’s because, right in the forefront, the fastest charging modified warrior was suddenly blasted back by a terrifying Fighting Aura!
Ahead was a small warehouse which once was filled with looted treasures, all of Yahola’s personal property. Now, due to retrofitting, Yahola had moved all these things out, and the empty warehouse contained only him and his group of modified warriors.
Then, from the door opposite, a group of towering figures approached with heavy footsteps.
They were warriors even taller than the Modified Warriors, clad in heavy metal armor adorned with runes. Fighting Aura swirled around them, their power seemingly even surpassing that of the Modified Warriors!
Afterward, a warrior slowly emerged from behind them. What set him apart from the others was the ferocious skull emblem on his chest.
The warrior walked to the front of everyone, removing his helmet to reveal a grim face beneath.
"It’s been a while, Group Leader."
Yahola finally understood what was going on.
The man in front should be Mahal, but Yahola could feel the distinct vibrations of the Leviathan Worm emanating from him. Clearly, Long Yi had used the Leviathan Worm to modify them as well! This was something Yahola had not anticipated because, as far as he knew, Long Yi, being a Giant, shouldn’t have liked to modify life in this manner.
Nevertheless, these warriors before him must be the pirates who had escaped before, who with the power of the Leviathan Worm, became the formidable fighters they now were.
"You may have gained great power, Mahal, but you are still no match for me," Yahola said. He knew Long Yi was a Giant, a true god of the Trinity, but it seemed Mahal was unaware. As long as Mahal didn’t reveal it himself, he would certainly not utter a word. Because he was well aware of the extent to which the entire multiverse blindly trusted the Giants. Once someone knew Long Yi was a Giant, Long Yi would soon gather a host of believers throughout the Plane! And these believers would provide Long Yi with endless Divine Power!
"Oh, and how do you plan to beat me? With your ragtag bunch of Modified Warriors?" Mahal laughed, he couldn’t smile now, but Yahola could feel him laughing.
This was the third time today Yahola heard the words ’ragtag bunch,’ and it made him uncomfortable. Under normal circumstances, he would’ve exploded with rage by now. But at this moment, he was extremely calm because he wasn’t just Yahola, but the Divine Worm Yahola. He didn’t need to play the role of the irascible character; he needed to rely on his intelligence now.
"Perhaps, things haven’t reached the point where we must fight to the death, Mahal. You know very well how I treated you before, out of all my subordinates, I treated you the best," Yahola said.
"Yes, you treated me the best, which means you hit me the least harshly and scolded me with the mildest words, right?" Mahal shook his head, saying, "Thank you, Group Leader, I really appreciate it. Your generosity is truly beyond my capacity to repay. Hahaha!"
This time not only did Mahal burst into laughter, but all the surrounding warriors joined in the laughter as well.
"State your terms, Mahal. You’re a pirate, and I’m a pirate; we both know the pirate’s code—everything has a price. Name your price and let’s put an end to this pointless battle. The middle Plane is vast enough to accommodate two top pirate groups," Yahola said.
Mahal knew very well that Yahola was proposing a truce; his words clearly intended to acknowledge Mahal’s presence.
```
"Regrettably, Yahola, I refuse to accept your proposal. To confront you, we transformed from ordinary pirates into what we are now. Moreover, I’ve wasted quite a bit of energy to finally lure you out. Today, here, only one of us can leave alive!"
Yahola’s gaze grew dark. He wasn’t actually afraid of Mahal. With his cunning, he had no intention of engaging in an uncertain battle. He wanted to delay some time to fully understand the strength of these equally modified warriors before he would boldly make his move. However, he hadn’t expected Mahal to not fall for it.
"If that’s the case, then... die!"
Yahola’s Modified Warriors clashed with those of Mahal’s side. Despite Mahal’s side being only a third of Yahola’s, the first collision shockingly resulted in a standstill!
Flying Fighting Aura sliced through the surrounding structures, and the originally tidy warehouse was immediately turned into a mess. Every three of Yahola’s Modified Warriors faced off against one of Mahal’s, and even though they were outnumbered, these Heavy Armor-clad Modified Warriors didn’t fall behind at all! And Mahal charged directly at Yahola!
"Dream on!"
Fighting Aura surged around Yahola, clashing head-on with Mahal. Mahal, after being modified, was full of confidence in his strength, and the continuous battles only boosted his confidence further. But to his surprise, Yahola’s strength was incredibly formidable! His own furious blow was actually blocked by Yahola! Although Mahal had long known that Yahola’s strength should not be underestimated, to find it to this extent was beyond his expectation.
But Mahal didn’t show the slightest sign of retreating! His Fighting Aura heightened even further, unleashing a continuous barrage of Fighting Aura techniques, battling fiercely with Yahola.
At this moment, the most shocked was actually Yahola. He had prepared himself mentally for Mahal’s strength. But only upon contact did he realize that he had still underestimated Mahal’s power. Though both were modified warriors, it was clear that Mahal possessed strength far exceeding that of his own subordinates.
Was this the power of Giants? Or the power of the Trinity True Gods? Or could this actually be the true power of the Leviathan Worm? Yahola felt a bit amused; in that remote star sector, Simu and the others still looked down upon him, yet they didn’t realize that the so-called Modified Warriors they provided him like a gift were nothing compared to Giants! Mahal was not his opponent, but it also seemed difficult for him to kill Mahal quickly. And now, it seemed the tide of the entire battlefield was starting to turn in Mahal’s favor.
Despite having the advantage in numbers, Yahola’s Modified Warriors couldn’t open up the situation at all, and furthermore, their every attack was tightly countered by the opponents. On the other hand, Mahal’s Modified Warriors looked as if they were growing increasingly more valiant with each battle!
No! It wasn’t as if – they were indeed growing more valiant with each fight! He could see that each time one of Mahal’s Modified Warriors successfully injured one of his own, innumerable mist-like entities would fly from the wounds. Those were the very source of the Modified Warrior’s strength, the Leviathan Worms! Mahal’s Modified Warriors were continuously absorbing Leviathan Worms from the bodies of the opposing Modified Warriors!
As one side grew stronger and the other weaker, what had been an evenly matched battle quickly turned into a rout!
Damn it!
Yahola cursed, as things eventually reached this point. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
