Chapter 255: Chapter 223: Creative Technique: Death Sealed Space (Part 2)
RUMBLE!
At Gao Neng’s command, a massive cube suddenly appeared on the ground.
It was a solid cube formed entirely from mixed energy, over a hundred meters in diameter, that had simply materialized out of thin air.
"Unlimited Creativity, Geometric... Annihilation!" Gao Neng named his cube.
He called it: Geometric Annihilation.
Also known as: Knowledge Changes Destiny.
And also: The Deadly Sealed Space.
Of course, the name wasn’t important. What mattered was that it killed aliens fast.
After the solid cube appeared, all the liquid energy surged out as if drawn by an invisible force, wrapping itself around the solid structure.
Some aliens who were caught where the cube materialized were instantly enveloped. At the same time, hands shot out from the cube’s surface, grabbing nearby aliens and dragging them inside.
In a single moment, several were dragged into the cube.
And then...
There was no "and then."
The aliens dragged inside didn’t even have time to scream.
"What is that thing?!" The Princes instinctively took a few steps back. Most of them were only at the Fifth Order.
There weren’t many at the Sixth Order among them.
"This is the real deal!" Gao Neng wasn’t foolish enough to tell the Princes that the inspiration for his Deadly Sealed Space was... a Rubik’s Cube!
In reality, within this hundred-meter-diameter cube were countless smaller cubes, each one an independent space.
And each of those small cubes was a prison.
Once you were inside...
...death was almost certain. They were all sealed, airless spaces. Even if you could break out of one, you would immediately fall into another.
All Gao Neng had to do was...
...make the smaller cubes inside form a shifting maze. Break one, and there’s another. Break that one, and there’s still another...
An infinite cycle.
Now, he just had to figure out how to drag Mu Feifei and the other three Sixth-Orders inside.
However, accomplishing that was difficult.
Gao Neng tried twice, but he couldn’t get a grip on Mu Feifei.
Before Mu Feifei, the grasping hands were like a child’s trying to pull an adult. Could a child really move a grown-up?
"Die!" At that moment, Mu Feifei finally reached Gao Neng.
BOOM!
With a tremendous bang, Fang Tangtang’s mobile bunker shielded Gao Neng as she fired her Electromagnetic Cannon.
But the shot missed Mu Feifei, who easily dodged it.
At the same time, Mu Feifei’s sword slashed down on Fang Tangtang’s mobile bunker, cleaving it in two like a watermelon sliced by a cleaver.
"Whoa?! This Battle Angel is this strong?" Fang Tangtang was clearly startled. Without a moment’s hesitation, she prepared to flee sideways.
But in that instant, a hand of mixed energy grabbed Fang Tangtang and began pulling her toward the sealed space.
Fang Tangtang was too stunned to react.
She had no idea what Gao Neng’s giant cube was for...
...but she did know that many aliens were now inside it, and so far, not a single one had come out. Not a single sound had been heard.
"Ah... Gao Neng, are you crazy?! I’m Death God Fang Tangtang, don’t drag me in! AHH... Gao Neng, please, don’t kill me!" Fang Tangtang cried out, terrified.
But it was no use.
She wasn’t a Sixth-Order.
It took hardly any effort for Gao Neng to drag her in.
Just like that, Fang Tangtang vanished into the cube.
The moment she disappeared, Gao Neng leaped to the left and, without hesitation, charged into the cube himself.
If he couldn’t drag Mu Feifei in...
...then the next best thing was to go in himself!
As bait!
"Ning’Er, get over here! Come into my ’Deadly Sealed Space’ with me!" Gao Neng shouted as he rushed in.
As for Gui Zian...
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to call him, but he didn’t know if his ability could contain a high-order being.
’Best to let Gui Zian keep stalling them outside for now. Every second he can buy is precious. If he can keep the high-orders occupied, that would be ideal.’
"Hmm?" Shen Ning’Er glanced back, then charged forward without hesitation, following Gao Neng into the Deadly Sealed Space.
...
"What is this place?" Fang Tangtang was on the verge of tears when she saw Gao Neng and Shen Ning’Er appear before her.
Then, her vision cleared. She found herself standing on top of a massive cube, a full hundred meters high.
She was standing on the surface of the cube.
"It’s hard to explain in detail. Have you ever played with a Rubik’s Cube? This is just a giant one!" Gao Neng, aware of Fang Tangtang’s intelligence, opted for the simplest explanation.
"A what cube?" Fang Tangtang looked utterly baffled.
She was a rich young lady, after all!
Growing up, she was accompanied more by mechanical dolls and electronic gadgets. A Rubik’s Cube... she couldn’t even recall what it was at first.
"A giant Rubik’s Cube? I understand!" Shen Ning’Er grasped the concept instantly. She continued, "You’re planning to lure them in and then pick them off one by one?"
The difference in their intellect was immediately apparent.
"Exactly. I can control all the smaller cubes inside, and I’ve evacuated all the air. Fourth and Fifth-Orders won’t last long, but I don’t know how long a Sixth-Order can survive in a vacuum!" Gao Neng genuinely wasn’t sure if a Sixth-Order could die from asphyxiation.
"A Sixth-Order should be able to survive for fifteen minutes," Shen Ning’Er answered.
"Fifteen minutes?!" Gao Neng’s expression changed. His first magnetic core was already turning white, and it had been less than ten minutes.
At this rate of consumption, he couldn’t replenish his energy fast enough even by gobbling down Energy Pills. If nothing unexpected happened, he could hold out for another eleven or twelve minutes at most.
"How much longer can you maintain this Deadly Sealed Space?" Shen Ning’Er saw right through him.
"Twelve minutes, max... definitely not more than fifteen!" Gao Neng gritted his teeth. This was truly his limit, and that was with the cube’s diameter controlled at just one hundred meters.
If he had made it two hundred meters...
...he probably would have collapsed from exhaustion in three or four minutes.
"Understood. Then from now on... leave it to me!" Shen Ning’Er nodded, her eyes growing exceptionally bright.
ROAR!
A clear dragon’s cry echoed.
Then, a massive dragon wreathed in flames materialized before Shen Ning’Er.
It was at least twenty meters long. It coiled on the surface of the cube, its two crimson eyes staring down at the battlefield below.
"Another energy manifestation?! She can control two at once!" The other Princes were shocked when they saw the dragon. They already knew Shen Ning’Er was formidable...
...but they never imagined she was this powerful.
To control two manifested energy beasts at once!
That wasn’t something a normal human could achieve through mere effort.
"Next, I’ll find a way to pull the Sixth-Order aliens in. Your job is to create one-on-one combat opportunities for me. As for Mu Feifei... trap her if you can!" As Shen Ning’Er finished speaking, the twenty-meter-long dragon launched itself from the cube.
It charged straight toward the group of Sixth-Order aliens.
BAM!
A whip of the dragon’s tail!
At least three Sixth-Order aliens were struck.
"Damn it!"
"Don’t go into that thing!"
"..."
The three Sixth-Order aliens were horrified and tried to halt their momentum in mid-air, but just then, six hands shot out, each one grabbing a foot.
In an instant, the three Sixth-Order aliens were dragged into the cube.
A brutal massacre...
...had officially begun!
(Something came up... won’t be able to get the second Chapter out today. I’ll make it up with three Chapters tomorrow! If I fail, I’ll chop off my junk!)
